Volume 1: When the Wind Rises Chapter 172: Raid on the Manor (5)
He Tianlei, deputy of Jinyi Wei, squatted in the grass at the back door of Lujiazhuang with a calm face, and not long after separating from Liu Ximing and others, there were bursts of explosions and banging musket shots at the main gate of Lujiazhuang.
The whole manor seemed to wake up from a sudden sleep, and immediately changed from silence to boiling sky, and countless figures began to run around the village.
After waiting for a while, the shouts and noises gradually gathered at the front door, but the back door slowly fell silent, He Tianlei has done these jobs for many years, and knows that the more this is the case, the more likely it is that the thief will escape alone.
"Coo", "Coo", seeing He Tianlei's signal, several brocade guards beside him immediately imitated the birds and called the code, and the hundred or so brocade guards quickly wound their bows and crossbows and stared at the back door intently.
"Squeak"
"Rush"
Suddenly, the back door of Lujiazhuang was opened all of a sudden, and hundreds of ghosts rushed out of the door screaming.
He Tianlei saw that none of the people who rushed out had no torches to illuminate, and knew that the thieves should have guessed their own deployment, so he hurriedly shouted: "Look at it and shoot again, there are still people behind." ”
The Jinyi guards were also very well prepared, they were holding small repeaters with five arrows preloaded at a time, and when they heard He Tianlei's shout, many people only shot two rounds and stopped.
However, the effect had been achieved, and more than a hundred strong arrows were given a head-on blow to the group that rushed out, and the groans of the back door continued to sound, and some of the uninjured disciples rushed into the darkness with their big knives with their teeth and claws.
At this time, Li Feng and the others also saw the situation outside clearly behind the door, and Mr. Wang shouted: "Quick, while they haven't slowed down, continue to rush, and all rush out." ”
Li Feng's group of cronies and the guards brought by Wang and Yang were behind the team to supervise the battle, and when they heard this, they immediately drew their knives and drove the crowd in front of them to rush out of the door, and the four hundred or so people all ran out at once.
He Tianlei's Jinyi guards had just finished cleaning up the first batch of people who rushed up, and when they looked up, more bandits poured out of the Zhuangzi, and a group of Jinyi guards hurriedly pressed forward while shooting, blocking the enemy in the back door area.
After He Tianlei finished firing five rounds of arrows, he did not hesitate to throw the repeater aside, drew his knife and pounced on the crowd, and the two sides fell into a melee at once.
Although there are not many Jinyi Guards, they are all elite warriors, and with five rounds of shooting in a row, the Yuan Sect's side is also seriously injured.
Although there are guards brought by Wang and Yang to help, but the Jinyi Guard's tactics are powerful, as soon as he saw that the Yuan Sect had a large number of people, He Tianlei immediately led his men to suppress it near the back door, and the Yuan Sect had a numerical advantage on the side, but there was no way to play it, so it could only be pressed and beaten, and the situation on the battlefield gradually turned to the side of the Jin Yi Guard.
He Tianlei was very skilled, and he dodged a knife diagonally to the left.
The left hand then slashed the man who had slashed him to the ground, and a gap suddenly appeared in front of him.
He Tianlei took this opportunity to glance at it, and when he saw that the scene had been controlled, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and he was about to rush into the enemy formation again to fight.
However, at this moment, a large group of disciples with torches suddenly appeared in the rear of the Shuyuan Sect, and it turned out that Zhou Chen's department, who had been defeated by the Long Xiang Regiment, ran over, and the pressure on Zijin Yiwei increased greatly.
The new rout rushed to the back door regardless of it, crowding the entire crowd to move outward, and the Jinyi guard's originally suppressed position suddenly began to loosen.
He Tianlei was in a hurry, and shouted at his subordinates with an anxious face: "Quick, blow the horn." ”
Woo ~ woo ~ woo
A low and vigorous sound of the horn sounded, and it instantly spread throughout the manor.
Liu Ximing just walked out of the secret room of the Yuan Sect with great ambition, and with the harvest in the secret room, this trip was not in vain. , suddenly everyone in the yard heard the sound of conch coming from the backyard.
"Jinyiwei can't bear it", Liu Ximing shouted in a lost voice, and then said a little angrily: "Damn, isn't one or two very capable, dragging it like two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand, and even a group of deserters can't stop it." ”
Mu Jingnan hurriedly asked, "Second brother, should we go and save it?" ”
"Go, why don't you go, if you really let people run away, Liu Yushi won't be able to explain there."
Liu Ximing spat out a mouthful of saliva and said.
Li Biao leaned up and looked at Zhou Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded at Liu Ximing and motioned to this person what to do.
"Let's go, hurry up and lead the way to the back door, catch the bandit leader and give you a great credit, and then the court may reward you for being an official."
Liu Ximing thought that he still needed someone to lead the way, so he fooled Zhou Chen, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen's eyes to light up, and he nodded busily.
"Quick, whole team", the courtyard became lively again, and the Long Xiang regiment quickly completed the assembly and rushed towards the back door under the leadership of Zhou Chen.
A group of people walked to the place where they could see the back door, Liu Ximing looked at Zhou Chen's back and smiled sinisterly, if Jin Yiwei knew that he had swept away Zhuangzi, he didn't know what he would do, he made a throat cut at Li Biao while running.
Li Biao suddenly understood, ran behind Zhou Chen expressionlessly, and suddenly hugged his head, and before he could struggle, he slashed the knife from his neck with a "tearing" sound.
"Goo, goo", Zhou Chen turned around in disbelief, he wanted to say something, but in the end he only made a gurgling sound, and fell to the ground in a few moments, blood flowing out from under his corpse.
The Long Xiang group didn't stop, and went straight over Zhou Chen's corpse and continued to walk forward.
When I got to the back door, I saw that most of the Harvest Yuan Sect disciples had run out of the door, but
There were still a small number of people squeezing out of the door, and Liu Ximing breathed a sigh of relief suddenly, seeing that the brocade guard should not have been washed away.
"The first song, shoot in turn", Shao Derong's department was already running in the front, and the soldiers in the front row immediately raised their guns and fired, and immediately dodged sideways after shooting, leaving a gap for the people behind.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The sound of the Long Xiang Tuan running just now had already alarmed the group of people who were still squeezing out, but except for a few clever people on the periphery who ran away when they saw the opportunity, the others were killed from behind by the Long Xiang Tuan before they could react.
Hearing the gunshots, the Collectors became even more confused, and hundreds of people desperately tried to squeeze out at once, and the pressure on the Jinyi Guard increased greatly.
"You must resist, let's come", He Tianlei kept shouting angrily, while holding down the long knife stabbed from the opposite side, he resisted the person in front of him with a flushed face, and the green tendons on his neck came out.
However, at the moment of life and death, the potential of the people of the Yuan Sect was all forced out, after all, there were few Jinyi Guards, and with a "boom", their formation was torn apart, and the flow of people swarmed out of this place.
"Long Xiang Regiment, pursuit!"
Liu Ximing was also a little panicked when he saw this scene in the back, although the back door siege was the work of Jinyiwei, but if he let the thief run away, he would not be able to explain it, and in a hurry, he could only continue to drive the Long Xiang group to chase and kill.
"Go this way", Li Feng and the others were caught in the center of the crowd just now, and they were almost squeezed into meatloaf, and they ran out of the encirclement at this time, and he couldn't take care of Wang and Yang, so he wanted to run out first with a few cronies.
The Long Xiang group had already chased after him at this time, Liu Ximing stared, only to see a guy in a brocade robe in the crowd who was about to run out, knowing that this should be a leader or something, he immediately pointed in the direction of these people, and shouted at the soldiers with bullets: "Shoot over there."
"Bang"
It really deserves Li Feng's bad luck, I don't know who shot a shot, it actually shot him straight from behind, killing him at once, and his personal guards saw this situation, and the ghost screamed and spread his legs and ran.
Liu Ximing took advantage of the glimmer to see the brocade-robed man fall, and turned his head and commanded the Long Xiang Regiment to pursue the others.
However, he didn't notice that in another corner, a man in black hid in the darkness and quietly glanced at him, and then turned around and disappeared into the darkness with a dozen other men in black.
The Long Xiang regiment had been running a distance of one or two hundred steps before stopping, and now it was dark all around, and everyone ran in a hurry without bringing torches, and if they caught up again, they were afraid that they would be easily ambushed.
According to Article 12 of the "Operational Regulations" of the Long Xiang Regiment, "In the pursuit of late nights, you should put your own protection first, and you must not venture into an unknown area without exploration", and the officers of the team began to gather their men one after another, and slowly retreated back to Lujiazhuang.
