Xiao Liu turned his anger into motivation, suppressed his excitement, and adjusted his expression.
He tried his best to pretend to be an honest farmer, like ordinary people, but saw a little fear on the faces of the officers and soldiers.
Captain Liu, who was guarding the city, narrowed his eyes at him and felt that something was wrong.
How could a poor guy with such a shabby temperament pass the toll booth? You definitely didn’t hold it in!
Could it be that the bandits came here in disguise to rob?
That should be it, these amateurs... are kind of interesting!
Xiao Liu walked straight into the city gate, showed a flattering smile when he got close to the city defenders, and then continued walking in.
Captain Liu stretched out his hand to stop us: "Wait a moment, show us the directions."
Xiaoliu took out Lu Yin from his arms and handed it over. Naturally, this kind of thing must be prepared in advance.
"Yeah, no problem!"
Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't enter the city yet, retreat! Retreat to a position ten steps away from the city gate!" Captain Liu commanded.
At this time, Xiao Liu's heart started to rise again, and he said cautiously: "Guan Ye! Why don't you let me enter the city if there is no problem with my road?"
Captain Liu smiled and explained with a kind face: "Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not letting you in, there is an important person visiting the city today! There are so many people, I'm afraid the distinguished guest won't like it, and he will leave after a while! So there is something special from above. Ming, please wait here for a while, please let the people behind you know, don't let them come over yet, I will go back and confirm again."
Xiaoliu had no choice but to look at his expression, so he could only go back and inform.
Taking advantage of the opportunity he was waiting outside, Captain Liu ran back to the city again.
At this moment, two rows of crossbowmen were hiding on both sides of the city gate, riding horses and holding repeating crossbows, waiting to set off.
Captain Liu whispered: "Brothers, if something unexpected happens later, follow my orders! Come out and shoot!"
After that, he ran up to the tower and told the soldier holding the telescope: "Keep an eye on it! They all came out and told me! If things are done right, our bonuses may be doubled this year!"
"Be careful, it's all right!"
.........
When Captain Liu returned to the city gate, about fifty people had gathered ten steps away.
The soldier next to him came to him and whispered: "Brother, this is definitely professional. You see, they seem to be lining up."
"Hmm... It doesn't look like bandits. Anyway, it's better to be careful. Be careful not to mix serious people among them. It would be bad if you accidentally hurt them."
"Don't worry, usually no one comes here at this time."
After waiting for half an hour, people began to gather outside the city one after another.
When there were nearly 200 people, someone from above came down to inform Captain Liu and whispered: "Captain Liu, we should be ready to take action."
Captain Liu nodded calmly and said, "Well, you go back first, and remember to find someone to keep an eye on the city gate in case of any eventuality."
After that, he shouted to the crowd not far away: "Brothers! You can enter the city! But there are too many people now, so everyone should line up and enter the city in an orderly manner!"
"Everyone lined up in two rows sideways and checked the roads leading into the city one by one!"
Xiao Liu wondered: "Guan Ye! Why are they arranged in rows horizontally? Isn't it more convenient to arrange them vertically?"
Of course it's easier to shoot you to death!
Captain Liu cursed secretly in his heart, and then explained in a pleasant manner: "It is a rule set by our county magistrate! We never line up vertically, because standing vertically is not good for feng shui! Hurry up, don't waste time!"
A group of people began to line up silently, waiting for arrangements to enter the city.
Seeing them lining up in an orderly manner, Captain Liu held his chin and felt quite proud.
He pointed at Xiaoliu and said, "Brother, you are the first to come. Come and check the road first."
Xiao Liu walked over in astonishment: "Master, haven't you already checked it?"
While speaking, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, this is not good...Why are there so many shits in Taoyuan County?
Captain Liu spread his hands and raised his chin: "The brothers above are watching. The process needs to be carried out."
Xiaoliu took a deep breath and handed over the guide again.
Captain Liu looked at it pretendingly: "Well, that's enough. After the security check, we can enter the city."
Oh shit! Not finished yet?
Xiao Liu suppressed his displeasure and said, "What is security check?"
"Security check!"
As he said that, before Xiao Liu could react, Captain Liu's big hand touched his waist.
The hard object came into my hands immediately, and it felt like the grip of some kind of weapon!
Xiao Liu reacted suddenly, his hand instinctively clasped Captain Liu's hand, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "What are you doing~!"
"Let me see what you have with you?"
"These are farm tools for working, sir, are you trying to embarrass a villain?" He was stronger than others, so he had to be humble.
"Oh? Farm tools? What's so shameful about that?" After saying that, Team Liu made a little effort to pull out the so-called "farm tools".
A group of people behind him looked at Xiaoliu nervously, not knowing what was going on.
But it looked like there was a dispute, and they unconsciously put their hands behind their waists.
The two were still secretly competing.
The soldier beside Team Liu hugged his arms and sneered: "Stop competing, our boss is the runner-up in the fifth Taoyuan County Arm Wrestling Competition. If you compete with him, you are even worse!"
What the hell...Xiao Liu couldn't help but look at Captain Liu with pleading eyes as his face turned red.
Captain Liu smiled evilly: "Please, you are weak!"
After saying that, he used his right arm to pull out the object from behind Xiao Liu's waist.
With a squeaking sound, he followed the seam and pulled off half of his trouser leg, exposing half of his buttocks...
A short sword suddenly appeared in Captain Liu's hand!
Xiaoliu was stunned, his mind went blank, and he only felt his butt was cold.
Before he could react, a loud roar sounded in his ears: "Brothers, come out!!!"
Before he could recover from the tinnitus, he was slapped and knocked unconscious.
A group of men and horses suddenly burst out from the city, and the repeating crossbows in their hands shot out arrows like raindrops!
At this time, the people in line had already reacted, and they all roared and drew out the blades at their waists.
But the roar quickly turned into a howl.
Most of the people in the first row fell down, and the rest fled in all directions!
Infantry is already at a disadvantage against cavalry, not to mention that the people on my side use short swords while others use crossbows!
The people in the first row fell down like mowing grass. They were not smart enough to know that they couldn't fight hard and had no choice but to run away!
More than 20 people holding repeating crossbows chased after them, shooting wildly!
Although this continuous crossbow sounds awesome, it also has great limitations and has never become mainstream in history.
The range is short, and the effective range is only about fifteen to twenty meters.
The accuracy is poor, the power is small, the armor-piercing ability is approximately zero, and the lethality ability is also very poor.
This is why Captain Liu asked them to keep a distance of ten steps.
However, Defending the City is fairly easy to use, and the learning cost is relatively low. Ordinary people can get started with just a few fiddles.
This is also the reason why Lian Nu has been stored in the tower and has not been abandoned.
The situation in front of me is simply tailor-made for Liannu!
More than 200 people dressed in civilian clothes looked like moving targets!
To the people of Taoyuan County, it is more like a bloody hunting game.
As you chase me, five minutes pass and the battle is over!
Although the result was not perfect, a few managed to escape and got into the woods not far away.
After all, there were only more than twenty people chasing him, and the enemy troops were too scattered to escape.
But the soldiers in Taoyuan looked at their opponents who were wailing all over the place, and they still started to cheer loudly in celebration!
Xiaoliu woke up amid the cheers, and what caught his eye was Captain Liu's kind smiling face.
Then he felt his head being moved and pointed at the wounded who were wailing in the open space outside the city.
"Little brother, all of your people have been killed! Where did they come from? Just recruit them, so you don't have to go back and suffer the physical pain."
Xiao Liu stared blankly at the wailing crowd in front of him.
That...are obviously his brothers, they are all elite soldiers! What happened...How long did it take for them to lose? ! There are obviously not many people on the opposite side!
A huge pain instantly filled Xiao Liu's chest, and he recalled the grievances he had suffered along the way. He endured the pain, looked at Captain Liu and roared: "Kill me! Shi Ke cannot be killed!!"
Captain Liu nodded solemnly, extended his thumb and said, "He's got the guts, he's a man!"
"Take him back and humiliate him slowly!"
