Chapter 172 A Visitor From Outside the City, an Old Man Smoking

"clear."

Shen Dao responded, then rushed in with a group of people.

Others stayed.

Zhao Ya turned around and looked at the group of cavalry outside the door, with a sneer on his face.

Zhao Ya had discussed it with his second senior brother before coming, and he would be the main one to lead the team.

Zhao Ya gave full play to his own advantages, lighting fires everywhere and making a big splash.

After all, with Zhao Ya's speed, if he wanted to leave, there really weren't many people who could stop him.

But looking at the swarming cavalry, Zhao Ya had no intention of leaving.

He shouted to the people behind him: "Are you all ready?"

"Ready!" The group of people shouted in unison, and then they all took out something like a water gun.

"Point to the sky, aim at the heads of these cavalry, and release!"

Zhao Ya was afraid that these untrained warriors would get excited and spray kerosene on him, so he warned them.

However, he still underestimated the abilities of these warriors.

Compared to the complicated fist and kick routines, this kind of activity of aiming at the target and pulling the trigger couldn't be simpler.

In an instant, the pungent kerosene was sprayed into the sky, and then fell on these cavalrymen like raindrops.

During this period of time, Zhao Ya was not idle at all. In addition to practicing martial arts, he also processed a large amount of kerosene.

This thing is cheap and easy to use, and it played a huge role when the last beast wave attacked the city.

This time, in order to deal with Wei Hongbin and his group of cavalry, Zhao Ya thoughtfully prepared a large amount of kerosene as a meeting gift.

But this alone is not enough. The last time the beasts attacked the city, everyone relied on the strength of the city wall to use the kerosene easily.

Now that he and Wei Hongbin were fighting hand to hand in the city, this advantage was naturally gone.

So Zhao Ya followed the method of Huo Tianxiao, the leader of the third village in Qingzhuling, and made many kerosene guns.

Although this thing is limited in materials, its power can only hit seven or eight meters away at most, and its failure rate is extremely high, so it is basically a one-time consumable.

But Zhao Ya didn't expect this thing to be very powerful. As long as it could spray out the fire oil and cover the desired area, it would be considered a success.

At the same time, this group of cavalry also noticed something was wrong.

"It's kerosene!"

"Run!"

The quick-thinking cavalryman turned his horse's head and wanted to run away.

But as I said before, the street in front of the government office is very narrow, and so many cavalry gathered together to block the road.

So these cavalrymen couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Upon seeing this, some cavalry simply abandoned their horses and tried to escape on foot.

But it was too late.

Zhao Ya raised his hand and threw a fire seal.

boom!

Before the fire broke out, the oil vapor in the air had already ignited the whole place.

Raging flames soared into the sky, and then the screams of these cavalrymen could be heard in the firelight.

The sound was so tragic that it was unbearable to hear.

There was even a look of unbearable expression on the faces of some warriors.

Although the two sides are in a hostile relationship.

But fighting to the death with real swords and guns, being burned alive by fire is really too cruel.

But Zhao Ya was not moved at all.

It's not that he has a heart of stone, but that's how the battlefield is.

Not to mention someone's cruel methods, Zhao Ya believed that if Wei Hongbin's people had kerosene, they would use it even more unscrupulously than himself.

Don't just kill the first culprit. From the moment these cavalry followed Wei Hongbin into the city and acted arrogantly, they could not stay away.

After all, people can't just take advantage and then say it has nothing to do with them when it's time to take responsibility.

At the same time, the tragic scene of the group of cavalry being burned alive in front of the government office shocked the entire battlefield.

The smell of roasted meat filled the air and was nauseating.

Many guards showed fear on their faces, and some even began to retreat quietly.

On the contrary, the morale of the warriors was greatly boosted.

Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield began to change bit by bit.

In the past, the guards relied on the government's geographical advantage to block the attacks of the warriors, but now this advantage is gradually being leveled.

But it is not easy to capture the government office. After all, Wei Hongbin has many martial arts experts under his command.

These people are basically trained according to military methods. Although their realms are generally not high, mostly around the second and third realms, because the training methods are close to actual combat, their combat capabilities are extremely strong.

They are especially good at forming formations and fighting together, and their power is astonishing.

Fashionable Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming had also attacked from the left and right sides. The three parties joined forces and started a fierce battle between the front hall and the back house of the government office.

But because Wei Hongbin had been setting up here for a long time, even if the three parties worked together, they still could not break into the back house.

As a result, the two sides transitioned from the initial fierce battle to a stalemate.

Zhao Ya wandered around the battlefield like a ghost, taking action from time to time to harvest the lives of these military masters.

But these people are Wei Hongbin's die-hard confidants, the best among the best. Even so, they still fight to the death.

Not only that, Zhao Ya's previous idea of ​​forcing Wei Hongbin out of the back house of the government office has not yet been realized.

Even though he asked Pan Xuexian to shoot rockets and spray kerosene into the back house several times, the fire was often quickly extinguished as soon as it started.

Zhao Ya knew that Wei Hongbin had obviously prepared a lot of sand in the back house for fire extinguishing.

For a moment, Zhao Ya actually felt helpless.

Although he had broken through the gate of the government office, if he could not catch Wei Hongbin, then all his efforts would be in vain.

He chopped off a third-level strongman with a knife, and then quietly came to Shang Tiefeng's side.

"Master Shang, this won't work."

Shang Tiefeng waved his two knives, forced back a battle formation that had been blocking him, and then said in a deep voice.

"Yes, although these guys are not strong, they are good at the combined attack technique in the army, and they are all fearless and brave, so they are really difficult to deal with."

"I plan to explore the way in the back house." Zhao Ya said in a deep voice

Shang Tiefeng was shocked, "No, this is too dangerous!"

Shang Jingchuan and Shang Luoluo mentioned more than once that Wei Hongbin built the back house of the government office like an iron barrel for his own safety. There were traps everywhere inside, and ordinary warriors would die if they went in.

Although Zhao Ya's strength was amazing, Shang Tiefeng still felt that it was too risky to do so.

"If we are late, something bad will happen. If we still cannot capture or kill Wei Hongbin by daybreak, then our operation will be considered a failure. And don't worry, Master Shang, I know what to do. After I go in, you will be in charge of the overall situation for the time being."

Without waiting for Shang Tiefeng's response, Zhao Ya flashed and bypassed the battle formation formed by these strong men in the army, and flew to the backyard from the side.

Jin Zhenming saw this scene and couldn't help but retreat to Shang Tiefeng and whispered, "What did Xiao Ya do?"

"He said he was going to the backyard to explore the way."

"Stupid, how could you let him take this risk?" Jin Zhenming said in shock.

Shang Tiefeng glanced at Jin Zhenming, "It seems that if I don't let him go, he will listen to me."

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly find a way to defeat these battle formations, and rush into the backyard to support Xiao Ya is the main thing." Shang Tiefeng said.

The two of them joined the battle again.

While the fierce battle was going on in the government office, Nie Jingnian was also fighting a desperate battle with Yu Guizhi at the south gate.

Nie Jingnian's eyes were red, and his two swords were dancing like the wind, wishing to chop Yu Guizhi alive with one sword.

If she hadn't deceived him and opened the city gate, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

She was the culprit of everything.

Now that he has a chance to atone for his sins, you can imagine how desperate Nie Jingnian is.

In comparison, Yu Guizhi was a little absent-minded in the fight.

She had already learned about the death of her master Yuan Chenfeng, and at the same time, she also faintly heard the shouts of killing from the city, and her heart was in a mess.

Now that Yuan Chenfeng is dead, Chenfeng Martial Arts School is in name only. Without a backer, if Wei Hongbin is defeated again, then her fate can be imagined.

So Yu Guizhi had to think about her own way out.

In addition, Nie Jingnian's massive attack made Yu Guizhi even more eager to retreat.

At this moment, there was a loud bang on the tower, and then someone shouted, "Brother Nie, the tower has been taken!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Guizhi was even more frightened, and turned around and ran away regardless of whether the news was true or not.

But how could Nie Jingnian let her go?

Before he came, he swore a poisonous oath that he would chop off Yu Guizhi's head, otherwise he would never give up.

At this time, Yu Guizhi certainly did not dare to run into the city, so he turned around and jumped off the city wall and ran to the forest outside the city.

Nie Jingnian followed closely and jumped down from the city wall.

Then the two of them rushed into the forest one after the other.

Yu Guizhi was so depressed that she couldn't help but yell, "Nie Jingnian, you should be merciful. Now the South Gate is yours. Do you really have to kill them all?"

Nie Jingnian sneered, "Yes, I'm going to kill them all today."

As he said this, he intensified his hands and went straight to Yu Guizhi's vitals.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Yu Guizhi was also angry.

In terms of strength, she is better than Nie Jingnian. She was just absent-minded before. Now that she takes it seriously, Nie Jingnian immediately feels a strong pressure.

But Nie Jingnian doesn't care about these at all, and doesn't even care about Yu Guizhi's palm attack on him. He fights desperately with every move, and it's a completely dead-end fighting style.

This momentum successfully shocked Yu Guizhi.

Of course, she didn't want to die with Nie Jingnian, so she muttered a madman, and then turned around and ran into the mountains.

Just at this time, two old men walked out of the forest leisurely.

The two men were dressed in coarse cloth, wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and holding a big pipe in their hands. They looked exactly like old farmers.

Not only that, the two men looked exactly the same, except that one held the pipe in his left hand and the other in his right hand. When they stood together, it was as if there was a mirror between them.

It was conceivable that two old men suddenly walked out of the forest in the middle of the night.

But Yu Guizhi didn't care about that at this time.

The two old men just blocked her escape, so she ran and shouted.

"Get out!"

One of the old men grinned when he heard it.

"This kid from Yunxiao County, is he so rude?"

He said as he slowly raised the pipe in his hand, lifted the flint hanging on his waist, slowly lit it, and then smoked.

At this time, Yu Guizhi had already rushed forward. When he got close, Yu Guizhi suddenly discovered something. His pupils contracted instantly, and he swallowed back the dirty words that were on the tip of his tongue. Then he turned back and tried to bypass the two old men.

But it was too late. The old man who was smoking waved his hand casually, and the pipe in his hand hit Yu Guizhi's forehead at an incredible angle.

With a muffled sound, Yu Guizhi's head was smashed directly, and his brain burst and died.

Then the old man exhaled a puff of smoke leisurely and grinned at Nie Jingnian who was not far away.

"Wait, please ask, is the county town of Yunxiao County ahead?"
