"Sir Ren, it's time to leave. There's an army coming from behind. It's the enemy."
As Ren Baqian walked on the street, endless shouts of killing could be heard in front of him. A guard suddenly ran to Ren Baqian's side, lifted him, and placed him on his mount.
There were 18 other guards around him.
There were supposed to be 20 of them, but Shi Hu was placed on leave by Ren Baqian and was still staying in Jiangbei.
"They are civilians. How dare they drag civilians out and kill them … Your parents and relatives are all in the city. If Xueyang City is breached, everyone will die. Even if you have to risk your life, you must kill all these barbarians! Even if you don't have any weapons, you must take a bite out of them! "
Behind Ren Baqian, shouts of anger or mixed with other emotions could be heard.
However, these words and the corpses as proof were quite effective in boosting morale.
Ren Baqian rummaged through his bag on his mount. There was a pistol, an AK, more than 100 bullets, a few grenades, and a few skunk bombs.
Unfortunately, his gun was in Gu City, and he didn't have enough bullets. Otherwise, he could have staged a one-versus-10,000 show.
Looking back, he could already see a tidal wave of soldiers surging in his direction. Ren Baqian picked up a skunk bomb, pulled off the safety, and threw it toward the rear.
"Oh no, it's poisonous!" The tidal wave of soldiers panicked.
"Don't be afraid. This isn't poison, it's just a little smelly!" someone immediately shouted from the houses on both sides. It seemed like they had seen this thing before.
However, the smell was really suffocating. It was as if a huge rock had been crushed on one's chest, making it hard to breathe and easy to pass out. The people at the front were pushed into the range of the skunk bombs from behind. They held their chests, vomited, and shed tears as they rushed forward.
When they finally ran out of the range and could take a breath of fresh air, they were greeted by another skunk bomb …
"Be careful, Sir." The guard waved his saber to deflect the hidden weapons that fell from the houses on both sides.
"Send six people up and kill the pursuers on the roof. Send one more person to speed up … Blargh … Send some more people to block the enemy … Blargh … "As Ren Baqian spoke, a pungent wind blew into his nose.
Although there were enemies blocking the way, logically speaking, their current speed of advancement was not considered slow. After all, the powerful aboriginals had a greater advantage at night. If one were to look down from the sky, the three armies would look like three gluttonous snakes that were constantly devouring Doudou in front of them.
However, the smell behind him was even faster.
"This thing is really a double-edged sword. It hurts both the user and the enemy … It's better to prepare more stun grenades and flash grenades next time," Ren Baqian couldn't help but think. But even so, the skunk bomb could be very useful sometimes, especially at this time, so he had no choice but to use it.
For example, right now, the pursuers behind them were crying and vomiting as they chased after them. They probably only had half of their forces left.
Ren Baqian tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his face. Even though it wasn't very useful, it was better than nothing.
"Cut this place off! Let the pillars fall toward the houses on both sides. " Just as Ren Baqian covered his face, his eyes suddenly lit up. He and the others had just passed by something that looked like a memorial archway. There were two thick wooden pillars on both sides, and a sign was attached to each of them.
"Pingxing Street" was what was written on the sign.
One of the guards leaped high and cut the sign in half. The other two guards cut down the pillars and pushed them up, causing them to fall toward the houses on both sides.
With a loud bang, the two pillars formed an X in the middle of the street.
Although the enemy could drill through, they had no choice but to slow down here.
"Stop and intercept them here." Ren Baqian stopped in his tracks while the rest of the guards stood behind the fallen pillars. In any case, as long as they could obstruct the enemy for a while, they could prevent the soldiers in front from being attacked from both sides.
Not long after everyone stopped, the enemy caught up with them. Their eyes were bloodshot and tears were streaming down their cheeks. Their bodies were also emitting a pungent stench, causing many of the guards to turn green.
"Kill!" Following the shouts of the soldiers, one by one, they drilled through the gaps around the X. There were only six or seven of them at a time. The well-prepared guards raised their swords, and blood immediately sprayed out.
Then, Ren Baqian threw another skunk bomb toward the center of the street, which was blocked by the soldiers.
This skunk bomb was really too wicked!
The enemy had already tightly packed the street, which was more than seven meters wide. The front was blocked, the back was also blocked by their own people, and there were buildings on both sides. The suffocating stench filled this section of the street, and the enemy could only cry and vomit as they squeezed forward.
When they finally squeezed to the front with great difficulty, they had already lost half of their strength. What greeted them were the steel swords of more than a dozen Earth Wheel level guards.
Many of them hacked at the two pillars in front of them, but ordinary people could only leave scratches on them with bone swords.
"Get lost, I'll do it." A burly man squeezed out of the crowd and lifted a pillar. The others followed suit and tried to move the two pillars away.
However, the pillars were stuck in the walls on both sides. When they tried their best to lift the pillars, they were greeted by several sword rays.
Ren Baqian looked up and saw figures moving quickly on the roofs of the houses on both sides.
Fortunately, those experts didn't take the usual route and were all on the roofs. That was why the street below was able to block the enemy for so long.
Following a series of dull footsteps, Ren Baqian looked back and saw an army of a few hundred people rushing over.
"Sir Ren!" They cupped their fists and greeted.
"I'll leave it to you. Stop them." Ren Baqian called for his guards to quickly withdraw, and the reinforcements immediately sent some people to block the enemy.
Ren Baqian jumped down from his mount, jumped onto a roof, and looked at both sides of the street. Sure enough, they were also blocked from behind. In the distance, he could see densely packed torches rushing in this direction.
If the entire city was a big piece of pie, then the aboriginal army was a steel knife that directly cut into it.
However, after the steel knife was pulled out, the pie behind the steel knife closed up again, leaving only a small gap.
Seeing Ren Baqian appear on the roof, a few people who looked like captains immediately jumped onto the roof.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Ren Baqian shot down the people who jumped onto the roof and threw two skunk bombs down. Seeing that many people were pointing their bows at him, he quickly jumped down.
"Let's go!" Ren Baqian jumped back onto his mount and called out to the guards.
By the time Ren Baqian and the guards reached the front, Qing Ping had already taken over the warlord's residence.
Ren Baqian strode into the residence and saw more than a dozen women lying in the hall. The blood on their bodies formed a small lake below their bodies.
Ren Baqian frowned and sized them up. He saw that the oldest of these women was about 40 years old, and the youngest was only a teenager.
The injuries on their bodies were sword wounds.
This wasn't done by the army! This thought immediately popped up in Ren Baqian's mind. The aboriginals mostly used knives and mainly chopped. As a result, the places that they passed through were all severed limbs. Some of the generals also used heavy weapons such as broadswords, hammers, and maces.
Since this wasn't done by the army, it must have been done by the aboriginals themselves.
According to the information he received, this was Xie Kun's residence. In that case, were these people killed by Xie Kun?
Looking at the appearance, age, and attire of these women, they were probably Xie Kun's wife and daughter. This person was vicious enough to not forget to kill his wife and daughter before escaping to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy.
