Chapter 80: Fierce Battle Outside the City 2

When Zhou Xian arrived at Yang Si's tent, he found that he had already escaped. Only a few untidy girls hid at a corner and shivered. After asking, he found out that Yang Si immediately ran away when he heard the drums.

Zhang Hu slapped his thighs angrily and said, "This bad guy. Second Young Master, what should we do now?"

Zhou Xian also had some disappointment flashes in his heart, but he didn't want to give up. He thought to himself that as long as Yang Si couldn't bear to leave the possessions he had saved, he would retreat to the east with the brigade bandits. Then, as long as he chased to the east bank, he would definitely catch up with him.

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said to Wang Maozi: "Brother Wang, please bring a few brothers to stay. When the master and County Magistrate Li just came, tell them the situation here. Everyone else will continue to chase with me."

Wang Maozi hesitated for a moment, but saw that Zhou Xian had made up his mind and said with a fist: "I obey the order, the second young master, please be careful."

"Don't worry. The bandits are in chaos at this moment. As long as our soldiers on three sides will get together, those who are waiting for these bandits will inevitably collapse in a complete way."

Zhou Xian led the village tyrants of the two flags to continue chasing the east side. They had clear flags and neat weapons, which were particularly conspicuous among the fleeing bandits. The fleeing bandits were constantly organized by the leader to attack them. But these ordinary bandits who were panicked and organized in a hurry had no combat power. They each fought on their own, covering up their panic with roars, and plucked up the only courage left in their hearts to rush forward.

The brave men from the two flags calmly faced the enemy, protected the surrounding area with shields, and stabbed the spears on the back, and shot with bows and arrows. Most of the bandits did not have the protection of armor. After one round, countless people were shot and fell to the ground. They screamed loudly, and bright red blood splattered everywhere.

Most of these bandits were ordinary people not long ago, and they had never seen such a tragic scene. The reason why they rushed forward was that they were forced to command the leader, and the other was that they wanted to rely on the number of people to kill Zhou Xian and the others. But seeing countless casualties, the enemy team remained unmoved. Their last bit of courage completely dissipated, and many people threw down their weapons and turned around and ran away.

Zhou Xian and the others completely ignored the fleeing bandits. After cleaning up the bandits who took the initiative to attack them, they continued to speed up their pursuit.

The bandits were frightened when they saw the officers chasing closer and closer, and thought that their lives would be over! While crying at the same time, they worshiped God and worshiped Buddha and prayed for God to bless him. At this time, God might have really opened his eyes because they found that even if these officers caught up with them, they did not start a big killing, but just passed them and continued to run forward.

Slowly, all the bandits realized this and they no longer took the initiative to attack this strange official army. They only avoided them before they came. The two sides unconsciously reached an agreement and no one took the initiative to attack. Among the bandits running around, a well-equipped official army was passing through the middle of them. This sounded incredible, but it did happen.

While running, a light crackling sound suddenly came out in front of him. Zhou Xian was shocked and looked at him. He saw fireworks on the right front filled with fire.

Li Kai shouted excitedly: "Second Young Master, that is inspector Yuan's musket team, they came out of the east gate."

Zhou Xian nodded and said that he knew. He knew that in the original plan, except for the 400 soldiers who first left the city to attack, the remaining soldiers would attack from the north, west and east gates respectively.

The number of soldiers attacking the north gate was the smallest. They were to meet the cavalry that rushed into the formation and prevent the bandits from approaching the city wall. The number of soldiers coming out of the west gate was moderate, but most of them were not fighting soldiers, but ordinary farmers. They held a long rope in their hands to tie up the surrendered bandits. The East Gate was among the three city gates, with the most attacking soldiers and the most elite. Their function was to start from the East Gate and line up the teams to the east to prevent bandits from escaping to the south.

Looking at the formation, it was probably a battle, and even the musket team was used, Zhou Xian thought to himself. At this moment, he was surprised to find that there were suddenly more bandits in front of him, and he actually saw his acquaintances there.

Among the bandits who were as numerous as ants, two teams with the same flag as themselves were rushing back and forth. The flags were embroidered with a left and middle characters, which were the other two township heroes led by Zhang Wei and Zhao Qin. In addition, directly in front of their lineup, there were two people beside them, one holding an axe and the other holding a knife, which was extremely brave. If it weren't for Zhou Tai and Zhou Qian, who were they?

Zhou Tai was in a fierce battle, and he kept waving the axe in his hand. Every time he passed, a ball of blood would splash. Zhou Qian was firmly guarding him and did not easily shoot his sword. He only used the sword to block it when others threatened Zhou Tai's safety. He was not old and had little strength. His face was flushed at the moment, and he was already supported by the coolie.

Zhou Xianning saw that Zhou Tai and the others had taken off their battle for dozens of steps. More and more bandits around him rushed up and were about to fall into a siege. He cursed "Idiot" and quickly threw the two flags of township heroes he led into the battle.

The brave men from the sword and shield rushed forward, and the spearmen in the back stabbed hard, and used their hands to control the enemy. The archers shot and killed the enemy from time to time. As soon as they entered the formation, they were like tigers going down the mountain, unstoppable.

Although the attack power of the bandits here is much stronger than before, Zhou Xian and the others are still rushing to avenue, protecting Zhou Tai and Zhou Qian in the core.

Zhou Qian's face looked frightened, and suddenly he saw that it was Zhou Xian. His nose felt sore, and he called "Second Young Master" and almost cried.

Zhou Tai's face was covered in blood. When he saw that it was Zhou Xian, he smiled and said to Zhou Xian: "Uncle!" After shouting this, he turned around and wanted to rush out of the formation to kill the enemy again.

Zhou Xian pulled him back and shouted loudly: "Stay here for me."

Zhou Tai let out a slouch, and when he saw Zhou Xian's face full of anger, he didn't dare to move again.

When Zhao Qin and the others saw that Zhou Tai had been protected, they breathed a sigh of relief. They waved the flag, shouted loudly, and no longer rushed forward. They just commanded the sword and shield soldiers to protect the surroundings, and the already scattered formation began to gradually return to stability.

The Siqi Township Braves slowly approached each other. Although they were a little slow, they could minimize losses because of proper defense. In the end, the Siqi Township Braves were completely together.

The bandits shouted and kept coming forward. But they could never break through the local military formation protected by shields, but their own losses were increasing, and their impatient emotions spread in the hearts of all bandits.
