Chapter Thirteen: Slaying the Lame with a Sword
"Shoot an arrow! Shoot an arrow in the direction where the fire is extinguished!"
Chen Xunping shouted, and at the same time he took out another arrow feather in his hand and shot it in the direction where Ma Lailai was walking.
Whoosh… whoosh!
After a round of arrows was fired, different sounds of pain came from the darkness dozens of steps away from the cart.
Then a second round of arrows was fired, but this time there was no wailing sound from that direction, only the dull sound of arrows hitting the soil.
Seeing that the people in the darkness had retreated, Chen Xunping stood up, walked to the crippled Ma, kicked him hard, and at the same time cursed angrily: "You fucking dare to trick us!"
Ma Lailai was kicked to the ground. He was stunned and looked outside the cart with a look of disbelief.
At this moment, those who came with Ma Lao Lai took out the weapons they had hidden in advance and rushed towards Liu Heng, Chen Xunping and the other leaders.
Before these people could rush over, they heard the sound of a series of weapons entering the body.
Yang Yuan, who had already led people to guard against them, directly led people to kill these people on the spot when they were about to take action.
Ma Lailai lay on his side on the ground for a long time without standing up, muttering in his mouth: "It's not like this, it's not like this... Zheng Daqiu, you are a bitch and you are trying to harm me!"
Yang Yuan strode over and slapped Ma Laime hard on the face twice, causing bloodshot eyes from the corners of his mouth.
After being slapped twice, Lao Ma regained his clarity of mind. He hurriedly crawled towards Liu Heng and kept saying: "Liu Tou, I was wrong, I was wrong. All this was arranged by Zheng Daqiu. I
I don’t know anything, I was also deceived by him, please let me go!”
Two lines of clear tears mixed with snot flowed down.
Liu Heng stepped back in disgust and asked, "You said all this was arranged by Zheng Daqiu, how can I believe you?"
At this time, Ma Lao Lai still dares to remember what Liu Heng did to him before. Now he just wants to survive. He told everything in detail, including Shi Yunhu killing Wu Xiazi and the others and completely controlling the rogue bandits.
Things about the camp.
Liu Heng stared at Ma Lailai and said: "So Zheng Daqiu was sent by Shi Yunhu to kill me?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ma Lailai nodded repeatedly, "Not only did Zheng Daqiu bring 200 people, but Ma Yunjiu's cavalry also came with him."
Chen Xunping looked at Liu Heng and said, "Grandma, since Shi Yunhu wants to kill us, we might as well rebel against him. Now that we need people, food and food, we can't gain a foothold wherever we go."
Yang Yuan on the side also said: "Shi Yunhu is unkind, let's just do it ourselves. I know that there is a Daliang Mountain Range in Datong to the west. We can go there and occupy the mountain as king, and the forests there are very deep. Even if
Even if the officers and soldiers want to clear it out, they can't do it."
"I know Daliang Mountain, and as long as Liu Tou is willing, I am willing to follow Liu Tou and lead the way." Ma Lao Lai hurriedly expressed his position and explained his usefulness.
Liu Heng smiled at Ma Laime, raised the knife and put it down, with a flash of silver light.
Ma Lao Lai's big head rolled to the ground, and until his death he still didn't understand why Liu Heng suddenly killed him.
"I don't dare to keep people like you. You might poison my food." Liu Heng wiped the blood on the knife with Ma Laime's clothes, then turned to Chen Xunping and the others and said, "What matters now is
How to force Zheng Daqiu and Ma Yunjiu back, we can wait until we resolve the immediate troubles to discuss other matters."
Killing did not make Liu Heng feel any discomfort. In his predecessor's memory, this was not the first time he had killed someone.
Chen Xunping and Yang Yuan were not surprised at all that Ma Laocai was killed. When Ma Laocai brought Zheng Daqiu and the others over, his fate was already destined.
"What do you want to do? We listen to you." After getting food, Chen Xunping was very convinced of Liu Heng. He believed that Liu Heng would have a way to solve the current crisis.
Although Yang Yuan did not speak, he looked at Liu Heng with the same convincing eyes, waiting for Liu Heng to come up with his idea.
Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "We have an advantage in terms of numbers, but Zheng Daqiu and the others have the advantage in terms of strength, and Ma Yunjiu's cavalry is still there. If we rush out to fight and fight, it will be us who suffer the loss. Look at the refugee recruits under my command."
It looks good, but it doesn’t have much strength. It’s okay to defend with the help of a car formation, but if it leaves the convoy, Ma Yunjiu’s cavalry will collapse as soon as they charge, and there will be no fighting power left.”
Chen Xunping said: "You mean we use these big cars to guard here?"
"Yes, let's defend and wait for them to attack." Liu Heng nodded and said: "Since Shi Yunhu wants us to die, Zheng Daqiu can't just watch us stay here, otherwise Shi Yunhu's temperament will never let him off easily.
.”
"What if Shi Yunhu brings people to encircle and suppress us? Now Shi Yunhu is in charge of several battalions of troops, totaling five to six hundred people." Yang Yuan said worriedly.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "I guess Shi Yunhu has some scruples and doesn't dare to attack us blatantly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to wait until we return to camp to take action? I think that although Shi Yunhu annexed Wu Xiazi and Zhou Heilian's troops this time, he didn't
If we can completely subjugate them, Zheng Daqiu would not have sent us overnight to intercept and kill us."
"You still have an idea. After hearing what you said, I felt much more relaxed." Chen Xunping relaxed.
Liu Heng smiled and said: "Okay, follow my instructions and go down. Everyone should be careful and not leave the grain truck to form a car formation."
"Understood, I'll inform the corps commanders of the refugee recruits." After saying that, Yang Yuan retreated to deliver the news.
…
Zheng Daqiu's face looked very ugly.
According to his original plan, after Ma Laocai led the people in, those who went with Ma Laocai began to take action. The people he sent to follow Ma Laocai and the others took the opportunity to cover up and kill Liu Heng and the others in one fell swoop.
All food.
But now there has been no movement from Ma Laolai's side. The people he sent were shot to death and injured by archers from the direction of the cart before they could get close to the cart. If he hadn't made these people retreat in time, there would still be no more casualties.
There will be more.
"Zheng Tou, Ma Tou leader calls you over." A bandit came to Zheng Daqiu and said.
"I know." Zheng Daqiu responded in a muffled voice, turned around and walked towards Ma Yunjiu.
Ma Yunjiu is riding on a horse, with an iron helmet and cotton armor, a waist knife on his waist, a riding bow at hand, and an arrow pot on his back.
Ma Yunjiu, who was riding on horseback, looked at Zheng Daqiu condescendingly and said, "Ma Lao has been lame for so long and there has been no movement. It seems that your method is not working. What are you going to do next?"
Zheng Daqiu said with a bitter face: "I didn't expect that the other party would be so cautious. The people I sent to follow were shot back by arrows before they could get close. Now we can only wait for news from Ma Laolai. If we send
The people around him can kill Liu Heng and several leaders of the Archer Camp, so the rest of the guys are nothing to be afraid of."
Ma Yunjiu thought for a while and said: "I'll give you another half hour. There will be no news from Ma Laime after half an hour. You know what to do yourself. Shi Daqi doesn't have that much time left for you.
"
"I understand, I understand." Zheng Daqiu nodded repeatedly.
