Chapter 64: Surprise Attack on the Water Bandit Stronghold
At night, twenty thieves in leather armor stood in two rows at the gate of the camp, and two wooden arrow towers appeared behind.
In the middle of the tower is a wooden gate, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe is holding a bowl and gulping wine.
Behind him were two men with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, and countless words of flattery came like a tide.
"Mr. is clever, there are only 200 old and weak women and children in Changhe Village, why worry about the small boss who can't break it"
"Presumably Nachanghe Village is already bleeding now."
"It's the most beautiful thing to hear about children, the elderly, and women, but it's a pity that I can't hear them with my own ears."
"We only sent thirty elites over, will it fail? You must know that there is also a militia in Changhe Village."
A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said inappropriately.
"Smack"
A crisp slap resounded through the stronghold camp, and the twenty water thieves standing outside the door looked at it in unison, a trace of murderous light flickering.
The reputation of the evil wave thief cannot be slandered, and how big a wave can be stirred up by just twenty or so young people.
Another man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks roared at the top of his throat.
"Blind, the evil wave and water thief are famous, how can you say such depressing words"
"Not to mention that with Mr.'s clever plan, even if Mr. is not standing here, they can slaughter Changhe Village"
"Put away your cautious personality and don't spoil everyone's interest"
Listening to this gushing roar, the scribe was greatly satisfied, but an angry look appeared on his face: "Stop arguing, just wait quietly"
"Wait until they're triumphant. Immediately transport all the gold to the water village by small boat, and do not delay the important business of the lord," said the scribe with a majestic face.
Hearing this, the twenty water thieves retracted their eyes at the same time, and looked at the night ahead one by one.
The torches burned in the night with a crisp sound.
The two men with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, just now they felt the breath of death in a trance.
The wind blew gently, bringing a biting chill.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and the hearts of the water thieves were overjoyed. I thought it was a companion full of treasures and beautiful women, and returned triumphantly.
A pair of greedy eyes, staring deadly ahead.
The firelight suddenly dimmed, and an ominous aura quietly emerged in my heart.
Woohoo......
Arrows rained down, and all five water thieves were attacked at the same time, and then fell in a pool of blood.
The two men with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks were shocked, and hurriedly pulled their necks and roared: "Enemy attack"
"Kill them," the scribe shouted ahead.
Fifteen water thieves pulled out their broadswords at their waists at the same time, and took a step to kill in the direction where the arrows were flying.
Three figures appeared under the firelight, and Jia Nian walked over with Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing.
The sound of heavy footsteps, as if stepping on their hearts, made them feel the breath of death.
There were no superfluous words, and both sides rushed forward with anger at the same time.
"Kill"
Broadswords and broadswords, broadswords and swords collided heavily.
Click......
A series of sounds came from behind Jia Nian and the others.
Without thinking, the scribe came up with a word, and said hoarsely: "Crossbow, there is a crossbowman behind it."
"Kill them quickly, quickly, you can't give them a chance to shoot," the scribe commanded in a hurried tone, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
Yu Guang looked at the men standing on the left and right, and yelled at them: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't kill them quickly"
"Kill?" The two men with sharp-beaked monkey gills did not react.
The scribe bit hard, and was about to continue, when a series of black dots flew in front of him again.
My heart instantly sank to the bottom, and the words on my lips were swallowed hard.
Woohoo......
Dense bolts flew towards the water thieves.
Perhaps because of the night, the results of this round of crossbow bolt shooting were not as big as the previous round of sneak attacks.
Two water thieves collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
A series of fire charms exploded on the bodies of the water thieves, and although the damage value was only -1, the moment of the explosion gave the crossbowmen the direction.
Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu, who were standing in the night, seized the time and commanded loudly: "Load crossbow arrows"
Click......
The crossbowmen quickly drew their crossbow arrows and loaded them.
"Guo Da Fat" Gu Enze shouted, with a hint of excitement and anxiety in his tone.
Guo Dapang understood the meaning, and with a move of the peachwood sword in his hand, countless fire talismans flew over.
Immediately after that, the fire talismans burst one after another, and Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze held their breath at the same time, staring at those water thieves.
"Shoot"
Woohoo......
The rain of arrows roared, and the four thieves fell in a pool of blood.
Looking at the water thieves who were killed and wounded, the scribe gritted his teeth fiercely and made the wisest choice.
"Withdraw," the scribe commanded aloud.
He didn't care to turn around and pack his things, and ran to the left with two men with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks.
Jia Nian and the others were besieged by nine water thieves, and they didn't have time to chase after them, so they could only watch them run into the night and disappear.
"Don't pursue, shoot all these water thieves first," Jia Nian ordered loudly without thinking.
The crossbowmen let go of the idea of going after them, and looked directly at the water thieves one by one.
The nine water thieves had no intention of fighting to the death and scattered in all directions.
Seeing that these water thieves wanted to escape, Jia Nian's heart sank: "Kill"
"Kill" Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing roared loudly, and their morale skyrocketed.
Woohoo......
A round of crossbow arrows flew in all directions, but only five corpses were left behind.
When he reloaded the crossbow in his hand, he saw that the remaining four water thieves had lost their traces.
"Stop the pursuit, occupy the arrow tower and sweep the camp," Jia Nian commanded loudly.
The situation at night was unclear, and it was most urgent to secure the results of the battle.
Thinking of this, he continued to command everyone: "Yanqing, Gaoming, you guard here, and the rest of the people will all go to the camp to search"
"No" everyone shouted in unison.
Jia Nian added: "Be fast, so that unpredictable things don't happen in the village"
"Big fat, let's go in first" Jia Nian didn't wait for a reply after speaking, and then took a step and ran inside.
Seeing Jia Nian's hurried appearance, Guo Dapang also realized the seriousness of the matter. Although those water thieves fled, there was no guarantee that they would not sneak attack the rear.
Once they go to Changhe Village, they are afraid that the consequences will be catastrophic.
Therefore, it is imperative to quickly collect the spoils of war and then immediately return to the village to garrison. After figuring out these things, Guo Dapang didn't say much, and opened his legs and quickly followed.
Twenty crossbowmen, led by Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze, were divided into two.
A team assisted Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing in guarding the gate and occupying the arrow tower in all directions.
The other team picked up the torches from the outside and rushed inside.
