Seeing that the thief stopped far away, Yang Jiamo sneered, and suddenly took off his bow and arrow to aim.

When an arrow was fired, a thief fell.

"Good!"

"General Marksman!"

The officers and soldiers applauded, but it was the anti-thief leader who stood at the front and was shot in the shoulder.

Yang Jiamo's ultra-long-distance arrow frightened several peasant soldiers to turn around and run, after all, they had only been training for two months.

The chief soldier who was shot was called Xiao Zongxian, who was from the Luling clan, but he had been downcast for several generations. He joined the army as a nomad in Ji'an Fucheng, and belonged to the dock coolies like Zhang Tieniu.

"Stand back, don't run away!"

Xiao Zongxian shouted, got up in pain, and was supported by the missionary officer and retreated.

"Hunt down the thief!"

Yang Jiamo is very experienced in this, this kind of garbage thief, chasing and chasing, will be defeated.

Hundreds of officers and men in armor came out with weapons in hand, while the guards continued to come back to carry goods.

However, neither the pursuing nor the fleeing side could form a formation, and they all stepped on the narrow ridges between the paddy fields.

The scene was very magical, there were three ridges in total, and the two sides lined up in six long queues to run.

The peasant soldiers really collapsed, and they collapsed inexplicably.

At first, they were ordered to retreat, and then they saw that the people next to them were fleeing, so everyone only knew about fleeing. Some people thought that the ridge was blocked, so they took off their shoes directly, stepped on the paddy field with bare feet, and ran diagonally to another ridge.

Xiao Zongxian retreated in pain, and shouted hissedly: "Don't run around, don't run away!" ”

This is the first time that peasant soldiers from several nearby villages, totaling more than 600 people, have gathered together for the first time, and they usually train in the village as a unit.

Xiao Zongxian's military orders were ignored, let alone taking off their shoes and running away, some people even threw away their weapons.

Especially the wolf, that thing is in the way of the hands and feet, and it is very difficult to escape.

"Dangdang, dang!"

After a period of pursuit, Yang Jiamo ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Because he can't chase him, his family members are all wearing iron armor, how can they catch up with the lightly armed peasants?

Alas, it would be nice if it were in the north, and the anti-thieves could be wiped out on a war horse.

Although Hu Dinggui was also fleeing, he turned his head from time to time to observe the enemy's situation. Seeing that the officers and soldiers stopped pursuing, he immediately shouted: "The officers and soldiers are not chasing, stop quickly!" ”

"Phew, hoo!"

The missionary officer blew the bamboo whistle, and because the suona was not enough, the village used a bamboo whistle for military training.

After two months of training, the peasant soldiers had formed a conditioned reflex, and when they heard the sound of the bamboo whistle, they stopped one after another, and many people began to run back to gather.

Xiao Zongxian ordered the number of people to be counted, and found that there were more than thirty missing, and the ghost knew where he had gone.

"Kill back, listen to my orders, don't run around again!"

Xiao Zongxian reluctantly pulled out the arrow, due to the very long distance, the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh, but the barb still brought out a handful of flesh.

"Boss, those thieves are back."

Yang Jiamo glanced back and sneered: "Don't bother with it, quickly move the rest of the goods onto the ship, the reinforcements of the anti-thieves may be about to arrive." ”

"Phew, hoo, hoo!"

There was another bamboo whistle from the south, but it was the peasant soldiers from the neighboring town who rushed to support, but due to the rush of time, this peasant army only gathered more than 100 people.

The missionary officer beside Xiao Zongxian suddenly raised the banner of the peasant soldiers, embroidering an extra hoe than the flag of the regular soldiers.

"The world is the same!" The missionaries waved their flags and shouted.

"The world is the same!"

The peasants chanted.

The missionary shouted again: "Farm and eat!" ”

"Farming and eating!"

The peasants and soldiers from neighboring towns who rushed to the rescue also waved their flags.

"The world is the same!"

"Farming and eating!"

The peasants began to line up, and many of them stepped into the paddy fields, slowly advancing one shallow and one foot deep.

The peasants and soldiers who were supporting from the south trotted over to converge.

In a short time, the two groups of peasant soldiers gathered, and the strength of the army increased to more than 700 people.

Yang Jiamo ignored it, and gradually withdrew to the riverside with his troops to cover the guards carrying goods and goods to board the ship.

In other words, it can't be called cover, but help them press the formation.

These guards were too weak and were shadowed, and when they saw the anti-thieves, they were afraid, and when they heard the slogans of the anti-thieves, they wanted to run away.

"Speed up the pursuit, we can't let the dog officer run away, that's our food!"

Yang Jiamo stood on the ridge with an expressionless face, and when the soldiers and peasants entered the range of bows and arrows, he shot another arrow at Xiao Zongxian.

The arrow shot a little crookedly, hitting an ordinary peasant soldier next to it.

"Pu Er is dead!"

The peasant soldier fell with an arrow, causing the peasant soldier next to him to retreat in terror.

The formation was completely out of order, and there were signs of collapse.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield! Wield the wolf to block the arrow! ”

Xiao Zongxian shouted.

Some rattan players raised their wooden pot lids, while others froze in place.

"Phew, hoo!"

The missionary shouted: "Folks, if you don't leave the dog officer today, he will bring troops to rob him in the future." Take away our food, take away our fields. Don't be afraid, shout with me, the world is the same! ”

"The world is the same!"

"Farming and eating!"

"Farming and eating!"

The peasants and soldiers, who were on the verge of collapse, miraculously boosted their morale and re-arrayed and marched forward.

Yang Jiamo finally paid attention to it, recruited hundreds of family members to his side, lined up on a horizontal ridge, and all raised their bows and arrows to shoot.

Most of the cavalry of the Ming border army were equipped with Kaiyuan bows.

It is a soft bow that is not very powerful, but it is easy to shoot on horseback. There are hooks at both ends of the bow, and if the cavalry of the two armies shoots at each other, the arrows are exhausted, and the hooks can be used to pick up the arrows stuck in the ground.

The arrows are special long arrows to avoid over-filling the bow when riding.

"Stop!"

"Phew!"

The peasant soldiers, who had only been trained for two months, stopped advancing and looked at the officers and soldiers from a distance.

Their goal is not to fight a tough battle, but to drag the officers and soldiers down!

"Woohoo!"

Hundreds of Ding Qi brushed and released arrows, but only more than a dozen shots, and the rest all missed.

The distance is too far, the range is insufficient, and there are wooden shields and wolf whisks in the way.

Moreover, even if you are shot, as long as you don't hurt the vital point, you basically don't have to worry about your life. Although the accuracy of this combination of soft bow and long arrow is very high, the arrow storage speed is very poor, and the long-range lethality is seriously insufficient.

It has the advantage of being able to quickly draw the bow and hit the target accurately when running on horseback.

As for lethality, it's not riding archery that needs to be considered.

"Pick up the wounded and take five steps back!"

From the beginning of the war to the present, three peasant soldiers have been shot dead and more than a dozen wounded.

Xiao Zongxian's vest broke out in a cold sweat, if he had stopped slowly just now, the casualties would probably have multiplied several times.

Even so, there are signs of collapse of the peasant soldiers, after all, it is demoralizing to be attacked from a distance.

Yang Jiamo was also surprised, he had already seen that there were some recruits in front of him, and they were thieves who had not been in the gang for a long time. But in the round of shooting just now, many officers and soldiers had to flee after being beaten, and these anti-thieves were actually just in a chaotic formation.

"Toot toot toot!"

On the river in the south, a suona suddenly blew, which was a sentinel boat sent by Yang Jiamo.

A total of several were sent out, and they were scattered ten miles out, all of which were small sampans that could only sit on two or three people.

"Retreat, the unfinished goods are abandoned, and anti-thief reinforcements are coming."

Yang Jiamo is very decisive, he has commanded the army for more than ten years, which can be described as like the wind.

There are cheap to take advantage of, come and go like the wind; In the face of danger, it also comes and goes like the wind.

In his eyes, infantry and friendly troops are consumables, which can be thrown out to death at any time, and only his own cavalry is the most important.

Xiao Zongxian shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are coming, forward!" ”

The guards threw down their goods and ran fast in an instant.

Yang Jiamo's family ran slowly, who let them have armor on their bodies, and they also carried bows and arrows. On each person, there are thirty long arrows, which is standard.

There is also this broken terrain, you can only run along the ridge, and it is easy to fall into the paddy field when you run fast.

There were only two miles left from the river, and the thieves behind him were chasing closer and closer, which made Yang Jiamo frown.

"Stop, draw your bow!"

The officers and soldiers could not line up, and a dragon stood on the ridge of the field, so he obeyed the order and fired a volley.

"Stop! Raise the shield, raise the shield! Swing the wolf whisk too! ”

"Woohoo!"

The wooden lid was raised, and the wolf soldiers waved long bamboo poles with branches, but the distance was too close, and more than 40 people were shot at once.

The peasant formations collapsed instantly, and they fled one after another.

"Kill!"

Hu Dinggui suddenly roared and rushed out, stepping on the muddy water in the field. Of his ten-man team, six had already run, and the rest followed the charge.

The missionary had a painful expression, clutched his chest and shouted: "The world is the same, farming and eating!" Our field, don't let the dog officer rob it! Kill the thief! Kill...... cough cough cough ......"

coughed continuously, vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Yang is dead, Mr. Yang is dead!"

The peasants shouted, and many of them were fleeing, and when they heard this, they turned and looked back.

"Mr. Yang is dead! Wow woo ~ ~~~"

A few peasant soldiers actually cried bitterly on the spot.

Xiao Zongxian was furious and shouted: "Avenge Mr. Yang, kill me with me!" ”

Of the more than 700 peasant soldiers, only more than 300 remained, and the rest all fled.

But those who did not flee will rush forward at this moment. With improvised weapons, they struck at the officers and men who had more men than them, who were better armed than them, and who were covered in armor.

"It's crazy!"

Yang Jiamo's face was horrified, and he ordered to continue the volley.

"Woooo

This time, nearly 100 people were directly hit by arrows, some fell directly to the ground, and some rushed forward with arrows stuck in their bodies.

"Retreat!"

Yang Jiamo could already see the anti-thief warship, which was too close to Linjiang Mansion, and the main force of the anti-thief's sailor was stationed there.

If he doesn't run, it's too late, and this anti-thief in front of him has wasted too much of his time!

Yang Jiamo still can't understand why he will encounter a large number of anti-thief soldiers when he randomly loots villages. Could it be that every village and town has thieves stationed in it, that's too terrible, how many troops are there against thieves?

has been delayed until now, and it is completely out of Yang Jiamo's plan.

After receiving the order to retreat, hundreds of families turned around and ran, and they could only run along the ridges. Because the body is too heavy, I can't run at all when I step into the paddy field.

Running and running, some officers and soldiers turned around to shoot arrows, and their bows shot very quickly.

More than a dozen peasant soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, Hu Dinggui rushed to the forefront, and there were only two of his ten-man team left, plus only three of himself. However, the slowest officer and soldier were only more than ten steps away from him.

Suddenly, Hu Dinggui jumped on the ridge, his speed suddenly accelerated, and he rushed up barefoot with a gun.

The ridge is too narrow for one person to pass.

Hu Dinggui stabbed the officers and soldiers in the back with a shot, but he couldn't get in, because there was chain mail inside the cotton armor.

After these border generals looted the money, their first priority was to arm their families, and each of them smashed a huge amount of silver.

The officer and soldier drew his knife and turned to cut it, Hu Dinggui abandoned his spear, slammed forward with his short body, and rolled into the field with the officer and soldier. He pulled out the long arrow from the quiver of the officer and soldier, stabbed it into the eye socket of the other party, and quickly pulled it out and stabbed it again, and the last arrow pierced into the throat.

When Hu Dinggui stood up, he found that one of his soldiers had been hacked to death, and the other was scuffling with the officers and soldiers in the field.

Hu Dinggui picked up his spear, rushed over and stabbed the enemy in the throat.

Xiao Zongxian also rushed over, and the peasants and soldiers could jump into the fields to surround and kill, but the officers and soldiers could only fight alone on the ridges.

A few officers and soldiers also jumped into the paddy fields, their boots stuck in the muddy water, and every movement was very difficult, and they almost became live targets for the peasants to surround and kill.

One after another, these peasant soldiers, who had only been training for two months, killed more than 40 family members in total. The price they paid was more than 160 dead and wounded, more than 20 of whom were killed on the spot, and some were fatally wounded and temporarily breathless.

Hu Dinggui's eyes were red, half angry, half grief.

With one of his remaining men, he frantically chased towards the river, only to see that all the officers and soldiers had boarded the boat.

"Hurry up, get out of the boat!"

Yang Jiamo shouted in panic, the anti-thief warship was getting closer and closer.

Yang Jiamo seemed to have forgotten that the boats he was on were loaded with goods that had been carried for two hours!

It was not only the guards who were carrying, but also robbed some mules and ploughing oxen, which could transport two or three stones of grain in one trip.

The ship is loaded with too much cargo, and it can't run fast at all.
