No wonder I didn't see any other soldiers when I entered the camp just now. They must have been hiding in the camp tents, making it difficult for them to show up, right?
"No!" Yun Kong rushed out of the tent, he wanted to stop Hong Haoyi!
Under the illumination of several bonfires in the camp, a tall man with white hair was seen standing at the gate of the camp, firing short arrows towards the camp with a divine arm crossbow, and there was an empty armor lying at his feet.
Hong Haoyi's eyebrows lit up with red light, making his face blood red.
He used a chain crossbow that could fire three arrows in succession. The two officers and soldiers dodged left and right, intending to block the arrows with their swords. Seeing their panic, they must be very afraid of Beishen.
Wherever Hong Haoyi's arrow passed, fine powder-like snowflakes fell from the air, leaving an ice-like trail.
"Don't hurt my subordinates!" The squad leader pulled up a 300-pound strong bow and fired an arrow. It hit the arrow Hong Haoyi had just shot. The two arrows hit each other and spun around in the air for more than a hundred times before landing.
"Hey!" Hong Haoyi is over eighty years old, but his voice is still as loud as a bell, "What a handsome arrow! Who are you?"
"I am the captain of the army, and these people are the Imperial Guards. If you kill the Imperial Guards, aren't you afraid that the Imperial Court will charge you with banditry?"
"I, Hong, only have monsters in my eyes, and I will kill all monsters! Look at this dead monster, didn't it show its true colors?" He kicked the armor under his feet towards the squad leader, and a rat corpse fell out of it, "What do you mean? , how could the imperial court punish him when he saw this?"
The squad leader stared at Hong Haoyi angrily, turned to look at the two subordinates beside him, gritted his teeth and said: "Whether they are human or demon, they are all my subordinates!"
As he spoke, the squad leader quickly drew an arrow from his quiver and put it on his bow. In a blink of an eye, he drew his strong bow and pointed the arrow at Hong Haoyi: "You killed my subordinates, and I have no choice but to ask you to pay with your life."
Hong Haoyi said in surprise: "My subordinates are monsters, aren't you afraid?"
Yun Kong jumped out and shouted to Hong Haoyi: "Mr. Hong! Please stop!"
Hong Haoyi frowned and said, "Who are you?"
Time was running out and Yun Kong had no time to say more: "You have also killed monsters in front of me. I beg you to stop! They are all men who protect their families and their country!"
"A demon is a demon! What more can you say?" Without saying a word, he rushed into the camp, raised the divine arm crossbow with one hand, and grabbed three copper arrows from his waist pouch with the other hand.
The squad leader fired two arrows in a row, and Hong Haoyi used his eight steps to catch cicadas. His steps were like walking through flowers and trees, and he narrowly avoided the arrows that were powerful enough to pierce the armor.
The horses in the camp suddenly neighed, and four or five horses broke free from their reins and rushed towards Hong Haoyi.
Yun Kong took a closer look and saw a rat lying on the back of each horse.
The squad leader took advantage of the chaos and ran into the horse formation. He cornered his way to Hong Haoyi, swung his big bow and grabbed his wrist.
Unexpectedly, although Hong Haoyi was old, his arm strength was not inferior to that of the young man. He grabbed the squad leader's big bow with one hand and refused to let him buckle it.
The squad leader couldn't fight with his wits. He only turned his hand, and the big bow turned half a circle and caught Hong Haoyi's hand.
When Hong Haoyi was surprised, the captain pulled the string and released it. The bowstring hit Hong Haoyi's wrist, which immediately hurt his heart and lungs, but he still refused to let go of the crossbow.
The horse stopped in front of him, and the rats jumped off the horse one after another, jumped on Hong Haoyi's arm, and bit his arm hard. He didn't want his arm to be disabled, so he finally let go of the divine arm crossbow.
The squad leader tied his hands with a big bow to prevent him from breaking free. Two of his subordinates ran over and put their sword blades on Hong Haoyi's neck: "Brother Yue, kill him!"
"No," the squad leader shook his head and said, "Tie him up."
They tied up Hong Haoyi and escorted him back to the camp. Many rats came out of the camp as they passed by. Each one stood like a human, watching Hong Haoyi passing by. Two subordinates said angrily: "Brother Yue, this person must be ordered by Tao Jun to destroy our military strength!"
"What is Tao Jun?" Hong Haoyi sneered unhappily: "I, Hong, have lived an upright life, and no one has ever been able to order me around!"
Hong Haoyi was escorted into the camp tent, and Yun Kong also entered.
"You kid," Hong Haoyi faced the team leader: "You are young, but you are very skilled. If you want to know who lost, please tell me your name!"
"My surname is Yue, my name is Fei, and I am a country boy." The squad leader said while playing with Hong Haoyi's divine arm crossbow. "This weapon is so sophisticated! Mr. Hong is famous all over the world. Why did he take a fancy to my small military camp and come to kill me?" Soldiers?"
"I was passing by here and saw the demonic aura soaring into the sky, so I came to kill the demons." Hong Haoyi said, "You brought a group of demon soldiers, how can you defeat humans?"
"The officers and soldiers are weak and dare not risk their lives. They have no intention of killing the thieves," Yue Fei said seriously. "My brothers are resourceful and courageous. As long as they are willing to fight for the country, there is no difference between humans and monsters." These words made the subordinates around him feel loyal. Fill in the blanks.
"Brother-in-law, please forgive me!" The two subordinates knelt on one knee, "I have deceived you before, and I didn't dare to let you know our origins!"
"I'm surprised," Yue Fei took a deep breath, "but I don't mind."
Hong Haoyi was also surprised: "I think you know?"
"No, I don't know. My hometown is in Tangyin. I heard that Zhending Mansion was recruiting soldiers, so I came to sign up to show off what I have learned. I met these brothers on the road and said they wanted to join the army together."
Hong Haoyi asked the officers and soldiers: "Did you deliberately find him? Look! The monster is really uneasy and has good intentions!"
The subordinate said: "That's right! We came here deliberately to follow Brother Yue, because there was an expert who told us that if our rat clan wants to achieve perfection, he has a clear way, which is to follow Yue Fei and protect Yue Fei, otherwise the Song Dynasty It will fall into the hands of the barbarians two hundred years early!"
"Two hundred years earlier?" Yun Kong immediately thought of Zhang Tieqiao, the divine calculator, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of master is he?"
"He only said that his name is Zhixun Taoist." The subordinate said, "He has profound Taoism. After listening to his words, the clan elder ordered us to follow brother-in-law closely."
"What talents do rats have?" Hong Haoyi sneered.
"Are you asking me a question?" Yue Fei looked at him coldly, "If you want to know the answer, why not wait and see?"
Hong Haoyi looked at Yue Fei with wide eyes.
In an instant, he could feel the fate this young man was carrying.
Hong Haoyi has had a hidden eye between his eyebrows since he was a child, hiding under his thin skin. The hidden eye can see monsters and can distinguish between humans and monsters at a glance. Whenever he is in a high mood, the hidden eye will glow red, especially when he feels a monster approaching.
Now his hidden eyes glowed again, making Yue Fei's face flush.
He saw a demonic energy entangled in Yue Fei's body. It was not his own, but a very deep cause and effect.
"Okay," Hong Haoyi said maliciously, "I'll see how you control these demon soldiers! When you are defeated, I will slowly kill the demons."
The squad leader's subordinates were immediately furious, and several tufts of bristles suddenly appeared on their faces. He put his sword on Hong Haoyi's neck: "Brother-in-law, spare your life, but our brothers will not spare your life. You only need to step out of the camp, and we will be there." When it’s time to avenge your brother.”
Yue Fei gently waved his hand and stopped his subordinates: "Ground them both and send someone to guard them." He turned to look at Yunkong: "Taoist Priest, you won't escape secretly, will you?"
"I also want to see how you win this battle."
"Okay, I won't tie you up. We are ruthless. If anything happens, you will have a chance to escape."
Yun Kong understood what he meant.
If anything happens, he can decide whether to untie Hong Haoyi's rope.
※※※
The squad leader's camp was brightly lit. In addition to his two close subordinates, there were two rat corpses lying on the ground. Dozens of rats surrounded the rat corpses, lowering their heads sadly.
"This is your earliest comrade who died in the line of duty. Before we send out troops tomorrow morning, we will offer wine and bury him." Yue Fei said to the group of rats, "Now I finally understand many things. When I said that I would send thirty people to sneak into the enemy camp, You brothers are rushing to go because you are rats."
A few days ago, Yue Fei sent thirty people to pretend to be businessmen and let bandits rob them, then surrendered and expressed his willingness to join the bandit camp and become their gang.
Tao Jun and Jia Jin's group of bandits had defeated the officers and soldiers several times, and they were so satisfied that they no longer paid attention to the officers and soldiers. What's more, they also needed to increase their troops. These thirty young and strong men were exactly what they wanted to recruit.
"Yes," the subordinate said with cupped hands, "In addition to cooperating inside and outside, we also have other plans."
