139 Intense Battle
The bandit who was seriously chiseling at the wall finally dug a hole the size of a bowl. Looking at the hole, the bandit excitedly poked a bandit standing at the side and said in a low voice, “Mountain, look, I’ve dug a hole. Quickly call them over. Let’s dig at the wall along the hole.”
The bandit looked over and covered his mouth to suppress his laughter. He tapped the bandit beside him and pointed at the hole in the mud wall for him to see. “Haha! It’s really dug through. Quickly take the knife and dig at the hole. Everyone, exert your strength here.”
The few of them cut down the wood and pried it open with sticks. Soon, a big hole was opened in the mud wall. Two bandits said to the others, “Someone, go and call Yang Chun and the others over. The two of us will go in and push them out.”
As the two of them spoke, they crawled in. The bandit called Big Mountain saw a straw shed on the side of the mud wall. There was a charcoal fire burning in the straw shed that was as warm as spring. There was also a person lying on a wooden bed and sleeping soundly.
“Damn it, you’re still living a beautiful life!” Mountain picked up his knife and walked gently into the straw shed with a sinister smile. He raised his knife and stabbed it into the villager’s chest. The villager died without even grunting.
When Ji Xiang arrived at the mud wall, he saw a hole the size of a wooden basin. There were also two bandits desperately digging the soil out. The person guarding the mud wall were covered in blood and lying in the straw shed.
Ji Xiang pulled out an arrow and nocked it on the string, killing one of the bandits. The other saw his partner fall to the ground and shouted, “Not good. Someone’s coming.”
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Xiang shot through his chest. Ji Xiang narrowed his eyes and looked around. He did not find any more bandits. The digging outside the wall stopped. An instant later, there was the sound of an earth wall being pushed.
Yang Chun had already arrived outside the mud wall with his men. He held a machete and shouted, “Everyone, line up and hit it together. Brother Yang will be here soon.”
A group of people was lined up, side-on, using their shoulders to bang hard against the earthen wall. The wall was crumbling.
Seeing that the wall was going to be knocked down, Ji Xiang jumped onto a big rock and pivoted towards the mud wall. He watched as dozens of bandits stood in line outside and slammed into the mud wall. He hurriedly took out an arrow, pulled the bowstring, and shot. After the bandits were shot, they screamed and fell to the ground.
The other bandits were stunned for a moment before fleeing in all directions. Ji Xiang shot down more than ten bandits in a row. Yang Chun raised his knife and shouted at the bandits, “Go back quickly and poke him down with your spear. The others, continue to push.”
The bandit bent down and leaned against the foot of the mountain as he slipped back under the mud wall. He raised his spear and wooden stick and stabbed at Ji Xiang, but no matter how hard he poked, he could not reach him. As more and more bandits fell to the ground, fewer people were able to push the mud wall.
At this moment, the arrows on Ji Xiang’s were also used up and he prepared to go down the wall and continue killing bandits.
Yang Chun shouted angrily, “Brothers, what are you waiting for? He’s exhausted his arrows. Everyone, quickly knock down the wall and kill that bastard.”
A group of rogues lined up and Yang Chun shouted, “Brothers, bang, brothers, bang.”
The bandits held back their strength and rushed towards the mud wall. With a bang, the mud wall collapsed.
Yang Chun and the bandits laughed wildly. “Hahaha, quickly inform Brother Yang and the others to come over. The rest, follow me.”
The bandits squeezed into the village from the collapse of the wall. Ji Xiang flipped over and jumped down the mud wall. He raised his saber and swept it at the bandits. Blood sprayed out and splattered Yang Chun’s face.
Yang Chun reached for his face and wiped away the blood. He raised his machete in fear and shouted at the remaining people, “Brothers, attack and kill him.”
The bandits surrounded Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang raised his saber and slashed left and right. The bandits who were swept by the blade kept falling. The bandits kept attacking Ji Xiang. Soon, Ji Xiang’s shoulders, legs, and back were pierced by the bandits’ long spears. Ji Xiang gritted his teeth and fought hard. He thought to himself, Looks like I’ll have to die here today. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Young Master to marry me a wife.
Ji Xiang’s movements became slower and slower. He was about to collapse. Yang Chun pointed at Ji Xiang and shouted, “Brothers, hurry. He’s running out of energy.”
When Li Yu rushed to the mud wall and saw that Ji Xiang was surrounded by bandits, her movements slowed down. She shouted at Ji Xiang, “Ji Xiang, retreat. I’m coming.”
When Ji Xiang heard Li Yu’s voice, he perked up and slashed a bandit to death.
Li Yu held the crossbow and shot at the bandits. After a few gunshots, a few of the bandits surrounding Ji Xiang fell to the ground. A hole was torn open in the encirclement, and Li Yu retreated from the encirclement with Ji Xiang.
Li Yu held the crossbow and continued to shoot at the bandits. She asked Ji Xiang worriedly, “Ji Xiang, are you alright?”
Ji Xiang leaned against a large rock to steady his breathing. “Miss, I’m fine. I’m just a little injured.” Ji Xiang took out the Golden Injury Medicine and poured it on his wounds. He leaned against the huge rock to regulate his breathing.
Yang Chun led his men towards Li Yu. Li Yu raised her saber and slashed at Yang Chun, splitting his chest open. Yang Chun held the blade and fell to the ground.
Li Yu spun around and kicked a bandit away. She raised her saber and swept it over. Two of the bandits were swept to the ground by the fierce blade.
When Ji Xiang recovered, he rushed forward to join the battle.
At this moment, the bandits who had informed Brother Yang rushed outside the village and shouted at him, “Brother Yang, leave quickly. The earth wall has opened.”
Brother Yang perked up when he heard that and said to the people guarding the surroundings, “Yang Laoqi, take 30 people to stall them here. The rest of you, follow me to the earth wall in the west.”
Seventh Brother Yang nodded. “Got it, Brother Yang.”
Brother Yang led the bandits behind him and ran towards the west wall.
After Brother Yang left, Ruyi jumped down from the mud wall and said to Butcher He, “Uncle He, I’ll bring people to help Miss. Call Zhao Cai and the others over and get him to open the door and go out to kill those bandits. Uncle Chen Gui, you guys follow me.”
Ruyi led Chen Gui and dozens of people towards the earth wall.
Butcher He rang the gong and looked angrily at the bandits outside the door. “Dogs, don’t be caught by Grandpa.”
When Zhao Cai and the others heard the summoning gong, they said to Liu Changmin, “Uncle Liu, something happened over there. Take two people and guard here. The rest, follow me.”
Zhou Jia also rushed towards the village entrance with Chen Zhong and more than ten people.
Ruyi led her people to the earth wall and saw Li Yu and Ji Xiang fighting a few bandits. The ground was filled with the corpses of the bandits.
Ruyi sped up and rushed over. Brother Yang also arrived with his men and saw the bandits lying on the ground. He shouted angrily, “Kill.”
The bandits raised their knives and rushed toward Li Yu and the others. The two groups of people fought. For a moment, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard, and shouts of killing sounded.
Ruyi raised her saber and slashed at Brother Yang. Brother Yang raised his saber and blocked Ruyi’s saber. He kicked Ruyi, but Ruyi slashed his leg. Brother Yang endured the pain and hurriedly retracted his saber. He raised his saber and slashed horizontally. Ruyi dodged Brother Yang’s saber and pressed forward.
A bandit rushed behind Ruyi and raised his saber to slash at Ruyi. Seeing that Ruyi was surrounded by enemies, Li Yu, who had just finished off a bandit, pulled her sleeve arrow. The sleeve arrow shot out and pierced through the bandit’s neck. He fell to the ground.
Li Yu kicked away the bandits who were charging at Ruyi and stabbed at Brother Yang with her saber. Brother Yang dodged to the side. Li Yu’s saber pierced through Brother Yang’s shoulder blade and she grabbed the hilt and twisted it hard. Brother Yang endured the pain and grabbed Li Yu’s long saber. He raised the saber with one hand and stabbed at Li Yu with all his might. Li Yu dodged to the side and held the saber inserted in Brother Yang’s shoulder blade to suppress Brother Yang. With the other hand, she pulled out the dagger tied to her leg and jumped up. She swung her dagger and cut Brother Yang’s throat. Blood sprayed out. Brother Yang looked at Li Yu in disbelief and clutched his throat as he fell to the ground.
