Chapter 651: Thieves and Weak Soldiers
Abukai felt something hot fall on his face, he didn't dare reach out and touch it, he had already guessed what it was.
Blood.
In spite of the outnumbered number of officers and men, they were not able to fight the eight or nine men in front of them, except for the strong men with long swords, the others each held swords and spears, and they were also extremely fierce, although they were all fighting on foot, but they were nimble, and they were quick to chop or stab in the middle of the move, and often the officers and soldiers who were facing the opponent were killed with a single blow.
"The officers and soldiers can't beat them, they can't beat them." Dai Peng's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists tightly, "After all, the world has been peaceful for too long, and they can't withstand the rigorous training, so if they go on like this, not only foreign enemies, but even bandits will not be able to defeat them." ”
But the leader of the Boren cavalry was not entirely incompetent, and seeing that he could not win in close combat, he yelled, "Shoot the arrows!" ”
When the officers and men of the cavalry battalion heard the order, they immediately broke out of the battle group on horseback, and after opening a distance from the enemy, they each drew their bows and arrows and shot at the thieves.
The thieves each brandished their weapons to resist the arrows, while retreating, the thief who had stolen Abkai's money bag because he had been shot by Dai Peng, his movements were not as flexible as his companions, and soon he was hit by an arrow in the leg, and fell to the ground with a scream, several accomplices wanted to pull him up, but they were forced to get close to the feathered arrows that kept shooting, and when they saw someone injured and fell to the ground, the Boren cavalry vented their anger on him, and constantly had feathered arrows shooting at him, and after a while, the thief was shot like a hedgehog, lying on the ground and struggling.
Seeing that he was incapacitated, several horsemen galloped up to the thieves. Lifting the horse's legs high and struggling to step on them, Abkai felt his heart tremble. It was as if a clear sound of bones shattering.
Several thieves began to fight back with hidden weapons, and the two sides were caught in the middle of a firefight. Due to the close proximity, each other's weapons were quite powerful, and in a short time another thief was shot to the ground, but three horsemen also shot down the thief with a golden dart, especially the strong man. He picked up the swords and spears left on the ground and threw them, killing two more cavalrymen in an instant, but there were few thieves. Seeing that the situation is gradually becoming unfavorable.
Dai Peng suddenly said: "You stay where you are, don't move!" With that, he lowered his head and rushed quickly towards the battle array.
Abukhai wanted to stop him, but he knew he couldn't do anything about it. I could only lie in place.
Dai Peng ran and rushed towards the thieves. An arrow from afar hit a thief accurately. The thieves didn't expect to be attacked again, and for a while they were a little confused. Dai Peng did not miss the arrow, and took this opportunity to shoot down two thieves in a row.
When the officers and men of the cavalry battalion saw the commotion of their opponents, their morale was greatly boosted and they regained the upper hand.
But that's when things change.
A gun barrel suddenly stretched out from the carriage and aimed straight at Dai Peng.
Dai Peng saw the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him. Frightened, he dodged and hid behind a large tree. But the moment he rushed towards the tree, a dark red flame erupted from the muzzle.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, Dai Peng only felt a pain in his leg, followed by a stumble, he just rushed to the side of the tree, the other party's gun rang out again, this time he felt a pain in his buttocks.
"Bang!" The third shot rang out again, and at this time Dai Peng had already hidden behind the tree, and the bullet hit the big tree, and for a while the sawdust flew wildly.
Seeing that Dai Peng had hidden behind a tree, the other party no longer pursued him, but aimed his gun at the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who were shooting arrows.
"Bang! Bang! Two more gunshots rang out, and Dai Peng saw the two cavalrymen screaming and falling off their horses, but they seemed to be only wounded, and there was no fear for their lives.
Dai Peng checked the injury on his leg and found that the injury was not very serious, a round lead bullet pierced the upper of the cowhide boot and the leggings inside, shallow embedded in the flesh, and did not hurt the bones, Dai Peng pulled out the knife he carried, gritted his teeth, and used the knife to tear out the lead bullet at once, and then applied gold seed to the wound.
The officers and men were blindfolded by the sudden blow and immediately scattered in all directions; among them, several officers and men were shot and fell off their horses, and some of them were knocked down by their own people, but these people were screaming there after they fell to the ground, and they did not die -- this confirmed Dai Peng's judgment: The power of the opponent's guns was not great.
Dai Peng gasped for a while, straightened up, and poked his head out of the tree slightly, he noticed that the gun was still firing, it should have been more than a dozen shots at this time, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Suddenly, his heart flashed like lightning!
Could this be ......
"Bastard bastard! Stinky Fur Thief! Dare to steal Lao Tzu's flying fire and shoot a gun! Lao Tzu your eighteenth generation ancestor! Abukai suddenly burst out scolding.
He also recognized it, and the other party used the fire rifle, his family's treasure!
Thinking that this old gun could still be used now, and he also injured himself, Dai Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
According to what Abukhai had boasted to him before, the Spitfire Repeater could fire 28 rounds without stopping, and now it seems that it is not a lie.
Under the cover of the Spitfire Bullet Gun, the remaining thieves all retreated into the carriage.
The Bo cavalry stopped shooting, and everyone was helpless, but they saw a red line shooting straight at the carriage, followed by a crisp sound of foreign guns.
A large hole was punched in the wall of the carriage in an instant, followed by an extremely terrible scream.
This change came suddenly, and whether it was the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, or Abukai and Dai Peng, they were all stunned.
"It's ...... Foreign guns! One of the horsemen shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, another shot was fired in the darkness, and it hit the wall of the car accurately, and the wall of the car cracked open with this shot, and a short man in black fell out at once, lying face down on the ground, not moving.
In one of his hands, he still held an old-fashioned musket tightly.
"Everyone get out of the car, Rao Er can't die, otherwise he will be killed." A clear male voice rang out.
Abukai and Dai Peng followed the prestige in unison and saw a man in white holding a large silver spear in his hand. I'm slowly walking this way.
Although he was talking, the gun in his hand was always aimed at the carriage and kept shooting at any time.
I saw that the other party was dressed as a scribe. Not wearing an official uniform, the cavalry leader was stunned and asked loudly: "Dare to ask which way this friend is?" ”
"Under the surname Qu, it is under the command of Lord Lin Yiqing, and I came to help you succeed on the orders of Lord Lin." The white-clothed scribe replied, "Lord Lin is worried that you will be injured by the thieves, so he has come to help in the battle. ”
"It turned out to be a capable person under Lord Lin. Oh, thank you so much! When the cavalry leader heard that it was Lin Yiqing's subordinates, his face immediately filled with a relaxed expression. But he looked at the dead bodies on the ground and became a little embarrassed again, "I'm sorry to hurt so many brothers." I haven't finished what the lord has told me. Let the brothers laugh! ”
"This group of thieves is murderous, bloody, and cunning and abnormal, and it is because of you." The white-clothed scribe said calmly, "Then please prepare the ropes, and leave the rest to the brothers." ”
"The surname is Qu! What a big breath! Someone in the carriage sneered.
"I'll count to three, and you'll all get out of the car. Otherwise, I will open fire. In the marksmanship, within 100 steps, there is no missing shot, and if any of you don't believe it, you can try it. The white-clothed scribe said lightly.
"Don't brag around there!" The man in the carriage suddenly shouted, "Sharima! Kill him for me! ”
With an earth-shattering roar, the brawny man rushed out of the carriage.
He raised his long-handled broadsword in both hands, stared at his brass bell-like eyes, and strode towards the white-clothed scribe with a roar.
The white-clothed scribe immediately aimed the muzzle of the gun at the strong man, and a shot was fired, and Abkai saw that a cloud of blood mist burst out of the strong man's chest instantly, but he did not fall, but roared wildly, his body shook slightly, and there was no intention of stopping under his feet.
The white-clothed scribe was obviously taken aback when he saw this, he raised his gun and shot it again, this shot hit the strong man's lower abdomen, due to the close distance, and the gun in the hands of the white-clothed scribe was extremely powerful, the strong man's abdomen was torn open, revealing the intestines of the white flower!
Although the intestines had been knocked out, the strong man still seemed to be fine, and continued to rush towards the white-clothed scribe.
Seeing this scene, Abkai and the Boren cavalry were all stunned.
The white-clothed scribe had apparently encountered such a thing for the first time, and when he had fired two shots, there were no bullets left in the chamber, and he felt for the bullets to reload as he walked back quickly. But before he could finish loading, the strong man had already rushed in front of him.
The white-clothed scribe saw the strong man's hands raised, raised his long-handled broadsword high, and was about to slash at himself with all his might, and he was about to cross the spear to block, but he saw a flash of light in the moonlight, and a feathered arrow was shot, hitting the joint of the strong man's arm.
The arrow shot so accurately and fiercely that the shovel-shaped arrow pierced through the joints of the strong man at once, and when his arm was broken, the knife could not be cut.
At this moment, the white-clothed scribe took the opportunity to take a few steps back and put two bullets into the chamber of his gun (he was using a double-barreled gun), and he was about to raise his gun, but he heard a loud roar from the strong man, and fell down on one knee.
Another sharp arrow with a spade-shaped arrow pierced the joints of the strong man's legs.
Without bothering to see who was helping, the white-clothed scribe who had finished loading the ammunition raised his gun and aimed it at the strong man's head at this critical moment, and pulled the trigger hard.
"Bang!" Red flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and Abkai saw only a flash of red light, and the strong man's body froze suddenly, and after shaking for a while, he fell to the side and did not move.
The white-clothed scribe let out a sigh of relief and redirected his gun at the carriage.
"You can't escape, Balchi. Lord Lin has an order, as long as you are captured alive, the rest will live and die, and you don't care, why did you drag so many people to die in vain? The white-robed scribe said.
There was silence in the carriage.
"Good! The surname is Qu! Count you ruthless! After a while, the man sighed hatefully.
"In that case, please show up, and I'll take you and the others to see Lord Lin." The white-clothed scribe said, the gun in his hand still pointed at the carriage, maintaining the posture of firing at any time, "Throw the weapon out first." Then put your hands behind your head and slowly walk out. ”
After a while, several long knives were thrown out of the carriage, and then seven men came out of the carriage, all of them walking out with their hands on the back of their heads and hanging their heads as the white-clothed scribe had asked.
Seeing the thieves coming out, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion who had prepared ropes rushed up and tied them to the ground one by one.
"The surname is Qu, I ask you. We and Lord Lin do not violate the river water, there is no injustice in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future. Why is he looking for our brother's bad luck? The thief named Balchi asked with some disbelief as he looked at the rope around his body.
"I think it has something to do with Brother Baltan." The white-clothed scribe smiled, "I don't know how much, you can ask Lord Lin in person." ”
"Baltan? Hum! No wonder...... Don't play with the women of any family, right? What a ......," Barchi muttered, no more.
"Archery friend, please show up! Thank you so much! The white-clothed scribe turned his head and said.
"Ouch! You tap! Dai Peng bared his teeth and screamed. It turned out that Abukai was helping him with his wounds, and he was shot twice in the body. Although it didn't hurt the vital point, it also bled a lot.
Abukai clumsily washed his wounds and smiled, "Who told you to be so reckless? But you're also amazing. One man turned the tide of the battle. ”
He said this to the white-clothed scribes.
Dai Peng smiled slightly, and his painful expression decreased slightly.
"It turns out that my brother is wounded, and there is some medicine for injuries here......" Before the white-clothed scribe could finish speaking, Abkai caught a glimpse of a cavalry cavalry cavalry soldier cleaning the battlefield with a flying spear. Immediately dropped Dai Peng and pounced. "That's my gun! Give me back! ”
"Your gun?" The Boren cavalryman apparently noticed the extraordinariness of this old spear, and immediately pushed Abkai away, looking him up and down, and when Abkai was about to grab the gun again, several horsemen stepped forward and stopped him.
"This military master, this gun is indeed ours, it was a gift from the palace back then, and it has always been provided in the family temple. As a result, it was stolen by this group of thieves, and we tracked it all the way here. I just happened to run into them to commit murder to you, so I helped you. Dai Peng stood up with great difficulty and staggered to this side, "Now the thief will be captured, and this gun will be returned to Zhao." ”
After listening to Dai Peng's words, the cavalryman still refused to return the gun, and then the cavalry leader came over, "You said that this gun is yours, but what evidence do you have?" ”
Dai Peng looked at Abkai, meaning to ask him to tell the credentials, but Abkai seemed to be stumped at this time, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"You can't get the credentials, can you?" The cavalryman with the gun sneered, "Then don't talk about it, everyone saw it just now, it was the thief who was beating people with this gun, then this is the thief's stolen goods, and it should be confiscated by the official, what do you say, let's talk about it when I see the official in the future!" ”
"Give me back my gun! That gun is mine! You can't take it! Abukai stamped his feet in a hurry, struggling desperately to get forward, but the other horsemen were clutched so tightly that they could not move.
"Brother thinks that everything here should be presented to Lord Lin for a decision." The white-clothed scribe said at this time, "After all, we are all acting on the orders of Lord Lin this time, and Lord Lin is ordered by the emperor to inspect the defense of various places, and it must be an important matter for us to catch this gang of thieves, maybe it will fall on the things of these thieves." He pointed in one direction, "Lord Lin is still waiting there." ”
Hearing the white-clothed scribe say that Lin Yiqing was nearby, the cavalry leader was taken aback.
"What Brother Qu said is very true, come on! Take this gun, as well as the things found from the thief's car, carefully take it, and send it to Lord Lin! The cavalry leader commanded loudly.
"If you two have anything to say about this gun, you might as well put it in front of Lord Lin." The white-clothed scribe looked at Abkai, who was crying and mourning, smiled, and said to Dai Peng.
"Good! Please also ask Brother Qu to lead the way! Dai Peng understood that the white-clothed scribe was helping them, and nodded.
After a short time, the group came out of the forest and came to the side of the road, where Abkai and Dai Peng immediately saw a black carriage towed by four horses parked there.
The carriage was brightly lit, and there seemed to be figures shaking.
"My lord, Balchi and his men have all been captured, and all the things they have stolen are here, please check them."
Abkai heard a soft cough of a woman coming from the carriage, followed by a man's soft reassuring voice.
"Bring Balch first." The man in the carriage said.
The two Bo cavalrymen pushed the heavily bound Balchi to the door of the carriage and knelt down, the door of the carriage opened, and a hot wind rushed in his face.
Although it was a cold winter night, Aboukai knew that the carriage must be as warm as spring, just like ...... Cuijin Building's room in Xiaohong......
Lin Yiqing, who was wrapped in a mink fur all over, looked at the giant thief kneeling in front of him and nodded.
"These people are all thieves and thieves, and they are very vicious, and the brothers are afraid that the casualties are not small?" Lin Yiqing's eyes were like torches, and after sweeping over Barchi's body, he fell on the Boren cavalry behind him.
"Back to the lord's words, yes...... How many brothers died! The leader of the cavalry sighed and replied with some sadness, "They are all old and young......"
"Dead brothers, I hope that the funeral expenses will be covered by me, and I will have another bereavement of money for the families, and all the brothers will also have a reward of silver, and the reward of the wounded will be doubled." Lin Yiqing said, "The big guy worked hard tonight. ”
Hearing Lin Yiqing's words, the cavalrymen were overjoyed one by one, this lord is famous for his bold moves, they have already heard that there is a reward for silver, some of the wounded soldiers smiled and smiled, and the injuries on their bodies did not feel pain, and some even wished that the wounds were deeper and wider, so that the lord could see that he had made a great effort, so that the lord could reward more silver.
"Put ...... Door...... Closed...... Okay...... I ...... coldly" A young woman's weak voice came from the carriage, and Lin Yiqing immediately got out of the carriage and closed the door tightly.
"Balchi, do you know why I arrested you today?" Lin Yiqing looked at Bal Chi who was kneeling there and said in a deep voice.
"This ...... I don't know if it's small. Bar Chi wanted to say something cruel, but as soon as he met Lin Yiqing's gaze, he couldn't help but cringe in his heart, and what he said was different. (To be continued......)
