The sound of the clatter was the sound of the horse's hooves, a total of more than ten horsemen, had appeared in the field of vision, five or six miles away, the constantly shaking torches showed that this group of cavalry was rapidly approaching this side, and Song Zheng even saw the cold light reflected in the firelight on the saber.

At this moment, torches also appeared in the village a mile away. A team of nearly twenty people appeared, all of them big men dressed in black. However, he wears a white turban on his head, which is to make it easy to distinguish friend from foe in the confusion. Not only that, but in the dense forest that the Imperial City Division had just passed, torches were also lit, and there was a team of nearly twenty people.

The number of opponents is not large, not even more than half of the Imperial City Division. However, just now, the people of the Imperial City Division rushed for more than ten miles, and they only took a short break for tea in the middle, and everyone was tired to varying degrees. The other party not only waited for work at leisure, but also even had cavalry. If Song Zheng and the others don't evacuate as soon as possible, or come up with some magic methods, then except for a few people, these people from the Imperial City Division may all be here.

These three teams were outflanked by the people of the Imperial City Division, their steps heavy and neat, obviously well-trained. The speed of the besiegers on the east and north sides was not fast, and they obviously wanted the cavalry to charge first and scatter the people in the imperial city. They swarmed up again, and the fight was intended to be annihilated. There were cavalry, and almost no one could escape.

There are people in the east, south, and north, and on the west side of the road is a large deep ditch with water in the ditch. The deep ditch is impossible to go. The crowd carried the wounded, and it was impossible to cross the deep ditch before the other party arrived. If you hide in the ditch, the other party is condescending, let alone using rockets, even if you hit them with stones, it is enough to beat everyone into meat sauce.

At the critical moment, the commander also showed the demeanor of a leader, she pulled out the long sword at her waist and shouted, "Zhu Jian, lead ten brothers to attack the courtyard, defend the courtyard, and don't let the cavalry and the people and horses of the North Road pass through the intersection." The rest of the brothers, rush east with me into the village, and no matter how bold these men are, they will not be able to go on a killing spree in the village. Wounded brother, follow me. ”

This is also a way out of the question, the Grand Commander obviously wants to sacrifice Zhu Jian and the other ten people, so that they can drag the north and south of the people, and she herself leads people to rush out of a bloody road. The situation suddenly became so tragic, which she didn't expect. She knew that even if the other party caught herself, she might not dare to do anything, but these people under her command would definitely have no way to live. At this point, she had to sacrifice some of them, hoping to rush out some people.

Song Zheng shouted: "No! Then he jumped to the side of the Grand Commander in a few steps, and said hurriedly: "Grand Commander, not to mention whether Brother Zhu can take the small courtyard in a short time, even if he does, he may not be able to hold it." There were only about twenty brothers left, and less than seventeen or eighteen were able to fight, which was roughly the same as the men and horses in the east. Even if we rushed into the village, at least half of them would be killed or wounded. At this time, it is a big taboo to divide troops!"

The Grand Commander was also anxious, and roared with red eyes: "Then what do you say?" ”

Song Zheng said in a low voice: "Occupy the small courtyard, take hostages, and send people for help." ”

The Grand Commander pondered for a moment and immediately shouted, "Hu Qiang, come here!" The rest who could hold knives, led by Zhu Jian, entered the small courtyard. The crowd responded. Zhu Jian took the lead and killed towards the small courtyard. At this time, the people who had just been shooting arrows in the small courtyard had disappeared, and the gate was closed. Obviously, reinforcements are coming, and they just need to hold on to the tea.

Hu Qiang came to the side of the commander, and the commander cut off his waist card, handed it to Hu Qiang, and said in a low voice: "Hu Qiang, you have been in Mizhou for many years, and you should have a way to enter the city late at night." After you enter the city, take my waist card to find Yang Tong and inform us of the situation here. He will lead his troops to help. ”

Hu Qiang hurriedly said: "Although Brother Yang is in the army, he does not have a garrison order, and he cannot move the army without permission. I think it's better to let me stay and fight with these people! ”

The Grand Commander was furious, "Let you go!" What so much nonsense! After speaking, he also rushed to the small courtyard with a long sword, and the two pretty maids followed closely.

Hu Qiang was just about to turn around and leave, but Song Zheng hurriedly said: "Brother Hu, you said that there are robbers here who are looting the village." The land garrison has the responsibility of guarding the peace of one side. He'll send troops. Remember, be quick! Go around the edge of the deep ditch in the west of your road. Hu Qiang nodded, jumped to the edge of the ditch in two steps, and rolled down.

The other party soon discovered the plan of the Imperial City Division, and couldn't help but scream and began to speed up.

Song Zheng no longer hesitated, he started suddenly, and quickly rushed to the edge of the small courtyard. At this time, several of Zhu Jian's people had already crossed into the courtyard wall, and judging from the shouts of killing, they were desperately resisted by the people inside. The rest, some set up ladders in pairs and struggled to climb the wall, while others carried the wounded to block the gate.

Song Zheng was nimble, and when he ran to the wall, he jumped up, and the fish intestine sword was inserted into the gap in the stone wall, and with one hand, he went up to the wall more than a zhang high. Looking up, there were seven Dark Eagle gangsters in the courtyard, with white scarves wrapped around their heads, and three bows and seven or eight rockets that had been lit thrown on the ground, apparently fully prepared to detonate the explosives in the wooden box. There were only four people in the Imperial City Division who jumped in from the wall, Zhu Jian was one against two, and the commander was wielding a long sword with one against three, and they were fighting fiercely. Because he wanted to keep the hostages, the Grand Commander couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and his face was anxious.

Song Zheng jumped off the wall and went straight to the gate. He had to open the door to let most of the men in. When the Dark Eagle saw another person enter, he took one from the Grand Commander and blocked the doorway. Song Zheng didn't slow down, and hit him straight up. The man waved the knife and raised it diagonally, obviously, if Song Zheng got close, the knife would be slashed like thunder from diagonally above to diagonally below. This is obviously a veteran, no matter how subtle Song Zheng's moves are, it is difficult to get close in front of this "one move".

Song Zheng didn't even think about it, at a distance of four or five meters from the other party, his body was slightly beaten, and the fish intestine sword in his hand flew out of his hand, straight to the middle of the opponent's chest. The reason why I didn't take the other party's throat is because I think that the throat target is small, and the other party may avoid the vital point. I didn't take the left chest where the opponent's heart was, because people would subconsciously dodge to the right, so that the short sword would be inserted right into the heart and could kill with one move.

Sure enough, as Song Zheng expected, the distance between the two sides was so close, it was impossible for the other party to swing his knife to sweep away the fish intestine sword, but it flashed slightly to the right, and the fish intestine sword went straight to the heart. Song Zheng didn't even have time to draw his sword, he rushed directly to the back of the door, pulled down the two deadbolts, and opened the door open.

The Imperial City Division outside helped the crowd enter. At this time, the people from the east road had already arrived at the door, and the two injured secret guards had been cut down by the other party. Another six or seven secretaries had to turn around and guard the gate. Among them was Yuan'er, who shouted, "Close the door, leave us alone!" ”

Song Zheng had already expected this situation, and at this time, he had already picked up a hard bow and a rocket from the courtyard, turned around and returned to the doorway. Although he had never learned the bow and arrow, he still understood the basic posture, and he laboriously pulled the bowstring a little more and shot the rocket over the heads of Madoka and the others. Although the arrow was not very powerful, due to the crowd of the opponent, it still hit the top of a person's head, inserted it into the opponent's bun, and instantly burned the opponent's hair. The man screamed and hurriedly pulled out the arrow, but the fire oil on it splashed on his face, and the other party screamed in pain, which shocked many people.

At this time, two rockets were shot out from Song Zheng's side one after another, both of which passed through the gap between Xiaoyuan and the others, and shot at the two dark eagles. The two arrows were extremely fast and accurate, the first one hitting one in the chest and the second in the lower abdomen of the other. The two men screamed on the spot, fell to the ground, rolled twice, and then stopped convulsing. The rocket burned their clothes, and the two men twitched a few more times before they were completely silent.

Three arrows in quick succession startled everyone, and those dark eagles hurriedly dodged the front of the gate and swarmed to both sides. Yuan'er and the others hurriedly entered the door and plugged the door again.

After this delay, the men and horses of the north road and the cavalry of the south road arrived, and surrounded the courtyard. At the gate, there was even more shouting, shouting, and invective, one after another. Dozens of torches illuminated the courtyard around. (Hehe, it's finally over before twelve o'clock, look at the officials, come to a flower!) ）
