Chapter 53: The Bandits Are Coming
Two days before the attack began, the evil witches who were arranged to be next to the bandit leader blew the wind on their pillows, saying that the day of the evil witch attacking the twenty-nine villages was approaching, and they were asked to prepare early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
So the bandit leaders gathered their men and horses, and went to the vicinity of the 29th village early to squat - by the way, the bandit forces of Little Thumb have been jointly eliminated by them, and the surviving bandits and the materials in the cottage have been divided among the bandits, and the cottage has also been burned by the bandits.
On the day of the attack, the chief witch of Nazhu deliberately sent some evil witches to operate under the noses of the bandits, deliberately let them arrest a few people, and told them that she was going to attack the twenty-nine villages tonight. The bandits were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately made preparations until it was dark.
After the evil witch attacked, the bandits' hearts were like 10,000 ants, itching their hearts and scratching their livers. The white madman kept his calm, he wanted to wait for the troops in the twenty-nine villages to be attracted to the side of the evil witch before making a move, so that the other bandit leaders and their bandits could endure for a while.
Not long after, the bandits, who had gone to inquire about the situation, came back and reported that the twenty-nine villages had become a mess and were about to be defeated by the evil witch!
When the white madman heard this, he couldn't sit still. You must know that robbery is also on a first-come, first-served basis, but this is not a courtesy between lawbreakers, but as long as you go late, good things will be looted by others. After that, if you still want to get good things, you can only rob your peers.
Which is more cost-effective, robbing the evil witch or robbing the twenty-nine villages that have almost lost their ability to resist? This question couldn't be simpler for the bandits. So the white madman immediately ordered the bandit leaders to lead their men to attack from the west towards the twenty-nine villages in several ways.
Dividing troops is not a white maniac's tactic, he simply thinks that it is easy for a few bandits to rob a village because of grabbing things, which will seriously affect the efficiency of robbery.
The appearance of the bandits was undoubtedly worse for the twenty-nine villages, and almost all the villages that were not attacked by the evil witch sent the militia to help, and the defense was as weak as paper. Fortunately, some of the shrine maidens at Riya Shrine did not go out to support, and most of the bandits were Ira, and under the deterrence of the shrine maidens, the bandits who attacked these villages took only a small part of their belongings and left in a hurry.
Besides, after Yu Mingli led the army to the east gate of Nami Castle, she waited outside the gate for a long time, but did not see the castle garrison come out to meet her. Afraid that the situation would change, she hurriedly sent someone to Nami Castle to check on the situation, only to learn that the temporary commander of Nami Castle had just led an army out of the city.
Furious when he heard this, he immediately led his army into the castle and forcibly took over the garrison of Nami Castle. Due to the temporary commander's two transfer of the castle's garrison forces, there are now less than 500 garrisons left in the castle, and they can only barely maintain the defense system of Nami Castle.
The village outside was already in shambles, and Yu Mingli knew that she would definitely not be able to solve the problem with the forces at hand. Due to the shortage of troops, Yu Mingli could only send people to contact the major clans, and at the same time went to Yishan and Yulisi alone, hoping that they could lend their guards to him.
"We don't have an obligation to assist you, do we?"
Yu Lisi, who had just quarreled with Yu Mingli, was still angry, so how could she lend her troops? Yishan didn't make a sound, just stood silently beside Meier, as if thinking about something.
"Your Royal Highness, if you are angry because of my previous words, then I apologize to you." Yu Mingli bowed to Euris with red eyes, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Lend me soldiers! ”
Seeing that Yu Mingli took the initiative to admit her mistake, Yu Lisi's expression relaxed, but soon she straightened her face again and refused Yu Mingli's request.
"I accept your apology, but I still can't lend you soldiers."
"Why?! I'm—"
Euris raised her hand to interrupt Yu Mingli's words and explained.
"It's not that I hold a grudge. If I had brought a general guard, or an army from the kingdom, I would have lent you soldiers. But I only went out this time with my team of personal guards, who were allegiances who gave me everything, and as their masters, I could not let them fight for a group of strangers, it would be unfair to them. ”
When Yu Mingli heard this, he could only turn his gaze to Yishan. Yishan grinned awkwardly and smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry, for the same reason, I can't lend you the soldiers of the Xiaohu family."
Yu Mingli saw that neither of them would lend her soldiers, and her eyes became even redder. Just as she bit her lip and wanted to turn away, Yishan spoke again.
"But...... But if it's Mel, I can lend him the soldiers. Yishan blushed and said, "Because he is my cousin and my relative, if he is to command the troops, the guards should have no opinion." ”
Yu Mingli didn't react for a while, thinking that Yishan was mocking her, and tears almost fell out. But Maier and Euris reacted, Yishan's words were to remind Yu Mingli that the person she was asking for now was not herself, nor Euris, but Mel, who was related to them.
"Me too!"
When Euris saw Yu Mingli's pitiful appearance, she immediately raised her voice, trying to get her attention.
"If it were Mel, my team of maids could give all their loyalty. Because I love him, my love is the reason for their loyalty. ”
However, Yu Mingli still didn't understand what they meant, and Douda's tears fell to the ground, and the aggrieved expression on his face seemed to say: You bully people.
Her inactivity made the two of them feel very helpless, but they were not good at explaining it in front of their subordinates.
In fact, even if Yu Mingli doesn't ask for Maier, she can borrow soldiers, as long as she is willing to owe a big favor to the Xiaohu family and the Egus royal family for the Yu family or the twenty-nine villages. However, Yu Mingli didn't know anything about politics, and he couldn't think of that aspect at all, so he could only stand where he was and do it in a hurry.
In fact, Uris and Yishanken are not willing to lend troops to Mel as they said, just because of family affection and love, both of them want to give Mel a chance to show off and sell him a big favor. Even if Yu Mingli didn't borrow soldiers, their words would earn them a lot of impression points, and they wouldn't lose anything.
While Yu Mingli was wiping his tears in front of the three of them, the bandits and the evil witch had already hit the castles of the major clans. The castles of these great clans do not have the high walls and fortresses of the Yu family mansion and Nami Castle, but they are more than enough to withstand the attacks of small bandits and evil witches.
When the village was attacked, the clans quickly summoned their tenants back to the castle, and the gates were closed so that the soldiers could keep a close eye on the surrounding movements.
Some bandits and witches tried to attack the castle, and after losing a few men, they only wounded a few of the unlucky ones in the castle with their bows and arrows. With plenty of easy targets to grab outside, the bandits and witches gave up attacking the castle and plundered other villages.
These clans have made up their minds that no matter what happens, they will not send troops out. Some of the nervous clans even gave orders to their soldiers to shoot anyone who approached the castle until they thought the attack was over. Some of the messengers sent by Yu Mingli were shot as soon as they arrived at the castle, and the rest shouted outside the castle, and all the people in the castle pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not answer at all, so the messengers had to return in vain.
In fact, Yu Mingli didn't have much hope for these big clans, so she didn't hesitate to give up her face and took the initiative to admit her mistake to Yulis, because now the only ones who can lend her soldiers are Yulisi and Yishan.
My father and lay people handed over the 29th village to me, and now that the 29th village has become like this, how should I explain it to them......
The feeling of powerlessness stung Yu Mingli's heart again and again, making her burst into tears, and even cried later. Don't look at Yu Minglizhang's high position in the twenty-ninth village, but in the end, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl, her experience and experience are limited, and her heart is not so strong.
Uris and Yishan's situation is similar to Yu Mingli's, they can't help but wonder what they will look like when they encounter a desperate situation, and will they cry more sadly than her when they see Yu Mingli's appearance? Yu Mingli's tears made the two of them have a strong sense of resonance, and her crying also made them feel heartbroken.
"You're a real man...... How can a person in a high position shed tears casually! ”
Euris took out her handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe her tears from Yu Mingli. Yishan's nose was sour when she heard this, and she almost cried, but fortunately she controlled it, but her eyes were still red.
"It's a good thing you didn't bring anyone with you, otherwise your majesty would have to be maintained by blood in the future."
"Woooooooooo......oo Twenty-nine villages are almost finished...... What's the use of majesty...... Woowoo woo ......"
"What do you call that! What does it mean that the twenty-nine village is about to end? It's just a bit confusing, eh...... Plus it seems that all the villages are already on fire......"
Euris was quite confident in speaking, but the moment she turned her head to look out the window, half of her confidence was immediately gone.
"Anyway! No matter what the situation, you have to keep your feet up! ”
Euris patted Yu Mingli on the shoulder hard. In fact, this was said by Uris to herself, and after she saw Yu Mingli's unbearable appearance, she made up her mind that even if she fell into a desperate situation, she would not be seen by others.
"Cheer up...... Woowoo...... Cheer up ......"
Yu Mingli snorted hard, and then cried again.
"I ...... I can't pull myself together...... Woowoo woo ......"
At this time, Kiki, who was following Meier, quietly tugged at his cuffs, and Maier turned his face and saw Kiki's red eyes.
"The host ......"
Maier knew that Kiki was soft-hearted and wanted to persuade him to help Yu Mingli talk. But this can't be said casually, if he helps Yu Mingli speak now, it will be equivalent to taking the initiative to help her, and when the time comes, whether he owes a favor or not is the other party's final say. Maier doesn't care about human favors, but Urris's maid team and Yishan's bodyguards are going out to fight. If you fight, you will die, and it is not Mel's people who die, but Ullis and Yishan's people, how dare Mel speak casually?
"Why are you so stupid?"
At this time, Euris stood on tiptoe and tapped Yu Mingli's forehead a few times with her fingers.
"Asking people to show sincerity! You also need to know who to ask! Haven't you ever begged someone else when you're so old? How bad is your Yu family's education! ”
As she spoke, Euris winked hard at Myer. Yu Mingli could be regarded as "understanding" what Uris meant, and she immediately wiped a handful of tears, walked quickly to Myer, and shook his hand.
"Please...... Persuade them to send troops. In return...... In return! I can promise you everything! As long as I can do it, even if it's a sacrifice of my body!! ”
Click!
Yu Mingli's words made Uris and Yishan's sympathy for her disappear in an instant, and was replaced by a hostility that was far below freezing.
This guy ...... Abominable abominable abominable! If you can't marry Lao Tzu, you can marry your son? Do you want soldiers or people? There must be a limit to greed! I was still pitying you just now! Bah! Shameless!
Euris's teeth clucked, but the maids behind her still maintained their graceful demeanor, but there was a chill in their eyes when they looked at Yu Mingli.
Shameless! I don't know shame, I don't know shame, I don't know shame! Those tears must be fake! It's a lie! It's for me to let my guard down! Despicable! Obscene! Huh? Her boobs are bigger than mine!? Sure enough, it's a shameless person, even the boobs are so shameless!!
Yishan's expression and movements were exactly the same as Euris's, and the guards behind her had helpless faces on their faces, not knowing what kind of expression to make.
