Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 19

That night, Zhao Zhe ordered the men and horses to arrest the bandits and the head-hunters of the government office. The county magistrate Zhou Tang notified Pan Daxing, the head of the infantry, and the two led 40 to [-] people to light torches and let Ma San'er lead the way. Go straight towards Majia Village.

Seeing that he was approaching the ground, Ma San'er stopped and turned around, and said with a smile, "My lord, it's just ahead."

Zhao and Pan looked forward when they heard the words. It was pitch black tonight, even the moon was covered by thick clouds, and they couldn't see anything clearly. They just felt that everything was dark.

"It's really here?" Zhao Zhe came to the ground, but he felt uneasy in his heart. The darkness was like looking at a ball of ink, which was really unsettling.

Ma San'er bowed his head and said, "It's right here, our village is relatively remote."

"Extinguish the torches, go find some wayfinders." Pan Daxing, the head of the capital, turned his head and yelled in a low voice, holding the saber at his waist.

Zhao Zhe glanced at him, annoyed in his heart that this guy made arrangements without discussing with him, but he couldn't say this now, he just raised his hand and gestured to the back.

In an instant, a fire dragon-like procession fell into the darkness, and faint rustling and occasional birdsong could be heard, which was a group of scouts moving forward in the dark.

Ma San'er kept standing there apologetically, Zhao Zhe and Pan Daxing didn't want to pay attention to him, they just stared and stared ahead, as if they could see the night into day.

The night wind blew up, causing the treetops to sway non-stop. Zhao Zhe felt chills on the back of his neck, as if there were people staring at him everywhere, so he couldn't help turning his head to look, but except for the horse with a smirking face San'er and a group of colleagues didn't find anything.

Straight woman thief, tonight is really evil, this ghost village looks so infiltrated, but it is not a mischief.

Zhao Zhe unconsciously held his hand tightly on the handle of the knife, as if only the cold and hard touch of the knife in his palm could bring him peace of mind.

Just when Zhao Zhe was living like a year, time passed quietly, and the rustling footsteps sounded again in front of him, it was the soldiers who went to investigate and came back.

"My lord, there is indeed a village in front of us. We have entered the center of the village and saw that every house in the village is closed and the lights are turned off. It seems that they have rested." A pawn reported to Pan Daxing with his hands clasped.

"Keep your voice down, you stupid bird want to quarrel everyone?" Pan Daxing slapped the messenger soldier on the head.

Your stupid voice is not small!
Zhao Zhe glanced at Pan Daxing coldly and didn't speak. The robber arresting officer of the inspection department was standing beside him, reporting to him the same content as the pawn.

Zhao Zhe looked back at Ma San'er, this middle-aged man was very clever once, and hurriedly came over and said: "We farmers are not as rich as those in the city, and we usually turn off the lights to rest when we are in the garrison. asleep."

"Then the gangsters are all in the west of the village?" Zhao Zhe asked again, staring at Ma Saner's eyes.

Ma San'er smiled wryly in his heart, asked this question several times, the inspector was so suspicious, he still answered honestly: "Don't dare to lie to you, it is indeed at the west end of the village."

Zhao Zhe turned his head and said to Pan Daxing: "So the leader of the capital will lead the troops to pass from the front, and I will take the brothers from the inspection department to the back. Be sure not to let any one go away. Please wake up the moment after we leave. attack."

Then he turned to Ma San'er and said, "Take us to the other side of the village."

Ma San'er agreed, and hurriedly led the way, Zhao Zhe summoned his hands and took the people from the inspection department and the yamen servants away.

Pan Daxing has nothing to do, once this is done, he has made a lot of contributions as the main force to suppress the bandits, so he cheered up and led a group of infantry slowly towards Majia Village.

The weather was beautiful, and the wind at night began to grow stronger. The clouds covering the moon seemed to have been blown weaker by the wind, and the bright light could occasionally shine on the ground, so that people would not be able to see anything.

Pan Daxing walked forward with his body bowed, he didn't want to rush in noisily and fight to the death with the thief, wouldn't it be beautiful to go in secretly and bind the thief in his dream?
Just entered the village carefully, leaving a group of people guarding the entrance of the village. The officers and soldiers were divided into multiple teams, quietly drew their knives and pasted them on the door one by one, listening to the movement inside the house.

Pan Daxing was estimating the time, but seeing that his subordinates were already in place, he wondered why he should give the credit to the people in the inspection department, wouldn't it be good for me to monopolize it?
Immediately when the knife was pulled out, the metal friction sound of "clanging" attracted all the attention of the officers and soldiers. Pan Daxing took a breath and shouted: "Go into the house and catch..."

Snapped--

There was a sound of paper cracking, and an arrow pierced the night sky through the paper window with a shriek, and was shooting out of Pan Daxing's eyes. The stocky man fell on his back without even a scream.

The officers and soldiers were bewildered by this change, and just when they didn't know how to deal with it, they saw lights on nearby roofs, and then several torches fell from the sky, illuminating the surrounding area for a moment.

Whoosh whoosh—

Several arrows were shot down from a high place, and several officers and soldiers fell in response, causing the living people to fall into chaos.

"There's someone up there!"

"Watch out for arrows!"

The officers and soldiers shouted one after another, some people stepped back, not wanting to open the door behind them, covered their mouths with one hand, stretched out a long knife from behind, wiped it from the neck, and immediately punished.

bang——

With a loud noise, the wooden door of the house where the arrow was shot just now burst open. Lu Bu knocked out from the house holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Several figures seemed to be similar to Lu Bu, they all jumped from a high place with long knives in their hands, and killed a few officers and soldiers who were paying attention to Lu Bu, and then scattered, wantonly killing the infantry who hadn't recovered.

"Someone! They are all small... ah!"

"Kill the thief! Don't retreat, kill the thief!"

"I can't win, run!"

"Don't run, come back and defend!"

The malpractice of Pan Daxing, an infantryman who dies first, has now emerged, and the officers and soldiers are in chaos for the battle.

Lu Bu's tiger eyes opened suddenly, he took advantage of the situation and quickened his pace, looking for the person who made a sound to organize the resistance. He opened and closed the Fang Tianji in his hand, every time he swung three or two people, he would die if he hit it, if he touched it, he would die , suffered a broken bone, rubbed a broken hand, and after a while, the battlefield was full of wailing, and almost no one dared to make a sound to resist.

"kill!"

Deng Fei, Qiao Lie, Ma Ling and others also rushed out of the room, with long knives and short soldiers in their hands constantly harvesting the lives of the officers and soldiers, doing mental calculations or not, the officers and soldiers who were killed retreated steadily, regardless of the head and the tail.

Bali Haili lived on the roof, and from time to time he drew his bow and shot arrows, and some people fell to the ground after being shot by the arrows, and they were caught by the strongman and killed with a knife.

"Leader! Someone is coming from behind!"

Ba Lihaili stood tall and looked far away, and when he saw the inspector Zhao Zhe leading people to outflank him from behind, he immediately shouted loudly to remind everyone to pay attention.

Lu Bu heard that and looked forward, seeing Deng Fei and others wreaking havoc among the officers and soldiers at this time like a big worm, he was not worried, and immediately shouted: "Two people come and follow me to serve the officers and masters behind, and the rest of the brothers continue to chase and kill the defeated soldiers."

Immediately Ma Ling shouted: "I'll come."

Deng Fei Qiao Lie saw that he felt relieved at the moment, he just led people to let go and kill them hard.

Lu Bu flicked the Fang Tianhalberd, shook off the blood on the halberd blade, and strode towards Zhao Zhe. Behind him, Ma Ling stabbed the two of them to death. Sure, just aim ahead and prepare to hit someone.

When Zhao Zhe came, he heard the shouts of killing in the village, and immediately understood that it was Pan Daxing who was stealing credit. He couldn't help but scolded Pan Daxing for not being a son of man. Sue him.

When he got closer to see the situation in the field, Zhao Zhe panicked in his heart. The officers and soldiers who came to suppress the bandits asked the bandits to run after them. They must have lost!

I also saw two people walking in the opposite direction in front of me, and I was overjoyed at first. There are few people here, maybe I can kill two, and I will report it to the county.When he saw Lu Bu's figure clearly, his heart felt cold again. The man in front of him was tall and mighty, very majestic, with a square halberd in his hand that was two feet long. Once he stood there, he couldn't see anything else in his eyes, as if There is only this one character left in the world.

Straight girl thief!I have met a master.

Zhao Zhe complained endlessly in his heart. He was not an ignorant fool. On the contrary, as a patrol inspector, he often came into contact with people in the world or in the military. Over time, he developed a pair of good eyesight, and he could tell who was real and who was bad from the person's figure and demeanor.

Now that Lv Bu is standing there, he has an aura that has been battle-tested all over his body. The last time I saw this kind of warrior on the battlefield, I had this feeling when I saw Wu Yanguang, the commander of the capital, leading his troops passing by in Xijin Mansion.

Zhao Zhe glared at Ma San'er angrily, secretly thinking that I have been tortured by you, if I can live this time, I will never let you feel better.

Ma San'er shrank her neck from being stared at, she didn't understand why she had provoked this official again.

Zhao Zhe's heart was turned upside down here, while Ma Ling came over there, and he saw dozens of villagers from the same village in the yamen guard opposite him at a glance.

"Ma San'er! Straight mother thief! You're dead, it's you who lured the officers and soldiers over here!"
