Three hundred and fifty foot soldiers. This is already the largest force that Han Yuan County can send to Linjian.

Yoo Eun-jae saw that even these three hundred and fifty foot soldiers, in terms of their equipment, could hardly be called more sophisticated than those mob rebels. But fortunately, they have been more or less trained by the state government, and they can still basically identify and implement the basic combat instructions such as military orders and banners. Judging from their marching formation and discipline, Liu Enzai felt that these foot soldiers, who were mostly composed of farmers, could hardly say how much combat strength they had, and at most they would be able to reach Linjian County within the estimated time.

After two days of starry nights, the reinforcements of Han Yuan County, led by their county lieutenant and led by Yoo Eun-jae, arrived near the vicinity of Linjian City.

When he was not far from Linjian City, Yao Ping saw from a distance that there seemed to be smoke rising in the direction of Linjian City. Seeing this, Yao Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he immediately left the team in a hurry, ran forward quickly, and then, he rushed up a bare small dirt slope, stood on tiptoe and looked at the county seat.

Standing on the dirt slope, Yao Ping was horrified to find that the place where the smoke of fire rose was the east gate of Linjian. And what was burned was the East Gate Tower of Linjian City! He saw that a large number of mob rebels were now passing through the gates below the city, and they were swarming into the city.

"Ahh Yao Ping couldn't help but shout in horror after seeing the gate of Linjian City lost. Then he hurriedly pulled out the "shadow cut" on his back and held it tightly in his hand. Holding his weapon, he rushed towards Linjian like crazy.

Liu Enya, who saw Yao Ping's move from a distance behind, immediately understood nine times out of ten in his heart, he hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to speed up his pace towards Linjian City.

When Yao Ping ran all the way to the outside of the walls of Linjian City, he saw that there were almost no mob rebels outside the city. All of them had rushed into the city. Seeing this, Yao Ping's eyes also turned red from anxiety and urgency, and he suddenly remembered the scene in Pu Yuancheng that Liu Enzai said. After scolding, he rushed into the city first, ignoring the fact that Yoo Eun-jae and reinforcements had not yet arrived behind him.

Yao Ping, who rushed into the city, found that a large number of mobs were wantonly looting and rummaging for treasure and food, and some mobs were bullying and coercing the people in the city. Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Yao Ping suddenly remembered the situation in Qingfu County at that time, and at the same time, he also remembered that his portrait had been posted at the gate of the county town for a long time. In the face of these mobs from Qingfu, Yao Ping immediately searched around, he found a piece of burnt wooden stick, and after smearing the ashes on his face, Yao Ping boldly blended into the alley.

"Lijun! Flower! Yao Ping shouted loudly. He shouted and searched as he hurried to the alley where they had been hiding.

When he came to the head of the alley, Yao Ping was also shocked to hear the woman's screams. He hurried in search of the sound, and after following the sound into a courtyard, he was surprised to find that a mob was about to commit violence against a woman.

Before he could think about it, Yao Ping raised his knife and rushed forward, but before the mob could turn around to look at him in surprise, he stabbed the blade of the "Shadow Cut" into his back. As the mob screamed, Yao Ping gritted his teeth and pulled the knife horizontally, accompanied by a large amount of gushing blood, and the mob's life was over.

Yao Ping looked at the corpse of the mob who died under his knife in horror, he looked a little overwhelmed, and at the same time as he was stunned, the woman who was dragged to the ground by the mob staggered out in panic at this moment.

"Don't go out! It's full of people out there! Yao Ping suddenly turned around and shouted to the woman.

The woman ran out of the courtyard after glancing back at Yao Ping in horror. Seeing this, Yao Ping knew that the woman seemed to regard himself as a mob, so he had to chase after him quickly. But Yao Ping, who drove out of the courtyard, found that there was chaos on the street outside the courtyard at the head of the alley, and the figure of the woman had long disappeared at this moment.

Looking at the chaotic mob looting money on the street, Yao Ping had no choice but to put the knife into the sheath, and had to give up the search for the woman. He quickly turned around and walked quickly to the end of the alley, which was where Li Jun and Chen Dahua were hiding.

It's a dilapidated mansion at the end of an alley. After pushing open the wooden door of the small house, Yao Ping saw that the ground was in a mess, and there was no one in the house.

"Lijun!" Yao Ping shouted loudly in the house, "Li Jun! Chen Dahua! ”

No one responded from inside the house, except for the chaotic shouting, crying, and screaming from the other side of the street outside the house.

"Lijun!" Yao Ping shouted and rushed out of the mansion again. Just as he was looking around for Li Jun, he suddenly found that at the head of the alley at this moment, there were four mobs holding weapons and staring at him hesitantly.

Yao Ping was shocked, and he immediately thought, could it be that they found out that they had killed that mob and wanted to come to him to avenge him? No, probably not, and if that were, they wouldn't hesitate. Could it be that they recognize themselves as wanted criminals? It's also unlikely that his face was smeared with black ash, which should be difficult to recognize. Then they must think that they are the people of the city, and they want to loot and rob.

Thinking of this, Yao Ping suddenly shouted at them in the Qingfu dialect, "The silver vault in the south of the city is open!" Go there and grab the money! ”

As soon as the four mobs heard Yao Ping say this in the Qingfu dialect, they pulled their legs and ran towards the south of the city.

After seeing the four mobs quickly run away, Yao Ping took a deep breath. But before he could breathe, he hurriedly continued to look for Li Jun, Qu Shun, and Chen Dahua.

When he found a broken wall, Yao Ping suddenly heard a mob shouting outside the wall, "The leader has an order, everyone goes to the west gate to chase after them, and the people in the city have fled from the west gate with treasures." ”

After hearing this, Yao Ping immediately turned to the west gate and ran, and he even mixed into the ranks of the rebels, and rushed all the way to the west gate of Linjian City with them. When he came to Yao Ping under the West Gate, he found that he was unconsciously standing at the forefront of the anti-army ranks. He looked back and found that not many mobs had rushed to Simon in response to the order. It is clear that more mobs are still searching for treasure and food in the city, and they have no intention of following the orders of any one of the leaders.

Looking through the wide open west gate of the city, Yao Ping saw a forest, and in the woods, he saw that there seemed to be many people running towards the forest. At this time, Yao Ping also unexpectedly saw the leader of the rebels. It was a big man riding a black horse, and around him, there were more than a dozen mobs armed with weapons and armor.

Yao Ping glared angrily at the leader of the rebel army, and he clenched the "Shadow Cut" in his hand, his heart full of resentment.

"Report Big Brother!" A rebel pawn came running in panic, shouting at the leader, "Great... Eldest brother! Reinforcements from the government have arrived at the east gate! ”

"What? Reinforcements from the government?! How many people did they arrive? The leader asked.

"Approximately, about three or four hundred."

"Just three or four hundred!" The leader beckoned to the surrounding mob, "Don't chase these people yet, gather your men quickly, and you will follow me to kill them." ”

Seeing that Ximen was going to chase and kill the people's rebels, he turned back to the city, and then rushed to the east gate, Yao Ping took this opportunity to run out of the west gate, he went out of the west gate all the way to the west, and ran to the woods in the distance.

"Lijun!" Yao Ping shouted loudly as he ran close to the woods.

"Ahem!" A panting old man who fled for his life was leaning under a big tree, looking at Yao Ping in horror.

"Uncle, where are the people going?" Yao Ping approached the old man and asked him.

"Hero, spare the old body, spare the old body's life." The old man looked at Yao Ping in horror and said.

"I'm not a bad person." Yao Ping asked anxiously, "Uncle, do you know where the county lieutenant of Zhan has gone?" ”

"Well, over there." The old man raised his finger tremblingly, pointed to the side, and after coughing, he said, "County Lieutenant, take the people, go over there, go." ”

"Thank you."

After Yao Ping thanked the old man, he ran in the direction he pointed. But after running out for more than ten steps, Yao Ping suddenly heard a scream behind him. He immediately turned around to look, but was surprised to see that a short, stout evil man was now slashing an axe into the chest of the old man just now.

Looking at the old man who was still talking to himself just now, and was about to die tragically at this moment, Yao Ping only felt that the blood instantly surged into his head, and his scalp tingled in shock.

"The old immortal thing." The mob took out the axe from the old man's corpse, he looked at Yao Ping and said viciously, "Why can't you fuck such a waste?" Do you just know how to rob money? ”

Yao Ping stared at the evil man in front of him, and he angrily pulled off the scabbard of the "Shadow Cut" and threw it to the ground. He gripped the hilt of his knife and walked slowly towards the evil man with a murderous face.

The evil man obviously noticed Yao Ping's abnormality as well, he took a sip and said, "Damn, little bastard, it seems that today is also your death date." ”

Yao Ping was furious, and he took the lead in rushing towards the evil man. Yao Ping and the villain immediately intersected with knives and axes as soon as they got closer. It's just that the blades that intersect with the axe, one is a famous sword artifact in Sakurazhou, and the other is a farmer's thing for chopping wood. When the evil man's axe came into contact with the blade of the "shadow cut", a spark immediately burst out, and with this spark, the axe was split in two from the blade to the back of the axe.

After seeing that the axe in his hand was cut in half by Yao Ping with a single blow, the evil man was a little frightened for a while, and he was at a loss for what to do. But when the evil man was stunned, Yao Ping didn't take this opportunity to wave the "shadow cut" at him again, because the slash just now made him unexpectedly lose some of the handles. When Yao Ping re-grasped the "Shadow Cut" and made up his mind to kill the evil man, the evil man had suddenly turned around and began to dodge and run backwards.

Yao Ping saw the wicked man fleeing, and immediately took a step forward to chase after him without hesitation. After chasing for a while, the evil man suddenly turned around and threw the remaining half of the axe in his hand to Yao Ping, and in the face of the half of the axe thrown by the evil man, Yao Ping hurriedly dodged, and then stumbled under his feet, thus losing the best opportunity to catch up with him.

Seeing that the wicked man was about to run out of the woods and head towards the west gate of Linjian County, where there were mobs, Yao Ping couldn't help but hate, he thought that it would be difficult to avenge the old man who had just died.

However, just as Yao Ping was thinking this, he suddenly saw a spear fly out of the forest. The spear cut through the gaps between the trees, drawing a clear parabola in mid-air, and then the spear plunged into the thigh of the villain. The wicked man who had suddenly struck the spear immediately fell to the ground, and his hand covered his bleeding thigh, which had been pierced by the spear, and immediately rolled on the ground and began to wail in pain.

Yao Ping, who was angry for a while, didn't care where the spear came from, he immediately chased after the evil man, he raised his knife and wanted to cut the evil man's head. However, when he looked at the evil man's bloody thighs and his painful wailing, Yao Ping's heart softened, and his hands couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

The wicked man saw Yao Ping walking towards him with his sword, he pleaded in pain and retreated backwards in pain, and just as Yao Ping hesitated, he suddenly pulled the spear out of his thigh. Yao Ping, who was so frightened and brave by the evil man, did not wait for the evil man to stab his spear at him again, and slashed him into the forehead.

Looking at the evil man who held the spear in his hand and died tragically in front of him, Yao Ping took a sluggish breath before he looked blankly into the forest where the short spear flew from. Subsequently, he was surprised to find that the person who threw the short spear turned out to be Li Jun.

"Miss Lijun!" Yao Ping turned around and shouted in surprise at Li Jun who ran to him.

"Brother Ping... You... You're finally back.." Li Jun stopped with tears in her eyes, she stood in place, looked at Yao Ping affectionately and said.

Yao Ping greeted Li Jun excitedly, and after he ran to her side, he held her hand tightly, and then he said to her, "I'm scared to death, Miss Li, I... I'm really worried about it..."

Li Jun nodded tearfully.

"Flowey!"

While Yao Ping reached out to wipe away Li Jun's tears, he saw Chen Dahua leaning out from behind a tree.

"Great! You're all in this together, and you're all right! Yao Ping said to Chen Dahu and Li Jun at the same time.

"Bottle, you're back.." Chen Dahua also looked at Yao Ping with tears in her eyes and said.

"Where's Junko?" Yao Ping held Li Jun's hand, and he asked Chen Dahua urgently, "Where is Shunzi?" Did he escape from the city? ”

Following Chen Dahua's looking back, Yao Ping could only hear someone shouting behind the bushes, "Bottle, I'm here."

Yao Ping let go of Li Jun's hand at this moment, and he hurriedly ran behind the bushes, and he saw that Qu Shun was lying on his back on the ground behind the bushes. However, his crotch was tied with a bandage, and the bandage was stained red with a large area of blood.

"Junko, you're hurt?!" Yao Ping leaned over to look at Qu Shun's injury and asked him worriedly.

"It's okay, bottle." Qu Shun grinned and showed his white teeth and said, "I was scratched with a knife by a bastard when I was on the city wall." ”

"Is the injury serious? Let me see. Yao Ping asked.

"It's okay, it's not heavy, I'm thick-skinned." Qu Shun looked at Yao Ping and said, "It's really good that you came back safely." ”

"Junko, you're hurt... Is it really okay? Yao Ping asked.

"Hey, that's fine."

Yao Ping nodded, and then said, "I was scared just now, but fortunately, you all escaped from the city without any problems." ”

"yes." Qu Shun said, "But it's a good thing that those mobs didn't chase this side anymore, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to run." On the contrary, you have to involve Li Jun and Huahua. ”

"Bottle, where's Yoo Eun-jae?" Chen Dahua opened his mouth and asked Yao Ping on the side, "Didn't you come back together to find reinforcements?" ”

"It's broken!" Yao Ping said suddenly, "Liu Enzai is still in the city with reinforcements." I'll have to go back to him. ”

"How many reinforcements did you find?" Qu Shun asked.

"Three hundred and fifty." Yao Ping said.

"And you're going back to the city?! No, bottle, that's too dangerous. Qu Shun persuaded Yao Ping.

"I know, but I'll have to go back to him. And the three hundred and fifty warriors, I'm going to find them and get them out of the way. Yao Ping looked at Li Jun, and then said to Qu Shun, "You hide here, and the rebels won't chase after you for a while." I'll be back to you soon. ”

Seeing that Yao Ping was eager to turn around and leave, Li Jun suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yao Ping's hand, and after hesitating for a moment, she said to him, "Brother Ping.... I... I'll go with you too. ”

"No, Miss Li, it's too dangerous, you can't go." Yao Ping turned around and held Li Jun and took his hand and said to her.

"I want to... With you. Li Jun looked at Yao Ping affectionately and said, "I... I don't want to wait for you any longer like I did the other day. I want to go with you, I know it's dangerous... But I..."

"Miss Li..."Yao Ping looked at Li Jun's affectionate eyes, and after a moment of emotion and confusion, he nodded at her, and then said, "Okay." Let's go together. But if it's dangerous, I'll let you run, you have to run, you have to listen, okay? ”

"Hmm.." Li Jun nodded in response.

"Junko, Huahua, you must hide it here." Yao Ping turned to Qu Shun and Chen Dahua and said.

"Bottle, you need to come back soon." Chen Dahua said.

After running a few steps towards Linjian County, Li Jun rushed to the corpse of the evil man who had just been hacked by Yao Ping, and she picked up the short spear she had just thrown from the corpse.

"Miss Li, I didn't expect that spear just now to be thrown by you, it's really incredible." Yao Ping looked at Li Jun who picked up the short spear and said to her.

"I," said Lijun, "I didn't expect to hit him." ”

"But you hit it, it's so far away, and there is a tree in the middle, you still voted accurately." Yao Ping said, "I really didn't expect you to have such skills." Who taught you? ”

"This... No one taught me, maybe that's because I was a kid throwing spearfish on the beach. Li Jun said, "Just now I saw that you were chasing him, and I just threw it casually like a spearfish in the past..." ”

"You're a bit too good at it." Yao Ping said, "It's also fortunate that you made a timely move, otherwise, if you let that bastard run away just now, I don't know how many innocent people he will have to kill next." ”

Li Jun nodded slightly.

Yao Ping looked at Linjian County, which was in chaos in the distance, and said, "After a while, we will enter the city from the east gate, and after entering the city, if there is danger, don't make a sound, I will speak." Most of them came from Qingfu, and if I spoke the Qingfu dialect, they might be mistaken for being their accomplice. We might be safer that way. ”

"Hmm," Li Jun nodded in response.

"Yao Ping!"

Just as Yao Ping took Li Jun all the way around to the south gate of Linjian County, Yao Ping suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name.

He looked back with Li Jun, but saw that the person who shouted his name was Zhanye. Yao Ping saw that Zhanye was covered in blood, and he was followed by more than a dozen soldiers who were also blood-stained robes, and they were running towards this side at this time.

"Yao Pingyishi, you're back!" After Zhan Ye ran closer, he first said to Yao Ping, "You came back from Han Yu with reinforcements?" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Zhan." Yao Ping said, "Yoo Eun-jae and I brought reinforcements from Han Gao, but the number was not large, only three hundred and fifty foot soldiers. They should have entered the city from the east gate by now, led by their county lieutenant and Yoo Eun-jae. Lieutenant Zhan, you, why are you here? ”

"Yao Yishi, it's hard to say, I couldn't hold the city as promised." Zhan Ye hung his head guiltily and said, "Seeing that the city was about to fall, I organized soldiers and people to break through from the West Gate together. ”

"Lieutenant Zhan, where are you going now?" Yao Ping asked.

"I just heard from a few people that I saw reinforcements entering the city, so I rushed back with a few capable soldiers and prepared to go to see the situation." Zhanye asked instead, "What about you?" ”

"Lieutenant Zhan .." Yao Ping said, "I saw that most of the people had fled from the city, and I wanted to tell Yoo Eun-jae and Han Yong's soldiers to withdraw from the city. ”

"Well, tell me, through which gate did they enter the city?" Zhan Ye asked.

"East Gate." Yao Ping said, "We came around from the east side of the stream. Yoo Eun-jae should still be fighting the rebels in the area of the East Gate. ”

"Then let's get there." Zhan Ye said, "Now that there is no answer in the city, we can't let Han Gao's soldiers give their lives in vain." ”
