Chapter 1613: Hit by an arrow!
New Year's Eve.
Following a loud shout from the bandit leader Kan Ji, countless sand bandits suddenly rushed out from outside the city, waving sharp steel knives in their hands. Illuminated by the fireworks on New Year's Eve, they reflected astonishing, colorful light.
Everyone's target was the huge tent.
The Military Supervision Office of the Vice Governor.
The people and the army in the city were all immersed in the joy of New Year's Eve, especially the roar of those huge fireworks, which spread across the desolate wilderness, deafening as if the earth was shaking.
Everyone just listened to that huge sound.
Everyone also looked up at the huge flowers blooming in the sky.
No one reacted.
The first group of sand bandits had already reached the outside of the military tent and encountered only a small resistance, which they easily repelled.
The large curtain of the military tent hung low, covering the inside completely, without even a hint of light.
I think the governor must have fallen asleep, or he is just playing with a woman.
Kanji and the others laughed sinisterly and waved their hands at the bandits behind them: "Go in and kill them!"
After saying that, everyone rushed forward.
However, just after they rushed into the huge tent, they heard silence inside. Because the tent was thick, the firelight outside could not shine in. After rushing in, they could not see anything, and everyone was in chaos.
"What's going on?"
"Where are the people?"
"Where's that damned official? Kill him!"
"Don't mess around!"
In a panic, someone lit a tinder.
The faint flames slowly rose up amid the expectant gazes of the crowd, illuminating the surroundings. Everyone immediately looked around and suddenly realized what was happening!
“No one!”
"This tent is empty!"
"We've fallen into a trap!"
As soon as everyone understood what was happening, they immediately ran out, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a whooshing sound outside the tent, above their heads, as if something opened in the air and suddenly fell down.
The entire tent shook twice under the pressure.
Those who rushed to the door and tried to run out were suddenly bounced back. Everyone hurried over and found that the entire tent was covered by a huge net that came from nowhere.
They are like prey in a net.
The group of people suddenly became furious, and kept rushing out, breaking out, and even waving the steel knives in their hands to chop the heavy tents and huge nets, but it was completely useless.
At this time, on the distant earth wall.
A figure stood facing the wind, the cold wind blew his clothes fluttering.
With his hands behind his back, he watched with a smile as the huge net caught the tent and the bandits who were like turtles in a jar, still struggling in vain.
Laugh out loud.
"Even if you are as cunning as a devil, you still have to drink my foot washing water!"
It was none other than Ye Zheng, who had been preparing here early in the morning and watched the bandits rush into the city, break into the camp, and finally become his prey.
He was standing on the earthen wall with his hands behind his back, feeling proud, when suddenly, his body shook.
“Ouch!”
The soldiers below were so frightened that they rushed forward and shouted: "Commander-in-Chief!"
"No, nothing."
Originally, he stood on the wall with his hands behind his back in order to make himself look more majestic. However, the wind was so strong in the wilderness that it was already very tiring just to stand in the wind, and he could hardly bear the posing.
At this moment, a burst of fire suddenly lit up in the chaotic tent.
Some of the soldiers were startled when they saw the fire.
Ye Zheng immediately reached out: "Give me the bow and arrow!"
The guard next to him hurriedly handed a bow and arrow to him. Ye Zheng took it and drew the bowstring. As soon as he finished this action, he saw a fire meteor breaking through the top of the tent and flying towards the sky.
That's the signal from those bandits!
When they attacked the stronghold of the sand bandits before, they did not have control over all the people. One of them sent out this signal, which attracted more sand bandits, and Ye Zheng and his men suffered a small loss.
This time, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and shot an arrow as the signal rose.
Then I heard a "whoosh" sound.
The fireball encountered a faster meteor, and with a flash of cold light, it hit the signal directly. There was a loud "bang" sound, and a spark exploded on the top of the tent, turning into countless flames that fell down and instantly ignited the tent.
"ah--!"
“Help!”
At any time, the shouts of the bandits were heard. However, because the tents were thick and there was a strong net outside, no matter how they struggled and shouted, they could not escape and were burned to death inside.
Ye Zheng stood on the wall, watching this scene, and waved to the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers slowly put down their bows and arrows.
There was still flame on the arrow.
The original plan was to wipe out this group of sand bandits who came to attack, but they didn't expect that they would not only fall into the trap, but also seek their own death. Ye Zheng stood on the wall and watched this scene coldly.
Although the flames were rising, his gaze was cold.
After a while, he snorted coldly.
"There will be such a report!"
During the time he had been in the northwest, he had seen too many tragedies caused by these sand bandits. Entire caravans had been massacred by them, and women and even children were not spared. If it were not for the special terrain of Thermidor, which made it difficult to attack, he would have wiped them out.
This is just the beginning!
Thinking of this, he clenched the bow and arrow in his hand.
The soldiers standing behind him, including Yang Dai, all looked at him solemnly.
Originally, they looked down on Ye Zheng, thinking that he had no real talent and was just a confidant of the emperor who came to this wild land of the northwest to show off his power. Moreover, he always did things inexplicably, and he was standing on the wall posing so late at night. In the eyes of the soldiers, he was almost like a madman.
However, in the previous battles, he always led the troops and fought bloody battles with the soldiers.
That night, everyone was puzzled as to why he was hiding in the city. Some even thought that he was just looking for trouble. Unexpectedly, the sand bandits really launched a sneak attack.
This person is indeed brave and resourceful.
Everyone secretly admired him and decided to follow him.
But suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the firelight.
Ye Zheng stood on the wall and swayed again.
That night, he had been swaying in the wind for who knows how long. Everyone was used to him scaring people and didn't pay much attention to him. But this time, he couldn't stand still and was swaying slightly as he stood on the wall.
Yang Dai felt something was wrong.
He raised his head and asked, "Master Ye?"
When he looked up, he was shocked because he saw an arrow hit Ye Zheng's chest!
"Master Ye!"
He shouted, and Ye Zheng fell off the wall.
