Chapter 54: Night Attack
In the middle of the night, Li Ce was awakened by a noisy sound, crying, shouting, scolding, rolling and crashing of things and utensils, all kinds of sounds mixed together were extremely chaotic, especially the miserable cries of the people, which was particularly harsh at night!
Isn't it a change in the people?! Li Ce was in a hurry, hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out.
When I went out, I saw a sea of fire outside, and the originally dark night was illuminated as if it were day. Li Ce was shocked, only to see a group of black-clothed men holding big knives across horses, looting everywhere, many Song soldiers had already fought with them, and the people fled in panic crying and shouting.
At this time, Chen Yaozuo had also put on his clothes and left the big tent, and the sudden situation in front of him made him furious, and he shouted angrily: What's the matter?!
"My lord, the mountain bandits raid and steal food at night! It has already hurt a lot of people. A Song soldier reported urgently.
"What?! Mountain bandits? Chen Yaozuo couldn't believe his ears, the mountain bandits dared to openly grab food in front of the officers and soldiers, it was simply ridiculous!
This group of mountain bandits obviously came prepared, and the officers and soldiers were a little caught off guard when they responded to the battle in a hurry, and the weapons commonly used by the officers and soldiers were spears, bows and arrows, and this kind of weapon was suitable for positional warfare, and hand-to-hand combat was not as flexible as the mountain bandits' broadsword.
Chen Yaozuo is worthy of being battle-hardened for a long time, and he quickly saw the problem, not that the officers and soldiers could not defeat the mountain bandits, but that the chaotic people greatly restricted the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers. The top priority at the moment is to evacuate the people as soon as possible, as long as the people are evacuated, then these three or five hundred mountain bandits will be fish and meat on the case, and there will be nowhere to hide!
"Guan Yiqi, quick decision! Wang Youcai quickly evacuated the people! Chen Yaozuo shouted loudly.
Guan Yiqi replied in a deep voice, he was entangled by five or six mountain bandits and couldn't get out, originally with his martial arts, five or six mountain bandits couldn't trap him at all, but now he is more and more frightened the more he fights, these five or six people are extremely solid in kung fu, and with tacit understanding, it is difficult for him to win for a while. What's worse is that there are brothers around him who are constantly injured and falling, and they have to be distracted to rescue, so they can't help but retreat with the Song soldiers around them. When he heard Chen Yaozuo's military order, he rose up bravely, kicked up a long knife on the ground and held it in his hand with his backhand, his momentum rose violently, and his knife technique was wide open, attacking with all his might, and he didn't leave his hand to defend.
The black-clothed man who was fighting with Guan Yiqi suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, Guan Yiqi was frightened, and they were even more afraid. Several people are all masters, and they rarely meet opponents on weekdays, but they didn't expect to join forces for so long today and haven't won yet. The person in front of him didn't look particularly powerful, but he didn't expect that the staying power was so good, he could support it for so long with one enemy and five enemies! But when he finally runs out of strength, as long as he drags him down, even if he consumes, he can be consumed to death!
But a few people soon found out that they were wrong, the officers and generals in front of them seemed to have inexhaustible strength, just now he was able to fight a new round of outbreaks with his two knives in hand, forcing several people to turn from offensive to defensive. This person is so tricky, they are afraid that they will not have a chance in the future, and they have made up their minds now that they will kill this person today!
On the other side, with Guan Yiqi's answer, Li Ce, Guan Zhen and others also saw his predicament. Guan Zhen let out a long roar, dragged a spear and ran towards Guan Yiqi, he had always been very obedient to follow Li Ce's side, even if he was itchy and unbearable, he tried to restrain himself, until he saw that his father-in-law was trapped at this moment, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed over with a roar. And he saw that the few people besieging his father-in-law were all good hands, and Guan Yiqi had already run the Qiankun Mental Method to last so long, although he had just used his great power to force everyone back, but the Qiankun Mental Method was extremely labor-intensive, even if he could win in the end, he was afraid that the father-in-law's body would be greatly damaged, and he would not be able to use force in the future! How could this not make his teeth crack!
Li Ce was also shocked, how did Guan Yiqi's martial arts know in his heart that a few thieves could actually trap him? How is this possible? If the little thief has such martial arts, then what kind of bandit is to do something, isn't it better to do something than to be a thief?
No, it's weird...... He glanced around, and found that there were about two or three hundred people in black, all of them covered their faces with black scarves, except for a few who dismounted and fought with the officers and soldiers, the rest of the people were attacking everywhere on horseback, and the methods were very cruel, and they did not let go of the unarmed civilians, and many people had died under the butcher's knife!
Seeing that their purpose is not like grabbing food, and although their numbers are small, they are very lawful in attack and defense, knowing that Guan Yiqi and other generals are powerful, they will divide their good hands to entangle them, so that they can't get out, and the rest of the Song army has no leader, and the combat effectiveness of the ten is only three points.
This group of black-clothed people must have a unified command, and this person knows the Song army very well! Thinking of this, Li Ce paid close attention to the changes on the battlefield, and finally let him capture a trace of information, although the situation in front of him was chaotic, but from time to time there would be a whistle that appeared like nothing, every time the whistle appeared, the man in black would adjust the attack sequence, and every adjustment was so appropriate, it seemed that the whistle was the leader in the dark, where was this person?
Li Ce quickly told Chen Yaozuo and the people around him about his discovery, and everyone hurriedly searched for the whistle blower on the battlefield, and it didn't take long for someone to discover his hiding place. Li Ce looked along, the enemy was really cunning, not far from a small hill, a big tree, under the tree stood a man in black, because there was a projection of the tree at night, and this person was standing in the projection of the tree, and if he didn't pay attention to it carefully, he couldn't see it at all.
Li Ce was just about to secretly call the archers to shoot this person, but suddenly the black-clothed man on the top of the mountain seemed to have discovered Li Ce and a few people, he suddenly changed the whistle, a rapid whistle sounded, and the black-clothed man's offensive on the battlefield soared.
Then a scene that frightened Li Ce happened, I saw the man in black scream, spread his hands and flew down from the top of the mountain like a big bird pounced, although this mountain is not high, but it is also twenty or thirty zhang high, the man in black is like resisting the wind, every time his toes are a little bit, his body jumps forward a distance, so three or four times, he is about to reach Li Ce!
Li Ce was shocked, no, the man in black must have seen Chen Yaozuo's identity and wanted to kill Chen Yaozuo!
"Protect your lordship!" Li Ce saw the attempt of the man in black, and hurriedly shouted, while hurriedly blocking Chen Yaozuo behind him, and hurriedly evaded and evacuated.
The ghost-like figure of the man in black instantly arrived in front of him, he sneered, stretched out his right hand like a withered claw, and flicked his feet violently, his body flew flat, and the target was directly aimed at Li Ce's throat.
Although Li Ce was reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to harden his scalp at this time, he silently used his strength, and used all his strength to hit his right fist against the right paw of the man in black.
"Bang!" Li Ce only felt a strong force coming, shaking his right hand almost dislocated, his body couldn't help but staggered back a few steps, the man in black let out a snort, sneered, and suddenly stretched out his right claw and attacked again.
My life is at stake, Li Ce sighed secretly in his heart, he knew very well that he was not the opponent of the man in black, he could feel that the man in black had not gone all out just now.
said that it was too late, Li Ce had already closed his eyes and died, and suddenly a hidden weapon flew and hit the face door of the man in black, the right claw of the man in black was about to catch Li Ce's face door, but at this time he had to take it back alive, change the attack to defense, and protect his face door, if he did not withdraw his right hand, although he could kill Li Ce under the claw, I am afraid that he would also be killed by this hidden weapon.
The man in black quickly turned around and pulled out a long sword, blocking the hidden weapon in front of him, only to hear the crisp sound of a metal collision, and a little spark burst out, a long thing was knocked out, Li Ce was close, he saw that the so-called hidden weapon was actually a dust!
"Buddha Amitayus!" A trumpet sounded, and a gray-robed Taoist suddenly appeared in front of him holding the whisk that had just been knocked away.
The Taoist combed his hair in a bun, his hair was a little gray, he looked like he was about sixty years old, and his long beard was also gray, and he was wearing a wide Taoist robe, which was blown by the night wind, but it was very implicated by the fairy wind and bones.
The Taoist held the dust whisk in his hand, with a smile on his face, and said, "Sect Master Chen, don't come to harm?" ”
