Chapter XXXVII: Retreat
Soon, Ye Bu turned out that the defenses inside the cottage were not as weak as they appeared on the surface. All sorts of strange things flew out of the gate, posing a great threat to the attacking team.
Although these things are not lethal, they can kill and injure the attackers to a great extent, make them lose the ability to attack, and also make them lie on the ground and wail because of the pain, causing great psychological pressure on the attacking team.
In just one stick of incense, the attacking team that did not collect at night had already suffered dozens of casualties, although only a few people actually died.
Dozens of wounded people lay on the ground wailing and rolling, and the confidence of the attacking team was greatly damaged.
Liu Jing, who was standing in front of the gate of the village, looked at the night that had temporarily receded with a solemn face. Although he won the first wave of victory, he still had more than 400 combat strength under his hands, and only more than 300 people could fight when his side was full, and the main force of nearly 100 people was taken away by Bailijian.
Fortunately, the team that does not collect at night is not a well-trained regular army, and the first to attack is not the real elite of the night, so it cannot pose much threat to the cottage for the time being.
Liu Jing ordered the defense of the cottage to be strengthened, and on the other hand, he asked people to collect the arrows that came in. There are not many arrows in the cottage itself, so they must be used sparingly.
Just as Ye Bu regrouped and was about to launch a larger attack again, a report suddenly came from outside, saying that a spy had been caught.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to the night, the two sides were at war, and it was normal to have spies. However, the person who came to the newspaper said that the spies were from the flag-planting village, and they suddenly raised their vigilance and hurriedly asked people to bring the spies up.
Looking at the spy who was tied up with five flowers and a rag in his mouth, he couldn't stop his heart at night, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you plugged?" How do you know he's the one who planted the flag? ”
The subordinates hurriedly replied: "Big brother, when we caught someone, he was like this." He was accompanied by another man, but he escaped. The man who escaped claimed to be a good man in the flag village. ”
"Idiot!" Ye didn't stop scolding: "That person did it on purpose, do you believe this?" ”
The surrounding group of people did not dare to come out because of the atmosphere of not receiving the scolding at night, and they could only keep their heads down and remain silent. I looked around at night, and when I saw everyone's appearance, I was even more angry, but it was not easy to attack, so I could only vent my anger on the spy lying on the ground in front of me.
Ye Bushu raised a foot and kicked the spy in the chest, the spy bowed, the rags in his mouth fell down, and he screamed in pain. Thinking about what happened to me that day, it was just because I was timid and afraid of things, I became a deserter, but I was beaten twice inexplicably, and I was sad for a while, and tears flowed down.
Seeing that the spy was kicked out with tears by his own kick, he suddenly lost all interest, turned around and sat down on the seat next to him, and ordered: "Say, tell me everything you know, and spare your life!" ”
When the spy heard this, he hurriedly stopped his tears, struggled to sit up, and said, "I said, I said!" I am the one who planted the flag village, yesterday evening, our boss suddenly gathered the team and took us out of the cottage overnight, and then early this morning, we received an order to attack the cottage that did not collect at night. I was timid, so I sneaked away, but I didn't expect to be caught, and then I was tied up and brought here. Big brother, I've said everything I know, don't kill me! ”
"How many of you came?"
"Five hundred, but only three hundred are attacking, and two hundred are on standby at the foot of the mountain." The spies were busy telling everything they knew.
"Do you know who I am?" Night Bushu struggled to suppress his anger.
"I don't know!" The spy shook his head, blank.
"Lao Tzu just doesn't take it at night!"
The spy opened his mouth wide and smacked it twice, and his face was like ashes.
"Hmph, plant the flag! Lao Tzu didn't go to beat you, he already gave you face, and now he dares to take advantage of the fire to rob, I really don't want to live. Ye Bushu stood up, glanced at the dilapidated cottage in front of him, and ordered: "Retreat!" ”
"Big brother, we are about to take down this village, and now we are retreating......" The one who spoke was Du Zhong, the second master who did not collect at night, who looked weak and weak, but his skills were really extraordinary.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't you hear, our hometown has been copied, and we have a fart cottage."
"Big brother, give me two hundred people, I promise to take down the cottage, and you take the others back to rescue." Du Zhong was a little unwilling, this time the action was initiated by him, and now he just showed up and left, which really made him very faceless.
"No! The old man in the flag village was very insidious, and he deliberately left his back hand, just to yin me. We must go back immediately, or we will have to sleep in the mountains tonight. ”
Du Zhong knew that he was the eldest brother, and he would not change his decision easily, although he was very unwilling, but he could only listen to the order and gather people to rush back.
The men and horses who did not collect at night were not a regular team in themselves, and they could barely maintain a little formation when they came, and the order to retreat was given, and suddenly the whole camp was in chaos.
Liu Jing stood on the gate of the village, and when he saw the chaotic camp in front of him, he had the urge to rush out and kill the Quartet, but reason told him that there was no strength in the current cottage.
The night was very crisp and hurried, and the camp was in a mess, and there were still a lot of pots and pans and other sundries. When the people who didn't collect it at night had retreated, Liu Jing took people out to clean the camp again, and didn't let go of anything useful. The cottage's current life is too hard, and everything is lacking.
As the night recedes, the cottage can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The captives, the old and weak, women and children who were forced to take up arms to resist in the cottage all breathed a long sigh of relief, and some of the timid even sat directly on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
The crisis of the cottage has been passed for the time being, but Bai Lijian is worried at this time. Not collecting it for a night has already made him anxious, but he didn't expect that there would be a flag-planting village.
During this time, Bailijian's focus has always been on the night of not collecting, and there was a night between the cottage and the flag village, so it did not attract Bailijian's attention, and the intelligence collection of the flag village was very limited.
But this time, the flag village suddenly appeared and attacked the nest that did not harvest at night, which alerted Bailijian. This shows that the owner of the flag village has been paying attention to everything that happened before, and his vision is very poisonous, and he seized this rare opportunity.
