The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 185 Sweep
Lin Ruhai had never recovered from his illness, but after going through all this trouble, he was now drowsy and unconscious.Lin Daiyu and Xueyan, the master and servant, were waiting worriedly. The long-term hunger and thirst also made them very weak. As for the salt transport envoy Zhang Yitong, he was leaning against the corner with his eyes closed. I don't know whether it was to save energy or because he was already hungry. fainted.

At this time, the sound of fighting outside suddenly stopped, but the firewood thrown into the courtyard wall by the thieves was still burning.There were originally seven or eight seriously injured salt soldiers lying on the ground in the ancestral hall. At this moment, four of them had lost their voices. The chests of the remaining three were still rising and falling slightly, and they occasionally let out one or two weak moans. Other than that, Outside, it was deathly silent, so quiet that it made people panic.

Xue Yan stretched her neck, looked into the yard by the light of the fire, and said with a hint of hope: "Why is everything quiet all of a sudden? Could it be that the thieves have retreated?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head. The thief's move was obviously aimed at her father deliberately. He was about to succeed, so how could he retreat at this time? To paraphrase Huan Di, this was obviously unscientific.

Xue Yan said worriedly: "Master Huan has been gone for several hours, and I don't know if he has invited any reinforcements."

Lin Daiyu remained silent. To be honest, she didn't have much hope for this. The thieves were able to attack accurately this time, so it was obvious that they had internal intelligence. Moreover, the dignified Yangzhou salt inspector was attacked, and there were not a few salt soldiers who escaped. The news was certain. The news has spread, but no reinforcements have come to the rescue for most of the day. This is obviously not normal, so it is unlikely that Brother Huan will invite reinforcements.

However, Huan Di always surprises. When he first rushed to take the county examination, he thought that he had little chance of passing. As a result, Huan Di not only passed, but also got the case. From then on, he was out of control. He has been the leader of both the government examination and the hospital examination, and has achieved the rare success of three yuan. Therefore, it is not certain that Brother Huan will be able to invite reinforcements in the end. Even if he cannot, at least he has escaped and it will be good if he can survive!
Seeing Lin Daiyu's silence, Xue Yan knew that she was not sure either, so she panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, if the thief breaks in later, what will we do?"

Lin Daiyu subconsciously clenched the dagger Jia Huan handed her when he said goodbye, and said with firm eyes: "The only one is dead!"

Lin Daiyu has a maverick personality, aloof and self-proclaimed. She is an out-and-out spiritual aristocrat. She can't even bear to be polluted by "dirty ditches", let alone herself, so she will never be humiliated and live an ignoble life. Because Knowing this, Jia Huan promised her that if the thieves came in, he would kill her with a gun first. When he left to ask for help, he gave her a dagger.

Xue Yan glanced at the dagger in Lin Daiyu's hand, with a hint of fear in her eyes, and said: "Girl, are you not afraid of death?"

Lin Daiyu nodded: "I'm afraid, but there are things more terrifying than death."

When Xue Yan thought of the humiliation she would receive after falling into the hands of thieves, she couldn't help but shivered cleverly and said, "Young lady, you're right, stab me to death first. Do it quickly, I'm afraid of the pain."

Lin Daiyu's eyes turned red, she nodded and said softly: "Being a companion on the road to Huangquan is not a waste of time for us to be master and servant in this life."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise outside the courtyard. It turned out that the courtyard wall had been knocked down. In an instant, sand and rocks flew, and smoke and dust filled the air. The thieves let out loud cheers, like a group of evil ghosts who had broken through the gate of hell, scrambling to get out. He rushed in through the gap in the courtyard wall.

Lin Daiyu and Xueyan's masters and servants instantly turned pale. Lin Ruhai, who was sleeping, was also awakened. Zhang Yongdong, the salt luck envoy in the corner, also opened his eyes and sat up, blurting out: "The wall collapsed!"

"His grandma finally knocked down the wall. Brothers, rush in, kill all the bastards inside, and avenge the dead brothers!" Zhang Xiaobei, the fourth leader, had eyes full of anger and shouted loudly through gritted teeth, In order to breach this ancestral hall, dozens of people were killed and injured, which really made him very angry.

The seventh master, Shen Guan, said hurriedly: "Fourth, don't give random orders, the master must keep alive."

Zhang Xiaobei slapped his forehead and said: "I'm so angry that I'm dizzy. Everyone, listen up. Don't kill the officials yet. Kill the others as you please. It doesn't matter if they are broken into pieces."

Shen Guan, the seventh master, laughed and said: "I heard that Lin Ruhai has a flower-like apple under her knees. She is in her golden years. This time she is disguised as a man and goes on a tour with her father. Don't hurt her. I want the one alive. !”

Zhang Xiaobei said contemptuously: "Old Qi, the word "sex" has a knife on your head. If you don't change it, you will die sooner or later."

Shen Guan said disapprovingly: "You know nothing! You can die under peonies, but you can be a ghost even if you die!"

Uh...

While Zhang Xiaobei and Shen Guan were talking, a long black shadow suddenly came through the air and swept towards the group of thieves in a sharp spiral. The seven or eight thieves who were rushing in from the gap in the wall were bloody and bloody on the spot, which was visible to the naked eye. The trend has fallen sharply.

It turned out that Tiehu saw the wall collapsed and the thieves swarmed in, so he tried his best to throw the iron rod away. This thing weighed eighty kilograms, and when he swung it around quickly, it was like a meat grinder. Everyone who came into contact was dead or maimed. One of the unlucky pirates was hit in the face. His whole face was smashed, his eyes popped out, his Tianling Cap flew away, and his brain was like raining flowers.

This move was so fierce that the thieves who were rushing in were so frightened that they subconsciously stopped.Tiehu took the opportunity to rush forward, picked up the iron rod from the pile of dead people, and rolled off the blood, flesh, brains, etc. on it with both hands. At the same time, he shouted: "I, Tiehu, am here, so I'm not afraid of death." Come up."

At this time, Xing Wei, Jiang Bin and the only remaining salt soldier also arrived at the same time. They formed a line of defense and blocked the gap in the wall.

Seeing the four men covered in blood and with ferocious expressions, the thieves were frightened by each other's momentum for a moment, and they stayed in place and did not dare to move forward.Zhang Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then became furious and shouted loudly: "There are only four people left. You are so scared. Come on me and kill them all!"

This Zhang Xiaobei was a real person. He not only shouted slogans, he actually took the lead, so the bandits quickly plucked up the courage to attack Tie Hu and the others.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. No matter how hard you fight, you can't fight against a large number of people. What's more, Tie Hu and others are at the end of their strength, so they gradually can't resist, and are forced to retreat step by step. Jiang Bin suddenly screams, It turned out that he was shot by a cold arrow in the left thigh and fell to his knees on the spot. The salt soldier next to him just tried to help him, but was killed by Zhang Xiaobei, the fourth leader, and died a heroic death.

"Death!" Tie Hu's eyes were completely red, and he swept out with his stick. The fourth leader, Zhang Xiaobei, carried a knife and tried to hold Tie Hu's iron rod. As a result, he regretted it as soon as the knife and stick touched him, and he felt The huge force hit him like a mountain, so frightened that he quickly let go and jumped back.

bang...

Zhang Xiaobei's smashing knife was not light, weighing more than 30 kilograms, but when it collided with Tie Hu's iron rod, it broke into two pieces and flew out. If Zhang Xiaobei hadn't let go in time and backed away, his hands would only I was afraid that it would be useless, but even so, the two hands were so shocked that the tiger's mouth cracked and oozed blood.

"Hey, this black guy is so strong!" Zhang Xiaobei gasped, but he didn't dare to step forward anymore, and retreated to the back to direct the group of thieves to continue attacking.

At this time, Tiehu and Xingwei had already carried the injured Jiang Bin back to the gate of the ancestral hall.Lin Daiyu in the room couldn't help but show a look of despair. She pulled out the dagger without hesitation. Xue Yan was afraid and closed her eyes, thinking: "I'm going to die!"

Lin Ruhai saw her daughter pull out the dagger decisively and did not stop her. She just showed a painful expression. Facing the inhumane pirates, committing suicide was obviously the best choice.Bang bang bang...

Just as Lin Daiyu raised the dagger and was about to stab Xue Yan in the chest, there was suddenly a burst of gunfire and the rumble of horse hooves outside!

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Yu'er, stop it!"

Lin Daiyu paused and looked at her father in astonishment. Lin Ruhai's beard trembled with excitement: "Reinforcements...reinforcements are here!"

"Reinforcements?" Lin Daiyu listened carefully, and sure enough she heard the sound of gunshots like exploding beans and the neighing of horses from outside. She couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Could it be that Brother Huan really invited reinforcements?
Yes, it was Jia Huan who arrived outside with reinforcements. Although there were only fifty cavalry, how could the combat power of cavalry and infantry be the same?What's more, some of Feng Ziying's cavalry are equipped with matchlock guns.

At this time, it was the time when the rising sun was shining brightly. Jia Huan was leading the way, like an arrow leaving the string. A few meters behind were Feng Ziying and Lu Xiangsheng, and behind them were fifty people from Yunti Pass Qianhu Station. cavalry.

Because Jia Huan was eager to save people, he did not stop at all along the way and actually galloped for more than 40 miles in one breath. At this moment, the horses under his legs were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth. Feng Ziying and others were also very tired, but after a while, Thinking that the great achievement was just around the corner, I gritted my teeth and worked hard, and I arrived just at dawn.

Speaking of Jia Huan, when he saw the wall of the ancestral hall being knocked down from a distance, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. But when he looked closer, he found that the thieves were still rushing in. The battle inside was obviously not over yet, and he couldn't help being surprised and happy. , quickly drew out the double-barreled musket, and while riding his horse, he raised his hand and fired!
boom……

Jia Huan is now getting more and more comfortable with this musket. Although he was galloping on his horse, he actually hit the target with one shot. A pirate who was guarding near the gap was shot in the back and fell down.

At this time, the pirates obviously heard the sound of gunfire and the sound of horse hooves, and turned their heads to look. When they saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them, they were frightened out of their wits.

bang bang bang...

Intensive gunfire rang out immediately, a wave of lead bullets swept in, and several more pirates near the gap fell.

"Fourth master, seventh master, no good, the officers and soldiers are coming!" Some pirates shouted in horror.

Zhang Xiaobei and Shen Guan were originally planning to kill Tie Hu and Xing Wei, the two final stumbling blocks. They were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly looked back. At this time, Jia Huan rushed in from the gap immediately, and then It's Feng Ziying and Lu Xiangsheng.

Tiehu and Xingwei were ecstatic when they saw this, and shouted in unison: "Third Master, Third Master has invited reinforcements and is back!"

jingle...

The dagger in Lin Daiyu's hand fell to the ground and she cried with joy. Xue Yan was even more excited and said, "Third Master, haha, it's really Third Master. It's true that Third Master has invited reinforcements. Amitabha, God bless you!" "

Lin Ruhai also showed a relieved smile. He was indeed right. Brother Huan is someone who can achieve great things!

At this time, more cavalry rushed into the yard from the gap. Some raised their guns and pulled the trigger, and some slashed with their swords. The killings made the bandits panic and run away with their heads in their hands.

"Where did the cavalry come from?" Zhang Xiaobei and Shen Guan were both a little confused. Didn't the boss say there wouldn't be reinforcements?What bastard is this stabbing you in the back?
Although the combat power of the local guards of the Jin Dynasty is not as good as that of the Beijing army and the border army, it is still much stronger than the salt soldiers, not to mention the cavalry. In addition, the pirates were caught off guard, so it was a one-sided massacre. , in an instant he defeated the thieves like chopping melons and vegetables, and fled over the wall one after another, only wishing that their parents would lose two legs.

Jia Huan's eyes were as bright as lightning when he suddenly saw a guy dressed as a scholar climbing up the wall in a panic. He raised his hand and shot away. The guy's buttocks bled on the spot and he fell down from the wall.

"Haha, Brother Huan is a good marksman!" Feng Ziying laughed loudly and rode forward, picked up the guy who was covering his anus and howling miserably, and threw him to a cavalryman: "Tie him up!"

Feng Ziying had been holding it in for three years at the Qianhu Station in Yunti Pass, and it had already hurt her balls. Today she finally had a chance to stretch her muscles and bones, and she couldn't help but go on a killing spree, riding her horse and swinging her sword, slashing and killing.

Lu Xiangsheng was usually a gentle man, but he was so fierce when he chopped people down. He was killing people from outside the courtyard to the courtyard, and from the courtyard to the outside. He was chasing and killing people all over the village, and he was even more aggressive than the cavalry in the guard station.

Originally, there were only over 100 pirates who besieged the ancestral hall all night, killing and injuring dozens of people. Now they were killed and injured by the cavalry, and dozens more were killed and injured. The rest fled towards the seaside. Obviously, they were planning to board. The boat escapes to sea.

How can a cooked duck be allowed to fly?Without saying a word, Feng Ziying immediately led her troops in hot pursuit. She found that Lu Xiangsheng had actually run ahead of her. She couldn't help but secretly muttered: "Isn't this guy a scholar? How can he be more murderous than me, Uncle Feng?" Is it Confucius or Sun Tzu?"

Seeing that the thief was running away and no longer posing a threat, Jia Huan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly reloaded the double-barreled gun, wound it up, and buckled the safety, then he stood up and dismounted. Quickly walked to Tiehu and others.

At this moment, Tiehu and Xingwei were so tired that they collapsed under the eaves in front of the ancestral hall. Jiang Bin still had an arrow stuck in his thigh. Although he was shivering in pain, he still showed a smile that would survive the disaster and said: "Huan Bin The Third Master is back, I’m sorry that I’m injured, so I can’t pay tribute to the Third Master Huan!”

Jia Huan nodded and said, "You don't have to be polite, Jiang." After saying that, he turned to Tiehu and Xingwei and asked with concern, "Are you two okay?"

Tiehu grinned and said, "I can't die. Fortunately, the third master came back in time."

Xing Wei fell to the ground and kept panting. He didn't even have the strength to speak, but his eyes were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.

"You guys take a break first." Jia Huan patted the two of them on the shoulders and quickly walked into the room.
