C189 The Desperate Xiao Family Mansion (1/2)
If Xiao Letian had a hot air balloon, then he could see from the sky that the entire Tanggu area had a total of three chaotic circles.
Amongst the scattered fleeing people in the Tanggu City, constable head Zhou Xing brought a few dozen surviving officers and a few waiters who had gathered with Keeper Niu and the others to form a group of more than five hundred people who were running around the city like headless flies. They were searching for traces of Xiao Letian and Zhou Mingkui.
At this time, the Tanggu City was far from being as large as it was in the future. In a small town with tens of thousands of people, they could search for more than half of it in an hour. For the time being, they could not find any trace of Xiao Letian.
On the official road on the west side, five to six miles away from the Tanggu City District, Xiao Letian's new army and more than a thousand Green Battalion were tangled together.
The new army of less than two hundred relied on their sharp Gun s, their training and the strong fighting passion in their hearts to slowly retreat towards the west. Every time they charged at the Green Battalion, they would leave behind a floor full of corpses.
He turned his gaze towards the north, at the outskirts of the city, with Xiao Letian's house as the center. A group of crazy riders were shouting and throwing torches at the house, these cunning enemies knew that the Gun in the house were powerful, they only wanted to force the enemy out in this way, and it would be best if they could use their horses' hooves to crush their heads in the wilderness.
Gradually, the people in the Xiao family's inner chamber began to despair. When the maidservants entered the tunnel and came out from beneath the locust tree, they turned around and saw their home under the light of the fire.
”Why are you running? Slow down, carefully leave... ”F * ck your ancestors, don't alarm the team …” The guards' growls were useless, the maid s had already gone mad, they stepped on the snow and scattered towards the north.
As expected, when so many figures appeared on the snowy plains, the night assault cavalry finally discovered them. Look, someone has escaped! ”Dammit, it's a tunnel …”
The horse's hooves rolled forward, the steel knife flashed past maid's back and a long wound appeared. Hot blood spilled onto the snow and instantly melted it, the smell of the blood made the warhorse sneeze.
”A few more people, let's go into the tunnel!” The Death Soldiers and Cavalry soldiers jumped off their war horses and drilled into the tunnel with steel sabers in their hands. This was really something that Hu Niu spent a lot of money to make it special. The entire tunnel was constructed with green bricks and every five metres, there would be a mine lamp made by a foreigner. Furthermore, the air in the tunnel was very fresh, so there must be some sort of secret air vent.
Ten Death Soldiers led the way and quickly rushed forward. Not long later, they met three fat women, who were the cook s of the inner chamber.
”Ah …” The bandits have entered the tunnel. The three of them turned around and retreated. They didn't even run ten meters before they were cut down by the daggers and Death Soldiers that were chasing them.
”Damn, these three fat women have blocked the tunnel.” The Death Soldiers and Horsemen climbed over the corpses, their backs covered with dirt.
As the exit got closer and closer, the Death Soldier's face became even more sinister. He could already see the flickering flame light at the exit, and in the next moment, he would be able to charge into the Xiao family's core area, grab Xiao Letian's woman, and snatch away the countless of Gold Beads and Jade Treasures in the house.
”Hahaha, beauty, wait for this grandpa to enjoy it …” The Death Soldier let out a strange cry and was about to rush out on the slope, but at this moment, a round faced little beauty flashed in front of him, gritting her teeth.
”Let's go enjoy in the Underworld!” Colt, who was in the hands of the little beauty, shot out repeatedly while the Death Soldier who was in the lead was shot in the forehead and died on the spot at the exit.
”Splashing Fire Oil …” With Hu Niu's order, the beauties of the Grand View Garden threw the kerosene jars inside, some even poured the oil from the kitchen inside. After that, Hu Niu lit up a stick of the ocean fire and threw it into the whole tunnel, turning it into a sea of fire.
”AHH!” What a vicious woman … ”You're going to hell, sooner or later you're going to hell …” The struggling enemy in the flames twisted his body and cursed.
”Pui!” You bunch of beasts, go to hell and wait for Yama's judgement. You still want to find me for revenge? Those who are waiting for revenge will all be the Queue length Dragons, and they don't even look at whose woman I am. Killing you is like killing an animal, I will kill as many as I can … Pour oil on them and burn them to death! ”
Right now, Hu Niu didn't know that she had displayed her power in the Inner Palace tonight. Her eldest wife's imposing aura could not be any more, and from today onwards, no one would dare to challenge her position.
”Madam …” The tunnel is burning, are we trapped to death here? ” The youngest of them, Ling Ling, suddenly asked timidly. Hu Niu was startled, how could I forget about this, we don't even have a way out anymore.
Hu Niu never said that she wouldn't run, she just wanted the weakest and most undetermined person to retreat first. Wait until the enemies broke through the main entrance, then she would bring everyone out of the inner chamber. But now, why did this bunch of trash reveal the secret passage? In the end, they had cut off all escape routes.
”Sisters, I'm so sorry. It seems like we're really done for today …” ”Aside from miracles, no one else can save us …” Right at this moment, there was a sudden boom from the southern gate. Flames soared into the sky, followed by the sounds of countless guards going crazy.
