Chapter 227 Burning Taiping Village

Dusk fell into the mountains and forests, dyeing them ink.The returning birds, which had been chirping just now, all fell silent as if someone ordered them to do so.Only the chirping crickets in the grass were screaming happily at the top of their lungs.

An Qing, who hurried back in night clothes, took a sip of tea, took out the map of the cottage drawn by Mu Chun, and pointed out the distribution of people in the cottage one by one on the map.

"There are about five or six hundred people in the village, but Fang Junbao only has a dozen or so soldiers around him. There are also two small bosses, each with only four followers, but according to custom, the soldiers are on duty in two to three shifts. There should be thirty or forty troops that can be mobilized. Their main troops are all at the gate of the village and its surroundings." An Qing said.

His Qinggong is probably only comparable to that of Yanyun Ladder here. Almost no one will notice when he flies in.He added: "There is also bad news. They may be doing it for a wider view or for training. There is an open space around the village, which is not conducive for us to sneak in."

"This is also good news. When the stronghold is burned down, it will not easily affect the mountains and forests." Ling Yun said with a smile: "The prince said just now that he was afraid that we would burn down the entire Savage Ridge."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's copy the guys and leave. Clear the way with bows and arrows, and keep up with grenades. We're not afraid of making a big fuss, just afraid that the Yamaguchi defenders won't know! I'm in charge of Fang Junbao." Yan Shiyi said a word, stood up, and started to use his The horn bow goes out.Ever since he brought the horn bow back from the grassland, Yan Shiyi liked to use this light and fast bow.

Xie Ruitang carried two bags of arrows and picked up the Zhentian Bow.Today he was responsible for remotely shooting the guards concentrated on both sides of the door, because there was a trap in the middle of the door and their soldiers had to enter from both sides.There were sixty arrows in two bags. In order to make one fatal move, Haitang poisoned all the arrows.

Haitang also stuffed one of her Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles into Xie Ruitang's arms.Xie Ruitang found it funny: "It's such a waste to use this hidden weapon to deal with these thieves!" However, he accepted it obediently.

A total of 100 of them went up the mountain, but they had to deal with 600 rebels. In order to prevent the defenders at the mountain pass from turning back for reinforcements, they had to fight quickly.

Cheng Hanbai is best at horse fighting.But his close-quarters weapon, the double-headed Qiankun Sword, is what his opponents fear the most. If he tries to play with it, he will be unable to defend against it and will be invincible.It was with this sword that he gave his Wandering Bow to Prince Chu.This time, it was the Tuxuezhui Feng sent by Prince Chu that saved his life.

Both Yu Lang and Cheng Hanbai belonged to military kung fu.They are different from Eleven, Ling Xue, and An Qing. Their moves are simple but deadly, and they win with bravery.They brought their own soldiers to take charge of the frontal attack, cooperating with the archers Xie Ruitang and Ling Feng.

Yan Shiyi, Ling Xue and An Qing were responsible for sneak attacks on Fang Junbao and other three leaders.Qinggong and hidden weapons are also a clever word, which are most suitable for winning by surprise.

Cheng Hanbai asked his soldiers to return to the carriage at Lee Locus Ridge and brought some medicine to Zhuangzi for emergencies.Haitang and Shen Congxi were waiting for them on Zhuangzi.

Shang Hong said with a smile: "I have been a civil servant for decades, and I only know that military generals lead troops to fight, but I have never seen them dispatch troops and generals with my own eyes. The dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, so it really should pay more attention to military generals. With such a talented person with both civil and military skills, Prince, the restoration of the empire is just around the corner." Taking advantage of the darkness, Xie Ruitang and the others followed Mu Chun and quietly sneaked up to Savage Ridge.When we arrived next to Taiping Village, sure enough, there was an open space of fifty steps between the woods and the village. Judging from the footprints on the ground, it should be a training track for soldiers.

Ling Xue and the other three walked around to the back of the stronghold and entered the stronghold. This was the route An Qing had explored before.Jumping to the roof, the three of them split up.After hearing only a few "whoosh" sounds, there was a commotion in the room caused by screams.

Before the guard at the door could react, Xie Ruitang's arrow had already flown past.An arrow shot a hundred steps can still pierce a poplar, let alone the sky-shattering bow in Xie Ruitang's hand.I saw him drawing his bow and arrow, and shot down the four archers on the archery tower.

Cheng Hanbai and Yu Lang took the opportunity to rush in.They were divided into two sides, bypassing the trap in the middle, and specifically drilled into the crowd.Cheng Hanbai watched from the bottom of the mountain every day, his hands were itchy for several days, and he was so aggressive in killing, the two-headed Qiankun sword turned into a cold light, and he raised his hands and fell at both ends.The rebel guards were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a rakshasa from hell.

Xie Ruitang and his archers had already followed up, and with another burst of arrows, they eliminated the defenders who came up from behind.When the quiver was empty, Xie Ruitang put the bow back on his body, drew out his sword, and roared in anger as he rushed in.

Ling Feng waved his hand, and the archers in the last row switched to rockets and shot towards the stockade.Lingyun shot a rocket onto the plaque of "Taiping Village", and the gate tower burst into flames.In the dazzling firelight, the sound of "ding, ding, clang, clang" of swords gradually subsided.I could only hear the blazing flames making a fierce sound in the wind.

The soldiers who stayed at the foot of the mountain to respond found that the torches coming from the opposite mountain pass were in a line at first. When the fire in the cottage started, the torches ran back and gradually lost their formation.

When Taiping Village was almost burned, everyone went down the mountain.Xie Ruitang saw Yan Shiyi still holding a bloody human head in his hand, and said in disgust: "Find a cloth to tie it up, don't scare my son when you go back!" Only then did Cheng Hanbai know that he was about to be an uncle. I couldn't help but smile and my steps became brisk.

Suddenly, Ling Xue pointed at the torch moving towards the farm and shouted: "Look! What is that?" Xie Ruitang's heart froze when he saw it, and he ran down the mountain in large strides.There is still a long way to go from the farm, and the speed of going down the mountain at night cannot be too fast. Xie Ruitang was so anxious that he kept shouting in his heart: Shen Congxi!You can't fall down!
Several people took steps regardless of the danger, and soon left the soldiers behind them far away.But after all, they were not as fast as the dozen or so rebels who ran towards Zhuangzi and wanted to take advantage of the situation.When they saw that the cottage was burned down, they simply went to the farm they had coveted for a long time to grab a piece of it.

In the past, the leader had an order saying that the owner of the village was a famous minister who had spoken for the people and was not allowed to touch him.Now that the leader is dead and the village is gone, they still need money to live!Minister?The minister is rich, so he is the one being robbed!After a discussion, more than a dozen people decided that those who were going to support the village all turned around and went to the village.

They kicked open the door of the villa and saw the gray-haired merchant standing in front of the house. In front of him stood several farmers holding shovels and hoes.One look at the postures, and one can tell that these were also sword-wielding sergeants back then. Unfortunately, they have also grown older along with Shang Weng in this paradise.

Shen Congxi stood next to Shang Weng with a sword in hand, and he shouted sharply:
"Who is this person? How dare you break into a private house!"
