Chapter 165: Piercing and Recovering

g's heart sneered. He again rebuked the yamen officers, "Are you deaf I told you to release him!"Today, this face (matter), he must bring it back!However, the constables remained unmoved, only turning...The squads sent out quickly returned, having "invited" people from each prominent family, and then locked them all up in the county jail.

Yang Lin then personally led a group of people to Wu's manor on the outskirts of the city.

Before reaching the manor, Yang Lin halted the main force and called over Zhong Tao, Zi Yi, and several squad leaders who had joined the bodyguard unit first and fought in Black Wind Mountain.

Yang Lin whispered, "There are a total of one hundred and twenty bandits inside. They all have weapons, including bows and arrows!"

While we have a large number of people, most of us haven't seen battle before. Furthermore, the situation within is complicated and not in our favor. Therefore, this battle cannot be fought head-on.

“I'm going to form an assault team to break through quickly like lightning! The assault team only needs fifty people. They have to be fearless and courageous, willing to fight and die for it. Tao Ge, you arrange this.”

"Yes!" Zhong Tao nodded.

Soon, fifty people were selected.

All fifty people were very excited and eager to try.

Of the twenty, all were former guards who had training in archery and crossbow use.

The remaining thirty men were also tall and powerful.

Yang Lin picked out ten of the tallest men: "You ten, as shield bearers, hold your large shields in front. Your duty is to protect the spearmen and crossbowmen behind you!"

"You twenty men, as pikemen, wait until after you charge in. When you hear my order, when I shout 'thrust', then thrust your pikes forward; when I shout 'retreat', then pull back your pikes!"

As for you...

Yang Lin looked at the veterans of the guard and said, "I won't need to explain. Each of you bring thirty crossbow arrows, your mission is to shoot at the mark!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Victory in this battle, each person receives one to two silver coins! In the future, there is a chance to be promoted to squad leader! If anyone unfortunately dies in battle, their family will receive one hundred silver coins as compensation!"

Everyone's eyes were red with excitement, growing even more so.

With this hundred taels of condolence silver, who would be afraid of death

"Tao Ge, later you divide the manpower to guard the front gate, back gate, and all around the walls of the courtyard. Don't let any bandits escape!"

"You personally lead a hundred men in, and provide cover for us."

Zhong Tao was taken aback: "You're going in too This is impossible, it's too dangerous!"

"I've made my decision. That's what we're going to do."

Yang Lin said without a doubt.

Zhong Tao gritted his teeth and could only nod.

He knew Yang Lin's temper, once he made a decision, he wouldn't change it.

Immediately, he arranged it.

Wu Yong on the side, listening to Yang Lin's arrangement, was overjoyed!

With only fifty people, you're going to rush in and fight one hundred and twenty bandits

This is practically asking for death!

Hehehe, simply don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If they could all die here...

Wu Yong's heart rose again with the hope of survival.

"Let's go!"

At Yang Lin's command, the large force immediately split into several squads and began to maneuver around the manor.

Meanwhile, inside the manor.

Several different bandit leaders were drinking and reveling, boasting about their past deeds of murder, arson, and plunder. When they were drunk, the door was suddenly pushed open and a small thug rushed in.

"The king is in danger! Someone has broken in!"

The little thug cried out in terror.

The bandit leader immediately stood up and roared, "Damn it! Who the hell is this, who ate a bear's gall to dare interrupt us while we drink"

"How many people are on the other side" asked a clever one at once.

"Uh... there are over fifty of them, they killed the guard at the gate and have already gotten into the courtyard!"

"Only over fifty people"

Suddenly, these bandit leaders scoffed. "Call your brothers and see who's looking for death!"

These bandit leaders staggered to their feet, each grabbing their weapons and cursing as they walked out the door.

They were all nothing but petty hill bandits, only daring to bully the local peasants. They wouldn't even dare to enter the county town.

Now, under the matchmaking of Magistrate Wu, they gathered together, reaching a staggering number of one hundred and twenty people! This gave them a feeling of "I am invincible" and "everything is under my control"!

To hear that the other side only has about fifty people, who would they even put us in their eyes

When they stumbled out of the house, they saw a small group of people gathered in the courtyard. Their formation was so tight that it looked like there weren't many of them.

However, just as someone was about to speak, a loud shout rang out from within the ranks.

"Shoot!"

Immediately, swoosh swoosh swoosh—

A torrential barrage of sword strikes came crashing down!

Suddenly, more than half of the dozen or so bandit leaders fell to the ground, seemingly unaware of what had happened until their deaths.

And the bandits who had luckily dodged that volley of gunfire were suddenly sobered up.

"Come, come, everyone!!"

Several bandit leaders shouted frantically.

Several rooms around them, bandits in disarray burst out, but they all looked bewildered and didn't know what had happened.

Brothers, they have archers! Charge in and slay them!

The bandits were suddenly wide awake and hurriedly drew their swords, charging towards the formation.

However, they had only taken a few steps out when another volley of arrows came flying at them!

More than a dozen bandits, who were still standing, were quickly reduced to only a few.

These remaining bandits, seeing their comrades fall one after another, were terrified and turned to run.

"Damn it! Don't all of you run! Charge at me!"

They are all archers! If we charge in, they'll be dead for sure!

The bandit leaders all shouted.

In their eyes, drawing a bow and arrow wasn't that fast, and the fact they could release a second volley in such a short time indicated that these people were all archers!

To deal with archers, you have to get up close and personal!

More and more bandits rushed out of the house and charged towards the formation.

"Shoot!"

Another round of volleys.

After taking down a dozen or so bandits, the remaining ones, eyes bloodshot, continued to charge towards the formation.

They want to charge in and kill those archers!

Closer, closer!

As they got closer and closer, about to charge right in front of these "archers"......

"Raise your shields!"

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, the first row of people raised their huge shields. At the same time, spears poked out from the gaps in the shields, charging at the frontmost bandits and leaving them with bloody holes on their bodies.

"Got it!"

That voice gave another command, the spears were withdrawn, and besides a few more corpses on the ground, there was no change in formation.

The few remaining bandits were instantly petrified with fear.

They dare not take another step forward.

And just then, that voice, like it came from hell itself, capable of reaping their lives, sounded again.

"Shoot!"

"Swish swish swish—"

After another barrage of arrows, these bandits who didn't know whether to charge forward or run backward were left with no choice.permaking technique completely!Because the entire papermaking process is divided into five major parts, each part is relatively independent. Each part is further divided into many smaller parts, all o...
