Chapter 373 For the Silver Reward
Yes, the clothes on the side with less clothing can still cover the body.
The side with more people was all barefoot, and their clothes were torn into strips. The Prince of England could actually understand their intentions...
It's time to look for possible mezzanines.
"How many can you count?" the prince asked lightly.
"572!"
"What's the total?"
"804!"
The Prince of England was silent.
How can he believe that all this is true?
If these more than 800 Beirong were killed by Xiao'an Village and the Gufeng City Guards, he has several questions that need to be clarified.
1. Why did Xiao'an Village kill twice as many Beirong soldiers as Gufeng's city guard?
Second, he just stood up and looked out, Xiao'an Village had a panoramic view, there were not even 200 households in total, excluding the old, weak, women and children, two young men per household was enough, so how could he kill more than 500 people?
Third, how many swords and bows are hidden in Xiaoan Village?
"Hold the book and go check it out. The number of people is correct." The Prince of England confessed.
Holding the book, he called two guards for help, then followed the order and left.
"Do you know how many enemies were killed in this battle at Huju City?" The Crown Prince of England sounded a little solemn as he asked and answered: "Only more than a thousand people!"
Yan Yu took a breath.
Why so few?
Then here in their village...
"The corpse in front of me cannot be faked. The dead one is indeed the invading Beirong. So, waiter, who can tell me how Xiaoan Village can do this?"
He looked at the child very seriously and said word by word: "You are not regular troops, you are just people fleeing the famine who have just settled in Huju. You have clean household registration and have been farming for generations. So, you have killed more than 500 enemies. How many of you will fight?"
?What method was used? Relying on the five tall towers in the village?"
"At a glance, my prince saw that many of the Beirong soldiers killed in Xiao'an Village were killed by arrows. How big are the swords and bows in Xiao'an Village? Where do they come from?"
Yan Yu knows that these must be explained.
If she wants to get the silver reward, her previous rhetoric about spring and autumn writing will not work.
Last time, six Beirong soldiers were killed. The government officials in Fucheng were like this. They interrogated them very clearly and everything was detailed.
Guanzhou attaches great importance to military merit and rewards the courage to kill the enemy, but it is not easy to fool, and everything is serious.
Yan Yu's big eyes flickered. She seemed to be calmed down by the prince's serious words, but in fact she was reviewing everything that happened last night.
There is nothing that cannot be said.
There are joints that cannot be said.
The Prince of England had no intention of asking anything from this child.
Although he is a scholar, he has studied early and is wise, but after all, he is just a child, how much can he know...
"Brother Shizi, my hometown is in Qizhou Prefecture. There is a drought this year. It hasn't rained at all, and the creeks next to the village have dried up.
My eldest sister has to walk a long way every day to find some yellowing wild vegetables.
The village chief's grandpa and his family guard the only old well in the village that still has water. Every household has to collect water every day, and no one has too much.
Not every household has enough water, and the uncles and aunts in the village have to save a few mouthfuls of water from their mouths and pour it into the fields, eagerly hoping that the fields will be more productive.
Later, the water in the well became less and less.
We couldn't stand it any longer, so we headed all the way to Guanzhou.
The uncle said that the weather here is very cold and freezing, and there are also Beirong soldiers who often enter the pass to plunder, which is very dangerous.
But we came anyway. We put on more clothes when it was cold and burned firewood and charcoal to keep warm. At that time, we didn’t know that so many people would come from Beirong and ride into the village on horseback to rob us. We never imagined...
We saw a lot of people on the way out.
There are evil people who seize old people, women, and children, occupy other people's food, and throw men out.
Some were guarding the narrow exit so that they could buy food for the road.
There were also bandits in Leshan Prefecture. The mountain road was difficult to walk. We walked very slowly and encountered several groups...
Brother Shizi, we were originally supposed to enter Guanzhou from Gufeng, but because there were bandits on the official road, we made a long detour and entered Huju from Xizhou.
When we were on the road, there were more of us, but now these are the only ones left...
When we settled in, we specially chose a place with mountains and rivers. There was a lot of food in the mountains, and we no longer had to worry about running out of water when we were close to the river.
People in our village are particularly fond of this place. They work day and night, clearing wasteland, growing vegetables, and building houses. There is no day off.
Brother Prince, the village chief grandpa said we should take root here.
So when the Beirong came, they stole food and killed people, we couldn't let them.
We must live too!"
Yan Yu's expression was serious and solemn: "Brother, in our village, even the children dare to kill the enemy. Do you believe it or not?"
The Prince of England suddenly understood why the people he saw on the tower before were all children.
Experienced escape...
He had indeed heard about the cruelty on the road to escape.
"At the very beginning, six Beirong came over the mountain. We were scared, so we decided to build an arrow tower."
Yan Yu made a gesture of invitation: "Brother, Prince, come with me."
The Prince of England followed her.
"This is our training ground." Yan Yu started running without saying a word.
Run, jump, climb up and down.
It moves like a stray rabbit and crawls like a snake.
I went back and forth without even taking a breath.
"The children in the village are all training here." She paused deliberately, pretending to be forbearing, and said: "When we are fleeing, the adults are always careful and careful with us. If we don't run fast, we will be overtaken, and if we don't dodge, we will be caught.
hurt……
So we thought, we must run faster and be more nimble with our hands and feet, so that if we encounter bad guys, they will not be able to catch up."
"These bows and grass targets are used for us to practice our accuracy. Archery is particularly useful. It can be used for hunting in the mountains and forests. We can often hunt meat." Yan Yu smiled shyly: "My uncle is very accurate in archery. He said this is
One of the six arts of a gentleman, let me practice it diligently."
She picked up a bow, strung it, drew the bow, and shot!
Hit the bullseye accurately.
The Prince of England was really impressed.
It is rare for such a crudely made bow and an arrow made of wood to hit the target within a few inches, both in terms of accuracy and power.
And this is not a small bow, it is a bow used by adults.
If it is true as the Yan family's boy said, all the children in this village can be like this...
It is not impossible to annihilate the incoming enemy.
"Last night, there were only forty-eight Beirong soldiers who entered the village for the first time." Yan Yu decided to tell him in detail and demonstrate how they captured these hundreds of Beirong soldiers based on the actual situation.
"Before they came, Master Lu, who was helping the village build a house, happened to be home. He came with his family late at night and woke us up in the whole village. He said that Beirong had entered their village. There were many people and they couldn't stop them. Let us hurry up.
run."
"But where can we run at night? They have horses, but we can't run away, so we just want to hide in the tower...
The uncles removed several door panels and lifted them up to block the entrance below..."
The Prince of England listened to the child's explanation of how he used the six bows and six swords he had captured previously, and relied on the advantage of the tower to use the door panels as shields to fight against more than forty Beirong soldiers.
Children are shooting arrows at the top, while young men and women are fending off enemies below.
This first batch of Beirong emboldened Xiaoan Village.
They confiscated their swords and bows, removed the door panels of the entire village, separated the villagers, and each occupied the tower...
"Where are those many arrows?" the Prince of England asked.
Yan Yu: "They are all freshly cut. The people hiding in the tower use kitchen knives and sickles to cut one piece and send another piece up."
"Where is the arrow?"
"They are all washed and dried in the barn." Yan Yu replied.
Then he took the prince to see the wooden and bamboo arrows drying in the barn.
Purely handmade.
The prince was not curious as to why there were bamboo arrows. This Xiao'an village came from the south, and the prince's concubine was from the south. He knew that bamboo utensils were popular in the south.
Yan Yu took the prince to Luo's house to see Uncle Luo.
"Uncle Luo and his men were guarding the raft bridge in the river, and they were all frozen."
Then he took the prince into the courtyard gate of the Qi family.
"When the third batch of Beirong came, there were not many good door panels in the village." Yan Yu said with a heavy face: "This is my fourth uncle Qi. Because the door panel was broken, he had to guard the entrance of the tower, so he could only carry it with his body.
Hold on until you die and don’t retreat.”
Qi Si was inspected by the guards. His face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"Your Majesty, all are stab wounds on the front." The guard said respectfully.
Several guards looked at Qi Si with admiration in their eyes!
What a man!
boom!
Guluuluulu...
There were sounds from inside the courtyard.
People came out to check.
Then I saw Qi Da and Qi Wu coming back from outside.
Qi Si was lying there and felt that this man was quite tall and strong. But when he saw Qi Da and Qi Wu standing in the courtyard, he knew that he was not ordinary tall and strong.
Every house in the village has no door panels.
Qi Da and Qi Wu moved logs home from the forest. In order to save trouble, the two of them tied up several logs at one time, went into the yard and threw them on the ground.
That was the source of the sound they just heard.
The two of them were sweating all over. When they entered their yard, they simply took off their clothes and went shirtless.
This body of dazzling tendons!
There is also a place with an exaggerated amount of wood...
The Prince of England:......
Guards:...
Yan Yu: Well done to Uncle Qi and Uncle Qi!
Come on, show it off!
Let these people who have never seen the world open their eyes!
A guard stepped forward and lifted a piece of wood under the surprised eyes of Qi Da and Qi Wu.
Solid wood, easy to use.
He didn't dare to put it on his body, not because he couldn't carry it, but because the comparison was too much...
Ahem, if you can't do it right, you'll have to show your eyes.
"Xiao Er, this..."
Before Qi Da could finish his question, he was interrupted by Yan Yu.
"Uncle Qi, it's okay. You are busy with your business. I will bring the prince to visit my fourth uncle Qi."
Qi shouted loudly.
Qi Wu also looked away.
The two brothers started working again.
Measure the length and swing the ax next to you...
One piece at a time, one piece at a time.
Seeing all the guards swallowing their saliva, their hearts were beating wildly along with the axe.
Wooooo(╥﹏╥)o
