When Feng Heizi led more than 120 lake bandits to the west city gate, the suspension bridge was creaking and the city gate was already open.
But for some reason, the torches at the top of the city had been extinguished, and Sun Tuzi and others did not come out to greet them. This made Feng Heizi a little confused.
But as the suspension bridge fell and the passage connecting the city gate in front became clear, Feng Heizi dispelled the slightest doubt in his heart.
The arrow is on the string and the city gate is open, so what are you waiting for?
"Charge!" Feng Heizi lowered his voice and waved his hand. The leader of the second village, Water Monkey, and the leader of the third village, He Dahong, roared and rushed onto the suspension bridge with their men. Afterwards, everyone filed in, swarmed across the suspension bridge, and got into the open city gate.
middle.
It was pitch dark inside the city gate, and people were passing quickly. The sound of footsteps and deep breathing echoed in it, forming a strange reverberation. This feeling made Feng Heizi feel a little uncomfortable. It reminded him of an unpleasant experience.
A long time ago, when he was a fisherman, he accidentally fell into the water while fishing and was entangled in the fishing net and could not escape.
That time when he was engulfed by the dark lake water and sank to the bottom of the dark lake, when he looked up and saw that the faint light on the lake was getting farther and farther away and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, he felt extremely panicked, which was very similar to the situation before him.
.
The glimmer of light at the exit of the city gate in front was very similar to the dim light I saw underwater. The suffocating feeling caused by the thick darkness around me was also quite similar. This was a wonderfully common feeling.
But this discomfort completely disappeared as I successfully rushed out of the city gate. The square inside the West City Gate is very open. After rushing out of the gate, I felt a sudden sense of relief. Just like that time after falling into the water, I felt that I was in danger.
The feeling of relief when I randomly took out a knife to cut off the fishing net tangled around me and emerged from the water.
"Stop and listen!" Feng Heizi ordered in a low voice.
All the well-trained lake bandits dispersed into small groups and formed a fan-shaped defensive formation around the exit of the city gate, staring into the surrounding darkness and observing.
Feng Heizi half-crouched behind him holding the ring-shou knife, looking around with his eyes, listening to the sounds around him, and mobilizing all his senses to feel the surrounding situation.
This is not a redundant move. Based on Feng Heizi's experience, if you want to succeed in a sneak attack, you must ensure that you don't alert anyone after entering the city. You need to be extra careful in your actions. Moreover, the opponent obviously has people patrolling the city in the city, let alone let them
Discover it. Otherwise, the sneak attack will fail.
Although this operation is inevitable, even if we fight head-on, we will not be afraid. However, it is obviously best to succeed in a sneak attack, which can save a lot of energy and save fewer brothers.
It was quiet all around, except for the whistling of the cold wind passing through the treetops at the top of the city. The light of the snow reflected the starlight, and you could vaguely see the distance twenty or thirty steps away. But apart from the dark streets and the white snow
Other than that, nothing was discovered.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the noise entering the city did not disturb anyone in the city.
"Master of the big village, I will lead people to explore the way first. You and the rest of the brothers will follow you slowly." Water Monkey, the leader of the second village, said in a low voice.
"No, let's go together." Feng Heizi waved his hand and said: "If they notice, we will rush together."
The water monkey nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Move forward, step more gently, and don't cough or talk."
The Lake Bandit cats started to move forward along the street with their weapons in their waists, like a group of ghosts in the dark slowly leaving the city gate and heading towards the long street ahead.
Feng Heizi walked for more than ten steps, then suddenly stopped and frowned, turning back to look at the top of the city.
"What's wrong, Dazhai Master?" Water Monkey stopped and turned around and asked.
"Something's wrong." Feng Heizi frowned and said, "Where's the fourth child? Why don't you see him? If he doesn't show up at this time, what the hell is he doing?"
The water monkey was stunned and frowned: "Yeah, why doesn't he come to see us? Is he still at the top of the city? What are you doing up there? Strange."
Feng Heizi lowered his voice and shouted towards the top of the city: "Lao Si, Lao Si, are you up there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud booming sound, and something slid down above the city head inside the city gate opening. Because the distance was very close, Feng Heizi and others could see clearly that it seemed to be a huge wooden fence coming from above the city gate opening. The city wall turned over and blocked the inner opening of the city gate, completely blocking the city gate. The wooden railing fell and blew a huge cold wind, carrying snow, mist and dust.
Feng Heizi and others quickly turned their heads and closed their eyes, covering their faces with their arms to hide.
"Hahaha." Someone laughed on the top of the city. At the same time, more than a dozen torches lit up almost at the same time, illuminating the top of the city. Dozens of tall and short figures above appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"No! We've been trapped!" Feng Heizi shouted loudly, and all the gangsters were stunned and stunned.
"Hahaha, Feng Heizi, you have fallen into a trap. Your death has come. Shoot the arrow!" Someone on the top of the city laughed loudly.
As soon as the words fell, the bowstrings buzzed on the top of the city, and more than a dozen arrows were fired from high above. Several lake bandits were hit by arrows in an instant and screamed in pain.
"Quickly retreat!" Feng Heizi shouted sharply.
More than a dozen lake bandits turned and rushed towards the city gate, but the city gate had been blocked by a fallen fence. The fence made of heavy logs blocked the city gate at a perfect angle, blocking the way out.
"Move it." Feng Heizi shouted.
More than a dozen lake bandits worked together to move the fence. But the people on top of the city would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Smash them to death."
As soon as an order was given from the top of the city, rolling wood and stones rained down. The lake bandits at the entrance to the city gate were knocked upside down. They held their heads and screamed, their heads were bruised, blood flowed, and their muscles and bones were broken.
At the same time, the bows and arrows at the top of the city were still fired at the crowd below the city. Although there were only a dozen bows and arrows, someone was hit by the arrow every time. Soon more than a dozen lake bandits were hit by arrows or injured, and people were rolling and shouting everywhere. Lake bandit.
Feng Heizi made a quick decision and shouted: "Rush to the city!"
Everyone suddenly realized that in this situation, it was the most correct choice to stay away from the city gate and rush to the city streets. The city gate hole was blocked and the retreat was blocked, so they could only fight forward. This way they could carve out a way and still be able to escape. It can stay away from the shooting range of arrows from the city head.
Everyone shouted, turned around and rushed towards the long street heading east. There seemed to be no obstacles in front of them, and everyone ran for dozens of steps, still unobstructed, and got rid of the entanglement of the arrows behind them.
But the lake bandits rushing at the front suddenly let out a scream, and seven or eight of them fell to the ground, holding their feet in pain and howling.
"What's going on?" Feng Heizi roared.
"There are thorns, there are thorns. There are traps, damn it. The snow is full of spikes, and many of our brothers have been pierced through the soles of their feet." He Dahong, the leader of the third village, reported in a trembling voice, and his tone changed. .
Feng Heizi's scalp was numb. He knew that he was in big trouble today. The road ahead was covered with spike traps, the gate leading out of the city on the back road was blocked, and there were bows, arrows, wood and rocks attacking from the city head. The opponent was obviously well prepared.
Just waiting for people like me to fall into the trap.
"Charge to both sides! Charge to both sides! Go south, go south." Feng Heizi shouted.
Feng Heizi actually understood in his heart that since there were spike traps on the street in front, there should also be spike traps on the left and right sides. It was obviously impossible for the opponent to leave any gaps. Sure enough, within sixty or seventy steps to the north, there were lake bandits.
They screamed and fell to the ground, and the sharp bamboo thorns buried in the ground pierced the soles of their feet.
"Go north, go north!" someone shouted loudly, and the lake bandits turned and rushed north, taking dozens of steps. Soon someone stepped on a spike and howled in pain.
At this point, it has been determined that the three sides of the southeast and west are covered with spike traps, and there is no way to pass through them. It is impossible to rush over directly. Fifteen or six people have been injured. If you rush over, everyone will be injured.
"Pull out the spikes, pull out the spikes. Clear the passage." Feng Heizi yelled.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at the ground around them. It was black, white and black. There were spikes in the dirt and snow, but they couldn't see where they were. How to clean them? Do you touch them one by one with your hands?
"Use your sword to explore the path and chop off the sharp thorns." The leader of the second village, Water Monkey, gained wisdom and shouted loudly.
And he started to demonstrate in person. He squatted down, swept his weapon back and forth against the ground, and scraped it a few times. As expected, he cut off several of the tips of the wooden and bamboo thorns that were exposed on the ground, allowing him to move forward.
Move.
Everyone was overjoyed. This method was obviously effective. The opponent could not have buried spikes all over the city. They only needed to clear the passage and get out of the trap range to escape.
Everyone imitated the water monkey's method and used their weapons to sweep back and forth on the ground. Spikes were constantly cut off. The density of spikes buried on the ground was beyond imagination. There were three or four upwards on the ground within a square foot.
The sharp spikes were nailed into the ground. Someone stepped on two of them with one foot, and both the forefoot and back heel were pierced because of the dense concentration of spikes.
Although the advancement speed is very slow, chopping with a weapon is still a way to get out of trouble.
However, after they had advanced less than twenty steps to the north, they heard the sound of gongs banging in the darkness ahead. The sound of gongs was very harsh at night, and soon spread to
On the east and south sides, amidst the harsh and noisy gongs, there were loud shouts of killing in the streets and alleys in the north, south, south, and south directions. As the torches swayed, a large number of people holding torches and lanterns rushed to gather.
Hundreds of people quickly gathered.
Most of them seemed to be people from Juchao County, including men, women, old and young. But they were holding a variety of simple weapons in their hands. Sticks, pitchforks, hatchets, harpoons, earthen bows and arrows, and even
There was a woman holding a mallet for pounding clothes.
These people gathered in front, standing there like clay and wooden sculptures. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, they were as terrifying as a group of evil ghosts seeking life. They were waiting for the lake bandits to break through the scope of the trap, and then group up and attack
Attack it.
The lake bandits were horrified, but they were not actually afraid of the people. What they were afraid of were the enemies standing in front of the people who were armed with bright weapons and bows and arrows. These people should be armed refugees in the city, and they are the most terrifying.
.
Feng Heizi cursed in his heart. Dozens of armed refugees appeared on each side of the city. In addition to the manpower on the city gate at the rear, the number of people was obviously as many as a hundred or dozens. How come there were heavy casualties in the fierce battle in the city, and why there were only fifty or sixty left?
People like this are all fake. They are all traps to trick you into taking the bait.
