Chapter 17 Section Eleven

Even Anton Avenue was quiet that night, and the lights were much dimmer than usual.Even the residents of Piaocheng, who love nightlife the most, hid at home because they had a premonition of a storm coming. There is still business in the gambling house - as long as a real gambler hears the sound of the shaking of the dice, even the safety of his life can be ignored.They have long been used to the thrill of losing everything at any time. There were not even a single customer in the taverns and restaurants, and they all closed early before sunset.The brothel "Wannianchun" has only a few bold regular customers, and they are ready to stay overnight in the brothel, and they also want to take the opportunity to watch the battle that may break out on the street.

Zhu Ya's direct subordinates have been standing guard along Andong Avenue, with a dozen people every six or seven buildings. From the "massacre house" at the north end to Shannan Street at the south end, there are about 400 people gathered. people.On the street that night, the "slaughter room" temporarily took over the function of the inspection room. The sixteen "slaughter house" hooligans guarding the middle intersection on the west side of the middle section of Andong Street gathered in a circle and sat on the ground, sipping two bottles of warm wine in turn.Since old Yu Bo was executed until now, they have been on guard for most of the day, and they are exhausted physically and mentally.They thought they could go home and rest after the army of Fourth Lord Iron Claw returned to the city, but they had received news earlier that Fourth Master would not be back until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and their disappointment and resentment doubled their fatigue.

From time to time, the hooligan looked at "Wannianchun" across the street.They have never tasted the taste of setting foot in such a high-end brothel. "Hey, we're going to 'Wannianchun' tomorrow." One of them said. "Bah! Do you have money? I'm afraid that even if you bet all your belongings, it won't be enough to tip the madam!" "His grandma, I've seen that Xiaoyu go in and out there, it's so beautiful... If I sleep with her, I'm willing to lose three years of life!" "With your poor life, even a kiss can't be worth it! Don't you know? That lady is already the governor's woman! You? You are not worthy of carrying shoes!"

"This lady is really powerful! I heard that the death of Sixth Master Tieding has something to do with her. It is because she followed Zha Song that no one dared to touch her..." "Why does no one dare to touch her? Didn't Cha Song 'touch' her once every night?" The hooligan laughed. "Once? How do you know it's not two or three times?" "That old guy, is it okay?" "I'm afraid ten times a night will be fine with such a juicy girl!" "That's not good, it's quite enjoyable to play with your hands!" "Stop talking, My heart is itching too! Tomorrow we will go to the kiln from last time! I love the big bathtub there! Don’t you try the taste of drying in the water, it’s really a waste of work..."

A hooligan was smiling when he suddenly felt a movement in the middle of the road.He put away his smile, stood at the intersection and looked inside.Since the "Fengyilong Piaocheng Branch" was destroyed by a hammer, Zhengzhong Road has been deserted. There is not even a light on the road at night, and the hooligan's vision is plunged into the deep darkness like a quagmire. ——Is it wrong?maybe wild dogs... Then he saw a man, five feet in front of him. A completely black person.black clothes.Black face and palms.In his hand, he held a rattan shield painted black and a waist knife wrapped in black cloth.He is Di Bin.

The rogue didn't have time to make the call. Di Bin quickly took a step forward, and the waist saber cut obliquely from the upper right. The hooligan heard the sound of his own blood spurting from the opening of the carotid artery—the first drop of blood in the city tonight. Thirty men who were also armed in black rushed out from the dark street at the same time.Before the remaining fifteen "slaughterhouse" hooligans could see where the enemy was coming from, each of them had been stabbed twice-the first stab took away the ability to fight and escape, and the second stab took their lives.

The coordination of the ambush is very precise.Thirty people against fifteen people, every two people cut down one.There is no chance of using the vine shield at all. Of course, it is impossible for every target to die instantly—and it is not what Di Bin wants.He needed the miserable cry from the other party to alert the guards of other "slaughterhouses" on the street. The sound of screaming and rushing footsteps instantly filled the street. "Over there! In the middle of the road!" More than a hundred people who were closest to the middle road rushed in like a flood that had encountered a gap.

Di Bin waved his waist knife around, signaling to retreat immediately.Thirty-one people turned around and rushed to the middle of the road at full speed. "Inside! Chase!" More than a hundred hooligans from the "slaughterhouse" raised their weapons and chased into the middle of the road.Since Iron Claw's troops have almost emptied the arsenal of the "slaughter house", only a few of this group use regular weapons such as waist knives, long knives, and spears, and the rest use kitchen knives and small carpenter's hammers , and even only sticks with spikes.

Although Zhengzhong Road is wider than ordinary streets and alleys in the city, it can only accommodate up to ten people walking side by side.More than a hundred people formed a long line, chasing Di Bin and others frantically with red eyes.Seeing that there were only thirty people on the other side, they were relying on several times their strength, without any fear. When walking to the middle of the middle road, a hooligan named Xiao Kong among the crowd heard a strange sound.He looked back while running, and he saw Tang Ah San at the first sight.Tang Ahsan was very tall, and his head always stood out among the crowd.

The next moment Tang Ah San's head disappeared into the crowd.His body slipped and was trampled by his accomplices. Because a black feather arrow pierced his left eye and went straight into his head. At this time, the rain of arrows shot down from the second floor window of a house on the left side of Zhengzhong Road. "Arrow! Back!" The crowd in the "slaughterhouse" fell into panic.The people in front turned around and wanted to escape, but those behind didn't know what happened and continued to run forward. As a result, the crowds at both ends crowded together.More than a dozen people were shot and fell down.More were pushed and trampled because of the chaos.

"Haha, it's easier than shooting a target!" Long Baihao, who was in command of the bow and arrow team on the second floor, laughed and ordered another round of shooting. The crowd below were still pushing each other.Some danced their weapons to block the arrows, and they didn't care to cut their companions. "Damn it, don't mess around!" The one who had been cut angrily threw himself at the other party, twisting into a ball. "Stop!" Long Bai ordered. "Switch to stone!" The bow and arrow team in front of the window lowered their bows, took out stones from their cloth bags, and threw them vigorously at the crowd below. Long Bai himself was not idle, he held his longbow again, aimed down and shot an arrow.Every arrow hits the head. The people in the "slaughterhouse" couldn't tell what was being shot in the panic, and they still wanted to escape desperately.The dozen or so people in front knew that they couldn't go back, so they had to charge forward again. Just as they got out of the crowd, the dozen or so people running forward fell down at the same time—the tripwires set up by Wu Chaoyi's command on both sides of the street had an effect. Wu Chaoyi, who was hiding in the side alley, led twenty people and ran out with long guns in hand, quickly dealt with the fallen people, and then retreated into the alley. At this time, there were less than fifty people standing in the "slaughterhouse" crowd.The space increased, and they were finally able to escape backwards. "Fifth brother, get on the stage!" Di Bin shouted. On the remnant site of the "Feng Yilong" Piaocheng branch, Lian Shou and thirty-nine cavalry men took off the cloth strips on the horse's mouth at the same time. The forty horses that had been restrained for a long time let out an angry roar that shook the black street. The sickle head held the iron spear high, and led his subordinates to lead the mounts and ran out of the ruined ruins.After entering the middle road, the forty people jumped on their horses while running, brandishing their weapons and charging forward. Each horse had a small flag planted behind its saddle, and a castanet that sounded as it galloped was tied under its belly. In the darkness, the momentum of forty horsemen was like a hundred horsemen. Scythe roared and galloped forward first.His mind went blank, letting his wild instincts manipulate his body. The dozens of fleeing "slaughter house" hooligans finally escaped from the intersection and mixed with more than 200 accomplices who had already gathered at the intersection.The faces of these dozens of people were all pale, and they couldn't speak a word clearly.Invisibly, they have spread fear to everyone. Those in the "slaughter house" were never able to determine the correct number of attackers.What's even more frightening is that the opponent has entered the core area of ​​Piaocheng without a sound, and wiped out more than 50 people from his side in a very short period of time. "Maybe it's the 'Curse Army Master' Zhang Shuai who is here! I heard he knows magic..." When they heard the strange noise in the middle of the road, some of the most daring people looked into the intersection with their heads. "It's cavalry! Cavalry!" "how many?" "I don't know! I can't see it!" The cavalry team at the sickle head charged out of the intersection in an instant, cutting the three hundred people in the "slaughter house" into two.While passing by, Sickle swung a heavy iron spear horizontally with one arm.The strength of the sickle, the weight of the iron spear, and the momentum of the galloping horse are not what the human skeleton can bear.Three people in a row were hit until their bodies flew into the air.They broke their spines before they hit the ground.The body fell into the crowd. Every Xing Leng'er who passed by one after another was used to fighting on horseback, and knew how to use the momentum of the horse to slash and kill.Where the blade of the long knife passes, the muscles are like tofu. The hooligans in the "slaughter house" in the front row could now see clearly that the attackers were only a few dozen riders.But the people in the back row were shocked by the sound and momentum, and began to flee for their lives at both ends of the street. The sickle turned the horse's head to the left, and led the cavalry to charge north.Tens of yards ahead is the "slaughterhouse".The only obstacle in the middle is about two thousand catties of human flesh.It is the mission of the sickle to kill a passage from here. Scythe clamped the saddle tightly with both legs, and swung the terrifying iron spear swiftly left and right with both hands.With nowhere to hide, someone desperately blocked with a knife in his hand. As a result, his own death could only last for a tenth of a second. "Cut down the horse! Cut down the horse first!" The people in the "slaughter house" thought of this strategy, but only a few dared to implement it, and they couldn't cooperate and swarmed up.Xing Leng'er, who is good at cavalry warfare, of course understands that this is a weakness, and when he sees someone charging towards him, he turns his horse's head to that side.The person who came was either thrown over by the strong horse and kicked by the horse's hoof, or dodged to the side of the horse at a critical moment-the result was that he could not escape the knife edge of the man on the saddle. A fishy knife accidentally got stuck between the bones of the enemy, and the enemy pulled him off the saddle before dying.Xing Leng'er was immediately beheaded to death by the random knife. A hooligan took the opportunity to grab the horse's back and rode the horse to attack the cavalry.But in the "slaughter house", only the subordinates of the Tie brothers who have left the city have received strict horse fighting training.The horse snatcher hadn't even balanced his body to make an attack, but he was hacked off the saddle by two Xing Leng'er sabers. Lian Shou knew that another group of enemies at the back of the street would surely fight back, and he had to open a bloody road to the "slaughterhouse" as soon as possible, so he ignored the approaching enemies, pointed his iron spear forward, and galloped forward at full speed. The war horse collided with a bunch of hooligans, the horse's legs couldn't support it, its two front hooves buckled, and the inertia caused the huge body of the scythe to fly forward. Scythe inserted the iron spear into the ground in mid-air, held the end of the spear tightly with both hands, flipped up and down, let go of the spear, turned around skillfully to relieve the momentum, and landed safely on both feet. The sickle quickly pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and at the same time beheaded one person horizontally.This ring-shouldered steel knife was specially made for him, and the handle was longer than ordinary knives.The sickle held the knife in both hands, and his body continued to rotate, rolling up a bloody vortex among the enemies. Since the "Wannianchun" was almost killed in the first battle, Sickle seems to be stronger than before.Even though it is surrounded in all directions, the scythe has not been hit once.He understands that constantly moving while being surrounded is the key to survival.Of course, this method of combat consumes a lot of physical strength, but physical strength is the strongest weapon of the scythe. The broken limbs gradually piled up beside the sickle head.There were blood stains on the ground.Some hooligans vomited while fighting.They gradually retreated.The pace of slowly guarding and retreating gradually accelerated, and finally turned into turning and fleeing. ——That's not human!It is a ghost sent by the underworld to punish the world! When the sickle finally stopped, the blade of the steel knife in his hand was covered with half a cent of thick blood. The subordinates of the cavalry led an empty horse to meet him.The sickle put the knife back into its sheath, pulled out the iron spear stuck upside down on the ground, and then stepped on the horse's back. "How much did we discount?" "Only four." "Okay! Follow me!" Sickle pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and ran towards the other side of the street. The other half of the "slaughterhouse" hooligans originally retreated dozens of yards, but after reorganizing, they attacked the front cavalry.However, Di Bin had already led an infantry team of 100 people to fight out in time, and set up a defensive formation of rattan shields in the middle of the street. The people from the "slaughterhouse" attacked several times, but they were unable to break through due to the lack of weapons such as spears. When the "slaughterhouse" team was about to attack again, they suddenly found that the rattan shield formation in front had all squatted down, revealing the arrow formation commanded by Long Bai behind them. On the straight street, facing the dense and lack of armored enemies, Long Bai's subordinates almost didn't have to aim.The screams drowned out the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air. Long Bai divided the arrow team into two rows, the one in the front row retreated to shoot again after firing the arrow, and the other row made up shots at the same time.Under this precise combat method that has been tested on the real battlefield, the "slaughterhouse" hooligans who are only accustomed to street fighting have become lambs.This is no longer a battle, but a purely unilateral massacre. The vast majority of hooligans have already awakened and lost.The leaders took the lead in fleeing. "Stop! Don't waste arrows!" Long Bai ordered immediately after seeing all the enemies running for their lives. Scythe's cavalry has also arrived to meet up. "Fifth Brother is guarding here!" Di Bin called out. "Second brother looked at the north side of the street." Wu Chaoyi disbanded the rattan shield formation.Half of the infantry team handed over their shields to the Arrow team, and then took out the siege equipment from their bags. "We're going." Di Bin said to Lian Shou. "Don't use the word 'to' so ugly." Long Bai interrupted with a smile. "Go." Lian Shou wiped off the blood stains on the iron spear with a cloth. "After we knocked down the 'slaughterhouse,' we drank together in it."
