Ye Zi sat at the door of a small bungalow, wiping her big gun with a cloth, although her leg injury was relatively light and did not affect her movement, but Wang Jiyuan still let her get off the sentry post, after all, being shot by a gun is a very terrifying experience.

When she rubbed the tip of the spear, she suddenly had a premonition that the moment when the sharp tip of the spear had to drink blood was approaching, but she didn't know who the blood would be. Thinking back to the afternoon, if I had been impulsive again, maybe those two would have died under my own gun first?

She sat there and asked herself the question over and over again, each time coming up with a very different answer.

"What do you want to do by keeping us here? Jiang Jie's sharp voice came from the house behind Ye Zi.

Ye Zi looked through the iron fence of the window of the storage room and saw a pale and distorted face. She sighed with some interest: "Don't argue, the committee leader Zhou will come to ask in a while." Ask him then. ”

"Hmph, what committee, it's all liars! Cowards! Murderers! Empty talk about letting us students stand in front, and they themselves go and hide in the building with Erlang's legs crossed. Why? Just because they were teachers? They were officials, and no one here was nobler than anyone else?Why should I listen to their judgment?"

Ye Zi ignored her, but Jiang Jie was unwilling to stop: "What's more, Niu Guangcheng and them didn't even have a trial, so they were killed by you executioners." A month ago, we, we were all teachers and classmates, but now we are butchers and corpses, all the same people from the same place. You guys...... How did you do it? You, are you not empty?"

"They were traitors, and they should have thought of that when they shot us. Ye Zi pressed his hand to his chest, and his heart couldn't stop hurting.

"But they didn't hurt you, they just wanted to escape. We're not soldiers, we're scared, we're going to run away, what's the matter? What kind of horse thieves are coming, maybe everyone will disperse, and they will all be saved if they hide in the big city!"

"How can we not be united in such a strange and dangerous place?"

"Oh, killing people in the name of unity is really beautiful. Why are there always some people who can say the best things and do the most disgusting things?" Jiang Jie pressed her face against the iron railing, and the pale starlight made her look like a ghost.

Ye Zi was silent for a while and said, "Qin Mu, who fired the gun, will go to be investigated as soon as he comes back." If you have anything to say, let's tell Team Leader Zhou later. ”

"Qin Mu, Qin Mu! He's just a brute! What power does he have to decide the life and death of others? What kind of thing is he? Sooner or later, he will have retribution, and there is no place to die when he dies!" Jiang Jie slammed the door, and the sound of clattering was particularly loud in the night, which alarmed a group of passing patrols.

Ye Zi saw a few people there poking their heads out and shining a flashlight in this direction, and waved his hand annoyedly, telling them to hurry away.

Jiang Jie was still crying, and she kept knocking, making Ye Zi so depressed that her heart seemed to be burned by fire. Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to scold Jiang Jie. Wu Qi's voice sounded in the room.

"We're guilty after all, stop making trouble. Her voice was much calmer than Jiang Jie's, but there was still sadness inside, "Ye Zi is just a marionette." ”

"Wu Qi, even if Li Qiuxin pushed you, you just stood on their side like this? Have you forgotten how much effort Li Qiuxin spent in order to bring you with you?"

"In the final analysis, he is for himself, and so are me, and no one owes anyone anything. You stole the gold, I stole the clothes and tents, and these sins are our own. ”

Jiang Jie couldn't reply for a while, and finally said, "But, but." I stumbled for a long time, but I didn't say a whole word.

"We are now traitors that everyone shouts about. Since this is already the case, I am still a little conscious. Wu Qi said quietly.

"Few people know about your affairs, and the school should keep it secret for everyone in order to protect you. Ye Zi finally felt that these two women were pitiful.

"You don't need to be merciful. Jiang Jie said angrily.

"This ...... Useless. There are just so many people in school, and bad things will spread for thousands of miles, and sooner or later they will spread. Others may think the same way, but we are the only ones who do. From the time we escaped from the wall, we were aliens, and no one would sympathize with us. Even if it were you, if you hadn't felt guilty when you saw the two of them being killed on the spot, would you sympathize with us?" Wu Qi asked rhetorically.

"I ......" Ye Zi found that the other party had told a fact.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and there was a distant noise in it. Ye Zi condensed his thoughts and found that there seemed to be such an undisturbing noise in all directions, and it was getting louder and louder.

At this time, she no longer had time to take care of the feelings of the two prisoners, and she left a sentence, "There is a situation." He climbed up to the roof of the bungalow along the pile of debris in the corner.

She looked around, and her heart jerked.

The school wall in this bungalow is not far away, and the view ahead is very open. From here, you can clearly see the plains and roads under the stars. Then, unlike any other day, countless fires shone from the horizon, at first like stars in the sky, but soon they were the size of beans, and then they could be seen to split into several paths, like long red worms, swarming towards the school.

Ye Zi knew that she had been waiting for this day, and as a soldier of the escort team, she also thought that she was mentally prepared, but when she saw thousands of fires rushing to her face with her own eyes, she still felt as if she had fallen into a deep pool, her body was stiff, and her hands and feet were cold. She wanted to shout a warning, but as if she was stuck in her throat, she couldn't make any sound for a while.

However, fortunately, the sentry on duty also discovered these in time, and soon, the school was full of impatient bells. Ye Zi was condescending and saw many people rushing out of the house in a hurry, carrying weapons and rushing to the fortifications near the school wall.

Screams, shouts, cries, the whole campus was suddenly awakened in the night, and everyone realized that the horse thief had finally arrived.

————————————————————————

The sporadic gunshots had already sounded, Wang Jiyuan threw the telescope in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Bastard! Who let them shoot so early, it was just a ranger exploring the way." Signal the position of the three platoons of a company to be stabilized! Before the enemy enters the marking, no shots are allowed to expose the position. ”

So a communicator next to him picked up a flashlight, stood at the window, turned on the switch and turned on the signal light to defend the position in the southeast direction. The signal was called several times, but the position was pitch black, and there was no response at all.

The gunfire continued, and some in the other positions couldn't help but fire at the horse thieves who were coming to the formation. Wang Jiyuan's brows twitched tighter and tighter.

"I guess they're a little nervous, and their correspondent may not have been able to see the signal in time. Ji Xun, who was standing on the side, said.

He poked his head out of the window and repeated Wang Jiyuan's order with an electric loudspeaker, and downstairs there was a correspondent stepping on a moped and running towards several major positions. This is precisely the convenient place where the headquarters is set up on the fourth floor of the administrative building, which can overlook the entire battlefield and take into account the convenience of going up and down the stairs to make reports.

Wang Jiyuan had already seen that it was impossible for horse thieves to attack the city from a distance, and they would at least form a team after reaching the vicinity of the school. Besides, with the advantage that the school was a lot above the ground, their horses didn't play a big role. The most feasible way for the leader of the horse thieves is to rush to the bottom of the high ground of the school, then climb to the high ground where the school is located on foot, and then find a way to climb over the wall.

There was no doubt that the attack was most effective during the time they had climbed the high ground and rushed to the wall, and the school's original iron fence had been nailed with heavy wooden blocks, except for a few shooting holes, which were simply airtight. Coupled with the fact that there is a second line of defense ten meters behind the wall, as well as various fortifications on the roof, the defensive circle is actually quite stable. It is simply rare for the enemy to advance without paying a huge price.

However, after all, the team is too weak.

Ji Xun seemed to see Wang Jiyuan's worries, and took the initiative to say: "I'll go to various positions to inspect again and stabilize everyone's mood." ”

Wang Jiyuan waved his hand and said, "Wait, first see the direction of the opponent's main attack, and then you go there to see the situation." ”

Ji Xun nodded in agreement, Wang Jiyuan could see that Ji Xun looked very tired, and comforted: "I didn't let you go out to find Ji Yijun, I'm sorry." But this kid is like a monkey, and I don't think the horse thief can do anything about him. You are relieved first. ”

"I know the weight. Ji Xun slammed his fist on the windowsill, "We defeated the horse thief, and Xiaojun will be safe." That's the only thing I can do right now. ”

The two stood silently in front of the window and observed the horse thief's movements.

After a while, the ineffective gunfire finally stopped, and the horse-thief's rangers, with a rough and strange laugh, waved the torch in their hands, and galloped arrogantly in front of the high ground for a while, and galloped away to the horse thief brigade.

It was clear that the thieves had no intention of rushing up, and they stopped less than a kilometer from the school, divided into several groups, and held the school in several directions from due east to northwest, leaving only a gap leading to the black mountains in the rear. Judging by the number of torches, the main gate had the largest number of enemies, and several horse thieves had already begun to dismount and set up improvised camps.

Torches more than a man tall made of thick branches were erected, and wooden horses and fences were removed from the wagons and assembled to form the walls of the camp.

Ji Xun looked at it with a telescope for a while, and sighed: "I didn't expect these horse thieves to be quite disciplined, and they know how to encircle the three and set up camp." ”

"They can dominate the surrounding area, they must have their own ability. Wang Ji said from afar.

"If it's a thief who rushes up, it's easy to deal with. But these people obviously want to fight steadily, and this battle is not so easy to fight. I don't know if they'll attack tonight. ”

Wang Jiyuan affirmed: "It will be." Otherwise, they would not have had to come at night, and it would have been much more convenient to set up camp during the day. Apparently they know we have ranged weapons and want to take advantage of the darkness to reduce our target. ”

"Look there!" Ji Xun pointed to the enemy troops in the direction of the main gate, handed the binoculars to Wang Jiyuan, only to see that on a dirt slope in front of the main gate, there was a commotion among the people holding torches, and a group of horse thieves with shields surrounded a man in a robe came out, and the man looked in the direction of the school for a while, and then took out a roll of things.

I saw him unfold the thing with one hand, and dance in the air with the other. The yellow light accompanied his fingertips and slowly outlined a complex set of runes in the air. A moment later, the light dissipated, and a three-story dirt slope rose from the ground.

Wang Jiyuan exclaimed: "Could this be ......?"

"Magician. A voice rang out from behind him.
