074, the desperate situation of the rogue (I)
Yunxi's death gave Beixi a great shock, and according to what he said before, he could indeed go. After the identity of that gang of rogues was revealed, there was no other choice but to kill people, otherwise returning to the city would be a dead end. The next battle is a decisive battle that everyone must fight desperately, and Nord Stream does not want to participate in it anymore.
Huwa glanced at the pan at the door, the dog had just gone out for a walk, and asked with a sigh: "I can fully understand Mr. Beixi's concerns." If you want to leave at this time, I have no reason to force you to stay, but do you think you can still go? Those rogues did not live on the other side of Baixi today, but lived in an empty house outside the wall. ”
After the Liukou retreated today, they did not return to the other side of the river to assemble. Since the villagers of Baixi Village did not pursue over the wall, they calmly moved to the vacant houses outside the wall. The purpose of this is obvious, that is, they don't want anyone in the village to have a chance to escape at night.
The circle of houses in Baixi Village near the wall has been demolished, but there are still many villagers' homes further away, which have now been occupied by rogues. Whoever walks out of the village will be immediately spotted and killed. The leader of the Rogue Bandits had apparently realized that their identities might have been revealed, and they would never leave them alive again, but to slaughter the village of Baixi.
If the rogues originally came for the treasures buried in the village, then even if they couldn't grab the treasures at this moment, they couldn't stop it, and if the news came back to the city, they would all be guilty of capital crimes, or even the crime of destroying the door. Nord Stream only wants to leave now, it's too late, Liukou has already made desperate arrangements, can he leave alone?
Nord Stream obviously understood what the tiger baby meant, and her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly in the dark. Huwa said: "You don't have to worry too much, it's not us who can't afford time, it's them, and it's they who must take the initiative to attack and launch a decisive battle." Nearly half of those rogues suffered casualties, and since we were able to defeat them twice by relying on the village, we could also win the last battle. ”
Nord Stream said in a trembling voice: "Little sir." You should know the difference between the elite military formation and ordinary villagers. Relying on the walled wall and the presence of masters to press the formation, Baixi Village can still hold it, but once we can't withstand it, the villagers will be defeated, and the change of victory and defeat will only be instantaneous. If you want to win, you must deal with me first. ”
Huwa comforted him again: "Of course I know the strength of the military formation, but they are also human beings, and they have been hungry for so long after fierce battles, even if they want to fight hard, how can they still have the original combat strength? But the strength was not really damaged. ”
Nord Stream was surprised: "They have been hungry for a long time?"
Huwa: "Of course, they didn't expect to spend so much time with Baixi Village, and it would be good to be able to bring a meal of dry food with them." And around the village, can you find food to feed so many people?"
Huwa was right, those rogues were really hungry all day. Every spring, summer, autumn and winter, the city will send a team of troops to routinely inspect the roads connecting the villages throughout the territory, which is a symbol of protecting the territory and the people. This year's routine patrol after the beginning of winter, it happened to be the turn of the first team led by the Agricultural Energy Institute to be responsible, and the sacking of Baixi Village was a matter that had been planned for a long time.
The army went to a place where no one was on the way to the routine tour. Suddenly entered the wilderness and changed his outfit, interspersed near Baixi Village, intending to return quickly after the surprise attack was successful, and then recover his face and continue to patrol the city. No one can find the flaw. The time for action in their planning was very short, and they didn't even bring long weapons and bows and arrows, so how could they carry a lot of dry food on their backs, and at most they only had one meal with them.
Villagers of Baixi Village. The grain stored by each family has long been moved to the wall, and the only food outside the village is the sweet potatoes grown on the western slopes. But the potatoes have been poached by the pig-headed people. Although there are many empty houses left by the villagers, there is no food to be found inside.
There are no large wild animals around Baixi Village, and they can't find too much prey if they want to hunt, and besides, they don't have bows and arrows, and it is very difficult for them to hunt with knives and shields.
The rogues could have withdrawn, but at the moment they had no way to retreat, so they could only stay outside the village and try to win the decisive battle in the shortest possible time. Because as long as they leave, they can't prevent Baixi Village from spreading the news, at least masters like Beixi and Huwa will soon be able to rush to other villages or cities to report the news.
When Huwa pointed out the situation of the Liukou, Beixi finally felt a lot more relieved, and he praised: "Little Mr. is clever, you knew that the Liukou did not bring enough dry food, so you let those pig-headed people dig up the yams outside the village, so that they can only go hungry." ”
Huwa smiled bitterly: "Earlier, I didn't know the identity of the rogue, how could I have thought of so much. Letting the Shanjiao people dig up the yams is just compensation from Baixi Village, so as to persuade them not to cooperate with the rogues to attack the village. And looking back now, thankfully it did!"
While the two were talking, snow suddenly fell in the courtyard outside the house. This is the first snow in this area since the beginning of winter this year, and it is actually very heavy, and the flying snow soon dyes the village and the mountains with a layer of white. This sudden heavy snowfall also forced the rogues into a desperate situation.
They had a house to live in, and they could make a fire in the house to keep out the cold, but they had nothing to eat, and it was impossible for them to evacuate, because the snow would clearly reveal their tracks. Beixi stood up and said: "The Liukou arrived before noon yesterday, if they only brought dry food for one meal, it is absolutely impossible to wait for long, and a decisive battle will be launched after dawn tomorrow at the latest, I will quickly inform Lingbao." ”
......
In the southeast corner of the village, in a large courtyard, there is a blazing fire with a skinned rabbit in a twig. But there was no one else in the house, only the two leaders of the Rogue Boss, the Boss and the Third Child.
The third child was injured yesterday, and his thigh was stabbed by Shi Yu's slasher, although the injury was not serious, but it was also a little inconvenient, so he did not participate in the raid at dawn today, and the second child who went with the boss lost his life.
I only heard the boss say: "There is no prey in this vicinity, the villagers have also transferred the grain, and the brothers have only caught a few rabbits and come back." You can't go hungry if you have a wound, and the decisive battle is imminent, so it's better to eat quickly. ”
The third shook his head and said, "My lord, you are the main force in the decisive battle, and you can't go hungry." There are no outsiders at the moment, and the mentality of the rogue has obviously changed, and he doesn't care if his identity is exposed, and the third child calls the boss "adult".
The boss waved his hand and said, "I am a cultivator of the Four Realms, and I can not eat in my cultivation." ”
Lao San: "Bigu is just a kind of cultivation, and it is not suitable for such a drastic fighting method consumption, you still need to eat...... It was supposed that the food should be given to the wounded, but the decisive battle was imminent, so the uninjured elites could only eat something first. ”
The boss was no longer wearing a mask at this time, and his face was Nong Neng, the captain of the first team of Feihong City's military formation, and he said with a gloomy face: "Now that we are in a desperate situation, we must slaughter Baixi Village. But even if there is not a single person left alive, how can you explain that there has been such a long delay and so many casualties on the way back after you go back?"
Even if they were able to kill people, they would not be able to explain it, and it was originally just a symbolic inspection of the city every season, and such an elite military formation could not have suffered such casualties unless it encountered a fierce battle with an extremely powerful enemy. The first two crimes of this gang of rogues went well, and the second time they encountered some trouble, there were no casualties, but this time they couldn't hide it anyway.
The third child said: "Today's plan, the brothers have only one way to live, which is to blame those pig-headed people, and announce to the outside world that the demon clan colluded to shed blood to wash Baixi Village, which happened to be discovered by us during the routine tour and started a fierce battle. At that time, even if those pig-headed people want to explain, they can't explain clearly, and the city lord will only believe in us, not the demon clan. ”
Nong Neng nodded and said: "This is indeed our only chance to live, and those demon clans also came to the village yesterday to attack and rob a lot of sweet potatoes, they can't get rid of it." I saw Nord Stream and Lingbao in the fierce battle, and as for our identity, they should have been able to guess who we were. But those pig-headed people can't be clear, they can only take the blame for the so-called rogues. ”
The third child frowned again and said: "Putting the matter on the head of the demon clan is the only option, but nearly half of our casualties in the two fierce battles are lost, and the brothers are also hungry." The villagers of Baixi Village have obviously been trained, and there are masters in charge, even if we fight with our lives to slaughter the entire village, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive a few of us ourselves. ”
Nong Neng: "Then what should we do? You have always had the best idea, is there any other way?"
The third gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, there is another way to try, which is to negotiate with Baixi Village." ”
Nong Neng was surprised: "Now that you are in a life-and-death situation, they are still willing to negotiate with us? And Baixi Village can't stay alive anymore, otherwise the news will spread, and the brothers will have no way to live." ”
The third child: "Why can't we talk about it? We can make it clear that we have been forced to the point where we must desperately slaughter the village, and if we do that, it will not be good for anyone." We can let Baixi Village go, but we must swear by the masters of the village and all the villagers to report to the city according to what we just said. As long as they do, they are guilty of the same crime, and it will be too late to change their words, and you and I have enough time to deal with it. ”
Nongneng: "In this way, we can be regarded as a great contribution to the city, and the brothers who were killed and injured can also be compensated." But can Baixi Village say yes?"
The third: "They don't agree, we have to try." Although their current casualties are heavy, they have not damaged the foundation of the village, and if we are forced to fight to the death, it will be an unbearable price. As long as I can retreat and keep myself alive, there is no possibility of agreeing.
Moreover, negotiations can also play a role, that is, to discourage the fighting spirit of those villagers, and since they see a chance to live, who must go to the bottom of their lives? But there is only one consequence of doing so, that is, in the future, some people will not be strict in their morals and will leak the truth to the public. ”
Nong Neng muttered: "The future can only be said in the future, we have to pass the current level first, if Baixi Village agrees, even if some villagers change their words in the future, it is not enough to win the trust, after all, they said it first, how can they slander the military formation guarding the city?
