In a deserted courtyard, there were more than thirty people sitting around, and there were only eight of them, sitting in a small circle.

Yes, Mr. Ye and his men.

Mr. Ye just regarded this place as a resting place, and when the officers and soldiers searched for it, he quickly fled. As a result, as soon as he stopped, it was two days, and there was no sound here for two days, and he asked people to go out to investigate, only to learn that the officers and soldiers had stopped searching, and only 50 or 100 people were in a team, patrolling the streets in the west.

Upon hearing the news, Mr. Ye immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the next steps. The tiger-eyed man was the first to speak: "Mr. Ye, is it that Yue Su saw that the door-to-door investigation had no effect, and he felt that it was too disturbing to the people, so he didn't search." After a few days, the limelight has passed, and that's it. ”

"You're so naïve." Mr. Ye sneered and said, "Yue Su is not a person who can give up easily, I have seen him in the Jade Pavilion, this person is not only thoughtful, but also quick and accurate. Now that his people have discovered us, they will not know about it. At the moment, the wind is calm on the surface, but secretly I am afraid that the wind is surging. It's just that we don't know what he's going to do next. ”

"What else can be done, at most, continue to check as at the beginning, the thunder is loud and the rain is small." The tiger-eyed man said: "He has so many people in his hands, and he can still turn Yanshi County over, at most, he can't take care of the east and the west, let's continue to hide." ”

The meaning of these words is actually the truth, and it does not matter. But Mr. Ye couldn't help but shudder when he heard the "buzzing" in his ears. "Yes, he doesn't have enough people right now."

Seeing Mr. Ye's eyes shining, everyone hurriedly stared at him and guessed that Mr. Ye seemed to be aware of something. Sure enough, Mr. Ye said leisurely: "There are not enough people, but mobilizing soldiers and horses, will it be a problem for a Henan governor." Around Yanshi County, Zhengzhou and Luoyang, there are many county towns nearby, and there are now garrisons along the Yellow River. There are four or five thousand people, which is enough to turn this small county upside down, and we will not be able to escape when the time comes. ”

"Ah......" After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized. Yes, as long as Yue Su writes a line, there are not as many soldiers and horses as there are, and when the army gathers and turns over a county seat, it will not be a problem. At that time, where else can you hide, isn't it just sitting and waiting to die. "Mr. Ye, what should we do now?" The crowd asked in almost unison.

Mr. Ye didn't have a good idea, so he pondered for a moment and said: "For today's plan, only by going out of the city before reinforcements from all over the country arrive, can there be a way to survive." ”

"Hit out?" Everyone didn't seem to dare to believe their ears, there were officers and soldiers guarding the four gates, and they still wanted to force themselves out of the city with their thirty or so people, wouldn't it be a dream in vain.

"You can only hit out!" Mr. Ye's tone was very firm. He saw the look of embarrassment on the faces of his subordinates, and said: "Although the officers and soldiers strictly guard the city gate, this is the only chance at the moment. There are definitely not many soldiers and horses in the city, this is a fact, and it is impossible for Yue Su to have heavy troops to guard the four gates, as long as we are desperate, we may not have a chance. We don't have enough men, but aren't there still those people in the city, and if we unite with them, we should have a chance of winning. ”

"Just their good people?" The tiger-eyed man said with great disdain: "We were just affected by them, and now we are joining forces with them, I think it's better for us to break through by ourselves." ”

"Don't underestimate their good people, when I was in the ancestral hall, I saw it clearly, they were all hard stubble, especially those two women, who had some means. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage to assassinate Yue Su. I don't care where they come from, but we are all in the same boat now, and we can only get through this difficult time if we are in the same boat. As for framing us, let's talk about it later, the overall situation is important. Mr. Ye said lightly.

"Mr. Ye is right." Sitting next to the tiger-eyed man was a young Taoist aunt in a white robe, and she said: "Brother Tiger, I think it's better to focus on the overall situation, and we'll find them to settle that account in the future." It's better to think about breaking through now. To tell the truth, Mr. Ye and Sister Snake and I stayed in the city, even if we were arrested and put in prison, nothing would necessarily happen. But with the looks of you, Brother Niu and Boss Rat, once you are caught, you will be the object of torture, and we are also for your good. I think you are wronged. As she spoke, she looked at Mr. Ye again and asked, "Mr. Ye, you said that you were going to find those people to join forces, but where to find them now, they will definitely be hiding in an extremely secret place." ”

What she said was good, among these people, she and Mr. Ye, as well as the green-shirted woman on the other side, don't look like gangsters horizontally and vertically, but the appearance of the other few people really dare not compliment, and at a glance, they know that they are Jiangyang thieves, rats and dogs.

Mr. Ye just smiled at her question and said: "After the battle of the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall, this group of people has become frightened birds, and they must be hiding in the chosen place." In Yanshi City, we are already familiar with the suitable places to live, but there are only a few places. When it gets dark, we'll look for it. ”

They are all thieves, and of course thieves know the surname of thieves, especially Mr. Ye is already very familiar with Yanshi City. When evening came, he led the men out of the garrison and hurried from the south.

The direction he went was really where Zou Feng and the others were hiding.

In a quiet courtyard, Zou Feng and the others sat in it with a disgraced face, the big guys hadn't eaten anything for the past two days, at this time, there was no place to buy money and all the shops were closed, especially the rice shops, and the officers and soldiers inspected the most frequently. The owner of the small courtyard has been killed, and all the food that can be eaten at home has been eaten, and if he really wants to go out to another house to rob again, he really doesn't dare to take this risk.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers are not so closely checking now, the big guy is secretly glad that he thinks that if he hides for a while, he may be able to stop it. When I was about to sleep, I suddenly turned in from outside the wall, and the sound of this person landing was very soft, but the courtyard was too quiet, but it was still heard clearly.

"What people!" Han Lian was the first to stand up. The others then rose up, swords flashing their blades one by one. By the moonlight, everyone could see clearly that the person standing under the wall was the Wensheng son who met in the ancestral hall. Now Zou Feng and the others have vaguely guessed the origin of the other party.

"Don't panic, you don't have any malice here." Mr. Ye said with a smile.

"And what do you mean by being here?" Han Lian asked coldly.

"I'm here to save you." Mr. Ye continued to smile.

"Save us?" Han Lian said coldly: "Don't think that we don't know your identity, you yourself are in great trouble, how can you save us." I don't think you're trying to kill us and throw it at Yue Su so that he won't continue to search. ”

"I'm not that stupid, it's easy to kill you, but it's not that easy to convince Yue Su that you are assassins. Even if Yue Su believes that you are assassins, he will track down those who killed you. I would never do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to myself. I have come here today to save you, and if you don't believe it, you can wait here to die. Don't look at the silence in the city, in fact, the mountain rain is coming, I estimate that he has mobilized the people and horses of the surrounding prefectures and counties to come, and then gather heavy troops, step by step search, I am not afraid that I will not be able to find you. Mr. Ye said calmly.

"Humph!" This time, Zou Feng snorted coldly and said, "You guys will have such good intentions to save us, I think it's ill-intentioned." You said that Yue Su was sending troops to come, then we will all be turtles in the urn, and no one will want to run away. How can you save us? ”

"I won't hide it from you, I plan to take my people, before Yue Su's reinforcements arrive, tonight to seize the gate and kill out of the city, now I just tell you, if you want to come, follow along, if you don't follow, I will report now, sell you, attract Yue Su's men and horses, and I will take the opportunity to get out of trouble." Mr. Ye said it bluntly, but he also pinched the other party's key points and forced the other party to follow. He led his own people to break through with all his might, and the grasp was much smaller, whether it was successful or not, it would make Zou Feng's group of fishermen benefit. You must know that as soon as he breaks through successfully, Yue Su will think that all the people in the Dragon Slaying Gang in the city have fled, and he will no longer search the city. It's a pity that Mr. Ye will never do the wedding dress for others.

"You ......" When did Zou Feng suffer such a wretched anger, after hearing this, he was angry. But before he could have a seizure, he was grabbed by Zimei, and then he heard Zimei say: "What this son said is good, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to gamble, but I don't know what arrangements the son has, let's do it?" ”

Zimei also knows that there is no other way to go now, but to forcibly break through. Just let the other party work hard and enjoy the success by himself, no one is a fool, how can people agree. It seems that it can only be in the same boat.

"You girl has some knowledge. I have already thought of the way out, there are not many soldiers and horses in Yuesu, and there will not be too many people scattered to guard each gate, I estimate that there are only about 100 people, let's set off to the south gate now, and break through the siege. Yue Su never dreamed that if we dared to do this, there would be no ambush. Not only did he not think of it, but the officers and soldiers defending the city also did not think that anyone dared to grab the door, and the defense was naturally lax, and this hour was the time to sleep, as long as he was taken by surprise and rushed out of the city in one go, it was by no means a difficult task. Everyone worked together to be faster, and escaped from the city before reinforcements arrived, and it would be difficult to capture them. Mr. Ye said calmly.

"What you said is good, but the outside of the city is wide, how can we outrun Yue Su's cavalry on foot, and we will not be able to become targets in the end." Han Lian is also a careful person, and after listening to it, she immediately thought of the way out of the city.

"You girl is also careful, you can think of this layer, our people are ready, after leaving the city, they will be broken into pieces and run away. If you are caught, you can only consider yourself unlucky and take poison yourself. You can do it yourself, it's not too early now, and I don't have time to wait for you. Mr. Ye said lightly.

Han Lian didn't dare to call the shots about such things, but she also felt reasonable. Turning his head to look at Zou Feng, he asked, "Childe, what do you see?" ”

At this time, Zou Feng didn't have any ideas, so he had to say: "What do you all mean, if you decide to force yourself out of the city, just raise your hand." ”

There was no way out at the moment, and the big guys were all clear, looked at each other, and finally raised their hands.

"Good! Since everyone has decided so, let's fight. Zou Feng gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that Zou Feng's people had already agreed, Mr. Ye smiled and said, "Without further ado, come with me." So saying, he jumped up the wall and landed outside the wall. Zou Feng and the others followed one after another, and when they turned over the wall, they saw that Mr. Ye and his men were already waiting outside.

When the people gathered, Mr. Ye waved his hand and said, "Follow me." ”

Everyone went all the way to the south, walking through secluded alleys, and did not meet soldiers patrolling the streets. When they arrived at the south gate, it was already nearly four watches, and as Mr. Ye said, the officers and soldiers defending the city were not the slightest defense, and no one thought that this group of assassins would have the courage to confront the officers and soldiers head-on. Many officers and soldiers either leaned against the city wall or slept by the fire on the ground. But in the city there were two men standing sentry.

For these two standing guards, Mr. Ye really has no way to get rid of them, the distance is too far, and there is no bow and arrow on his side, it seems that he can only rush over with lightning speed, kill as many as he can, and then rush into the city gate hole and open the city gate. There is no moat or anything in such a small town, and you can run when you open the door.

"Up!" Mr. Ye waved the white paper fan and shouted softly, and the people under him swarmed up.

Zou Feng's people are not slack, and it is a matter of life and death, the faster the speed, the more difficult it is for the pursuers to catch up. Zou Feng ran the slowest way, not even as good as the man with the broken hand, but everyone didn't expect the two of them to kill the enemy now, and only asked the person with the broken hand to pull Zou Feng to run together.

The outpost in the city was still dedicated, and did not fall asleep, and when he saw someone rushing over, he hurriedly shouted: "What person? ”

The other shouted, "Brothers, hurry up, there's a situation!" After speaking, he picked up the gong on the side and struck it desperately.

Even if a person dies in his sleep, he will wake up when he hears this sound. Some officers and soldiers opened their eyes and saw more than 40 people rushing over, and the other party was still holding a guy in his hand, how could he not understand the other party's intentions. Hurriedly picked up the guy and shouted loudly, "Brothers, someone has come to rob the door." Kill! ”

From the place where Mr. Ye and the others rushed out just now, to the city wall, there is this excellent distance, this square, usually used by the enemy to hoard soldiers and horses when the enemy is attacking the city. I didn't expect it to come in handy today, affecting the speed at which Mr. Ye and them approached.

The officers and soldiers were all awakened, and they raised their weapons to meet them, but they had just slept, and when they were the least strong, the other party was quite strong. As soon as he made a move, the officers and soldiers who took the lead were immediately cut to the ground.

Fortunately, there were a large number of officers and soldiers, and they knew that as soon as the gong sounded, reinforcements would arrive immediately, and they did not avoid the battle and escape, but all moved forward bravely. Because everyone knows the temper of Lord 'Yue Shaving', he is afraid of losing the city gate in battle, and he must not be killed. Especially when I'm outnumbered.

However, as soon as the two sides took over, the officers and men discovered that the other side's true facts were too strong, especially the leading ones, who were simply invincible. Whoever comes near will surely die.

In terms of numbers, there was no absolute superiority in the number of officers and men, and there were a total of 80 people under the city, and the other side had more than 40 people, which was only two to one. The gap in kung fu is really not small, and more than ten people were killed soon, and they couldn't stand it.

But at this moment, someone in the city suddenly shouted: "Brothers, stand back!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the officers and soldiers under the city retreated one after another, and the big guy understood that this was a signal for the city to release arrows.

There were eighty men under the city, and twenty or so more in the city, two of whom were sentinels, and the others were all archers. This is Lord Chincha's protector, and its equipment is definitely more than one level stronger than ordinary troops, and there are many archers.

The head of the general was in the city, and when he saw that the situation below was not right, he immediately asked the archers to prepare to open their bows and release arrows.

"Aim for those leaders, especially the one in white clothes, shoot me!"

The man in white who was always said was Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye rushed to the front, the white paper fan in his hand turned out to be a short sword, and he had already killed two officers and soldiers in a row. If you look at the city carefully, you can see that this person's status is not low, and his martial arts are good, who will he shoot if he doesn't shoot.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" …… Twenty feathered arrows shot straight down, followed by a series of screams. One of them was the most poignant. "Ah......h

Hu Lianzhu, originally an ordinary soldier, has the strength of a handle, but his eyes have always been bad, a little crooked, and the neighbors call him squint-eyed Hu. Such a soldier would never be an archer in his life, but he was lucky to have a good sister. His sister married the general of the barracks, so the brother-in-law used the only privilege in his hand to make the brother-in-law an archer.

In the barracks, there are also three, six, nine and other ranks, and the best treatment is the cavalry, followed by the archers. Although he usually shoots at the target, Hu Lianzhu has never shot at his target, but he is still very open. There are two reasons, the first is strength, others shoot a few arrows, and his shoulders will be sore, and he will not have a problem shooting even a dozen arrows; Second, the superiors have always said that on the real battlefield, there is no need to aim at archery, it is densely packed with people, as long as you can shoot arrows, you can shoot people.

But today, it is obvious that the situation is urgent, and the stakes are very high, and the enemy must not be allowed to escape, and even if people escape, they must leave a few corpses behind. So, Hu Lianzhu aimed at a person very carefully, and this person was Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye wears white clothes, is it more obvious in the dark night?

He drew his bow to the fullest, and when he heard his brother-in-law shout "shoot", he let go of his right hand and waited for the bow and arrow to hit the man in white.

But the bow and arrow were clearly out of scale, and it flew at a distance of about two feet from the top of the white-clothed man's head at an angle of forty-five degrees. But two people were running in this direction, and the arrow was well shot into the left eye of one of them.

"Pounce!"

"Ah......h

It turns out that the words of the superiors are always right, and there is really no need to aim at archery on the battlefield.

Hearing such a scream, many people turned their heads, and as soon as they saw that it was him, someone immediately shouted: "Childe! "Young Master!" …… It turned out that the person who was hit by the arrow was none other than Zou Feng.

This is called good retribution, evil retribution, not retribution, the time has not come.

As soon as he saw Zou Feng hit the arrow, his subordinates hurriedly ran over to help, but Mr. Ye's people didn't have the time to pay attention to him and rushed forward desperately. Seeing that the second round of bows and arrows is about to be fired, if you don't rush into the city gate hole as soon as possible, it will be a live target.

The officers and soldiers also saw the other party's intentions, and rushed into the city gate cave together, and resisted. Mr. Ye understood it and shouted loudly: "Tiger, don't rush in with me yet, if you let the officers and soldiers set up a formation accordingly, we won't be able to rush out." ”

Soldier training, usually practiced with a gun array, used for defense, very effective. Especially in the city gate hole, there will be no one on both sides to attack, just deal with the people in front, that is not as stable as Mount Tai. In addition, there are archers on the top, no matter how good you are, you don't want to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Mr. Ye knew this, quickened his pace, and rushed in when more than a dozen officers and soldiers had just entered the door and had not yet set up their positions. With a dance of the short sword in his hand, like a butterfly wearing flowers, he stabbed three soldiers to death one after another.

The tiger-eyed man and the white-clothed Daogu then arrived, meeting the soldiers who caught up, and for a while the officers and soldiers and Mr. Ye's people were in the city gate hole, and a fierce battle began.

The second wave of bows and arrows on the city had already been fired, and this time the target was the small group of people leaning against Zou Feng.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" …….

Nineteen feathered arrows shot at each other in a dense manner, and the arrow on the pillar of Hu was once again off course. A few more screams followed, and two men were shot dead on the spot, and Han Lian and a man were also wounded by arrows.

This time, they didn't dare to stay here, so they pulled Zou Feng and rushed forward. When I arrived at the city gate, I joined the war group and fought a bloody battle with the officers and soldiers.

(To be continued)
