Chapter 63: Bandits
The cannon fodder held the feathered arrows shot down from the defensive wall of the large shield, and the minotaurs began to wheel the sledgehammer to smash the gate of the cottage, and every time the hammer and the wooden gate came into contact, countless smoke and dust would fall on the gate, and the sound of wooden fibers breaking, giving people infinite hope.
When the bandits on the wall saw someone smashing the door, they understood Wang Yong's intentions, and under the command of the bandit leader, they attacked Wang Yong and others with all their strength to try to stop them.
Gradually, the firepower on the wall increased a lot, and the cannon fodder continued to fall to the ground with arrows, and the cannon fodder huddled together in horror, and the defensive circle began to shrink slowly.
When there were only four cannon fodder left, only a loud bang was heard, and the gate of the cottage fell slowly with shyness and unwillingness, like a big girl pushed by hooligans.
At the moment when the gate fell, Wang Yong quickly released a magic inside, and then grabbed the minotaur who was about to rush in, hid on both sides of the gate, and let the cannon fodder who came to support behind rush in first.
The goal of cannon fodder is to occupy the drawbridge over the river to the east, firstly to prevent the bandits from escaping through the drawbridge, and secondly, to leave an extra way for their own side to retreat. After the cannon fodder rushed into the cottage, there was a sound of ping-pong, crying dad and shouting mother, and the bows and arrows on the wall gradually became sparse, which should be trying to stop those cannon fodder.
After a while, after the battle inside was not so fierce, Wang Yong and the militia also rushed in to support the cannon fodder.
The militia's mission was clear, and as soon as they entered the inside of the cottage, they began to shoot at the fence with their crossbows.
Due to its range, the crossbow suffers from long-range firing with bows and arrows, but it exerts terrible lethality in close-range melee.
At such a close distance, the militia almost killed one stone, and quickly cleared the bandits on the wall, and then the militiamen quickly climbed the wall, hid behind bunkers, and began to unilaterally kill the bandits who were besieging the cannon fodder in the east.
Because most of the people were gathered there, and the density of people was very high, the militia could kill two or three bandits with a single arrow if they were lucky.
At this time, Wang Yong and Hongzhong had already fought with the boss of the Big Horn Bandit Group, that is, the middle-aged bandit who had just started shouting.
This bandit leader is a junior warrior, the fighting spirit he exudes is very rich in color, and his strength is also quite good, Wang Yong estimates that this product is stronger than Vani and Nuosen.
Although the bandit leader is extraordinary, he is also invincible with two fists and four hands, and under the siege of Wang Yong and Hongzhong, the bandit leader soon couldn't hold on.
Wang Yong's tactics were very effective, Wang Yong was responsible for the main attack, and Hongzhong was responsible for containing and repelling the bandit leaders who rushed over and prepared to get close, so as not to give him a chance to get close.
Wang Yong's three-line 'summoning heavenly' also brought a lot of trouble to the bandit leader, who only felt cold and hot for a while, and was paralyzed from time to time.
And whenever the bandit leader is paralyzed, Hongzhong, under the command of Wang Yong, will release the wind blade prepared in advance, although it is all resisted by the bandit leader with his fighting energy, but it also consumes a lot of his fighting energy.
In this way, the three of you fought back and forth for more than ten minutes, and it can also be said that Wang Yong bombarded the bandit leader for more than ten minutes, and the fighting spirit of the bandit leader was finally exhausted, and he was hit by Wang Yong's thunder and lightning system to summon heavenly, and was suddenly convulsed by the electricity's limbs, and he fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
Wang Yong let out a sigh of relief, and after cautiously walking over to check it, he kept sighing: "A junior warrior is a junior warrior, even if there is no fighting spirit, the defense is much higher than that of ordinary people. ”
The battle on the cannon fodder side was over, and with the support of the militia's crossbows, and with their boss being overturned, the bandits quickly lost the courage to resist and fled in all directions.
In this battle, Wang Yong really suffered heavy losses, the militia sacrificed six people, and the cannon fodder died so that less than forty people remained, which was still the result of boasting about their past support, otherwise none of these cannon fodder would have survived.
The Big Horn bandit regiment escaped a few people and captured more than 40 people, most of whom were wounded and could not fight again.
Looking at the messy battlefield and corpses, Wang Yong sighed, and then ordered Da Blowi to command the cleaning of the battlefield, organize personnel to sentry and repair the gate, while Wang Yong, Lei He, and Carl were sweeping in the cottage.
The Big Horn bandit group was very wealthy, and Wang Yong collected more than 10,000 gold coins, more than 200 pieces of jewelry, and some other valuables.
In the room of the bandit leader, three magic crystals were also found, one of the water system and two of the earth system, which were directly confiscated by Lei He.
But it's a pity that there isn't much food here, I don't know who lit the food just now, and in the end there were only more than 20 bags of food, which made Wang Yong itch his teeth.
Wang Yong: They don't have much food now, and Mo Li has not come back when he goes out to buy food, so Wang Yong decided that before Mo Li rushes back, the food of the cannon fodder will be halved, and he will let his people eat first.
Dejectedly, he walked around again and found more than 80 horses behind the cottage, which made Wang Yong's mood improve.
When I returned to the small square of the cottage, several minotaurs had already reinstalled the gate and added a lot of iron sheets to it, which looked much stronger than before.
Wang Yong turned his head and saw more than a hundred corpses piled together, frowned, and then ordered Carl to bring some people to transport the corpses to the back of the mountain and find a random place to bury them.
Wang Yong came to a wall, looked at the wounded gathered here, and thought with a worried face: "There are no more than sixty people who can fight now, if the Dongshan bandit group really comes, then it will be troublesome."
Although the Dongshan bandit group does not have any masters, if they really want to do it, although they can defend the cottage, the casualties will be greater. If there are not enough people, I don't know if there will be strength to force the rest of the bandits to come to negotiate in the future, and now I only hope that Vani's side can solve it quickly, and then come over to meet. ”
After about an hour, Karl rushed back, and when he saw Wang Yong, he said, "Boss, when we were burying the corpses, the sentry on the hill found a group of people riding horses coming to us from a distance. ”
Wang Yong's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Do you see clearly? Is it Vani them?" Karl shook his head and said: "I can't see clearly, but it can definitely not be Vani them." ”
Wang Yong's heart suddenly broke out when he heard this, the worst happened, if the estimate is good, this group of people should be the members of the Dongshan Bandit Group.
Wang Yong frowned and asked, "How far are they from here?" Carl pondered and replied, "It is estimated that it will be here in more than twenty minutes." ”
Wang Yong frowned, and said to Karl: "You lead people to step up the handling of the fighting marks on the wall, hide all the wounded, clean up the blood on the ground, and then let those who can still fight gather and issue crossbows to them to use." After speaking, he took out fifty hand crossbows from the space ring and handed them to Carl.
Karl hesitated, then nodded. Wang Yong knew what Carl was afraid of, if the cannon fodder rebelled with crossbows, the consequences would be serious, but now there was no other way, so he had to give it a go.
Wang Yong then instructed: "Pour more poison into those cannon fodder, and the dosage will be controlled in three hours." Find a few more badly injured bandits to demonstrate, and let them see what the potion looks like when it happens, the time is urgent, and the action must be fast. Carl said 'yes' and ran off to get on his errands.
Lei He had already heard what Wang Yong meant, so he said: "That's fine, let's gamble, let the bandits in first, and then surround them to fight, it's better than waiting for them to attack or run away, but I'm afraid they won't be fooled." ”
Wang Yong also said worriedly: "Yes, but as long as the bandit leader of Dajiao is willing to cooperate with us, I am eighty percent sure that the bandits will take the bait." After speaking, Wang Yong pulled Lei and went to the place where the two bandit leaders were being held.
The boss of the Big Horn Bandit Group is called David, and after Wang Yong poured a large amount of poison on him, he finally gave in and agreed to cooperate with Wang Yong to trick the Dongshan Bandit Group in.
David summed up in his heart: "Since I am already like this, it is not bad to pull the backs of Dongshan people by the way." If Dongshan's people win, it can be regarded as revenge for me. ”
When Wang Yong assigned their respective tasks and stepped onto the wall, he could already see a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, mixed with the chaotic sound of horses' hooves.
Wang Yong put a dagger against David's waist and said in a threatening voice: "If you dare to play tricks in a while, I guarantee that you will be the first to die." ”
David's hands didn't connect, and after listening to Wang Yong's words, he nodded hurriedly, shook his two noodle-like arms and said, "I won't play tricks, I don't want to die yet." ”
Wang Yong turned to look at the suspension bridge on the east side, where Lei and some of their own people had been arranged by Wang Yong.
Wang Yong planned so, in case there was a real fight, and if he hadn't done anyone before, Regan and his own people could escape from the drawbridge, which could be regarded as a back road prepared by Wang Yong.
Lei Xiang saw Wang Yong looking over to his side, and made a victory gesture to Wang Yong, Wang Yong smiled and responded with a victory gesture. These two gestures contain each other's blessings and a desire for victory.
Soon, the Dongshan bandit group had arrived near the cottage and stopped not far from the cottage.
Wang Yong looked at this bandit team, there were about 100 people in this team, each of them was wearing a leather armor, carrying a big sword, and a small round shield hanging on the horse, seeing that this equipment was much better than ordinary bandits.
At this time, a horse ran out of the team, and on it sat a skinny and obscene-looking bandit in his thirties.
The person who came craned his neck and shouted to David on the wall: "David, we have come to support you as agreed, but the conditions you gave before must be changed, and the three thousand gold coins you said before have been changed to five thousand gold coins." As soon as the words fell, Wang Yong saw a faint green light emitting from the man's body.
Wang Yong looked at David with puzzled eyes, Wang Yong had already inquired about it, the Dongshan Bandit Regiment did not have a combat profession, but the person in front of him was clearly a junior warrior, which made Wang Yong and David puzzled.
Wang Yong touched David with a dagger and whispered, "What's the matter?"
David knew what Wang Yong was asking, but he didn't answer, but opened his mouth and said to the people below: "Led, I congratulate you on your successful promotion to a junior warrior, the five thousand gold coins you said are no problem, and the current Dongshan bandit group is worth this price." Then he shouted to the man next to him, "Open the gate and let our allies in." Then he descended the wall and came to the open gate to meet the bandits.
Led looked at it carefully, and found nothing wrong, so he was a little proud, and rode his men into the cottage with a big grin.
