Chapter 212: Rainfall from the sky, and the gods rescue him
This fire, set up fiercely, raging, all over the mountains, is all Zhurong raging. Under the firelight, the temperature rises sharply, and the room is like a steamer. It's just that Tan Gao and Chen Sanlang gave a death order and were not allowed to strip their clothes. They have reason to believe that after the fire has passed, the thieves will come to check to see if they have burned the officers and soldiers to death.
When the time comes, it will be another tragic encounter. Shirtless, how to kill?
In the stone house, Tan Gao was sitting, and the muscles on his cheeks were jumping and jumping, showing how unsettled his mood was at the moment. Whenever there is a big event, as a soldier, you should be more calm. However, a series of encounters made the confident defender's heart full of frustration.
He led the crowd to suppress the bandits, in order to kill the thieves and rob the military merits, but he was deflated again and again, and if he was not careful, maybe the whole army would be wiped out and buried here.
Looking around, the room full of pro-soldiers saw frustration and pessimism on their faces, one by one dejected, and their expressions were gloomy.
The morale of the army has been defeated.
Tan Gao couldn't help but sigh for a long time, even if he could survive this trip, but the defeated army would return to Nanyang, and his career in this life would come to an abrupt end.
In another stone room, Chen Sanlang's face was also full of solemnity, and he was in the current danger, which was also something he didn't expect:
The thieves of this Black Wind Village are really extraordinary, not to mention their martial arts, they are also good at scheming, step by step, they have dug such a big pit early, and they are waiting for everyone to jump.
Frowning his eyebrows, he carefully combed his thoughts, but did not show panic. Officers and soldiers were previously ordered to clear the firebreak. The distance is so wide that the fire should not be able to burn. The thieves kept the stockade as bait, but they also left a glimmer of life. So. As long as the fire does not burn the stockade, they can save their lives.
But this is only temporary, and who knows if the thieves will be ambushed outside?
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap that exploded in the air, puffing up the eardrums.
Chen Sanlang Huo Ran stood up and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
For thunder, in fact, he has no good feelings. The thunder in Chang'an. Almost didn't kill him. Every time there is thunder, it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
But now. This thunder is like a gong and drum of the annunciation, inspiring.
"It's thunder!"
Tan Gao almost jumped to his feet, about to cheer. It's thundering, and it's going to rain. Rainfall from the sky, extinguishing the fire can be expected, it is simply life-saving.
In an instant, he almost burst into tears: there is no endless road, God can't see it, so it will rain to extinguish the arrogant flames of thieves......
In fact, from the perspective of the season, it is the rainy season, which is the right time. Not surprising either.
But Tan Gao obviously doesn't see it that way, the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, such a critical moment. When it rained, it was obviously the credit of God, and it was rescued by the gods.
Sure enough, thunder rolled, dark clouds swept in, and it didn't take long for it to rain heavily.
What a rain!
Hearty. Where the rain poured, the fire was immediately brought under control. Slowly, it will be extinguished little by little.
Crash!
Everyone couldn't help but rush out of the house, cheering and jumping in the rain, and venting the excitement of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
Chen Sanlang and others also came out, and Xu Jun took out an oil-paper umbrella from his bag and opened it to cover himself and Chen Sanlang.
As for the others, they threw themselves into the rain like officers and soldiers, and could not help but rejoice. Crab and are about to roll in the mud, Chen Sanlang looked at it, shook his head angrily, but didn't drink it: the nature of crabs is normal.
Feeling something, he jerked his head up, and glanced out of the edge space under the umbrella, and saw a huge shadow in the sky through the gap in the clouds, and the light on the shadow shimmered like scales.
This scene seemed familiar to Chen Sanlang, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered it: that day in Yueyang Tower, Nan Ke had a dream and was invited to a banquet by Long Jun. A large number of Jiao supported the boat, and met the dragon girl on the way, the sky weather, isn't it about the same?
Could it be that there is something else wrong with this rain?
In this case, it is really a "fairy" rescue......
It's just a scale and a half claw in the sky, and it quickly disappears, and it can't be found again.
Xu Jun asked, "San Lang, what are you staring at the sky?"
"Hehe, the rain fell from heaven and saved our lives, I wondered if it was providence. ”
Xu Jun pursed her lips and smiled: "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, it's very strange." ”
In her opinion, this season is rainy, and everyone is lucky to catch up.
Whoosh!
The dark shadows in the rain curtain are abundant, and the cold is pressing.
Thieves!
The thieves did not go away, and came much faster than expected. When they saw that a fire had been destroyed by a sudden rainstorm, they could not bear it anymore and rushed up to hunt for it.
In such a situation, it is still like a confrontation between soldiers and bandits, it is like two armies fighting, and they will not give up until the other side is destroyed.
Tan Gao was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly, asking the officers and soldiers to meet the battle. But soon, to his horror, he saw that there was a steady stream of black-clothed thieves pouring up the mountain, and there were only twenty or thirty men, as described in the intelligence, and at least a hundred.
What's going on?
Where did these people come from?
The numerical advantage was instantly eroded, and the situation immediately collapsed uncontrollably.
The officers and men who had just escaped from the fire were again mercilessly killed, and their morale was broken, and they could not organize any effective resistance at all, so they only cared about fleeing for their lives. However, the thieves were like a net, and when they saw one kill the other, it didn't take long for only a few dozen of the 300 officers and soldiers left.
Even the officials on Chen Sanlang's side had several who wanted to sneak away. I didn't want to slip away, so I slipped into the arms of death.
Seeing that all four retreats were blocked, the rest of the people had to retreat to the stockade again to do the final battle of the trapped beasts.
After a heavy rain, it came in a hurry, and it did not go slowly, and gradually the clouds dissipated and the raindrops stopped. The sky was clear, and at this time, Tan Gao could finally see the figure of the thief head-on.
There were forty or fifty people in front of him, all dressed in black and masked in black scarves. The leader, but his face is covered with a face mask.
In other directions, figures are fluttering, all waiting for the plane. Anyway, calculated together, there are definitely about 100 people on the other side. This is a very considerable number of people, coupled with the fact that everyone is agile and agile, and their martial arts are strong, and when condensed, this force is enough to capture a county town.
Tan Gao's face was full of bitterness: This crackdown on the bandits really hit the iron plate, according to the current situation, if you want to escape, you can't do it unless the gods rescue you.
"Childe, when the fight starts, I'll run away with you on my back!"
Crab He licked his lips, but he didn't panic much: if he couldn't fight, he would run, and he didn't believe that the other party could stop him.
Xu Jun's fingertips were swirling, and he was also ready to break through. With her and the protection of Crab He, Chen Sanlang can be brought out of the encirclement. As for the accompanying officials, they can only settle their own destiny.
Chen Sanlang smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. ”
"How?"
Chen Sanlang sighed: "If the guess is right, their purpose is just me." In that case, will they let us escape easily?"
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Jun and the others were surprised, but Tan Gao was puzzled: The thieves engaged in such a big battle, and they tried their best to kill Chen Sanlang?
No, it doesn't make sense, it's obvious that they are here to suppress the bandits. Why is it that when it comes to the end, it is not like that at all?
Chen Sanlang looked at Tan Gao, thought for a while, and said slowly: "For such a thing, of course, Commander Tan and these three hundred officers and soldiers must be kept in the dark. Otherwise, as long as the horse's feet are leaked at will, it may lead to the failure of the plan. ”
Tan Gao was still at a loss: "Master Chen, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Chen Sanlang didn't answer directly, and muttered: "In order to let me take the bait, I didn't hesitate to use three hundred officers and soldiers to accompany the funeral. ”
In this world, the population is not dense, and it can even be said to be scarce, and it is typically vast and sparsely populated. When there are fewer people, population is a resource. In particular, young and strong officers and men are a very important resource, and if they are damaged, it will be a great loss.
Tan Gao is not a stupid person, he thought of the ambition of Lord Assassin Shi, why Chen Sanlang was the county magistrate of Jing County, and thought of some irreconcilable contradictions and rumors between the two...... In fact, he didn't think about these things before he came, but he couldn't have imagined that the whole thing was a game anyway.
"Terrible, terrible......"
He still can't accept the fact that in order to get rid of a Chen Sanlang, Yuan Assassin Shi is so desperate and unscrupulous.
