Chapter 316: Engaging the Enemy

Lan Ziyi rushed too fast and had fallen into the crowd of demon thieves, seeing that the demon thief's long axe and short knife had already slashed at Lan Ziyi's body, Tao Zhutu hurriedly took the bow and released three arrows in a row.

Lan Ziyi originally raised his sword to block the axe blade that looked in front of him, but the arrow of Tao Zhutu came first, killing the demon thief before the axe could be chopped down.

The three thieves were killed, and there was no threat to Lan Ziyi for the time being, but the other thieves behind him were coming to Lan Ziyi, who was swarming to the lonely army.

Lan Ziyi didn't worry too much about the thieves in front of him, he swung the sword left and right to pull away the blade in his hand, and shouted loudly in his mouth:

"So, what are you waiting for? Don't hurry up yet! β€œ

Tao Zhutu, who was closest to Lan Ziyi, had already urged the horse to come to Lan Ziyi's side at this time, and he yelled at Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, you don't want to die?!" Then here he draws his bow and aims at one of the demon thieves who come in front of him.

But this time the arrows of the peach rabbit were not released smoothly, at the moment when the peach rabbit pulled the bow full, the glue at both ends of the bowstring suddenly cracked, and the bow full of strength suddenly leaked its strength.

The thief who came in front of him saw that Tao Zhutu had broken his bow, and immediately came here with a gun. Seeing this, Lan Ziyi shouted:

"Third brother!"

I wanted to step forward to relieve the siege for Peach Chase Rabbit, but at this time, Peach Chase Tiger had already come from Pegasus, only to see Peach Chase Tiger Blade lightly bounce the tip of the demon thief's spear, and then shake his wrist and backhand the knife to cut off the demon thief's artery with horsepower.

Followed by Tao Zhulu jumped into the midst of the thieves, and a saber set off a bloody mist.

Lan Ziyi put his arm on the shoulder of Tao Zhutu and asked:

"Third brother, are you okay?"

Tao Zhutu didn't even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he pulled out his saber and rushed forward, he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, the road is narrow, we can't stop here, rush!"

Lan Ziyi saw that Tao Zhutu was so self-conscious, and he himself had no reason to continue his mother-in-law, so he shouted and rushed forward with Tao Zhutu.

When the many soldiers of the Jihu battalion behind saw Lan Ziyi with his cronies as arrows and stones, they all became more courageous, and rushed into the group of thieves on the road after urging the horses. There are not many demon thieves in ambush on the road, more than 5,000 soldiers of the Jihu Battalion rushed and trampled on, these demon thieves had no power to resist at all, their long weapons could not be used in the crowding of people and horses, and the short weapons did not have time to meet the enemy, and in the blink of an eye, these demon thieves were all trampled under the iron hooves of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion.

The earth trembled with the rolling iron stream, and when everything finally fell silent, all that was left of the path trodden by the armies was a pool of blood.

Lan Ziyi did not stop after they leveled the small group of thieves who were in ambush all the way, because this group of demon thieves was just a small group of enemies here to delay Lan Ziyi's march, and the real team of demon thieves was still ahead, if the demon thieves arrived under the capital, then Lan Ziyi would not be able to explain to the imperial court.

Tao Zhuhu cut through the thieves who were blocking the road from beginning to end, and then collected the knife and urged the horse to come to Lan Ziyi's side, and without saying a word when they met, he first split his head and scolded:

"Young Master, why did you rush into the group of thieves and die just now? You have no power to restrain the chicken, do you expect the king of heaven to go to the crowd to save you? ”

兰子义 says:

"The demon thief has a long axe in his hand, and he is close to us, if he doesn't pay to solve them, wait until the demon thief comes to see us with the axe, and we will be finished!"

Peach chased the tiger and scolded:

"Then you don't have to go over and die! Do you have what it takes to rush into a crowd and cut people? What if you die? ”

Lan Ziyi leaned on the horse and looked back at the angry Tao Zhuhu and sighed. No matter what Lan Ziyi said, it was unwise for him to risk rushing forward alone just now, and Lan Ziyi himself knew this, but at that time just now, if Lan Ziyi didn't take the lead, what kind of face would he have to call others to die for him?

Lan Ziyi sighed and lowered his voice and said to Tao Zhuhu:

"Big brother, don't be angry, I was wrong, I won't be so reckless in the future."

Seeing that Lan Ziyi was soft, Tao Zhuhu sighed and didn't plan to continue to ask, but his anger did not subside, and he turned his head to Tao Zhutu and said:

"You're really, the bow in your waist has been soaked in water for so many days and you dare to deadlift, right?"

Tao Zhutu was injured and vomited blood, and his face was slightly gloomy, but he was not seriously injured, and now he was lying on horseback and hurrying with peace of mind. Hearing his eldest brother's roar, Tao Zhutu didn't dare to make a lot of noise, but just muttered:

"I also saw that the young master was in danger and was anxious to get the bow and arrow, why don't I let the young master use his body to resist the knife?"

There was no reason for Tao Zhuhu to say anything more, so he had to sulk and hurry away and stop talking.

Tao Zhuhu finally extinguished the fire, and Lan Ziyi didn't dare to provoke him, so he turned to ask others:

"Is there a knife thief alive?"

A sergeant replied from behind:

"Back to Weihou, no!"

At this time, Peach Rabbit said:

"The thieves who charged just now, and those who stood in the way mostly used long axes. The axe is too heavy for hand-to-hand combat and not as good as a knife, the battle is too short for a spear, and the siege is useless, and the thieves really don't know where to use it for so many things. ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi replied:

"The long axe can be used to cut down the fence and break the wall, and the equipment of this group of demon thieves is obviously used to attack the camp."

Hearing Lan Ziyi's head, Peach Rabbit turned his head to look at Lan Ziyi, and Peach Rabbit asked:

"In this way, this gang of thieves is here to attack the camp as the young master expected, but why are the thieves attacking the capital again?"

Lan Ziyi pouted and shook his head and replied:

"I don't know, and I can't say why the thieves did this."

The army accelerated under the urging of Lan Ziyi, and several people had already led a large group of men and horses through the countryside and farmland in the suburbs before they spoke, and came to Laibei Town outside the west gate of the capital. This town is located on the west gate avenue of the capital, is the only way to enter the city from the west, many merchants will choose to rest here for a night before the city gate closes after crossing the river, and enter Beijing the next day, it is a prosperous place on weekdays. But after the demon thieves came to attack, the people in this town either entered Beijing to join their relatives, or fled in other directions, in short, when Lan Ziyi followed Yu Gonggong out of Beijing and passed by here yesterday, there was no one in the town.

Originally, Lan Ziyi thought that there was no one in the town, and all they needed to do was to pass through the town quickly, but when they rushed out of the fields and forests, Tao Zhulu, who was walking in front as a scout, sent a signal for the large army to stop, and then Tao Zhulu rushed back from the front with a few people and prisoners.

Seeing the sergeant Lan Ziyi who had returned from escorting the captives, he frowned slightly,

After throwing the captive in front of Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhulu said:

"Young master, there are a few thieves cutting wood in front, and I bumped into it, and I caught this one and came back."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Is there anyone else?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"The few who came with him were all killed by me, but they still scared the snakes."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Is there an answer behind the thief?"

摃扡鹿 says:

"No, we weren't spotted by the thieves who answered, I was discovered by the thieves in the town."

Lan Ziyi frowned and asked puzzled:

"The thieves in town?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"Exactly. Thieves are now stationed all over the town, busily tearing down houses and cutting down trees to make battering rams. β€œ

Lan Ziyi grew his mouth in surprise when he heard Tao Zhulu's report. You must know that the soldiers are fast, since the demon thief has chosen to land and raid the capital, then he has to rush to the capital non-stop, how can he stop here to build siege equipment, does he have that time? In that case, why did the thieves arrange manpower there just now to delay the advance of the officers and soldiers?

Lan Ziyi touched his chin and thought about it, then calmed down. From today's encounter with the enemy, Lan Ziyi's judgment is based on his own reasoning, this is still good, but the ugly point is actually relying on Lan Ziyi's blind guess, the irrationality of the thief's behavior is actually the irrationality within the scope of Lan Ziyi's cognition, but not everyone in the world is the same as Lan Ziyi, maybe the thief boss in front of him thinks that this is reasonable.

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi's heart was much more steady, and the anxiety he had been agitated since the morning was relieved, and he asked the demon thief captive kneeling on the ground:

"What are you doing up front?"

This thief knelt on the ground and couldn't stop fighting, it seemed that the thunderous means of the peach chase just now scared him, and now he has no one to be courageous, after hearing Lan Ziyi's question, this person replied tremblingly:

"Back to the general's words, the villain is cutting down trees."

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"Why do you cut down trees?"

When the thief heard this, he looked up and asked suspiciously:

"Didn't the general who captured me just now already say that the spell is for ......"

Lan Ziyi didn't wait for the thief to finish speaking, and interrupted him sharply:

"I'm asking you, not him!"

The thief didn't dare to look up when he was scolded by Lan Ziyi, and hurriedly replied:

"Trees are cut down to make equipment to storm the gates."

Lan Ziyi looked at the frightened demon thief kneeling on the ground, a sneer hung on his lips, and he asked again:

"Your general is only making equipment now, aren't you afraid it's too late?"

The thief knelt on the ground, and looked like he was about to pee, and replied:

"We were originally sent by Lei Youde to copy the official army camp from behind, but our general said that many people who died in the camp did not have oil and water, so he brought us over to fight the capital. When we entered the town just now, we learned that the gate of the capital had been closed, so the general told us to stop and build equipment before leaving. ”

At this time, a sergeant leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear and whispered:

"Our men from the east are stationed in this town of Laibei."

Lan Ziyi nodded to indicate that he had heard, he looked at the kneeling thief in front of him, and then looked up at the forest outside the road, the fireworks could already be seen outside the forest, and this gang of thieves was actually cooking in the town.

Lan Ziyi smiled and sighed, the thieves attacked the capital just a false alarm, and now they have caught up, and the remaining question is how to eliminate this gang of thieves.

Lan Ziyi originally wanted people to find a place to tie up this little thief directly, but turned his head and remembered a question, so Lan Ziyi asked:

"Listen to the accent, you're not from Lingling."

When the thief heard this, he replied:

"General Mingjian, the villains are following Lei Dashuai after the Shouchun Incident."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi sighed, Lei Youde sent here a team of newly surrendered exiles, not his cronies.
