Su Hao himself was frightened by the blood spurting out of the strongman's stomach, but as the commander-in-chief of the army, he could not show cowardice no matter what. Seeing that all his soldiers had a look of fear on their faces, he had an idea
He moved and shouted loudly:
"Li Kang has meritorious service in killing the thieves. He will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, which will be distributed after the enemy is retreated!"
The soldiers' monthly salary was only one tael and five taels of silver. Su Hao shouted out a reward of 50 taels, which immediately attracted the soldiers' attention to the money. It was a full 50 taels of silver. If he took this home,
, it would be such a beautiful thing to be able to renovate the house at home and marry a beautiful wife.
Li Kang, this kid, really picked it up. Didn't he just stab a strong man? It's not like we haven't practiced assassination. Who made the strong man not rush in my direction?
Everyone's thoughts changed. Looking at the blood all over the ground, they no longer felt so disgusted. Although the strong men on the opposite side were twice as many as themselves, they didn't seem to be much stronger. One stab would cost 50 taels, and two stabbings would cost 50 taels.
Isn’t there 100 taels? It’s best if I can stab four of them... Whoever robs me, I’ll be in a hurry!
The soldiers' competitive spirit was aroused by the reward of 50 taels of silver. They straightened their backs, held the spears in their hands more tightly, and there was a look of perseverance and greed in their eyes, or greed.
There may be more ingredients.
The strongman on the opposite side was not so happy. The strongman who was struck by Li Kang staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. His whole body twitched, and he breathed out more than he took in. He was in danger of being saved.
The strong men couldn't help but take a step back. In their experience of robbing families and homes, they had never encountered such a tough opponent.
"Brothers, Da Niu was killed by them. We have to avenge Da Niu and we can't take it easy on them. There are only a few of them. Let's all charge together. They can't withstand it. Come on, listen to my order and charge!"
Zhenjiokeng is indeed a leader, and he knows that he must boost morale at this time. And he does think so in his heart. After all, he has more than 20 people. If they swarm up, can these soldiers in front of them be able to stop them?
The strong men also had some basic discipline. After hearing the leader's order, everyone rushed forward. Unfortunately, the space was limited, and it was difficult for more than 20 people to spread out. In addition, Su Hao had already ordered the soldiers to throw some wood and branches on the ground.
Such obstacles, coupled with a layer of fence cover, the strong men's charging speed could not be increased at all.
The spears in the hands of the soldiers were longer than the swords and sticks of the strongmen, which took advantage of them in the fight. The strongmen waved their swords and sticks, and could not hurt the soldiers surveying the camp for a while. The soldiers only had to straighten their spears.
If you stab, you can hit the strongman rushing in front. The strongman dodged left and right, but the soldiers' spear points were always shaking in front of their noses, which made it impossible for them to rush forward.
Zhenjiokeng's martial arts was the strongest among the strongmen. He waved the ghost-headed sword and blocked the spear of a Kanyu camp soldier who was facing him. He took two steps forward. Fortunately, Su Hao was watching in all directions.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, he came over to help with his spear. The two spears were stabbing at Zhenjiaokeng at the same time. Zhenjiaokeng was unable to fight with his four fists, so he had no choice but to take a step back to avoid the soldiers' sharp attacks.
"Brother, the idea is too strong!" Sanzi covered a wound on his arm and said anxiously to Zhenjiaokeng, "Their spears are long and our guys are too short to hit them."
"Grandma, what are you afraid of? There are more of us than they are. We will fight on wheels. We will exhaust them to death even if we are tired." Zhen Jiaokeng shouted, "Brothers, rush up, eat big chunks of meat, drink from big bowls, and divide gold and silver on big scales."
!”
"Charge!" the strongmen shouted slogans and charged forward again.
"Kill!" Su Hao and his soldiers also shouted loudly, repeatedly using a simple assassination move to block the strong men's attack.
The people on both sides started fighting across the fence. The soldiers in Kanyu Camp were a little uncomfortable at first, but slowly they found the feeling of fighting. Not only were they not exhausted to death as predicted by Zhenjiao Pit, but they were still a little bit tired.
The more you fight, the more courage you get.
When Su Hao was training the survey camp, he was willing to save money. The soldiers were fed with big fish and meat and plenty of rice. Their physical strength was far beyond that of these thieves. In terms of martial arts, Professors Hao Tong and Deng Kui
After mastering the method, the soldiers' assassination skills were also very good. After overcoming the initial fear of battle, several soldiers began to become more skillful. The strong men charged more than ten times in succession, but they were all repulsed.
Although Ma Yu is a scholar, he has been an instructor at the Kanyu Camp in the past few months and has also participated in some training, so his assassination skills are quite passable. Zhao Luo and Zhao Liu, master and servant, guard one aspect together and cooperate with each other tacitly.
The strong men who charged in their direction could not make any gains.
Seeing that the charge was blocked, Zhenjiokeng came up with another trick, asking his minions to go around to pick up rocks and throw them at the soldiers of Kanyu Camp. This trick was really effective, including Su Hao.
Inside, several people were hit by stones. Fortunately, it was late autumn, and everyone wore thick clothes. The stones hit their bodies, which was just a few bruises. The fence that the soldiers had built earlier also blocked part of the stones.
The strongmen worked hard for a long time, but finally failed to defeat the Kanyu camp.
"Brother, I have an idea!" A strongman rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea, "We can't rush forward, so we can attack with fire!"
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Zhenjiakeng was overjoyed, "Wang Hu, Chen Bao, you two, go to the village quickly and get some firewood. Let's trap them all inside and burn them to death."
The two strongmen left in response. They had just taken two steps when Zhenjiakeng warned from behind: "You just need to get firewood. Don't hurt the people in the village. Do you understand?"
"I know, rabbits don't eat grass from the edge of their nests!" the two strong men agreed as they ran.
"Su Baihu, did you hear that the strongman is preparing to attack with fire?" Zhao Luo came over and said to Su Hao.
Su Hao frowned and said: "This is really a troublesome thing. Let's stay here. If they really attack with fire, we won't be able to withstand them."
"Why didn't you think of using this fire gun?" Zhao Luo asked, pointing to the fire gun Su Hao put aside.
Su Hao said: "I am also hesitating whether to use a firecracker to shoot them one by one. But I am afraid that once I use the firecracker, I will completely drive them into panic. If they fight to the death, we will not be able to stop them."
"That's true." Zhao Luo nodded. He understood what Su Hao meant. He didn't want to use this killer weapon prematurely, so that the strong men would always feel that there was still some hope, so that their attacks would not be too desperate.
The goal on my side is just to hold on for a while and wait for the soldiers who went into the mountain to come back. From this perspective, it is right not to use the firecrackers for the time being.
"Fire attack is not terrible. We can just put out the fire at any time. There is some water in the tent of the embroiderers. We will bring it out later to put out the fire." Su Hao said.
"I'm thinking it's time for our people to come back." Zhao Luo found psychological comfort for himself.
While the two people were talking, the situation suddenly changed. A woman's scream was heard from the entrance of the village. After a while, two strong men appeared at the entrance of the village dragging two women. Su Hao took a closer look and couldn't help but feel
The soul flew into the sky. Those two women were actually Han Qian and Honglian!
"Oops, why are these two girls in the village! Li Kang, didn't you check the number of people in the camp just now?" Su Hao asked Li Kang angrily.
"I, I, I...I didn't pay attention to the women's camp just now!" Li Kang defended continuously. When he first discovered the strongman, Su Hao asked Li Kang to call everyone over, but Li Kang only called the men in the camp.
, he paid no attention to Master and Servant Han Qian and the embroiderers. He always thought that these women were staying in his tent, but he did not expect that Master and Servant Han Qian were not in the camp.
When the strongman attacked, Han Qian and Honglian happened to go to the village for convenience. When they were about to return to the camp, they saw that the strongman had already rushed towards the camp, and they could not return to the camp safely before the strongman arrived. Seeing this scene
, they quickly ran back to the village and found a family to hide in. There were only two women left in that family, but they told Han Qian that the strongmen generally did not harass the villagers and sometimes came to order food.
Sort of like that, but we won't do things like murder and arson.
Maybe this means that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. The strong people are operating in this Luoshan area and they don't dare to offend all the people in the village.
Two strongmen, Wang Hu and Chen Bao, went to the village to collect firewood and happened to break into the house where Han Qian and Hong Lian were hiding. As soon as they saw how Han Qian and Chen Bao were dressed, Wang Hu and Chen Bao knew that these two
This woman must be from the survey camp, because it is impossible for a peasant woman in the village to have such good clothes.
Two strongmen immediately rushed forward, grabbed Han Qian and Honglian, and dragged them away from the village. Their idea was that they could use these two hostages to force Su Hao and others to surrender. If that didn't work, they would kidnap them.
He bought these two people's tickets and asked Su Hao to redeem them with money.
Han Qian and Hong Lian were both delicate and timid girls, who could not stand up to two strong men, so they were dragged out of the village by Wang Hu and Chen Bao while crying.
"Wang Hu, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to hurt others?" Zhen Jiaokeng shouted to Wang Hu from a distance.
"Brother, these two women are not from the village, they are the family members of these officers and soldiers. Let's tie up their tickets!" Wang Hu grabbed Han Qian in his hand and strode back, answering excitedly.
.
"Haha, God bless you!" Zhenjiakeng was overjoyed. He turned around and shouted to Su Hao: "Soldiers, you didn't expect that your woman fell into our hands. Believe it or not, I'm here."
This is done for both of them!"
"Zhao Luo, Ma Yu, lead people to guard the camp, I'll go rescue them!"
Seeing that Han Qian had fallen into the hands of the strong man, Su Hao's eyes turned red. He roared, picked up a blunderbuss in his hand, shook the match rope, lit the gunpowder, and heard a "boom"
, a strong man standing opposite him suddenly had a bright face, and the dead body fell backwards.
Su Hao threw down the fired firecracker in his hand, picked up another firecracker, and jumped out with a single stride. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register Member Recommendation
