Chapter 159: Encirclement and Suppression
Wang Lieci led several soldiers who had climbed the hill with him and walked down the hill. Before they had taken a few steps, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", countless arrows suddenly shot at them from all directions at the same time. They had never expected such a situation to happen and were caught off guard. Countless arrows pierced Wang Lieci's body at the same time. He was covered in blood and fell to the ground without saying a word. He died. Before he died, two emotions flashed through his mind: I was good at archery all my life, but in the end I was shot to death by arrows; that rogue villager just cursed us to die on the land of Jingyin Country, and I am really going to die like this!
Wang Lieci's body was pierced by arrows and looked extremely ugly. The invaders from Hongluo who had climbed the hill with Wang Lieci were also shot to death by arrows and lay in a mess on the hill. A few crows flew towards their bodies, croaking happily...
The soldiers and the tied villagers at the foot of the mountain suddenly heard rumbling footsteps and shouts.
"Surround!"
"Come on!"
The footsteps and shouts were getting closer and closer, and all of a sudden, a deafening sound rose from the sky and the earth.
"It's the enemy!" said a soldier from Hongluo Kingdom who saw the flag of Jingyin Army.
The soldiers of Hongluo were so frightened that they didn't know what to do for a moment, so they left the circle of villagers and prepared to deal with the newcomers.
"It's the Jingyin Army! They are the soldiers from our Jingyin Country!" a villager shouted.
When the villagers saw Jingyin’s army rushing towards them, their blood immediately boiled.
"It's really the Jingyin Army! We can find our Jingyin Army even in such a remote place!" a villager said excitedly.
"Ah! It really is! It really is the Jingyin Army! But, aren't they fighting on the battlefield? Why are they here?" Some people were puzzled.
A soldier from Hongluo said: "There are so many of them, let's surrender..."
"Why surrender? Didn't we kill the Jingyin army captives who surrendered to us? We will suffer the same fate if we surrender! Stop talking nonsense! Charge forward! Kill them! Fight them out!" As Wang Lieci was not there, another person with the highest rank among the soldiers acted as a temporary leader. "Yes..." the soldiers of Hongluo answered, most of them lacked confidence.
"Show the power you showed just now! Charge!" The temporary leader made a gesture and gave the order.
"Kill!" The soldiers of Hongluo country waved their weapons and rushed towards the soldiers of Jingyin country who were surrounding them from all directions like crazy.
The soldiers of Hongluo Kingdom moved away from the villagers. Some villagers who had been patient for too long suddenly burst into tears, including Ding Datian and Ding Dadi.
"The Jingyin Army will win!" a villager shouted.
Some other villagers also started shouting.
"The Jingyin Army will win!"
"Jingyin will win, Jingyin will win, Jingyin will win..."
The Ding brothers cried and shouted at the same time.
The villagers' cries and shouts, the sounds of weapons, the morale-boosting calls of the Jingyin Army, and the miserable screams of the Hongluo Army came one after another.
The morale of the Jingyin army was high, and their numbers were much greater than those brought by Wang Lieci. Before long, all the soldiers under Wang Lieci were lying on the ground motionless, and the Jingyin army suffered almost no casualties.
When the soldiers of Jingyin Kingdom saw that the villagers were tied up, they quickly went over and untied the ropes for them.
