Chapter 13: Descending the Mountain
The cottage does not have enough grain in stock, and if it is not replenished in time, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive at the end of the month.
After thinking about it again, Su Yi decided to order the Ershi bandits to go down the mountain, the miscellaneous taxes of the Great Chu Dynasty were heavy, and the people were miserable.
Nowadays, there are gradually more rogues in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, in the past, it was rare to see a few rogues around the peach blossom village, and now look at it, one by one the rogues with green eyes are entrenched in the vicinity of the peach blossom village, and the three bandits who were sent out to inquire about the news a few days ago only came back, Su Yi was very suspicious, and the other two bandits were pulled into the woods by this group of rogue thieves who were entrenched in the woods and fell to ashes.
The Ershi bandits brought by Su Yi were the sword and shield soldiers under Scar and He Kui's archers, Liu Shisan was loyal to Liu Hong, and his force was not low, he stayed in the cottage, and Su Yi could also go down the mountain with confidence.
Seeing that Su Yi and his party were well-equipped, the gangsters retreated one after another, but Su Yi didn't intend to let them go, the mountain bandits in Taohuazhai had been training for so long, and they just used them to hone their actual combat experience.
The head knife in Su Yi's hand was pointed at, ten sword and shield soldiers held the shield in front, and ten archers held their bows and arrows in the back.
This group of rogues wandering all over the mountain, most of them are wrapped in a few rags, only a few are wearing dirty leather armor, although the number of people is more than Su Yi's side, but there is a lack of organized attack, when they see Su Yi and others rushing over, they will run away, on weekdays, these rogues like to fight each other, which will not expect them to unite in one.
There were also some brave rogues who turned back to fight back, but they were all smashed with a shield by Scar, who was the first to take the lead, and their heads were cut off with a single sword. The attacks of these rogues were also pitiful, and only one of the hapless sword and shield soldiers was hit in the knee by the rogues with a stone, and they limped with their shields to chase down the rogues.
The long-range shots of the archers under He Kui were not very high, but hiding behind the sword and shield soldiers and constantly pushing forward, shooting the Liukou at close range could still achieve great results.
A moment later, more than thirty corpses of the rogues were left around, and the rest all scattered and fled to the jungle in a hurry. Scar looked at the corpses all over the ground, and suddenly thought of the scene in front of him, which was somewhat similar to when the bandits in Peach Blossom Village encountered the bandits of Baihu Village.
Suddenly, a wolf howl came from not far away, and the bandits were extremely fierce and terrifying.
"Let's go over and have a look." Su Yi glanced at the frightened bandits, turned to Scar and said.
The scar artist is bold, and when he heard the words, he was not afraid, and patted the wooden shield in his hand and said: "Okay, but you have to touch it quietly, wolves are like a group of wolves, listening to this sound, it seems to be besieging some prey." β
A group of twenty people quietly touched over, and in the jungle in front of them, about six people were fighting with a group of wild wolves, and there were seven or eight corpses lying scattered not far away. Su Yi couldn't help frowning when he saw that these six people were all freshly dressed and angry, wearing light armor, and holding a big sword, these people were obviously not bandits or bandits in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, so what was the purpose of their coming here?
The leading wolf approached the six people unhurriedly with a dozen wolves, constantly using their roars to demolish the morale of the other party, and standing at the front was a girl in a strong suit, wearing a chain mail, a colorful belt around her thin waist, and three flying knives hanging on it.
She waved the long sword in her hand and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, everyone, as long as we work together to kill the first wolf, these more than ten wild wolves are not to be afraid at all." β
Scar, who was hiding not far away, sneered when she heard this, this girl was too naΓ―ve, is the head wolf who can be killed so easily still the head wolf? And the wolves did not continue to attack, but approached them unhurriedly, draining their physical strength.
"Miss, go away!" A young man standing beside her shouted, "We are here to top, you run!" After saying that, he took the lead in rushing towards the head wolf, and the wolves who had been waiting for the opportunity suddenly moved, and pounced on them with a brush.
"Idiot!" Seeing this, even Su Yi couldn't help but swear, he was already in a weak position, and he went up to give away people's heads, this kind of is a typical pig teammate.
"Little Tiger!" The young girl screamed, moved a pair of slender and lithe thighs, and rushed over.
"I'll go!" Su Yi angrily slapped the wooden shield in Scar's hand, which startled the other party.
Su Yi looked distressed and said, "See, this is a pig teammate!" Pig teammates meet pig commanders! What is Pig Command? is in a weak position and can't see the situation clearly, so he rashly attacked, and as a result, he fell into the trap of the enemy and affected his companions. β
Looking at Su Yi's matter-of-fact preaching, the bandits were stunned stupidly.
"What do you see? One by one. Su Yi was unhappy.
"That ......" Scar asked cautiously, "Brother Su, should we make a move now?" β
Su Yi glanced at the battlefield not far away, shook his head and said: "Now there are five people left, these people are not only well-equipped, all of them are vigorous and vigorous when they dance big swords, they are quite disciplined, obviously they have practiced some knife skills, although there are more than ten wild wolves, but these people are not without the strength of a battle, we rush over, it is easy to fall into the battle circle, advance and retreat." β
Scar had been in the border army, of course he could understand Su Yi's words, but He Kui was different, he was born in Orion, and hunting was a common thing for him, so he suddenly said at this moment: "The master of the big village, the master of the second village, we just need to let the brothers with shields rush in front, and I will take the brothers to shoot bows and arrows in the back, to ensure that none of these more than ten wolves can escape." β
"What about the five?" Su Yi shouted angrily: "When they are both defeated, it will not be too late for us to attack." β
He Kui retreated in a huff, but Scar kept an eye on the battle not far away.
"There are seven wolves left! Those few people can't hold it anymore, and while the wolves are attracted by them, we rush over now, Scar, are you sure you can kill that wolf? Su Yi asked.
Scar didn't care about Su Yi, turned to He Kui and shouted, "Akui! I'll cover you for rushing, and you shoot the wolf. β
As soon as he finished speaking, He Kui jumped out, and without saying a word, Scar directly held a shield to protect He Kui, and the two rushed straight towards the head wolf, He Kui took his bow and arrow and aimed at the head wolf. Whether this wolf pack can be successfully eliminated depends on whether this sneak attack can be successful.
"The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the archers are behind, rush forward." Su Yi hurriedly waved the big sword in his hand, and rushed forward with all the thieves.
With a "bang", He Kui shot an arrow into the neck of the head wolf.
"Ahh The head wolf roared, and the wolves stared angrily at Su Yi and the others who suddenly appeared, and pounced on He Kui. Scar smashed a wild wolf with a shield, and the wooden shield in his hand was shattered under the force of this blow, and he held the big knife in his hand, and stabbed the head wolf who fell to the ground and rolled, and the blood splashed instantly.
Ten sword and shield soldiers quickly moved forward, blocking in front of He Kui, and the rest of the archers drew their bows and shot arrows one after another, shooting these wild wolves at close range. The battle soon ended, and seven wolves, including the first wolf, were shot into a sieve.
With the exception of one of the sword and shield soldiers who had his neck bitten off, only a few bandits were slightly injured.
"Seven wolves ......" Su Yi looked at the corpse of the wild wolf on the ground, turned around and walked towards the long-legged girl, at this time there were only two people standing beside her, and there was one on the ground who was seriously injured, and it seemed that it would not last long.
The girl's pretty face was splattered with blood, and she looked a little hideous and terrifying. She has thin lips and starry eyes, a nose that looks small and cute, and a face that has both the three-dimensional beauty of Western women and the unique softness of Eastern women.
Seeing Su Yi walking towards her, the long-legged girl straightened her chest, and pretended to bow her hand to Su Yi arrogantly: "Thank you for the rescue, the little woman is from Chengjiazhuang......"
"Robbery!" Su Yi lazily listened to her nonsense, and with a finger of the sword, a group of bandits rushed up and surrounded her four people.
"What?" The long-legged girl didn't react for a moment.
