Poor family mother and son

Chapter 31 I'm Not Defending Your Arrow
Brother Zhuizi is a member of the Operation Department of the Secret Investigation Department, and they are responsible for assassination and sabotage. Therefore, they are experts in light work, drug delivery, assassination, etc., and their movements are light and profitable.But fighting in close quarters and engaging in a war of attrition with so many soldiers, no matter in terms of height or weight, it is not capable of lasting combat.

Seeing that the rebels who rushed over were not far from the gate of the courtyard, the hidden weapons and crossbow arrows on the three of them were all used up.Brother Wood and Brother Almost were also injured.Now there is only hand-to-hand combat left.

Brother Zhuizi clenched the dagger tightly, clenched his teeth, and there was an obvious ridge on his cheek.Zhang Mingyu also put the knife he picked up in front of him, ready to fight to the death.

Hong Liang and the others were exhausted, and their bodies were exhausted from the hunger for days.The women couldn't run anymore, and blood splashed on their eyes and bodies from time to time, and some of the maids even fell over in fright, and only screamed "ahhh" when they sat on the ground.

Mrs. Zong Bing was pale and staggered.She was able to run with Chu Qing because of her husband supporting her lower back.

Seeing that there was no way out, Chu Qing tripped over the firewood under the window, and there it was!

"Set fire!" Chu Qing shouted.Then he picked up the firewood and threw it towards the gate of the yard, "Set fire to block the door and wait for rescue!" Chu Qing had already thrown another load of firewood towards the gate of the yard while shouting.

"No! Are you crazy!" Brother Zhuizi stopped angrily: "You want to set yourself on fire!" A desperate fight might be able to delay the arrival of reinforcements, but setting fire, isn't this the way out?
Hong Liang's eyes lit up, and he understood what Chu Qing meant.You just need to set the door on fire so that people can't rush in, and you can always hold on for a while, otherwise you can only rely on luck if you want to kill it.

"Do it!" Hong Liang ordered: "Set fire!" After saying that, he turned back to fill the firewood.

At this time Chu Qing had already rushed into the kitchen, where there was an oil tank.Pick up the ladle and scoop the oil into the vegetable sink, scoop out a basin of oil in twos and twos, and pour it on the firewood.Zhang Mingyu also rushed in. He remembered that there was a pile of chopped firewood against the wall in the kitchen, which was good for starting a fire.

Regardless of the knife wounds on their bodies, Brother Mumu and Brother Almost put down the two soldiers who rushed in at the door first.I can't breathe enough.

"Light up the fire!" Chu Qing yelled at them, and they were at the door, walking away from the firewood.Chu Qing poured another pot of oil on the firewood, Zhang Mingyu picked it up and threw it to the gate of the courtyard.The flames rushed up instantly!The kitchen courtyard door was filled with fire, and the door frame also burned.

Chu Qing quickly dragged his wife and a few maids into the kitchen, grabbed the steaming cloth that was drying in the kitchen and stuffed it into the hand of the big maid: "There is a water tank over there, you can keep it longer if you wet the cloth and cover your face. "

After speaking, he turned his head to take a look at the fire, but saw that Hong Liang was still carrying firewood to the gate of the courtyard, worried that the firewood would not be enough to burn.Chu Qing was in a hurry, from the kitchen to the gate of the yard, when the oil was poured, a lot of it was poured on the ground, if you lead the fire into the kitchen, you would really be playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!

There was more noise outside the courtyard, and a voice shouted: "Archers are ready!" It was Cao Wang who led the troops to find them.When he saw the soldiers rushing in from the front yard, he knew that with the number of these guards in the mansion, he would not be able to break out at all, so if he followed Hong Liang and took Hong Liang as a hostage, he might have a chance to escape.But when I ran over, I saw that the road was blocked by fire. Since I can't catch the hostages, I will kill you to back up!

Chu Qing dashed out, grabbed Hong Liang, and swung him towards the kitchen. Hong Liang was injured on his leg and couldn't stand still.

At this moment, a sharp arrow shot through the fire door with a "swoosh", and at the same time ordered "shoot the arrow!"

The point of the arrow pierced into the vicinity of the butterfly bone on Chu Qing's right back, where the club wound was still swollen, and this time it was more injury than injury!Chu Qing was hit by the sharp arrow and jumped forward, just right on Hong Liang's back, both of them fell into the kitchen!
A rain of arrows crossed the fire gate and fell into the yard, and Brother Mumu and Brother Almost took a few steps into the kitchen.

"Close the door!" Chu Qing gritted his teeth and said.Zhang Mingyu kicked the door shut, and rushed over to grab Chu Qing up.Yay bah!Can you take it easy!Chu Qing was in so much pain that beads of sweat came down with a "shua".The arrows rained non-stop, and the sound of "tuk-tuk" on the door and window frames didn't stop.

"My lady, thank you for shielding the old man from arrows. You will repay your life-saving grace in the future!" Hong Liang, the commander in chief, said as he climbed up from his side.

I'm really not blocking arrows for you, I didn't know I was shooting arrows outside!Chu Qing smiled wryly.

"Thank you!" Mrs. Zong Bing also saluted, and the maids behind her couldn't stand up straight, but the master was saluting, so they had no choice but to follow her.

Thank you fart, this is the time to chat!Let's talk when we can go out.Chu Qing really didn't want to talk to them.She's just upset now, what's the matter!Almost put my own life in it!
Arrows shot from the window into the kitchen.Everyone crowded towards the corner of the door.

"They are climbing over the wall!" A servant girl saw from the window that Cao Wang's rebels were climbing over the wall and preparing to enter the yard.This is the posture that Hong Liang must be killed.

As soon as the first batch of arrow rain stopped, the two maids tried to close the window, but when the second round of arrow rain arrived, the two maids fell down on the stove under the window with their half-body full of arrows.Blood poured down their bodies onto the kitchen floor.

There were screams and cries again.

"Shut up! Pour oil...out the window!" Chu Qing gasped, almost speechless from the pain.Beads of sweat fell into the corners of his eyes, and Chu Qing was so excited that he wanted to cry.

"Pile all the firewood you can see at the door and light it!"

"Push down the console and hide behind!" Chu Qing's voice trembled in pain, and he gritted his teeth and ordered everything he could think of and use.

"Persist for a while, and the reinforcements will arrive." Chu Qing explained.The situation is critical, and I am afraid that some people will object again.

Brother Zhuizi took a look at Chu Qing, then silently scooped out the oil and poured it out of the window.There happened to be a stack of basins next to brother almost and brother Mumu. When they grabbed them, they dipped into the oil tank, each with a basin, and poured oil in turn.

There was still a small part of the firewood under the wall outside the window, and my brother almost threw a fire pocket, and the flame climbed up the window frame in an instant.

There was not much firewood left in the kitchen, and they were piled up at the threshold, and Zhang Mingyu also lit a fire.In an instant, the entire door was on fire.

There was a large water tank between the stove and the door, and Mrs. Hong's personal maid had already handed out steaming cloths soaked in water to everyone.

Several people hid in the kitchen with their mouths and noses blocked, and got a moment to breathe.This is better than fighting with others.Brother Zhuizi thought so in his heart.Now he began to look at Chu Qing and Zhang Mingyu again.Especially Chu Qing, who doesn't look like an ignorant woman.

Soon, they heard the voice outside change.A large number of shouts of killing approached here, and there were constant shouts of "catch without arms" and "put down weapons".It was Song Tingshan and Ma Shen who came in.

The fire in the courtyard was reduced. Although the door frame was made of wood, the walls were made of bricks, and there was not too much firewood, so it was almost burnt out soon.

A group of soldiers rushed into the courtyard, followed by General Ma's shout: "Is Master Hong here? Ma Da!"

Emma, ​​what a name!Chu Qing fainted.
