Chapter 70: For the Sake of Village by the Mountain!

s.Although they didn't speak, they all blamed Yang Lin in their hearts.If they don't take this order and honestly continue making tofu, although they won't make a lot of money, if they accumulate it g...The young man fell straight forward in front of the villagers.

Suddenly, everyone was scared stiff and couldn't move.

"Run! I want to see if your legs are faster or my arrows!"

"hahahaha!"

"Tiger Brother's divine arrows are invincible!"

"Tiger Brother is mighty!"

The bandits held up their swords and shouted.

After two people died in succession, the villagers were terrified and no one dared to leave anymore.

The bandits rode their horses, circling around the villagers like herding sheep. They quickly gathered everyone together and drove them toward the village.

The villagers' eyes were filled with tears, but they dared not speak out of anger.

Outside the village, Zhong Tao was leading his guards on patrol when he suddenly saw villagers repairing the road and bandits riding horses. His face changed color instantly.

"

Oh no, it's bandits!

"

"Kong Liang, you go back and tell Yang Lin! Tell him, there are sixteen bandits, all on horseback! Make him... make him careful!"

Zhong Tao originally wanted to say "let him run away quickly," but thinking of Yang Lin's personality, he knew Yang Lin would probably not run. So, he changed it to "be careful."

"Tao Ge, what are you guys going to do"

Kong Liang watched Zhong Tao nervously.

Zhong Tao's face was heavy: "You go quickly! I'll find a way here!"

"Great!"

Kong Liang didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the village.

The bandits were less than a hundred paces away. Despite this, the faces of the guards remained fearless.

"Tao Ge, what do we do"

Everyone was waiting for Zhong Tao to make the decision.

Zhong Tao said earnestly: "Our guard team is paid so much money precisely to protect our neighbors and friends. Now that bandits have arrived, if we run away too, what use would our guard team be"

"We've fought bandits before, and we can't back down in this battle!"

Are you afraid

Everyone shook their heads, but there was an undeniable tension on their faces.

On the day the guard team was established, Yang Lin said, "If anyone dies protecting everyone, I will offer thirty taels of silver as compensation!"

"I, Zhong Tao, am also afraid of death, but behind us there are not only our parents and fellow villagers, but also our own families."

"If we run away, we'll leave our families behind for the bandits!"

“I believe Yang Lin keeps his word. I, Zhong Tao, am willing to give up my life today. As for my wife, children and elderly relatives, they will have enough money to live on!”

Zhong Tao spoke, holding a long spear in his hand, poised behind him.

He knew well that these bandits were distinctly different from the ones who had come before.

In the Great Qin Dynasty, horses were very valuable!

Even in the military, the number of cavalry was far less than that of infantry.

And these bandits, each one of them riding a horse, just this alone is enough to show that these bandits are not easy to deal with!

He's been on the battlefield, he knows that when infantry faces a cavalry charge with equal numbers, they are as fragile as paper and easily crushed!

Now, the bandits have sixteen people, but they only have nine.

Nine farmers with almost no combat experience, against sixteen vicious, mounted bandits. Zhong Tao naturally knew this battle was hopeless!

Even if we can't stop the bandits, we must delay them for our families behind us! Give them a chance to escape!

The expressions of the guards all grew heavy as well.

They each drew their weapons, lining up in a single file, using their bodies to block the path into the village!

Now their weapons, are no longer the original farm tools, but have been replaced with spears and swords forged from refined iron by the blacksmiths.

But as the bandits drew closer and closer, he became increasingly nervous.

What's going on

Heihu, seeing the guards from afar blocking the entrance of the village, frowned. "Who, who knows This, this Baoshan Village, strange, strange things really, really damn many!" Er Dangjia muttered.

The villagers also saw the guards.

Upon learning that the guard unit not only hadn't fled but was standing their ground at the village entrance, as if prepared to fight the bandits to the death, a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts, and they all became excited.

The black tiger's face was sullen and changeable.

He saw the weapons in the bodyguard's hands, and his frown deepened.

Formerly, wherever they went to plunder, who dared to resist They all willingly handed over their wealth and knelt down begging for mercy.

But this small mountain village gave him a sense of unease!

At this moment, he was somewhat regretful for taking on this task.

However, the nearby village of Heishan was right in front of him. He had already come this far, and if he were to be scared away by a little bad feeling, he wouldn't be Black Tiger!

"Second and Third, how many men do you bring Wipe out these obstructing bastards for me!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Yes!"

The Second Master and Third Master immediately led six men, charging toward Zhong Tao and his companions on horseback.

"Up!!"

Meanwhile, Zhong Tao also shouted.

"Avoid their horses!"

For the sake of Lianshan Village!

"Come on, let's go!"

Zhong Tao, alone with a single shot, took the lead and rushed out first.

When he was in the army, although he was just a private, he also knew the principle that "one soldier is like a bear cub, and one general is like a den of bears."

Whenever a general shouts, "Follow me!" and charges into battle, the soldiers become bloodthirsty and desperately follow him.

And if the general shouts, "Charge!" but doesn't advance alongside his soldiers, the soldiers often lack fighting spirit too.

At this moment, Zhong Tao was carrying a spear and charging at the forefront.

Although he only had eight people behind him, he felt like he was leading thousands of soldiers charging into enemy territory!

"Charge!!"

The guards also shouted in agreement.

The black tiger's eyes narrowed slightly.

He also saw Zhong Tao's bearing, which was different from that of others.

However, the two sides clashed only for a fleeting instant.

In just a fleeting instant, two guards were thrown from their mounts by the charging horses.

Two other people were hacked by the bandits' knives and cried out in pain as they fell to the ground.

Although the rest were temporarily fine, these bandits had already charged past them, and they hadn't been able to harm a single one.

Only Zhong Tao, seizing the moment of the charge, lunged his spear and pierced a bandit, flinging him from his horse!

However, even so, it is a foregone conclusion.

It was just a moment, the five remaining men still standing, surrounded by bandits on both sides.

Several faces turned pale, their hands gripping weapons trembling involuntarily.

The Black Tiger charged forward on horseback, and the rest of the bandits also turned back, each brandishing a large knife, surrounding several people tightly.

Immediately, some cowardly ones dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Some people knelt, and the remaining momentum vanished in an instant. The rest of them also dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Seeing that the tide had turned, Zhong Tao felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Taking advantage of the bandits' show of force, he feigned putting down his weapon while suddenly springing up. With a flick of his spear, he swept across the group.

The bandits hurriedly dodged, and Zhong Tao took the opportunity to rush out and ran towards the village.

The bandits didn't pursue.

Because Black Tiger took out his bow again, drew it back, and aimed at Zhong Tao's back! the women were still confused.Yang Lin smiled and said, "I ask you, what determines the value of an object""It's simple, rarity makes things valuable!"This stone water, though the cost is nearly zero...
