Chapter 108: Start Attacking
"It seems that these 100 households are quite rich! Such a nice place to stay. ”
The manor where Li Baihu lives is just average in the eyes of the rich, but he is afraid of comparison of everything, Zijian just came from the guard, and saw that the guard was in tatters, and the military household was even more impersonal, and then looked at the place where Li Baihu lived, and the comparison came out.
Zijian: "Fence this up, don't let that guy run away, Li Hu, take three hundred recruits to block the back door." ”
The main gate is generally a place where the battle is fierce, there are fifty veterans, and those who escape from the back door are all some uncourageous ghosts, Li Hu has hundreds of people blocking the door, and he doesn't believe that anyone dares to run out. Although the newcomers don't have any combat effectiveness, the neat team can scare those people even with a momentum.
According to the standards of this era, such a neat team is a strong army, and just those dozens of family members, it is not Zijian who looks down on them, they also bully civilians who dare not resist.
Another panicked family member came in, his face full of panic, "My lord, it's not good, those people have fenced this place, and there are thieves outside, you have to think of a way!" ”
When Li Baihu heard this, he sat down on the chair as if he had been struck by lightning, and he had no strength to scold the military household just now, and the house was already in chaos, and those female dependents were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they packed their luggage in a panic.
It's a pity that it's useless to run now, the two gates are blocked by the volunteers, if you want to go, just kill the volunteers, and you can go to Zhangjia Village to take Zijian's more than 300,000 silver for yourself, but unfortunately, Li Baihu doesn't have this ability.
Li Baihu: "Butler, you go out to talk to them, if you persuade those people to leave, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver." Li Baihu instructed the housekeeper to let him go and find out, if he could leave safely, even if he lost the money, he would accept his fate.
The housekeeper had a bitter face, Li Baihu's promise was very tempting, and he was scared to death, but the head of the house spoke, if he didn't go, maybe Li Baihu would cut him down now, so he could only do it hard.
Waiting for the volunteers to come and report, saying that the spear was already facing the back door, as long as someone came out, it was guaranteed to be able to block it for a while, if it really couldn't be beaten, Li Hu delayed for a while, and waited for Zijian to solve anything in the past.
Zijian was about to give the order to attack, but the closed door opened a crack, and after one person came out, it was closed again.
The person who came out waved his hand again and again, indicating that he had no malicious intent, and when he saw that the people outside had no intention of making a move, his body trembled and stepped forward.
At this time, the housekeeper's heart was furious, what kind of people are these, so much murderous, and standing so neatly, not to mention anything else, the momentum alone made the housekeeper regret coming out, but the door was closed, and there was no way back, so he could only run forward quickly, kneeling in front of Zijian with "poof", because he looked like a leader, "The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, and the little one is ordered by the head of the family to come out to ask the hero about his intentions." ”
The butler's body on the ground trembled even more, because he felt that one after another murderous aura looked at him without any scruples, if there was any abnormal movement, he would definitely die a miserable death, and being stared at by so many murderous aura, his body shook involuntarily.
The source of murder is more than 50 volunteers behind Zijian, they look at the housekeeper, they see it as a tael of silver, they very much hope that the housekeeper is a kind of person, relative to the chief, so that they can justifiably kill the housekeeper, maybe they can be appreciated by the chief, so they look at the housekeeper like a fierce wolf.
The spear in his hand is even more imminent, and the promotion of the volunteer army requires military merit, and the housekeeper is a military merit.
Zijian said casually, "It's nothing, I heard that Li Baihu has a few beautiful concubines, and I want to take them back as concubines, why is there a problem!" ”
The housekeeper knelt on the ground and lowered his head, scolding in his heart, he fell in love with the master's concubine, so he came to the door to rob him, and there was no royal law!
Zijian didn't care what he thought, and said, "I heard that there is also a lot of money from Li Baihu, so I will use it by the way." ”
The housekeeper couldn't say anything, anyway, he was just a small role, and he used to pass the words, and it had nothing to do with him, but then the housekeeper froze.
Zijian: "That's right, I'm going to open a mine, but I'm short of a lot of manpower, so you'll all come and mine for me when the time comes!" Well, that's all there is to it, if you don't come out in a quarter of an hour, I'll go in, get out! ”
With this kind of little minion, Zijian disdains it, anyway, he gave the conditions, if he is not interested, the volunteers will die when the time comes.
If there is a knife in his hand, the butler remembers it and kills the thief leader in front of him with a single sword.
He is really calculating, first looking at hundreds of women, silver, and finally arresting people to mine, is there such a bully!
Hearing that the thief leader told him to get out, the butler got up, I don't know if he was scared or angry, anyway, his body was trembling and leaving.
"Bang bang."
The housekeeper was so frightened that he crawled to the door, banged on the door desperately, and the gaze behind him was like a knife, which made him feel cold, and someone saw on the wall that only the housekeeper was alone, so he opened a crack in the door, and the housekeeper hurriedly squeezed in, and then the door closed again.
Zijian looked funny in the back, and he didn't have to look like this, didn't this blow his own morale, if the strength of the two armies was about the same, and he was messed with by the housekeeper like this, the morale of the other party would drop by at least two percent.
In ancient wars, morale was very important, and when morale came up, dozens of people would engage in thousands of deserters, and if these thousands of people worked together, would they not be able to defeat those dozens of people! This is the effect of morale, and an army without morale is a burden in numbers.
The housekeeper leaned against the door with a cold back, and he almost thought that he couldn't come back just now, but those people only gave a quarter of an hour, and the housekeeper didn't dare to delay, returned to the living room, and reported to Li Baihu about the conditions of the thief, of course, the arrogant tone of the other party The housekeeper didn't dare to show it, and tried to be as tactful as possible.
But even if the housekeeper said it tactfully, the core condition remains the same, and his woman is snatched away. Silver, snatched. In the end, everyone has to be arrested and mined.
The corners of Li Baihu's mouth trembled, and he felt very aggrieved, yes, it was aggrieved, he was a dignified court hundred, and he was actually threatened by thieves, is there still heavenly reason, Li Baihu can't wait to incarnate as a god, and use the spell of moving mountains and reclamation to slap the thieves outside to death, but unfortunately Li Baihu's wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Half an hour has passed, and there is not much time for him to think about it, what to consider, Li Baihu will not agree to such a condition from the other party at all, this is a condition that is cheaper than selling his body, who will agree.
The housekeeper saw that Li Baihu was angry, and asked cautiously, "Master, what should I do then?" Give me an idea. ”
Li Baihu knew that it was impossible for the other party to let him go, so he ordered, "Everyone take their weapons, kill the enemy with a reward of fifty taels, and show your usual majesty, the other party really dares to come in, kill me out." ”
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit would bite when he was in a hurry, Zijian had no room for demand, forcing Li Baihu into a corner.
Everyone heard that the requirements of the thieves outside, they all exploded, that is, they surrendered, and they also had to be arrested to mine, the mortality rate of mining in this era was very high, which was equivalent to a life taken in, and the morale of the family was pulled up a little, no one wanted to mine, and they were used to robbing, playing freely, and they wanted to be caught to mine, arousing their common hatred, and seeing each other's ability.
Ten volunteers, carrying a log with a diameter of 30 centimeters, walked towards the gate together, where did the log come from, uh, this one was picked up on the side of the road, as for why there is a log on the side of the road, who knows?
The housekeepers on the wall were in a hurry and wanted to bend their bows and shoot arrows, but unfortunately there were no archers among them, otherwise the other party would have fled for their lives after a few rounds of bows and arrows.
"Hey-ha!"
"Bang!"
"Hey-ha!"
"Bang!"
Ten people of the volunteers, shouting slogans, slammed the door hard, making a banging sound, there were more than 20 people behind the door, but the rolling wood hugged by the volunteers, the coolies produced, how could it be held by manpower, and the gate showed signs of loosening, which made Li Baihu's family anxious, but they could only watch.
The tremendous force generated by the rolling wood reached the hands of the family members through the gate, and their hands were numb and almost unconscious. Now the private soldiers in front of the door can't retreat if they want to, because there are more than a dozen families in the back who treat them as meat shields and face the gate.
