Chapter Seventy-One: The Mandarin Duck Array Mighty

The bandits noticed the anomaly behind them and began to panic, the encirclement loosened, and many bandits turned around and ran.

At this time, a rough voice sounded in the group of bandits: "Brothers, don't mess around! Stand back and line up! Whoever dares to run away, I cut him! ”

When the bandits heard his words, they seemed to have a backbone, and retreated more than ten meters like a tide, huddled together in a mess. The man who spoke did not show up, hiding in the crowd and giving orders, and the bandits gradually calmed down and began to have some order.

Zhao Zizhong looked at the door of the study and saw An Dalang standing there with a horse lance in his hand, his face grim. He was followed by five guards, and seven or eight heads were exposed on the wall of the study, which were guards to prevent the enemy from attacking over the wall.

There are more than a dozen people lying on the ground in front of An Dalang, some with different heads, some missing arms and legs, it is estimated that they are all An Dalang's handiwork. There were also a few people with crossbows stuck in their heads or throats, which should have been sniped by Zhai Xiaoshan.

Zhao Zizhong waved his hand and walked towards the door of the study with the mandarin duck array. He shouted as he walked, "Da Lang, I'm here!" Tell your people, don't attack! Because the Mandarin Duck Formation came out of the shadows, Zhao Zizhong was afraid that the guards would not be able to see clearly and attack his team by mistake.

An Dalang turned his head and saw Zhao Zizhong leading people approaching, and he was overjoyed. He shouted, "Brother, you're here!" I couldn't find you just now, and I was in a hurry! ”

Zhao Zizhong came to the door, ordered the Mandarin Duck Array to continue to approach the bandits, walked to An Dalang's side, and asked, "Brother, are you injured?" ”

An Dalang looked at the blood stains on his body and knew that Zhao Zizhong had misunderstood. He shook his head, "Brother, I'm fine, it's all the blood of the enemy." ”

"Da Lang, how is Cui Daoshu? Where did Boris and Big Ray go? ”

An Dalang touched the blood stains on his face, "The head of the family is fine, Li Jinyang took people to watch in the house." I asked Lao Bao and Da Lei to take more than 20 guards to protect the female dependents. ”

Zhao Zizhong looked at the chaotic team of bandits, "Who are they?" ”

An Dalang said contemptuously: "I asked, but if they don't say, they will kill people when they come up." But the strength of these bastards is too poor, just a rabble, just a larger number. ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "We can't give them a chance to breathe, and before they have finished the formation, I will lead people to attack from the front." You take your guards on the flanks and rush when you have the chance. Remember, don't fight, just hit and leave, and make sure that you miss a blow and run away immediately. And then attack repeatedly, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, understand? ”

An Dalang nodded, "I know, everyone come with me!" He led the guards to the side, leaving the open space in front of the door to Zhao Zizhong's team.

Zhao Zizhong looked at the roofs around him, and found that there was a glimmer of light on the roof in the northwest, which should be the reflection of the scope lens on the crossbow in Zhai Xiaoshan's hand. He made a few gestures in that direction, meaning to let Zhai Xiaoshan cover the mandarin duck formation and find an opportunity to shoot the bandit leader.

Zhao Zi saw that An Dalang had returned to his position, so he walked a few steps quickly and came to the back of the Mandarin Duck Formation. He shouted loudly: "Mandarin duck formation, attack!" ”

The two sword and shield men at the front of the Mandarin Duck Formation raised their shields and began to approach the bandits. Behind them, the wolf whirler held the wolf wreath, poked out the wolf whizz from the side of the sword and shield hand, and stabbed at the bandit with no relent.

Some of the bandits in the front row dodged the wolf, and some used weapons to block, and the team was chaotic in an instant. The wolf's hand turned into a stab, and the thick wolf's hand swept across the faces of the seven or eight bandits in the front row, and immediately put down four bandits, and the remaining few lost their weapons, covered their faces and howled.

The wolf thief immediately retreated, and four pikemen rushed up from behind, and the four spears stabbed out quickly, blood burst out, and the four bandits covering their faces were shot and fell to the ground, and they were not alive.

Zhao Zi shouted again: "Wolf hand, continue to attack!" ”

The wolf hand listened to the order, raised the big killing weapon in his hand and swept towards the bandits, some of the bandits rushed forward, some ran back, and the team was completely chaotic. The leaders of the crowd shouted as hard as they could, trying to maintain their formation, but many of them were frightened and began to slowly retreat.

Seeing this, An Dalang shouted and rushed towards the flank of the bandits, and the guards behind him followed one after another, raising their weapons to attack the bandits. An Dalang picked up the horse lance as he ran, drew an arc, and the lance swept past the necks of the three bandits, blood splattered, and the human head flew into the sky.

Several guards also launched an attack on the bandits' flanks, killing four of them. An Dalang shouted: "Withdraw!" He ran away with his guards.

The ranks of the bandits, under the blows of the two directions, became more and more disorganized. Seeing that the situation was no longer under control, the leader of the crowd shouted: "Brothers, go back and join the great master!" ”

The bandits turned around and ran, retreating in the direction of the main entrance of the Cui family's manor. A few were frightened, and a few injured knelt in place, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhao Zizhong stopped An Dalang, who wanted to pursue, and asked the guards to tie up the prisoners. He looked at An Dalang and said: "Brother Xian, we don't even know who the enemy is now, how many people there are, we can't be reckless, we must concentrate the strength in our hands, first protect ourselves, and then go to fight the bandits." ”

An Dalang thought for a while and called a guard, "You take two people to the back house to have a look, find Boris and Du Dalei, and ask them to bring all the female dependents to the study." ”

The guard agreed, found two familiar companions and walked in the direction of the back house. Zhao Zizhong pulled An Dalang and said: "Brother, you are now leading people to guard the study, and I will take the guards on the island to bring Jiang Wuniang and the children here, and then we will discuss what to do together." ”

An Dalang nodded in agreement, summoned the guards and retreated to the study, closing the door. Zhao Zizhong turned around and said, "Mandarin duck array, set off with me and pick up people together!" ”

He walked towards the courtyard where Jiang Wuniang lived, and the guards behind him lined up and followed him unhurriedly. A few minutes later, Zhao Zizhong came to the outside of the courtyard where the children lived.

In the distance, cries and begs for mercy could be heard from the other places where the Cui family lived, as well as the arrogant laughter of the bandits, and the screams of some people as they were dying. Zhao Zi was on top of his teeth, trying his best not to think about those human tragedies. He pushed open the courtyard door, ran to the door of the hut where the sundries were stored, and shouted loudly: "Jiang Niangzi, I'm Zhao Zizhong, I'm here to pick you up!" ”

He quickly removed the clutter piled up in front of the door, and several guards also came up to help, and quickly cleaned it up. Zhao Zizhong opened the door and walked in.

Jiang Wuniang was holding the puppy, her face was pale, and more than a dozen children next to her were huddled together, and some children were crying. Zhao Zizhong said softly: "Children, don't be afraid, I brought a lot of people to pick you out, now line up, let's go together!" ”

Zhao Zizhong walked up to Jiang Wuniang, took the puppy, and said with a smile: "Jiang Niangzi, it's okay now, let's go!" ”

Jiang Wuniang settled down and began to direct the children to line up. After a while, a dozen children lined up in two columns. They all stood obediently, and no one spoke. Zhao Zizhong waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

He walked out of the courtyard with the children, and the guards lined up on the outside of the children, protecting the children in the middle. Everyone walked in the direction of Cui Daoshu's study. Halfway through, Zhao Zizhong found a group of people walking in front of him with torches, and they were in the same direction.

He shouted, "Who is in front?" I'm Zhao Zizhong. ”

"It's the boss, I'm the big thunder!" Du Dalei's voice came from the front, revealing a hint of surprise.

Zhao Zizhong hurried to catch up, and the team in front stopped. Du Dalei and Boris came out of the crowd, their clothes torn in many places and covered in blood.

Zhao Zizhong asked with concern: "How is it, is the injury serious?" ”

Du Dalei said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's all skin injuries." On the way, we encountered a few thieves, and Lao Bao and I solved them. ”

Zhao Zizhong asked again: "Have the ladies all taken out?" ”

"There are a lot of them, all in front."

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, "Let's go immediately and go to Cui Daoshu's study." ”

The two groups gathered together and marched towards the study. Zhao Zizhong walked to the front of the team and saw Shen and Cui Xiaoniang supporting a middle-aged woman, presumably Cui Daoshu's mother.

He ran a few steps and caught up with a few people. Zhao Zi bowed heavily, "But the old lady in person?" Under Zhao Zizhong, I greet you. ”

The middle-aged woman looked at Shen with a puzzled look. Shen said softly: "Mother, this is Mr. Zhao, he is the sworn brother of his husband, and he is talented, the last time our family's merchant ship was attacked at sea, it was Mr. Zhao who rescued him with a few brothers. ”

The old lady's face softened, revealing a hint of a smile, she stretched out her hand to help, "Mr. Zhao doesn't have to be polite, everyone is a family, you can call the old man 'aunt'." ”

Zhao Zizhong said a few polite words, and then said: "Auntie, let's hurry up to the study, it's safe there." When the ladies are settled, I will attack with the guards, and I must drive this gang of bandits out of the Cui family manor! ”

Cui Daoshu's mother nodded and said kindly: "Then please, let's go quickly, and save yourself from dragging your back." ”

Zhao Zizhong quickened his pace, walked to the front of the team, and led the guards towards the study. A few minutes later, the team walked to the door of the study. Zhao Zizhong shouted loudly: "Da Lang, open the door quickly!" I'm Zhao Zizhong. ”

The door opened, and An Dalang walked out with a horse lance. He got out of the way and let the ladies go in first. Cui Xiaoniang was the first to run in, he wanted to see his brother early.

Shen helped Mrs. Cui, saw An Dalang covered in blood, and asked with concern, "Dalang, where did you get hurt?" Does it matter? ”

An Dalang replied respectfully: "Mrs. Xie cares, I am not injured, it is the blood of the enemy." If they want to hurt me, they have to practice for ten or eight years! ”
