A knife in love

Chapter 336

The three of them discussed for a while, Zhu Sanjia was familiar with the rules of the barracks, and repeatedly told Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan that after they arrived at the barracks, he would take care of everything, and they just had to follow behind him and adjust accordingly.

The three of them quietly walked down the mountain. Before they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw lanterns and torches scattered not far away, and from time to time a small group of soldiers patrolled around with knives and guns.Zhu San's family turned their heads and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan in a low voice: "You two must be careful, if there is any matter, I will handle it. If we are spotted by the officers and soldiers, you will go all the way inside. I'll cut it off for you."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Let's advance together and retreat together, don't say such depressing words! If we are discovered by the officers and soldiers and scattered by them, we will break up into the encirclement of the officers and soldiers separately. It is night now, and the officers and soldiers will not After we break into the encirclement, we will go to Liu Yong, the star-picking swordsman of the Huashan faction."

When he said this, he glanced at Zhu Sanjia, then at Murong Danyan, and said in a deep voice: "We just want to meet up with the group of heroes, it's best to cover up the past, don't kill people lightly."

Murong Danyan naturally knew what Li Qiufeng meant, and said: "Brother Li, I know you are afraid of me messing around. You can rest assured, I know the priorities."

Li Qiufeng's thoughts were guessed by Murong Danyan, he was a little embarrassed, and was about to say more.Zhu Sanjia said in a low voice: "The two patrol teams have just passed by, let's go down the mountain quickly."

After Zhu Sanjia finished speaking, he straightened his body, held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand, pressed the scabbard with his left hand, and strode forward.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan also followed his example and followed closely.After walking more than thirty steps, he entered the army formation.The Fifth Army Battalion came to intercept the heroes of the rivers and lakes this time, and they had already formed a siege, ready to attack at any time, so they did not set up camp.The soldiers and horses of each department guarded the garrison according to the formation, and the soldiers sat around and rested in sequence.Only the patrolling soldiers wandered around in groups, and the lanterns and torches illuminated the general formation as bright as day.

The three of them walked into the army formation, only to see officers and soldiers everywhere, even though the three of them were highly skilled and bold, their hearts were still pounding.At this time, officers and soldiers of patrolling teams were passing by each other, and when they met the three of them, the leader of the officers and soldiers nodded slightly with Zhu Sanjia, and then passed by.

After walking for a long time, the three of them felt relieved when they saw that the patrolling soldiers were not suspicious.Just now, the three of them looked down at the barracks from the hillside of Hutou Rock, and they could clearly see the formation of officers and soldiers and the positions of the besieged gangsters.It's just that after entering the army formation, although they were close to the officers and soldiers and the heroes of the rivers and lakes, they couldn't judge where they were, so they had to walk forward in the direction in which the heroes were surrounded.

The three of them walked forward all the way, and the more they walked, the more officers and soldiers there were. At the end, the officers and soldiers they saw were standing upright with swords and guns in hand, unlike the officers and soldiers on the outer layer who were sitting on the ground and resting.Li Qiufeng knew that the officers and soldiers must be divided into several teams. The officers and soldiers on the outermost layer rested, while the officers and soldiers on the inner layer were on full alert.Seeing the officers and soldiers in front of him so heavily guarded at this time, he was also secretly surprised.

At this moment, Zhu Sanjia stopped, looked around, and saw groups of officers and soldiers ready to attack at any time, but no one noticed the three of them, so they lowered their voices to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan Said: "There are many officers and soldiers here, and it is not far from the group of heroes. But if the three of us walked over in such a swaggering manner, the officers and soldiers would definitely become suspicious and come over together. I am afraid that the three of us will not be able to save anyone, but we will not escape death. .So the three of us have to take advantage of the officers and soldiers changing defenses, and then try to sneak past."

Li Qiufeng had planned this for a long time, so he nodded.Zhu Sanjia saw that there were more than a hundred officers and soldiers in each team in front of them, and they stood neatly in line. There were only three people on their own side. Step down, still pretending to be patrolling soldiers, lingering behind the standing officers and soldiers of the brigade.At this time, the three of them happened to be in the zone between the resting officers and soldiers on the outer layer and the officers and soldiers preparing to attack on the inner layer. There were many officers and soldiers in the inspection team, but it was not noticeable.

It's just that after going on this road for more than half an hour, the officers and soldiers did not change their defenses. Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia were still calm, and Murong Danyan was quite impatient, but she also knew that this trip was of great importance. I had no choice but to force myself to hold back the anxiety in my heart, and walked slowly forward by the side of Zhu Sanjia.

After another half an hour, it was already Chou Shi, and there was no sound in the surroundings except for the whirring sound of burning torches.Between the heaven and the earth, everything seemed to be overwhelmed by the might of the tens of thousands of troops, filled with a palpitating chill.

At this moment, the sound of clappers was suddenly heard.Zhu Sanjia turned his head and looked to the left, only to see five lanterns raised on a high platform.He stopped and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan in a low voice: "The officers and soldiers are about to switch defenses, let's rush over!"

Murong Danyan wondered: "Brother Zhu, how do you know that the officers and soldiers are going to change defense?"

Zhu Sanjia said: "When we were on the hillside, I had already taken a rough look at the formation of the officers and soldiers. That high platform is where the commander of the army gave orders at night, and the five lanterns are the orders to change defense. If they are raised Nine lanterns, and the attack will begin."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the officers and soldiers who had been resting on the ground stand up one after another, and the officer leading the team gave orders. These officers and soldiers lined up, holding knives and guns, and slowly pushed forward like a wall.But the officers and soldiers in the innermost layer remained motionless, facing the encirclement, as if they were ready to attack at any time.

Murong Danyan was taken aback, and whispered to Zhu Sanjia: "Brother Zhu, didn't you say that raising five lanterns is a change of defense? This, this is about to start attacking..."

Zhu Sanjia said: "They want to switch defenses. It's just that the replaced officers and soldiers move first, and the inner officers and soldiers will withdraw after they enter the positions of the inner officers and soldiers. You must know that the two teams are most vulnerable to the enemy's defense when they switch defenses. When the army is attacking. If two groups of soldiers and horses move at the same time, the enemy suddenly attacks, and the whole army is in danger of collapse."

When Li Qiufeng saw the officers and soldiers moving, the queue was neat and orderly, and he thought to himself: "Although the officers and soldiers are no longer the army of tigers and wolves as they were at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, if there are good generals in command, they can still rule the world. Corruption, mediocre officials stealing high positions, and people with lofty ideals have no way to serve the country, which makes the Japanese pirates such a mustard disease, which has caused shocks in the government and the public, and the world is uneasy. Now that the Tartars have not been cured, and the Japanese pirates are about to move, the world is in crisis, but the court is up and down , and only cared about fighting for power and profit, to the point where it is today. Even if I want to stay out of it, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

At this moment, the officers and soldiers behind him were already in front of them, Zhu Sanjia took Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to hide between the two teams of officers and soldiers, only heard the sound of armor clattering, under the light of the torches, the spears flickered coldly, and the momentum Quite amazing.Zhu Sanjia winked at Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, and the three moved forward with the team of officers and soldiers.

After a while, this team of officers and soldiers has moved behind the officers and soldiers who were standing erect.After the two teams of officers and soldiers staggered, the previous team of officers and soldiers turned around and walked back.Seeing that the opportunity is rare, the Zhu family lowered their voices and said to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan: "Let's take advantage of this opportunity and rush over!"

Before he finished speaking, the retreating team of officers and soldiers had already arrived in front of the three of them.Zhu Sanjia hurriedly retreated to the side with the two of them, but the officer and soldier leading the team was a military officer, who followed behind the queue on a tall horse. With a wave of the horsewhip, he pointed at Murong Danyan and shouted: "How did you get this armor?"

Zhu Sanjia's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at Murong Danyan, only to see that the silk sash around her waist had loosened at some point, and the two pieces of armor were loose on her sides, looking quite embarrassed.Zhu Sanjia hurriedly took two steps, and said to Murong Danyan in a low voice: "Quickly fasten the silk sash of the armor!" Then he said to the military officer: "My lord, this brother is not feeling well, so he didn't fasten the armor, I also hope that the adults will forgive me!"

The military officer saw Murong Danyan frantically tightening his armor, and felt even more annoyed. With a wave of his right horsewhip, he slapped Murong Danyan's head and face.Murong Danyan was so skilled in martial arts, he suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound of the wind.The military officer saw the light in the soldier's eyes, he was stunned, but his hand was not slow at all, the whip had already reached the top of Murong Danyan's head.

With a sound of "cha", the horsewhip in the military officer's hand was cut into two pieces by the waist knife in Murong Danyan's hand.The military officer didn't expect that the little soldier would draw out his waist knife to resist, and the knife was drawn so quickly, he was startled, then blushed, and shouted: "It's the other way around! You bastard, you dare to use the knife on me! "

As soon as the words fell, the military officer threw the half of the horsewhip in his hand towards Murong Danyan, pulled out the steel knife at his waist with his backhand, and slashed straight at the top of Murong Danyan's head.

Murong Danyan threw the waist knife in his hand to the ground, jumped up, and kicked the military officer's chest.The military officer yelled, and was kicked off the horse by Murong Danyan, and fell to the ground with a plop.Before getting up from the ground, he shouted loudly: "There are spies! Come and catch the spies!"

The military officer shouted, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic.Li Qiufeng and Zhu San's family originally blamed Murong Danyan for acting recklessly, but when they saw the officers and soldiers in disorder, they were overjoyed, thinking that Miss Murong acted recklessly, but unexpectedly the officers and soldiers became disordered first.The more chaotic the better at this time, we can take the opportunity to rush over.

Just now when Murong Danyan kicked the military officer off the horse, it was only in the blink of an eye, most of the surrounding soldiers didn't see it.After the military officer fell to the ground, he opened his mouth and shouted that there were spies. A group of officers and soldiers looked around with knives and guns in their hands, but they saw officers and soldiers in armor everywhere. They didn't know which one was the spies.Li Qiufeng saw the opportunity very quickly, taking advantage of the two officers and soldiers around him, he stretched out his hands, grabbed them, threw them to the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Catch the spies! Catch the spies!"

Those two officers and soldiers fell into the crowd and knocked down another five or six people. Hundreds of officers and soldiers around them suddenly became chaotic.Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to grab the officers and soldiers around him and threw them into the crowd.Later, even the officers and soldiers who had entered the inner attack position with their backs to the crowd became chaotic, wandering around looking for the spies.Seeing this scene, the Zhu Sanjia rushed forward with Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan. Amidst the officers and soldiers shouting "catch spies", the three of them crossed the officers' and soldiers' line of defense and rushed straight to dozens of fires in the encirclement. past.
