Chapter 17
The wind and sand were all over the sky, the yellow dust covered the sun, all the officers and soldiers carried sabers, one by one fierce and vicious, leaving behind seven or eight corpses, and the rest of the villagers were suddenly changed, all of them fled in all directions and hid in the house, closed the door, and there was a dead silence all around. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qiang Niu commanded his subordinates: "Divide into two teams, one team left, one team right, and kill them from house to house." Everyone agreed in unison, and immediately divided into two teams, one by one, to search and advance.
The bull led people to kick open the gate of a house, the gate was empty, everyone passed through the main house, towards the backyard, people have not entered the yard, suddenly a sound of breaking the air came, the bull has been fighting for a long time, a forward roll into the yard, two screams behind him, two soldiers with crossbow arrows on the door, the tail of the arrow trembling freely. The bull danced a knife flower to protect his body, stood up, a black shadow flashed on the wall, and a person volleyed over the courtyard wall, and disappeared. The bull shouted: "Brothers, be careful, there is a practicing family, hurry up and chase over the wall." ”
Several soldiers climbed over the wall and chased after the fleeing people, and the bull retreated into the house with the other people, trying to go around the main entrance to outflank them, but before the people left the house, there were a few screams, and there was no more sound. Frightened, the bull took the remaining few people to speed up and went around to the courtyard wall, only to see the three soldiers who had just climbed over the wall fell crookedly by the courtyard wall, all wounded in the neck, blood gushing out, motionless, and dying cleanly. The bull gasped, and a sense of fear arose. Several people were in a daze, the sound of crossbow arrows behind them, and two people were hit by arrows in the back of their necks, and fell to the ground, the bull didn't have time to turn back, a black shadow was as close as a ghost, a knife and a knife, as fast as the wind, and the other two soldiers were also stabbed in the neck, and the blood sprayed the bull's body, the bull hurriedly turned around, the gourd held the short knife, and the cold blade had been on the neck of the bull, looking at the bull coldly. The bull suddenly repeated the old trick, a roll to the side, the person has not yet gotten up, has felt the cold wind coming, the blood coagulated in an instant, the heart flashed, knowing that the opponent is too powerful, this knife can no longer let go, "brush" sound, the bull has been in a different place, the corpse fell heavily to the ground, the gourd glanced at the short knife in his hand, the knife body did not have a trace of blood, without hesitation turned to the other side of the road and quietly touched.
By the time the gourd arrived, four or five corpses had already fallen in the courtyard, and there was a mess all around. In the corner of the courtyard, a woman was shivering with a child in her arms. The ghost head knife in Hei Qi's hand was still dripping with blood. The two glanced at each other, and Hei Qi said in a low voice: "The official army has blocked the road on both sides, there are too many of them, don't fight hard, lead them into the village, let's break them all." ”
Stuffy Hulu asked, "What about Mr. Tang and Yu'er?" ”
"Hidden in front of a family."
Stuffy gourd nodded: "I'll go to the entrance of the village and release arrows to lure them in." ”
The two of them had a soul in their hearts and went to the entrance of the village together.
When Yu'er and Tang Zhong led the patriarch and a few strong men to the entrance of the village, the battle was over, the stuffy gourd and the black seven sides did not change color, and the qi did not grow, and in front of the house and beside the road, there were already the corpses of ten officers and soldiers. Yu'er said to Hei Qi: "Seventh uncle, this Zhuangzi is the settlement of the Huns, and this old man is the local patriarch. After speaking, he turned his head and said something to the old man in Hun dialect. The old man and the clansmen were in a state of great emotion, and kept pointing fingers at Yu'er. After a while, Yu'er said to Hei Qi: "Uncle Seven, they hate these officials and soldiers so much that they are willing to obey our command and kill the officers and soldiers together." ”
Tang Zhong looked at Yu'er approvingly: "You tell them, gather all the old and young women and children in the middle of the Zhuangzi, and the young and middle-aged people take their weapons and divide them into three teams, one team follows Hei Qi, and the other team follows the gourd, and set up roadblocks at both ends of the village, and the thieves will arrive soon, and the rest of the people will follow me to patrol the village, to prevent the thieves from sneaking attack, and they must defend until dark, and then send a person to take a detour from the front of the village to ride a horse from Shicheng to report the news, and be sure to avoid the thieves guarding the back of the village." After speaking, Tang Zhong looked up at the sunset that had already set in the west, and said to himself: "God bless the son to escape this catastrophe." ”
When Du Yu led the team to arrive, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, the entrance of the village was full of corpses of officials and soldiers, the death was very tragic, some were injured by crossbow arrows, but most of them were knife wounds, and the road was stuffed with some broken ox carts, door panels, stones and other things, blocking the way into the village. An officer gritted his teeth: "Brothers, prepare rockets and burn this Zhuangzi for Lao Tzu." ”
"Slow, you can't use rockets." Du Yu glanced at the officer: "It's getting late, and the firelight will inevitably alarm the defenders of Lishi City, and we will all be exposed." After saying this, he thought for a moment: "Be sure to kill all the people in the village before dark, Lin Eighteen, take your brother to attack it, there must be an enemy in the Zhuangzi, be careful." ”
The officer named Lin 18 agreed, and dismounted with a team of soldiers under his command, and rushed to the barricade at the entrance of the village. Lin Shibai gasped and said to Du Yu: "General, the enemy is too cunning, hide in the dark and don't show his head, let go of cold arrows, we didn't bring a shield this time, and it will be a great loss to fight like this." ”
Du Yu set up a pergola with his hand, looked around, and then made up his mind: "Lin Shiba, you lead the team to shout and feint here to attract the enemy's attention, and when you hear the shouting of killing in Zhuangzi, you will kill in and join us, and the others will come with me." ”
After Tang Zhong waited for everyone to listen to the order conveyed by Yu'er, he said to Yu'er: "You go to Zhuangkou, I will go to Zhuangwei, inform Hei Qi that they don't want to defend, quietly converge here from both sides, attack the flank of the thief army, go quickly." ”
The soldiers followed Du Yu to the right side of Zhuangzi, Du Yu looked at the terrain and lowered his voice: "Get off the horse, only bring a saber, take off your armor, and go in over the wall, leaving two people to watch the horses." So, with a clanging sound of taking off their armor, all the soldiers took off their armor one after another, holding their sabers, Du Yu gave an order, and seventy or eighty people climbed the wall one after another and jumped into Zhuangzi. Tang Zhong led the inspection of the Zhuang households hiding in the shadows, and first found Du Yu and others, he leaned into Yu'er's ear: "You tell everyone to stay here, don't take the initiative to attack, and don't take a step back, behind us are old and young women and children, if the thieves rush over, none of them will survive." After hearing this, Yu'er whispered to everyone, and everyone nodded with a solemn expression.
