There are many thieves.

The villagers also had families and families to carry, and it was difficult to move. How could they defeat the enemy?

Wei Shi thought about this question several times in his mind. Finally, when he saw the waste from the iron kiln, he found the answer to defeat the enemy.

The iron juice from the iron kiln flows out.

While forging weapons and iron tools, there will also be leftover scraps.

After more than two months of accumulation, there was a lot accumulated next to the Yu Shuwan Iron Kiln. These small iron blocks originally needed to be remelted and melted into iron juice, but since Wei Shi was leaving, the iron scraps had to be discarded.

When Cai Min and Wang escaped and news came back that Wang Zhong might be attacking, Wei Shi had an idea and thought of the iron caltrop as a good way to stop the enemy.

Tribulus has four iron thorns, several inches long. Whenever it touches the ground, one thorn points upward, and the tip of the thorn is like a "thorn".

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, when the army was camping or garrisoning, iron caltrops were spread around to block the enemy.

Among the bandits under Wang Zhong, several were deserters of Zhang Xiu. They had seen this kind of enemy-blocking weapon in the Han army, so when they found that their companions' feet were stabbed, they immediately screamed in surprise.

"Concentrate your forces and attack in one direction first." Wang Zhong was furious.

The fat meat was about to reach his mouth, but when he was about to get it, he got a prick.

He had already made up his mind that when he caught the little bastard Wei Shi, he would deal with it properly and let him know what it meant to be unable to live and die.

After receiving Wang Zhong's order, the bandits quickly gathered together and began to attack along the official road.

The soil on the official road is hard and there are few weeds. Even if there are caltrops, they can be found early. Unlike the roads on both sides, which are overgrown with weeds, bandits can't tell whether there is anything under their feet when they are walking along.

The fierce battle between Wang Zhong's native bandits and Wei Shi's soldiers officially began at this time.

In the car array.

Wei Shi stood on a large ox cart, holding a red saber with a faint red glow in his hand, commanding Ruode.

The first battle against the enemy.

Wei Shi originally thought he would panic, but when the real danger came, he found that not only was he not panicked, but he was also slightly excited.

The topographic map of the Shanting area slowly unfolded in front of Wei Shi.

The scope of this condescending perspective is not very large, only half a mile in radius. Wei Shi can't see anything beyond half a mile, but it is enough to deal with Wang Zhong.

"Welfare? It's only given out now, is it really unfair?" Wei Shi complained in his heart.

The reaction of Wang Zhong's bandits, the panic of the villagers, and the shouts of the rural soldiers all appeared in front of him.

The situation of both the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield is clear at a glance.

This strange feeling of pulling away the clouds and seeing the fog is really wonderful.

"Wei Cheng, you lead the soldiers forward with spears. You are not allowed to retreat without my order."

"Wei Gong, take two of you and go to General Wei Yan to deliver a message, saying that the bandits have fallen into the trap and can close the trap."

Wei Cheng and Wei Gong received the order and made arrangements in a hurry.

Wei Shi let out a long breath, turned to look at Wang En, and said, "I will leave all the remaining men in the village to you. You will personally guard the car formation and you must not let the bandits come in."

Wang En, also known as Wang Laoliu, had red eyes, holding a hunting bow, and nodded repeatedly: "Even if I die, I will not let the bandits hurt my wife."

After Wei Cheng and Wei Gong both became famous, Wang Laoliu felt that being called "Lao Liu" and "Sixth Brother" all day long was really tacky, so he specially invited a literate teacher in Xinye City to call him a new one.

a name.

kindness.

It means gratitude and favor.

It also represents Wang Laoliu's inner gratitude to Wei Shi.

Han Qiang hugged Wei Xiao'e tightly and hid in a car not far away, not running around, not causing trouble, and not panicking. This was the task assigned by Wei Shi, and Han Qiang firmly remembered it.

When the curtain of the car was raised, a ray of sunlight shone in, just in time to see the tall figure of Wei Shi holding a sword in his hand. At this moment, Han Qiang could not be more moved.

In times of crisis, Wei Shi did not abandon Fu Huan to escape, but chose to fight.

She was right about this man.

Wei Shi led the local soldiers to fight fiercely with the bandits on the official road.

Although the defending village soldiers were fighting for the first time, after several months of training by Wei Yan and Fu Wei, they gradually became proficient in the use of formations. In addition, the women in the chariot formation were mostly family members of the village soldiers, and they were protecting their loved ones.

In front of the thought, the bloody spirit of the soldiers was suddenly aroused.

In contrast, although the bandits were fierce and experienced in combat, Wang Zhong's abilities were limited and he did not pay attention to training. Facing the military formations set up by the village soldiers, he was unable to break through immediately.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

Just when Wang Zhong became fierce and wanted to suppress all his troops and make a big bet with Wei Shi, a sudden chaos broke out in the rear of the bandit team.

"Oh no, the officers and soldiers are coming to kill us."

"Fell into the trap, fallen into the trap, we're finished."

Amidst the screams of the local bandits crying for their fathers and mothers, Wei Yan led a group of men and horses into the bandits' formation with murderous intent. Wherever he swung his sword, blood and flesh flew everywhere, as if he was entering an uninhabited land.

Wang Zhong was shocked.

He did not expect that Wei Shi and his group of villagers were actually protected by officers and soldiers. If he looked at it this way, this time going down the mountain would be a trap.

"Cai Min, you dare to lie to me." Wang Zhong shouted angrily, raised a knife and chopped the stunned Cai Min to the ground.

"Withdraw, return to the village."

"retreat!"

Wang Zhong gave the order, and the local bandits dispersed like birds and beasts. They were already hungry, and now they were tired from the fight. When they saw the officers and soldiers again, the rural troops were so large that they already felt timid to fight.

Wei Yan knocked over several bandits in front of him, but when he looked up, he saw the leader of the bandits, Wang Zhong, riding a rogue horse and fleeing in front.

"Where to go?" Wei Yan urged his horse to pursue him. In just a moment, he reached Wang Zhong's back.

The yellow horse Wei Yan is riding is a military horse from Liu Bei's army. Although it is not particularly good, it is much stronger and more powerful than Wang Zhong's horse.

Wei Yan slashed down with his sword, and the blood was as bright as steel.

Wang Zhong was so frightened that he reluctantly picked up the Huanshou sword and tried to block it. Unexpectedly, he was much weaker than Wei Yan, and the Huanshou sword was knocked to the ground.

"die."

Wei Yan shouted sharply, with a cold look on his dark brown face, and the long knife swept across Wang Zhong's waist, immediately cutting the thief's head into two pieces.

Wang Zhong was spinning, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

In panic, he saw a familiar figure running away in front of him, but for some reason, this figure only had the lower half of its body, and the upper body was nowhere to be found?

"Wang Zhong is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."

"Those who surrender will not be killed."

Amid the shouts of victory from the officers and soldiers, the Funiu Mountain bandits all knelt down and abandoned their weapons and surrendered. How could they outrun the officers and soldiers on horseback with their two legs?

This battle, in which the enemy was lured into an ambush, ended with Wang Zhong being killed and the bandits surrendering.

A subsequent count showed that there were about 1,300 bandits brought down by Wang Zhong, 261 of them were killed, and more than 700 surrendered. The remaining ones with quick legs and feet got into the side of the road and stabbed them diagonally.

I don't know where I escaped to.

On Wei Shi's side, more than ten rural soldiers were killed and about fifty were injured. Despite preparations, there were still many casualties. This only shows that the combat effectiveness of the rural soldiers needs to be improved.
