Chapter 240: The Truth
The caravan's heavy cavalry and ironclad infantry rushed in from the city gate, and Li Xiaofei and Yu Tao met the enemy with a sword and shield battalion and a spear battalion.
The impact of the heavy cavalry was beyond their imagination, the spear was broken, and the head of the spear was half-stuck in the heavy armor of the warhorse.
Then the spear battalion and the sword and shield battalion were knocked to the ground, and the heavy cavalry swung their swords and slashed, and the soldiers of the spear battalion and the sword and shield battalion did not flee, but stabbed the war horses with all their might.
The heavy cavalry expected it to be a handy massacre, but they did not expect such a deadly resistance. The soldiers of the Sword and Shield Battalion rushed forward and pounced on their horses, and the fallen soldiers used their last strength to hold on to their horses' legs, causing the heavy cavalry to stop.
The battalion of dead soldiers led by Cai Guishan also threw ropes from the roof to lasso the heavy cavalry and pull them away from their horses, the heavy cavalry was blocked, but the ironclad infantry waved their swords and cut the battalion step by step.
Most of the armor of the Southern Navy is leather armor and bamboo armor, and compared with this group of ironclad infantry who only show two eyes, the gap is too great.
The spears of the Southern Navy could not penetrate, and the ironclad infantry of the caravan cut off the spears with a wave of their knives, and the knives were caught by the gloves made of soft steel of the ironclad infantry, and the soldiers of the Southern Navy could not hurt them at all. The ironclad infantry moved forward step by step, and also saved the besieged heavy cavalry.
The caravan's chariots also drove in behind, and the Southern Navy was scattered again, this time already beginning to break out.
At the critical moment, the powerful Yu Tao held a large log and smashed it in the face of several ironclad infantry in front of him, knocking them to the ground at once.
Yu Tao threw the log at the heavy cavalry who were about to rush behind, and knocked down several heavy armored cavalry.
Chen Jingyi's White Horse Battalion also rushed over, each armed with a torch and a bundle of hay.
Chen Jingyi rushed to Yu Tao's side first, "Third Brother Yu, step back first!" Brothers, throw yourself into the fire! ”
Dozens of torches and dozens of bales of hay were thrown at once behind the heavy cavalry who were about to continue to charge, and the hay crackled and burned, and the horses were frightened and galloped in all directions.
At this time, some of the heavy cavalry rushed into the houses on the street, some rushed to the chariots, some overturned the ironclad infantry, and some rushed towards the southern navy.
One of the heavily armored cavalry team waved his sword and shouted, "Don't panic, keep in formation!" Don't panic! Steady the horse! ”
"Capture the thief and capture the king first! Counterattack! Chen Jingyi drew his sword and pointed at the man commanding the heavily armored cavalry
The battalion of dead soldiers also threw the remaining lasso at the commander, and Yu Tao also pulled out the pillar on the archway on the street and rushed over.
The man commanding the heavy cavalry did not panic at all when he saw the lasso thrown over, he took off his helmet, threw his sword and retracted his hand, and the whole person jumped out of the armor.
The lasso only encased an empty pair of armor, and out of the armor came a wizened old man.
The old man was thin except for his big face, and he looked very terrifying, and the old man quickly retreated to the chariot behind him, and several chariots quickly raised the baffle to protect the old man.
When did Li Xiaofei receive this kind of anger, the men and horses of the fourth battalion of the Southern Navy could not stop a caravan of several hundred people. In a fit of rage, he asked the people of the yamen to lead the people of the city to surround him, and even if it was consumed, the caravan would have to be consumed to death.
The battle was always stalemate at fifty zhang inside the east gate, the caravan was well-equipped but few men, and the South China Sea soldiers were outnumbered but could barely block the caravan's attack.
Hua Xiaoan, who led the people, saw this situation and immediately came up with a bad move, bringing a lot of oil and pouring it on both sides in the melee.
But on the chariot
The old man was unequivocal, before Hua Xiao'an lit the fire, a few bags of sand were thrown out of the chariot to cover the oil in front of the chariot, and some soldiers sprinkled sand into the crowd.
The Southern Navy had nothing to do for a while, but fortunately, Wang Ruoyun and his family pushed more than a dozen vehicles in front of the Southern Navy, so as not to be scattered by the caravan.
Nearly 5,000 people besieged the caravan of less than 300 people, and after a few hours, it was a draw.
The old man of the caravan said, "Don't fight, what are you killing our people for no reason?" You didn't take any money from the camp! I think there must be some misunderstanding here, as long as you give us an explanation, we will leave! ”
Li Xiaofei's eyes widened angrily, "Push it out!" ”
Several soldiers came out with a dying severed arm swordsman: "This beast! Slaughtered my people fifteen years ago! Shouldn't I take revenge? ”
"Your reason is too far-fetched! Besides, he's just an outpost agent hired by us, and even if you want revenge, why kill someone else? The old man didn't give up, and also glared at Li Xiaofei
Li Xiaofei was very remorseful, he knew that there was still money in the camp, so he should have searched for a while. But at this time, you must not admit that you killed the wrong people, "Senior! I, Li, am also a person who pays attention to etiquette, I wanted to ask for a reason, but this animal could not be said to draw a sword and invited everyone to kill me, in desperation, our army had to resist! In other words, the seniors would not be slaughtered! ”
"Hehe, there is no proof of death, strong words! Let this one-armed swordsman speak! As he spoke, the old man flicked his fingers and flew out, and a stone knocked off the rag from the one-armed swordsman's mouth
The one-armed swordsman immediately shouted, "Yes, the slaughter of your village fifteen years ago has someone's share of ours!" If you want revenge, take revenge! Boss Pei, Fang someone's mission has not been completed this time, I hope you can treat my family well! ”
Boss Pei, that old man, he nodded, "If the mission fails, the bounty will only be one percent, okay, your family, let's go to our castle!" Remove! ”
A "withdraw"!
The heavy cavalry first turned their horses and went out of the city gate, and then the ironclad infantry faced Li Xiaofei and walked backwards towards the city gate.
"Boss Pei! Since you have nothing to do with this, it is better for everyone to sit down and talk, and you don't know each other! Li Xiaofei didn't want to let them go, the combat power of this caravan had exceeded the combat power of the Southern Navy.
"We're just passing through, and we're here to replenish our provisions. We have to continue our journey to the Dian Kingdom! ”
Boss Pei said and hugged his fists and saluted, "Get out of the city!" ”
One by one, the chariots also left the city.
"Can Boss Pei leave his name?" Li Xiaofei asked, and everyone else couldn't help but complain a little, and finally these powerful people took the initiative to leave, and Li Xiaofei kept it again and again.
"Hedong Pei Yunlai is coming!" The old man said five words and continued to walk away with the caravan
This time, the Southern Navy suffered a big loss, and what was even more fatal was that the people in Yuzhang City saw that Li Xiaofei's men and horses were not invincible, and even showed defeat. Originally, I thought that the Southern Navy was a tiger, but now it seems that it is just a fierce dog.
"Lord Li, if it weren't for the help of the people of our whole city today, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stop the caravan of hundreds of people" Wang Ruoyun was the first to make his words clear.
Li Xiaofei laughed, "We are the people, we are all a family, you are us, we are also you"
Originally, these empty words were enough to fool the past, but Wang Ruoyun is not a person who plays cards according to common sense
"You are you, the people who came from the South China Sea to seize Yuzhang City, we are the people of Yuzhang City, we just think you are okay, otherwise it will be okay for anyone!"
"Don't be so outside! You are my wife, it's too bad for me to divide you like this, come on, I'll give you a hug, everyone hugs each other, we want to love each other as a family! ”
As he spoke, Li Xiaofei had already hugged Wang Ruoyun, and Wang Ruoyun struggled with a red face, "The court!" You! ”
Li Xiaofei let go and pulled Wang Ruoyun up, and then ran: "Idlers avoid it!" The official returned home with his wife! Open the way! ”
The two words "open the way" are so long that the entourage soldiers who were supposed to open the way are left behind.
Everyone also laughed or hugged or shook hands, Cai Guishan took a few tavern guys and men to drink, Chen Jingyi pulled the teaching gentleman Zhao Agui to talk about the past and the present, Hua Xiaoan tied the swordsman with the broken arm back to the prison, and Yuan Xin followed with the medicine box on his back.
"A prisoner! It's still Lord Li's uncommon enemy! What did you do to save him? He's going to die anyway! Hua Xiaoan was puzzled by Yuan Xin's actions, and was a little mocking
"The healer is benevolent! He is now seriously wounded, and even if he is to be executed, he must be healed first! Yuan Xin looked serious
"Little brother, don't waste your efforts! I've done something a thousand times and ten thousand times! The Severed Arm Swordsman said slowly
Yuan Xin still bandaged his wounds, fed him medicinal soup, and was waiting, when Li Xiaofei came.
"Yuan Xin! Hello so bold! He is my enemy, and how dare you heal him? ”
"In the eyes of the lower eye, there are only the injured, as a doctor, you should save the wounded"
Before Yuan Xin could finish speaking, Li Xiaofei patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, with a doctor like you, there is a little more vitality in this world."
As he spoke, Li Xiaofei squinted at the severed arm swordsman who was leaning against the wall, and the severed arm swordsman also looked at Li Xiaofei and smiled.
"Sure enough, it's a person who kills people without blinking, and he can still smile at this time!"
"I finally have this day, and I can end this sin as soon as possible! Give me a good time, my injuries are not cured! ”
"You want a happy death, you can! But you have to tell me, why did you innocently kill more than 300 men, women, and children in our village? Why? ”
"For the reward! One head is a hundred dollars! ”
"In order to receive the reward money, you slaughtered our Lijia Village? More than 300 people are only more than 30,000 copper coins, how many can you share? ”
"You don't lack money, and of course you don't know how precious money is! I have a share, you kill me, avenge your relatives, that's the case! ”
"It is said that heroes regard death as home, and you are a murderous animal, and you also have this heroism? I think you're hiding something! ”
"In a village like Lijia Village, we have destroyed more than 30 of them! That's the truth, kill the good and risk the merit! With that, the severed-arm swordsman closed his eyes and waited for death
Li Xiaofei pulled out his sword, and Yuan Xin grabbed him, "He is now a seriously injured person, how can you convince him by killing him now?" What's more, there must be a reason why he is in such a hurry to die. ”
Li Xiaofei realized that what Yuan Xin said made sense: "Okay, the doctor is benevolent!" I'll spare him for the time being! ”
The swordsman with the broken arm opened his eyes, "Whatever you want, I'm just waiting to die!" ”
Li Xiaofei held back his anger and returned to the lobby from the cell.
