Volume 1: Frost Dance and Dust Chapter 8 Slaughter the City and Fight Back
For a normal man with strong self-esteem, it is a humiliation to be told in public about a eunuch or an unspeakable hidden disease, whether it is true or not.
"Stinky girl, look for death!" Qin Leopard finally couldn't bear it anymore, and brandished the big knife in his hand to attack Gongsun Wanshuang.
The corners of Gongsun Wanshuang's lips raised slightly, as if everything was under her control. Flying from the horse, he drew his sword and struck each other. The two faced each other for dozens of rounds in front of the two sides, swords and swords, and they were evenly matched. No one can suppress the other, and no one can help the other.
However, after a long time, Qin Leopard and his brothers gradually developed disdain for Gongsun Wanshuang in their hearts: women are women after all, and they can never compare to men. Therefore, the multiple scars on Qin Leopard's body are very painful to look at, but they are not serious or fatal, and this pain is nothing to Qin Leopard, who is used to licking blood from the knife edge.
Roughly figuring out the number of Gongsun Wanshuang's paths, Qin Leopard no longer did much entanglement, and raised his knife to slash hard. Gongsun Wanshuang's horizontal sword blocked, and the sword body was bent in an arc by force, and then this force bounced her backwards. This knife was mixed with the spiritual power that only monks have, and she was not surprised, it was completely expected.
Gongsun Wanshuang accurately fell back on the horse's back and immediately turned around and returned to the city. "Withdraw your troops! Close the gates! β
The bandits have come to slaughter the city, how can they let them get their wish? Immediately afterwards, when the city gate was about to be blocked, it crashed open, rushed into the city, and slashed the people on the streets. In a short time, the streets of the city gate were strewn with corpses.
When all the bandits stepped into the city, and the leader went deep into the city and felt that there were fewer and fewer living people, everyone realized that something was wrongβthey had been tricked!
The leaders did not panic, expecting that the army would come prepared, so how could they not come prepared and empty-handed? One of them commanded, "Little ones, bring them up!" β
After a while, the sound of crying came from the crowd, from far and near, from young women to young children.
"Help, help!"
"Help, who's going to save us!"
"Dad, mother, I'm afraid ......"
"Uncles, please let me go, my brother is sick and is still waiting for me at home......"
The more the bandits heard about the cries for help and begging for mercy, the more excited they became, wishing that they would shout as louder the better, relying on the army not to kill the people, so the trick of threatening hostages was tried and tested.
Since they entered the city, no soldier has been seen except for the people who have been slashed, which means that the hundreds of soldiers and the girl disappeared into thin air after returning to the city. In the same way, how can a huge city only have a few unlucky ghosts who have been cut down?
"Boss Qin, this is a cannibal city or a deserted city, it's so weird."
"That's right, Leopard Boss. There are not a few living people in broad daylight, and the empty city plan still sings like this? β
"If it's a deserted city, then the inhabitants of this place are scared away by our prestige. It is definitely impossible to eat people, if there are some demons and monsters who have made a fuss about it and invited people to beat gongs and drums to make a fuss, we will not know? A sane leader analyzed.
After a general look around, Qin Leopard ordered a few of his subordinates and ordered, "You take a few people to smash open a few nearby houses to see if there are any people inside." β
A small group of people scattered as they were told, and went from room to room to check to see if there was anyone inside. Who is not afraid of the spooky atmosphere? So they didn't go very far, no more than four or five streets.
Qin Leopard and the others didn't wait too long, and he had already guessed the answer in his heart, and he just wanted to verify the facts. Sure enough, all the people who came back from the search reported the same result - there was not a single living person except for the one killed when he entered the city. In other words, the place where they were located was an empty city, and all the people of the city seemed to have moved away overnight.
"That's not right, if you really move away, why don't you take your clothes and daily utensils with you? I didn't look like a migration, but like I went out hunting and came back later. β
"Regardless of whether he migrates or evaporates, there must be something strange about the deserted city in short. Also, Boss, do you think that the soldiers before entering the city were too calm, as if they would win the battle today? β
Of course, Qin Leopard is not stupid to be the leader of the bandits, he will not be able to see what his subordinates can see? The other party's purpose couldn't be simpler, deliberately leading them into the city, so as to catch turtles in an urn.
The court has encircled and suppressed many times, and they have not used any tricks, haven't they all broken through, not to mention that there are hostages in their hands, and it is not difficult to use them to get out. Qin Leopard shouted casually in a certain direction: "So many women and children are begging you for help, haven't you always taken it as your responsibility to protect the people, are you deaf or blind today, and you can't save them all when you hide and die?!" β
"That's right, I didn't hear the people shouting for help, they were all quite powerful at the city gate just now, and now they are hiding their heads and tails to be turtles with shrunken heads?"
"Why, after a few defeats, I don't dare to come out to compete with my grandfather and me again? The people who often talk about it are not saved? β
A stack of shouting clouds, I thought that I could stimulate the other party to take the lead, so that they could expose their position, but I didn't know that there was still no half of a figure, only the woman's laughter came from the sky, and the voice was ethereal and couldn't distinguish the direction. "Using women and children as shields at the moment of crisis is really powerful and heroic!"
A sneering sneer just hit the sore spot of the bandits, "You are stupid, you can't get out of the predicament, but you complain that the army refuses to release people, and the soldiers who don't kill the bandits are waste!" In my opinion, letting you out of the city is a cruelty to the people, and it is a dereliction of duty! β
"According to what you said, the people who live in the city need the protection of the army, but what we have in our hands is not the people and we don't need protection?" Qin Leopard quibbled.
Gongsun Wanshuang knew that the bandit was determined to die, and he wanted to divert his hateful gaze, so he looked forward to getting out and poking things out, so as to pour dirty water on the army, hoping to anger Long Wei again and finally end up with a miserable death.
Gongsun Wanshuang was too lazy to bother with him, and said to the group of hostages: "The women who went out of the bandits' den have a few good reputations, but it is better to die headlong but can leave a good reputation of 'unbearable humiliation, rather than give in', maybe the heroic deeds can also move the Son of Heaven, and each person will be rewarded with a chaste archway." β
The cry for help soon weakened, Xu was tired of shouting, maybe he felt that what Gongsun Wanshuang said made some sense, women have a low status and many rules, this is an indisputable fact. But there were also people who were dissatisfied, and shouted to the sky: "You also ran out of the bandits' den, why do you want us to die for the sake of honor, but you can live!" β
Gongsun Wanshuang only blocked the person back with a relaxed sentence. "I can take the thief's lair with my own hands to prove my innocence, can you do it?"
A leader chirped: "The yellow-haired girl is not ashamed, and you are also worthy!" Phew! β
"Hahahaha......" Gongsun Wanshuang didn't laugh angrily, and threw it to the bandits with a faint sentence: "It's up to them to tell you whether they are worthy or not." This sentence made people feel as if they were characters in a game, and she was the one who set up the game, and the tone of her speech was really uncomfortable for the bandits.
Soon, when the bandits saw the thirty-three detained figures on the tall building not far away, their faces were full of surprise, and then a hint of surprise swept by: the brothers are still alive!
No, no, the number of people is not right, even if they didn't kill all the people yesterday, there are only a dozen people left, but now there are more than 30 people, so whose head is hanging on the city wall? Qin Leopard looked at Qin Dahu and the others in astonishment and suspicion.
Gongsun Wanshuang was blind and couldn't see carefully, but she was blind and not blind, and she had already expected Qin Leopard's thoughts, so she kindly explained: "We did release the news to kill the pirates." But we didn't say exactly how many people we killed. As for the heads, they were made from other death row inmates changing their appearances, they are exactly the same! β
ββ¦β¦β
After a slight pause, he said: "Having said so much, I might as well tell you again that some of the people you killed when you entered the city were living people, and the best of despicable character specially selected for killing them with confidence." The other part is transformed by demon beasts, and the two have one thing in common, they will become ferocious after death! β
Whether it is a hostage or a bandit, their faces are all white.
The hostages couldn't believe their ears, they all wished they had heard it wrong, and they wished that they couldn't hear anything if they were deaf, because no one wanted to hear these cruel words, let alone face the terrible fact that they were about to be torn apart by a vicious creature.
The bandits were shocked that how could the army let a woman lead the army in this campaign? It's still a ruthless and treacherous yellow-haired girl! She can even use the lives of the people in the city at will, no wonder she doesn't take the hostages in their hands seriously.
A certain leader immediately shouted: "You are a, you actually kidnap the brothers to threaten us!" Let them go, or you will not die well, and no one will want to live! β
"Yes, it's a big deal that we'll die with this despicable army!"
"Together, all the ......" the bandits raised their swords and echoed angrily, quite the morale of fighting to the death.
"Despicable, what a nice thing to say! It makes no sense that if you are allowed to take hostages, I will not allow me to take your brothers hostage. The cold tone was not half emotional.
The bandits were still trying to fight each other, but a few screams had suddenly come out from behind to remind them that the game had begun. Gongsun Wanshuang hid in the shadows, watching with great interest how lively the chess game would be.
The lying corpses had all risen from the ground and gathered towards the bandits. The bandits slashed and slashed, but the corpse after death was as hard as a solid plank, no matter how the blade cut, it only left a hole on the surface of the skin, which was not deep or shallow, and of different thicknesses.
On the other hand, the puppet-like corpse is bent into claws, and when it grabs the bandit, there are five shocking bloody wounds. Some simply went straight through the bandit's torso, causing them to die through the body.
Qin Leopard saw that the brothers who followed him from birth to death died tragically one after another, and there were still blood holes on his body that were unbearable to look at, and his heart was like being pierced by countless steel needles, which was extremely painful. And he didn't have the leisure to grieve for the dead, and he knew why the girl dared to be so arrogant, because she was a monk like himself.
