Chapter 8: The Magpie (Seven)

"Listen, the people inside, quickly open the door and hand over Miss Chang Er! I will have the virtue of being alive, but I can't wait until I die!" Under a shield five feet away from the gate, the hundred infantry soldiers raised their chests and pulled their backs, and issued an ultimatum with pride.

The feather arrow needs at least ten steps to be shot. Even if there is a Yang Yao Foundation hidden inside, it cannot hurt him. So he can relieve the panic he had just been held in his stomach before his soldiers were ready to hit the door. (Note 2)

However, "surprise" always falls from the sky when people are so proud. Through a high wall, the feather arrows really cannot hurt him, but the bricks are not subject to this restriction. Before he could finish his words, more than a dozen blue-gray bricks came into the air. They crackled and smashed him and the sword and shield soldiers around him.

"Protect the general and protect the general!" Several people who had a good relationship with Li Jin quickly snatched the shield and rushed over, protecting the man tightly, so as not to "died before they succeeded."

The facts that happened next proved that their actions were purely self-indulgent. More bricks leaped over the wall, but the target was not Li Jin at all. Instead, they fell irregularly towards other soldiers who were about to carry a "hammer" to smash the door, smashing them all over their heads.

"oops!"

"Mom!"

"My feet, my feet, are immoral. How can you fight with bricks!"

...

The morale of the "bandits" who didn't even dare to fight the official banner was already extremely low. Many people even had strong resistance in their hearts. They had to follow others to follow the crowd because they were afraid of being dealt with by military law. After being beaten to the front and beaten up, everyone immediately became a mess at the gate of the Taoist temple. You pushed me, I squeezed you, hiding from all over the place. The spear that had been tied was thrown on the ground again, and was repeatedly stepped on by countless big feet, and was trampled in pieces.

"Stop it all, stop me. The sword and shield soldiers, the sword and shield soldiers reorganized, protect, and protect the spear soldiers' heads. The spear soldiers, the spear soldiers were in the central group, lifted up the hammer. Don't run, don't run, don't run, the bricks can't kill people, hurry up and arrange the array!" In the chaotic team like a group of ants moving, the infantry and a hundred generals, Li Jin, poked out his bloody head again, his helmet tilted to one side, a green bag was formed on the forehead, and most of the front teeth were broken, "Let me line up and rush to the door. Everyone obeyed the orders, the first one would be rewarded. The title and honor were three times, and the official promotion was promoted - Oh!"

A cold arrow that flew from unknown where it poked hard on his left shoulder, pushed him back and fell down.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh!" More feather arrows shot down from the roof of the Welcoming Hall of the Taoist Temple, and put the confidants and leaders around him one by one to the ground.

Taking advantage of the time the people of the people bought bricks, the generals of Chang's family and the hunters who had been scared to pee their pants had already climbed up the roof of the Yingbin Hall together. They were descending from a high place, and arrows were flying like locusts.

The Welcoming Hall was originally dedicated to the incense money for monks to collect in the door. It was only twenty steps away from the gate and was built in a very magnificent manner. The height of the roof of the hall was also more than meter higher than the gate due to the double terrain and the building itself. People standing on the roof could easily see the people at the gate and bend their bows and shoot calmly. However, those standing at the gate wanted to fight back, but the arrows shot were affected by the dual influence of height and wind, and they were greatly attenuated regardless of their strength and accuracy.

Within a few breaths, more than a dozen bandits at the door were released. However, their hastily counterattack did not even touch half of the hair on the roof. Suddenly, the morale that was left was completely reduced. Everyone screamed, lifted the injured and unconscious people and staggered backwards. In a blink of an eye, they retreated two hundred steps away from the gate, leaving only a spear, a pavilion, a shield, and more than twenty bloody corpses on the ground.

"Open the door and pick up the weapons abandoned by the thief!" Fu Yaozi, who was standing on the top of the Sanqing Temple, raised his hand and wiped his forehead and shouted a loud command.

In the short half of the incense stick just now, his heart beat up and fell, and he jumped up again, so nervous that he could hardly provide blood to his body normally. But when the enemy retreated in panic, he was surprised to find that his heart of Tao, which had been stagnant for many years, suddenly began to loosen again. Perhaps it would not take too long to get to the next level.

Not only him, he was very helpful because of the local small victory. All the powerful people in the Taoist temple also felt that they were very different from before. It turned out that those murderers were cruel on the surface, but in fact they were even more cowardly than cowards. It turned out that war was not that terrible; it turned out that murderers would die if they were arrowed, and they would cry for pain if they were hit by bricks...

Inspired by victory, everyone quickly opened the door of the Taoist temple. In front of the enemy, they calmly picked up weapons and shields from the ground, and then stabbed the wounded soldiers who were rolling and wailing in the pool of blood to completely solve their pain.

"Put down that shameful guy down and behead him, and keep his head hanging! He has to take me over the head and still alive!" The defense party was very excited, but the attacking party was full of sorrow. The minions of Li Hongruhen, who was commanding the army, embarrassed himself in front of outsiders, and carried out military laws on the leaders of the defeated soldiers without hesitation.

"Yes!" Immediately, four personal soldiers rushed into the defeated team, pulled Li Jin without saying a word, cut off his head with one knife, and picked up the high pole. More personal soldiers pulled up the heads of the two still alive from the crowd, put the knife on their necks and held them in front of the coach, waiting for the defeat.

"Take off your bottom clothes, take twenty people in public, and then demote them to ordinary soldiers and make meritorious service!" Li Hongru turned a deaf ear to the begging for mercy of both heads, and gritted his teeth to issue a disposal order.

This result is slightly better than beheading in public, but it is also very limited. Not to mention that after being stripped naked in public, both of them could no longer raise their heads in front of their companions, and their career will be ruined. The next time they launch an attack, they will have to endure the pain and rush to the front. Ninety (100) are going but not going back.

"The others all put down their weapons and shields, acted as death soldiers, and raised their hammers to hit the door! If anyone fled without fighting, they will be executed on the spot!" Li Hongru was still confused and swept his eyes to the other defeated soldiers, with murderous aura on his face.

Now, someone suddenly burst into tears on the spot. With shield protection and archers just now, they suffered more than 10% of their casualties. If there were no protection and cover measures, wouldn’t everyone have lost all their lives?

However, Li Hongru did not dare to leave any mercy to them anymore. Triangle Eye was next to him and sneered. A little further away, there were a large number of experts sent by Guo Yunming to watch. If he did not act ruthlessly and decisively, even if he finally won the victory today, he would probably leave a cowardly and useless impression on both the masters of Triangle Eye and Guo Yunming. In that way, not only would all his previous efforts turn into an instant, but he would have lost the possibility of occupying a place in the upcoming Han court!

"Liu Zhaoan, you bring two more hundred-man teams. Li Fang, bring people to carry the trunks that have just been cut down. Liu Hulu, you put all the wastes that have just been removed in front of the formation, and let the responsible person carry the tree to hit the door! If you don't follow, kill them!" After quickly weighing the importance, Li Hongru turned his gaze to his deputy generals and his hardcore confidants, and ordered in a hoarse voice. "I don't care what methods you use. In half an hour, you must take down the entire Taoist temple and bring Miss Chang Er to me without any damage and bring him to Lord Wang!"

"Get orders!" Liu Zhaoan agreed loudly, taking the lead in bowing to Triangle Eye. "Please close your eyes and rest. Within half an hour, I will definitely ask you to go to the Sanqing Palace to rest!"

"Little bastard, you are so clever!" He was already covered in frost on his face and immediately grinned. Xuxu kicked forward and added loudly, "Go, our family hopes you are not talking. If you can do it, our family guarantees you will be upgraded to three levels in a row!"

"Thank you for your promotion! Thank you for your cultivation!" Liu Zhaoan bowed obediently and bowed to Triangle Eye and Li Hongru one after another.

After being promoted to two levels in a row, he can go from being the current deputy general of the infantry to being the deputy commander of the infantry. He does not have to lead the way when charging, nor does he have to cut off the back when turning. The chances of dying on the battlefield are greatly reduced, but the chances of being promoted to the position have increased exponentially. So he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But in the surprise, he did not dare to forget his boss. After all, Li Hongru is not capable, and he is still a relative of the Han princess. In the future, he will only be faster than himself, and he will never be slower than himself.

"Well, go, don't embarrass me, and don't let Lord Wang down!" Seeing that his confidant knew how to grasp the right position, Bu Zhu smiled and twisted his beard, "Come on, please cheer for General Liu and the others!"

"Yes!" The soldiers around him agreed in unison. They waved the steel knife and hit the shield wrapped in iron sheet on the surface. "Bang, Bang, Bang!" The monotonous and repeated knocking sounded again, not as loud as before, but ten times more murderous intent. And behind each round of knocking sound, it seemed that there was a determination that never returned.

"Brothers, follow me!" Liu Zhaoan, deputy general of the infantry, took a deep breath, held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and strode forward. He didn't have to look back, so naturally someone trotted to follow. He didn't have to mobilize too much. With Li Jin's bloody head and more than 180 weapons taken away, he could only carry the dead soldiers who had just cut down the trunk and hit the door. Everyone behind him knew what they should do.

"With the slightest, with the slightest, with the slightest!" The sound of the blade and the shield colliding one after another, so depressing that it makes people unable to breathe.

"Dangdangdang, Dangdangdang, slam, um, um..." The attacker refused to let the attacker beauties beside him. In the Taoist temple, a water and land dojo was once again made of iron bells, gongs, cymbals, and wooden fish. The sarcasm was sarcastic, and the sound of the shield hitting was intermittent, causing the attacker's soldiers to be upset and their feet became weak.

However, when the two armies fought, they were not the ones who competed with the louder military music. Although the water and land dojo in the Taoist temple far suppressed the sound of swords and shields fighting outside. The distance between the bandits and the gate of the Taoist temple was quickly shortened again. Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps...

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." The archers standing on the roof of the Welcoming Hall took the lead in launching a strike at the enemy.

Seven or eight "dead soldiers" carrying the trunks screamed and fell down. The attacking team paused slightly at first, but immediately accelerated the speed. Deputy General Liu Zhaoan personally rushed behind the dead soldiers, waved his steel knife to chop at the hesitant one. More than sixty archers put the feather arrows on the bow arms, not aiming at the Changfu generals and hunters standing at the high place, but aiming at their own robes carrying the trunk at the front of the team.
