Daming Yinghua

Chapter 9 The first murder after time travel

"Cuckoo, woo..."

Niu Chengzhong's men imitated birdsongs of different lengths towards the other end of the corridor.

In the gap between the battlements, the lanterns of the bandit soldiers on watch suddenly flickered, but there was no abnormal sound.

The battlements still looked like a gigantic beast dozing on its stomach.

But after a while, there were rustling movements on the corridor under the city wall, followed by a few strange cries of frogs.

"Young master, our people have come in." Niu Chengzhong's subordinates couldn't hide their excitement.

Niu Chengzhong gave a deep "hmm" and stepped forward to open the door.

Several black shadows approached quickly, and one of them rushed to Niu Chengzhong first.

He knelt down on one knee and solemnly reported: "Young master, there are fifty brothers along the battlement here, and the other thirty brothers are already lying on the other side of the waterway. If you make a move in the stronghold, the waterway will be sealed off there, and the waterway will be sealed." I won’t let that son of a bitch, Qiu Wanliang, escape.”

Niu Chengzhong helped him up, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for him to lead the team to gather in the direction of the woodshed and barn from the door, and then said to Huang Zunsu: "After the people and horses pass through, I will send my relatives to take you along this road to the bottom of the battlement. , there are ropes there, you don’t have climbing skills, my people will carry you over the city wall, you walk along the ditch to a random grave, go around the random grave and go straight southeast, you will find the official road to Qiandun Town Mr. Huang heard clearly..."

Before Niu Chengzhong could finish his last sentence, a heart-piercing howl suddenly came from not far away.

"Chief Qiu, someone attacked at night! The western battlement, the enemy is in the western battlement!"

Niu Chengzhong shook his shoulder and rushed out the door.

On the front wall, the bandits on the left and right guards on the neighboring battlements were shouting and encircling them.

Immediately, accompanied by the sound of "swish" bows and arrows, the bandits rushing forward let out a scream of "ah".

But in the bandit barracks, which was separated by a vegetable field from the corridor, more bandits were woken up, picked up their knives and guns, and crept out of the house.

In an instant, the end of the corridor under the battlements was already in one piece.

Niu Chengzhong turned around, and said anxiously to Huang Zunsu: "This passage is abolished, you take the two girls to hide near the kitchen first. I will take people to block Qiu Wanliang, when the time comes, all the gangsters will definitely go to his place The houses are crowded together, but you may take advantage of the chaos and go out through the main entrance."

At this time, Huang Zunsu also changed his literati style, picked up the hem of the gown, tied it around his waist, and asked Niu Chengzhong directly: "Can General Niu give Huang a short blade?"

Zheng Haizhu Yihao leaned forward unambiguously and said, "I want it too."

Niu Chengzhong and Huang Zunsu looked at her at the same time, sighing secretly in their hearts, this pair of master and servant is indeed unusual, the young lady does not look weak, and the maid is even a little bit brave and heroic.

Niu Chengzhong asked his subordinates to give Huang Zunsu a machete with horns.

"Mr. Huang, this knife is held horizontally and drawn flat, it cuts the enemy's throat the deepest when defending against the enemy."

He himself took out a short blade that was not so much a knife as a chisel from his waist, and handed it to Zheng Haizhu: "Girl, this knife is only cut an inch from the tip, and it's not easy to hold it properly if you don't hold it properly." Injury. If you are restrained by a bandit, just stab him like a hairpin."

Zheng Haizhu took it and put it in the narrow sleeve pocket, which was quite docile and safe.

Before she could say "thank you", Niu Chengzhong had already picked up the spear in his backhand, leading the first batch of assembled soldiers, and rushed out of the kitchen, while briefly stating the layout of the village and allocating troops.

While the silver gun was flickering, his back went away.

Zheng Haizhu couldn't help thinking when he heard Niu Chengzhong's pronunciation of "mangmang", "熁人", and "攮", as well as the unique tones of his subordinate soldiers' responses.

As a descendant, she was very sure that this General Niu, who claimed to be the court's bandit suppressor, spoke the words of Sichuan and Sichuan.

……

Holding a scimitar, Huang Zunsu approached the bandit guard who had been knocked unconscious before. After confirming that he was still unconscious, he found the key on the ground and locked the door of the barn.

The flames were brightly lit outside, the sound of killing was loud, the weapons clashed violently, and the sharp and piercing sound pierced the night sky.Vaguely, the cries of women and children could be heard again, coming from the families of the bandits.

There are about [-] young and strong bandits in the bandit village, which is equivalent to the number of soldiers owned by a "general" in the Beijing camp or frontier army in the Ming Dynasty. With a bandit leader like Qiu Wanliang, how can they be easily defeated.

Huang Zunsu blew out the oil lamp, dragged a ladder, thumped up to the roof of the kitchen, and hid behind the chimney to watch.

Not long after, he climbed down and said to Han Ximeng and Zheng Haizhu: "The gate of the village was opened, but no officers and soldiers rushed in, only a few family members of the bandits ran out. Let's go now."

The three of them ran out quickly, and were first stunned by the scene of raging flames and swords, lights and swords, and then caught sight of the family members of the bandits who had no weapons in their hands and were fleeing for their lives.The three hurriedly left the shadow of the hut with earthen walls, and followed the direction of the team of women and children.

Unexpectedly, when he ran to the nearest stable, the one-eyed bandit Xu Aliu was turning his horse out. Before he could speed up, he saw Han Ximeng and Zheng Haizhu at a glance.

"Did that bastard Niu Chengzhong let you out? I hacked you to death first."

In the flames, Xu Aliu looked ferocious, raised his shining knife, and slashed at the back of Han Ximeng's neck condescendingly.

Huang Zunsu, who has been watching over the two women all the time, has not left a few steps. As a scholar, at this fatal moment, he is very agile like a primordial spirit. He opened his eyes angrily, rushed up in an instant, and raised his arms .

With a sound of "Pang", the belly of the scimitar given by Niu Chengzhong was blocking the edge of Xu Aliu's throwing knife.

Han Ximeng wasn't so stupid that he froze in place and ran away like a rabbit.

Zheng Haizhu looked intently and saw that Huang Zunsu's shoulders were trembling and his figure was swaying. He obviously had no fighting skills. Only because he instinctively held the knife with both hands and doubled his grip strength, the scimitar did not fall to the ground under the huge impact of the opponent's weapon.

Xu Aliu took a slap in the face, only to realize that it was the stinky Jinshi who had been tied up for money.

He reined in the horse, turned the horse's head, and this time aimed at Huang Zunsu.

Unexpectedly, just as I leaned slightly to the left, before the blade was rolled up, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right thigh.

Xu Aliu hissed miserably. Looking back, it was the maidservant of the Han family who stumbled back from the horse's neck. In her hand was a short iron chisel-like blade, the tip of which was covered with cold light, leaving only It has to be a section of silver near the handle.

Damn it, these two scorpions actually have a guy's business, and they dare to come up and fight for their lives!

"One-eyed dragon, my family has practiced medicine for generations, so I will never miss the mark. I cut off the big blood vessel connecting your leg, the more you move, the faster you die!"

Zheng Haizhu confronted the bandits loudly.

Just now, according to her superficial common sense of human body structure, she scratched the inside of Xu Aliu's front leg, not sure if the artery was really severed.

She only knew that no one could run faster than a horse, and there was no retreat in a short period of time. The thought of "at worst, die again and travel again" lingered in her mind, and a fierce spirit of going all out emerged from her whole body.

The rabbit still has three points of courage, and Zheng Haizhu's courage in full swing made Zheng Haizhu stab with a knife without hesitation.

Xu Aliu was stunned in pain and anger, and the other thigh was slashed by Huang Zunsu who rushed over.

He hastily switched the knife to his left hand, swung it around to protect the lower half of his body, and touched his right leg with his right hand. Sure enough, hot blood gushed out, which was definitely not an ordinary trauma.

This gangster thought he could kill a few young people in a short time, but he didn't expect to capsize the boat in the gutter.

Xu Aliu's mind went blank for a while, until he heard the howling of his eldest brother Qiu Wanliang on the stone road behind him.

"Ah Liu, come pick me up!"
