Chapter 67: Killing Chickens with a Knife

Looking at the bandits outside the city with torches and attacking the city in batches, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that the archery skills of these bandits were much higher than those of these city defense troops. And the swordsmen they chose to break the city, under the cover of wooden shields, constantly stormed the city gates.

From the siege routines of these bandits, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that these bandits were not simple. Under normal circumstances, as long as the bandits are not stupid, they will not take the initiative to attack, and a county town with an army stationed in the Great Song Dynasty can be tantamount to rebellion.

Secondly, most of the methods adopted by bandits are guerrilla-like tactics. If you can't fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can run. A siege like tonight, a bit of a desperate siege is not a survival rule that bandits should abide by at all.

Standing on the city wall, Zhao Xiaoxi could still see that after the bandits who attacked the city, there was a cavalry of dozens of people. They stood in the back, acting as warlords, commanding archers and daggers, constantly attacking the gates.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi took several guards to the city, and also fell into the eyes of the robbers in Qingyunzhai outside the city. The old butler of the county order, who was accompanying the big boss, immediately said: "The big boss, that person is the king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

The leaders of Qingyun Village, who thought that it would be easy to attack the city, did not expect them to enter the city smoothly. Suddenly, they were counterattacked by the city defense army, and the archery skills of several archers defending the city also cost them a lot of money.

Fortunately, at this time, the butler was also sensible, and raised the price of the bounty at the right time. In addition, they have already launched an attack, and whether they retreat or attack, they will suffer the serious consequences of the siege.

At the moment, all they got was a verbal promise from the steward, and if they didn't get the cash, where would they be able to flee even if they fled? If you have money, you can go anywhere in the world, but if you don't have money, you can't move an inch!

Hear it now. The target with a price tag of four thousand taels of silver appeared, and several leaders of Qingyunzhai immediately looked at it and said: "Wow, I can't imagine that this king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty is still a little bloody!" At this time, do not hide in the county office. but ran up to the city.

Big brother, let the brothers work harder! As long as the city gate is breached, with a few guards around him, it is easy to kill him. It's just Steward Chen, if you lose your trust after the deed, don't blame the knives in the hands of the brothers for not recognizing people! ”

Listening to the words of these robbers, Steward Chen quickly said: "Don't worry, all good men, as long as you go into the city and see my wife, I promise you a lot of money." Let alone. With today's events, everyone is in the same boat. ”

The robbers in Qingyunzhai saw Zhao Xiaoxi appear and decided to attack the city with all their might. When they went to get those gold and silver treasures that they would never forget, the cavalry under Zhao Xiaoxi also completed the assembly inside the city gate.

Seeing that the cavalry was ready to attack, Cho Hyo-seok, who was preparing to give the order to attack. But I heard the sound of gongs ringing behind Qingyun Village. Immediately made a gesture to pause the opening of the city, and quietly looked at these bandits outside the city. What is the intention?

For Zhao Xiaoxi, the bandits who came to attack the city tonight all committed the capital crime. Compared to these city defense troops, their actions have become unforgivable rebels.

Whatever their reason, there are some floors that cannot be addressed. Cho Hyo-seok who thinks about these things clearly. When giving orders to the cavalry, he also gave the order to disarm and not kill. In addition, those who dare to flee or resist will be killed.

Although it was night at this time, there was an open space outside the city, facing the pursuit of the royal cavalry. They have little ability to resist. And laying down their arms does not mean that they will survive.

It's just that for those who surrender, whether to kill or not to kill in the end will have to wait for tomorrow's interrogation. What Zhao Xiaoxi has to do now is to warn the families of Qiongzhou through this battle that the consequences of confronting the palace are very serious.

In his opinion, these bandits attacked the city overnight, and there were also people from the Chen family involved. I want to come to the Chen family of Tingmai, and there is an inseparable relationship. It seems that even if he wants to let the other party go, the other party won't give him this chance!

Just when the city defense army at the head of the city saw the bandits retreating, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The cavalry also notified the defenders who resisted the city gate in time, quickly removed the debris piled up at the city gate, and even put down the bolt of the city gate.

If the bandits outside the city are trying to escape, they will immediately launch a pursuit. If they are to stop and fight again, then the cavalry of the Guards will give them a head-on blow. With their strength to deal with these bandits, it is naturally no longer a problem!

When Zhao Xiaoxi accompanied Zhao Wu and the others, staring at the actions of the bandits outside the city. Seeing that these bandits were not running away, but regrouping and preparing to fight again, Zhao Xiaoxi said to the guards beside him: "Let the guards prepare to attack!" ”

The cavalry guarding the city gate made a 'ready' gesture, and the four cavalry quickly ran behind the city gate, ready to open the city gate. Now what they have to wait for is the preparation of the city gate to sweep out of the city in a big way.

When the cavalry prepared their swords and guns, the Qingyunzhai bandits outside the city were also listening to the encouragement of their masters. Hearing the great master say, "Brothers, the gold, silver, riches, and silk are all yours when you enter the city."

After laying down Tingmai City, we will be able to eat and drink spicy food. Tonight's battle is the battle of our Qingyun Village's fame. Brothers, if you want to make money, want to live a good life, and want to sleep with a woman, wait until you take out all the strength to breastfeed and kill me! ”

'Kill, kill, kill!' ’

This kind of cheering method is undoubtedly very tempting for these bandits. At this time, no one cared about the brothers who died in the previous battle. Their minds are full of fantasies about robbing treasures and women after the siege.

The bandits who were beaten with chicken blood, with the wave of the big master's big knife, had legs that seemed to be a little immobile before. But now he screamed and rushed to the gate of the city. Don't even need a shield, go straight to the siege shirtless.

Looking at these bandits, planning to take down Tingmai City with all their might, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Xiaoxi's mouth and said, "Zhao Wu, take the brothers down to the city." Open the gates and follow the cavalry to destroy the enemy! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Wu immediately said excitedly: "Obey!" ”

After speaking, the city defense army, which had also become excited, all took down the city wall. At this move, the bandits who watched it were also very excited and shouted: "The officers and soldiers have run away, and the brothers are rushing!" Fight into the city and live a good life! ”

Just when a group of fast-legged bandits were about to raise the battering rod and prepare to hit the city gate, they saw the city gate that had been repeatedly knocked open. It squeaked and was knocked out of it.

Seeing this meeting, Steward Chen, who was following the big boss of Qingyunzhai, immediately frowned and said: "Okay, it seems that the city is already in chaos, and those city defense troops are only afraid of defection." The big thing has been decided! ”

Hearing this, the big boss of Qingyunzhai who led the cavalry to suppress the formation was also full of joy with those hardcore henchmen. I feel that now, they don't have to worry about losing manpower, and they can control Tingmai City in their hands.

And at this time, there was a henchman who wanted to kill the prince of the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for a big boss with a future. He even shouted: "Brothers, kill the king of Qiongzhou, return to China to be an official, kill!" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, something horrified the infantry bandits who were fighting in the vanguard. In the passage where the city gate was wide open, there was a sudden and rapid rush out, one by one wearing armor and armed with swords and guns.

Looking at the appearance of this group of cavalry, the bandits who took the lead also looked stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped their steps to rush forward. was a little dumbfounded, looking at the ironclad cavalry that kept rushing out from inside the city gate.

For these bandits who stood in a daze, the cavalry of the guards who swept away, he didn't think about it at all. With the swords and spears in their hands, as in training, they reap their heads. In an instant, all the bandits knew that today they were finished!

Such elite cavalry is simply not something they can fight against. Now don't talk about robbing money, even if you want to escape, I'm afraid it's a luxury! But out of instinct, they still turned around and ran desperately to the rear.

The big boss of Qingyunzhai, who was also frightened by the appearance of the cavalry of the Guards, and his cavalry squad. From these cavalry, ruthlessly killing, it is known that this is the elite cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although these cavalry seemed, the number was not very large, only more than a hundred people. But there is almost no problem in eliminating these hundreds of bandits. Even under the charge of the cavalry, the bandits without horses had only the share of escape.

The blood that was just full of enthusiasm was extinguished by the appearance of these cavalry. Looking at the stunned Steward Chen, the big boss of Qingyun Village said with a hideous face: "Shaft, you dare to deceive us?" How can we fight against such cavalry? ”

If it weren't clear, the Chen family wouldn't be a good bird. This big boss has the heart to kill him on the spot. At this time, Steward Chen stammered: "No, no, it's impossible!" There are no cavalry in the city! ”

It's just the cavalry of the Guards, who don't give them any chance to talk again at all. Looking at the swept cavalry of the guards, the cavalry beside the big boss immediately turned his horse head and said: "The big boss, don't be invincible, run away!" ”

But the big boss who was still high-spirited before, but at this moment, he was a little depressed and said: "Run, run there!" This is Qiongzhou, the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and we can escape there without warships! ”

In response to his words, the hardcore henchmen hurriedly said: "Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”

The words were good, but the cavalry who charged almost didn't pay much attention to the rout of the horseless bandits. Just killed all the bandits who stood in front of them under the horses, and went straight to this bandit cavalry.

Killing these already frightened bandits seemed to the cavalry to be a bit of a knife to kill chickens. They prefer to find these bandits who are also cavalry, and have a good time with the addiction of cavalry fighting, who calls it pitiful that there are few opportunities to fight in such a place!

Looking at the bandits who were sweeping the siege like a bamboo, Zhao Xiaoxi also felt it. In the face of absolute strength, any number and guts are in vain. In this battle, he has already won or lost, and the rest is how to deal with this matter! (To be continued......)
