Chapter 52: The Burning of Windmill Village
Twenty minutes later, Jodel came running, and judging by his gait, he felt drunk, and he ran up to the chief of the guard and said, "Uh, captain, we found ten barrels of fine alcohol, and five barrels of fish oil mixed with fifteen barrels of lamp oil, uh!"
Hehe, we also found two barrels of good vodka that Lord Miller had in his private possession, don't worry, I didn't drink much, just a little, just a little, and then we used this vodka and a barrel of fish oil for three barrels of lamp oil, hehehe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Looking at the yodel who was a little staggered, the chief guard shook his head, this guy's eyesight is extraordinary, but it is good wine, the problem is that he is good at wine but does not miss things, don't look at his feet staggering at this time, as soon as he holds the crossbow machine, his hands are more stable than when he is not drinking.
The chief guard entered the lord's mansion, and when he saw Lord Miller, he said, "Lord, we have exchanged eighteen barrels of lamp oil, and there is one barrel of fish oil left, do you want to exchange it too?"
Lord Miller was about to say yes, and then, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at the mill windmill behind his lord's house, which his ancestors had built when they settled in the windmill, and whose family had been repairing and maintaining it for hundreds of years, and which was still in working order.
The name of the windmill village is also because of this windmill, and at this time there are dozens of bags of freshly ground flour in the mill under the windmill.
Miller said to the chief guard: "No need to redeem it, transport the barrel of fish oil to the mill, I don't think we will be spared in the next attack, we still have a lot of food in our village, let everyone divide the two barrels of lamp oil, and save a little from each household, and at the end of the day, we will burn all the food, and we will not leave a grain of food for the rebels." ”
"Yes, your will!" said the chief of the guard, and turned to order the fish oil to be carried in his hand, and the lamp oil was distributed.
After about an hour, the well-fed rebels gathered in a hurry, and this time it seemed that Don Quixote was in earnest, and he had gathered 300 men on each side of the village, and 50 armoured men on the east.
At the urging of a bull's horn, all sides launched an attack at the same time. The chief of the guard and Lord Miller stood by the eastern fence and looked out, and saw 50 armored men lined up and advancing neatly towards the fence, behind them 300 chaotic peasants.
The chief guard frowned and said to Lord Miller, "My lord, I'm afraid we're going to go together. ”
Miller laughed heartily and said, "Ha~, with you as a companion, I'm not lonely!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the guard asked loudly, "Yodel, how many crossbow arrows are left?"
"There are still 40 left. Joddell made a brief count and reported it aloud to the guard.
"Okay, you and Rist are half on the same hand, and everyone else is on the fence to defend. The chief of the guard stared at the ironclad warriors who were pouring in like a tidal wave.
"Obey my orders, all the armor soldiers are gathered to the east, and all the people are strong to defend the other three sides, and the time has come for a decisive battle. Have you filled the oil in the Ark water hose!" the chief guard paused and ordered loudly.
All the armorers in heavy armor gathered in front of the east fence, and Ark replied as he ran towards the east fence, "It's been filled, and you can spray it temporarily!"
"Okay, your kirik is responsible for one each, and each water dragon will be equipped with three people for you, and I will hide the water dragon for me, I want the water dragon to be pushed out at any time, and it can be sprayed when it is pushed out. ”
Ark and Kirik immediately stopped, turned and ran back, pointing to Minzhuang who passed by them as they ran, and said, "You, you and you, come with me." ”
Seeing that everyone was in place, the chief guard immediately drew the long sword at his waist, pointed the sword at the blue sky, and shouted: "The windmill village belongs, today is our most glorious moment, we will live up to the name of warriors, we will use our blood here to write a chapter of warriors for our descendants, we will live and die with the windmills!"
As soon as the Chief Guard's words fell, cheers rang out from all over the village, and after the cheers fell, Lord Miller's voice came: "I thank you for your contribution to Windmill Village, for me, and for all the fathers and villagers, and if I can get out alive today, I, Baron Miller, promise that you are all my brothers with different surnames." ”
Lord Miller paused and continued: "If we all die here today, everyone listen, whoever goes first, all wait, all remember, we are brothers, we will also walk the road to heaven together!"
All the soldiers and people shouted loudly: "We are all brothers, no matter whether we live or die, we all go together!"
When the soldiers of Windmill Village were making the final mobilization, the Romanian rebels also stepped on the starting line of the attack, they trembled and you pushed me, I pushed you, no one wanted to rush to the front, except for the ironclad warriors in the east, the other three sides were not fast.
This made Don Quixote very dissatisfied, and he said to Sancho: "Go and give the order to the other three sides to speed up!"
Sancho bowed to Don Quixote as a plebeian to the nobles, and ran to the trumpeter to give the order, and soon the low whimper of the horn sounded.
The trumpets were heard from the west, north, and south, and they had to speed up the pace of the attack, and the closer they got to the windmill village, the clearer the cheers of the windmill village became, and the morale of the already low morale was even lower.
Oderick, the commander of the 300 peasants to the south, pushed a shrunken little warrior to the first, and he whispered in the little warrior's ear: "As long as you are the first to rush forward, I will go and intercede with the big chief, so that your sister will stop doing that shitty job, and let her find a good man to marry!"
The little warrior turned to look at Odrik and said, "Really?"
Odrik held out three fingers and swore to the sky, "I promise!"
The little soldier touched a handful of uncontrollable tears, raised his waist knife and said, "Okay, I will take the lead in the charge, captain, you must do what you say!"
"Don't worry!" Oderick said nicely, but in his heart he thought, hmph, get my sister out, get her out, who else am I going to play? The little soldier's sister is the most clever one in the brothel, so he went to play once, and he still can't forget it.
The little warrior rushed to the fence with a howl in tears, and as long as someone took the lead, the others would blindly follow, and this was the peasant, and those who followed the little warrior, after being startled by the little warrior's actions, all rushed forward with a strange scream.
Odric smiled contemptuously, what a bunch of stupid people, just made up an impossible reason, and deceived them to death.
The expected rain of arrows did not come down, they rushed to the edge of the fence and none of the arrows came down, Oderick saw that he had rushed to the fence, a kind of ecstasy filled his chest, the people of the windmill village had no arrows, this is a great opportunity, the opportunity to make meritorious service has come.
He shouted: "Brothers, those noble lackeys have no arrows, everyone rush, as long as we knock down the fence, the women, wine and food in the village will be ours!"
A group of people around him were infected by his words, they rushed up with a scream, the front row had already rushed to the fence, no one in the fence came out to attack them, they used the knives in their hands to cut the fence desperately, and the people behind pushed them hard, squeezing them on the fence, intending to use human strength to knock the fence down.
Suddenly, a shout came from inside the fence: "Thorn!" Two rows of spears were poked out of the small holes in the fence and between the fences, and more than a dozen people on the fence were killed in the sugar gourds.
The popping sound of the tip of the gun piercing the flesh kept sounding, and the corpses fell on the edge of the fence, which did not make these peasants have any thoughts at first, but there were constantly people wailing and screaming, this sound kept ringing in their ears, and these peasants slowly calmed down, they did not push the people in front of them to destroy the fence, but took a few steps back, and first saw the movement behind the fence.
They saw that there were only about ten people on the opposite side, and they were dressed similarly to themselves, but the spirit, spirit, and spirit were not the same, and Odrik saw that the peasants in front of them were timid.
He looked at the men with spears in their hands, and the spears were five or six feet long, and even if the spears were pierced, the peasants with only swords and hoes in their hands would not be able to touch them, and he looked at the fence with his head sharpened, and cried out, "Wrap the rope around the fence and pull it down for me." ”
The peasants immediately untied the thick hemp rope they were carrying, tied a knot with the end of the rope, and several loops flew to the fence, and the loops were immediately tightened, and the peasants began to pull the fence like a tug-of-war.
As the peasants pulled the fence, none of them noticed that a crossbow arrow had pierced Oderick's throat.
Yodel had long been aware of the southern commander, but the fellow had cherished his own life and hid behind the soldiers until the ropes were hung on the fence and a large number of peasants went to pull the fence, and his figure was finally revealed.
The people who were waiting for the guns suddenly saw the enemy retreating, and they were a little happy, but immediately saw a few ropes on the fence, and then the fence was pulled and shaken, these people couldn't stand still, they drew their waist knives and threw themselves on the edge of the fence, and cut the ropes on the fence with a few knives.
A leader in the crowd saw Minzhuang pounce on him, and immediately shouted, and several peasant soldiers and the leader also jumped on the fence, just now these Minzhuang should have held long spears, and they couldn't hit them, but now these Minzhuang are on the fence, they will not give up this opportunity, and they also rushed up.
You knife on both sides, I knife to the flesh, after all, the people are few people, and they can't support it immediately, they have no choice but to retreat, but two have died and four have been injured.
The battles on all four sides were much the same, except for the east, which was still deadlocked, on the other sides, the people were forced to retreat, and after the yodels shot more than 10 officers and 20 minions, they ran out of crossbow arrows.
The chief of the guard immediately ordered: "All personnel leave the fence, Ark, Kirik, push the water dragon out." ”
Everyone left the fence and retreated into the houses, while Ark and Kirik pushed the hose into the middle of the village and began spraying lamp oil around the fence.
