Chapter 571 Thunder and Howling
After the two teams met, they turned around and went down the mountain to meet the isolated Xiong Jiushan.
Before Han Qiguang came to see Xie Yuchuan, he sent troops in the direction of Xiong Jiushan. As soon as he arrived, he saw corpses and a messy battle scene along the way.
Hundreds of people did not dare to delay. They rode forward on horseback with swords in hand. On the way, they "picked up" some fish that had slipped through the net and cleaned them one by one.
They are not the kind of people who were brought out by Feng Chen, the magistrate of Yucheng, to look after homes and homes without any determination to suppress bandits.
They are the most disciplined and determined subordinates among the teams assembled by Han Qiguang and Xie Yuchuan.
Before the master left, he never said a word of mercy. They held broadswords in their hands, and when they raised the swords, the bandit heads rolled down under the hooves of the galloping horses.
Blood splattered, and the headless corpse fell into the underworld.
Under the horses' hooves, sand and soil rolled in.
As we got closer, there were bursts of shouts of killing from the front. The last person following the team heard the order in front, let go of the reins, and urgently sounded the flare in his hand.
Thunder roars into the sky——
"Rush!"
Hundreds of robbers roared to surround Xiong Jiushan and most of the exiles. After several rounds of tests and retreats, they found that although the weapons in their hands were strange and strong, these more than a hundred people were not strong enough to fight. After several tests, they could not find any strength. Any support force.
The bandit leader became bolder, and the two sides fought several times in close combat, but were lucky enough to escape due to the unexpected defense of the other side. After several trials and pondering, they were just minor tricks.
In terms of numbers, they have an absolutely overwhelming advantage. With this huge disparity, if they still can't defeat this group of people, wouldn't it taint their reputation as the top spot in Qinglong Mountain?
With a few long whistles, they united with the brothers' teams from all directions, trying to catch the hundred or so people and the packed carriages behind them from all directions.
After Xie Yuchuan led the team away, Xiong Jiushan followed the original plan discussed by several people and used the existing sufficient protective weapons to conduct mobile defense.
Capture the location suitable for defense, send people to firmly guard each key point, and use all methods to defend the enemy at any cost.
Taking advantage of the mountainous terrain, we delay the risk of being hijacked and wiped out, and wait for the right opportunity to counterattack.
The defensive weapons left by the gods of the Xie family are simple, but coupled with the orderly organization of offense and defense, they are extremely lethal.
Xiong Jiushan has never been on a real battlefield. Although he still doesn't know how to mobilize troops, for this kind of small confrontation with thousands of people, with his ability, it is more than enough to let go.
After the opponent approached several times to test and shouted arrogantly but was forced back, not only did the Qinglong Village thieves begin to adapt to their style of play, they even figured out the rules of the exiled team's defense and began to rush to the defense regardless of the cost.
This is also the situation that Xiong Jiushan is most worried about.
Even though several contact warning messages have been seen rising in the surrounding area.
But he didn't see General Xie's support arriving for a moment, and his spirit was always tense.
Whoosh whoosh——
Three messages pierced the sky in the distance——
Xiong Jiushan couldn't help but stand up when he saw the signal coming from the direction of Yucheng.
"Master Feng, it's done too!" His eyes burst out with joy, and he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
After waiting for a short time, I saw a ray of mutual response rising from the depths of the mountains.
Xiong Jiushan turned around happily and hurriedly strode to shout to the government officials and prisoners behind him whose nerves were so tense that they could collapse at any time.
Leaders from all parties gathered around him and asked eagerly: "Master Xiong, have the reinforcements arrived?"
Whether it's a caravan or people from the Chai family... no matter what kind of relationship they had with each other before.
But at this moment, when everyone is facing a common enemy, all thoughts are forgotten. There is only one thing that is most important at the moment.
"Master Xiong, what we have in hand can only last two more times at most. If the group of robbers gathers more and more, we may not be able to handle it with such a small number of people."
"Yes, if there is no more support, we will really have no way out if we retreat. It is a dead end over there. I think these bandits are not all unlearned and unskilled people. With their wheel skills, if they come with a few more This time, our advantage will be gone. Mr. Xiong, if the reinforcements still don’t arrive, why don’t we take a break and escape first to take a breather?” Someone suggested this.
"Inappropriate." Someone next to him disagreed. "This position is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, we have the magical weapon given by the gods. Only in this way can we defeat more with less and resist for a period of time. This group of thieves, in order to This time to clear us, we gathered people from all walks of life in the mountains, and they kept coming. We didn’t have any advantage in terms of numbers, let alone the people behind us. , most of them have never seen blood with their own hands. No matter whether it is the number of people or the momentum, if we throw away the geographical advantage and defeat the weak enemy, the final result may not be that we tear a hole and escape. Instead, they worked together to surround us and catch us all. It would be too late to regret it. ”
"This is not right, that is not right either. Can we just resist and wait for now? What are we waiting for?"
"Yes." Some people were also worried, "General Xie didn't bring many troops out. Even if they turned around and came back, I'm afraid the reinforcements would be a drop in the bucket."
"Don't argue, listen to Mr. Xiong. Didn't you already say that the reinforcements have arrived? We might as well be more patient. If everyone can endure it for a while, maybe the situation will be different."
"Yes, yes."
At this time, the words "reinforcements have arrived" are more invigorating than anything else.
However, before the reinforcements arrived at the signal, everyone was once again attacked head-on by the robbers!
But this time, Xiong Jiushan discovered that the opponent's routine had changed again!
I don't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the number of robbers attacking from below suddenly increased, as if there were suddenly many more people on the opposite side. Before they rushed up, countless rockets flew down from above their heads.
"No! They set fire, everyone, be careful!"
With a loud shout, Xiong Jiushan didn't see the reinforcements arriving before he hurriedly called for people to retreat to the rear.
The two sides suddenly fought together, and Xiong Jiushan ordered this battle to be fought with all weapons and equipment!
Both sides suddenly increased their offensive and defensive efforts, and the battle became tense.
Both sides suffered casualties. The places where the exiles were guarding were at low risk, and they were quickly defeated by the opponent's superior troops. If Xiong Jiushan hadn't ordered in advance to put all the defense forces on each defense point, the result would have been even worse. .
Just as Xiong Jiushan and others were retreating with their men, not far behind the enemy, a message smoke suddenly rose into the sky, and then several flying arrows fell into the robbers' camp.
The opposite side of my eyes suddenly collapsed.
Xiong Jiushan's eyes lit up, and suddenly he heard people behind him cheering: "The reinforcements have arrived! The reinforcements have arrived!"
