Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 73 The fierce battle of the wolves has its own damage, and the siege is difficult to break for a long time
Xiao Yi's chain chain was thrown out and stabbed into the head of a wolf, but he tried to pull it out but was tightly bitten by another wolf. Look at this wolf, with white mane, sharp teeth, sharp eyes, and fierce and abnormal, it is the wolf! Xiao Yi couldn't move away, and with all his strength, he only fought with the wolf. At this time, the other wolves also rushed from all directions, all of them were desperately stance, Xiao Yi had to give up the chain and resist with a long stick, although the stick was fierce, the lethality was a little less. Although several wolves were injured under the sharp blade, the momentum was still unabated, and they smashed into several people, and the formation suddenly became chaotic. Xiao Yi thought badly, this wolf didn't want to die, and it was even more difficult to deal with, and the sky was about to get dark, and he couldn't see the movements of the wolves clearly. Xiao Yi was anxious, and another wolf was knocked out by the stick, only a muffled sound was heard, and there was no other movement.
Tong Lu Baiqing reacted very quickly, and quickly moved to Xiao Yi's side, but Xiao Shazi and the girl leaning behind him were much slower. The wolf kept coming forward, and no matter how strong Xiao Yi was, it was difficult to deal with these many vicious wolves at the same time. Caught off guard, Xiao Shazi and the girl were pounced out by a vicious wolf, biting their clothes and dragging them to a place where Xiao Yi's black stick could not reach, this time the force was unimaginable. The girl hugged Xiaoshazi tightly, but pressed him under her. Xiao Yi's stick had already touched the wolf, but it didn't do much to it. This wolf is the white-haired wolf, its two front legs pressed the little sand and the girl to the ground, but its eyes are still staring at Xiao Yi viciously, it is crying lowly, saliva keeps dripping onto the girl's face.
Xiao Yi wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the wolves. The little sand was pressed under the girl, and coupled with the huge weight of the wolf, he struggled to lift up, but he couldn't move at all. He used his hands and feet together, trying to break free from the side, but it was also very difficult. The white-haired wolf lowered his head and licked the girl with his tongue. Xiao Yi knew that it was provoking himself, and he didn't care so much, Tong Lu Baiqing and him also had the same heart, and ran towards that side at the same time. The girl was licked by the wolf, and she had already fainted with fright, and the little sand couldn't use her strength, so she wanted to cry. Xiao Yi can only do his best, if the white-haired wolf takes a mouth, the girl will die immediately.
At this moment, a series of iron strikes came from not far away, and Xiao Yi was overjoyed, it should be someone from this village who helped, and there seemed to be many villagers. This wolf is most afraid of the sound of iron weapons, and the attack is not as strong and orderly as before, and it is a little chaotic. The white-haired wolf's eyes were even more fierce, and when the little stick arrived, it quickly dodged sideways and disappeared into the darkness. As if ordered by the wolves, they all slowly dispersed. Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and came to the sand, but he couldn't open his mouth anymore.
Xiaosha turned over and said happily,
"The girl is okay! The girl is okay!
Only then did he realize that the girl had her head down and could no longer lift it. When the night came, I felt that the slime slowly spread, and the slate was blackened. Xiaosha hugged the girl, and her hands were covered with liquid. It turned out that the white-haired wolf was already very angry, and seeing that the other party had a helper, he made a ruthless move, and after a bite, he bit off the back of the girl's neck, the wolf's mouth was huge, and the blood gushed out, and most of the blood was sucked into the mouth of the head wolf, and the girl was in a coma and died in an instant. In the night, even Xiao Yi couldn't see the wolf's movements clearly, and the three of them couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they turned their heads and looked at the direction where the sound of iron tools came.
Xiaosha couldn't cry silently, and hugged the girl's body tightly, although the girl died a tragic death, she didn't suffer too much. Xiao Yi felt that he was also responsible, and he felt uncomfortable, he thought that if he insisted on returning the same way, maybe the girl would not die. Bai Qing grabbed the crook of his arm tightly, leaned his left face on his shoulder and sobbed softly. Tong Lu also bit his lip tightly, extremely uncomfortable.
"Are the wolves gone?" asked someone in front of you.
Xiao Yi knew that it was the nearby villagers who had just helped, so he replied,
"The five of us passed by here, but we were trapped by wolves, thank you for your help. ”
At this time, it was already dark, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to make a fire fold, and just pulled out a little, a woman shouted softly,
"Don't use fire, don't use fire!"
Xiao Yi didn't know why, but he had to listen to her.
"Come with me, this is not the place to talk. By the way, nothing happened just now!"
Xiao Yi wanted to speak and stopped, and the woman had already guessed that something unfortunate had happened.
"Oh, this wolf, it's so vicious. But when people are evil, they are really better than wolves! Don't talk about it, let's go quickly!"
"Little sand, let's ......"
Xiaosha wiped her tears and her face was covered in blood. He picked up the girl with great difficulty, stood up, and hissed,
"I'm going to slaughter all these wolves!"
Xiao Yi saw that he was also injured, and came over to take the girl's body, but Xiao Shazi hugged her very tightly, so he stopped forcing it.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
The woman was urging again, and a few people followed her.
After walking for a short time, they came to the water's edge, where many fishing boats were parked, and Xiao Yi and a few people were arranged by the woman to a boat. Xiao Shazi hugged the girl and shrank in the corner, Xiao Yi's heart was sour, and Bai Qing's little hands were red, Bai Qing was in pain but gritted his teeth and endured it.
The boat traveled very fast, and in a short time it left the shore for dozens of feet. The woman came between the few people, and then she let go and said,
"You've killed so many wolves in one row!
Xiao Yi nodded and asked,
"Sister, why is there a wolf in this village? How did you end up here? Also, did you hide on the boat to hide from the wolf? Also, why don't you let the fire be lit, what's the point?"
The woman sighed,
"It's not that group of robbers and bandits! They robbed the whole village, and when there was nothing to rob, they burned it to death. The people in the village had no choice but to hide in the boat. These bandits don't make good use of boats, and we're safe on the water. The water in this pond is clear, and there are a lot of catches, so we can survive on this boat. There was no one in the village, and the wolf somehow kept wandering around the village, and many passers-by had already lost their lives. Hey, even this evil wolf has to bully people, and life is really unbearable. ”
The woman groped around the boat for a while, distributed some dried fish to a few people, and said,
"Now there are only some fish to eat, and when Lord Hong leads people to destroy this group of bandits, we can go back and live a peaceful life!
Xiao Yi asked,
"Can this Lord Hong still lead troops?"
The woman replied,
"Of course! Lord Hong is both civil and military! He is really a good official who works for the well-being of the people! Since he took office three years ago, our life has really been getting better and better, but this year, the weather is not good, the heavy rain has not stopped, and suddenly so many bandits have come, and I heard that all the places in this vicinity have been robbed. ”
The woman took a hand towel, dipped it in water and handed it to everyone to scrub. Xiao Yi washed his face and asked,
"Sister, when did this bandit come? Why haven't any officers and soldiers come to kill the bandit?"
The woman thought for a moment, and then said,
"It's been more than half a month! Some villagers have gone to the government to report the news, but there is no reply, I am afraid that that side is also occupied by thieves!"
Xiao Yi nodded, and said,
"This Jianchang Mansion has always been peaceful, and the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, why are there so many thieves all of a sudden?
The woman pondered for a moment, and then said,
"I heard that these people live in remote valleys, and they used to be self-sufficient, and although their lives are hard, they can still live. Unexpectedly, this flood came, and a flash flood broke out, and many people died. The livestock and real estate are gone, how can they live! Some powerful people organized together, went down the mountain to rob, and the harvest was quite rich. After that, the team got stronger and stronger. At the beginning, they were still avoiding the officers and soldiers, but when they encountered them, they retreated to the mountains and took advantage of the location, but the officers and soldiers had no choice but to do it. Later, the team became stronger and stronger, and it did not have the slightest advantage in the head-to-head confrontation with the officers and soldiers. ”
Xiao Yi nodded and said,
"We came from there, and we didn't even know anything about such a big thing. I'm afraid that these many entry and exit checkpoints have been guarded by these thieves! The news can't get out, the rescue troops can't be moved, the other side is powerful, and it can advance and retreat, and it's really hard to deal with. ”
The woman asked,
"Then where did you come from, and how can you avoid the eyes and ears of this bandit!"
Xiao Yi replied,
"It's all the boy's work! We took an unusual mountain road, perhaps near dark, so that the thieves did not find out. ”
The woman wet the water with a handkerchief and handed it to Bai Qing, looked up at that Yue'er, and said firmly,
"No matter what, I always believe that Lord Hong can have a way to repel these villains!
The woman slapped her head and shouted,
"Oh, Lord Hong may be in danger! Let's go and save him!"
Xiao Yi thought to himself, this woman loves Lord Hong very much, he nodded and asked,
"Let's rush over there first, see what the situation is over there! Anyway, I've been bothered for a long time, and I don't know what to call my sister, it's really ......."
The woman was a little nervous, and when she heard Xiao Yi ask, she replied softly,
"Autumn lotus, autumn lotus! Hey, this name is not good, the autumn lotus flowers are all gone!"
A faint voice came,
"Sister He, is that you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and looked at the small sand,
"You are?"
"I'm Little Sand!"
The woman exclaimed, came closer, and took advantage of the moonlight to take a closer look at the little sand, and the girl in his arms who was as quiet as water. She stroked Xiaoshazi's forehead with her hand, sighed and said,
"Poor little sand! Is this what you call the three girls! Hey, what a world! How can you be so cruel!"
Little Sand's tears gushed out and she began to cry. Qiu He comforted softly, and after a long time, the boat quieted down.
Xiao Yi turned sideways and asked about Qiu He,
"Sister, I know how to go to that mansion, let's hurry up now, a little more time, we have a better chance of winning!"
Qiu He slapped his thigh and shouted,
"Yes, yes, let's hurry over! From this waterway, the waters of this Qiongchi are extremely wide, and it is impossible for the bandits to defend every place!"
Xiao Yi thought for a moment, came to Xiao Shazi's side, held his shoulder with one hand, and said,
"Little sand! Now is not the time to be sad! There are still so many people who need you to save! What you have to do is not to hold her body and cry, but to cheer up and be her hero!"
Xiao Shazi looked up at Xiao B, a little confused, and continued to listen to Xiao B.
"We are in the midst of bandits now, and the worst thing is that there is no backup. You are the only reliable person who is familiar with this terrain! We need to get the news out now, and we can't wait for a moment! Go deep behind enemy lines and wait for an opportunity to leave it to me, but this matter of sending the message ......."
Little sand interrupts Little B,
"Brother Xiaoyi, I know!"
He gently let go of the girl's body, laid her flat on the corner of the boat, and gently swiped his fingertips across the girl's pale little face.
"Sister He, send me ashore, I'll go deliver the letter! Help me, help me take care of her! Wait for me to come back, again, ...... again"
Qiu He nodded and said,
"Don't worry, give her to me. By the way, I'll find some clever boys to go with you!
Xiao Shazi nodded in agreement, and listened to Xiao Yi again,
"If the road is not good to enter and exit the Huichuan Mansion, then take the opportunity to go to the tavern on the edge of the Golden River, and from that side, you can also divide the army into two roads, which is safer. If you can get to Nalishui Town, the news will not spread too slowly. And if you really get to Lishui Town, after passing the news, go to Xiao's house by the way, talk to the second lady, and then bring the medicine box and iron pot a little! No matter what, you must be careful!"
"Iron pot?"
Xiao Yi pouted at Tong Lu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, and Xiao Shazi touched his head, as if he understood or not.
The boat reached the shore in a moment, and Qiu He found a few men to come over, with a sturdy body and a shrewd person. Qiu He packed food weapons for a few people early, and gave a few more instructions, which allowed a few people to go on the road.
Several people quickly disappeared into the moonlight and were never seen again.
"Xiao Yi, will this wolf not go far yet?
"It's dangerous, but it can only be passed at night, and you have to take some risks anyway. This wolf is very fine, and he has suffered before, so he must have taken a rest first. What's more, these brothers are not vegetarians, I believe they can do it! Sister He, let's hurry up and go over!"
Qiu He nodded hurriedly, and as soon as the pole was propped up, the boat went off the shore. Xiao Yi and Qiu He rowed together, the speed of the boat was also extremely fast and steady, and in less than an hour they crossed the Qiongchi Pond, and at the other end, they found a secluded place to go ashore. The boat, on the other hand, was pulled into the reeds, but it was not easy to be discovered. The guy stayed behind, guarded the boat, and happened to take care of the deceased girl. Qiu He's interest was very high, she was familiar with the terrain here, and Xiao Yi asked her to lead the way.
It was the deepest time of the night, but several people did not feel sleepy, seeing that there was an open flame flickering not far away, Xiao Yi stepped forward to investigate, although those who did not look like martial arts, but everyone did not leave their swords, and their faces showed joy, it should be that the thief was on guard. There are more than one such garrisons, and they are not far apart, and they can take care of each other. A few people were cautious and walked around the road, and each of them had some cuts on their legs, but at this moment, they would not consider this small pain.
When they arrived at the city of Jianchang, there were more bandits, and several people did not dare to step forward, so they had to find a hidden place to hide. After a short time, the voices of people gradually began to rise, and the sky began to turn white, and everyone could barely see the formation ahead.
I saw that the gate of Jianchang Mansion was closed, and some figures were faintly flickering above the city, all of them were fully armed and ready for battle. As an important town in the north of Dali, the city wall is also extremely strong. Looking at the movements of these soldiers, they were not frightened by this siege formation. Presumably, it has not been a day or two to defend this city, and the big guys have been tested for a long time and are familiar with the essentials of defending the city. There is a defense system, there are soldiers and generals, and it is easy to defend this city, but seeing the number of soldiers at the head of the city, if you want to open the door to meet the enemy and win the battle, it is absolutely impossible.
Looking at the besieging side again, there are many people, and the formation is also arranged, a hundred steps away from the head of the city, just out of the killing range of the arrows at the head of the city. These people are all lean, although they don't have that majestic momentum, they are also a little ruthless when they look at that face, and they are not the characters who are easy to mess with.
Xiao Yi looked into the distance, and this group of bandits relied on the large number of people, and they actually surrounded the city. Xiao Yi thought to himself, this leader is afraid that he can't sit still, as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, if this news wants to be blocked all the time, it must be impossible, the Duan family has ruled this Dali country for decades, and it is also very means, if you send troops to come, I am afraid that you will also suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, it is better to quickly capture the city, loot all the places in the city, and make a lot of money, and then if there are soldiers to attack, hide in the deep mountains, or occupy the city, and talk to the Duan clan. Xiao Yi leaned down and said softly,
"Let's take advantage of the fact that the day is not full light, walk around the city, see if there is a chance to enter the city, understand the situation in the city, and then make the next plan. ”
Xiao Yi got up slowly, and the three of them followed him, quietly retreated, and walked around the city.
By the time the sky was bright, several people had already come to the pine forest outside the north gate of Jianchang. At this time, looking at the ancient city of Jianchang, it is another scene. However, at this time, the situation inside and outside the city is tense, and it is true that there is no such thing as appreciating the past and the present.
"Look, that's Lord Hong!" Qiu He blurted out, and the bandit who was peeing not far away looked up for a while, but didn't notice any movement, and then leisurely fastened his pants and turned back.
Several people broke out in a cold sweat, and if they attracted enemies, they were afraid that it would be difficult to get out. Xiao Yi looked at the city wall, a person wearing plain armor, but it was still not difficult to see the scholar's spirit. The armor is wide, but it shows that the body is even thinner. Xiao Yi saw that he was about forty years old, and occasionally soldiers came forward to report to him, which was a little different.
"Although this Lord Hong is not a military general, he has also arranged this city defense in a good way, and he is a powerful person!" Xiao Yi nodded and praised the city.
Qiu He smiled, looked over there and nodded constantly, after what she said just now, she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
After a while, hundreds of people gathered at the north gate, all of them were fierce and brave, and compared with ordinary bandits, they were really much stronger. As you can guess, these should be the main force in this group of bandits. The crowd outside the city was agitated, and it took a long time to regain calm. There were so many people that I couldn't see what was going on in front of me. After hearing only a few calls, the city and the city had a conversation, and a wooden pillar was erected under the city. Xiao Yi and the others moved their positions, so they could barely see clearly. A woman was brought up and tied to a pillar, and at the other end of the rope was a little boy, about ten years old, who must have been bluffed, and sat on the ground unable to move, so that he could not even cry.
"The surname is Hong, your mother-in-law and doll are here, I don't want them to die, hurry up and open the door and surrender, otherwise one by one, solve them first, and then cut down the city one by one!"
Everyone was shocked, it turned out that this was the mother and son, or the family members of Lord Hong, what was the matter. There was a sudden chaos above the city, Xiao Yi looked at Lord Hong from afar, he stared at the mother and son under the city tower motionlessly, his eyes were resolute, and he was not moved at all. When the soldiers saw him like this, they all slowly calmed down.
"The surname is Hong, hurry up, otherwise you will look good!"
Then there was silence, no one spoke, and the caller was embarrassed and turned back to the middle of the crowd. Xiao Yi thought that that that was where the leader was, but there were too many people, and it was impossible to go to the front and capture the thief and the king.
The man shouted back and forth several times, but the same reaction was still felt from above the city. Only one person in the crowd under the city could be heard shouting angrily, and then there was the sound of pots and bowls shattering, and a long knife with a black handle and white blade was raised high. The bandits became irritable and murderous. After a while, three children came out and came to the woman. The children all carry knives, and they are already very fierce at a young age. Looking at these children again, they are dark-skinned, the eldest is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest is only ten years old. and heard the man before crying,
"Hong Lao'er, give you one last chance, if you are disobedient, hum! Then wait to collect the body of your wife and baby!"
There was still no indication above the city, and the three children walked up and down in front of the pillars, angry. In the crowd, the long knife was quickly slashed down with a roar. When the eldest child saw this, he raised his knife and cut off the woman's left arm with a single sword. The crowd of people in the city cheered, and the momentum was extremely huge. In the city, everyone was indignant, eager to jump down and fight the thief to the death. Blood gushed out from the woman's severed arm, and after a shout, she lost the strength to scream.
When Xiao Yi and the others saw this situation, their hearts were also half cold. Xiao Yi looked around and said softly,
"These people are dressed similarly, I'll go get a few, let's change them, I'll slowly blend into the crowd, no matter what, I'll try my best to save the child, you stay here, if there's something, take advantage of the chaos to leave, these people are fierce and abnormal, it's better not to have a conflict." ”
The three of them were obedient and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yi was just about to get up, only to see the child lift the broken arm and keep waving, the crowd laughed and scolded, and everyone was very excited. The child roared, shook his arm in a semicircle, and forcefully pushed the severed arm towards the wall, and the severed arm flew to that side, landing two feet away from the wall.
