This gunslinger is too reckless

Chapter 17 Preparing for and facing the battle

Although these peasants were beginning to eat enough, they had been weak for a long time and still could not hold their spears.Moreover, there is no discipline, it is difficult to line up, and even the left and right are unclear.

In other words, within a short period of time, they were not even qualified to serve as cannon fodder spearmen with sharpened bamboo poles.

But waste also has the use value of waste. Zhao Dong intends to use a weapon called "Floating Rod Sling" for them. He made one by hand in his previous life and played with it for a while.

It is very simple to make, weave a sling with straw rope, and then tie the sling to a piece of bamboo or a branch.The raw materials needed are nothing but grass, stones, and branches. No matter how poor the village is, there is no shortage of these three things.

This kind of thing, even a child can make it and play with it.And the power is impressive, as long as you shake the wooden pole and throw it forward, the stones that fly out can break a person's bones. Zhao Dong even used this to break bricks in his previous life.

However, since the Rhodok army used crossbows instead of floating poles and slings, it shows that this weapon has great limitations.

First, its accuracy is very low, and it can only aim in a general direction. Whether it can be thrown depends on luck.

Second, the shield is very restrained it.A powerful bolt can penetrate a leather shield, but a stone cannot.

But the number of farmers more than makes up for the first disadvantage.The bandits are not a regular army either, and it is impossible to line up a shield wall and advance in unison. The second shortcoming is not fatal.

The most important thing is that there is no need to form an array, and there is no need to require farmers to have the courage to fight in close combat.

It is said that during the colonial period, a European military officer trained the aborigines and taught them to distinguish left and right, which took almost two years.

Not to mention the need to train to line up... And in terms of courage, these farmers may not be better than the aboriginals who have been killing tribes all day long.

Zhao Dong didn't need to spend a long time training an elite army. He only needed to train one by one trash with zero combat effectiveness into weak chickens with one combat effectiveness in a short period of time, completing his mission of restoring the taxation and security of a village within a month. promise.

Countless zeros are meaningless, but adding up countless ones is a terrible number.

After two weeks of training, Bandit's blackmail finally came.

They are used to extortion, and they don't need to go all out. As long as they send a few people, the village will succumb to their feet.

Fifteen of Zhao Dong's subordinates can control this village.Although these bandits were less well equipped than the regular army, there were forty or so habitual bandits, all armed with sharp knives, which were enough to blackmail two or three villages at the same time.

"Master Zhao Dong, hurry up and disperse these bandits!" The village chief Aruqi hurriedly ran into Zhao Dong's room.

"Don't do anything to them, but don't give them anything either. Beg them, say that this village has no food." Zhao Dong yawned, "Use your brain, what's the use of killing these trash fish? Bring out their large forces."

Zhao Dong and his troops couldn't hide, and even the trained farmers didn't move out. The gangster extortion team yelled and cursed for a while, wanting to do something, but seeing the spear in the hands of the powerful children, they still left cursing the village.

"Pigs! Dig your own grave! When our brothers come down, your skulls will be sawed off and made into wine bowls!" Hearing the yelling and footsteps outside the door, Zhao Dong showed his face. smile.

My purpose is only two, one is to make the bandits dispatch a large force, and the other is to make the bandits unprepared.

Refusing to blackmail, and only revealing the mighty strength, can achieve these two goals at the same time.

And it can have additional effects... Zhao Dong looked at Aluqi's back, he had never believed in these tyrants until this moment.

They have turned against these bandits, and they can only go to the dark with themselves.Although he didn't ask them to help him fight, when the bandits came, Zhao Dong believed that they would drive all the family members who could hold spears to the front of the battle.

One prospers all, one loses all.Zhao Dong seems to be honest and generously divides the benefits, but Zhao Dong's gift has already secretly marked the price.

When those thieves were gone, Zhao Dong's long-lost mission prompts appeared in Zhao Dong's mind, as well as Emily's words that hadn't appeared for a long time...

 Side task: Defeat the bandits who invaded Yimer Village
Task Difficulty: G-Class

Mission objective: Defeat bandits

Task rewards: Rewards are issued according to the evaluation, ranging from G-level rewards to G-level rewards.

Know why I don't talk to you anymore? — Emily
"Because I am no longer the Zhao Dong who cried for the hungry people." Zhao Dong said lightly.

"In this troubled world, I can only be a cunning and ferocious beast, fight with other beasts, compete for flesh and blood, and grow stronger. Mercy will only make me weaker and my throat will be bitten off by other beasts..." A storm seemed to be brewing in Zhao Dong's heart.

"But was I born in this kind of Colosseum? 20 years of life experience in a society ruled by law, won't it make my heart hurt when I dream at night?! You don't understand anything, you just stay here! Lao Tzu Do things outside, do things, keep doing things! No need, no need for you to talk to me! Get it?!"

The eloquent and sharp-tongued Zhao Dong became confused. He lowered his head and his eyes became scarlet.

Although Zhao Dong knew that even if he lowered his head, Emily could still see his tears and his weakness.

"I'm sorry... I'm too childish." After a while of silence, Emily relented.

Zhao Dong lay limp on the bed, feeling that all the strength in his body had dissipated.I won, but so what?

"I swear, I will do my best to improve this terrible world, Emily, you are the only person in this world who allows me to maintain my humanity..." Zhao Dong silently wiped away his tears.

"I will always be by your side, always..." Emily wanted to caress Zhao Dong's black hair, no matter how he changed.

In fact, he is still the fierce Zhao Dong on the surface, but he still wants to comfort himself in his heart!

"Okay... I'm going to do something." Although Zhao Dong really wanted to enjoy this moment of tenderness, the responsibility in his heart kept reminding him.

To distribute rewards to the regular army under him, to mobilize those trained farmers, this battle must be won!

……

The next day, noon.

"Pigs, I'll give you another chance!" Several bandits rode on pack horses, waving their iron sticks, and said viciously—in Rhodok, where war horses are scarce, they can get the caravan's pack horses. It's not easy.

They rushed forward on horseback, showing off their power in front of the fence, and the weakness of the villagers made them unscrupulous.

But this is in Zhao Dong's arms.

"Shoot!" Zhao Dong roared!Originally, these light cavalry who came and went like the wind, I didn't want to waste long-range firepower on them, but they came forward to be beaten, so I can't blame myself.

The farmers frantically waved their slings, some of them were trembling, and the stones fell out accidentally; many people projected with their eyes closed because of fear, the stones flew around, and even hurt their companions...

The volley of hundreds of people, at such a short distance, only knocked down two cavalrymen to the ground, leaving the other three unscathed.

Zhao Dong covered his forehead, but he still wanted to encourage him: "See, they are also human beings, and they will die if they are hit. Don't be afraid of them. Just aim and shoot!"

The remaining three cavalrymen looked at the fence and the spear formation of the powerful boys in the formation, they didn't dare to charge forward, and turned around in a hurry.

They tried their best to drive the pack horses under their crotches, trying to open up the distance quickly. After all, throwing stones was also a great threat to these light cavalry.

Under Zhao Dong's command, these peasants shot again, and this time their performance was slightly better. Many people finally dared to open their eyes. Hundreds of stones were thrown out, and another one who was running slowly and was farther away from the fence was killed. Near cavalry.

After all, seeing blood is different.After all, human beings are born out of wild beasts, and under the stimulation of blood, the killing instinct will be awakened accordingly.

But Zhao Dong knew that the real test had just begun when the bandits' pawns pressed up.
