Chapter 524: Fighting Qingzhou City in the Open and Secretly (II)

The work of breaking the city was already within reach, Jiang Jing and Zhu Fu did not hesitate anymore, immediately drew a knife in his hand, beckoned more than 20 minions behind him, and quickly rushed into the prefect's yamen with the door open. The first few people shouted loudly: "The heroes of Liangshan are here, and the dog official has not come out to die!" ”

They fought all the way into the vicinity of the yamen hall without hindrance, but it was still dark and silent in front of them, as if it had become an empty house, and not even a single messenger who had come out to resist had not shown up. This is naturally a good thing in the eyes of other minions, just kill all the way in and take down the Qingzhou prefect who may have been scared to hide, but Jiang Jing's face became solemn at this time, and his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, there are some strange things here!" ”

After what he said, Zhu Fu also came back to his senses: "Yes, how can there be a government office that allows us to break into the second hall so easily, even if dozens of people ran out just now, there should be some people left behind!" Although he said this, he did not stop the pace of leading the people, and had already crossed the door between the main hall and the second hall.

And at the moment when their footsteps stepped into the courtyard where the second hall was located, a sudden change occurred! With the sound of bangs, a row of torches lit up in unison on the left and right, and then with a neat and crisp order: "Release!" At the same time, a terrifying bowstring sound sounded on both sides, and as soon as the string sounded, a sharp sound of breaking the air also hit left and right.

Zhu Fu, who hadn't put his steps down, had already let out a scream that didn't match his size at all: "It's a trick, there's an ambush!" At the same time, he shrank his head and retreated quickly. But his body was too big, and the arrows came too quickly, and he was finally shot in the shoulder and chest by two arrows, and staggered back with a miserable grunt.

And the situation of those minions who came out with him became more and more unbearable, their skills were not as good as Zhu Fu, and the moment they saw the flames protruding, they couldn't react, just stunned, dozens of arrows had come intensively, and in an instant, the seven or eight people walking in the head were shot like hedgehogs.

The screams of these people immediately made Jiang Jing clear about the fact that an ambush had already been set up in this mansion, just waiting for them to plant themselves headlong. Now that his brother has suffered nearly half of the casualties and lost his fighting spirit, he doesn't dare to break in anymore, and he just shouts: "Retreat!" As he spoke, he had already taken the lead in turning around and running back, and the reaction of the others this time was not much slower than that of him, the leader of the cottage, even Zhu Fu, who was injured, followed closely with the pain, and ran towards the front yard at a faster speed than when he came in.

But at this moment, a row of fires suddenly lit up in front of them, and when everyone stared at them, their faces suddenly turned pale, and there were more than 20 officers and soldiers blocking their way. If it was just more than 20 people, they would still break through, the problem is that these more than 20 people still have crossbow machines in their hands, and the arrows exposed in front of them reflect the cold light that makes people's hearts palpitate under the light of the fire, which is not something that they can break through with the remaining ten people.

When they saw this, someone in the rear quickly caught up, and a majestic voice sounded: "You have wings and are unable to fly, and if you don't want to die, abandon your weapons and lie on the ground, otherwise you will be killed!" Although they didn't turn back, they could still feel the threat of those arrows in the rear, which made the remaining dozen minions lose their resistance in an instant, and after only a little hesitation, someone simply dropped the weapon in his hand: "I...... I give up! As he spoke, he slowly knelt on the ground as the other party said, not daring to raise his head.

With the first one to take the lead, the others no longer had any psychological burden, and obediently dropped their weapons and all knelt on the ground. In the blink of an eye, only two of the more than 20 Liangshan heroes who had entered the government were still standing there a little indifferently, but their bodies were also trembling slightly, and they were also panicked in their hearts.

Jiang Jing and Zhu Fu both showed helpless and bitter expressions, and at the same time, they still had a trace of doubt in their hearts, how could the government seem to have already guessed that they would attack the government, and actually set up an ambush here, just waiting for themselves to step in?

But the officers and soldiers didn't give them a chance to think more at all, and the voice continued: "I'll count three times, and if I don't kneel on the ground, I'll kill you!" One! ”

When they heard this, their bodies trembled again, and after glancing at each other again, they finally dropped their weapons in resignation, and knelt on the ground in a very humble posture like those minions, and then let the officers and soldiers come forward and bind them.

Only then did they turn their heads to look at the appearance of the soldiers who were doing their hands, and at a glance, the expressions of these heroes changed again: "You guys...... It's a woman......"

This was really too unexpected for them, and the official and military ambushes who set up an ambush at the prefect's yamen today and took them all down with a burst of cold arrows were actually a group of women wearing military uniforms. Although the surrounding light is not too sufficient, and many women are quite strong, but at such a close distance, they can still tell whether the other party is a man or a woman, which makes everyone surprised and a while is not a feeling, how can they never imagine that their self-proclaimed heroes will one day be captured alive by a group of women.

"What about women, women can still catch all of you thieves!" A female soldier glared at the other party very unhappily, and the force that tied him was greater, which made the minion let out a cry of pain, and this provoked a burst of ridicule from the female soldiers: "The so-called manhood is nothing more than that!" ”

It was not until they were all tied up that the female soldiers drove them to a room on the side and took them into custody. It was only at this time that Jiang Jing and the others found out that there was no one else in this yamen now, not even the Huang Governor's Mansion had never shown up, and they didn't know where they were now.

Although there were still fires and smoke rising in the southwest, and there were still screams outside, Jiang Jing already knew that all this was an illusion. Since they have been prepared here in the government office, I am afraid that the granary is also a trap. This thought immediately made his heart chill, and in this way, the results of Zhu Wu and the others were probably no better than their own.

In fact, just as his god predicted, when the battle in the palace was over, the short battle in the granary had also come to an end. Compared with the government office, the battle in the granary was more brutal, and only twenty of the seventy or eighty people who sneaked into the granary were captured alive, and the courtyard behind the entrance of the granary was already full of the corpses of the heroes of Liangshan at this time.

After seeing the door of the granary being opened, Zhu Wu and the others rushed in without the slightest suspicion, and then, a scene similar to that of the government office also happened shortly after they entered, and a rain of arrows suddenly came.

Although at the same time, Zhu Wu had already sensed that the situation was wrong, the two brothers who should have been guarding the door after opening the door disappeared, only two black shadows were lying in front of them. But before he could remind him, the arrows shot in, and those minions didn't have time to react to parry, they had already shot down more than ten people, and then before the torches lit up on the left and right, there were more than 200 officers and soldiers ambushed here.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu hurriedly roared: "Retreat!" We have been tricked ......" but it was too late, and before they could react, another round of arrows came to them, and at the same time, a big man over there shouted: "Since you are here, you can still make it so easy!" He took the lead in pulling out two steel knives and quickly struck them.

Seeing that the officials and soldiers were so fierce, it also inspired the belligerent nature of the people in Liangshan, and with the shouts of Shi Xiu and the Mu family brothers in unison, these dozens of people did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers in the rain of arrows. As a result, a hand-to-hand fight began in the first courtyard of the granary.

The leaders of Liangshan dare to do this, and they still have a lot of confidence in their brothers, because they are all elites carefully selected from the cottage, and all of them are good at martial arts, even if they are not as good as the leaders, they still surpass ordinary officers and soldiers. But it wasn't until they actually fought each other that they realized what a mistake they had made.

The battle between the two armies and the fighting in the rivers and lakes are completely two different things, although they are all fierce and brave, but in the face of the tacit military formation of the Qingzhou army, they still quickly fell into passivity. They are good at fighting alone, and soon find that each of them has to face the encirclement and suppression of several officers and soldiers, and as long as they show a flaw, they will be hit and fall.

And the generals led here are even more superb in martial arts, and they actually blocked Yang Xiong and Shixiu, the two leaders with the highest martial arts, with the strength of one person, so that after only a short time of fighting, half of the minions fell in a pool of blood, and it also allowed the officers and soldiers to divide more manpower to besiege Zhu Wu and others, and completely trapped them in the military formation.

And during this period, the officers and soldiers actually did something that everyone expected, they actually lit a few fires here in the front yard. Soon, the flames rushed up, and thick smoke billowed out, as if the granary had really been set on fire by the people of Liangshan.

At first, everyone was still a little confused, but soon, Zhu Wu understood: "Quickly extinguish the fire, they are trying to deceive the army outside the city, as well as the brothers in the mansion......"

Although he saw through the intentions of the officials and soldiers, the people of Liangshan, who had fallen into an absolute disadvantage at this time, could no longer spare their hands to put out the fire. In this way, on the contrary, it disturbed the hearts of the people, and caused more people to fall under the official saber. In the end, there were only a dozen people left who were still struggling with a few leaders to support themselves, but they were all wounded, and the back roads were cut off by the officers and soldiers, and they were completely turned into turtles in urns and fish in nets.

Zhu Wu and the others couldn't have imagined that what they thought was an exquisite plan had already been broken by the officials and soldiers, and the other party had turned around and laid such a big trap for them. Now, as the battle is coming to an end, this secret battle in Qingzhou City is about to end, and the open battle around the city is about to take a major turn!
