Hearing the news, Liu Quzhi only felt dizzy.

"Brother Liu, who is this shooting to the sky?"

Zhu Cihong saw that the other party turned pale and asked with concern.

"He is the largest bandit of this generation, with more than 500 bandits under his command."

Liu Qubing tried to calm his mood and explained: "Some time ago, the sun fell and the sky was falling, and someone was sent to collect taxes, asking us to prepare 10,000 taels of silver and half of the grain in the village, otherwise we would wash Liujiazhuang in blood. ”

"How can it be!"

Zhu Cihong was furious and said, "These bandits are really rampant. ”

Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of the thieves and bandits. In Zhu Cihong's view, these people are locusts that do not produce anything, and they can grab and eat wherever they go.

"Is there enough people in the village to defend it?"

Since a vicious battle is inevitable, it is necessary to prepare to the extreme.

In Zhu Cihong's view, although the people of Liujiazhuang are not well-equipped, after all, there is a wall to defend, and there is still a great advantage.

"There are 330 men who can mobilize, and women can also help carry stones."

Liu Quzhi clenched his fists and said, "No matter what, I won't be restrained!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "Brother Liu, we also want to join the guard!" ”

Liu Quzhi was a little stunned for a while. He understands the other party's kindness, but these people are just a group of businessmen, and even if they have a heart, they are powerless.

Could it be that these businessmen usually practice some fist and foot kung fu?

Anyway, it's good to have one more person to guard the village, Liu Quzhi nodded and said, "In this case, Brother Zhu will kill the thief with us!" ”

Regarding this decision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhao Xin, the head of the East Palace Guard, naturally did not say anything. As a courtier, he only needs to obey. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to die now, he would not hesitate in the slightest.

What's more, these bandits are extremely vicious, if they break through the village, Liujiazhuang will inevitably be slaughtered, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be spared. In this case, relying on the walled wall has become the only option.

As Zhu Cihong expected, Liujiazhuang's mobilization power is still very strong. In less than a stick of incense, all the adult males in the village gathered on the wall, holding wooden spears of varying lengths and a rough round shield in their hands. A small number of people also carried a hunting bow.

Of course, there are still a lot of stones piled up on the wall, as well as boiling boiling water. Zhu Cihong guessed that they would use these thieves to kill them after a while.

The guards of the East Palace, under the leadership of Zhao Xin, surrounded Zhu Cihong in the center to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be harmed by the stray arrows.

Looking condescendingly from the wall, Zhu Cihong could clearly see the opponent's battle.

I saw dozens of horse bandits standing at the head of the row, and then there was a group of foot bandits. Seeing that the number of people is really around 500 people, it is no wonder that Liu Quzhi will behave like a great enemy just now.

However, Zhu Cihong found that the banner of this bandit was very chaotic, and the number of people was obviously put together temporarily, and it was difficult to say how effective it would be.

"If you enter your mother's hair, we Lao Tzu will give you a face, you don't want it, then don't blame our Lao Tzu for being ruthless. When you capture Zhuangzi, you will definitely kill all the men in your village, and the little lady will take her back to the cottage to play. ”

Suddenly, a reckless man in the center of the horseback scolded, and the foul language was endless.

Liu Qu said hatefully: "This is the shooting of the sky." ”

Zhu Cihong said in his heart that he would capture the thief and capture the king first, so he ordered Zhao Xin to take a bow and shoot this guy with an arrow first.

Zhao Xin immediately drew the full moon with a bow and wound the arrow.

He used not an ordinary step bow but a Kaiyuan strong bow, which was difficult for people with average arm strength to pull away. But Zhao Xin was born with divine power, and he was handy with this bow. But at the sound of a whoosh, the arrow shot through the air and shot straight towards the sky.

The feather arrows used by Zhao Xin were not ordinary carved arrows, but iron-armored arrows that could only be used by the Son of Heaven's personal guards and the guards of the East Palace.

This kind of arrow can not only shoot through cotton armor from a distance of 100 paces, but can even penetrate chain mail.

The shot collapsed at all, and the armor-piercing arrow hit his right shoulder, and the painful bandit leader immediately rolled off his horse.

"Zhao Zhuangshi is good at archery!"

Liu Quzhi exclaimed.

Shooting the sky was helped up by two little minions, and he only felt dizzy. He didn't dare to pull out the armor-piercing arrow now, so he asked someone to cut off the handle of the arrow, so that there would be no problem in a short time.

"Attack Lao Tzu, attack the village, and kill them all!"

Shot Collapse was completely enraged, he didn't want to delay too much and chop these damn guys into pulp right away.

Zhu Cihong was overjoyed when he saw this.

He said to Liu Quai: "The art of war has clouds, ten are to surround it, and five are to attack it." These bandits are only twice our number, and even dare to forcibly attack the village, which is a good opportunity to completely annihilate them. ”

Liu Quzhi nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

The Zhuang Ding of Liujiazhuang here was waiting for him, and the people who shot the sky were not idle.

They carried simple ladders to prepare for the attack on the village.

In siege warfare, if the siege is carried out, the besieging side will often have to pay a much greater price than the defending side. But in the eyes of the collapse of the sky, a mere village can't be compared with Jiancheng.

What's more, the ones who are charging ahead are all new bandits who have just joined the gang, and even if they die, they will not feel the slightest distress if they shoot the sky.

As long as the hundred old thieves in his hands are safe and sound, he has the capital to make a comeback at any time.

The first wave of bandits had already set up the ladder on the wall, and the minions began to climb with a ghostly scream. On the wall, the villagers of Liujiazhuang also began to throw down the stones that had been prepared. Before the bandits could react, their heads were broken by the rocks and they fell straight down the ladder. In just one wave, the Zhuang people who charged Liujiazhuang killed dozens of bandits.

This made Liu Qubing rejoice. It seems that this shooting is nothing more than that, as long as he holds on to the village, it is impossible for the bandits to rush up anyway. At the same time, Zhu Cihong's East Palace guards also bent their bows and arrows one after another, fighting side by side with the villagers of Liujiazhuang.

No matter from which point of view, the situation is very good for Liujiazhuang.

However, Zhu Cihong felt a little weird.

It stands to reason that the Shooting Collapse is the biggest bandit of this generation, and he will not be so stupid and desperate. Except for the ant siege, does he have no other tactics?

Just when Zhu Cihong was contemplating and pondering, Zhao Xin shouted that it was not good.

"The thief wants to break open the gate!"

Zhu Cihong looked in the direction pointed by Zhao Xin, and sure enough, he saw dozens of bandits rushing towards the gate of the village with a piece of bumper wood.

The striking wood had obviously just been cut down, and there were still a lot of branches on it, but this did not prevent it from becoming a big killer that threatened the gate of Liujiazhuang. Unlike the city gates, the walled gates have low defenses and are completely unable to withstand several hits from the wood.

"Come with me!"

Zhu Cihong ran down the wall without hesitation.
