Chapter 45: The Bandits Attack
"Forget it, you just protect him like this. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Seeing that his sister, who had always been calm, had come to defend this nobleman so outwardly, the boy didn't want to continue talking about it.
Glancing at the distance, he smiled slyly, quietly approached Sei and said mysteriously: "Sister, why don't you leave that nobleman alone today." Come to me, my buddies and I have a lot of good goods, you should come over for a meal, they won't say anything. ”
As he spoke, Sevan gestured to a few guards who were waving to him not far away.
"I'm afraid they have other intentions for your friendship, and I don't want to be an exhibit. Don't go!" After glancing at his brother's so-called friend, Sei could clearly feel some kind of fiery emotion in the other party's eyes. "I advise you to stay away from them, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. And we have a special relationship with Uncle Simon, don't talk about this relationship, otherwise I won't spare you if you don't say Uncle Simon. ”
Seivan was visibly stunned when he heard Sey mention Simon, but he quickly reacted.
"I see, why didn't I find out that you were like an aunt before. If you don't come, forget it, I'm leaving. After Sevan finished speaking, he angrily left Sey, who was about to talk to him, and ran away.
"Really. Seeing that he ignored his younger brother angrily, Sei didn't expect his younger brother to play tricks on him. Pick up the cutlery on the side and walk back.
"Ahh
A scream from Sei resounded throughout the forest.
"What's going on?"
Liu Shiyu, who was on patrol, immediately ran in the direction where the screams came out.
"Captain! Enemy attack! We are surrounded!"
Sevan, who was the first to discover the situation, hurriedly ran over to report to his captain.
I saw dozens of people slowly climbing up to the bank of the river, which was empty just now. Dressed in ragged and shabby clothes and with swords in hand, they slowly gathered around the crowd by the carriage.
"What's wrong? Are you alright? Liang Feng, who heard the scream, also hurriedly came out of Anya's room, stopped Sey, who was running away, and asked.
"Great, my lord, it's a robber, we're surrounded!" replied with a trembling hand pointing to the robber who was already preparing to surround them and was looking at him with ill will.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Needless to say, Liang Feng patted his shoulder and comforted Sey, pushed her into Anya's carriage and said. "Go to the princess, it's safest there. ”
"Captain Liu. After settling down with Saiyi, Liang Feng rushed to Liu Shiyu's side.
"It's a robber, and it's not a good one. We are now gathering and preparing to defend ourselves against the enemy. Liu Shiyu looked around, and after roughly estimating the strength of the two sides, he couldn't help frowning.
"Agreed. ”
"Everyone assemble in the middle! The soldiers are divided into two teams, with their backs to the carriage and ready to defend themselves against the enemy, hurry up!" Seeing that the robbers were getting closer and closer, Liu Shiyu held his sword and asked the soldiers to move faster.
Hearing the leader's order, the originally chaotic scene was immediately effectively controlled, and the group gathered together in an orderly manner. For a time, the two sides were in full battle, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Who are you? How dare you attack the Wang family's convoy!" Seeing that the guards had already set up their formation, Liu Shiyu began to negotiate with the robbers who surrounded them.
"Merlan's convoy? What can I do about this......
The robbers, who were originally eager to rush up, whispered uneasily after hearing Liu Shiyu's words. Obviously, they didn't expect that the target of their attack this time would be the Wang family's convoy. For a while, these outlaws were a little hesitant, they would definitely make a lot of money by eating these goods, but they would also suffer the wrath of the royal family.
"Don't panic!" a middle-aged man who looked like a leader suppressed the anxiety of his subordinates in time. "Now that this is the case, do we have room to retreat? This is the jungle, who would have thought that we did this attack on them? We have an absolute advantage now, what are we afraid of? Leo Merlin is not clairvoyant, and he can know everything that is happening here?"
"Brothers, think about who made us grass? Isn't it the bastard who sits on the throne. As a result, we have cut off contact with our parents, wives and children, and we have not been able to see each other to this day. After looking at his subordinates, who were still a little restless, the middle-aged man continued to incite the hatred of everyone. "This is the opportunity given to us by the heavens! a chance to take revenge on Léo Merlan! Kill these people, the women stay, and the men sell to the slave traders! Make these damned nobles pay the price, and let them taste the suffering we have suffered for the past two years!"
"Kill me!" After drawing his weapon, the middle-aged man led the already boiling robbers to rush towards the convoy.
"Everyone! Arrange in defensive formation!Don't be afraid, we are the most elite soldiers, we are the pride of the king!For the honor of the Royal Knights!" Despite seeing hundreds of people rushing towards him, the difference in strength between the two sides was huge. But Liu Shiyu was still not afraid, but commanded in an orderly manner.
"Kill!" the war is about to break out.
"Hold the formation and wait for the opportunity to move. While commanding the battlefield, Liu Shiyu used a backhand as a sword, slashing at the nearest robber.
The battlefield was chaotic. Despite the superiority of the bandits, they all rushed to the guards at the beginning. However, the guards were still as steady as a mountain with their sophisticated weapons and tight formation, and were not scattered by the onslaught of these hundreds of people.
"Team Liu. With a kick, he kicked away the robber who was about to attack him, and Liang Feng ran in front of Liu Shiyu. "These bandits are no ordinary bandits, they seem to know our formation very well. You see that they couldn't strike a single blow, and they didn't retreat and continue to attack, but they used wheel warfare against us in a closed circle. Some of our soldiers are already unaccustomed to the soil and water, and their physical strength is too small, and I am worried that they will not be able to hold on for a long time. ”
"You have a point, but there are only about two dozen people on our side, and the gap between the numbers on both sides is too big. It's not good to act rashly!" Liu Shiyu was also aware of this situation, but he couldn't change it. "They are supposed to be the rebels who were routed two years ago, hiding in the mountains and surviving on looting. It's really a narrow road now, I didn't expect to meet them here. They know no less about the formation of our army than you and me, and this time they have hit a nail. ”
"I have a way to solve the current situation if it succeeds. Looking at the middle-aged man who was commanding in the distance, Liang Feng's brain began to spin rapidly.
"Although both sides are soldiers, they are just a bunch of defeated soldiers. can escape and survive on the battlefield, in addition to the real elites, there are only old fritters who steal and cheat. If you look at their combat style and momentum, they simply don't have the courage to fight us. It's nothing more than trying to slowly deplete our physical strength through consumption. The momentum of this gang of bandits comes from the fact that there are two, the cruel commander and the contrast in numbers. ”
Speaking of this, Liang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the leader who was directing the bandits in the distance. "The Art of War says: 'Capture the thief and capture the king first!' As long as we kill that commander, without the backbone, their morale will disappear. To deal with these cowards is to let them know that if they want to eat us, they are ready to pay with their lives in exchange. Victory will never belong to cowards. ”
"It's a good way. But our numbers are too small! We have done our best to resist their siege, and now we have no ability to send troops to surprise us. Although he agreed with Liang Feng's opinion, Liu Shiyu still shook his head when comparing the number of people on both sides.
"Team Liu, you seem to have forgotten that we still have a living force that is useless. As he spoke, Liang Feng pointed to the children of the nobles who were being protected by the guards. At this time, the young children who are usually high-spirited have long since lost their previous spirit. Except for a few who were fairly sedated, most of them were already frightened.
"They...... It's the first time you've encountered this kind of thing, right?Is it really okay to hand it over to them?" Glancing at the protected nobles in the rear, Liu Shiyu didn't trust their strength.
