Many bandits who were originally hesitant and fearful saw the two leading brothers of Tianshi Dao charging first. They did not hesitate anymore and followed behind them and rushed to more than a hundred steps away. Those who were still kneeling
The people in the Wulin area who were on the ground, like frightened sheep, jumped up from the ground one after another, crying and running towards the rear of the Jin army. Even the wheelbarrows and packages no longer wanted
He threw it on the ground, just hoping to survive.
Hu Longshi stamped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Folks, don't panic, don't be chaotic, our military formation is not allowed to enter, you go around the formation, we can protect you from the thieves' pursuit!"
As he spoke, he shouted to the archers under the tower: "Everyone, pay attention, cover the escape of these people. When the thieves approach, shoot them with arrows and drive them away!"
In this life-and-death rush, the people of Wulin ran outside the rear army's defense line, about a hundred or two hundred paces away. Since the rear army had not fought, they had sufficient time to set up a defensive line.
, they all built fences with wooden stakes and connected them with ropes, which began to look like camps. The archers were guarding behind these wooden fences and could see the situation clearly. As the distance got closer, these refugees
The appearance of the common people can also be seen clearly. Those running in front are mostly old and weak women and children, while one or two hundred strong men are holding farm tools such as hoes, wooden sticks, and pitchforks, dragging behind. When necessary,
They could only turn around and fight against the heavily armed bandits to buy some time for their wives and children to escape.
The bandits who followed behind also followed these people, getting closer and closer. When the people fled to about a hundred paces in front of the Jin army's fence, they also caught up to within fifty paces, and some even stopped behind.
The man had already turned around, raised the farm tools in his hands, and roared at the pursuers behind him to attack them.
Wei Liujin burst into tears. His two sons had already turned around to fight, and he suddenly knelt down about ten steps outside the formation, facing Hu Longshi on the arrow tower, and cried: "Little General Hu, little General Hu
I beg you to send troops to save everyone. We just want to join the battle to save our lives. We people will never cause chaos to the army. These young boys can also fight and work!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of screams from behind. He turned around and saw six or seven villagers already lying in a pool of blood. After all, these villagers had neither combat skills training nor weapons.
People are like lambs in front of hundreds of bandits. One of his sons was also pierced through the heart by Taoist Songfeng's sword, and fell down with a look of reluctance!
A woman next to Wei Liujin, who must have been the son's wife, fell to the ground crying, and a child of about two years old in her arms was also crying loudly. The two or three hundred people still in front of the formation
The old, weak, women and children were all crying here. Even the most hard-hearted people would be heartbroken when they saw this scene.
With tears in his eyes, Hu Longshi gritted his teeth and said: "Hurry up and shoot arrows to support the fighting people. Uncle Wei, hurry up and ask the men to withdraw. Come here, don't fight with the monsters and thieves. We won't go out in battle, but in
Here, we can protect you from demon thieves."
Following his words, there was a hail of arrows in the rear army formation. Probably because they saw the tragic slaughter of these people by the bandits, it aroused the anger of the soldiers. These arrows were shot with extra force, and were even more powerful than the ones shot by the bandits.
The usual distance was farther, and he actually flew a hundred steps away and landed a dozen steps behind the fighting line. More than a dozen bandits who were cheering behind with swords were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
The bandits who were fighting in the front were also frightened and did not attack as crazily as before.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the strong men who had lost sixty or seventy men, led by one of Wei Liujin's remaining sons, turned around and fled to their own side, which was more than ten steps outside the camp.
In that open space, there were nearly a hundred corpses of villagers and more than a dozen corpses of bandits lying there. A few injured people who were still breathing and moaning on the ground were stabbed with swords and swords by the bandits in a rage.
, chopped into pulp, and the people here saw their eyes bursting with fire, but they had no choice but to watch all this happen.
Taoist Matsukaze and Master Kuroishi had already picked up their shields. They were stabbing and finishing on the ground while waving their shields to block the flying bows and arrows. At this distance, the bows and arrows themselves were already close to the limit of their range and had almost no lethality.
, even if he blocked it with a shield like this, it would bounce off easily. Along with the bandits behind him, although the bows and arrows in the Jin army's rear formation were still firing, they could no longer do any actual damage to these thieves.
.
Taoist Songfeng waved his shield and sword at the same time, beckoning the sergeants behind him to step back again. After retreating dozens of steps and out of the range of all the bows and arrows of the Jin army, he put down his shield.
, laughed loudly: "Brothers, have you seen that the Jin army did not have the courage to chase out of the formation, and they did not even dare to open the gate of the formation and take these villagers in. They have been frightened by the warriors of the divine sect.
They are all cowards who are as timid as mice and have nothing to fear."
Master Heishi also laughed: "Senior Brother Songfeng, the Jin army is indeed a coward. However, these villagers are staying within the bow and arrow range of their formation. Now we can't go over to kill them. Is it possible that they are here?"
Rest here and monitor them?"
Taoist Songfeng shook his head, looked at the bandit leaders around him, and said, "Do you agree with what Junior Brother Heishi said, just stay here and watch?"
A gangster with a big beard and two scars on his face said in half-baked Chinese: "Isn't this just asking the wolf to look at the mutton in front of him, but he can't eat it? It's too impatient, so why not
Just leave!"
Another gangster with braided hair, who looked like he was not a Han, also said, "That's right, these Jin soldiers are cowards and don't dare to come out. Otherwise, we will also shoot arrows. Hehe, these villagers have no shields to stop them."
Shoot them all to death with arrows, so that no one will dare to go against us in the future."
The other bandits laughed loudly, rubbed their palms constantly, and said: "Yes, we also have bows and arrows and crossbows, which can shoot these guys to death. According to our rules, these fleeing sheep cannot be let go.
Otherwise, it will be unlucky the next time you rob."
