How is this going?
The leader of the Iron Spear Village couldn't believe his eyes, but the remaining rationality in his mind told him that something big was going to happen. What was the relationship between the caravan that he and his group had been chasing for a long time and the officers and soldiers? These officers and soldiers were really from his own village.
The leader invited him to help? But the captain leading the army was named Du Fengcai, and he had indeed had a drink with the leader. I was not mistaken!
Du Feng, the captain stationed in Wushan County, glanced at Xu Jingzong next to him and sighed in his heart. All his information was in the hands of Xu, or to be precise, in the hands of the poisonous general Hou Ye. He had no choice. Li
Although the family treats him well, one of his concubines even comes from a collateral line of the Li family, but she is only a concubine and a collateral line, and the Li family has always looked down on generals like me who have been killed on the battlefield. This time, they took the opportunity to join the family.
Under the command of that poisonous general, although the poisonous general's foundation is shallow, such a person has a bright future. It depends on the long-term perspective, so this may not be a bad thing.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Du Feng withdrew his gaze from Xu Jingzong's expressionless face, and sat on his horse indifferently, looking at the person leading the group of nearly a thousand bandits. The other party recognized him. How could he not recognize him?
This person is the second-ranking figure in the Tiejian Village after Guo Tiegiang, the leader of the Dazhai. He is known as the big leader. His name is Ma Lixiong. He is not weak in martial arts and ability, but it is a pity.
Du Fengcai took ten steps forward on his horse and shouted sternly: "Bold thieves, you dare to gather a crowd to rebel and attack the county. Today, Japan will make sure you have no chance of returning. We will capture you and torture you severely. We must find out the mastermind behind the scenes."
.”
Ma Lixiong, the leader of the Iron Spear Village, finally felt that something was wrong. While the officers and soldiers were charging, he suddenly drew his saber and pointed in the direction of the officers and soldiers, "The whole team is fighting, the whole team is fighting! Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The bandits from Tiejianzhai who were running at the front ran back five times faster than the chasing caravan. As they ran, they shouted "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The officers and soldiers went crazy.
Yes, they want to kill us!"
Some of the bandits who were tired from running and were sitting on the ground to rest without any appearance changed their faces and stood up one after another, looking panicked.
There are three thousand officers and soldiers in Wushan County, including five hundred cavalry and two thousand five hundred infantry. At this time, there is no clever tactical formation to attack these nearly one thousand bandits. It is just five hundred cavalry charging in front and two thousand five hundred infantry behind.
They screamed and charged, but just like that, compared to the bandits in Iron Spear Village, their phalanx looked much stricter, and it was so dark that it looked like a huge steel plow.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Weapons fell from the hands of the minions one after another to the ground, splashing up pieces of dust.
In the face of the sudden fierce battle, the first reaction of the bandits in the Iron Gun Village was not to go ashore and form a formation to fight, but to stand there blankly, with their legs trembling, their eyes straight, and their mouths so big that they could
Just pop in an egg.
All this time, the leader of their big village and several leaders have told them that the officers and soldiers are one family with them, and that the Li family of Longxi is supporting everyone behind them. Just now, the big leader and several leaders also said that the leader of the big village and the captain of the army on the opposite side are
We had a drink together, but why did we do it right away?
"Don't panic, don't panic, come closer to me and form an array. Come quickly and form an array!" In the open wilderness, the voice of Ma Lixiong, the leader of Tiejian Village who is responsible for troop training, sounded particularly lonely. He once served as a soldier in the Sui Dynasty.
He was a soldier, and once reached the position of regimental leader, but he offended a noble man in the army and was forced to flee the army. He worked incognito as the second-in-command in the Iron Spear Stronghold. He had actually been on the battlefield and fought against the Turks.
However, the enemy army was well prepared, and the weird caravan before was clearly a bait, and he had obviously fallen into a trap! He remembered the recent prophecy about the Li family in Longxi, and he had a vague understanding, and he couldn't help but secretly understand it.
He scolded: "You big guys are plotting against each other. What does it have to do with us little people? You insist on dragging us into it."
Ma Lixiong felt a little wronged and aggrieved.
However, now is not the time to feel aggrieved. I usually practice very diligently with more than a thousand people in the village, but I have not fought with officers and soldiers for many years. It is natural for thieves to be afraid of officers and soldiers, and they are already timid before fighting.
What's more, chasing the caravan all the way consumes a lot of physical energy for the brothers under his command, and most of them are infantry. The opponent has five hundred cavalry. Even if they want to run, two legs can't run as fast as four legs!
"Array up, come over and form up. Each of us is carrying a life. If we are captured by the army, no one will survive. Don't even think about surrendering."
"Array up, form up, everyone shoulder to shoulder. If they don't give us a way to survive, we will have to fight our way out!"
At the critical moment, the other leaders of Iron Spear Village also tried their best. One by one, waving steel knives, they stumbled back and forth, constantly pushing the frightened minions towards Ma Lixiong.
They were concentrated there. Anyone who dared to stand there in a daze would be stabbed in the head if they saw them.
"ah--!"
"Ah——! Rao..."
“Mother—!”
The screams sounded quickly, faintly suppressing the noise of the horses' hooves. Reminded by the steel knives and blood, the minions finally managed to regain some consciousness, pushed each other, and moved towards Ma Lixiong step by step.
Get closer.
No one wants to walk too fast. As long as the urging behind them is a little far away, minions will immediately try to stand still and look for opportunities to escape. There are officers and soldiers on the opposite side! There are more people than them, so they will definitely not be able to defeat them, and even if they do, they will not be able to defeat them.
So what if we can survive the fight? Are we really rebelling?
As the officers, soldiers and cavalry continued to approach, the momentum was so frightening that the minions trembled, their legs and feet became weak, and their bodies trembled like sorghum in the autumn wind.
"Anyone who dares to run away will be killed! Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed! Anyone who dares to drag his feet will be killed!" The sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer hit his scalp. Ma Lixiong suddenly turned red and rushed forward with a roar.
Several bandits who were about to escape were chopped to death with a knife.
"Array up, come here and form up as I usually do when I take you to train. Whoever disobeys orders, I will kill him first!" Seeing the big leader Ma Lixiong personally supervising the battle, all the big and small bosses were red-eyed. They followed closely.
Behind the leader's horse, he rushed into the crowd and started killing the slow-moving minions.
More blood splattered, and more minions fell down screaming. Under the almost crazy slaughter, the minions were forced to show their usual bravery as bandits. Before the officers and soldiers could kill them, they cried and howled.
Crowded under the banner of the big leader, they are like a group of ants in a torrent.
