The winter before last, Jiang Qin and Zhang Manniu encountered a sudden violent snowstorm in the Dabie Mountains by chance, causing the two to get lost in the mountains. If Jiang Qin hadn't supported Zhang Manniu all the way with his strong skills,
Moving forward, Zhang Manniu had long since starved to death in the depths of the Dabie Mountains, even with his frostbite.
It can be said that Jiang Qin was life-saving to Zhang Manniu.
Now Zhang Manniu flatly rejected Jiang Qin, which really made Jiang Qin feel embarrassed.
"Brother Zhang, it's meaningless for you to say that. Please say something nice. When my brother comes to your land, do you really want to watch him sleep in the grass?"
Zhang Manniu slapped himself on the forehead with a big slap.
"Brother, you are really making things difficult for me. It is not my brother who has the final say in Baodu Village, so I am really sorry."
Jiang Qin's face sank, turned around and left, not even bothering to talk to Zhang Manniu anymore.
People in the world are happy with their grudges, but they are most disgusted with Zhang Manniu's disgusting behavior of pretending to be a good family member despite being a slave girl.
Arriving in front of Lin Feng, Jiang Qin knelt down on one knee with a face full of shame and raised his hands: "Brother Lin, it was Gong Yi who admitted that the wrong person did something wrong, causing everyone to go here in vain."
Lin Feng hurriedly lifted Jiang Qin up from the ground with both hands: "What did Gong Yi say? It's not your fault what happened today, don't take it to heart."
After saying this, Lin Feng turned around and faced the generals: "They don't welcome us. Brothers, mount up and work harder. When we get back to Wan County, we'll have enough big bowls of wine and chunks of meat, so we can reward you guys with your hard work."
Everyone agreed in agreement, and Gan Ning's brothers whistled repeatedly, looking like a group of gangsters about to commit a crime.
A drop of cold sweat quietly fell from Lin Feng's forehead.
I don't blame Baoqizhai for not taking him in. He doesn't look like a good person anyway.
The crowd was circling and beating, trying to make the horses gallop forward, when bursts of roaring sounds were heard in the distance, as if a large group of people were arriving.
Gan Ning was extremely vigilant and urged his horse to come to Lin Feng's side, and whispered: "My lord, it seems that there is an enemy coming, but I don't know whether they are coming for us or Baodu Village."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and led everyone to the side of the road to take a look before talking.
Dian Wei and others' expressions were as usual, and they did not take the coming people into consideration. Not even Gan Ning's brothers were panicked, and no one even took out their weapons. Apparently, they were used to sudden fights.
Soon after, a group of nearly a thousand people arrived.
The first one is a tall horse that is all white without a trace of hair. You can tell at a glance that it comes from the north. It is completely different from the short and skinny horses from the south.
Sitting on top of the white horse was a young general, wearing a bright silver helmet with ear protection on top. He was not wearing any battle armor, but had a breast shield strapped to his chest, and two apricot-yellow shields were stuck on his back.
Carrying the flag, wearing a pair of buffalo leather over-the-knee combat boots, holding a simple knife with a handle as long as the blade in his right hand, lifting the silk rein with his left hand, the war horse neighed loudly, and kept kicking with its front hooves.
Kick, step on the spot with your hind hooves, indescribably cool and handsome.
Behind him were teams of neatly uniformed sword and shield players. They seemed to be relatively well-trained, at least they were not stragglers scraping together feather dusters.
Baodu Village discovered the attacking team earlier than Lin Feng and others, and had already closed the gate of the village tightly. Numerous village soldiers had already climbed onto the wall of the village one after another, each with their swords unsheathed, looking at the village with murderous intent.
Outsiders.
The young general first looked at the bandit soldiers in Baodu Village with disdain, then turned to look at Lin Feng and others.
"Who are you, and are you together with the thieves in the village?"
Xu Huang urged the horse out and slightly cupped his hands on the horse: "We have nothing to do with the people in the village. We just happened to pass by here and saw you coming from a distance. To avoid suspicion, we temporarily stopped and watched what happened."
The young general pointed his sword at Xu Huang: "That's best. Since it has nothing to do with the bandits, please stop where you are for the time being, otherwise the misunderstanding will cause you some damage, but don't blame me for being cruel."
After saying that, the young general ignored Lin Feng and others and urged his horse to arrive in front of Baodu Village.
"Listen to the thieves in the village, I am Qiao Zheng, the eldest son of the Qiao family in Wan County. Ten days ago, you were so brave that you intercepted the Qiao family's caravan. You really don't know how to live or die. You are sensible.
Present the Qiao family's goods intact with both hands, and then go out to the village and kneel down to beg for mercy. I will spare your life. If you dare to spit out the word "no" from between your teeth, don't blame the Qiao family for not thinking of mercy.
, I will kill all the chickens and dogs in your village, leaving no one behind."
Zhang Manniu laughed loudly on top of the village wall.
"Young baby, don't boast casually. Be careful that the wind in the mountains is strong and it may blow your tongue. I don't care about the Qiao family or the Lu family. As long as you enter the gate of Baodu village, the goods will have their last names changed. You go to the rivers and lakes."
After asking around, we all in Baodu Village are born under the zodiac sign Pi Xiu. As long as the food is in their mouths, they will never be pulled out."
Hearing what Zhang Manniu said was disgusting, Qiao Zheng spat in disgust.
Since the words were not speculative, he stopped talking nonsense at the moment. He raised the sword in his hand and shouted an order to attack the city.
Qiao's swords, shields and swords surged forward.
All swords, shields, and swordsmen hold a knife in one hand and a leather shield on the other arm. The leather shield is not large, but it is enough to protect the face and chest.
Arrows began to shoot out sparsely from the wall of Baodu Village.
Ding Feng, who was behind Lin Feng, exclaimed in admiration: "There are so many bows and arrows in this village. It is indeed a famous village on the road."
Lin Feng suddenly felt as if someone had punched him in the face. He turned to look at Ding Feng with stars in his eyes: "When did you become blind?"
Ding Feng blinked: "Master, my disciple can see and is not blind."
Forest
Feng pointed at the less than fifty soft bows on the wall of Baodu Village and asked: "There are less than a hundred bows in total here, and there is not a single strong bow, and the range is less than a hundred steps. You are not blind when you say there are many bows and arrows here."
What is it?"
Ding Feng was very surprised: "Master, there are usually not even ten cowhide bows in small villages, but here there are nearly fifty. Isn't that too much?"
Lin Feng was speechless.
He didn't realize for a moment how the village in Jianghu could compare with the regular army.
Since the beginning of Lin Feng's southern and northern campaigns, every time he has charged into battle, he has not been armed with nearly a thousand strong bows and witnessed the overwhelming crossbow formations of regular legions. He has long forgotten how ordinary Jianghu rangers can easily gain control from the army.
A strong bow and a strong crossbow.
The soldiers of the Qiao family were quite brave. A dozen of them were shot down here and there, but no one retreated. Instead, they shouted and charged more resolutely and swiftly.
Soon, the sword and shield soldiers braved the rain of arrows on the wall and came under the wall.
In front of the village gate, the sword and shield soldiers organized the many leather shields together to cover the attack. Several comrades holding large axes stood in front of the village gate and began to break down the door with their large axes.
The gate of Baodu Village is not a single piece of wood, and with their financial resources, they have nowhere to look for such a huge tree.
The village gate is made up of logs as thick as an arm arranged horizontally and vertically in an orderly manner, tied together by mountain vines as thick as fingers.
Under the chop of the big ax, the logs soon began to fall off.
The thieves swarming over from the village were armed with long spears and stabbing out from the gaps between the logs at the village gate. The sword and shield soldiers who broke through the gate kept falling down.
It's just that the self-trained team members of the Qiao family obviously have enough courage. Every time someone falls, someone will rush up from behind and pick up the big ax and continue to chop.
It didn't take long for the gate of Baodu Village to be opened, creating a hole large enough for people to get in.
Someone among the sword-and-shield soldiers shouted and walked over holding up his leather shield.
The battle at the village gate became increasingly fierce.
No matter how hard the bandit soldiers in Baodu Village fought, in the end, the sword and shield soldiers were superior. The gate of the village creaked and swayed a few times, and then opened completely.
Qiao Zheng shouted "Hello" and rushed into Baodu Village, destroying his horse and wielding his sword.
The sword and shield soldiers followed him and swarmed away.
Seeing that Baodu Village was about to be destroyed, Lin Feng glanced around and sighed: "Fortunately, we didn't enter the village to stay, otherwise we would have been in danger at this time."
All the generals laughed.
Everyone can tell that Lin Feng is joking.
If everyone joins the war, no matter which side they help, the other side will probably be completely defeated by corpses scattered across the field.
Behind Lin Feng were a group of ferocious tigers, which would devour flesh and suck blood once their claws and teeth were exposed.
