Chapter Seventy-One: Breaking the Door
Lin Fan and they met Zhu Laosi and his party on the middle of the road, and at that time, they sneakily went to the direction of Yanhuan Mountain, each holding a weapon in their hands, with a face full of meat, and they were not good people at first glance.
Zhu Laosi and they happened to meet everyone in the Inspection Department on the road, and when they saw so many soldiers and horses, their faces changed greatly, and their first reaction was to turn around and run.
Lin Fan originally saw that they were suspicious, and wanted to take them down and ask them. Waiting for Zhu Laosi and them to run, it is undoubtedly tantamount to not recruiting themselves, where will Lin Fan be polite.
After asking his subordinates to shout for them to stop, to no avail, he saw that they were about to flee away.
Lin Fan and An Ning no longer hesitated, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at those thieves.
The sound of the bowstring vibrating, and the few people who were left behind in the thieves were shot one after another and fell to the ground.
Seeing his companions fall one by one, he was left alone.
Zhu Laosi was shocked and confused, he glanced back, not far behind him, the officers and soldiers had already chased after him on horseback, and the bows and arrows in their hands had even been aimed at him.
Zhu Laosi didn't dare to run anymore, and made what he thought was the wisest choice at the moment, throwing away the knife in his hand cleanly and surrendering on his knees.
Lin Fan asked them all to be tied up, and those who didn't die were pulled to treat their injuries.
He drove his horse to Zhu Laosi and looked down at him. "Who are you? Why do you run away when you see us? ”
Zhu Laosi replied tremblingly: "Master Huijun, the little ones are hunters in the mountains, and they come up to the mountains to hunt. Seeing the murderous spirit of the military masters, I thought that there was going to be a war, and I was very scared, so I wanted to run away, and begged the military master to let us go! ”
Lin Fan rode on his horse and looked at him with interest, "You said you are the hunters in this mountain?" ”
Zhu Laosi nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The little ones are good people! ”
Lin Fan smiled dumbly, did this person fool himself as a fool?
"You say you're hunters, but you don't even have a hunting bow or sharpened wooden spear, and you have long knives in your hands.
"And this mountain is rampant with bandits, and it has long been occupied by bandits, and the hunters here are either thieves, or killed or driven away, and they are no longer here. Where did you come from? Tell me, who are you, who dare to deceive your own officials, and who sent you? ”
Lin Fan's words sounded very gentle, and he didn't look domineering at all.
But these words became more and more fierce in Zhu Laosi's ears, and in the end, they already exuded an awe-inspiring murderous aura.
Maybe it's because Lin Fan's methods are too gentle, although Zhu Laosi is very scared, he is still hard-mouthed, and he has no intention of confessing, just keeps kowtowing and begging for mercy!
"The military master clearly checks, where will I have the courage of a leopard to dare to deceive the military master! What I said is true, I really don't dare to have half a lie! ”
Seeing that Zhu Laosi was still holding on here, An Ning repeated his old tricks, stepped forward and said: "My lord, it is too delayed to interrogate them, since this person is so dishonest, just kill it!" Anyway, there are still living mouths, whoever doesn't say it will kill them, I don't believe they have such hard mouths! ”
Lin Fan nodded and said, "It's okay, we still have to hurry, since we can't ask, we don't have to waste time here, then let's kill it!"
Zhu Laosi saw that someone really stepped forward and pulled his arm, and kept dragging him to the side of the road. And someone there had already drawn a knife and was waiting for him, and it seemed that he was really going to kill him.
He was really scared to pee this time, he himself was not a good man and a woman, and he did a lot of evil things after going up the mountain. But this time he encountered something more ruthless, and he could only admit it!
These people are the ones who don't take other people's lives seriously. But the more bad things are done, the more afraid of death becomes, and the more precious they are to their own lives.
He hurriedly shouted at Lin Fan: "My lord, spare your life!" I say, I say it all! ”
Lin Fan and An Ning looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that this trick still worked to deal with these villains who licked blood from the knife edge. Lin Fan waved his hand, and the soldiers pulled Zhu Laosi back.
He smiled and asked, "Tell me, what the hell are you doing?"
"The little one is a small leader of the Black Forest Ridge bandits, who was ordered by the big boss to take his brothers to Yanhuan Mountain to inquire about the situation!" Zhu Laosi poured beans from the bamboo tube and generally said everything he knew, and even said how many people came to Heilinling, who was in charge of what.
Zhu Laosi and the others were really unlucky, and they were ordered to come out to find out the news. But before he could reach the place, he ran into Lin Fan and his party, not to mention that the matter was not done, and they were all dead and wounded, and even Zhu Laosi himself fell into the hands of the officials and soldiers.
Lin Fan looked back at the black smoke behind him, it was no longer as thick as it was at the beginning, and it seemed to be almost burning.
He smiled at An Ning and said, "I didn't expect this fire of Brother Wang Hu to really give us an unexpected gain!"
Then he and An Ning decided on this strategy, ready to take the Black Forest Ridge by surprise with the fastest speed and the smallest casualties.
Listening to the movement from the cottage, Lin Fan and the others, who were crawling forward on the ground, knew that the plan had failed, and An Ning and they were recognized by the bandits inside.
But this is also expected, they didn't plan to rely on this to make the thieves obediently open the door of the village, they just wanted to use Zhu Laosi to attract the attention of the bandits, so that others could get closer to the cottage.
Sure enough, the attention of the thieves was diverted by Zhu Laosi and them, and even the hundreds of people had secretly approached the village less than 200 steps away.
Now that they have been discovered, Ma Sanjin will definitely find a way to solve them, and the thieves will not let them swagger and destroy the gate under their noses. If the time is delayed for a long time, they will definitely be in danger.
Time is pressing, and they need to support Anning them, so everyone simply doesn't hide anymore.
Lin Fan jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the cottage is already close at hand, follow me and take them down!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed out first.
The main general was brave, and the others were also deeply encouraged, got up and formed a formation, and killed the Black Forest Cottage.
Ma Sanjin had just sent someone down to stop An Ning and them, but the official army suddenly came out, and he and the bandits in the stockade were stunned all of a sudden, and they didn't know where so many people suddenly appeared.
Before they could react, a rain of arrows flew over, and more than a dozen bandits were nailed into hedgehogs on the spot, and they could not die again.
A salvo eliminated nearly a quarter of the bandits, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and the rest of the bandits were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, and hurriedly crawled to find a place to hide.
Ma Sanjin was so anxious that he yelled, as the primary target of the official army, almost half of the arrows were aimed at him.
However, he reacted quickly and hid as soon as he heard the shouts of killing, so he was lucky to survive.
He wanted to organize a rebellion, but the officers and troops had already approached within a hundred paces without their knowledge, and the terrain advantage in the cottage was almost lost.
And the outside originally laid a lot of traps in order to delay the attack of the official army, and at this time they all couldn't play a role.
In addition, the brothers in the cottage responded to the battle in a hurry, and they suffered heavy losses at the first time.
In the face of the fierce offensive of the official army, there was no time to deal with it in the cottage, and he was helpless now.
The archers suppressed the bandits above the wall, and Lin Fan and they were able to quickly advance under the wall.
After meeting with An Ning and them, everyone found that the gate had been almost destroyed, and An Ning and they were fighting with the bandits who came to intercept them through the fence.
Because of Anning, for the sake of safety, they did not carry spears, bows, crossbows and other weapons, and suffered a little loss in hand-to-hand combat.
A bandit who was secretly hiding under the door suddenly appeared and stabbed them outside with a spear, and a soldier could not dodge, he was stabbed in the waist by the bandit, and fell to the ground clutching his abdomen and wailing.
At the moment, except for An Ning, who is still in good condition, everyone else has suffered injuries ranging from mild to severe.
Seeing this, several long players stood out from the formation and protected them behind them, while others covered them and retreated behind the formation.
After withdrawing the wounded soldiers, everyone under the gate of the fortress used their strength in unison, and slammed the place that had just been destroyed by Anning with a shield covered with a layer of iron.
This was repeated several times, only a "click" was heard, and the already overwhelmed gate of the village broke along the scar just now.
Lin Fan stepped forward and kicked the broken wood completely, forming a hole for one person to pass through.
He took a light rattan card from one person's hand, smiled at everyone, and rushed in first.
The gate of the fortress was destroyed, and the bandits knew that the officials and soldiers would inevitably break through from here, so they all surrounded them, and they were already waiting for the officials and soldiers to come in front of this hole.
Lin Fan had just shown his head, and a steel knife slashed straight from the top of his head.
This is a wide-backed ghost-headed knife, the knife is cold and fierce, if it is slashed, it can cut his entire head in half like cutting tofu.
This knife is too fierce, and the official knife in Lin Fan's hand alone can't stop it at all, not to mention that there are other bandits eyeing him behind, and all kinds of weapons are beckoning him.
He could only look at the void, first a roll, avoiding its edge, dodging the blade that was slashing from above.
Then several spears stabbed into his chest flashed sideways, and he used a rattan card to block the spear body in front of his chest.
Lin Fan quickly took a few steps forward with his body against the spear, exerted force with his right hand, and the official knife in his hand directly stabbed into the abdomen of a spear-wielding thief, and then stirred it hard, stirring his intestines.
The thief seemed to have been drained of all his strength at once, and his body immediately softened.
As soon as a thief was eliminated, there were already several steel knives flashing with cold light, all coming towards Lin Fan's back.
At this time, it was too late for Lin Fan to reflexively block, he could only lean forward on his knees, and his body took a few steps forward with the help of his strength, so as to open up some distance, and he could also unload a little bit of the bandits' strength by the way.
At the same time, he threw back the shield in his hand to distract the bandits, and pulled the corpse of the spear bandit in front of him, turned around, and reversed the order with him.
"Poof, poof!" It was the sound of weapons entering the flesh, and the knives were thrown together, and the corpse of the bandit in front of Lin Fan was almost divided by his companions.
Lin Fan no longer cared about the corpse, snatched the spear in the hand of the bandit's corpse, took a few steps back again, and came face to face with the bandits, so that he could be considered to have a chance to take a breath.
After losing the knife, the thief with the ghost head knife was unwilling, and roared like crazy and stepped forward again, killing Lin Fan.
This man looked extremely fierce, his face was full of evil anger, and the people in the cottage remembered what this guy had done before, and even the bandits had numb scalps and moved away from him a little
There are not many people who use the ghost head knife, most of them are used by the executioner when the court executes the prisoner, in order to be able to cut off the head of the prisoner at one time, the ghost head knife is generally heavier. This kind of knife is powerful and heavy, and it is easy to cut off people's heads.
However, it is precisely because this knife is too heavy that ordinary people are not very flexible to use, and it is difficult to have a second chance if they can't strike a blow in a fight with others.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many bandits, so Lin Fan had no way to fight back, this bandit would have died under Lin Fan's knife just now.
This thief's name is Guo Mazi, a horizontal meat, inherited the ancestral business when he was young and became an executioner.
With this ghost-headed knife, I don't know how many people's heads were chopped.
Because his wife thinks he has no ability, and thinks that he has too much yin qi on his body, he has a deep ghost spirit all day long, and he is unwilling to live with him, and he makes trouble all day long.
Later, when the reconciliation failed, she committed adultery with a blacksmith. After he learned about it, he simply killed the two of them at night, cut off their heads and went up the mountain overnight to join the gang.
Maybe it's because of the relationship that has killed too many people, and then there have been changes, Guo Mazi has a bad temper, and he always looks like he is not close to people.
He didn't have any friends, and he was full of evil energy, and ordinary people couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs when they glared at him fiercely.
If that person is more timid, he can't wait to find a place where no one is around, touch his neck, and see if his head is still there.
So even after he went up the mountain to join the gang, very few of the wicked people in this mountain were willing to provoke him.
It's just that although he has enough strength, he can slash, and if he wants to use the ghost head knife to the extent that he is like an arm swinging his fingers, he is still a little less hot.
In Lin Fan's opinion, this thief is not difficult to deal with, his knife skills are rigid, and there are many flaws in his body skills.
What is difficult to deal with is actually the people around him who are covering him. And now they have distanced themselves from him, which is undoubtedly giving Lin Fan a chance.
The bandits didn't leave Lin Fan too much respite, and they had already rushed up in the blink of an eye.
Lin Fan put the knife back into its sheath, looked down at the spear in his hand again, and smiled bitterly, wondering if this simple homemade weapon could withstand the next fight.
He grabbed the spear with both hands and swung it, and the spear appeared slightly.
Lin Fan lunged forward, dodging the oncoming blow before plunging his spear into the belly of one of the bandits.
Then, with a spear as a stick, he swept out and struck the two knife-wielding thieves in the chests on the left and right, knocking them to the ground.
At this time, the thief with the ghost head knife had also come to Lin Fan and cut it down head-on.
