This attack is really coming to the doorstep. It is completely different from the ones they encountered before. There is no way they can escape this time.
Thinking that she might have to face thousands of troops from Jizhou head-on this time, Xu Yue felt that her previous training had no effect and her heart was tight.
Xu Yue, who grew up under the red flag and had only seen wars in other countries in the news, had imagined countless scenarios in which she would face war.
But when everything was about to happen, she realized that her mind was blank, even a little confused.
"What are we going to do now? Should we ask Lao Wutou and the others to stop first?" Xu Yue grabbed A Niang's arm and asked.
Xu Erniang and Xu Dalang looked at each other, a little envious that Xu Yue could grow up in a peaceful era.
One of the two has lived a long time and has witnessed countless battles, and the other has personally led an army of zombies to attack human bases. The war they are about to face now is already too numb for them to feel.
Mrs. Wang squeezed her youngest daughter's hand and analyzed rationally: "We are just a Uburg here. The enemy's goal is to destroy the city and they won't release too many troops to deal with us Uburgs."
"But we can't take it lightly. Every Uburg is equivalent to a supply warehouse. If they can't break into the city, they will target the surrounding Uburgs."
Wang summed up: "It's just to attack local tyrants and steal money and food."
If it were her, she would do the same.
Moreover, Sun Miao came so quickly and was traveling lightly, so it was impossible to carry too much supplies. If supplies from the rear were not supplied in time, he would definitely attack these wealthy landowners.
"Wubao is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are also steps. It is relatively safe. There is no need to panic too much."
Mrs. Wang patted her daughter's little head and said comfortingly: "Besides, aren't you and I still here? We are different now from before. We are no longer alone. We have this Uburg in front of us.
."
"We don't have to run away anymore!"
After listening to A Niang's words, Xu Yue's racing heart gradually calmed down.
Then he turned to look at his brother and sister, and when they met their calm gazes, his face flushed red, and he felt that he was too anxious just now, like an ant on a hot pot.
However, everything A Niang said was based on the premise that the Youzhou Army would win.
So what if Youzhou cannot defeat the Jizhou army brought by Sun Miao?
She had even boasted to her father before that the Youzhou Army was more powerful than the Jizhou Army, but the plague did not break out at that time!
At this time, the door was suddenly knocked, and two members of the tribe suddenly appeared, strode into the courtyard, and bowed to Wang first.
One person said: "Madam, the head of the family invites you to come to the mansion to discuss matters!"
Another person added: "If the matter is urgent, please ask my wife to come with me immediately!"
Mrs. Wang nodded, handed Xu Yue into Xu Erniang's hands, told the two of them to slowly sort out the affairs at home, and led Xu Dalang out.
Before leaving, she took the divine arm bow and carried a heavy rectangular wooden box on her back.
The two tribe members who came brought horses, and the four of them rode quickly towards the inner castle.
"It's okay. The worst case scenario is that we can run away again. We can't do anything else. Isn't running away our family's specialty?" Xu Erniang hugged Xu Yue from behind and teased, rubbing her shoulder.
Xu Yue had already recovered from her panic and confusion. When she heard her sister's words, she replied seriously:
"I'm not running!"
If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. Her parents are here, so she won’t be afraid!
Xu Erniang shrugged, her playful eyes seemed to say, who was running faster than a rabbit just now?
He Zeng and others arrived at the gate of the courtyard at some unknown time. They didn't know why the alarm bell rang. When they saw someone from the master's family coming, they couldn't help but gather around to know the truth.
Xu Yue took away her sister's hand on her small waist, walked outside the door and said to a few people:
"The Jizhou Army raided Yuyang County overnight and will soon reach Yuyang County."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
But what else can they do?
I can only pray that this Uburg is strong enough.
Xu Yue couldn't comfort them by saying "it's okay", she just told them the situation and reminded everyone to be mentally prepared.
"That's it for today's tofu. When you're done, go home and prepare enough food, water, and self-defense weapons."
"My grandma was hurriedly called away, probably to discuss the response with the master's family. With her and the troops in Wubaoli here, ordinary people can't help us."
He Zeng, Lao Wutou, and Yang Wazi looked at each other, thinking about Wang's previous thunderous methods in the plague incident, and felt a little relieved.
There was still some soy milk that had not been boiled in the tofu shop, so a few people continued to insist on making so much tofu before going to their respective homes.
However, He Ceng did not leave. He sat on the threshold of Xu's house and said with some pride:
"Madam will definitely look for me soon. She always looks for me. She trusts me."
Xu Yue just followed him.
There were nine slaves left, and Xu Yue asked them to move all the prepared tofu into the courtyard.
The gate of Wubao is closed, so these tofu cannot be sold, so they can only eat it themselves.
I just don’t know when the tenant farmers who went out to sell tofu will come back, but they must not encounter the Jizhou Army.
Not long after, the news of the attack by the Jizhou Army spread throughout the village, and people were panicked.
But not long after, Wang personally brought a team of troops over to screen the Self-Defense Forces militia and conduct general mobilization.
What she said had a convincing power, and as she issued instructions one by one, she quickly calmed down the confused and frightened people.
As expected, He Zeng was called away. When he left, he smiled proudly at Xu Yue, with admiration for Wang in his eyes.
Xu Yue helplessly held her forehead, and there was another girl who was obsessed with her.
Not long after He Zeng left, Wang Dayou sent the two Junmei sisters over, and then took his steel knife and joined the Self-Defense Force.
Wang said that the news of the attack from Jizhou Army has been verified.
Since the crisis is real, everyone in Ubao must take it seriously and protect their property and personal safety!
Yes, she specially emphasized the word "self", which gave the tenants the illusion that they were no longer the owner's property, but a complete individual.
The power of this word is very powerful. If people are not punished by heaven and earth for themselves, they have been severely plundered. How can they give it away in vain if they have managed to save a little wealth?
From then on, Xu Yue knew that as long as her mother-in-law showed up with the song, everything on the banker would be in order.
And as long as she stands in front of people, she can make people want to follow her.
In the four hours since Gongsun An sent back the news, the banker's self-defense system has been established.
Wang Dayou and He Zeng had already led their respective Self-Defense Force teams and walked past Xu's house twice.
Every time they passed a house, people were asked to take out the feces and extra ropes from the house, collect them and hand them over to the city defense team.
