Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sardine Symphony

"Quick! Faster! ”

Looking at the fire rising in the distance, Pan Jinling urged urgently at the bow of the boat, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man in Yao clothes beside him held the handle of the straight knife at his waist, half of his face was covered with dense scars, and the other half of the melancholy appeared and disappeared in the firelight.

"Sister, it's good to have our man for this kind of thing, what can you do here?"

The young man asked, Pan Jinling gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I can only bite the thief, I will do my best!" ”

The young man frowned: "Can ...... But that's going to die."

Pan Jinling smiled lowly: "Fourth brother's kindness, even if you die, you can't repay it!" Something is going to happen to him, and all I can do is chase him! As a slave and a maid in the underworld, step on the knife mountain and soak the oil pot for him! ”

She looked at the young man, and her eyes were brightened by the firelight: "Pan Shiyu, this is also your Yinling sister's wish, she is already waiting below." ”

The young man named Pan Shiyu looked at him and nodded heavily. Then he shook his head again and said, "Why shouldn't a person like Fourth Brother suffer below, right?" ”

Pan Jinling's eyebrows stretched, and he smiled: "Yes, how can that be ......?"

Her voice lowered, and her tone became uncertain: "People like Fourth Brother shouldn't have an accident at the hands of thieves." I must come, but I feel that if I don't do something, my heart will always be at peace. ”

As he spoke, the boat had already approached the bay, and the sound of shouting and fighting was reaching the blazing heights.

"Quick! Hurry the fuck! ”

Jin Shan Xun, Xiao Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, urging the soldiers to get on the boat. At the end of the night, the three-pillar fire rose in the distance, which was the signal sent by the Tang soldiers of Xiniudu.

"Fourth brother will be fine, right......"

Zhang Ying said this to himself for the tenth time on the side.

"Fourth brother, who is that? What could happen to him!? ”

Liang Deguang's tone was very affirmative, but his face was not very in sync with this.

"That's one or two thousand bandits!"

Zhang Ying was obviously not comforted.

"Nothing like one or two thousand bandits!"

Xiao Sheng roared.

"The fourth brother and I have already predicted, at most they are just a small group of bandits, and they can't turn the sky upside down!"

Zhang Ying and Liang Deguang looked at the string of boats behind them, and there were soldiers getting on the boat in an endless stream, and this fleet also had two or three hundred people, to say the least. The two glanced at each other, and their views were unified, it was really a small group of bandits, why did Xiao Sheng shout at the entire Zuo Battalion......

"Even if there are one or two thousand bandits, the fourth brother should have a way."

Zhang Ying said in a low voice.

"But we have to do our part, don't talk about the complement on the boss, let's ......"

Liang Deguang patted his chest, the two of them were already in cool hats and gowns, and there were seahorse patches sewn on their chests.

"We're not ungrateful."

Zhang Ying nodded, rubbing the complement, his face was full of self-satisfaction, and then his brows furrowed again.

"Even if it's just a small group of bandits, but he has some dolls under his command to use it, and this is the night ...... Hopefully he'll make it to us. ”

The sound of killing outside Zhuangzi shook the sky, but there was silence inside, the men all carried their spears to the periphery of Zhuangzi, and the only thing the old and weak and women inside could do was to bite their lips and prevent themselves from crying and shouting, which confused the minds of their families.

But not all the men went out, on the second floor of the small long building in the center of Zhuangzi, in the classroom next to the staircase, a man was holding a spear, blocking the door of the classroom, looking at his strange posture of holding a spear, the Confucian shirt on his body was still rippling, revealing the horror, knowing that this person was by no means a man who could go into battle against the enemy.

"Quick...... I can't hold it anymore......"

It was just a few catties of spear, which was already as heavy as a mountain in Fan Jin's hand, and he only felt that his knees were about to shake away, and he shouted vigorously in his heart. First there were thousands of homeless people, and now I don't know how many bandits there are, and then I think of the suffering at home, I am really haunted by bad luck.

"Sir!"

In the classroom behind him, children in their thirties and forties were sitting quietly in their seats, and some children finally couldn't resist the fear, shaking the desks while screaming, Fan Jin turned his head and shouted: "Don't move!" Do you want to be taught by me? ”

This drink frightened the kid into silence, and Fan Jin also felt that he was not trembling much. He breathed a sigh of relief, placed the spear horizontally on the bookcase, lit the core of the oil lamp, picked up the chalk, and wrote a line on the blackboard from left to right: I want to be alive, and I want more than the living, so I don't want to get it.

"Sir is now teaching you a passage from Mencius, which is that everyone wants to live and want to die. But there are many things that are more important than life. Even though we have nothing, we still have integrity. When the sword is coming, we must also be quiet and calm......"

As soon as he said this, he heard the cheers outside Zhuangzi, and he could faintly hear the words "Fourth Brother", and there was a sound of exhalation in the classroom, and the depression was suddenly swept away, and Fan Jin also had to hold the bookcase with both hands to prevent himself from falling down.

"The fourth brother is here!"

In the small courtyard deep in Zhuangzi, the mother and daughter of the Guan family were gathering in the small courtyard where Li Shi entered, and the three women, big and small, were guarding the door, looking at the firelight. Hearing this shout, Guan Xuan cried out happily, while Guan Tian and Guan Yunniang supported each other, patting their chests vigorously.

Several villagers with spears passed by outside the courtyard, and one of them stopped and looked at the door, and by the light of the fire, he could faintly see that it was Tian Qing.

"Brother Tian Qing, do you want to kill thieves too? Be careful! ”

Although he is still very uninterested in Tian Qing, at this critical juncture, Guan Xuan still cares about him as a cousin after all.

"Yes...... yes......"

Tian Qing responded rather embarrassedly, but his gaze crossed the threshold and stopped on another person, but the person turned away to avoid his gaze.

Tian Qing gritted his teeth and continued to move forward with a spear. At the gate of the courtyard, Guan Tian wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, so he could only gently pat his eldest daughter's back and comfort her silently.

Outside Zhuangzi, Niu Shiyi's throat let out a strange whimper, and as far as he knew, he was crying.

Running along the ditch to the east, I originally felt that I was defeated, they were thieves, running for their lives is commonplace, there is no faceless entanglement, anyway, the small life is the capital, this gambling missed, just come again next time.

When he used the walled fort deep on the other side of the river in the southwest as a stronghold, he knew the terrain here, and the east and south sides were the river banks, as long as he went down the river, no one could catch up in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, less than a hundred steps out, a wall of spears suddenly appeared in the ditch, and it crashed straight into it like a torrent of sluice. Niu Shiyi's whole body was nailed to the ground like an ice sculpture, but the people on the left and right didn't react as quickly as he did, and still followed the habitual surname under his feet and pounced forward. Then Niu Shiyi was knocked down by the people behind him, countless feet stepped on his back, and his consciousness became trance-like, leaving only a twisted cry of despair and helplessness.

Fluffy ......

The two groups of people met in the ditch, throwing up a large amount of liquid, which changed in light and darkness in the firelight, not as scarlet, but more terrifying. One side came prepared, and the other side rushed around. One side is in a tight and neat formation, the six-foot spear is not long, but it is dense and powerful, and the other side is disorganized, and the length of the blade is uneven. The consequences of such a collision are self-evident.

The integrated spear wall turned the front row of the thieves into a silent collection of flesh and blood at the first time, but then a large group of bandits poured in, and the spear wall was suddenly shaken, and then slowly retreated.

"Stand firm! This level can't even compare to the slightest hair of muddy water! ”

Jia Hao shouted as he pulled out the tip of the spear that he had nailed to the heart of a bandit. This guy had already crashed into his arms, and the waist knife in his hand was still held high, but he was stabbed to death by Jia Hao holding the front end of the spear. Another bandit trampled on the corpse and rushed closer in two steps.

Jia Hao just held the handle of the spear, and the forward stab again was held by the bandit because of the lack of space and insufficient strength. But the guy didn't expect that the front end of the spear was actually a short sword close to two feet, and with a cry, he quickly threw away the shuttle mark in his other hand, held it together with both hands, and put the spear tip of the spear in front of him, and the two of them consumed it like a cow.

I have to admit that this bandit is indeed fierce, both hands have been cut by the blade, and the spear is still held steadily, seeing that he is using the thrust of his accomplices behind him, he shouted loudly and suddenly exerted force, to twist the tip of the spear. Jia Hao also snorted, and the leather boots under his feet gave him full strength, so that he was not pushed back by the bandits.

"Ouch...... Shoes for the mother......"

After a top, the bandit only had time to say this, his body was crooked, Jia Hao's spear smoothly poked into the shoulder blade of this guy, and two miserable howls sounded almost at the same time, his spear penetrated the person in front of him, and also stabbed into the chest of the bandit in the back row.

The two thieves in front of him and one in the back lay down, and the foot of the one in the front row was thrown high, and a straw sandal with a twisted strap separated from the bottom straps on his feet swayed leisurely.

"Climb up!"

However, the small spear wall of twenty people steadily blocked dozens of bandits in the ditch, and the bandits gave up the hard impact again, and began to plan to escape from this ditch of death. This ditch is not deep, nor shallow, and you must use your arms to climb out. The bandits were like foaming in a boiling pot, and they climbed up the ditch on both sides.

In the sound of footsteps, the pursuers on both sides of the inner and outer sides had already arrived, and the bandits had just climbed out of the ditch when they were stabbed into the ditch by spears. Hu Hanshan on the outside is the front row, he has already rushed to Jia Hao's spear wall, and saw a bandit jumping up the ditch deftly, he picked up the spear and stabbed it diagonally.

The thief had just stabilized his body, and he didn't have time to exert his strength, and when he saw the spear reaching his face, he opened his mouth in horror and wanted to shout, but with a pop, the tip of the spear entered through his mouth. As if he had punctured a water bag, a large cloud of blood gushed out of his mouth.

Seeing that another thief also crawled out of the ditch, Hu Hanshan drew his spear back, but he used too much force, and the blade of the sword stuck in the bandit's skull, which almost brought the corpse into his arms.

Hu Hanshan roared angrily, pushed with both hands, threw the corpse down the ditch with the spear, and flew up again, and the soles of the iron-clad wooden boots nailed with iron palms slammed into the knees of the other bandit, and a crackling sound was heard, and the bandit rolled into the ditch with a wail.

"Take it!"

Jia Hao pulled out the spear on the corpse's head, raised his hand and threw it out of the ditch, Hu Hanshan continued, hehe, smiled, like stirring molten iron, and stabbed the heads of the bandits below one by one on the ditch.

There is the blocking of Jia Hao's team in front, and there is the pursuit of Wu Ya's team in the back, the villagers such as Tian inside, and the interception of Li Shi and Hu Hanshan outside, when the villagers stabbed more than ten bandits who climbed up to the inside of the ditch, in this shallow ditch of twenty or thirty meters, the one hundred and twenty thirty bandits did not distinguish between life and death, like a canned sardine that had been uncovered, and was tightly sealed on all sides.

"Spare your life! Heroes spare their lives! ”

"We are also poor! Don't poke it! Ahem......"

"Where's Niu Eleven!? We are bewitched by him! ”

After not hearing the leader's voice for a long time, the bandits finally broke down, threw away their weapons, and knelt down in the ditch with their heads in their hands.

Li Xian soaked the spear with blood and water so that the spear body was slippery and his hand stood on the ground, panting, although the top of his head was still pitch black, a round of red words had already risen in his heart.
