"Brothers, copy the guy!" Now there was no other way but to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, so Ye Ying shouted, walked out of the hiding place, raised his long knife and stood in the center of the ramp.
When the bandits who rushed ahead saw this young man who was not very strong, they thought they had encountered a weakling and immediately rushed over excitedly. Unexpectedly, when they met each other, two corpses were left on the road.
At this time, Chen Tianshun saw clearly that the guy blocking the ramp was actually the young officer who had ruined his good deeds last time. Under the old and new grudges, regardless of the fact that he was not Ye Ying's opponent, he rushed towards Ye Ying with the ghost head sword in his hand.
The two "old friends" fought together, and the remaining bandits also started fighting with the soldiers on the ramp.
The bandits' fighting power was not strong, but their victory was due to their large numbers, and their momentum was overwhelming for a while. The soldiers who were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers had to rely on the advantages of the terrain to support themselves. But it was not bad, because the mountain road was relatively narrow, they were able to block the bandits firmly, and even left a few turns.
One side is bound to win, and the other side will fight to the death. As soon as this battle comes into contact, a very fierce battle begins.
Chen Tianshun was no match for Ye Ying. He relied on his courage to fight Ye Ying for several rounds. He couldn't bear it any more. Fortunately, several of his relatively strong bandits tried their best to help Chen Tianshun block some of Ye Ying's attacks, so he could barely hold on.
Taking a break, Chen Tianshun looked at the battle situation around him. He found that in this short period of time, many people had fallen on the ramp, almost all of them were his bandits.
"The injured brother will retreat, and the rest will immediately make up for it. They are few, so don't give them a chance to rest." Chen Tianshun knew that now was not the time to consider casualties, so he shouted loudly, and gritted his teeth and rushed in again. The battle circle.
This fight was very fierce. Since both sides could not retreat, many people who were red-eyed simply gave up their defense completely and launched a desperate attack on the opponent.
Time passed little by little, and the shouts of death below became closer, but they were still far away from where Ye Ying and the others were fighting. It seemed that no one could count on their companions down the mountain in a short time.
The corpses of the bandits were spread out on the ramp, but Ye Ying's men also suffered casualties. However, at this time, everyone was fully engaged in the battle and could no longer care about their companions who fell on the ground.
"Retreat!" Chen Tianshun, who was in the fierce battle, suddenly shouted, and then the bandits retreated down the ramp like a tide.
Ye Ying and his companions breathed a sigh of relief when the bandits actually retreated, but they were a little puzzled. Why did the bandits suddenly withdraw again when they looked like they were fighting to the death just now?
Everyone looked down together and soon discovered the reason, because at this time, another group of people came on the mountain road below. They were not many, only twenty or thirty people.
This group of people seemed to have little fighting power, because among them there were gray-haired old men, bloated women, and even half-grown children with immature faces.
But it was such a group of people that surprised these brave recruit soldiers, because every three or five of them pushed something that looked like a small cart in their hands.
"What? They actually have a catapult." Seeing these things, Ye Ying couldn't help but scream.
Ye Ying had seen the catapult in "Ye Gong's Art of War". The book not only had pictures, but also how to make it, but he had never seen the real thing. He didn't expect to see it in the bandit's cottage today.
The catapults of the Yunzezhai bandits were very crudely made. Compared with the actual pictures in "Ye Gong's Art of War", they were far inferior. Of course, their power was also much smaller.
But at this moment, this kind of thing that can only throw stones a dozen meters away can cause great trouble to Ye Ying and others, because they can't retreat at this time, and there aren't many things nearby to block them. .
Chen Tianshun obviously understood this, and he withdrew all the attacking bandits in order to give these catapults room to fully exert their power.
Next, Ye Ying and others could only watch helplessly as the bandits built the catapults one by one, then placed the stones as big as a human head on the catapults, and then shot them towards the top of the slope. .
"Get down and find cover." Looking at the whizzing rocks, Ye Ying had no choice but to give the order in a hurry.
Just as Ye Ying expected, these stones brought great trouble to the soldiers in the new barracks. Several soldiers who had no time to dodge were hit by the stones. Some of them suffered head injuries and bleeding, while some of the more serious ones fell to the ground.
Some soldiers hiding behind small trees were also unlucky, because these branches with "thin arms and legs" could not block the boulders at all, so the soldiers hiding behind them also suffered.
"Son of a bitch, I will fight with you!" Seeing that the number of soldiers was quickly reduced by nearly half, the impatient Qi Jiao couldn't help it. He simply rushed out, raised the big stick in his hand and hit the flying soldiers fiercely. The rocks hit him.
Qi Jiao's strength was not in vain. The big iron rod in his hand weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, but it was easy for him to do so. Stones the size of a human head were smashed away by him, and he even knocked them away. Some stones were smashed into several pieces.
Seeing that Qi Jiao's method was feasible, Ye Ying also rushed out, raised his spear and picked at the flying stones. He quickly knocked away many stones, which suddenly relieved the pressure on the soldiers behind him.
Shan Yan and Zhao Hu also rushed out in time. The masters of the four martial arts realm were lined up in a row and these stones. After the ping -pong hit, these unpleasant stones were given to the soldiers. They cause harm.
After continuing to let the rocks fly for a while, Chen Tianshun saw that they could no longer receive the effect of the attack, and the sound of fighting below was getting closer and closer. Knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, he waved his big hand and ordered the charge. The bandits rushed up again, screaming.
Now the bandits also know that if this passage cannot be opened again, they and their families will probably end up here. Under this situation, they also burst out with unprecedented courage and fought for their lives with Ye Ying and others who were guarding the hillside.
Facing these bandits who suddenly seemed to have taken stimulants, Ye Ying and his soldiers had a headache. Although their combat power was stronger than these bandits, they had not been able to rest after repeated battles and were now exhausted.
At this time, due to attrition caused by casualties, the soldiers could no longer rotate and had to grit their teeth and persevere. Ye Ying's sword flew up and down, trying to kill Chen Tianshun in front of him, leaving a group of bandits without their leader, but his wish obviously could not be realized.
Because although Chen Tianshun's kung fu was not as good as Ye Ying's, he was not stupid. He did not choose to challenge Ye Ying in a one-on-one fight, but instead surrounded Ye Ying with several bandits who were quite good in kung fu.
The number of Ye Ying's soldiers was far inferior to that of Chen Tianshun and his bandits. Almost everyone fought against several bandits, and no one had the means to come to his aid. The masters among the bandits were also very smart and did not give Ye Ying a chance to deal with Chen Tianshun, forcing him to fall into endless fights.
After the battle, Ye Ying was already covered in blood. Although most of it was from the bandits, he still suffered some minor injuries. Beside Ye Ying, Qi Jiao and others were also scarred, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted, with no intention of retreating.
However, at this time, Ye Ying and his men had already reached the end of their strength, and looking at this situation, they could not hold on for much longer. The anxious Ye Ying took the time to raise his head and looked in the direction of Yunze Village down the mountain, but there was a look of disappointment on his face, because the battle below was still going on and would not end in a short while.
A soldier next to him was concentrating on fighting the bandits in front of him, but he didn't notice that another guy moved next to him, and slashed his neck with the big knife in his hand. Ye Ying quickly dodged and got rid of the bandits in front of him, and knocked away the bandit's sword with his long knife.
"Thank you, Commander!" The soldier who had escaped the disaster realized what he was doing, and quickly said to Ye Ying, before continuing to join the battle.
He has experienced this kind of scene several times. Ye Ying not only has to deal with the enemies in front of him, but also cares about his comrades beside him from time to time. Although he has greatly reduced the casualties of his men, his internal strength and physical exertion are also very huge.
"Look at the knife!" The enemy surrounded by himself and several companions actually rushed out to help others. Chen Tianshun felt insulted. He raised the big knife in his hand and swung it at Ye Ying fiercely.
Normally, Ye Ying would have had many ways to easily avoid this attack, but after a long battle, he was exhausted to the extreme, so he had to twist his body as hard as he could, and even tried to move a few steps to the side, and finally got past Chen Tianshun. This knife.
However, due to the rush and the uneven terrain, Ye Ying stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time and managed to control his body.
As the saying goes, mistakes are easy to make when busy, and because of this embarrassing dodge, he could no longer take into account the surrounding situation, and accidentally exposed his back to a bandit behind him.
Such a good opportunity fell from the sky, and the bandit was overjoyed. He immediately raised the spear in his hand and stabbed Ye Ying in the back.
At this time, Ye Ying didn't notice the danger from behind at all, and even if he had noticed it, it was too late to make other moves.
"Boss, be careful!" At this extremely critical moment, a shout suddenly came from beside Ye Ying, and then, a figure hurriedly rushed behind Ye Ying, blocking the spear that was stabbing Ye Ying.
However, how can a human body withstand a sharp spear? Only a scream was heard, and the spear pierced the figure's back, and then emerged from his chest.
"Sugar cane!" Only then did Ye Ying realize the situation behind him. The person who used his body to block the bandit's spear for him was Gan De, who had been near Ye Ying.
Seeing the bloody spear on Gan De's chest, Ye Ying screamed in grief, and his whole body suddenly burst out with strength. He quickly raised the long knife and slashed at the still proud bandit. Ye Ying was furious. Eagle, this move didn't give the opponent any chance, and a huge human head flew out from the bandit's neck.
But Ye Ying ignored the bandit who had only his body left, and hugged Gande who was crumbling.
"Sugarcane, my good brother!" Ye Ying shouted in pain. He wanted to help Gander pull out the spear inserted into his body, but he knew that staying like this would only accelerate his death, so he could only help him hold his body.
"Boss, Gan De can no longer accompany you. I hope that in the next life I... can... still... follow..." Gan De tried his best to show a smile. Before he could finish his sentence, a large mouthful of blood came out from his mouth. He choked out.
