Ye Mengqiu boarded the anti-intruder archery tower and saw faint figures in the forest outside the house. He couldn't help but shout: "Control the clan members and enter Wubao!"
Wubao is a kind of civilian defense building. It has high walls and deep trenches outside, and towers and tall buildings at the four corners and in the middle. It has strong defensive power.
Hearing some screams outside, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Clan members go up the wall and close the door!"
Hundreds of servants held up shields and held bows and arrows and weapons on the wall. Women and children huddled inside, looking at the thick smoke outside in fear. Seeing this, a stalemate formed for a moment. Ye Zifan breathed a sigh of relief. This world is not the same.
It is not safe. Every family has been engaged in defense since it was founded. It is the last fortress in times of crisis.
"Fortunately, everyone gathered here for the Qing'er exam today to offer sacrifices. If we didn't enjoy peace for a long time, we wouldn't be able to gather enough manpower to survive a surprise attack..."
But even so, he still heard screams in the distance. They were all servants who were working outside and had no time to retreat. Zifan thought of something and suddenly became confused again: "Now that the families in the big and small farms outside are giving birth to children, I am afraid that all
It’s going to be bad.”
"Especially due to the impact of the last typhoon, Mr. Lu was still supervising repairing the damage in Xinzhuang, and Qianqian was also there. If anything goes wrong between these two, Qing'er won't be able to explain it when he comes back!"
Ye Zifan was anxious in his heart and suddenly broke into a thick cold sweat. It was not until he saw the old and determined figure on the tower that he regained his consciousness.
Knowing that it is unnecessary for me to think about things outside the house at this time, the situation seems to have eased now, but as long as the enemy has enough manpower and is willing to pay more casualties to cover the ground and attack, for the panicked tribesmen in the courtyard who are not stable,
, but it was an immediate disaster!
At this moment, I heard Ye Mengqiu shouting from the tower: "Don't be afraid, I have sent people to the county in advance to see whether the Ye Mansion will be destroyed first or the county soldiers will arrive first!"
Zifan was startled after hearing this: "I didn't send anyone in advance..."
However, he heard the tribesmen and servants shouting for joy, and their morale was greatly boosted. He suddenly woke up and murmured: "After all, my father is still so cool!"
It doesn't matter whether the enemy believes this or not, as long as the tribesmen believe it.
There are thousands of strong men in the clan, and they are equipped with weapons and fort defenses. Even if thousands of enemies come, as long as their morale does not collapse, they will not be able to defeat them in a short time. Just listen to Ye Mengqiu's cold order:
"Select the best archers in the clan, temper all the arrow tips with the most poisonous medicine, and then go out along the secret passage after dark."
"At the same time, activate the magic circle within the clan. Even if it is not thorough, it will still have some effect at night."
"I want to see who is here who dares to do this?"
Ye Zifan was sincerely convinced and responded: "Yes!"
At this time, the sound of killing outside was loud, but it did not affect everyone within a few miles. In front of a courtyard in the farm, Lu Shangjing listened to the noise outside, and gritted his teeth and said: "If you are not a bandit, how could the bandit attack Wubao?"
, there is plenty of property to plunder in the farms outside!"
After listening carefully again, he breathed a sigh of relief: "There are not many people!"
After thinking about it, he pulled out the bullock cart. Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled Qianqian in: "Quick, it's not safe here. Come out with me. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to my employer.
"
Qianqian managed to calm down and asked: "Where to go?"
"Let's go to the Cao family first. The Cao family has many marriages with us. They won't refuse to save their lives, otherwise their reputation will be ruined. How many people are willing to associate with a family that doesn't save their relatives, especially when I say they are bandits?
——Not many families are afraid of bandits."
"The second step is to go to the county. If a clan is destroyed by thieves, the county magistrate can't help but walk away. He will definitely come to the rescue."
"Quick, let's leave while these bandits are ahead!"
Qianqian sat in the car and heard the accent in the word "bandit". She was very smart and immediately asked: "Isn't it a bandit?"
"Hey, have you ever seen such well-organized bandits? But if they were real bandits, we wouldn't be able to escape. Only these fake bandits, who are well-arranged and don't disperse and rob, can't notice us for a while." Lu Shangjing finished.
Ignoring the faint sounds of killing, he cracked his whip and scolded the ox cart as he drove off along the road.
The setting sun is hidden in the treetops, dyeing the clouds red. Through the cracks of pines and cypresses, a figure is reflected, and the cold light of the soldier's armor is reflected.
It was mid-autumn, and before nightfall, the mountain breeze was already a bit chilly.
Yu Chong silently looked at Wubao. Not far away were several farms, and further away were miles of farmland. In his sight, the wooden building of Ye Mansion was just a tiny bud against the backdrop of the sunset.
"I heard it's called Louwailou?" Yu Chong asked casually, hearing footsteps behind him.
"That's the name!" The two fire chiefs behind him looked at each other in confusion, but did not want to get entangled in this kind of thing, so they reported: "General Banner, the spy has confirmed that there are about three thousand people in Yejiazhuang..."
Yu Chong listened, interrupted, and said, "I can't trust these spies."
"But this is the master's arrangement..."
Yu Chong turned around, looked at the two of them lightly, and paused for a moment.
The two of them thought about it seriously and admitted: "This information is inaccurate. We have done it before to kill clan gods, and we didn't respond immediately. But now that we have arrived, most of the Ye clan's manpower has already been gathered.
The farm outside is less than 30%."
"And we have already retreated to Wubao before we attacked. Everyone knows that it will be difficult to fight."
"If we were on the grassland, the useless scouts would have been killed long ago... But this is the mainland, and it is the person arranged by the master, so there is nothing we can do."
A group of people would never have thought that it was Ye Qing's exam, and the Ye clan gathered the whole clan to suddenly worship their ancestors, and they would immediately notice that there was a change in the divine card, and gathered most of the people in the sacrificial hall, so they could quickly enter a state of war! This is
It's completely different. If there is no defense, even if three thousand people of the Ye family are slaughtered, it will only be chopping melons and vegetables. But with defense, it will be difficult for 250 people to attack.
Yu Chong felt a little disappointed in his heart. He pondered for a moment and then spoke cautiously: "Feixun transferred fifty of us, and almost half of them were spared. When we came, we thought there was a change in the Central Plains, and we all wanted to die..."
"We are the vitality of the Yu family. No matter whether this is successful or not, we must maintain our strength and return to the grassland. I have to think about my brothers."
Yu Chong squinted his eyes and stared at the two of them, pressing his hand on the handle of the knife without leaving any trace: "I think you can see... the fortress in front is very strong. If we attack hard, we will probably suffer heavy casualties, so I deliberately suppress you.
I lost face with the master of the house, do you...do you blame me?"
But the two of them suddenly realized what they heard and shook their heads desperately: "How can you complain? Not to mention that the eldest brother is doing it for our own good. Although we are the minions of the family, we are not afraid of death, but we have been working hard in the grassland for these years, and we have enjoyed a lot of glory.
, I also want to die worthily, and don’t want these two hundred kilograms to be handed over in a meaningless place." Yu Chong carefully examined it for a while, and felt a little relieved to know that it was not a lie. He looked back at the twilight rising on the horizon, and the cluster of tiny buds that were gradually lighting up.
, branching off to the business topic: "Have the Xingyan Disk been repaired? It is actually not difficult to capture this fortress. We just need to use magicians, but without orders, we cannot command them!"
"Uh... no, we can't do anything with this thing. It always makes mistakes at critical moments. The Taoist priest who accompanied the army has two knives. He spent the whole day playing with them and said they lacked accessories. It's early..."
Yu Chong waved his hands behind him: "It goes without saying in detail. If it can't be used, forget it. The general is out and it's impossible to ask for instructions on everything. Just stick to the original plan. Now that you've been discovered, you can't fight hard and withdraw."
That’s it, anyway, it’s normal for us to act in the name of bandits.”
"As long as the other party is relaxed, we will find another opportunity to sneak in at night, kill them all, burn the buildings and retreat, then follow the dark road back north to the grassland to make contact again..."
"Now, I'm going to act like a bandit and send two teams to the farm to kill people and steal money. Tell them to be careful and don't light a fire and alert the county."
"yes!"
However, even the execution of the bandit mission was hindered. At night, someone suddenly reported: "General Banner, the people who went to kill the farm outside were blocked."
Yu Chong asked casually at first: "How many casualties are there?"
"Seven dead!"
"What?" Yu Chong stood up fiercely, his face ashen, and immediately led his soldiers to check.
You can see from a distance that there is a faint mist, filling the night.
"Qimen Formation?" He was immediately shocked and looked back at the magician behind him.
The accompanying military magician also became nervous. He looked at it carefully for a moment and then relaxed: "There is no gathering force, so it is not a real formation. How can this small clan in the county have this? It's just a trick arrangement."
Others looked at each other in confusion. This magician was not familiar with military affairs, but they knew that this would be enough to tilt the battle situation in wartime.
Yu Chong thought of more and couldn't help but turn his head: "I haven't seen this this afternoon, why is this happening all of a sudden?"
The spy wiped his sweat and whispered: "It happened suddenly at dusk, but it's not obvious..."
Yu Chong's eyes were cold and he stared at this person: "Why don't you report him?"
"This..." the spy shrank his neck and sneered: "I thought it was natural fog at the time, so I didn't report it. It's autumn now, so there should be fog!"
"You...this is not the place to talk. Come back with me." Yu Chong showed no expression and turned back to the magician: "Although you can't use magic, you can monitor the nearby area so that no one can escape and call the police.
, is this still possible?”
The magician heard this and responded without hesitation: "That's okay, just give me a fire archer!"
"Here you go!" Yu Chong ordered, his face turned livid, and without saying a word, he led his men back to where they were.
With a "clang" sound, the long knife was drawn out. It was sharp and sharp. Without any explanation, it slashed directly at the spy. The two fire eyes and quick hands quickly held it and shouted in a low voice: "Brother, no!"
Yu Chong was holding his hands tightly at this time, and kicked the man to the ground with all his strength: "It's because there are trash like you in the house that we often get into trouble! If a scout like you were to die on the grassland,
One told the enemy to chop it into pieces and feed it to the wolves!"
The spy fell to the ground in embarrassment, with blood streaming from the corner of his mouth and his neck scratching: "You, Zhang Erlang, came from the same courtyard back then, and you didn't show any affection at all? They were born in the same family, so they were given a surname. How dare you call me "kill"?
!I thought the head of the family would tolerate being so domineering..."
"Shuzi, I've tolerated you for a long time!" He was really furious and had murderous intent.
"General Qi, calm down!" The surrounding fire chiefs came up to persuade them, and loudly signaled to the spy: "If there is any other situation, please report it honestly."
After all, the spy was still smart and knew life and death, so he quickly reported before the battle: "Except for this matter, everything is normal. If there is another problem, you will take my head!"
Before I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a faint sound. It was the sound of a gong!
"It's enemy reinforcements!" Yu Chong's face was ashen and he stared into the distance. He saw red light boiling in the dark night and many people holding torches approaching.
Yu Chong was immediately furious and shook. The two fire chiefs could no longer hold it down. With a flash of sword light, the spy's head flew out and blood splattered.
Yu Chong didn't even look at it, and ordered: "Kill them, don't let them join together!"
"Yes!" At this time, the fire chief responded, and the armor leaves clanked.
