Chapter 21 Escape from Qiao County

[Thanks to book friend "Lao Zhou Lao Zhou" for his reward!]

Yuan Ping sat on the city gate tower and saw the fire flashing from the county government. After pondering for a moment, he ordered the soldiers around him: "The county government was attacked by sneak attack. Everyone, please follow me to reinforce the county government!"

Hearing his orders, all the soldiers around him took the order in unison, and only Yuan Ping's brother-in-law Sun Xiang whispered: "Brother-in-law, I have a word, please borrow a step to speak."

Yuan Ping nodded and ordered the soldiers to go down to the city to gather. After the soldiers left, Sun Xiang whispered: "Brother-in-law, this is obviously the thief's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Let's stay here in the city tower and wait and see what's going on! Besides, the thief besieged the county government will not cause much damage to us. In fact, if the county magistrate is really ridiculed by the thief, it will not be a bad thing!"

Yuan Ping shook his head and saw that there was no one around and whispered: "I certainly know this kind of pediatric strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, but A Xiang, whether to see through the strategy of thieves is a problem of ability, while whether to save the county government is a problem of attitude. In comparison, our attitude is more important than ability!

If we don't go to rescue the county government, we have seen through the thief's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, what would the county magistrate think?! Will he suspect that we are using a knife to kill people? Moreover, since the thief can draw teams to attack the county government, it means that their potential power cannot be underestimated. In this way, the ones they sent to raid the city tower will definitely be elite soldiers. If we stay in the city tower, we will only fight with them and lose our trusted subordinates in vain, this will not do us any benefit!

And don’t think that our county magistrate is really a waste. Although he is greedy for money and lust, he thinks about the dozens of elite hospital guards he raised, and thinks about the money he used before. Can such a big deal be done by a greedy for money and lust?!

The thief besieged the county government and will be destined to return without success. Since there is no risk in rescuing the county government and can avoid the enemy's sharpness, why don't we go? As for the damage to the false reputation caused by the trap, it does not have much harm to us! We are generals, and generals who only know how to rush but not the plan are the most reassuring subordinates!"

After saying that, Yuan Ping patted Sun Xiang on the shoulder and walked out of the city tower with his big knife. Seeing Sun Xiang standing there blankly, Yuan Ping shouted repeatedly: "Axiang, you are still young and have a lot to learn. Keep up quickly, don't let the soldiers wait too long. Do a full set of shows and rescue must be quick!"

At the beginning of the hour of the Hai Dynasty, just as Yuan Ping and his friends rushed to the county government, Ling Yue also escorted Ling Shan to the edge of the city wall with six believers. Since he arrived in Qiao County, Ling Yue sent someone to quietly observe and record the inspection of the garrisons in Qiao County and got a specific timetable for shift change. Now it is the time when the garrisons turn over, and the soldiers are basically burning fire on the city tower, and there are no idle people on the city wall.

Ling Yue and others shrank in the shadows and waited quietly. A flexible believer sneaked to the edge of the city wall, took off his flying claws from his back, tied up a rope, and threw them on the city wall.

The iron hooks of the flying claws were wrapped with thick soft cloth, and they threw them on the city wall and almost no movement was made. The believer slowly pulled the rope, and when the flying claws hooked on the edge of the battlement, they couldn't pull it anymore, he pulled the rope and started climbing up.

Ling Yue, Ling Shan and others under the city held their breath and prayed silently for him.

Not long after, the man climbed to the edge of the battlement and quietly looked in. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he climbed up the city wall. Soon, he tied the rope to the battlement, hung the long rope down, and shook it for several times.

Seeing this signal, Ling Yue quickly rushed out with everyone and ran to the edge of the city wall. The two believers immediately climbed the long rope and climbed onto the city wall, each holding their hunting bows and guarded them, and put down another spare rope.

Ling Yue gently patted Lingshan, tied the spare rope to Lingshan's waist, and then lifted her up hard.

At this time, we must cherish time. Lingshan didn't care about saying goodbye at all, and grabbed the rope and climbed up the city wall.

At this moment, a strong archer walked out of the city tower and untied his pants while walking. When he was eating, the food was too salty and he drank a lot of water. Now his lower abdomen was really swollen. As soon as he took out the object, he saw the black shadow on the city wall next to him.

The strong archer didn't care about swearing, and subconsciously opened his mouth and tried to warn him. At this moment, an alert believer discovered him and immediately shot the arrow!

The people who were selected by Ling Yue to participate in this operation were far higher than ordinary people in terms of skill and agility. Although the believer did not have time to aim carefully, the arrow was still ready to hit the throat of the strong archer, showing the excellence of the believer.

However, before Ling Yue and the others could be happy, the corpse of the strong archer shook and suddenly fell to the side of the city wall. With a thud, the body fell from the city wall and blood splashed everywhere!

In this quiet night, the sound was very far away! After the time was finished, the enemy would definitely come to visit him when he heard the movement. Ling Shan was a little stunned, but Ling Yue knew that this was a critical moment of life and death. She hurriedly urged: "Climb quickly!"

At this moment, four strong archers rushed out of the city tower and immediately discovered the most conspicuous target - Lingshan. The four of them immediately took off their longbows from their shoulders, pulled out their arrows and shot them towards Lingshan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lingshan held the rope tightly with her hands, kicked her legs hard on the city wall, and immediately bounced off the wall. All four long arrows fell into the earth-studded city wall.

Seeing that the shooting fell, the four archers immediately drew another long arrow and aimed at Lingshan.

At this critical moment, Ling Yue's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly: "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand!"

Although the three subordinates around her did not know Ling Yue’s intentions, they subconsciously repeated, "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand!"

Hearing this shout, the archer subconsciously aimed at Ling Yue and shot decisively. "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand up" was the slogan of the Yellow Turban soldiers when the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Could it be that the people under the city are the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves? Their heads are valuable than ordinary thieves!

Seeing four long arrows shooting, the three subordinates following Ling Yue did not hesitate at all. They immediately blocked Ling Yue, waving the short sword in their hands desperately, trying to block the arrows.

However, it is still dark now, and the other party is using a powerful bow that is dominant with strength. The actions of these three people must have done useless work. Two of the long arrows were lost, while the other two long arrows hit a church member at the same time.

He heard the churchman groan and squirt a mouthful of blood. He used all his strength and shouted loudly: "Senior Sister, go quickly!"

However, Ling Yue ignored her own danger and was still shouting loudly: "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand!"

Lingshan's tears fell. She knew what her senior sister meant. She wanted to use her own life to attract the attention of the defending archers and create a chance for Lingshan to escape. At this time, she must not hesitate. Lingshan gritted her teeth and used all her strength to climb up the city wall.

At this time, the two believers who climbed up the city wall also began to fight back with their hunting bows, but the bows and arrows in their hands were secretly made by themselves, and their power was not comparable to those of the hunting bows. The only consequence of the two believers' continuous fights was that they were shot by these four powerful archers and shot into hedgehogs!

Taking advantage of the time these two believers exchanged their lives, Lingshan finally climbed up the city wall. Her shoulder injury was broken and blood was flowing all over her shoulder!

At this time, the first monk who went up the city had tied a long rope facing outside the city, and quickly stepped forward and said to Lingshan, "Saint Madam, go quickly, I will stop the pursuers for you!"

Lingshan did not go down the city immediately, but turned around and looked at the city. Seeing that there was only one person left by the elder sister to protect her, Lingshan, who was crying, shouted loudly: "I killed Wensheng, come and catch me if I have any kind!"

Hearing Ling Shan’s shouting, the four archers hesitated a little, and Ling Yue also shouted loudly: “I killed Wen Sheng, I have the will to kill me!”

Lingshan was still going to shout, and the believer next to him had already urged: "Saint Madam, go quickly, if you don't leave, the senior sister will never leave!"

While speaking, the believer ran to the wall of the pile, picked up the blood-stained hunting bow, and shot randomly in the direction of the strong archer! It was also the luck of the believer that the random arrow actually penetrated the small hole in the wall of the pile, hitting the vital point of a strong archer!

The strong archers no longer hesitated. They had to protect themselves first and then eliminate the enemy. So the remaining three people immediately hid behind the wall and quickly launched a counterattack against the enemies on the wall.

At this moment, Lingshan also tied the rope and turned over and jumped down from under the city wall. She put the rope so quickly that she had already run on the wall very fast, as if she was falling from the city wall. This would be an extremely serious test for her injured body.

When it was about three feet away from the ground, the rope came to an end. The rope tied to her waist suddenly tightened, almost breaking her beehive waist!

At this moment of stagnation, Lingshan felt that the fire was burning in her waist and abdomen, and the fire was hurting! She could no longer bear it and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood! But at this time, she was still concerned about all this. Lingshan quickly took out a dagger from her waist, cut the long rope, and shouted loudly: "Senior Sister, run away!!!"

At this time, the believer on the city wall had already been martyred after destroying the two archers, and only Ling Yue was left near the city wall. Hearing Ling Yue's shout, Ling Yue, who had three or four arrows on her body, agreed and ran towards the shadow.

Looking at the thief who was looming in the shadows under the city, the strong archer on the city shot a few arrows, but still did not achieve any results. However, I was much lucky compared to my colleagues who died in the line of duty.

Thinking of this, he quickly pulled out his waist knife and ran to the dead body. While there was no one, he had to cut off his head quickly. This was a great achievement! When he ran to the city wall, Lingshan had disappeared into the night...
