Chapter 105: It's better to fight than to die

The deputy team leader, who was watching the battle on horseback far away from the battlefield, realized something was wrong when he saw this scene. The weapons in the hands of these two young boys, whose fur had not even fully grown, might be fishy.

Seeing that more than twenty or thirty brothers were lost, the deputy captain narrowed his eyes and gave an order. The small team of twenty people who gathered around him to block the gap quickly took out the bows and arrows from their backs. When the captain waved his hand, the twenty people bent their bows and drew their arrows together. While Li Yaoguang and Shen Yue were fighting fiercely in front, arrows came towards them like raindrops.

Fortunately, Shen Yue was really powerful. Even in that situation, he could detect Li Yaoguang's eavesdropping, not to mention the noise of just a few dozen arrows being shot.

During the battle, Shen Yue's ears twitched, and he keenly sensed that something was wrong. He swung the scimitar in his hand handsomely and killed a Hu soldier in front of him. At the same time, he reached out to grasp the handle of the scimitar again. At the same time, he grabbed the corpse in front of him with one hand, used the enemy's body as a shield, and quickly crossed to Li Yaoguang's side. He pushed the corpse full of arrows forward, hooked Li Yaoguang's waist with one hand, swung and chopped with the scimitar in his hand, and successfully took Li Yaoguang behind an open courtyard gate, temporarily avoiding the fierce rain of arrows.

At the same time, the people outside screamed in fear. Shen Yue tried to show his head several times but was pushed back by the rain of arrows. Li Yaoguang looked anxious and thought of something. She flipped her hand and took out the crossbow that Gao Dayao had given her.

She had two crossbow boxes, including one that came with the crossbow, for a total of three boxes with sixty crossbow arrows. She had coated one of the boxes with poison. As it was dark, Li Yaoguang was afraid of accidentally hurting her own people, so she didn't take it. Instead, she took out the other one and poked the person next to her with her elbow.

Seeing what Li Yaoguang handed to him, Shen Yue paused, with a moment of surprise in his eyes. However, when he thought of what Brother Cheng said about this little girl having magical powers, Shen Yue felt relieved again.

Just when Shen Yue was about to move with the crossbow in his arms, suddenly, the little girl in front of him shouted in a loud voice.

"Fellow villagers, please stop crying and howling. The barbarians are cannibals. Look at our village, look at yourself, look at your wives and children, and then look at the villagers who have fallen... Fellow villagers, we cannot escape unless the enemy is dead. We will die anyway. Instead of waiting to die, we might as well pick up the weapons in our hands and fight them. Only by cutting a bloody path can we survive!"

Shen Yue looked at Li Yaoguang in surprise, but she had no intention of explaining. Instead, she continued to instigate the villagers to rise up in resistance.

"Fellow villagers, for the sake of our homes, for the safety of our wives and children, follow me, let's fight him to the bitter end, and kill him!"

In the darkness, a man of blood was encouraged by Li Yaoguang's words and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Yeah, damn it, I don't want to die, so I have to let this dog Hu Bing die!"

Immediately there were responses from all directions.

"My mother, my son will avenge you!"

"Ah, you damned Hu Bing, today it's either you die or I live."

Hearing the voice, Li Yaoguang took the opportunity to pat Shen Yue on the shoulder and raised his chin. Shen Yue understood and immediately held the crossbow in his hand. While the enemy was listening around to identify the position and shooting arrows wildly, he took a deep breath and leaped, and the crossbow arrow in his hand flew out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

At the same time, the sound of blood was heard from all directions. The trapped beasts hiding in the dark raised their hoes and axes and rushed out from all directions with a burst of energy.

"Kill him! Fuck him!"

"Damn it! I'm a real man, how can I be worse than two kids?"

"Fight with them. The worst that can happen is that I will die. Eighteen years later, I will be a hero again!" Li Yaoguang took advantage of the moment when Shen Yue flew out to fight, and his hand flashed again. He actually took out the yellow pottery brazier that had played a great role in the space, and smashed it hard at the firewood pile of someone's house on the roadside corner outside the door.

In order to prevent the fire from starting due to the thick snow, she also took a jar of strong liquor and threw it over along with the yellow pottery basin.

With two crisp sounds like porcelain, the huge pile of firewood outside was instantly ignited. The flames ignored the snow and burned with the help of the north wind, instantly tearing through the darkness in front of them and providing convenience for the people who were rushing in.

These civilians were not well-trained soldiers. They were out killing the enemy just because they didn't want to die. Many of them also had night blindness due to poor nutrition. Without light, they would not be able to distinguish friend from foe. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, Li Yaoguang took the risk even though he knew the fire would bring convenience to the enemy.

"Fellow villagers, kill them! Killing one will cover your losses, and killing two will earn you a profit! The more enemies you kill, the more chances you have to survive. Kill..."

Under the light of the fire, all darkness is exposed.

The people, some holding sickles, some holding hatchets, some holding axes, some holding axes, came out from every nook and cranny to fight with Hu Bing, which greatly relieved the pressure on Shen Yue who was fighting alone.

Li Yaoguang was not willing to be outdone. He once again held an electric baton in one hand and a dagger in the other, stabbing and stabbing everyone silently. His movements were extremely smooth and silky. He finally got close to Shen Yue, but saw that Hu Bing gradually mastered the rhythm and gained the upper hand again. The people were defeated one after another. Li Yaoguang thought to himself that this was not good and shouted again.

"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. We can't retreat. If we retreat, we will die. If we can't defeat them alone, we can attack them together in groups of three or five. We can divide them up. Even ants with a large number can kill an elephant. We have more people, so we can kill them."

When the common people who were fighting with Hu Di heard this, they thought, this is really the case, and immediately did as they were told. They stopped being brave and formed groups with people they knew well. You protected me and I protected you. You came forward and stabbed me, and I hit you from behind with a shovel, and Hu Di was beaten until he screamed.

The deputy captain who was watching the battle couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing that his side had suffered heavy casualties, his face turned black. Especially after he saw that the other side was a little girl giving orders, he stared at Li Yaoguang with a pair of vicious eyes. He simply went down to the field himself, holding a scimitar and killing Li Yaoguang, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Shen Yue.

The number of arrows Hu Di brought was limited. After all, he was only dealing with ordinary Dajing civilians, not regular troops. He looked down on them and let them relax, so he thought the few arrows he brought would be enough.

As a result, after two waves of arrows, the quivers were empty. Seeing that their leader was killed, the remaining twenty confidants drew their scimitars at their waists one after another, dismounted and fought with the Dajing people. The scene was chaotic and stalemate, with only the sound of clanging swords being heard incessantly.

Li Yaoguang, who was busy stabbing people's buttocks with a knife in the dark, even saw that some women, children and the elderly were brave enough to take action. Although they did not dare to confront the strong Hu Di head-on, they dared to launch sneak attacks on the fallen Hu Di, and often several of them cooperated to attack the remaining soldiers.

Li Yaoguang was very pleased to see this, but when she thought of Jianshenghao, she quickly reminded him, "Fellow villagers, our weapons are stained with poison. The Hu Di we stabbed are all poisoned. Jianshenghao, everyone should be careful when finishing off the enemy. Poisonous blood can kill people. Don't touch those with wounds..."

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Dalang was urging his son to beat up the mother and son who had just been dragged over by Hu Bing. The kitchen knife in his hand slipped as if he had been electrocuted, and he fell to the ground, crying, "Mom, it's poisonous, it's poisonous, this damn thing is poisonous..."

After experiencing this catastrophe and watching the people around her fall one by one, Aunt Wu grew up to be unusually strong overnight. She pushed her disappointing son away with one hand, scolded him for being a coward, picked up the kitchen knife that fell on the ground, and slashed it on Hu Di's neck as if she was killing a chicken. Her movements were shaky but steady, and Hu Bing became a dead soul in the blink of an eye.

Aunt Wu let out a breath, and her hand holding the kitchen knife became more determined. Wu Dalang, who was standing next to her, felt a chill down his spine when he saw his own mother wiping someone's neck so skillfully, and he hurried over to try to please and explain.

"Mom, mom, it's not that my son is disobedient, it's, yes, that's right, my son has a wound on his hand, hehe, you can't touch it if it's injured."

"hehe!"

Aunt Wu glared at her cowardly son in annoyance, not wanting to see him at all. She pushed away the delivery son who came up to her and spat. Seeing another Hu soldier fall down in front of her, she called her daughter-in-law from the clan elder who had suddenly become bold, and the two of them worked together, one to drag the man away while the other finished off the enemy, and they were done.
