Chapter 21: The Leopard-Eyed Man
"It's coming!" Carpenter Zhang leaned against the edge of the wall, and moved slightly towards Lin Jie's side before he suppressed his voice, and there was still a feeling of horror in his tone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dozens of bright palm oil torches stopped a hundred meters outside the entrance of Xiaoye Village, where Lin Jie and the others could smell the pungent smell of palm oil burning in their noses.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The neighing sound of the war horses continued to come from afar with the night wind, Lin Jie's eyes narrowed slightly, these thieves obviously didn't take Xiaoye Village in their eyes.
Lin Jie was too short, with a high table at his feet, and his body was lying on the wall, only a pair of bright eyes leaked out. He put his left hand behind his back and gently waved it from side to side twice.
"Squeak!" started from Carpenter Zhang next to him, and the continuous cricket cries came one after another, and sound was the best way to transmit signals in the dark night.
The cricket cries were a signal of agreement, and the people on Lin Jie's side were nervous, they knew that the battle was about to begin.
Lin Jie held the thunderbolt gun tightly with both hands, and his eyes were fixed on the torches without blinking, seeing that the number of torches was far more than they had estimated.
Blacksmith Hu was also not far from Lin Jie, turned his head sideways and said in a suppressed voice: "Xiaojie, the number of thieves seems to be more than we estimated?"
Lin Jie nodded slightly, and waved his hand indifferently, the last time the War God Temple reported the bad deeds of the Flame Thieves Group attacking the village, the Thieves Group seemed to have only dispatched less than thirty people, but the thieves who came to Xiaoye Village today were more than double.
Seeing Lin Jie's casual appearance, Blacksmith Hu secretly admired, and the worry in his heart disappeared at once, a seven or eight-year-old child was not afraid, he, a big man, was afraid of a ball.
"Phew!" blacksmith Hu spat fiercely in the direction of the thieves.
Lin Jie's composure inspired every villager present, and they also knew that no one could back down today, and behind them were their closest people who needed their protection.
A man's courage should have been used to protect the family from violation, everyone, including Carpenter Zhang, stared at Lin Jie fiercely, and the corner of his eye looked at Lin Jie from time to time, because Lin Jie was the commander-in-chief today, and he was the first shot in the blocking battle.
None of them knew that their emotions were slowly changing, from being a little timid to a little expectant, expecting the thunderbolt in their hands to fire angry bullets.
Grandpa looked at Lin Jie who was crawling on the wall and smiled, how could he not be relieved that an eight-year-old child had not changed his face in the face of the arrival of the notorious thief group, and that he had let these villagers, who were much older than him, obey his command.
Even if today's resistance fails, everything Lin Jie has done is enough to be proud of.
Grandpa didn't expect that Lin Jie actually created the Thunderbolt Gun, when he saw the unparalleled power of the Thunderbolt Gun, the only word he could think of was "against the sky", except for this word, he could no longer describe the power of the Thunderbolt Gun.
"Bang!" a team of thieves rode their horses and accelerated towards Xiaoye Village, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves seemed to be a thick fog, enveloping the thieves running behind. Lin Jie and the others couldn't even see the horses clearly, and only from the faint torches could they see that there were thieves following them.
The moment of a decisive battle was about to come, Lin Jie stepped forward and handed the thunderbolt a little more, his left hand held the handguard under the barrel of the gun, the butt of the gun was tightly pressed against his right shoulder, and the index finger of his right hand was gently placed on the trigger.
The other seven villagers who had practiced shooting for a short time also quietly aimed their crosshairs in front of them, just like Lin Jie.
Xiaoye Village was shrouded in darkness, none of the houses were illuminated, and in the dark night, the shadows of the houses in the distance were not clear.
The villagers of Xiaoye Village listened, opened the door to welcome the grandfathers' death, and killed those who couldn't hide. There was another "pop" explosion on the leopard-eyed man's body, and his mouth was even more screaming.
"If you can't hide, you won't be forgiven...... more than 20 thieves behind him shouted in unison as if they were well-rehearsed, and the shouts were clearly heard in the deafening sound of horses' hooves.
These thieves also know the truth of preemptive tactics, and this method is one of the tactics they use every time they raid, and it has been tried and tested for them many times.
A distance of a hundred meters is not a distance at all for a galloping horse, it is simply a blink of an eye. This distance was just enough to give full play to the horsepower, and the thieves of the Flame Thieves Regiment naturally knew this truth, so the location where they gathered was exactly a hundred meters away from Xiaoye Village.
Once a rider exerts the speed of a war horse, even a war soul master in the quenching period will not dare to take it lightly, the huge impact of the horse can smash everything that stands in its way, not to mention that there is a knight with a heavy blade right away.
"Hurry, hurry!" Lin Jie muttered silently in his heart, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted those thieves to run faster, or whether he was cheering himself up.
"Hmph!" The leopard-eyed man glanced at the shadowy houses and buildings in the distance, and his face became extremely ugly: "None of the villagers in Xiaoye Village came out to greet Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will make you look good after a while." He was silently ruthless in his heart.
The leopard-eyed man relied on his strong battle soul strength, and he was not in any danger at all, and he had never heard that there was a war soul master in Xiaoye Village, so he rode a war horse and ran bravely in the front.
In the blink of an eye, the leopard-eyed man led more than 20 thieves to rush into the entrance of the village, and Lin Jie and the others could even see the hideous colors on the faces of the first few thieves through the torches in the hands of the thieves.
"Sigh!" The war horse under the leopard-eyed man suddenly screamed, and its front legs seemed to hit some obstacle, and with the inertia of running at high speed, the butt of the war horse was lifted and thrown into the air, and it smashed over the horse's head and in front.
"Not good!" exclaimed the leopard-eyed man, and with his feet on the horse, his body rushed forward like an arrow, and if the horse was to fall on him, he would have to peel off his skin if he did not die.
In the dark night, none of them noticed the three steel wires more than half a meter high lying on the road at the entrance of the village, the steel wires were not thick, and they were deliberately placed in the darkest section of the road, especially under the instruction of Lin Jie, the steel wires were also painted gray and black, which not only avoided the reflection of the steel wires, but also integrated with the background of the road.
The three steel wires side by side are difficult to find even if they stand on the horse and watch, let alone under the gallop of the horse.
The front legs of the leopard-eyed man's war horse hit the tightrope, and the horse's legs broke when they landed, if they were not too big, and galloped in the dark night, they naturally would not suffer such a big loss.
But if they hadn't galloped like this, Lin Jie would definitely not have tightened the three wires at once, but would only obediently hide under the floating soil on the road.
The thieves' light enemies gave Lin Jie's arrangement a chance to exert its power.
