Just as Yao Gan and the others were about to die at the hands of the thieves, and their lives were hanging by a thread, a sharp whistle suddenly came from behind them, and dozens of arrows crossed their heads and shot straight towards the thieves who had been killed.
Finally, before they were about to be wiped out, the army of attackers rushed up from below. Just because there was still some distance between the two sides, and seeing that something would happen to their comrades, those soldiers did not hesitate, so they took arrows and opened their bows, supporting the front with random arrows.
This sudden burst of arrows really helped a lot, and in the case of no preparation, these thieves also suffered a lot of losses like the officers and soldiers just now, and the first dozen or so people were directly pierced through the body by the arrows and fell. Then the thieves who were still fiercely rushing forward quickly stopped their attacks and waved their knives to save themselves, thus giving the officers and soldiers in front of them a chance to retreat.
In the middle of retreating and advancing, the remaining forty or so elites finally merged with the army, and the latter did not stop for a moment, and once again viciously struck at the enemy in front of them, and all the soldiers risked a heavy killing intent in their eyes, eager to cut the thief to the ground.
The blood feud between the people who were killed in the two towns made them suffer in the vast mountains and feed the insects, coupled with the hatred of seeing these many robes being killed and injured by thieves...... All the new hatred and old hatred broke out completely at this moment, and the officials and soldiers shouted and rushed over, raising swords and guns at the same time, stabbing and chopping, and killing the already panicked Qingtianzhai thief Kou retreated again and again, almost losing the strength to resist.
These thieves still have some courage to slaughter the unarmed people, and if they really let them go head-to-head with the officials and soldiers, there is no way to do it in the case of losing their geographical advantage. After only resisting twice, some people threw away their weapons and shouted surrender, while others turned their heads and ran backwards, and they were so frightened that they forgot that there was no way to escape on this mountain, and it was impossible to get out.
Seeing this, the morale of the officers and soldiers was even more boosted, and they quickly pursued it with a roar. Among them, the one who rushed to the forefront was Yao Gan. Although he still had two arrows on his body, and his injuries were not light, his movements did not slow down, and when he caught up with one person, he raised his knife and fell, cutting the enemy directly to the ground, and then he did not stop, and quickly pounced on the next target.
It wasn't until he pushed back to the Juyi Hall that his footsteps slammed into the hall, and then he quickly pounced into the hall with a horizontal knife in his chest. As for the other officers and soldiers, they continued to press forward, and some people outflanked them from both sides, and soon formed an encirclement and surrounded all the thieves.
"Mr. Xue Qian, it's all this time, don't you want to help your brother? If we are caught by the officers and soldiers, you don't want to be good! Seeing that he was cornered, a thief leader shouted loudly. But it was said to those officers and soldiers who had retreated some distance again at some point.
But what disappointed him was that even if they all spoke, Xue Changqing still had no one rushing up to resist the offensive of the official army for them. Even Xue Qian scolded loudly and asked his subordinates to step forward, but the officers and soldiers still stood in place in a daze, without the slightest intention of stepping forward.
You must know that these officers and soldiers are the elite of Datong City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are arrogant soldiers. And because of Xue Changqing's orders, they had to hide on this poor mountain and become shrinking turtles, and were even regarded as fellow thieves, which was unacceptable to their pride.
Before, they still felt that they had the hope of retreating from the enemy to protect themselves, so they would use bows and crossbows against each other. But now, the overall situation has been decided, how can they go head-to-head with the Shandong officials and troops again, and work hard for those Qingtianzhai thieves who they can't look down on at all?
At this moment, the officers and soldiers had completely completed the encirclement, and between the swings of swords and guns, a strangulation of the thieves had been formed: "Put down your weapons and surrender quickly!" "Before they killed them, they shouted out this sentence.
Under the strong murderous aura and pressure, these thieves, who had long lost their fighting spirit, finally dropped their blades one after another, and raised their hands high to show that they were willing to surrender. At the same time, many people approached Xue Changqing and them, and they also shouted for them to abandon their weapons and surrender.
Xue Changqing looked at the subordinates beside him who had no intention of resisting, and could only sigh, and dropped the steel knife in his hand as he said. And as he made this move, the others also lowered their weapons, and finally avoided an unnecessary battle.
It was only at this time that Mr. Xiong Qian walked in front of Xue Changqing with a calm face, and carefully looked at him and the men behind him who were still wearing the standard armor of the Ming army with the torches beside him, and then said, "Where are you troops?" Why are you with these thieves? ”
"I am Xue Changqing, the general manager of Datong, Shanxi, and this matter involves secrets in the Datong army, and you are afraid that you are not qualified to know." Even though he has become a prisoner, Xue Changqing still has no intention of cooperating, and at the same time he has clarified his identity.
Xiong Qian always looked at him with some surprise, knowing that things were indeed a little tricky. The other party's identity is not lower than his own, and he is also the army of his province, even if his own division comes, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with. Since this is the case, then simply take the person down first, take it back and hand it over to the people above to dispose of.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "Tie them all up, escort them out of the mountain and dispose of them later!" ”
Immediately, a subordinate agreed, took out a rope and stepped forward to tie people. For this arrangement, although Xue Changqing was dissatisfied, he was helpless. Who let them be in the den of thieves, and they can't even come up with the slightest reason?
Just when everyone was busy kidnapping the prisoners, a terrible scream came out from the Juyi Hall, which made people's hairs stand on end at the same time, and they also came back to their senses. Immediately, several soldiers turned around and rushed into the hall.
It wasn't until they entered this Juyi Hall, which was made of bamboo and wood and covered an extremely large area, that they found that the scene here was really shocking-
The floor was littered with cups and plates, and it was just a matter of throwing all kinds of bones and half-eaten food. In some of the seats, there were a dozen or twenty young women in disheveled clothes and covered in wounds. Although they didn't seem to be worried about their lives, they all sat there in a daze, like a shell that had long lost its soul. As long as they think about it for a moment, everyone can think that this is because they have completely lost consciousness after being devastated by it......
In a corner in front of him, Yao Gan was kneeling on the ground, holding a young woman covered in blood in his arms, trembling all over, big tears kept dripping and falling on the woman's face, but the other party did not react at all.
"Brother Yao......" An official who had attacked the cottage with Yao Gan before stepped forward and shouted with concern, but the other party didn't react at all, just looked at the woman in his arms stupidly, and said softly for a while: "Little sister, why don't you wait for brother, I'm already here, why do you want to kill yourself......"
After everyone heard these words like a cuckoo's blood, they understood, and their faces showed sympathy.
It turned out that Yao Ling had already had the idea of dying after being humiliated by thieves. It's just that I can't help myself, and I don't even have the freedom to commit suicide, so I endured it until just now.
As a result, because the officials and soldiers suddenly killed, these thieves in the hall rushed to meet the enemy, so they left these women here. Yao Ling, who found an opportunity, did not hesitate any longer, struggled to get up, and used the last bit of strength to directly hit the wall of this righteous hall......
Yao Gan came in and searched for a long time, and finally found his sister's cold body in the corner. Blame, anger, panic...... A variety of negative emotions made him unbearable, so he let out that scream.
He hated those thieves, Shi Heng, and Xue Changqing, but what he hated the most was himself. If he hadn't chosen to attack the enemy on the tower post just now, maybe he would have saved my little sister's life. The thoughts of regret and self-blame weighed on him, and he was a little out of breath.
"Brother Yao......" Seeing him like this, those officers and soldiers felt even more uneasy, and some even reached out and patted him on the shoulder, as if to appease him. This time, he woke up the stunned Yao Gan, he got up suddenly, and walked out step by step with his little sister's body in his arms.
This move suddenly made everyone a little confused, so they could only follow him out.
Soon, he had already left the Juyi Hall and came to the thieves who had long been bound and sturdy.
Just when the surrounding officers and soldiers looked at him in puzzlement, and wanted to ask who the person in his arms was, Yao Gan suddenly reached out and grabbed a steel knife, roared, and chopped off the head of a captive in front of him. Then, with another roar of rage, the knife slashed out again and sank into the neck of another thief who was all scared.
It wasn't until he killed two people in a row that everyone finally came to their senses, hurriedly rushed forward, hugged Yao Gan, and snatched the knife from his hand with all hands and feet: "Old Yao, don't mess around......
"Let go of me, I'm going to kill all these beasts!" Yao Gan immediately struggled. Fortunately, there are a lot of people here, and everyone came up at the same time to drag and press, and finally controlled Yao Gan, who had lost his mind.
And after such a fuss, Yao Gan's already injured body finally couldn't withstand the double pressure and blow of body and spirit, and fainted with a tilt of his head.
It wasn't until he fainted that Xiong Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time glanced at the people around him and said, "This matter must not be spread outside." ”
Just when everyone nodded in agreement, a soldier who was in charge of counting the number of thieves rushed over with a worried face: "Mr. Qian, Huo Qing, the leader of this Qingtian Village, has never been able to find it. ”
"What?" Xiong Qian was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Send someone to find me, this is the culprit, and I can't let him run away." Even if you demolish this cottage for me, dig three feet into the ground, and find out the people for me! ”
