039. Despair

Hearing the rapid sound of gongs and drums from the night watchman at the entrance of the village, all the people of the town, men, women, and children, all got up, hurriedly put on their armor, took their swords, forks, bows and arrows, and ran to their predetermined defensive positions.

Guo Wei had told them in advance that the enemy was likely to come to attack at dawn, and the people in the vicinity had also encountered several cases of them raiding in the middle of the night.

Their impromptu reaction is quite good for a group of ordinary people who have only been training for a long time.

Guo Yu and the three of them also took turns to keep vigil, in order to take care of the magpies, Guo Hua or Duguhuan were on duty before dawn.

At this time, it was Dugu Huan who was on duty.

He stood on the watchtower, looked at the past, there were dense torches in all directions, and there were more than 10,000 people looking at the formation.

The young and strong people in the town who can fight tough battles, plus foreign aid from nearby villages and towns, are less than 600 people.

These "green bands" came with so many people at once, this is to slaughter the village.

"Lord Dugu, what should I do?

"There are too many of them, my mother, if you come to the Buddha, come and bless us." ”

The people were frightened, the gap between the number of enemies and the enemy was too great, and there was no chance of victory.

"Don't be afraid, quick, tell everyone, don't be afraid, it's a mirage, it's a mirage. Dugu Huan was a little surprised that he would say this.

For the first time in my life, I lied to a group of innocent people.

I don't care about it so much, let's stabilize people first. It's a big deal that he and Guo Hua magnify their moves.

The town can always be saved, for fear of scaring the people.

"What? there's a mirage at night?" someone asked, as the crowd fell silent.

There are more chances of mirages in the desert than at sea. The people of the Western Regions are all too familiar with the mirage.

It's the first time I've heard of a mirage at night.

"It's similar to that, there will be night air at night, and the whole night sky will be like a mirror, not only what we see, but even the sound of our speech will be amplified, obviously it is only a few dozen people, it will sound, it will sound like hundreds of people, it will sound like hundreds of people, it will sound like thousands of people. ”

Dugu Huan secretly praised himself a few words, and for the first time in his life, he lied, and he was able to justify himself.

The people responded with a few words of disbelief, and Dugu Huan took advantage of the situation to change to the tone of the order, and asked them to quickly pass on the words, just say that those torches all over the mountains and fields are all illusions and mirages, don't be afraid.

An elder rushed over and heard their words, after all, he had experience and knew Duguhuan's intentions, and he also helped to speak, saying that it was an illusion.

In this way, everyone can settle down, and it is better than being scared to death before they have fought each other.

Five hundred paces away from the village, the greenbands stopped and formed a circle. After all, there was a "city wall" in front of them, and after the previous two failures, they did not dare to attack the people in the town.

In this way, the townspeople believed Duguhuan's words more, and at the same time, they also left enough time for the townspeople to form a defensive formation.

Dugu Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, the other party was jealous, he would not rush over all at once, and he finally had a chance to fight.

Dugu Huan, Guo Hua, and Magpie each guard a village entrance, and once the enemy attacks too fiercely, they can still press it.

Outside the entrance of the remaining village, a deep pit was dug, and more young and strong masters were arranged, which could also support it.

The first wave of the green headband charged at the mouth of the West Village, which Dugu Huan guarded.

About 200 people, launched a small charge.

There was a group of men and horses, leading a thick piece of striking wood with a rope.

A dozen horses plus the power of inertia are enough to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Shoot-horse-"

"Shoot-"

Before Dugu Huan could give the order, seven or eight archers had already shot arrows.

After all, it is not a regular army, seeing the enemy rushing over, cowardly and panicked, how can it achieve a salvo?

On the other side, someone was hit by an arrow, but he was not seriously injured, and the riders of the green headband still rushed over with the waist-thick bumper log.

The hunters were completely panicked, and none of the arrows they shot were accurate, and none of them hit.

"Lord Dugu, they're rushing over—"

"What should I do, Lord Dugu-sama-"

The "city gate" at the entrance of the village is only an inch thick board, and it is not a big problem to block people and arrows, but it is still too thin in front of the giant crashing log that rushes quickly.

"Don't panic—"

People were looking for prestige, but Dugu Huan had already flown out of the sky from the watchtower, rushing towards the enemy.

He was as fast as a startling bird, and before people could react to what was going on, the heads of the two horses running at the front had already flown out.

The two head horses fell and rolled, and the riders behind had no time to react, plus the ropes that supported the collision wood, the back horses hit the front horses and wore sugar gourds, and a team of green heads led people and horses, and they all collided together.

Some people were killed on the spot, and some of them were still alive, and they were also quickly killed by Dugu Huan.

Dugu Huan cut the rope that tied the collision wood twice, and transported the divine power of the Daomen, and one person carried the big wood and jumped back to the "city".

The people of the town cheered.

"Hitting wood" is really a military-level method, I didn't expect these green headbands to think of this method.

Dugu Huan sent three people to deliver a message, telling the other three people about the situation, and instructing them to quickly find a way to deal with the enemy's wood-pounding attack.

The green head led the first wave of attacks, and because of the failure of the "crashing" horse team, the whole line retreated.

Taking advantage of the enemy's opportunity to sum up the experience of defeat, Dugu Huan hurriedly asked people to use spears and hunting forks to tie them to two logs to make a simple horse-rejecting stake, which was divided into two front and back, and erected outside the "city gate".

The east is white, and the distance is full of green headbands.

The second wave of the charge, also more than 200 people, but this time it was archery and cavalry. More than 200 people hit the "city gate" and rushed through, shooting past and leaving.

The people simply hid behind the battlements and walls and fired as they pleased. The greenheads walked back and forth for two years, but not only did they not hurt the people of the town, but they were killed by the sharp arrows fired from the arrow stacks.

The second wave of the Green Bands' attack was soon declared a failure.

Amid the cheers and taunts of the people, more than 200 enemies returned to their squad in despair.

The morale of the people was great, and several captains organized people to pick up all the arrows on the ground and on the haystacks for their own use.

The hunters in the town know how to make simple arrows, but there are not many of them, and the quality of the arrows is uneven, and there is still a big gap between them and the arrows of the green bands.

Fortunately, in the first two battles, a large number of bows and arrows were captured by the enemy, so that this battle to defend the homeland was not too passive.

The other party didn't make a move, so he simply opened the city gate, and a group of people went out to pick up the arrows outside the city gate.

Dugu Huan constantly reminded and emphasized that when the enemy rushes over, he must fire a salvo in order to give full play to the maximum power of the bow and arrow.

Seeing that they seemed to understand or not, but still nodded courageously, Dugu Huan felt very relieved.

These guys are also people who have gone through three wars, and as long as they survive, they will be warriors and pillars to defend their homeland in the future.

"Lord Dugu, I think there are still a lot of them. ”

"Yes, it's like a green-headed fly, and the hillside is full of people. ”

"Lord Dugu, is this also a mirage?"

People were idle and thoughtful, and a group of people began to quarrel again.

"What's the matter, are you afraid?" Dugu Huan stood up and shouted.

A group of people were really stunned by the question. Say not afraid, that's fake, they have been bullied by green headbands in recent years.

Those Flame Truth Cultists were united, ruthless, and well-trained, and any one of the leaders could quickly assemble hundreds of people.

The people in the villages and tribes also resisted earlier, but they couldn't beat the people, and some of the villages resisted badly, and in the end they were slaughtered by the green heads, and the old men, men and boys were all killed, and only the women and girls were taken away as their slaves.

They planted fear in the hearts of every citizen and made them spiritually subjugated.

People were stunned for a long time, and suddenly a teenager shouted by the neck.

"Not afraid, we are not afraid of them, we are not afraid of them. ”

As soon as the young man shouted like this, everyone's emotions were aroused, and they raised their arms and shouted.

"Not afraid, not afraid, we are not afraid of them. ”

The crowd was excited, and Duguhuan also joined them and shouted loudly.

"Folks, there are many of them, and there are many more of them than us, but have they been repelled by us? ”

"Hahahaha. The people burst into laughter.

"They are more brutal and cunning than we are, but so what? Should we give in and give them our homeland, our land, our cattle and sheep for nothing? Should we just sit back and let them kill our fathers and brothers, let them plunder and enslave our mothers and sisters?"

"Can't-"

"Can't-"

"Never give in—"

"Never give in—"

"We will never give in, we are the bravest people of Datang, and what we have is the strength and courage to defend our homeland and our parents, brothers and sisters. ”

"Defend your homeland, protect your parents, brothers and sisters. ”

"Defend your homeland, protect your parents, brothers and sisters. ”

"Tang—" Dugu Huan raised his arms and shouted.

"Don—"

"Don—"

For a long time, the green bands had not taken any further action, but the encirclement and the arrogance of anger did not diminish at all.

They seem to be waiting for something. Still debating countermeasures?

Or waiting for new reinforcements?

These guys have eight thousand, if not ten thousand, but eight thousand, and they are already an absolute advantage in numbers and equipment. With so many people, it is shameless enough to attack a small town of only a few hundred people.

Still waiting for support?

It's really shameless to open the door to shameless, shameless to get home.

With himself and Guo Hua here, even if the other party has 8,000 children, they can fight a dozen, but if they are really calling more than 10,000 people, or even more, whether they can protect these people at that time, it is a matter of two words.

Duguhuan even felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have set the place of the battle here.

"Lord Dugu Huan, Lord Dugu, they are here again. ”

"Lord Dugu, there are also people over there. ”

"Lord Dugu, there are also people from the east. ”

The sentry on the watchtower shouted incoherently, and from his voice, Dugu Huan could feel the emotion of almost despair.
