Chapter 884: The Old Horse Leads the Way
"Answer my question carefully, but there is a lie, and it will kill you. Got it? Ma Bin shouted in a low voice.
"A good man spares his life, the villain must tell the truth, and he doesn't dare to have half a lie." The old horse said in a trembling voice.
"Okay, you're the defenders of the South City, aren't you? How many men were guarding the gates? Are there any other patrols in the square under the city? Say. Ma Bin asked in a low voice.
The old horse said in a trembling voice: "Returning to the heroes, the villain is indeed the guardian army of Nancheng. More than 200 men were stationed above and below the gates. There were more than eighty men in the tower, and there were three patrols below, one of which was in the doorway and one under the west wall. There were more than 100 people in total. ”
In order to survive, Lao Ma gave a detailed and thoughtful answer, and even said clearly how many people were in the city and under the city.
"Nonsense, how can a city gate be guarded by only so many people? You're not honest. Want to deceive Lao Tzu? Ma Bin shouted.
"No, no, just more than 200 people. It's true. Originally, there were more than 600 people, but the officers and soldiers of Xicheng were attacking the city, and 400 people were taken away in the evening, leaving only more than 200 of us. The old horse swore a curse.
Ma Bin slowly put down the knife he raised, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, and I believe you once." So do the more than 200 of you have any powerful weapons? If something happens here, how do you notify others to come to the rescue? ”
The old horse smacked his lips and said, "What a powerful weapon, one person is only equipped with a knife." All the bows and arrows were taken away, and they were all taken to the western wall to defend the city. If something happens here, fire fireworks for help. The fireworks bomb is in the hands of the castle tower Li Protector. Heroes, you're not going to storm the gates, are you? Ah...... Are you...... Soldiers? ”
"Shut up, who allowed you to ask?" Ma Bin knocked the old horse's head with the back of the knife, and the old horse immediately shut up, suddenly realizing that he was still in danger, and it seemed that he shouldn't be so relaxed.
Sun Dayong on the side asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask a question, do you have a password?" Otherwise, how do you all recognize each other in black robes? ”
"Yes, yes, there are passwords. Tonight's password is: The Holy Father is great, impregnable. The old horse said busily.
Sun Dayong nodded and glanced at Ma Bin. Words like solid are not expected to be made up by this bandit. The impregnable meaning naturally means that Ying Tianfu will not be breached. The choice of this word as the password should be deliberately done by Hai Dongqing, the leader of the bandits, because this is in line with tonight's situation, and it should be true.
"Old horse, what are you rubbing against on a dog's day? Pee and pee for a long time, but can't you make a handcuff against the wall? Haven't you had an afternoon yet? The bandits waiting in the square shouted and cursed impatiently.
The old horse looked at Ma Bin and Sun Dayong pitifully and said, "Good men, I have explained everything, you let me go." I promise not to say a word. If I have one more mouth, I will teach my whole family to die, and teach me to die alone for the rest of my life. ”
Although Lao Ma is a fool, he himself thinks he is a human spirit. Even if he swears at this moment, he still has a back hand. The poisonous oath of the whole family to die and be lonely for a lifetime seems to be extremely sincere, but in fact, he is a single person, and his family has long since died. Even if you break your oath, there's nothing to worry about.
It's a pity that Ma Bin and the others had no intention of letting him go, but his ingenuity was in vain.
"Will I let you go? Not now. Call those men over, and we'll spare your life. Ma Bin said in a low voice.
The old horse cried and said, "Why did you call it?" They didn't listen to me. ”
Sun Dayong shouted coldly: "You just said that there is movement in the alley, ask them to come and take a look." ”
The old horse looked at Sun Dayong blankly, and Ma Bin whispered beside him: "What? Do you want to eat Lao Tzu with a knife? Scream. ”
At this time, the people in the square shouted again: "Old Ma, what are you doing, you bastard?" If you miss the patrol, if you are held accountable from above, everyone will chop you alive. Dog stuff, do you pee or drink pee? It's so grinding. ”
Lao Ma was helpless, and although he realized that something was wrong, he had no choice. He didn't want to be cut off in the head. Although he knew that these people were going to be detrimental to the patrol brothers outside, he didn't care about anything else.
Being held against the back of Ma Bin with a long knife, the old horse staggered at the mouth of the alley, and whispered to the bandits not far away: "Sect servant Zhang, there seems to be movement in this alley, you come and take a look." ”
"What? Moving? What's the situation? The bandits became nervous and drew their blades one after another.
"This ......," the old horse said. Ma Bin pushed it behind him with a long knife, and the old horse concentrated his wisdom and said busily: "Don't panic, I just heard some wind and grass, and I didn't see anything." But we have to be careful. Brothers, don't make a fuss and let everyone else know, if it's a false alarm, you will be scolded. Let's just come in and take a look, I'll be alone...... Don't dare to look. ”
The cult bandits listened to the reason, and the people who were originally going to call people also dispelled this idea. He only drew his knife and slowly walked towards the mouth of the alley.
Ma Bin put the old horse back into the dark shadow in the alley, and the old horse looked at it and trembled with fright. I saw that dozens of people beside me were already holding a crossbow arrow in their hands, and dozens of crossbow arrows were aimed at the mouth of the alley. Lao Ma thought silently in his heart: "Zhang Jiaofu, Wang Er Mazi, Lao Zhao, Lao Qian, don't blame me, I can't do it, I am also forced to be helpless." ”
More than a dozen bandits slowly approached the mouth of the alley, and the leader of the team, Sect Servant Zhang, was a little cautious, stood more than ten steps away from the mouth of the alley, and said to the bandits in front of him: "You guys, go in and take a look." ”
Several bandits agreed, craned their necks and walked into the alley with wide eyes. Seeing this, Ma Bin knew that his plan to lure them all in and kill them had failed, and once these people stuck their heads in, they would immediately find their own personnel. Even if they could be killed, the eight or nine people outside would immediately be alert and raise a warning.
At this moment, it is necessary to make a decision. With a wave of Ma Bin's big hand, dozens of crossbow arrows broke out of the alley. The distance was close, the light was dim, and the crossbows were so strong that it was too late for the bandits to hear the sound of the bowstring rattling. Dozens of crossbow arrows shot straight into the flesh, and none of the dozen or so bandits were spared the arrows. The crossbow arrows were either in the throat or in the chest, and more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground immediately, and most of them were killed immediately. There were two people standing behind, and the soldiers couldn't aim at them, and they were only exposed after the people in front of them fell, so the crossbow bolts didn't hit the vital parts, and they actually let out a loud moan when they fell to the ground.
Sun Dayong's body had already escaped from the mouth of the alley, and he raised his knife and slashed the two to the ground. Ma Bin and others rushed out one after another, dragging the bodies of the fallen bandits into the mouth of the alley quickly, and did not forget to mend a knife in their necks.
The old horse stood against the wall in a daze, and the crotch of his pants was hot, flowing down the roots of his thighs and onto his feet. This is already the second time he has been incontinent tonight. Seeing the other party's murderous methods, Lao Ma's heart was about to stop beating. I was snoring and panting so much that I almost fainted.
It all happened very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, everything was calm. If it weren't for the corpses of the twitching bandits lying in the alley, no one would have thought that a killing had taken place here.
Ma Bin and Sun Dayong were also nervous and gasped, not because they were nervous after killing more than a dozen bandits, but because they were nervous about the moans of the two bandits before they died. In the stillness of the night, the sound is likely to be heard by patrolling bandits in the city or elsewhere. If it alarms them, then it is trouble.
Everyone listened nervously at the mouth of the alley, the surroundings were very quiet, a moon in the sky obscured by clouds shone dimly, and there was no movement in the square at all. In the distance, the sound of shouting and killing, trumpets and war drums came from the direction of Xicheng, and the firelight illuminated the sky in the direction of Xicheng. The war was in full swing there.
There was no movement for a long time, and Ma Bin, Sun Dayong and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't seem to alarm the other bandits. This is actually very understandable, at this moment, in fact, everyone's attention must be focused on the direction of Xicheng, and one or two short moans may not alert them. Moreover, after the ravages and devastation of the cult bandits, there will be startled cries and cries in the people's houses from time to time, which may also confuse the public. In short, the two bandits' dying moans did not alarm any of the bandits up and down the South City Gate.
"He who has no robe puts on the robe of the dead. Fast. Ma Bin shouted in a deep voice. More than a dozen soldiers immediately took action and pulled off the black robes on the bandits' bodies and put them on their bodies. Sun Dayong had already seized more than 20 robes for camouflage, and before leaving, all of these black robes were worn on the soldiers of the forbidden army, but there were still more than ten pieces missing. Now it's all there.
Ma Bin's eyes swept to the old horse who was leaning against the wall and his legs were trembling, the old horse felt bad all over, he felt that he was going to die. I couldn't hold my legs anymore, and I slipped limply down the wall.
Ma Bin walked up to him, sniffed and frowned, "Are you scared to pee your pants?" ”
"Spare your life, spare your life. I'm old and ......young," the old horse begged.
Ma Bin raised his foot and kicked him, scolding: "You are also worthy of the surname Ma?" Lost the people of our old Ma family. ”
"Yes, yes, spare your life, spare your life." The old horse continued to beg for help.
"Spare you or not, look at your performance. Stand up and follow us, and for a while you will be responsible for covering us, and if you play tricks, the fate of these people on the ground will be your fate. Ma Bin said in a low voice.
The old horse threw up his hands again and again, and tried to stand up. Ma Bin turned his head and ordered the two soldiers: "You hold him, but if he makes any move, he will cut him with a knife." ”
The two soldiers whispered a promise and stepped forward to clamp the old horse, one left and one right. Ma Bin said to Sun Dayong: "Brother Sun, it's time for us to do it." ”
Sun Dayong nodded and said, "Obey Master Ma's orders." ”
Ma Bin smiled and nodded, waved his hand and shouted, "Cover your head and face with a hood, let's go." ”
Everyone walked out of the alley and came to the square, and went west along the side of the square, walking dozens of steps away without any abnormality. The crowd turned south and went straight to the staircase on the west side of the city gate cave. About thirty paces away from the city wall, suddenly someone in the direction of the city gate asked in a deep voice: "Password." The Foreseek's Most ......"
Everyone turned their heads to look and found that at some point, dozens of black shadows appeared at the entrance of the city gate, which were bandits hidden in the city gate.
"Solid,......" Ma Bin replied in a deep voice.
When the other party saw that the password was right, they relaxed one after another.
"What team are you on?" A bandit leader asked.
Ma Bin stabbed the old horse. Lao Ma hurriedly said: "Servant Zhou, it's me, I'm Lao Ma." ”
