Chapter 771: Dry Firewood
After Yue Shao'an followed the old man and rushed out, he didn't go far before he saw another hole, and when he climbed out, it was already the top of the high platform. The piercing sound of the bed crossbow in my ears was accompanied by cursing and shouting to kill, constantly echoing in my ears. The people on the high platform were already stunned by this kind of battle, and they looked at the arrows flying overhead like a gun, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to show their heads, and they all shrunk their bodies under the wall.
The old man's face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he was still half-dead at this time, Yue Shao'an was already impatient, leaned over and grabbed his sleeve, and asked, "Do you have a way to unify the command of the villagers at this time?" β
The old man glanced back at him, and saw Yue Shao'an's eager expression, the current situation was so critical, and he couldn't hide anything. nodded and said, "I've practiced before, but I don't know how much it can work, but you can give it a try." β
"Good!" Yue Shao'an moved closer to him again, lowered his voice, and after muttering in the old man's ear, the old man's face changed greatly, first showing a look of surprise, then shaking his head, and said, "That's not possible." β
"Why?" Yue Shao'an couldn't help but ask in a hurry.
"You let everyone hide and wait for the enemy to climb up and attack. This is certainly a clever plan, and it can even kill and injure most of the opponents. The old man first affirmed Yue Shao'an's opinion, and then, the conversation changed and said: "However, have you ever thought that at this time, although it is possible to win a small victory, the difference in combat strength between the two sides is too great after all, and it is only a matter of time before the village is breached." If by that time, how many people in the village will survive, have you thought about it? β
While the two were talking, the horse thieves had already swarmed up, and when the horse thieves were about to climb the high platform, Yao Fang once again appeared in their line of sight. Yue Shao'an and the old man both looked in the direction of Yao Fang at the same time, and the two frowned at the same time, as if they were hesitating about something, suddenly, Yue Shao'an raised his lowered head suddenly, and said, "I have a way......
And the old man also opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Yue Shaoan took the lead. Seeing Yue Shao'an like this, the old man pondered for a moment, and swallowed back the words that had reached his throat. He nodded and said, "Okay!" β
Yue Shao'an received the old man's affirmative answer, no longer hesitated, took a bow from the hand of a person beside him, put on the arrow, aimed at Yao Fang's direction and shot out.
Ordinary bows and arrows were almost unnoticeable in the case of a sky full of monnie crossbow arrows, but Yao Fang, who was in the distance, was startled and looked in the direction of the arrows.
Although the guards beside him easily blocked the arrow with their shields, Yao Fang's gaze could no longer be taken away. Because, he saw, two people standing side by side on the high platform in front of him.
Yue Shao'an, who was tall and fair-faced, and the old man with a thin face and a sloppy beard, the two of them were so surprised in appearance, but they gave Yao Fang a feeling of surprise one by one.
The old man is okay, Yao Fang's purpose for coming this time is him, so he naturally knows about his existence, but he didn't expect to see him so soon. However, Yue Shaoan's appearance really shocked Yao Fang. The moment he saw Yue Shao'an, Yao Fang was stunned, not knowing what was going on.
It took him more than half a year to sneak into Dali secretly this time, and it was more than 5,000 people, all of whom infiltrated in batches from various places pretending to be merchants, and there was absolutely no mistake in the middle, how could he still be discovered by Yue Shao'an, and it seemed that he had already acted in advance and taken the lead, no wonder a small Xiangshan village, with only three or four hundred people, was so difficult to capture.
In the gap where Yao Fang was stunned, the horse thieves had already rushed to the high platform, and the bed crossbow had stopped shooting. Yue Shao'an saw that the time was ripe, and immediately waved one hand and gave the old man a look, the old man nodded vigorously, turned around and kicked the iron pot next to him and flew out, the fire was burning in the iron pot, which was used for defense when necessary.
The old man stepped down, and the full pot of flames flew straight towards the haystack that had been placed in the center of the high platform. When dry wood meets fire, it is like a demon in the dark meets a helpless girl, and the result can be imagined.
The fire was ignited, and the old man tore open his not loud voice and shouted, "Do it! β
The thieves who climbed up did not understand what was going on, but the people who had approached the top of the platform were suddenly dragged up, and before they could figure out the situation, they were greeted by sticks, bricks, and other weapons or things that were not weapons.
"Jingle ......"
After a chaotic sound, there was no movement on the high platform again, and the old man didn't know where to find a big flag, but the shape of this flag was really weird, and there were two forks on the middle piece of cloth, like the tongue of a snake, Yue Shao'an stared at it carefully for a while, and then saw clearly that the mother's was a pair of pants that had been torn off.
Of course, although the temporary flag of this pole is not good-looking, but the effect is very obvious, with the old man's wave, the people on the high platform in one go, the people who came up to the head is a beating, after the beating, regardless of whether the other party is dead or alive, seeing the old man's banner change the direction, two or three people carried the horse thieves who had just been knocked down towards the horse thieves who were climbing up.
The tide of battle seemed to turn around in an instant, and the advantage of the horse thieves seemed to disappear in an instant. Yue Shao'an stared at Yao Fang, and suddenly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted coldly, "Yao Fang, do you think you are doing something unknowingly?" Today, this is your burial placeβ"
This shout, in fact, the sound is not particularly high, but when it reaches Yao Fang's ears, it is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Many of Yao Fang's subordinates had seen Yue Shao'an, and they hadn't noticed this place at first, but when they saw Yao Fang's complexion change greatly, and then looked at Yao Fang's line of sight, all the people who knew Yue Shao'an, in their hearts, subconsciously thought that everything here was a trap.
Then, the faces of the generals became ugly, their hearts were suspicious, their heads seemed to be out of their control, and their eyes began to look around, as if there were ambushes hidden in every inch of the place.
And in the wind, Yue Shao'an, who was dressed in thin clothes, seemed to have controlled their lives on the high platform, and his retreat was like a tide, surging up. At first, the casualties were much greater than they are now, but now every person who dies seems to have been calculated, and it has been invisibly expanded in the hearts of the generals.
A subordinate general looked at Yao Fang with an ugly face and asked with difficulty, "General, what should I do?" β
Yao Fang's heart was chaotic, he was uncertain, and he didn't know whether to fade away, just when he hesitated, suddenly, a general turned his horse's head and galloped away with a shout, and suddenly, these soldiers who pretended to be horse thieves were in chaos, and they didn't know what to do. However, the pro-soldiers of the fleeing general didn't care so much, and when they saw their main general slipping, they knew that something was wrong, so they slipped away.
Escaping is like a plague, spreading at a rapid pace. From high morale, ambition to get the will to fight, a thousand miles of defeat, sometimes only need to turn the horse's head once.
Yao Fang saw the situation in front of him, and his heart became more and more bottomless. Moreover, it is now impossible to regain control of his own forces and integrate him into his previous state. In desperation, he gritted his teeth, turned his horse back, and shouted: "Withdraw!" β
Then, the horse thieves, who were still aggressive just now, threw down the siege equipment, turned around and ran. Thousands of people swept away at a great speed, and soon their figures disappeared into the dust and smoke in the distance.
General Chu took in this scene from beginning to end on the side, looking at Yue Shao'an's gaze became more complicated, her thin lips bit lightly, she slowly reached for the dagger on her waist, after a pause, her eyes flickered slightly, and slowly retracted it......
The old man's expression was much richer, he stared at Yue Shao'an with a pair of small eyes, staring at Yue Shao'an, and the sound of "tsk ......" in his mouth continued, and he sighed: "I didn't expect you kid to be so powerful, you can retreat from the enemy with a single shout......"
Yue Shao'an's mood at the moment was not as relaxed as his face, and it was only at this moment that he became afraid, if Yao Fang hadn't retreated just now, but ordered the bed crossbow to shoot at him together, I am afraid that he would have died by now. Looking at the bed crossbow that was thrown in the distance, Yue Shaoan reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "They are estimated to be back soon, let people collect those available weapons, and burn the rest." We're going to move as soon as possible. β
The old man nodded, turned around, gave a brief command, turned his head again, and said, "Boy, you haven't said it yet, how did you do it?" β
Yue Shaoan solemnly patted the old man's shoulder and said, "When you have been around in that era when Yang lived with his aunt and Obama was obsessed with Xia Yuhe, it is sometimes an art to fool around......"
"Ao, Ao...... What kind of horse? The old man's brows furrowed, and he asked with a puzzled face, "What kind of horse are you?" β
Yue Shao'an had no intention of talking to him, and stepped up his pace and walked towards the high platform. And General Chu, who was standing behind, had not said a word, but he had already written down what Yue Shao'an had just said in his heart. In her opinion, there must be some secret hidden in Yue Shaoan's seemingly casual sentence......
