Chapter 21: Victory
(Thank you for the tips of Phantom Xinchen and Nanyang Huo, Xie Lu and Xie brothers for their support!) )
The land of Qilu was originally the hometown of etiquette, but after the great war in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties and the Anshi Rebellion a hundred years ago, hundreds of people in the land of Yanzhao north of the Yellow River moved south. There are even many who came from the sea and west in the Liaodong area of Liaoxi, and a large number of northerners poured in, which made the people of Qilu who originally admired literature and etiquette also dyed a little bit of martial arts.
The men of Wang Lizhuang have basically practiced martial arts and practiced fists, feet, sticks and kung fu since childhood. Although it is not said that everyone can ride and shoot like Li Jing, most of them are physically strong and have learned to use guns. It's just that although these young juniors have all learned martial arts, when they first faced those outlaw bandits, they seemed to have completely forgotten their skills. was rushed by those hideous-looking bandits, and they all shrank into fear.
Fortunately, Li Jing shot down three in a row, and under his order, several young people gradually gathered together. At this time, I saw that Li Jing not only fired another arrow to knock over the other party's leader, but also the other two bandit minions lost their previous momentum and turned to leave. The courage in their hearts was finally inspired.
Holding the spear he had picked up, Li Xiaoshan couldn't catch up, shouted, twisted his waist and raised his arms, and threw the white wax pole spear at one of the bandits.
The other thin dog with a gun did the same, and with the same scream, he threw the spear out of the way.
Only a few steps away, Li Xiaoshan and the spears of the fine dog both hit the target, and the two mountain bandits who were fleeing were shot to the ground with a bang. The little stone and the little carpenter rushed over with their horizontal knives and scabbards.
"Don't die!" Li Jing hurriedly shouted behind and chased after him.
However, he shouted a little late, and one of the two guys was shot directly in the back of the heart by the gun thrown by Li Xiaoshan, and he died on the spot. The remaining one was shot in the back by a gun, and most of his body was red with blood, and he had half a life, but the little stone was extremely fast, and he had already made up for a day on the guy's neck. Now the guy was like a sheep with his neck cut open, struggling with his feet stretched out with the last bit of strength, but as the blood flowed more and more, his struggle became weaker and weaker.
The little carpenter saw that Xiaoshi, Xiaoshan, and the thin dog had all killed one of them, and he hurriedly took the horizontal scabbard as a knife and slashed Li Jing's scarred face with an arrow, and his face was covered with blood.
"Stop, don't die!" Li Jing shouted, he had already seen that this Scarface was a leader. Now that Captain Wang and the others are still surrounded, Li Jing wants to use this scarface as a bargaining chip to temporarily end this scuffle.
Li Jing picked up the scarred face, and saw that although his face was full of blood and terrifying, his eyes were still open, and his mouth and nose were still breathing, and he finally put a snack in his heart. Carrying the scarred face, he quickly glanced at the field, Captain Wang was parrying with a horizontal knife, and the two descendants surnamed Wang were holding a wooden stick and waving left and right, guarding the back of Captain Wang. In addition, Wang Liang and Zhang Zuoyan shrank on the other side with the other two descendants.
"Stop!" Li Jing roared.
The sound of ping-pong gradually stopped, and the four thieves surrounding Captain Wang saw that Scarface and others not only did not solve the archer, but only one person was left, and he was captured by the archer, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"If you don't want him to die, stop immediately." Li Jing took back the horizontal knife from the little stone, and the blade stuck to Scarface's neck, because it was too close, the blade cut through the skin, and a red line flowed down Scarface's neck.
The monkey cheek master in a woman's wedding dress laughed instead of being angry, and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lao Tzu has been doing business for more than ten years, but he was pecked by an eagle today." Good, good, good! Just when everyone was attracted by his words, the other three bandits who had already stopped suddenly shot out, and pointed their knives and guns directly at the two juniors behind Captain Wang. Both of them had already relaxed just now, they were caught off guard, screamed twice, and were knocked to the ground.
After the bandits knocked down the two offspring, they did not stop, but attacked the back of Captain Wang again, and the big boss also made a sudden move, Captain Wang fought for a long time, and suffered several wounds on his body, at this time the abdomen and back were attacked by the enemy, with one enemy and four, and then couldn't hold on, the horizontal knife in his hand was picked off by the spear, and the tip of the spear on the monkey's cheek face was against his throat.
The other two bandits turned around and walked up to the injured Wang Liang and the others, and drove several unarmed wounded people to Captain Wang's side.
The monkey cheek smiled and said, "Boy, you captured one of our brothers, but we captured seven of you." Acquaintance, immediately let my brother go. ”
Li Jing looked at the situation on the field and frowned slightly. The situation on the field is a bit delicate, Li Jing and their side, except for the five people who followed Li Jing's Xiaoshan and them are all intact, the remaining seven have all suffered injuries of varying degrees and have all fallen into the hands of the bandits.
On the other hand, the bandits initially targeted Captain Wang, giving him the opportunity to shoot three of them with arrows. Later, Xiaoshan and the thin dog killed two more of them, plus Scarface who was injured and caught by them. Five of the ten bandits died, and one was controlled by them. There are only four left on the other side, but there are five on Li Jing's side.
"We let each other go, and then we went our separate ways." There were seven people on his side in the hands of the other party, and Li Jing couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he had to make a hard offer.
"It's okay to change people, but only one for one." The monkey cheek smiled coldly.
Li Jing naturally couldn't agree to this request, and now it was all up to him to make a few bandits stop with this captive. If they put him back, the other party will definitely kill all the people who fell into their hands immediately to vent their anger.
"No, you have to put it all, not one less."
"Don't you think about it!"
The two sides did not agree with each other's conditions, and for a while they held on. Li Jing frowned, if he attacked directly, the five people on their side now have weapons, five spears, and he himself has horizontal knives and bows and arrows, with five against four, you can fight. But now there are not only five fellow villagers in the hands of the other party, but even two Shangguan are also in the hands of the other party. Once the other party kills the hostages first, even if he kills all the bandits, he will not be able to deal with the aftermath.
"Let go of the second master." One of the bandits shouted. Seeing that Li Jing was unmoved, the guy's heart was crossed, and a knife stabbed Wang Liang on the thigh next to him, and Wang Liang screamed like a pig.
Seeing this, Li Jing didn't say anything, and lifted the knife to cut off one of Scarface's ears against his scalp. is more ruthless, Li Jing is naturally not afraid. If the other party stabs someone else, he will also worry about scruples. But since the other party chose Wang Liang to die, Li Jing had no scruples. It is best to force the other party to kill Wang Liang, and he saves trouble.
Scarface lost one ear, gasped in his mouth, and his face was still holding on: "There is a kind of you who will cut the other one too"
Before the words fell, Li Jing raised the knife and cut off the remaining ear of Scarface.
"Let our people go, take twenty steps back, and don't let me say it a second time." Li Jing pretended to be as cold as he could.
The monkey's cheek face was also shocked by Li Jing's actions, only they were the bandits who licked the blood at the tip of their knives, and they didn't take human life seriously compared with others. But I didn't expect to encounter a more ruthless one today.
"Big brother, do it, kill all these donkeys, avenge my brothers, kill them all," Scarface yelled, the green tendons on his neck stood erect, and his face turned red.
The monkey's cheek face was cloudy, and his eyes were like knives staring at Li Jing.
Li Jing also kept looking at the monkey's cheek face, and saw that he was trembling all over, and the fingers holding the knife suddenly turned white.
Li Jing guessed the meaning of the monkey's cheek face to make a move, and hurriedly shouted at Captain Wang: "Do it!" ”
Li Xiaoshan, Xiao Gouzi, Xiao Shi, and Qiu Sheng had been paying close attention to Li Jing for a long time, and as soon as they heard him shout to move, they immediately sank their waists and twisted their hips and shook their arms, and with a roar, they shot the javelin in their hands straight away.
The four large guns did not shoot at four people, but at the same person in groups of two. This is Li Jing's order just now, one person shoots one, although the strike range is wider, but it is not safe. And shooting one person in a group of two, although you can only aim at two, can double the chance of hitting. In today's situation, as long as even one person can be shot on the spot, it will be a great achievement.
Li Jing's judgment was very accurate, and when he shouted the order to attack, the monkey's cheek face clenched the handle of the knife, and he violently raised it and slashed at Wang Liang's neck on one side. At the critical time, Captain Wang kicked out violently, although he was stabbed by another person, but he missed the monkey's cheek face and Wang Liang's killing kick a little. was originally a decapitation, but the most decapitated knife was slashed on Wang Liang's shoulder, and one of his arms was directly cut off.
"Brother, kill all these donkeys, save Erdang," the monkey cried out with a blood-stained broadsword, but before he could finish speaking, suddenly a bloody arrow passed through his chest, interrupting his words. The knife of the monkey's cheek face was still raised in midair, but it never fell again. He snorted a few times and fell to his knees.
Small stones their four throwing guns, shot one of them, and shot him directly. Captain Wang and the other Unity recruits picked up the spears they had shot at them, turned around and killed the remaining two bandits. Li Jing stretched out his bow and arrows in the back, and when he saw the opportunity, he released the cold arrow, and after a while, he finally killed all the bandits.
