Chapter 46: The Siege
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the people of Peach Blossom Village, usually Peach Blossom Village has no grievances with a few people, I don't know what you are going to do around us?" Qi Liu patiently asked the leading bandit leader.
The bandit leader glanced at Qi Liu with disdain, and said arrogantly: "Peach Blossom Village? I haven't heard of this kind of unpopular cottage before, what are you going to do around you? Of course, it's your dog's life. ”
Qi Liu's face was pale, the other party had more than 700 people, and his own side was only more than 30 people, and there was a huge difference in strength, he deliberately wanted to delay time, and continued: "Please let me wait for death to understand, which cottage are you from?" ”
The leading bandit leader laughed and said, "Which cottage can you ask?" But for the sake of your imminent death, it doesn't matter if you tell you, have you heard of Qingyun Village in Mangdang Mountain. ”
"Qingyun Village!" Qi Liu's forehead began to sweat, Mangdang Mountain is a steep mountain range in the vertical and horizontal mountain range, this mountain range is not only steep, but also has countless vicious bandits, among which the bandits in Qingyun Village are the most vicious.
The entourage next to the bandit leader whispered: "Three masters, I heard the owner of the peach blossom village say that it seems to be a newly developed village recently, and it is said that this peach blossom village also has cavalry during this time." ”
"Oh?" A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the bandit leader, and he muttered: "I didn't expect that there were cavalry in such an unknown cottage, and it was a pity that those war horses remained in this kind of village." ”
His voice was not loud, but Qi Liu heard the meaning of his words.
"The third master, I heard that the owner of this peach blossom village once single-handedly killed Jia Lao Er, but he still has some skills."
The bandit leader was slightly stunned and said, "Second Jia? Could it be that Jia Lao Er, who is good at skinning people in White Tiger Village? ”
His entourage nodded and said, "It's Jia Lao Er of White Tiger Village." ”
When the bandit leader heard this, he sneered, "Although the second Jia is vicious, his martial arts are commonplace, and if he can kill him, he doesn't necessarily have much ability from the owner of this peach blossom village." There are even cavalry, and since I have encountered them, there is no reason to let go of these war horses. ”
Qi Liu knew that he couldn't dodge, so he said viciously: "Rats, if we die here today, Peach Blossom Village will never let you go!" ”
The face of the bandit leader suddenly turned hideous, and he said angrily: "When death is imminent, you dare to be hard-mouthed, Lao Tzu will step on that peach blossom village sooner or later, and I will take you to sacrifice the flag first!" ”
With his order, more than 700 fierce bandits slaughtered Qi Liu and the others.
The cold wind gradually rose, and suddenly there was a smell of blood in the valley. In Wangjiazhuang, Wang Biao looked at the crowd with sharp eyes: "There are two things that called you over today. First, find out the bandits near the official road, and second, notify the Wang family's villages in various places tomorrow and summon all the owners to go to the Liu family to discuss matters. ”
"Brother." Wang Jin on the side suddenly said: "Do you want to inform your ......father of this matter?"
"No, you don't." Wang Biao said with a cold expression: "My father is old, and he is timid in doing things, only knowing the immediate interests, and ignoring the gains and losses behind him. This time, the head of the Liu family died on the official road, and the court had to give an explanation to the people of Shangjun County. ”
"Besides...... This is also an opportunity to expand our capabilities. A cold light flashed in Wang Biao's eyes.
Wang Biao believes that it will not be long before the government will issue an order to suppress bandits, as long as the bandits can win the favor of the county order, they will also rely on the position of the head of the Wang family in the future.
The Liu family is the head of the local heroes, and the killing of the head of the family is a great shame for them, this period is the most sensitive period for the Liu family, even Xu Da does not dare to offend them at this time. The Liu family asked the local powerful forces to go to the meeting, and it was not ruled out that there was a sense of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger or tempting.
If the Wang family doesn't make a gesture and send someone forward, I'm afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the Liu family, and the gains outweigh the losses.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Biao decided to make his own decision and take the other village owners of the Wang family to the Liu family to discuss matters together.
It was dark, but the peach blossom village fell into a haze.
There was an army of more than 700 people stationed thirty miles away from Taohua Village, and there was no night to bring back some news, Qi Liu and others in order to delay this army, and the other party maneuvered, and was finally wiped out.
Thinking that the elite army would be folded in the hands of these people without collecting it at night, Su Yi was angry. And He Kui was even more angry, and threatened to kill him out of the city to avenge his friend.
However, Su Yi is still restrained, the other party has more than 300 cavalry, and in terms of field battles, Taohuazhai is not their opponent at present. Moreover, the opponent is equipped with elite equipment, and once it is killed out of the city, the loss of Taohuazhai is too great.
And the other party is obviously a little jealous of Peach Blossom Village, and does not dare to attack the city rashly.
The leading bandit leader is not like the original Qian Leopard, who is brave and unstrategic, and only knows how to rush and kill, regardless of the battlefield situation. They came in a hurry, and they didn't carry a lot of siege equipment, and when these bandits saw the high tower of the Peach Blossom Walled City, they also retreated in their hearts.
They never thought that such an obscure cottage would not lose to Qingyun Village in terms of defense, and even the city wall was taller than Qingyun Village, and the arrow tower was even denser.
The two sides confronted each other like this.
The day quickly wore out, and Scar proposed to take advantage of the night to lead the cavalry down the mountain for a surprise attack, but Su Yi refused.
The mountain below the peach blossom village is steep, which is not conducive to the cavalry rushing to kill, and the cavalry of the peach blossom village has just been formed, whether it is the experience of killing the enemy or the riding skills are not as good as the other party, once the enemy's more than 300 horsemen are entangled, it is difficult to withdraw to the cottage.
Gao Heihu and Qian Leopard and other hot-tempered generals couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to kill Xiangshan.
There are now more than 2,000 bandits in Taohuazhai, including more than 200 light cavalry, and the other party only has more than 700 people who dare to block the gate of Taohuazhai, which makes Gao Heihu and others unbearable no matter what.
If the Peach Blossom Village poured out of the nest and rushed down the mountain to kill, the other party's more than 700 people would definitely not be able to stop it, but Su Yi was not sure if there was an enemy ambush around.
And if he expected it to be good, the other party did not carry a large number of siege weapons, indicating that the siege of Taohuazhai was only a temporary intention, so the other party must not carry much grain and grass, and when the enemy ran out of grain and grass, it was not too late for Taohuazhai to send troops to chase and kill.
Seeing that the thieves in Peach Blossom Village were closed, the leading bandit leader was also helpless.
The thieves of Qingyun Village shouted and scolded at the foot of the mountain for two days, but Peach Blossom Village just shouldn't fight, and Su Yi even sent someone to scold back. The two sides were stuck for a few days, and the bandit soldiers in Qingyunzhai could no longer support it.
"The three masters, our food can't last a few days, and this peach blossom village seems to be a turtle with a shrunken head." The bandit leader's entourage said with a tired face.
The third master took a sip and said viciously: "These gutless bandits don't even have the courage to go out of the city to fight." It's just that this place is remote, if these people lived in Mangdang Mountain, they would have been wiped out long ago! ”
At night, a knight from Qingyun Village ran to the gate of Taohuazhai City and shouted loudly: "The three of us have said that we will spare you guts for the time being, and we will ...... in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Kui shot an arrow and hit him in the throat.
The knight's eyes widened, and he looked at the peach blossom village in disbelief, and fell off his horse with a bang.
