The officers and soldiers did not have the ability to fight in the field, and the soldiers who entered the city only spent the night in the city and did not attack.

By the next morning, Qiu Yizhi no longer dared to sleep lazy, got up early, and went behind the barricade at the door of the cell to observe the actions of the officers and soldiers.

I saw that the officers and soldiers were also deploying formations in a scattered manner, but because the field in front of the cell was not wide, it could only accommodate more than 1,500 officers and soldiers in the array.

Qiu Yizhi saw that the official army was very messy when they were arranged, and there was quite an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he called Zhao Chengxiao and others, secretly flashed out of the barricade, and rushed towards the junction of the two different troops, and immediately withdrew to the barricade after succeeding.

After this sudden attack, although the losses were not large, the officers and troops were also in a hurry for a while, and the barely lined up ranks immediately became disordered again, and had to re-array.

Although Qiu Yizhi's side took advantage, he saw that the officers and soldiers were overwhelming, and he did not dare to take risks again, so he could only hide behind the barricade and wait for the changes.

In this way, it was not until noon that the officers and soldiers lined up in order.

At this time, it is really a dog day in the middle of the summer, and the sun is high in the sky, emitting a blazing light like the fiery letter of a poisonous snake, constantly licking the exposed skin and muscles of human beings.

Zhao Chengxiao had already considered blocking the sunlight when building the barricades, so he specially chose a shady place so that the people stationed in it could have a place to escape the heat.

However, the officers and soldiers did not have the slightest shelter in the square, and the officers and men could only stand in the scorching sun without shelter, waiting for the officers to give orders, their mouths dry and sweating profusely. Among them, a few of them were weak, unable to stand the scorching heat, and fell to the ground from heat stroke, and were carried down with foaming at the mouth, which caused some confusion in the procession.

When the officer leading the team saw it, he immediately reprimanded: "What to do? Don't stand up for me yet! Lord Yin is coming, if anyone moves for me, be careful of the military stick! ”

Before he finished speaking, Yin Chengliang's eight-carried sedan chair was lifted from the streets of the county seat, and it passed through the queue very smoothly all the way, slowly stopping between the officials and the barricades.

Yin Chengliang, who is the highest administrative, military, and judicial chief of Jiangnan Province, walked out of the sedan chair slowly, still looking like an elegant and elegant person, took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Lord Qiu, the Jiangnan sergeant has broken through Shanyin County, and the strength is weak, this official still advises you to surrender as soon as possible, and do not resist stubbornly." If this official may be able to look at the face of the emperor and the court, Lord Qiu can not be blamed for the opposition between the official and the army. Otherwise, it will be a catastrophe and ashes! ”

Qiu Yizhi, who was hiding behind the barricades, could hear clearly.

He didn't want to have any more verbal disputes with this Yin Chengliang, but in order to delay time, he had no choice but to brazenly get out from behind the barricade, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Lord Yin was here, and the lower officials were far away!" ”

After several confrontations, although Yin Chengliang didn't know what Qiu Yi's motives were, he also had some understanding of his plans to delay time, so he didn't greet him, and said straightforwardly: "Did Lord Qiu hear the words of this official talent?" If you hear it, don't you quickly lay down your weapons and come out and surrender! ”

Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "Lord Yin's voice is loud, and every word is beautiful, and the lower officials naturally heard it." It's just that there are still some places that are not clear, and I just want to ask Lord Yin for advice! ”

"What's the matter? Say hello. Yin Chenghao is used to being a teacher, and he blurted out these words, and he regrets it.

Qiu Yizhi immediately grabbed the conversation and said, "Lord Yin just said that Xia Guan was an enemy of the official army. This crime is very big, and the subordinate is humble and cannot afford it; However, after thinking about it, it is true that he did not make enemies with the official army. I don't know what the adults say, but what is the basis? ”

Yin Chengliang sneered and said, "The official won't talk about the things of the past few days. It's just Fang Cai, and Lord Qiu's personal soldiers are still sneaking up on the official army column. But it's useless to say more about this matter, whether the adults want to surrender or not, please give the truth. ”

Qiu Yizhi deliberately ignored the second half of Yin Chengliang's sentence, turned his head and asked back: "Yin Tingshi said that you and others obstructed the formation of the official army, is there a case?" ”

How could this group of pro-soldiers admit it? They shook their heads and said, "No, nothing." ”

So Qiu Yizhi turned his head back and said, "Lord Yin, although the group of pro-soldiers under the subordinate are all rough people, they don't dare to deceive me. Since they said that they did not offend the officials and soldiers, then naturally they did not. What's more, there are only a few people under me? How many officers and soldiers came? One lends them a leopard's gall, and they don't dare to hit a stone with an egg! ”

Yin Chengliang didn't grab Qiu Yizhi and would actually play tricks in public, he was really angry, and he didn't quibble with him, so he only asked: "Lord Qiu, this official just said, it's just a waste of time to tear up these things now." The official still said that if you surrender now, you can be blamed for the past; If you resist stubbornly, you must be punished! ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "Xiaguan has also fought, and the so-called surrender must be when the two armies are fighting." The subordinate and the lord are subordinate to the superior, not the enemy, and there is no such thing as fighting each other, so the word 'surrender' is even more impossible to mention. ”

"Good, good, good! Count you to speak. Yin Chengliang said angrily, "Then you take your own soldiers and come out of this broken brick wall, it's not difficult to do, right?" ”

Qiu Yizhi asked rhetorically, "I don't know why the adults want me to evacuate from here?" The lower officials insisted on this place in order to prevent the few important prisoners in the cell from escaping from prison. This is the responsibility of Shimonoseki, so please forgive me. ”

He had an idea, raised his voice again, and said, "What does Lord Yin mean, maybe you want me to release these prisoners, right?" It's just that these criminals are very tricky, and they have already tried the facts of the case and signed it, lest they be bewitched by the villain after they go out and repeatedly retract their confessions, then the case of the next official will not be able to continue. If Lord Yin can make a written note to ensure that these prisoners will not retract their confessions after they go out, then it is not impossible for the lower officials to release them. ”

The evidence that Qiu Yizhi said - Yin Chengliang can never be left; And the words "tricky", "villain", "bewitching" and other words in his words seem to be aimed at Lord Yin Chengliang, who is the assassin in Jiangnan.

These few words exhausted Yin Chengliang's last bit of patience - I saw a blue and purple look on his long white face, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Since Lord Qiu has said this, there is no room for negotiation, I can just wait for the soldiers to meet." After that, he didn't take a sedan chair, turned around and walked away.

Qiu Yizhi saw him leave, knowing that the official army was about to attack like a tsunami in the blink of an eye, he hurriedly turned around and strictly ordered Zhao Chengxiao and his own soldiers to immediately prepare for battle, while he lay on the barricade and secretly observed the actions of the official army.

Sure enough, after Yin Chengliang went back, the officers and soldiers were ready to move under the command of several officers, and slowly pressed up in the direction of the barricade. However, they advanced very slowly, and it took a little time for them to surround the barricades.

Although Qiu Yizhi saw that the official army was not an elite division, after all, there were many people, and he did not dare to take it lightly. He also felt that if he relied on the barricades to fight, the officers and troops might not be able to resist it. So Qiu Yizhi ordered all the troops to simply abandon the barricades, gather at the door of the cell, everyone with knives, assemble in a tight formation, and wait for the officers and soldiers to attack.

Qiu Yizhi commanded in the center of the formation, but heard Zhao Chengxiao ask in his ear: "My lord, you can always move the real character now, right?" ”

The so-called "real action" is to kill the officials and soldiers in Jiangnan.

Now, Qiu Yizhi and the others have reached the point of fighting for life and death with the officers and soldiers, and if they show mercy to their subordinates, it will be tantamount to asking for their own death-thinking this, Qiu Yizhi nodded firmly and said, "That's nature." The opponent wants to kill them all, and we naturally can't sit still! ”

When the eighteen pro-soldiers heard Qiu Yizhi say this, they were immediately boosted and agreed in unison with an "oh".

Before they could finish speaking, they saw an officer and soldier crawling out of the barricade, probing his head inward to observe the situation.

Seeing this person's thief-eyed appearance, a personal soldier under the command of Qiu Yizhi bent down and picked up a broken brick from the ground, took a look at it, and smashed it on the man's head. This pro-soldier already had a little secret weapon kung fu, and this brick was smashed very accurately, hitting this person's head, making him fall down in a daze.

But seeing that "Iron-headed Jiao" didn't say a word, he stepped on the man's chest with one foot, and thrust the blade down, only to hear an extremely dull sound from the person's throat, and he died with a whimper.

"Iron Head Jiao" hit it successfully, and immediately became excited, scolding: "Lao Tzu hasn't seen blood for a long time, and today it makes Lao Tzu happy!" Just come here and kill it! ”

The officers and soldiers did not disappoint him, and as he spoke, a dozen or so soldiers climbed the barricade and looked down.

It's just that the barricade of Qiu Yizhi is cast as tall as one person, and it is extremely strong, like a dam, blocking the flow of officials and soldiers from the door of the cell.

The shape of the soldier is like water, and the shape of the water avoids and tends downward. How to turn scattered soldiers into turbulent waves, and be able to exert their maximum power like a flood peak and tide, is the ultimate pursued by famous generals since ancient times.

However, in order to achieve such a state, it is necessary to have both the command ability of a general and an "art", and the soldiers under him must be strong in martial arts, enforce orders and prohibitions, and have high morale.

It's a pity that these two harsh conditions, the dozen or so officers and soldiers who took the lead in climbing the barricade in front of Qiu Yizhi did not have them - this group of stragglers was like a drop of insignificant water, and jumped down from the height of the barricade one after another without organization, and before their feet could stand, they were seized by Qiu Yizhi's own soldiers, and came to a "white knife in, red knife out", and lost their lives inexplicably.

The officers and soldiers were blocked, and their morale was immediately and greatly damaged, and no one dared to rush into battle recklessly, but stood trembling on the barricades, staring at their comrades who were lying in pools of blood.

Seeing that the advance ahead was stagnant, the officers and officers immediately climbed the barricades, and when they saw that the troops were hesitating, they immediately scolded bitterly: "You cowards, did you grow up eating chaff? There were only a few people on the other side, and they were scared? Hurry up and give Lao Tzu to jump down and kill the enemy? ”

When several soldiers around him heard this, they scolded in their hearts: "Are you bold? If you are bold enough to take the lead in jumping, you can be regarded as a hero! Although he didn't dare to say it, he didn't want to give up his life so easily.

At the time of the stalemate, he heard a military order from the rear: "Lord Yin has an order: implement the military formation and sit in a row - if the front team does not enter, the rear team will cut the front team!" ”

When this military order came, the officers and soldiers were all shocked, turned their heads to see that the comrades behind them had drawn their sabers one by one, their eyes were shining with murder, and their hearts became more and more afraid, and they each thought about it for a while, and felt that it was slightly more cost-effective to fight with a dozen or so people in front of them, so they jumped off the barricade more than one person high.
