Bai Xihong interjected: "They must be unwilling to accept it. They have paid such a heavy price in casualties but got nothing. How can they just give up? If they come again, we will never let them go back alive! If it weren't for those pig-headed men who restrained them when they started the war.
If you kill Mr. Little, you might be able to win today. After defeating the bandits, you must report to the city and take care of those pig-headed men!"
Bai Xihong was also one of the "masters" who commanded battle formations in the village. After the war, he gathered in this warehouse to rest with everyone and did not return to his home.
Huwa frowned and said, "What's going on with the Shangao Clan? They listened to the advice and abided by the agreement, and did not join the bandits in attacking Baixi Village. Otherwise, how could we still sit here and talk?"
In fact, those pig-headed men left later than the rogue bandits, and it took a lot of effort to dig out the hillside. After the rogue bandits had retreated, they left, carrying sacks full of potatoes and surrounding the clan leader Zhutou San.
Those pig-headed people were simple-minded and practical in their work. Huwa asked them to dig potatoes and carry them back to pay off the old debt owed by Baixi Village. Since the clan leader had agreed, they dug the potatoes and carried them home honestly.
Bai Xihong said bitterly: "When is the best time for them to come? At this critical moment in Baixi Village, not only did they refuse to save them, but they also took advantage of the situation and robbed all the potatoes planted by the villagers on the west slope.
.If you act like this, you can be considered an accomplice of the rogue bandits!"
Tian Xiao said: "You can't save them even if you die? You can't say that! You and I know very well how Baixi Village treated the Shanjiao people in the past? Now they listen to Mr. Xiao's advice and don't take the opportunity to retaliate. They forgive after accepting compensation.
This is already very rare compared to what we have done in the past.
If not for this, Baixi Village might have suffered a genocide at this moment. We are all grateful to Mr. Xiao for his great contribution in persuading the Shanjiao Tribe to retreat. It was our own fault that caused others’ resentment. Do you still want to
Do people take the initiative to help you? If you were Zhu Sanxian, would you help your enemies and let your own people die under the swords of rogue bandits?"
The old man's words are very reasonable. This is not ordinary things like helping, building a house, borrowing some food, etc. Facing that group of fierce bandits, although the ordinary Shanjiao people are strong, they do not have regular soldiers.
A weapon, if you rush to fight, you will pay a heavy price of casualties. There is already a grievance. It is simply a daydream to expect others to risk their lives for you!
How can you resent others because your daydreams have not come true?
Huwa said: "After this incident, no matter how Baixi Village reports to the city, please do not involve the Shanyao Tribe. Not only that, you will not be able to deal with the Shanyao Tribe like before in the future. Otherwise, if something happens again, I'm afraid no one will
Help Baixi Village."
Bai Xihong was still a little unwilling, but he could only reply: "Since the young gentleman has spoken, Baixi Village should obey."
Several people discussed the situation of today's battle again. The rogue bandits were unexpectedly strong. The masters who came obviously included a fourth-level monk and two third-level monks. One of the third-level monks was injured in the thigh by Shigure today.
, although it is not fatal. But it will be difficult to go into battle again in the short term. What is really scary are those ordinary bandits, their skills are not ordinary at all.
In Baixi Village, in addition to Huwa, Beixi, and Yunxi, the three monks who are above the third realm, Lingbao, Baixihong, and Tian Xiao are also masters in leading battle formations; but in the ranks of rogue bandits, people like them
There may be nearly ten "masters".
With Huwa's eyesight, he could judge more clearly that the eleven bandits who attacked Shigure's defensive position were led by a master of the Three Realms. At least six of the other ten had become Kaishanjin, and three of them had
He might even have mastered Wu Ding Gong. Shigure himself was just a warrior who had mastered Wu Ding Gong. He led twenty villagers armed with spears and had gone through simple training. It was impossible to stop them.
There are about fifty bandits in total. If calculated based on this, their strength is really amazing. The combat effectiveness of Lingbao, Tian Xiao, Shigure, and Bai Xihong is only at the level of the elite warriors among the bandits.
Fortunately, this group of bandits hid their identity and sneaked here. They did not carry long weapons or bows, so the villagers' spear array had the advantage of attacking from a distance. However, this group of bandits had many masters, well-trained, and capable of fighting.
The formation's advance and retreat were coordinated very skillfully, but the villagers still paid a huge price in casualties.
The villagers had repelled a strong enemy today and were more confident in their final victory. However, when the experts analyzed the battle situation, they became more frightened the more they discussed. Beixi said with concern: "The rogue bandits were repelled today.
It was also because they underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. But after they returned and analyzed the battle situation, they also found that we did not have many experts. If we come up with countermeasures, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to cope."
Yun Xi also said: "When those people fought, they not only protected their injured comrades to evacuate from the battlefield, but also took away the bodies of their fallen comrades in the end. This was by no means a mob, there should be strict orders. And after a long period of
practice."
Lingbao said in a dull voice: "The reason why they didn't leave the body behind is also very simple. They covered their faces and didn't want to be recognized. They took the body away to prevent their origins from being exposed."
Bei Xi: "What is the origin of this group of people! The more I think about it, the more I feel chilly in my heart. What do you think?"
Huwa slowly said: "No matter what the identity of this group of people is, they are just bandits who came to loot the village at this moment. Can they change the facts if they take off their masks? It is useless to think about this too much. It is better to recharge your batteries.
Get ready to fight."
Beixi asked again: "But is it worth the price they paid?" This is also a question. The magic weapons in the cellar in the backyard of the patriarch Bai Xiying's house are of course of extraordinary value, but they have to use such a strong force and pay such a big price for them.
The losses are somewhat outweighed by the gains.
Lingbao replied: "The reason is very simple, because they never thought in advance that they would pay such a price... What I am most worried about now is that they organized night attacks by experts. The villagers' gun formations cannot take advantage of them, so we will
Passive."
The original plan of the rogues was to let the pig-headed men rush into Baixi Village and cause chaos. They took advantage of the chaos to grab things and left. They thought it would be as easy as picking things out of a bag. Even if the pig-headed men did not cooperate, they would not be able to deal with these villagers with their strength.
There would be no casualties, but unexpectedly they encountered such resistance.
Huwa added: "They didn't bring bows and arrows, but we did. Lingbao and Shigure both came with bows and arrows. Shigure is no longer here. Bai Xihong, you should be able to shoot, right?"
Tian Xiao interjected: "I can shoot arrows."
Bai Xihong replied: "I also have bows and arrows at home, but what the village lacks are archers."
Lingbao analyzed: "We are in close combat. Ordinary archers are of little use against this group of sword and shield soldiers. Xiaobo, Bai Xihong, I, and I will prepare our bows and arrows first."
At this time, Tian Xiao took out a tube of feather arrows from behind, handed it to Huwa and said: "Mr., these are the arrows you shot today. I asked the villagers to find them as much as possible. Unfortunately, only six were recovered, and one of them was
The branch is damaged."
Beixi also exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the magic arrows shot by the young gentleman were so amazingly powerful, and I didn't expect that each of these feathered arrows was a treasure. One was damaged in this battle, and six were lost. What a pity!"
...Bai Xihong, how does your Baixi Village plan to compensate the young gentleman?"
Huwa's feather arrows are things left by the people of the Yu tribe. Shanye selected the best ones and processed them with his magic power. The arrow shafts are light and tough and the arrow clusters are sharp. They are difficult to damage under normal circumstances.
But it is not absolutely indestructible.
Today's battle was very fierce. One of the feather arrows was cut away by the swordsmanship of two bandits who had mastered the martial arts. The bentwood arrow shaft had cracks, and the arrow clusters made from animal teeth were also chipped and could no longer be used.
Use it no more.
There are still six feather arrows that should have been inserted into the shields and bodies of the bandits, and were taken away by them when they retreated. The reward promised by Baixi Village to these masters was only one magic weapon plus two treasure weapons for each person.
In this battle, Huwa destroyed one treasure and lost six treasures. The price should be compensated by Baixi Village.
Huwa himself didn't care about this, but Beixi brought it up for him. Bai Xihong said with a gloomy face: "After defeating the bandits, I will try my best to find all the arrows lost by the young gentleman. The trophies obtained by defeating the bandits will also be recovered.
Gentlemen, please choose first. If there is any loss, we will use another treasure to compensate."
This young man is very thoughtful and has already thought about trophies. The long knives and short knives worn by the bandits are very valuable just based on their materials. Even leather armor, shields and other items are also valuable. And the three leaders have
The weapons used were all real magic weapons, even the two Third Realm monks were no exception, which looked a bit eye-catching.
Although he has no ability to control weapons in the third realm, he can still use the magic weapon as a flying sword, which is still very powerful. Bai Xihong is worried that he cannot afford to pay for the loss of Huwa. Even if he can afford to pay, the price is still too high.
As soon as I thought about it, I thought of the trophies after defeating the bandits.
But Huwa waved his hand and said: "They are thinking about your Baixi family's things. This battle has not been won yet, and you are starting to think about their things again. Why bother?... I did not ask you to compensate. What you want to do will be discussed later.
, now it’s better to think more about strategies to retreat from the enemy.”
Lingbao also said: "The magic weapons belonging to the rogue bandits were probably stolen from previous raids on the villages. Afterwards, we should report them to the city to find out their identities and let the city decide how to deal with them."
…
All the experts and villagers need to recharge their batteries, but they cannot relax their vigilance, because the rogues are still on the other side of the stream. After training, the young and strong villagers who can still fight with guns have been reorganized into eighteen gun formations. But they
It is impossible to gather and set up defenses all the time. Send people to take turns to guard at night to prevent sudden attacks by rogue bandits. Others will go to bed and rest after they have eaten.
