Chapter 349: The county town of chaos
Inside the county town, the moonlight hung high, both inside and outside the city, it was very quiet, but no one could have imagined that at this time, a fierce battle broke out in the luxurious palace of the county town.
It was originally a place for leisure and entertainment and banquets for the powerful, but it was instantly covered by blood.
In the huge hall, flesh and blood were flying, and fallen corpses could be seen everywhere, but even so, the besieging sword and axe hands did not flinch at all, and fought fiercely with Su Qi'an and the four of them.
The four of them were surrounded, but the skills they showed made the Qingcheng County Guard, who had the chance to win, turn pale.
I thought that Su Qi'an was talking big, but who would have thought that under the siege of seventy or eighty sword and axe men, not only did he take down four people immediately.
On the contrary, a lot of hands were broken, and Su Qi'an's four people were covered in blood, but there was no fear on their faces, and some of them had a strong high fighting spirit.
The four of them were like four sharp blades, shuttling and wandering repeatedly, rushing into the hands of knives and axes, waving weapons in their hands, making deadly moves, and cleanly solving a few people.
The High Priest standing above looked at all of this and said coldly, "Let the crossbowman hand the hand, we are running out of time."
I wanted to cause as little movement as possible and take down Su Qi'an's four people in close combat, but after a cup of tea, these four people became more and more courageous the more they fought.
Su Qi'an's skills were not expected by the Qingcheng County Guard, and since he couldn't take it quickly, the Qingcheng County Guard immediately made a decision and gave a direct order.
Soon, twenty or thirty crossbowmen poured out from the corners of both sides above.
It's not that the county guard of Qingcheng doesn't want to gather more people, the county was originally controlled by the state envoy, and all his soldiers and horses were outside the city.
These 100 or so people were still the private soldiers of the county guard, and before the state envoy took over the county seat, these private soldiers hid in the underground secret room of the county government in advance according to the order of the Qingcheng county guard.
And the location of the underground secret room can lead to the palace above, and it is that there are still these private soldiers in their hands, so that the Qingcheng county guard is bold and dares to control the state envoy, and then has the opportunity to lure Su Qi'an to come here and take the opportunity to kill.
As long as Su Qi'an is dead, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle, and everything that happens in the county can be pushed to Su Qi'an's head, and even the state envoy can be killed, which is not impossible.
After all, who would seek justice for a dead man?
This is the last chance for the two to turn the tables, but they didn't expect this Su Qi'an to be so difficult.
The siege of seventy or eighty people can still resist stubbornly, and such people cannot be left.
The crossbowmen appeared, the arrows were aimed downward, the bow ropes had been drawn, and the arrows were all wound, but they did not release the arrows for a long time.
The reason Qingcheng County Guard looked at it for a while, and then found out what the problem was, Su Qi'an and the four of them were cunning enough to know that there were crossbowmen aiming at them.
Rushing directly into the hands of the knife and axe, fighting hand-to-hand with it, the two sides were in a scuffle, and it was difficult for the crossbowmen to guarantee that they would not shoot their own people, which made the crossbowmen hesitate to move.
Qingcheng County Shou's face was gloomy, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and snorted coldly, "As long as Su Qi'an's corpse is in this county, regardless of casualties, release arrows and arrows to this county."
The Qingcheng county guard said this, and the crossbowmen naturally did not dare to disobey, aiming at the rear and firing the arrows.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The arrows shot at a rapid pace, and the four people who fought fiercely instantly sensed it, and after solving the knife and axe hand in front of them, they held the palm of their hands and grabbed the placket of the dead knife and axe hand as a shield.
Arrows hit the corpses one after another, barely blocking the attack.
It's just that there are too many arrows, and in the fierce battle while dodging, the four of them all suffered arrow wounds of varying degrees, and the momentum of the attack slowed down significantly.
Under the layers of arrows, not only Su Qi'an's four people, but also the besieging knife and axe hands, at least a dozen people were accidentally injured and killed by arrows.
Su Qi'an and the four of them glanced at each other, threw the corpse that was shot into a sieve, and quickly retreated, hiding under a few vermilion pillars, temporarily breathing.
Immediately afterwards, the voices of Song Biao and Tong Zhan sounded loudly, "What a ruthless heart, even killing your own people."
"I said, everyone, are you willing to be the substitute ghost of the county guard? Is it worth it to work so hard and end up being killed by mistake?"
"That's right, kill us, you return
Can there be a way to live? If you die a marquis, someone will have to take the blame, think about it, when the time comes, you will all have to become scapegoats, we die, and you will be next!"
The words of the two of them had an effect on the remaining knife and axe hands, and the pace of rushing forward was slowed down a little.
Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other, obviously hesitating.
This hesitation did not last long, and then the voice of the Qingcheng county guard above sounded coldly.
"A group of fools, when have they been listening to the bewitchment of outsiders, they have all reached this point, if you don't kill them, you still have your life?"
"To tell you the truth, if they don't die, even if the county dies, and if the county dies, you will be buried together."
"Why are you stunned, if you want to live, do it quickly for this county! Kill Su Qi'an!"
"Lord County Shou is right, brothers, don't listen to this person's demagoguery, do it, kill Su Qi'an!"
A voice sounded in the hand of the sword and axe at the same time, which instantly sobered up the hesitant everyone.
That's right, they have already reached this point, how can they stop it, and then they can only bite the bullet, they must kill Su Qi'an before they can survive.
In an instant, the stagnant axemen rushed towards the four people hiding behind the pillar.
The crossbowmen above also aim the arrows early, as long as someone behind the pillar comes up, the next moment, they will unceremoniously shoot directly.
Looking at the knife and axe hand who said that he would change his face, Song Biao scolded secretly and said to Tong Zhan and Su Yong in the distance.
"It seems that I have to explain here today, Brother Tong, Yongzi, I'll give you an example, kill!"
Saying that, Song Biao held a big knife and rushed out directly, and Song Biao at this time was like a mad beast.
The big knife in his hand slashed, and the axe men who rushed in front of him were slashed by him one after another.
Blood splattered him, and at the same time, arrows in the distance shot at him.
Although Song Biao resisted in time, there were too many arrows, and Song Biao's shoulder was hit by an arrow again.
But Song Biao didn't care about the arrow wounds on his body at all, his eyes were red, he was holding the corpse of the knife and axe hand in his left hand, and the knife was in his right hand.
His target was obvious, not the axe men in front of him, but the crossbowmen in front of him.
Song Biao went crazy, and Tong Zhan and Su Yong, who were hiding in other pillars, also ignored it and rushed out.
With the arrows that came from him, he rushed towards the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest.
They know that if they want to survive and fight their way out, it is better to rush out, capture the thief and capture the king first, and take down these two people to have a chance to live.
The three of them were like mad beasts, rampage all the way, even if they were drenched in blood, but they couldn't stop them.
Looking at the three people who didn't want to die and came straight to themselves, the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest were obviously panicked.
Where had they seen such a scene, they were frightened and retreated, shouting hurriedly as they retreated.
"Hurry, hurry! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot them!"
The crossbowmen around him quickly came back to their senses and hurriedly set up their bows and shoot arrows.
It's just that they just made a move, and then a few arrows suddenly shot in the distance!
With a direct hit, several crossbowmen were killed on the spot, and everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked.
Under the farthest pillar, Su Qi'an stood up, and in his hand, there was an extra bow and crossbow at some point.
Looking closely, the material of this bow and crossbow is very similar to the previous iron spear, and when he swept his eyes, there was a short spear on Su Qi'an's waist.
Everyone instantly understood that this iron spear could be disassembled and combined into a bow.
It's the first time they've seen this thing, and it's really shocking.
It's just that everyone didn't have time to sigh at the moment, after several crossbowmen died, Su Qi'an took the bow and pulled the string, and shot a few arrows in a row.
There were no accidents, accurate hits, and two crossbowmen were killed.
This made the rest of the crossbowmen a little frightened, and they looked for cover to hide their whereabouts.
There is only one life, and if you die, you are really dead, who will spare your life.
"What are you doing in a daze, the knife and axe hand is on the priest, kill the surname Su, he is only one person, he is the end of the strong crossbow, go on!"
Some stunned knife and axe hands recovered, each showing a fierce look, and rushed towards Su Qi'an with a knife and axe in hand.
The high priest was right, no matter how powerful Su Qi'an was, but now he was only one person.
Even if they are in the waste, forty or fifty people rush up, and one person can drown him with a mouthful of spit!
Looking at the approaching knife and axe hand, Su Qi'an's face was calm, he took a deep breath, and after shooting a few more arrows, he held the short gun at his waist and was about to play with his life.
Suddenly, without warning, the iron door behind him made a dull sound with a bang.
Immediately after, under the dull gaze of everyone, the iron gate, which required the strength of ten people to open, collapsed with a bang.
The whole county government heard the movement clearly.
In an instant, the face of the guard company guarding outside the county government changed dramatically.
The commander of the guard company knew that something was wrong, and without saying a word, he rushed inside with someone.
The explosion in the county hall also shocked the state soldiers and the more than 100 guards of the county guard.
At the moment when the guard company rushed in, this group of people directly blocked the way of the guard company.
As the guards of the Qingcheng County Guard, when they were stationed in the county government, they received a death order from the county guard.
No matter what happens in the county government, Su Qi'an's people must be stopped at all costs.
Looking at the guards who appeared in front of him, the guard company commander had a gloomy face, was not polite, drew his knife and directly fought with this group of people.
Before making the move, the commander of the guard company was not stupid, and ordered his subordinates in advance to quickly sound the arrow signal.
As soon as the arrow sounded, the faces of the Dongshan troops outside the city changed greatly, and they got up one after another and rushed directly towards the county seat.
The sound of the arrow represents that Su Qi'an is in trouble, and it is the highest level of early warning.
The actions of the Dongshan Army also drove the county guards stationed on the other side.
These people did not plan to enter the city together, but together with the state soldiers, they blocked the Dongshan army.
At this time, no one could see that this was the trick of the county guard, and without fear, the Dongshan Army of the first and second regiments gathered and directly fought with the soldiers of the county and the state soldiers.
Suddenly, the county town, which was originally quiet and stable, had a chain reaction with the explosion of the iron gate of the county government.
Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides again, and the entire county city was instantly chaotic from the inside out.
