Chapter 125: Breaking through is difficult
Kong Rui knew that if this Demon Cultivator appeared, then the guards and soldiers around here would soon arrive, but he couldn't attack the ordinary soldiers, so he thought that he could only get out of danger by injuring this Demon Cultivator and handing it over to Lao Sun and the others as hostages, so he didn't kill the Demon Cultivator in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the opponent's short sword stabbed, Kong Rui's body shook, so he dodged, and kicked out with his left foot continuously, kicking all the legs and kneecaps of the demon cultivator, and the demon cultivator's body weakened, fell to the ground, and fainted directly in pain.
Kong Rui stepped forward again, crushed the elbow joint of his left arm, and collected the storage bag on his body by the way, only then raised his right foot, kicked the demon cultivator in front of Lao Sun and them, and said, "Take him and prepare to break through!" After speaking, he flew onto the roof.
Lao Sun and the others were dumbfounded, and they didn't react until the demon cultivator rolled to his feet, and hurriedly said to Kong Rui: "Thank you for this hero's help!" He also knew that it would be easier to break through with the hostages, so he made a gesture on the spot, only to see two people rushing out from behind him, stepped forward to pick up the weapon of the demon cultivator, lifted the body of the demon cultivator, and followed Lao Sun to the gate of the west city.
Before everyone had run far, there was a big alarm behind them, and many of the ritious soldiers and the traitorous soldiers had already caught up.
"Hurry up and release the signal!" Lao Sun hurriedly ordered.
As the order was given, a small red fireball shot straight into the sky and burst high in the sky, which was obviously the signal they had agreed upon.
Sure enough, as soon as I saw the signal rise into the air, gongs sounded everywhere in the county, and people everywhere were shouting: "Go to the water, go to the water!" and also saw the fire in all directions, as if there were fires everywhere.
The people in the city, who did not know what to do, also got up one after another, picked up their basins and buckets, and prepared to put out the fire; they heard the sound of cannons at the gate of the eastern city, as if a large number of troops were coming to attack; the traitorous soldiers in the city were also in disorder, and many soldiers rushed to the east of the city under the orders of the officers.
Kong Rui watched the excitement in mid-air, thinking that this old grandson did have some ability, if it weren't for this demon cultivator, all his arrangements would be almost leakless, it would depend on how he finally got out of the city.
However, the officers of the Naqi army stationed in the county seat were also capable of conscription. When he found that the city was in chaos, he did not bother to contact the traitorous soldiers, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the county office, the barracks, and the city gates, and ordered the soldiers: "Send out a patrol and order the people who came out to fight the fire to return to their homes, and those who violate the law will be killed!
It turned out that this officer also knew some art of war, and knew that there were no major armed forces in the area of the Great Yan Kingdom that could have the ability to attack the county seat, and it should be a suspicious plan to set fire to the city, and he only needed to stick to the city gate and expel the people home to find out those who made trouble.
How could the people who had set fire to the city go directly to the houses of the common people? They just found some firewood and grass and lit them to make a gesture, and soon the fire went down by itself; when the people in the city saw that the fire was weakened, and asked everyone to go back to their homes, they had no choice but to do so, and one by one they packed up their own guys and went to their homes.
Lao Cheng and Xiao Wu, who were left in the prison at the base of the northwest corner of the city wall, heard the chaos in the city, so they quickly opened the cell and released the 200 or so people who were imprisoned inside.
Seeing Lao Sun and the others, Lao Cheng and Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward, and when they saw Lao Li's tragic situation, they were all filled with indignation. But now was not the time to speak, so they hurried together to the gate of the city.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, they realized that something was wrong.
It turned out that the officer of the Monkey Army knew that there were suspicious soldiers at the east gate, so he had already guessed that the troublemakers should come to the west gate, so he sent an order to guard the city gate, and at the same time led a team of soldiers to the west gate, just blocking Lao Sun and others in the west gate.
Lao Sun looked at his side, although there were more than 200 people, only a dozen or so people he brought with him had weapons in their hands, and they were all standing together; the people who had just been released from the prison also killed some prison guards and seized some weapons, but they were gathered in groups in twos and threes, and did not stand with the people he had brought; the others were all bare-handed, and I don't know if those who had just been released from the dungeon were also willing to rush out with them.
Lao Sun and his subordinates knew very well that being surrounded by the enemy this time would definitely be more auspicious and less auspicious, and if they didn't get it, they might be wiped out; and seeing that it was the soldiers who were blocking him, Lao Sun also thought that the suspicious soldiers inside and outside the city should not be of much help, so he could only see if this hostage could play some role, so he immediately restrained everyone from moving, and made a gesture for the two people to put the demon cultivator out, and the demon cultivator had already woken up, but his limbs were broken, and he had no ability to make a move, because he kept cursing, and his mouth was also stuffed with a rag, and he only made a whining soundγ
"This man has fallen into our hands, if you open the city gate and let us out, I can naturally guarantee his life, otherwise it will be a big deal for everyone to fight to the death!" Lao Sun shouted at the fierce officer.
When the officer saw that the demon cultivator was actually captured alive by the other party, he was also very worried and hesitant in his heart, but he was not thinking about how to save his companion, but thinking about how this demon cultivator could be injured and captured alive by the other party;
But this officer was also a cunning man, and soon saw that the other party did not look like a master, so he thought of how to test the other party, and said: "Okay, I can promise to let you out of the city, but you must send three men to fight us." If you win, you can get out of town, and if you lose, hmph, don't even think about going!"
Kong Rui heard the sinister officer say this in mid-air, and he also knew that this person was cunning and unusual, and he was quite scheming, and he also wanted to see how Lao Sun could deal with it.
"Do you really care about his life?" As soon as they heard the enemy say this, Lao Sun and the others also knew that the opponent was jealous, but they were only afraid of the hero who had just saved him, and they didn't have the ability to make the opponent afraid, so they immediately pointed at the demon cultivator and shouted.
"What's the use of him alive if he can be captured alive by you, and why should we care about him?" said the officer with a sneer.
All the people of the Great Yan Kingdom were chilled by the scheming people when they heard this, but thinking that these stingers were so inhumane to their own people, they had to sacrifice their lives for self-study.
At this time, of course, the people who came with Lao Sun were thinking about where the hero had gone just now, but Lao Sun thought that he couldn't always expect others to save him, and this hero must have his reason for not making a move, his martial arts here are the highest, maybe he can win a game, and immediately said: "You don't need to send three people, how about you and me have a competition?"
The officer also saw that Lao Sun's cultivation was not high, so he thought that if he could injure their leader, the rest of the people would be better handled, so he said with a cruel smile: "Okay!" Then he turned over and dismounted, ready to compete with Lao Sun.
Lao Sun knew that he might not be as good as his opponent, so he whispered to the others: "When I compete with him in a while, you will try your best to break through to other places, and if you can escape, one by one." β
I only heard Lao Li's weak voice say, "I hurt everyone." β
Lao Sun ignored him, and the rest of the people immediately interrupted him and said, "Lao Li, don't say that, everyone is brothers in life and death, it's a big deal to continue to be brothers down below." Lao Li was weak, so he had to sigh and stop talking.
