Chapter 228: Burning Taiping Village
The twilight fell into the mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests were also dyed with ink. The homing birds, which were still chirping just now, were all silenced as if someone had ordered them. Only the chirping worms in the grass were screaming happily.
Dark Qing, who came back in a hurry in night clothes, took a sip of tea, took out the cottage map drawn by Mu Chun, and pointed out the distribution of people in the cottage to everyone on the map one by one.
"There are about five or six hundred people in the cottage, but Fang Junbao only has a dozen or so soldiers around him. There were also two leaders, each with only four retinues, but according to custom, the pro-soldiers were on duty in two or three shifts, and there should be thirty or forty more troops nearby that could be mobilized. Their main forces were all in and around the gates of the stockade. "Dark blue.
His light skills, I'm afraid that only Yan Yunti can compete here, and almost no one will find out when he flies in. He added: "There is also bad news, they may be for a wider line of sight, or for practice, and there is an open space around the stockade, which is not conducive to us to sneak into. ”
"This is also good news, when the village is burned, it will not be easy to damage the mountains and forests." Ling Yun said with a smile: "Just now, the prince was back, I was afraid that we would burn down the entire Savage Ridge." ”
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go. The bow and arrow open the way, the grenade follows, and you are not afraid of making a big fuss, but you are afraid that the defenders of the mountain pass will not know! I'm in charge of Fang Junbao. Yan Shiyi dropped a sentence, stood up, picked up his horn bow and walked out. Ever since he brought the horn bow back from the grassland, Yan Shiyi has liked to use this light and fast bow.
Xie Ruijiao carried two bags of arrows on his back and picked up the shock bow. He was now in charge of shooting the guards on both sides of the gate at a distance, because there was a trap in the middle of the gate, and their soldiers had to enter from both sides. Two bags of sixty arrows, in order to kill one move, Begonia fed all the arrows with poison.
Haitang also stuffed her rainstorm pear flower needle into Xie Ruijiao's arms. Xie Ruijiao thought it was funny: "It's too wasteful for this secret weapon to be used against these thieves!" But I accepted it obediently.
A total of 100 of them went up the mountain, but the rebel army had 600 to deal with, and they had to fight quickly to prevent the defenders of the mountain pass from returning for reinforcements.
Cheng Hanbai is best at horse warfare. But his close-quarters weapon, the double-headed Qiankun Sword, is what the opponent fears the most. It was with this sword that he gave his wandering bow to Yu Shizi. This time, it was the snow chasing wind sent by Yu Shizi that saved his life.
Yu Lang and Cheng Hanbai both belong to the military camp kung fu. They are different from Eleven, Ling Xue, and Dark Blue, their moves are simple but deadly, and they win with bravery. They were responsible for the frontal assault with their own soldiers, and cooperated with the archers such as Xie Ruijiao and Ling Feng.
Yan Shiyi, Ling Xue and Dark Qing, they were respectively responsible for sneaking up on Fang Junbao and the other three leaders. Light power and hidden weapons, but also occupy a clever word, the most suitable for surprising victory.
Cheng Hanbai asked his soldiers to return to the carriage of the Grasshopper Ridge, and carried some wound medicine to Zhuangzi, which was ready for emergencies. Haitang and Shen Congxi were waiting for them on Zhuangzi.
Shang Hong said with a smile: "I have been a civil servant for decades, and I only know that military generals lead troops to fight, but I have never seen them dispatch troops with my own eyes. The DPRK is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is true that more attention should be paid to military generals. With such a prince who is both civil and military, the prosperity of the dynasty is just around the corner. ”
Taking advantage of the night, Xie Ruijiao and the others followed Mu Chun and quietly sneaked up to Savage Ridge. When I arrived at the side of Taiping Village, sure enough, from the woods to the stockade, across the open space of fifty steps, looking at the footprints on the ground, it should be a runway for soldiers to practice.
Ling Xue and the three of them went around to the back of the cottage and entered the village, which was the road that Dark Qing had explored before. Jumping onto the roof, the three of them went their separate ways. After only a few "booms" were heard, the screams in the room caused a commotion.
Before the guards at the door could react, Xie Ruijiao's arrow had already flown over. The arrow shoots a hundred steps, and it can still pierce Yang, not to mention the shock bow in Xie Ruijiao's hand. I saw him pull his bow and arrows, and shoot down the four archers on the arrow tower.
Cheng Hanbai and Yu Lang took the opportunity to rush in. They split into two sides, bypassing the trap in the middle, and specifically drilling into the crowd. Cheng Hanbai looked at the bottom of the mountain, his hands itched several times, and he was able to kill, and the cold light of the double-headed Qiankun sword turned into shadows, and he actually fell from both ends of his hands. The guards of the rebellious party were dumbfounded, as if they had seen the Rakshasa of the Prison.
Xie Ruijiao and the archers had already followed, and another rain of arrows eliminated the guards who rushed up from behind. The quiver shot into the air, Xie Ruijiao put the bow on his back, drew his sword, and killed it with a roar.
Ling Feng waved his hand, and the archers in the last row changed their rockets and shot at the stockade. Lingyun shot a rocket onto the plaque of "Taiping Village", and the gatehouse was blazing. In the dazzling firelight, the sound of swords gradually subsided. I heard only a raging flame in the wind, making a fierce sound.
The soldiers who stayed at the foot of the mountain to meet found that the torches coming from the opposite mountain pass were still in a line at first, but when the cottage fire started, those torches ran back and gradually lost their formation.
When the Taipingzhai was almost burned, everyone went down the mountain. Xie Ruijiao saw that Yan Shiyi was still carrying a bloody human head in his hand, and he was busy disgusted: "Find a cloth bundle, tie it, don't scare my son when you go back!" Cheng Hanbai knew that he was about to become an uncle, and he couldn't help but smile and walk briskly.
Suddenly, Ling Xue pointed to the torches moving all the way towards the farm and shouted, "Look! What is that? When Xie Ruijiao saw it, his heart was half cold, and he strode down the mountain. There is still a short distance from the farm, and the speed of going down the mountain at night can't be too fast, Xie Ruijiao was so anxious that he kept shouting in his heart: Shen Congxi! You can't fall!
Several people took steps regardless of the danger, and quickly threw the soldiers behind them far away. But after all, there are not as fast as the dozen or so rebels who ran to Zhuangzi and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. When they saw that the cottage was burned, they simply went to the farm they had coveted for a long time to grab a handful.
In the past, the leader had an order, and the owner of the village was a famous minister, who spoke for the people, and he was not allowed to touch him. Now the leader is dead and the cottage is gone, but they still need money to live! Minister? The minister has money, and he is the one who robs it! More than a dozen people discussed, and those who were supposed to support the cottage all turned around and went to the villa.
They kicked the door of the cottage open, and saw the white-haired merchant standing in front of the house, and in front of him stood several farmers with shovels and hoes. As soon as I looked at the posture, I knew that these soldiers were also swords back then, but unfortunately, they also grew older together with the merchant in this paradise.
Shen Congxi stood next to Shang Weng with his sword, and he shouted:
"Who? How dare you trespass on a private house! ”
