Chapter Seventy-Six: Action
Towards evening, a caravan of more than thirty people gradually approached the temporary camp of mercenary hunters.
A few mules and a few horses, in front of them are three or four men in fine clothes, followed by the leader of the slave catcher team riding a short-legged horse, in the middle seven or eight female slaves wrapped in a body with only two eyes exposed, behind are mules and horses carrying supplies, and finally there are some samurai on horseback, which is a typical image of a slave catcher.
As soon as the soldiers guarding the gate in the makeshift camp saw the fat sheep coming, they immediately came to their senses.
"What are you doing? Where did you come from?Fresh faces, what are you doing here?Why haven't I seen you before?" A soldier stared at the caravan with eyes like a wolf, his eyes shining with dazzling light, the light of greed!
The boss of the slave hunting team sitting on the horse shook his head and made a look, and a sturdy young man strode forward and said with a smile: "Brother is hard, there are some small money brothers here to buy some wine and drink, and the little brother is out to do some small business, brothers give it a convenience." ”
The little soldier guarding the door quietly stretched out his hand and quietly took it back, pinched and checked it behind his back, and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "It turned out to be Boss Wu, it's easy to say, it seems that this harvest is not small, let's go in, there are a lot of good goods just now, and it's lively." Grass and mud horses, you apprentice, you don't have long eyes, why don't you hurry up and make way for the adults?" scolded in his mouth, raised his foot and kicked aside a mercenary hunter who wanted to go out, and winked at others as a fellow practitioner.
Wu Qi and the others easily mixed into the temporary camp, unexpectedly and reasonably, their own people were infected in a large area, and most of the people who could resist the virus were high-class people, of course the gatekeeper work could not be done, and now the people here are just two indigenous ruffians in the temporary camp. Even the basic sentry is so sloppy, hmph, it's really arrogant. The overall size of the temporary camp has not changed much compared to the past, but the population density has become extraordinarily large, all because of the unexpected arrival of more than 1,000 people, and this group of guys does not talk about the rules at all, and immediately occupies almost all the spacious and large houses after they arrive.
Wu Qi quickly connected with the people inside.
Commander Wu is a veteran of the battle, personally brought a few cronies and brothers to see Wu Qi, the road was cautious, every once in a distance there was a brother stopped to stand guard to prevent being followed, and finally Commander Wu walked into a small courtyard alone.
Wu Qi said: "Time is urgent, let's talk about Uncle Wu, what is the situation here now?"
Commander Wu was solemn and said calmly: " It's the third day since the supplies arrived, and the guys didn't notice it at all, and on the way, the subordinates had added soft-footed eggs to all the water and food according to the young master's instructions, but now the phenomenon in the camp is very abnormal, first, most of the soldiers have headaches, vomiting and fever and weakness in the past few days, and it is much more serious than normal poisoning, although they are not dead, but now they are almost dead, second, although a small number of people have also eaten food containing soft-footed eggs, but they are only occasionally unwell, and some have not even shown any signs of poisoning from beginning to end, as if they have not been poisoned at allHowever, now that most of them have lost their combat effectiveness, and the only people who have not been poisoned are less than a hundred people, it is estimated that they will not be able to turn over the big waves, and their subordinates suggest that they act immediately, otherwise after a long time, these grandsons will recover, and the problem will be serious. ”
The old man said solemnly: " Although the soft-footed eggs are not highly poisonous, it is not so easy to carry them, there is only one possibility for the situation you said, that is, there are martial arts masters in the other party's camp, and there are quite a few, most people will have signs of poisoning and are more deeply poisoned than ordinary people, that is because these people are not local people at all, local people have grown up here since childhood, and they will have some adaptive resistance to these soft-footed eggs, only people who have never been attacked by soft-footed eggs will be poisoned so seriously, and the reason why a small number of people are not poisoned is because their martial arts have reached a certain levelThe common toxins in the outside world are no longer enough to affect them significantly. ”
Wu Qiqi nodded and said, "Yes, what Master Zu said is not bad at all, so we must act immediately." ”
Commander Wu said: "Lord Wang, there is also good news, the personnel arranged by the master in the early stage have been connected with his subordinates, and there are fifty of them, and they are all experienced in a hundred battles. ”
Wu Qi nodded fiercely and said, "God really helps me, in this way, tonight you take the brothers to deal with all the other people, and immediately meet me when you are done, and I will take someone to contain those masters first." We are divided into two ways, you have to make sure that the mission is completed quickly, and then do not stop for a moment, come and turn with us immediately. ”
Commander Wu said: "How many people does the young master need? The subordinates can complete the task with their own fifty brothers, and the other brothers should follow the young master." ”
Wu Qi said categorically in an unquestionable tone: "No, it's not the best policy to distribute it like this, so let's do it, all the two hundred and forty people are led by you, and the others follow me, you can rest assured, I am with Master Zu, there will be no problems in safety, and it is not difficult to escape and save my life at all, but you must complete the task within half an hour, and the difficulty is not small." ”
Commander Wu replied: "Yes, his subordinates will definitely live up to their trust!"
Wu Qi is not very old, but the assignment of tasks is in an orderly manner, and the old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation and approval.
Gu Yuenu stood aside, a pair of beautiful eyes shining, and suddenly found that the guy who had been beaten by himself all this time could one day be so wise and handsome! The crazy girl was unconsciously careful and her liver trembled badly, and she suddenly found that her face was burning badly, why didn't she find out before?
That night, an unprecedented massacre broke out in the temporary camp of mercenary hunters, the strange thing is that there was no shouting from beginning to end, but there were a few screams, this was the craziest massacre in more than 50 years since the formation of the temporary camp, a one-sided massacre, and when people went out the next day, they were shocked to find that a vacant lot in the camp was densely packed with corpses, roughly more than a thousand corpses!
Commander Wu led 237 Wu Guards to move quickly, and he knew the details of the enemy very well, plus there were dozens of people who had already become internal responses in advance, and the action was extremely fast and smooth. The team was divided into ten groups, and then the soldiers who stayed in the camp for the wounded soldiers were named one by one, these guys were all plagued by the poison of soft foot insect eggs these days, and now they couldn't even stand up, most of them could only watch the butcher's knife be added, and even if a few could make a little symbolic resistance, it was just a matter of one more slash. In less than ten minutes, more than a thousand cattle men who were arrogant a few days ago have all turned into corpses that have begun to gradually cool!
Although the scene here is grand, there is no doubt that the one-sided slaughter is not the main battlefield, the main battlefield is in another place.
This is a luxuriously decorated yard, which is full of green trees, flowers and plants are arranged in turn, and several artificial bird's nests are arranged on the branches of several small trees. There is a basis for saying that it is refined, and there is no artificial nest here before, and the difference in size is almost indistinguishable, and it is obvious that the colorful pebbles are carefully selected, and it is rare to see more than a dozen rare flowers and plants of great value, and so on, all of which are silently proving this.
Wu had risen up in the makeshift camp, and more than once, and in his memory it should have been three bustling bazaars. The business was in the timber business, so the area was not small, and now the three businesses have been reorganized, and the area has been tripled, and if it were used as a barracks, there would be no problem in putting hundreds or thousands of people in it.
When Wu Qi arrived at the place, there were two sturdy guys on duty at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing Wu Qi and a group of dozens of people coming over murderously, the guy on duty at the door obviously felt that something was wrong, and quietly pressed his hands to his waist knife, and one guy shouted vigilantly: "What are you doing? This is a place for adults to rest, and idle people can't wait to get close!"
Wu Qi didn't say a word, it was too late to say that it was too fast, a step forward, began to accelerate, the distance of ten meters was quickly narrowed, and while rushing forward, he pulled out the saber on his waist, and stabbed at one of them with all his strength.
That person is obviously not a wine bag and rice bag, in the face of the impending life crisis, he instinctively raised his knife to parry, at the moment of life and death, his speed and strength were extraordinary, "ding", and he actually blocked Wu Qi's inevitable killing blow, the person who was stabbed was proud, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, but before his smile fully bloomed, he was surprised to find that Wu Qi's sword pierced his saber at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then pierced deeply into his chest. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, maybe he wanted to ask why, maybe he wanted to say that it was impossible, but as soon as his mouth opened, blood gushed out and he couldn't stop it!
Wu Qi was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Liwei, who was taken for granted for the first time, almost became a foreigner, if it weren't for the fact that his eldest brother spent a lot of money to get this sword, he might have really been planted in the hands of a janitor just now! A janitor is so powerful, if all the guys in this courtyard are as tricky as him, the problem is really a little troublesome! Wu Qi was surprised at the same time, but his hand did not stop at all, he pulled out the sword with his backhand, and slashed to the next target! It's a pity that people have already taken precautions and began to turn around and run away, but fortunately, the people who turned around and fled completely forgot to defend, Wu Qi's backhand knife has left a long and deep wound on this guy's body, this unlucky guy is bloody from his buttocks, and it is very dazzling!
Wu Qi and his gang were not easy to provoke at first glance, but they didn't expect their companions to hang up without even holding on for a round, and this is okay, their kung fu is still a step lower than that of their companions, and when will they stay if they don't run at this time? The other guy immediately began to tear his throat and shout "attack" while desperately starting to turn around and escape! It's a pity that he only cared about running for his life, and he was stabbed hard in the back, so he could only crawl forward on the ground screaming, and his heavy feet behind him had been stepping on the wound, and he had no strength to crawl forward after screaming.
It is surrounded by a wall of more than three meters, according to the intelligence of Commander Wu, there are probably more than 100 people in this courtyard, and Wu Qi also knows that it is very difficult to annihilate this group of damn guys with only this little person around him, so just hold the gate and delay the time until the team of people and horses arrive.
It's a different scene in the house, they don't know the details of Wu Qi and others, during this time, the big guy had an inexplicable headache and vomiting, and when it was serious, he was about to die, and everyone was already rumored in their hearts, and then they were attacked, they were not monolithic, and the big people were not present to form a unified voice, some people advocated rushing out to fight, these people all have a certain identity and connections, some people advocated waiting for the adults to come back before making a decision, these people are basically grassroots, they insist on it There are also deep reasons, according to the law, the guards run away without regard for the safety of the big people, that is to be punished, and it's a joint sitting system, which means that even family members will be punished together with those who run away, so these people insist on waiting for the big man who is not present to come back before deciding on the next plan of action, and some people choose a compromise plan, saying that they want to break through first and then find a way to contact the adults to try something else. None of the people could convince anyone, and a few unlucky people with a fluke mentality ignored the opposition of the majority of people and forcibly climbed the wall in a vain attempt to escape, but it was a pity that the veteran commander Wu had already sent people to quietly set traps around, and several unlucky people were either captured alive and dragged over and beaten half to death or directly broke their legs and arms and became crippled, and they were still beaten to half death by a smashing stick. Then, the waiting faction clearly prevailed, and no one insisted on breaking out anymore.
A state of confrontation was formed at the scene for a while, but this confrontation did not last long, and an hour later, Commander Wu finished dealing with other things, and rushed to the scene with dozens of soldiers who were scolding all the way!
So far, it's fair to say that the plan is half the battle!
