At this time, outside the main gate of Gaojiazhuang, two hundred heavily armed officers and soldiers in Tsing Yi, as well as nearly three hundred evil slave thugs dressed as household slaves, all armed with knives, guns, clubs and other weapons, rushed over with great momentum.

When they were still dozens of meters away from the main gate, suddenly, the captain who was riding a horse and led the way waved his hand violently, and suddenly, nearly 500 officers and soldiers all stopped rushing forward.

Nie Zheng and the others stood on top of the watchtower, and with the help of the faint light of the lantern, they clearly saw that the captain in a purple robe was arranging troops and deploying men and horses.

After visually measuring the distance, the captain's men and horses were at least sixty meters away from Gaojiazhuang.

Obviously, as a city defense general in Guangji County, Gao Wei has a very strong sense of prevention.

For the defensive measures in Gaojiazhuang, the high lieutenant knows better than anyone else, because, when the eldest brother Gao Batian built the manor, he personally selected the site to build those arrow tower watchtowers in the village.

The front and back yards of the whole Gaojiazhuang, plus the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, were built twelve arrow towers and six watchtowers, so condescending fortifications, coupled with the archers in each tower, like ordinary people and horses, it is difficult to attack in a short time.

This time he came back to seize the village in anger, although the eldest brother Gao Batian was so angry that the five Buddhas were born and one Buddha ascended to heaven by the unsightly thieves, but the high school lieutenant was not carried away by the anger.

Since the other party dared to rob the village, and after the robbery, he was bold and anti-guest, not only did not immediately flee with his belongings, but with the help of Gaojiazhuang's thick fortifications, he directly confronted his own city defense army.

It is surprising that this group of bandits dared to be so bold and rampant, and there was no one in their eyes!

Although he didn't understand what other intentions this group of bandits had, the high lieutenant still vaguely felt that something was wrong with this group of bandits, and although his men and horses had the advantage, he still had to be cautious.

Stopping all the men and horses forty steps away from Gaojiazhuang was carefully calculated by the high school lieutenant.

As the captain of the county town's city defense, he still knows a little more about the doorway between attack and defense than ordinary people.

The distance of forty paces is just the weakest distance of the opponent's bow and arrow, as long as your own camp disperses the men and horses and does a good job of shield protection, the bows and arrows of the bandits will not be able to pose a threat to their own men and horses. At the same time, at this distance, the opponent's centaurs are also within the range of their own archers.

In terms of the power of the bow and arrow, their Qingxuan bow, which is characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty military, is three points stronger than the earthen bow of the bandits on the opposite side, both in terms of range and strength.

Lieutenant Gao felt that as long as his men and horses were well deployed, it should not be long before he could break through the defenses that the bandits had put together improvisedly.

Thinking of this, the high lieutenant ordered loudly: "The shield soldiers press forward, and the archers are ready to ......"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were rapidly arranging their troops, Nie Zheng's face sank, and he immediately instructed Yang Feihu and the others: "The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are already arranging their troops, and it is estimated that they will attack us at any time. ”

"Yes, village master!"

After hearing the order, Yang Feihu hurriedly ordered someone to pass the order.

At this time, the three brothers of the Chen family also left the watchtower under Nie Zheng's order, found several hiding bunkers that were conducive to shooting, and ambushed them in the courtyard walls on both sides of the front door.

After making a series of arrangements for the battle, Nie Zheng raised his eyes again and looked ahead.

I saw that dozens of meters away in front of the gate, two hundred officers and soldiers quickly dispersed under the loud order of the senior lieutenant and divided into three teams.

First of all, the first team of about 60 officers and men, each of them picked up a solid wooden shield about three inches thick and three feet high, and rushed to the front of the team with great speed, lined up, and covered and protected all the men and horses behind.

Immediately afterwards, sixty more officers and men with bows and arrows bent their bows and arrows, and hid behind the shield soldiers, ready to fire at any time.

In the end, the remaining eighty officers and soldiers, each with long spears and short knives, were ready to press forward step by step under the cover of shield soldiers and archers, and advance layer by layer.

After deploying all the soldiers and horses, suddenly, all the 200 officers and soldiers stopped moving, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, the high school lieutenant in the purple robe, standing behind the soldiers and horses, raised his head towards Gaojiazhuang, dozens of meters away, and shouted: "You gang of thieves, what is the way to come from, in broad daylight, you dare to kill people and rob the village, so rampant, so lawless, it is really an unforgivable crime!" Now, the captain of this school will give you a cup of tea, lay down your arms and surrender, as long as you give up resistance, the captain of this school will definitely show you the commander and punish you lightly! ”

Hearing this, a group of heroes in the dark wind scoffed and ignored it.

Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that these words said by the senior lieutenant were obviously words to intimidate and lure the enemy, if they really gave up their weapons and surrendered, where would these officers and soldiers fall lightly, maybe they would be killed on the spot.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng smiled coldly and said: "The dog officers and soldiers opposite, you listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a good man in Heifeng Village, and he came to rob the village this time, just to take revenge!" Last time, Gao Batian's old thief harmed our brothers and robbed us of our food, and the old men came this time to teach the old thief a lesson, so that he knew that our Black Wind Village was not easy to provoke. ”

Hearing this, the senior lieutenant frowned, and immediately brewed a rhetoric, ready to say some more words to tempt the enemy, to see if he could deceive the other party to surrender without a fight, after all, once the fight really started, both sides would suffer heavy losses, which was indeed not a glorious achievement for him who was about to be promoted.

Just as Lieutenant Gao was about to open his mouth again to lure the enemy, suddenly, a roar of rage sounded behind him.

"What are you talking to that group of thieves who killed a thousand knives! Third brother, you quickly command the soldiers and horses to attack, and kill those bastards from the Black Wind Village without leaving a piece ......of armor behind."

After the roaring and scolding, Nie Zheng and the others, who were standing on the tower, clearly saw that Gao Batian, under the protection of more than a dozen purple-clothed warriors, came to the back of the high lieutenant in anger.

After seeing Gao Batian finally appear, Nie Zheng's face turned cold on the spot, and suddenly, his eyes locked on him with coldness.

I saw that this Gao Batian was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, wearing a buttoned jade hat, his body was tall and bloated, and his fat face was distorted and fierce, especially his cold and treacherous triangular eyes, which flashed with a vicious cold glow from time to time.

Looking at Nie Zheng standing on the tower, Gao Batian gritted his teeth and said: "You dog thieves, dare to spread wild on my Gao Batian's head, you are really impatient!" Don't go to inquire, this radius of hundreds of miles, that group of thieves saw Gaojiazhuang without a detour, the last time the Niutou Village that didn't open their eyes came to step on the point, and was cut off by Lao Tzu to show the public, you Heifeng Village is a fart. Tonight, if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you all, if you let one of you run away, my name will be written upside down! ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng looked coldly at Gao Batian, who was dozens of meters away, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Old thief Gao, why do you talk so much?" There's a kind, let the horses come! ”

Seeing that Nie Zheng was so rampant, Gao Batian was angry on the spot when the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, he couldn't bear it and yelled at the high school lieutenant: "Third brother, what are you still doing in a daze? Those black wind dog thieves have been rampant to such an extent, if they are not broken into thousands of pieces tonight, who will dare to put our Gao family in their eyes in the future, kill! Kill! Kill me! ”

"Yes, big brother!"

The high lieutenant slowly turned his body, looked at Nie Zheng on the watchtower in the distance with a pale face, pulled out his long sword suddenly, and shouted: "Attack!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

At the sound of an order, the two hundred officers and soldiers who had already set up their positions immediately stepped on neat steps, shouting and killing towards Gaojiazhuang, dozens of meters away.

Looking at the two hundred officers and soldiers, they approached the main gate with murderous spirit.

Suddenly, Nie Zheng's face sank, and he ordered loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

After receiving the order from the owner of the village, dozens of archers guarding all the towers raised their longbows and shot at the officers and soldiers who were rushing at the front.

Woohoo!!

For a while, the sound of the bow shook and the arrows flew like locusts, shooting and dancing all over the sky.

One arrow after another, like meteors, pierced the night sky, emitting bursts of strong wind-breaking sounds, and shot fiercely into the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Only the dull sound of "ding dong" collision was heard incessantly, and a large number of arrows were all blocked by the shields of the officers and men, and only a very few arrows shot through the gaps between the shield soldiers and the officers and soldiers hiding behind.

This round of archery did not pose an effective threat to the camp of the officers and men at all, but the officers and men steadily advanced forward more than ten meters with the help of the cover of the shield soldiers in the front row.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was already less than fifty meters.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was a little anxious, but he still took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his nervous emotions.

Nie Zheng knows very well that the more this kind of crisis is, as the big boss of everyone, the more he can't panic, otherwise, his own men and horses will easily lose their fighting spirit and lose their morale.

The three Chen brothers were still lying in ambush under the walls on both sides of the gate according to Nie Zheng's orders, and they were all waiting for the order of the owner of the village.

As long as the owner of the village sends a signal, the three of them will not hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot the enemy who rushes to the front.

At this time, the sound of the bow is heard again!

The mountain bandits guarding the watchtowers of the courtyard wall have begun the second round of archery.

Suddenly, at this moment, the lieutenant who was at the back of the team suddenly gave a loud order: "Release the arrows!" Speed up! ”

Suddenly, the sixty archers hiding behind the shield soldiers launched the first shot of the officers and soldiers towards the arrow tower watchtower in the courtyard wall.

Woohoo!!

In the midst of the flying arrows, two hundred officers and soldiers who formed an offensive formation, under the cover of the archers' shooting, instantly accelerated the pace of movement and approached the main gate with great speed.

In just a few breaths, the officers and soldiers narrowed the distance by more than ten meters.

Today, the distance between the two sides is less than 35 meters.
