Chapter 187 is difficult to defend

Sure enough, the suppression of the five hundred archers made not a single arrow shoot out of Yixiong Village. The commander shouted triumphantly, "Keep firing arrows without interruption!"

Several groups of soldiers who were ready to move forward also had some confidence in their hearts, and they had the courage to move cautiously along the side of the narrow road towards the walled gate.

"Master, you see, just a few people still want to guard the door, my hundreds of archers can't even get out of the salvo, what's the use of relying on the dangerous terrain alone!" said the commander of the thousand troops.

Master Bai was just about to nod his head and praise, but he saw the gate of the village creak open, and a slightly round boulder was more than one person high, just the size of which could block the narrow road. Countless arrows crackled on it, broke to the ground, and as if someone behind them was pushing, they slowly moved out of the gate and rolled up along the mountain road that was gradually descending.

"Whaha! Let you turtle soldiers and shrimp know how powerful I am!" A man appeared behind the boulder that rolled out of the gate, fat and tall like a fierce god, with bare arms and bald head, grinning. After speaking, he ran into the village to avoid the arrows, and closed the gate of the village with his hands.

The boulders rolled faster and faster, scraping against the rocks on both sides of the narrow road. When several groups of soldiers saw that something was wrong, they turned around and ran. Fortunately, they didn't wait for them to march to the middle of the narrow road to put them in, or they all had to be crushed into pulp.

Behind the narrow road, a group of soldiers, together with the master, hurriedly dodged from both sides from a distance. The boulder rumbled through several large trees before stopping, which made people's hearts tremble.

Sure enough, as Liao Sha said, there was an unusually tall and fat fierce man who easily broke through the gate of the village! Such a fierce man who pushed the atmosphere of the boulder without breathing, guarding the already narrow road, was really a man who could not be opened, and Master Bai scratched his head again.

"I'll tell you, I just listened to the stone's words and didn't want to kill people indiscriminately. If you know each other, hurry up, or I'll have a boulder rolling log, and as many people as you come, you'll be smashed into mud!"

This shouting inside made the master's heart even colder, how could there be no stones and trees guarding the mountain, it had already taken a lot of time, and they must have been ready. I don't care how many soldiers die, but it's a big deal that I can't attack it.

Nearly a thousand soldiers were helpless to look at such a stockade defended by a hundred people, and the commander and several centurions also looked at each other. It's okay to play some conspiracy and tricks, the master who leads the troops to fight is definitely not good, seeing that these people around him have no choice, the angry master Bai shouted and scolded, "A group of rice buckets, you are all idiots, if you can't attack it before dark, go back and fight all the sticks a hundred!"

A hundred sticks were beaten to death, and several centurions were in a hurry. It won't take half an hour for it to get dark, and it makes it even more difficult, even if there are torches...

"Torch! fire!yes!" The commander suddenly had an idea when he thought of the torch, and came to the master's side, and said, "Master, we can send someone to the nearest village to find some fire oil, tie it to the arrow, and burn it to the walled gate, so that with the suppression of our archers, how dare anyone resist near the walled gate."

Sure enough, there was a way, and without the tall gate, the soldiers could rush up. The situation inside Yixiongzhuang is very clear, after passing the narrow road and the walled gate, there is no empty grass and semi-underground houses except for big trees, and there is no danger to rely on.

"That's it, send people to the nearby villages as fast as possible to find more oil! In addition, report the situation here to the city lord, and send more people to come, they have to stay here without fear, I am afraid that there will be changes!"

The master thought about it again and ordered, Yixiongzhuang is not without a back road, but the mountain road is far away and rugged, and no one can go out all day, and there are so many old and young women and children, as long as they are still here, they are not afraid of anything. It's just that after a long delay, I'm afraid things will change.

Half an hour had passed, Shi Jingtian and Dong Fei were sitting behind the gate of the walled village, watching the movement outside, discussing something in a whisper, and Zhang Yong seemed to know that there was going to be a fierce battle, and desperately stuffed things into his stomach. Beside him were a few boulders and rolling logs, and that was the task that the stone had given him.

Behind the walled gate, as the master knew, except for the grass and trees, it was an open place, and the semi-underground houses were sparsely built behind. About fifty Dong Fei's soldiers, clinging to the gate of the village, holding a longbow and waiting for orders, tied with red cloth strips on their arms, in order to distinguish between friend and foe in the melee, thirty or forty King Kong people with sledgehammers also guarded there, a total of just one hundred.

Shi Jingtian knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for the villagers of the village with him to take refuge from the mountains behind the village no matter what, and it was impossible to leave behind the old and young women and children, so they would definitely be caught up by the soldiers of the city lord. Lan Damiang and other villagers were in a few houses at the back of the village, and Dong Fei arranged for fifty soldiers to protect and guard them. Now all hope is that the Imperial City's Lihuo General will hold on to the rescue.

Perhaps, there are some things that I have overlooked, even if the two brothers sent the letter to Lihuo, Jiuyao City will soon receive the legend of the flying pigeon, but the city lord will not necessarily listen to General Li's own investigation of this matter, it is very likely that he will kill people in an emergency, and finally shirk the reason, without any evidence, no one can do anything.

I only hope that General Lihuo can understand the seriousness of the matter and send a large army to come. Hu Zuo and Hu Wei could also think that everyone would temporarily hide in Yixiongzhuang and rush here as soon as possible.

"It's been an hour, and there's still no movement!" Dong Fei looked at the narrow road a little anxiously, "Seeing that it's getting dark, are they going to give up?"

It is absolutely impossible to give up the attack, Shi Jingtian patted Dong Fei on the shoulder, his mood was a little heavy, "Brother Dong, I am the one who has affected you!"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Of course, Dong Fei knew what the stone was going to say, and his face was full of indifference, "As a thousand-commander who eats the imperial city, the people of Dawn support us, even if we die when we encounter such a thing, we can be at ease! My soldiers are even from poor people's families, I tell you these things, everyone is full of righteous indignation, and no one is afraid of death and wants to withdraw!"

Sure enough, what kind of general will bring what kind of soldiers, look at the more than fifty soldiers around him with longbows and short knives at their waists, their expressions are grim, but they do not have the slightest timidity because there are thousands of people outside.

"They won't withdraw, let us go, the collusion between the Black Lotus Society and the city lord will be known to the world, and the only way is to shut us up forever, so this will be a vicious battle!"

Dong Fei nodded, "At this time, the two brothers who sent the letter to the Imperial City should arrive!"

"Now maybe that's all we have hope!"

"No matter what, death will be deserved!" Dong Fei stretched out his big hand and shook it together with the big hand on his shoulder.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the narrow road was already pitch black, and the bright moonlight could not penetrate the mountains and the canopy, leaving only deep shadows swaying with the breeze. Shi Jingtian stared at the movement outside, knowing in his heart that the real crisis was coming.

Sure enough, the soldiers outside began to light torches, which stood out in the jungle. Then the firelight began to light up sporadically, more and more brighter, neatly arranged into a dense phalanx.

"It's broken, it's a rocket!" Dong Fei exclaimed.

"I can't hold the gate of the wall, let's retreat!"

Can't hesitate, don't go at this time, wait for the arrow to fall and ignite the walled gate, then under the cover of the arrow rain, you can't run if you want to. Shi Jingtian and Dong Fei shouted, and the soldiers and King Kong people quickly retreated inside, hiding behind houses and tree trunks.

Pieces of arrows flew over with lit tarpaulin, illuminating the night sky, shooting densely on the gates, and quickly igniting the entire wooden gate and the sentry post. It was a wooden structure, and after a long time of drying and baking, the fire became bigger and bigger, and there was a crackling sound in the raging burning, and the black smoke mixed with the fire rushed to the sky, and it was not likely to rumble, and the collapse of the gate pressed all the boulders and rolling logs that were ready to defend against the enemy underneath.

"Protect Aunt Lan and the villagers, and when the fire stops, they will attack!"

"Well, it's best to drive them all to the entrance of the narrow road, then we can resist in shifts even though there are few people!" Dong Fei said as the soldiers around him conveyed their orders.

Shi Jingtian nodded heavily, if he could drive them all to the narrow road at this time, thousands of troops and horses would also become decorations, and a zhang yong would be able to block it for two hours, and delaying time was the most important thing.

The fire was getting smaller and smaller, and the gate was burned to ashes, leaving only a few boulders still black there. Under the cover of the rocket, all the surrounding trees were set on fire, except for the narrow road, and a large area near the original gate of the village was bare.

Master Bai took a closer look at Yixiong Village by the light of the fire, and sure enough, there was no danger to rely on without the gate, and the fire burned a large open space, with what resistance could the hundred and ten people make, he was overjoyed, and ordered the commander to attack.

"Up!"

The commander waved his hand, and the soldiers, fearing that they would suffer another loss, cowered and walked along the narrow road to the stockade.

There was no rain of arrows, no fierce men pushing boulders, everything was quiet. The first group of soldiers carefully walked past the ruins where there were still Mars, and looked at the dense forest and semi-underground houses in front of them, and for a moment they were a little overwhelmed.

"Alert ahead! on, keep up! everyone follow!"

With the commander's order, the soldiers who followed behind him were much faster. A large number of soldiers quickly ran along the narrow road towards the village.

"Hmph, I don't believe where they can hide! Do they want to retreat?" Master Bai couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw that the soldiers had already entered the stockade and no one had resisted.

"Don't worry, master! In the dense forests of the mountains, no one with those old and young women and children can escape!"

The commander seems to have predicted, and only a hundred people can only resist according to the terrain, the gate and sentry post have turned into ashes, and it is estimated that people have already been frightened and desperately escaped!
