In a corner of Shixiang Town, it was the sparsely-traveled afternoon, and the weak cicadas were still working hard to evoke the last sense of existence;
And under the gloomy and satiny sky, whether it is a beggar squatting on a street corner, a hawker sitting on the ground who looks like a nap, or a drunk leaning against the side of the alley, they are all motionless. It is the group sculptures that are generally frozen in this moment.
At this time, the dozens of sturdy pedestrians walking through the street became the noise and variables that broke this solidified market picture; however, they did not stay too much, but came and went quickly. It was fast too, seeing it disappeared behind the distant building again.
And at this time, under the thick wooden roof tile, a hawker with dried salted fish in front of him seemed to be awakened. He turned his eyelids a few times, and looked at the figure far away and renewed a little eagerly. He dozed off; however, when he was awakened by the squeaky sound again, he was shocked to see the person who was touching the gap under the building and tiptoeing over from the root of the wall;
Suddenly, he just wanted to scream, stretched out his hand to push away the flat screen and dustpan in front of him, and then he was stabbed through the vest, and the sound of the full stomach call was only a voice in his mouth. A stream of blood spit out. Then, in the dried fish stall that was knocked open, a sharp, sharp blade appeared astonishingly half-sharpened.
Almost at the same time around the street beggars and drunks in the alley, after someone touched them, they suddenly threw them to the ground and skillfully stabbed them, or wiped their necks, and worked together. The dragged feet and hands quickly carried it away in a relay style, leaving only a pool of blood as proof of its existence.
After a while, the dozen or so burly men who had walked far away also returned, with a little fresh blood on their bodies, joined with the silhouettes of people gathered under the eaves, and continued to be busy.
"Report to the head of the team..."
Afterwards, I was staying in the attic not far away, observing all these old customs through the concealed window panes, and got more accurate feedback.
"A total of seven suspicious people were touched outside..."
"Four of them have hidden weapons..."
"The side of the warehouse has also been cleared..."
"Only one brother had his arm scratched..."
"No more portals and entry and exit locations were found..."
While Zhou Huaian calmly watched Lao Guan giving orders and dispatching manpower step by step, but in his heart he secretly sighed that the remaining three seemed to be unavoidably hurt by salvation.
"You can prepare for the next step..."
Then, he suddenly spoke.
"You must be fast, in case Ye Changmeng makes the other side more alert..."
"Then it will take a lot of twists and turns..."
"I will personally lead the team in front"
Lao Guan nodded to him, and then walked out with the report of the fire chief; then, Zhou Huaian saw another group of people on the opposite street, holding bundles of firewood in their hands. There are utensils such as stoneware jars and jars.
They ran in long lines one after another. After approaching the large warehouse diagonally opposite, they began to spread the firewood in their hands along the roots of the wall, and poured and sprinkled the various colored stoneware on the walls one by one. And by the door.
The last thing that appeared was a few wheelbarrows piled with earth and rocks, just like that, a few strong men pushed directly to the front of the confined warehouse, and then leaned on it, making a slight vibration and noise.
At this time, I finally felt and perceived something inside. There began to appear subtle movements and voices of people talking, seeming to be asking about what happened outside; and when Zhou Huaian started again to scan the range, I felt those original things. Densely gathered together, the human body signals posing, sitting or lying down, have also become standing and walking postures, and then slowly spread from the bottom to the inside of the warehouse and outbuildings. .
And in a ventilation opening at the height of the building, someone began to poke his head and stretch out half of his body, trying to snoop to see what is going on in the front door, and then he was hit by an arrow flying in the sky. He snorted and fell to the wall, splashing dust on the ground.
After the preliminary calculations were completed, Lieutenant Lu, who was still weak, was left to sit in the town camp. By the way, he watched the new pawns who joined the latest and waited for the other pawns to return.
Because there are probably two to three hundred people scattered on the streets; in such a situation where the enemy is dark and self-explanatory, they can only hope and their own quality to be able to mobilize here in time. Reacted and returned to the team on his own.
According to Zhou Huaian’s induction of the approximate number and scale of the warehouse, the number of soldiers in their early 100s was finally spotted, which is also the maximum limit that Laoguan’s team deputy can barely command; among them, there are twenty spear-bearers Make a team, a team of thirty cards, and the rest are all archers in one-color commoners, plus a baffle for everyone.
Then there are those handymen and servants who can only be used to show off their strength. They are given a flag or a piece of wood with a cloth strip to make up the number, and they are used as the momentum and background of the flag wave to deter and delay. The support that the other party may have.
It’s just that compared to the other way to meet and rescue, the fighting power here is not enough because they are several times the manpower of the drinking leaders in the city gate; because these subordinates are better than planned for the safety of their respective leaders. Follow more experienced soldiers.
However, in Zhou Huaian's expectations, they were originally used to attract attention, but they could conceal their actions here.
Therefore, under Zhou Huaian's next suggestion, they also pushed in a few large carts with more lamp oil and firewood, as well as other igniting objects, and rushed out in a rush to open the camp.
But now it seems that I don't know if it is because these thieves are too lax and unprofessional, or because these veterans themselves are good at it; the development of the next situation is obviously better than he predicted.
And the thing that fell was like a signal and a sign. The people inside finally began to notice something was wrong, and began to gather in one place to impact the front door, making a huge knocking and knocking sound. After scanning again, several of the more obvious and strong biological reactions also made Zhou Huaian feel a little surprised and could no longer sit still.
"In this matter, I actually still have something selfish."
Seeing that the battle was about to come, Zhou Huaian walked out of his shelter and stood on the side of the street facing the old man who had just put down his bow and arrow. Off road.
"I know..."
Laoguan was disapproving. .
"But if it were not for the deputy manager, most of the brothers in the camp would have to suffer, but they must not be faked."
"So at the moment you have any methods and countermeasures, please feel free to explain them..."
"Don't be embarrassing me as a vulgar person, bothering to think about it,"
"Then take out the medicine arrow..."
Zhou Huaian also sighed and said flatly
"Get ready to do it..."
After getting rid of the peripheral eyeliner and patrol sentry, use a big cart as a cover with knives and spears to spread out the archers, and pile the firewood around the building, and then ignite them one by one at the same time. Under the situation, it spread quickly, and in a short time it became a section of fireworks shrouded in the periphery of the large warehouse;
Immediately, it ignited the wooden rafters and railings under the high eaves, and turned into a large fire ball that burned upwards, and the tiles that were burned to be brittle, turned into slowly sinking. The potential for collapse. The smashing and crashing sounds in the door became more and more rapid, almost shaking away the trolleys stacked on the door.
The servants who gathered in the upper wind also continued to throw various throws to punish and support the combustion. At this time, a continuous draught wind came along the street, but after the fire turned slightly to the west, it burned more violently and produced more. A lot of black smoke came, and then the houses and buildings nearby were gradually burned up. This is no longer a state of affairs that can be controlled.
And the sound of smashing inside the barn door began to change from various roars and screams to screams and desperate wailing; then, one after another, someone appeared again from the high windows and under the eaves, and each other Pushing and pushing and squeezing are busy trying to jump the wall to escape;
At this time, they are greeted by those bows and arrows that are just in time, and even if someone is lucky enough to flash more arrows, fall under the root of a high wall or have broken hands or feet, they want to climb out of the burning. The fire scene and the falling bricks and tiles are basically an impossible luxury;
In this desperate death trap, the human bodies that fall into various twisted poses when dumping dumplings can only be solidified alive into sections of coke in different poses in the dying struggle.
Only a few people who were on fire were able to run again after falling to the ground. They wanted to escape from this fiery Jedi, but they were pierced back by arrows flying after the temporary bunker across the street, or they fell half-length. In the raging flames, no one was spared.
The miserable state of this scene, even the veterans of the rebel soldiers who have experienced the battlefield can not help but be moved by all kinds of emotions, and the new pawns couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot, or couldn't help bending down to support them. Vomiting up in the throat;
However, in the turbid air filled with protein and fat that was burned, the upper half of the blocked door suddenly shattered.
In the door where many burning fragments were broken and exploded, several people with vigorous skills and smoked gray and black rushed out like an arrow; and in Zhou Huaian's alternative vision, although it was not as obvious and strong as the previous one. , But the fluctuations and signals on the biological field are still obviously different from ordinary people.
"Beware of enemy attacks..."
Therefore, he yelled out almost reflexively,
"On the medicine arrow..."
At this time, the pre-made medicated arrows can be unexpectedly used; at least, when the sight is severely obstructed by the fireworks or the eyes are flushed and blurred, the burning door can be broken. They have been wounded all over, and at this time, it is really difficult to avoid the densely deployed medicine arrows.
Although most of them shot into the air or were blocked by blocks, a few mid-top and broken ones began to gradually take effect, causing the opponent's actions and reactions to become sluggish and eventually blocked. In front of the shields and spears, they were stabbed and overturned one by one in the frenzied waving of blood and dust. .
However, there were more people who were so ashamed that they rushed out along the opening in the upper half of the gate; they scattered on the street and quickly joined the spear team and knife players who advanced in front. , Began to fight in close quarters and torment.
Although these thieves who are on the brink of desperation are desperate to survive, they are still fighting, but the exit that can rush out is too small, and the people who rush out have reached the end of the crossbow; they just pushed the spear team and the players back slightly A few steps later, under the archers who re-adjusted their stance, they collapsed again with many casualties.
In the end, only a few thieves escaped under the cover of dense smoke, and the rest of the thieves who rushed out had already turned into corpses or were dying to be struggling on the ground. But the thief who rushed out of the burning and broken door had a fading trend, and they still fell under the arrow or spear.
Soon piles of half-height corpses piled up on the narrow open space in front of the door, and after pulling a dozen rounds of strings in a short time, the archers also fell into various weakness and temporary relief, and had to rely on it. The remaining spearmen and sword cards blocked the remaining thieves who were still pouring out.
Until Zhou Huaian included everyone present on the scene, their faces were covered with blood and soot splashed in the wind, and no one inside could rush outwards, and silently watch the building complex that collapsed inward, still surrounding it. The sounds of crying father and mother and crying for help in the ignited building;
Zhou Huai finally confirmed that there was no biological reaction in the area of the fire scene, and there were no secret rooms for hiding and refuge; in this way, there were roughly 300 or 400 lives buried in his own indirection. Planning. For a while, he didn't know what it was like and how it felt.
"The detective who stayed on the periphery not long ago reported back..."
I touched the black and gray old pass on his face, but with a complex expression of awe and regret, he turned to him.
"Shiguan is already fighting over there"
"I'm afraid I have already encountered the intercepted thief"
Zhou Huaian came back to his senses again, turning around and looking at the place where a huge clamor was emerging from far away; it was obviously the movement caused by the other party, which distracted and covered up their actions here, so they didn’t remove those The last resort back-up plan comes in handy.
Otherwise, he can only give up the possibility of obtaining all the results, and even abandon the auxiliary personnel brought out, so as to win the opportunity for himself to retreat to the station.
However, what I didn't expect afterwards was when I was embarking on the return journey, I saw fireworks and noise from the station, which made Zhou Huaian's heart chuckle and sink. (End of this chapter)
