There is a small map at the end of the chapter for everyone to take a look at. In addition, he really tried his best to recover it
The arrow whizzed out and hit the target as expected. The man fell off the horse and was dragged directly.
The next moment, Zhu Jinghong had shot his second arrow, followed by another scream.
Two people were shot off their horses in a row. The dozen or so people who came on horseback were suddenly frightened. They reined in their reins and ran around, not daring to get any closer.
They waited for their accomplices to catch up and used arrow rain to suppress Zhu Jinghong.
So under the cover of Zhu Jinghong alone, a group of guards quickly retreated and ran towards the house not far away.
It is said to be not far, but in fact it is only three to four hundred meters. It will take two to three minutes to get there.
As time went by, the White Lotus cultists who were not on horseback also chased out and once again fired at Zhu Jinghong and his party from a distance.
The elite level of the Dragon Guards exceeded their expectations. In less than ten minutes of fighting, they had lost more than thirty people.
Even if everyone is a die-hard member of the White Lotus Sect, who is willing to make fun of their lives? Naturally, if they can shoot from a distance, they will not fight at close range.
Zhu Jinghong’s archery skills allow him to suppress the White Lotus cultists in the distance within the maximum range.
These people did not dare to enter the shooting range. They were too far away and could not shoot Zhu Jinghong. Both sides moved steadily eastward.
"Outflank him on both sides, you idiot," Wang Xianxiang yelled angrily.
It is necessary to take a detour when outflanking us. Now that we are surrounded by fields, the detour is not that easy.
The horsemen did have a speed advantage, but these people were taken care of by Zhu Jinghong, and only seven or eight people were left after the casualties.
Although there were many horses at the scene, not everyone in the White Lotus Sect knew how to ride a horse. Killing one person would really mean one less person.
"Run, run, run"
Out of the Longtan Mountain range, we are surrounded by rice fields that are growing gratifyingly, and a large number of farmers are scattered around working.
When they first heard the movement in Longtan Mountain, these people didn't take it seriously, but after hearing the screams and the sound of firecrackers, they reacted one by one.
"It's the Japanese bandits who are coming"
"Run away quickly"
"Dad, don't ask for that trouble, run away, the baby is still at home ”
More and more people are running away, and the shouts in the wilderness are getting louder and louder, making it a mess.
In the Xue family courtyard not far away, Xue Pan, who was taking a nap, was woken up, and then rushed outside and yelled, "Whoever is making noise, drive them away"
This is now. If Zhu Jinghong hadn't taken care of him, Xue Pan would have ordered his slaves to arrest and beat up the tenants who disturbed his dreams.
"My uncle is in trouble. The tenants outside are running away, saying that Japanese pirates are coming."
"What?" Xue Pan suddenly woke up, his face full of disbelief.
"The Japanese pirates were hundreds of miles away, and there was a large army of the imperial court to suppress them. How could they come here?"
"This slave doesn't know.This is indeed what is said outside."
"I'll go take a look." After overcoming the crisis, they worked hard to complete the imperial mission.
The procurement of grain, grass and weapons required by the imperial court has been completed, and has been reviewed and accepted by the Inspectorate and the Ministry of War. Now it is delivered to the Jinling Dusi and Jingying, so the Xue family can naturally do it. He breathed a sigh of relief.
So Aunt Xue took a pair of children to Nanjing Temple in Longtan Mountain to worship Buddha and fulfill her vows.
It was getting late after the prayers ended yesterday, and everyone in the Xue family was there. Most of the thousands of acres of farmland around the courtyard belong to the Xue family. Even the Nanjing nunnery in Longtan Mountain is only possible because of the Xue family’s incense money. Maintain.
The three of the Xue family planned to rest for a night and then rush back to the city, but they encountered such an unexpected incident.
Xue Pan asked the servant to close the door. Looking out from the ladder, it turned out that there were people chasing each other in the distance, and from time to time there was the sound of firecrackers.
This scared Xue Pan, and he quickly ordered his servants to look for the guy.
p>
"In such a disaster, the incense money donated to Nanjing'an is really in vain" Xue Pan cursed secretly
This is said to be a separate courtyard, but it is actually three. Then, the noise outside quickly alerted Aunt Xue and her daughter.
"What's going on?"
"Madam, it's said that Japanese pirates are coming."
"What?" "Aunt Xue was shocked.
She, a housewife, also knows how ferocious the Japanese pirates are.
These thieves committed adultery, robbery, murder and arson. They would let anyone go wherever they appeared.
Aunt Xue never imagined that this kind of thing would happen to her family.
“I wouldn’t have come to worship if I had known it,” Aunt Xue complained. /p>
Besides, Xue Baochai was also frightened to the point of despair. The desperate situation he was facing was no longer something that could be solved by cleverness.
"Mother" Baochai wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say at the moment. What should I say?
She is only fifteen after all. After all, she is just a little girl. How can she not be afraid of something like this?
The Japanese pirates have done evil for many years, and those people are angry. Everyone has heard of these things, and if those things happen to them, no one can bear it.
When the Xue family mother and daughter were in panic, Xue Pan, who led the slaves to guard the door, heard it now. There was a hurried knock on the door.
"Open the door, open the door quickly"
"Who dares to open the door when the Japanese thieves are coming? You can go somewhere else" Xue Pan scolded with a wooden stick in his hand.
Someone outside cried again, "Open the door quickly, we are not Japanese pirates"
"We are officers and soldiers, not Japanese pirates, open the door quickly"
"Open the door quickly, or else we will all "I have to die"
Through the crack in the door, Xue Pan saw clearly the attire of the person who came, and it really didn't look like a Japanese bandit.
Thinking again about what the other party said, it was indeed a dead end for him to stick to it. If the officers and soldiers come in to resist together, maybe we can hold on longer.a while.
"Open the door and let them in"
The Xue family servants were so frightened that they did not dare to rush forward after hearing the order, so they pulled out the bolt and opened the door.
The guards immediately rushed in. The first ones were injured, and the healthy ones were behind.
"Hurry, help," Xue Pan greeted quickly.
The Xue family servants immediately stepped forward to help and freed more uninjured guards, and then these people turned around and went out to stop them.
"Carry them all in and place them inside the second gate," Xue Pan ordered quickly.
The outermost courtyard is crowded with people, and leaving the wounded here will make it inconvenient for others to move.
While everyone was busy, the guards outside retreated one after another, with Zhu Jinghong still walking on their tail.
"Thirteenth Master, come back quickly" Hou Jing shouted loudly.
Good guy, Xue Pan thought he heard it wrong. How could he hear the title "Thirteenth Master" here.
When he rubbed his eyes and looked outside, he was suddenly stunned. If it wasn’t Zhu Jinghong, who was it?
“Close the door, close the door” Wang Jie of the Hundred Households shouted. .
The guards acted quickly and quickly closed the door of the Xue family and quickly organized a defense.
After being shot and killed again, Zhu Jinghong's face and clothes were stained with blood, and the tip of the knife was still dripping with blood.
Xue Pan couldn't help but tremble in his legs when he looked at him coldly. He was so awe-struck that he didn't even forget to be polite. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "See Thirteenth Master"
Putting the knife in his hand and putting it down Zhu Jinghong wiped off the blood on his clothes, and then said in a deep voice, "Get up."
A guard entered the house, and suddenly there was a bigger commotion outside, making the people in the inner courtyard even more panicked, thinking they were Japanese pirates. Called in.
"Go get the knife, bring the knife" Aunt Xue scolded the maid.
"Madam, what are you doing with the knife?" The maid was trembling.
"Go quickly" Aunt Xue became more and more angry.
While the maids were rummaging around, Aunt Xue turned to look at her daughter and said, "Baochai, the Japanese thieves are so cruel. There will be life or death today. You and I must not be humiliated."
< p>Being killed after being insulted is worse than committing suicide to save your reputation.Baochai nodded solemnly. At this moment, her eyes were empty, and tears fell suddenly.
Her life had just begun, but she didn’t expect it to end like this.
The room was filled with despair, but the next moment a maid shouted, "Madam, the officers and soldiers are coming." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
