Chapter 45: The Burning of Nanin Temple (Form 3)

The county magistrate of Beiguo County raised his head, looked at the brightly lit mountain and looked at it for a few breaths, his face sneered, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, and guided the Ren Temple, and drank: "Destroy this temple, everyone will be rewarded." ”

The county lieutenant of soapy clothes beside him also immediately shouted: "The person who has the first evil head in the temple will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan." ”

"100,000 yuan!!" Hearing this, the brave soldiers of the township, who were already quite tired, shouted one after another, and looked excited.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

Seeing that the morale was available, the Beiguo County Commander immediately whipped and shouted: "Go up the mountain and kill the thieves!"

"Thief !!"

I saw that the scene was slightly chaotic for a moment, hundreds of torches were lit, and several lines up the mountain were constantly poured up, one after another.

Yu Xiu rode on his horse, as if he had seen several fire dragons coiling over the mountain, and his voice was magnificent! However, he squinted his eyes slightly, and did not think that the government could attack the temple in one go.

When everyone came to the mountain, the walls of the temple had been reinforced, and things had been erected, and one by one the bald monks ran on the wall, holding knives and sticks in their hands.

After some unsuccessful negotiations, the government led the soldiers by the county lieutenant and rushed directly to the temple, wanting to break the gate directly with a drum and slash in to kill the evil monks.

But before they could reach the door, twenty or thirty monks armed with bows and arrows suddenly appeared on the wall, and even more than a dozen bows and crossbows.

Thirty or forty monks were condescending, and the arrows instantly shot towards the government like splashing water.

"Ah!" the scene screamed and was quite chaotic, and the government hurriedly suppressed it with archers.

Yu Xiu watched from the sidelines, and suddenly saw the white-faced monk come out, the other party was holding a big bow, with a sneer, and the five arrows took the lives of the five archers, so that the archers on the official side did not dare to show their heads again.

"Kill, kill!"

The county lieutenant led the people, but he was not discouraged, and still shouted: "Kill the thief for merit! Punish the evildoer, regardless of the official bandit, and reward 100,000 yuan!"

A shout sounded, and the villagers were forced, and they kept rushing forward, competing to climb the wall, but they were all hacked to death on the ladder.

The scene was quite tragic, and after only a few back and forth, the situation froze.

The government did not expect that there were still sharp weapons such as bows and crossbows and arrows hidden in Nanren Temple, and the situation was quite tricky all of a sudden.

A bowstring sounded, and the county commander in the official array suddenly turned pale, and he was stunned when he looked at a long arrow around the neck of the horse he sat down.

The tail of the arrow was still buzzing and fluttering.

"Protect your lord!" shouted quickly, and hurriedly grabbed the county order and dismounted, and retreated dozens of steps back to hide in the woods.

"Hahahaha! The surname is Sun, if a certain family doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone!" I saw the big boss of Nanren Temple standing on the gate of the temple, looking down at the soldiers in front of the temple, and laughing: "Next time, my second brother won't miss and shoot the horse's neck!"

Even the county order was "shot down" and dismounted, the official government was so decadent that many villagers even ran back with a scream, and they didn't dare to get to the door of the temple at all.

The pressure on the county lieutenant who led the team to fight in front increased greatly, and he had to give up the bullet and suppress the soldiers, and return to the county commander to greet him.

The high momentum of the government when it first arrived here has disappeared.

Faced with the scene of the loss of soldiers and heavy casualties, the county commander of Beiguo County also had a stiff face for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Although he is decisive and has a mind, after all, he is a literati from the imperial examination, and he has never even practiced martial arts.

The county order did not speak, and the atmosphere of the official government hidden in the forest became more solemn, and at the same time, the cries and curses of the wounded soldiers sounded from time to time, which greatly reduced morale.

Yu Xiu looked around and found that many of the rangers and Haoqiang disciples who had followed had disappeared. These people should have seen that the momentum was not good, and they were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they fled early.

However, some people still think that the scene in front of them is a good time, and they have stepped forward one after another, encouraging the government to attack again.

The county order was encouraged by the rangers and Haoqiang's children, coupled with the urging of the county lieutenant, and finally came back to his senses and gave the order again.

"Kill! Kill the thief!!"

A shout sounded, and all kinds of ambitions and desires intertwined in front of Nanin Temple, making it bloody.

The government side slaughtered twice in succession, and there was progress each time, and the last time it was even led by the county lieutenant to directly break the temple gate and attack it.

But the cheeked monk and the white-faced monk of Nanren Temple were very powerful, one fought with the county lieutenant, and the other shot the soldiers, and they blocked the gate.

When the monk's side reacted, and with concerted efforts, even the county lieutenant, who was a martial artist, was almost trapped in it.

By this time, more than half of the more than 200 officers and soldiers had been killed or wounded, and thirty or forty people had been killed on the spot. Although most of the deaths were unusable village warriors, the blow to the government was not insignificant.

In terms of Nanren Temple, the bows and crossbows and arrows were also exhausted, and everyone was sleepy. Among them, the white-faced monk fired more than 30 arrows in half an hour, and his fingers were already bleeding.

But in general, the situation is extremely unfavorable for the government.

The county magistrate of Beiguo County looked at the scene in front of him, and his mind was quite dizzy. From the ambition and high morale at the beginning, to the cold blood and cold heart at this time, it is just a short hour's effort.

He hid in the woods, staring at the bloody temple walls, stunned.

The faces of the villagers around were all frightened and frightened, and they were already afraid and did not dare to fight again. It's just that because the authority of the government is still there, the losses of the people who catch Kuai and others are relatively light, and they can temporarily suppress the scene, and these people dare not flee directly.

The county lieutenant who commanded the army was covered in blood, and his strength had been exhausted, and if he fell into danger again, it would be difficult for him to escape.

The county lieutenant also had a retreat in his heart, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he walked in front of the county magistrate of Beiguo County and whispered: "Mingfu! ”

"Now the three drums have been beaten......"

The history of this life and Yu Xiu's previous life are plausible, and there are many allusions in previous lives, and there are also allusions in this life. It's just that it's often remodeled, and it's not the same.

When the county commander heard the words of the county lieutenant, he opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. He looked around and saw that the people around him were all looking at each other, and the ranger who had been like a fighting before had already languished.

With a long sigh, the county commander was self-aware, and since his county lieutenant was already persuading him to retreat, he knew that most of the things had really fallen into defeat.

If the stalemate continues, the persecution is too great, and Nanren Temple may not be able to bear it, and directly pounce and chop him up as the county order.

At this time, the world was in turmoil, and powerful people were rising in various places, and there were no longer a few officials who died tragically in office. One more of him is not more, and one less of him is not less.

Otherwise, he would not have to endure it for two years.

"If you retreat, there is still a chance to be false and wronged......" Thinking of this, the county commander gritted his teeth.

"That's it......" he raised his hand unwillingly, and was about to order the retreat.

Suddenly, a chuckle sounded: "Lord Mingfu is unwilling?"

In the midst of suppressed horror, this laughter is particularly harsh and quite noticeable.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw a black-haired boy riding a thin horse, walking slowly.

"Xiaosheng has a plan to help the Ming Mansion suppress bandits. ”

Yu Xiu is far away......
