Under the moonlight, beside the campfire, Xue Rengui stood up and pounced on the leader like a cheetah, trying to capture the thief first.
The ten team members who protected the village rushed forward without hesitation, using Xue Rengui as the arrow to form a triangular attack formation. The knives in their hands were even more fierce and fast, and they went straight to the fatal point. They used the breaking edge taught by Qin Huaidao. Eight swords, the moves are wide open and closed, simple, direct, fierce, and most suitable for close combat.
When Shen Mei and others saw that Xue Rengui and others not only did not escape, nor did they delay, but rushed to kill them, they were not afraid of death, and they were a little confused for a moment. They were two to three hundred well-trained top killers, not just a mob.
However, in an instant everyone realized that they were completely wrong. Although Xue Rengui only had about ten people, he was like a sharp knife stabbing into the enemy group, killing them one after another and falling down, screaming in agony, and no one could stop him. Even the leader was retreating steadily.
This scene shocked Shen Mei and others. It felt very unreal. Who is the killer? Who is surrounding whom? And the leader is the top expert in Fengyu Tower. He can't stop Xue Rengui's attack. How is this possible?
The next moment, countless crossbow bolts suddenly appeared all around, like countless venomous snakes emerging from the grass, never ending. What's even weirder is that the crossbow bolts only attack the thighs, not the vital parts, knocking down a large number of them in the blink of an eye. What is this? ?Others looked at Shen Mei one after another, with blank eyes.
Shen Mei was also at a loss. There were countless crossbow arrows sneaking up on the outside, and there were people in the middle who were killing people. Is it possible to keep all these Fengyulou killers behind? Thinking of this, Shen Mei became even more uneasy, and finally reacted, shouting: "Follow me." Fight in and join them."
At this point, either you die or I die, so I can only kill you.
They were all killers. They quickly understood the situation and followed Shen Mei in. However, they were quickly blocked by a group of killers who were equally matched and it was difficult to break in for a while.
Among the enemy group, Xue Rengui opened and closed a long knife widely, cutting down the people in front of him one after another, and a dog-legged knife struck out like a poisonous snake, killing those who came close. His fighting spirit was soaring, and the two members of the team protecting the village were One group, back to back, one person is in charge of defense and one person is in charge of attack. Each three groups forms a small triangle, and the whole group forms a large triangle formation. The advance and retreat are well-founded, and the cooperation is tacit, so that the overall strength can be fully exerted.
The Fengyulou killer saw that he could not take down Xue Rengui and others in the crowd in a short period of time, and there were countless crossbow arrows sneak attacks outside. He was a little panicked for a moment, but the leader was not willing to give in, and immediately adjusted his tactics and divided into half to chase and kill the people hiding around. The remaining people continued to attack fiercely, trying to capture it all at once.
Although Xue Rengui and others cooperated tacitly, had ruthless sword skills, and dared to risk their lives, there were still too few people and too many killers. They relied on their formations to block them. During the fight, Xue Rengui showed his courage and cut down several people, took a few steps back, and joined Pao Ze. Then he shouted: "Form a circle and fight to the death."
The formation changed instantly and they formed a group. No one had to worry about the enemy behind them. They only had to focus on the enemy in front. The combat effectiveness increased again. Xue Rengui shouted: "Shen Mei, bring someone here."
"Follow the order." Seeing that Xue Rengui had not abandoned her, Shen Mei felt inexplicably warm in her heart. She led the others in a fierce attack, opened an opening and rushed forward to join together. The circle expanded and its power increased again.
The killer leader went crazy and roared: "Shen Mei, you crazy woman, traitor, I'm going to skin you alive, hurry up, kill them all..."
"Boohoo!"
Suddenly, countless crossbow bolts whizzed in, dense as rain, and also went straight to the lower thighs, clearly showing the way to catch people alive. The killers heard the terrifying sound of crossbow bolts, and the screams that kept ringing around them, and they were all horrified. They all looked back and saw that countless torches appeared from all around and countless black shadows rushed towards them.
The killer leader didn't expect there was anyone else. He had clearly investigated just now, but now was not the time to get entangled. He saw that there was something wrong and quickly shouted: "No, retreat with me!"
The killers dispersed in a hurry, but Luo Zhang and his men rushed up and surrounded them on three sides, leaving only a gap. The leader of the killers did not think much and rushed towards the gap with the remaining men at a very fast speed.
Luo Zhang rushed up with his people. After seeing that Xue Rengui was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked excitedly: "Good guy, there are so many, are they really the killers of Fengyu Tower?"
"You can't make a mistake, act according to the plan." Xue Rengui sheathed the knife and looked coldly at the direction where the killer was fleeing.
Shen Mei thought they were going to be chased, so she volunteered: "Sir, it's my responsibility, I will go after them."
"No need, take them and evacuate quickly, find a place to hide, go to the city after dawn, come to my house to find me, you can't participate in what happens next." Xue Rengui refused, there was a big drama behind it, Shen Mei was involved. , once exposed, it will affect the Protectorate.
Shen Mei was a little unwilling and wanted to make atonement for her sins, but Xue Rengui gave the order, using the word "can't", not "don't". There is a big difference between the two. Guessing that something big was going on, she hurriedly left with a few other people.
Luo Zhang looked at Shen Mei who was leaving: "Is she Shen Mei?"
"Yes, I was quite cooperative tonight and can be trusted."
"That's good, I'll take the people to evacuate first?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Go ahead and be careful."
Luo Zhang nodded and shouted: "Come here, knock the injured prisoners unconscious, bandage them briefly, and take them all away."
"Obey the order!" Everyone took the order and took action.
The team members who were ambushing the village came out of the bunker one after another and gathered around them. Their eyes were wild and excited. Xue Rengui asked with concern: "Is everything okay?"
Several squad leaders shook their heads and said, "Our squad is fine."
"As long as it's okay, just pick up the weapons and take them away. Don't leave a crossbow bolt at the scene. Clean everything carefully." Xue Rengui warned, taking the weapons back for later use, but don't leave the crossbow arrows at the scene, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Everyone agreed and quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
Xue Rengui looked towards the enemy's escape direction, estimated that time was almost up, and fired two rockets at the same time.
On the hillside in the distance, Li Derjian had heard the sound of killing for a long time. Thinking that the Fengyu Tower killer had really come, he was so excited that he tried his best to hold it back for fear of ruining Xue Rengui's plan. After seeing the two rockets, he was overjoyed and roared murderously. He said: "Come here, beat the drum and deliver the order."
"Dong dong dong!"
A deep drum beat sounded and spread all around.
Immediately afterwards, torches lit up in the woods and moved quickly.
The Fengyulou killers who were escaping saw that they were surrounded on both sides and had no way to retreat, so they had no choice but to rush forward. When they saw many people chasing them, they had to adjust their direction and rushed towards Prince Villa without realizing it.
It was discovered that the pursuer deliberately released the water.
Li Derjian also led people to catch up, rushed down the hillside in one breath, and ran along the road for a distance. In front of him was a huge valley with flat terrain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with farmland and fish ponds everywhere, and thatched houses scattered in an orderly manner.
In the middle of the valley is a hillside, surrounded by small rivers, shaded by trees, and vaguely visible houses.
"Sir, the front is Prince Villa. The target has already rushed in. Do you want to chase?" A general came over in a hurry. Under the light of the torch, his eyes were obviously a little wary.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalry group rushed from the front, their armor reflecting the moonlight, majestic. The leading general shouted: "Prince Villa, no intruders are allowed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."
"Prince's Guards?" Li Derjian's eyes darkened and he shouted loudly: "I, Li Derjian of the Supervisory Office, are here to arrest the rebels. There must be no misunderstanding."
When the cavalry heard the shouts, they slowed down their horses. The general signaled the team to stop and came up alone. After recognizing Li Derjian, his face turned cold: "Isn't it appropriate for Mr. Li to come here to catch the rebels? The Prince's Villa is the prince's private property, and it cannot be allowed without imperial decree."
Can Mr. Li break in by force?"
"The Supervisory Office is assigned to deal with important cases of rebellion, and you want to stop me?" Li Derjian's eyes turned cold.
The other party sensed Li Derjian's murderous intent, but his duty was that he did not flinch: "If you want to go in and search, you can bring the imperial edict, otherwise no one is allowed in, otherwise we will treat him as a thief and kill him without mercy."
"Very good, I will remember you." Li Derjian also knew that the Prince's Villa represents the prince's reputation, and it is true that he cannot enter without an imperial edict. Thinking of Xue Rengui's suggestion, he raised his voice and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order!"
"Here!" They all clasped their fists, full of fighting spirit.
"Go down with the order and surround the Prince's Villa. No one is allowed to escape. They will force their way in and kill them without mercy. I will go into the palace to face the saint." Li Derjian shouted, giving the cavalry general a meaningful look.
"Obey the order!" the soldiers responded loudly and dispersed with their respective troops.
The prince's guard general turned his horse's head back with a cold face. As long as he didn't enter, he had no excuse to take action.
A thousand people from the Operations Department of the Supervisory Mansion were all from the Habayashi Guards and had high combat qualities. They quickly dispersed and ran to both sides. Under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they seized advantageous terrain, blocked all passages, and surrounded the Prince Villa.
.
Under the protection of a group of people, Li Derjian went straight to Chang'an.
