More than two thousand bandits rushed over with shouts, and in front were dozens of the most fierce bandits. Those bandits seemed to be trainees, holding sword cards or spears, rushing over with blood-red eyes. Behind them were more than a dozen trained archers, holding step bows, and taking a few steps to stop and shoot a feather arrow.

A few bandits are indeed masters of martial arts. Cheng Jikong himself has excellent martial arts skills. In real history, when he was lured and killed by Gao Jie, he had no weapons on his body. With a stool, he blocked the siege of dozens of Gao Jie's servants. Finally, he could jump onto the roof and hooked down by his hook hands before being chopped into meat paste.

The group of bandits trained by Confucius were all masters with high martial arts skills. They were former servants and tenants of Cheng Jikong, and they rebelled and went to Wutong Mountain Village to become bandits. These bandits rushed to the front, followed by some refugees who were swept up the mountain by them.

The guard brought by Wang Quan was not the old guard he recruited in the north. The old guard had been handed over to Zhao Feng to take it away. This guard was a new guard composed of young and vagrants recruited along the way during the journey south. He had insufficient weapons and armor. The most elite were the six old men he brought and the fifty Li Guodong's 50 people at night.

Five hundred novice guards, in front of them were a row of 100 square shield hands, all composed of strong young and strong bodies. Each square shield hands held a shield in the left hand and a short javelin bag hanging around his waist. When the feather arrows shot, the guards stood up a shield to block the shooting arrows.

The arrows shot by the bandits crossed the head of the sword card and fell into the crowd of mandarin duck formations behind them.

Behind the sword player are thirty teams of mandarin duck formations, and there are also players in the mandarin duck formation. Each team of mandarin duck formations has two sword players, holding round shields and machetes.

The arrow shot from the thief was blocked by the square shield in front. The knife player in the mandarin duck formation only needed to raise the round shield to block the arrow falling from a high place.

Li Guodong, Wang Quan, Han Dashan, He Xing and others, fifty Ye Bushang and six old friends from Dadewang also fought. More than 60 people opened their bows and arrows, and in a blink of an eye, a row of arrows was shot, which accurately pierced into the thief. Only a scream was heard. A round of arrows went out, and at least more than thirty thiefs fell down with arrows.

Wang Quan's archery skills were even above Li Guodong. He had just shot an arrow, and in a blink of an eye another arrow was placed on the bow. His fingers were relaxed, and a feather arrow flew out and pierced into the chest of a fierce thief. Then Wang Quan shot another arrow, and the arrow shot from under the thief's shield and pierced on the leg of the thief's sword player.

"Ah!" The thief knife player dropped the knife, sat on the ground, hugged his thighs and screamed in pain.

Although he did not shoot the thief sword player to death, being able to shoot one is already a good result. The elite bandits have good protection. The arrows Li Guodong and others shot out just now were almost all the people who were being bullied, and the real bandits were almost not injured.

Sixty elite archers, plus thirty archers in the thirty mandarin duck formation, shot arrows again and again, making the thief cry and cry.

The distance was very close. After paying the price of more than 100 casualties, the bandits rushed to the guards.

The square shield formation, which was responsible for protecting the Mandarin Duck Formation from long-range weapons, first threw a row of javelins and shot over the row of bandits rushing in front. Then the square shield team quickly retreated, and while retreating, they continued to throw javelins.

The square shield team dispersed to both sides, and a row of round shields appeared in front of the bandits. Everyone hid behind the round shields, and hedgehog-like weapons stretched out from both sides of the round shields. The arrows shot by the bandits were blocked by the round shields.

In fact, the thickness of the large wooden square shield is not as thick as that of the round shield. It is mainly used to withstand arrows and cannot block spear thorns. The reason why Wang Quan created a square shield array in front of the Yuanyang Formation is because the newly built guard team lacks armor and can only use square shields to enhance the defense against long-range weapons.

Cheng Jikong was not worried about his team losing more than 100 people to rush to the officers and soldiers. Most of the farmers who were shot dead by arrows on the way were poorly equipped and had almost no combat effectiveness. Except for one of his true elite old thiefs who were shot by Wang Quan, the rest were intact.

He is about to enter a hand-to-hand combat, and Cheng Jikong is full of confidence in his elite old thieves. On weekdays, those old thieves with high martial arts skills are not a problem to cut more than ten officers and soldiers by themselves. The opponent seems to be only more than 500, and he has more than 60 old thieves in his hands. Cheng Jikong believes that more than 60 old thieves with high martial arts skills are able to cut the officers and soldiers into tears like chopping vegetables.

Unexpectedly, the bandits in the dress in front rushed to the front, but found that every two round shields suddenly saw figures holding long weapons coming out from both sides, and the column turned into dense horizontal lines.

"Tiger!" Thirty mandarin duck formations roared in unison.

A row of old thieves rushed to the front, and the wolf thieves behind the round shield stretched out. The thief's swords and guns were slashed over, and they were stuck by the wolf thieves. There were rows of long spears behind them, pushing the old thieves with high martial arts back step by step.

At this time, the martial arts masters discovered that if they fought hard, they would have no power to fight back. A few old thieves who were unwilling to fight hard, and they were stabbed to death by a group of new recruits.

Cheng Jikong was very powerful in martial arts, but when he encountered this formation, he realized that his personal martial arts had no use at all. He looked at it with a knife, and there was a shield on the opposite side to cover it. The wolf silence and spear behind the shield kept stabbing him, forcing him to give up the duel with the sword player and had to retreat.

"Boom boom boom" A row of muskets roared in the mandarin duck formation. Thirty bird gunmen seized the opportunity to pull the trigger and knocked the thieves blocked by the round shield and wolf litters to death in a pool of blood.

"Firearm!" Cheng Jikong felt his heart suddenly shrink. Firearm is the nemesis of martial arts masters. No matter how high a master is in his personal skills, he cannot avoid the attack of firearms.

Thirty bird gunners finished shooting gunpowder and immediately returned and loaded the bullets.

The archer shot another row of arrows, causing a large number of unarmored thieves to fall down.

Wang Quan saw Wang Daoshan at first sight, and a feather arrow shot out with the whistling sound of wind. The distance was only more than ten steps, and the arrow was extremely fast. Wang Daoshan had no time to dodge, and the arrowhead pierced through his unprotected neck. Wang Daoshan let out a scream and covered the extra arrow shaft on his neck. He only felt that his strength was being lost, and the arrow that shot through his carotid artery and trachea was quickly taking away his consciousness.

Then two long spears stabbed at the same time, one pierced into Cheng Wangdaoshan’s abdomen and the other pierced into the throat.
