There are about a hundred native soldiers in He Patrol, about thirty of whom have bows and arrows and are real archers.
About thirty feather arrows were shot out, and eight or nine of the bandits rushing in front fell down.
Yun Chao carefully observed the battlefield and found that the people rushing in front were all newly joined bandits. Although the old bandits in Heisongling shouted loudly, their charging speed was not fast. It seemed that they were using the newly joined bandits as cannon fodder. .
Eight or nine cannon fodders were hit by arrows, which immediately affected the morale of the bandits, especially the new bandits who were rushing in front. The pace of the charge could not help but stagnate.
Unfortunately, there were old bandits on the other side. Seeing that their morale was low, they immediately shouted and urged the bandits in front to continue charging.
A few guys may have been frightened and turned around and ran away no matter how the old gangsters behind them shouted.
When the other bandits saw it, they began to hesitate. Should they follow suit?
Suddenly, the few guys who were escaping screamed like pigs. The old gangsters behind them didn't even give them a chance to make another choice. They used swords and guns to chop them down in a pool of blood!
Almost instantly, the hesitant bandit made his choice. Compared with the archer in front, the old bandit behind him seemed more terrifying.
As a result, almost all the bandits speeded up their pace in unison, hoping to rush over before being hit by the arrow!
…
Seeing that the archers on his side shot down eight or nine bandits, the confidence of the villagers in Sanshui Town was greatly increased.
Especially after seeing the bandits rushing in front start to hesitate, some of the more impatient and simple-minded guys almost rushed out!
However, a moment later, the bandits from Black Pine Ridge rushed over again.
And this time it’s faster, harder, and crazier!
At this time, many Xiangyong panicked.
The aggressive ones are afraid of the stunned ones, and the stunned ones are afraid of risking their lives. Even though they know that their side has bows and arrows, the bandits still dare to rush over. These guys are risking their lives!
The bandits want to play with their lives, but the village heroes don't want to play. They only have one life, and it won't be fun if they lose it.
So, without any inspection order, some village heroes began to quietly move back, ready to escape at any time!
"Don't panic, everyone. These bandits have nothing to be afraid of. Prepare to shoot!"
As a capable officer under He Inspector, He Guanshi went to the battlefield in person and stood behind the archer to direct the battle.
Yun Chao touched his chin and couldn't help but nodded. The old guy was so courageous that he was not frightened by the bandit's momentum.
Archers are humans too, and they can also be scared. When they see the bandits being hit by arrows, they don't run away. Instead, they rush towards them even more crazily, and each one of them starts to feel nervous.
Fortunately, Guanshi He shouted in time, and the archers instinctively opened their bows and shot again!
This time the distance was closer and the effect was better than last time. A dozen bandits fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.
However, the hoped-for bandit turned around and ran away did not happen. Seeing that his accomplice was hit by an arrow, the other bandits didn't even have the slightest intention of stopping and continued to rush forward screaming!
At this time, the archers were really panicked. In a hurry, half of the archers started firing arrows without any orders from the steward.
In a hurry, the harvest this time was far worse than the last time. After more than a dozen arrows were shot, only three bandits fell.
When the other archers saw that their teammates were releasing arrows, they subconsciously shot out the arrows in their hands.
The result was even worse, with only two bandits hit by arrows.
At this time, the distance between the two parties was less than twenty meters. With good eyesight, even the other party's eyes could be seen clearly.
Seeing the blood-red eyes of the bandits, almost all the archers standing at the front panicked. They were archers, not melee soldiers. If the bandits got close to them, they would know the consequences with their butts.
The more panicked he became, the more deformed his movements became. No matter how much the steward tried to cheer him up, the archers would not listen.
After sparsely shooting a dozen arrows at random, there was no need for any direction at all. Almost all the archers began to turn around and run back, hoping that their companions behind them could block the bandits so that they could hide behind their companions and fire arrows.
Behind the thirty archers were two hundred rural warriors from Sanshui Town.
Yun Chao knew something was wrong when he saw that Inspector He did not put the local soldiers directly under him at the front, but lined up behind the 200 Xiang Yong, and wanted to use the Xiang Yong as human shields.
Sure enough, when he saw the archer at the front running back, Xiangyong from Sanshui Town immediately panicked. He didn't care whether there was an order from the inspection, so he turned around and ran away with the archer!
At this time, the soldiers lined up behind Xiang Yong were numb.
The trained soldiers on the 60th and 70th held regular weapons. If they fought with a group of untrained bandits, it was not impossible to win.
Although the archers ran back, they avoided the front and would not attack the formation of the soldiers.
But Xiangyong was not good enough. He was severely lacking in training and didn't know so much. He just ran away for his life, fearing that he would be killed by the bandits if he ran too slowly.
Run wherever it is convenient, and run wherever it is safe.
Where is it safe?
Undoubtedly, it was the safest place behind the soldiers patrolling He.
After all, the local soldiers are local soldiers, not killing machines like the regular army. When they saw Xiang Yong rushing over, they did not use their swords and guns to kill the Xiang Yong who took the lead in charging, but watched them disrupt their formation!
Inspector He never expected that his side would be defeated so quickly. His commanding skills had not yet been fully demonstrated. Why did these guys lose?
What made Inspector He even more unexpected was that his right-hand man, Guanshi He, wanted to prevent Xiang Yong from escaping, but he was pushed by someone and fell onto his back!
If you just fall down, why can you get up?
It's a pity that before He Guanshi could get up, another foot stepped on him!
Then another foot, then another…
The frightened Xiangyong stepped over Guanshi He one by one.
The frightened Xiang Yong didn't care whether there was anyone on the ground or who was on the ground. Not to mention He was in charge, even when Inspector He fell to the ground, no one probably stopped to take a look at him!
As for the few officers who had been following Guanshi He closely and were responsible for protecting him, they had run away long ago. Who would be so foolish as to stay and die?
Yun Shenchan, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, saw this scene and glared, "I'll go, why do you think this is the end of the matter?"
Not to mention whether Yun Chao wanted to save He Guanshi or not, even if he wanted to, it was too late.
Inspection He set up a wild goose formation. The villagers from each village lined up in a small square formation, and a certain distance was maintained between villages. Several villages were lined up in a row, from the tips of the two wings to the center of the army. The location is at least a hundred meters away.
At such a long distance, unless Yun Chao doesn't care about the life and death of his men and rushes up with Xiang Yong from Wolong Village, he can rescue Guanshi He!
