Late Tang

(Thanks to Huan Xinchen and Nanyanghuo for their rewards, brothers and sisters for their support!)

The land of Qilu was originally a land of etiquette, but after the great chaos in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty and the Anshi Rebellion a hundred years ago, countless people in Yanzhao land north of the Yellow River moved south.There are even many who came from the west of Liaoxi and Liaodong, and a large number of people from the north poured in, which made the Qilu people who originally admired culture and etiquette a little more martial arts.

The men in Wang Lizhuang have basically practiced martial arts and kung fu with fists, feet and sticks since they were young.Although it doesn't mean that everyone can ride and shoot like Li Jing, but most of them are physically strong and have learned spears and sticks.It's just that although these young men have learned martial arts, when they faced those desperate bandits for the first time, they seemed to have completely forgotten their own skills.After being rushed by those ferocious-looking bandits, he completely flinched.

Fortunately, Li Jing shot down three shots in a row, and under his orders, several young people gradually gathered together.At this time, Li Jing not only shot another arrow to overturn the opponent's leader, but also the other two bandits lost their previous momentum and turned around to leave.The courage in their hearts was finally inspired.

Holding the long spear he had picked up, Li Xiaoshan couldn't catch up with him, shouted, twisted his waist and raised his arms, and threw the white wax long spear at one of the bandits.

Another little dog with a gun followed suit, and with a loud cry, he threw the gun with all his might.

Only a few steps away, the spears of Li Xiaoshan and Xi Gouzi both hit the target, and the two bandits who were running away were shot to the ground with an ouch.The little stone and the little carpenter rushed over with the horizontal knife and scabbard.

"Don't kill me!" Li Jing hurriedly shouted from behind, and chased after him.

But he shouted a little late, one of the two guys was shot directly in the back by the gun thrown by Li Xiaoshan, and died on the spot.The remaining one was shot in the lower back by the gun, and the blood stained most of his body. He was still half alive, but the little stone struck very quickly, and he had already mended the guy's neck for a day.Now that guy is like a sheep whose neck has been cut, struggling with the last bit of strength stretching his legs, but as the blood flowed more and more, his struggle became weaker and weaker.

The little carpenter saw that Xiao Shitou, Xiao Shan, and Xi Gouzi had killed each other, and he hurriedly took the horizontal scabbard as a knife and slashed Li Jing's scarred face with an arrow, so that his face was covered with blood.

"Stop, don't beat me to death!" Li Jing yelled, he had already seen that this Scarface was a leader.Right now, Xiaowei Wang and the others are still surrounded, and Li Jing wants to use this scarred face as a bargaining chip to temporarily end the melee.

Li Jing picked up the scarred face and saw that although his face was covered with blood, it was extremely terrifying, but his eyes were still open, and his mouth and nose were still breathing, so he finally felt relieved.With a scarred face on his face, he quickly glanced at the field. Xiaowei Wang was waving a horizontal knife and was trying to parry. Two young men surnamed Wang held a wooden stick and swung left and right, guarding Xiaowei Wang's back.In addition, Wang Liang and Zhang Zuoli shrank to the other side with the other two younger generations.

"Stop!" Li Jing roared.

The sound of ping-pong-pong gradually stopped, and the four thieves surrounding Captain Wang saw that Scarface not only failed to deal with the archer, but only one person remained, and was captured by the archer, the corners of their mouths twitched. .

"If you don't want him to die, stop immediately." Li Jing took back the horizontal knife from Xiao Shishi's hand, and the blade stuck tightly to Scarface's neck. Because it was too close, the blade cut the skin, leaving a red line Flowing down Scarface's neck.

Wearing a woman's wedding dress, the monkey-cheeked boss smiled instead of anger. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I have been in business for more than ten years, but today I was pecked by an eagle. Good, good, good!" When he was attracted by his words, the other three thieves who had already stopped attacked suddenly, pointing their swords and guns at the two young men behind Xiaowei Wang.Both of them had already relaxed just now, they were so haggard that they couldn't defend themselves, they screamed twice, and they were knocked down to the ground.

After the bandits knocked down the two young men, they didn't stop, but attacked Xiaowei Wang's back again. Enemy Si couldn't hold on any longer, the horizontal knife in his hand was dropped by the spear, and the tip of the gun with monkey cheeks pressed against his throat.

The other two bandits turned around and walked in front of the injured Wang Liang and others, and drove the unarmed wounded to Wang Xiaowei's side.

With a smirk on his face, he said, "Boy, you captured one of our brothers, but we captured seven of you. Be wise and let my brother go immediately."

Li Jing looked at the situation on the field, frowning slightly.The situation on the field is a bit delicate. On Li Jing's side, except for the five people who followed Li Jing's Xiaoshan and the others, all five of them were intact, and the remaining seven suffered injuries of varying severity, and all fell into the bandit's trap. hands.

On the other hand, the bandits initially targeted Captain Wang, giving him a chance to kill three of them with arrows.Later, Xiaoshan and Xigouzi killed two more, plus the wounded and scarred face they grabbed.Five of the ten bandits died, and one was controlled by them.There were only four left on the other side, but Li Jing had five.

"Let's let each other go, and then the road will turn into the sky, and each side will go." With seven people on his side in the hands of the other party, Li Jing couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and make a condition.

"It's okay to change people, but only one person at a time." Monkey cheeks smiled coldly.

Naturally, Li Jing could not agree to this request. Right now, he could only stop the bandits by relying on this prisoner.If they put him back, the other party will definitely kill all those who fell into their hands immediately to vent their anger.

"No, you have to release all of them, not even one less."

"Don't even think about it!"

The two sides disagreed with each other's conditions, and they held on for a while.Li Jing frowned. If they fought directly, the five of them would now have weapons, five long spears, and he himself had a sword, bow and arrow. With five against four, they could fight together.But now not only are five fellow villagers in the hands of the other party, but even two Shangguan are also in the hands of the other party.Once the other party kills the hostages first, even if he kills all the bandits at that time, there is no way to deal with the aftermath.

"Let go of the second boss." A bandit shouted loudly.Seeing that Li Jing was unmoved, that guy was heartbroken, and stabbed Wang Liang's thigh with a knife, and Wang Liang screamed like a pig being killed.

Seeing this, Li Jing didn't say anything, raised the knife and sliced ​​off one ear of the scarred face against the scalp.Li Jing is naturally not afraid of being ruthless.If the other party takes someone else's knife, he will still worry about it.But since the other party chose Wang Liang so desperately, Li Jing had no scruples.It would be best to force the opponent to kill Wang Liang, and he would save the trouble.

Scarface lost one of his ears, gasping for cold air, with a stubborn face: "If you want to cut off the other one..."

Before the words were finished, Li Jing raised the knife and cut off the remaining ear of the scarred face.

"Let our people go, step back twenty steps, and don't make me say it a second time." Li Jing shouted as hard as he could.

The cheeky face was also shocked by Li Jing's actions. They were the only bandits who licked blood with their knives, and compared themselves with others who didn't take human life seriously.But he didn't expect to meet a more ruthless one today.

"Brother, do it, kill these donkeys, avenge my brothers, kill them..." Scarface roared, the veins on his neck stood up, and his face was flushed.

The monkey's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his eyes were fixed on Li Jing like a knife.

Li Jing also kept staring at the monkey's face, and saw that he was trembling all over, and the knuckles of his fingers suddenly turned white.

Li Jing guessed that Monkey Cheek was about to do something, and quickly shouted at Captain Wang: "Do it!"

Li Xiaoshan, Xigouzi, Xiaoshitou, and Qiusheng had been paying close attention to Li Jing for a long time. When they heard him call for action, they immediately lowered their waists, twisted their hips and waved their arms, and shot the javelin straight away with a roar.

The four big guns did not shoot at four people separately, but were aimed at one person in groups of two.This is Li Jing's order just now, one person shoots one, although the attack range is wider, it is not safe.And when two people shoot one person, although they can only target two people, the chance of hitting can be doubled.In the current situation, as long as even one person can be shot and killed on the spot, it will be a great achievement.

Li Jing's judgment was very accurate. When he shouted the command to attack, the monkey cheek tightly gripped the handle of the knife, and he raised it fiercely to slash Wang Liang's neck at one side.At the time of Guan Jian, Captain Wang kicked fiercely. Although he was stabbed by another person, he missed the monkey-cheeked knife that would kill Wang Liang a little bit.The knife that was supposed to behead him ended up on Wang Liang's shoulder, cutting off one of his arms directly.

"Brother, kill all these donkeys and save Erdang..." Monkey shouted with a blood-stained sword in his face, but before he could finish speaking, suddenly a bloody arrow shot through his chest, Interrupt his words.The knife on Monkey Cheek's face was still lifted in the air, but it never fell again.He hummed a few times, then fell to his knees slumped.

Xiao Shitou and his four spears shot one person and killed him directly.Lieutenant Wang and other united recruits just pulled out the spears that Xiao Shishi and the others had shot, turned around and joined the remaining two bandits.Li Jing stretched his bow and set an arrow behind him, and when he saw the opportunity, he shot the arrow. After a while, he finally killed all the bandits.
