Chapter 643: Bandits (1)
Pei Jue felt a chill in his heart, and looked up at his brother: "Big brother, do you mean that these people are not ordinary bandits, but are coming for our Pei family?" ”
A coldness flashed in Pei Zhang's eyes, and he said lightly: "The Pei family is the prince's family. If the Pei family were killed by bandits on the way to exile, it would disgrace the prince. will make people laugh at the prince, and even his family can't keep it. It will greatly weaken the prestige of the prince in the government and the opposition. ”
"The current Pei family only has this 'use' left. How can people who have bad intentions towards the prince be willing to let go of such a good opportunity! ”
"He Qi specially sent a hundred soldiers to come, and sent weapons and war horses, just to remind me that this road must not be peaceful."
Pei Jue gasped when he heard this, and whispered urgently: "According to what the eldest brother said, these people have ill intentions, and they are also prepared. How do we cope? ”
Pei Zhang said coldly: "Don't worry, the number of 'bandits' will not be too much." Otherwise, it is not an assassination, but a plot ~ against ~ rebellion ~ rebellion. They weren't that brave yet. ”
"We have 500 Imperial Forest Army, 100 elite soldiers of the He family, and more than 80 sons and daughters of our Pei family who can kill the enemy with a knife."
"No matter who comes, come and kill one, come and kill one, come and kill two! Let them have no return! ”
In just a few words, there was a chilling killing intent.
Pei Jue's blood surged, his heart was surging, and he nodded without thinking: "What the eldest brother said is true." Whoever wants to fight our Pei family's idea, we will never spare them! ”
Pei Zhang commanded in a low voice: "You go and gather Pei Jiaerlang and tell them to be vigilant at all times." On the side of Commander Li and Su Mu, I personally went to discuss with them how to deal with it. ”
Pei Jue opened his mouth in response.
……
A few more days.
When the Pei family set up camp outside the post house, they were raided by a group of bandits.
Dozens of bandits, dressed in tatters and unkempt, pounced on each other with long knives like tigers and wolves. The night was so dark that I couldn't see the faces of these bandits clearly, and I could only see the cold light of the blades.
The old and weak women and children of the Pei family were so frightened that they screamed and cried.
However, before they all cried, Pei Jiaerlang took out the long knife in his hand and greeted him fearlessly.
Pei Zhang's eyes were full of murderous intent, the long knife in his hand was like electricity, and one shot at the face, and the long knife pierced the chest of a bandit. Drawing the long knife, it brought out a terrifying bloody light.
Pei Jue has practiced martial arts for many years, and his skills are not weak. It's just that he has never seen blood kill people, and he can't be as ruthless and decisive as Pei Zhang. After a few moves with a fierce bandit, he slashed at him coldly, and the unlucky bandit was almost cut in two by the waist.
The strong smell of blood rushed straight to Pei Jue's snort. The scene of flesh and blood is even more disgusting.
Pei Zhang said coldly: "Pei Jue, kill the enemy!" ”
Pei Jue didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately raised his long knife and fought with another bandit. Soon, the bandits died by his sword.
Su Mu led the soldiers of Hefu into the battle. Under the command of Commander Li, the five hundred Imperial Forest Army dispersed, vigilant around the darkness.
Sure enough, when most of the dozens of bandits were killed, more bandits rushed over. The bandits who appeared later were all dressed in black, their heads and faces were covered by black cloths, and only their murderous eyes were exposed. At a cursory glance, there are at least two hundred people.
Commander Li's expression was cold, and he shouted loudly: "Kill all the bandits!" Not a single one to stay! ”
The shouts of killing, the screams before death, and the cries of the daughters and children of the Pei family were mixed together, floating in the air.
The post house and more than a dozen post men were so frightened that they hid in the empty room on the second floor.
The Great Chu Dynasty has never been peaceful, and there are often civil unrest, and the gangsters are running around. However, it is really rare for these bandits to directly attack the officers and soldiers.
"Where are these bandits coming from?" A postman was full of horror, and his voice kept trembling: "How can you have such a big courage to dare to kill officers and soldiers?" ”
Another post man replied in a trembling voice: "Who knows." In this world, there is really no way to live. ”
Yi Cheng had some insight in the end, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Shut up for me!" The bandits have nothing to do with us. Don't keep quiet, if you are lured by the bandits, a few knives will kill you! ”
What kind of bandits dare to kill officers and soldiers?
What kind of bandit can have such a good weapon?
What kind of bandits refused to retreat even after being killed one after another?
The more I think about it, the more frightening it becomes. Yi Cheng couldn't help but shudder, and secretly prayed that the Royal Forest Army would kill the bandits quickly and not affect them.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou, who was sitting on the flatbed car, also kept praying in fear and trembling.
God willing, Brother Pei Zhang must be safe and sound!
……
An hour later, the bandits were finally killed, leaving behind more than 100 corpses, and the remaining bandits fled in the darkness of the night.
Pei Jue was so strong that he reflexively held a knife and was about to chase.
"Second brother! Don't chase the enemy! Prevent there are traps! Pei Zhang, who was covered in blood, spoke out in time to stop him.
Pei Jue and the rest of Pei Jiaerlang are all headed by Pei Zhang. Pei Zhang opened his mouth, and everyone stopped. Next, there is a more important matter, counting and searching the corpses of the bandits.
In this battle, the bandits suffered many casualties. Several members of the Pei family were also seriously injured, about a dozen were slightly injured, and two were killed in battle.
Some of the He family's own soldiers were also wounded, and three of the Imperial Forest Army were killed.
The two medical officers couldn't stop the night, busy treating the wounded. Chenpi's medical skills are also good, and he is responsible for treating and caring for people with minor injuries.
Commander Li's eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll send a message back to Beijing." These bandits are really bold enough to raid officers and soldiers. ”
Pei Zhang warned before, and although Commander Li responded with one mouthful, he didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, the bandits actually came.
Pei Zhang, who was covered in blood, replied in a deep voice: "There is Commander Lao Li, who stated in the letter that the identity of the bandit is suspicious, and asks the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to strictly investigate." ”
Commander Li glanced at Pei Zhang and nodded solemnly.
Pei Zhang went to Mrs. Yong'an Hou again: "Half of the bandits were killed, and the rest were killed and fled." Mother doesn't have to worry, she can sleep and rest, tomorrow we have to get up early and hurry. ”
When encountering bandits and other things, they couldn't stop the Pei clan from being exiled, and everyone had to continue their journey the next day.
Mrs. Yong'anhou's eyes were swollen into peaches, and her voice was hoarse: "Azhang, have you been injured?" ”
Pei Zhang was covered in blood, and the killing intent in his eyes had not faded: "I have the blood of bandits all over my body, and I am not injured." "Actually, there was a minor injury on her leg, but don't tell her.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou still cried again: "Ah Zhang, where did this bandit come from?" Our Pei family has nothing, why do people still want to kill us? ”
