Chapter 17: All Burned
In the darkness of the night, the reeds that covered a large area fell silent, and no other sound could be heard except for the occasional chirping of unknown insects.
At this time, the "town eight directions" had already fallen asleep in a tent with exquisite workmanship, and the rest of the bandit leaders and more than 280 minions had also carved out a reed bush and built dozens of nests, in which groups of three or five fell asleep.
Although the "town eight directions" carefully arranged more than a dozen small minions to stand guard, but at this time, these dozen little minions have already staggered, looking for a suitable place to fall asleep.
After all, in this fish mountain reeds, these fish mountain bandits have been rampant, and no one is worried that they will encounter enemies here.
"Whew! Call! ”
At dawn, a strong wind blew in the huge reeds, blowing the dense reeds to "nod and bow" and sway from side to side.
The bandits who slept in those dens were woken up by the strong wind from time to time, and then they squeezed each other and continued to sleep.
And the "Zhen Bafang" and its five subordinate leaders, who were sleeping comfortably in several tents, did not wake up, unaware of the strong wind blowing in the reeds.
At this moment, there was a sound around the camp of the bandits in Yushan, the reeds around it were constantly "rustling", and black shadows were constantly flashing in the darkness, and they were rapidly approaching the bandit camp.
In the dark, Liu Juntao was lying in the reeds with a long knife in his arms, and Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu were lying on both sides of Liu Juntao. Behind the three of them, more than thirty Yushan Ji Qingzhuang were also lying on the ground, and everyone had sawed spears in their hands.
Around everyone, the remaining fish mountain group is shuttling through the reeds to carry all kinds of fire starters. I saw that all the young men moved slowly, lightly brushed aside the reeds in front of them, gently placed the ignition in their hands in the dry reeds, and then arranged the lead, and then slowly retreated.
After about an hour, there was no movement in the reeds, and all the young people in Yushan had already deployed the ignition and hid themselves in the surrounding reeds.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojun whispered in Liu Juntao's ear: "Big brother, I see it's almost over, let's do it!" ”
Yan Hu next to him also nodded in agreement, eager to light a fire immediately, so as to burn these bandits who killed a thousand knives and avenge his sister.
However, Liu Juntao slowly turned over and lay on the ground, looked at the starry night sky, and whispered: "Don't worry, wait and see." ”
"Big brother! Long nights and dreams! If any of the bandits wakes up and finds out, our plan will be broken! ”
Yan Hu on the side also whispered anxiously: "Yes, big brother, if you don't light the fire now, when will you wait!" ”
"Now there is still a period of time before dawn, once the fire is ignited, the fire will definitely spread quickly, the vision is unclear in the night, and there is a great possibility that our more than 100 brothers will be trapped in the fire because of panic! Wait a little longer, wait until it's almost dawn before lighting the fire! ”
But Zhang Xiaojun frowned and whispered: "But once the bandits discover our whereabouts, then we can only have a scuffle!" We're going to suffer a big loss, and it's even very likely that we'll lose this battle! ”
Looking at Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu's anxious looks, Liu Juntao smiled faintly and said to the two: "Don't worry! You smell it well, the bandit camp is full of alcohol, those bandits must have fallen asleep after being full of wine and food, how can they wake up easily? I can guarantee that these bandits will never wake up until the sun rises! ”
"Big brother! Beware of making the ship of ten thousand years! ”
Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu roared almost in unison.
Liu Juntao saw that the two of them were already impatient, so he could only relax and said, "Okay, let's ignite the fire immediately!" However, it doesn't take so many people to ignite the fire, and waiting for the fire to have more people is a bad thing. In this way, Zhang Xiaojun, you lead everyone to withdraw one after another, just leave ten brothers for me and Yan Hu, you go to the periphery to ambush, and wait until the fire breaks out to kill the bandits who escaped from the sea of fire in the periphery! ”
Zhang Xiaojun nodded, waved his hand behind him, and whispered: "Ten of you stay, and the rest of you retreat in turn, go!" ”
It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaojun to retreat with more than 100 young men and find a suitable place to ambush.
Liu Juntao looked at the bandit camp that was still quiet not far away, and whispered to Yan Hu beside him: "Now, do it!" ”
Yan Hu's eyes were red and he took out the fire fold from his arms, waved his hand behind him, and scattered with the ten young men, crawling in all directions.
At this time, Liu Juntao stared quietly at the bandit camp in front of him, and there was not the slightest nervousness in his heart, but he was very calm.
"Am I really a war fodder?"
Liu Juntao laughed at himself in his heart, at this moment, the originally dark early morning night suddenly exploded, and there were gas fires in all directions, and the scorching air wave spread rapidly, and with the help of the strong wind, it spread wantonly in the reeds like a wild horse.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the fierce fire formed an impenetrable wall of fire, completely surrounding the not small bandit camp!
"Big brother! Let's go! ”
Yan Hu and ten young men who came back from arson ran back in embarrassment, Liu Juntao could see with the help of the firelight that several people's faces and bodies were red and black, obviously when the fire was lit just now, everyone was burned by the fierce fire.
"Run over there!"
At this time, Liu Juntao also shouted, and ran towards the headwind with Yan Hu and the others, so as not to be trapped by the fire.
Yan Hu and the others didn't answer, and hurriedly ran out behind Liu Juntao. Before they had gone far, they heard hellish screams and roars from the flames behind them.
"Ahh
"Help!"
"Who's going to kill me!"
Suddenly, a tall figure rushed out of the sea of fire, knocking out a gap in the tight wall of fire, followed by a dozen more figures.
Although there are still a lot of flames on these people's bodies, they are no longer life-threatening.
I saw that the first person who rushed out took off his clothes that were already full of holes, revealing the tendons and flesh all over his body, it was the leader of the Yushan bandits, "Zhen Bafang", and the rest of the people were the five leaders of the "Zhen Bafang", and the six minions who escaped by luck.
Everyone stared at the fire in front of them, and their hearts were full of resentment.
Obviously they were sleeping well, but suddenly a fire broke out, almost killing more than 200 people, and everyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on, it must have been done by the officers and soldiers of the Yushan Gathering, and the young and strong!
"If you don't slaughter Yushanji, don't kill all those officers and soldiers, my town will not be a man!"
"Zhen Bafang" roared loudly with resentment, and the muscles on his body were tense, like a beast ready to attack, making people dare not look directly.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the cottage first, and slowly look for a chance to take revenge! ”
With that, the "Eight Directions" ran towards the south with the remaining dozen or so men, and ran as fast as they ran on flat ground among the dense reeds, leaving behind the screams of the fire behind them.
But the good times didn't last long, and before the "town eight directions" and others could run far, they suddenly heard dense footsteps in all directions, and the reeds around them were shaking violently, as if fierce beasts would emerge from it at any time.
At this time, the "Town Bafang" and its subordinates can be described as extremely miserable, everyone can be said to be unclothed and unarmed, only the "Town Bafang" has a short knife hanging from his waist, and the rest of the five bandit leaders and six small minions are empty-handed.
Not to mention those fish and mountain gathering young men and soldiers, even a few tidal flat wolves can kill everyone!
"King! What shall we do? ”
For a while, all the bandits looked at the "town of Bafang", but in the face of such a desperate situation, the "town of Bafang" also had no idea.
Suddenly, the reeds in front of the bandits were overwhelmed, and I saw Liu Juntao, Zhang Xiaojun, and Yan Hu leading more than a hundred young people to walk out of the dense reeds, and the spears in everyone's hands were standing up to the sky, as terrifying as a dense jungle.
Seeing that the people in front of the "town eight directions" were all young and strong in Yushanji, not the official army, they were a little reluctant to give up, and wanted to use their former majesty to deter the people in front of them, and escape before the officials and soldiers came.
So, "Town Bafang" said loudly to Liu Juntao and the others: "I am Yushan Dawang Town Bafang!" You have eaten the gall of the leopard, dare to go against Lao Tzu! Now get out of the way for me, or I'll kill you alive!" ”
After that, the "town of Bafang" pulled out the short knife on his waist, and the more than ten bandits around him also showed fierce light, wanting to scare the more than 100 young men in front of him, so as to escape as soon as possible.
But they didn't think about it, Liu Juntao and the others didn't pay attention to the nonsense of "town eight directions" at all, and they were still approaching forward.
"Zhen Bafang" secretly said bad in his heart when he saw it, and felt that things were not so simple.
"I'm still dreaming when I'm dying!"
Liu Juntao said coldly: "We are the Yushan Guard!" We killed the evil dragon and others, and we set the fire in front of us, and you will die at our hands today! ”
As soon as these words came out, "Zhen Bafang" was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had been deceived, there were no officials and soldiers in the Yushan Set, all of them were illusions made up by these young people! Even last night, there were only some old and weak women and children in the Yushan market village!
Yan Hu, who was in Liu Juntao's left hand, was already furious at this time, and the spear in his hand pointed sharply at the "town eight directions", and said fiercely: "Go back!" ”
"Zhen Bafang" pointed his spear and looked back, only to see that the raging fire had burned over, and the heat wave that came to his face was aggressive, which made "Zhen Bafang" and others terrified.
"Go back!"
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaojun and more than 100 young men shouted in unison, as if they had shouted out all the fears and insults imposed on the people of Zhiyushan by the Yushan bandits over the years, and vented them all.
Liu Juntao also took two steps forward, glared at the "town eight directions" and said: "Be stabbed to death by us, or burned to death by fire, you choose for yourself!" ”
Seeing that the life was gone, the ferocity in his heart was completely stimulated by the fear of death, and with a roar, he waved the short knife in his hand and rushed towards Liu Juntao, and the other five bandit leaders and six little minions also rushed up with a scream.
After all, compared to being burned alive by the fire, these bandits are still willing to fight, and maybe they can rush to the fish mountain in front of them to gather young people and seize a way out.
Liu Juntao was not surprised to see this, and shouted: "Raise your gun!" ”
"Kill!"
More than 100 young men roared in unison under the command of Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu, and raised the spears in their hands flat, and countless spears were like impenetrable city walls, stopping the running "Zhen Bafang" and others.
"Ahh
The boss "grass does not grow" and another bandit did not stop, and directly crashed into the spear jungle, and the two of them did not die for a while, but still howled loudly.
Seeing this situation, the "town of Bafang" and the remaining bandits dared to fight hard, and immediately scattered, screaming and fleeing in all directions.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao understood that the battle was over, so he yelled: "Disperse!" Kill me! Not a single one to stay! ”
Before the words fell, Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu rushed forward, and the more than 100 young men also followed, rushing towards the dozen or so Yushan bandits. Where could the fish that slipped through the net such as "Town Bafang" be able to resist, and they were stabbed to death by everyone on the spot.
For a moment, the screams in the flames seemed to be staged again, echoing in the reeds.
