The cold wind is like a knife, the reeds and grasses fade, and the river turns into ice, and the birds and beasts mourn.
Snowflakes are flying, and the mountains and forests are deathly silent.
Qin Huaidao and his party moved forward cautiously, and gradually saw some wooden houses located near the water. The roofs were covered with thick grass and some white snow. Several families were smoking, quiet and peaceful, just like a paradise. If it weren't for
Knowing the situation, I thought I was in some kind of paradise.
Everyone stopped to observe. Qin Huaidao pointed to a commanding height and said: "Brother Xue, go and ambush over there. Luo Zhang, you will accompany and assist Brother Xue. If you see me touching my ears, shoot him. Remember, don't attack first."
, wait for me to confirm the identity so as not to kill the wrong person."
"Understood." The two agreed quickly.
"Brothers from the Cheng family, the three of you go around to the rear. If the fight starts, cover your faces to prevent exposure. Attack from both front and rear. Take action!" Qin Huaidao looked at the crowd and said.
"Be careful yourself." Cheng Chumo said, and the others also left.
It took time to go around. Qin Huaidao waited for a while, and after guessing that everyone was in place, he pulled up the towel around his neck to cover his face, and strode forward. The two Yuchi brothers quickly followed.
Not long after, the three of them came to the entrance of the village. Three big wolf dogs rushed out, barking wildly, attracting some people to watch. The three big wolf dogs did not pounce on them and bite them, but barked loudly from a distance. More people walked out of the village, holding in their hands
Holding various weapons, Qin Huaidao stopped and whispered: "Two brothers, the opponent has a bow, be careful. Once the fight starts, give priority to the person holding the bow. Take action quickly and keep moving to prevent cold arrows."
On the battlefield, archers are comparable to snipers and must be dealt with first.
The two brothers Yuchi and Baolin understood the reason and nodded in agreement.
"Stop, who are you?" A burly man stepped forward and shouted, holding a machete in his hand.
Qin Huaidao looked at the people who came out. They all had an evil aura about them and their eyes were cold, not like good people. There were no children, old people or women in the crowd. There were no women or children even peeking at the door of the wooden house. He believed Cui Shihai's words.
I'm afraid these people are really bandits.
Out of caution, Qin Huaidao decided to try again to avoid killing by mistake, and shouted: "Look for Ma Laosan!"
The name Ma Laosan was mentioned by Cui Shihai, and he was the bandit leader.
"Who are you?" the other party asked, not denying the existence of Ma Laosan.
Qin Huaidao said: "The Cui family asked me to come over and take you to do some business."
Seeing that there were only three people in Qin Huaidao and one or two hundred people on his side, the other party didn't take it seriously. He took a few steps forward and asked, "Why didn't I receive the news?"
"It's freezing cold, so the carrier pigeons may not have arrived." Qin Huaidao gave a nonsense reason.
The other party's expression changed and he said: "Nonsense, I never use homing pigeons for external communications. Who are you?"
Qin Huaidao became more and more sure, and his momentum was not weak at all, and shouted: "Master Cui Ren asked me to come here. I have a handwritten letter. If you read it, you will know the whole story. Why are you wasting so much words?"
The other party looked at the person next to him, who nodded and stepped forward to get the letter.
By now, Qin Huaidao was almost certain that he had found the wrong person, but he still tried to say: "The letter can only be given to Ma Lao San, and no one else can touch it. Let Ma Lao San come and get it."
"I am Mr. Ma!" the big man shouted.
When Qin Huaidao heard this, he smiled, with a bit of murderous intent, slowly raised his hand and touched his ears, as if he had returned to the special war years, so friendly and familiar.
"call out--"
An arrow flew past, like a stream of light, like lightning.
There is no warning, but it is extremely accurate.
The burly man's attention was all on Qin Huaidao. He didn't expect that there was an ambush in the woods nearby. In addition, the arrow was too fast and accurate. He was shot through the neck before he could avoid it. His body froze, but he didn't fall down immediately.
, but tightly covering his neck.
Qin Huaidao rushed up with a vigorous step, raised his knife and slashed to death the bandit who came to get the letter. He pointed his knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill -"
Yuchi and Baolin brothers also drew their swords decisively and rushed forward like two fierce tigers. The three of them formed an attack formation in tacit agreement and charged forward. Their swords were bright and cold as the cold wind, and they cut down several people in an instant.
"咻咻咻——"
Arrows roared from the nearby woods, specifically hunting down the bandits who tried to sneak attack Qin Huaidao and the others. This greatly reduced the pressure on the three of them, and they chased and killed the bandits.
This group of bandits lost the command of a sturdy man and became a mess. The advantage of many people could not be used. In a short time, more than 30 corpses were lying on the ground, of which more than ten were killed by arrows. Xue Rengui shot three arrows at a time, killing people efficiently.
It's so fast it's scary.
At this time, the three brothers Cheng Yaojin rushed up from behind, using their horseshoes to sweep away a large area with great ferocity. The bandits could not stop them, and they were instantly defeated. They turned around and ran towards
Go to the wooden house.
Qin Huaidao felt that his eyes were empty, and he was surprised when he saw the bandits scattered. Their fighting power was much worse than that of the dead soldiers, and even worse than the bandits from the Wang family. He shook his sword and shouted: "Follow me!"
Everyone rushed into the village following Qin Huaidao, and saw the bandits rushing out of the wooden house one by one, holding packages in their hands and preparing to run away. Qin Huaidao shouted: "Brother Yuchi, you two go guard the exit, and the Cheng brothers will kill me."
"Here!" Several people responded loudly.
Qin Huaidao rushed forward, chopped down one person with his sword, and kicked another person away with his flying kick. Then he saw the three brothers Cheng Chumo rushing up to fight. Ma Shan slashed, stabbed, and picked, one of them knocked down the other. Qin Huaidao was worried that the three of them would kill him.
I was so crazy that I couldn't hold back my hand, and I was attacked by a cold arrow. I quickly shouted: "Follow me, don't rush!"
The three people stopped quickly and looked back at Qin Huaidao, who was a little confused. Shouldn't fighting be done in one go?
Qin Huaidao didn't explain either. The Yuchi brothers were blocking the intersection, and Xue Rengui was hiding there, so no one was running. As for going up the mountain from other places in the cold weather, that was courting death. He rushed to a wooden house first and flew into the air.
Kick away and dodge quickly to avoid cold arrows.
After seeing that there was no cold arrow as expected, Qin Huaidao carefully looked around and saw that there was no one inside. There was a small bonfire burning on the ground for warmth and roasting food. Qin Huaidao immediately checked another room.
Cheng Chumo saw a large number of bandits trying to escape and said anxiously: "Brother, are they trying to escape?"
Seeing that Cheng Chumo didn't understand his tactical intention, Qin Huaidao had no choice but to explain: "Don't worry, it's better to let them run out. The bandits who are exposed are destined to die, and the ones who hide are the ones to be feared. Work in pairs, and check each house. You can't miss them, kick them."
Get out of the way behind the door, be careful of the cold arrows hidden inside." He said and rushed to the next room.
Cheng Chumo looked at the direction of the intersection. The two brothers Yuchi Baolin were blocked and could not get out. Xue Rengui and Luo Zhang were on the other side, and they could not escape unless they took the back mountain. The back mountain was a dense forest and it was not difficult to escape. He reminded
: "Brother Qin, many bandits have gone to the back mountains and cannot be pursued."
"What are you afraid of? There is snow on the ground and traces of people's passing. Where can you escape?" Qin Huaidao explained.
"Hey, that makes sense, Chu Liang, follow brother Qin, Chu Bi, follow me." Cheng Chumo reacted, rushed to the door of a room, kicked it violently, and was about to rush in when he felt someone pulling him behind him.
, almost fell down, and saw an arrow whizzing away, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful of cold arrows? Why are you so anxious?" Cheng Chubi reminded.
"Straight bitch, don't fight with me." Cheng Chumo was furious and rushed forward. Ma Shan got up from his hand and rushed into the wooden house with a roar like a dragon entering a cave.
"Ah——" A scream sounded.
Cheng Chumo rushed into the wooden house and came out soon. His horse was covered with blood and his face was ashen. He was obviously very angry because he was almost hit by an arrow. He was like a mad tiger rushing towards another wooden house.
"Stay steady!" Cheng Chubi shouted worriedly and hurried to follow.
Qin Huaidao was startled when he heard the shouting. Seeing that Cheng Chumo rushed to the door of a wooden house without rushing in, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cheng Chuliang: "I'll kick the door. You watch carefully and rush in if you have the chance."
