Chapter 25: The Night of Fire and Blood

On the ninth night of the first month, the moon is dark and the wind is high, so it is advisable to kill.

A few dog barks faintly came from the direction of Chen Jiachong, and then fell silent. After a while, several dark shadows hurried to the river and let out a few birdsong towards the dark woods. Less leaning, and a few of the same birdsong came from the woods. A few dark shadows quietly dived into the water to the opposite shore and burrowed into the woods.

"The owner of the village ......"

"How?" A group of dark shadows greeted him, led by Chen Zhan, the owner of the Ferris Village.

"The lord of the village, it is done. There were five dogs in total, all of whom died of medicine. ”

"How's it going in the yard?"

"There were three groups of 10 people patrolling outside the hospital, armed with wooden guns and sticks. In addition to the north side of the mountain, there are one in the east, west, and south. The three passages of the hall are guarded by the courtyard staff, and there are guard towers on the east and west sides of the inner courtyard, with guards, equipped with wooden guns, hand knives, and strong bows. All the guards added up to nearly 100 people. ”

"It's well defended." Zhang Wenxiu drew a brief map on the mud floor with a branch while listening to Zhai Ding's report, studied it carefully with the light of a little incense, and asked, "Where are the rest?" ”

"Scattered in the lobby, stable, and backyard, eating and drinking. I heard that Chen Yi will return to Chaoyang tomorrow, so Chen Fu will set up a banquet. ”

Chen Zan and Zhang Wenxiu glanced at each other and laughed silently. Originally, it was a surprise attack at the time of the meal, and the killing was caught off guard. It's good now, set up a banquet inn, not only eat but also drink, God really help me.

At this time, a villager holding incense approached and reported: "The owner of the village, the second incense is extinguished." ”

"Okay, the hour has come, raise the fire, attack!"

With Chen Zhan's order, countless black and oppressive figures appeared in the woods, grass, stone crevices, and riversides. Torches lit up one by one, dispelling the night, and a roar resounded through the valley. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the torches all over the mountain are like red ants, spreading to the courtyard where the lights are turned off.

The lights of the Chen family swayed, and the figures rushed forward, whistling, screaming, and roaring, and all kinds of sounds rang out in one piece.

The courtyard staff closed the door in a panic, lowered the door bolt, and blocked it with wooden ladders and stone piers from the inside, and several figures appeared on the courtyard wall.

Snort, a few random arrows fired, and two figures planted down the courtyard wall, but more figures followed...... They jumped off the wall and fought with the courtyardmen.

When more and more figures appeared on the wall, the courtyard soldiers finally couldn't resist it anymore, and turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.

Bang, the door is open, and the crowd is surging.

Chen Zan was dressed in ochre-colored cowhide armor, wearing a red cloak under his collar, and holding a steel sword, and took the lead in killing the inner courtyard under the protection of more than ten guards. On his side was Zhang Wenxiu, who was wearing a leather helmet and chain mail. This handsome man with a delicate appearance and a strong appearance, holding a hand knife (Song Army's standard waist knife), formed a triangular formation with four guards, slashing and killing all the way, and the blades were curled.

Under the brave rush of the two commanders, Motianzhai Ding was like a bamboo, from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and to the hall.

Rumble! The two carved rosewood doors of the hall collapsed with a bang. In the dust, Chen Zhan, Zhang Wenxiu and a group of guards and Zhaiding appeared in front of the door.

There was a table banquet in the hall, cups and bowls were messy, and there were fierce men sitting around the table. There were no less than 100 people in the entire hall, but at the moment it was so quiet that only the sound of the soup pot "popping" was heard.

Chen Zan gasped, lifted his cloak, wiped the blood stains of the sword blade, put the sword on the ground, and looked around: "Who is Chen Yi?" ”

At the head of the hall, a big man with messy hair and a golden hoop stood up, untied the nine-ring broadsword from his waist and slapped it on the table, shaking the cups and bowls to the ground: "Master is Chen Yi!" ”

A guard beside Chen Zan came over: "That's right, he is Chen Yi." ”

"Very good, the tide thief listens to the truth. You and others treason to the enemy, lead the Mengyuan Tartars to attack my righteous teacher, trap my loyalty, and the crime is unforgivable! Today, Chen gathered 36 heroes and 8,000 righteous men to fight back against the thieves, and they started with you. Chen Zan slowly raised his sword and shouted, "Chen Yi dog thief, suffer death!" ”

……

Cha! The cold light flashed, and a big skull rolled out of the distance.

Jiang Fenglie swung his sword, the blood mark was three feet, the sword blade was recognizable, and the blood was not stained.

"Put away Fang Yulong's head, take it back to the village, and rank it alongside Ye Xiurong's head, and hang it for three days, thinking that it will be a latecomer." Jiang Fenglie returned his sword to the sheath and looked at Ma Nanchun, "Brother Zhongping has a good means...... This Zhao brother is so decisive. The two of them really have a tacit understanding. ”

Zhao Liegong arched his hand: "It's all up to everyone to help each other, Brother Zhongping alone can't kill seven opponents." ”

Jiang Fenglie didn't know that Zhao Lie was not reckless at all, but confident. It seems that Fang Yulong controlled Ma Nanchun, but in fact, it was Ma Nanchun who pinched Fang Yulong's life. And the key to all this lies in that crisp explosion.

In his sleeve, he shattered his skull with a blow. Such an invisible weapon for killing people is not comparable to an idle hidden weapon. Perhaps, it is not known whether it can be applied to the battlefield.

Jiang Fenglie made a decision, after this battle, no matter what method is used, he must see what is going on with this Zhao Hunt's firearm.

After a thrilling crisis, Qunhao gritted his teeth and scolded Fang Thief, while condolences to Ma Nanchun, and naturally asked what kind of weapon the explosion that killed Fang Yulong was. Ma Nanchun returned the salute one by one and vaguely passed. Qunhao is not very concerned about himself, after all, this is a killer weapon for everyone to save their lives, and it is reasonable for others not to disclose it.

At this time, the sound of fighting in the valley was faintly heard. The excited crowd rushed to the top of the mountain to catch a glimpse of the grand scene.

Jiang Fenglie was about to move, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Ouyang Guanhou: "Yes, Brother Dingjun." You said before that you saw the rebel general Liu Zili banqueting three people in the camp, namely Fang Yulong and Ye Xiurong. Who else is the other person? ”

Ouyang Guanhou's eyes wandered: "I'm also looking for this person." ”

Jiang Fenglie was shocked: "This person is also among the righteous heroes?" ”

"Exactly."

Jiang Fenglie pressed the circlip, and the blade of the sword popped out of the sheath three inches, and the murderous aura overflowed: "Who is it?" ”

"Zhang Wenxiu!"

……

"Chen Yi dog thief, suffer death!"

Chen Zan shouted and just raised the steel sword in his hand, when he suddenly shook his whole body, and his movements froze - half of the bloody blade leaked out of his chest!

Chen Zhan let out a gurgling sound from his mouth, a large stream of blood spilled out of his mouth, and he struggled to turn his headβ€”he saw a familiar face with prominent edges and corners, thin and lean.

"Chapters, Texts, Show ......"

Zhang Wenxiu's eyes dodged, and he sighed in a low voice: "Brother Zijing, I'm sorry, my brother is also forced to be helpless, and the military order is difficult to disobey." You, let's go. ”

Laugh at! The blade is retracted.

"I ...... Hateful! Chen Zan let out an earth-shattering roar, and a mouthful of blood rain spewed out from the sky, falling down heavily.

"Brothers, copy guys!" As Chen Yi slapped the table, the thieves lifted the table one after another, pulling out knives, axes, guns, sticks and other weapons from under the table. All of a sudden, the hall was filled with swords and axes, and the murderous aura was pervasive.

"Kill them all, not a single one will be left!"

As Chen Yi's cold voice sounded, firelight, screams and blood invaded the night sky.
