Yi Song

Chapter 7 Life and death are bearish

After the fourth watch, Wang Yan came in and woke up Liu Guozhang, who was sleeping soundly.

"Liu Erlang, everyone is waiting for you."

The energetic Liu Guozhang followed him to the guard house. Everyone was present and looked at him with different expressions.

"Liu Erlang, do you have a tiger's heart in your chest? You can still sleep so peacefully." Yuan Dongjia yawned with dark eyes.

"If you don't care about life and death, you can naturally calm down and sleep." Liu Guozhang smiled faintly.

"It's easier said than done. Liu Erlang, there's no movement outside." Wang Yan then added, "At the third watch, Ah Si died."

"The thieves of Manjin Hall are really calm. So, the master of his hall is here to take charge."

Wang Yan, Chen Guang and Zhang Sheng nodded, understanding the meaning of Liu Guozhang's words.

Liu Guozhang stopped talking nonsense, "Okay, since everyone is willing to listen to my orders, then I will try my best to help everyone survive. Yuan Tianbao, Wang Buddha, can you two kill people?"

"I can kill, but I can only kill Brother Buddha."

"Okay, you two take the two shackles. They are made of iron. If you swing them on the head, they can kill people."

"it is good!"

"Brother, how about you?"

"I have been sailing since I was twelve years old. I have encountered pirates and bandits countless times."

"Okay," Liu Guozhang handed over a wooden pole, which was one of the wooden bars he had broken and then sharpened.

"This stick is thick and can withstand knives. It has a sharp break and can poke a bloody hole. Brother, hold it."

"Okay."

Liu Guozhang looked at the two Suzhou scholars again. Fengcheng took a step forward and tried his best to hold his chest high.

But with his size, he was worried that he would be blown away if the wind was strong.

Tian Cong, who was standing behind him, shrank, really worried that when he saw the thief later, he would become incontinent and faint from fear.

Forget it, I don’t count you as a fighting force. If you can run on your own, don’t let anyone carry you. Amitabha.

"Okay, let me set it up. Brother Wang, you and Brother Chen go to the first wave and go to the right. There are two pillars over there. Zhang Laozhang, you two grandsons go to the second wave and go to the left. There is a pillar over there. Piles of clutter.”

"it is good!"

"Brother Wang, after Mr. Zhang and his grandson rushed out and hid, you made some noise to cover me."

"Covering you?"

"Yes. If we want to break out of this den of thieves and wolves, the key is to seize the commanding heights. I'll take care of this job."

Liu Guozhang turned to the rest of the people and continued the arrangements.

"Yuan Dongjia, Wang Zhuangshi, eldest brother, you should be more alert. Once I seize the commanding heights, suppress the thieves, or disrupt the thieves' position, follow Brother Wang and Zhang Weng and rush out along the courtyard walls on both sides.

Don't get entangled, don't be afraid of arrows, just rush out. There are four archers outside, only the one in front is somewhat accurate, and the other three can definitely bet on luck.

As long as they get close, these thieves from Manjintang are no match for Brother Wang, Brother Chen, and Zhang Weng's ancestors and grandchildren. "

Wang Yan smiled softly, "I'm not bragging, but we are brave and effective as the left army. We go to the border for rotation in March and April every year. In the past few years, the Song-Liao border has not been peaceful, and the people there have been living in dire straits.

Khitan people, Xi people, Bohai people, and Han people, many people don't have enough to eat. Those who have weapons in their hands want to go south to grab a vote.

We have never fought a big battle, but we have fought countless small battles. The geese hold the reeds in their mouths to defend the platform, and the oxen form a formation to defeat the tiger. With a blade in hand, you will not be afraid of the golden hall. "

When everyone heard this, their morale soared!

"Okay!" Liu Guozhang nodded and continued.

"Two scholars, you follow the team at the end and be careful. If your legs and feet become weak and you can't run, just wait here and don't go out. We will kill all the thieves and we will come to pick you up."

"Killed all the thieves?"

"If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze. In tonight's battle, either he will die or I will die. We must kill him cleanly to eliminate future troubles." Liu Guozhang said nonchalantly.

"But," Yuan Tianbao said in surprise, "Manjintang is the head of the Wuyou Gang. We have killed all Manjintang, and the Wuyou Gang will not spare us."

Liu Guozhang touched the blade and sheathed the knife with a bang.

"If we show mercy to Manjintang, will the Wuyou Gang spare us? If the Wuyou Gang doesn't have eyesight, then they will just kill them again!"

Yuan Tianbao cupped his hands and said no more.

Liu Guozhang looked outside through the crack in the door.

There was no one in the empty courtyard.

The bodies of Han Dongjia and Ah Si lay there, like two stones on the roadside.

The surrounding courtyard walls and roof ridges were looming in the night.

The moon was setting in the west, and there was darkness between heaven and earth.

Four qi-death wind lanterns hang on the eaves in the corner. The night wind blew and swayed, making the whole yard blurry with light and shadow, eerie and dark, like a wilderness cemetery.

Zhang Sheng and Liu Da poured the oil from the oil lamp into the upper door shaft, then wrapped a wooden stick with a cloth strip, dipped it in oil, and smeared it into the upper door shaft.

Liu Guozhang looked back at everyone. The only oil lamp was extinguished, and the corridor was dark. I could vaguely see that everyone was divided into two lines, sticking to both sides of the corridor, and they were all ready.

Liu Guozhang nodded to Wang Yan and yelled: "Let's go!"

Open the door silently.

Wang Yan and Chen Guang rushed out of the door quickly, ducked and hid behind the pillar on the right.

The door was mostly closed again quietly.

Next is the second wave of Zhang Sheng's ancestors and grandchildren.

Everyone's faces were solemn, and their palms were sweating.

Wang Yan and Chen Guang rushed into the first wave, but the Manjintang thieves had no time to react, so they were safe.

They may have been awakened now, and they are afraid that all the bows and arrows will be aimed at this door, and if they rush forward, they will risk their lives.

Zhang Meng took a step forward and got ahead.

Zhang Sheng pulled him back and said viciously: "I'm not dead yet, why are you so anxious!"

Liu Guozhang stepped forward and got to the front.

"Liu Erlang, what are you doing?"

"This time you accept me as your general. If the general doesn't rush to the front, why should he hide behind? There are no beauties singing and dancing here."

Fengcheng blurted out: "The warriors are half dead in front of the army, but the beauties are still singing and dancing under the tent."

Liu Guozhang turned his head and said with a smile: "If you can speak, just speak more. If you are brave enough, you can read poems for us behind the door to encourage us."

Seeing the relaxed and carefree Liu Guozhang, Fengcheng felt courage in his heart and said loudly.

"Why not!
  The smoke and dust of the Han family are in the northeast, and the Han generals will resign and destroy their families. "

"That's right, that's how it is. Don't care about life and death. If you don't accept it, do it. Brother, open the door."

"it is good!"

The door was opened by Liu Da and Wang Buddha. Liu Guozhang took the lead and rushed out like a whirlwind.

"A man's self-esteem is rampant, and the emperor bestows color on him."

"Whoosh!" A sharp sound pierced the night sky, and an arrow flew from the front and hit Liu Guozhang directly in the chest.

Liu Guozhang kept walking and continued to rush forward. He stretched out his left hand, drew a semicircle in the air, and unexpectedly caught the arrow.

In the darkness, faint exclamations were heard.

Liu Guozhang and Zhang Sheng rushed to hide behind the debris.

"A stone bow." Liu Guozhang shouted.

Wang Yan and others knew what was going on.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, for the infantry bow of the Song Army, one stone is the first level, nine dou is the second level, and eight dou is the third level. Although there are many officers and generals in the army who can draw a one-and-a-half-stone and two-stone bow, ordinary archers can generally only hold seven or eight bows.

Yishi Gong, who was considered the best among the archers of the Song Army, actually became Manjintang's minion.

"In our military system of the Song Dynasty, three hits out of six for infantry are first class, two hits are second class, and one hit are third class. Liu Erlang, how high is this thief?"

Wang Yan suddenly asked.

Liu Guozhang knew what he meant and laughed and said: "A straight thief, if you hit three out of six shots, you dare to be ranked first class. I'm so ashamed! This thief is so accurate that he can barely be ranked second class."

"Second class, that means two out of six shots? Tsk tsk! If this were done in front of my senior brother, he would have been expelled from the school long ago!"

"Yeah, the accuracy is really ridiculous. In order to catch the arrow, I had to turn sideways to catch it. Haha!"

An angry roar sounded in the distance, and then three consecutive arrows whistled.

One nail is nailed to the pillar, and two nails are nailed to the sundries wooden box.

Wang Yan shouted loudly: "I have to use all my strength to suckle! Your archery must have been taught by your master's wife."

Chen Guang also added tactfully, "Everyone taught by my junior wife is better than this. I'm afraid it was taught by my junior sister."

"what!"

Three more arrows, all nailed to the pillar.

The one-stone archer was furious and confused, what a great opportunity!
  Liu Guozhang's figure flashed, flew out from the pile of debris, and disappeared into the shadow of the courtyard wall.

The yard suddenly became quiet, and everyone was looking for that figure.

Fengcheng continued to read poetry loudly behind the door.

"The mountains and rivers are desolate and the land is extremely remote, and the barbarian cavalry and the mausoleum are mixed with wind and rain."

The wind was blowing loudly, making the lanterns sway constantly, light and dark constantly changing, and everyone's hearts fluctuated along with it.

Damn it, where did that kid go?
