In Shixiang Town, the yard where the whistle team temporarily stopped was once again filled with the strong smell of fireworks and blood.

In the specially opened corner, the blood on more than a dozen corpses that were covered up in hastily solidified, and there were twice as many minor and serious wounded people who were lying on a temporary lifting rack made of door panels. They were all kinds of groaning and wriggling. This was the price paid after the attack from another direction.

However, the brow damage caused by the head-on battle was actually minimal. In front of the archer who quickly turned around, the enemy attacking the other way did not persist longer; because of the slight delay in the yard, they were able to rush closer to some western exits, and then blocked the way in front of the spearheads and blocked swords and cards that were arranged in the gap between the large workshops. Waving the obviously shorter weapons, Huo Zi shouted and scolded, chopped and chopped for a while without getting ahead, and finally left some poked bodies, he had to shout his father and mother to catch up and shoot, and then collapsed again and returned in disgrace;

But an accident occurred in the final part of this process;

Because Zhou Huaian, who had scanned the retreating enemy again, suddenly felt that on the side of his defense line, more than a dozen people secretly climbed the wall from the building; one of them had more vital signs than ordinary people. Most of these casualties were almost the consequences of this person with particularly strong vital signs; because he discovered it later, he had already brought this person very close, rushed into the civilians who were on standby and relay in the rear, and slashed and killed them in a big way;

Therefore, even if the archer of the shooting team immediately turned around, it was too late, especially the strong man in the lead, who was waving a heavy fork-headed iron rod and rarely matched his opponents; the person who was hit or wiped by him either blossomed on the top of the head and helmet, or his hands, feet, and torso were crunched and sank into it; it immediately caused many casualties, chaos and shake from the inside out; if the enemy on the street had not been repelled, the opponent's chance to cooperate in the launch had been missed, and it would almost cause a complete collapse of the enemy.

In the end, Lao Guan waved a painted wooden sign to accompany the strong man's attack at the cost of being dislocated on his left wrist. He created the opportunity for the old soldiers who were attacking him with a spear. Finally, he kept bleeding and tried to take off his strength and fell to the ground, and was shot to death by the bow and arrow under the corner of the wall beside the door.

Although the distance between him and the other party is still safe, every time I recall this, Zhou Huaian would feel cold and sweating behind him; the real war is indeed full of accidents and variable probabilities, and making mistakes inadvertently may lead to a loss in the whole world, or a result of endless dooms.

Then, between his meditation and reflection, the new soldiers who were scattered out to clean the battlefield and collect available materials, but they all rushed back in shock and fell, and looked behind them carefully, but the defeated enemies returned in a chaotic and resolute momentum.

This time they finally learned their lessons or washed away the lessons. The enemies standing in the front row had already picked up various baffles in different shapes and various types. While shouting and driving behind, the timid dogs hugged their bodies and almost pushed forward. However, with this buffering and gap, the archers in the camp were further expanded; in the end, more than 200 people picked up various bows and arrows and joined the battle sequence in the rear.

Although most of them may not be able to use bows and arrows skillfully, in critical situations, as long as they can pull the bowstring and radiate in the general direction; anyway, the streets are only a little wide and the crowds are so dense that even if they close their eyes, they have a certain chance of hitting. So under the extremely unprofessional knitting between both sides, fierce battles broke out again.

During this period, due to the enemy's momentum on the front several times, someone tried to climb up the eaves again, and followed the building up the place of the yard; but this time they encountered a big pit that was unavoidable. The beams supporting the roof tiles had been tightened and left only a line. Then, after suddenly adding extra weight to the roof, there was a large artificial pit that collapsed into the large area of ​​people and tiles. As long as some sharp and hard bamboo slices were inserted at the bottom of the pit, few of the people who fell down could climb out intact.

Then, due to the negligence and rushing to the fortifications at the door, the defenders held the relatively thick door panel and tried to build a path to cross the obstacles; at this time the reserved emergency measures and killer moves were used. Several large pottery urns burned red charcoal came from the wall next to it, and in an instant, the flying sparks and carbon chips, as well as the scorching smoke that rolled and spread, almost enveloped the thieves gathered on the street.

Not only did the exposed legs and feet and arms were burnt, and the stinking smell was unbearable, but the clothes on their bodies and the various baffles in their hands were ignited, most of which were flammable wood products; so, among the wailing and coughing and crying, there were so many people jumping straight into their feet or rolling figures everywhere; the so-called offensive was also called a pool of jokes.

Fortunately, these two waves of thieves attacking in different directions did not have any obvious cooperation and order, nor did they have real connections and echoes, and just a messy wave of pigs suddenly came over; so in the end, there were only dozens of corpses left in front of the two exits, and they had not even touched the door before, and they were beaten and retreated again.

Then, this does not mean that the situation has improved. Taking advantage of the heavy damage to the enemy, Lao Guan, who was defeated again, took advantage of the opportunity to interrogate the accidentally caught prisoners. However, the results were somewhat surprising. The identities of these prisoners were very mixed, and they actually came from different places and origins, including fishermen and woodcutters from nearby villages, as well as tyrants from local merchants in Shixiang Town, and a member of a private trafficker who was actually a waterway vendor.

According to their confessions, the people responsible for leading and commanding them were several former yamen runners and rural village heads, who were ordered to gather in Shixiang Town to do something big. As for the strong man who suddenly entered, he caused more than ten casualties and injuries, he was also a well-known figure with a very good origin. He was the guardian of the Su Taigong family of the Sihui City. A iron rod shocked the mountains and forests and was also called "Iron Staff Lu". He was also a well-known figure in the local area.

This result made Zhou Huaian's mind sink more and more. The more complex their origins are, the more involved they are, it means that the pattern and plan for this incident are larger. And the news that this strong and powerful Han came from Sihui County to support and strengthen local affairs means that the rebel army headquarters in the county can no longer be expected, and even the brigade commander Deng Cunju who went to visit was in danger.

The fighting sounds in the town became more and more intense, especially when they went to the city gate, spies sent out again and again, but they never saw anyone coming back to report or contact him. They saw the firelight in the distance and the smoke and dust rising upwards slowly moving away.

The only thing that made him more at ease and reliance was that after the morale boosted by several battles, there were at least 500 armed young men available here; and at this time, excluding Deputy Commander Lu, who was lying on the bed and humming but lacked presence, the remaining candidates with the highest command order and prestige, were undoubtedly the deputy team guard who had been initially used to following his leader. In this way, even if things were at the worst, he had the corresponding strength to deal with it.

At this time, from the exit direction of the other return, a person was accidentally brought back by the sentry. It was the former team responsible for guarding the yard. His helmet and armor were gone, leaving only a black black mat and short span, and his whole spirit seemed to have collapsed.

"It's over...it's over"

After seeing Zhou Huaian, he shouted in a very pessimistic and disappointed voice like a dream.

"There are ambushings from all directions..."

"The brother who went to pick him up was trapped. I was also squeezed into the ditch and fell to death..."

"There are no ones left...there are only dead bodies left on the ground."

"Now, I'm afraid the lieutenant and the others in the city will be even more unlucky."

Then he stopped suddenly and was slapped loudly by Zhou Huaian, and he fell to the ground and suddenly woke up.

"What are you talking nonsense? Do you want to lose your composure and people's hearts?"

Lao Guan also stepped forward and shouted angrily with a tacit understanding.

"Don't we all die well?"

"The brothers outside are clearly still fighting to the death... are waiting for us to help."

"What are you thinking? Do you dare to curse them like this?"

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As soon as he got up, Lao Guan still refused to give up that little hope easily, and used this reason to remind himself.

"Just taking passive response to the enemy is not a long-term solution."

But after a flash of thought, he continued to follow the other person's words.

"Select some people who are brave and brave to fight, but still have the strength to do it..."

"Follow me to rush out, and get the scattered brothers back first."

"It's also like to find a way for everyone..."
