Under the leadership of Wang Hao, the officers and soldiers rushed toward the mountain road in a mighty manner.
The archers behind fired arrows while charging.
Nie Chen deflected the arrow and shouted in panic,
"Run quickly, brothers. The officers and soldiers are too strong. Run to the mountains quickly."
After saying this, he took two hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people and ran towards the mountain.
Wang Hao almost laughed angrily when he saw Nie Chen running away before the fight.
You are such a waste, such a bandit, I would not hesitate to bully you.
But his mission was to destroy Qingfeng Village, which should not be neglected, so he immediately shouted,
"Everyone, come to me and kill them before they enter the stronghold. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight them when they enter the stronghold."
"As you command!"
The officers and soldiers who had been climbing the mountain slowly now also launched a charge.
Soldiers and horses from both sides chased and ran one after another.
What surprised Wang Hao was how could these old, weak, sick and disabled people run so fast?
Maybe it’s because I walk this road every day and am familiar with the terrain.
Wang Hao explained to himself this way.
Soon, Nie Chen ran to the mountain. The gate of the village opened and he rushed in with his people.
"Skinny Monkey, tell the leaders that Wang Hao wants to be captured alive, not killed."
"As you command!"
The thin monkey was ordered to leave. Nie Chen returned to the Juyi Hall, put on his steel armor, held a repeating crossbow in his left hand, and a black knife in his right hand. He turned around and returned to the village gate.
At this time, Lin Guang also led spearmen to ambush at the gate of the village, waiting to give the opponent a fatal blow.
Seeing Nie Chen coming over, Weng Qiuchan on the wall asked with a smile,
"Hey, why don't you kill that Commander Wang?"
"That Wang Hao is a bit of a favor to me. I think he has some skills and wants to use them for his own use."
"Okay, then I won't shoot him."
Weng Qiuchan smiled and waved her hand to Nie Chen, then turned back to the wall of the village and stood ready.
Lin Guang frowned and said,
"Wang Hao? You said the commander leading the army is called Wang Hao?"
"Yes, do you know him?"
Nie Chen asked curiously.
"They should be considered acquaintances. We don't have much contact. I knew he was transferred before, but I didn't know where he was transferred. I didn't expect that he came to Qingshui County to be the commander."
"What's this person's ability like?"
Nie Chen asked.
"You should have known him longer, wouldn't you know?"
"I never cared about war before."
At the moment, Lin Guang told Nie Chen about Wang Hao's previous achievements, and finally said,
"If it were a conventional battle, and Wang Hao led a thousand men to defend Qingshui County, you might not be able to defeat it even if you led 10,000 men. This man can be called the king of defensive battles."
Nie Chen blinked his eyes and smiled,
"Oh, he is really talented. Fortunately, he has never attacked the county town before, otherwise he would really be in trouble. This person must be used for his own purposes and must not be returned to the county town."
Lin Guang smiled and said,
"I just guessed that it might be him. There are so many people named Wang Hao in the world. Maybe it's just the same name? Or it won't count until I see it with my own eyes.
Besides, they haven’t been captured alive yet, so it’s too early to talk about recruiting.
But if he is really captured alive, I will try my best to persuade him. "
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
At this moment, shouts of killing came from outside Qingfeng Village.
Looking out through the crack in the door, Nie Chen saw Wang Hao commanding his troops to rush toward Qingfeng Village.
Wang Hao is also depressed.
In the past, when he suppressed bandits, the cottages he encountered were all made of wooden fences or walls built randomly with piles of stones, which could be knocked down with a few kicks.
Why is the wall of Qingfeng Village as strong as Te Niang's city wall?
There is no time to build a ladder at this time.
Wang Hao could only bite the bullet and attack.
"The shield soldiers are in front to guard against the enemy's arrows, the pike soldiers are rushing forward, and the archers suppress the defenders at the top of the city. As long as we break through the gate, we will win!"
At this time, Wang Hao's name for Qingfeng Village had changed from bandit to enemy.
His tactics were not wrong, and he could capture the village gate after paying a certain amount of casualties, but he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qingfeng Village soldiers.
They had just rushed two hundred steps away from the stronghold wall when the broken crossbows on the stronghold wall were fired in unison. The spear-like arrows swarmed in, and each arrow could easily shoot through a group of people.
This terrifyingly powerful arrow frightened the officers and soldiers. Even the iron shield wrapped in wood at the front could not stop the broken crossbow. It was penetrated directly as if made of paper. One arrow could penetrate several people. .
They were in shock and didn't know whether to fight or withdraw.
But Qingfeng Village did not give them time to hesitate, and the second wave of arrows arrived soon.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Dozens of arrows once again took away the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers.
Wang Hao had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still bravely shouted,
"Charge with all your strength. Their heavy crossbows can't hit close range. You'll be safe if you rush under the wall!"
After hearing his words, the soldiers immediately charged and ran towards the village wall.
After the Pojun Crossbow fired another round, the crossbowmen on the wall stood up one after another, holding their repeating crossbows and shooting at the officers and soldiers who rushed nearby.
And Weng Qiuchan, holding his own compound bow, kept firing arrows, and every arrow could hit a head accurately.
Qi Huan was amazed by her archery skills and said to her,
"The eldest lady's archery skills are truly unparalleled. If you have free time in the future, please teach our team archery skills, so that we can increase the chance of completing our missions in the future."
"Okay, no problem."
Weng Qiuchan smiled brightly and aimed at the officers and soldiers below again.
Finally, some officers and soldiers braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the gate of the village. However, before they could push the door open, the gate of the village opened automatically.
Then, hundreds of spearmen inside, holding their spears, pressed toward the outside.
The neat military appearance and the cold light of the spear tip made people feel terrified.
The ranks of officers and soldiers were scattered. The spearmen ran to the gate of the village and there was no formation to speak of. However, the spearmen of Qingfeng Village waited for work and quickly harvested their lives.
Wang Hao was shocked when he saw it. What kind of bandits were these? They were clearly an elite army!
What kind of opponent did he choose this time?
At this moment, loud shouts of killing suddenly came from both sides. Hundreds of crossbowmen rushed out from behind the walls of the village on both sides, holding repeating crossbows, forming a dense formation and quickly firing arrows at the officers and soldiers in the middle.
Seeing his people being surrounded by others, constantly shrinking the battle circle, and constantly dying, Wang Hao still didn't understand that he had been fooled!
It was Nie Chen who deliberately provoked him and made him take it lightly. He felt that the Qingfeng Village bandits were nothing more than that, so he boldly pursued them with all his strength.
Now, they were surrounded, and the only way was for him to break out with his soldiers.
Wang Hao, holding a sword in hand, joined the battle group and rushed forward with the archers.
