Chapter 21: Eat Me a Shot

Yuan Yao calculated the time, originally wanted to wait, but now the time has come.

looked at the anxious expressions of Ji Ling and the soldiers of the warrior camp around him.

Yuan Yao didn't let them continue to wait.

"Okay, don't wait any longer, you can attack!"

"General Ji Ling, you lead those third-class soldiers to attack from the front, and I will lead those second-class soldiers to surround from the flank, in case these bandits break through and leave."

The area of the lakeside water village is not large, and these people brought by Yuan Yao outflanked the past from the side, facing the lake, all they had to do was block the way out of these people.

"By the way, everyone, hold two torches, wave their flags and shout behind those bandits, don't rush to attack."

After Ji Ling led the third-class soldiers to rush out, Yuan Yao immediately gave an order to the more than a thousand second-class soldiers behind him.

Since it is necessary to hit the morale of those bandits, it is actually not enough to rely on these manpower under Yuan Yao.

He only has more than 1,000 people, counting Tai Shici's more than 1,000 people, and the total number of bandits is not as many as Chen Ce's manpower.

If it was just a few hundred third-class soldiers led by Ji Ling rushing over to attack the rear of the bandits, the movement would not be too big.

Although those bandits would be frightened by this support army, they could guess from the number of sporadic torches that the number of Tai Shici's ambushes would not be too large.

At that time, as long as Chen Ce raises his arms and shouts to stabilize the morale of the army, it is not without the strength of a battle.

Therefore, if Yuan Yao wanted to completely attack the military spirit of these bandits under Chen Ce, he had to make a mistake, bringing a large number of reinforcements and the illusion of ambush around.

And the fastest way for these privates is for each of them to carry two torches, or even three torches.

In this way, the bandits, judging by the number of torches densely packed in the rear, would guess that there were at least two or three thousand ambushes in the rear, or even more.

With the arrival of a large number of reinforcements, the mountain bandits were already afraid of death, so where would they resist desperately here.

will only be bent on escaping.

According to Yuan Yao's order, the privates under his command immediately began to move and lit the torches that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Kill!"

Ji Ling came out from behind with more than 400 third-class soldiers.

More than 400 people shouted at the same time, making a loud shout of killing.

In the water village, the water thieves under the command of Tai Shici heard the shouting and killing sound from the rear at this time, and they were immediately overjoyed.

Most of them, the water thieves, had already learned in advance that they would have reinforcements, and it was because of this that they dared to fight to the death with more than 3,000 mountain bandits here.

Now that reinforcements have finally arrived, their morale has been greatly shaken, and they have burst out with more courageous combat capabilities for a while.

On the other hand, Chen Ce on the other side is a little bad.

The mountain bandits under Chen Ce's command were indeed a little fierce for a while, and more than 3,000 people slaughtered into the water village, but there was no sign of rout.

After all, these mountain bandits are not some novices, they rob houses and houses, and resist the attacks of the imperial court officials and soldiers a lot, and they all have blood on their hands.

Although they have not experienced much of this kind of scene, it is not a few, and it is too normal for them to fight and kill.

originally thought that the annihilation of the more than 1,000 people under Tai Shici's command was just a matter of being captured, but when they entered the water village, they realized that things were not as simple as they thought.

These water thieves of Tai Shi Ci are not at the same level as the combat power that burst out when they were in the First Line of Heaven Canyon.

Significantly more powerful.

As the battle progressed, the second master, One-Eye, actually died in this water village, which greatly affected the morale of these water thieves for a while.

Fortunately, because they brought more people, and there was a steady stream of helpers behind them, they entered the water village, so that the mountain bandits were not defeated in a short period of time.

But suddenly, the shouting and killing sound from the rear made the mountain bandits, whose morale was already low, panic all of a sudden.

The mountain bandits in the rear were caught off guard by Ji Ling and others, and they were cut down to the ground before they had time to resist for a while.

The battle from the rear also attracted the attention of these people in the water village.

Especially Chen Ce, who is a big boss.

Chen Ce had just swung his knife and killed a water thief, and was about to rush into the crowd and fight with the fierce Tai Shi Ci.

But suddenly, the sound from behind made Chen Ce feel bad all of a sudden, and he turned his head to look back, which made Chen Ce even more dumbfounded.

On the shore behind between, dense torches fluttered in the wind, blowing in the breeze, and only the sporadic firelight could be seen, forming a circle, which was surrounding the entire water village.

Not only that, but their back roads are about to be blocked, and the entire water village will be surrounded by these torches.

Chen Ce was stunned for a moment.

Just looking at the number of these torches, there are thousands of them, densely packed, and the layers are very huge.

Chen Ce was anxious all of a sudden, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the entourage next to him over.

yelled angrily.

"What's going on? Where did these water thieves get their reinforcements? ”

"Didn't you tell Lao Tzu that Tai Shici only has more than 1,000 people under his command!"

"What's going on with the reinforcements behind this?!"

Chen Ce's roar made the little brother under him dumbfounded.

He didn't know what was going on, and his scouts didn't tell him that there were more reinforcements.

At this moment, when Chen Ce asked like this, the little brother was directly dumbfounded, hesitant, and didn't know how to answer at all.

"Big ...... Big boss, I'm ...... I don't know what's going on! ”

As soon as Chen Ce let go, he directly threw his little brother to the ground and sighed.

At this moment, it is not the time to ask the younger brother for the crime, if there is a delay or two, the reinforcements behind will be killed, and even if they want to retreat, it will be too late.

"Brothers, don't panic, this must be a trick of these water thieves, they simply don't have so many manpower!"

"Rush in with me, as long as we capture that Tai Shi Ci alive, these people will not be our opponents!"

As the big boss, Chen Ce is also the backbone of this gang of bandits, as long as Chen Ce is still there, he will be able to stabilize some military morale, although some of the mountain bandits on the periphery may not be able to gather and are afraid to escape.

But these mountain bandits who entered the water village could still rely on Chen Ce's side and give it a go.

Chen Ce let out two shouts, raised his knife and slashed into the crowd.

At the same time, because of his few shouts just now, he also attracted Tai Shici's attention.

Tai Shi Ci had just killed the second master of the one-eyed, and it was the time to rise, and he was now sweeping other mountain bandit leaders on the battlefield, and Chen Ce's two words immediately made Tai Shi Ci see him.

"Chen Ce, take me a shot!"
