Chapter 17 Outside the Village
After a short fierce battle, there are always some things that make people sigh, Li Ke looked at the wounded who were still wailing and the dead who could no longer mourn and sighed, after ten minutes of bloody battle, his companions had died three people, one was seriously injured, and many people were lightly injured, and the serious casualties diluted the joy of victory, and those defeated bandits had also been stopped by Ren Qi's horse team, obviously they were not dead!
The rapid fire in a few minutes not only made his arm sore, but also the glass fiber arrows he brought with him when he crossed were not many, and he didn't know if the enemy's next impact would be able to withstand them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lin Yihu obviously also noticed this, while helping the injured to bandage, he instructed the uninjured Zhuang Ke to help Li Ke collect the arrows that had been shot, fortunately, Li Ke did not shoot long, and most of the bandits who were hit by the arrows were around the carriage, and those Zhuang Ke also understood that if Li Ke's wonderful play had not scared off the bandits just now, I was afraid that there would be more casualties on their side, so they hurriedly helped Li Ke collect them.
The real battle was not long, only a short ten minutes, but in this short ten minutes, both sides suffered heavy casualties, Lin Yihu obviously overestimated the strength of the villagers, under such a favorable terrain, they still couldn't stop these rabble, if it weren't for Li Ke Shenyong, I'm afraid he would have been defeated, thinking of this, Lin Yihu looked at the bandits who fled into the distance, who knew that his face changed greatly at a glance!
Li Ke's brave performance frightened the bandits, they ran back desperately, so quickly the rout was obviously not expected by Ren Qi, he hurriedly called his cronies to stop the rout, after slashing and killing a few people in a row, finally stopped the rout, Ren Qi saw that the morale was declining, and knew that it would not work without blood, so he pulled over a young descendant who ran at the end and shouted: "This kid performed well just now, very brave, I saw it!" Reward! Rewards! Saying that, he took out a silver ingot of five taels from his bosom and threw it into his arms, the stupid boy just ran too slowly, and was squeezed behind by everyone, but he didn't expect that the fool had a stupid fortune, and he got such a big piece of silver, and the eyes of the bandits couldn't help but be a little red.
After seeing everyone's performance, Ren Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as you perform well, Ben Qukui will definitely be rewarded!" Then he pointed at Li Ke and the others and shouted: "There are not many of them anymore, as long as we rush again, they will definitely be finished!" This time, Ben Qukui personally went out, and if there is a retreat, he will not be forgiven, and this time it is a head of 5 taels of silver, and he will never break his promise......! After saying that, he jumped off his horse, drew the sword at his waist, beckoned his cronies, and drove the bandits to rush up again.
Lin Yihu saw that the bandits rushed up again so quickly, and knew that he couldn't stand what he said this time, so he hurriedly asked some of the villagers to support the wounded and carry the dead on their backs, and retreat first, and then let the others pour the cans of lamp oil brought from the city on the carriage, and then light them with the torches that had been prepared long ago. The fire burned quickly, blocking the road and even igniting the trees on the hillsides on both sides of the road.
Ren Qi saw everyone set fire to escape from a distance, and couldn't help scolding, when he got closer, he saw that the fire was too big, and he couldn't get over it anyway, so he had to let the bandits rest on the spot, waiting for the fire to be small and then find a way.
Li Ke followed everyone all the way, and after a while, he came to the pass that Lin Yihu said, only to see that the terrain on both sides of the pass was really more precipitous, and the third brother had already led people to cut down the trees and pile them in the middle of the road, leaving only a small opening for everyone to pass, and after everyone passed, it was strictly blocked. Li Ke understood that these roadblocks could not prevent Ren Qi from continuing to pursue, but they could delay the pursuit of those cavalry very well, and he couldn't help but admire Lin Yihu's foresight!
When everyone arrived here, they no longer stayed, and hurried to the living village. After walking for a while, I met the black girl who came to answer with someone.
It turned out that the black girl received a report from the dog baby, and hurriedly summoned the farmer in the village to come to support, and even those refugees heard that someone was going to rob them of their life-saving food, so they also joined in. Halfway through, I ran into Sheng Ping. When everyone saw so much food, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, so Sheng Ping asked Heiya to pick out a hundred and ten strong people to go to meet them, and then let the others carry the grain back to the village to prepare to meet the enemy.
Li Ke and others saw the rescuers of Shengjiazhai, and their hearts were settled, so they came slowly along the road, fortunately, this place was not far from Shengjiazhai, and soon everyone returned to the village.
Sheng Ping was overjoyed when she saw that everyone had returned safely, and hurriedly treated the injured and comforted the families of the deceased. Lin Yihu and Li Ke knew that Ren Qi would definitely not give up easily, so they asked the Zhuang guests to pack their weapons and prepare to meet the enemy.
Sure enough, not long after, Ren Qi chased after him with his men and horses.
That Ren Qi arrived at the outside of the Shengjia village to see, couldn't help but gasp, only to see that this cottage is located in a deep valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is steep, only the northeast terrain is slightly gentle, but there is a stream that is not too narrow to flow around the village, and along the stream has already built a wall, although the wall is only more than a zhang high, but with the people and horses they brought, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to attack rashly, so he had to let the bandits cut down trees and build ladders and wait for the arrival of the brigade.
Lin Yihu knew his mind when he saw that Ren Qi was not attacking, and he wanted to lead the villagers out of the village to attack, but he thought that these villagers were just farmers, and their combat effectiveness was really limited, so they would not be attacked by a counter-attack, so he had to give up.
Li Ke knew that a bloody battle was inevitable, and he didn't have many arrows left, because his American recurve hunting bow was longer than the average traditional bow, so the arrows in the cottage were not suitable, so he had to find a more convenient one from the wooden bows of the people in the cottage.
This is a self-made passionwood bow, the pound is not too high, but the stability is good, conducive to rapid fire, try to shoot a few arrows feel good, then to come over, the Zhuang Ke is also happy, even the bow and arrows together to Li Ke, Li Ke hurriedly counted about 60 more, think about it is enough.
At noon, everyone had just finished eating, but they saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and it was the bandit reinforcements who arrived. I saw twenty or thirty cavalry in front and five or six hundred infantry behind, and the black pressure surged over, forming a team with Ren Qi and others, and I was afraid that there were no less than a thousand people from a distance.
Lin Yihu saw that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, so he let all the villagers climb the wall to defend against the enemy, those villagers were originally just some farmers and tenants, where have they seen such a battle, they couldn't help but feel weak legs, Lin Yihu saw it and shook his head again and again, so he had to cheer up and said: "Don't be afraid, although there are many of them, but there is no armor, and there is no siege equipment, they can only climb and attack, and we are condescending, and there is no danger at all with the protection of the wall, as long as they are not chaotic, they can't get in at all!" Hearing his words, the villagers felt a little relieved, and reluctantly stood on the wall waiting for the attack.
Ren Qi was overjoyed when he saw his brigade coming, and hurriedly asked the bandits to line up, resist the wooden ladder, push out their housekeeping treasures, and prepare to attack.
Lin Yihu stood on the wall and saw the things pushed out by the bandits, and couldn't help but sit on the ground, screaming and ...... again and again!
