Chapter 70 Flames (5)

"Run!"

At this time, a roar like a trapped beast sounded in the fortress, and then a row of red-collar bandits rushed out of the main entrance of the fortress. Everyone was waving weapons in their hands, looking like a group of madmen.

"Li Zicheng, it's really a very human being!"

The thick blood color immediately filled Yang Xiao's eyes. He knew what the blood color on these people was like at a glance, and he couldn't help but secretly warned in his heart.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

The arrows fell like rain, and the archers led by Wang Zhengnan desperately shot out the arrows and shot them hard on the leader of the bandits who had just rushed out.

"Use the corpse to block the arrows, don't stop, rush out."

With a shout in the fort, the bandits who had just been dizzy by the rain of arrows seemed to have found their backbone. They picked up the corpses on the ground one by one, and some of them were not corpses, but injured bandits, blocked by themselves, rushed out of the fort and ran to the left.

"Help!"

A bandit who was shot several arrows yelled in pain. He was carried on his shoulders and was struggling hard to get the other party to put him down.

"Shut up!"

The bandit carrying him felt that he was extremely hindered. After angrily cursing, he stabbed into his stomach with a knife, and then stirred it hard. The bandit did not expect that his companion would attack him. After his body twitched a few times, he died and obediently took his shield.

"Where is Lee British?"

Seeing this situation, Yang Xiao couldn't help but curse.

"Here you come!"

As he cursed, Li Ying hurriedly ran back from a distance with a hundred soldiers. After seeing the bandits leaving the fort gate and turning left, he knew that things were not good. So he led the people to run along the trench, trying to block the other party's way through the fire.

"That's just a few people?"

Seeing Li British bringing people, Yang Xiao also knew that he had made a fatal mistake. The so-called defeat is like a mountain. Without strict training, false defeat will be true. In order to ensure the effect, he would not let Li Zicheng find out that he was seducing the enemy, he only told Li British, Hao Yaoqi and others about false defeat, and the soldiers under him did not know at all.

"Not good, the number of people is wrong!"

After Yang Xiaogang realized his mistake, he immediately saw that the number of bandits was wrong. Li Zicheng brought 300 cavalry. Although the bandits in front of him were in chaos, they could also see that there were more than 300 people far away.

"Hao Yaoqi!"

Another group of Ming soldiers appeared in Yang Xiao's sight, but there were only about twenty people, and Hao Yaoqi was the leader.

"Let Hao Yaoqi take his men to the right side of the fort, and be sure not to let Li Zicheng escape." Yang Xiao pulled a messenger over and ordered.

"It's too late!"

Just as the messenger left Yang Xiao's side, he saw another group of people rushing out of the fortress. The team turned to the right side of the fortress. Seeing this situation, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel regretful. He was sure that Li Zicheng must be in this team.

But he still had one last hope, that is, the ring fire belt outside the fort was completely burned at this time. The flame was two or three meters high and about one meter wide. It was not easy to pass through such a flame. As long as Li Zicheng hesitated a little and let Hao Yaoqi lead the crowd to block the periphery, Li Zicheng would not be able to escape.

After Li Zicheng led his men to the right, he looked back at the burning flames in front of him without hesitation.

"ah!"

With a scream, a bandit fell into a pool of blood.

At this moment, all the bandits were stunned and looked at Li Zicheng in surprise. They didn't know what crazy this general had done and how to attack his own people.

Li Zicheng ignored them and grabbed the man's body and threw it into the flames in front of him.

When the corpse was thrown over the flames, it did not burn at that time, but instead acted as a way to block the fire. The blood was still pouring on the fire, and layers of white smoke rose.

"What are you waiting for? I'm like me, killing people, paving the way, and we'll rush out." Li Zicheng pressed his waist knife and snorted coldly.

"ah!"

The hope of escaping made all the bandits crazy. They no longer care about the people around them or their companions who were making meals in the pot yesterday. Almost at the same time, they started to attack the bandits around them.

With just a few strokes, more than a dozen bandits fell from the ground.

"Enough!" Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng sneered and shouted loudly.

"Huhh!"

Hearing Li Zicheng's screams, the bandits stopped the weapons. But no one dared to slack off. Instead, they looked at the people around them vigilantly, for fear that if you accidentally get a knife, there will be another sudden attack.

"Top the body on the fire and let's go!" Li Zicheng then ordered.

I heard that after I had a way out and no longer had to kill people, the vigilance in the eyes of these bandits was much less. I lifted up the bodies that fell to the ground, regardless of whether they were dead or not, and threw them all onto the fire.

"Walk!"

Li Zicheng shouted loudly, stepped on a bloody road paved by the corpse, and rushed out of the fire first. By this time, the messenger beside Yang Xiao had not yet arrived at Hao Yaoqi's side.

"Send the order! Everyone shrinks and transfers immediately."

Seeing the bandits paving a way out for escape with their companions' bodies, Yang Xiao shuddered. He didn't have to think about it, but he knew that it was Li Zicheng who did it. His ruthlessness is rare in the world. Compared with him, he was like a witch.

"Woooooo!"

The ox horn beside Yang Xiao immediately sounded, which was a signal of gathering troops.

Hearing the trumpet, almost all the soldiers gave up their mission and began to gather Yang Xiao in all directions.

After finding out that he rushed out, Yang Xiao immediately withdrew his troops. Li Zicheng couldn't help but admire Yang Xiao's courageous behavior and thought to himself: "My unit's will was taken away and he could not attack. Let this dog official be released today, and we will have a long way to go. And I have to clean up the people around me first, so as not to spread this matter to the rebel army, which will be very unfavorable to my future development."

"Walk!"

Seeing that everyone around him gathered, there were only two or three hundred people, Yang Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. But he was determined and did not take it seriously. Tian Jianxiu's army would arrive soon. If he didn't leave now, he would not be able to leave after a while, so he ordered.

"I won't leave." Gao Guiying said in a daze when she heard Yang Xiao's order.

"Where are you going? Are you going to be a thief?" Yang Xiao sneered.

"Officials are thieves, and thieves are also officials. The world is vast and the earth is vast, and there is always a place for me to live in." Gao Guiying raised her head lonely and looked at the thieves' team. The scene where Li Zicheng killed his companions just now shocked not only Yang Xiao, but also Gao Guiying. She was now in a mess and didn't know where her way out was.

"Okay!" Yang Xiao nodded and winked at Wang Fang.

Wang Fang immediately understood what he meant, so he hurriedly took out dozens of taels of silver and two hundred taels of silver bills that were paid at the time of seeing the bill and handed it over to Yang Xiao.

"Wang Zhengnan, send five brothers to protect the wife. Unless you confirm that the wife is safe, you are not allowed to leave." Yang Xiao then ordered.

Now that rioters are everywhere, the people are hungry and they are hungry. He also heard that Gao Guiying didn't want to find Gao Yingxiang. She, a single woman, would probably not be able to walk twenty miles away and would have to be taken away. It is good to be the wife of the village, and the most likely she was cooked and eaten as food. He didn't think Gao Yingxiang's name could scare away the hungry thieves.

"yes!"

After Wang Zhengnan received the order, he picked out five old soldiers who followed Yang Xiaojiu.

"If you want to live a stable life, go to Jiangnan!"

After Yang Xiao arranged these things, he handed over the silver and silver notes in his hand to a sergeant, and then said to Gao Guiying, and led the crowd to leave without even looking back.
