Chapter Twenty-Four: The Burning of the Granary
On the hill of hares, the saber rattling.
The two sides were already close to each other, and all the members on Hare Hill were in groups of three, fighting bloodily.
In fact, the overall quality of the members of Hare Mountain is significantly higher than that of the sneak attack enemy, and the equipment is also significantly better.
In addition to the machete, each person's waist and chest were covered with a simple layer of wooden armor.
But the number of people who sneaked up on it today was significantly more than that of the people in Hare Mountain, and they were quietly going up the mountain from the back mountain forest.
Thinking of Xiao Jiu's instructions before leaving, Jin Zi was happy for a while.
Coupled with the wall that had been repaired some time ago, it delayed the enemy's attack and left time for Hare Hill to assemble its troops.
Jin Zi led the Hare Mountain group to fight, which can be regarded as holding the position, and under the close hand-to-hand combat, both sides cannot release arrows, relying only on their own strength and the ruthlessness that dares to fight.
The attacking enemy is not lacking in ruthlessness, but it is obviously behind the Hare Mountain and his party in terms of physical fitness and equipment, and at the beginning, he relied on the surprise attack and numerical advantage to catch Hare Mountain by surprise.
But when the people and horses of Hare Mountain reacted and gathered to resist the rush, the might of that group of enemies was actually much weaker.
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, and people on both sides fell one after another.
Failed to take Hare Mountain in the first place, the scar-faced man looked displeased, and today he poured out of the nest and brought almost all the family wealth.
If it doesn't work out, not to mention the heavy casualties among his subordinates, I'm afraid that the prestige of my boss will be seriously hit.
Thinking of this, the scar-faced man also rose bravely, took the lead with a knife and slashed, and overturned two hare mountain bandits one after another, and soon reached the front of the gold.
Jin Zi also carried a machete, slashing at the man who was dressed as the leader, and the weapons of the two sides collided together, hitting the sound of a long time, and the confrontation lasted for just ten seconds, but it was extremely dangerous.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for about ten minutes, and the men and horses on both sides were also exhausted, and they each took a big breath, but when they encountered a surprise attack, Hare Mountain was obviously on the inferior side, and another wave of rushing and killing was afraid that they would be killed and injured.
At this moment, the voice of the old horse came from behind the hare cottage.
"All retreat to the earthen fort, all retreat to the earthen fort."
As a shout sounded, the people of Hare Mountain retreated backwards and ran to the earthen fort they had built earlier.
And the group of thieves who sneaked up on him didn't dare to chase them, but they just rested in place for a while, and although the battle was short, all their minds were focused on fighting with their opponents, and they had already exhausted most of their mental strength and were unable to chase them.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man didn't say anything, just stared at the earthen forts where everyone retreated from Hare Mountain, wondering in his heart, when did Hare Mountain build these earthen forts?
And the overall quality of the members of Hare Mountain also secretly frightened him.
After a chaotic battle, most of the people who were hacked to death and wounded were people from their own side, and unlike them who directly relied on a group of brave people to kill, the personnel of Hare Mountain were several people working together to fight the enemy, and looking at their consistent pace, they were obviously trained in normal times.
Looking at the dead and wounded subordinates, a wave of anger rushed to his heart, today he poured out of the nest, if he went back empty-handed, he would not have to mix in this ten miles and eight towns.
After resting for a while, the scar-faced man stood up, walked to the cottage with his knife, and at the same time signaled his men to move forward, gradually outflanking the earthen fort where the people of Hare Mountain were hiding.
A scar-faced man took the lead, and the group entered the cottage, gradually surrounding the earthen forts in the center of the village, and just as they were about to approach, several pairs of bows and arrows suddenly poked out of the stone windows on the earthen forts and began to shoot.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man knew that it would be difficult to take down the people in the earthen fort in a short period of time, so he shifted his target and looked at the granary of the cottage.
With a wave of his big hand, he roared, "Damn, burn food." ”
At the Scarface Man's command, the group of centaurs approaching the fort began to turn around and head to a newly built granary, and then sent a team of men to start searching the dwellings of the people in Hare Mountain.
Inside the earthen fort, the evacuated gold saw that the thieves outside turned around and began to move towards the granary, and his heart became anxious, and he was about to lead the brothers in the earthen fort out to fight hard, but was dragged by the old horse.
"Gold, don't rush hard," said the old horse, pulling at the gold.
But after hearing this, Jin Zi directly retorted: "The grain was exchanged for the lives of the brothers, and whoever dares to touch the grain, Lao Tzu will kill him." ”
"Brothers, hack them to death for me, and leave no one behind."
After saying that, he stopped caring about the gold, and rushed out of the bunker first, and everyone behind him also followed the gold and went straight to the thieves who were about to burn the granary.
The scar-faced man was now loudly urging his men, and began to sprinkle the jars of wine he had collected from the stockade around and inside the granary, and kept an eye out for the direction of the earthen fort, in case the people who had taken refuge in the earthen fort would come out again.
Just as the granary had just started a fire, an earth-shattering shout of killing came from the direction of the earthen fort.
The scar-faced man turned his head to look in the direction of the earthen fort, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, knowing that he had burned the granary and forced the mountain bandits of Hare Mountain.
This granary on Hare Hill was built in an empty corner, and it was evening, and a crimson firelight instantly illuminated the sky, and it could be seen clearly from far away from the mountain.
Looking at the raging fire gradually burning on the granary, Jinzi, who took the lead in rushing out of the bunker, gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and everyone behind him killed the gang of thieves around the granary.
The scar-faced man was also prepared, shouted, and directly met the people of Jin and Hare Mountain who rushed over.
At this moment, a team of people suddenly came out from the direction of the gate of the cottage and killed the back of the gang of thieves.
Naturally, it was Xiao Jiu and the more than twenty elites he had taken away before, and after seeing the fire at the foot of the mountain, they rushed non-stop, but fortunately, they came at the right time.
The scar-faced man saw that the reinforcements had arrived at Hare Mountain, and at this time he was attacked from both sides, and ordered loudly in horror, commanded his men to counterattack, and began to retreat to the side.
But how could Xiao Jiu let him get his wish, and roared angrily at this group of thieves who attacked his village: "Kill them." ”
Immediately, everyone behind him rushed to kill the team where the scar-faced man was under Xiao Jiu's order, and when Jin Zi and the others saw Xiao Jiu returning, they suddenly had a backbone, and their prestige was great for a while, and they fought hard to slash at the embarrassed people in front of them.
In just one round, the gang of thieves who were caught in the flank were directly dispersed and began to flee down the mountain in all directions, and the men and horses of Hare Mountain were also fully dispatched to chase and kill the people and horses who fled in the wilderness.
Xiao Jiu looked at the burned granary, and his subordinates who fell in a pool of blood, a nameless karmic fire continued to burn in his chest.
