第九十四章 匕见

随着闯破天等人的到来，泥洼坡寨前的局势变得复杂了起来。
Zhao Huan led the Yayi of Qixia County to attack the Niwaduopo stronghold together with other bandits like Chuang Po Tian. In fact, he was waiting for an opportunity to catch Chuang Po Tian off guard.
However, both Chuang Potian and the yamen officers in Qixia County did not trust each other completely. When they attacked the Niwa Slope bandits together, they were also on guard against each other, afraid of being stabbed in the back.
赵桓自然不会真的拼命攻打泥洼坡寨，不过为了避免被闯破天看出端倪，栖霞县衙役负责的南面寨墙也是杀声震天，声势弄得一点也不比闯破天负责的北面寨墙小。
To eliminate the hidden danger of the Niwapo Fort, Chuang Potian and Tuotianwang have spared no effort and mobilized all their available resources to join forces with the government troops to wipe out the Niwapo Fort.
For bandits like Chuang Potian, the Mud Wallowing Slope stronghold naturally wouldn't be as polite as they were towards the officials of Qixia County. When Chuang Potian and his gang attacked the stronghold, the cannons on Mud Wallowing Slope fired in unison, and stones and logs rained down from the mountains, crushing and scattering the attacking bandits who cried and screamed.
“怎……怎么可能！泥洼坡寨怎么可能还有那么多火药和滚石擂木？”
看到前面众多攻寨的喽啰纷纷倒地，要么是被火炮轰杀，要么是死在滚石擂木之下，闯破天怒目圆睁：“栖霞县的衙役不是已经攻打了三天了吗？滚石擂木应该早就消耗光了啊，火药也不可能仍然那么充足！”
The reason why Chuangpotian chose to cooperate with the soldiers until now is also for this purpose: to let the soldiers be the cannon fodder, first consuming the gunpowder and the rolling stone and wooden beams of the Niyawan Stockade.
可是今日初战的情况却大大出乎了闯破天的意料。泥洼坡寨的火炮太猛了。一点也没有火药不继的样子。滚石擂木更是一波接着一波，不要钱一般地往山下不断扔着。
闯破天心中隐隐有了一种不好的预感，却一时想不明白这种预感到底是什么，不过他也知道不能再让手下的弟兄再这样继续攻打了。
“大哥，这不对劲啊，咱们不能再打了！”
托天王虽然眼光不如闯破天，但他也看出情形不对了，连忙对闯破天说道。
"Hmm. Let's bring all the brothers back!"
Broke into the sky agreed and immediately ordered the minions attacking the Mud Swamp Slope fortress to retreat from the mountain. At the same time, he sent someone over to question Zhao Huan why the fortress was still stocked with so many supplies!
“Heh heh, it seems that Chuang Potian is not foolish, he has already spotted the problem!”
Hearing the messenger sent by Chuang Potian question him, Zhao Huan just smiled faintly, and directly said to Ma Guowei beside him in front of the messenger.
"You, you guys..."
Upon hearing Zhao Huan's words, the messenger, who had come with great force, could no longer feign ignorance. His face immediately turned pale and he couldn't find any words to say, pointing at Zhao Huan and Ma Guowei.
"Chief Constable, it appears that Chuang Po Tian will not continue to attack the Niwawa Fort... it's our turn to take action!"
马国炜看也没有看那信使一眼。对赵桓建议道。
他们原本想让闯破天在泥洼坡寨下流更多的血，可看现在的情形，闯破天是不会上当了——既然如此，也该到了图穷匕见的时候了。
"Immediately send a signal to Zhao De and have them prepare for attack!"
Zhao Huan nodded in agreement and ordered someone to send a signal to Zhao De, who was stationed at the Mud Pit Fort.
Although the Second Battalion led by Zhao De was not as strong as the First Battalion, which was made up of former yamen runners, Zhao Huan did not want them to idle around, so he transferred them from the Black Tiger Fort to the Mud Pit Fort to act in concert with him."
赵桓身边的手下，听到命令后立即去给泥洼坡寨上的赵德发信号，而那名信使，自然有人将其俘虏，关押了起来。
在泥洼坡寨下的托天王和闯破天两人，正等着那去质问赵桓的信使返回，想看看赵桓怎么说——两人毕竟只是刚刚察觉异常，现在还想不到栖霞县的衙役到竟然会和泥洼坡寨合伙设计他们。
As they waited for the messenger's report, they suddenly noticed a disturbance to the south.
"Hmm? What's going on? Could it be..."
Both Chuang Potian and Tuotianwang's hearts skipped a beat - in order to prevent the yamen officials of Qixia County from stabbing them in the back, Chuang Potian had ordered over a hundred men to guard the south, and they hadn't withdrawn even when attacking Niwapo Stockade.
And now there is a situation in the south, implying that the yamen of Qixia County wants to harm them!
"Not good, prepare for immediate battle!"
Chuang Potian and Tuotian Wang immediately understood: the Mud Wallowing Slope Fort and the yamen of Qixia County had surely reached some sort of agreement, and all of this was a conspiracy against them!
两人手下的贼寇喽啰们得到命令后，也开始急忙向着南面栖霞县衙役攻来的方向迎了过去。
“大哥，小心泥洼坡寨上的贼寇！”
见到所有喽啰都向着南面迎了过去，托天王感觉不妙，急忙对闯破天提醒道。
“嗯？你是说……”
闯破天被刚才的惊变吓到了，只顾着去应对突然攻来的栖霞县衙役，现在经过托天王提醒，他才明白自己后面还有一个敌人——泥洼坡寨的人！
Upon hearing the words of the Heaven-Conquering King, Break Sky was taken aback and hurriedly tried to gather some people to prepare for a possible surprise attack from the mud pit stronghold behind them.
However, before the Heaven-Conquering King could issue any orders, the gates of the mud pit stronghold suddenly opened wide, and columns of soldiers in neat formation charged towards Break Sky and his companions.
Bursting Sky's face suddenly turned pale - now his henchmen have turned around to meet the county government's guards from Qixia County, and he is now with his back facing the direction of the mud pit stronghold. In this situation of being attacked from both sides, wouldn't they collapse at the first touch?
果然，和闯破天想的一样，泥洼坡寨众人的突然出现，打了闯破天麾下喽啰们一个措手不及！
这些贼寇喽啰的战斗力本就很差——别说对付栖霞县的那些老衙役了，就连训练不久的新衙役和收编的贼寇俘虏们战斗力也远远比他们强，现在腹背受敌的情况下，更是没有什么抵抗之力！
泥洼坡寨上下来的众人如同虎入羊群一般，将挡在他们面前的一众贼寇喽啰全部横扫，而同时从南面攻来的栖霞县的衙役也是势不可挡，双方迅速地向着中间的一众贼寇碾压了过去。(未完待续。。)
