When Youma, Ying Kang, the leader of the Yiqiu people, Jin Gou, the leader of the Fuqiu people, and others were talking in the secret room underground while waiting for the leaders of the other hidden bandit forces, on the ground of the county street in Yangxia County, Wu
Ma Jiao, Zongwei Weijiao, Lu Mu and others, led a group of merchant soldiers and soldiers, and were still searching the many military halls in the city from house to house.
So far, they have searched seven scholar's halls and are heading towards the eighth.
The sky had already turned completely dark, and the Shang Shui soldiers also lit torches.
At this moment, the generals of the Shangshui Army were very hungry, but according to the soldiers who had explored the whole county, there were actually more than thirty military halls in the city. When he heard these words, Wu Majiao almost lost his temper.
go.
You must know that from evening to now, they have only searched seven scholar's halls. If they finish searching the more than 30 scholar's halls in the county, how can they get Zishi?
"Damn it!"
Enduring the feeling of hunger in his belly, Wu Majiao couldn't help but curse.
After he finished scolding him, he realized that what he said was extremely inappropriate. After all, the two clan guards, Wei Jiao and Lu Mu, looked at him in unison.
Therefore, Wu Majiao quickly waved his hands and explained: "Two adults, I am not disrespecting His Highness King Su. I am scolding these thieves. Why are you opening so many military halls when you have nothing to do!"
Wei Jiao and Lu Mu smiled slightly. Of course they understood that Wu Majiao did not dare to be dissatisfied with their highness. It was just because it was already past meal time and his stomach was empty, so he complained a little.
"How about we stop here first?" Lu Mu turned to look at Wei Jiao and suggested, "Let the soldiers go back to their garrison first, eat something, rest for a while, and then continue to search the rest of the military hall?"
Hearing this, Wei Jiao frowned and said, "What if those guys hid their weapons during this period?"
Lu Mu laughed when he heard this and said: "It took us more than an hour to search six scholar's halls. If nothing else, the ones that have not been searched by us have already received the news within more than an hour. Even if we
Now I'm going over to search, I believe they have already hidden some of their weapons, the difference is not big."
Wei Jiao thought for a while and felt that what Lu Mu said was reasonable, so he said to Wuma Jiao: "General Wuma, in this case, after searching this military hall, we will return to the garrison first and ask the soldiers to eat something."
Bar."
After hearing this, Wuma Jiao felt as if he was being pardoned and said yes repeatedly.
No wonder, after all, when he was in Yuxian County today, the county magistrate Huang Yu and the military officer Zou Liang were inviting him to dinner. As a result, he did not drink three glasses of wine before receiving an order from Zhao Hongrun. Wu Majiao did not dare to delay and did not dare to drink anymore.
After a glass of wine, he immediately raised his troops and rushed to Yangxia.
He didn't even eat lunch in the first place, and now he also missed dinner. You can imagine how hungry he is now.
It was simply worse than the Shang Shui generals under his command, who had eaten lunch after all.
Bear with me any longer
Muttering secretly to his stomach, Wu Majiao raised his head and looked at the military hall directly opposite.
Different from the six scholar's halls they searched before, this one's door was closed tightly and no movement could be heard inside, so it seemed quite quiet.
"Call the door." Wu Majiao ordered a merchant general with a hundred men.
"yes!"
The merchant general of 100 soldiers followed the order, slapped the door with his palm, and shouted loudly: "Open the door! Where are the people inside? Open the door!"
After shouting several times but receiving no response, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the hundred-man general, and he raised his leg and kicked towards the door of the hall.
There was a banging sound, and the door trembled several times, but it did not open after all.
The hundred-man general frowned, turned around, waved to a few Shangshui soldiers, and ordered: "Come a few people and knock this door open!"
At this moment, Wu Majiao, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and others flashed a look of surprise in their eyes, and they shouted in unison: "Be careful behind you!"
The hundred men turned their heads subconsciously, and were shocked to see a bright sharp sword stabbing out of the paper door and window bars on the upper side of the hall door.
At the critical moment, the hundred-man general subconsciously turned his head. As a result, the sharp blade barely grazed his head and neck, cutting an incision in his neck, and blood suddenly burst out.
"Back off!"
Wuma Jiao shouted loudly.
The hundred-man general covered Yi Yan's neck and took a few steps back. He raised his hand and took a look. He saw that his palm was full of blood, and his eyes showed a bit of shock and anger.
He turned back to look at Wuma Jiao, who then looked at Zong Wei, Weijiao and Lu Mu, but saw the latter two's eyes glaring, and one word burst out of their mouths in unison: "Kill!"
Hearing this, the hundred man general showed a ferocious look on his face, and without retreating, he covered his neck with one hand, pointed at the door of the military hall with the other hand, and shouted: "The gunman comes forward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen spearmen with long spears walked out of the team, walked up the steps, and poked at the doors of the military halls until they were filled with holes.
I vaguely heard a scream coming from the hall, maybe a guy was stabbed by a spear.
Seeing this, the hundred-man general who was holding his neck came forward and hit him several times with his arms, and actually broke the door bolt on the inside.
Just a bang was heard, and the door bolt fell to the ground.
Immediately, as the hundred-man general raised his leg and kicked him again, the door of the scholar's hall suddenly opened.
As expected, dozens or hundreds of men with sharp swords were standing inside the military hall.
Judging from their clothing, some are rangers, while others may be members of the guild.
Seeing this, the hundred-man general pointed the sharp knife into the hall without saying a word, and shouted sternly: "Kill!"
After saying that, he, who was already injured, actually took the lead and rushed in.
Following the hundred-man general, the sword-and-shielder holding a sword in one hand and a shield in one hand rushed in, followed by the spearmen and crossbowmen.
It has to be said that when it comes to fighting alone, most hidden thieves and rangers are several levels higher than the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army. But when it comes to group fights, how can the hidden thieves and rangers who fight independently be the opponents of the soldiers of the army?
I saw the Shangshui Saber Shieldman who was the first to rush into the house, using the strong shields in his hands to form a line of defense, allowing the enemies in the hall to hack at their shields and forcefully force them back.
The spearmen who came later, just like they did during training in the military camp, thrust out their spears between the shields of the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front team, forcing the thieves in the hall to retreat.
As a result, if you withdraw, you will quit.
After hearing the order, the sword and shield players in the front team squatted down and raised their shields at an angle. The Shangshui Army crossbowmen in the rear team took the opportunity to pull the trigger of the hand crossbow in their hands, but screams were heard repeatedly in the military hall.
, countless hidden thieves and rangers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground wailing.
The rest of the people who were lucky enough not to be hit by the crossbow arrows looked at the Shang Shui army on the opposite side who were moving in unison, with a look of horror on their faces.
These people may be thinking: Is this the difference between the ranger and the army?
"A plot against me? You bastard!"
The hundred-man general gritted his teeth and cursed loudly, then pointed the weapon in his hand at the survivors in the military hall and ordered: "In compliance with the order of His Highness King Su, any traitor who is the first to attack our Shang Shui Army will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward with his swords and shields.
There was chaos in the military hall. Maybe the hidden thieves and rangers had good personal skills, but facing a real army like the Shang Shui Army, their strength could hardly be used.
It's no wonder, after all, the weapons of the thieves and rangers are mainly swords, but the Shang Shui Army has a variety of military weapons, shields, spears, and hand crossbows specially designed to deal with the battlefield. In addition,
The former fight on their own, while the latter cooperate with each other. How can the former be the opponent of the latter?
When he learned that his own soldiers were in a favorable situation in the military hall, Wu Majiao couldn't help but sneered.
Although as a Wei general who was born in Chu State, Wu Majiao didn't know exactly what kind of people the thieves and knights were, but he could roughly guess it.
After all, in Chu State, the phenomenon of nobles oppressing civilians was extremely common, which led to frequent rebellions among civilians everywhere, and knights and knights abounded. As a result, Chu State, which was much more powerful than Wei State, had been constantly criticized due to internal troubles.
Suppressed by Qi State.
Although the predecessor of the Shang Shui Army was the peasant soldiers recruited by Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, to attack the Wei State, at any rate, the Shang Shui Army had been training for nearly a year since Zhao Hongrun ended the Chu-Wei Campaign, although it was not as good as
The Shangdangshan Army, Chenggao Army, and Junshui Army have at least broken away from the category of peasant soldiers and become a qualified army.
Since it is a qualified army, it will never be defeated in a head-on group fight by a group of wanderers who only know how to fight on their own.
Just when Wuma was feeling proud, he suddenly heard several shattering sounds coming from the second floor of the scholar's hall. He subconsciously looked up and was shocked to see more than a dozen people jumping down from the second floor. Several of them had hands in their hands.
The weapon was clearly coming towards him.
Want to kill me? After all, I am also a former general with two thousand men.
Wu Majiao snorted coldly to himself, and without moving his horse back, he drew out the sword from his waist with a clang, and struck the sharp blade in the hand of a thief who jumped towards him, forcefully knocking him to the ground.
.
At the same time, Zongwei Weijiao and Lu Mu also drew their swords and blocked the other thieves who attacked him for Wu Majiao.
"Kill!" As Wu Majiao raised his hand and pointed at the dozen thieves who had fallen to the ground, the Shang Shui soldiers behind him swarmed up and killed those dozen people almost instantly.
Is this the so-called hidden thief of Yangxia? Isn’t it too underestimated of our army in the Wei Dynasty?
Wei Jiao and Lu Mu looked at each other and put away their respective swords.
They don't know that the real hidden thief forces such as Yiqiu Zong, Fuqiu Zong, and Youma have not organized manpower to attack Shang Shuijun or Zhao Hongrun at this moment. These thieves who took action are just what the former said.
He's just a guy who can't hold his temper.
But I have to say that there are quite a lot of these restless guys.
No, as the thieves and rangers from this military hall launched an offensive against Wuma Jiao and others, a group of thieves appeared on both sides of the street holding weapons and shouting to fight and kill.
Seeing this group of people coming out of a nearby alley with sharp knives, the Shangshui army generals headed by Wumajiao were quite angry.
Because judging from the current situation, their dinner will have to be postponed. It is unknown whether they will be able to have dinner before midnight. To be continued
