The thieves chased three or five villagers to a large millstone, just like a cat chasing a mouse. The thieves chased in a circle, and the villagers fled in circles. They chased for several times and failed to catch up. The thieves jumped towards the millstone with a roar.

To the trembling villagers.

The villagers had poor weapons, just picks and forks in their hands. The thieves jumped over with their knives raised. The villagers were so frightened that they ran to the side and hurriedly attacked the thieves while hiding from the hoes and forks in their hands.

No matter how clumsy a hoe is, it is also a long weapon. The arrogant soldier was struck in the face by the hoe. After receiving such a heavy blow, the soldier groaned and leaned back immediately.

It must be said that the common people's fighting awareness of the villagers is really poor. They have a large number of people and successfully injured the enemy. It would be great to take the opportunity to beat the drowned dog. However, because they were too panicked and frightened, the three villagers who were chased to the millstone were basically killed.

Not having the courage to fight, they didn't notice the fighting at all and fled directly to the side.

The bandit who was the first to climb over the firewood pile and the one who entered the village the deepest was seriously injured. If this bandit was a single warrior, and someone else killed him, he would become angrier and continue to pursue him. But in the end,

Where are there so many thugs? The soldier covered his face and blood flowed freely. He already wanted to retreat.

The thieves had indeed successfully entered the village. After the five thieves entered the village, the firewood stack at the back of the village was completely on fire. The fire was soaring into the sky. Outside the firewood stack, the following thieves raised their heads and looked at the fierce flames.

Fire sighs.

Five thieves rushed in and almost destroyed the morale of the villagers, but they were still a little short of it.

After the initial panic, the villagers gathered their men in fear and began to counterattack.

There were only five thieves, and the following thieves were cut off from the wall of fire. At least half of the villagers surrounded them and fought towards the back of the village. There were many people who were brave enough to fight.

The villagers who came back after regrouping met the rebel soldiers who had gathered together. The two sides happened to bump into each other in two rows of townhouses. They happened to be in the alley. When the two sides saw each other, they were afraid of the hemp pole and the wolf. No one dared to go up.

, the two sides were in a strange stalemate for a while.

"Let me pass, let me pass!" shouted the archer among the villagers.

The villagers blocking the front quickly gave way. When the archers came forward, before they could draw their bows and shoot arrows, the thieves on the opposite side saw that they were about to draw their bows. They saw something bad and quickly retreated.

As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The morale of the villagers is not high. If the thieves had attacked them directly, the villagers might have been defeated. However, the thieves were afraid of the power of bows and arrows and turned around to retreat. When they retreated, the villagers

Morale immediately rose.

"Pull out!"

"Hurry up!"

"Don't let me get away!"

The villagers, old and young, holding up hoes, forks, spears, daggers, bows and crossbows, lost their arrows, and a large group of old and young men and women ran after them, howling.

At this time, an important tactical point of attack and defense is revealed, such as siege. When attacking a city, the most cost-effective unit is undoubtedly the sword and shield soldiers. However, if all sword and shield soldiers are used, it will not be enough.

To deal with the war in Chengtou City.

Because if there are only sword and shield soldiers, after the sword and shield soldiers smash down the city wall and enter the city, if the enemy has cavalry left, the enemy cavalry will charge and the sword and shield soldiers will be massacred.

Siege can be divided into two stages. The city wall is one stage, and the city is another stage. Fighting in the city is a battle in formation. The weapons that should be used in battle in formation should also be used in fighting in the city. Battle in formation requires swords, shields, and spears.

If bows and crossbows are needed, the siege troops should also have spears and crossbows.

Li Mengxi had already concluded this point when he was deducing offensive and defensive tactics.

The thief army may have enough combat experience, but their tactics are not rigorous enough. The pioneers of the thief army are sword and shield soldiers. There is no doubt that sword and shield soldiers have light weapons, are agile in movement, and are good at climbing. Therefore, sword and shield soldiers are mostly used in offensive and defensive battles.

As a pioneer, there is no problem for the enemy to attack with swords and shields. However, the rebel army did not equip the attacking troops with crossbowmen. This meant that when the villagers counterattacked, there were five soldiers and one crossbowman.

No, this would be embarrassing. These five thieves have no room to fight back.

The villagers may not have enough courage to fight in close combat, but they still have the courage to shoot arrows from a distance. The villagers chased the five lone soldiers everywhere like chasing rabbits. Halfway through, they shot one to death, and chased and shot another to lame.

The villagers chased after him, but before the thieves surrendered and begged for mercy, the furious villagers smashed the man into pieces with hoes and shovels, and soon he was smashed into pieces.

The third bandit rushed into the house and hid in a panic. The villagers did not dare to chase inside, but dared to keep shooting arrows in. Hearing a scream, the villagers fired arrows even more hastily. After a moment,

Two brave villagers carefully went in with their swords and guns drawn, and found that the traitor had fallen into a pool of blood, with a crossbow arrow lodged in his throat.

The last two thieves were driven to the wall of fire by the villagers. The two thieves wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape. In front of them were the villagers who were killing them, and behind them were raging fires. It was really like there was no way, no way, no sky.

Door.

The desperate thieves still had some spirit of courage. They roared and charged at the villagers.

At least six bows and arrows were fired at the same time. The arrows made a popping sound when they hit the flesh. The two stubborn rebels were shot to the ground within two steps.

The villagers were afraid that they would not be shot to death, so they fired arrows repeatedly and shot the two thieves into hedgehogs.

The firewood fortification saved the village. If the fire had not hindered the deployment of the rebel troops, if five or six more rebel soldiers had come in, the village would have been massacred by now.

Blocked by the flames, dozens of soldiers and soldiers were quietly watching the firewood burning. Suddenly, several black shadows flew out and fell to the ground. At first glance, they were several human heads.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The thieves took a look at the people who had just entered and were slaughtered. Some of the thieves were angry, but some wanted to retreat.

For the villagers, the battle to eliminate the five thieves was an extremely important practical experience. After this battle, the villagers' courage, morale, and even tactics improved.

At least we know that crossbows are easy to use and can shoot people like rabbits when they are chased by them.

Also strengthened were the soldiers' armor. The villagers ripped off the thieves' armor and pierced it into their own bodies, and immediately there were a few more armored soldiers.

The resistance in the village continued. After a while, the flames began to dim. The villagers had a premonition of what it would mean after the flames were extinguished. They quickly collected all the firewood they could collect to replenish the firewood. After a while, the flames still went out.

The enraged enemy general pressed forward with all his troops, and the wolf-like bandit soldiers marched in, shouting and killing bee pupae. The villagers tried their best to resist and were unable to stop them.

Soon, the resistance in the village gradually died down, and the rebels slaughtered all the villagers, old and young, in anger.

When Huaixia Village was resisting, Lincun, who was not far away, watched the flames of Huaixia Village rising into the sky, and was stunned and did not dare to go to support.

Not long after the fire in Huaixia Village was extinguished, the bandit soldiers came from Huaixia Village.

The villagers in Lincun quickly retreated to defend the village. There were also car formations blocking the road in Lincun, and there were wooden piles and firewood blocking the gaps in the village. There was also a Qingjin rural soldier in Lincun.

The rebel army paid a heavy price for conquering Huaixia Village. The rebel army suffered 62 casualties and more than 40 wounded, totaling more than 100 casualties.

Although the enemy's troops still have the strength to easily attack and destroy villages, they are now defending and resisting everywhere in the countryside. Every time they attack a village, the enemy will lose nearly a hundred troops. If this continues, it won't be long before the thieves are defeated.

The strength of the troops will be exhausted.

The Zhongshan Kingdom has become a quagmire of war, and the bandits who have gradually invaded and plundered have been dragged into the quagmire.
