Chapter 227: The Truth Revealed! A real secret!
The situation on the battlefield is often changing rapidly.
Tailwinds and headwinds, in the blink of an eye, will swap with each other, and no one knows what kind of accident will happen in the next moment, and where the victorious gods will lean.
At this moment, Du Cheng finally understood this sentence deeply - with the lives of nearly 100 people on his side.
A quarter of an hour ago, Du Cheng used his words to attack the members of the Four Elephants Organization, trying to shake their confidence and morale to prevent the members of the Four Elephants from breaking out of the inn.
Originally, his plan was very effective, after knowing that the reinforcements were blocked by Lin Feng's people, and after seeing the new barrier formed by the Du family's unstoppable blades, the morale of the members of the Four Elephants Organization was really greatly hit, and the momentum of rushing out was obviously sluggish.
With Du Cheng's ability, he quickly understood that his plan was effective, so he continued to speak, shaking the hearts of the members of the Four Elephants with various words, constantly influencing them and hitting them...... And if there is anyone in this world who is the best at scolding, arranging people, and stimulating people, there is no doubt that they are readers.
The mouth of a scholar is sometimes far sharper than the knife, and it can pierce people's hearts, and the scars are full of holes, but it is impossible to refute.
And the great Confucian family is the best among the scholars, the verbal attack is naturally more terrifying, Du Cheng is familiar with it, and his ability in this area is not bad at all, plus he is also well versed in the art of war, and knows what the enemy is most afraid of.
But who knows, just when everyone in the Du family thought that they were about to win, an accident happened......
Just as Du Cheng continued to output, just when the Du family's attention was focused on the increasingly desperate Sixiang members at the door of the inn, a piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded.
Everyone in the Du family subconsciously followed the prestige.
What they saw was a group of black-clothed men who had come to the shadows in the corner not far from them at some point, and the crossbow arrows that had just been fired by these black-clothed men with crossbows.
Crossbow arrows have a short range, can be within range, and are faster and more powerful than bows and arrows.
When the Du family heard the voice, it was already too late.
Before the Du family on the periphery could react to what was happening, the crossbow arrows had already shot into their front doors, and then ...... With a pop, a small crossbow arrow pierced their heads in an instant.
In the eyes of Du Cheng and the others, what they saw was such a scene - hundreds of crossbow arrows shot out, and the peripheral members were directly stabbed backwards by the crossbow arrows and even flew upside down directly, forehead, eyes, throat, heart, arms, ...... Almost everywhere in the human body, there are people who have been shot by crossbow arrows and have been killed or screamed in pain.
And at this time, those black-clothed people who released crossbow arrows directly dragged their long knives, took three steps and made two steps, without a word of nonsense, and took the opportunity to kill directly.
They rushed to the Du family, who were not killed, but howled in pain on the spot, and their cold hands fell with their knives...... One by one, heads rose from the ground.
The smell of blood instantly filled the air, and the gurgling blood formed a stream directly on the clean streets.
It wasn't until this moment that Du Cheng reacted in horror, his pupils twitched uncontrollably violently, his hands trembled and he held the reins tightly, and roared: "Enemy attack!" Stop them! ”
But the Du family's nursing home had been shocked, and they didn't react so quickly, and these indifferent black-clothed people, like ruthless killing machines, rushed directly into the Du family, instantly turning the Du family's guards on their backs.
At this time, Kuisu had already led people to the door of the inn.
Looking at this scene on the street outside, he sneered and gave the order directly, allowing Skinny Monkey and Scarface to seize the opportunity to charge.
The Du family's formation was in chaos, and they couldn't even deal with these enemies who suddenly appeared, let alone face the real fierce people among the members of the Four Elephants, and they were even more powerless to stop them......
Finally, for only a quarter of an hour, when the fighting stopped for the time being, everything was ...... It's been turned upside down.
The trapped Sixiang members in the inn all rushed out, and Du Cheng and the others, who had the advantage, were already besieged on the street.
On one side was the member of the Four Elephants who rushed out of the inn, and on the other side was the man in black who didn't know when he appeared and who it was, even if Lin Feng sent someone to stop the reinforcements arranged by Kuisu, the Du family still did not escape the result of the front and back attacks.
Everything is like fate.
"How so?"
The Du family nursing home, who was holding a plate axe, looked at the scene of a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, his face turned pale, and his palms holding the plate axe were in cold sweat.
He didn't understand how a situation that was so good could suddenly become like this.
Du Cheng had already dismounted his horse, these black-clothed men who suddenly appeared had crossbow arrows in their hands, and the target he rode on the horse was too obvious and too dangerous, so he had to get off his horse and hide in the crowd.
At this moment, he was protected in the middle by the Du family's nursing home, but he didn't have any sense of security, but his palpitating hands trembled uncontrollably.
He waved his sleeves and hid his trembling hands in his sleeves so that he would not be discovered by the nursery...... At this moment, he must pretend to be calm, otherwise once the nursing home finds out that he is panicked, it will be completely hopeless.
Du Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the mysterious person wearing a black robe and hood standing in front of the members of the Four Elephants, he knew that this person was the leader of the Four Elephants Organization's actions this time, and whether he could find a glimmer of life or not was all on this person.
"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
Du Cheng arched his hands and let himself make a calm voice, intending to create the illusion that he was still calm.
But waiting for Du Cheng's answer, it was an undisguised mockery: "You are not qualified to know who I am." ”
Kui Su raised his head slightly, looked through the shadow shrouded in the hood, looked at Du Cheng who was protected in the center, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and said slowly: "Are you thinking about how to get words out of my mouth now, so as to know if these people in black who suddenly appeared are my accomplices, if not, can you find an opportunity to separate us, or buy them with a lot of money, so as to find a glimmer of life out of danger?" ”
Du Cheng listened to Kui Su's words, his pupils suddenly contracted unconcealed, his eyelids were completely subconsciously beating wildly, and his heart sank suddenly.
He hurriedly spoke, wanting to deny Kuisu's speculation, but Kuisu didn't give him a chance to refute at all, and said directly: "You are very lucky, because I have always been kind to people who are dying, and I am willing to answer your questions." ”
Du Cheng raised his head in astonishment and looked at Kuisu.
But Kuisu's face was completely covered by the hood, and he couldn't see the other party's situation at all, so he listened to the other party say slowly: "Unfortunately, the last luck in your heart can't be realized...... These people are my companions, we have the same goal, and you can't get separated from them. ”
"Oh, and ...... Even if we're not accomplices, you can't be separated from them, because there's no way to communicate with them......"
Kui Su said with a smile: "After all, they don't have tongues, they can't even speak, how can you communicate with them and know their demands?" ”
Du Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he turned his head sharply to look at the black-clothed people who were blocking behind, but saw that after they heard Kuisu's words, they didn't react at all, like that, as if they didn't have personal emotions, they were really just simple killing machines.
Suddenly, Du Cheng thought of the identities of these men in black - dead soldiers!
Born to kill!
Obey only the orders of the master!
It is impossible for such a dead man to betray his master!
"It's over."
Du Cheng's heart completely fell into the abyss.
The last hope was also lost.
His only hope now is that he can take advantage of the chaos to escape in the next battle...... But will these cunning and ruthless members of the Four Elephants ignore themselves?
And even if he could, no one else would be able to...... When the time comes, these four elephant members will definitely kill the Du family.
Without the protection of himself and others, how could the Du family resist the Four Elephants Organization with new reinforcements joining?
And once something happens to the Du family, even if he escapes, what good will he do?
The more Du Cheng thought about it, the more desperate he became.
He couldn't help but say to Kui Su: "These dead soldiers haven't made a move before, and you don't make a move until you are in a desperate situation until now...... You already have these helpers, so why not use them in advance? Aren't you afraid that there will be an accident and you will really be burned to death in the inn? ”
When Kui Su heard this, he just said lightly: "The reason why the hole card is the hole card is to be used at the moment when the winner is decided." ”
"I know...... You are all sent by Lin Feng, with Lin Feng's cunning and trickery, he will never wait for death obediently, so I must confuse Lin Feng and make Lin Feng think that all my means have been exhausted, so that Lin Feng can make a move without reservation and let all his hole cards be displayed. ”
"At this time, I will use my hole cards again to make the final decision."
"Look......"
Kui Su looked at Du Cheng, his tone was smug, and said, "Aren't you the best example?" I'm trapped in the inn, and I'm in danger of being burned to death, and if it can be exchanged for a split second reversal, it's all worth it. ”
Du Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his mouth was open and closed for a long time, but he didn't make any sound.
He didn't know what to say.
If you become a king or lose a king, it is useless to say anything.
…………
Meanwhile.
Not far from the inn on the roof of a house.
Lin Feng and the others were lying here, looking at the street in front of the inn with the help of the raging fire of the inn.
They watched the Du family's advantage turn into a disadvantage, and watched the Four Elephants Organization complete the counter-killing, and no one made any sound during the whole process.
At this moment, seeing that everyone in the Du family was being attacked from front to back, and there was no way to live, Zhao Xieyang finally couldn't hold back anymore: "How can this be...... Didn't Lin Sizheng already block the reinforcements of the Four Elephants Organization? How can there be new people? ”
Lin Feng sighed and said, "Do you still need to ask?" It's obvious...... They had more than one reinforcement. ”
"And these people who came last ......"
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, his dark eyes were reflected red by the firelight, hiding the surging waves, and he said, "Obviously, it's not the person they have been chasing me all along. ”
"According to my calculations, the reinforcements that An Shen stopped just made up for what they lacked, and that should have been their last manpower......"
Zhao Xieyang frowned: "But in fact, they still have a man, and the combat power and equipment of this manpower far exceed the people trapped in the inn." ”
Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath and nodded, "So...... I was deceived by them, too. ”
"I thought that the Four Elephants Organization valued me enough to send a force of 1,000 people to intercept me, which was already very important to me...... But who knows, they don't even think a thousand people are enough. ”
"My mistake is that I underestimated the killing heart of the Four Elephants Organization to me, and I also made a mistake in belittling the leader of the Four Elephants Organization, which has lagged behind me every time."
"I didn't expect that he didn't use this strongest force in the entire operation to hunt me down, which completely made me ignore the existence of this human force, if I hadn't driven him into a corner, I'm afraid that in the end, he wouldn't have let people know the existence of this mysterious force hidden in the deepest depths."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia comforted: "Zide, this can't be blamed on you, they have always hidden this power, and have never let them do anything, in our eyes, these people do not exist, you are good at cracking secrets according to clues, but now they are not doing anything, leaving no clues, how can you know them?" ”
Zhao Shifu also hurriedly said: "That's right, it's not to blame the father-in-law, if you want to blame it, it's really too insidious and cunning to blame these people from the Four Elephants Organization." ”
Lin Feng listened to the comfort of the two closest people, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, although I will self-analyze my mistakes, I will not be slumped and unable to get out of it because of this." ”
Sun Fujia saw that Lin Feng's smile was natural, and there was no reluctance, he was relieved in his heart, he knew how proud Lin Feng was, and he also knew that proud people were the most vulnerable to blows and collapsed, but fortunately, Lin Feng was open-minded and would not go to such extremes.
He looked back at the street, his face gloomy; "It's useless to think about how these people came to be...... What we should really do is how to reverse the situation, how to save the Du family, if Du Cheng and them are really wiped out, it will be really troublesome. ”
"The power we can use in Shenshan County, that's all, the Du family is the strongest one, once the Du family is gone, the rest is more than 200 people from An Shen and Yamen, but these people will never be the opponents of the Four Elephants Organization."
Zhao Xieyang also nodded heavily: "That's right, we must save them." ”
Zhao Fifteen's face was heavy: "But how can I save it?" The only people we can use now are the people of Anshen and Yamen, but the people of Anshen are blocking the reinforcements of the Sixiang Organization, their numbers are already weak, and it is not easy to stop those reinforcements, and if you want them to rescue Du Cheng and them, they can't do it at all. ”
And the people of the yamen ...... There are less than 100 of them, and they are still far away at the city gate, it will take a lot of time to transfer them over, and the Four Elephants Organization will not give us this time at all, let alone the strength of 100 people, which is still completely insufficient here. ”
Lin Feng listened to Zhao Fifteen's analysis and couldn't help but look at Zhao Fifteen in surprise.
Seeing this, Zhao Shifteen's face turned red, and he couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, did I analyze it wrong?" ”
Lin Feng shook his head, and just smiled: "There is no problem, the people of Anshen and Yamen can't save the Du family at all...... I was just surprised that you would be so thorough. ”
Zhao Shifu scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Tonight's battle reminds me of some things I encountered on the battlefield in the past, there are many similarities in this, plus I have been following my father-in-law and being exposed to my father-in-law, even if it is a piece of wood, it should be enlightened......"
Lin Feng smiled, his eyes full of relief: "Fifteen, you are impressing me more and more." ”
Zhao Shifu was praised by Lin Feng, and he should have been excited, but the predicament in front of him really made him unhappy.
He sighed: "It's a pity that the child can only do this, but he can't think of any way to break the game......"
Sun Fujia's face was also heavy: "The last hole card hidden by the Four Elephants Organization caught us off guard...... If we had known that they had these people, no, even if we had known earlier, we wouldn't have had a chance of winning. ”
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "In just one day, you have used the people you can use to the extreme, but the strength of the Four Elephants Organization has exceeded the limit of what we can deal with, and it makes no difference whether you know it or not." ”
Lin Feng smiled: "There is still a difference...... At least I know it's invincible, and we can just walk away. ”
"Zide, why are you still joking......" Sun Fujia frowned.
Zhao Fifteen and Zhao Xieyang, the anxiety in their hearts is not much less than Du Cheng.
After all, once something happens to the Du family, they will definitely be the next to face the crisis, and it is impossible for them to resist the enemy.
With the help of the skyrocketing firelight, Lin Feng looked at the people around him, looked at their sad expressions, and looked at their anxious and lamenting appearances, Lin Feng suddenly spoke: "Do you know why I am reluctant to let the officials guarding the city gate come to support when I know that there are not enough people? ”
Zhao Xieyang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't Lin Sizheng say that only if they guard the city gate, you can feel at ease?" ”
"Then why do they guard the gates so that I can feel at ease?" Lin Feng continued to ask.
"This ......" Zhao Xieyang was stunned, he shook his head: "The lower officials don't know." ”
Lin Feng smiled, he looked at Sun Fujia, and said, "Sun Langzhong, do you remember what I said to you during the day?" ”
Sun Fujia frowned: "What words?" ”
Lin Feng said slowly: "I said, I am not a person who likes to be beaten passively, I am a very small person, and I will take revenge if I have a grudge." ”
Sun Fujia thought about it for a moment, then raised his head sharply, and said, "Yes, you did say it...... At that time, I thought you already had a way to deal with these people who were chasing you. ”
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Sure enough, Sun Langzhong, who knows me, is also ...... Yes, I do have a way to deal with it. ”
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng's still calm appearance, his heart couldn't help but move, he couldn't help but say, "Could it be ...... The method you used tonight was not the method you said you were talking about? ”
With a snap, Lin Feng snapped his fingers.
He smiled and said, "That's right! ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly fell on Lin Feng.
Their faces couldn't hide their surprise and joy, and Zhao Shifu couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, do you still have a way to deal with them?" ”
Zhao Xieyang and Sun Fujia also looked at Lin Feng directly.
Lin Feng met their excited and expectant gazes and said slowly, "Regarding tonight's incident, there is actually one thing that I haven't told you. ”
"What's the matter?" Zhao Fifteen hurriedly asked.
Lin Feng said slowly: "I used the merchant power of the Western Regions to fight against the Four Elephant Organization, I let the Du family have to help, and I asked An Shen to block the reinforcements of the Four Elephant Organization...... The purpose of all these means is not to solve these people who are chasing me, their existence has only one purpose. ”
Everyone couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, even holding their breath, looking at Lin Feng nervously, and then they heard Lin Feng love in a deep voice: "That's - delay time." ”
"Stall!?"
Everyone was stunned, and their brains were directly confused.
Lin Feng used the power of the merchants of the Western Regions to compete with the Four Elephants Organization Sandpiper Mussels with a brilliant means, this was to delay time?
Lin Feng deduced the identity of the Du family, so that the Du family had to go all out to deal with the Four Elephants Organization, also to delay time?
Lin Feng saw through An Shen's identity and asked him to secretly block the reinforcements, or delay time?
What exactly is he going to do, to stall for time with these clever moves that they can't imagine?
"And ......"
Lin Feng looked at everyone and continued: "The reason why I didn't let the officials guarding the city gate make a move, regardless of the fact that both sides of the inn were out of their brains, was to keep the city gate under my control, and I controlled the city gate for one thing......"
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Fifteen hurriedly asked.
Sun Fujia's eyes suddenly flashed at this moment, combined with all the things Lin Feng had done, he seemed to have guessed Lin Feng's purpose.
And this made his beard stand up with excitement.
Lin Feng glanced at Sun Fujia, and seeing Sun Fujia's expression, he knew that Sun Fujia had already guessed his purpose.
He smiled and said slowly, "At the moment when I need the city gates to open...... It turns on instantly! ”
"The gates are open?" Zhao Xieyang was at a loss, he still didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
Lin Feng shook his head, no longer sold Guanzi, and said directly: "After all...... Only when the gates are opened, can people from outside the city enter......"
"People outside the city!?"
Zhao Fifteen repeated, and suddenly, he raised his head sharply and hurriedly said, "Could it be ...... Father-in-law, do we also have reinforcements? Not reinforcements from Shenshan County? ”
Not reinforcements from Shenshan County?
Zhao Xieyang finally realized something, and hurriedly looked at Lin Feng excitedly.
Seeing that everyone finally understood what they meant, Lin Feng nodded with a smile, and he said slowly: "In fact, on the day we set off from Linshui County, I arranged for people to secretly go to ask for help day and night...... I knew that the Four Elephants Organization was going to intercept me, and I knew how dangerous it would be along the way, so how could I do nothing but run for my life? ”
"Therefore, before we set off, I had already figured out how to kill these pursuers, but it takes time to ask for help, and it takes time for the people who come to support me, and what I have to do is how to find a way to get through this time safely."
"And now...... I have used all my means to complete this period of perseverance. ”
As Lin Feng's words fell, suddenly, a sound of horses' hooves like thunder came abruptly, directly breaking the silence of the night.
Everyone heard this and subconsciously followed the sound.
I saw dust rise from the sky.
Countless iron horsemen came like a torrent of steel stepping on the pale moonlight......
