Chapter 201 The Bold Bandit
The green forest horses dare not siege the prefectures with cities, which does not mean that the low walls of the prefectures can stop them. I don’t know which one of them was the one who rushed into the county town in the dark. The soldiers guarding the city walls had no intention of resisting at all and fled in a panic.
The thieves did not pursue and rushed silently to Zhou Yu's home near the county government. Zhou Yu's rich mansion was naturally a high-walled courtyard built. He also joked that my walls were stronger than the city walls of Fushan.
How many people can guard the small Fushan County? After the guards on the city wall fled in a panic, there was not even a person who called for warning. There were only three or four yamen runners and junks on duty inside and outside the county town. When they met bandits, they were all taken without even making a sound.
The most sophisticated armed forces in the entire Fushan County were the salt dicks and private soldiers under Zhou Yu's men, who were the guards on the wall of Zhou Yu's family, and were the first to find something wrong.
Even at night, there are big braziers and lanterns around Zhou Yu's mansion. Under this light, there is nowhere to hide within a distance of more than ten feet around the mansion. Although no one has spoken out of the bandits, they are not so regular when running.
When rushing over from the darkness of the street, several people didn't hold back and rushed into the light of torches and lanterns. The guards in Zhou Yu's house were all fled with silver selling private salt. They practice martial arts on weekdays, and they were extremely alert even at night.
Seeing someone below, the guards immediately took a bow and shot the arrow. A distance of more than ten meters, even if they were condescending, they had no substantial lethality for the attacking bandits. However, archery was just a prelude, and the bangzi and gongs immediately rang.
The entire county town was alarmed. When a family in the west heard this sound, the man in the family immediately ran out of a hole in the city wall, raised a mule in a yard outside the city, rode a mule and rushed towards Dengzhou Prefecture City. This was also a secret whistle set up by Zhou Yu. He was preparing to go outside to ask for reinforcements when something was wrong. The first choice for requesting reinforcements was naturally Dengzhou Camp with field combat capabilities.
Those who guard the house and protect the house are also villains who rob and kill and set fire. Naturally, they know the rules of the Tao and dare to go deep into the county town to commit crimes and robbery. They originally thought that the gongs and gongs were ringing. The bold thieves exposed their traces and should quickly evacuate and escape.
But the people below were different. They still gritted their teeth and rushed hard. More than a dozen people were holding long ladders that were tied up, and they were about to hit the wall. The arrows and rocks were smashed down, and more than half of them died. The remaining people kept holding the ladder and continued to rush forward.
"Crazy, crazy, there is such a desperate person."
A guard on the wall was a little stunned. The bandits and horses were all afraid of death. If there were such bravery, how could the opponent's leader suppress his subordinates? Nearly 200 people rushed out. More than a dozen long ladders were placed on the courtyard wall, and the people behind rushed up in a hurry.
The bandits climbed upwards, and the leaders of the bandits followed behind, holding a big knife in their right hand, and more than a dozen confidants were holding swords and axes in their hands. The leader was Chen Shizi. Chen Shizi's eyes were almost completely blood-red, and they shouted in a low voice, driving the people below to rush upwards.
"Everyone's parents and young people are all under the hands of others. After they have built this house, they will never have to go to the ground to work for the rest of their lives. If they can't get it, they will meet them underground and they will all be mocked for me."
The wall was narrow, and more than a dozen guards could not hold on to the top. The people below seemed to be crazy and rushed towards the top. Soon the courtyard wall was lost. More and more people entered. Some people moved the debris blocked the door from the inside, and people outside flocked in.
The defense Zhou Yu relied on was not only the outer courtyard wall, but also the inner courtyard blocked the courtyard gate, but also the fortresses such as the city wall. However, a low wall of such a height would definitely not be able to stop the bandits from rushing towards the inside. Moreover, Zhou Yu's guards knew in his heart that no matter who was coming from outside, it was impossible to give up since it was this level. Therefore, the guards who could fight in the yard were fighting desperately between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the sound of killing was shocking for a moment.
Most of the bandits who attacked the yard were not very skilled in martial arts. To put it bluntly, they just knew how to use swords and guns. Zhou Yu's guards were naturally fearless and even took a lot of advantage in the face-to-face battles. However, a tiger could not defeat a group of wolves. Now four or five people are crowded together to fight.
Even if you have great skills, you cannot use them. You often make moves to lift the weapons of the people around you. Before you make the next move, you will be chopped and killed by the swords and axes around you. In this case, chaos is the most suitable. If you are a person with a clear mind, the best way now is to overturn the brazier and lanterns in the inner and outer yards, and it will become completely dark, and the two sides will fight together.
In this case, the bandits outside must have a large number of people and have an advantage in the darkness. However, the reason why the bandits did not do that is very simple. There were more than a dozen people standing high, holding bows and arrows in their hands. The brave bandits fighting there were immediately shot to death.
The Fushan County Government is not far from Zhou Mansion. Listening to the sound of killing here, the county magistrate lay under the bed in a daze, fearless and afraid to come out, let alone organize the people to fight.
Zhou Yu's subordinates are really brave. This is such a strange thing these days. The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers who paid for the country was not as good as these private soldiers, and the private soldiers were not as good as those of the outlaws under Yan Xiao. Therefore, even if Chen Shizi had a large number of people, he would still not be able to take it down for a while.
Half an hour later, both sides lost dozens of lives, and they retreated a little, adjusting their state to prepare for the second round of fighting.
In the inner courtyard, Zhou Yu didn't care about the family crying in the room behind him, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Brothers, as long as you persist for another half an hour, the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Camp will come here. At that time, everyone will have a reward, and there will be a reward."
A guard leader next to him was gasping for breath, covered in blood, and wiped his face with his hand and said viciously:
"It's almost two hours now. If the official army is not here, they will be waiting to be killed. Master Zhou, don't shout. If we don't fight hard, these bastards outside will not spare us..."
Zhou Yu was very moved there. Just as he was about to say something, a noise from outside suddenly came from outside, and someone shouted vaguely in the distance:
"The officers and soldiers are coming, the wind is tight, run quickly."
Then there was a rough and bold voice with a Jinan accent outside the courtyard wall shouting there:
"The last time you sent salt to Dongchang, you actually cut off more than a dozen of our brothers. We are irreconcilable. You got the advantage tonight, otherwise..."
Someone whispered beside him:
"One of the boss, go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave."
The chaotic footsteps outside quickly left, and Zhou Yu was relaxed in an instant, slumped on the ground, trafficking in private salt has always been an armed escort, and there are too many things to do between them. Almost every time a large amount of private salt was transported out of Dengzhou, there were always fighting and fighting in various ways.
Things in Dongchang Mansion were normal, but they didn't expect that the other party came to the door. Zhou Yu cried in a low voice there, and the leader of the guard beside him laughed and said:
"Being intercepted by the tigers and wolves in Dengzhou Camp, wait to die..."
The sky was already blue and white, and it was lightly dawn. Zhou Yu struggled to stand up, thinking that the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Camp arrived in a while. No matter who was leading the team, they always had to go over and thank them. After a long time, the chaotic horse hooves outside the courtyard sounded, and a man shouted loudly:
"I am Yang Shitou, the president of the Dengzhou Camp Horse Team. Is there nothing wrong with the owner inside?"
The guard leader next to him pushed his subordinates and asked him to go up and see if they were real officers and soldiers. No one was sure if the bandits had come back. The subordinate reluctantly climbed up the inner wall and peered outside. It was indeed the Dengzhou Camp with distinctive armor. I am afraid that the entire Shandong garrison was not equipped with such an army.
But the guard asked tremblingly:
"Is the military master outside from Dengzhou Camp?"
The leader immediately cursed. Yang Shitou, who was in front of Jiang Feng, was like a sheep, and was always domineering outside. He pointed at the wall and scolded fiercely:
"Bitch, I crawled out of the bed and rushed over to save you. I also doubted that if the bandits had a family in our Dengzhou camp, who would go and rob them!"
Since it was confirmed, the guards and salt dicks who fought bloody battles inside and outside the yard all night relaxed from their hearts and cheered loudly there. Zhou Yu reluctantly struggled to stand up, tremblingly asked his subordinates to open the door, and slowly walked out.
When Zhou Yu saw the horse team exuding a murderous intent in front of him, he was finally completely relieved and said with gratitude:
"My great kindness, Zhou must thank you very much, and I will thank you very much."
Qianhu is the level and Qiancheng is the position. Yang Shitou's grade is strictly calculated to be four or five levels higher than Zhou Yu. He immediately replied arrogantly:
"It's good that the whole family is safe, and I won't have a trip in vain..."
Zhou Yu didn't care at all there. He fought a circle at the critical moment of life and death one night, but he didn't care so much in his heart. He raised his head and continued to say some words of thanks...
"Swoosh"
An arrow penetrated his throat accurately. Zhou Yu opened his eyes wide and grabbed the arrow shaft with his hand and wanted to pull it out, but he couldn't use any strength and fell heavily.
"There are still gangsters around..."
