Chapter 110 Practice the courage to kill this morning
Chapter 110: Developing the courage to kill this morning (crying for monthly votes)
(The distance has become closer again. I am speechless. Let’s hurry up this month and burst into tears.)
There were more than a hundred riders. In addition to those who stumbled in the horse pit at first, dozens more were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. The remaining people saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly reined in the reins and turned the horses' heads.
But who doesn’t know that “shoot the man first, shoot the horse”? When the crossbows are fired, where else can they run?
For a moment, people were up in arms and their horses were neighing, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
A few clever bandits saw that the limelight was wrong, so they quickly abandoned their injured horses and fled into the woods on both sides of the official road. Those who were unlucky would be hit by arrows and fell to the ground, while those who were lucky would flee into the woods.
After all, there were only 500 men in ambush, and only 50 crossbowmen, and there was still time for the remaining bows and arrows. In order to surround these rogue bandits, everyone's ambush circle was made longer, and the density of bows and arrows was limited.
When the other people saw it, they also abandoned their horses and headed into the forest. The targets suddenly dispersed. Thinking about it, they could see that if they were still on the official road, they would be a living target. If they ran into the dense forest, there was still room for a fight.
There was the sound of weapons hitting not far away, and then there was a scream. It seemed that the soldiers and the bandits were fighting hand to hand. I don't know who was being stabbed. I could only hear the screams, but the one who was stabbed could not be missed.
Dao Chixin made a report and looked at Lu Bing beside him, and saw that his face was also pale.
Looking at the soldiers around him, they looked at Xing Baihu with bright eyes as if they had been given blood. Xing Baihu said: "Catch! Don't run away!"
All the lieutenants looked happy. In their opinion, what they had captured was not people, but money and meritorious deeds.
Lu Song and the twenty crossbowmen were still staring at the official road. For the bandits who had entered the forest, the crossbows lost their advantage, and those bandits who did not escape also needed to be careful.
At this time, there were no bandits who escaped into the forest. Most of them were injured and had no time to enter the forest. There were crossbowmen watching them, but they couldn't make any trouble for the moment. The remaining hundreds of people began to scatter in the forest.
Come and catch the bandits.
This is not a simulation game. Just a few feet in front of Dao Chi and Lu Bing, a school captain was wiped on the neck by a bandit who jumped out of the forest, and his blood spurted out far away.
The two captains hurriedly chased after him. One Xiaoqi squatted down and felt the man's breath. He had already died.
When hunting bandits, the captains also have to deal with the hunting of bandits.
But the face with blood spurting seemed to remind everyone that they were not facing refugees, but bandits who had been rampant in Jiangxi for more than ten years. If they wanted merit and silver rewards, they had to fight these desperadoes.
Dao Chi grabbed Lu Bing and looked around warily.
The captains had dispersed, and the sound of fierce fighting could be heard faintly in the distance. Hu Tou and Chen Chizhong were nowhere to be seen.
Lu Bing's body was trembling slightly, and his face was pale without a trace of blood.
Dao Chi secretly sighed, and pulled Lu Bing back to the ambush where he had just set up, and stopped walking into the forest. He knew what he wanted. After all, he was not one of those school captains, nor did he care about using the heads of rogue bandits to gain promotion and wealth.
When Lu Song saw the two of them turning around, his eyes turned around Lu Bing's face and asked stupidly: "What's wrong?"
"The rogues started to fight back, and one of the captains died." Dao Chi said.
Lu Song took a closer look at Dao Chi and saw that although his face was a little pale, he was still calm. In contrast, his son seemed too timid. Although he was a little disappointed, he was facing a tough bandit, and he was also
I don’t want to force my son to practice courage at this time.
He said "hmm", then turned his head and looked at the people on the official road.
The Taoist idiot also followed his gaze and saw that the scene was very tragic. Some people broke their necks and died, some were trampled to death by injured horses, and more people were hit by crossbow arrows and were unable to move, and they moaned in their mouths.
There were also some horses that had broken legs and fell to the ground without dying, making mournful sounds.
Without even looking at Lu Bing, Lu Song said to Dao Chi, "Follow me with your sword." After that, he called the dozen or so spies, and together they walked out of the forest and onto the official road. He still ordered the crossbowmen to be on guard.
Beside the official road, there were two bodies that fell to the ground after being hit by crossbow arrows.
A spy came forward, looked at the corpse's mouth, and said, "Sir, this is Lian Jiazi."
Then he looked at the seriously injured man groaning next to him, lowered his head to check, and said: "Sir, this hurts my heart. I won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Lu Song pointed to the people in front of him and said, "All those who were slightly injured were tied up, and those who were seriously injured were dragged aside. Let's ask for news about Brother Jiang Wu."
Several spies went in response, but Lu Song didn't move his feet. He pointed at the seriously injured bandit next to him and said to Dao Chi: "Go give him a good time!"
Dao Chi held the hilt of the knife and widened his eyes. Although he knew that he came out this time for training, his heart was pounding when he really wanted to kill someone himself.
Seeing his hesitation, Lu Song snorted coldly: "Can't you do it? The kindness of women, these tough bandits, not only did they commit many crimes in Jiangxi, but they committed less crimes on the way north? In the early morning of this morning, they massacred
Got a Zhuangzi..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a sharp knife entering flesh.
The Dao Chi had already drawn out his knife and stabbed it into the bandit's left chest.
The man screamed, a mouthful of blood foamed out of his mouth, kicked his legs, and died.
Dao Chi felt that his body was a little weak, so he used his waist knife as a crutch to prevent him from going limp.
He took a long breath and slowly pulled out the knife. The blood on the cold white blade was very clear. Dao Chi lowered his eyes, calmly cut off a piece of cloth from the man's body, picked it up with the tip of the knife, and wiped it off.
Wipe the blade.
Lu Bing stood behind Dao Chi, watching all this, swallowing hard, and his face became paler.
Lu Song glared at the Taoist idiot without any intention of complimenting him. He frowned and reprimanded, "Why don't you chop the neck? That's the fatal blow. When it comes to fighting against the enemy, a wrong choice can cost you your life."
Dao Chi grabbed the handle of the knife hard, nodded, and solemnly said: "I won't do it next time!"
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the strength drained from his body slowly flowed back. This is not the legal society five hundred years later, this is the Ming Dynasty. There are water bandits on the boat, road bandits on the road, and there are also road bandits in the city.
There are many local ruffians. If he does not have the courage to fight against the enemy and cannot protect himself, then he will just hang around in Anlu and wait to die.
Seeing his serious expression, Lu Song suppressed the smile in his heart and said, "Guess whether Brother Jiang Wu is among these people?"
Dao Chi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No way. As a bandit who has been running rampant in Jiangnan for more than ten years, how could he not be prepared at all? If he was so easy to catch, he wouldn't have been wanted by the Ministry of Justice for more than a year and still be at large."
Lu Song didn't nod or shake his head. He just glanced at Dao Chi, then looked at Lu Bing and said, "Are you scared?"
Lu Bing puffed up his chest and said, "I was afraid just now, but I'm not afraid anymore!"
Lu Song snorted and said, "Go find the two seriously injured people who died and give them a ride!"
Lu Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah!"
After answering, the little guy puffed out his chest and went to look for the spy in front of him.
The Taoist idiot looked at Lu Bing's figure and hesitated to speak. Is this really good for Lu Bing? Lu Bing is a real eleven-year-old boy. Lu Song is not afraid of frightening his son?
Lu Song seemed to understand what Tao Chi was thinking, and said: "When I was eleven years old, I was already familiar with knives." At this point, he paused and said: "The Lu family is a hereditary Jinyiwei. Even if they follow the prince and join the vassal, they are still Jinyiwei.
.You should not slack off when you are around His Highness. Only by learning how to kill can you not be killed and can you better protect His Highness."
At this moment, Lu Bing has found a good candidate not far away.
He yelled and chopped down. The sharp blade cut off the head instantly, and the head rolled away, leaving a trail of blood.
Dao Chi and Lu Song looked at each other and saw Lu Bing's figure froze after waving the knife, and it took a long time before he moved.
Seeing such a bloody situation, Dao Chi was not as disgusted as when he had just killed someone with his own hands. Instead, he felt a little worried and looked back at the dense forest.
It wasn't that he was worried about Hu Tou's safety. When everyone dispersed, Dao Chi saw clearly that Xing Baihu was carrying Hu Tou. With his cherished attitude towards Hu Tou, even if he was hurt, he would not let others hurt him.
Tiger head.
Lu Song always looked very gentle, but in actual combat, the training students and his son were so cold and stern; how cruel was that tough Xing Baihu?
The captains who were chasing in the woods came back one after another. Some kidnapped people, and some just dragged the bodies out.
These people on the official road were tied up in the same way. Lu Song took a few steps forward to ask for a confession.
Lu Bing held the waist knife and returned to Dao Chi's side. Although he had just had a cup of tea, he was already different. There was still no blood on his face, but there was no fear in his eyes.
"Second brother, they deserve to die!" Lu Bing said every word.
The Taoist idiot nodded and said: "Yes, they are ruthless bandits who bring harm to the people. Death is not a pity!"
Lu Bing lowered his head and said: "The bones are so hard that the palm of my hand hurts from the shock. If there are more...the blade will burst out with a gap!"
This kid is still panicking.
The Taoist idiot didn't answer, only listened to his casual thoughts.
"Blood has splattered on me, and the smell of blood is all over my body..." Lu Bing said: "Now I feel stuffy in my chest and feel sick, but it's just retching. If it weren't for the fear of my father scolding me, I would really want to hold my throat.
Eyes, vomit. I don’t want to eat meat anymore... The man finally stared at me, his eyes were so scary..."
The last sentence was so low that it was inaudible.
Dao Chi looked at him, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. The fear was gone from the child's eyes, but the fear remained in his heart.
The Taoist idiot said: "The target of death is innocent people. Even if you don't kill him, the national law will not spare these desperadoes. Not to mention that they are seriously injured and dying. Even if they are imprisoned, they will not be able to stretch out for two days."
Lu Bing was silent for a while and said: "If His Highness knew that my second brother and I had both killed people, would he dislike us?"
The Taoist idiot shook his head and said: "Kill the bandits today, and tomorrow you can stand in front of His Highness and kill the enemy. That is to practice martial arts. Killing is better than being killed. You are going to be His Highness's guard in the future. Are you really capable and don't need to show off?"
Lu Bing stopped talking.
Lu Song has already asked for confessions. Just as the Taoist idiot guessed, among these bandits, there are no Jiang Wu brothers. Most of them are the younger brothers of Jiang Wu brothers, and some are new refugees among the refugees who have joined the bandits.
They occupied the outside of Xiaogan County this morning. Brother Jiang Wu distributed the horses and weapons and ordered everyone to divide their troops. When they gathered again in Shaanxi, in addition to the more than a hundred horses heading towards Anlu, there were more than a hundred riding towards Yingcheng.
direction to go.
The latter piece of news did not come from the mouth of a rogue bandit, but was brought by a newly returned spy...
