XXIII. Fighting

Hu Kui looked at these homeless people holding bamboo guns outside the camp, the corners of his mouth raised, showing a look of disdain, he thought that it was a certain line of officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress him, but he didn't want to be some homeless people who didn't know the height of the sky, so he couldn't help but despise a little, and glanced at a sharp soldier beside him.

The sharp soldier nodded, understood, returned to the camp and led a fast horse, turned over and jumped, holding a white flag, and slapped the horsewhip out of the camp.

Seeing that there were fast horses flying in the thief camp, Liu Ce walked to Han Feng's side and muttered a few words in his ear, then strode to the forefront with a gun in his hand, Han Feng coldly took off a feather arrow from his back and put it on the short bow......

"Oh, whoever I should be, a bunch of hungry people." The fast horse stopped about ten steps in front of Liu Ce, and the sharp soldiers on the horse saw the face of the homeless people in front of them clearly, only 7-8 soldiers with decent weapons and armor, their faces were full of disdain, and they had no scruples to say what they thought in their hearts.

"You guys are so bold, these people want to attack the camp? I think I'm tired of it! The sharp soldier paced back and forth on his horse and pulled the reins, and his arrogance was very arrogant, "My general Hu said, those who know each other should surrender quickly, otherwise the sword will be eyeless and the blood will flow like a river." ”

Liu Ce's eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Did you hear it, talk to you, whether it will come down or not!" Seeing that Liu Ce hadn't replied for a long time, the sharp soldier became impatient and shouted viciously.

Liu Ce lifted his spear and pointed at the sharp soldier who was shouting immediately, but still did not speak, the sharp soldier saw this, and was too lazy to say anything, and was about to turn the horse's head back to the camp, when a sharp sound of breaking the air came, and before he could react, an arrow from his neck was pierced, and he slowly fell off the horse's back, his eyes were round, full of unwillingness and shock......

"Hiss~" There was a gasp in the Wandering Array, and Han Feng retracted his bow expressionlessly and let out a sneer.

"Stinky boy, the two armies don't fight each other, you don't follow the rules." Feng Chounian came to Liu Ce's side with a long axe to express his dissatisfaction, although he also wanted to split this arrogant guy in half.

"Come?" Liu Ce turned his head and glanced at Feng Chou Nian as if he was mentally retarded, and then shouted loudly: "They are also soldiers? You also deserve to negotiate terms with me! You remember! They are just a group of thieves, thieves who have destroyed and displaced people in this land! ”

The impassioned words spread throughout the camp of the displaced people, and everyone listened with shortness of breath. Yang Youhuai secretly admired: "This Brother Liu is so courageous, fortunately, Lao Tzu is not one of the thieves for a long time." ”

Feng Chounian's face was flushed, but he couldn't refute Liu Ce's words, and it made sense to think about it, so he went over and led the sharp soldier's horse, looked at the corpse on the ground, and kicked it: "It's cheap for you!" It's so easy to fall into my hands and not die. ”

"Damn!" Hu Kui saw that the sharp soldier was shot to the ground by an arrow, and slapped his palm heavily on a repulsed corner, which made a slight breaking sound, "Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and leave no room alive!" ”

The thieves in the camp grabbed their weapons and rushed in the direction of Liu Ce.

"A thief is a thief, let alone ten years, even if it is another hundred years, it is still just a thief." I thought that after the army of thieves broke through Gaoyang City, the tactics would be different from before, and at least they should learn to march and set up formations, but Liu Ce still overestimated their level, looked at the thieves who had no formation at all, shook his head, and raised his left hand.

"Defense!" Yang Kaishan saw Liu Ce's gesture, and immediately shouted, and the homeless men in a column of forty people raised the square shield on their chests one after another, and the team at the forefront stood at the gap in the square shield with sharpened bamboo spears, nervously looking at the rolling thieves, constantly panting.

"Don't be nervous, when the thief arrives, you can take a bamboo gun and stick a few holes in him." Chen Qing, who was also in the Wandering People's Array, cheered up a man who was trembling beside him, "It's not a big deal, didn't you look at the sharp soldier just now?" It's not like an arrow to bring down ......" Under Chen Qing's advice, the man's mood gradually improved.

"Whew~" "Puff~"

Seeing the thieves approaching, Han Feng calculated the range of the bow and arrow, knocked down a thief with a short knife with one arrow, and then pulled out an arrow and aimed it at another thief, and the bowstring took off again and put down another ......

Seeing that the thieves were only a few dozen steps away, Liu Cefeng Chounian and others also joined the array of wanderers, raising their guns (axes) and preparing to face them.

"Kill!" Ergou was anxious to prove himself, red-eyed to kill the homeless people opposite, for the treatment of sharp soldiers to fight so far, and now it is not easy to catch such an opportunity, of course, extra desperate, remembering Sun San's humiliation of himself in the morning, Ergou swore to climb on his head......

"Hold your shield!" Yang Kaishan roared again, holding the Ghost Head Knife and staring at the target a few steps away, and then the Fang Shield at the front and the rogue collided together......

The sound of bodies hitting wooden planks sounded in the battlefield, and the first row of homeless people was almost knocked over, but fortunately, the back rows of homeless civilian shields resisted the crowd that was about to collapse, and they were forced to push back.

"Thorn!" Liu Ce shouted, and at the moment when the shield in front of him bounced the thief away, dozens of emerald green bamboo spears poked out from the gap in the shield like poisonous snakes, ruthlessly burrowing into the thief's body. Suddenly, blood flowers bloomed, and many thieves were stabbed in the chest and cheeks.

When a rogue was just bounced off by his shield, he almost fell, but was pushed back by the thieves who came from behind, and hit a bamboo spear that stabbed him, and his entire left chest was pierced. The thief looked at the bamboo spear that had pierced his body, his face full of disbelief, and then let out a wail that was not human.

There was also a thief who was pierced through the head by an oncoming bamboo gun, and the red and white slurry splashed all over the ground......

Another thief faced the stabbing bamboo spear, skillfully holding a knife to block the vital point, but was pushed by the thief behind, and one stumbled on the tip of the bamboo and was pierced through the throat......

"Put away the gun!" Liu Ce shouted, kicked away the corpse of the thief in front of him, pulled out the spear, the exiles put their shields against the corpses in front of their eyes, and pulled out the bamboo spears that pierced the body of the thieves.

"Defense!" The moment he drew his gun, Yang Kaishan's roar sounded again.

As soon as a man raised his shield, a long knife slashed at his head, and the man quickly shrank his head, and the long knife was stuck by the shield at a distance of less than a centimeter above his head, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Thorn!" Liu Ce gave another order, and dozens of bamboo spears stabbed out again, bringing up blood flowers one after another......

When the people in the back row of the array saw the sight in front of them, they couldn't help but let out a heavier gasp, and a thought flashed in their hearts: Little brother Liu Ce is amazing, it turns out that we can really kill the thieves...... A few men who wanted to run away when they saw that the situation was not good dispelled their thoughts when they saw this, and even some of them were enthusiastic in their hearts, and they wanted to immediately step forward and kill a few thieves......

"Top!" "Thorn!"

As Yang Kaishan and Liu Ce took over the order and roared, more than a hundred thieves had fallen on the ground in front of them, and except for a homeless man whose shield rope broke and his left arm was stabbed by a short spear, none of them died in a row, and everyone and those veterans were amazed by this kind of victory, especially Sun Cheng and Yang Fan, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be some kind of insurmountable gap between themselves and Liu Ce, while Chen Qing and Guo Tao felt that this was expected, but it was unexpected to be able to turn the homeless people who had never seen blood into such combat effectiveness......

The thieves saw that the army of the outcasts in front of them was like an impassable wall, and the bamboo spear was like a king who wanted to kill the king of Hades, which made people feel frightened.

"Don't run! Stop it! Stop for General Ben! Seeing hundreds of thieves running towards his formation, Hu Kui immediately shouted, but the frightened homeless people still ignored it and rushed to be the first.

"One step further, no mercy!" Hu Kui threatened with a knife, but he still couldn't stop the fleeing thieves.

"Kill Lao Tzu!" Finally, after giving an order to Hu Kui, the sharp soldiers killed dozens of fleeing thieves before they could control the situation.

"It's a pity." Liu Ce sighed, he wanted to take advantage of the thieves to break the army and rush to the front, but he still overestimated those thieves, so he had to give up.

"Ergou, you bastard!" Seeing the second dog crawling on his heels with a gray face and a handful of snot and tears on his face, Hu Kui kicked him away again in disgust, "Wait a while, you will lead Lao Tzu to rush up!" If you dare to escape again, you will not be spared! ”

"Master Hu, you can't rush in, that group of homeless people seems to have used some demon technique, and they can't kill it!" In a hurry, Ergou didn't even bark at the general, and pounced on Hu Kui's thighs again and cried, and the thieves around him also cried when they heard this, and the entire thief camp was like a dead relative crying.

"Cut, waste one." Sun San looked at Ergou's face, snorted coldly with disdain, and suddenly felt that his image was getting taller and taller.

"General Hu, I can't blame Ergou for this." At this time, a middle-aged man with an obscene image and a thin beard stood beside Hu Kui. This person is a certain scholar in Gaoyang City, named Qian Bing, who is usually insidious and treacherous, and bullies the civilians in the city, and has a very bad reputation. Before the thieves broke through Gaoyang City, because he and a few rich families were still drinking flower wine in the brothel in the city, they missed the opportunity to evacuate with the head of the family, after the Gaoyang City was broken, in order to survive, they took the initiative to find the high-level thieves, and sold the rich gentry who didn't have time to escape, including those who drank flower wine together, to the thieves, poor those rich gentry raided the house, killed and killed, and didn't expect it to be Qian Bing who sold them, the thieves saw him so acquainted, and could write, and also knew a little about the art of war, so they felt that he was a talent, ordered him to be a dog-headed military advisor in the thief army, and temporarily came under Hu Kui's command.

"What do you say?" Hu Kui looked down on Qian Bing at all, but because of the trust of the high-level in him, it was not easy to be angry when he heard him say this, and there must be some truth in what he said, so he continued to let him say it.

"General Hu." Qian Bing bowed deeply, got up and said: "General, you see, these homeless people are in orderly array, and they are not chaotic, presumably there must be a master from the army to guide them, breaking through from the front will only increase unnecessary casualties, I see that their department is empty on all sides, and there are only four thin layers in the back of the front, this is a taboo for soldiers, it is better to let my army rush from the left and right to cooperate with the front, and leave one side for them, when they can't resist, they will definitely flee backwards, the general only needs to lead sharp soldiers to attack directly, and they will be able to annihilate this group of vagrants!" ”

Speaking of this, Qian Bing felt as if he was really a master of the art of war, knowing everything, looking at the eyes and body that everyone looked at with admiration, and fluttered.

"Good! The military advisor is right! Hu Kui patted his thigh and was about to get up, when he found that Ergou was still holding his thigh, and there was no sign of letting go, so he threw him away again and said loudly: "The whole army listens to the order!" Rest for a quarter of an hour and act according to the strategy of the military advisor! Then he pulled up the second dog and said viciously: "Don't hear it, don't make any mistakes to Lao Tzu!" ”

Not far from Liu Ce's department, just after the fight for a while, everyone was resting in place, many homeless people looked at the corpses all over the ground, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air, especially those men who had just fought with the thieves, and suddenly felt a burst of overturning in their stomachs, and hurriedly ran aside to vomit, and some men who did not participate in the fight also vomited. During the fight, due to the high mental tension, I didn't notice anything unusual, but now I feel uncomfortable as soon as my body relaxes.

Many homeless people looked at the bloodied bamboo guns and bloodstained hands, trembling all over, unable to believe that they would one day actually kill someone......

"Spit it out, spit it out, it will be more comfortable to spit it out." Liu Ce sat on the side and looked at the vomiting crowd, and sighed silently, after the baptism of war, these homeless people will gradually unload their psychological baggage and become a qualified veteran.

Guo Tao and Huzi in the rear, as well as several men accompanying the army, were bandaging the wounds of the wounded man, using cotton cloth that had been boiled in a steamer. Everyone gave the man a thumbs up as a sign of respect, and the man smiled stupidly with a red face, and even felt that the pain in the wound was relieved a lot......

After resting for a while, everyone gradually returned to their positions and re-arrayed, their temperament was completely different from when they first joined the war, and they were full of confidence in themselves......

"Do you want to kill it now?" Yang Youhuai was in the third column, and he only picked up and killed a few thieves who sneaked up from the side, and he felt that he was not enjoying it at all, and he couldn't help waving the chain hammer in his hand.

"It's not time yet, the thieves' momentum is still unwaning, their sharp soldiers haven't been dispatched yet, wait, you go back first." Liu Ce looked at the thieves who had gathered again and vetoed Yang Youhuai's proposal.

"Alas~" Yang Youhuai knew this result, so he had to sigh, turned around and was about to return to the battle, but was stopped by Liu Ce.

"Do you know how to wield a knife?" Liu Ce asked.

Yang Youhuai scratched his head, and he didn't know what he meant, so he said: "Of course it will, my sword skills are not much worse than my eldest brother, what's wrong?"

Liu Ce lifted a big knife weighing 7-8 pounds on the ground and handed it to Yang Youhuai, "Lend me your chain hammer ......"

"Brothers, according to the orders of the military advisor, kill it!" According to Qian Bing and Hu Kui's orders, Ergou was temporarily appointed as a "vanguard", leading five hundred thieves to rush to Liu Ce's department on the opposite side......

"It's coming!" Liu Ce saw the thieves rushing up again, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the homeless people behind him didn't need to command to immediately raise their shields and bamboo guns to aim ahead, because the first column had just finished fighting and was too dazzling to be ranked in the last column to recover his strength, this time the second column Sun Cheng Yang Fan played in the front, and the two secretly vowed to perform better than that column, and those homeless men also held their breath, feeling that they would not be worse than them.

In this way, the second wave of offensive and defensive battles is about to begin......
