Chapter 096: Xie Dashao's Fire Brigades (Middle)

Xie Zuo led the Beiwei warriors, and turned around and ran away as soon as he noticed the bandits' movements. Although his obsession with extinguishing the torch is very strong, it does not mean that he is willing to trap himself in it. Xie Zuo's ultimate goal is to preserve Xie Mansion, and the meaning of Xie Mansion's existence is itself. Even if you are gone, what's the point of doing your best to protect Xie Mansion? Of course, Xie Zuo will not be so stupid, although it is important to extinguish fires, but his own safety must be put first.

However, Xie Zuo did not lead the team to run too far, and slowed down less than 100 meters away from the bandits' main formation. There is a very shallow dry ditch here, although it has not been for a long time, but this small piece of terrain in front of the gate of Xie Mansion is still known. Xie Zuo asked the giant shield warrior to throw all the torches he was holding into the dry ditch, and then all the personnel worked together to shovel up the floating soil in the ditch and cover it on the torches that were still burning.

Soon, they were done with the job at hand. Although the torch has not been completely extinguished, after all, it is still far away, and the dry ditch itself is nearly a meter deep, Xie Zuo's main purpose is just not to let people find out, and it is almost enough to do this. So he turned around without pause, went back the way he came, and quietly approached the bandit brigade again under the cover of night.

When they sneak back to their original locations, the pursuing bandits will return to their roots. Because no one would have thought that the sneak attacker who had just fled in a panic like a rabbit would return so quickly, most of them were still in a state of turning their backs to Xie Zuo and the others, and they exchanged doubts in their hearts in small voices, and no one thought to take a look at the night.

Golden opportunity! Xie Zuo, who had been paying close attention, lit up. Now that you've decided to take the risk of putting out a fire, it's not a good habit to give up halfway. Xie Zuo stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the twelve back warriors rushed out of the darkness without hesitation, cleanly exercising the function of starting and continuing the transmission, and tirelessly continuing their unfinished work!

It wasn't until Xie Zuo's team had cleared a round of torches and strode forward that the bandits gradually discovered this strange team emerging from the darkness.

At this time, there is no need to ask the big boss again, and if you ask for the same instruction twice, it is not discipline, but a stupid hat. However, the bandit was suddenly embarrassed to find that he was in another trouble.

From the appearance of Xie Zuo's team, the first thing that was discovered was naturally the part that was at the forefront of the team. In the same way, it is the same small group of people who ask the big boss and get orders. It stands to reason that the task of chasing down or driving away the sneak attackers should still fall on them. However, at this time, Xie Zuo's team had already run through the middle of the team and went straight to the back of the team, and the chasing bandits in the front were actually the farthest part of the distance. This one...... Who's going to do it?

After such a hesitation, Xie Zuo's team had already completed the second round of carrot pulling and started the third round of operations. At this time, the bandits finally made a decision: the original team will still take action until the task is completed!

As a result, the pursuing bandits who had just returned to their own formation had no choice but to come out again, clamoring to kill Xie Zuo's team. It's just that compared to the previous one, the current shout is somewhat weak.

This is not surprising either. By the time they started the pursuit, they were already almost twenty paces away from the sneak attacker, and no one thought that they would easily catch up with the other party in a short period of time if they were pursuing in the same direction. Besides, even if you catch up, what can you do? The opponent is a guy who runs faster than a rabbit, and when the time comes, he will turn around and slip into the darkness, won't he be caught in the tangle of chasing or not chasing again?

And that's exactly what happened. Xie Zuo's team didn't slow down at all while pulling the turnips, it wasn't too difficult for Xie Zuo to do this, as long as his consciousness could keep up, the back warriors would definitely be able to do it! And it seems to be very difficult to control twelve people at the same time, in fact, except for the giant shield, everyone else is a repetitive mechanical action, which does not require too much energy at all, compared to controlling three completely different behaviors at the same time on the mountain road, it is much simpler.

In this way, on the originally depressing and dignified battlefield, there was a rather comic scene: more than a dozen people rubbed the outer edge of the large phalanx, pulling out the torches on the ground like turnips while running; Behind him, a large group of people desperately chased after him, but there was still a long way to go; As for the bandits who were already standing closer to the flanks, most of them watched the excitement coldly, and even some good deeds kept cheering...... As for which side he was applauding, only God knows!

In this strange atmosphere, Xie Zuo and his party penetrated the entire flank of the bandit phalanx without hindrance and came to the rear of the bandits!

The bandit is said to be a phalanx, but it is actually an irregular rectangle. The horizontal plane facing Xie Fu is more than 100 steps wide, but the longitudinal length is only about 80 steps. Because the formation is arranged after gathering, the place where the torches are placed is not consistent with the phalanx, and it is a semicircle roughly centered on the main gate of Xie Fu. Of course, the semicircle did not exactly match the phalanx, which caused the torches on the flanks to be closer to the bandits, only five or six paces away, while the torches directly behind were a little farther away, more than ten paces away.

Therefore, when Xie Zuo's team crossed the flank, there was almost a flat river in front of them, and the nearest bandits were all ten steps away, and there was no existence that could hinder them from continuing to complete the great and sacred mission of pulling carrots!

As a result, within more than 100 steps of the horizontal plane in the rear, although the distance was farther than the side, Xie Zuo's team completed the task faster and more efficiently - after all, there was no need to worry about being attacked by people on the side all the time, and the natural movements were smooth without distractions. As for the bandits chasing behind, although the distance is indeed gradually getting closer, the starting line is twenty steps ahead, and it is not something that can be caught up in a short time.

As the torches at the back of the main formation were cut one by one, the next step was to bypass the other side of the main formation. The distance between the bandits and the torches on one side was about the same as on the other side, and it was only a few steps apart. Similarly, if you are fast and free of bandits, you can easily accomplish the feat of sweeping away all the torches in one fell swoop - after all, two-thirds of the way has been done, there's no reason to fall in the last third of the way, right?

However, what Xie Zuo didn't know was that their actions had already attracted the attention of the bandit leader. Originally, at the beginning, the sneak attack of Xie Zuo's team was just a disease of ringworm for the big boss. In the face of his own brigade of 200 people, what can a sneak attacker in his early 10s do? It's a lot of harassment and tension, but it's really not worth mentioning. For him, the real trouble is the Xie family compound itself. The boss has a turtle shell, and it has thorns, and the attack is damaged by the soldiers, and the time to surround it is insufficient, which is indeed quite a headache.

However, with the strange behavior of Xie Zuo and his party, it gradually attracted the attention of the big boss.
