A moment later, the minions of all sizes set up in the east of the city, preparing to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers who came to conquer them. The cold wind howled, but there was no enemy in sight in the night, only fires of all sizes spread like stars for miles outside the city. No single fire is considered to be prosperous, tens of thousands of fires are connected, and Rao is ironclad King Kong is trying to pass through it, and I am afraid it will be baked into a tin wine jug! (Note)

Seeing this scene, all the village owners speculated that Cheng Mingzhen might be in danger. I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. Du Scar's son-in-law was unwilling to be gone, so he pushed Hao Laodao, the fifth master, and begged in a low voice: "Old five, can you send some people to find the juanzi, so she called you Master!" ”

"You don't have to say that!" Hao Laodao glared at the tiger's eyes, and responded angrily, "I'll take someone myself." The ninth master died for everyone, and if he can't find his people, I have to move the body back! ”

After saying that, he hugged his fist to the big boss Zhang Jincheng, and rode his horse towards the sea of fire. Dozens of pro-soldiers whistled and followed with their horses. The group went away in an instant, only to see that its back was getting brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, almost connected with the firelight, but no one looked back.

Seeing Hao Laodao's back disappear in the thick smoke, Zhang Jincheng turned around slowly, first glanced around the brothers, and then ordered Xue Song, the second leader: "I see that the enemy army will not be able to pass the fire for a while and a half. Send some delicate brethren to the west of the city, and try whether the ice on the canal is frozen or not. If the seven masters and the nine masters have not returned by dawn, you will withdraw across the canal with your baggage and the old and weak. I'll stay here to cut off for you! ”

The second master, Xue Song, thought about it and nodded solemnly. beckoned a few henchmen and ordered them to lead their brothers to the west of the city to explore the way. After everything was arranged neatly, he turned his gaze back to Zhang Jincheng, looked into the other party's eyes, and suggested in a low voice: "The official army wants to sneak attack us, but it is estimated that there is no hope." But we didn't have a chance to catch him off guard when he wasn't on a firm foothold. After dawn, it was still the big boss who led the main force to cover the old and weak and the baggage to retreat first. I will lead the brothers in this village to break off. Anyway, if I can hold them down for a while, I really can't beat them, it's a big deal that I will learn from the nine masters, and I will give all the Guantao County. Burn these bastards! ”

"You'll all leave in a while, and I'll cut it off!" Every time he fights, Du Scar runs away first and charges last, but this time he suddenly changed his sex. "If Juan Zi and Xiao Jiu can't come back, what kind of work do I have, fight him for one to be enough, fight for him two to earn one!"

When the owners of the village heard the three masters say this, they didn't feel a chill in their hearts. Although the fire in the distance has burned half the sky, there is always a time to extinguish. At that time, tens of thousands of Great Sui Spirits wearing iron armor rode on the embers to kill, and most of the minions who were still holding wooden sticks as weapons could resist? The so-called aftermath is nothing more than the death of a small number of people, creating a chance for the majority of people to escape. No matter which of the six existing village owners remains, the outcome will not be too different!

There is a precedent of Cheng Mingzhen's sacrifice for righteousness in front of him, and several village owners are unwilling to be looked down upon. For a time, after the break, it became a "beauty difference", everyone wanted to rob, and no one refused to retreat first.

"It's better to leave it all and gamble. The officers and soldiers don't have three heads and six arms! "I can't get used to the sad faces of several village owners, and the new eight-master Lu Fangyuan reminded loudly." The fire of the nine masters burned half the sky, and maybe the officials and soldiers were already burned to the point of crying father and mother. When the fire is small, let's kill it immediately. It's not necessarily who loses and who wins! ”

"They're all cavalry!" The fourth master, Wang Mazi, immediately retorted loudly. Although Zhangjiajun's momentum ranked among the top five in Hebei, most of his previous opponents were local villagers. In all battles with the regular officers and soldiers, there were few victories.

"What about cavalry, it's a big deal to exchange a life for a life. Nine masters can be open, we can also be open! Sun Huozi, who had never participated in the command, coughed and shouted.

"Yes, you can't let the Nine Masters die in vain!" The hall masters also agreed with the idea of a decisive battle with the enemy army, and responded with a lot of tongues.

"People die and birds rise to the sky. Anyway, the guys are having a good time! Infected by the emotions of the village owners, several small leaders also expressed their attitudes.

Since the uprising, Zhang Jiajun's spirit has not been as neat as it is today. As far as the eye can see, at least six of the ten minions are determined to fight to the death. was illuminated by the firelight in the distance, and his face was faintly solemn.

Da Zhang Jincheng smiled dumbly, sighed, and said loudly: "Okay, since the brothers want to stretch out their hands with the officials and soldiers, let's muster up the spirit to fight." No one will retreat, the fire is small, and I will personally lead you forward! ”

"I am willing to live and die with the big boss!" A group of big and small leaders drew their knives and raised them high into the sky.

was full of sadness, and a string of figures suddenly rushed on the official road in the distance. At present, one person was covered in smoke and fire, but his hands were firmly held in front of his chest. "The Five Masters are back!" Immediately, he recognized the person with sharp eyes and shouted in surprise.

"The five masters, the five masters are back!"

"Seven masters, I see seven masters!"

The shouts overlapped, and every sentence was filled with joy from the heart. The originally neat military formation was chaotic, Zhang Jin said that he took the lead, and minions of all sizes flocked to meet him.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, make a spacious place!" The fifth master, Hao Laodao, scolded loudly while controlling the mount with his legs. "What about the camel, hurry up and let the old camel come and have a look. The nine masters are still angry, hurry up and find a way to save him! ”

With that, he dismounted and placed the man in his arms beside a pit where the snow had not yet melted. Squatted down and wiped the man's face with snow. Only then did the leaders realize that the thing that was held tightly on the chest by Hao Laodao just now, and it was as black as a carbon ball was actually Cheng Mingzhen. Immediately hula lala surrounded half of the ***, and watched Sun Huozi rescue.

The six-headed grandson had already been surrounded and squatted beside Cheng Mingzhen to check the injury. I saw that he had a handful of grass ash in his left hand and a handful of black charcoal in his right hand, and he stripped off the young man's robe with three strikes and five divisions. Then he pressed his hand on the other party's chest a few times, and said loudly, "It's okay, it's just that I'm fainted by the smoke." The silk robe on this kid's body had been stained with snow beforehand, and it was separated from a layer of heat, and it didn't really let the fire burn. Everyone flashed into the distance, let him come through this breath! Old Five, you continue to wipe his body with snow, and wipe all the places exposed outside his clothes, even if they are burned to the point where they are not burned! ”

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!" When Du Scarry heard that his son-in-law was still saved, he was so happy that he almost couldn't even bother rubbing his nose. Separated everyone, grabbed the remnant snow and wiped it on Cheng Mingzhen's forehead. The remaining remnants of snow in the pit were quickly exhausted, and without waiting for Zhang Jincheng's orders, all the minions scattered in all directions, pinched the remnants of snow near the root of the city wall, and lined up to send them over.

"Don't save him, let him die of pain!" A roar suddenly sounded in the crowd, and the seven-master cuckoo pushed his father away, grabbed the snow ball sent by others, and smashed it on Cheng Mingzhen's face.

"Juanzi, what are you doing here?" Du Scar was startled by his daughter's crazy behavior, pulled the other party's sleeve, and asked in a low voice.

"Don't save him. Anyway, he is looking for his own death! The cuckoo shook his sleeve vigorously and shook his father's fingers away. took the snow ball from the minions, and continued to throw it at Cheng Mingzhen's body. "You deserve to die, you run out of the city in the middle of the night, you deserve to meet the official army!"

was so troubled by her, the brothers around him didn't dare to continue to help. One by one, they were stunned on the spot, knowing that this was inappropriate, but they still watched with their eyes as the cuckoo snatched the snow ball away from his hands and smashed it on Cheng Mingzhen's body and face one after another.

"Girl, girl, if you still want to marry him, save him some face." Others couldn't meddle in the housework of the young couple, but Du Scar couldn't let his daughter mess around, so he stepped forward again and prayed in a low voice. "He's wrong, he's your man?! You were looking for him alive and dead just now, and you finally got it back, so why bother to lose his face in public! ”

"Who's going to marry him. He thinks it's beautiful! "I don't know if it's smoked or uplifted by Cheng Ming, the eyes of the seven masters are red." He, since he is looking for his own death, why should I stop him! ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and shed two lines of tears, forcing his little face blackened by smoke out of two white lines.

Seeing that his daughter was so sad, Du Scaryu also knew that Cheng Mingzhen's encounter with the official army tonight might be something else. He sighed and said in a low voice, "Since you don't want to marry him." Daddy doesn't force you either. Anyway, I finally rescued him, let the camel wake him up first! Don't waste your efforts! ”

"You deserve it!" The cuckoo wiped away a handful of tears and gritted his teeth and cursed. Raising his combat boots, Cheng Mingzhen, who wanted to kick the unconscious again, vented his anger a few times, and saw the strings of water on the other party's hands and face, and his heart was soft for no reason, snatched a few snow balls, and threw them beside him.

"Where did the fifth find him?" Taking advantage of the fact that the Du father and daughter were messing around beside him, Zhang Jincheng pulled Hao Laodao to his side and asked in a low voice.

"Five miles away in an earthen pit. I didn't find it, it was Juan Zi who found him first. The silly girl thinks he's dead, and she's hugging him for martyrdom! Hao Laodao smiled, and under his smoke-blackened lips, a mouthful of white teeth was revealed.

He took dozens of henchmen along the official road to the fire, and rushed through two layers of small fires one after another, only to see more than a dozen panicked minions in a low-lying place. The group surrounded the cuckoo in the middle, refusing to get out of the way. And the seven-master, who has always been strong, is like crazy, holding Cheng Mingzhen's "corpse" and striding towards the most prosperous place of the fire......

"Which is ready to jump fire. I was about to burn him to ashes when you arrived! Without waiting for Hao Laodao to continue to describe and continue to ask, a sharp retort immediately sounded in the crowd.

"Yes, yes, I'm not at the right time, okay!" Hao Laodao has never been as knowledgeable as a woman, and responded with a smile.

"That's it! I just wanted to stay a little longer and see if the enemy could get through the fire! The cuckoo's voice rang out from the crowd again, with a hint of anger.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Jincheng turned his head and glared at the cuckoo fiercely. "If you're trapped by the fire, how can you explain to your father?! Do you see clearly, can the enemy army get by? ”

Note: Tin wine jugs, ordinary people's hot wine utensils in ancient times, because of the low melting point of tin, so it is extremely easy to be burned.
