Chapter 125: The Livelihood of the White Mask Book
It was calculated.
The bandits were obviously aware of the movements of the main army, and they might have even rounded the mountain gorge to surround them from all sides, and now that the army was in chaos, it was the time for them to swarm up!
The indiscriminate arrows grazed the bun around their ears, and those who couldn't dodge could only watch as the spikes pierced their comrades.
Lu Yixuan's long sword was able to block the arrows that flew away, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the silver-white knife light above her head, she "drank" and jumped back, committed to the anti-sword elbow and hit the thief who swept in, the person was hit hard in the chest and flew into the tree and screamed again and again, Lu Yixuan saw this and hurriedly dragged the little soldier who escaped death at his feet and threw it back.
"I can't retreat, rush to the city, everyone rush to the city!"
She immediately made a decision and shouted, these thieves didn't seem to want to kill them all, but like a big net in all directions, forcing them to retreat into the huge walled city, now is not a bloody fight to the death, Su Yicongee and Qiu Lian and others The situation is unknown, and the other team has been ambushed and clashed, the situation is unexpected, Lu Yixuan does not want to lose troops for no reason, so he has to retreat to the walled city.
She did not flee to the front, but drank a few small generals and squad leaders left at the tail of the army formation to break the back, and the people around her wailed in pain and blood flowed all over the ground, and they dragged their broken bodies to resist and lean towards the gate of the walled city.
There was a bang.
The cast iron gate was easily pushed open, and everyone couldn't wait to rush into the walled city, and when the iron gate was closed, only a large number of arrows could be heard, and the back of the head was all hit outside the iron gate.
Many of them were wounded, lost too much blood from arrows, and collapsed in the corner, while the remaining soldiers hurriedly tore open the medicinal cloths they carried with them and bandaged them.
There was not much hindrance in the walled city, and the few thieves who resisted were beheaded by the soldiers, and it was an empty city at all.
"Catch turtles in the urn, but we have become the king." Lu Yixuan spat on the ground, her hair was sticky to her face because of sweat, and her arms and robes were full of blood stains left by saving people, she clenched her fists under the light armor and stared at the back of the door viciously.
"What the hell is going on?" The pale-faced young soldier snorted, he was hit by a feather arrow in his shoulder, gritted his teeth and grabbed the handle of the arrow and pulled it out so hard, the back molars made a "crunch" tight sound, he gasped heavily, if it weren't for Lu Yi's quick eyes, maybe his life would have to be explained in the barren mountains and mountains.
Lu Yixuan didn't speak, she gently attached her ears to the iron gate, heard the crowd of people, saw the crowd, and the bandits surrounded the entire walled city with cheers of victory.
Tens of thousands.
And they who are trapped in the beasts have become trophies.
"Captain Zhou, then, what about the brothers outside?!" Some people couldn't hold back, and even their voices trembled, they were hiding in the walled city, but the fights and screams they had just heard were endless, and the thieves had already clashed with others.
"I'm afraid I'm dying." Zhou Ye spat on the ground, tore off the strip of cloth from his military robe, and bandaged the wound on his shoulder indiscriminately.
Hearing this, many people looked depressed, flustered and at a loss, their three thousand people were full of ambition to go up the mountain but did not want to be attacked by thieves, now half of the brothers died in Huangquan, and they were forced to hide into the city like a lost dog!
"Won't we be able to run away......" whispers of fear filled the crowd, and fear would become an atmosphere of exaggeration, igniting a fire of fear in everyone's hearts.
"What are you trying to do!" Zhou Ye twisted his arm, and the long sword stood up, since he was ordered by the emperor to come to the corner, don't think about whether he will be able to be prosperous and rich in the future, and he will be a soldier if he is greedy for life and afraid of death!
And all the people hung their heads in vain.
"Then, if the thieves outside rush in and rush in, what should we do, do we fight with them, just, just rely on us people?" Although they are not old and weak, they are remnants, and everyone is worried.
Lu Yixuan retreated two steps slightly away from the walled gate, she naturally heard everyone's fear: "Instead of worrying about thieves breaking into the city, it is better to think about it, if it is the mountainside mine at this time," she stretched out her hand and pointed to the fog peak, "What will happen if you fire several cannons." ”
There was silence for a moment, and everyone's faces froze slightly.
Yes, if those ten Hongyi cannons bombarded the city at this time, all of them would be crushed.
Zhou Ye's eyes widened, and he felt that the pain in his shoulder was extremely unbearable: "Could it be that you are suspicious ......?"
"Chapter See." Lu Yixin determined the way.
"What?" Many people looked back in surprise, yes, Zhang Jianzhi knew that this person had been in the camp all day long and did not look down, he had a good temper and did not talk much, and he seemed to care about everyone, he was the little lieutenant brought by Qiu Lian, so naturally no one doubted him.
"How is it possible, Lord Zhang!" Zhou Ye couldn't believe it.
"If there are anyone in the camp who has gone down the mountain, Zhang Jianzhi is one of them, "It is not impossible to take this opportunity to inform the government and thieves of everything in the mountain camp," General Qiu's people may not be his cronies, and it is not inappropriate for the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to recommend Zhang Jianzhi at first glance, but Lord Zhang was stationed at the Hanmen Gate four years ago through Mo He Shunning, and I heard that he also stayed in the mansion of the Mo He Governor for a few days, and after returning to Beijing, he suddenly became more and more prosperous, "Now that I think about it, I am really suspicious," He was in charge of the communication between General Qiu and other provinces and the imperial court in the camp, It can be seen that he knows the dynamics of the army well, and he can even hide from the world, and last night's carrier pigeon did not hang up the flying feathers. Lu Yixuan squinted and frowned, turning from doubt to certainty.
"Feiyu is an urgent order for a hundred miles of government roads, who is Lord Zhang communicating with?" Zhou Ye paused.
He said that it was the news of the Hongyi cannon in Leyue Mansion, "Now that I think about it, it is clearly evidence of collusion with the thieves, Lu Yixuan's words rubbed out from between his teeth, every second counts in these two days, if it is a flying pigeon that communicates with a neighboring province, it will hang a flying feather, but there is no mark on the pigeon's feet, "And he took this opportunity to get the initiative to bombard the walled city, heh!" ”
Lu Yixuan sneered, what a treacherous villain played with everyone in the palm of his hand.
"I hope General Su Xiao can notice something, otherwise it will ......" She didn't continue, she couldn't escape.
Everyone's hearts were chuckling, and cold sweat broke out on their backs, but when they heard that the arrows that had been densely smashed on the iron gate were silent, and the chaotic footsteps reverberated outside the walled city, Lu Yixuan and the others climbed the tower to look at the outside, and their faces suddenly changed.
Sure enough, the so-called "rabble" thieves were like people waiting for rabbits, armed with bows and arrows, long knives tied around their waists, and with a wave of their hands, dozens of people were tied up with flowers and thrown in front of the walled city covered in blood.
It was another squad that was lying in ambush on the slope of the hill with the main camp of the bandits, and these men had apparently become prisoners.
The remnants of the army are defeated, and they can survive.
What is not scattered in the mountains and fields is the smell of blood, and gradually a little corpse stench emerges, which makes people evil.
"Tut-tut, good words, but that's it," the voice in the crowd sighed, the tone of laughter was slightly slanted, the thieves with long knives invariably got out of the way, it turned out to be a white-faced scholar, he looked decently dressed, no, or what he was wearing, it was simply the official uniform of the government officials, and the man shuttled among the villains in the mountains in a dignified manner, "Deputy General Lu, are you going to hide in the walled city as a turtle with a shrunken head?" It's just that the ridicule and perverseness in the tone make people uncomfortable, "We can negotiate a deal, so that you don't have to work hard, and your brothers can all survive and return to Shengjing City safely." ”
"Shit! Shameless villain, Hugh is arrogant! The little general who was trapped like a dumpling shouted angrily, and a group of thieves still wanted to negotiate with the imperial court, which was a fool's dream!
As soon as he tried to struggle to get up, he kicked the white-faced scholar to the ground.
"I don't know what to do."
The man sneered, and the burly thief beside him had already grabbed the young man with a bloody face and smashed it towards the gate of the walled city.
There was a loud thud at the door, and the flesh was blurred by the spikes on the top, and the young man swallowed his breath without even shouting a moan.
Only the blood stains ticked down the sharp arc.
Inside the walled city, the heart was pounding.
The scholar dusted off his robe and ignored it: "Vice General Lu, as long as you are willing to surrender and persuade General Su to calm down, you don't have to worry about the rumors in the court, you and I, no, we-we can all be happy." He clapped his hands and spun around, and the man smiled and groaned without any angry look.
Lu Yixuan sneered, what a wishful thinking, didn't he want them to retreat from the bandit army and then lie to conceal the court, as long as Lu Yixuan and Su Yixiang were willing to give up, as long as these bandits were "calm" for two years, the turmoil in the court would be eliminated, and they could continue to be their own kings of the mountains.
The benefits, everyone shares them together, as long as you are willing to do so, hide from the world.
Zhou Ye couldn't stand this kind of wretchedness, he looked at the blood slowly flowing in under the door of the Black Iron Village, and when he mentioned the sword on his side, he couldn't wait to rush forward now and cut off the heads of these shameless fanatics to sacrifice the flag.
"Who is this man?" Lu Yixin hurriedly grabbed him.
"It is the second position of the Mohe Mansion, many people in the Yamen have been bought by thieves, and the provincial concubine of the Yuan Dynasty specially begged the Son of Heaven to make a decree." Zhou Ye was not a military guard sent from Shengjing City, but a young general who had just entered the barracks of the two provinces for a year, and he knew a little about the situation in the two provinces.
"As expected." Lu Yixuan pursed his lips, these thieves don't want to kill them all at all, what's more, they hope that more than half of the bandit army is alive to fight against Zhao'an, since they are already in prison, then the thieves will come to give you a way to live, or a way to live where you are happy with glory and wealth.
It's really tempting and attractive.
