It was really a fire dragon, but when I saw a few miles away from the county seat, the dense firelight formed a long dragon, which came straight to Xiajin with a winding and circling momentum, and it stretched for two miles before and after! The smile on Liang Heng's face condensed, he knew that this would definitely not be the official army of the imperial court, could it be the reserve force of the thieves?

Thinking of this, I knew that Xia Jin would fall later, so why stay on this city tower and wait for death? Let's hurry up and prepare for the back road. made up his mind, quietly retreated from the city tower, and the subordinates behind him shouted loudly to ignore him, and threw himself into the alley. The chaotic people on the street saw that the county lieutenant was in a hurry, and they didn't know why, and rumors suddenly spread.

Outside the city, Xu Sheng and a group of village soldiers were already under siege. With their strong martial arts, they are fighting against the enemy, but there are too many thieves, and they are tired. At this time, the gate behind it was closed again, and there seemed to be no way back except for death.

Xu Sheng rode a horse, the target was the most obvious, he was dressed in military uniform, and the thieves knew that he must be an officer of the imperial court, so they stepped forward desperately to try to win this credit. The big knife in his hand became heavier and heavier, and the wound on his waist and ribs was bleeding nonstop, and he didn't know how long he could hold on.

"If my ninth brother is here, why are you afraid of this mere thief?"

A mother's compatriot, Xu Sheng knows his younger brother better than his father, that kid is born with martial arts, and he has learned his father's skills before he reaches adulthood, and he is not inferior to himself. What's even more rare is that Xu Wei is not only very brave, but also has excellent endurance, and can carry dozens of catties without eating or drinking, running from Xujiazhuang to Wucheng County. But the poor brother, who had just recovered from a serious illness, picked up a life, and was ...... again

Suddenly! Xu Sheng's tall body fell off the horse's back! It turned out that the war horse was already old, and he was tired for several days, and he couldn't drive it, and the horse lost its front hooves! When the besieging thieves saw it, they were overjoyed, and their long and short weapons beckoned together! Xu Sheng was about to die on the spot!

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone in the thief formation shouting: "Not good! The officers and soldiers are coming! ”

Hearing this, many thieves looked around! Really! To the southeast, a fiery dragon swooped down. These robbers could see at a glance that they were countless torches! Just by looking at it, it can be concluded that there are more than 3,000 people! Almost all of our people and horses in Qianniu Mountain are here, in addition to the officials and soldiers, who else will it be?

These thieves have a characteristic in their wars, they only fight with the wind, and once they are defeated or stalemate, they will immediately retreat. Attacking Wucheng County tonight was not smooth, and many people had the idea of retreating. At this time, seeing that a large number of reinforcements from the government were coming, and there was no one to lead the overall situation, why not escape?

Besides, Xu Sheng had experienced the Song-Liao War and had rich experience in actual combat, and after falling off the horse, he clung to his weapon. A knife forced away the close-quarters thief, turned over and jumped up, just as the last fight! I suddenly found that the thieves who besieged me were all running backwards? Not only them, but all the thieves besieging Xia Jin were fleeing, but they did not run to the east.

"Reinforcements are coming!" At the head of the city, the exhausted village soldiers spread in all directions, and the people in the city also thundered with joy! After resisting hard for several hours, it seems that it will not be able to support it, and at this time, the reinforcements arrive, what can be more exciting than a long drought and a rainy day?

Xu Sheng couldn't be happy, he knew that this was definitely not reinforcements. In all states and counties, only the Daimyo's Mansion has a forbidden army stationed in the imperial court, so who is it from the southeast? Looking at this formation, I am afraid that there are three or four thousand people. Don't......

A trace of despair rose in his heart, could it be another thief?

"Damn! Catch up and kill all the brutes! "The township soldiers of Xujiazhuang issued an initiative, and they immediately responded to their peers.

Xu Sheng slashed his knife horizontally and said loudly: "No, don't chase after you!" Hurry back to the city! ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of Xujiazhuang Township were full of mist and strained? What else has changed? The thief had already escaped with his tail between his legs!

As soon as he entered the city, Xu Sheng hurriedly looked for the county lieutenant Liang Heng to discuss major matters, but he was nowhere to be found, and there was a report from the yamen officer, saying that the county lieutenant Liang had quietly descended to the city tower and did not know where to go. Gritting his teeth, Xu Sheng passed on the military order, guarded the city gates everywhere, and waited for the battle! He climbed the tower and looked out from afar.

The group of men and horses, who had not been long in coming, rushed out of the city, and rode first to the city gates, and one of them shouted upstairs, "Open the door!" ”

"Who are you waiting for? Dare to gather ......," the defenders at the head of the city asked in protest.

"Master is Yang Yan of Xujiazhuang, on the order of my ninth brother, I came to help the county! Open the door! The young man in the city replied loudly.

"Which way is your ninth brother?" The city asked again.

"Hear me! My ninth brother is Xu Wei, who is known as the tiger of Xujiazhuang and the little overlord of Xiajin! The ninth child of the Xu family! ”

On the city tower, Xu Sheng saw it really and heard it clearly! The kid who replied in the city was Yang Yan! In ecstasy, he hurriedly called: "Yang Yan! How is Xujiazhuang? Where is my ninth brother? ”

Yang Yan was shirtless, carrying a firewood knife with a rolled mouth, and saw an officer leaning out from the city tower, who was it not Xu Sheng? hurriedly replied: "Fourth Brother Xu! There is no in Xujiazhuang! Nine brothers, nine brothers! Hey, Zhang Qing, what about Brother Jiu? ”

Zhang Qing looked around, but he didn't find Xu Wei's figure, and when he was puzzled, he saw Xu Wei surrounded by a large group of people.

Xu Sheng in the city saw that among the group of people, a young man was wearing armor, holding a broken knife, walking majesticly. He walked all the way to the bottom of the city, raised his head, and smiled before he spoke. Who buries the child? A face is full of bloodstains, except for those eyes and white teeth, I can't see the true face!

"Fourth brother, I'm here."

God pity! It's really my ninth brother! What a muddy boy! Xu Sheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the door!" With that, he threw the big knife to his subordinates, and strode downstairs in a few strides to meet Xu Wei who was entering the city. From head to toe, and from foot to head, I looked at my brother like this, and I was happy, surprised, and sad, and all kinds of emotions came to my heart, and without saying a word, a bear hugged the past!

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, why am I so recruited today? Who wants to hug me when they see me?

"Lao Jiu, how are you ......" too many questions lingered in his head, and Xu Sheng didn't know where to start for a while.

Zhang Qing next to him smiled and said, "Fourth Brother Xu, this is a long story......

Before he finished speaking, Yang Yan suddenly raised the broken firewood knife and roared: "Tonight, we have saved Xujiazhuang!" Saved Xiajin County! I ask you, who inspires us? Who leads us? ”

"Xu Wei! Xu Wei! Xu Wei! The sudden outburst of cries resounded throughout Xiajin City! Xu Wei used his courage and courage to wash away dozens of infamy such as "-stirring stick", "harmful spirit" and "ruined son"! Won everyone's respect!

The people in the county town who don't know the truth hear someone shouting "Xu Wei", and their first reaction is, what? Xu Jiu fell into the grass? He did what happened tonight?

Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, the surprise in his heart was indescribable, what? Was it my ninth brother who led Xujiazhuang to resist the thieves? This, how is this possible? He's my brother, I don't know how many pounds he weighs? Can he do such a vigorous thing? Impossible, absolutely impossible, is it a dream?

Zhang Qing saw that he looked suspicious, so he concisely recounted the matter from beginning to end. Boss Yang Yan was not happy, and added branches and leaves, oil and vinegar to Xu Wei's "heroic deeds", and told it in a colorful way, hating to describe Xu Wei as Zhuge Liang alive and Guan Yunchang reborn.

Xu Sheng was stunned for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "The ancestors are blessed, and the family is very fortunate to ......."

"Fourth brother, don't listen to Yang Yan's fooling, it's not so godly. Besides, if it weren't for the sincere unity of Xujiazhuang's father and brothers, what could I do alone? Speaking of reinforcing the county seat, I have to thank Zhang Qing, if he hadn't come up with this method of cross torches, how could he scare off the thieves? Xu Wei said with a smile. It turned out that Zhang Qing understood Xu Wei's sentence "What if we have more than dozens of people?" The meaning of Xujiazhuang came up with the idea of letting each person in Xujiazhuang hold two special "cross torches", in addition to the one that holds the hand, light the other three heads, so that one person is equal to six people. From a distance, hundreds of men, women, and children in Xujiazhuang have become thousands of troops.

When Xu Sheng heard this, he was both surprised and delighted, looked at the few bloody boys in front of him, and said with emotion: "You are all good!" They are all good sons and daughters of Xujiazhuang! ”

When the first rays of dawn shone into Xiajin Castle, this small prefecture under the rule of the Daimyo Mansion had already returned to peace. The people of the city spontaneously organized, buried the corpses of the thieves, collected the fallen warriors, and cleaned up the battlefield.

In this operation, counting the more than 200 people annihilated in Xujiazhuang, a total of more than 500 thieves were eliminated and 73 people were captured. In Xiajin County, more than 300 township soldiers were killed, of which 35 were killed in Xujiazhuang.

This result can be described as brilliant for the village soldiers who have never received military training!

At the gate of Xiajin City, two columns of forbidden soldiers with distinct armor on the left and right stood majestically and upright. But no matter how powerful the military posture is, in exchange for it is only a secret scolding in the hearts of the people. Bag! We're all done, you thieves have just arrived, it's up to you, Xia Jin has already stopped fucking food!

A carriage stopped at the gate of the city in a hurry, and a tall, heroic-looking old man, with a cane in his hand, got out of the carriage. Several sturdy men supported him and came into the city. Seeing that he was so "trusted", a deputy head in charge of guarding the city gate deliberately made it difficult, blocked the way, and shouted with a knife: "Who is coming?" ”

The old man didn't answer, he didn't even look at him, and his head was just about to attack, so he heard a man beside the old man reply: "This is Mrs. Xu." ”

Mrs. Xu? Haven't heard of it! There are no characters in this poor country, presumably ...... Slow, what's the matter, surname Xu? This has to be asked, nowadays, the word "Xu" has a special weight in Xia Jin.

"By asking, who is the commander of Xu Si in the army?" The deputy head asked.

"That's the eldest son of the Taigong." The man replied.

The deputy capital head was secretly taken aback, and asked again: "Dare to ask, who is Xu Wei Xu Jiulang, who is known as the Tiger of Xia Jin?" ”
