Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, she raised her hand to send out signal fireworks, and repelled the bandits who were close to her: "If you hold on, our army will be able to arrive soon." ”

With the sound of dogs barking nearby, the soldiers led by Sun Qing finally broke into the cafeteria.

But when she saw this scene, her heart sank to the bottom.

I saw that the soldiers brought by Sun Qing were crippled, wounded, and less than twenty people were left intact.

Similarly, Sun Qing's face was also ugly.

He secretly instigated a group of soldiers to follow him into the bandit village, the purpose was to get rid of the thieves' den in front of others and make meritorious contributions.

But he never thought that the small village could actually raise mastiffs!

As soon as Sun Qing rushed into the stockade, the group of mastiffs jumped like jackals and could bite off people's necks.

I finally fought all the way to the rear, but found that there were so many bandits gathered here.

Sun Qing clenched the handle of the knife, he was careless......

Talk about two ends.

When Dong Qingxian received the signal from Liu Ruyan, he led the remaining soldiers into the stockade, and then found the mastiff and the corpse of the Song army at the gate of the stockade.

Dong Qingxian looked carefully and finally found that a green brick had a different color. He approached and saw five triangles carved side by side with a knife on the masonry.

This is the "road talisman" left to him by Liu Ruyan.

The so-called road charm - usually used when scouts spy on intelligence, different road symbols represent different meanings.

And what he sees now means that Liu Ruyan is about to carry out an assassination operation.

Dong Qingxian continued to lead his troops deep into the enemy village.

While passing near the granary, he found the same road charm again, but soon he realized that something was wrong.

At the same time as the sound of fighting was heard in the distance, he heard a clear whistle:

Three long, two short, one melodious.

According to the transmission of information, the translation is - surrounded by thieves, please add troops, and fight the enemy with a crossbow array!

He looked at Chen Ran: "Brother Chen Ran is familiar with the array, and he also hopes to use the crossbow array to fight the enemy." ”

Chen Ran nodded, gave the order with a solemn expression, and let the soldiers advance in formation.

There was a lot of scuffle in the cafeteria.

Liu Ruyan heard the whistle coming back from the opposite side, she immediately raised her hand and made a gesture, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Quickly retreat-"

After all, the Song army had experienced professional military training, and when they heard the password, everyone did not love to fight, and retreated to safety.

The next moment, the blue sky was sprinkled with a rain of arrows, and the ground was full of red blood flowers.

Countless bandits fell one after another.

The leader of the bandits dodged just in time, he overturned a round table in the cafeteria, made it stand upright, and then ducked behind the table.

Seeing this, the thieves also overturned the round table.

The top ten tables kept rolling, and finally put them together, and actually put a temporary defense to block the strong attack of the rain of arrows.

In the middle of the night, the crossbowmen stopped firing their arrows.

Everyone rushed into the cafeteria, but saw that there was no half a figure behind the round table, Dong Qingxian frowned: "How can people disappear out of thin air?" ”

Liu Ruyan looked around, "There may be a secret passage around here, everyone be careful." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, above her head, there was a "boom" and an arrow feather was shot.

Liu Ruyan dodged quickly, but more arrows followed.

The Song army was suddenly counterattacked by the enemy, and many soldiers were hit by hidden arrows.

Dong Qingxian looked up and saw that in the watchtower-like building opposite, there was a black pressed human head.

Although the powerful crossbow in the hands of the Song army has a long range and great strength, it is more complicated to operate than ordinary bows and arrows.

At this time, the Song army responded in a panic, even if they raised their shields to defend, they still couldn't escape the fate of heavy casualties.

The leader of the bandits looked down at the audience, and his eyes were full of meaning, "Shoot all these soldiers, and leave no one behind!" ”

"Yes, Boss!"

All the thieves were full of strength, with their bows and arrows, and their attention was all ahead, and no one noticed the extra figure in the crowd.

The man walked like a ghost, jumping behind the bandit leader, and the next moment, the cold moon scimitar was across his neck.

Liu Ruyan said coldly: "Let them all stop, otherwise, the master will make your head unsafe." ”

The leader immediately panicked, and said with a white face: "Don't, don't...... The strong man's men are merciful......"

The scimitar in Liu Ruyan's hand was even closer, "Don't give the order yet!" ”

"Stop, stop firing arrows!" He shouted.

The bandits looked back in a daze, but saw that the leader was captured by Liu Ruyan, and he was not embarrassed.

"Let go of the boss!" The crowd shouted angrily.

Liu Ruyan was unmoved, she coerced the leader to retreat step by step, and whistled again in her mouth.

This time her voice was sharp and urgent, spreading in all directions.

"This spy is passing on a code?" The bandit finally reacted, and subconsciously raised his bow and arrow, aiming at Liu Ruyan.

Her palms tightened suddenly.

The leader raised his head in pain and shouted: "Bastard, if any of you dare to release arrows, Lao Tzu will die!" ”

Not long after she sent out the code, Dong Qingxian led the troops to the watchtower.

The two gangs fought again.

In addition to brute force, the bandits were not opponents of the regular army after all, and they didn't even have time to shoot arrows with bows before they were slashed by the Song army, and it didn't take long for the building to be full of the corpses of the thieves.

Looking at the watchtowers like Shura Field, blood and broken limbs everywhere, Liu Ruyan turned her eyes, tied the leader with a rope, and ordered him to hand over his private belongings.

The leader saw that the general trend had gone, and at this moment he was disgraced, so he had to pretend to be his grandson and give out all the old things that he had guarded for most of his life.

On the way of the Song army to carry grain and grass, Liu Xin bumped into the little maid sneaking out of the stockade.

He asked Xiang Liu Ruyan, "Do you want to arrest her back?" ”

Liu Ruyan looked at the back of the maid who ran away alone, and sighed: "No need, she doesn't protect the master well, and she must have a hard time in the future." ”

At this time, Mrs. Yu's whereabouts were still unknown, so she and Liu Xin went separately to search for it, and finally found it in a utility room.

When Mrs. Yu learned that Liu Ruyan wanted to escort her to the county office, Mrs. Yu had mixed feelings, and finally thanked: "The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, and the slave family is willing to offer a hundred taels of gold to show her heart." ”

You know, in the prosperous times, you can buy antiques, and in troubled times, you can buy gold.

In this world, only gold and silver can maintain their value, and Mrs. Yu is willing to give her a hundred taels of gold, which is a big deal!

Liu Ruyan thought for a while, and then pushed back: "It's just a gesture, Madame doesn't have to worry." ”

As she spoke, her eyes were gentle, and her eyes were full of smiles, "I hope that Mrs. will take care of herself." ”

Mrs. Yu thanked her again.

Subsequently, the soldiers searched the entire bandit village to the bottom, not even a single dog was spared, and all of them should be charged to the army, which can be called a goose plucking.

When Liu Ruyan ran to the leader's room to loot his belongings, he met the cellar uncle.

Gong Yuyu had a cloak and a beard on his chin, he bumped into Liu Ruyan entering the house, hurriedly picked up something on the table, and hid it in his sleeve.

"This thing is mine." He twisted his head to the side, his voice muffled.

She stared at the man, and after a quick glance just now, she could vaguely recognize it as a secondary hidden arrow.
