Chapter 9: A Blessing in Disguise
At the head of Feitian Village, two teams of people are facing each other.
The first team is the Feitian Village force led by Cao Lao and 4 middle-level generals, and the opposite team is the bandit force led by the bandit leader.
"Flying Village? Hmph, who gave such a brainless name. On the other side, those who know each other will hand over all the valuable things in your village, otherwise I will set foot in your village, uncle. The bandit leader shouted.
"Old Cao, there are many people on the other side, what should I do?" A military general asked quietly.
"Now that the lord is gone, it is up to us to protect the village. In this way, the four generals of you will stand in front and stop their leaders and some of them, and the remaining fourth-order soldiers will wait for them to rush over in the back and release their arrows, let the other party reduce their troops first, and call the 30 A-qualified soldiers and 20 B-qualified soldiers trained today to come together, and they must hold the last line of defense. Cao Lao said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
A military general went down to arrange the lineup, and Cao Lao had to drag the bandit leader during this time, and at the same time buy time for Lu Shuang's arrival.
"As a seven-foot man, you have the skills to repay the country, but you have started stealing chickens and dogs, and robbing houses and houses, aren't you ashamed?" Cao Lao asked.
As soon as Cao Lao's voice fell, a huge laugh broke out in the group of bandits on the opposite side, especially the bandit leader, who laughed so much that people turned their backs, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. The other bandits also laughed, but the young general next to the bandit leader was silent.
"Serve the country and repay the family? Shameful? I really laughed at my grandfather. ”
The bandit leader saw that the other party had fewer people and more people on his own, so he didn't rush over to rob, but wanted to play with the old man in front of him, "What you said, can you eat it as food?" ”
"Hmph, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty must not know the life of our lowly people, and those noble relatives and officials will only loot the people's ointment, eager to scrape away our meat, we work hard but can't even eat, why should we be loyal to them?" A bandit was indignant.
"Yes, we were all forced to be cornered to become bandits, the country doesn't want us anymore, why should we serve them?" The other bandits chimed in.
"In that case, why don't you join us in the Flying Village? Our Feitian Village is not a paradise, but at least everyone is self-reliant, they can have food and clothing, and they don't have to starve. No longer have to eat and stay overnight, and no longer have to worry about the pursuit of officers and soldiers, is this not a perfect strategy? Cao Lao persuaded.
"Inhuman? What great ability can a village built by a stranger have, Lao Tzu came to rob your grain and silver taels to give you enough face, don't give face and shame, I won't rob ordinary people. The arrogant leader continued, "What's more, a village built by strangers is a bunch of wrecks, even if I am the village head, I will dislike it." Whether you pay the valuable things or not, when we make a move, it will not be as simple as missing something, and there may be a few fewer lives. ”
Cao Lao has always wanted to delay more time, but seeing that the bandit leaders have given an ultimatum, and the other bandits have also shown their weapons to demonstrate, it is useless to talk about it, so he gave a look to the generals around him, and then said loudly: "Your Excellency said that there is no one in our Feitian Village, and this old man does not agree with it at all." If we win, you will withdraw from your army, lest you lose both; If we lose, we'll have to resign ourselves to fate. ”
"Interesting, which of you will come first, or will you go together?" The bandit leader took the iron knife from the squire.
"Let the last general come first." A mid-level peak military general with heads-up specialties said.
"Be careful." Humane.
The bandit leader found out that the other party was also a military general, so he put away his contempt, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the other party with an iron sword.
This general's force value has long exceeded 70 points, but Lu Shuang's absence cannot make him promoted to a senior or even special general. However, he was not very worried, after all, the bandit leader was only a middle-level general, and he was only lower than himself, and the only thing that suffered was in the weapon, and the iron knife still had a certain advantage over the iron spear.
As soon as the two came up, they fought inextricably, the bandit leader had the upper hand in weapons and experience, and the generals of Feitian Village had the advantage in force value and specialty, and the two fought for dozens of rounds. But the generals of Feitian Village are more psychologically superior, and the villagers' sense of dedication to the village is still quite high at the beginning of the game, and people can fight you to the death with the determination to die, while the bandit leader does not dare, he still wants to live a long time, and he wants to live a good life, and he does not dare to exchange his life for his life.
As time passed, the two gradually lacked physical strength, but it was obvious that the generals of Feitian Village fought harder, and the leader of the bandits had to retreat one after another.
After struggling to repel the opponent with a single sword, the bandit leader fled back to his camp like a gray wolf with his tail between his legs, but how could the people of Feitian Village let him escape so easily?
"Shoot the arrows!"
The one-on-one military commander pointed his spear upward, and then quickly pushed it to his side to avoid being shot by random arrows. Since the two sides are about a hundred meters apart, and the location of the heads-up is in the middle, so when the bandit leader escapes back to his side, it is conducive to the strafing of the soldiers of Feitian Village, whether he hits the other party's leader or not, in short, it is right to shoot over, and the range of the fourth-order soldiers' strafing is only about 100 meters, so the bandit side suffered a big loss.
Although this is just an ordinary wooden bow, it still has a certain lethality under strafing, and the bandit leader was shot in the arm and thigh by two arrows because of the excessive physical exertion in the process of heads-up, and his mobility was greatly reduced.
"Kill, kill me, kill all these bunnies." The bandit leader said angrily.
"Rush! Kill! ”
More than 200 bandits were dispatched, but they were undisciplined enough to crowd into a group and charge, giving Feitian Village a great opportunity.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Another wave of strafing shots directly into the crowded place, more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground with arrows, in pain, and some were trampled by their companions a few times. When some of the bandits saw their companions fall to the ground, they were terrified and did not dare to rush forward.
"Scatter it all for Lao Tzu, it's so dense that it won't be shot into a hedgehog!" The leader of the bandits shouted in the rear, "Whoever dares to retreat, Lao Tzu will be the first to pick his skin." ”
It's just this pause that gives Feitian Village another time to draw the bow and shangxuan, and although the two waves of strafing made less than 30 bandits ineffective, they also separated their lineup a little, and the striker was about to rush to the people behind and chose to enter the fear of casualties among his companions.
"Let's go!"
Except for the one-on-one general, who had too much physical exertion, the other 3 generals led the soldiers forward to charge. At the beginning, it was the first 30 A-qualified fourth-order peak soldiers who acted as archers, and now the two sides are ready to fight hand-to-hand, and they also put down their bows and arrows and pick up their weapons to charge with the generals, plus the 50 recruits who practiced today, the momentum of 83 people overshadowed the bandits.
The three generals who rushed to the front were like three sharp knives, stabbing into the opponent's vital point, and none of the fourth-order bandits who came into contact with them could last a few rounds, and more than a dozen people fell under the weapons of the three generals in a short period of time. And the soldiers of Feitian Village should not be underestimated, the 30 soldiers who rushed in front were all fourth-order soldiers with a weapon value of 50 points, wearing leather armor, and their single combat effectiveness was much stronger than the bandits who had been almost equal; As for the recruits, each of them is worth more than 30 points of force, although the villagers who have not yet changed can only exert half of their strength, but three to one can still last for a while, here is fortunate that the weapons that Lu Shuang harvested yesterday were not sold, so they can each have a weapon.
"The brothers are all rushing me, they are few of them, and they will soon be unable to beat us." The bandit leader encouraged the bandits and turned his head to the young general next to him and said, "Wang Yue, wait for you.... You..."
The bandit leader looked at the young general incredulously, and from Wang Yue's eyes, he saw a trace of fear, a trace of panic, and more hatred and determination, as well as crimson blood, spurting out of his neck.
The leader of the bandits, who had lost his life, fell limply to the ground, and Wang Yue gasped for breath, because this was the first time he had killed someone, and he was also his own enemy. After a while, Wang Yue took a breath and shouted towards the battlefield ahead: "Your leader has been killed by me, and if you want to kill and take revenge, you will come at me." ”
Wang Yue's voice was very loud, although it was a little far away, but many people still heard it. The bandits saw that their heads had fallen to the ground, and there was still a sword stuck in their bodies, obviously they couldn't die anymore, and they panicked after losing their backbone for a while.
"The bandit leader has been beheaded, and you still have to surrender with your weapons? Those who descend will not be killed! Several generals from Feitian Village shouted in unison.
"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! The rest of the people chimed in.
The bandits are a little overwhelmed, and if they continue to fight, they may win, but there are also many casualties, and even if they win without a leader, they will be leaderless, and there will even be infighting because of the distribution of benefits. Some of the "reds" around the bandit leader quickly reacted and made a decision - retreat first and then discuss and elect a leader, but before that, they had to kill the traitor to avenge the leader.
"Brothers, kill this traitor and avenge the leader!"
More than a dozen thieves took the lead in turning back and waving their knives and rushed towards Wang Yue, Wang Yue did not intend to escape after taking revenge, but closed his eyes and stood quietly in place, probably not thinking about escaping, so he accepted his fate.
"You're right, this shouldn't be a world of exploitation, but it shouldn't be a world of turmoil either." Lu Shuang's voice came from behind Wang Yue.
Wang Yue opened his eyes suddenly, and there were five more figures in front of him, blocking those thieves in front of him.
The person who came was Lu Shuang and others. It turned out that Lu Shuang and the others still rushed back at the critical moment, Wang He and Li Fei had already taken the remaining 3 middle-level generals to support, while Lu Shuang and Yu Wenchao and other 5 people watched the revenge of the young generals in the audience, and saw that more than a dozen bandits wanted to retreat, of course, they would not let go of the fish that slipped through the net, and the one-sided battle began.
A junior general can also fight several heavily armed sixth-order soldiers alone, while a sixth-order soldier can at least top seven or eight fourth-order soldiers, and the intermediate generals are much stronger than the seventh-order soldiers, but weaker than the eighth-order soldiers; When a fourth-order soldier encounters a junior general, he is killed in seconds, not to mention an intermediate general, which is why Feitian Village can withstand it for a while, 3 states are full and 1 intermediate general who is dissatisfied with the state causes too much lethality to the bandits. The dozen or so bandits who wanted to escape couldn't hold on for a moment when they encountered 3 middle-level generals, and they were directly beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, which was the result of Lu Shuang's order not to kill them.
The leader was dead, the stubborn resistance of Feitian Village, and the five generals who finally came to support became the last straw that crushed the camel, and most of the surviving bandits could not withstand the pressure of death, so they threw away their weapons and surrendered with their heads in their hands.
Seeing this situation, the boulder in Lu Shuang's heart finally landed, and soon received another good news: no one died in Feitian Village, and 17 people were slightly injured. Lu Shuang, who was in a good mood, ordered all the bandits who surrendered to be taken into custody, and the injured were taken to the hospital for treatment by the soldiers, but priority was given to the treatment of Feitian Village's own soldiers, fortunately, the hemostatic herbs bought in the market a few days ago were made into a lot of hemostatic drugs and primary Jincang medicines by senior doctors, as long as the injuries were not too serious, they could still be saved.
"Lord, this kid wants to join our Flying Village."
"Oh?"
Wang He walked over with Wang Yue, and Lu Shuang knew that it was the young general in front of him who killed the bandit leader, but he didn't know his name yet.
"System prompt: The homeless Wang Yue has decided to submit to you, do you accept it?"
"Accept."
It turned out to be Wang Yue, Lu Shuang said in her heart, "Wang Yue, can you tell me about you?" Or a reason to want to join us? ”
"Yes, my lord!" Wang Yue looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, only three or four years younger than Lu Shuang, but he still pays great attention to rank and identity in the late Eastern Han Dynasty set by the system.
"I was originally from Huai'an, and when I returned to my hometown during the festival, I encountered bandits, although my family was fine, but after they snatched the silver and grain, they saw that I grew stronger, so they kidnapped me and took me away, wanting me to join them and be their thugs. I definitely didn't want to, but I thought that my parents were still waiting for me to go back, so I had to compromise first and then find an opportunity, and then I followed them south, and came here for a few months. Although they often go out to rob homes, I can't help the abuse, and I didn't participate in it once, so I'm still a homeless person.
Today, Li Si (the leader of the bandits) went out to attack the village, he is a crazy man, in order to sacrifice all his men for himself, I took advantage of his weakest and most defenseless time to give him a knife, I don't want more innocent people to be harmed.
As for why I want to join, because the lord just saved my life, it can be regarded as a kind of reward. Also, I want to tell my family that I'm safe..."
"System prompt: Wang Yue wants to ask you to go to Huai'an to find his family. Requirements: Give the token to Wang Yue's family within three months. Task punishment: If his family cannot be found within three months, Wang Yue will leave on his own. Reward: Wang Yue's loyalty is increased to 100, and the allegiance of Wang Yue's family is obtained.
Do you want to accept this task? ”
Is it better to accept it or not? Lu Shuang listened to Wang Yue's story, and roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter, for this task, Lu Shuang felt that the first thing to do at present was how to get out of this valley, and if he couldn't get out, he couldn't sit in the teleportation array, and it would be almost three months by walking alone.
What if you don't? Lu Shuang felt that Wang Yue would still go, so he simply took on this task, with his years of experience in the game industry, he was really not afraid of this task, and the task that many people thought could not be done at the beginning was not completed by him in the end. If you don't have a little excitement in playing a game, you won't have a lot of fun.
"Accept!" Lu Shuang said silently in her heart.
Wang Yue became ecstatic after Lu Shuang accepted the task, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, lord!" ”
Lu Shuang secretly checked Wang Yue's attributes after Wang He took him down, and the second time he saw it, he almost put it on the ground.

SSS Qualification! Obediently, when did your shit luck be so good, and you actually picked up a treasure casually. But no, with the highest qualifications of SSS, shouldn't it be so easy to recruit? Could it be because of the special attributes of Feitian Village?
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Shuang immediately checked the bandits who surrendered today, and found that most of the more than 100 people were D and C qualifications, and only a very small number of B or A qualifications, but it was clear that the special attribute talent of the village was recruited and the qualifications of the displaced people were not lower than B qualifications?
