Two days passed quickly.

After all the preparations were made, the ordinary villagers retreated from the rocky hills, leaving the town guards stationed and waiting for the arrival of the bandits.

As the news of the special squad continued to come, Xu Chuan also had the general information of this bandit coalition army.

As for the defense of the town, Xu Chuan also took into account, and from the guards who had been rotated before, he transferred 500 people, which could be regarded as militia, patrolling near Sanzhi Town, so as to prevent other small groups of bandits from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack.

.......

After all the preparations were made, Xu Chuan and Ji Liang climbed the hillside under the scorching sun and looked into the distance.

More than half an hour passed, smoke and dust rose in the distance of the rocky hill, and dense black dots appeared at the end of the field of vision, like a black ant marching, coming towards this side.

"Here, Uncle Ji."

Xu Chuan looked at the bandits in the distance and said.

Ji Liang nodded, and the two of them went down the mountain at the same time, running towards the town guards.

It's just that the two ran in completely different directions, Ji Liang rode a horse to meet the bandits, and Xu Chuan came behind the large army.

Through the previous exploration of the special team, the two of them knew that the bandits who attacked Sanzhi Town this time were formed by seven groups of men and horses, each group had as little as five or six hundred people, and as many as seven or eight hundred.

If it was a single group of bandits, they were no match for the town guards, but the combination of seven groups of people made a full of three thousand, six or seven hundred.

Although it is a rabble, it is also a huge threat to the town guards.

Especially those bandits still have crossbows in their hands.

Therefore, after Xu Chuan and Ji Liang and others discussed, they agreed to defeat these bandits with strong crossbows first.

But according to the information of the special squad, the bandits armed with strong crossbows were protected in the center of the camp.

If you want a crossbow to get within range of the trebuchet, you have to find a way.

After all, with the range of the crossbow, it is very likely that the bandits will let the crossbow shoot a few rounds outside the range of the trebuchet after discovering the town guards.

In this case, Xu Chuan thought of a way, one is to lure the enemy deeper.

On the basis that the actions of the special team were not discovered by those bandits, a group of people were arranged to walk around the rocky forest, pretending to be spies of the previous guards.

Then, after making sure that the bandits are discovered, they blow the horn while fleeing quickly, pretending to have just discovered the appearance of the bandits.

In this case, there is a high probability that those bandits will catch up.

And as long as the bandit enters the attack range of the trebuchet, with the power of the trebuchet, it is definitely enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

It's just that this method is very dangerous for those who lure the bandits deeper.

After all, the opponent has a strong crossbow in his hand, a bow and arrows, and under a covering volley, the person who lures the bandit may die.

But someone has to do these things, so the special squad, which was not long after being selected, once again took on a more difficult task.

When they lure bandits, they must stay out of the range of the opponent's bow and arrows in order to avoid damage from the bows.

As for the strong crossbow, then there is no way, you can only dodge as much as possible, the range of the strong crossbow is too far.

In addition to luring the enemy deeper, and then deploying a group of trebuchets on the flank, giving it a stir-fry, under siege on three sides, Xu Chuan didn't believe that he couldn't take these bandits.

......

Returning to the army, looking at Ji Liang's departing back, Xu Chuan shouted: "All the town guards, get ready!" ”

"Yes!"

The guards responded loudly, standing in front of the trebuchet, the first batch of gravel had been put on the shelves, and they could be launched just waiting for the order.

In the distance, more than a dozen special forces had already mounted their horses, pretending to wander in front of the bandits inadvertently, deliberately showing their heads in front of the bandit troops, and quickly fled after confirming that the other party had seen them.

At the same time, the whining horn sounded throughout the rocky hills.

Seeing this scene, those bandits immediately became excited.

Especially the big brothers who were riding on horses, they were especially excited after looking at each other, they had not teamed up before, and they had long been clear about the tricks of those guards in Sanzhi Town.

In the current case, based on previous experience, this means that the guards have just discovered them and are in a hurry to return to report and gather their men.

Several of the eldest brothers who took the lead looked at each other, nodded at the same time, drew their swords from their waists, and turned around and shouted.

"Sons, rush with me!"

"Those guards have just spotted us, and the sooner we rush over, we can grab the food sooner."

"Brothers, rush! Grab money and food! What a bumper harvest! ”

After a few big brothers who took the lead howled a few words, they whipped on the horse's ass and took the lead in rushing towards the fleeing special squad, forgetting to even let the crossbow shoot and intercept the other party.

After the little brother behind him heard the roar of the big brothers, he naturally quickened his pace and followed along.

There are generally only two or three kinds of bandits, either they are lazy and lazy, or they have committed some serious crime and fled to the mountain, or they are forced.

Of course, there are some people who naturally like this mouthful, but overall there are not many.

And how much discipline can such a thief be?

Especially since this is still a group of seven people together, each with its own boss, each with its own command, in this way, it is even more chaotic, and it is a good thing that you didn't trample on your own people when you charge.

When they robbed Sanzhi Town, they basically relied on their own number to outnumber the guards, and they went directly to the honeycomb, and they would not negotiate with the guards to ask for food, because it was difficult for everyone's opinions to be unified, so it was better to go in and grab what was what.

Such a bandit is the greatest harm to the three-regardless zone.

Because they don't care about their lives or anything at all, if the town guards don't stop it, it's basically a mess.

......

With the charge of the bandits, they got closer and closer to the position where the town guards deployed the trebuchet, and when the special team completed its mission, they directly accelerated and threw the bandits behind them, and the figures were directly invisible.

This made the bandit leader who chased after him a little dazed, but he gradually calmed down.

They chased all the way for such a long distance, but except for these sentries, they didn't see any other guards appear, and the previous horn sound also disappeared, which made these leading brothers a little puzzled and slowed down a little.

But they didn't think much about it, no matter what the guards were, they also stuffed their teeth, the robbery was smooth sailing in the past, this time there are more people, can it overturn?

All the way forward, soon these big brothers saw the town guards who were stopped in the rocky hills, and the two sides were less than a kilometer apart.

This made these big brothers excited, they hadn't seen the figure of the guards before, and they thought that the other party had some new means, but now it seems that it is still the same as before.

As for that kind of weird catapult, they had also heard of it.

There is also news circulating among the bandits and robbers, and last time the earth dragon with 3,000 people seemed to have been planted in the hands of this thing, and their heads fell off.

So this time, they deliberately spent a lot of money to buy some strong crossbows, and then cooperated with the archers, as long as they went up, under a random shot, it can be said that it would be easy to take down Sanzhi Town.
