The robbers did not attack the village at night, so most of the villagers had a good sleep and woke up full of energy and in good condition the next day.
Shang Yi came out of Ye Xingshi's house and happened to meet the villagers guarding the village wall. After yesterday's battle, the arrangements Shang Yi made before the war played a big role, so the villagers had confidence in him.
Da Zeng's attitude toward him was cordial and a little respectful. After meeting Shang Yi, everyone nodded and said hello to him.
Not long after, all the villagers gathered near the village wall again. Shang Yi asked everyone except those guarding the village wall to rest on the spot temporarily, because there was still a long time today. He had to conserve his energy as much as possible.
Then Shang Yi went to Tang Zhen and told him that it might rain in the past few days. Tang Zhen also thought it was very likely, so he had better make some preparations in advance. Villagers basically have rainproof raincoats and bamboo hats at home.
There is no need to worry about this. At the same time, Tang Zhen suggested that a few temporary shelters can be built beside the village wall to provide shelter from the rain for the villagers guarding the wall, and to protect the bows at the same time.
Shang Yi also nodded and was about to make arrangements when Jiang Yiqu on the wall said: "The robbers are attacking again." Shang Yi and Tang Zhen quickly put aside other things and stepped on the village wall to look outside.
I saw the bandits carrying many wooden ladders and planks, approaching the village wall again.
The robbers were not idle that night. They spent the whole night making fifteen wooden ladders, ten springboards, and twenty simple wooden shields. Zuoshanhu was very satisfied. And through yesterday
During the first battle, Zuo Shanhu also discovered that the terrain of this village was very good. It would be perfect if it could be used as his own mountain stronghold, so he vowed to capture this village today.
At the same time, in order to encourage the morale of the bandits, Zuo Shanhu gave an order to promote the person who entered the village first to be the second master, reward him with fifty taels of silver, and allow him to first select three women in the village. As expected, he was given a heavy reward.
, the robbers' energy was suddenly boosted, and seeing so many tools for attacking the wall, they were all confident. They immediately picked up the wooden shields, set up wooden ladders and planks, and headed towards the village wall.
Launched an attack.
Shang Yi first immediately ordered people to bring thirty oil cans that had been prepared in advance, put them on the village wall, and prepared to burn the wooden ladder. At the same time, he also ordered the villagers to prepare their bows and arrows, just waiting for the robbers to approach. This time the villagers
He was much calmer, his heart didn't panic, and his hands didn't shake. When the robbers came into shooting range, he followed Shang Yi's order and shot at the robbers' heads.
Due to yesterday's battle, the bodies of the deceased had not been removed, which greatly affected the speed of the bandits' advance. The villagers' arrows came and shot down many people at once. But this time the bandits were also prepared.
, one after another raised wooden shields, or put wooden boards on their heads to block the arrows. The killing effect was also much worse than yesterday.
After two or three consecutive rounds of arrow shooting, although dozens of bandits were shot to death, they still could not stop the bandits' advance. The bandits in the front row approached the river protecting the village.
Shang Yi immediately ordered the villagers guarding the village wall to stop shooting arrows, pick up their spears, and prepare to fight the robbers who climbed the wall. The villagers under the village wall continued to attack the robbers with projectiles.
The robbers laid planks on the village moat, then carried wooden ladders, rushed across the village moat, and came to the village wall. The villagers guarding the village wall all held long spears in their hands and were ready for battle. And the robbers
They leaned the wooden ladder against the village wall and began to climb up.
At this time, Shang Yi grabbed an oil can, aimed it at a wooden ladder, and smashed it down hard. The earthen jar hit the wooden ladder and immediately shattered to pieces. Then Shang Yi grabbed a torch and threw it down.
With a sound of "Hoo!", the fire immediately spread on the wooden ladder. Two robbers also had a lot of oil on their bodies, and the fire suddenly wrapped around their bodies, making them scream "Ouch!". The other robbers also
He gave up the wooden ladder in a hurry.
When other villagers saw this, they also followed suit, grabbing earthen jars and throwing them down randomly. Some hit the wooden ladder, some hit the robber directly, and some hit the ground. Shang Yi, Tang Zhen and others watched.
, I couldn't help but secretly sigh. The number of these earthen oil tanks is limited, and each one must be as effective as possible. It seems that the villagers still lack training if they can be thrown around like this. But it is too late to stop it now, and soon the villagers will
Throw away all thirty crude oil cans.
However, this move was also very powerful. In an instant, a sea of fire suddenly formed outside the village wall. A total of six wooden ladders and four springboards were burned. There were also more than ten robbers who were also on fire. They were dancing in chaos.
Some robbers panicked and fell into the village river, but were immediately pierced by wooden thorns inserted in the river. After a while, several corpses floated in the village river. The smell of burnt food was
, the smell of blood also spread outside the village wall.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the robbers immediately retreated with the remaining wooden ladders and springboards. The mountain tiger was furious with anger, drew his knife, chopped down the two fastest robbers, and then forced the robbers
Continue to attack.
The robbers were forced to have no choice but to set up wooden ladders and springboards to prepare for another attack. However, this time the robbers also learned to be smart. Before attacking, they soaked the wooden ladders and springboards in a small lake to prevent them from being attacked.
The villagers then attacked with fire. Some robbers jumped into the lake and soaked themselves in the water. In fact, it was late autumn and the lake was quite cold, but in order to save their lives, they didn't care much.
Shang Yi and others could see all this very clearly on the village wall. It seemed that the fire attack strategy could no longer be used. The next step was to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the bandits.
The bandits once again approached the village wall, set up wooden ladders, and climbed up the village wall. Shang Yi also held a long gun in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" He pointed at a head that had just appeared on the village wall.
The robber stabbed.
Although he had never practiced marksmanship, he was a good martial artist after all. The spear stabbed fast and hard, stabbing a bloody hole in the robber's throat. The robber screamed and fell down.
Go down the wooden ladder.
Shang Yi waved his spear and stabbed the robber on another wooden ladder. The robber was quite successful when he arrived. He stood up with a single sword in his hand and blocked Shang Yi's shot. But at this time Shang Yi
Tang Zhen, who was beside Yi, also stabbed him with his gun. The robber suddenly couldn't resist, and was stabbed in the chest by Tang Zhen, causing him to fall down the wooden ladder.
At this time, the rest of the villagers also raised their spears and stabbed the robbers who climbed the wall. Naturally, the robbers were not willing to sit back and wait for death. They also waved their weapons, trying to parry and face the robbers.
Climb up the wall.
But after the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the villagers were exposed to the enemy's weaknesses. Although the bandits were just a group of bandits, they were also used to robbing homes, killing people and stealing goods, and they were quite ruthless. Even though the villagers knew that the other party was a gangster.
Robbers, but when they really attacked, they were a little timid and didn't dare to be cruel. Therefore, many villagers were hacked to death by the robbers. Several times, the robbers almost attacked the wall and entered the village.
Fortunately, among the villagers, Tang Zhen, Jiang Yiqu, Bao Tonggang and others were very unambiguous and never showed mercy. They went back and forth to repair the leaks on the village wall, and finally blocked the bandits' attack.
But after fighting for more than half an hour, the villagers gradually became accustomed to close combat, and those who could stay on the village wall to continue fighting were all ruthless characters, so they gradually stabilized their position. Moreover, Shang Yi saw Tang
The townspeople were able to withstand it, and they were very relieved. At the same time, they commanded the villagers to take turns to defend the village wall to preserve their physical strength and prepare for long-term battles. They also transferred all the reserve youth teams to let them take responsibility.
Shooting arrows outside the wall.
Although the number of bandits was large, the only place available for fighting was the village wall, which was less than twenty meters long, and even within this twenty-meter village wall, there were only nine wooden ladders for the bandits to climb. Although the bandits
They also thought of many other ways, such as setting up ladders and climbing on poles, but the offensive still could not be fully launched, and the bandits' numerical advantage could not be used. Therefore, they could only crowd outside the village wall and look at the wall.
Sigh.
Moreover, the villagers were still shooting arrows outwards. In such a dense crowd, as long as the arrows fell, they would almost certainly hit. Therefore, some people in the bandit team kept screaming. But the mountain tiger still didn't do anything.
He was moved, holding a single sword, and supervising the battle from behind the team. Anyone who dared to retreat would be hacked to death without mercy.
The bandits launched attacks on the village again and again, but each time they were fought back by the villagers. A large number of corpses were left under the village wall, and even the village moat was filled with corpses in several places.
You can cross the river just by stepping on it. Moreover, the river water is dyed bright red, and even the entrance from the village river to the small lake is a bloody scene.
Many villagers who retreated from the village wall were covered in blood. They didn't know whether it was their own blood or the blood of the robbers. But after they got off the wall, they couldn't help but vomited. It was the women who brought it.
However, many people could not eat at all. At this time, we could see the difference. Shang Yi, Tang Zhen, Jiang Yiqu, Bao Tonggang and others, including some from the escort agency, performed much better. Fortunately,
With people like them always supporting the village wall, the robbers couldn't attack even though they tried their best.
The battle lasted for nearly three hours, and the bandits finally ran out of energy and had no choice but to retreat. Although Zuoshanhu was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops again.
After repelling the robbers this time, the villagers were far less excited than yesterday. Almost everyone was stained with blood, and many of them were killing people for the first time in their lives. Everyone fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
Angry, or still retching. This time the casualties among the villagers also increased greatly. A total of fifteen people died at the hands of the bandits, including eleven villagers and four people from other villages. Forty-one others were injured.
, thirteen people were seriously injured and could no longer fight.
While Shang Yi deployed manpower to guard, he walked to the villagers and constantly comforted and encouraged the villagers. The robbers were not scary. They did not invade the village for two consecutive days. He must continue to fight to defend his homeland. As long as he persists
