Chapter 30: The Bloody Night at the City Gate
When the full moon is in the sky, the bright and gentle moonlight reflects on the royal city of the Kingdom of Goya in the night, as if spreading a white veil of white mist on the earth, adding to the hazy beauty.
At the indefinite terminus (lawless land) of Goa Castle, the two rows of large trees at both ends of the gray station gate, a cool night breeze belonging to late summer blows, and the leaves on the two rows of trees rustle by the night breeze, breaking the quiet beauty brought by the moonlight at night.
It was already deep at night, and the streets around the gray station gate seemed very quiet, and in the distance, the woods and dense fields outside the city gate were occasionally heard with the croaking of birds and frogs in the grass!
The gray station gate, where thirty soldiers were originally stationed, was empty, only a large house next to the gray station gate, but it was still lit with candles, and the sound of baboons came from the house!
The thirty soldiers left the city gate at night, before the curfew arrived, and entered the big house where their thirty men were resting, and drank and laughed together, completely ignoring their duty as guarding the city gate.
The squad leader of the thirty soldiers, drunken and hazy, looked up at the bright moonlight outside the window, then raised his left hand, pulled open the long sleeve, revealed the watch on the wrist of his left hand, looked at the time on the watch, and then muttered dissatisfiedly: "Ah, so sleepy!" Why is it only half past nine in the evening! Ten o'clock hasn't even arrived yet! Lao Tzu's "goddess" is still waiting for me in Duanzhen! Damn it! ”
After speaking, he took a sip of water on the ground and drank the beer in his hand angrily.
To tell the truth, he was really dissatisfied with the duties of guarding the city gates, getting up early, sleeping late, opening the door at six in the morning and closing at ten o'clock in the evening.
A soldier next to him saw the empty wine glass in the squad leader's hand, picked up the beer diligently, bent down to pour beer into the empty wine glass in the squad leader's right hand, and said with a smile: "Captain, I'm drinking a glass of beer, the small one is full for you, anyway, there is still half an hour, you squint first, recuperate, and when the time comes, I'm waking you up!" ”
"Hmm!"
The squad leader glanced at this soldier who was so "sensible" and "knowledgeable" with great satisfaction, leaned on the soft back cushion, squinted his eyes and said softly: "What's your name?" ”
A sensible person who knows how to cater to his boss's ideas will always be liked and cultivated by his boss! At least the squad leader suddenly had a good impression of the soldier who usually didn't look down on him and didn't know his name, and he was ready to write down his name, so that he could "promote" him in the future and give him a place with oil and water.
The soldier was overjoyed and was about to open his mouth to answer.
Bang! Bang! Bang bang! ...
A sharp knock on the door interrupted the soldier's words, and all thirty people in the room turned their heads to look at the door where the knock sounded.
The squad leader slowly opened his eyes, and saw that all the soldiers were drunk and hazy, and no one wanted to get up and open the door, so he turned to the soldiers who had not yet said their names and looked very sober and said, "You go and open the door and see who it is?" ”
The soldier nodded with a smile on his face, got up and walked towards the gate, but his heart was secretly ruthless, seeing that he was about to say his name to impress the captain, I don't know which bastard who killed a thousand knives disturbed his good deeds, it was really damned!
The soldier scolded all the way to the gate in his heart, as long as he was not an acquaintance, the soldier decided that he must give him a good look in the future.
The gate was opened, and in the dark night, under the light of the torches on both sides of the gate, the soldiers saw that there were a group of peasants in linen clothes and costumes standing in front of the gate, all of whom were people they did not know, and they could not be nobles, and the anger in their hearts suddenly surged.
As soon as he wanted to scold, he saw the sharp long knife in their hands that reflected the cold light due to the firelight, the soldier blinked his eyes, as if he suddenly understood what was happening, his legs suddenly trembled and he couldn't stand on his feet, and a cold sweat suddenly came out of his forehead, and he just wanted to turn around and open his mouth to shout for help, only to see the tall and burly man with a Chinese face standing in front of his mouth smiling at himself, laughing so cruelly and excitedly, the man with a Chinese face waved his right hand, and he only saw a flash of silver light in front of him, and he lost consciousness!
The team leader, who had been squinting at the soldiers to open the door, saw the soldiers standing in front of the door, and suddenly didn't know why a sharp long knife outside the door waved at the soldier's neck, and the soldier's head was suddenly separated, and his wide-eyed head was squeezed and fell to the ground by the blood spurting out of his neck, making a loud noise! The team leader, who had never seen such a bloody scene, was speechless in shock and shock, and just stared at the corpse lying on the ground at the door with his mouth wide open!
When the other twenty-eight soldiers were also holding their wine glasses in a daze and were about to turn their heads to look at the gate that made a loud noise, Gerson, who led thirty men dressed in sackcloth, brandished the long knife shining with cold light in his right hand, and said excitedly: "Brothers, don't make too much noise, and fight quickly!" Kill in, leave no one behind! It's time for Boss Becky to get moving, we can't afford to hold back! ”
"Oh!"
The big men behind Gerson all cheered in a low voice, each holding a long knife with a flickering cold light, followed Gerson's footsteps, quickly rushed into the big house, and launched a bloody massacre against the thirty soldiers in the room who were paralyzed by alcohol because of excessive drinking......
The big men in linen clothes were very powerful, broke into the big house, they were divided into two teams, one left and one right, to the soldiers who were still sitting in their seats and did not know what was happening, in the case of their delirium, paralysis of hands and feet, and inability to resist, the big men slashed at the soldiers' vital points with one knife and one stroke, and the powerful one stabbed again, and the lightly stabbed again, and the devastating ones solved all the kingdom soldiers in the house within two minutes.
On the table, the wine glasses, the floor, everyone's white linen clothes, all the traces of blood, and the bloody corpses in the room exuded bursts of bloody gas, which made the tragic situation of death unsightly, it was really shocking!
And the thirty-one big men standing in the room, looking at the miserable image they had caused themselves, smelling the bloody smell that made people vomit, without a trace of discomfort, showed cruel and satisfied smiles on their faces, Gerson stood among the corpses full of corpses, smelled the tempting and exhilarating bloody breath, and said in a low voice: "The Tina family is personally handled by the boss and Jer, and after the Tina family is solved, the brothers who entered the city today will retreat back to the mountains, and now the danger of the city gate has been solved. The brethren went to their chambers to change into their knightly armor, and we went to take their place and continue to guard the gates. ”
Looking down at the thin soldier's uniform on the soldier's body, and the knight's armor piled up in the corner, Gerson was very disdainful when he saw that the corpses of these soldiers were all with beer bellies and disgusting faces full of fat.
"What a bunch of pigs who have been living in luxury and have lost their minds, look at your fat-headed pig brains, and the Kingdom Guard? It's a joke that you are the ones who defend the kingdom! ”
"A group of usually high-spirited watchdogs have not become a group of dead dogs, damn, listen to Tucci, just you thirty soldiers stationed at the city gates, occupying the identity of the Kingdom Guard, in the streets managed by our "beast" gang, summoned more than 20 girls, did not give money, and drank overlord wine in the tavern, damn, it is really more thieves than us bandits, at least we bandits also know that the poor woman's flesh money cannot be less! ”
The more Gerson spoke, the more angry he became, stepping on the face of the fat-headed and big-eared captain, rubbing the face of the dead captain with the sole of his shoe, and talking to himself to vent the anger in his heart.
"Which of the girls in Duanzhen doesn't force a smile in the face of men, do you think they are voluntary? are all forced by life, so they become girls who ride 10,000 people, just to earn living expenses, and some have a family that relies on them to sell meat to feed, don't you pity them, forget it, and come to our street to bully them? ”
"Even Lao Tzu went to the street in charge of his brother by himself, and he gave enough hard money, where did you dare to play with them and not give money?"
"Phew, a bunch of scum! It's a bargain to kill you tonight! In normal times, Lao Tzu would have taken you to the mountains and let you die in wailing for three days and three nights! ”
The brothers looked at Gerson who was venting, and they were all relatives, everyone was born in a poor family since childhood, and they were naturally hostile to these people who oppressed the people by virtue of their official status, and they naturally regarded Gerson's humiliation of the corpse as invisible, so they stepped on it together!
However, one of the big men put on the knight's armor and held a smoothbore gun, and asked Gerson, "Three leaders, didn't you say that you will act after ten o'clock in the evening?" How did it come half an hour earlier! ”
This remark caught everyone's attention, and other brothers also chimed in.
"yes, I haven't finished my beer just now, and I'm going to follow you out all of a sudden!"
"Besides, I'm still playing cards, and I just drew a good hand of cards, and I was called away by Gerson!"
"yes, didn't you say it started at ten o'clock in the evening?"
....。
"Huh!" Gerson shook his head and explained with a smug expression on his face, "You don't understand this, do you? The time of the 10 o'clock operation is the time set for other bandits, and of course our time has to be solved half an hour in advance! ”
"Why? There are actually other cottage bandits entering the city? ”
"Of course!"
Gerson nodded proudly, took out a pack of expensive cigarettes from the trouser pocket of the soldier captain, took one in his mouth, threw the cigarette to the brothers, picked up the blood-soaked lighter on the table, found that it was still lit, and lit it for himself.
Soon, the whole house was filled with smoke!
Gerson spat out a puff of his cigarette, pointed at the bewildered brothers present with the finger holding the cigarette, and began to explain to them in hatred.
