The two maids agreed in unison and called several maids to come out.
Lu Wu said: "I'll go too."
The little princess asked: "Aren't you afraid of the green dancing girl?"
Lu Wu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. I've seen a lot."
The little princess was stunned, and then she remembered what Lu Wu had experienced following Lin Jue in Luoyan Valley in Funiu Mountain, and she suddenly understood. The battle in Luoyan Valley back then was much more brutal than here. After what Lu Wu had experienced, he would naturally not be afraid of this kind of thing.
Small scene.
"I am coming too."
"I am coming too."
Qianqian and Zheng Nuanyu also shouted.
The little princess nodded and said: "Then let's go together. Everyone moved, and carried the injured to a sheltered place to clean and apply medicine and bandage. Fortunately, I brought a lot of medicine. It was originally intended to prevent injuries from falls, sprains, and cuts by thorns, but I sent
It’s been put to use.”
If Lin Jue were here, he would definitely praise the little princess greatly. Before, Lin Jue said that he brought too many things, making it seem like he was living there forever. Now it seems that the little princess's careful arrangements have actually played a big role.
. Not only did I bring medicine, but I also brought enough food. The outdoor spring outing that was originally just one meal has now become far away. The remaining food can still sustain two meals, at least I won't be hungry. I'm afraid it's a sunny day
Bring an umbrella, bring dry food with a full stomach. This is the truth of the old saying. It is always better to be prepared.
The nursing staff carried the dead and injured to the grassland on the mountain ridge, and when the nine dead people were lying there in a row, everyone in the Lin family truly realized the cruelty and severity of the situation in front of them. Some people cried out. These nursing homes
We have been in the Lin family for many days, and many people are familiar with the master and servants of the Lin family. We have talked and greeted each other when we were on duty, but now they have become lifeless corpses. How can we not make people sad and cry.
Guo Caiwei ordered people to take out the felt curtains they brought and cover all the dead people.
When a group of injured people were carried in front of everyone, the crying became even louder. Some of those seriously injured had their arms or hands cut off, some had large cuts on their heads, and some had their chests and abdomen cut off.
They were disemboweled and disemboweled. With such an injury, the possibility of survival was slim. They were all covered in blood, but none of them groaned in pain, and some even grinned.
"Don't cry anymore. What's the use of crying? Clean and bandage the wounds immediately, and take care of them with the same care as you would your relatives. They all became like this to protect us." The little princess said in a deep voice.
Everyone wiped their tears and nodded. They were all busy getting water, cleaning, bandaging and applying medicine.
Sun Dayong and more than fifty guards discussed countermeasures in a low voice after setting up fortifications on the north side of the mountain ridge. Although the thieves retreated, the number of the enemy was still twice as many as his own. They did not retreat too far. They were thrown from the mountain ridge not long ago.
Several torches illuminated their position. They gathered sixty or seventy steps below, seeming to be resting and preparing for another attack. The guards fired a round with their repeating crossbows, but they didn't know whether they hit the target or not.
.
The problem now is not only that the numbers are still inferior, but that the several bonfires near the mountain ridge fortifications are about to burn out. There is nothing to burn anymore. After the fires are extinguished, the chaos in the darkness is extremely detrimental to the defenders. The thieves can easily
Easily touched without any
They need to be hit by crossbows. Moreover, if one person is not taken care of well and is touched on the mountain ridge by them, it will be a tiger among the sheep. All the ladies of the Lin family, the maids and other people who followed will suffer.
But this problem cannot be solved. Even if all the clothes and clothes carried by the people on the mountain ridge are thrown into the fire and burned, it will not last long. At present, this method is actually of little use.
"Why don't we take the initiative to fight with them below. Just at the foot of the hillside, lest they rush up, we pester them so that they can't attack. We have repeating crossbows, what are we afraid of them? Waiting passively like this is not an option after all."
Nagoin suggested.
Sun Dayong frowned and thought. He had vetoed this method before, but now it seems that it has both advantages and disadvantages to the current situation. It is certainly a way to actively fight against the opponent. You can force them to fight with you and avoid them.
They rushed up and posed a threat to everyone on the mountain ridge. But in this way, they gave up the advantage of the geographical location and took the initiative to attack with twice the manpower of the opponent. I'm afraid it felt like seeking death. In normal times, this kind of suggestion would be natural
He was scolded by Sun Dayong and scolded the proposer for being stupid. But at this moment, this was a way to delay time and was worth a try.
"If we do this, we must all be prepared to die in battle. If we rush down to fight face to face, we will lose our advantage. It all depends on our ability. In addition, to prevent the other party from raiding the mountain ridge, ten people must stay behind in the mountain ridge fortifications.
A few brothers, just in case. In this way, we can only have forty people who can go down to fight the enemy. The risk is too great. Unless we can defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, it will be a big failure. We have
Is this capable of defeating more than a hundred people with forty people?" Sun Dayong frowned.
Everyone fell into deep thought. Indeed, this method was too risky. Once the active attack failed, the situation would collapse. If so, not only would they lose their own lives, but everyone in the Lin family they were protecting would also suffer.
"Let's do this. I will take ten brothers to sneak attack them. The remaining brothers are still here to hold on. Our purpose is not to fight them head-on, but to line up at various points on the hillside to monitor each other's movements. As a result
Instruct you to shoot their eyes and ears. Once we send out a signal, it means that there is an enemy attack. You can fire crossbows at the place where we sent the alarm. This can delay time greatly. Miss Bai went to meet Mr. Lin. Once they come back, they will
Mr. Lin's resourcefulness will surely lead to a plan to defeat the enemy. Let's just delay it until Mr. Lin arrives." Sun Dayong made a decision.
Everyone stared at him blankly, thinking: Didn't he get himself caught in it? Crossbow arrows in the dark don't have eyesight. Doesn't the warning shot also put you in danger of being hit by the arrow?
Sun Dayong obviously knew what they were thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there are a lot of rocks on the hillside. Once the warning is given, you will hide under the rocks, and the crossbow arrows will not be able to hurt your own people. I don't want to die at the hands of my brothers."
This is done entirely to prevent the opponent from easily touching it. Once the bonfire in front of us is extinguished, we are blinded. Delaying the opponent's attack is the best way. All we can do is suppress it with continuous crossbows and shoot
Kill. If we are lucky and can kill dozens more of them, our numbers will be equal, so we won’t be afraid of them."
Everyone looked at the already dim sight of
With several piles of bonfires, they knew that what Sun Dayong said was right. The closer the opponent got, the greater the danger. They could only slowly consume their manpower and delay their time.
"Without further delay, take action immediately. Brother Agui and the brothers from the first team are following me. Let's spread out ten steps apart and go down forty steps. Be smart and we may hit each other head on.
Go up to them. Maybe they have already started to attack upwards."
The ten nurses in the first team were all still intact, so they all whispered their promises, spread out and crouched down the hillside. More than ten people were spaced ten steps apart, covering a hundred steps down the hillside.
Cross section. Basically blocking the opponent's attacking area.
About seventy steps below the hillside, the bandit leader was already preparing to attack again. After summing up the lessons from the last failure, the bandit leader came up with a way. He divided the remaining 140 people into three teams, with the middle
It was a feint attack of more than 60 people, and the teams of 40 people on each side attracted the opponent's attention and went straight to the mountain ridge. They also saw that it would be very difficult to break through the mountain ridge head-on.
Only by attracting the opponent, two men on both sides rush out from the flanks, and disrupting the formation, can success be possible.
Obviously, the thieves had underestimated the enemy before. They thought they could directly attack the mountain ridge with their numerical advantage. But it turned out that they failed to do it. So the leading masked thieves began to use their brains to think of a way. They began to set up their formations and attack in the east and west.
They feigned an attack. The masked leader seemed to have some leadership skills.
The team of more than 60 people in the middle held up simple shields woven from rattan branches and began to rush upward with great fanfare. Their purpose was to attract the attention of the opponents on the mountain ridge, so they deliberately did not hide it. The two on both sides were
The real main attacking team. They crept up among the rocks like ghosts without making any sound.
However, this wishful thinking somehow came to nothing. After a shrill whistle of a bamboo flute sounded from the hillside on the left, a large number of crossbow arrows rained down, immediately killing six of the forty people attacking on the left.
The rest of them hurriedly lay down behind the rocks and did not dare to move. The bad news on the right came soon after, there was another whistle sound, and a rain of arrows followed, killing and wounding seven more people. However, the feint attack team in the middle was dillydallying around with great fanfare.
Safe and sound.
"Damn it, what's going on? Do they have clairvoyance? Can they see this?" A group of thieves cursed one after another.
"Could it be that they hit each other by mistake? Are they trying to shoot an arrow?" A thief with a worrying IQ asked from the sidelines.
"Fart! Didn't you hear the sound of the flute? That's someone on the hillside giving a warning." The thief cursed angrily. When the flute sounded, he understood what was going on. The other party's hand actually broke his own by mistake.
The method of sneak attack and feint attack was really infuriating. This caused a huge blow to the self-esteem of the masked thief leader who claimed to be a leading general.
"We can't wait any longer. Let's see how many arrows they have. Give me my order, and the three teams will advance together. Let me attack. We must win this time. If we fail to win this time, you will all die here. I was delayed from afternoon to
Now, it's six or seven hours, and we don't have much time left." The leader of the thieves shouted sternly. He also realized that the other party sent eyes and ears to guide the bow and arrow shooting just to delay time, and he had to make a last ditch effort.
