Chapter 3 (21) Suppression of Bandits (Part 7)
Shang Cheng jumped off the wall and looked around for a moment. Not far from the right side is a wooden ladder up the wall, the three bandits have climbed the wall, but they have not come up to fight, they are all holding knives and guns and looking at him from less than ten steps, and the temple is dumbfounded like a clay statue; There were also seven or eight bandits on the left, running around the corner of the wall. He rushed over with his knife, and when there was a few noises, the three fellows were forced to step back, and when he was busy, he looked back and saw that Suza had already come up.
Seeing that Su Zha was carrying a knife and was about to go to the right to intercept the bandits, Shang Cheng shouted, "Quickly throw the rope and pull people!" ”。 It was just such a distraction, there was a sound in his ears, as if someone was very close to him pursed his lips and whistled, the voice was urgent and fast, he didn't understand what was going on, he felt that something slammed into his left chest, and in an instant, his eyes were black, and he only felt that his chest was retracted as if he had been hit hard by a hammer, and the air in his lungs was almost squeezed out, and his heart almost stopped beating, and then he felt a sharp pain spread from his left chest to his whole body, and instantly there was a shocking paralysis from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, Stiff fingers barely grasped the hilt...... He staggered back two steps, scratched the wall twice with one hand, but failed to stabilize his body, and finally fell to the ground. The three bandits had already surrounded him when they saw the opportunity, and they were aiming at him with spears and knives. He closed his mouth tightly and didn't dare to exhale pain, holding his breath and desperately swinging his knife to resist one by one, but where could he block it, and he was hit four or five times on his body in the blink of an eye, fortunately, it was not the important places such as head, face, chest and abdomen.
At this time, Qian Laosan had already gone to the wall, and another border soldier was also dragged onto the wall by Su Za. Seeing that Shang Cheng's situation was extremely critical, the two of them didn't care to intercept the few bandits who came around the wall on the left, and they all rushed over to rescue him. Swords and guns sparked everywhere, Ding Dang ping-pong sounded a few times, Qian Laosan hissed and roared sharply, a bandit couldn't retreat, and he cut out a long bloody mouth from his shoulder to the crotch and fell to the ground, the red meat rolled and the blood burst out, and the people howled miserably. The other two bandits moved a little slowly under the stunned, one was rolled off the wall by Qian Laosan in the chest and abdomen, and the other was cut off by the border soldiers, and then the knife resulted in death.
Before Shang Cheng could get up, he pointed at Qian Laosan's back and shouted: "Intercept them!" ”
At this time, the bandits who came from the Zhaimen reinforcements had arrived, and a leader-like guy shouted command in his mouth, divided two people to go up to besiege Suza, and killed five people with a straight knife. Suza held the rope in one arm and danced the waist knife in the other, and in an instant, he was in danger, but he fought to the death and did not retreat, and he did not let go of the rope. Another border soldier also got up by the rope, one leg just hit the wall, the chest was pierced by the bandits, the dark face was crumpled into a ball, spit out the waist knife in his mouth and clenched the spear shaft with both hands, and his body shook twice, not only did not plant, but he climbed the wall with the strength of the bandit's spear, kicked his foot on the wall, and pounced on the two bandits, one arm grabbed one, and the three fell together. The two bandits managed to shake off his body, and just as they tried to struggle to get up, they were slashed by a stone that came up later......
Here Shang Cheng had already stood up, stretched out his hand and grabbed the crossbow arrow shaft inserted in his chest, snorted and pulled it out, without even looking at it, he threw his hand away, reached out and picked up a knife on the ground, and grabbed a bandit's hair bun from behind in the past and pulled the bandit's head one by one, the bandit raised the knife and wiped it on his neck, and a stream of bloody arrows flew up a few feet high, falling to the ground, and his hands and feet were still shaking. He was tall, long, long, and big, and he took a step sideways and cut a bandit to the ground, and then took another step and pulled another bandit, and he also pulled the knife on his neck with his hair in a bun, and the bandit knelt on the ground with straight eyes and weak feet, and his hands desperately covered his bloody throat, and his mouth gurgled. The bandit leader saw that Shang Cheng killed three people in three steps, his eyes were round and hideous, and he screamed strangely in his mouth, leaving Qian Laosan behind, holding a straight knife and running to Shang Cheng. He only ran two steps, he felt that the vest was cold and hot, and he knew that he had taught the opponent to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and he jumped to the side to escape from Qian Laosan's pursuit, but was cut to the ground by the border soldier next to him. The remaining two bandits were so frightened that they dared to resist, shouted in their mouths, turned around and jumped off the wall.
Although the time of the back and forth fighting on the wall was short, the scene was extremely intense, and the bandits above and below the wall could see it clearly, and they saw that the border army that came up was only three or five people, but they killed more than ten companions one after another, and their hearts were all frightened. Although the border soldiers and townsmen who formed a formation outside the crossbow outside the stockade could not see the battle situation clearly, they could see clearly that their own side was gaining momentum, and everyone was in blood. Sun Zhongshan slashed his waist knife in mid-air, and roared loudly: "Kill!" Jin Xi and one hundred and ten soldiers followed him and shouted "kill one by one", and rushed over to the gate of the village.
Shang Cheng led five people along the wall to the gate of the village, and encountered a group of bandits who came to intercept him halfway, and they did not pause for two times, and they collided head-on. The bandits were numerous, there were more than 20 people, but the side road at the head of the wall was narrow, and at most four people could be accommodated side by side, and they were emboldened by the ferocity of several border troops, and they were a little timid in fear. Shang Cheng's side is different. He has now replaced himself with a straight knife, a three-foot blade and a four-foot blade, and the horizontal stroke is almost as wide and narrow as the sidewalk, and the left and right swings are even more immediate, and the back and forth is a blood-splashed passage. He was the first to go straight with his sword, and if the bandits didn't want to fall to the ground in a different place, they could only roll and retreat. He is protected by Baokan stones, so he doesn't have to worry about the side at all when he advances, and occasionally some bandits can escape the straight blades of the two sides, and they can't dodge the waist knives of the two. Even if the bandit didn't die in his freshman year, he rolled by the wall to beg for mercy, and Qian Laosan and the border soldier who followed behind were also murderous gods who didn't blink an eye, and they would never show mercy to their subordinates, whether they were dead or alive, they were all stabbed in the chest and neck. Suza didn't know where to pick up a bow, and he still had a quiver on his back, and after walking a few steps, he stopped, and took the bow and arrow to shoot at the bandit with the bow and crossbow in his hand, and in the blink of an eye he shot down three or four.
Seeing that the border troops outside the wall were getting closer and closer, a guy in a brocade robe on the gate of the wall shouted one after another: "Intercept!" Go up and intercept it! Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
But at this time, the bandits had already been frightened by the bloody sidewalks paved with dozens of steps at the head of the wall, and as the straight knife rose and fell and rolled forward, the blood splashed and hissed endlessly, and everyone's throat was dry and trembling, who would listen to his command. In front of the village, in the sound of a sabre and axe breaking through the gate of the village, someone suddenly shouted, "Everyone flee for your life!" The bandits were like a flock of birds suddenly awakened in the morning bell and twilight drums, scrambling to jump off the wall of the village and rush towards the village.
People's hearts are in turmoil, and it is useless for the people in brocade robes to jump to their feet and scold and beg for silver and make wishes. He turned around and looked at Shang Cheng with a fierce glint in his eyes, and now he wanted to eat this border officer who had ruined his hard work again. Several bandits guarded him with knives and guns, and two loyal "old brothers" held his arm, and when he was trying to find his way down the wall, Suza, who had been unable to lead the way, finally found an opportunity, raised his right hand, only to hear the bowstring humming, and a feathered arrow pierced into the right eye socket of the brocade-robed man. The brocade-robed man kicked his legs and feet on the ground, and immediately collapsed like a punctured buffalo leather pouch.
After all, the gate of Dujiadian is not the city gate of the state and county, even if it is rectified by the bandits, it cannot withstand the sword and axe of the border army, and in the blink of an eye, it is a sparse mess, and one hundred and ten soldiers shouted in unison, and they have poured in. Sun Zhongshan stood in the open space in the gate with a knife in his hand, and issued a series of orders one after another:
"Pass the order, those who abandon weapons among the bandits will not be killed, and those who surrender will not die!"
"Golden Whistle, you take the Sanshi people to play that flag!"
"Liu Defu, you take the two popular walls to block the village, don't let a bandit escape!"
"Wan Seventeen, you lead the villagers to search from house to house!"
“……”
After giving the order, Sun Zhongshan turned around and looked up at Shang Cheng who was sitting on the wall with a face full of respect, raised his arm to his chest and gave a clean military salute, put down his hand and said loudly: "Your Excellency, ,......"
Shang Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth and waved his hand: "You are very well arranged, just do what you say." He stroked the wound of the crossbow arrow on his chest, thought for a while, and said: "Take out more manpower to search the periphery, catch the fleeing bandits, and die on the spot, without escorting them back." Find a few rooms that do not leak wind and rain, prepare charcoal and hot water for food, and find a few more people to pick up all the wounded in the back. "When he says a word, Sun Zhongshan answers." The wound should be cleaned with cold boiled water before being medicated, and the raw cloth wrapped in the wound must be boiled in boiling water before it can be used, and the used raw cloth should be boiled for an extra quarter of an hour. The brothers who died in the war must be brought in and resettled, their names will be registered one by one, they will be buried with solemn ceremonies, and they will be honored for their ......."
"Yes! Obey orders! ”
Sun Zhongshan agreed, and Guan Xuan, who was taking care of the wounded in the back, had already come over, standing under the wall and taking a deep look, and going up to the wall was deeply moved, and said respectfully: "The adults are mighty, but the villains are unheard of." Listening to Captain Sun talk about the great achievements of adults in Yi County, it has been deeply emotional and impressive, and today I was able to witness the wisdom and courage of my lords, which is admirable and unacceptable. Even if the overlord of Western Chu is resurrected, and Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms is reborn, it is nothing more than that. ”
Shang Cheng has been accustomed to all kinds of praise and admiration since he became famous for killing wolves, and after he became the captain of Guide and awarded two acres of Xuntian, all kinds of sycophantic sycophants are even more cocooned in both ears, and he has long been not taken seriously, but it is the first time that he has been compared to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms. Although he knew in his heart that Guan Xuan's exaggeration was just a pat on his ass, but these words were really listening, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and when Guan Xuan finished speaking, he shook his head with a smile and said: "Lao Guan, I have always thought that you are heroic and straightforward, and you never tell lies, how can you learn to be sycophant?" Bi Xiang Yu, Bi Lu Bu...... It's been an exaggeration, it's been an exaggeration. ”
"My lord misunderstood, I'm not talking about it. Although Dujiadian is a small village, although there are not many bandits, it is also an old nest of bandits who have been operating for many years, and the precautions are strict and the barriers are tight. If it weren't for the great man's bravery, how could he have this complete victory? Therefore, Xiang Yuzhi is more than an adult, and he loses in dullness, and Lu Buzhi is shorter than an adult, and he is reckless......"
Shang Cheng raised his head and laughed, laughed a few times and covered the wound on his chest to breathe for cool air, patted the rammed earth of the sidewalk beside him and said, "Lao Guan, you are not a sycophant, so what is a sycophant?" You are also a person who has been tired for a few days, come, come and sit with me for a while, and we will talk. ”
"At the end of the villain's career, he doesn't dare to lead the wrong love of adults." Guan Xuan said humbly. In a blink of an eye, his face turned gloomy again, "Several uncles and brothers of the villain, and many relatives in the closed family, all died here...... There are also the You family brothers...... "wiped their tears as they spoke."
Shang Cheng was also a little depressed, pursed his lips and stared at the Dujia shop, which was only twenty or thirty small courtyards, before he said for a long time: "Their blood will not be shed in vain. I want to make their deaths worthwhile, and I want to give them credit; I also want to engrave a stone monument here, to record everything that happened today, so that those who come after me will always remember what they did here. ”
