Chapter 17 Sudden Enemy Attack
Seeing Li Zhiwan's solemn expression, the servant hurriedly explained the matter in detail.

"It's not good. The whole Qiqian Village is just waiting to be recruited. The officers and soldiers suddenly attacked, so they must be at a loss. That little thief surnamed Li definitely thought that I was treacherous and lied to him." Li Zhiwan said in a deep voice.

"Miss, this is the end of the matter, and there is no way to fix it." Followed by the maid next to Li Sanniang, he explained that he was not angry with the bandits who robbed Li Sanniang and the Qiqian Village, but now that he heard that the local county magistrate was going to punish him, his heart turned instead Even more happy.

Li Zhiwan slapped the horsewhip falsely and said: "No, so what is the faith of my Li family? I was supposed to go there in person, but it is too late now, Jianxue, Li An, Li Song, you three ride your horses immediately , rushed to Qiqianzhai to find Yin County Magistrate, and told him not to encircle Qiqianzhai, understand?"

The two servants and the maid all said: "Yes, Miss." At that moment, the three of them turned their horses' heads and galloped towards the city gate.

In Qiqian Village, two groups of local soldiers advanced slowly.Among the two groups of town soldiers, four raised their shields to cover the outside, and four opened their bows to look around, while the two gang leaders were in the middle to dispatch.

The two groups of local soldiers had just rushed under a tree with a big crooked neck, when a row of bandit archers appeared on the low wall rammed with loess, and shot at the group of local soldiers.The village soldier shrank his hands behind the shield, only hearing the sound of the bow and feather breaking through the air and being nailed to the round shield.The archers behind them took advantage of the momentum to counterattack, but the arrow feathers were sparse.

After a few breaths, I think the bandit's archer is weak and the arrow has stopped.A gang leader was waiting to look again, just at this moment of slight negligence.

"puff!"

An arrow feather flew towards him coldly, piercing through the pigskin armor in front of the gang leader, and shot the opponent to death.When the gang leader vomited blood and fell to the ground to death, the soldiers on the side never dared to show their faces again, and all hid behind a low house.

"What a thief!"

In front of the army, seeing one of his gang leaders with good martial arts skills being killed, the brigade leader surnamed Gao couldn't help but angrily said, "It's so rampant in front of me."

The strong bow sharpshooter in Qiqianzhai who sniped at the county magistrate of Yin fired again, and just now he shot three more arrows. Except for one arrow that missed, and a team leader who shot and killed a village soldier before, this time he shot dead here again. a gang leader.Two officers have now died at the hands of each other.

The bandits took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to compete with the officers and soldiers.The officers and soldiers tried to break in forcibly several times, but at some point, the trap dug by the bandits slammed down the ropes, which damaged several people.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers did not dare to break in easily.The county magistrate of Yin immediately changed his tactics and fought house by house, reducing his own casualties by reducing the bandit's room for movement.But in this way, he was stopped by bandit archers and shot and killed such officers as the team leader.

With the military system of the army, five people form a group, and a group leader is set up.Every 50 people is a team, set up a team.There is one brigade for every hundred people, and a brigade rate is set.The three brigades are combined into one regiment, led by a school lieutenant.But this time, the formation of three hundred township soldiers was less than a regiment. The regiment originally had no more than five people, and the brigade led two people.When the team leader was shot and killed, the other township soldiers did not dare to fight forward bravely.Therefore, the advance speed of the officers and soldiers was greatly slowed down.

The county magistrate of Yin pointed at the cottage house tamped with loess and said, "I just wondered why the bandits gave up the wooden walls so quickly and retreated into the house. It turned out that they planned to fight us in the street. During the street battle, our officers and soldiers lost their position and retreated. Inconvenient, it seems that among the bandits, there are also people who know soldiers."

Gao Lu led his fists together and said: "The last general begs for orders to give the head of the sharpshooter among the bandits to the Ming government."

"Thank you." County Magistrate Yin nodded with a cold gaze.

At present, Gao Brigade led two groups of rural soldiers and entered the stronghold.

At this moment, Li Chongjiu shot an arrow from the roof, and then climbed down the ladder with the three stone bow on his back.The dozen or so bandits who were supporting him all praised in unison: "You are the master, you are good at archery!"

Hearing this, Li Chongjiu smiled slightly.The archers of the Sui Dynasty generally had to shoot more than seven arrows within ten breaths to be qualified.Li Chongjiu shoots an arrow like this and rests for half an hour, which is what kind of marksman.

Right now, I still need to work on my strength and strengthen my arm strength and physical strength.And just now he shot and killed a gang leader of the other party, and he was the second person he killed after crossing. Seeing the other party's blood splattered, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but look unbearable.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu asked the bandit, "How many people escaped from the secret passage at Juyi Hall?"

A bandit replied: "If you go back to the young master, I just came back from there, and I have already escaped more than 40 brothers. Except for the fifth master who went ahead, the eldest master and the fourth master are still there."

Li Chongjiu nodded. Although they are the rear of the palace, they are not afraid of the army.Firstly, the only son in the family has already left first, and secondly, the family has a brother who has escaped, so he is also willing.What's more, those who are in charge of the big and the young are still here, so the morale is not lost.Among the bandits, there are desperate ones, and now that everyone is gathered together, they are more courageous.

"Young master, now the chief master, the fourth master, and the fifth master are all gone, we all follow your orders, what should we do next?" Wang Mahan raised his Xuanhua ax and said loudly.

Among these people, several of them were rescued by Li Chongjiu from Wang Junkuo's whip, and now Li Chongjiu is the only one to follow.Seeing that these people listened to him, Li Chongjiu was not polite.In the past, there were thousands of employees in his company, but now he can handle less than forty or fifty bandits with ease.

Li Chongjiu said immediately: "Very good, now there is no need to compete with the officers and soldiers for the houses on the outer perimeter. Tell the brothers, everyone retreats in, guards the houses on the inner perimeter, and supports them for a while."

"Brother Wang, you take a few brothers who are good at kung fu, and go outside to meet the brothers in a few houses and return."

"There are also piles of firewood and fuel on all sides of the Juyi Hall."

After Li Chongjiu gave orders one by one, everyone saw that the master was calm and calm. In this environment, they were still organized and very confident.Everyone agreed with a bang, and went to their own businesses.Li Chongjiu returned to the roof to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers.In his eyes, these officers and soldiers did not advance too fast.It is completely different from the previous decision to quickly break through the sky and burn the outer wall of the cottage.

After attacking the interior of the cottage, they were even more careful. They didn't even use strong bows and crossbows to shoot at each other, and they didn't even use fire to attack like burning the outer wall.The movements of the officers and soldiers were a little cautious, as if they were worried that they were pressing their own side, making them jump over the wall in a hurry.

And the officers and soldiers seem to have conducted a careful search of every occupied house.Li Chongjiu saw all of this, but in the view of the bandits, thanks to the officers and soldiers, otherwise the time left for the bandits in Qiqianzhai to retreat would really be running out.

"Why do the officers and soldiers seem to be looking for someone? They want to drive us all to death." Li Chongjiu doubted in his heart.

After retreating to the inner room, after Li Chongjiu shot and killed a gang leader of the other party, he and the three bandits got down the house from the escalator and were about to climb over a low wall.A bandit leaned on the wall, covering all sides with a knife, and jumped down the low wall vigilantly.Li Chongjiu and the two bandits followed behind and also jumped off.

And at this moment, a cold light suddenly flew out from the chicken coop in the fence next to it.The bandit who jumped off his guard in advance was unable to guard against it, and was pierced between the eyebrows by this cold light.

"Junior three!" The other two bandits snorted, and looked at their fallen companion, only to see a short knife stuck between his eyebrows.

"Be careful!" Li Chongjiu snorted.

At this time, with a bang, the wooden chicken cage suddenly fell apart.Chicken feathers all over the place, and smoke and dust scattered all over the sky.There was a chicken smell in the air.I saw an officer, a soldier, jumping up in front of his eyes, and slashed directly at a bandit.The knife went so fast that the bandit froze in place, unexpectedly caught off guard.

When he saw the knife slashing down, Li Chongjiu drew the knife aside, holding the handle of the knife with both hands.

With a choking sound, the cold knife was unsheathed.Li Chongjiu held the knife, the blade sparked a bright yellow flame in the air, and the sound of broken iron rubbing against each other was extremely ear-piercing.

When the other party saw Li Chongjiu blocking his sure-to-kill knife, his face was slightly surprised, but he didn't panic, and kicked a sneak attacking bandit away.Immediately afterwards, he slashed Li Chongjiu for the second time!

After the blow just now, Li Chongjiu's arms trembled a little, but seeing that the opponent acted as if nothing had happened, he made a second strike.Right now Li Chongjiu knew in his heart that the opponent was better than him no matter in terms of martial arts or arm strength.In the realm of life and death, Li Chongjiu gritted his teeth and drew his sword to meet him.

There was a muffled hum.Li Chongjiu was directly slashed by the opponent and took a step back.

When the opponent was about to take advantage of the momentum to attack, he saw that Li Chongjiu had already expected this consequence, and with a step on his heel, he not only stopped the retreating momentum, but also swung in the opposite direction.A look of astonishment appeared on this person's face for the second time.At the same time, another bandit who had just been rescued by Li Chongjiu also drew his sword.The two knives approached at the same time, the man's momentum was slightly frustrated, and he couldn't help taking a step back.

At this moment, the bandit who kicked away for him, also struggled to get up, and stabbed down at the opponent's hamstring with a knife.

"Looking for death!" A look of anger appeared on this person's face, and he raised his sword.

puff!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the sneak attacking bandit was disemboweled with a single blow.Seeing this person raise his hand, he killed two people in a row.The other bandit was already sweating profusely, and his footsteps were sloppy, while Li Chongjiu held his breath, with his back slightly arched, holding a knife in both hands, and staring at him closely.

"interesting!"

The man smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Gao. This time I'm going to attack the bandits. Don't forget when you get off the Yellow Springs." The piece buzzed and shook continuously, and the blood of the two people killed just now flowed down.
