Chapter 96 The Trouble of Ishii Village
(Although there are still two chapters today, it is more than 8,000 words. Some brothers said that the update is a little slow, but the cold wind thinks he is still working very hard. After all, now I have problems with my waist and back. I dare not sit for too long, and the typing is slow, so I try to ensure the update speed of more than 6,000 words every day. For me, now I've already worked hard! Please forgive me!)
Zhang Yan sat under the flag of the army and looked at the small village in front of him with a depressed face. Obviously, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers under his command surrounded this pole of only more than 200 people, but he actually attacked three times in a row. He not only did not defeat the small village, but lost all three battles, which also made him lose one. Mr. General, this matter is really too weird.
And these bandits are very tenacious. No matter how he surrenders he surrenders, they don't want to surrender. It seems that the bastard is determined to fight for it. Such a strong pole is really rare. What's more strange to him is that the guy equipped with this pole is very strange. They are not like the poles they met before, a group of The rabble, the equipped guy has everything, and this pole seems to be well-trained. The arms are very simple, that is, the three arms are the knife player, the long gunner and the fireman. However, when they are in a group, the combat effectiveness is quite terrible. When he led the troops to chase them, he sent dozens of cavalry to attack them once, but Unexpectedly, he didn't break them away. He was hit by a row of birds and was knocked over several times. Then a long gun array was discharged, and he actually hit dozens of his cavalry.
This made Zhang Yan depressed enough. After arriving here, he saw that he had surrounded the group of thieves. He thought he could take them down with a drum, but he didn't expect that the result would be like this.
"Rice bucket, you are all rice buckets. You are just a little thief. You went up one by one, but you were all beaten and escaped back. What a shame! Get out of here!" Zhang Yan cursed angrily at the generals in front of him.
"Gover, it's not that we can't do it, but that these poles are really too fierce. Their cooperation is very strong. As soon as we get close to them, we will release them, and we play very accurately. Even the rattan cards can't stop it nearby, and there are people on both sides who keep shooting arrows. As soon as we get to the entrance of the village, they rush out. With such a dense long gun, we can't rush in at all!" One of his men explained vibly.
"No matter what, they are also a group of thieves. We are officers and soldiers, and the number of troops is almost ten times more than them. In two days, even they can't take it. Who believes this? Where is my mother's face? Zhang Yan continued to get angry.
"Yes, Zhang Guerrilla, this matter is really a little unreasonable, but this time when we destroy these thieves, by the way, we might as well find some more exiles and make them... click! After going back, let's say that we have more than a thousand bandits, but it's still a great success!" An officer among Zhang Yan's subordinates said to Zhang Yan with an obscene face.
Everyone understands that this guy is suggesting that if Zhang Yan can't do it, just find some exiles to kill them. Even if the thief's head is worthless, as long as there are enough, he can still get promoted and get rich. This reward is still indispensable. It's much better than fighting with the Taranzi!
Zhang Yan looked at the sky helplessly and did not deny the advice of this, but said, "That's all! First take down this village and destroy these thieves. It's late today, so let the brothers rest first! Otherwise, if you force them to fight again, it will be bad! Go and guard this village for me. You can't let them slip away at night, especially in that ditch. Send people over there to stare at them. It's really unlucky. How can I run into such a tricky thing!"
At the end of the day, the attack was frustrated three times in a row. Obviously, the morale of the officers and soldiers was not high. Obviously, they had a huge advantage, and this Zhuangzi was less than a foot high. They couldn't get in, which made all the officers and soldiers a little depressed. At the same time, the people who went into battle were a little scared, because these thieves were really It's too fierce. It's lifeless to fight in a war. The long gunners and knife players cooperate with each other, which makes them unable to do anything at all. The brothers in front of them die so fast. They harvest people's lives like cutting rice. On this day, more than a hundred brothers have lost their lives at the entrance of the village, and no one wants to be the next one.
When they heard that Zhang guerrilla ordered to recruit troops and no longer attack, everyone was relieved. They quickly cleaned up and began to retreat to the camp. No one wanted to touch the moldy head of this Xiaozhuang anymore.
Luo Li stood at the entrance of the village and watched the officers and soldiers retreat. He was also relieved for a long time. To put it bluntly, it was still his problem. This time, the grain he came out to fight was not small, but he was greedy and wanted to do another ticket by the way. As a result, the last Zhuangzi was blocked. Not only did he not beat Zhuangzi, but the nearby The officers and soldiers were attracted all the way.
Fortunately, it was he who made a sharp decision and let Shi Ran return to the mountain with a large number of weights. After he led the sentry brothers to break behind, he attracted these officers and soldiers here. Otherwise, Shi Ran and others with so many weights, it was really not easy to get rid of the officers and soldiers.
However, his good luck was also used up when he got here, because he was not familiar with the terrain. When they came here, they found that there was such a deep ditch in front of him. There was no time to pass, so the officers and soldiers caught up with him, so he was forced to control the small village first, with the low wall of the village. For the fortifications, it temporarily blocked the siege of the officers and soldiers.
If it weren't for this, even if he and his men could fight again, they would not last long if they were surrounded by the enemy ten times theirs. Now, although it was not taken by the officers and soldiers, it is estimated that it will not last long.
After all, they only brought two tiger squat guns with them. The cannons, bowls and tiger squat guns on the side of the army are much more than them. They are not the opponents of the officers and soldiers at all.
More than 200 men, after two days of fierce fighting, nearly half of the casualties have been killed, and the rest of the soldiers are also exhausted. If the officers and soldiers attack again, he really can't guarantee that he can repel them again.
Looking at the bodies of the officers and soldiers lost on the ground outside the entrance of the village, Luo Li sighed slightly and looked at the southeast mountain pass. It seemed that he and his men might not be able to leave it here this time. Even if Shi Ran reported back, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to rescue him. I'm afraid it was too late. At most, he will stick to it all morning tomorrow morning. If the officers and soldiers are fierce, they will not be able to hold on here anyway, but he is not very sorry. In two days, they have killed at least more than 200 officers and soldiers, which is basically enough. Even if they die tomorrow, they will pull some more cushions. Why do they have to be officials? Soldiers have to pay a higher price.
The villagers in the small village squeezed into a corner in horror. They did not dare to run out and whether they should help these thieves. There were more than a dozen bodies not far from the well in the middle of the village. They were the men of two rich families in the village. When Luo Li led his troops to avoid this village, The two rich families gathered the villagers and tried to prevent them from entering the village. As a result, they not only failed to stop them, but also became Luo Li's swordsman.
Luo Li inspected his men and arranged for someone to move the bodies of more than a dozen brothers into the village and put them on an open space. At the same time, he arranged for some wounded to treat the wounds. The medical staff in his sentry team had been killed before entering the village. At present, he has no medical staff and can only rely on himself. I took action to deal with the wounds of the wounded.
There is a shortage of doctors and medicine here. After the wounded were injured, it was difficult to get timely rescue. Several seriously injured people quickly died and were carried to the morgue.
The morale in the army is also relatively low. Everyone seems to realize that this may be the last night of their lives. It is still about a hundred miles away from Lianhua Village. Although Shi Ran has entered the mountain in advance, he will definitely send someone to report what happened here to their master Xiao Tianjian, but Xiao Tian Can Jianneng get here so soon? Everyone didn't have much confidence in this. They lowered their heads and held their weapons, quietly listening to the wounded brothers moaning there.
"Don't be dejected. Let me tell you, we have played a lot of prestige today, and the officers and soldiers are eating a lot in front of us! Don't be discouraged. Our Xingtian army is all iron-legged. If our general hears the news, he will definitely lead the troops to come to save us. Maybe they are on their way now. Brothers, hold on a little longer. If you survive tomorrow, the general will definitely bring troops to save us!
This evening, the big guy had a good meal of meat, killed the pigs of the two rich families, and had a good energy. Get up tomorrow, and then work with the officers and soldiers. After I go back, I will personally ask my brothers for credit! I won't let my brothers do it for nothing!" Luo Li stood in the Zhuangmen and shouted loudly to his men.
After listening to Luo Li's words, the mood of the people began to become a little relaxed. Several nervous guys immediately took the order and ran to drag out the pigs fed by the two rich families. The white knife went in and the red knife came out, then put the pig on the ground and found a big pot, even the hair on the pig did not fade. Then he unloaded the pig and threw it into the pot, and the shelf began to cook.
After Luo Li arranged people to keep an eye on the officers and soldiers outside, he paced to the villagers in the village.
As soon as the villagers saw the fierce pole head, they were so scared that they squeezed together desperately. Luo Li was covered with blood and his face was splashed with blood spots, which really looked ferocious and terrible.
After taking a look at these frightened villagers, Luo Li said loudly to them, "I'm sorry for you today!" But it's no wonder that we are also forced by the government to live. That's why we came here just to avoid it. We don't intend to harm you, and you don't have to be afraid. The reason for killing those people is that they don't know what's good or bad and want to help the government deal with us, as long as you don't oppose us. We will never harm you!
I also tell you that since we are here, the officers and soldiers will definitely not let you go. If you want to escape, I won't stop you. If you want to leave now, just leave, but don't blame me for not warning you. What are the officers and soldiers? I know that if you escape, you will definitely be killed by them, so I advise you that it is better to help us withstand the attack of the officers and soldiers. If you do that, there may be a way to survive! To be honest, my big boss hasn't come yet, but I believe that our big boss will definitely come. As long as our big boss comes, he will definitely save us all.
The only way for you to live at the time is to expect us to stand up for a longer time. When our reinforcements arrive, everyone can live!
If anyone doesn't believe it, you might as well go out and have a try to see if what I said is right. Even if we are thieves, we are much stronger than those officers and soldiers! At least we don't harm poor people like you!
Okay, that's all I have to say. You can think about it yourself! If you want to leave, you can go. If you don't want to leave, we have eaten meat and cooked. You can also come and get some food and bake some cakes. Let's eat together!
There is a saying, what do you say? Our big head always tells us that it seems that we are in the same boat! Yes, it's the same boat. We are all in the same boat now. If we turn over, everyone will die together!"
After saying that, Luo Li turned around and left, returned to his subordinates, and visited and comforted the wounded.
And the people looked at each other in consters. At first, no one dared to move, but after a while, they saw that no one came to harm them, so some people began to believe what the pole said.
They know very well what the officers and soldiers are. Over the years, they have seen a lot of officers and soldiers killing good deeds. Even if they haven't seen it, at least they have heard more. If they really let them escape now, they really don't dare. Those officers and soldiers can be said to be unscrupulous to abuse women, and there is a rumor in the world. In a way, it is said that there is also a kind of special craft among the officers and soldiers, that is, to decorate a woman's head like a man's head, so that the officials who inspect the head can't recognize it, so they can also use the woman's head to take credit for reward. People who can do such a craft are extremely popular among the officers and soldiers, and there are people who eat and drink everywhere. Stay with them.
So although they hate these thieves for disturbing their peaceful lives and forcing them to die, they are also afraid of officers and soldiers. If officers and soldiers come in, they may die worse.
After thinking about this matter, some bold villagers stood up and carefully came to the Xingtian army. Some people reached out to help take care of the wounded. Some people went to hold firewood and help cook, and some people went to get some food and asked women to pat cakes or cook. Gradually, the villagers also accepted their fate. At present, they can only believe the words of these thieves and work together with them. They can also escape this disaster by counting on the reinforcements of the thieves. Otherwise, they will definitely be rushed in and killed by the officers and soldiers, and then be taken by the heads of the officers and soldiers for credit.
No one wants his head to become the trophy of others, just for the idea of survival, and also forcing these villagers to temporarily stand on the united front with these thieves.
