"It's terrible, sir! Ant thieves have surrounded our manor!" Butler Zhao Yi said in a panic.
However, Zhao Yi disagreed and said: "What are you afraid of? Send someone on horseback to inform the Yecheng Order and ask him to bring troops to kill all these ant thieves. We can just guard the city wall."
"Sir, there are tens of thousands of ant thieves. Now they have surrounded our manor and no one can get out!"
"Quick, call all the slaves and ask them to go up to the city wall to defend!"
This number finally scared Zhao Yi. When he ran to the city wall to take a look, he found that the people around him were really densely packed, and there were as many torches as stars in the sky!
"Who is Commander Qu here? As long as he is willing to withdraw his troops, I am willing to contribute 2,000 shi of grain and 100,000 yuan to Commander Qu!"
Xu Hao said: "It's me! You didn't think of it! We have no grievances at all. It doesn't matter if you want to take away my car, but you also killed several of my tribesmen. Today I am always seeking revenge! I will
I want you lawless and corrupt officials to know that ordinary people are not so easy to mess with."
Xu Wei waved his hand and said, "Attack the city!"
Tens of thousands of refugees rushed towards the manor!
Zhao Yi also shouted loudly: "Fire arrows and don't let these ant thieves get close to the city wall!"
"Boohoo!" Hundreds of long arrows were shot at the crowd, but no one was hurt.
Because the refugees were all a hundred steps away, they even ran away when they saw the long arrow.
Xu Wei had no intention of letting these refugees attack the manor, but wanted them to contain the servants in the manor. His order to the refugees was to let them bluff, and he had another killer move.
When the servants on the city wall kept shooting arrows to prevent the refugees from approaching the city wall, a simple siege vehicle appeared, with 5 pairs of carriage wheels installed underneath, and the top was all covered with a foot of thick yellow mud. Xu Wei took a few
The ten people quickly advanced up to the city wall.
"Boohoo!" Dozens of long arrows shot at the siege vehicle, but they were all blocked by the logs above.
The "Boom" siege vehicle collided with the city wall without any hindrance. Then Xu Wei directed his people to take out the crowbar, insert it into the city wall, and pry the bricks on the wall, and easily pried off the bricks.
The city walls of this era were all built with bricks. Except for the two layers of wall bricks, the inside was filled with loess. After the outer city wall bricks were pried open, Xu Wei and the others kept taking out the loess from the city wall. Soon
Xu Wei and the others dug a deep hole in the city wall, and then kept digging in. Soon they were half a man deep. Then Xu Wei stuffed hundreds of kilograms of black powder that he had prepared into it, and again
Block it with bricks.
"Everyone, run back and leave this place to me!"
Wang Lei and the others immediately blocked their heads with rattan shields and ran back!
Xu Wei took out his lighter and lit the fuse of the black powder, and escaped with the shield on his head!
Zhao Yi on the city wall didn't know what was going on. When he saw Xu Wei and the others escaping, he thought they couldn't withstand the casualties caused by bows and arrows. More importantly, he discovered that these ant thieves didn't even bring ladders with them, and had only been carrying them.
Wandering a hundred steps away from the city wall, this is not a joke. Without a ladder, how could these ant thieves want to fly in!
After Zhao Yi knew that he was safe, he laughed loudly and said: "These ant thieves are not only cowardly, they also have no brains!"
Then he shouted in the direction of Xu Wei: "The little thief, remember to bring some ladders when he attacks the city next time."
Then he laughed heartily!
The huge "boom" explosion directly opened a huge hole in the manor's wall, which was more than a foot long. Zhao Yi was even more unlucky that the explosion happened right below him. His whole body was blown up and he could not die anymore.
dead.
The violent explosion also shocked the defenders. They panicked and fled one by one.
The city wall was broken, and they knew the manor could no longer be defended.
Xu Wei pulled out his long sword and said to the manor: "The manor has been breached. Let's all fight in. Revenge for revenge, repay injustice for injustice!"
"Kill!" Although the refugees were also shocked by Xu Wei's methods, they found out that the manor had been breached. Thinking that there was enough food for them to survive, they became excited and rushed towards the manor one by one.
Xu Wei and the others rushed to the front, but everyone was frightened by the bombs and did not dare to resist Xu Wei and the others. Therefore, Xu Wei and the others did not encounter any obstacles. They rushed into the manor with others along the way and found the manor.
The granary is located. There are round granaries inside.
Wang Lei looked at the grain and said excitedly: "This granary contains about 3,000 shi!"
Xu Wei was surprised when he saw that there were more than a dozen granaries here: "There are thirty to forty thousand shi of grain here! Enough for everyone to eat for several months!"
Xu Wei solemnly said to Wang Lei: "You immediately lead people to protect the food here, this is the guarantee for everyone's survival!
Wang Lei nodded and immediately summoned his men to guard the place. Many refugees also rushed here, trying to grab food, but they were immediately stopped by Xu Wei.
The refugee said unconvinced: "Didn't you say that if we attack this manor, the food and property inside will be shared with us? Now I can't even take this! Do you want to take it all for yourself?"
Xu Wei said seriously: "If you want to divide it, you have to divide it together in front of everyone. What's the point of robbing you like this? Moreover, there is food here. If it catches fire, can you afford it?"
Wang Lei said angrily: "If we hadn't breached the city wall and you could have entered, ask yourself, what credit do you have for yourself, and you dare to come here to steal food!"
Then he shouted to more and more refugees: "If you want food, you must listen to us!"
The refugees around him did not move when they heard this. Because what Wang Lei said made sense, they strengthened their momentum and did not exert much force at all. The city wall was destroyed by Xu Wei and others with their magic.
They still have lingering fears. They look at Xu Wei now as they looked at the great virtuous teacher back then. However, seeing that there is so much food here that cannot be taken here, their momentum still drops a bit.
Xu Wei said: "Everyone has contributed to the attack on the manor. Now everyone has gathered the property found here. We will distribute it in front of everyone to ensure fairness and justice so that everyone can see it!"
After Xu Wei said this, others felt relieved and started looking for interesting things in the manor and brought them to the granary!
After everyone got busy, Old Man Wang found Xu Wei and took him to the backyard. Then Xu Wei saw Old Man Niu and the others happily carrying boxes and five baht coins!
Old man Wang said excitedly: "Captain, I just did the math. The gold here exceeds thousands of kilograms, 3,000 pieces of cloth, 1,000 pieces of silk, and various gems and pearls. Five baht coins may weigh tens of thousands of kilograms, and there are hundreds of sets."
Our carriage is short of weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and there is not enough to carry these things!"
The old man Niu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I found 10 more carriages, 100 cattle and horses here. These animals are enough for us to move all these belongings back to the mountains!"
