Text Chapter 131, it's time for us to go home
As an old stonemason, Cui Hongyuan has so much experience, since he has this extremely sharp sapper shovel in his hand and has a general direction, he has an idea for the excavation of the cave. He had seen this kind of cave five or six feet deep before, but it was the first time that he had dug so long.
In line with the idea of stability and durability, the long tunnel is not a straight one, but extends forward with an arc, and from time to time on both sides, the sappers shovel busy on the stone wall for a short time, digging a side cave that is not deep, and the Tibetans can use it; In the future, it is necessary to clean up the stone foam under your feet, and there must be a place to pile it, and it is uncomfortable to step on it and collapse softly.
Sure enough, after digging nearly three miles to the west, the craftsmen, who had been a little depressed for a long time, could not find the pipe when the wind lantern was about to go out.
Fortunately, although Cui Hongyuan was uneasy in his heart, he also knew that Baihu was behind, and he pretended to be calm, so that the other craftsmen did not drop the shovel and retreated.
After pondering the distance, now they are in the ground directly north of the Land Temple, Cui Hongyuan did not dare to dig any further, but asked the craftsmen to expand the hole around, looking for the pipe that Baihu said.
When the tunnel was expanded to about a zhang in a circle, and there was more than one person high up and down, pop, sparks flashed, and the craftsman standing in the westernmost place, the sapper shovel in his hand dug up the calf-thick pipe again.
"Shhh If it weren't for this never-before-seen shovel, which made them blindly obey Xiao Ye, they probably wouldn't have dared to go so far underground.
Naturally, turning the direction and following the pipes that also spewed air, the craftsmen made an effort to move towards the north; The ground that is slightly inclined forward is personally checked by Cui Mason to ensure that there will be no stagnant water in the future.
Shiguantun is thirty miles away from the stone fort of the horse road, and it takes more than four hours to reach it if you ride a horse, and it takes more than four hours to walk quickly.
But digging underground, despite the thick pipe as a guide, Cui Hongyuan's excavation speed was still much slower than that of ordinary people walking on the ground.
Quickly chasing after the craftsman, Xiao Ye and the others spent less than a meal through the somewhat suffocating tunnel, until they saw the faint light in front of them, and the hearts of the two of them slowly relaxed.
Cui Hongyuan and the others saw that Baihu was following, and their apprehensive mood was a lot more steady, and the laughter gradually became louder, and everyone took turns waving shovels, so that the speed of the extension of the cave was even faster.
Besides, Sun Xiaoming took his personal guards, razed a good courtyard, and after razing it to ruins, he packed up the empty boxes, and everyone and Wang Dali pulled the war horse to the stone fort B; Baihu didn't pay attention to the stone mill in the mill, and they didn't bother about it, so they left it there and left it alone.
Before Wang Dali left, he glanced at the mill twice, and left without saying a word, his wife Zhao had already gone down the mountain with the craftsmen, and he had nothing to worry about; The stone mill in the mill, the prison army has already occupied, if the Ximen Baihu is drumming to pull it away, then there will be no chance to come back.
A team of Zhang Jiawei in the mill was tied up, as long as no one died, Wang Dali didn't think it was too much, if his family's property was inexplicably taken away, I am afraid his excitement would not be more violent than Xiao Ye; You must know that in the towns and towns of the border army, the short-tempered military households, which of them are not screaming when they cause trouble, as long as the officials give comfort, they will basically be fine.
Children who can cry and scream have food to eat, and the wisdom of the low-level military households is there.
Therefore, he still thinks that Xiao Ye is just a normal transfer after being wronged, and if he knows the inside story, he is afraid that he will encourage Sun Xiaoming to move the stone mill no matter how troublesome he is.
The torches were lit, and the brothers were about to leave, Sun Xiaoming, who was riding on a war horse, suddenly saw Hu Shibiao and Zhang Zichang, standing not far away with a few sergeants, his heart moved, and he walked over with the reins, "Hu Baihu, the night has not rested,"
The dim lantern was picked up in his hand, and Hu Shibiao saw someone coming, his face was straight, but after a closer look, he didn't see Ximen Xiaoye's figure, and his eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, "Oh, I don't know if Ximen Baihu is there?" ”
"Hehe, Hu Baihu is worried, the adults of my family have already left, I didn't greet you, the little one is here to make amends," Sun Xiaoming, who was snorting haha in his mouth, came to Hu Baihu with no due respect on his face.
He can see that this Hu Shibiao will not leave, then he is not a person all the way, unlike Zhang Zichang, he is instructed by hundreds of households to stay.
"You are optimistic about your warm cellar, I can't say that we will have someone to buy vegetables, but give money," patting his chest, Sun Xiaoming lost interest for a while, this is almost a crippled hundred households, and it is not worth it to talk about the wind and cold.
Turning over and getting on the horse, Sun Xiaoming vaguely looked at Zhang Zichang, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse walked towards the mountain road triumphantly, and a group of personal guards waiting for him in the distance escorted Wang Dali down the stone mountain together.
"Hey, this official knows that diving can't trap the big fish, it's time for him to go," Hu Shibiao was stunned for a moment, and sighed in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, Shiguantun will depend on you in the future,"
"Xia Guan knows," Zhang Zichang nodded solemnly, "But Hu Baihu, those Zhang Daren's personal guards in the stone castle, are they still there?" ”
"Huh?" His words made Hu Shi jump up and shout loudly in a panic, "Hurry, hurry, hurry up and take a look, if they break one, the official will be dead or alive, and so will you,"
A few people dangled two lanterns, used all their strength, and ran towards the stone fort. Zhang Zichang, who rushed to the front, was also jumping in his heart, thinking about the two situations he was about to see.
Fortunately, when he ran into the fort gate, he didn't smell the pungent smell of blood, which made Zhang Zichang, who had just been appointed as the new flag officer, calm down.
He stayed in Shiguantun, on the one hand, because his family was in the gravel fort, and his parents' temperament, they would easily leave home if they wanted to, so they guarded the rented forty acres of land and lived a hard life, and he knew that he could not move.
After the hundred households left, a guard came to pull him and secretly told him for a while, those tablets in the Shiguantun Land Temple, as well as the cemetery in the east, are places that he should pay special attention to in the future, so as not to destroy it.
Needless to say, the three thick coptis trees outside the Land Temple, those pilgrims who come to offer incense will take good care of them, and they don't have to worry about Zhang Zichang.
He is now receiving the food and salary of the Gravel Fort on the surface, and it is not clear whether that thing can receive it or not, at least this month, it is given by thousands of households; Secretly, Ximen Baihu gave him a salary as usual, which was given according to the treatment of the chief flag officer, which made Zhang Zichang grateful.
The food and salary are easy to take, and the military order of the hundred households in Ximen is not comfortable, and the chief flag officer has five flag teams, and in the future, Xiao Ye will also give Sergeant Yu a salary according to the rules, which requires a pro-guard flag officer to come and inspect it, and the soft-boned guy still wants to be fed and clothed, and dream.
"Oh, how can this be, you brothers are offended," Seeing the guards in the courtyard of the stone fort who were still lying on the ground humming, Zhang Zi shouted in shock, and stepped forward to untie the hemp ropes on their hands and feet.
Seeing that someone came to save them, these guards, who were bluffed and did not dare to say anything, immediately regained their vitality, struggled loudly and shouted, and complained angrily that they had encountered a sneak attack, and that the despicable sneak attack was not done by a gentleman.
So, the guards who had been freed from the shackles began to discuss quite approvingly, and the courage in their hearts radiated, and the fierce aura filled their bodies again, and they looked at the situation and wanted to go down the mountain immediately and fight with the damned Ximen Xiao Ye for two days and two nights before they would stop.
Hu Shibiao, who was smiling, was not surprised, he had encountered this matter when he was performing in the avant-garde institute, and he had complained about it; Only Zhang Zichang's somewhat unnatural face showed a slight flush, he was ashamed, ashamed to be with this group of soldiers.
"The flag officers and sergeants transferred by the Thousand Households in the future, if they are the same as them, how should they deal with them," Listening to the arrogant noise in his ears, Zhang Zichang's eyes gradually became cold, and they were still in the mood to stand here and talk loudly? I have to say, it's also wonderful.
Or, just like Baihu, take out the method of manipulating the sergeant at the fire pier, and if you can't stand the crime, you will get out of the way, and instead of being beaten with a military stick in the future, it is better to kick the soft goods directly back to the gravel fort.
If the fire/gun is not enough to practice with a spear and a waist knife first, Ximen Baihu will not forget the brothers here, and Zhang Zichang has not hesitated to do so.
Wang Hu and Qin Shishi's two banner teams, with fifty Tartar cavalry, ignored the workshop area in the back mountain, but took advantage of the night to run more than ten miles, and directly surrounded the old Yangkou Tunbao; The flag team in the fire pier went to Shiguantun, and the unguarded secret sentry outside the old Yangkou Tunbao was simply an open-minded young woman.
The hundred households who came from the gravel fort to take over the old Yangkou Tunbao were the hundred households Luo Yufei who was obsessed with Xiao Ye, and he was lying in the bedroom in the backyard of the hundred households at the moment, sleeping soundly. In the 100 households, the guards took turns guarding the courtyard.
Xiao Ye sent someone to ask him for the food and salary of the old sheep's mouth a few times, although he was fooled, but he was disgusted for a while.
Well, now this newly built fort can be obtained without much effort, and it is still behind Shiguantun, as long as the fort gate is installed again, guarding and defending is his skill.
Jinyiwei also looted the old Yangkou Tunbao, not to mention the hundred households and granaries, even the military households and artisan households in the Tunbao were also subjected to seedlings, fortunately, the merchants' restaurants and shops were not harassed, which made Luo Yufei a lot easier.
After taking over Tunpu, he disbanded the military team, and the flag officers and sergeants under Zuo Shi ran seventy or eighty percent, so it was okay that the flag officers and sergeants he brought directly controlled the defense of Tunpu.
Now he is still waiting, waiting for the thousand households to send a sergeant, and when there is not enough manpower, he will have to start the drill in a regular manner, ten or two days of drills, and the rest of the time the sergeant has to go to work in the mill to earn food rations for himself and his family.
wants Xiao Ye to form a flag team that does not produce anything, Luo Yufei looks down on it very much, how much grain does it cost, you Ximen Xiao Ye has silver in your hand, it has not been cleaned up, it deserves it, the silver is buried in the cellar so that it will not be peeped at, and it is not safe to put money in the bank.
After waiting for more than ten days, he didn't see the sergeant sent by Qianhu, Luo Yufei's courage that he had just been excited about, and he was randomly invited to eat by three merchants in turn, so he was dizzy and had no thoughts, so he thought about which restaurant to order food in the next place, and whose maid and lady were finished.
If there was a secret woman seller in the tunbao, he might not even bother to stay overnight in a hundred households. Of course, the first thing is to dispose of the people in the military house first.
On the table in Luo Yufei's bedroom, there was a letter, the contents of which made him unable to sleep without drinking.
Whew, whirl, snoring Luo Yufei suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the dark beam above his head, spit out a mouthful of wine, muttered a curse, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lao Yangkou Tunbao, at the north and south fort gates, each hung two dead wind lanterns, which were hung when Xiao Ye was there; The sergeants guarding the gate of the fort, carrying swords and spears, stayed up all night to guard, and there were no patrolling sergeants on the fort walls.
The three teams of sergeants brought by Luo Yufei, like the flag officer, did not go back to sleep in the military house next to the hundred households, but had other important tasks; The two teams of sergeants at the two fort gates were the twenty sergeants who stayed behind and did not leave, and the hundred households randomly designated two acting flag officers to lead them.
When the fifty sergeants sent by Qianhu arrived, Luo Yufei would assign flag officers in the guards and lead some sergeants. On duty for such an important post, he does this, I don't know what kind of idea he thinks.
Da Da, Da Da, the sound of horses' hooves from the avenue in the distance was near, and the acting flag officer on duty at the south gate was slightly refreshed and shouted in a low voice, "Pay attention to the people coming, all stand up, this is not a good limelight, don't bump into the muzzle of the gun,"
Saying the word muzzle, not only him, but even the sergeants on both sides also looked gloomy, the fire/gun on his body was confiscated, the spear and waist knife in his hand, and the wooden shield at his feet, no matter how you look at it, it turns out that this thing is too lazy to look at by yourself, and now it is going to be used for life, how can I be sure.
As soon as he raised his head, a dozen or so sergeants felt a wind in the back of their heads, and they couldn't help but stiffen, and their waists were poked by a hard thing, "Brothers, I'm embarrassed Wang Hu, you lost again,"
Wang Hu walked out of the barren grassland with broken grass clippings, wrapped in two layers of field uniforms, and the sergeants who rushed up were also tightly protected, they touched from the edge of the vine meadow.
Like them, Qin Shi and they were at the south gate, and they were also going to drill through the vine grass, and the sergeant who wanted to be put down by the stinger was also asleep on the ground.
There are pros and cons to everything, and the sergeant, who is quite at ease with the rattan grass, only has his eyes fixed on the intersection, and he can't complain about others when he is touched.
The sergeant with two revolvers and guns in his hand sent the muzzles forward, and the sergeants guarding the fort gate quickly put down their weapons, and everyone was a family, but now they have become enemies and enemies.
Called the leading acting flag officer over, "Muzi, where are the Luo Baihu, where are the Baihu Lady and Xin Xiucai?" ”
The acting flag officer named Mu Ziqiang instinctively straightened his waist, stood up straight and wanted to open his mouth, then his face fell, and his shoulders loosened, "Brother Hu, our family doesn't want to go to the grassland, and we can't help it, but those brothers who went to the grassland, their homes, their belongings and food were scavenged, but people were fine, staying in their own houses, and we dealt with them with even food for a while,"
"I heard that, you still have a conscience, otherwise, hum," Wang Hu waved his hand to prevent him from continuing, "Pick up the important thing, say,"
"Those Jinyi guards locked Xin Xiucai and them in the military compound in the east, and Mrs. Baihu let the Tian family take them away, and they should have returned to Gansu Town when they left two days ago," Mu Ziqiang's words made Wang Hu happy and angry, happy that Xin Weilin was still in the castle, and angry that the Tian family actually took Tian Xiuxiu away, and they simply didn't take Baihu seriously.
The inventory account books in charge of Tian Xiuxiu are from Lao Yangkou Tunbao and Shiguantun, these two places have been directly copied by Jinyiwei, and the account books are useless when they are not there, but if people can't take them back, I'm afraid that Baihu won't have a good face.
However, the hundred households had previously strictly ordered them not to cross the old sheep's mouth fire pier, and they could not even go to the hilly workshop area, Wang Hu could only snort with a stiff face, and drove these sergeants to the side to squat, and the weapons were gathered and kicked aside.
Detain, detain, the brigade of war horses slowly approached the fortress gate from the darkness, and the Tartar cavalry carrying all kinds of scimitars and iron rods, carrying horned bows on their backs, came to Wang Hu; Their arrival made Mu Ziqiang, who saw each other's appearance clearly, secretly frightened.
This kind of left arm with a small round shield, a full head of pigtails, and a rough leather rope stirrup is the hallmark of the Tartar cavalry.
"Brother Tiger, can we go in?" A young strong man led by the Tartars, with his hair tied in small braids, spoke in a strange tone; The only leader of this Tartar with a short fire/gun and a crossbow is the archer of the Galen tribe, Aman, who is a good brother to Atta.
Atta and several people were selected into the flag team, and soon entered the personal guard team of 100 households, and naturally the limelight was not the same for a while; Ah Man also did not lose a head, integrated the strongest fifty young people in the tribe, and invested in the hundred-man team of Yushan and Duding.
A few years ago, they were summoned into Eagle Claw Fort and belonged to Huang Hanxiang, and now they are classified as direct cavalry by the Lord of the Hundred Households, and the garrison is still in Eagle Claw Fort, but their status has been greatly improved.
This sneak out of Shiguantun is their last mission as a cold weapon cavalry, and when they go back to Eagle Claw Fort, they will change their firearms and become lancers, and Ah Man will not dare to slack off Wang Hu's scout team.
He had already inquired about it, Wang Hu and Wang Meng were the first sergeants to follow the hundred households, and it was not the patent of the Ming people to build a good rapport.
"Go, it is estimated that Qin Dazui has arrived at the 100 households, you can go directly to the military compound, you have to remember the military discipline of the 100 households, and you must not harass other military households," Wang Hu turned his face to look at Mu Ziqiang and them, and ordered a sergeant, "You, run and lead the way, see how fast you can run without a drill in the past few days,"
At the sound of the order, the Tartars took out the pine torches, lit them, howled loudly, and rushed into the fort gate, and the sergeant who led the way was so frightened that he ran to the compound of the military house.
The horse team passed, pulled the war horse that the Tartar cavalry kept for him, Wang Hu turned over, picked up the reins and came to Mu Ziqiang, leaned over and stretched his arms, grabbed his shoulders and pulled him onto the horse's back, "Let's also go to the military compound, the hundred households in the province are frightened by the Tartars,"
Obediently, with a lot of strength, the people who eat meat on the grassland are powerful, Mu Ziqiang secretly praised, sat behind and answered in a low voice; The other Wang Hu's sergeants also left the fort gate alone, pulled their horses one after another, and jumped up.
Under the envious gaze of the captives, six war horses rumbled into the fort gate, and Ah Man and they ran along the street towards the military compound, and Wang Hu and them turned a corner halfway, and took a shortcut to the destination in the southeast corner.
"Peng, Peng Peng," "Boom, boom," in the silent old Yangkou Tunbao, there was soon a fire/gunshot, mixed with the explosion of the three-eyed fire system, and even, there were sporadic earth-shattering thunder explosions, faintly heard out of the Tunbao.
"Luo Baihu, Lord Baihu," in the Baihu office, the guards who found that the situation was not good, knocked on the door hard, and saw that Luo Yufei did not respond, so he simply smashed the door bolt and rushed into the bedroom.
"Lord Baihu, enemy attack, enemy attack," under the dim oil lamp in the house, shaking the drunken Luo Yufei, the guards saw that the hundred households were asleep, so they lifted the felt blanket, set him up and walked out.
He led the war horse from the backyard stable, went out of the backyard door, helped Luo Yufei to lie on the horse's guards, bypassed an alley, came to the street, and saw that there was no one on the street, so he hurriedly got on the horse and went straight to the North Fort Gate.
When they fled from Tunbao in a hurry under the sluggish eyes of Mu Ziqiang and other sergeants, Luo Yufei, who was lying on horseback, gradually opened his eyes, where was still a little drunk.
"It's good to come, it's good to come, Ximen Xiaoye, your enemy is not the official, the official loves money, but he doesn't have a conscience, that Zhang Zhong is your sworn enemy," Luo Yufei, who didn't want to mix a foot in it, whispered to himself in his mouth, straightened his waist and grabbed the reins of the horse, and sat firmly on the horse.
"Let's go, let's go to the hilly workshop area, where the deacon of the Huang family still has a banquet, let's just go early, let's go slower on the road," Hehe laughed a few times, Luo Yufei urged the war horse, and ran unhurriedly.
The letter that had been left on the table had been put aside for days, and now it was at last where it was to go; Damn Zhang gelding, he wants to use Lao Tzu as a knife envoy, and he doesn't look at it, Ximen Xiaoye's kid is easy to mess with, he is not afraid of Tartars, but Lei Zhengtang died on the spot for no reason.
As soon as Luo Yufei ran away, Qin Shishi's night owl flag team climbed over the wall and entered the hundred households, and the sergeant who broke into the bedroom with a torch couldn't find Luo Yufei, but he copied the letter from the table and handed it to Qin Shishi.
"This goods, it's fast enough," spat angrily, unable to understand the letter raft in his hand, Qin Shi put the letter in his arms, and went back to hand it over to the hundred households; "Let's go, go to the military compound, what is Wang Hu, this kid doing, the movement is also fierce,"
The three flag teams guarding the compound of the military house were originally on duty around the compound in shifts, but the flag officers in the flag team were replaced by Fang Shanshui's brocade guards, which Luo Yufei didn't know, and he knew all day long about drinking and going to banquets, pondering dirty things like Xiaoniang.
Jiang Cheng was ordered by Fang Shanshui to watch Luo Yufei with his own eyes and kill all the thirty-odd people imprisoned in this courtyard on the halfway road to escort the gravel fort; Helplessly, the sergeant of Lao Yangkou ran out quickly, Luo Yufei did not get the supplementary sergeant of the Thousand Households, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to escort him.
Fortunately, the news came back from the gravel fort, and in the past two days, fifty sergeants will rush to Lao Yangkou, and when Luo Yufei, who has no excuse, escorts these people on the way, hehe, it is difficult to say who is the black hand; Anyway, as soon as the corpse was thrown into the Xilong River, his mission was accomplished.
Tonight, when it was dark, Jiang Cheng and his two companions, after drinking a few glasses of wine, felt more and more eyelids, so they greeted the two Jinyi guards Xiaoqi, and the three of them discussed to take those sergeants with them, and they were all clever at night.
When the military house compound was built, the situation of being attacked by the enemy was taken into account, the wall was high and the courtyard was deep, and on the inside of the courtyard gate, there were not only two transept rooms, but also small windows that were relatively open, which was convenient for fire/gun shooting; There are also steps on the inside of the courtyard wall, and the sergeant can fire at the outside of the courtyard when he climbs on the wall, which is already the biggest advantage that the craftsmen can think of.
However, this kind of compound with both offense and defense, Xiao Ye didn't use it, but was used by Jinyi Wei to detain prisoners.
Good things can't be stepped on, unlucky things come to what, Jiang Cheng, who was sitting in the ear room drinking tea and staying up all night, heard the sound of dense horses' hooves outside, and was about to stand up with great joy, but his face suddenly changed.
Even if the Gravel Fort sent a sergeant by Starry Night, it would not be extravagant enough to have a war horse per person, even if the Jinyi Guard forcibly broke into the old sheep's mouth last time, some of the war horses were borrowed.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng snapped down the teacup and rushed out of the door with a voice, "Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack, prepare to respond to the enemy immediately,"
The more than a dozen sergeants guarding the high wall, who were still puzzled by the approaching horse team just now, although they couldn't see the appearance of the cavalry under the torches clearly, but since the Jiang flag officer shouted below, they were even more nervous, and the flag officer who led the team shouted loudly, and everyone lit up their torches, took out bows and crossbows, and prepared to meet the enemy.
Jiang Cheng's shout made the two brocade-clothed flag officers who were resting in the military house jump up and pull up the flag officers on the side of them, "Quick, gather the sergeants immediately, there is an enemy attack,"
In the military building with a loud snoring, there was a lot of noise in the shouting and scolding of the flag officer who led the team.
When Jiang Cheng ran up the steps with the embroidered spring knife and stood with the patrolling flag officer, not only the flag officer, but even the sergeants on both sides were white; If nothing else, the approaching horse carath, they vaguely saw, was the Tartar cavalry on the steppe.
"Jiang Qiguan, yes, it's the Tartar, the Tartar is here," the flag officer, who had weak legs and feet, pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, our gate is installed, otherwise it will be broken,"
Staring at it intently, Jiang Cheng also took a breath, Si, it's strange, how did the Tartar run here, isn't Ximen Xiaoye at the Madao Stone Castle, and the Tartar has bypassed there?
Don't think about it, Jiang Cheng stomped his foot hatefully, "Damn Ximen Xiao Ye, he dared to secretly communicate with the Tartars, Lord Zhang asked him, so he didn't wronged him," If you want to say that he was framed, Jiang Cheng came with his hands and was extremely skilled, but this time he guessed correctly.
Seeing the horse team getting closer and closer, Jiang Cheng panicked and saw the two companions with about twenty sergeants, disheveled, rushing up, and one torch after another filled the grooves on the wall.
His eyes rolled, Jiang Cheng waved his long knife and shouted at the sergeants on both sides, "Everyone, Ximen Xiao Ye actually brought Tartar soldiers to my fort in order to avenge his personal revenge, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, everyone must guard the courtyard, they can't attack it,"
As he spoke, he patted the shoulder of the flag officer next to him, and the right to do encouragement, Jiang Cheng waved at the two Jinyi Wei companions, called them, and commanded in a low voice, "Let's go over there immediately, and kill Ximen Xiaoye's comrades on the spot, this is not the place where we should stay,"
The implication is that it's time to run, and before leaving, you should be in a hurry, and you can kill those prisoners. Anyway, the Tartars generally have to be robbed and killed after they are broken, and it is not a matter of killing a few more military households.
Before he finished speaking, there was already a sound of brushing the air outside the courtyard, not good, the Tartar suddenly released a cold arrow, Jiang Cheng shrunk his neck, ran down the steps quickly, and leaned against the wall; The two cunning brocade guards also ran down slowly.
Bang bang bang. A dense stream of arrows rained down, and the three of them immediately rushed to the innermost part of the courtyard while they were in the air.
"Ah, ah," on the wall, there were sergeants who had been hit by sharp arrows, screaming again and again, and the three flag officers of Luo Yufei hurriedly shrank their heads and ordered their respective sergeants to pick up bows and arrows and crossbows to return fire, and the precious few fires/guns and three-eyed fires were also fired as soon as possible.
"Peng, Peng," in the night, the muzzle and mouth of the gun spewed out faint sparks, projectiles of various sizes, smashed into the menacing Tartar, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere.
For a while, the Tartar cavalry, who were rapidly assaulting, had just rushed to more than a hundred steps away from the compound when they were beaten and grabbed the reins, leaving a few corpses and retreating.
Seeing that the other party was prepared, Ah Man asked the guards around him to take out the only five earth-shattering thunders, possess them on horseback and rush over, "Blow them up," he said.
When the five horses that had stepped forward and approached the high wall fifty paces away, the sturdy Tartar cavalry got up and pulled the fire rope, raised their hands and threw the earth-shattering thunderbolt out, and was immediately knocked off their horses by the roaring fire/spear and three-eyed fire.
"Boom, boom," the earth-shattering thunder that streaked across the night sky exploded inside and outside the high wall, and the sergeants guarding the wall screamed, and some people were swept over their heads by the flying shrapnel and fell down the steps without saying a word.
The movement at the gate of the military compound made Wang Hu, who ran to the side wall of the military house, sweat beads on his head, and under the guidance of Mu Ziqiang, he beckoned the sergeant to step on the horse's back, and directly climbed over the wall; The few sergeants on duty here were so startled by the sound from the west that they ran directly to support.
Wang Hu, who had just climbed over the wall and jumped on the steps, saw at a glance that there were three black figures, who were rushing towards the innermost military house, and he couldn't help but pull out the revolver and shoot at the black shadows, emptying the six projectiles in the magazine.
The sergeant who followed the flag officer over the wall didn't have time to pull the rifle on his back, so he also pulled out the revolver short/gun, and followed the direction of Wang Hu's fire.
Except for Wang Hu, five sergeants with ten short guns, quickly fired a round of sixty projectiles, and swept the three black shadows to the ground; The figure running at the front had already fallen to the ground with Wang Hu's gunshot.
After catching up, Wang Hu, who was carrying a rifle, stepped forward and stepped on the person on the ground, and the other sergeants then went up and pointed their guns at the other two people.
When, Wang Hu lit up the lighter, and under the light of the fire, he saw that the person under his feet had been covered in blood by the projectile, and he was obviously lifeless, and the person next to him was also snorting and spitting, and a large stream of foaming blood came out of his mouth.
Only the one who fell first was humming in a low voice, Wang Hu let go of his foot and strode over, "Which one brought a torch, light it"
"Brother Hu, there are still people over there," a sergeant pointed to the fire in the west, and there were still sergeants desperately shooting arrows and shooting outside the courtyard.
"The earth-shattering thunder in your hands is for watching and playing, more than thirty sergeants, or Luo Yufei's sergeants, it's not a joke to destroy them," Wang Hu pursed his lips, extinguished the lighter with a snap, and put the hot lighter into his pocket.
Oh, too, the five sergeants hurriedly lined up in formation and formed a platoon, kneeling on one knee facing west, skillfully loading the short/gun with a projectile and placing it on the ground, and the rifle was loaded with a clatter; The five earth-shattering thunderbolts that each person carried on their bodies were also carefully taken out, and the fire ropes were smoothed out and rested within reach.
When they were ready, a sergeant took out a torch, lit it with a lighter, and stuck it in the ground, but the gravel floor was too late to be covered with plaster, otherwise there would be no place to put the torch.
From the hunter team to the sergeant of the night owl flag team, but the most flavorful sergeant under the command of Ximen Baihu, the personal guard team is not counted, almost each of them has a lighter, this kind of prize for the big competition between the flag team, there are three Qin stones alone, and three oil cans.
So, with a shy face, Wang Hu asked Qin Shi for one, and the other sergeants could only barter, and everyone took what they needed.
Under the firelight, Wang Hu saw clearly, good guys, the three people lying on the ground were wearing the costumes of Jinyiwei, and the ones thrown on the ground were embroidered spring knives.
Made, who was also unlucky, happened to run into them, and secretly said that Wang Hu took a step back and raised his rifle, and aimed at the half-dead guy's head, snapping into the ground, and it was a direct matter.
Jiang Cheng, who was injured in a daze, didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, so he was sent down to the underworld by a bullet.
Their movements here, how could the sergeants guarding the gate of the courtyard not be able to see it, seeing that the enemy was already surrounding them, the three Luo Yufei flag officers immediately panicked.
Just as they were about to divide their men to deal with Wang Hu and them, they heard a crisp explosion behind them, and one by one the sergeants fell to the ground holding their chests, and their bows and arrows and long knives were thrown to the ground.
Although Wang Hu's shooting level is average, for a target that is close to sixty paces away, even in the middle of the night, the accuracy is not ordinarily high, and the torch is really too bright.
"Woo, Woo," after the neat row of guns and a magazine was fired, Wang Hu shouted loudly in accordance with the standard rules, "Thunder, rush,"
"Boom, boom," after each person revealed two earth-shattering thunderbolts in a row, there was already smoke and dust billowing on the opposite side, and ghosts were crying and wolves. The six Wang Hu, who were holding short guns, pounced without saying a word; Sixty steps, which is the distance of two breaths.
Through the smoke, I saw that the steps against the high wall were lying full of wailing wounded soldiers, and the three flag officers also fell in a pool of blood, unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Wang Hu, who had watched back and forth, asked the two brothers to open the gate, and he took the three sergeants with him to turn over and pack up the equipment on the ground.
Mu Ziqiang, who was guarding outside the wall, pulled the reins of the six war horses, listened carefully, and after a while, he disappeared from the movement there, and then sighed secretly; The reluctant look that was originally shown at the fort gate has been replaced by a hint of pride.
If you don't have more than a few times or even more than a dozen times the number of troops against a hundred households, wouldn't you be looking for death.
To be a man, you still have to be optimistic about the road under your feet, even if a hundred households walk out of the grassland, who dares to deviate from the good deeds of a hundred households, you must be prepared to be beaten.
Mu Ziqiang, who had been secretly summoned by Wang Ziliang as a sergeant of the shadow team, received the salary of the flag officer in his hand, how could he go to work for Luo Yufei.
Mu Ziqiang, who secretly made up his mind, decided to go back, and took this opportunity to warn his subordinates that we used to be sergeants of a hundred households, and we couldn't touch the mold of the Ximen family in the future.
In the innermost stone houses of the military compound, a pair of eyes stared at the firelight outside through the cracks in the window, and everyone could guess that it should be Baihu who had come back and came back to look for them.
Guo Erbao, Zhang Hao and other disabled veterans, as well as a few maids, Ma Gui's family, as well as Li Muchen and other male and female medical soldiers who had no time to run away, Li Xunwu, Li Xinan and other thirty-six people, were nervously listening to the noise outside.
Only Xin Lilin, who was in a wheelchair, closed his eyes and waited indifferently, waiting for the chaos outside to end, whether it was good or bad, and it didn't take a cup of tea to see the difference; The sergeant standing beside him looked from side to side with bruised faces.
Xiao Ye's father-in-law, Yang Tianshou, stood in an empty military house, with Ximen Hanjuan with a nervous face standing beside him; "Teacher, will he come, brother?" Han Juan's crisp voice seemed so weak in the room.
"Yes, come back, at least he will send a personal guard over, this is a tunbao, and it can't stop your brother's footsteps," holding Han Juan's little hand tightly, Yang Tianshou said kindly, "Unless it's a big thing, your brother will definitely come to pick us up,"
Can he be picked up, Yang Tianshou has no psychological score, he was in the classroom in the private school, and he was directly caught here by Jinyiwei, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside.
The longer he stays here, the more nightmares he will have in his heart, if Xiao Ye can get out safely, his people may be able to live, if Xiao Ye dies or falls into prison, it will be a dead end.
He and Xin Weilin both saw the three brocade-clothed flag officers, and the uneasy feeling in their hearts became clearer and clearer as time went by.
Soon, at the gate of the compound, the sound was quiet, and a rush of footsteps came, and Yang Tianshou, who had a flat face, couldn't help but grab Han Juan's hand; In the military building next door, Xin Lilin's palms were stained with sweat.
The firelight approached, and Wang Hu's familiar voice shouted outside the military house, "Quick, find every military house, our people are invited to come out, clumsy, which hundred households are going to hit the military sticks,"
Hehe, Yang Tianshou's heart was light, Xin Weilin also smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the other men, women, and children, all couldn't help cheering loudly, and a few people with brains cried with joy, and their tears couldn't stop flowing.
Click, a knife split the lock, Wang Hu pushed open the door, held the torch and looked inside, "Everyone, come out, it's time for us to go home,"
