There is not enough manpower.

How can we provide a stable, sustained force.

Li Dawei thought for a while, patted his head, and muttered 'really stupid'.

Estimate the width of the passage and ask everyone to find an item that is one or two feet wider than the passage. After a while, the big bear resisted a thick log, which was supposed to be the 'battering ram' used for the siege gate.

Place one end of the 'battering ram' against the bottom of the opposite stone wall, and the other end half on the 'stone gate', and put two pieces of leather armor on it. The 'Big Bear' picked up his mace and smashed it down on the leather armor near the end of the stone gate.

With each smash, the stone door was pushed out a few inches, and the dust on it fell in a trickle. After dozens of strokes, the stone gate was slowly but surely pushed outward.

I vaguely heard a bang outside, and the stone door was finally opened. Fresh air mixed with dust rushed in.

No cheers?

Li Dawei looked back at the 'divine servants', his face was as it should be, and his eyes were fanatical.

This stone door is several feet thick and weighs several tons, and it is extremely ingenious to make a secret door. Outside the door, there was a pile of loose rocks and broken vines. It should have been sealed from the outside, for a long time, overgrown with plants.

The exit is in a small canyon and is very hidden. Li Dawei originally wanted Daxiong to close the door again, but after thinking about it, the materials inside are currently very important to him, and it depends on the time to pretend to be forced, so why bother.

There are too many things and people are needed. I'm locked inside, and I don't know what it's like outside.

Walking outside, the exit is a horse farm, a large meadow, black, you can't see it really, listen carefully, you can hear the horse's nose.

Along the foot of the mountain, Li Dawei went around and returned to the mouth of the cave, and found that it was already full of people, mixed with the sound of clanging and beating.

The effort has paid off, a group of people who know how to repay their kindness.

Li Dawei separated the crowd and walked in, and saw Hu San and the scholar directing everyone to work inside. The rescue efficiency is too low, and it will be a white spot if you smash it hard. Li Dawei came behind the two of them and said, "This is too slow, it is better to burn it with fire first, and then pour cold water, it can be much faster." ”

When the scholar heard this, he turned around and hugged his fists: "Yes, I have seen this method in books, thank you brother Tai for reminding me." ”

Hu San also looked back, then looked back at the boulder that sealed the entrance of the cave, and then looked at Li Dawei, a little confused, "You... How did you get out? ”

Only then did the scholar react and hurriedly said: "Oh, it turns out that the hero has been out of trouble!" ”

Li Dawei clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you two for trying to rescue." ”

Hu Sanxi immediately shouted: "Everyone, stop, the good man has come out!" ”

Hearing the movement, everyone stopped what they were doing, looked at Li Dawei in a daze, didn't know who started the head, knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

Fall to your knees.

Li Dawei helped the nearest one up with both hands and said, "Everyone get up!" Thank you very much. ”

Everyone got up and looked at Li Dawei with blank eyes, and Hu San and the scholar also looked at him.

Li Dawei hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your rescue." Now the thieves have been basically cut off, but in order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, everyone should go back to the big cave to rest together, and I will protect everyone. ”

After thinking about it, Li Dawei continued: "Well, I believe that everyone may not eat well for a while, if you are not afraid of hard work, just make some more, and don't eat to hold on." It's dark now, and the road is not easy to walk. Tomorrow morning, if there is anything to leave, everyone can pack up their things and leave. ”

"Thank you for saving your life."

"We're also homeless now"

"My things have been robbed by this group of bandits, and it's useless to go back."

...

Li Dawei stretched out his hand again and pressed it and said, "If you don't have a place to go, you can follow me." ”

The scholar clenched his fists: "I don't know where the good man is living now." ”

"My name is Li Dawei, everyone can call me by my name. This 'good man' calls me as if I am also a thief. Li Da replied: "I haven't said much, everyone finally escaped death, don't just get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den." You can go to my place first, and if you think you can, you can stay, I will not force it. ”

"Uh, Brother Li..."The scholar is really not good at what to call him

"If you don't mind, call me Brother Dawei!"

Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Dawei is chivalrous and righteous, broad-minded, and Mi Zhidao admires!" ”

"Hehe, it's too much. But Brother Mi's surname is really rare," Li Dawei turned his head to look at everyone, "Everyone go back to the cave to rest now, to be honest, I'm hungry too!" ”

There was a commotion below, shouting: "How can you let a hero... Uh, Brother David is hungry, go for a walk, go cook. ”

Add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the feast. It stands to reason that everyone thinks that Li Dawei has ownership of everything in the cottage.

The cave is as lively as the New Year, and you can finally have a full meal.

Li Dawei called all the city defenses back and was guarded by Xiao San. Everyone was very excited to see Li Dawei get out of trouble safely.

Ma Chaofeng struggled and hugged his fists and said, "King, I am not qualified to go to the racecourse, so I don't know the situation." Now that the king is in danger, Ma Chaofeng is willing to be disposed of. ”

"Hehe, I'm not going to be angry with you. Let's take a break, eat something, and have something to arrange later. ”

When it comes to eating, the 'Big Bear' has never been modest, and when he used to be hungry and scared, he had to fill his stomach when he had the chance. These rescued people really have something to hold on, but they have no choice but to spit it out again, otherwise they will be strung to death.

Hu San and the scholars obeyed Li Dawei's arrangement, settled everyone down, and dealt with this night first.

Li Dawei sat still, his left hand pursed his upper lip in contemplation, reflecting on his behavior this time, reflecting on the details inside, and summarizing the gains and losses. It's a leftover habit.

Disabled and strong, this is Ma Chaofeng. The penetrating wounds of that arrow were real, these were skin injuries, and it was normal for Li Dawei to be in danger and feel worried. This lord is ruthless in killing people, but now he seems to be very generous, and he will not take a fancy to his 'appearance'. My skin is still quite white.

Ma Chaofeng's thoughts were still wandering, and Li Dawei's voice came: "Ma Chaofeng, can your body still hold on?" ”

“... No problem, the king has a request, and he will grant it! Ma Chaofeng struggled to sit up.

Looking at Ma Chaofeng gritting his teeth, Li Dawei said in a soothing tone, "You just lie down!" ”

And so it was!

Ma Chaofeng made up his mind and said, "... All right! Please have mercy on the King."

"Why are you so miserable, I said that I won't hold you responsible" Li Dawei wondered, and didn't think much about it: "You tell me about your city lord again, and tell me everything you know and hearsay." ”

"Oh, that's what the king asked..."Ma Chaofeng let out a sigh: "The current city lord is called Sima Wudao..."

Li Dawei listened very carefully, and only now can he figure it out. The city lord of "Linfang" was originally "Huan Qinghe", who was modest, and was clear and clear, and the development of "Linfang" was very good, far exceeding Yicheng, Zhonglu, Ye, Shandu, and Shanghuang, and its wealth was close to Xiangyang.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances. About 3 years ago, Huan Qinghe died suddenly, and Sima Wudao took the throne, before which Sima Wudao was just a general. There is also hearsay that Sima Wudao assassinated Huan Qinghe and purged a large number of people after taking the throne.

Li Dawei nodded, sure enough. Then he asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Ma Chaofeng thought for a while and said, "I haven't been in the racecourse. But I know there are horses here, and there are

Cattle. The place here is not particularly large, and there should not be a lot. However, there are also people who take care of the cattle and horses. ”

Identity and status determine the level of information. Ma Chaofeng said everything he knew and heard, and his spirit withered a lot.

"How do you know that the bandit leader has a secret weapon?"

"I'm not sure, but he has a nickname called 'Inside the Sleeve'. Seeing that he had his hand on the king, he just felt that something was wrong. ”

Li Dawei nodded, but it was a pity that the sleeve arrow was smashed by the big bear in anger. Gently patted Ma Chaofeng's shoulder and said, "If you want, you can follow me." ”

"Thank you, King!" Ma Chaofeng ignored the pain, struggled to get up and knelt down and kowtowed.

The black light was blind, Li Dawei no longer searched, arranged to be on duty, and everyone slept well.

The dawn is early, and some people wake up earlier.

Some of these looted people still have families or places to flee. As soon as I opened my eyes, my heart fluctuated a little.

Only when you have eaten enough can you have the strength to walk. Hu San got up in the middle of the night and arranged for someone to make breakfast, and prepared three days' worth of food for everyone who was leaving.

There are also seventy or eighty people, real unemployed refugees, looking at Li Dawei with blank eyes.

Li Dawei looked at Hu San and scholar Mi Zhidao and asked, "You two don't have anywhere to go?" ”

Mi Zhidao replied: "Brother Dawei, I went to Xiangyang City to pick up people, but I never thought that I would be robbed by thieves for more than half a year. It's long past the appointment, and I don't want to come where I am. Now penniless, I am willing to attach a ponytail and hope to accept it. ”

Li Dawei clenched his fists: "Welcome Brother Mi, I can't ask for it!" Then he looked at Hu San.

Hu Sanbitter replied: "My family is in the 'Shanghuang' area, my family has a wife and children, usually do some small business, barely survive, now all the goods have been robbed by the bandits, at present it is difficult to protect myself, I can't go back, I can't go back, I can't explain when I go back." The Dawei brothers are righteous and want to follow the Dawei brothers with a cheeky face. ”

Li Dawei nodded, then looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I can give you three days' rations if you want to leave." If you want to follow me, you can, but I have some rules to follow, and if I can do it, I can make sure that people don't go hungry. Everyone think about it, and I will not force it. ”

Mi Zhidao and Hu San knelt down first, and then knelt down in an uproar, "I am willing to follow the king!" ”

Li Dawei's face darkened, "Uh, let's get up." Is there any misunderstanding between you? I'm really not a bandit! ”
