Chapter 66 (1) The fire is raging

1

The teams on both sides launched an attack at the same time, it depends on whose reaction speed is fast, whose action is fierce, the brave one wins when the two strong meet, and the courage of the attacker and the reasonable deployment of the commander are always the decisive factors in victory.

Shi Suo, who was in charge of the attack in the middle lane, saw the bandits in front of him howling and swarming up, and knew that they must "see the poor dagger", so he hurriedly ordered: "Prepare to release the arrows." ”

Cheng Dashan put down the arrow car, Su Xiaotong and another young man set up the mechanism on the car, aimed the front of the car at the group of bandits in front, and shook the handle switch violently, "Whoosh," a row of wooden arrows, shooting forward.

"Dangdang, ouch, ouch," some arrows hit the trunks of trees, and some of them hit the bandits, causing a scream.

Shi Suo and a few young men with great strength, each took a wooden bow, mounted the arrows, pulled straight like a full moon, shot forward, and the wooden arrows sent out from the arrow cart, formed a rain of arrows, this time preemptively, the bandits' offensive was blocked, with the chaotic screams, the bandits have to hide behind the trees. The woods were full of thick osmanthus trees, and it was convenient to hide, and the arrows quickly lost their effect, and the stone lock ordered: "Stop, rush forward." ”

Cheng Dashan put down the arrow cart, picked up the big stick, and rushed forward with great momentum, and the young men each raised their swords and guns, shouting: "Kill-" rushed forward.

"Wow," there was a soft sound, and from behind the osmanthus tree in front, a black liquid suddenly shot out, and at the same time, a strange smell of kerosene drilled into the nostrils, and Shi Suo shouted: "It's not good, dodge." ”

In the hazy moonlight, I saw a few bandits, hiding behind a tree, holding a two or three feet long, like a gun, but thicker than a gun, firing it in this direction, although it was impossible to see what it was, Shi Suo knew that the black liquid sprayed must be kerosene.

The liquid sprayed was very urgent, and several family members were stained with it, and everyone didn't understand for a while, why the bandits sprayed these things, Cheng Dashan had the most on his body, but this young man was stunned, raised the stick, and ignored the screams of the stone locks, and kept killing forward.

Behind the laurel tree in front, several arrows were shot out in a blink of an eye, all of these arrows suddenly burst into flames, but they turned out to be rockets, the young people here suddenly understood, the bandits first sprayed kerosene, and then launched rockets, kerosene burned when it caught fire, it can immediately form a fire, people are stained with kerosene, if they are ignited by rockets, there is no doubt that they will immediately become fire people, other plants and trees, sprayed with kerosene, rockets shoot, burning must be more intense.

A rocket was passing by Cheng Dashan's side, although it didn't hit him, but this rocket was tied with flammable materials, and suddenly sparks, and all of a sudden Cheng Dashan's clothes were burned, and the flames "poofed" up.

Stone Lock shouted, "Put out the fire." Suddenly took two steps, stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Dashan, dragged him to the ground, Cheng Dashan's chest, "suddenly" burst into flames, Shi Lock pressed his chest to the ground, pressed the flames under him, heard the "whooshing" wind in his ears was still ringing, knew that the bandits' kerosene was continuing to spray, and hurriedly said to Cheng Dashan: "You roll." Then he jumped up and threw himself forward.

This burst of rockets set fire to several places in the woods, and the fire immediately surged, several peasants, also their clothes were set on fire, most of the peasants had never seen this kind of scene, panicked for a while, did not care about attacking again, busy fighting burning clothes, extinguishing the flames around them, the bandits took the opportunity to flash out from behind the trees, some sprayed kerosene, some shot rockets, some held knives and guns, rushed to this side.

Several bandits, taking advantage of this situation, gained the upper hand, and shouted in their mouths: "Kill, kill into the village." Before the words fell, I saw a black shadow, as if flying, a short knife in his hand was cold, and in the blink of an eye, two bandits with longbows were stabbed in one arm and one in the shoulder, screaming and falling to the ground.

This man is Shi Suo, he knows that if he does not hurry to stop the bandits from releasing arrows, the fire will be difficult to extinguish, so he specially selected the bandits who draw the bow and shoot the arrows, and the short knife in his hand stabbed horizontally and vertically, when the invincible, several bandits who were drawing the bow looked frightened, some threw down the bow and arrows, and ran away.

However, many bandits, taking advantage of the villagers were injured by the fire, busy putting out the fire, screaming, and launched a group charge, at this time in the osmanthus forest, there were flames everywhere, more than a dozen villagers, all on fire, they themselves and the people next to them, were busy extinguishing the flames on their bodies, the bandits seized this short favorable opportunity, and pounced on him.

The peasants were in a hurry, some of them still had flames on their bodies, so they went up to meet the enemy, some were injured, their hearts were flustered, they quickly turned around and ran, the formation was chaotic, at this critical time, the flank led by Su Shichang next to him outflanked the people and horses, and they had already killed, shouting and killing, the bandits used fire to attack, just gained the upper hand, and were rushing forward to kill, and suddenly there was a shout of killing next to the side and behind the side, and the pace slowed down. Cheng Dashan and the young men on the front took the opportunity to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and despite the pain, they reorganized themselves to meet the bandits. The clothes on Cheng Dashan's chest were still smoking, he didn't care, his eyes were open, he held the big stick high, like a god, he rushed forward, and was so frightened that the two bandits in front of him said "ahhhh

"Kill," the peasants saw that the reinforcements next to them had arrived, and they mustered up their courage, followed Cheng Dashan, and rushed over.

Shi Suo knew that the bandits had gathered sneakily just now, they must have been discussing a change of strategy, quietly engaging in a conspiracy to set fire, they probably had a container for kerosene and the like, which was used to supply jet oil, if this base was destroyed, it would be equivalent to eliminating the source of fire, so he waved a short knife and went straight to the place where the bandits gathered just now to kill.

There are more than ten osmanthus trees, growing together, crowded one by one, clustered together, the wild grass under the tree is luxuriant, forming a small hidden terrain, sure enough, there are several bandits, are coming out of there, holding a gun-shaped thing in their hands, the stone lock has run to a place more than a dozen steps away at this time, has seen clearly, what they are holding, it turns out to be the water dragon used for ordinary sprinkler fire, made with a bamboo tube, water is poured in, and then squeezed the piston inside, the water can be sprayed out a few zhang away, and the fire is extinguished from a distance. Now the bandits poured kerosene, sprayed it forward, and ignited it with rockets, forming a fire attack, which was several times more fierce than an ordinary fire attack. (To be continued.) )
