Chapter 144: Encounter (II.)
And on the street near the West Gate.
"Come with me, brethren!"
Lao Guan, who was holding a flag spear high, kept roaring loudly
"If anyone dares to move his fingers against the pipe head, let's fight with him!"
"If any of us don't give up our lives to keep the head of the pipe, we are not raised by our parents, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
"The head of the pipe who swears to protect him is thorough, and he is a dog."
On the left and right were the voices of the same enemy.
Hearing this, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but show some relieved expressions on his face, and then patted the stupid big man who was in charge of raising the flag in front of him, and sped up his pace and pushed forward.
He could have sneaked in, and then gained the upper hand and advantage before he came to the road, which was also a safe plan that was formulated in the first place; However, after seeing many reactions at the city gate and in the city, Zhou Huai'an still chose a more risky way to appear in public, to quickly solve the chaotic battle in the city.
Of course, the price of pretending to be forced is not so comfortable, which means that he is exposed to the threat of others and may be attacked by cold arrows at any time, so Zhou Huaian had to wear two more armor and a helmet with a cape as a basic protective measure.
At this time, his high-resolution eyesight, as well as the magnified range of biological scanning, can come in handy, which can basically be used to find some clues of ambushes and dangers in advance, which can be regarded as an insurance measure in another sense.
As soon as Zhou Huai'an and the soldiers behind him turned an interface, they saw a temporary barrier on the street, and there were about five or six hundred people behind them, and they had already pulled out all kinds of knives, guns, swords, and halberds, and shouted chaotically.
Ge Congzhou, Huo Cun and the others who were standing beside couldn't help but be shocked, and they all quickly drew their swords. In an instant, all the knives and swords were drawn, and the bows and crossbows were raised to aim.
However, Zhou Huai'an led the stupid big man out of the crowd to the front.
At the same time, behind the barricades, these five or six hundred people were crowded on the streets and in the houses on both sides of the road, densely packed, blocking Zhou Huai'an's way forward. Some of them are open-chested, some are naked, and some are wrapped in silk cloth, and they seem to be filled with a certain atmosphere of disorder and chaos.
But when they saw clearly the colors of the approaching people and horses, and the banner they were holding high, they were immediately puzzled and frightened, and the noise turned into whispers. When the centaurs came within half a mile, they stopped whispering.
None of them knew what was going to happen, so they held their weapons tightly, stared at Zhou Huai'an, who had a calm attitude and a cold expression, and watched each other's every move with bated breath, only the sound of nearby horses' hooves and the short breaths of the crowd.
About less than twenty zhang away from these crowds, within a distance that could be shot by a crossbow, Zhou Huai'an waved his hand to press the restlessness left and right, and cleared his throat and shouted loudly.
"I know you ... Recognize you all. ”
"Don't think that hiding your head and hiding your face is useful."
"Zhou Xiaosi, I can easily save your life and come back,"
"Is it just for you to raise your sword and gun against your fellow brothers?"
"Guo Laoqi, didn't you swear to find the government to hate you?"
"Why are you dealing with your own people first?"
"You foolish bastards."
"It's because of an outsider's agitation and empty promises."
"I trampled on the kindness and affection of everyone who lived and died together in the past."
"Have you fed all your conscience and character to the dogs?"
Then while saying that Zhou Huai'an was slowly moving forward, there was all kinds of commotion behind the barricades, even if the people were a little helpless and didn't know what to do. As the team led by Zhou Huai'an got closer and closer, the crowd at the back began to mess up, shouting one after another, some people shouted not to retreat, and some people shouted: "Don't hurt the pipe head!" No use of force! ”
"Brothers, stop this virtual monk and don't retreat!"
Then someone shouted,
"Do you want to tie your hands and wait for death?"
"After all these things, do you want someone to spare you?"
At this time, many bright knives, swords, and spear tips were suddenly raised in front of Zhou Huai'an, and they were densely pointed at his face from behind the barricade. Lao Guan, Xu Si, Cheng Da Biting and Mi Bao and other close members all raised their weapons in an instant and rushed to the front guard to protect Zhou Huai'an.
I saw that across a chaotic barricade, weapons against weapons, making a sonorous sound of swaying and rubbing, and they were about to start tearing each other. Zhou Huai'an, who felt something in his heart according to the detection of the biofield, waved his hand and shouted to the people who were protecting him: "Retreat!" Don't do it! He shouted at the other party, "Stand back!" Don't do it! ”
The weapons that the two sides were about to touch each other immediately separated. Behind the noisy crowd, many voices shouted: "Don't hurt the pipe!" Don't touch the pipe! "What dog dares to hurt him in the slightest." Then, in the distance, there was the sound of running and angry shouts: "Get out of the way for King Chuang, don't stand in his way!" ”
Then Zhou Huai'an continued to move forward, forcing the figure behind the barricade to retreat step by step; Then he stepped onto an overturned wheelbarrow in the barricade, and suddenly a number of shaking spear tips were raised in front of him. He sneered and snorted, flicked his hand to the right and left, and effortlessly fired a few spears with tassels and strips of cloth hanging down, and the rest hurriedly retracted as if they had been burned by fire or bitten by snakes, and at the same time scrambled to get out of the way.
At this moment, the composure and solemn momentum he embodied was shocking, and no one dared to seriously touch him with a weapon. The few people who had different intentions couldn't help but panic in their hearts, so that they had to be squeezed to the side of the road in the action of retreating from the group.
Everywhere they went, people dodged to both sides, and walls of people and weapons were formed on both sides of the road. The people were silent in a tense atmosphere of wonder and admiration as they watched him pass by. He was followed by Xu Si and Mi Bao, and then a group of guards leading their horses.
There are many familiar faces on the side of the road that Zhou Huai'an has seen, some have asked him to see a doctor, some have asked him for advice, and some have asked him to help write letters; Then he was seen walking up to him, vying to greet him with a nod, a wave, or a smile. He smiled and nodded to them, as if a spring breeze was beginning to appear in the freezing days.
At this time, the daily accumulation of bits and pieces in the furious wind camp, all kinds of kindness and affection can come in handy; Zhou Huai'an could almost accurately call out the name of a certain greeter, and then they seemed to want to be encouraged and praised, so they suddenly walked out spontaneously with their heads proud, and drove more people to join the team and crowd behind Zhou Huai'an.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Huai'an's vanguard passed, the team behind followed like a tide, swept a few dissidents inside, and hugged him forward. Although some people scolded the people on the left and behind them, they could no longer threaten and command everyone as they wanted, but were wrapped in the crowd and the people around them were quickly knocked down and tied up.
As a result, the barricade that stood in the way of the street crumbled, like an invisible sand bank that disappeared under the torrent. At this time, a large number of people with swords and guns rushed over to the opposite street again, but after the leading few people saw Zhou Huai'an, their faces suddenly changed and they retreated back into the crowd; But the rest of the people continued to rush over angrily under a certain inertia.
Then, at the moment when the two phases were about to collide in one place and the swords met, a burst of earth-shattering shouts and cries erupted in the newly emerged crowd:
"Say hello to the pipehead."
"Ask the head of the pipe how well."
"The tube head is finally back."
"It's good if the tube head is back...
Zhou Huai'an, who was standing on a big cart and being pushed by people, looked at it steadily, and it was Lu Fang, the commander of the left battalion, but why was Lu Fang himself not here, but only a few teams were leading it, could there be something wrong.
It's just that at this moment, he doesn't have time to stop and talk nonsense, just select some people to follow him, and assign some people to strengthen the control force of the city gate and other key points, or go to the armor warehouse, the stable, and other places to control the situation
And with the mighty team driven by Zhou Huai'an, every time they advance to the previous section and pass through a street corner, they will almost grow one point more with the people who gathered; After a while more before the government of the inner city, they finally met the first real resistance; There were hundreds of strange soldiers waiting in battle, firmly brandishing swords and spears in front of them;
But in the face of the crowds and angry torrents rushing from all directions, they are only a small obstacle in the middle of the weight...
In another part of the city, in the new camp where the news had been received, there were also many people gathered in a hurry, some with drunken spirits, wantonly throwing their arms and insulting, and some viciously waving their weapons in their hands, trying to call for their subordinates to gather around. Then, with a shocking shout and roar, in an instant, overshadowed their clamor from the outside
"Kill these dogs and bring the heads back."
"Follow the pipe head and eradicate these scourges."
With these cries and roars, a dense rain of arrows suddenly flew down on top of their heads, and suddenly there were screams all over the ground, and the formation that they had so easily gathered together turned into a tendency to flee and dodge in all directions;
Then, in the midst of one after another orders and whistles, a large group of soldiers with helmets and armor holding cards and guns, and black cloth wrapped in their arms, suddenly rushed in, and immediately scattered these people who had not yet completed the queue, and divided them into many scattered squads, and the siege and slaughter were in full swing.
