"Leader, should we help them? If this continues, those people brought by Zheng Daqiu will collapse." A person following Ma Yunjiu on horseback said worriedly.
"Don't worry. Only a few people were injured by bows and arrows. Most of them are fine. Give Zheng Daqiu some more time." Ma Yunjiu looked at the battlefield in the distance.
The fires outside the car array were extinguished one by one, and the area around the originally bright grain truck became completely dark.
You can still see some black shadows shaking close to the vehicle formation, but you can't see them clearly at a distance. This makes the archers behind the grain trucks less accurate, and the threat to the rogue bandits outside the vehicle array is not as good as before, leaving many rogue bandits vulnerable. Got the chance to rush to the grain truck.
puff!
Liu Heng's knife ended up killing a bandit who climbed onto the grain truck and tried to jump into the truck array.
Seeing more and more gangsters climbing onto the grain truck, and more figures swaying behind them, rushing towards the grain truck, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, these people are here to rob us of the food we have worked so hard for. If I want you to starve to death, what do you think we should do?"
"Kill them!" Yang Yuan, who was not far away, immediately shouted.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The refugee recruits subconsciously shouted the word "kill".
Some of the refugee recruits, who were already a little frightened, felt their chests heat up as they shouted kill, and they became excited. For a moment, they forgot their fear, picked up the wooden spears in their hands and stabbed the black figure who had just climbed onto the grain truck. .
The tip of the wooden spear has been roasted by fire and is hard in texture, not as good as the iron spear but about the same.
Facing those rogue bandits who didn't even have armor and only wore rags, they stabbed them with a spear and broke through their bodies. Many bandits didn't even have a chance to react before being stabbed to death by wooden spears.
The new refugee recruits who had killed people became more courageous. Whenever someone climbed up the grain truck they were guarding, they would raise their hands and stab them.
Many times, bandits who climbed onto the grain truck were stabbed by two or three wooden spears at the same time. Even if they escaped one wooden spear, they would be stabbed by wooden spears coming from other directions.
More and more gangsters were stabbed and rolled off the grain carts.
Chen Xunping led twenty archers back to the rear of the grain truck, keeping a distance from the grain truck. As long as someone climbed onto the grain truck, he would shoot an arrow at him.
The combination of the refugee recruits and archers, and the combination of wooden spears and arrows seemed to form a death zone. No matter how many bandits came, they could not get past the grain carts.
Originally, the three volleys of archers' fire could only cause about forty casualties among Zheng Daqiu's bandits, but as soon as they attacked the grain truck, no less than fifty people were killed or injured.
Most of the bandits died after falling under the grain carts, and only a few lucky bandits were still alive.
"Kill me! Kill everyone inside. The food and money are all yours." Zheng Daqiu shouted with red eyes.
But the rogues were only made of flesh and blood after all. They failed to break through the grain carts several times, but suffered heavy casualties. Finally, some of the bandits couldn't help being afraid and began to escape to both sides of the grain carts.
Some people took the lead to escape, but some of the bandits who were struggling to hold on could no longer hold on, so they dispersed and followed them to escape.
Like toppled dominoes, more and more bandits began to flee for their own lives. The remaining group of nearly a hundred bandits became completely chaotic. No matter how much Zheng Daqiu scolded, it was useless. No one was listening to him.
"Win!" Yang Yuan said excitedly.
Liu Heng let out a long breath and said: "Be careful, we haven't won yet, the other side has a cavalry team that hasn't taken action yet."
"Understood." Yang Yuan nodded.
…
Ma Yunjiu was riding on horseback, looking at the bandits running around without restraint, and said to the people around him: "Shout with me, Zheng Daqiu colluded with Blind Wu to betray the camp, and everyone will be punished."
"Leader, Zheng Daqiu..."
Before he could finish his words, Ma Yunjiu scolded him: "You can shout as much as you want. After you finish shouting, come with me and charge to kill!"
"Who to kill?" The man next to him asked in confusion, "It can't be Zheng Daqiu and the bandits he brought!"
Ma Yunjiu glanced at him and said, "If you know, you still ask, just shout!"
The man next to him changed his expression, and finally said to the others: "Shout with me, Zheng Daqiu colluded with Blind Wu to betray the camp, and everyone will kill him!"
Ma Yunjiu rushed out immediately. With a wave of his saber, a bandit who fled in his direction was immediately beheaded.
Voices of killing Zheng Daqiu arose one after another, and people everywhere shouted that Zheng Daqiu had colluded with Blind Wu to betray the camp.
Zheng Daqiu, who was about to reorganize the bandits to attack the car formation again, was suddenly stunned when he heard these voices, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He turned around and looked at the cavalry rushing towards him from behind him, and opened his mouth to defend himself. At this moment, he felt a stinging pain on his neck, and saw his body falling to the ground with his own eyes, but his head was still hanging in the air.
Only then did I hear someone shouting loudly: "Zheng Daqiu has been killed by me! Zheng Daqiu has been killed by me!"
Only then did Zheng Daqiu realize that he had been killed, and his last bit of consciousness disappeared.
"Kill! These are all the people who followed Zheng Daqiu and rebelled from the camp. No one will be left alive." Ma Yunjiu shouted on horseback. At the same time, he rushed to the bandit who was carrying Zheng Daqiu's head and chopped off his head with a knife.
Under Ma Yunjiu's order, the cavalry began to chase the fleeing bandits. When they caught up, they cut them down without mercy.
Nearly a hundred bandits died under the pursuit of the cavalry. Only a few lucky bandits escaped alive under the cover of night.
Yang Yuan, who was hiding behind the grain truck, saw the scene outside and asked with confusion: "How come these people in the cavalry team even killed their own people?"
Liu Heng, who also saw this scene, immediately understood the other party's intention and said: "Ma Yunjiu needs a scapegoat, and Zheng Daqiu and the bandits he brought are perfect."
Yang Yuan said: "Wouldn't killing Zheng Daqiu and the others weaken their own strength? They actually did such a stupid thing."
"Don't worry, Ma Yunjiu will not fight with us again. Zheng Daqiu and those bandits are what he gave us." Liu Heng put the knife into the scabbard with his backhand.
Ma Yunjiu led the cavalry to chase down the bandits who escaped for a while, then returned to the place where the grain truck stopped a few dozen steps away. He said, "Is Brother Shuheng here?"
"Captain Ma, it's really hard to bring the cavalry out so late." Liu Heng replied from behind the grain truck.
"It turns out to be Brother Liu Heng." Ma Yunjiu said, clasping his fists on horseback, "Zheng Daqiu colluded with Blind Wu to defect from the camp. Unexpectedly, he brought his men who defected with him to intercept and kill Brother Liu Heng. I After getting the news, he came with the cavalry, but fortunately, he was in time and killed Zheng Daqiu and his men. Now that Zheng Daqiu's head is here, do you want Brother Liu Heng to verify it?"
As he spoke, he picked up a human head and threw it to the ground.
"Here's the leader of the horse," Liu Heng said from behind the grain truck. "It's a bit hard for us to drive such a long way. We need to take a rest. I won't leave the leader of the horse to lead you. The leader of the horse should go back to the camp to deliver the message first!"
Ma Yunjiu said with a smile: "It's still a long way from the camp. Why don't I let the cavalry stay and escort you back to the camp in case the escaped bandits come back again."
