The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Xia Bing on the arrow tower was still staring at Su Jin and others, pointing the direction for the soldiers below, suddenly saw several people rushing into the thick smoke and disappeared, and saw the base of the arrow tower burning, Immediately screamed in shock.

They had no time to look for the figures of Su Jin and others in the thick smoke and fire, and hurriedly climbed down the ladder, but the fire on the base below rushed up, and soon let them taste the taste of burning their buttocks, and they knew that they could not delay Now, the fire will only get fiercer and fiercer, and the arrow tower will soon collapse, and it will fall to death if it is not burned to death.

In desperation, dozens of people spotted a few grain stacks that were not on fire and jumped down with their eyes closed, like heavy bombs being thrown into the grain stacks one after another. Although everyone was dizzy and dizzy, they managed to save their lives.

But before they climbed down the grain pile, they heard the sound of Kerala ringing in their ears. The scene in front of them made them frightened. It was a minority, only seven or eight of the dozens of guards in the arrow tower escaped with their lives, and the rest were all crushed under the arrow tower, embedded in the big pit of the grain pile, unable to get up, the smoke billowed, the heat wave was smoky, and they could only shout After a few calls for help, they were fainted by the smoke. After a while, the fire spread and engulfed them in the sea of ​​flames.

The soldiers of the Xia army, who had lost their guidance, could not find the trace of the arsonist, and suddenly ran around like headless chickens. In fact, even if the eyes and ears were still there, they could no longer function at this moment. The barracks turned into a pot of porridge, only people shaking around could be seen, but it was impossible to tell who was who.

All of a sudden, the sound of blazing flames, soldiers shouting, cursing, coughing, and the screams after getting angry could be heard endlessly. The whole barracks was like a mess of hair fried leeks.

Su Jin and the other five people rushed to the east wall with their diaper-wet cloth towels on. They swung their knives and chopped down any figures they encountered scurrying in the smoke and dust along the way. Not very wise, their existence was soon discovered by the soldiers who were running around. The soldiers called to each other and pointed out the direction of Su Jin and others. Suddenly, several groups of soldiers were forced by the officials to chase after them. .

The five fought a bloody road, and finally arrived at the Dongying wall. Zhao Hu of the Dynasty stretched out his hand and threw a hook to hang it, and shouted: "Ma Han and the young master go first, and brother Zhao Hu and I will break up."

Su Jin didn't refuse, grabbed the rope and climbed up the wall. They realized that they had made a mistake when they reached the camp wall. At this time, they were exposed to the eyes of the soldiers on the arrow tower in the south, and their whereabouts were completely exposed. The soldiers on the arrow tower immediately issued a signal, and at the same time, a volley of bows and arrows enveloped the crowd on the wall.

Ma Han waved his scimitar and danced into a circle of light, knocking the arrows flying, but heard a muffled groan from around him, and when he looked around, he screamed out; a feathered arrow was nailed to Su Jin's thigh, from It shot obliquely from above, and pierced through from the inside below, blood flowed profusely immediately, and Su Jin's painful face was like gold paper.

The broken dynasty climbed up the wall, saw Su Jin hit the arrow, and cursed anxiously: "Ma Han, you idiot, you didn't get hurt, but let the young master get hit by the arrow, how did you protect it?"

Ma Han sweated profusely and was speechless, Su Jin gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay, let's go quickly."

Chao Chao hugged Su Jinyong and jumped off the wall, and several people jumped off immediately, rushing towards the dilapidated houses and bushes on both sides. Shouting to hide and kill, it was the exposure on the camp wall that made General Xia quickly mobilize a soldier from the outer camp to arrest him.

Wang Chao put Su Jin on Ma Han and shouted: "Ma Han, take the young master and go first, and I will take the two brothers to resist for a while."

Ma Han shouted: "You take the young master and go, I will resist, it is I who caused the young master to be injured."

Chao Chao stomped his feet and scolded: "You still don't listen to me at this time, you are mad at me to death."

Su Jin held back the pain and said: "Stop fighting, let's go together, listen, running directly is definitely useless, they will definitely mobilize the army to surround them, we have to find a place to hide first, the wounds of me and Zhang Long Stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise you will bleed to death; first rush into the ruins and bushes, where it is also convenient to defend against the enemy."

Wang Chao carried Su Jin on his back without saying a word, and ran into the ruined woods dozens of steps away. Xia Jun soldiers chased them with clamor and shouts, and rushed into the abandoned houses to search among the bushes; the dark sky helped Su Jin and others The busyness of the people, the vertical and horizontal lanes and ruined walls among the abandoned houses also gave them room to move. Fortunately, the number of soldiers in this team was only more than 200, and most of the soldiers rushed into the inner camp. It would indeed take some time to search for the five people who fled quickly in the vast ruins, but when they were searching inch by inch, the Dynasty had followed Su Jin's instructions, turned from the east to the south, and then went to the south. After running west for a while, I came to the back wall of the temple with a tall stupa.

The reason they were not in a hurry to leave the vicinity of the barracks was that Su Jin's leg was bleeding profusely, and he was already in a semi-comatose state, and urgently needed to find a place to stop the bleeding.And everyone knows that from the moment the barracks caught fire to now, the government of Huizhou and the garrison must have gotten the news, and they are mobilizing officers and soldiers from all directions to rush here. At this moment, they are rushing out of the protection of the ruins. Get up and count again.

Everyone climbed over the wall and entered the dilapidated pagoda, and they breathed a sigh of relief. After finding a dark corner and blowing on the fire to take a picture of Zhang Long and Su Jin's injuries, everyone gasped. gas.

Zhang Long was shot by an arrow in his shoulder, and he stretched out his hand to pull it out, and he has supported it with a brave spirit until now. The wound on his shoulder is bleeding continuously, and it seems to be festering at this moment; while Su Jin's arrow wounded The position is extremely awkward. The arrow passed through the thigh and came out from the inside, and it was only a hair's breadth away. comatose state.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Wang Chaocha was at a loss, and Ma Han and Zhao Hu remembered turning around.

Su Jin said in a weak voice: "I pulled out the arrow,... I have medicine in my bosom... I will apply the medicine first."

Wang Chao reached out and found a bunch of things in Su Jin's arms. Su Jin looked at a small porcelain bottle and nodded, "It's this bottle of medicine." At that time, Yan Biyun personally came to the door to apologize and gave Su Jin medicine for the wound, and Su Jinzhen took it with him all the time.

Chao Chao carefully cut off the protruding part of the arrow with a scimitar, reached out and grasped the tail of the arrow and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, hold on, I'm going to draw the arrow."

Su Jin nodded and said hoarsely: "Come on!" After saying that, he reached out and lifted the corner of his clothes and bit it.

Wang Chao took a breath, gritted his teeth and exerted force, and heard a puff, the arrow was pulled out of the flesh, and a stream of blood spurted out.

Su Jin snorted, clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Wang Chao hurriedly applied the wound medicine in the bottle to Su Jin, tied it tightly with cloth strips, and wrapped it tightly. I was relieved.

Su Jin let go of his lips, blood oozes from the gap between his teeth, and a big hole was bitten in the corner of the dropped clothes. Everyone knows that Su Jin has never suffered such a serious crime, and it is not easy to be able to grit his teeth and resist.

Zhang Long over there also took wound medicine, wrapped his shoulders with cloth strips, and hung his entire left arm on his chest. Zhang Long's skin was rough and fleshy, and he didn't care at all if it wasn't for excessive bleeding and lack of strength.

Fortunately, both of them had injuries to the flesh, but not to the bones. Although the injuries were serious, as long as the bleeding stopped, they would not be in danger for the time being. What needs to be worried now is the situation outside. At that time, there was no place to hide, and the bloodstains left along the way would also be searched here by Xia Jun, who searched carpet-like.

Hearing the noise of people outside and horses neighing, the sound seemed not far away, and everyone was worried and at a loss.

"Brothers." Su Jin opened his closed eyes.

"My lord, please order." Wang Chao and the other four quickly responded.

"Today is no luck. The city of Huizhou must be heavily guarded. Even if we can escape from this pagoda, we will definitely not be able to escape from Huizhou city. In addition to my injuries, there is no hope of escape, so I I have a few words to tell you."

"My lord, don't be discouraged, there is no unparalleled road." Wang Chao said.

Su Jin nodded and said: "Although this is the case, we have to accept our fate. Fortunately, we have made a remarkable achievement today. The grain and grass in the enemy camp may have hundreds of thousands of stones. We burned it today, and Yuan Hao has no food and grass. If the supplies are supplied, the troops will surely retreat, and our city of Weizhou is safe.”

Wang Chao and others remained silent, waiting for Su Jin to continue.
