Chapter 16: The Bandits Attack the Mountain

"Report! The king is not good! ”

Su Yi frowned, and said with some displeasure: "What's the matter?" To be honest, he doesn't like the title of king very much, but the cottage bandits have no culture, and it is difficult to change the title of king for a while.

The bandit soldier who gave the order showed a hint of fear and said: "The brothers who were out to inquire about the news have returned, saying that there are about hundreds of people who have gone into the mountains, and those brothers have not had time to retreat for a while, five died, and two escaped. ”

"What?" Scar, who had been drinking a little wine leisurely, put a slice of mutton in his mouth and chewed it, was also stunned.

"What's going on?" Su Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.

The location of Peach Blossom Village is remote, and the mountains near the cottage are steep, except for the rogue who wanders around, there are few bandits from other cottages, and Peach Blossom Village has not dealt with other cottages recently, at most, it is a small group of bandits who go out and bandits from other cottages have a small-scale conflict, but this situation is very common in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and generally everyone can't do it for this little thing and mobilize the people.

"You tell those two brothers to come over." Su Yi immediately decided, if these hundreds of people really came to Peach Blossom Village, they would really suffer a big loss if they didn't prepare in time.

About an hour later, Su Yi stood on the training ground with a cold face, while Scar and the others behind him were all pale.

It was determined that the person who came was really coming to Peach Blossom Village, but Su Yi was not worried.

Today's Peach Blossom Village is different from before, although it is not a big village, but it is also small in scale, and the bandits are all unruly and high-spirited. Moreover, in addition to the periphery, the fortifications of Taohuazhai are basically perfect.

At present, Da Chu is heavy on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there are many thieves in various places, and there are several bandits and bandits in Youzhou and Liaodong alone, not to mention the more complex environment of the vertical and horizontal mountains. There is an enemy who is coming, indicating that the development of Peach Blossom Village has attracted the attention of the surrounding bandits and grass bandits, this is an opportunity, as long as the enemy who comes to attack is disabled and afraid, then the prestige of Peach Blossom Village is really erected.

"Listen, everyone! Move the previously stored logs and stones to the castle tower, all the archers go up to the arrow tower, and the new brothers help them to carry all the bows and arrows in the treasury to the arrow tower, ready for war! ”

Su Yi glanced around at the bandits and shouted: "Now I don't have time to explain to you what happened, you just need to know that there is a large number of enemies who are preparing to enter our Peach Blossom Village, and they want to rob you of your money and food, even your women." Brothers, you say, 'What shall we do?' ”

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

The bandits were in high spirits, Su Yi nodded and said, "Whoever offends my Peach Blossom Village will be killed!" ”

Time is pressing, fortunately, Taohuazhai is the side defending the city, occupying a geographical advantage, and Taohuazhai is now strong and strong, Su Yi is not very worried about these hundreds of invading enemies.

Soon, the people came to the city wall and confronted the enemy halfway up the mountain.

It's just that before Su Yi and the others shouted, the ghost head knife in the hand of the leading thief pointed at the gate of Peach Blossom Village, and shouted: "Give it to Lao Tzu, kill all these small thieves who are not in the stream, damn, a group of thieves still dare to occupy such a good place." ”

Zhang Hongsheng, who was standing next to Su Yi, scolded with a smile: "This group of grass cowards is the real one who does not enter the stream, and they can't wait to rush up to send us to death without recruiting us in advance and hitting our morale, and it is really difficult to achieve great things." ”

Su Yi laughed, he saw the dust and smoke billowing down the mountain, and the crowd was surging, after several investigations, this group of enemies was about six or seven hundred people, which was almost the same as the number of bandits with combat ability in Taohua Village.

But their equipment and weapons are better than the bandits in Peach Blossom Village, and even the most elite bandits under Scar, Liu Shisan and others are at the same level, but they are all extremely fierce, and it can be seen that these people are all deadly bandits, if they fight in the field, even if Peach Blossom Village pours out, I am afraid they are not their opponents.

The mountain road below the peach blossom village is steep, and there are spiked wooden rejections, and it is not easy for the thieves below to attack it. It's just that the guy in the lead is a little big, thinking that Peach Blossom Village only dares to resist them with a high wall, as long as they rush to the city wall, this unpopular thief is not enough for them to cut down.

The team of the thieves attacking the city is clearly layered, and the gang of thieves is quite fierce, so they rush up against the rolling logs and stones.

Without the heavy weapons of siege, you dare to come and tease the beard of Peach Blossom Village? Su Yi raised his eyebrows and shouted: "He Kui listens to the order, take the archers under your command to shoot those thieves with flying ladders first!" In addition, the archers on the tower were instructed to light rockets and shoot the ladders that were besieging the city. ”

"Yes!" He Kui replied loudly.

Suddenly, the sound of killing in front of Taohuazhai shook the sky, the arrows were like locusts, and one after another flying ladders had not had time to erect the city wall, and they had already ignited a skyrocketing fire.

The leading thieves were obviously hot-tempered, cut down several deserters one after another, and shouted: "Take out all the flying ladders and start the ant siege!" ”

Scar, who had been silent, changed his face, the other party actually knew that the ants were attacking the city, obviously the origin was not small, and this thief army actually had siege weapons such as flying ladders, if it weren't for the fact that their number was a little smaller, I am afraid that Taohuazhai would suffer this time.

"Brother Su, I'm afraid that guy is not small." Scar pointed at the thief who was wielding a ghost-headed broadsword and said to Su Yi.

Su Yi squinted his eyes and nodded, turned to He Kui and shouted, "He Kui, are you sure to shoot that guy?" ”

He Kui measured the distance and said, "No, the distance is too far, and that guy is very cunning, just hiding behind the thieves, it is difficult to succeed." ”

At this time, the city walls of Taohuazhai were covered with the corpses of the thief army, like a deep pit full of ants.

Unexpectedly, the enemy was so fierce, Su Yi did not dare to take risks, and did not hesitate to use his housekeeping skills, and buckets of golden soup were carried up the city tower, and everyone didn't have time to pay attention to the foul smell, and poured it head-on on the thieves who were besieging the city.

For a while, the ghosts under the city cried wolf, and the thief army that was attached to the ant and besieged the city was like ants doused with boiling water, quickly rolling down.

The leading thieves also realized that the situation was not good at this time, and he never expected that this group of seemingly unpopular little thieves would actually have a weapon to defend the city like Jintang.

The siege of the thieves suffered heavy casualties, and their morale gradually declined, and they retreated one after another, even drawing their weapons and slashing at the Overseers with huge clubs in both hands.

The overseers were all strong, they were bare-chested, and they carried huge maces more than a person tall in their hands, these maces were similar in structure to two-handed swords, the handle used to hold them was not long, but the body of the rod was about 1.5 meters, and it was covered with giant thorns. The wolver's tooth was chained around their handles, and they looked unusually fierce.

However, even such a fierce warlord team was almost defeated by their own defeated army, and on the battlefield, it was often their own defeated army that was the most terrible, once they broke and fled, not only seriously affected their morale, but also broke up the formation behind them.

The current thief army is the best example, looking at the dead and alive companions who were burned by the golden soup, these thieves kept retreating.

Just kidding, such a high city wall, such a steep mountain road, the ladder was burned down before it could be hit. How can you still attack the city? What's more, there are a bunch of archers standing densely on the arrow tower, and the other party seems to have stored a lot of rolling wood and stones.

Blindly rushing up is just sending you to death in vain.

The thief army is gone!

Looking at the thieves who were messing up into a pot of porridge, Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Open the city and attack!" ”

Scar, who had been waiting for the battle, led the army to attack, and Liu Shisan, who was ambushed on the nearby mountain, saw the gate of Taohuazhai open, and his brother personally led people to rush and kill, and also took up his weapons and took his pikemen to outflank the back of the thief army.

The battlefield was a completely one-sided situation, and Liu Shisan's pikemen lined up in formation, holding spears in a row to guard the various mountain roads.

The pikemen in a well-formed formation were the most feared, they were so dense that even the cavalry could not easily break up once they were in battle.

Soon, the enemy who came to attack was almost completely annihilated, only a few missed hands were captured, the leading thief saw that the situation was not good, and quickly took his henchmen to climb down the path, and was easily captured by He Kui, who was born as a hunter, with the archers, but the thief was quite strong, and when he saw that he could not escape, he simply did not want to fight back He Kui and others, and he killed four people in a row, and finally under the attack of Liu 13 and He Kui, he was injured and captured.

And Liu Shisan's pikemen also suffered heavy losses, and the combat effectiveness of those overseers armed with huge sticks was outstanding, if it weren't for the fact that the number was too small, the spear array would probably be scattered by them.

"Damn." Liu Shisan, who has always had a bad temper, was angry, Peach Blossom Village has always been low-key, and he generally does not provoke enemies with such strong combat effectiveness, and he has not heard of such a strong bandit entrenched in the vicinity, so where did this group of madmen come from, could it be that they rushed all the way to attack Peach Blossom Village?

"Say! Why do you thieves attack my Peach Blossom Village? Scar kicked the leading thief over, and it seems that he is angry about the fact that the guy called Peach Blossom Village a group of small thieves.

"Humph!" The thief was also stiff, raised his proud chin, and tilted his head aside.
