The officers and soldiers surrounding them did not respond to his people's calls, and the probing attacks still did not stop. Although they would be discovered immediately if they approached the village, this also meant that all the people in the village must be alert at all times.
I must cheer up all the time and dare not relax at all.
The casualties of his men were also calculated, and there were more than thirty casualties. This was only the opponent's first sneak attack. Seeing the soldiers who had been following him for a long time, turning into corpses and lying there, Hong Chengchou's eyes seemed to burst out.
Fire is coming.
Keep it! Keep it!
This is an order given to all of them. Everything will wait until dawn. There are countless enemies hidden in the darkness. It would be too risky to rush out hastily. He believes that with the combat power of his troops, if he wants to break through, he should not be able to break through.
People can stop themselves.
A few long hours passed, the sky gradually became brighter, and the vague figures around him could gradually be seen clearly. Hong Chengchou stood on the highest roof of the village, looking at the situation around him, his heart seemed to be filled with confusion.
Sunk to the bottom of the sea.
There were officers and soldiers everywhere in the front, back, left and right of the village. He made a rough estimate and found that the number was no less than a thousand. If the combat strength was similar to that of the enemy who attacked last night, the situation he was about to face would not be very optimistic.
What's even worse is that the other party has no intention of hiding their origins. Looking from here, the surrounding flags can be clearly seen, and it is the soldier he least wants to see - the Nanhai Guard!
I'm just trying to steal a little bit of your food, but why do you want to go out in force? Hong Chengchou thought hard, I didn't throw your children into the well, why do you want to put on such a fight-or-die attitude?
"Master, what should I do?"
Next to him, Hong Jiu, the head of his servant, also looked cautious at this moment: "We have been shouting, but the other party has been pretending to be dead. It seems that he is unwilling to give up!"
"It is also a capital crime to exclude friendly forces!" Hong Chengchou said with a livid face.
"Master, let's rush out then. At least, the younger one can rush out and call for reinforcements. Otherwise, we will be intercepted and killed here by these lawless guys, and no one will know what they have done!"
Hong Chengchou weighed it in his mind and realized that it might not be possible to break out of the encirclement. Even after breaking out, it would be difficult to resist the opponent's pursuit. There is a village here to rely on. The opponent failed to rush in last night. If he relies on this village to persist for a while,
, it should be no problem.
He took a deep breath and said to the head of his servant: "I'll give you all the fast horses. You pick a few brave and clever ones. I'll have people rush forward later. You can lead the people from there."
Go back, no matter how many people rush out, as long as they bring the news back to Guyuan, I and the brothers here will be saved!"
"Master, come with us!" Hong Jiu leaned into his ear and said softly: "The other side came prepared. Yesterday, when I fought with them, I felt that they were all powerful enemies. I really need to be ruthless.
Come and fight, let’s…”
"I can't leave!" Hong Chengchou said: "If I leave, the morale of the army will be dispersed. Besides, if you can rush out, the other side will not dare to do anything to me. Unless they want to rebel, it will be decided later.
, you go pick people and prepare horses, and when the fighting starts, you rush from the back of the village!"
Coming down from the roof, Hong Chengchou held a sword and began to organize his troops. The soldiers who had not slept all night looked a little tired. But at this moment, when Hong Chengchou started to organize the team, everyone understood that it was a matter of life and death, so they started to fight forcefully.
Spirit, holding their own weapons, began to line up at the entrance of the village.
If they were cavalry on the opposite side, they wouldn't be so confident. However, if they were on the opposite side, all of them were foot soldiers, so everyone would have a chance to touch each other. Sometimes, speaking with swords and guns is much more powerful than speaking with your mouth.
!
"Is there such a good thing?"
Gao Jin saw the officers and soldiers on the opposite side starting to gather at the entrance of the village. He couldn't believe his eyes. He had seduced the other side all night last night and the other side was hiding in the village and could not come out. He was really worried about how he would face Master Jiang's criticism today.
After all, he failed to capture the opponent in one night. Even if he had a reason not to lose soldiers, he seemed a bit incompetent.
Behind him, Hua Sanqian's face was even more happy. He didn't even need Gao Jin's orders and ran towards his firearms team with a squeak. After a while, various orders from the firearms team were heard in the crowd.
It rang.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following Hong Chengchou's order, more than a hundred people near the entrance of the village began to rush towards the officers and soldiers in front of them. The archers cruising on both sides no longer skimped on arrows and physical strength, and the bows and arrows in their hands flew towards the sky.
"Shield! Shield! Shield!"
Following the loud shouts from the opponent's array, a layer of shields suddenly turned up in the sky above the opponent's array. Arrows landed on these shields, making an extremely dull "duh" sound.
Except for a few arrows that fell, most of them were blocked by the shield.
Hong Chengchou's eyes twitched again. He didn't see a single archer in the entire army, but almost half of them were equipped with shields. Does the leader of the Nanhai Guard have any brains? He was so well defended and couldn't be killed.
The enemy has no use!
Moreover, they actually used leather shields. Compared with their leather shields, the wooden shields of the border troops were extremely shabby!
He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Oh no, you are so rich, why don't you just use an iron shield?"
The soldiers are approaching slowly. These soldiers of his are all veterans with rich battlefield experience. Slowly approaching the opponent's array will not only bring huge pressure to the opponent, but also save energy for the last few dozen steps.
Even greater strength was unleashed during the charge. The Hancheng Liu bandits who fought with them last time were already in disarray before such an array even approached.
Hong Chengchou looked at the battlefield and secretly estimated the distance in his mind. From the village exit to the opponent's formation, it was about two hundred steps. The opponent's hurried movement of men and horses in front of his formation seemed so slow in his eyes at this moment.
ridiculous.
One hundred steps!
That was the center line. Seeing that his troops had crossed this line, he was secretly excited!
Eighty steps, fifty steps!
The officer leading the team had already raised the long knife in his hand high, and the soldiers behind him also began to use their feet to rush towards the opponent's queue. The sudden cry of killing on the battlefield,
Suddenly it made him tremble slightly all over!
"Kill the thief!"
He raised his sword and shouted loudly!
The soldiers behind him also followed his voice and shouted loudly: "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!!!"
