Needless to say, the old camel was riding a horse and could see clearly. In the darkness behind his team, there were vaguely unknown numbers of people appearing, and the sound of "swish, swish, swish" arrows piercing the air
The sound kept going, and the screams from his brothers could not be heard.
It turned out that it was Shang Yi who led the main regiment and the auxiliary regiments from Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village who arrived and formed a formation behind the bandits. The archers led by Jiang Yiqu also lined up in a row.
, forty longbows were activated together, firing arrows at the bandits. The bandits were all focused on attacking the village at this time, and were unprepared for what was behind them. In addition, the longbows had a long range and strong penetrating power, and suddenly
Many thieves fell to the ground. When other thieves saw it, they also ran forward desperately, hoping to get out of the range of their bows and arrows.
At this time, Old Luotuo couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that someone would attack behind his back, and there seemed to be a lot of bows and arrows. He didn't care about attacking the village anymore and hurriedly gave an order. All the minions immediately turned around to fight the enemy who was attacking from behind.
But more than two thousand people are not a small number, and now they are all noisy and chaotic. The sound cannot be transmitted far at all. Only the hundreds of bandits around Lao Tuo can hear the order and turn around to prepare for the battle, but the rear team
But the bandits didn't hear it and kept running forward. As a result, the people and horses crowded in front and behind, and became a mess.
The old camel was so angry that he yelled loudly in the team and chopped down two young men who were running around. This was able to stop the chaos and basically turn the whole team around. But the regiment soldiers
The bows and arrows are really powerful. There are not only long bows, but also 60 short bows. Once they get close to the range of 50 steps, the density of the arrows will double. The thieves are originally bullies and fear the strong, so they attack continuously.
The second time, they were shot back by the regiment soldiers with bows and arrows. Instead, they lost nearly a hundred people.
At this moment, the gate of Qingshui Village suddenly opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and a group of soldiers came out of the village and attacked the rear group of the bandit soldiers. It turned out that Tang Zhen saw the main group arriving, and the bandit soldiers
They all went home to fight the main group. The defense was empty and it was a good opportunity to attack. So they immediately led five small auxiliary groups and fought out of the village.
Old Luotuo was also shocked. Now the bandits were being attacked from both sides. He didn’t know how many people there were in the village. Could it be that he was going to end up here this time? After thinking about it, he turned back to fight and killed them from the village.
It was impossible for the troops to escape, so they had to fight desperately to find a way out from behind and escape.
So Old Luotuo yelled at the bandits around him: "Brothers, now we can only fight out from behind and fight with them."
"Yes, let's fight. Let's fight with them."
"Kill, kill to find a way out."
"Swish, swish, swish" As the bandit soldiers launched a counterattack, the long archers also hurriedly stepped up their shooting. When the bandits came within fifty steps, the short archers also joined the archery group. For a moment, the arrows were like
Like raindrops, they shot at the bandits. They almost fell down in rows.
But at the critical moment of life and death, the bandits finally showed their ferocious nature as desperadoes. This time, everyone no longer feared death and no longer flinched. They rushed towards the militia team behind them despite the rain of arrows.
past.
When the thieves rushed to a distance of thirty steps, Shang Yi shouted loudly: "The archers retreat, and the spearmen step forward."
At this time, each long archer had shot almost a dozen arrows, and most of them had sore and numb arms. After hearing the order, they immediately put away their bows and arrows and retreated. The long archers led by Huang Zhen
The Gunners also pushed to the front.
Shang Yi gave the order again: "Throw the axe."
Each spearman immediately pulled out a double-edged hatchet from his waist and threw it forcefully at the charging thieves.
In fact, the dozen or so thieves who were at the front were all happy when they saw the archers of the militia retreating, because they all believed that these villagers were only good at bows and arrows. Once they came close to fight, the villagers would never attack.
They will be their own rivals. This has been proven in the past in Jinshanping Village and Qiliu Town.
However, at this moment, I could only hear the "Wooing" sound of the wind, and I didn't know what it was. It was spinning and flying towards me, and then screams were heard one after another, mixed with the sound of iron tools entering the flesh.
Blunt sound. The double-edged throwing ax is a very terrifying throwing weapon at close range. It can concentrate its weight on one point, coupled with the inertia of its own rotation, as long as it is hit, even if it is not a fatal part,
The harm caused to the human body is also very great.
After a round of flying axes, another 20 or 30 thieves fell immediately. At this time, Shang Yi ordered the spearmen to attack.
"kill--"
The sixty spearmen were divided into two rows, raised their spears, and charged towards the bandit soldiers together.
The screams immediately doubled in volume, and those who screamed were almost all thieves. The result of the hand-to-hand encounter once again subverted the past experience of the thieves. The spears used by the militia were more than one foot long.
The tip of the spear is one foot long, and it is not an ordinary double-edged blade, but has a triangular shape. It is not only extremely lethal, but also easy to pull out. Facing the rows of neatly thrusting spears, the thieves also
There was no way to effectively resist. Apart from retreating, the only result would be to be stabbed to death with a spear.
After the regiment soldiers stabbed the rebels, they immediately pulled out their spears and continued to sprint, draw out their spears, and thrust, just like in normal training. Even if someone fell in the queue, there would be companions behind to make up for it.
On both sides of the spear team are Zhao Yingjie's sword team, which also maintains a neat formation. The swords are raised and cut down, and with a flash of cold light, there will be blood.
In terms of personal force, most of the thieves are desperadoes who are used to robbing homes and houses. The regiment soldiers are just rookies who have just been trained for more than a month. The two sides are by no means on the same level, and the number of thieves is also small.
There are more than militia groups. But fighting a war is not just about adding up the number of people and individual combat effectiveness. It depends on the organization, discipline and overall consciousness of that party. In these aspects, although the militia groups are still classified as Lai Niao
At this level, there is no entry level from the thief soldier.
Therefore, once the team battle was carried out, the thieves had no power, but they could not use it at all. Instead, they were beaten back by the militia. Although the old camel tried desperately to say hello, it was of no avail. At the same time, behind the thieves, the regiments from the village fought out
The soldiers were also killed. Although their quality was inferior to that of the main group, they struck behind the rebel soldiers and fought so hard that they fell to the ground.
In fact, the bandits were able to grit their teeth and persevere at this time. With their numerical advantage, they might not be able to turn the tide of the battle. However, after encountering setbacks in close combat, the bandits were afraid of the weak and lacked organization and discipline. The weaknesses of the bandits were once again exposed. So,
They ignored the old camel's greetings and scattered one after another, escaping from the fields.
As soon as the militiamen saw the bandits running away, everyone was in high spirits and immediately chased after them. However, after more than a month of training, the militiamen had a certain sense of teamwork. When chasing, they basically maintained their
Team formation.
At this time, the sky began to turn white, and a new day was coming. In front of the village, all the bandits had fled, leaving only dead bodies, items abandoned by the bandits, and dozens of large vehicles everywhere.
, the animal pulling the cart. Shang Yi then ordered the men of the reconnaissance team to gather all the regiment soldiers back and stop pursuing them.
After the sun came out, the soldiers who had been pursuing each other came back one after another, and some teams captured the young bandits. They were all in high spirits and beaming, bragging to each other about how brave they had been on the battlefield just now.
Shang Yi gathered all the troops together and said loudly: "Folks, you have just experienced the first battle after the establishment of our militia. We relied on our own strength to defeat the bandits and protect our village.
We have lost our home and our relatives. You are all outstanding men."
The regiment soldiers immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers, and then shouted in unison: "Practice the regiment to protect yourself, protect the village and protect the people."
At this time, the village gate was also opened wide. Zhou Shiqi led the men, women, old and young villagers in the village to come out to welcome the militiamen who defeated the bandits and protected their village. Zhou Shiqi also expressed his gratitude to all members of the militia on behalf of the villagers. And the group
The soldiers looked at the faces of their relatives and villagers with gratitude, joy, and reverence, and a sense of pride could not help but arise in their hearts.
After a while, Huang Dongshan and Zhao Bingyi also came over and congratulated each other again.
The battle is won, but there are still many things to finish. Although the bandits have withdrawn, there are still a lot of them after all, and we don't know whether they will come again or whether they will go.
Attack Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village. Therefore, after congratulating each other, Huang Dongshan and Zhao Bingyi also took the auxiliary groups from their own villages back to continue to defend strictly. However, the main group still stayed in Qingshui Village for the time being.
There were also quite a few bandits killed in this battle. Although these bandits all deserved their death, it could not end just like that. Some of the bandits that were captured should still be reported to the government, who would come forward to deal with the aftermath.
That's good. At the same time, you can also ask the government for credit. This matter will naturally be handled by Zhou Shiqi, and Shang Yi doesn't need to worry about it.
The next step is to clean the battlefield, collect Long's corpses, guard the prisoners, collect the materials left by the bandits, and check the losses of the militia.
Since the regiment soldiers had stayed up all night and fought in the middle of the night, they were only focused on resisting the bandits at that time and didn't feel it. Now after the victory, they breathed a sigh of relief and found that they were tired and sleepy. Shang Yi
He also knew that the regiment soldiers had just started on the road and could not be too harsh on them, so they sent the rest of them back to rest. Those who were cleaning the battlefield, collecting Long's corpses, and continuing to guard the village could only be left behind.
The auxiliary group that did not go out to fight, the Youth League and other villagers came to do it.
