Shi Jin led the so-called county captain and his soldiers and horses all the way to the gate of Xianyang City. The county magistrate Jiang Zhongxia took the chief secretary of the yamen, the police officer and other officials were already waiting outside the city.
Shi Jin stationed his troops and horses outside the city, and he and his entourage of three thousand people galloped to the city gate. Jiang Zhongxia, the magistrate of Xianyang County, saw Shi Jin and rushed up to greet him. He led many minor officials to kneel down and salute outside the city.
"Your Majesty Jiang Zhongxia has kowtowed to the Commander-in-Chief," Jiang Zhongxia said, having already kowtowed three times.
Shi Jin got off the horse and helped Jiang Zhongxia up according to etiquette: "Master Jiang, please get up quickly."
"Commander, all the civil and military officials in the city are here. I have asked the county lieutenant to hand over the official seal and ask the commander-in-chief to enter the city and take the seal." Jiang Zhongxia said, bowing down and raising his right arm to the city to invite him. The petty officers and soldiers behind him all bowed and made way for them.
Shi Jin saw that all the petty officials had their heads lowered without exception, and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads and necks. They looked a bit unnatural no matter how you looked at them. Shi Jin had no words, but he felt more at ease. A hint of caution.
Shi Jin smiled, waved his hand, and said: "Brothers, enter the city." After saying this, the thousand guards behind him trotted all the way, quickly entered the city from both sides, and quickly controlled the city within their own organization. under.
Shi Jin put his arm around Jiang Zhongxia's shoulders and said, "Sir Jiang, Xianyang City has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. It is you who have been able to turn conflicts into friendship. The first credit goes to you, Lord Jiang." As Shi Jin said this, he controlled Jiang Zhongxia under his arms.
Although Jiang Zhongxia did not expect that Shi Jin would control him like this, he had already made preparations to die heroically. At that moment, he said calmly: "The commander-in-chief fell in love with the wrong person. Xianyang City is handed over to the commander-in-chief. I just hope that I can go back to the mountain village to spend the rest of my life, but I don’t dare to expect my first success.”
"Yes," Shi Jin said, taking Jiang Zhongxia into Xianyang City.
The two of them walked along the main road in the direction of the government office. People were standing on both sides of the street. When they saw Shi Jin, they shouted "long live the mountain" and fell down on both sides of the street. Shi Jin smiled and repeatedly gestured to the people to excuse themselves. Everything seemed to be in the most harmonious atmosphere, and just when he was preparing to take no more than twenty or thirty steps, an arrow suddenly whizzed past, and Shi Jin suddenly turned around and faced the Jiang Zhongxia in his hand. As soon as the sound was pulled, Jiang Zhongxia was heard moaning in pain. Shi Jin stared at it, and sure enough, an arrow hit Jiang Zhongxia's shoulder, penetrated from the back shoulder blade, and dripped out a jet-black liquid. The blood of ink comes.
This arrow feather was highly poisonous. Shi Jin looked at it and sneered: "Master Jiang, are you going to greet me with this?"
Jiang Zhongxia knew in his heart that this was the archer he had hidden on the eaves nearby. That man's archery skills were the best in the army. Jiang Zhongxia specially arranged to ambush Shi Jin halfway, and equipped him with the best bow in the city. The arrow feathers in that area are also specially made, and each arrow is simmered with poison. Originally, Jiang Zhongxia was worried that the man would not be able to kill Shi Jin with one arrow, so he made such a move. The poison was none other than The seven-step fall was extremely toxic and had a rapid onset. At that moment, Jiang Zhongxia knew that there was no way to save him, but he glanced at the restaurant on the roadside and felt relieved. He smiled feebly and said: "The meeting ceremony is still behind, you can beat Xianyang City. But I couldn't bring down Jiang Zhongxia..." After saying this, Jiang Zhongxia smiled and gushed out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes suddenly lost all light, and he held his breath and died.
Shi Jin cut off Jiang Zhongxia's head, held it in his hand and shouted loudly: "The first culprit is dead, put down your weapon, and there will be no further investigation. Otherwise,,,"
Whoosh,,, another arrow was shot. Shi Jin immediately jumped up and used Jiang Zhongxia's head in the air. An arrow pierced through the arrow. The arrow was exactly the same as the one just now.
When the people from far and near saw it, they were all frightened and ran away in all directions.
Shi Jin's sergeants pointed to an eaves over there and shouted: "The thieves are there, follow me and kill them." After saying that, several green forest sergeants drew their swords to cut through the chaotic scene and ran towards that side.
But at this moment, the "common people" who were suddenly around Shi Jin did not flee in all directions like the other people. Instead, they all stood in place, waiting for the sergeants of the Green Forest Army to get too close, and the people behind them were suddenly exposed. The weapon came, the sword was raised randomly, and a cold light appeared. He killed the unsuspecting Green Forest sergeants and then attacked Shi Jin and others from both sides. The Green Forest Guards looked at those The men dressed as ordinary people came with great force, and they unequivocally drew their weapons and went forward to fight with the officers and soldiers in disguise.
"Kill out," Shi Jin took the dragon stick from the hands of his followers and shouted.
"Commander, the city gate is closed, and the officers and soldiers on the top of the city have rebelled. A large number of officers and soldiers are coming from behind to cover them up," a soldier from the Green Forest Army quickly ran over to report.
When Shi Jin heard this, he knew he had been tricked. However, Jiang Zhongxia was dead, but the officers and soldiers had not given up the fight. This made Shi Jin a little confused. Could there be someone behind this? Could it be the county captain? Shi Jin waved Killing a group of officers and soldiers with a stick, he thought quickly in his mind, who is the leader? This is very important for stabilizing the overall situation. However, the inconspicuous county captain does not look like a county captain. He cannot control it and needs to be controlled. After killing that man, Shi Jin knocked down two officers and soldiers with a stick, and looked around. However, during the chaos, his soldiers and horses were trapped in the middle of the street, while people were pouring out from both sides. More and more officers and soldiers arrived, and it was so chaotic that no figure of the "county captain" could be seen.
Shi Jin looked around and saw that there were more and more officers and soldiers. He was far from his opponent if this continued. He pointed in the direction of the city gate on the other side and shouted: "Brothers, kill towards the west gate."
When Shi Jin came into the city, just in case, he arranged five thousand troops and horses at the west gate, east gate, and north gate. Whenever Shi Jin made a noise in the city, the troops and horses outside would come to respond.
At that moment, Shi Jin led two thousand soldiers and horses to break out of the encirclement to the west. Just as Sergeant Green Lin was following Shi Jin to break out and fight, suddenly the windows upstairs on both sides were suddenly pushed open, and every window Four or five archers appeared.
Shi Jin squinted his eyes to see what was going on in his heart. Before he could say a word of caution, the officers and soldiers fired random arrows, catching the soldiers who were still fighting bloody battle in the street by surprise.
The officers and soldiers were in chaos like the Green Forest Army, and countless people were hit by arrows. The archers shot one wave after another, and a continuous rain of arrows shot down from the two buildings. The people below were miserable, and those who were hit by arrows fell to the ground. Absolutely.
The rain of arrows was like migratory locusts, with a terrifying sound of piercing the air, harvesting the fresh lives below without any worries. The guards of the Green Forest Army only had swords and daggers in their hands, without the defense of shields, and the arrows that struck their heads were Yu immediately shot down groups of people one after another. Green Forest suffered heavy casualties for a while, and the formation was in chaos. Many brothers rushed into the nearest alleys, but even so, they could not escape the fate of death and retreated. The officers and soldiers in the alley immediately surrounded and killed him.
Shi Jin saw that his people were being killed in scattered pieces. If this continued, he would probably lose his life here. Although Shi Jin was anxious, after all, the streets were long and narrow, and the soldiers and horses in the green forest were forced to form a shadowless circle. With the word "long snake", the vertical attack surface of the officers and soldiers is extremely long, and the horizontal impact on the officers and soldiers is too small. Green Forest does not occupy an advantageous position, but it is suppressed by the officers and soldiers' random arrows from above. As a result, Green Forest is trapped in the street. In the middle of the battle, he watched helplessly as the officers and soldiers rushed out from various alleys and cut Green Forest's enemy formation into several sections, without looking at each other from the beginning to the end.
The brothers around Shi Jin fell one after another, and Shi Jin felt angry in his heart. However, when encountering such a scene, even if he had the intention, it was difficult to be thoughtful. At the moment, he could only wave the dragon stick in his hand and bring it with him. The five or six hundred people who followed him rushed forward bravely. If they could attack the other city gates, they would be saved.
But at this time, the officers and soldiers seemed to be aware of Shi Jin's intention. In addition to the officers and soldiers who had blocked the attack in large numbers, a large number of officers and soldiers came in at this time.
Shi Jin looked angry and anxious. He was angry because the county captain who commanded the troops must be hiding in a nearby high place, but Shi Jin couldn't kill him. What he was anxious about was that his tiger and wolf troops were trapped outside the city without knowing it. , but the elites who followed him suffered from the cowardice of the officers and soldiers' bows and arrows.
Just when Shi Jin was in desperate situation, suddenly another group of people appeared on the eaves on both sides of the street, each wearing silver helmets and silver armor. One group squatted in front and one group stood behind them. They were divided into two rounds, one Everyone drew the bows and arrows in their hands. Shi Jin raised his head and took a look. He immediately complained. It was already miserable and he was struggling to move forward. This group of officers and soldiers joined in, making things even worse. Shi Jin moved forward desperately. Killing, killing the officers and soldiers until they cried for their fathers and mothers, but some people just went to follow them in person, and they died one after another, one after another. Although Shi Jin admired the officers and soldiers in Xianyang in his heart, but at this time he met such a person who was not afraid of death. , I really feel angry inside.
The more anxious Shi Jin was, the easier it was for him to reveal his flaws. By accident, an arrow shot from nowhere pierced Shi Jin's sleeve. Although it only hurt Shi Jin's flesh, this was undoubtedly a blow. An alarm bell sounded. If he didn't fight out, he would be shot through the skull soon.
Thinking of this, Shi Jin couldn't help but peek at the eaves from the corner of his eye. Through the arrows flying in the sky, Shi Jin saw that the officers and soldiers on the eaves had their arrows ready. He saw who gave the order and the people on the eaves along the street were shot. Many archers immediately fired arrows together. Before one wave was finished, another wave followed. Shi Jin was horrified when he saw it. However, without exception, those arrows shot crosswise towards the second floor opposite. The fearless archers inside were caught off guard, and before those people could recover from their panic and astonishment, they were all shot through the windows by the officers and soldiers on the eaves.
This scene happened when the arrows and feathers intertwined into a large net above the heads of Shi Jin and others, but the pressure on the Green Forest Army below was getting smaller and smaller. Shi Jin was also very surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help but look up. , only to find that a red cloth was clearly tied on the right arms of these officers and soldiers. This subtle difference made Shi Jin's heart warm. Although he didn't know what was going on, it was a turning point after all.
"The tide has turned, now come to our house," just as this sentence passed through Shi Jin's heart, another large group of people appeared in front behind the officers and soldiers, and they rushed towards this side with great momentum.
