Chapter 209: Confrontation
He killed the horses with a punch, turned to look at the frightened villagers and ordered: "Quickly arrange for the old people and children in the village to evacuate, pick ten good men to protect them, and the rest of the people are responsible for intercepting the army with me." ”
After hearing this, the villagers hurriedly went back to inform them, and the remaining few people asked them to go back and get tools and dig some small pits on the ground nearby, the purpose of which was naturally not to let the cavalry charge, otherwise the cavalry would be finished after one round.
A few minutes after Ping'an finished arranging, he saw a huge amount of smoke and dust floating in the distance, and then the villager in charge of delivering the message came back with people, and Ping'an turned his head to look at the dozen or so people behind him, frowning slightly. ”
More than a dozen people turned red when they were seen by Ping'an, and replied embarrassedly: "The others fled with the villagers, although we are also afraid of death, but we know that the people in the village have not gone far, we don't come to stop them, and none of the people in the village can escape." ”
"What you said is right, death is feared by everyone, but there are more important things in the world than life and death, you can choose to stay and you are already a hero, even if you die today, I Yang Ping'an will accompany you. After Ping'an finished speaking, he ordered the villagers to dig the pit, and the time was pressing, and everyone had to arrange it before the army came.
The more than 30 militiamen who escorted the villagers bowed their heads in shame and hurried away, they listened to Captain Yang's command in the distance, they really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, they were afraid, they were really afraid, if they didn't have a choice, they might rush up and fight hard, but with a choice, they would rather choose to live like dogs, even if they were humble and lying on the ground and eating.
The villagers who were escorted looked at these people with disdain in their eyes, they didn't expect these people to be so soft-boned, and when there was no enemy, they boasted that they couldn't compare with the top ten generals of the country, but when it came to the critical moment, their true nature was undoubtedly exposed.
Not only adults, but even children can see that they are cowards, especially the little girl who has chatted with Ping'an, looking at her brother with her head bowed next to her, and scolded: "You are a bad seed, I don't have your brother, you stay away from me, the farther away from me, the better." ”
With a crisp snap, the little girl covered her red and swollen cheeks, looked at her brother with contempt, turned around and ran forward, leaving her ashamed brother alone and standing there alone looking at his right hand, he asked himself in his heart if he had done something wrong, but no one could give an answer.
The excited audience outside looked at the villagers' performances and did not curse, and they all thought that if they encountered such a situation, would they be able to sacrifice their lives to protect everyone? I am afraid that the answer of most people must be no, they are like those villagers, they talk powerfully, but I am afraid that there are few who can really stand up in the face of life and death.
The one who can stand up to protect everyone is a hero, this is the last word of encouragement that Ping An left for them, he is not a saint, he just doesn't want the villagers to be bullied, that's all, if he doesn't meet the little girl, he doesn't see those simple villagers, he may be another choice, even if he is scolded by people outside, there will be no waves in his heart, this is him, a good person who is not a bad person, a bad person who is not a good person.
Ping'an knew that their side was too small to hold the outside of the village, so they could only stay in the village and fight with them in the streets, so that the army could not take advantage of the large number of people, and they could delay for more time.
Ping'an asked everyone to take out the kerosene stored at home and pour it on the house to prepare for the fire attack, and then let everyone choose a few high ground with long-handled sharp weapons to find a suitable place for ambush.
Ping An took a closer look, and found that the number of people who came was less than he imagined, the number was about two hundred, the person at the head was wearing a captain's uniform, and he saw that Xiu Wei was a master of the junior force king realm, and there were more than 30 power honors under him, more than 100 wrestlers, Ping An turned his head and looked at the dozen or so middle-level force realm villagers around him, thinking that the other party really looked up to himself.
But the people have already come, and it is useless to complain now, Ping An waved his hand, and all the villagers picked up their long-handled sharp weapons and faced the team outside the village, and the captain who led the army looked at the potholed ground at the entrance of the village, sneered, waved his hand to stop the team, and ordered everyone to dismount and enter the village with him.
From a distance, there seemed to be no one in the village, but from a few places suitable for ambushes, he still saw some clues, the captain knew that these people might be responsible for stopping him, but he didn't care, the army of their ancestral country came here, if they didn't even dare to enter a village, how could they conquer the whole country.
Ping An looked at the army that was getting closer and closer, swallowed his saliva nervously, although he knew in his heart that it was fake, he still couldn't help being nervous, looked at the army that entered the village, took a deep breath, and roared: "Kill!"
After speaking, he threw the spear in his hand, and the piercing sound sounded, and a captain behind the captain was directly penetrated by the spear and fell off the horse, the captain looked at the dead captain, frowned slightly, and was secretly shocked in his heart, could the other party be the king of war with such a great strength? No matter what kind of cultivation the other party is, the army has entered the village, even if the other party is the king of war, he will have to die.
Because of the throwing of sharp weapons, everyone's positions were all exposed, they just threw three rounds, and then ushered in the opponent's bow and crossbow counterattack, some dodged and were shot directly into hedgehogs, and when the opponent's first round of counterattack was completed, Ping An saw that there were only eight people left on their side.
In desperation, they had to let everyone give up the commanding heights, light a fire to burn the village up and delay time, Ping An used a good method, they took out the fire that had been prepared long ago, and lit the fire without much effort, and lit all the places that could be seen nearby, Ping An did even more, tied the incendiary to the spear, and kept throwing it towards the house that did not get up, and the army was dizzy by the slippery Ping An Eight, and when the reaction began to outflank, the whole village had already burned.
The eight people were completely separated because they lit their own fires, and Ping An had no choice but to guard the exit of the other side out of the village, and he had been consciously running in this direction while lighting the fire, so it was not very far from the exit, and he came to the exit after running for a long time.
Soon after arriving here, there were screams all around, and Ping An roughly counted, about six people were caught, and the remaining two seemed to be more than lucky, and sure enough, in less than two minutes, two screams came, and the villagers who came with them all died in the village.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, they didn't stop for long at all, once this group of people chased out of the village, they would definitely be able to catch up with those villagers in the distance, Ping An took a deep breath, took out a thick-backed woodcutter more than two meters long from behind, held the knife in his right hand, and shook the sky in his left hand, completely let go of the shackles, and waited for the enemy.
The combat strength of the army of the ancestral country is indeed terrifying, even if the safety is arranged so carefully, in the end, this team of more than 200 people did not die at all, but when the surrounding buildings burn down, it is impossible to say, the water and fire are ruthless, they don't want to fight around the flames.
The lieutenant would not joke with the lives of his subordinates, so after seeing Ping An standing there alone, with a wave of his hand, more than 200 people took out the light crossbow on their waists and pulled the trigger at Ping An ruthlessly.
Ping An roared angrily, and waved his firewood knife with one hand to block the crossbow arrows that came from him.
Ping'an battle sense of smell is very sensitive, when the opponent's crossbow arrows have just been shot out, they will avoid the area with the most dense attack, focusing on dealing with the crossbow arrows scattered around, for a while the sound of tinkling is endless, Ping'an retreats while blocking, after a round of crossbow arrow attacks, only one place is injured.
Seeing the black blood flowing from the wound, Ping An frowned slightly, took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it, the black blood at the wound turned red, Ping An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, hurriedly sealed the wound with force, and came to the village entrance again to look at the other party vigilantly.
The enemy did not wait for Ping An to stand firm, the second volley swarmed in, Ping An calmly dodged the dense area, blocked it with a firewood knife, and three rounds in a row, not only blocked the crossbow arrow attack, but also turned the exit into a place of crossbow arrows, and the soldiers had to pull out these crossbow arrows on the ground if they wanted to go over.
The captain looked at Ping'an, knowing that the long-range attack was of little use to him, looking at the growing flames nearby, he waved his hand impatiently, and the soldiers behind him put away their light crossbows and took out steel knives to line up and rush forward.
