Chapter Twenty-Four: Getting the First Step
(Ask for red tickets, ask for rewards, ask for collections!) Hehe! )
Xiao Changshan never thought that the enemy would actually kill him from behind, and he was supervising his minions to shoot arrows, throw stones, and fire cannons at the enemy troops attacking the mountain outside the mountain gate, but suddenly a sentry of men and horses came out from behind them, and broke through the pass wall at the mountain gate like a mad tiger.
Originally, Xiao Changshan's subordinates were terrified at the mountain gate, looking at the formation of the Xingtian Army outside the mountain gate, a team of troops advanced up, repeatedly and non-stop attacking the mountain gate, they were already a little panicked, and the firepower of the Xingtian Army was also very fierce, especially the other party's firecrackers used the salvo of the bird guns, one by one, and the number of birds in Xiao Changshan's hands was very limited, and they could not suppress the firepower of the Xingtian Army at all, the result was that although they occupied the advantage of geographical advantages, But he was still overwhelmed by the firepower of the Xingtian Army outside the mountain gate, and under the intensive firepower of the Xingtian Army, the losses could be said to be quite heavy.
The Xingtian Army outside the mountain gate also seemed to see Xiao Changshan's weakness in terms of firepower, and did not attack desperately, but continued to shoot bird guns, and with strong bows, they kept shooting Xiao Changshan's subordinates who showed their heads on the mountain gate, and this battle made Xiao Changshan quite depressed.
The more this happened, the more nervous he and his men became, and they focused almost all their attention on the outside of the mountain gate, not noticing what was going to happen behind them.
It wasn't until they inexplicably suffered a rain of arrows that shot over more than a dozen of them one after another, knowing that at this time, someone found out that these arrows were not shot in from outside the mountain gate, but from behind them, and when they turned their heads, they saw a group of people brandishing big blades and killing them from behind, and this time Xiao Changshan's men completely bombed the camp.
No one knew where these enemy troops came from, and no one could figure out how many enemies they had entered in the village, and under Luo Li's rush, Xiao Changshan's men immediately collapsed completely, and the mountains were running around, and after a while, Luo Li led people to rob the mountain gate and open the mountain gate from the inside.
As soon as Xiao Tianjian saw that the mountain gate was opened from the inside, and heard that there was a big chaos inside the mountain gate, he knew that Luo Li had succeeded, and immediately ordered to charge.
Xiao Changshan stood on the mountain gate, although he shouted hysterically and commanded his subordinates to counterattack, but at this time his subordinates had already become frightened birds, thinking only about how to live, where was there anyone listening to Xiao Changshan's command!
Xiao Changshan only has dozens of hardcore cronies who are still fighting at the mountain gate, and the rest of the people are still fighting at the mountain gate, and the rest of the people who can escape will flee to a secluded place in the cottage, and those who can't escape will simply lose their guys and kneel and beg to surrender, leaving only Xiao Changshan with a small number of subordinates who are still resisting stubbornly.
Lin Luo was placed at the back of the team by Luo Li because he was thinner, and he didn't draw his waist knife to join the melee, but used his hunting bow to hunt the target of the seeker.
Lin Luo has practiced a good archery since he was a child, although his arm strength is limited and he can't use a hard bow that is too strong, but the accuracy of this hunting bow in his hand cannot be despised either.
And he is best at fast arrows, he can aim and release arrows very quickly, even if the enemy is only a few steps away, he can also draw arrows unhurriedly, aim and launch, the speed of the arrow can be said to be dizzying, compared to those brothers with knives, his threat to the enemy is not weaker than them, along the way, there are no less than ten people shot by Lin Luo, and Lin Luo is still searching for the next target.
At this time, he finally saw a guy jumping and shouting the most in the enemy group on the wall, and when he saw the big man, he immediately concluded that this person must be a leader, and it was the butcher who was in charge of the plate here, so he immediately jumped his index finger, and took out a carved arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and raised his arm to pull the bowstring......
Xiao Changshan desperately brandished the big knife in his hand, and successively slashed over the two subordinates of the Xingtian Army who tried to grab the pass wall, and the enemy's blood was splashed all over his face, which made his ugly face look much more hideous, and he still didn't understand where these enemy troops touched his cottage from, but one thing he knew very well was that he might be completely finished today, but he refused to finally admit defeat, and was still fighting the trapped beast on the pass wall, planning to kill one to be enough, and kill two to earn one.
Just when he was like a mad dog blocking the pass wall, and trying to rush to the pass wall of the Xingtian Army's subordinates, a sharp arrow flew towards him almost silently, when he noticed that something was wrong out of the corner of his eye, he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late, the sharp arrow that flew like a poisonous snake, shot into his throat, although he was wearing a set of iron armor, but the neck was not protected, in the face of this sharp arrow, Xiao Changshan's neck was shot through on the spot.
Xiao Changshan's body slammed suddenly, he staggered back two steps, his left hand covered his neck that was spurting blood, his eyes showed a look of consternation, his big mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a roar, just hissed and leaked, and his legs were weak, and he knelt on the wall.
As soon as he retreated, the passage to the pass wall was immediately made of an opening, Luo Li led people to immediately grab it, rushed up to the pass wall, looked at Xiao Changshan holding his neck, and slowly knelt on the ground in a daze, his mouth hissing with blood, a soldier of the Xingtian Army grabbed him in front of him without saying a word, smiled cruelly, and suddenly waved the single knife in his hand.
A stream of bloody arrows soared to the top of the city, and a huge human head immediately spun into the air and rolled down the wall with a grunt......
As soon as Xiao Changshan died, his remaining minions finally lost their fighting spirit completely, and one by one they threw away the weapons in their hands with dead faces, knelt on the ground and gave up resistance.
The Xingtian Army poured into the mountain gate like a tide, and controlled the entire Lotus Village at an extremely fast speed, controlling the minions of Xiao Changshan who had not yet been killed.
The capture of Lotus Mountain can be regarded as a real gain of the first foothold in Yangcheng for the Xingtian Army, and Xiao Tianjian did not have time to deal with the matter here, so as soon as he captured Lotus Mountain, he arranged for Yan Chongxi and Fu Deming to stay, and left all the craftsmen and non-combatants such as soldiers and female dependents here, and left Yan Chongxi with a sentry soldier and two hundred recruits, so that the two of them could deal with the affairs here first.
And he personally led the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers, just rested a little after the battle, and at dawn the next day, he left Lotus Mountain and drove in the direction of Dongye Town.
Before attacking Lotus Mountain, the Xingtian Army first fought a battle with Zhao Datong, and set up an ambush to annihilate nearly 800 of Zhao Datong's men in one fell swoop, and even Zhao Datong died on the spot.
In this way, Zhao Datong's entrenched nest Dongye Town has become a borderless land, and the army is also very empty, if you don't take the opportunity to seize it, then wouldn't it be equivalent to sending a big dish to others?
Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian solved Xiao Changshan, he rushed to Dongye Town non-stop, planning to go to Dongye Town to receive Zhao Datong's inheritance.
But what he didn't expect was that when he led his troops to rush to Zhao Datong's Shuangfeng Village in Dongye Town, he saw the smoke billowing and the flames in Zhao Datong's cottage from a distance, and there were some faint screams and cries in the cottage.
Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and his heart was still a step too late, so he immediately rushed into Zhao Datong's cottage where the gate was wide open.
As soon as they entered the cottage, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, in Zhao Datong's cottage, there were corpses lying everywhere, including men and women, and even children, some of these people were hacked to death with knives, some were stabbed to death with guns, and some people were simply tortured and killed, and the deaths were different but they could be said to be miserable.
The bodies of several women were tied to the pillars naked, apparently raped and then tortured and killed, so that there were almost more than 300 people killed, which can be called a massacre.
It can be seen that just before they arrived here, Zhao Datong's stockade had been captured, and the place was looted, and before leaving, the people in the cottage were basically killed, so that the property here was wrapped and left here before the Xingtian Army arrived.
After Xiao Tianjian saw the situation here, he was so angry that his muscles jumped straight up, and he yelled: "Search for me!" Find out who did it! ”
The subordinates who followed Xiao Tianjian immediately dispersed, searched in the cottage, and followed the cry, they soon found two people under the bed in a closed small room, and brought them to Xiao Tianjian.
These two people, a man and a woman, are not very old, under the smoke and fire, and hide under the bed and rub their faces full of ash, plus they cried just now, all of them are like flower cats, and they can't see their true faces, and the two of them were terrified after being searched out by the people of the Xingtianjun, kneeling in front of Xiao Tianjian and putting away their cries like chaff, and begging Xiao Tianjian for mercy again and again.
Xiao Tianjian shouted impatiently: "Don't be afraid, I'll ask you something, and you have to answer truthfully!" If you answer honestly, I won't kill you! ”
The two young boys and girls hurriedly nodded, not daring to talk nonsense anymore, waiting for Xiao Tianjian to ask.
"Who are you, why are you here, what happened here before we came? Who killed the people here? Xiao Tianjian saw that they were a little quiet, so he immediately threw out a series of questions.
The girl didn't dare to speak, and the young man immediately choked up and replied: "The two of us are brothers and sisters, and my father is the steward of Zhao's family.
After the news came back, our second boss was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to find Feng Tiancheng to come over and discuss how to deal with those poles coming from outside!
But he didn't think that after Feng Tiancheng brought his people last night, he suddenly made a difficulty, seized the gate of the village, let his men in, and began to burn and kill in the village.
I took my sister to hide under the bed in the house, and only after they left, did I dare to come out, but I saw that the inside of the village was like this, and then you came, and I took my sister back to the house, but my sister was frightened and cried all the time, and you found her! ”
Although the boy was scared in his heart, he still spoke in an orderly manner, which was already rare for a frightened person like him.
