Xu Wei carried a knife and strode on the bluestone road that ran through Xujiazhuang. At this time, although he still looked calm, he had no bottom in his heart. Although there were footsteps behind him, he couldn't guarantee how many people would follow. But at this time, it is not as effective to say a lot of rhetoric as it is to practice it.

I can't take care of it, damn it, there are only a few months before the Jin army goes south to destroy the Song Dynasty. Time is running out, if you want to confront the Jurchens on horseback, you can't rely on the official army, it is an army composed of criminals, robbers, and outcasts, and they are vulnerable!

The farmers on the side of the road, the lights are on, the houses are busy, and the adults are packing up and preparing to flee for their lives. The children had never encountered such a situation, and they were so frightened that they cried, and their parents, who were so beloved by them, had no idea how much they cared about them. Xu Wei stopped, picked up a little girl crying in the middle of the road, and just wanted to comfort her, but a peasant woman rushed out of the house, snatched the child, stared at him with disdain, turned back to the house, and closed the door heavily.

Yang Yan Matai took two quick steps and stood side by side with Xu Wei, the footsteps behind him became louder and louder......

When night falls, the full moon shines high, and the bright moonlight fills the wheat field; Take a hard breath and the aroma of earth and grain is intoxicating. That small river, in the moonlight, is like a silver belt, coupled with the chirping of cicadas and insects, and the gentle breeze, Xujiazhuang is really like a paradise.

Standing at the bridge, Xu Wei was thinking, how many people are willing to risk their lives to protect their beautiful homeland? When he looked back, the answer was in front of him.

The sword and spear glowed coldly in the moonlight, and hundreds of pairs of bright eyes looked at him. In these hundreds of eyes, there are fears, doubts, and confusions, and only a few people have a little excitement in their eyes.

Zhang Qing came to Xu Wei's side and whispered, "I hope you won't disappoint." After a pause, he added, "There were ninety-six people in total, and fifty-seven of them went, including Yongtou." ”

Xu Wei smiled and did not respond to him, but turned his gaze to the ninety-six villagers.

"I don't mean to say anything bold to motivate you, I only ask you to do one thing. Look at Xujiazhuang and see where our ancestors have lived for generations. The moon and stars are scarce, the small bridge is flowing water, and the paradise written in the book, Xujiazhuang is not worse than that. Now, a group of robbers are coming, and behind you are your family, your father, your wife, and if you take a step back, tonight, all this will be gone. Xu Wei said very casually, neither impassioned nor righteous. But this remark made many people's eyes flash and grit their teeth. Yes, the hard-working home must not be destroyed in the hands of others! The family business left by the ancestors must not be touched by thieves!

"I know you're worried, you're afraid, I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm the same!" Xu Wei patted his chest, "But I can't help it, dozens of steps away, there are my father, my sister-in-law, I don't stand up, what should they do?" It's too late to escape now, and there is no way back except for a desperate fight! It's all two shoulders and one head, he's ruthless, we're more ruthless than him! He is fierce, and we are more fierce than him! We want these bandits who do all kinds of evil to know that the martial name of Xujiazhuang is not blown out! We want them to know that the men in Xujiazhuang are all men with handles! ”

Yang Yan was so enthusiastic when he heard this, he almost crushed his teeth, ripped off his shirt, bare his shoulders, and shouted with a firewood knife: "Fight with the **** beast!" ”

"Fight!" The crowd erupted in an earth-shattering roar. The men of Xujiazhuang held the guys tightly and shouted loudly! The original fear is gone! Damn, I've practiced martial arts all my life, not to run away! Lao Tzu would rather expose the corpse in the wilderness than be a man with his head in his crotch!

"Xu Jiu, there is you! with you! ”

"Brother Jiu, let's talk about it, let's do it!"

"Jiulang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a crazy man......"

Just when the crowd was angry and morale was high, one person protested and asked: "Xu Jiu, I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain." There are 3,000 people on the other side, and we have less than 100 people, so what to fight? ”

Xu Wei didn't answer his words, but turned his head and stared at the giant spirit god-like Ma Tai. When the latter saw it, he suddenly became a little nervous, licked his dry lips, and stammered a little: "Nine, Brother Jiu, you say, brother do, sword mountain and sea of fire or something, I am not afraid!" ”

"Brother, the first contribution to Xujiazhuang is up to you." Xu Wei dodged and pointed to the only wooden bridge over the river, "Cut it!" ”

What are the people doing when they cut the bridge? Many fields in the village are on the other side of the river, and the bridge has been cut, how will the river be crossed in the future?

Yang Yan blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother Jiu, what a dignified ......" At this point, he suddenly shouted, "That's right!" If you cut the bridge, the thieves won't be able to cross! "This dare is good, there is no need to fight at all, the thief can only look at the other side of the river!

"There are thousands of people on the other side, and it is not troublesome to build a bridge, Xu Jiu This is a delaying tactic to delay the other party's entry into the village." Zhang Qing said.

Mattei didn't say much, spit into the palm of his hand, picked up the half-man-high plate axe, raised it high, roared, and slashed down at the bridge pile! The sturdy wooden bridge shook for a while, and many people changed their faces, how could Ma Er have such strength? When Mattei's second axe fell, the wooden bridge collapsed into the water, making a high splash.

Yang Yan looked at Ma Tai with some jealousy, and the first effort was to let this fat man snatch it. When he was depressed, he heard Xu Wei say: "Yang Yan, you take twenty people, from the east of the village to the west of the village, and rush to the mountains door to door, don't let them bring anything, time is life." ”

When Yang Yan heard this, the boss was not happy, and he originally wanted to kill the thief, how could he send me to maintain order? Isn't that overkill?

"Only you can hold back." Zhang Qing reluctantly added. As soon as the words came out, Yang Yan had already rushed away, and after a while, the sound of gongs in the village was heard, and Yang Yan's voice came from afar, "The thief is coming, escape up the mountain!" It's too late to die! Anyway, if you are killed, if you don't go, I will stab your whole family! ”

"Xu Jiu, what should I do next?" Someone asked.

Xu Wei looked at Xujiazhuang in the night, and said something that shocked everyone: "Go to the village and set fire." ”

At the same time, Xujiazhuang, which was originally a chicken flying and a dog jumping, returned to calm, and the entire Zhuangzi was dead silent, and there was no half of a figure. Even the usually noisy watchdog cowered under the eaves and remained silent. The moon in the sky hid into the clouds, as if it had a premonition that something was about to happen.

Suddenly! A few points of fire jumped up in the village, gradually becoming a raging momentum. In a short time, from the east of the village to the west of the village, Xujiazhuang seemed to be swallowed by a sea of fire. The raging fire reflected the sky in a strange blood-red color.

At this moment, on the other side of the small river outside Xujiazhuang, the sound of rapid horses' hooves came from far and near. In the night, 100 horsemen galloped in! Behind them, a dark curtain swept in. Horses, snorting, people, panting, thousands of killing intent eyes all cast on Xujiazhuang in the fire.

He rode to the river, grabbed the reins, and kept paddling his hooves. The man on horseback, thirty miles away, wore an iron helmet, wore a mountain armor, carried a spear, had a thin face, a very high nose, and his eyes were deeply sunken, and his wolf-like eyes shone with a vicious light.

Then he rode to his side, and the man on the horse was about fifty years old, but he was dressed as a monk, and wore a light tunic and a scarf. Looking at Xujiazhuang, which was in flames, he frowned. Zhao Da and Zhu Hu have not returned yet, I don't know whether they are alive or dead, this person in Xujiazhuang is hard, and he would rather burn it himself than let us get a penny, which is really hateful!

The man with the spear turned his head and saw the scribe's gloomy face, and laughed: "Sir, don't be angry, this country and wild place are full of village women, and they can't be seen. To break through Xia Jin, the little ladies with their own fine skin and tender meat are for Mr. to enjoy! ”

After hearing this, the scribe also smiled and said: "Brother Hugh said, the day before yesterday, when Wucheng County was broken, wasn't the bride who was worshipping the church also made half dead by her brother?" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed wildly, listening to the thousands of thieves who were so horny that they swallowed their spit, and Baba was waiting to break through Xia Jin and have a good time. Thinking about it like this, my heart is even more anxious, looking forward to the two village owners quickly ordering to go straight to Xiajin! Silver with white flowers, white and tender breasts!

"Huh?" The scribe suddenly screamed.

"How?" The spear-wielding man asked.

"Isn't it that I'm dazzled? Fang Ming obviously saw a little fire flashing on the mountain behind Xujiazhuang? The scribe squinted, puzzled.

The bandit leader with the spear looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything unusual, and urged: "I think it's Mr. Yuhuo who burned his body, had a vision, and went ......."

"Nope! This Xujiazhuang must be fraudulent! Brother, and divide me with 500 elite soldiers, if there is no accident, follow immediately. If there is a ......," the scribe stroked his short beard, and a sinister smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

The bandit leader pondered, this time to go to Xiajin to attack the city, it is the time to use troops, and it is not possible to take away 500. After thinking about it, he left two hundred foot soldiers, and put the only one hundred horsemen under his command, and it was not necessary to attack the city anyway. After the deployment was completed, the spear-wielding bandit leader led the thief army to pounce on Xia Jin, and the scribe immediately ordered the bridge to be rebuilt.

The wooden bridge was only cut down, not burned. It was not troublesome to erect it heavily, and seven or eight thieves who knew how to water went down to the river, and it took less than half a meal to rebuild the bridge. One hundred cavalry crossed the river first, and went straight to the village, and the two hundred foot soldiers with spears and knives also rushed to the village. In their hearts, they all read Xiajin County, as for this Xujiazhuang, they followed the meaning of the three village masters, and went through the motions.

There is a saying that "unintentionally inserts willows and willows", the cavalry who was running at the forefront suddenly saw that several people rushed out of Xujiazhuang, all carrying burdens, and fixed their eyes to see that one of them was still a woman with flowers and branches! When I saw them, I screamed in fright and fled to the village!

"Brethren! Rush into the village! ”
