Chapter 17 Defending the House

Zeng Yu saw that they had all arrived, and said directly to a few people: "If my guess is correct, Liu Li is planning to defect from Woniu Cottage, as for the reason is not yet known, but according to Xiao Li's report just now, he brought people to come to us, presumably he will not come to say goodbye to me, so you should also guess his purpose." I heard from the big boss that Liu Li has always been eager to revenge, and last time he was defeated by Ziwu in the ring, Lizi lost face, and now he must be ambitious, and they have led Zhu Wen away at noon. If we go out of the house now, without shelter, it will definitely be more dangerous, so we can only wait for reinforcements from the big boss. However, in the period before the arrival of the big boss, we still need to hold on to this house. Once defeated by the enemy, they are far outnumbered by us, and they are all outlaws, and we will definitely not survive. ”

After listening to Zeng Yu's words, the surprise of several guards who saw Zeng Yu holding the bow disappeared at once, and at this time their brains were full of horror, after all, if they were not careful, their heads would fall to the ground.

Zeng Yu made arrangements for several people to ensure that they could delay for as long as possible. The house where Zeng Yu lived was located in a corner of the cottage, which was originally the camp of Wang Qing's 100-man team. Zeng Yu's house is in the middle of the camp, and it is the same room as Wang Qing. The left and right sides lived Qin Fen and others respectively, of which Zhu Wen and Xiang Zhi lived, Qin Fen and Gude lived on the left, and the three Wu brothers lived on the right. Because Wang Qing took people to Jinniu Village, most of the houses here were empty, Zeng Yu concentrated everyone in his own house, and then locked the doors and windows of the house next to Qin Fen and others, so that the opposite side could only attack from the front of their house. Then he turned off the lights and quietly waited for Liu Li and their arrival.

At this time, Liu Li saw that he was getting closer and closer to Zeng Yu's residence, and thought that he could take revenge immediately, so he was naturally very excited, and he couldn't wait to rush over immediately.

However, Liu Li knew that Zeng Yu had other people around him to protect him, and he couldn't risk his life.

"A few of you, touch it and see if Zeng Yu is in the house."

Liu Li and the others had already come to the outside of Zeng Yu's house, and saw that the lights in Zeng Yu's house had been turned off, and the person who protected Zeng Yu did not see the figure, so they were a little puzzled, so they instructed a few people behind them.

When several soldiers behind him heard Zeng Yu's order, they bent their waists and walked over gently with knives. They came to the wall, quietly pushed the window open, looked inside, only to see that the room was dark, nothing could be seen, came to the door, opened the door, and was raising his feet to go in, when suddenly a knife flashed, and before his feet were put down, he covered his neck and fell.

When the people behind him saw this, they hurriedly retreated and shouted: "There is an ambush~There is an ambush~"

It turned out that the one who had just killed someone in the house was one of Zeng Yu's guards who was ambushed in the house. They were inside the house, and because of the torches and moonlight outside, they could be seen very clearly, so when the other party entered the door, they killed him with a single sword.

Liu Li, who was watching from a distance, heard the shouts of his subordinates and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation, is it Zeng Yu?" ”

"Centurion, I don't know, before we could see it clearly, Lao Zhang was killed."

"Zeng Yu, I know you're inside, you've been surrounded by us, come out and surrender, I can spare your life." Liu Li heard the voices of his subordinates, so he shouted directly to them.

"Liu Li, you take advantage of the absence of the cottage people to make trouble, and you still want me to surrender, dream. I think it should be you who surrenders, and when the big bosses come over, it will be too late if you want to surrender. ”

"Innocent, are you waiting for Zhou Cang, I don't think he should come over. Come out and see who I have in my hands. Liu Li asked his subordinates to pull over a man whose hands were tied behind his back and his mouth was sealed.

Zeng Yu looked outside, and was immediately surprised, it turned out that the person who was arrested was the person sent by Zeng Yu to ask Zhou Cang for support, and he was found by Liu Li's people when he went to find Zhou Cang, and then he was directly captured.

"Liu Li, let Xiao Wang go, the person you want to kill is me, and it has nothing to do with him." Zeng Yu yelled at Liu Li.

"Let him go? Yes, come here, kneel before me, beg me, and I will let him go. Liu Li said arrogantly, and laughed out loud after speaking.

"My lord, don't believe him, Liu Li often doesn't believe his words, if you go out, he will definitely not let us go." The guards beside Zeng Yu stopped Zeng Yu.

"Liu Li, if you dare to touch Xiao Wang, I swear that I will cut you into a stick." Zeng Yu gritted his teeth at Liu Li outside.

"Hmph, Zeng Yu, you're scared to stop me, since you don't come out, I'll let you see my methods. Just now you killed one of my brothers, and you will take revenge overnight, and now I will show you what this world retribution is. ”

After speaking, Liu Li stabbed Xiao Wang in the back with a knife, and pulled it out after a turn. Xiao Wang was tied up, he didn't even struggle, and he softened all of a sudden.

Zeng Yu saw this scene in the house, his eyes were split, and he wanted to go out now to break Liu Li's body into pieces, but the guards around him stopped him.

"My lord, we can't take revenge if we go out now, so we can only avenge Xiao Wang by leaving a useful body first."

"Yes, we also want to avenge Xiao Wang, but you can't sacrifice in vain, if Xiao Wang knows about it, I don't want you to die in vain because of him."

After the persuasion of the guards, Zeng Yu calmed down. At this time, he thought that he was indeed impulsive, but after all, he was still young, and this was the first time he had encountered someone around him who had died, and he was killed by the enemy right in front of his eyes.

Zeng Yu reflected in his heart at this time, thinking that there may be more people who will die because of himself in the future, or friends, subordinates, or enemies. If Zeng Yu was a person with lofty ideals who was full of enthusiasm and rushed in. So now, he has transformed into a heroic man who can kill decisively and calmly and wisely for the sake of his goals.

"I was impulsive just now, and there will be no next time. I have vowed that I will make all those who killed my brother pay with blood! ”

Although several guards couldn't see Zeng Yu's face clearly, they felt that Zeng Yu was different from before from Zeng Yu's words, but they didn't understand it very well, but they knew that Zeng Yu would not be impulsive anymore, so it was a good thing for them.

"My lord, what do we do now?" One of the guards turned his head from time to time with a knife to look outside.

"Kill, hold on first, don't let them into the house, I'll find an opportunity to snipe Liu Li."

Zeng Yu also wanted to shoot Liu Li just now, but when Liu Li came to the back of the camp house, there were some obstacles in the middle, and in addition, Liu Li had his subordinates and Xiao Wang in front of him, so Zeng Yu had no chance to shoot Liu Li.

At this time, Liu Li knew that it was impossible to trick Zeng Yu out, in order not to dream a lot at night, the movement was so big, it would definitely attract the attention of other horses in the cottage after a long time, so he decided to attack.

He considered that the space in the room was narrow, and everyone rushed over and couldn't show it, originally they were four teams of people, he asked the other two teams to attack first, and he and the other team scattered and surrounded to prevent Zeng Yu from breaking out of the house and breaking out.

The two teams of men and horses on the left and right rushed towards Zeng Yu's several rooms under the leadership of their respective chiefs, and at this time, several bows and arrows shot out of the houses almost in no particular order, heading straight for the leaders of the attacking team on the left. A few people didn't expect a bow and arrow to shoot out of the room, and they didn't have time to dodge, so they fell in response.

The soldiers who followed them stopped in fright, and the team on the right didn't notice this side, and when they ran only a few dozen steps away from Zeng Yu's house, they found that no one came on the left, and they saw that the other side couldn't hear it, and a few chiefs in front of them were trying to curse, and before they could open their mouths to make a sound, they were killed by a few bows and arrows shot out of the house.

At this time, the two teams were leaderless, and they were hesitating, when they heard the shout from Liu Li, the centurion in the rear: "You are afraid of Mao, so many people, and you are afraid of him with a few bows and arrows, they are only a dozen people, and not everyone knows archery, rush in for me, whoever kills Zeng Yu, I will reward fifty gold." ”

People die for money, you must know that at this time, it only costs 30 yuan to be able to get a pound of grain and rice, and now one gold can be exchanged for almost 17,800 yuan, and this 50 gold can be exchanged for 600 catties of grain. And an adult eats two catties of rice a day, and fifty gold can be three thousand catties of rice, which is enough to eat for fifty years. So all of a sudden, these people rushed into the house as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Liu Li saw that his subordinates were more morale, and he was also happy, so that the people around him were on guard to prevent Zeng Yu from breaking through.

Zeng Yu was also under a lot of pressure at this time, just now he was afraid that Liu Li would find out that he could shoot an iron bow, he could shoot three hundred steps away, and he could shoot a hundred shots within two hundred steps, so he used an ordinary bow and arrow, so he fired a few arrows to implement decapitation tactics, but it didn't have any effect. But at this time, everyone rushed over at once, and they had to concentrate on their defense, once someone broke through, they could only wait to be killed except for breaking through.

So he put his bow and arrows behind his back at this time, took out his long knife and guarded the windows, gates, etc. with the others. Fortunately, it was almost dark outside the house, and almost everyone in this era had night blindness, Liu Li's people couldn't get in, their hands were broken, their feet were stomped in, and those who rushed in at once were hacked to death with knives.

All of a sudden, under the window of Zeng Yu's house, the door almost became a slaughterhouse, either covering his hands and feet on the ground and wailing, or he couldn't scream anymore and was lying on the ground with his breath.

After a burst of killing, the attacking side found that they couldn't get in at all, although they were all outlaws, but it was human instinct to live, at this time, they had no morale to attack, they all cowered, and even some people began to slowly flee into the distance.

When Liu Li saw this, he was furious, led his own soldiers to the way to attack, and shouted: "Whoever dares to retreat, I will kill whoever and continue the attack for me." ”

At this time, he was also afraid of the archers in the house, he didn't know if it was Zeng Yu, but among the former Zhou Cang's personal soldiers in the cottage, there were not a few who knew archery, and he thought that the other party could shoot his subordinates because he was close, and he was a hundred steps away at this time, even if the opponent's archery skills were good, the bow and arrow could not shoot such a distance. So he was very relieved to take his own soldiers to supervise the battle here, and sent the dozens of people he led to attack Zeng Yu's house.
