Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The thin man lost his burden and started to run beside Jiao Ting.

At this moment, two robbers came behind Jiao Ting.When the two robbers saw the dead bodies all over the place, they didn't dare to chase them any more.One of the robbers had a bow and arrow. He bent his bow and set his arrows, aiming at the tall Jiao Ting.

With a sound of "嗖", an arrow flew past Jiao Ting, but Jiao Ting didn't even frown, and rushed towards the gate of Yuejiazhuang with the old lady on his back.A scream came from not far behind.

There was another "whoosh" in his ear, and another scream came from behind him.Jiao Ting didn't look back, and rushed directly into the gate of Yuejiazhuang with the old man on his back.When crossing the threshold, Jiao Ting praised Yue Fei, who was standing at the door with a bow and arrow in hand: "Young Lord of the Yue family, you are really good at archery!"

When Jiao Ting rushed out to save people, Yue Fei picked up his bow and arrow, ready to meet Jiao Ting.When he found two robbers appearing behind Jiao Ting and wanted to attack Jiao Ting with a secret arrow, Yue Fei fired two arrows in succession, killing the two robbers.

"Close the door! Close the gate!" Yue Fei and Jiao Ting both retreated into the gate, instructing the dealers to close the gate tightly and put on the bolt.After Jiao Ting put down the old woman, he brought a big stone from the yard and put it behind the door.

Yue Fei is born with supernatural power, far surpassing other teenagers.Seeing Jiao Ting's actions, he moved a big stone and blocked the door.

At this time, there was only a sound of "ping, ping, bang, bang" at the door. Obviously, the robbers had rushed to the door and were smashing the door indiscriminately.

After Jiao Ting and Yue Fei commanded the servants and villagers to move debris to block the gate, they ran towards the wall where Ximen Qing was.

Seeing that the robbers had rushed to the gate, Ximen Qing switched places with Qiao Yun and shot arrows at the robbers gathered outside the gate.Because the distance is not far, although the robbers have some shields, they are not well protected, revealing many flaws.Ximen Qing and Qiao Yun shot one arrow at a time, and soon shot down a dozen robbers.

The robbers were timid, stopped knocking on the door, and retreated like a tide, leaving more than [-] corpses in front of the door.In the darkness, some robbers also spotted Ximen Qing and Brother Qiao Yun, and shot a few arrows at them.

Ximen Qing and Brother Qiao Yun had to keep changing positions inside the wall, waiting for an opportunity to shoot and kill the robbers holding bows and arrows in the distance.

"Brother, here we come!" Jiao Ting and Yue Fei came behind Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing bent down to avoid an arrow shot from outside the wall, and said to Jiao Ting and Yue Fei, "You two go to the backyard first, and see if Wang Gui's place is safe. There are also dozens of robbers behind the village."

"Brother, take care!" Jiao Ting and Yue Fei ran to the backyard.

At this time, the villagers who hid in Zhuangzi also came to help, bringing more tables and ladders.Ximen Qing's attendants also climbed up the wall with bows and arrows, and helped Ximen Qing and Brother Qiao Yun shoot at the robbers outside the wall.

With the cover of the attendants, the archers of the robbers outside the village were distracted. Ximen Qing and Brother Qiao Yun had fewer arrows to avoid, and they were more able to compete with the opponent's archers.

The two sides shot at each other for a while, and three of Ximen Qing's attendants were shot and wounded, while the bandit archers hiding outside were shot down by more than ten people by Ximen Qing and others.

The robbers couldn't bear the loss of such a confrontation, and this time they really all retreated far away, and the temporary tranquility was restored in front of the gate of Yuejiazhuang.

When Yue Fei and Jiao Ting rushed to the back door, Wang Gui, Xu Qing and other teenagers were also shooting at dozens of robbers led by Jia Jin, blocking them outside the backyard wall.Some servants were also throwing bricks and tiles outside the wall, helping Wang Gui and the others to defend the backyard.Jia Jin's gang of robbers couldn't break in for a while.

Seeing Yue Fei and Jiao Ting coming, Wang Gui and other teenagers let out bursts of cheers, and they gained a lot of confidence in guarding the back door.

Yue Fei climbed to the top of the wall, bent his bow and set up his arrows, all the arrows were shot, and he shot and killed several robbers in a short while.

Jia Jin saw that the strong attack was ineffective, so he had to drop more than a dozen corpses and retreated with his people.

For a while, the shouts of killing in the front yard and backyard subsided, the robbers seemed to have disappeared, there was no more noise outside Yuejiazhuang, and even the sound of frogs and insects could be heard outside the village.

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting, Yue Fei and others all knew that this group of Mou Shan bandits would not give up so easily and retreat, and there must be a tough battle later, so they took a rest on the spot, rearranged their weapons, and recovered their strength.

The owner of the village, Yue He, and Madam Yao were not idle either. They arranged for the maids to prepare a lot of snacks and soup, and sent them to the front and back yards, so that Ximen Qing and the others could fill their stomachs and fight again.

Those who were injured were also bandaged and treated by maidservants and villagers.

The villagers had just seen Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and others being so brave in front of the robbers, and they all recovered from their panic and stopped being in a mess.The young villagers spontaneously organized and divided into two teams to help Ximen Qing and Yue Fei defend the Yuejiazhuang.

Everyone knows that they only need to hold on for one night. After dawn tomorrow, these Mou mountain bandits will also worry about being cut off by the officers and soldiers, and they can only retreat on their own.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not a problem to stick to it overnight, and there are gradually laughter in Zhuangzi.

Chapter 285 The Bandit's Fire Attack

Outside Yuejiazhuang, Tao Jun and Jia Jin, the two leaders of the Mou Mountain bandits, got together to discuss how to attack Yuejiazhuang.

Beside them, bandit minions were gathering up and counting the loot and grain looted from the farmhouse.

Because they failed to break through Yuejiazhuang, a large local family, and could not find anything valuable only from the poor villagers' homes in the surrounding area, the robbers gained very little.

Tao Jun and Jia Jin were very dissatisfied with the fact that dozens of people died, but they only got such a small amount of money and food, and they refused to let it go.

Such a big loss, but not a small Yuejiazhuang.If this matter spreads out, it will definitely destroy the prestige of Mushan's cottage, and the number of manors in Tangyin County that dare to fight against Mushan will probably increase a lot.The village owner knew about it, and he would not spare Tao Jun and Jia Jin lightly.

Because of these concerns, although Tao Jun and Jia Jin knew that they had encountered a tough problem, they did not dare to evacuate.

"Brother, there are quite a few people in the village who know how to shoot arrows. We can't break through the door and enter the wall! We really can't use our strength this time, brother, I'm so aggrieved!" Jia Jin is a bloodthirsty man. But tonight, he was blocked outside the wall of Yuejiazhuang, and he didn't touch a single villager, which made him feel as if his whole body was on fire.

Tao Jun sighed and said: "Li Lao Liu came to this Yuejiazhuang to explore the way last month. According to his report, the owner of this Yuejiazhuang, Yue He, is a kind person who is kind to others and does not have any private soldiers. There are only a few teenagers who are messing around all day long, so there is nothing wrong with it. Unexpectedly, after only one month, an expert came to Yuejiazhuang."

Jia Jin heard the words and said: "Could it be that Li Laoliu was perfunctory when he went down the mountain to explore the road, and didn't carefully inquire about the reality of this Yuejiazhuang? Brother, bring Li Laoliu here, brother, I will question him again!"

"Hey~ It's too late! When Li Laoliu entered the village, he rushed to the front, and the first one was shot to death!" Tao Jun sighed.

After Jia Jin heard this, he was speechless for a moment.Li Laoliu dared to boldly rush to the front, he must have self-confidence, thinking that this village is full of soft persimmons, and there is no opponent to guard against.From this, it can be seen that he really came to inquire about it.

Sure enough, this Yuejiazhuang should be an expert who came recently!

After the robbers piled up their belongings, they skillfully slaughtered a few chickens and ducks without the orders of the two chiefs, and sent them to the two chiefs after they were roasted over a fire.

Tao Jun took a roast chicken, tore off a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth.Suddenly, his triangular eyes flashed coldly, and after glancing at the young man who was still grilling meat, he swallowed the meat in his mouth and said to Jia Jin: "Hey~ I have a plan, let the people in that village die without burial place!"

Hearing this, Jia Jin threw away the duck leg bone in his hand, stared wide-eyed and asked, "Brother, what's the trick?"

Tao Jun smiled and said: "The birdmen in Yuejiazhuang only dared to hide in the village and shoot secretly. It can be seen that their martial arts are not strong, and they dare not confront us head-on. Since they are hiding in the village, then you and I will use it." Fire attack, set fire to his bird village, but where are they going to hide?"

When Jia Jin heard this, he patted his thigh and laughed, "Brother, this plan is very good! Those birdmen don't want to be burned to death in the village, so they can only escape from the village. You and my brothers guard the door, come out and kill one by one. , come out two to kill one pair, slaughter this bird village, let out a bad breath!"

"Little ones, hurry up and collect the fire starter!" Tao Jun commanded the bandit minions to get busy.

Half an hour later, the robbers collected a lot of firewood and hay, and also collected lamp oil from the villagers' homes and poured it on the hay.Everything was ready, waiting for the order from the two chiefs.

Tao Jun and Jia Jin counted the rest of the minions, and there were more than 120 people.The two divided their troops with more than [-] people each, and agreed to launch fire attacks at the front and rear doors at the same time.

The robbers all have horses, and they can quickly send messages back and forth. No matter if the people in Yuejiazhuang break through through the front door or the back door, they can quickly gather troops to encircle and suppress.Tao Jun and Jia Jin were full of confidence this time and vowed to massacre all the people in Yuejiazhuang.

……

In Yuejiazhuang, Ximenqing, Jiao Ting, Qiao Yunge, Yue Fei and other teenagers rested for a while, and then guarded the front and back yards and the surrounding walls separately to prevent the robbers from attacking again.

Brother Qiao Yun and Ximen Qing were still guarding the front door, hiding in the dark and observing the intersection in front of the village.

"Senior officer, those thieves just robbed a lot of things from the farmhouse outside the village, do you think they will just leave?" Brother Qiao Yun asked Ximen Qing cautiously.

"I didn't hear the sound of the thieves riding away. They should still be lurking outside the village, planning the next attack. Be careful tonight, don't be careless." Ximen Qing said.

At this moment, a loud arrow suddenly shot out in the distance ahead, making a shrill "woo hoo" sound in the air.

"Be careful, the thieves are attacking!" Ximen Qing grasped the strong bow in his hand.
