Chapter Seventy-Three: Attack

Cui Daoshu continued: "When someone attacked outside just now, An Dalang went out with the guards to meet the enemy, and I was left alone in the study. I got out of bed, put some clutter on the bed, covered it with a quilt, and pretended to be lying down. Then he and a few guards hid behind the bookshelves, waiting quietly. ”

He paused, "Then it became more and more chaotic outside, as if many people were fighting, and we didn't make a sound. After a while, the door to the study opened, and a dark figure slowly walked in, and walked straight to my bed, he took out his knife, lifted the quilt, and stabbed it down. I ordered a few of the guards to arrest him, and he fought with them a few times before running out. Then you will know it all. ”

Zhao Zizhong said regretfully: "It's a pity that Li Jinyang was shot to death, and he couldn't leave a living mouth, so he may not be able to find the main envoy." ”

"It doesn't matter, sooner or later we will know, our top priority now is to drive the bandits out of the manor, if we can catch a few live mouths, we will know everything."

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, "An Dalang and I will take people out to fight, and leave Du Dalei and some guards to you to protect the female dependents and children." ”

Then Zhao Zi shouted again: "Da Lei, come here!" ”

When Du Dalei heard it, he ran over, "Boss, are you going to attack?" I can't wait! ”

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "You stay to protect the people in the study, and I will take Da Lang and Boris out." ”

Du Dalei was anxious, "Boss, don't bring this, let me go too!" ”

Zhao Zizhong looked at him sharply, "This is an order!" You are not allowed to bargain! Stay honest! ”

Du Dalei immediately held back, and walked to the children stupidly, shouting as he walked: "You little cubs, let me in!" Or I'll spank your ass! The children rushed into the study.

Cui Daoshu looked at Zhao Zizhong with concern, "Big brother, you have to be careful, don't work too hard!" I have already sent someone to the military camp near Mingzhou to find reinforcements, and if you hold on for a while, the garrison will arrive. ”

Zhao Zi reorganized his weapons and equipment, and said, "It's okay, the bandits' combat effectiveness is not strong, we will be fine." ”

He looked at Boris, who was bandaging next to him, and said to the other guards: "Do you still have leather armor, put it on Boris?" ”

One of the guards replied, "Mr. Zhao, there is still leather armor, but Mr. Bao is too tall for him to wear." ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again, "You go find a few pieces, tie them to him with ropes, and tie them with a few more layers, which will increase the protective capacity." ”

After a while, the guards brought some leather armor. Everyone pressed on Boris with all hands and feet, and tied it firmly with ropes.

Boris moved a few times, and felt that it did not hinder his movements, so he said to Zhao Zizhong: "Boss, I'm ready to attack." ”

Zhao Zi counted the ten guards and asked them to stay, and then led the others out of the courtyard. At this time, he saw Cui Hongzheng and An Dalang talking something, and there were more than 20 people standing next to him, all of them were stewards and servants of the long house, many of them were injured, and some of them were disheveled, supporting each other, looking very embarrassed.

Zhao Zizhong walked over, and Cui Hong hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are the head of the family and the ladies okay?" ”

"Everything's alright, how's it going outside?"

Cui Hong's face was gloomy, "It's all chaotic outside, there are about hundreds of bandits, they kill people when they see them, and they also rob a lot of gold and silver, some women are raped and killed, and the other houses have suffered heavy losses." A group of men had taken over the storeroom and were moving valuable things out. ”

Zhao Zizhong was full of anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Steward Cui, you go into the study to rest, and I will take someone to kill these miscellaneous pieces now!" Dalang, how many people do you have now? ”

An Dalang replied: "There are thirty-four people, all ready. ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "You let them line up, with the pikemen in front, the crossbowmen following, and the guards with short weapons at the end. And then follow my people, you go to the front, with Boris. ”

An Dalang went to the whole team, Zhao Zizhong asked the guards to help the stewards into the courtyard, Du Dalei shouted while closing the door: "Boss, be careful!" ”

Zhao Zi replied: "You are also careful, take care of the children!" ”

After a while, nearly fifty people lined up. An Dalang stood in front with a horse lance and Boris, and behind him was a mandarin duck formation. The other thirty or so Cui family guards lined up in five columns and followed behind.

Zhao Zizhong walked to the back of the Mandarin Duck Formation and said to Zhai Xiaoshan: "When you fight for a while, you will shoot the leader of the bandits, but don't shoot to death, especially the big leader, I want a few alive, understand?" ”

Zhai Xiaoshan nodded, "Big Chief, I'll shoot the leader's thigh, so that they can't run, and they will have a mouthful." ”

Zhao Zi patted him on the shoulder again, "Do a good job, if you make another meritorious service, there will be a reward for you!" Don't overdo it! ”

Zhai Xiaoshan grinned and showed a few big white teeth, "Don't worry, who thinks it's too much money!" I'm so poor, I want as much as I want! ”

The people around laughed, and everyone was very envious of Zhai Xiaoshan's generous reward. Zhao Zizhong shouted to everyone: "You all have to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and there are rewards, I'm afraid that everyone will not have the ability to take them!" ”

The guards were in high spirits, and they all shouted,

"I want a mother-in-law too!"

"Great Chief, we will do our best!"

"How much does it cost to kill a bandit?"

Zhao Zi saw that the results of the mobilization in front of the station were good, and smiled knowingly, "The Cui family is a wealthy family, and there are too many people to count. Let's do it! Let's go! ”

Antaro and Boris moved, and walked towards the outskirts of the manor. The mandarin duck array hurriedly followed. Zhao Zizhong walked in the middle of the team and maintained the formation. The Cui family's guards followed, but there was some slight confusion. Zhao Zizhong walked behind and tried his best to let everyone move forward in an orderly manner.

After walking for a few minutes, I met several servants and maids who had escaped, and they were all embarrassed, and several of them were disheveled and weeping.

Zhao Zizhong ran over and asked, "Which room are you from?" Where is the most bandits? ”

One of the servants replied, "We are in the fifth room, and the bandits have seized all the people in the house, killed several people, and are asking where the treasure is." A few of us took advantage of the chaos to run out. It is said that the warehouse has the most bandits. ”

Zhao Zizhong said kindly: "Don't be afraid, a few of you go to the master's study to hide, it's all our people there, go ahead!" ”

A few people helped them away, and Zhao Zizhong said to An Dalang: "Let's go to the warehouse, we will meet these scum!" ”

An Dalang agreed, turned to the right and moved forward. Zhao Zizhong beckoned everyone to follow. After walking for a while, I met a few people running towards the team, followed by a few bandits with weapons, shouting while chasing: "Stop, or I will kill you all." ”

An Dalang let the few people who had escaped, and rushed towards the bandits with a horse lance. He sped a few paces, and the lance stabbed out like a poisonous dragon, piercing through the chest of the bandit at the front.

He twisted his body and threw it, and the body of the bandit smashed into the three people behind him. The three bandits were caught off guard and were knocked down by the corpse. An Dalang waved his horse lance, and the head of a bandit rose into the sky.

At this time, Boris also arrived, picked up a hammer and smashed it on the back of a bandit's head, and blood and brains splattered, bursting Boris all over. An Dalang stabbed out of the horse lance, and the last bandit was hit in the throat, and the account was settled at that time.

Seeing this, the guards behind couldn't help but smack their tongues, these two guys are too vicious! It's your own people, otherwise how can others have a way to live!

An Dalang shouted with a cruel smile: "Keep up, everyone will be happy in a while!" ”

The guards agreed and followed An Dalang with high morale. After walking for a while, I came to an open field, which was the open space in front of the Cui family's warehouse. At this time, sixty or seventy people gathered at the door of the warehouse, loading supplies into the carriage, and the scene was chaotic, and many people were shouting and scolding.

Some of the bandits saw the approaching queue and began to shout. The bandits dropped what they were holdings, picked up their weapons and wanted to rush over.

A rough voice rang out: "Everyone stand still! Queue up now! ”

The bandits began to find their own positions, and under the shouting and kicking of several leaders, they gradually formed three horizontal columns.

A fierce-looking man with a thick beard and leather armor stepped out and stood on the far right of the bandits, shouting, "Little ones! Kill all these guards, rush! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a crossbow flew and pierced into his thigh accurately, more than two inches deep into the flesh. He threw himself to the ground, howling.

A short, sturdy, ugly-faced man ran over and shouted, "Big brother, how are you?" Does it matter? ”

The rough man shouted: "Third child, you killed all these bastards for me, and I was killed!" Ah-------h

The third man hid alertly behind the bandit team, and shouted hoarsely: "Charge into battle, each person will be rewarded with ten yuan!" Kill! ”

Zhai Xiaoshan pursed his lips while winding the crossbow, "These miscellaneous pieces are too stingy!" If you have ten dollars for a person, you must be a poor ghost! He loaded his ballista, raised it and began to look for worthy targets.

Zhao Zi saw that the bandit leader was shot down, and the bandits were a little cowering, so he shouted: "Mandarin duck array, attack!" ”

An Dalang was the first to rush forward and began to kill. Boris followed without saying a word, picked up the sledgehammer and began to sweep through the ranks of bandits.

Seeing this, Zhao Zizhong shouted loudly: "Mandarin duck formation, turn to the left!" ”

The mandarin duck array turned to the left, and the two wolf warriors came out of the crowd, raising the thick wolf whisk and sweeping the faces of the bandits in the front row. Many of the bandits were swept in the face, threw away their weapons and covered their faces and howled.

Four pikemen leaped past the shield-bearers of the cover, and the spears stabbed out, stabbing between the bandits' chests and abdomen. The short knife hand in the back was eager to try and wanted to come out and make some money. Zhao Zi hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, the whole team!" Keep attacking! ”

Everyone stepped back and re-lined up. Zhao Zizhong turned back to the queue of Cui family's guards and shouted, "Crossbowmen, shoot!" ”
