Chapter 15: Get Out
Wang Kun opened his eyes suddenly, and he still didn't fall asleep in the end.
He raised his hand, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then subconsciously looked around, his throat squirmed, let out a hoarse voice, and asked himself, "What time is it?" ”
Naturally, no one answered.
He looked around again, then walked to the small table in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it up, so that there was no trace of sleepiness in his body.
After drinking tea, he turned his head and walked towards the window, leaning against the window, blowing the night breeze, no, maybe it should be more appropriate to be the morning breeze, to make himself more comfortable, when he has insomnia, he has always liked to do this, breathe a few breaths of fresh and cold morning air, and it can be regarded as a respite for his almost rotten body.
He leaned against the window, a cold cup of tea in his hand, and he took a deep breath, breathing slowly, which gave him another feeling of refreshment. He picked up the teacup again, and at the same time looked at the night sky that should have been pitch black, and the next moment, he was suddenly stunned - the sky was no longer dark, but turned a fiery red, it was not the sun rising, but ...... Something, ignited.
Wang Kun's head is running fast, south of the city? Over there...... What's the matter?
Xiapi army camp?!
"Big things are not good!" Wang Kun let out a low exclamation, he casually threw away the teacup, opened the door, and went to open Liu Yichen's door.
......
......
A moment later, everyone in this inn gathered in Wang Kun's room, but Liu Qin and Liu Cheng were sent out and called everyone in the other inn.
There were six or seven burly men in the small room, they were silent, they didn't say a word, they just stared at their feet, they didn't know what they were thinking, Wang Kun, who summoned them, was also silent, there was no electric light in the room, Wang Kun was sitting in the corner, and everyone couldn't see his face clearly.
Finally, Liu Qin and Liu Cheng pushed the door one after another, Liu Cheng stood aside, Liu Qin looked at the people in the room and said, "They're here." ”
Wu Ji, Wen Yu, and a cadre of his subordinates all crowded into this dim room, Wang Kun nodded, and finally stood up, he had a gloomy face, and said coldly, "I can't do it today, I already have a premonition of the current situation, but you persuade me to stay, I think what you said is reasonable, so I stayed, but now, the thieves have attacked the city, I don't know you, but what is the way to get out?" ”
Liu Yichen opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Wang Kun suddenly interrupted them, "Liu Gongzi's thoughts...... It is not necessary to publish, I know what you are going to say, climb the walls? Fighting alongside the defenders of Xiapi? But have you ever wondered how many thieves there are, and what do they want to do now? ”
"I think you all know the situation in the south, it is the camp of the Xiapi army, a full 6,000 people! Six thousand people were stationed there! But now that there is a fire there, the situation is not optimistic, I called everyone to come, just to think of a way to get out safely, and the rest is not important. ”
Wu Ji, as the original deputy general of the city defense, he has his own set of methods for defending the city, he frowned, and suddenly began to analyze the situation for everyone, "In fact, the defense of Xiapi has been done very well, their camp outside the city is only a mile away from the city wall, whether it is attacked on that side, the other side can rush to help, the army of 9,000 people, if it is only estimated by the combat power of 9,000 people, it is a big mistake, if it is a frontal hard attack, at least 30,000 people, but they are a sneak attack at night, if the county guard listens to Wang Da."
People's advice, send part of the defenders of the big camp to the city, then this Pi may be able to last a few more days, if not, when the big camp outside the city is burned to the ground, and the morale of the defenders in the city is polished, then it will not be far from the city broken. ”
The surrounding shouts and killings became clearer and clearer, everyone in the room heard them clearly, their faces were solemn, silent, Wu Ji leaned against the wall, paused, and said, "Since they have sent people to check the garrison of Xiapi in advance, they must have done enough work, and you can know from the shouting and killing sounds around them, they ...... this time It is a siege on all sides, and it seems that we are bound to win against Xiapi, and we want to get out, but when the city is broken, we hide in a hut near the city gate, and when this army of thieves enters the city, we will find another opportunity to rush out of the city. ”
Wang Kun nodded slightly, he turned his head to look at the people around him again, and asked, "What do you think, but do you have any better suggestions?" ”
"The hut hidden near the city gate ......" Wen Yu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Isn't that the most dangerous place?" Those people must inevitably loot when they come in, and isn't the closest to the city gate house the easiest place to be their target? ”
"Yes." Wu Ji nodded without thinking.
"Then why go near the city gates? Doesn't that put us in a dangerous position? This time it was Liu Yichen who spoke.
"Because only there, we have a chance to escape, otherwise when this gang of thieves completely occupies Xiapi, then we will have no chance to escape," Wu Ji suddenly laughed as he spoke, "Besides, it's just a few thieves, don't you ...... Can't deal with it? ”
"It's okay to deal with it, but as soon as we make a move, don't we attract all the thieves nearby?" Wen Yan asked with a frown.
"This, it depends on your acting skills."
......
......
Before the city was broken, Wu Ji finally found a mansion in the north of the city.
The house is not facing the street, you have to walk through an alley of about 34 steps to get to the house, the second floor has a wide view, just enough to see the city gate, and the owner of this house is a father and daughter, just enough to meet their "acting" requirements.
Wu Ji promised to take their father and daughter out of the city after the city was broken, but after leaving the city, they needed to take care of their own life and death, and there were two choices in front of them, either continue to sit and wait in the city, hoping that the gang of thieves would not find their home, or they would gamble in exchange for a chance to survive.
In the end, they chose the latter.
At dawn, this side of the north of the city was first broken, several weak defenders fought and retreated, and finally, all died near the city gate, everyone on the second floor through the gap between the windows, the surrounding situation was clearly observed, only to see the thieves continue to pour into the city, the surging crowd has not been cut off for half a day.
Wu Ji counted silently in his heart, and finally sighed softly, just from the north gate, there were no less than 5,000 thieves who poured into the city, and the total number of defenders in Xiapi City was only 3,000.
After this group of thieves entered the city, they did not directly start their burning and looting, they divided some people to guard the city gates, some people climbed the city wall, taking over the position that originally belonged to the Xiapi defenders, and the other part dispersed and advanced towards the other three city walls, but there were also a small number of people quietly broke away from the team, they did not dare to pick the shops on the street, so they drilled into the alley behind those shops, this two-story building,
It became one of their goals.
Wu Ji observed the surrounding situation, his brain was running rapidly, and he determined his way out of the city in one breath, he observed the situation of the gang of thieves who entered the alley, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, there are almost fifty guards on the other side of the city gate, we must go out of the city, we must enter them, but we must not delay, we must fight quickly, those who cannot be killed, we will not kill, as long as we kill those who may prevent us from leaving the city, otherwise after a long time, we will not be able to leave if we attract thieves from other places." ”
"Did you hear me?" Wu Ji asked again.
Everyone didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and then Wu Ji called a few good hands, and asked them to carry their own weapons and go downstairs with them, and when he went downstairs, he found the father and daughter, and said to the daughter, "Now I have to trouble the girl." ”
The girl's face was pale, and she had obviously not yet recovered from the fright, and she held her father's hand tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "What is the matter?" ”
"Cry," Wu Ji said expressionlessly, "I need you to cry, the louder you cry, the better, it's best to attract all the thieves around you." ”
"What do you mean by that, hero?!" The father's face changed, "Recruit the thieves, what should the little girl do?" Isn't it ......."
Wu Ji smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "You misunderstood, they are too scattered, it will take too much time to kill them one by one, I have already sent our people to ambush nearby, they are responsible for killing those who are not attracted by your daughter's cry, and those who are attracted will be handed over to us." ”
"This ......" the man grimaced, he turned his head, as if to ask his daughter's opinion.
Unexpectedly, the girl raised her head and said resolutely, "Then listen to the hero!" ”
"Thank you girl for your trust," Wu Ji clenched his fist at the girl, and then motioned for the person behind him to ambush him, and then said, "Girl, you can start." ”
There were about twenty thieves who entered this alley, and the girl's cry attracted the attention of most of them, and they licked their dry tongues, and marched in the direction from which the cry came, and fought desperately all night on the battlefield, and now, it was time to find a girl to quench their thirst.
They laughed lewdly, and pushed open the hidden door, focusing only on the crying girl, but not on ...... Why is this door hidden?
A total of twelve people came to this room, and they walked into the room one by one, and when there were only the last two left, the people who Wu Ji had already ambushed suddenly came out of the corner, and the faces of the thieves changed.
In a flash of lightning, the battle was over, but after three or four breaths, the men lay on the ground, no longer moving.
Wu Ji put away his knife, just as the few people who went out to kill those fish that slipped through the net also returned to the house, he looked around and looked upstairs, Wen Yu gestured to him, signaling that he could go, he lowered his head again, and said, "Then everyone, let's go." ”
They pulled out the horses from the yard next door, and since there were no extra horses, the girl and her father rode with Wu Ji and Wen Yu, respectively.
"The Great Age of Genes"
Wu Ji turned over his horse, pulled the girl up, and said to everyone, "Everyone, remember, you must fight quickly and rush through the city gate at full speed!" ”
A moment later, seventeen horsemen, nineteen men, burst out of the alleys near the city walls, cut down all those who stood in their way, and hurried out of the gates, and disappeared into the wilderness.
