lady, please calm down

Chapter 157
28, at the end of the night.

Wu Tong, an infantryman of the Guangzi Battalion of the Shenrui Army, followed Yishi Paoze and searched southward for more than ten miles along the official road, but he couldn't find a single hair.

No matter how big or small the village is, it is empty.

Naturally, the task of finding food and grass was impossible to complete.

It wasn't until I entered a village called 'Xilin Village' that I saw a cluster of dim lights in the distance.

But after walking more than ten steps towards the light, the light suddenly disappeared.

"Wang Shichang, could it be that I met a ghost?" Wu Tong looked at the shadowy houses in the pitch-black village, his Adam's apple was throbbing, and he said shyly.

"There are no ghosts in this world!" Wang Shichang leaned against the wall, probing, and reprimanded in a low voice.

Li Luozi, an old soldier in his 40s, also said: "Ghosts scare people or Vice General Zheng? If we don't have enough food and grass tonight, we will have to eat military sticks when we go back. Last time."

'patta~'

In the silent night, the faint sound is clear enough.

I felt the sound was very close, but I didn't know where it came from.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other in doubt.

Due to the angle of view, Li Mule, who was standing behind Wang Shichang, saw a horrifying scene. He saw a brick fell out of the good-looking wall out of thin air.

Then, a gun tip quietly protruded from the dark wall hole. Under the dim starlight, the gun tip glowed with a faint cold light.

"king"

Li Mule, who was about to speak to remind him, only yelled out one word, and the tip of the gun suddenly came out, and went straight into Wang Shichang's rib.
"what!"

The shrill scream after eating the pain immediately broke the tranquility in the village.

The gun head hit the wall, and quickly retracted the gun back into the hole in the wall.
"There is someone inside the wall! Hurry up and catch him!" Wang Shichang yelled frantically, clutching his wound.

Several sergeants rushed to the house immediately, and Wu Tong hurriedly followed, but was gently pulled away by Li Mule beside him.

"Why are you rushing to the front? If you die, who will support your old lady, just follow behind. Be smart with your eyelids, and run away if the situation is not right."

Li Mule said in a low voice.

Inside the house, seven or eight soldiers rushed in.

After lighting the torch, they saw that there were only a few of them in the room measuring one foot square.

"Where are people? Did he really see a ghost?"

"Look, there's a hole under the bed!"

Wang Shichang, who was still outside the house due to injuries, heard the conversation inside the house, and said angrily: "Go down! Go down and catch the people in the cave for me! Dare to sneak attack me!"

Several people in the room moved the bed away, leaving a hole two feet wide and narrow on the ground.

I took a torch and looked forward, but I couldn't see the specific situation inside.

But there is such a strange hole in the house, which makes people subconsciously feel a little bit afraid.

Eager to take revenge, Wang Shichang stood at the door of the room, clutching his bleeding wound, and ordered: "Zeng Datou! You go down first!"

Zeng Datou hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and drilled in.

But only a few breaths later, there was a scream from inside the cave.

Because the burrow has a beam sound effect, when it is transmitted to the house, the trembling people's hearts are trembling.

Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of blood diffused from the cave.
"."

"."

Everyone backed away a few steps in fright, and looked at the cave entrance with unconcealable fear in their eyes.

Wu Tong's legs were shaking.
"Fucking mother! I don't believe it. There are really ghosts in this world. Light a fire in the cave for me and pour it into me."

Wang Shichang's scolding stopped abruptly, and all the sergeants who were paying attention to the entrance of the cave realized something was wrong, so they hurriedly turned their heads, only to see that there was a dark red line of blood on Wang Shichang's neck, which was still talking a moment ago, and the blood sprayed like a jet. into a bloody mist.
Wang Shichang didn't seem to understand what happened, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his neck, and then fell straight back.

Under the dim starlight, a ghostly figure outside the house quickly hid in the darkness.

"Ghost!"

Li Mule, whose psychological defense line collapsed in an instant, dragged Wu Tong and ran away. Seeing this, the other sergeants rushed out without caring about anything else.

"Hey! Instructor Liu, we scared them away! What should we do?"

Behind a low wall in the distance, Lin Dali leaned out his upper body from the tunnel, and said anxiously to Liu Baishun, the instructor of the second team of the Luliuwei Joint Defense Team who was hiding in the shadows one foot away.

Liu Baishun quickly assessed the strength of the two sides, and said decisively: "Tell everyone to copy the guy! Be careful not to disperse when chasing, and don't fight on your own."

There are more than 50 men hiding in the tunnels of Xilin Village, and the other party has only nine of them, and they are already frightened. As long as the superiority in numbers is maintained, there will be no major problems.

"it is good!"

Lin Dali nimbly slid into the tunnel with a short body, found the thick hollow moso bamboo buried in the soil, and shouted at one end of the bamboo, "Attention all ministries! "

This command was repeated two or three times in the tunnel extending in all directions.

Afterwards, groups of men jumped out of the front and back of the houses in Xilin Village, and under the stove bed.

Armed with hoes, steel forks, iron guns, and torches, they gathered from all directions, chasing small groups of defeated troops out of the village
At the beginning of the child.

Seven or eight figures groped south along the small road on the side of the official road in two groups. Xu Zhiyuan, who was leading the way, held a simple knife and looked back at the three brothers and sisters of the Chen family who had fallen behind. They stood there and waited. After a while, when the three of them got closer, they couldn't help complaining: "Wei Ting, you don't know how to work hard. It's already a burden to take you with you, but you actually brought your sister and brother with you! We are going to fight, not to spend time every house"

"I know kung fu!" Chen Yinglang quickly defended himself.

Chen Jinyu, who was wearing a moon-white scholar's shirt, naturally heard the meaning of being disgusted, and kept silent with a cold face.

"Zhiyuan, although my younger sister can't kill with a knife, she can make suggestions. My father praised her for having dimples in her chest."

Chen Yingjun defended his sister.

Actually, he didn't want to take his sister with him, but when she went out in the morning, she threatened him with 'If you don't take me, tell your parents', Chen Yingjun couldn't do anything
Chen Yingjun, who has always taken "the world as his responsibility", does not want to hide at home and do nothing when the whole county is fighting against the rebels.

Xu Zhiyuan could refute Chen Yingjun, but he couldn't refute Chen Xianzun's words, so he could only say bitterly: "Then you brothers and sisters, hurry up, don't make us wait for you anymore"

The voice just fell, but there was a noise in front of him.

Looking up, I saw two groups of people running up the official road.

The light was dim, and it was hard to see clearly, but there were eight or nine people in the front group, as if they were wearing official uniforms.

Ximen, who was standing side by side with Xu Zhiyuan in front, rushed into the pit and hid, almost driving Xu Zhiyuan to hide too.

Then Xu Zhiyuan came to his senses and couldn't help cursing: "Ximen Chong, you hide a chicken feather! We came out to kill the rebels!"

After a moment's delay, it was clear that the people running on the official road were really officers and soldiers, Xu Zhiyuan shouted, "Follow me if you have eggs!"

Immediately he raised the knife and rushed over.

Ximen Chong and the other second generations of Tongshan looked at each other in blank dismay. They had agreed yesterday that they would go out of the city today and contribute their own strength to defend Tongshan.

But now that it's really on the battlefield, I can't help but feel a little timid
However, if you show your timidity tonight, you will be made fun of by Xu Zhiyuan for the rest of your life!
"Fight!"

Ximen Chong gritted his teeth, raised the Yanling Saber and ran over screaming.

Seeing him like this, the rest of the people, including Chen Yinglang, also rushed over.

How could Chen Yingjun fall behind in this kind of thing.

The sense of the sacred mission of 'protecting the people of Tongshan' made Chen Yingjun tremble with excitement, and immediately drew out the Longquan sword he stole from home and was about to make his debut.

But he felt being held back by someone, and when he looked back, it was his sister.

Thinking that his sister would join in the fun even in the war, Chen Yingjun hurriedly persuaded him seriously: "Ayu, you hide here and wait for me! Just now Xu Zhiyuan also said, 'Follow me if you have eggs', you don't have eggs, so naturally you are not in the list !"

"."

Chen Jinyu said anxiously: "Brother! What we said in the morning was to go to Luliuxu to help in the battle! You have neither kung fu nor fighting experience, so you will lose your life in vain!"

"So what if he dies! If a real man dies well, it will be a pleasure!"

Chen Yingjun, who felt a heroic spirit surging in his chest, saw that Xu Zhiyuan had run a long way, took advantage of his sister's unpreparedness, and ran forward suddenly, and after running five or six feet in one breath, he turned around and said: "Ayu You hide it well, go for my brother!"

"Caizhou soldier ruffian! Let you see and see my Tongshan hero"

In the dark night, Chen Yingjun's ghost howling came from afar.

Chen Jinyu stomped her feet angrily, but finally hid back in the pit.

She knew that even if she rushed over, she wouldn't be able to help, and would drag everyone down.

that compartment.

Wu Tong, who was running out of breath, saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and when he was extremely anxious, he saw another group of people killing out from the diagonal stab ahead.

Can't help but be shocked.

Li Mule, who ran at the forefront, hardly hesitated, and when he was twenty feet away from the "ambush" in front of him, he knelt down with a plop.

Due to the inertia of rushing forward, he even slid on his knees for a certain distance.

indescribably silky
"Grandpa, spare your life, grandpa, spare your life! The little one is down."

With his voice, the rest of the soldiers followed suit.

Immediately, shouts of 'surrender' and 'forgiveness' rang out one after another.

This made Xu Zhiyuan, who was running close with the knife, a little confused and a little upset. Let's try a few tricks, and it's better to let me suffer some injuries, leave a scar or something.

In that way, when I went to Caiwei Pavilion to find my sister in the future, I took off my clothes, and the sisters asked, "What's the matter with the knife wound, sir?" '

Xu Zhiyuan could look up at the sky at 45 degrees, and said lightly: It was the autumn of the eighth year of Fuchang, in order to protect the people of Tongshan
Just ask you, can my sister live up to it?
such a pity!This caizhou soldier was too cowardly, which made Xu Zhiyuan lose the opportunity to show his holiness in front of others.

rear.

Liu Baishun and Lin Dali chased after them with dozens of young men.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned, "Brother on the opposite side, which part is it?"

"We are scholars from the former county, and now we are working in the editorial department of Toutiao!" Xu Zhiyuan replied loudly.

Hearing this, Liu Baishun got closer.

Can't help being surprised.

He is from Luliuxu, Xu Zhiyuan and others often come and go in and out of the village, so Liu Baishun naturally knows about them.

What surprised Liu Baishun was how such a group of second-generation officials ran out of the city in turmoil!
If this was captured by Caizhou soldiers, wouldn't Tongshan's senior management be in a mess.

"Ah! Isn't this the son of Xu Yuhou! The nephew of Ximen Yasi! The sons of Chen Xianzun really impressed us today, the tiger father has no dogs!"

In order to stabilize the gang of second generations first, Liu Baishun's compliments were spoken out like money.

Lin Dali and other villagers couldn't help but looked at these young people in shock. Unexpectedly, the county lord even sent his own son to fight!
All in one mind, all in one mind!

"Hehe~"

"Hehe~"

Xu Zhiyuan, Chen Yingjun and others all had silly smiles on their faces.

They naturally noticed everyone's surprise and admiration.

Immediately a surge of pride arose in my heart. Daddy, your big brother has saved face for you!

Here, just as Wu Tong and the Caizhou soldiers were tied up, there was another commotion from behind.

Looking back, it was almost a re-enactment of the scene just now.

Another seven or eight officers and soldiers ran in front, and dozens of people chased after them.

After a while, the officers and soldiers found that the road ahead was blocked, so they wisely made the same choice as Li Mule and knelt down and surrendered.

But Liu Baishun didn't rush forward, and shouted to the crowd who also stopped twenty feet away, through the kneeling officers and soldiers: "Brother, what part?"

"We are from Shuanghe Village, password!" In the thick night, the other party shouted.

"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger!"

"Pagoda Town River Demon!"

Seeing that he met the password for tonight, Lin Dali immediately lifted his guard, and greeted him with a smile, "Haha, Shuanghe Village, but Brother Zhou Zongfa?"

"Strongly? Hahaha, what's the harvest tonight?" Zhou Zongfa saw who was coming, sheathed his knife, and stepped forward with a smile.

"Killed two, captured nine!"

"Hahaha, our side is similar."

When the two sides met on the official road, a warm exchange of greetings was naturally indispensable.

Tonight, the Shenrui Army dispatched more than 20 food-raising teams, running everywhere.

Similarly, Tongshan Qingzhuang, who relied on tunnels to hunt and kill food-raising teams, was everywhere.

A few days ago, Chen Chu organized the young and strong who voluntarily stayed in their homes into dozens of teams ranging from 60 to [-] people, and they were stationed in the tunnels of the villages along the official road.

They are called the militia.

Each militia sent at least one member of the Luliuxu joint defense team to coordinate and command.

By the way, Liu Bai was sent to Xilin Village.

There are also some people who act alone, riding horses to pass messages between villages.

While talking, a horse came galloping from the official road in the north.

After correcting the password, the knight came directly to Liu Baishun, and said in a low voice, "Instructor Liu, there is a team of 30 horsemen coming from four miles to the north."

When Lin Dali heard this, he excitedly said: "There are a hundred people in our two villages, let's do him alone!"

Liu Baishun only took a few breaths of thought before rejecting this tempting proposal, "During the mobilization meeting the day before yesterday, my boss repeatedly told me not to be brave when meeting Ma Jun."

It is the trained elite infantry who have difficulty protecting themselves when they encounter the horse army, let alone their undertrained militiamen.

"Let them go?" Lin Dali said regretfully.

Liu Baishun chuckled, and said, "The master won't let the brothers make unnecessary sacrifices. The master has said so, and leave the tough bones to them."

After finishing speaking, Liu Baishun took out three slender paper tubes from his waist pocket, walked to a high place and lit them.

'咻~Duang~'

There were three explosions in succession, and three red light spots rose in the night sky one after another, and then fell slowly.

"Okay, let's leave now"

Liu Baishun confessed, looked at Xu Zhiyuan, Chen Yingjun and the others, and then stepped forward and said: "My lords, how about another battle with me!"

"it is good!"

You feel that the second generation who are not addicted are in a hurry to respond.

After a while, the noisy official road became quiet again.

Walking in the team, Xu Zhiyuan and others felt their blood agitated, and couldn't help recounting the heroic deeds of who rushed the fastest and who yelled the loudest.

Chen Yingjun was equally excited, but felt as if he forgot something.
In a forest on the north side of Cross Slope.

Chen Chu gnawed on a piece of instant noodles, silently watching the barracks where two hundred Caizhou soldiers were stationed a mile away.

"Brother Chu, do you want to take them?" Da Lang took out a piece of dried meat, tore it in half, and handed half to Chen Chu.

"Don't worry, break the Caizhou army under the county seat, these 200 people will collapse without attack."

"When will we attack the barracks below the city?"

"Wait until Tie Dan brings someone back before doing anything."

Just as Chen Chu finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound coming from the quiet autumn night, so he hurriedly looked up.

However, in the night sky three or four miles away to the north, there are three red light spots slowly descending.

Dalang immediately said: "Red, Ma Jun. Three pieces, 30 people."

Chen Chu nodded, and said with a chuckle: "Da Lang, tell the brothers to get up, thirty horsemen, no more, no less, it's just for us to exercise our muscles and bones."

"it is good!"

　Thanks to the two students 'Baba Jiang' and 'A Little Taste of Violet' for their rewards~
