They formed a circle and watched the horse bandits roaring towards them.

"Those inside take off their cotton clothes and use them as protection for those outside."

Liu Wen shouted.

As he spoke, he was the first to take off his cotton official robe.

It was already winter at this time.

The Jin Yiwei and the people inside also took off their cotton robes and handed them outside. As for them, they actually carried shields. These Jin Yiwei were used to life and death following Liu Wen, and they had already had this awareness. In fact, they still had cotton armor inside.

The people outside immediately covered themselves with multiple layers of cotton-padded clothes. As long as two or three layers of cotton-padded clothes were used, they could basically block the arrows of the horse bandits. The young and strong men carrying farm tools such as hoes were like spearmen.

His farm tools stick out from the middle.

Then pick up the stone directly under your feet.

A dense defensive formation was immediately formed.

"We've all fought in battles!"

Liu Wen said unexpectedly.

"Master Qingtian, Nanyang is a place where there will always be wars between the north and the south. Those who don't know how to fight will not survive."

A middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Who is that person!"

Liu Wen put the binoculars on his eyes and looked at Li Yi who was shouting in front of the dense forest.

"Young master of the Li family, what we are clearing is his family's land. The last time we ransacked the house, Mr. Li who was angry to death was his father. He is here for revenge. Folks, it is the horse bandits brought by Li Yi. He is back

He avenged his father and came back to steal our land."

The latter immediately shouted.

"Fight them!"

"How dare this bitch come back!"

…

The people around were angry.

At this time, the horse bandits led by Harding had already started shooting arrows in this direction.

The young man in front immediately raised his cotton robe, while the young man in the back stood as close as possible.

"put!"

Liu Wen shouted.

Then he opened fire with the short gun in his hand.

The effective aiming range of this thing is similar to that of a cavalry bow.

It just has poor armor-breaking ability.

But the horse bandits didn't have armor either.

As the gunshots in his hand rang out, a horse bandit holding a bow and arrow fell off his horse. However, the arrows they shot also fell among the civilians. However, the layers of cotton-padded clothes in the hands of the latter provided good cover, and most of the arrows fell on the cotton-padded clothes.

On the robe, this kind of defense similar to a city defense barrier can easily block arrows. In fact, real city defenders can even use this method to block stones thrown by trebuchets. Even if some arrows fall on the crowd, because they are all crowded together.

, the injured could not leave, and still maintained a dense formation.

At the same time, the short muskets in the hands of the Jin Yiwei also opened fire.

The horse bandits fell one after another.

After finishing one round, these Jin Yiwei raised their second short muskets and threw them to the Qingzhang team members. They were responsible for loading. The young men also started to pick up the stones under their feet and threw them at the horse bandits.

The latter's purpose was to kill Liu Wen, and it was not far from Nanyang Guard's military camp, so they had to fight quickly. This kind of shooting was useless. After all, bows and arrows could not shoot muskets. Then Harding personally led the team and began

They attacked the people and tried to drive them away, but before the horse bandits carrying spears could rush forward, they were faced with countless rocks flying towards them.

It's all under the feet of these common people.

Throwing stones is a basic skill for the shepherd boy, and it is very accurate at close range.

The horse bandits at the front were smashed until their faces were covered in blood, and one of them fell down screaming.

"Don't panic, keep fighting them. If they want to take away the fields assigned to you, you have to fight them desperately. I can give the fields to you, but if you don't want them to be taken away again, you have to protect your fields.

"

Liu Wen shouted.

At the same time he took out a rocket and lit the fuse.

The rocket quickly roared straight into the sky.

"Hold on, reinforcements from Nanyang Guard will arrive soon."

he shouted.

Rockets exploded in the sky.

At this time, the first batch of horse bandits who rushed to Rock Hill were already fighting with the common people. Although their spears had a huge advantage, the latter refused to retreat and they had no choice. Some of the young men who were stabbed by spears were even caught directly.

Holding the spear. The young man squeezed in the middle and holding a hoe or something like that immediately moved forward and plowed towards the horse bandit. Although the latter was riding a horse, after being blocked, he still responded to the hoe that was being plowed towards him.

There's really no good way.

The horse bandit was repeatedly being dug into, hooked to the body and torn off.

Then he was beaten to death by a young man holding a stone.

The two sides even engaged in a bloody battle on the battlefield.

Qing Zhuang, who was throwing stones from behind, was more accurate at this distance and almost never missed.

Behind him, the Jin Yiwei's bullets were perfect.

After all, it was only twenty or thirty meters away. This distance was enough to catch up with the lobster soldiers lining up to shoot them.

"Don't be afraid. Each of those who died in the battle will receive a pension of two hundred guan, and those who were injured will be exempted from taxes for ten years. I am a disciple of the late emperor, a student taught by the ruling princess and Ambassador Yang. I will ask you for a reward from the ruling princess."

Liu Wen shouted.

Then he shot down a horse bandit.

At the same time, an arrow landed on him, but was blocked by the soft armor inside.

He also has raw silk soft armor on his body, and even wears a forged steel carburized insert similar to a bulletproof insert.

The arrow was directly deflected.

However, he looked in the direction of the military camp with some surprise.

Because the rocket responding there has not yet appeared.
Chapter completed!
