Chapter 11: Bandits (Part II)
"Uncle Li, why is there such a big town, Xiangyong is still 200 people, I remember that when I came, Xiangyong was already 200, even if I can't afford it, but the town also has 1,500 young people, usually work, training in leisure time is also good, the surrounding mountain bandits are troubled, be prepared." Zhao Yi rode on his horse and asked Lao Li beside him.
Lao Li said with a wry smile: "It's not that there is no increase, it's not that there is no training, the township courage in our town has reached more than five hundred, and then it was taken away by the county lieutenant and became a government soldier, so it didn't increase anymore, it cost money and time, and as a result, someone else picked the fruit, so ......." ”
Scar, who is nearly forty years old, is excited today because he is about to take over this small town with a population of 3,000.
As long as you capture this place, you will have food, women, and money, and when the time comes, you will recruit some men and horses and subdue the guys around you one by one, and then you will ....... Old camp leader, poisonous scorpion, you wait, wait for Lao Tzu to take this place and then settle accounts with you two bastards.
Xinyan Town was originally a small town with only two or three hundred households and more than 1,000 people, but there were mountains on the north side of the town and a river on the south side, which was not conducive to the invasion of mountain bandits, and only the east and west sides were thoroughfares. The small town of more than 1,000 people in order to protect themselves is also under the organization of the squire, trained 200 people of the village brave, with the rampant bandits around, the villages within 50 miles are often looted, the villagers have no choice but to move, some of the rich are in the nearby county town, the poor are either to seek refuge with relatives, or to go to the nearby big town, Xinyan Town is one of them, Zhao Yi first came to more than 1,500 people, now it is above 3,000, these townspeople are outside the town to reclaim wasteland in order to survive.
There are more than 500 households in the town and more than 100 households outside the town. Originally, people outside the town also lived in the town, but when they saw that there were no mountain bandits harassing here, and the outside of the town was close to the wasteland they had cultivated, they settled outside. It's a pity that most of these people died under the knife of these more than 300 mountain bandits in the first place.
As the number of people increased, Xinyan Town built a three-meter-high earthen wall around it, leaving gates on the east and west sides, and it was usually guarded by Xiangyong, but now seven or eight Xiangyong have fallen in a pool of blood.
"Brothers, kill all those who resist, take down here, there is money and women, and people and brothers take it." Old Scar shouted wildly as he held up the broadsword.
The three hundred mountain bandits on horseback all brandished long knives and shouted, echoing the leader.
The townspeople's townsmen and some of the young men were organized and were in the middle of the town's streets, holding weapons in their hands to meet the mountain bandits who were rushing over on fast horses. Many of the villagers and young men trembled, and they contended with flesh and blood against the galloping horses, which not anyone could do, although they had a huge shield made of hardwood in their hands.
"Everyone, the bandits are coming, don't take chances, I think many people here are from other villages, know the usual behavior of the bandits, think about your parents, wives and children, think about your relatives and friends, they are only three hundred, we have seven or eight hundred people here, we will definitely beat them out." Zhou Li, the town's lieutenant governor, roared loudly.
"Stand shield, pikeman raise gun, ready!" The leader of the village gave a loud order.
"Boom!"
Twenty wooden shields cut the main road in half. Twenty tall and sturdy men carried the back of the shield on their shoulders, and in the upper part of the shield, a spear passed through it, standing in a triangle with the shield.
"Boom, boom!" The sound of galloping horses greeted him, and in front of Xiang Yong appeared a group of knights in disheveled clothes, riding on horses and wielding blood-stained knives.
"Even these broken shields want to stop me! Decelerate! Little straights, break them. Old Scar glanced disdainfully at the shield wall on the street and ordered.
In between, four knights galloped out of the procession, in pairs and twos, pulling iron chains and ropes in their hands, and in the middle of the ropes was a large iron ball with a radius of a foot, and the iron ball also highlighted long sharp thorns. The iron ball rubbed sparks on the ground under the pull of the two knights. Seeing these two iron balls, many people in the Xiangyong team changed their faces greatly.
"One-two, hit!"
"One-two, hit!"
The four mountain bandit knights shouted at the same time, and the two iron balls were instantly pulled up by the four tall mountain bandits and flew straight towards the shield wall.
"Bump! Touch! With two loud bangs, two gaps appeared in the long shield wall, and several villagers behind the giant shield were hit, with blood spraying from their mouths, and they couldn't see that they were alive. Immediately, the shield wall was in chaos, and many untrained young men panicked, even the trained Xiangyong was also frightened, this thing was only used by the army, but I didn't expect that there was also this among the mountain bandits.
"Speed up, kill in!" The old Scar, who originally wanted to continue to hit hard a few times, saw that the shield wall was in chaos, and immediately seized the opportunity to rush over.
"Poof! Burst! The four of them rushed in along the gap that was smashed open, and the long knives in their hands were like chopping wood, killing the four young men in a daze one after another, knowing that the nearby townsmen were blocking their way forward.
"Bump!"
Due to the panic of the people behind the wooden shield, except for a few mountain bandits' horses that were stabbed to death, the rest of the mountain bandits quickly rode into the ranks of the village warriors.
"Kill! Folks, for the sake of their relatives, fight with these mountain bandits! Someone shouted loudly.
"It's up to you! Kill them all, and the women here will play with you. Old Scar swung his knife and slashed the spear that was stabbing at him, and slashed at the opponent's forehead, knocking the opponent to the ground.
The team of mountain bandits and the Xiangyong side are mixed together, and it is difficult to play a role in raising troops, but even so, the mountain bandit side is also greatly better than the Xiangyong side, more than 330 mountain bandits are all battle-hardened, and they don't know how to kill too many murderous bandits, they kill people like mowing grass, and the Xiangyong side, except for a very few people who have killed people, the rest are untrained young and strong, how can they fight these murderous bandits, if they don't have families here, I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago.
"Puff puff!" Blood stumps were splashing, people were falling, the trained villagers were gradually decreasing, and the courage of the young and strong people was getting weaker and weaker, and many people were still vomiting.
"Brothers, work hard, they are about to break up, and the women of the town are still waiting for you, kill them all!" Old Scar flew the other party's head with a knife and shouted loudly, looking at the frightened expression on the other party's flying head, the old Scar couldn't help but feel comfortable.
Wu Han, the leader of the Xiangyong, bit his lip tightly, blood oozed out, but he didn't care, the brothers he brought up with one hand have now died more than 150 people, and the remaining 50 people are also injured, and Qingzhuang has also killed and injured more than 200 people, but the mountain bandits only have more than 40 injuries, although most of them are dead, but it is these people who are still attacking on the verge of death have brought fear to their subordinates, making their side almost collapse.
Zhao Xian's eleven people quickly entered the town, and the mountain bandits also left four sentries at the gate of the town, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when they saw that there were only more than ten knights, they didn't care, and thought about snatching the other party's horse. However, before the other party could approach, the knight at the head took up his big bow and drew four arrows from the side of the horse in a row, shooting them one after another.
"Plop!" Almost at the same time, four sharp arrows went into the throats of the four men, and the four opened their mouths wide but tried to say something but did not say it, and finally fell to the ground.
Zhao Yi and his entourage didn't look at the four of them, and rode into the town, and the shouts of killing in the distance gradually came. Bypassing the corner, Zhao Xi and the others saw that on the right road of several hundred meters, hundreds of people were slashing and killing each other, and the township Yong, who had a large number, was in a disadvantageous position.
"Up!" Zhao Xi rode away, and the other ten people followed, hung the spear on the winning hook ring of the carriage, took out the longbow on his back, and galloped away thinking about the front.
"Chirp ......" A series of sounds came out, and more than ten of the mountain bandits were about to fall off their horses, and before the rest of the mountain bandits could turn around, there was another rain of arrows.
After running to the mountain bandits for more than ten meters, Zhao Xian's eleven people put away their longbows, picked up their spears, and stabbed towards the target. In just a distance of more than 100 steps, Zhao Xi shot five arrows, the rest of the brothers shot three arrows, and as for Lao Li, he shot seven arrows, although some of the arrows were shot at the same person, but they also won the effect of more than 30 people.
"Damn, they have archers." Old Scar also discovered the attack behind him at this moment, but when he saw that there were only more than ten people, he shouted angrily: "Brothers, kill a few of them and avenge the dead brothers!" ”
Although Zhao Yi seems to be calm at the moment, he has long been full of anger, in the past four years, he has been thinking about avenging his father all the time, which is also the reason why he has practiced martial arts, and now he sees that the place where he has stayed for more than four years has been attacked by mountain bandits, although he has not looted every household, but the dead corpses all over the ground also made him clench his teeth.
"Kill!" When a mountain bandit saw that Zhao Xi was young, he swung his knife and slashed at him.
"Bump" a black light crossed, and the head of the mountain bandit was smashed like a messy watermelon, and the brains were suddenly splashed in all directions.
"Hmm!" The people around, whether it was a mountain bandit or a village warrior, all felt their stomachs churning.
Zhao Yi ignored the frightened expressions of the people around him, rode forward, and came to the back of another mountain bandit, this mountain bandit had previously killed four young people, and the three young people around him could also resist her attack, but death came.
"Bump"
In the stunned gaze of the three people, the mountain bandit who was originally riding on the horse and arrogant flew out and crashed into the body of another mountain bandit not far away, and the two of them rolled down and never got up again.
"All the townspeople, young and strong, a few people together, attack on all sides, spears and spears, protect themselves." After Zhao Yi shouted, he ran towards the place where there were many bandits. Several people who were rescued by Zhao Yi turned together to help others attack the mountain bandits.
At the same time as Zhao Yi attacked, the rest of the brothers and Lao Li were also unequivocal, they all waved their guns and stepped up, and suddenly danced with silver glue and danced, and one by one the mountain bandits fell off their horses, but none of them danced well with Lao Li's marksmanship, and a silver dragon flew between them, and the mountain bandits fell off their horses one after another, all of them were stabbed in the neck.
However, to say that the one who left the deepest impression on everyone was Zhao Di, almost all of the mountain bandits he killed had their heads broken or their bodies pierced.
"Flutter!"
Zhao Xi stabbed a shot into the eyes of the vicious-looking and tall mountain bandit in front of him, and before this person could scream, Zhao Xi's spear shook slightly, and this person's heavenly spirit cover was lifted away. Then, with a whistling sound, the brain-stained spear smashed into the waist of the mountain bandit who was already stunned.
"Bump!" After this person flew off the horse, he was stabbed to death by the four people who followed Zhao Xi's horse, these four people were saved by Zhao Xian when he killed a mountain bandit just now, and after a little adaptation, he decided to follow Zhao Xian, Zhao Xian saw that these four people could adapt so quickly, so he knocked the mountain bandits off the horse from time to time and let them stab them to death.
