Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Under Xiao Yunxi's command, the villagers and yamen runners stabbed at least 10 people in two rounds of attacks, achieving considerable results.

The third round of attack,

The bandits figured out where to shoot, avoided being pierced, and looked for opportunities to grab the spears.

"Change the hole!"

The villagers did not understand her meaning, and the yamen runners moved quickly, thrusting their spears through the new gaps and achieving a new round of success.

The situation was stagnant for a short time, and finally the well-trained bandits took the initiative and began to climb the fortifications. The villagers standing on the tables and benches formed groups of two.

He carried a crossbar as thick as his thigh and smashed it into the bandits' heads. Clang, one by one, each one of them had his head blown off.

There are more and more bandits, and the defense line is about to be broken.

"Fire attack!"

Countless pottery jars were thrown out on both sides of the slope, not in the front, but in the middle. Then torches were thrown out, and flames shot up into the sky.

The bandits who were set on fire screamed in agony, and their companions put out the fire with their clothes. Those who could not be put out were stabbed with a knife to prevent them from being burned to death in pain.

The villagers were greatly encouraged and drove the bandits who had come in down.

however,

The separated bandits quickly brought sand from the rear to cover the fire, and the fire was extinguished instantly. The front line of defense was about to be lost, so Xiao Yunxi ordered everyone to retreat.

The unmanned fortifications were breached, and bandits rushed in, fighting each other. The villagers held their weapons and trembled with fear.

"I am Murong Chen, the magistrate of Luochuan County!"

"Stop it all!"

Murong Chen's shout was still useful. The bandits who suddenly broke in did not attack immediately. After all, they were soldiers, not bandits.

"I know your identities very well. Killing innocent people like this is not worthy of your status! Are you willing to be labeled as a traitor?"

The leading bandit had a blank expression on his face.

In his eyes, the villagers in front of him were already dead, the only difference was whether they died early or late. The soldiers had not yet fully reviewed the fortifications, and delaying time would be beneficial to them.

He didn't mind arguing with Murong Chen for a while:

"Since you know our identities, you should also know that it is a soldier's duty to obey orders. The order I received is to clear out Tangjia Village."

Murong Chen shouted:

"A soldier's duty is to defend the country and protect the people, not to harm them!!"

The soldiers actually noticed something was wrong.

The order they received was to massacre the whole village. They thought it was a rebel party or bandits. The enemies they had to eliminate included court officials, ordinary people, and even those who claimed to be county magistrates.

It's not right.

The villagers were also stunned. They weren't bandits? They were border troops?

The fifth child of Ma Cuilan's family went up and slid to his knees.

"Master Jun, don't kill me. I'm innocent. I have nothing to do with this family. Please don't kill me."

Ma Cuilan from next door also came out:

"It has nothing to do with us. You're looking for Xiao Yunxi, right? We thought they were bandits!"

Some people were shaken. In their minds, bandits would kill people indiscriminately, but border troops would not, so it must be a misunderstanding.

"Shabi!"

Xiao Yunxi rolled up her hair, tied it up, and stood facing the wind, holding the saber she had seized from the horse owner.

The torch flickered with a faint light, illuminating her stern face.

The girl has a pretty face, and is obviously the girl next door, with a friendly look in her eyes, but when she draws her sword and mounts her horse, she is filled with murderous intent, making people want to surrender.

The leading man did not expect that such an interesting woman could exist in the small village of Tangjia. The soldiers were already in position.

"kill!"

"kill!"

When Xiao Yunxi and he shouted "kill" at the same time, the attack started instantly. The leading man didn't even see clearly, but found that Xiao Yunxi flashed in front of him with a strange movement.

At the critical moment, the personal guard pushed him away and escaped the disaster. However, the personal guard was cut in half by Xiao Yunxi's knife, and blood spurted out, with his intestines falling to the ground.

The villagers were all stunned. How could he be so fierce as to charge into the enemy camp alone and want to take the enemy general's head?

The attempt to capture the leader first failed, so he rolled sideways and chopped the thief with the pestle again.

Pfft!

Kill one more person.

"kill!"

The leading man shouted, and the soldiers marched in neat steps, pressing forward. Tang Laowu and Ma Cuilan were so scared that they peed their pants and crawled back.

The soldiers' target was not them;

Facing the neatly-organized formation, Xiao Yunxi rolled back a circle and a half to create some distance. The soldiers did not charge forward, but took a step forward in unison and pressed forward.

The pressure was too strong, no one dared to move, Murong Chen shouted:

"kill!"

"Kill one traitor and you'll be rewarded 50 taels!"

There will always be brave men under great rewards.

Tang Hao had served in the border army before, even though he was just a bystander. He had been on the battlefield after all. He raised his spear and lunged forward, stabbing the soldier who was attacking Xiao Yunxi so hard that he felt his heart soar.

The yamen runners followed closely behind.

The border troops are going to massacre the village. No matter what the reason is, if you don't resist you will die. You might as well give it a try.

Phew,

Hand-to-hand combat is the most brutal, with countless casualties in a single swing of the sword.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The yamen runners were furious, their shouts and cries shook the sky, and the villagers yelled:

"kill!"

We're all going to die anyway, and we all have one head on our shoulders, so who's afraid of whom?

The villagers waved their crude weapons wildly, holding back the soldiers on both sides who wanted to surround them. Xiao Yunxi's pressure was greatly reduced.

After a slight adjustment, he rolled over tactically and charged into the battle circle again, sweeping away the enemy with one move and welcoming the guests with the pines. Each move could take the life of a soldier.

Xiao Yunxi's swordsmanship is light and agile, just like a pair of swallows flying among willows in spring. Every move is precise and fatal. She created this by combining her boxing skills.

The soldiers suffered a disadvantage because, without the protection of armor, they still had to use the battle formations on the battlefield and advance simultaneously, not taking risks. Xiao Yunxi seized this opportunity.

When they attacked, Xiao Yunxi retreated. When they gathered their strength, Xiao Yunxi attacked. Without a spear, only a short knife, they had no way of hurting her.

The outcome of a war can never be determined by individual bravery.

Her sudden attack and Murong Chen's serious injury quickly boosted the morale of the yamen runners and villagers. With the surge of adrenaline, the fight was back and forth in a short period of time.

After the situation reached a stalemate, and with the large number of yamen runners in the front falling, the villagers were suppressed and retreated step by step.

The village chief brought old Uncle Tang, as well as Seventh Master, Second Uncle Tang, Third Uncle Tang, Tang Hao, and Daniu, who were at the forefront, fighting and retreating at the same time, looking miserable.

They were already at the end of their strength and could not hold on for much longer. The women in the rooms on both sides were anxious and didn't know what to do.

Aunt Li yelled:

"Fight them!"

Aunt Zhou watched the village chief fall down after being hacked, and she became furious:

"Fight them!"

They took whatever weapons they could, brooms, sticks, and joined the battle. The half-grown boys took stones and threw them. Even if they couldn't kill the enemy, they could at least disrupt it.

Both sides were already killing each other, the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Xiao Yunxi was also injured,

Murong Chen looked into the distance in despair. When would the reinforcements arrive?
