"Fire arrows! Shoot them to death." Someone from the north direction shouted an order.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of "swish, swish, swish". Dozens of bows and arrows were fired at them. Several of the lake bandits who were clearing ground thorns in the north were shot, and they screamed and fell to the ground.
A bow and arrow flew to Feng Heizi's feet with a whoosh, landed at Feng Heizi's feet, and bounced on the ground. Feng Heizi also saw clearly that it was just an arrow cut from bamboo. It was not very lethal. It was an arrow used by folk bows and arrows.
Branches. However, they can still hurt and kill people.
The leader of the second village, Water Monkey, was almost hit by a bamboo arrow and was so frightened that he cursed.
"Get back, get back." Feng Heizi hurriedly ordered loudly, he didn't want his men to become a living target.
The lake bandits retreated one after another, and they could only retreat to the street in front of the city gate, with nowhere else to go.
Moreover, the crowd in the east began to shoot arrows here, and the native bows and arrows in the south also began to shoot. Although the shooting range of the native bows and arrows was not far and could not hit the lake bandits, this obviously told Feng Heizi and others that no matter where they came from,
No matter which direction they force a breakthrough, there will be a large number of bows and arrows and manpower to greet them.
The crowds around were shouting loudly, waving torches, making noises, and cursing.
"Kill them, these harmful thieves all deserve to die."
"Kill these damn scourges."
"These scum should be cut to pieces and go to hell."
"Avenge the fellow villagers for the harm done to them."
"..."
Cries of death and accusations rang out like mountains and tsunamis. The common people shouted, stamped their feet, waved their fists at headless flies from a distance, and cursed endlessly. They had been bullied and exploited by this gang of lake bandits for many years, and their relatives at home had been raped by them.
All the hatred for killing and humiliation was vented today. The shouts and curses resounded through the night and spread throughout the city.
Feng Heizi was a little panicked. At this moment, he felt like he was surrounded on all sides. He was trapped here, and it seemed that he had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the earth. Dozens of his men were injured by bows, arrows and spikes and were unable to move. Now only a hundred are left.
There are only a few left. If we force a breakthrough into the city, we will definitely not be able to escape. The spikes on the ground are insurmountable for those on the other side. Now we can only find a way to evacuate quickly, escape from the current situation, and come back to take revenge.
These people tortured them severely to eliminate today's hatred.
But how to get out of trouble? Feng Heizi has no idea.
"Master Dazhai, I'm afraid we still have to rush out from the city gate. They have the fewest people at the city gate. Let's move the wooden fence at the entrance of the city gate in one go, and we can rush out of the city. Then we will
We are not afraid of anything anymore. We have to do this even if we fight to kill or injure some brothers. Otherwise, we are afraid we will die here." Water Monkey came up and said in a deep voice.
Feng Heizi nodded slightly. He knew that this was the only feasible way. Although there were enemies smashing things down and some bows and arrows blocking the city gate, compared to the situation in front of him, it was the easiest place to break through. Move away.
Just rush out of the city through the fence. It's worth losing some people, it's better than being trapped here.
"Okay, here's the order, rush out of the city gate no matter the cost." Feng Heizi said in a deep voice.
The water monkey nodded and shouted at the frightened lake bandits: "Listen, everyone, rush together and remove the wooden fence at the door, so that we can leave the city. Otherwise, we will all die here. At this time, the more afraid of death, the more
You will die. Go for it, go for it with me."
At the critical moment, the water monkey didn't give up. He jumped up with his thin body, turned around and rushed towards the city gate. The lake bandits also knew that the current situation was dangerous and it would be impossible if they didn't fight hard, so they all shouted towards the city gate.
Rushed back.
Bows and arrows were fired at random from the top of the city, and several lake bandits fell to the ground screaming for help. But no one paid any attention to them. The people behind stepped on their bodies and rushed over. It was impossible to save them at this moment, but they thought they were blocking them.
The road is in the way.
Dozens of people rushed to the entrance to the city gate, and rocks and wood were smashed down again. The lake bandits were beaten to pieces, but dozens of people still rushed to the wooden fence and pushed hard to block the entrance.
wooden fence.
This wooden fence was originally fixed above the city gate opening with thick ropes. The other side was lifted up with ropes and hung on the battlements above the city gate. Li Hui and others calculated the height and angle. When the lake bandits rushed in
After that, the ropes tied to the battlements were cut, and the wooden fence flipped down like the pages of a book, and was hung at the city gate opening with the help of a fixed point on the other side, thus achieving the purpose of blocking the city gate opening.
Therefore, it is impossible to remove it. Either cut the rope hanging above, or completely cut the wooden fence and damage it. Both of these methods are obviously impossible at this moment.
But the smart lake bandits found a third way. They soon discovered that the wooden fence could be opened, so they worked together to open a gap in the wooden fence and blocked it with the corpses and debris underneath. This way, they could
Let people get into the city gate through the gap below.
It has to be said that this design of blocking the city gate is very problematic. If the Lake Bandits were not suddenly ambushed and panicked, they would have discovered this flaw long ago and they would have been able to withdraw from the city long ago.
Before it was tea time, after paying the price of more than 30 casualties, Feng Heizi and others successfully got into the city gate. Although there were only more than 60 people left, Feng Heizi was happy in his heart.
.This is much better than being wiped out here.
Good news came one after another. The lake bandits soon discovered that the outer city gate was open and the other party did not close the city gate. The cold wind outside the city was blowing in. They could see the snow-covered wilderness outside the city, and their way out was
in front.
However, the bad news is that the suspension bridge outside seems to have been pulled up. They dare not come down to close the city gate, so they can only block their retreat by pulling up the suspension bridge.
But this method may be effective in other seasons, but in this cold winter, it has no effect at all. Because the moat is frozen, the ice on the moat that is only eight or nine feet wide is thick enough for people to walk directly through it.
.
The lake bandits rushed out of the door, rushed down the moat without hesitation, and stepped onto the snow-covered ice. The ice was very solid, and it was like walking on flat ground. The bows and arrows on the top of the city had been turned to the outside and started shooting randomly.
Someone was shot and fell to the snow. This made the lake bandits dare not slow down. They just kept their heads down and ran to the other side without daring to stay for a moment.
After Feng Heizi left the city, he was surrounded by more than a dozen people and jumped down the moat and ran towards the other bank. The distance of eight to nine feet was only about forty steps, and it only took a moment to climb up to the other bank. In a few breaths, Feng Heizi and others were already running
After walking for more than twenty steps, we arrived at the center of the moat.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. Feng Heizi's flying feet felt like they had stepped into a pile of cotton wool, with no place to focus. There should have been solid ice underneath the snow, but now his feet kept sinking.
After going in, Feng Heizi didn't realize what happened until the cold feeling spread to his brain.
"No! Damn it." As Feng Heizi cursed, the thin snow around his body fell one after another, revealing a wide expanse of black river water.
With a pop, Feng Heizi fell into the cold river water.
In panic, his hands scratched wildly, grabbing many small bamboo sticks and random grass buried in the snow. At that moment, Feng Heizi's mind suddenly became clear, and he instantly understood what was going on.
Something's happened.
These slender bamboo strips are the framework used to support the thin snow covering them. This is a trap. Someone cut open the ice in the middle of the moat, put bamboo strips and random grass between the ice surfaces, and then
Floating snow was sprinkled on top to camouflage it. In fact, there was no ice layer underneath at all, but the freezing cold river water.
Feng Heizi also instantly understood why the wooden fence could be opened. This method was too low-level. That was because the other party had no intention of locking them in the city. Why wasn't the city gate closed? They didn't intend to lock them in the city.
It is not difficult to close the city gate secretly. Why is the suspension bridge pulled up? All of this is just that they hope to give people like them a way to escape, a route to escape according to their ideas.
.
Escape from the moat and fall into the trap on the river.
All of this was a series of tricks. From the moment he received the news from Sun Tuzi, he plunged his head into this trap. Not long ago, his hunch was right, and he always felt that something was wrong. But in the end, nothing happened.
They could understand. In the end, they got to this step step by step according to their vision.
The water in the river was freezing cold. Feng Heizi was soaked all over and his heart almost stopped due to the cold. He had no time to think about it at the moment and had to get ashore quickly. He knew what would happen if he fell into the ice water in winter. Even if he was good at water, he wouldn't be able to survive.
how long.
He could hear panicked shouts everywhere around him, the splashing sound of falling into the water, and the shrill cry for help that changed the tone. Feng Heizi knew without looking that not only did he fall into the water, but most of his brothers also fell into the water.
In that situation, everyone was rushing to the other side, so how could they notice the danger at their feet?
But Feng Heizi was too busy taking care of himself to care about these people.
Feng Heizi gritted his teeth and splashed in the water and swam towards the opposite side. The cold penetrated his whole body, and his hands and feet were extremely stiff. The cotton clothes on his body were so full of water that they felt as heavy as carrying a big stone on his back. The poisonous dragon leather armor was so tight that he couldn't breathe.
Come on. His body was falling like a weight, and he could no longer hold on.
At this moment, he saw a splash of water beside him, and a person swam past him at an extremely fast speed, moving very fast.
"Second brother, save me." Feng Heizi recognized that it was Water Monkey, the leader of the second village, and he shouted hoarsely.
The main water monkey of the second village has excellent water skills and is recognized as the best in the water village. Moreover, he dares to swim in the water in the winter, and it can take half an hour. He also fell into the water, but he did not seem to be affected too much, such as
A flying fish usually swims quickly forward.
"Boy, save me." Feng Heizi shouted loudly.
The water monkey turned his head, glanced at Feng Heizi, and then looked back at the city gate. The fire there was dazzling, and the enemies in the city had already poured out of the city gate and started to chase. The water monkey said nothing, turned around and moved forward quickly with his arms waving.
Swim away.
"Second brother, second brother. You bastard. You have no loyalty. I'm going to kill you. You son of a bitch." Feng Heizi gasped and cursed loudly. Water Monkey acted as if he didn't hear it and quickly pulled away from Feng Heizi.
A long distance away, he quickly approached the ice on the opposite side.
"You have to die...GuluGulu." Feng Heizi cursed loudly and poured ice water into his mouth, swallowing his other curses.
Feng Heizi hurriedly emerged and swam forward with all his strength, staring at the water monkey in front of him with anger. Then, he saw a scene that shook him to his core.
