"Damn Nikan! Damn dog barbarian! He lives underground like a mouse, and yet he dares to kill me, a Qing warrior! It's really unforgivable! I will kill all the Nikans in this village!"
Seven of his men were injured and three more warriors died, which was unacceptable to Surta.
It would be fine if the target of the battle were smart people, but what they had to deal with now was a group of villagers.
If one person is not caught, his team will be reduced by ten people. He has never fought such a useless battle.
"Put some firewood for me and light a fire to kill the Nikan rats inside!"
Furious, Surta's mind was not blinded by anger, and then he lost his mind. It was unwise to continue sending troops to chase Nikan. He seemed to use smoke to smoke the enemy.
Watching Meng Gubing running forward and backward, Ao Tu said nothing and just watched respectfully from the side.
He had used this trick before and it didn't work at all.
There should be a smoke-proof mechanism inside the cave, otherwise there would be no need for Surta to come.
Surta just wants to prove that he is more powerful, wiser and cold-blooded than himself.
But from the time I entered the village until now, apart from losing ten of my subordinates, nothing has been proven...
"Okay! Fan! The bigger the fire, the better! Ahem..."
The smoke rose rapidly with the fire. Although some of it went inward along the hole, some of it came out from the entrance of the hole.
Upon seeing this, Surta did not forget to encourage his men, even though he was already coughing uncontrollably due to the thick smoke.
Ao Tu couldn't help but feel a little funny next to him. This guy didn't even care about lighting a fire and cooking, right?
It was like this before, but what next?
I didn’t even catch the fart!
Let’s see what Surta is capable of!
Maybe this guy is luckier than me and can catch a few Nikans.
"Report~! Master, when Master Wang was searching, he was attacked by a barbarian with cold arrows. One person was killed and another was injured!"
"Ah? Did you catch the barbarian?"
"The dog barbarian went down to the cave after the sneak attack, but was not captured!"
"hateful!"
Surta, who had nowhere to vent his anger, was so angry that he pulled out a sharp waist knife and cut off the legs of the table next to him in one fell swoop.
"Report! Our unit was attacked by barbarians and one person died in the battle!"
At this time, a total of five people were killed and nine were injured. It had become a real disadvantage.
"Damn! Good-for-nothing! Are they all just doing it for a living? Can't even beat Nikan???"
Surta suddenly roared and cursed at a group of men.
The Menggu soldiers below looked innocent. They didn't want to be like this. Who likes to be shot?
They had never fought such a battle before, and the barbarian targeted his own back to kill him.
As long as they face a barbarian from behind, they will "welcome" them with bows and arrows.
This village is built halfway up the mountain and is built with gray stones. Every household looks similar.
Dog Manzi is also wearing gray cloth clothes. Because the color is very similar to the background color, it is difficult for Meng Gubing to distinguish him.
A companion was hit by an arrow on the road. As soon as the others chased him, the dog barbarian ran into the yard and disappeared.
He doesn't confront you head-on, he just hides behind his back and shoots cold arrows. What can you do to him?
Of course Cun Min is a local, and he knows the layout and traffic situation of the whole village clearly even with his eyes closed.
He knew exactly where it was suitable to ambush, where it was suitable to run, and where it was suitable for surveillance.
The beaten Menggu soldiers who had just arrived were all confused and turned around, and they were completely beaten passively.
Although the Qing Dynasty King's Division had a large number of people, it could not even parry in the face of such wretched guerrilla tactics.
"Report~! Five people went to the cave and didn't return!"
"Report~! Three people were ambushed and injured in the cave!"
"Report~! A warrior's body was found on the road!"
"Report..."
Another series of reports came, all bad news without exception, and they came one after another.
According to the worst-case scenario, adding up all the elements, 11 of Surta's men had been killed and 15 wounded.
The loss of more than 20% of his troops made Surta feel frustrated that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
How could this Nikan have such fighting power?
Although Meng Gubing was not a soldier of the Eight Banners, he was not a drunkard either.
How could I become a passive target when I came to this damn place?
The nikans here are all villagers, no matter how powerful they are, they are not as good as the Ming army.
It's really a bit evil to encounter such a thing!
The Nikan rats were so rampant that they dared to become enemies of the Qing royal master.
The reason is simply that having a hole in the ground as a support makes you feel confident.
"Go down to the cave! Kill all the Nikan rats inside!"
If this is the case, then he will go deep into the tiger's den and kill all the Nikans in the cave.
As long as the Qing warriors decided to do something, there was nothing impossible.
Nikan, you fight in a cave, but the Qing warriors can do the same!
Surta personally organized thirty people and found five smoke-free entrances to the caves.
Each group of three people, the first person holds a sword and shield, the second person packs a bow and arrows, and the third person packs a torch.
There is no need to worry about the two groups of people under the same cave entrance, they can advance slowly, just to push the Nikan rats until they are cornered.
In this way, he had to fight a decisive battle with the Qing warriors. Even though he was underground, Suerta believed that his side would win without a doubt!
"Brother, the Dog Tartars have entered the cave. Judging from the footsteps, there are quite a few people, at least six or seven!"
"Why are you afraid of him? Copycat! By the way, third child, bring the big shield, we men are going to eat meat too!"
"okay!"
Although Pan Hu was not very familiar with the captured Dog Tartar bow, he probably couldn't use it well.
But it’s not like I don’t have this stuff at home. I can hit the target within ten steps at least.
Gou Tarzi's arrows were indeed much better than his own, so Pan Hu brought dozens of them with him as part of the girl's dowry.
The third youngest, Pan Xiong, can't shoot arrows and is still a fool. He doesn't have much brains, but he has a lot of strength.
It was inconvenient to use it in the cave, but Pan Hu still found a good job for him.
That is to lift the shield. This task requires a lot of arm strength, and most people cannot do it. The arm will soon become unbearably sore.
The shield to be raised is not the usual round shield or playing card, but a thickened door panel.
It is only a hand's length away from the side of the cave. Just lift it up to block the intruder's arrow attack.
The Dog Tartars would definitely not go down into the cave with a door panel. If their shield could not protect their whole body, Pan Hu would be able to shoot through their body.
Pan Hu's idea was very simple, that is, let Lao San hold up a big shield and shoot arrows wildly from behind. To put it bluntly, he was shooting at the dog Tatars.
There is a prototype opening on the upper side of the door panel, which is a shooting hole for arrows.
Unless the Dog Tartar's arrows could pass through the opening, there would be nothing to do with the two brothers.
In order to ensure a fatal blow, Pan Hu also specially applied the more precious centipede poison.
Even if it only hits a non-fatal part, except for some dog tartars who are particularly hard-hit, the person who is hit by the arrow will probably kick his legs after a night.
When fighting in this village, the folks in the village would only use knives at most, and they mainly used scaring. It was extremely rare for them to kill in large numbers.
But to deal with the extremely vicious dog Tatars, even bows and arrows must be used, and the arrows must be coated with poison.
If the dog Tartar comes to die, let him get what he wants.
Come one, kill one!
Come two, kill a pair!
A dog tartar is worth two hundred taels of silver. Who wouldn't be jealous?
After knowing that Tian Laosan had killed as many as six dog Tatars, Pan Hu, who did not dare to fall behind others, planned to confront the dog Tatars head-on in the cave.
In order to ensure his own safety, he was not defenseless. As long as the "big shield" was not shot through, the two brothers were in no danger.
Pan Hu and Pan Xiong were waiting on a relatively smooth straight road for the dog Tartar to arrive.
Soon two flashes of fire appeared on the opposite side. They must be dog tartars, so there was no need to ask in advance.
Pan Hu fully drew the bowstring and shot the first arrow with all his strength.
"when!"
Unfortunately, he failed to succeed, and the arrow directly nailed the Menggu soldier's wooden shield.
The other side immediately shouted, and then an arrow shot over quickly.
Although the Pan brothers did not light the illuminated objects at all, Meng Gubing had never seen the world again, and even if he was attacked, he knew there was someone on the other side.
It doesn't matter if your vision is dark, just shoot the arrow over.
"when!"
Pan Hu knew that the dog Tatar started to fight back, but he did not let Pan Xiong retreat, but instinctively shot the second arrow.
"ah……"
Since there was no scream from the first arrow, it meant that it hit the dog's shield.
Pan Hu deliberately adjusted the angle of the second arrow slightly downward, and he succeeded.
The arrow was inserted directly into the calf of the leading Menggu soldier. The round shield could only protect the torso and thighs, but not the calves and feet.
The companion behind him saw this and hurriedly shot a second arrow. If the opponent could shoot again, it meant that he had not hit the target before.
"when!"
But luck was not on his side. Pan Xiong played a very good supporting role. The shield did not move at all, making Dog Tartar's arrows become wax head decorations.
"ah……"
With a scream coming from the opposite side, Pan Hu announced his success with the third arrow.
Without the protection of a shield, the archer had only one chance to survive in the narrow cave.
The Menggu soldier holding the torch watched the two companions in front of him being hit by arrows one after another, and hurriedly fell to the ground, while the guy behind him holding the shield protected himself.
The archers in the second group began to fire arrows. Regardless of the life or death of the people in front, they had to immediately shoot the barbarian on the opposite side, otherwise their group would also suffer the same fate.
Menggu Bing didn't know that the opponent was equipped with a Shenzi gadget, so he just fired arrows blindly out of desperation, but failed even once.
The two sides exchanged wild shots at a distance of five or six steps. As long as they were shot, they would fall to the ground on the spot. If they were shot in vital parts, they would die immediately.
"ah……"
The Pan brothers, who were prepared to fight, became more and more courageous as they fought. Pan Hu held up the flying arrows and fired twelve arrows in a row. Finally, he shot all six people on the opposite side to the ground, leaving no one who could stand up.
Just in case, Pan Hu finally added three arrows to make the dog Tatar die until he couldn't die anymore, so that he could safely put the thousands of taels of silver in the hole.
"Brother! Did we win?"
When Pan Xiong heard that there was no movement on the other side, he asked in a low voice.
"Yes! We won! None of the dog Tatars survived!"
Pan Hu held on to the unextinguished torch and vaguely admired his masterpiece, feeling full of pride in his heart.
"Brother, it's not good. The dog Tatars came in from other cave entrances. Old Zhangtou and his family were all killed!"
Pan Bao hurriedly ran past from behind. He wanted to make plans for himself.
"Ah? Then you stay here and I and the third child will go over and take a look!"
Pan Hu felt that he had to help, otherwise the dog Tatars would come and kill him from behind.
Although the burrows of various houses in the village are connected to each other, they can protect each other.
However, the population of each household is different, and the number of men varies greatly.
A family with a small number of men naturally has low combat power. It would be good if they could dodge the dog Tartars, and there is no hope of counterattack at all.
It is also very simple to block the attack of the Dog Tartars, as long as there are two people.
One person holds up the shield and the other releases the arrow.
If that doesn't work, it would be nice to be as good at sneak attacks and traps as Tian Tian.
Some families, like Lao Zhangtou, have a daughter instead of a son, and they suffer a big loss.
Lao Zhangtou also wanted to sell his daughter at a good price, so he flatly rejected many marriage proposals from his neighbors.
Now it's better, I didn't make any money, but I also risked my life. The dog Tatar didn't even blink an eye when he killed his daughter.
Precisely because there are no men in the family, the cave in Lao Zhangtou's house is very simple and can only hide people.
Once a dog Tatar rushes in, it will be difficult for Lao Zhangtou to resist it alone.
Naturally, the people living next to Old Zhangtou's cave also suffered. The six dog Tatars were quite a fighting force.
After hearing the news, the village chief Liu Zhu hurriedly organized his men to fight back, trying to stop the dog Tatars' attack at all costs.
If they couldn't stop them in the cave, they would either run away from the cave entrance near the back of the village, or they would all die underground, which would save them the trouble of digging a hole.
Not only here, another group of dog Tatars also came in and killed Liu Shui's family, who were relatives of Liu Zhu.
Liu Zhu had no time to cry now. Every one of the men around him had to bear the burden.
There are many people in the village who can use knives, but few people can shoot arrows. However, bows and arrows are the best blocking weapons.
Tian Di, with the cooperation of his companions, had already shot and killed six dog Tatars in succession, and was fending off the enemies coming from the cave of Lao Zhangtou's home.
Regardless of whether they are Menggu Tatars or Eight Banners Tatars, in Tiandi's eyes, it is only two hundred taels of silver, the more the better.
Thinking of his eldest brother who died tragically at the hands of the Tatars, Tian Di felt infinite strength in his heart.
Blood debts must be repaid with blood!
That's it for now!
It would be best if you could kill a hundred dog Tatars, so that you can avenge your eldest brother!
Every time I hear a scream from the dog Tatar, Tiandi can feel a little relieved.
These murderous animals have always treated the people of Ming Dynasty like this, and now it is their turn to taste the pain.
The advantage of fighting in a cave is that as long as you have the ability to take charge, the dog Tatars will not be able to survive.
You can't rush forward side by side in the cave, you just come one by one to die.
If you come here and die, I will help you!
The dog tartars seemed to be very obedient, and they really came to kill me one after another.
However, they were soon suppressed by bows and arrows, their momentum was greatly weakened, and their movements became much slower.
He huddled behind his shield and kept firing arrows, not daring to come forward to engage in close combat.
"Come on! Dog Tatar! Don't you want my life? Come and get it?"
Liu Ming, who was responsible for raising the shield, saw that Tian Di's archery skills were quite good, so he shouted proudly to the other side.
Of course, Meng Gubing couldn't understand what the other party was talking about, but he knew from the tone that it wasn't a good thing.
He almost responded angrily, and then continued to fire arrows, trying to kill the dog barbarian on the opposite side.
As a result, the assumption was exactly the opposite of the reality. Neither side dared to light the torch, which was to discredit the confrontation.
The field where Orion was born used the sound made by the opponent to roughly locate his position, shot eight arrows in a row, and then killed all the enemies on the opposite side.
Surta, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave, waited for an hour, and finally found that only six people came back, while the others were left alive and dead.
If more than twenty people were killed in the cave, Surta wouldn't know how to explain it to his master...
