Chapter Ninety-Six: The Dilemma of Ishii Village
、、、、、、、
(Although there are still two chapters today, but there are more than 8,000 words, some brothers say that the update is a little slow, but the cold wind thinks that he is still working hard, after all, now I have problems with my back, I dare not sit for too long, and the typing is relatively slow, so I try to ensure the update speed of more than 6,000 words every day, for me, it is now considered an effort!) Bear with me! )
Zhang Yan sat under the banner of the army, looking at the small Zhuangzi in front of him, with a depressed face, obviously he commanded more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and surrounded this pole of only more than 200 people, but he actually attacked three times in a row, not only did not defeat this small village, but lost all three battles, and also made him lose a general, this matter is really too weird.
And this gang of bandits is very tenacious, no matter how he surrenders, he refuses to surrender, as if Wang Ba eats the scales, and he is determined to fight for the light, he is really rare to see such a strong pole, and what makes him even more strange is that the guys equipped with this pole are very strange, they are not like the poles they met before, a group of rabble, and the guys equipped with everything have everything, and this pole seems to be well-trained, and the troops are very simple, that is, the knife player, the pikeman, and the three arms of the gunner, but when they are in a group, The combat effectiveness was quite terrifying, when he led his troops to chase after him, he sent dozens of cavalry to assault them once, but he did not scatter them, and he was beaten by a row of birds, which was knocked over several times, and then discharged a spear formation, which actually knocked dozens of his cavalry to the ground.
This made Zhang Yan depressed enough, after arriving here, seeing that this group of thieves had been surrounded and killed, he thought that he could take them down with one drum, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
"Rice buckets, you fucking rice buckets, just such a thief, you went up one by one, but you were all beaten and fled back, what a fucking shame! Get the hell out of here! Zhang Yan angrily scolded at the generals in front of him.
"Qiyu guerrilla lord, it's not that we can't do it, but this gang of poles is really fierce and excessive, their mutual cooperation is very powerful, as soon as we get close to them, we will release the guns, and the hit is very accurate, even the rattan cards in the near distance can not be blocked, and there are people on both sides of the continuous arrows, as soon as we arrive at the entrance of the village, they will rush out, so dense spears, we can't rush in at all!" One of his subordinates explained eloquently.
"No matter how you say that they are also a gang of thieves, we are officers and soldiers, and the strength is almost ten times higher than them, and after two days, even they can't take it, who believes it? Where the fuck is my face facing? Zhang Yan continued to get angry.
"Yes, Zhang Guerrilla, this matter is indeed a bit unreasonable, but this time, when we destroy this gang of thieves, by the way, we might as well find some more homeless people and ...... them Click! After I went back, I said that we had more than 1,000 bandits, and it was still a great achievement! One of Zhang Yan's subordinates said to Zhang Yan with an obscene expression.
The big guys all understand that this guy is suggesting that if Zhang Yan can't do it, he can find some homeless people to simply kill the good and take the risk, even if the thief's head is not valuable, as long as there are enough, he can still be promoted and make a fortune, this reward is still indispensable, it is much better than fighting with the Tartars!
Zhang Yan looked at the sky helplessly, and did not deny this guy's suggestion, but said: "That's it!" First lay down this Zhuangzi, destroy this gang of thieves for me, and then say, it's late today, let the brothers rest first! Otherwise, if you force them to fight again, it will be bad if you don't get it right! You go and guard this Zhuangzi for me, you can't let them slip away at night, especially that ditch, send someone over there to stare at them, it's really damn unlucky, how can Lao Tzu encounter such a tricky goods! ”
At the end of the day, three consecutive attacks were frustrated, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was obviously not high, obviously looking at them with a huge advantage, and this Zhuangzi was so less than a zhang high village wall, stunned that it could not be entered, which made all the officers and soldiers a little depressed, and at the same time the people who had been on the battlefield were a little frightened, because this group of thieves was too fierce, and they didn't want to die in battle, and the spearmen and knife players cooperated with each other, so that they couldn't start at all, and the brothers who rushed to the front died really quickly, and people harvested human lives like cutting rice. At the end of this day, more than 100 brothers have already lost their lives at the entrance of the village, and no one wants to be next.
When they heard that Zhang Guerrilla ordered the troops to be collected and not to attack again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, quickly packed up and began to retreat to the camp, and no one wanted to touch the moldy head of this small village again.
And Luo Li stood at the entrance of the village and watched the officers and soldiers retreat, and also breathed a long sigh of relief, this time to put it bluntly, it was still his fault, originally this time the food that came out to fight was not small, but he was greedy and wanted to do another vote by the way, but the last Zhuangzi was blocked, not only did not beat the Zhuangzi, but attracted the officers and soldiers all the way nearby.
Fortunately, he made a quick decision and let Shi Ran retreat to the mountains with a large number of baggage first, and he led his brother to break in the back, attracting this group of officers and soldiers here, otherwise Shi Ran and them would not be able to get rid of this official army with so much baggage.
However, his good luck was also used up when he came here, because he was not familiar with the terrain, when they came here, they found that there was such a deep ditch in front of them, and there was no time to pass, so the officers and soldiers chased after him, so he was forced to take control of this small village first, and used the low village wall of the village as a fortification, temporarily blocking the siege of the officers and troops.
If this were not the case, even if he and his subordinates could fight again, they would not be able to hold out for long in the face of ten times their enemy army, and if they were surrounded, it was good that although they were not taken by the official army, it was estimated that they would not last long.
After all, they only brought two tiger squat cannons with them, and there were many more tassel cannons, bowl guns, and tiger squat cannons on the side of the official army, and they were not opponents of the official army at all.
More than 200 men, after two days of fierce fighting, the casualties have now been nearly half, and the remaining soldiers are also exhausted, if the officers and soldiers attack again, he really dare not guarantee that he can repel them again.
Looking at the corpses of the officers and soldiers who had been lost outside the entrance of the village, Luo Li sighed slightly, looked at the mountain pass in the southeast direction, and said in his heart It seems that this time he and his subordinates will not be able to get rid of it here, calculate the time Shi Ran Even if he reports back, Xiao Tianjian will lead his troops to come to rescue him, I am afraid it will be too late, he will hold on to it tomorrow morning at most, if the officers and soldiers are ruthless, this place will not be able to hold it anyway, but he doesn't feel too sorry, in two days, they have killed at least more than 200 officers and soldiers, basically it is enough, even if you die tomorrow, you will have to pull some more cushions, how can you have to pay a greater price for the officers and soldiers.
The villagers in the small village were frightened and crowded in a corner, neither daring to run out nor whether to help these thieves, and there were more than a dozen corpses not far from the well in the center of the village, they were the men of the two rich families in the village, when Luo Li led his troops to avoid entering this village, these two rich families gathered the villagers and wanted to prevent them from entering the village, but not only did they not be able to stop Luo Li, but they became Luo Li's knife ghosts.
Luo Li inspected his subordinates, arranged for the bodies of more than a dozen brothers to be moved into the village and placed in a clearing, and at the same time arranged for people to treat the wounds of some wounded, and the medical guards in his sentry team had already died before entering the village, and now he had no medical guards, so he could only rely on his own hands to treat the wounds of the wounded.
There was a shortage of medical care here, and it was difficult for the wounded to receive timely care after they were injured, and several seriously injured people quickly died and were carried to the morgue.
The morale of the army is also relatively low, and everyone seems to realize that this may be the last night of their lives, there are still about 100 miles away from Lotus Village, although Shi Ran has entered the mountain in advance, he will definitely send someone to report their affairs here to their lord Xiao Tianjian, but can Xiao Tianjian get here so quickly? No one had much faith in this, and one by one they lowered their heads and held their weapons, quietly listening to the moaning and wailing of the wounded brothers.
"Don't be damn down, let me tell you, we have played a majestic role today, and the officers and soldiers are deflated in front of us! Don't be discouraged, big guys, our Xingtian Army is all iron-legged, if our general hears the news, he will definitely bring troops to rush over to save us, maybe now they are already on the way, brothers hold on a little longer, survive tomorrow, the general will definitely bring troops over and save us back!
Tonight, the big guy had a good meal of meat, killed the pigs of these two rich families to Lao Tzu, and raised his spirits well, and then worked with the officers and soldiers, and after I went back, I personally asked the brothers for credit! Don't let the brothers do it in vain! Luo Li stood inside the village gate and shouted loudly at his subordinates.
After listening to Luo Li's words, the mood of the subordinates began to become a little lighter, and a few nervous guys immediately took the order, ran to drag out the pigs fed by the two rich families, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out, so they put the pig on the ground, and found a cauldron, and even the hair on the pig did not fade, so they threw the pig into the pot, and began to cook on the fire.
And after Luo Li arranged for people to keep an eye on the officials and soldiers outside, he paced to the villagers in the village.
As soon as the villagers saw this fierce and vicious pole, they were so frightened that they desperately crowded together, and Luo Li was covered in blood at this moment, and his face was splashed with blood, which looked indeed hideous and terrifying.
After glancing at the frightened villagers, Luo Li said to them loudly, "I'm sorry for you today!" But it's no wonder that we, we were also forced by the government to live anymore, so we did this business, we are here just to avoid it, we don't intend to harm you, you don't have to be afraid, the reason why we kill those people is because they don't know what to do, and they want to help the government deal with us, as long as you don't go against us, we will never harm you!
I also tell you, since we are here, the officers and soldiers will definitely not let you go, if you want to escape, I will not stop you, you want to go now, just go, but don't blame me for not warning you, what are the officers and soldiers, you yourself know, if you escape, you will definitely be killed by them, so I advise you, it is best to help us resist the attack of the officers and soldiers, in that case you may have a way to live! To be honest, Lao Tzu's big boss hasn't come yet, but I believe that our big boss will definitely come, as long as our big boss comes, he will definitely be able to save us.
The only way you can survive now is to count on us to stay on for a longer time, and when our reinforcements arrive, the big guys will be alive!
If anyone doesn't believe me, you might as well go out and try it, and see if what I said is right, even if we are thieves, we are much stronger than those officers and soldiers! At least we won't harm poor people like you!
Okay, that's all I have to say, weigh it yourself! If you want to go, you can go, if you don't want to go, where do we have meat and cooked, you can also come and get some food and bake some cakes, and the big guys will eat together!
What is the saying? Our big boss always tells us that it's like we're in the same boat! That's right, it's in the same boat, we're all in the same boat now, and if we turn over, the big guys will die together! ”
With that, Luo Li turned and left, returned to his men, and went to inspect and comfort the wounded.
And the common people looked at each other, and at first no one dared to move, but after a while, seeing that no one of these thieves had come to harm them, some people began to believe the words of the pole head.
They know very well what the virtues of the officers and soldiers are, and they have seen the officers and soldiers kill good and risky things over the years, even if they haven't seen it, they have heard a lot, if they really let them escape at this time, they really don't dare, those officers and soldiers can be said to be unscrupulous in spoiling women, and there is also a saying in the market, it is said that there is a kind of person in the officers and soldiers who will have a special craft, that is, to modify the woman's head like a man's head, so that the officials who inspect the head can not recognize it, You can use a woman's head to take advantage of the merit to ask for rewards, and those who can do this kind of craftsmanship are extremely sought-after among the officers and soldiers, and there are people who eat and drink well and entertain them everywhere.
Therefore, although they hated these thieves for disturbing their peaceful life and forcing them to death, they were also afraid of the officers and soldiers, and if the officers and soldiers came in, they might die even worse.
After pondering this matter clearly, some bold villagers stood up and cautiously gathered to the Xingtian Army, some people reached out to help take care of the wounded, some people went to pick up firewood, helped to cook meat and cook, and some people went to get some food, beckoned women to come over to pat cakes or cook, and gradually the villagers also accepted their fate, now they can only believe in the words of these thieves, help them in the same boat, and count on the reinforcements of the thieves, they can also escape this catastrophe, otherwise, They must have been rushed in and killed by the official army, and then they were taken by the official army to invite merit and reward.
No one wants their heads to become other people's trophies, just for the idea of survival, and it also forces these villagers to temporarily stand on the united front with these thieves.
