Just after Pei Qing left with the large army, Yin Qiao was not idle, he immediately ordered all the men, women and children in the cottage to start making scarecrows, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to take out all the straw that they laid under him when they slept.

In order to have a greater effect, Yin Qiao decided to demonstrate in person, first get out all the straw he laid when he slept, and make the straw man himself.

In this case, the ten soldiers assigned to Yin Qiao also did the same without complaint, so that the opposition was weakened, and many people had no choice but to follow Yin Qiao to make straw men.

"Originally, we could have a good night's sleep when we didn't change the boss, but now, we can't even sleep well." Some people were very dissatisfied in their hearts, and said bitterly.

Yin Qiao also knew that everyone was dissatisfied, but he did not hesitate at all, and at the same time loudly persuaded everyone: "Don't worry, the big boss will come back tomorrow at most, and he will definitely bring us a lot of food and materials at that time, and we will be able to live a good life at that time, but before that, we need to survive first, and we are now going to ensure that everyone can live." ”

"Huh, life? We're all freezing to death now, how can we survive? A gray-haired old man shivered with cold and said tremblingly.

"So I gathered everyone into the hall, let's all huddle together to keep warm, in order to resist the cold, Aunt Wu, I know our life is not easy, but this is better than being killed by bandits, our cottage is now empty, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no young people to take the opportunity to attack, for the sake of safety, we must be prepared."

Yin Qiao knows this old man, because this old man is the same villager as him, his surname is Xie, the specific name is not clear, his son is also a small minion in the cottage, called Xie Bogao, it seems to be a distant branch of a small local family Xie, but he is also excluded, and the family is poor, so the father and son went to Wolong Mountain with the big boss and fell into the grass.

However, this old man seems to have read for a few days and can recognize a few words, so he is respected by the big boss Zhou Cang as the bookkeeper and called him "Mr".

"But what does this have to do with the straw man? Will the straw men be able to keep us safe? The old man surnamed Xie said loudly.

"Of course it matters, this is the secret plan left by the big boss, as long as the foreign enemy invades, it will definitely be able to make them retreat without a fight." Yin Qiao's words were loud and clear, and he spoke very confidently.

"Hmph, let's see, if there is really a foreign enemy, will you be the first to escape?" The old man surnamed Xie looked at Yin Qiao and said coldly.

Yin Qiao stopped talking, he knew that he was just a gangster before, although he was temporarily appointed and became the temporary leader of the cottage, but few people trusted him at all, even if he guaranteed it, it was useless.

However, Yin Qiao's heart is very hot, he knows that at the critical moment, only by taking real actions can everyone recognize himself, this is just like when he was a straw man before, he first took out the straw he used to rest, which blocked everyone's mouths.

"This is a test for me by the big boss, for everyone's safety, and of course for my own future, I must complete this test, no matter what the cost." Yin Qiao secretly made up his mind, and at the same time cheered for himself, he couldn't give up no matter what.

Facts have proved that Yin Qiao's preparation was not in vain, because early the next morning, he only heard the sound of shouting and killing suddenly from the bottom of the mountain.

When everyone in the cottage heard the shouting of killing, their faces changed greatly, especially the old men who had expressed their dissatisfaction with Yin Qiao's straw man before, and they were even more worried.

However, among them, the old man surnamed Xie still did not believe that the grass man could resist the invasion of foreign enemies, although he did not have many books, but he also claimed to be well-informed, but he had never heard of such a thing.

"It seems that this kid is busy working around, in the end it is empty, I Xie Yizhen is also a rough text, originally gave up the family business to go up the mountain, although it is for a living, but also want to make a little contribution in it, I see that this big boss has a peculiar face, and he will be able to become a noble person in the future, as long as he pulls me at that time, I will be able to settle down, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation today, looking at so many people under the mountain, and my cottage is so empty, this battle may be my death, I only hope that my son Bo Gao will be able to build up a career in the future, and let the snobbish people in the family know that there is my father and son. ”

Xie Yizhen sighed secretly, and she was ready for the worst in her heart.

However, at this time, I saw Yin Qiao say: "The final truth is time to be revealed, all of you don't come out, I only take ten brothers to meet the enemy, and it only takes half an hour at most to force the enemy to retreat." ”

Then Pu Yinqiao led the ten people out of the hall together, came to the door of the cottage, opened the door, and then walked out of the cottage together.

Outside the cottage is a group of more than 300 defeated soldiers, originally belonged to the Yuzhou assassin Sun Jian, but because Sun Jian was shot to death by Huang Zu in Da Xian Mountain, his team collapsed, most of them defected to Yuan Shu, and these more than 300 people because of the rain and snow weather, returned to the team late, was disgusted by Yuan Shu, did not take in, but led the army to attack, they took a lot of effort to escape, had to form a team to wander around, happened to come to a place not far from Woniu Mountain.

In fact, although the combat effectiveness of this army is not weak, but after all, there are few people, so they don't dare to provoke such a huge force as Woniu Mountain in peacetime, but they saw more than 3,000 people pouring out of Woniu Mountain before, and they didn't return overnight, so they moved the mind to rob, anyway, they are also wandering to commit crimes, and they will leave directly after grabbing a vote, so they will not scruple about being retaliated against by Woniu Mountain in the future.

The leader of this army is a personal soldier of Sun Jian, named Deng Dang, although this person is a personal soldier, but after hearing and seeing by Sun Jian's side, he is not only brave in battle, but also very smart, and it is precisely because of his qualifications and ability that he was elected as the leader by everyone.

But even Deng Dang was very smart, when he saw that after the door of the other party's village was opened, only eleven people came out of the cottage, he couldn't help but be surprised, because he had been fighting for so many years and had never seen such a scene.

And just when he was suspicious, he saw the leader on the opposite side say with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came, our cottage is now empty in strength, and there is no power to defend at all, you look at the guards of the cottage, they are all replaced by straw men, hurry up and come over and kill more than a dozen of us, this cottage is yours." ”

However, Deng Dang is hesitant now, if the other party is strictly guarded, this is enough to prove that the cottage is indeed empty, because the attack of three hundred people has to try their best to defend it, which obviously proves that the cottage is empty, but now that the other party says this, it makes Deng consciously think that this should be the other party's trick.

"Could it be that this cottage has already surrendered to Yuan Shu, and they put on this posture just to trick us into entering the cottage, and then capture all of us alive, and then sacrifice it to Yuan Shu in order to be rewarded for meritorious service? But your acting is really too clumsy, isn't it? actually used the straw man to cover the main force behind him, how could I, Deng Dang, be fooled like this? ”

So Deng Dang said with a gloomy face: "You don't have to act here, do you think that we don't know that you have actually been bought by Yuan Shu?" Hmph, we'll have a meeting later. ”

After finishing speaking, Deng Dang immediately waved his hand and led the more than 300 people to turn around and leave.

And at this moment, I saw that the cottage was crowded with people, and the footsteps were chaotic, and when I saw this scene, I confirmed the judgment in my heart, and immediately conveyed the order loudly, and everyone immediately marched with all their might, and those who dared to hesitate for a moment were immediately killed.
