At two o'clock in the morning, everyone in Qinling Village, who had been waiting for two quarters of an hour, was a little impetuous. There were many mosquitoes in the mountains at night, and the annoying noise was second to them. Being bitten by them made them extremely itchy.
They were lying in ambush in various places without any disturbance, especially Wu Zheng, who was in the same place as Qinling Village. Probably because of his thin skin and tender flesh, he was especially loved by mosquitoes. He didn't know how many times he was bitten, and his whole body started to itch.
Wanting to move to relieve his pain, he caught a glimpse of Lan An not far away from the corner of his eye. From his position, he could just see half of Lan An's face, which was not fair but immature, illuminated by the moonlight, and the red and shiny pimples were obvious.
Just after he was bitten, a mosquito happened to land on the spot where he was bitten.
Just looking at it like this, Wu Zheng wanted to drive away the mosquitoes for him, but Lan An didn't seem to be aware of it at all. Such a reaction shocked Wu Zheng. He was an officer trained in the orthodox army, and his endurance and perseverance were incomparable.
Go to the bandits!
At this time, a rustling sound could be heard faintly in the night wind. Wu Zheng's spirit perked up and he held his breath and concentrated.
The location where they ambush is exactly at the corner where Jun Ci sneaked into the village for the first time. Once they get out of the corner, they can be seen clearly from the enemy tower. The large ballistas on the enemy tower are used to deal with the small number of enemies.
Trespassers.
If the enemy attacks in a large scale, the archers hidden in the branches around the watchtower will deal with it.
His eyes crossed the empty valley and fell on the mountain wall. Wu Zheng could see that the darkness at the corner was getting thicker. He knew that someone was lurking there. He calmly tilted his head and glanced at the moon hanging high. It must be midnight.
, the general expected it well.
Now just wait for someone to climb up from behind along the vines, and then release the signal, and these people will take action.
It is hoped that these people will act separately and roughly estimate each other's time before gradually encircling Qinling Village.
As a result, the people from the back mountain should be arriving soon, so they won't be able to feed the mosquitoes for long.
In the back mountain, the escape route left by He Lanjing, he was personally leading an ambush from a distance.
He stared at the movement for a moment, and soon heard a small sound. In just a few breaths, seven people rolled up almost at the same time. They were wearing military uniforms and were officers and soldiers of the Yamen.
He Lanjing held on tight. If he took action at this time, he would indeed be able to knock everyone down. But those people in front of the mountain had no way to take the bait. In the blink of an eye, several groups of people jumped up. It was estimated that there were dozens of people.
Helan Jingcai acted as if he had just discovered them, and jumped out from behind the hidden rock: "Kill——"
He Lanjing took the lead with the triplets who were good at martial arts, and hundreds of people instantly fought with the officers and soldiers who were lurking up.
Until now, they do not know the true situation of the village, and have made a wrong estimate of the Qinling Village, that is, there are only more than 200 people in the Qinling Village, including twenty or thirty people who have no fighting ability.
He Lanjing saw He Lanjing rushing over with most of the people. Some even took advantage of their free time to cut off the climbing vines and immediately sent out a signal.
When the people waiting in front saw the signal, they lined up four in a row, each holding an iron shield, forming a long worm, moving smoothly and orderly.
The person at the front has his iron shield upright, the person at the end has his iron shield facing the direction of the arrows from Qinling Village, and the person at the back has his iron shield raised high. From a distance, it looks like a seamlessly connected iron box worm.
Slowly crawling under the mountain wall.
The arrows were shot out and all pierced the iron shield, without hurting anyone.
Seeing this, Lan An put down his bow and arrow. He climbed onto the watchtower and aimed the large ballista at the "iron long worm" who was moving slowly and slowly. He said to several people who were helping him pull the crossbow: "Get ready..."
put!"
These people were trained by him to have an extremely tacit understanding. They let go almost at the same time, and six thick arrows pierced the iron shield. The one who hit the iron shield penetrated the iron shield, and the head of the person under the iron shield was even shattered.
The ones that missed the iron shield hit the gaps. Manpower was simply unable to support this huge force. The iron shield instantly split apart because someone could not support it.
Wu Zheng saw this opportunity and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
Swishing arrows were shot at the officers and soldiers whose iron shields fell. Wu Zheng had to admire Helanjing, the location where the enemy tower was built. Every night, with the moon hanging above the top, he could just follow their direction.
The demons and monsters on the opposite side can be clearly illuminated, which greatly increases their accuracy.
Being attacked by such a sniper, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses. Someone shouted loudly, and the squatting people held up their iron shields desperately and attacked towards the gate of the cottage.
Bending a bow and setting an arrow requires a gap. According to calculations, they can sacrifice a small area in exchange for most of the people attacking the entrance of the village.
However, the reality was beyond their expectations. There were two groups of hidden archers. After one group released their arrows, the second group immediately made up for them. The first group quickly nocked arrows and drew their bows, and then quickly added the second group.
The arrows almost never stopped, and the accuracy of the arrows was extremely high. Only a few people were able to dodge the arrows and ran towards the entrance of the village. Among these people, Lan An jumped out of the watchtower and jumped up a tree. His bow and arrows were aimed at each other.
The fish that is sure to slip through the net will be missed.
The attack lasted about a quarter of an hour, but no one touched the door of the stronghold. The officials knew that they had misjudged the Qinling stronghold, or that they had been ambushed, and someone immediately sounded the retreat trumpet.
As soon as the trumpet sounded, both those in front of the mountain and those behind the mountain began to want to retreat.
Before the people in front of the mountain retreated completely, Zhao Chun, who had been following them all the way, drew his sword and waved: "Kill——"
There is only one road in this section, and the winding road is surrounded by mountain walls on one side and cliffs of different heights on the other.
When Zhao Chun led his men to kill from the rear, Wu Zheng also threw away the crossbow in his hand and drew out his long sword: "Kill down, leaving no one behind!"
About a thousand people from the government were all blocked on the mountain road without forks. The mountain road was narrow and some people were blocked in the middle. There was no room for them to perform. Wu Zheng and Zhao Chun were killed at the front.
In the back mountain, all the vines had been cut off, and those who climbed up were surrounded and killed by He Lanjing and others. There were no people who climbed up, so Zhao Chun divided fifty people, led by Yang Ze, into an ambush.
Jun Ci heard the sounds of fighting coming from all around, hovering in the night sky, adding a trace of depression to the dark ink.
Feiyi followed the wind to hunt, her ears moved, her feet moved slowly, and her hand was already on the sword.
The black figure was like a shadow emerging from the night. Jun Ci's sword was unsheathed with a swipe, and the figure soared into the sky. As it passed by, there was the crisp sound of weapons clashing.
Immediately afterwards, another black shadow rose from the ground and rushed towards Jun Ci.
Jun Ci's foot tilted, and Senbai's weapon brushed against Jun Ci's sword, causing sparks to fly.
