Chapter 16: The Bitter Battle

With her shout, Lei Huo led his brothers and threw them into the crowd outside the gate one by one, holding black balls the size of a baby's fist.

"Thunder Fire Bomb! Retreat! The explosion sounded, and someone shouted outside the gate.

There are a few people who are begging for a living in the desert who don't know the power of this thunder bomb!

The panic caused by the thunder bomb easily disrupted the formation of everyone outside the village. When fleeing and dodging, no one can take care of anyone, and the owner of the Mahei village, who was still sitting on horseback majesticly, was not careful, and was overturned to the ground by the frightened horse.

If it weren't for the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man who followed him closely, grabbed him from the ground, and stayed away from the crowd with light skills, he was only afraid that he would have been trampled on at this time.

After more than a dozen explosions, the embarrassed owner of Mahei Village was furious, looked at the people around him, and shouted angrily, "Give it all to Lao Tzu!" If anyone captures Ruan Ning's girl alive, he will agree to whatever he wants! ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the coalition forces of Mahei Village and Weihu Village were inspired by this sentence to regroup their formation and continue to rush forward.

But before they could rush forward, more than a dozen thunderbolts fell from the sky, forcing them back.

The owner of Weihu Village, who was also full of embarrassment, squeezed to the side of the owner of Mahei Village, frowned and said, "This won't work, they have thunder bombs, and our people can't get close to the gate of Qingfeng Village at all." ”

The face of the master of Mahei Village sank, and he said angrily, "Retreat one after another, and let the archers attack from afar." I don't believe it, the thunder bombs in Qingfeng Village can't be used up! ”

After that, the combined forces of Mahei Village and Weihu Village immediately retreated nearly 100 meters, and nearly 100 archers, under the cover of others, drew their bows and strings, and constantly attacked the people of Qingfeng Village from a distance.

With the suppression of a steady stream of bows and arrows, the people carried by the thunder fire instantly had no room to wield.

Countless arrows struck from the bottom up from outside Qingfeng Village, like a dense rain of arrows, with boundless killing intent.

"Block!" Ruan Ning looked coldly at the arrows flying from outside the village, and shouted in a deep voice.

Nearly 100 shields were picked up, and on the high platform at the gate of Qingfeng Village, a defensive wall was built layer upon layer.

"Qiang ......"

The arrow struck the shield with a screeching sound.

However, the distance was too close and the attack was too strong, and the shield on the high platform of the walled gate could only block half of the arrows. Those unblocked arrows pierced the gap between the shields and stabbed many people in Qingfeng Village.

The smell of blood gradually dissipated, making the already fierce battle a little more unstoppable and tragic.

Looking at the Mahei Village Master and the Weihu Village Master who were gradually becoming proud, Ruan Ning pursed his lips and said in a dumb voice, "Longbow!" ”

The longbow was ordered, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Qingfeng Zhai Erlang who were good at bows and arrows immediately rushed up.

The stacked shields gradually cracked through a dozen cracks, and more than a dozen arrows with cold light stretched out from those gaps.

Draw the bow, tie the arrow, aim, loosen the string!

More than a dozen arrows flew into the archer camps of Mahei Village and Weihu Village from top to bottom with the momentum of breaking bamboo.

The archers of Qingfeng Village already occupied a high place, and there was a longbow with a hundred shots, and after a short time, they gradually suppressed the arrogance of the two villages outside the village.

For a while, Qingfeng Village and the Liangzhai coalition army were in a stalemate, and no one could help anyone. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and there was a faint wind and sand in the distance, the owner of Mahei Village and the owner of Weihu Village discussed, and then ordered to retreat to a mile away and set up camp.

Although they couldn't take Qingfeng Village for a while, they resolutely couldn't let the people of Qingfeng Village escape to seek support. Even if it is a siege, they will surround the people of Qingfeng Village to death.

Seeing that the Liangzhai coalition army had temporarily retreated, the people of Qingfeng Village, who had been tense for a whole day, breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. After arranging for people to be on duty near the Zhaimen, Ruan Ning took the rest of the people to count the casualties.

After a day of hard fighting, the two villages did not get any substantial benefits, but the casualties of Qingfeng Village were not much better.

Eighteen people died, more than 30 were seriously injured, and the minor injuries were too many to count for a while.

Looking at the casualties in Qingfeng Village, Ruan Ning's face sank little by little.

This is the first day! If it is such an offensive every day, Qingfeng Village is afraid that it will not last long.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Yu's servant, who was stained with some yellow sand, walked over from a distance.

"What's going on over there in Lone Eagle Village?" Waiting for someone to walk in, Ruan Ning immediately asked.

Zhang Yufu didn't sell the guanzi, and directly told the news he inquired about, "The big boss of Lone Eagle Village, Jin Buchang, somehow fell out with these two people outside, and he didn't mix with this matter, so he directly took people to the desert to rob the caravan in the past." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no need to separate the Lone Eagle Village, they can also easily get a few points.

Suddenly, Ruan Ning seemed to think of something, squinted at Zhang Yufu, and asked, "Qingfeng Village is tightly surrounded outside, where did you get the news from?" ”

Zhang Yufu smiled mysteriously and said, "This is the secret of the housekeeper, how can I tell you easily." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yufu refused to speak, Ruan Ning stopped asking questions and turned around to arrange today's casualties. Those who lost their lives were buried well, those who were seriously injured were sent to take care of them, and those who were lightly injured received medicine to take care of each other.

When night fell, the breeze village was brightly lit. From the few masters of Qingfeng Village to the old and weak women and children who seek refuge in the village, no one is sleepy.

As the night deepened, the faint smell of broth came, which made the bellies of the Qingfeng villagers, who had been tired all day, instantly protest.

was constantly swallowing saliva, and those who had been sheltered by Qingfeng Village in the past slowly walked towards the gate of the village with large and small bowls.

After taking the steaming mutton soup and nibbling on the roasted fragrant flatbread, the people in Qingfeng Village who were guarding the city tower instantly swept away their exhaustion and became energetic again.

After the food was delivered, those people were not in a hurry to leave, and they all looked around to see if there was anything they could help with.

An elderly woman, holding her teenage granddaughter, holding rags cut from old clothes, slowly bandaged the injured people in Qingfeng Village.

Uncle Yi, who sells mutton soup, pushes a large pot of steaming mutton and keeps moving. Whoever has an empty bowl, he adds a spoonful.

Xiaohu, who is less than the waist height of an adult, is running around in the crowd with several strings of sugar gourds that have been hidden for an unknown amount of time. Seeing the seriously injured person, he handed over the sugar gourd with his eyes shining, and said with a smile, "A-Niang said, eat something sweet, and the wound won't hurt." ”

……

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, the combined forces of Mahei Village and Weihu Village once again killed at the gate of Qingfeng Village. The people in Qingfeng Village, who had been eating and drinking well all night, were in good spirits, and they were full of spirit to compete with the coalition forces outside the village.

The battle raged for days, and the blood spread, until the evening, the two villages coalition forces have never been able to break through the gate of Qingfeng Village.

Looking at the Weihu Village owner who was scolding and retreating, the longbow standing on the high platform of the Qingfeng Village Gate, quietly raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

Aim, play the strings.

I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow with a chill went straight towards the door of the owner of Mahei Village.

The breath of death shrouded the surroundings, and the owner of Mahei Village forgot to dodge for a while. Seeing that the arrow was about to pierce his forehead, a long sword struck from the side, and slammed the arrow of the longbow away.

"Ugh."

A piercing sound sounded, and the arrow fell to the ground under the influence of sudden force.

"The big boss." Seeing this, everyone in Mahei Village stepped forward one after another and surrounded the owner of Mahei Village to prevent anyone from sneaking up again.

The owner of Mahei Village took a deep breath, and after calming down a beating heart, he looked at the young man in front of him, forced a smile, and said, "If it weren't for the Flying Blade brothers today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow." ”

"It's serious." The twenty-four-five-year-old young man put away the long sword in his hand and responded softly.

Seeing that the longbow with the bow and arrow in his hand was gradually put down on the door of Qingfeng Village, Flying Blade said in a deep voice, "It's a longbow, for the sake of safety, it's better for the big boss to step back." ”

After that, the flying blade stepped forward, looked at the people in Qingfeng Village on the high platform, and shouted, "I also said that all of you in Qingfeng Village are some heroes who stand up to the sky, but I didn't expect that they could also do things that hurt people with hidden arrows." The flying blade of Maheizhai is here, but someone dares to come to fight! ”

Seeing the flying blade coming forward to provoke the formation, the face of the owner of Mahei Village was gloomy.

"Big boss, I'll go and help Big Brother Flying Blade." Seeing the flying blade lone step forward, a few people from Mahei Village immediately stepped forward to ask for their lives.

The owner of Mahei Village squinted his eyes at the back of the flying blade, and said quietly, "No, the swordsmanship of the flying blade brothers is ranked first in the entire desert, but there is only a Qingfeng village, and no one can hurt him!" ”

In Qingfeng Village, Longbow looked at the flying blade shouting outside the gate of the village, his expression remained unchanged, but the bow and arrow in his hand were slowly raised.

Although the flying blade of Mahei Village is not very old, his swordsmanship should not be underestimated.

Just as he was aiming the arrow at the flying blade, Zhang Yufu on the side raised his hand to stop it, and said with interest in his eyes, "Wait a minute, let me meet him." ”

The arrows shot from the longbowman's hands were so powerful that ordinary people could hardly resist them. But this man drew a sword diagonally, and saw that the arrows of the longbow flew out. Seeing this scene with his own eyes, how could Zhang Yufu not be excited in his heart. What's more, he watched the battle from a high place, but found a funny thing.

"Be careful." Ruan Ning looked at the flying blade at the gate of the wall, and there was a little interest in his eyes, and when he heard Zhang Yufu say this, he was right now.

Then, I saw Zhang Yu's servant flying down from the high platform of Qingfeng Village, pulling out the silver spear behind his back with his backhand, and stabbing straight towards the flying blade.

Seeing that the silver spear in Zhang Yufu's hand did not have any fancy movements, and stabbed straight towards the door in front of him, the flying blade's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Good coming!" ”
