Chapter 43: Retreat

"Whoosh !!" Fifty bows, three shots each, methodical!

Most of these captain-level sergeants are cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, only Xue Gui and Qi Zhu are cultivators at the beginning of the Xuan Realm, but they have very rich battlefield experience!

Everyone's response was so fast and without panic!

This arrow contains the power of the divine soul, and the sound of breaking the sky is sheng, and more than a hundred arrows rush towards these bandits at great speed!

"Grandma's, I've got a hard stubble!"

Zhou Qilang shouted while resisting with a knife, he could see that these people were not simple, but he didn't expect to kill decisively and react extremely quickly, and this form was almost reversed!

"Mu Qing, who the are they! How is it so powerful! ”

"Hehe, chief, these are the most elite soldiers of my Xiongfeng Empire, the old department of the Lin family army in Southern Xinjiang"

Mu Qing's divine soul turned into a shield to protect his body, and he was not afraid of this arrow at all. Hearing Zhou Qilang's question, he took advantage of the night to move to Zhou Qilang's side, turned his head, and looked at Zhou Qilang gloomily and said.

Zhou Qilang was shocked, didn't he push Lao Tzu into the fire pit, this is not a big household, but a serious nail household!

"Mu Qing, how dare you....... Ho ho ........"

Before Mu Qing could finish speaking, taking advantage of the night and chaos, he stretched out his hand and snatched an arrow from the air and stabbed it into Zhou Qilang's throat, at this time Zhou Qilang wanted to speak but could only make a ho-ho sound, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, looking at Mu Qing incredibly, full of resentment.

"Not good! The boss has been shot! Hurry back! ”

Mu Qing roared in pain, holding Zhou Qilang in his arms, who was not yet dead, and his hand shook, only to see Zhou Qilang's body tremble slightly, and the light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

When Mu Qing hugged Zhou Qilang and stepped back, he deliberately let an arrow in his shoulder.

Everyone retreated fifty zhang, and the brothers of Feilong Valley were extremely angry when they saw Zhou Qilang's death, and someone stood up to accuse Mu Qing:

"If you didn't get the leader here, how would he die!"

"What do you say! What I did in Flying Dragon Valley was a knife licking blood, and my head was already pinned to the waistband of my trousers, life and death are fateful, what do I have to do with the second master! ”

In the past few days that Mu Qing has been in Flying Dragon Valley, he has secretly attracted a lot of people, so someone has stood up to speak for him!

He interrupted the man, clutching the wound on the back of the arrow, and said:

"I, Mu Qing, I'm sorry Brother Zhou! I'm willing to accompany you with my life! But Brother Zhou's bones are not cold, if I don't avenge him, I won't be blind to Mu Qing's death! ”

"If any of you want to avenge Brother Zhou with me, stay and leave, and if you want to leave, you will leave, and I will never stop you!"

Mu Qing's impassioned speech, many people who listened to it were surging in their hearts, this person in the rivers and lakes is the most righteous, if he leaves now, won't he be able to raise his head for the rest of his life!

"My third dog has been following the second master since then, if it weren't for the second master, we would have died there last time! Do you say it is?"

"Me Da Biao too! In the future, the only two masters are the first to look forward."

"Me too"

"Me too!"

“............”

The eldest is dead, and the second child naturally wants to take the position, and those who can see it clearly immediately stand up to show their loyalty.

"You ..... You guys.... Have you all forgotten what the boss did to you!"

The person who said that he resented Mu Qing just now looked at the others expressing their loyalty, and his heart was extremely unhappy.

"From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge! Brothers, go."

He is the person brought out by Zhou Qilang, and he treats Zhou Qilang like a father, he is very angry when such a thing happens, but he can't find evidence, and there are many younger brothers under him, there are dozens of people, but when he beckoned his brothers to leave, many people hesitated.

They have been expelled a long time ago, and they don't know where to settle down when they leave, so no one moves.

Mu Qing gave Mu Yan a look!

Mu Yan stepped forward and slit the man's throat from behind, watching the man slowly fall

"Big brother, we want to avenge Brother Zhou, but he wants to escape, such a disloyal and unrighteous person, what should he leave him to do?"

Lin Yan wiped the blood stains on the spatula, looked at everyone fiercely, and turned his head to Mu Qing and said.

"Avenge the leader!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting

"Avenge the chief! Avenge the Chief! Avenge the Chief! ”

Mu Qing looked at this situation and was extremely satisfied.

He knew that this person was dead, and even if someone had suspicions in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Mu Qing asked Mu Yan to take a group of people to ambush first, staring at Xue Gui and them.

He himself led his men to attack from the front, and he knew that these men would definitely not have many arrows, so they would not use bows and arrows to resist the enemy as they had just done.

Sure enough, Xue Gui did not let the soldiers release arrows again, but divided into thirty people, each of whom was in groups of three, and scattered and hid on Mu Qing's offensive path.

Mu Qing didn't take action in person, he ordered Mu Yan to lead people to rush to the front, and he commanded in the rear.

These people deserve to be bandits, several times the thirty bandits rushed out at once, including some masters, these thirty people blocked the front, killed a lot of bandits, but they were still slowly forced to retreat.

Xue Gui saw that the situation was not good, so he asked Qi Zhu to find two people to escort the envoy to secretly go out of the mountain from the other side, and wanted to ask for help from a nearby county.

And Mu Qing had already seen this scene from a distance, this was his purpose, the life or death of these people had nothing to do with him, what he wanted was to spread the situation.

Xue Gui and the others kept retreating, retreating to the mountain pass, and Mu Yan led the people to chase and kill behind!

This col is strange and rocky, the entrance of the col is like a pocket, the opening of the pocket is very small, it can only accommodate a few people to pass through, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two gangs of men and horses have suffered a lot of losses here.

Although the Lin family's army suffered fewer losses, with a total of eleven losses and seven serious injuries, nearly two hundred people had already died.

At this moment, both sides were red-eyed, and Mu Qing saw that it was almost there, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops and retreated.

Mu Qing asked people to set up camp not far from the mountain pass, apparently preparing to trap Xue Gui and them.

In the camp, Mu Qing held a feast.

"Brothers, this is my Mu Qing's savings in this life, I will take out half of it today, the brothers will divide it, and the remaining half, when the leader of Zhou gets revenge, this gold and silver will be rewarded for meritorious deeds."

"Good! Thank you for being the second master! ”

Everyone got up to toast, but Mu Qing waved his hand, picked up the wine bowl and said:

"Brothers, this first glass of wine, first salute the dead brother!"

As he spoke, he poured the wine on the ground, and when everyone saw this, they all praised Mu Qing's righteousness.

After Mu Qing finished singing, he left the wine table.

The three of them were rescued by a mysterious person when their parents died when they were young, practiced the exercises, and did a lot of dirty things for that person, but they never saw the true face of that person.

A few years ago, the three of them were arranged to enter Liyang City, obeying the arrangement of Chu Hongyang of the Chu family, and since then the mysterious person has never shown up again.

This time, Chu Hongyang arranged for him to be here early, just to intercept the old department of the Lin family halfway and attract Lin Tao to come, so as to get rid of him.

The two escorted the envoy into the nearby county town of Zangshan County and reported the matter to the county guard, but the county guard was frightened by this bandit before, and the main force of the defenders in the county town was transferred to the front camp, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled.

He said that he would send troops as soon as possible, but he was extremely distressed in his heart.

The county guard arranged for the sergeant to report the form of this place to Liyang quickly, and at the same time sent someone to send the envoy back.

The two captains couldn't wait, worried about Xue Gui's safety, and immediately went back.

Sure enough, the county guard did not send troops for a long time, and it took ten days for a team of about 200 people to come, but Mu Yan only brought 50 people to rush over as if they were dying, and the team collapsed at the touch of a button, and there was no way to fight back.

Everyone watching the battle in the mountain col sighed, they really wanted to be trapped to death by this gang of bandits.

Now, if you want to rush out, it's not impossible, but I don't know if these people have set up an ambush outside, and their horses were all left behind that night, and it is too difficult to break through without horses.

Xue Gui already knew that he couldn't pin his hopes on the county town, the closest one was Zangshan County, and there were several big counties farther away, but without the will of the Holy Emperor, the county guards had no right to transfer troops privately, and daring to transfer troops across the county was a crime of rebellion.

So, now he can only rely on himself.

He immediately gathered all the grain together, and then sent people to look for food and water in the mountain pass, first of all, to ensure that he could not break through the siege and had no food and grass supply.

Sentinels were placed on high places, guards were changed in turn, trees were cut down, barriers were erected at the entrance to the cols, and sentry posts were erected.

On the mountain, local materials were used, and mechanisms such as rolling stones and rolling logs were made, and the entrance of the mountain and the slope below the mountain were used to plan in advance.

After he was done, he and Qi Zhu sat down to discuss the current situation carefully.

"It's been half a month, and if we stay like this, we won't have enough food"

Qi Zhu sat next to the campfire and filled the firewood as he spoke.

"I know, but it's not a good time to break out, and you can't joke with the lives of your brothers. We've lost thirteen brothers."

"It is estimated that the news has reached Liyang City in this half a month, if we hold on for a while, the rescue may arrive soon!"

Xue Gui himself didn't know if the rescuers would come, but he wanted to give them hope, and the experience of his ten-year career in the field told him that he could only live with hope, and if there was no hope, there would really be no hope.

"Even if the news arrives in Liyang City, who cares about us, since Lin Shuai's death, we are not even as good as that beggar in the eyes of others! Everybody wants to step on us! Come back to us and dream."

Qi Zhu was already dissatisfied with today's court because of what happened in southern Xinjiang, and now he was blocked on the mountain by this thief, and he was already full of hatred when he watched his brothers die in front of him!

"It's all because the slave family is not good, it's all because the slave family has brought so much danger to the general, it's better to hand over the slave family."

Bai Yun stood behind Xue Gui and said with a miserable expression.

"What does it have to do with you, as a soldier of the Xiongfeng Empire, I should protect my people, this is what it should be, you don't have to cry and cry"
