Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fighting in the Village
After counting the soldiers, Qu Chang found that out of the two hundred soldiers, there were only more than one hundred and seventy left intact at the moment!
Before he even saw the shadow of the other party, he lost so many people, and if this continues, before he reaches Taoyuan Village, he will almost die.
In order to minimize casualties, Qu Chang had to adopt a loose formation, and the person in front of him and the person behind him had to maintain a certain safety distance to avoid causing harm to others if one person triggered the trap. I have to say that such an arrangement is really very dangerous for individuals, everyone may face danger from all directions, but Qu Chang has no other choice, at least there will be fewer people who die at one time.
After changing the formation, the rate of death of the rebels was greatly reduced, and sometimes they were even keenly aware of the officers and soldiers who were hiding in the bushes and throwing bamboo spears.
As Wang Hao predicted before, in order to pursue the lethal effect, there will really be some soldiers who will die in this situation, but in terms of battle loss ratio, Wang Hao and his defense system are enough to be proud.
Qu Chang and his soldiers, on a not very long official road, really experienced what it means to be difficult, many times it is not that they are not careful enough, but that some traps are really incredible.
Sometimes you are just happy to find a trap, but in the blink of an eye, you die in another trap on the side, and when you think that a trap has already been triggered in one place and it should be safe, it is impossible to prevent another trap from being triggered again in the same place.
Many of the traps are not fatal, at best they are maimed, but this psychological devastation is a source that Qu Chang and his men can barely bear.
After passing through the trap area, only a dozen of the 200 rebel soldiers were still fighting hard, and some were wounded and incapacitated, insisting on following the team, and more stayed on the road forever.
Qu Chang's face was so black at this time that he could squeeze out the ink, and he walked for more than ten meters in a row, without any traps to excite, he believed that the most dangerous area had passed.
But this is obviously good news for them, and no one dares to cheer, for fear that they will be excited and trigger some terrible trap, what is the grass and trees, they are!
In fact, from Wang Hao's point of view, he wished that all the rebels would stay in those traps, and the remaining troops of the other side were still nearly half more than his own.
Because the sparse spacing of buildings in the village is not suitable for continuing to arrange traps, the matter has come to this point, and what awaits Wang Hao is hand-to-hand combat.
Almost at the moment when the rebels came to the edge of the village, Wang Hao took Liao Hua, Huang Zheng, Zheng Jiang, Zhang Xin and others out of the village.
The two groups of people collided fiercely, one side was about to be frightened by the trap, and the other side was waiting for work, although Taoyuan Village was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but as soon as they fought, they fought with each other inextricably.
Of course, Huang Zheng played an important role in such a result, and it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to rely on their numbers to bother them, and the rebels had to rely on a small team of several officers to barely defeat them.
However, in this way, the other people have enough room to play, and for the rebels who lack effective command, the Taoyuan Village side can often create a local advantage in some small areas under the leadership of a few people.
In the fierce battle, people fell all the time, and even if Wang Hao was surrounded by someone to protect him, he would inevitably suffer a little minor injury in the battle.
However, there were too many people who were slightly injured, not to mention him, even Huang Zheng, in the enemy's key greeting, he inevitably encountered a sneak attack by a hidden arrow, but fortunately he reacted in time, the arrow only hit the left shoulder, if it was a little more off, a fierce general would die here.
Although Huang Zheng was very angry, but after being injured, his combat effectiveness would be greatly limited.
After a while, the intact people almost did not exist, and the battle to the present day, it was the will to fight, and whoever could hold on to the end would be able to win the final victory.
But no matter how you say it, Taoyuan Village is proud enough, after all, when the other party set out, there were two hundred people, and with only sixty or seventy people, fighting with two hundred well-trained regular troops, it was not a loss.
Watching his subordinates fall one by one, Wang Hao's heart was dripping blood.
No matter how many Zhang Xin's people die, he won't feel it, but Taoyuan Village's own soldiers are all treasures of Taoyuan Village, each of them is very precious, some of them are even familiar to him, but now some of them have fallen forever and never had a chance to stand up again, which makes Wang Hao not feel heartache!
The battle is not over, far from the time of heartache.
As the battle progressed, the crowd of people who were originally fighting in one place slowly dispersed, and small war groups spread all over Taoyuan Village, which was not very large.
Since Huang Zheng attracted most of the rebels' firepower, and the others had enough time to slowly serve the remaining rebels, the balance of victory gradually tilted in the direction of Taoyuan Village, as long as Wang Hao and others could solve the ordinary soldiers of the rebels, then the remaining few generals would become meat on the chopping block.
But at this moment, a familiar scream made Wang Hao slam a spirit!
"Isn't this Ping'er's voice? Why is she still here? Wang Hao's heart was in a mess, and a wound was added to his arm again, thanks to the people around him who made up for it in time, so he didn't suffer more damage, but at this time, Wang Hao couldn't take care of his own situation at all, Ni Ping'er's voice lingered in his heart, so that he couldn't calm down at all.
The sound came from the direction of the compound.
Wang Hao remembered very well that before the battle began, he had already sent someone to see Ni Ping'er leave, and he didn't know why she would stay in the village.
No matter why, he would never allow Ni Ping'er to be hurt under his nose!
Wang Hao, who was very anxious, threw his opponent to others and hurried towards the direction of the village compound.
In fact, Ni Ping'er was not threatened at this time, but when she just poked out a head and wanted to see how the battle was outside, a head spraying blood rolled in her direction.
A ten-year-old girl who had never seen such a terrifying scene immediately screamed.
Her cry not only attracted Wang Hao's attention, but also the attention of the rebels.
One of the rebel commanders saw Wang Hao hurrying towards the little girl, so he guessed that the little girl must be an important person, and immediately raised his hand and shot an arrow.
At this time, Wang Hao ran to Ni Ping'er's side, heard the sound of breaking the sky, and rushed over without thinking about it, blocking Ni Ping'er's side.
