Chapter 094: Death and Life are all in one step
When the bandits first arrived in front of Xiefu, in order to free up their hands to attack without affecting the lighting, they inserted all the torches they carried into the outer circle of the formation. There was nothing wrong with this, but as the people from the Yu Mansion gradually approached, Xie Zuo suddenly realized a problem, a very fatal problem.
The torches in the outer ring, while restricting the range of the bandits' activities, are also equivalent to artificially creating a fence. And what separates the fence is precisely the upcoming Yu family and the thieves in the circle. When the Yu family rushed to the front and saw the separated torches, as long as they were not brain-dead to the point of idiocy, it was inevitable to take a closer look.
When the time comes, take a look through the firelight, yo! Which way did the Xie family provoke the immortals again, why did they fight? This dare is good, but it saves a lot of effort, and I am watching the play with melon seeds on the side, not to mention how comfortable it is!
And this is exactly the scene that Xie Zuo doesn't want to see the most. In the old butler's scheme, the first key is chaos. Under the cover of the night, both sides thought that the other party was invited by the Xie family to help with the fist, and the two sides beat each other in the chaos, which allowed the Xie family to fish in troubled waters and benefit from it. If the two sides can't fight, it will naturally be of no benefit to the Xie family, not only will it not be a charcoal in the snow, but it will make it worse. A row of torches that couldn't be simpler divided the hopes of the Xie family into two distinct endings, and all the hard work paid in the early stage was also in vain, how could Xie Zuo accept it?
The flame of hope that had just been raised was extinguished again in an instant, and this tormented feeling of gaining and losing can be imagined. Because he stood high and saw far away, he was the only one who discovered the arrival of the Yu family on the entire battlefield for the time being. But as time goes on, it is only a matter of time before Yu and the thief discover each other's existence. At that time, whether the two sides work together to take Xie Mansion, or one side attacks the other side to watch from the sidelines, it is not the result that Xie Zuo hopes to see.
It's ridiculous to say that all this was caused by a row of torches that looked like they were crumbling by the mountain wind and could be extinguished at any moment! Damn, why didn't you think of this earlier?
Looking at the approaching team of the Yu family, and then at the eager thieves, and the torch fence separating the two, Xie Zuo gritted his teeth fiercely, and finally made a difficult decision.
Xie Zuo jumped down the rock, ordered all the Beiwei warriors to assemble in his mind, and then lined up and quickly descended the mountain along the only mountain path. As for the surrendering bandits who are powerless to resist - who cares if they die at this time?
Xie Zuo walked at the end of the line, walking quickly while reliving his thoughts in his mind. His plan was simple: while no one was looking, he would lead his warriors to extinguish all the torches with lightning speed!
This is also the only way that Xie Zuo can think of when he has no choice but to do so. The advantages of this are twofold: first, the use of torches as a target will not unduly arouse the vigilance of the bandits and avoid encountering a large-scale counterattack; Second, because the torch ring is still a short distance away from the bandits' main formation, if the speed is fast enough, it may be able to achieve something in one fell swoop!
Of course, this is also not a small risk. After all, the purpose of the torch is to illuminate, and the bandit will definitely not be inserted too far, and it will not look like ten steps, and this distance can be face-to-face with just one charge. If you want to rely on these castrated version of the back warriors to protect yourself under the siege of hundreds of bandits, you can only do it YY.
Fortunately, although the Warrior has been severely reduced in terms of strength, accuracy, and other abilities directly related to combat, there is not much difference between them and ordinary people in terms of speed. It's just that the work Xie Zuo is going to do now really has little to do with the battle, it's just a fire, do you need strength? And this is also an important factor for Xie Zuo to dare to give it a go.
Running at full speed on the rugged mountain road, the mountain wind whistling past me. Xie Zuo stumbled and almost fell several times, but it was only by holding on to the soldiers around him that he did not perform flying down. Strange to say, though, the Beiwei warriors are not only not slow, but even their balance is amazingly good, and it is amazing to see that they can still maintain their formation while galloping down the bumpy mountain road.
Relying on the amazing balance ability of the Beiwei warriors, Xie Zuo and his party came to the foot of the mountain without danger. It was still twenty or thirty paces away from the frontal battlefield, and the bandits did not have guards on the main road down the mountain. Think about it, just with the three or two cats in Xie Mansion, the defense of the frontal battlefield is not enough, where can we divide the extra manpower to sneak attack from the back mountain? Speaking of which, the bandits arranged for nearly twenty people to plan to raid from the cliff in the back mountain, which is already quite worthy of the Xie family, let alone arranging people to defend at the foot of the mountain.
Although there were some of the thieves who had slipped through the net in the back mountain, they must have reported Xie Zuo's situation to the thief chieftain, but after all, the time was still short, and it was impossible to dispatch people for a while, which gave Xie Zuo and his party an opportunity.
Under the cover of the night, Xie Zuo led the Beiwei soldiers to advance quietly. From the exit of the back mountain, go east for about ten steps, and there is the side wall of the Xie Fu compound. Because of the narrow terrain here, neither the offensive and defensive sides have arranged manpower here, but it seems that this place is extremely quiet. Sticking to the side wall, we soon approached the corner of the courtyard wall.
Once here, there is no place to hide any further. One step out, whether Xie Fu can still exist after tonight depends on whether Xie Zuo can successfully complete the task. It can be said that life and death are all in one step!
Taking a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Xie Zuo pointed his hand, and a group of thirteen mermaids rushed out, quickly and resolutely pounced on their set goal.
From the beginning of the corner, to the nearest torch, there is only less than twenty meters away. Xie Zuo felt that his heart was beating faster than Uncle Jayron's words, and the muscles in his whole body were so tense that they were almost knotted, and it was difficult to even breathe smoothly, so he could only open his mouth wide and inhale desperately. And at this moment, there was only a flickering flame in his eyes, like the bewitching waist of an Egyptian dancer, which attracted all his attention.
Thirty meters, twenty meters...... Five-meter, three-meter...... The distance was getting closer, and the flames were already within reach, and the bandits didn't even react at this point. Success is just around the corner!
In fact, Xie Zuo overlooked one thing. They raided the torches from the opposite direction of the bandits' main formation, and there was actually a wall of fire between them. If there is an extremely bright presence between a person's line of sight and an object, such as a torch, the object behind the torch will never be noticed in the field of vision. Therefore, in fact, because of the existence of the torch fence, the actions of Xie Zuo and his party did not attract anyone's attention at all. Such an obvious truth, because of excessive nervousness, made Xie Zuo completely ignore the past!
Of course, it doesn't make much difference if you don't ignore it, because the warrior who took the lead has already reached the first torch.
