Because he was too close, there was no way to avoid the blow. As blood spattered, Ma Changqian was stabbed to death by the blow.
Chen Yanzong pulled out the horse stick and didn't even bother to look at Ma Changqian. It didn't matter how many times he died for this kind of ant and troublesome man.
He was carrying the horse and looking coldly at Maguancun in front of him, his tone extremely cold.
"Kill them all, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
"A village is worth one thousand taels of silver. A big village like Maguan Village is worth at least one thousand five hundred taels!"
"After receiving the reward at that time, all brothers will have a share."
Compared to Uhli, a pedantic man who stuck to the rules, the soldiers from the southern border obviously respected Chen Yanzong more. Under the leadership of Chen Yanzong, the soldiers roared with excitement.
Like a pack of wolves, they flocked to Maguan Village.
At this moment, Chen Yanzong suddenly felt a black shadow falling from the sky, followed by a loud shout in his ears.
"Thief, give back my father's life!"
Click!
With a crisp sound, Chen Yanzong felt like he was hit by a crazy bull, and he fell directly off the horse.
Ma Hong, who had been dormant on a tree branch, watched his father being killed by the other party with his own eyes. His unprecedented anger instantly swallowed up Ma Hong's sanity.
He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. When the other party arrived under the tree, Ma Hong jumped down and stabbed Chen Yanzong in the chest accurately with the spear in his hand.
Although the huge impact knocked Chen Yanzong off his horse, the crude spear in Ma Hong's hand could not penetrate Chen Yanzong's armor at all.
Due to the sudden incident, the scene was in chaos.
Chen Yanzong hurriedly got up from the ground and found that the other party had a copper basin hanging on his body, and immediately realized that the other party was just a militiaman.
He immediately pulled out his sword and slashed towards Ma Hong.
Seeing Ma Hong ducking backwards, he grabbed Ma Changqian's shoulder with his left hand and dragged him back. He picked up the broken spear with his right hand and waved it.
Judging from the opponent's posture and techniques, it is likely that he has been on the battlefield and is a veteran.
"kill him!"
Chen Yanzong was very angry. The action tonight should have been as easy and complete as chopping melons and vegetables.
As a result, this sudden change hindered Chen Yanzong's plan. He suddenly became angry and wanted to cut the troublesome guy in front of him into pieces.
There is a huge difference between people who have served as soldiers or not.
If it is tempered in actual combat, the survival rate will be greatly improved no matter who it faces.
On the contrary, ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield, no matter how strong they are, are nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered to professional soldiers.
Just when Chen Yanzong's soldiers were about to stab Ma Hongran to death, arrows suddenly shot out from the village.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
These arrows were surprisingly accurate. Although they were all ordinary diamond-shaped arrows, except for Chen Yanzong, the rest of the cavalry were wearing light armor.
These diamond-shaped arrows still caused a certain amount of damage.
And compared to the lethality, what is more powerful is the deterrence of cold arrows.
The cavalry under Chen Yanzong's command were instantly shocked. You must know that based on the opponent's archery skills, they must be specially trained soldiers and definitely not ordinary civilians.
Even Xiao Mazi hit the cavalry with an arrow. Although the short arrow was almost like a tickle, it undoubtedly proved that the civilians in Maguan Village were definitely not lambs to be slaughtered.
"There's an ambush!"
"General, retreat quickly, there is an ambush in the village!"
Hearing the shouts from behind, Chen Yanzong was furious. He carried the horse's horse, held the reins, and tied the war horse to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.
He said angrily: "What are you afraid of?"
"Although these unscrupulous people have surrendered to the army, they don't have decent weapons and equipment at all. They can just dismount and go in to kill them!"
After hearing this, the cavalry calmed down.
Since the villagers in Maguan Village have received certain military training, they cannot rush in on horseback, otherwise they will be easily plotted.
Dismounting and walking, with the advantage of numbers and armor, they can still massacre Maguan Village.
Hundreds of people dismounted and, led by Chen Yanzong, poured directly into the village.
At this time, Ma Hong had already pulled his father's body back into the yard. He wiped away his tears without saying a word, turned around and rushed out of the yard, running towards the ancestral hall while mobilizing loudly.
"Everyone who comes here is a traitor. Don't be careless. Stick to the village road and don't gather in groups!"
Street fighting is Ma Hong's only chance. Otherwise, there is such a big gap in weapons and armor. No matter how brave they are, they will only die when facing the thieves.
Ma Hong rushed to the ancestral hall, lifted up the stone slab at the door, dug a few times with his bare hands, and pulled out a long wooden box from the ground.
Open the wooden box and pull out three branches.
These rifles are all standard weapons.
There are many villagers in Maguan Village who have served as soldiers, and many of them are soldiers. They deserted and brought back their weapons and equipment.
Every time, Ma Hong's father did not dare to be negligent and sent the armor and weapons to the government immediately.
Although the villagers who became deserters could only continue to flee, it was enough to save the lives of all the people in Maguan Village.
but……
Ma Changqian was more thoughtful and did not hand over all the armor and weapons.
The government's inspection of armor is extremely strict and cannot be kept privately under any circumstances, but Bu Yang is different...
Ma Changqian lied that there were only so many weapons found. The local government considered that Maguan Village had always abided by the law and that the only missing weapon was a rifle, so they stopped pursuing it.
In this way, Ma Changqian secretly hid three steps.
He hid all three steps under the stone slab at the entrance of the ancestral hall. If a thief wearing armor came to sneak attack on the village one day, these three steps would be an insurance measure.
"Father! Thank you!"
"If you hadn't predicted this, we would have been in trouble today..."
Ma Hong wiped his tears, clutched his head, ran back to the street, and shouted: "Second child, third child!"
"Where have you two bastards gone?"
Not long after, two sturdy men appeared in front of Ma Hong.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Ma Hu and Ma Dahai are Ma Hong's biological brothers, and Xiao Mazi is the son of Ma Hu, the second oldest.
Ma Hong handed the budgie head to the two of them and kept one for himself.
"Father...is dead!"
What? !
Upon hearing this, Ma Hu and Ma Dahai were stunned for a moment, and then became furious.
"Damn thieves, I'm going to smash their heads!"
"Brother, you must avenge your father no matter what, otherwise I will not recognize you!"
Ma Hong waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, go and put on your rifle. All the thieves are wearing light armor, and the thieves' leader is wearing heavy armor."
"The weapons in the hands of other villagers cannot break armor at all. Whether we can survive the storm tonight depends on the three of us!"
