Chapter 261: Confrontation

An Ge and Tang Xin quickly climbed to the top of the wall, only to see that the new group was very different from the previous people, they had no intention of hiding their whereabouts at all, so they rushed into the village with torches and blatantly.

"About thirty people, all with weapons."

Tang Xin said solemnly.

Without waiting for orders, the soldiers below had already re-assembled their weapons, found a defensive position against the wall, and prepared for battle.

"Can you tell who they are?"

An Ge asked.

Tang Xin squinted his eyes for a while, shook his head and said, "It looks like an official army, but I don't dare to confirm it." ”

At present, Xichuan has changed its flag and banner, some officers and soldiers have changed the armor of the Southern Dynasties, some officers and soldiers still use the original equipment, and those who have become rogue soldiers are also wearing the same clothes, plus after several major battles, there are many soldiers killed in battle, and some bandits have also picked up a lot of official and military armor from the battlefield, and they can no longer distinguish their identities from the dress alone.

"They're coming!"

Tang Xin frowned and said, and asked An Ge, "Do we want to put out the fire?" ”

An Ge groaned for a moment and shook his head: "Not this time, since the other party has not concealed his whereabouts, it means that they must have something to rely on, and lighting a fire will not make them feel that we are weak-hearted." ”

As he spoke, An Ge climbed down from the wall, and the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and after a while, he had rushed to the surrounding courtyard, followed by neat footsteps, like a line of soldiers.

Ye Shi's long-term workers had already hid in the house, and the remaining Apocalypse Guard warriors tensed their nerves and watched each other's movements with bated breath again.

"Who's inside?"

The people outside had apparently noticed the fire, and the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the courtyard, and the officers at the head rode on their horses and shouted into the courtyard.

The soldiers of the Apocalypse Guard all looked back at An Ge, who gritted his teeth and suddenly got up, slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard, and pulled the door open.

Tang Xin was startled, and hurriedly handed over the repeating crossbow in his hand to a soldier who remained, and followed with a waist knife.

The officer on the horse was about thirty years old, and when he saw the courtyard door suddenly open, he was startled at first, and then saw An Ge who came out of it dressed as a steward, and was not yet twenty years old, so he immediately let go of his distraction.

"Who are you, and why are you staying here?"

The officer on the horse asked sharply.

An Ge hurriedly saluted the officer and said, "Master Qiqi, the younger one is a member of the Lu family, and in the name of the head of the family, the grain is transported to the old village outside the Gonghe Mansion. ”

"The Lu family?"

What An Ge didn't expect was that as soon as he spoke, the officer's face suddenly changed, and the rest of the soldiers were also shocked, and they all pulled out the long knives in their hands and aimed them at An Ge.

An Ge was shocked, but he forced a smile on his face: "What is this doing, Master Jun?" The little one thinks that he has not violated the king's law, and he also asks the adult to know it. ”

At this moment, a soldier hurried back from a distance and shouted, "My lord, there are blood stains here, they must have run that way." ”

An Ge was stunned for a moment, only to see that the direction pointed by the soldiers was the direction in which the previous group of people left, and he said in his heart that this group of officers and soldiers was chasing them nine times out of ten, and he became a pond fish that was affected.

"You said that you are the Lu family, what proof do you have?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the officer on the horse waved his hand at the soldier, and said in a deep voice to An Ge.

An Ge hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "This is the villain's identity token, and please take a look at it." ”

A sergeant walked over, took the jade pendant from An Singer and handed it to the officer.

That was before Lu Tianhao handed over the identity card of a cronie to him in order to have a fight with Xu Rui, originally to facilitate him to enter and exit the Lu family, but he didn't expect it to become a life-saving talisman along the way, and he was deceived several times.

"Lu Si ......, it is indeed the jade pendant of the Lu family's steward......"

The officer looked at the words on the jade pendant and muttered, his face darkened by the flickering firelight, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that he would not let them go easily.

Tang Xin stood behind An Ge, not knowing if he could get away with it this time, and his right hand was already tightly gripping the scimitar.

He was ready, once things changed, he would pull An Ge into the courtyard as fast as he could, and then throw out a grenade to break it, as for whether he could survive in the end, it was only up to fate.

Time passed minute by minute, but the officer was still holding the jade card, as if he was muttering something, the ominous premonition in An Ge and Tang Xin's hearts became heavier and heavier, and cold sweat gradually broke out from his forehead.

"My lord, they look like they're going to run!"

At this moment, another sergeant beside the officer suddenly pointed to the courtyard where the previous group had settled and shouted.

The officer seemed to have finally woken up, put the jade plaque in his arms, pointed at An Ge and said to the left and right: "You are optimistic about this group, and the others will follow me!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his long knife, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rushed out, except for a dozen people who were left in front of the courtyard gate, the rest of the soldiers immediately followed, and ran towards the courtyard where the group of people had settled.

The shouting of killing suddenly pierced the quiet night sky, but I didn't expect that although the previous group of people was not much, there were many masters among them, and they were inextricably involved in a battle with a team of officers and soldiers, and the sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, and even the figures flying up and down could be seen through the firelight.

The team of soldiers left behind didn't seem to care about the battle situation on the other side at all, still holding a bright long knife, staring vigilantly at An Ge and Tang Xin, and even the position in the courtyard that might rush out at any time had a few pairs of eyes on guard without blinking.

"The shopkeeper's situation is not good, it seems that they don't plan to let us go at all, what should we do?"

Tang Xin asked in a whisper behind An Ge.

An Ge shook his head: "I don't know, let's take a look first." ”

I don't know why, the name of the Lu family, which has always been very useful, didn't work this time, could it be that something happened to the Lu family?

An Ge silently pondered the officer's every move, and secretly complained in his heart.

Several screams had already been heard in the distance, casualties on both sides, and the sound of fierce fighting was getting denser and denser, and it seemed that the battle had reached a critical moment.

"It's a life-and-death battle, these people don't seem to plan to stay alive, and it will be our turn when the battle over there is over."

Tang Xin looked at the soldiers who were confronting them and said worriedly.

An Ge nodded imperceptibly and asked, "With our strength, can we get out?" ”

Tang Xin said: "If you launch a surprise attack, there should be no problem in dealing with the dozen or so people in front of you, if it alarms the battle situation over there, or if you leave a living mouth to attract other pursuers, then it is difficult to say."

However, there are too few of us who can fight, and if we want to escape, we can only take advantage of the fierce battle over there, quickly deal with the enemy in front of us, and then abandon our baggage and quickly evacuate this opportunity, otherwise once we are besieged by them, we will definitely die. ”

"But in this way, it's very risky......"

An Ge silently calculated the number and combat strength of both sides, hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, wait later." ”

After about a stick of incense, the sound of fierce battle became more and more urgent, accompanied by a scream, as if the symphony had reached its climax.

Gradually, under the siege of dozens of officers and soldiers, the former group of people seemed to have reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and from this side, it is not difficult to find that they have been forced to a corner of the courtyard by the officers and soldiers to continue to resist stubbornly, but the defeat is already obvious.

"Shopkeeper, if we don't move, they will be defeated, and when these soldiers free their hands, I'm afraid that the next one to deal with will be us."

Faced with such a situation, Tang Xin also lost his former composure, and said to An Ge eagerly.

"Wait!"

An Ge was covered in cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and whispered.

Seeing that the official army had basically taken control of the situation after paying a huge price, and the battle could end at any time, Tang Xin was in a hurry, and his hand holding the knife became tighter and tighter.

"Shopkeeper!"

Tang Xin let out another low shout, but An Ge was still motionless.

Finally, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the courtyard on the other side, and the officers and soldiers seemed to have won the victory, and the faces of the officers and soldiers who confronted them also showed a somewhat relieved look.

"Now, do it!"

At this moment, An Ge suddenly let out a low cry, took out a grenade from his arms, and without hesitation, opened the safety and threw it towards the dozen or so soldiers, and at the same time suddenly turned around and grabbed Tang Xin's wrist and threw himself towards the courtyard.
