"Run, boy, greenhead is here. The uncle who told the story before, seeing that they were stunned, kindly warned.

"Green headband, uncle, what is a green headband?" asked Guo Hua in surprise.

"Hey, I can't tell you for a while, you can just assume that they are a bunch of horse bandits. Uncle forcibly explained.

The tavern was a lonely wooden house, and if it was a horse bandit, it would not be a good hiding place.

The sound of gongs and drums came to an abrupt halt, replaced by the neighing of camels and horses, and the arrogant shouts of the reckless.

The gang of bandits had already stormed the town.

The old man was stunned, and almost sat on the ground, and the red face of the little wine just now turned white with fright.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over, it's dead, it's dead, my wife, what can I do. The old man's soul flew away, and he muttered incoherently.

The magpie seemed to remember something, his eyes became cold, and he grabbed the old man's wrist and comforted him in a firm tone.

"Don't be afraid, uncle, we are here. ”

"Loose, loose, let go of your hand, hey, hey, aunt, girl, you're so energetic, my arm is going to break." ”

The magpie let go of his hand, and the old man flicked his wrist and looked at the person in front of him again.

Dugu Huan is dignified, burly, Guo Yu is graceful, handsome and extraordinary, and the girl in front of her is also quite chivalrous in her coldness.

The two men both carried official knives in their waists, and the women also had a slender sword pinned to their waists.

"No, girl," the uncle grinned, "no matter how high your kung fu is, but there are many families, every time you come, you will ride one or two hundred, and you will run away after killing and robbing, hey-"

It turns out that those horse bandits have come not once or twice.

Before entering the village, the three of them looked at the high slope. This town is more than 100 households, with a population of 3,500 people at most.

There is no earthen wall outside the village, but a circle of thorns is densely planted as an outer Guo, and there are large roads at the entrance of the village in the southeast, northwest, and a few veterans guarding them.

There are no garrisons. If the other party really has 200 riders, the people in this town are no match at all.

"Hey, sinners killed these days, our town is not a rich place, they still come, they rob cattle and horses, rob women, sometimes even children, and do evil, evil. The old man cried.

The horses shuttled back and forth outside, but there was no sound of anyone being caught in distress, and the old man said that the families had dug cellars and hid them.

The big guy is in a hurry to go back because of this, and his family also has a place to hide, but unfortunately he is a step slow.

The old man glanced at the three of them complainingly, if it wasn't for the kindness to remind them, he would have run home long ago.

Guo Yu wanted to come out, but was stopped by a magpie. If she goes, it's just some horse bandits, and even if there are really one or two hundred people, they won't be the magpie's opponents.

The magpie pressed his face against the wooden door of the tavern and looked outside.

Before I could see clearly, I heard a few shouts outside.

It seems to be the language of the Oishi people, "There are people, there are people over there", probably shouting this.

Soon after he shouted, the sound of arrows constantly nailing to the wooden door was heard, and the magpie quickly retreated away from there.

The guys were very alert, and the magpie was spotted just by glancing at it.

The "green bands" outside the wooden house gathered more and more, and the whole tavern became their target.

Some arrows shot through windows and wooden doors, stuck there, revealing the sharp arrows of the cold forest.

The old man was so frightened that he couldn't speak, so Guo Yu hid him behind the earthen stove, blocked a few tables for him, and told him not to move.

Probably because he couldn't find a living hole in the village, he focused on the sake brewhouse.

"Come out, and all the people inside will come out for me. "Someone in the green headband is shouting in a different language.

Guo can understand two or three of these languages.

The other party is also afraid that there will be an ambush in the cabin, a trap or something. Don't dare to break in.

"I'd better come, there are too many of them. Guo Yu urged the magpie.

"What if there are too many people? can't you really be an aunt?" the magpie pouted, and began to untie the skin around his waist, groping for something inside.

As an experienced assassin, the magpie's treasure bag has more things than Guo Xuan's, and it is even more miscellaneous, and many things are not famous at all.

What's even more strange is that her master, who is obviously a highly cultivated master, can teach such an excellent assassin.

The magpie took a few bamboo tubes from his leather pouch, drew his dagger and clenched it, and went up to the roof, where there was a vent.

She hung upside down on the beams of the room, and then used her bone-shrinking kung fu to drill through the vent.

I don't know what method she used, but she got out with a snap of her fingers, and she heard a heart-rending scream outside.

Many people screamed a few times before they died of rage.

The magpie is a master of poisoning.

But the situation in front of me doesn't look like poison. If poisonous smoke is used on a large scale to kill enemies, the wooden house will inevitably be contaminated with poisonous gas.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan were puzzled, when they smelled a strong smell of burnt paste and poured it into the house.

Is it fire?

How can it be?

How could this girl ignite such a large-scale fire in an instant?

Then there was the hand-to-hand combat, and the popping sound of sharp weapons stabbing into the chest.

The kung fu was not big, and even the sound of fighting stopped. The magpie was greeted outside.

"Come out, alright. ”

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan glanced at each other, moved the table where the old man was covering the old man, and the three of them walked out of the wine house.

Outside the liquor house was a mess, with more than 100 corpses lying on the ground, a few horses lying on the ground, and more horses fleeing in panic in the distant street.

The corpses were burned to varying degrees, some apparently burned to death, others roasted by the fire, and their throats were cut open and their chests pierced.

It's like Shura hell.

The people here also believe in Buddhism, and when the old man saw it, he quickly knelt down, called the Buddha's honorific name, and recited the scriptures.

Guo guessed that several bamboo tubes of magpies should be filled with extremely flammable powder, scattered in the wind, and then ignited, instantly forming a deflagration fire.

The people of the town, hearing that a girl had single-handedly killed more than 100 "green bands" who had come to the inn, came out of their hiding places and rushed to the tavern to see what was going on.

The people were in a high mood, cheering and cheering, and they simply regarded the magpie as a female bodhisattva who subdued demons and eliminated demons.

The villagers surrounded the magpies, asking questions, and sent some people to clean up the carcasses and catch the fleeing horses.

Others brought food and drink from their homes and spread them out in the open space outside the tavern, which was regarded as a feast for the heroes and heroines.

The scene was very lively, and the people in the town came forward and invited them to stay for a few days very sincerely, which was regarded as gratitude.

Some bluntly said bluntly, they killed these green bands, but there are still a large number of people and horses, knowing the news, they will definitely come to take revenge, and the people in the town will be even more miserable at that time.

Originally, it was just to grab some cattle and sheep, but I was afraid that I would kill all the people in the village.

Their fears are absolutely justified.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan, as officials of the Tang Dynasty, have no reason to stand by and leave.

They learned from the villagers about the origin of the "green headband".

It turns out that these people are big stone people, broken leaves, Talas, there are many big stone people living together, but they can live in peace in the past, even if there are thefts and robberies and the like, they are just small fights, and they don't dare to be too public.

Later, somehow, I heard that a lot of soldiers from the Beiting Protectorate were transferred to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, and the troops of Broken Leaf and Talas were insufficient, so these big stone people gathered together and began to harass the local people on a large scale.

They are usually ordinary people, no different from ordinary people, once they raise an incident, they can quickly assemble, wrap a green belt around their heads, respect fire, and burn and loot everywhere.

The Broken Leaf Guards also organized troops to chase and suppress them, but they were very cunning, they were horse bandits when they were in chaos, and once the officers and soldiers came, they were reduced to pieces and became ordinary people.

Therefore, the suppression of bandits has achieved little success. The people were miserable.

"Hey, it's useless for the officers and soldiers to come, they ran away when they saw the officers and soldiers, and when the officers and soldiers left, they came again. ”

"Yes, yes, that's why it's difficult, we can't do anything about them, and we can't organize people ourselves. ”

"Those Holy Fire Cultists, they are different from others, they usually also organize training in martial arts and cavalry, and we are not their opponents at all. ”

The townsfolk were talking about the green headband, resentful and helpless.

It is also said that when the green headband is in trouble, the head is wrapped around the green belt, and the face is covered, and he can't recognize who is who. When you don't mess up, you change into your usual attire, and you will greet and interact with people with a smile, and you can't hate it because of the affection of a friend.

Those green headbands are very hypocritical and cunning, even if he has killed your whole family, and usually meets him in the market, he is very enthusiastic, and he does business with you as a friend.

They don't have any nests or nests, they are usually people, and they will gather together when they are in turmoil. After the robbery, they returned to their respective homes and continued to pretend to be ordinary people who had no quarrel with the world. That's why the government can't do anything about them.

After listening to people's introductions, Guo Hua and the three of them made a plan to go to Broken Leaf City to mobilize government soldiers, which was not feasible, and it was impossible for government soldiers to be stationed in this town all the time.

If it's just stationed for a day or two, it doesn't make much sense.

It's just a small town, and even if the greenheads come again, they won't send too many people. With the strength of the three of them, it is more than enough to deal with hundreds, or even thousands, of horse bandits.

However, before the enemy arrives, it is necessary to help the villagers think of some long-term solutions.

Guo Hua taught the townspeople how to ram earth to build a wall, the town was not big, and the townspeople all went out, and it took four days to build an earthen wall around the village, which was more than two feet high and more than two feet thick, and the wall was embedded with sharp stones.

Although this "defense" is simpler, it is better than thorn bushes.

Few of the townspeople know how to do kung fu, and if they want to organize a defensive battle, the town must not leak from all sides, concentrate the young and strong people in the town, and fight a blocking battle at the entrance of the four villages, so that there is a possibility of victory.

Guo Hua and Duguhuan trained the villagers in some simple ways to use knives and guns, and also taught them to make simple cuirass out of wooden planks, copper sheets, and animal skins.

Some hunters formed a regiment of archers and taught them some archery skills on the battlefield.

The magpie imparted to them some simple Assassin lore—simple and practical.

For example, the ash of plants and trees mixed with fine sand is sprinkled with charming eyes.

Burn the grease and boil it, and splash it on the enemy.

She also found the roots and fruits of several plants in the wasteland and jungle outside the town, and organized the townspeople to pick them, dry them, and grind them into fine powder.

These things are spicy and weakly toxic, and can cause serious damage to the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Magpies especially teach them how to do antidotes and anti-poison methods, and prepare them in advance so as not to hurt themselves.

However, this thing is relatively rare and cannot be used in large quantities, so it can be loaded with a leather tube or gourd, and when the enemy comes, it will be thrown directly in the face.

The magpie's method is very "ingenious", and it does not require much personal strength and endurance, which can be described as suitable for all ages.

The three of them led the townspeople to prepare for seven or eight days, and on the ninth day, those green bands were indeed killed again.
