Chapter 70: For the Village, We Charge!
revealing a captivating beauty.She knows what beauty can bring to a woman who is powerless to protect herself.Along the way, she deliberately messed up her hair and smeared dirt on herself, making her...The young man fell straight to the ground before the villagers.
Suddenly, everyone was scared stiff and froze in their tracks.
"Run! I want to see if your legs are faster, or my arrows!"
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Tiger Brother's divine arrows are invincible!"
"Tiger Brother is mighty!"
The bandits brandished their swords and shouted.
After two people died in a row, the villagers were terrified and no one dared to leave.
The bandits, riding horses, circled around the village like herders driving sheep. Soon, they had gathered all the villagers together and drove them toward the center of the village.
The villagers' eyes were filled with tears, but they dared not speak out.
Outside the village, Zhong Tao was patrolling with his guard when he suddenly saw villagers repairing the road and bandits on horseback. His face changed instantly.
"Oh no, it's bandits!"
"Kong Liang, you go back quickly and tell Yang Lin! Tell him, sixteen bandits, all on horseback! Tell him...tell him to be careful!"
Zhong Tao originally wanted to say "let him run away quickly," but thinking of Yang Lin's personality, he knew that Yang Lin would probably not run. So he changed it to "let him be careful."
"Taoge, what are you guys going to do"
Kong Liang watched Zhong Tao nervously.
Zhong Tao's face was grim. "Go quickly! I'll figure something out here!"
"Good!"
Kong Liang didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the village.
The bandits were less than a hundred paces away. Despite this, the faces of the guards showed no fear whatsoever.
"Tao Ge, what should we do"
Everyone was waiting for Zhong Tao to make the decision.
Zhong Tao said seriously: “Our security guards are paid so much because we protect the neighbors and local people. Now that bandits have come, if we also run away, what use would our security team be”
We've fought bandits before, we can't back down in this battle!
"Are you afraid"
Everyone shook their heads, but their faces couldn't help but betray a hint of nervousness.
On the day the bodyguard team was formed, Yang Lin declared that if anyone died while protecting everyone, he would contribute thirty taels of silver as compensation!
"I, Zhong Tao, am also afraid of death, but behind us there are not only our parents, elders, fellow villagers, but also our own families."
"If we run, we'll leave our families behind for the bandits!"
"I believe Yang Lin keeps his word. My life, Zhong Tao's, is at stake today. If I die, my wife and children will have money to live on!"
Zhong Tao spoke, his hand holding a long spear, lying across his back.
He knew very well that these bandits were different from the last group who had come.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, horses were very valuable!
Even in the military, the number of cavalry is far less than that of infantry.
And these bandits, surprisingly each one was riding a horse. Just this alone was enough to show that these bandits were not easy to deal with!
He was a veteran of battle, and he knew that when facing a cavalry charge, infantry would be as fragile as paper under the same number of soldiers!
Now, there are sixteen bandits, and they only have nine.
Nine farmers with almost no combat experience, against sixteen vicious and mounted bandits. Naturally, Zhong Tao knew this battle was hopeless!
"Even if we can't stop the bandits, we have to buy time for our families behind us! Give them a chance to escape!"
The faces of the guards also grew heavy.
They each drew their weapons, lined up in a row, and used their bodies to block the road into the village!
Now their weapons are no longer the original farming implements, but have been replaced by spears and broadswords forged from refined iron in the blacksmith's forge.
But looking at the bandits getting closer and closer, he became more and more nervous...
What's going on
Black Tiger saw the guards from afar, blocking the entrance to the village, and frowned. "Who, who knows This, this Paoshan Village, strange, strange things really, really..." The Second-in-Command muttered.
The villagers also saw the guard unit.
Upon learning that the guard unit not only didn't run but stood at the village entrance, ready to fight the bandits to the death, a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts, and they all became excited.
The Black Tiger's face was changing between anger and uncertainty.
He saw the weapons in the bodyguard's hands and frowned even more.
In the past, wherever they went to plunder, who dared to resist They all meekly handed over their wealth and begged for mercy.
And this small mountain village gave him a feeling of unease!
At this moment, he was a little regretful for taking on this job.
However, the village was right before his eyes. He had come this far, and if he let a little bad feeling scare him away, then he wouldn't be Heihu!
"Second and Third Brother, how many people are you bringing Take care of these obstructionists for me!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Yes!"
The second and third masters immediately brought six men, galloping towards Zhong Tao and his group.
“Up!!”
Meanwhile, Zhong Tao also shouted loudly.
"
Get out of their way!
"
For the sake of Laoshan Village!
"Let's go!"
Zhong Tao, alone with a single gun, took the lead and rushed out first.
Even though he was just a private during his time in the army, he understood the saying "a single soldier is a bear cub, but a group of soldiers are a swarm of bears."
Whenever a general shouts, "Follow me!" and charges into battle, the soldiers become filled with passion and desperately follow him.
And if the general shouts "Charge!" but doesn't fight alongside his soldiers, they often lack motivation as well.
At this moment, Zhang Tao, holding his long spear, charged at the front.
Although he only had eight people behind him, he felt like he was leading thousands of soldiers charging into enemy territory!
"Charge!"
The guards also shouted in unison.
The black tiger's eyes narrowed slightly.
He also sensed Zhong Tao's aura, which was different from that of others.
However, the two sides collided for only a fleeting moment.
In just a blink of an eye, two guards in the palace were knocked down by the charging steeds and flung into the air.
Two others were hacked by the bandits' raised swords, screaming and falling to the ground.
Although the rest were temporarily unharmed, these bandits had already rushed past them, managing to inflict no damage on them whatsoever.
Only Zhong Tao, seizing the moment of the charge, thrust his spear into a bandit, flinging him from his horse!
However, even so, the trend is irreversible.
In just a blink of an eye, the number dwindled to only five who remained standing. They were now trapped and surrounded by bandits on both sides.
Some people's faces turned pale, and even their hands holding weapons were trembling uncontrollably.
The Black Tiger charged forward on horseback, and the rest of the bandits had already turned around, brandishing their big knives and surrounding several people tightly.
At once, the cowardly ones dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Some people knelt, and the remaining bit of momentum instantly vanished. The rest also dropped their weapons and surrendered on the ground.
Seeing the situation had turned against him, Zhong Tao felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
While the bandits were boasting and showing off their power, he feigned surrender. In that moment, he suddenly sprang up, swinging his long spear wildly, sweeping a wide arc.
The bandits hurried to dodge, Zhong Tao took the opportunity to charge out and ran towards the village.
The bandits did not pursue.
Because Black Tiger drew his bow again, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at Zhong Tao's back!e sisters, and I still want to call you Third Sister! Do you understandLiaohongying was deeply shaken.To be able to become sisters with a former princess and emperor is an unparalleled honor.But she w...
