Chapter 15: The Second Blood
The two guns stabbed in went straight to Wei Chao and Meng Blind, both of them were veterans of a hundred battles, they tilted their bodies and dodged over, and at the same time four hands dragged the two spears hard, and the two foot soldiers of Chu were dragged in, and before they could stand firmly, the old Liu and the fat man next to them rushed up, two of them made a waist knife, a kitchen knife, hugged the two Chu soldiers and cut with thorns, and suddenly blood splashed, and the two heads were thrown into the basket after a few clicks, those were the two black things that Lao Wang spit out of his mouth, and they shot at Chu Bing's face like a hidden weapon, directly killing the two of them.
Seeing that the usually honest Qi Fu killed people so neatly, and the taciturn old Wang still had such a stunt, Ma Xiao re-acquainted himself with this group of guys who got along day and night, and seemed to know that there was a hidden killing machine in this small thatched hut, and the Chu soldiers outside did not risk rushing in, but shot several rockets in from the broken windows, and the small thatched hut suddenly burst into flames, and the smoke soon filled everyone's ears and noses, Wei Chao shouted "Rush out together", and everyone yelled and leaned over and rushed out. As soon as they rushed to the door, more than a dozen spears stabbed at them, and the big head who rushed to the front suddenly fell to the ground with a few more holes, and everyone hurriedly retreated to the hut.
At this time, Ma Xiao found that there was another small window in the house leading to the backyard, just a little high, and quickly whispered to everyone to see, the usually taciturn old Wang immediately jumped up, his limbs stuck to the wall like geckos, opened the window, glanced out and turned around, "The soldiers in the backyard are far away, you can get out from here." After coming down, he didn't say much, picked up the boss and plugged it out of the window, and then got up and climbed out of the window himself, his hands and feet were very flexible, and he didn't delay at all, and then Lao Liu and Meng Blind also got out with the help of Wei Chao, and after sending the two out, the thatch was completely covered by the fire, the thatch on the roof was burning, and the temperature in the house made people's eyebrows and hair begin to burn.
Wei Chao turned around and looked at Ma Xing and said, "It's your turn!", and then Ma Xiao realized a serious problem, that is, Qi Fu couldn't get out of the life path he found, the window was too small, and Qi Fu's body was too fat. As if seeing Ma Xiao's hesitation, Wei Chaoda shouted, "What are you still grinding, do you want to die here together?" It turned out that everyone present just now saw this problem, but everyone didn't say anything, Wei Chao didn't plan to take Qi Fu out, looking at the people who turned out one by one, Qi Fu didn't say anything next to him, his honest face was full of sweat, and he had already seen this problem, but he didn't say it.
I don't know where the courage came from, and I don't know where the righteousness came from, Ma Xiao just couldn't give up others to escape by himself, he didn't explain, and went back directly, "Brother Wei, you go out quickly, the two of us have other ways." Qi Fu looked at the skinny starving ghost, not knowing what to say. Wei Chao snorted coldly and turned over and walked out of the back window.
At this critical moment, the soldiers outside shouted, "They ran from behind!" Ma Xiao and Qi Fu looked at each other and saw hope on each other's faces, the two hurriedly poured all the little water left in the water tank on their bodies, and saw through the front window that the Chu soldiers who were originally guarding outside the thatched hut were all chasing after the backyard, and the two hurriedly rushed out of the thatched hut with cats on their waists, at this time there were flames burning everywhere on their bodies, their hair and eyebrows were all burnt, and their faces and hands were blackened, but the feeling of escaping still made the two forget the pain in their bodies.
After rushing out of the hut, the two of them hurriedly went to the nearby fence yard, and by the night, the two of them were lying under the low fence wall, surrounded by a large group of soldiers fighting back and forth, the two of them were lying on their backs facing the sky, holding sharp knives and kitchen knives in their hands, watching the footsteps and fierce fighting back and forth outside the fence wall, so nervous that someone would notice them.
Not long after lying down, a wounded Chu soldier fell in from outside the fence wall, covering the wound on his thigh and just about to get up, Ma Xiao rushed over, and lay on the back of the Chu soldier from behind, the sharp knife in his right hand pierced the neck of the Chu soldier, but it was not in the right position, it was pierced into the shoulder armor of the soldier, and the force was too strong, the sharp knife used to remove the meat hit the hard shoulder armor and broke it directly into two, Ma Xiao held the sharp knife tightly because of the excessive force, the palm of the hand slipped from the handle to the remaining blade, and was cut out of a long hole by his own knife, and Ma Xiao quickly let go of the broken knife in his hand under the pain。
Chu Guobing was just about to get up when someone leaned on his back, feeling that the weight on his back should be a doll, he reached out and grabbed the man's arm, and pulled it forward hard to throw Ma Xiao from the back forward, "Hutong", Ma Xiaojie fell firmly on a stone slab in the yard, and his head was suddenly buzzed, and a feeling of tinnitus and dizziness hit. Chu Guobing pulled out the waist knife from his waist, the tip of the knife went down, and he raised his hands to stab Ma Xiao down, Ma Xiao was in a state of vertigo, seeing the long knife stabbing him, he subconsciously twitched his body, and he could avoid this knife, and he missed the stab, Chu Bing was also surprised, this doll reacted quickly, and pulled out the waist knife that pierced into the soil and stabbed it down again.
At this moment, Chu Bing only felt a black shadow attacking from behind, and his strong body twisted sensitively in place, and his waist knife swept back, "Ah!" A scream, but it turned out to be Qi Fu holding a kitchen knife in both hands to cut the Chu soldiers, but this Chu soldiers are experienced in killing the enemy, a back sweep will Qi Fu holding the kitchen knife The two arms from the forearms are cut off, Qi Fu screamed and sat back, a rain of blood sprayed out from the wound on the arm, and he wanted to cover the wound with his hands, but both hands were not felt, he could only lie on the ground and howl in pain, Chu Guobing stood up, his face was sprayed with blood, and he didn't wipe it, he raised his waist knife and slashed Qi Fu twice, muttering in his mouth" barked like a fat pig, noisy to death."
The howl stopped, Qi Fu's fat head rolled down the slope in the yard in front of Ma Xiao, and his originally honest face was now unwillingly wide-eyed, looking hideous and terrifying. As soon as he saw Qi Fu's severed head, something seemed to explode in Ma Xiao's head, only to feel that a clear spring rushed from the back of his spine to the back of his head, everything became clear and abnormal in the night, even the details hidden in the dark corners could be seen, everything around him became slow, as if the air and fire had become thick, Ma Xiao entered this state of detachment again in anger, he only felt that his mind was clearer than ever now, and his body was more powerful than ever, grabbing the broken knife that fell to the ground, Ma Xiao rushed towards Chu Bing。
Chu Bing turned around and found that the baby soldier lying on the ground actually rushed towards him, raised his waist knife and went to cut, but his movements were simply too slow in Ma Xiao's eyes, and he easily flashed the waist knife, Ma Xiao jumped up in a big stride, and with a stretch of his right hand diagonally upward, he sent the half-cut knife into Chu Bing's throat. The moment he landed, Ma Xiao also retreated from the state just now, and suddenly sat on the ground as if he had lost his strength. Chu Guobing desperately covered his neck that was spurting blood, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his throat was "heh...... I didn't know what I was talking about, and I quickly fell to the ground, convulsed and struggled for a while, and lost my breath, and a veteran who had been on the battlefield for more than ten years was killed by a ten-year-old doll.
Ma Xiao sat on the ground, the feeling of detachment quickly disappeared, turned his head and glanced at Qi Fu in a different place, there was no expression on his face, he was angry about his death just now, and now he didn't feel it at all, because Ma Xiao had seen too many dead people, and his relatives left him one by one, and the uncles, aunts and aunts he had known since he was a child, and the neighbors' brothers and sisters all lost their lives on the way to escape the famine, and the emotional burden of life and death was long gone.
Wiping his nose with his sleeve, Ma Xiao carefully crawled to Qi Fu's side in the night, wrapped his arms and head with the forehead scarf on his head and placed them next to the corpse, pulled a falling torch from the gap in the fence wall, and set Qi Fu's body on fire. At this time, the war is still going on, but the focus of the battlefield has shifted from here to the interior of the village, fires are burning everywhere, killing shouts come and go, Ma Xiao ripped off the belt of the Chuguo infantry and wrapped it around himself, picked up the waist knife on the ground and held it in his hand, and looked at it by the fire of Qi Fu's corpse, this waist knife is a melee weapon, Peiguo's waist knife is obviously different from Chuguo, Peiguo has fewer cavalry, more foot soldiers, and the waist knife is long and thick and heavy, suitable for chopping on land; There are few foot soldiers, and the waist knife is curved and slender, much like the long feathers on the peacock's tail, which is suitable for slashing on horses. The waist knife in his hand is more than three feet long, the calcined lines on it are like fish scales, reflecting the fire in the night, and the blood stains on the blade can slide off by himself, compared to the iron piece he uses to remove the meat, the more Ma Xiao likes it, the last time he handed over the horse lance and waist knife in his hand without covering the heat and was snatched away, this time he made up his mind, whoever dared to rob will cut whom.
Sending the long knife into the scabbard, Ma Xiao remembered the matter of the last Zheng bronze medal, it seems that these soldiers who went out to fight are not all as alone as themselves. Poor and destitute, maybe there is something good on the body, so squatting down and rummaging over the dead Chu soldiers, and finally touched a palm-sized bag in his arms, holding it in his hand and a little weight, up and down and making a loud noise, Ma Xiao quickly opened the bag, poured down, and fell out of a small pile of broken silver and copper plates, and a green bead, glowing with fluorescence in the night, it is very good-looking, this green ball broad bean is the size of a broad bean, it is cool in the hand, it may be a jade bead, Ma Xiao thought like this, he has never seen any jade jade, he has heard the old man in the family say。
Afraid that it was not clean, Ma Xiao shook the bag again, and finally fell out of the bag A folded silk cloth, Ma Xiao picked up the silk cloth and unfolded it to see, it was a portrait of a person, only the upper body, like a notice posted by the former officials, the person on the portrait looked a little familiar at first glance, as if he had seen it somewhere, so Ma Xiao went to the firelight to look carefully, the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, and the familiar feeling just now was gone, hey, what does it have to do with himself, Ma Xiao rubbed it and threw it into the fire that burned the corpse, turned around and put the " on the ground Little baby" all picked up, wiped clean one by one and put it in the bag, picked up a large piece of broken silver and put it in his mouth to bite it, why he bit him I don't know, anyway, I used to see my father and mother do this, looking at the tooth marks he left on the silver, Ma Xiao's heart blossomed, I haven't seen so much money for a long time.
