These thieves were still a dozen steps away from Li Yan's military formation before they were discovered by the border soldiers on the flank.

Zhao Datong picked up a few flaming wooden sticks and threw them at them, and the light of the fire illuminated the thieves. Qian Er also had another side soldier, one with a bow and the other with a crossbow, and shot down the two thieves in an instant.

Qian Er shot another arrow quickly, and the crossbowman hid behind the sword and shield bearer at this time, bent down to wind, and then loaded the crossbow arrow. But by the time he had done this, the thieves who had tried to approach had fled.

"Left front, salvo!" Huang Desheng and the crossbowmen in the formation were not affected, and continued to move forward steadily, firing crossbow arrows at the thieves who had gathered, dispersing the thieves and allowing them to run wildly.

At this time, six or seven more people gathered around him, but after witnessing the strength of the enemy, he gave up. He didn't dare to get together with the brigade anymore, leaving only two old brothers, and he sent them away.

"Big brother, what should I do?" A brother asked.

"Why don't we kill them! Killing one is enough to make one, killing two to earn one. Another suggestion.

'Shi Qian' briefly ordered: "Go!" Go back to Tongxu and find the big boss (a dragon). ”

"Big brother, there are so many brothers, just ignore them?" One of his subordinates asked disapprovingly.

Shi Qian lowered his head and paused for a moment, and then said with red eyes: "You have also seen, now we can't gather people at all, and the archers don't know where to run." We can only go now, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood. As for these brothers, when we have a chance, we will come to avenge them. ”

After saying that, he got up and left, and his two men had to follow. There were only three of them, and they were fleeing in the direction away from Li Yan's army formation, so naturally they would not be noticed.

Smart people don't just have 'time' for them, in fact, there are many thieves who have already begun to do this. Some fled to Tongxu, some fled in the direction of the county seat, and some had no purpose, just leave this chaotic killing field first.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a cry of pain came from Li Yan's military formation. A pikeman was shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground.

After Li Yan saw it, he ordered loudly: "Find him!" ”

Li Mou, Qian Er, and almost all the crossbowmen began to look for this sneak attacker. But after a while, the archers who attacked them did not reappear.

Li Yan had no choice but to let Min Zhuang first help the wounded pikeman to follow behind, and let a border soldier take over the position vacated by the pikeman.

In a corner, Lin Chenghai is the one who is unwilling to pay rent to Li Yan. He set up his home in an abandoned courtyard here, opened more than 20 acres of land, and cultivated it with his wife and father. He has a lot of gold and silver in his hands, all of which he took out when he came out of Qili Village, so he can support it until now.

However, when the thieves came, they seized his house, and incorporated him into the ranks of the thieves, and arranged for his family to be in the family camp. Fortunately, during the trench filling operation in the afternoon, the family was lucky that no one was injured and no one was killed.

Now, Lin Chenghai took advantage of the chaos, took a knife, and went to the family camp. There was also a commotion, and everyone didn't know what to do. At this time, some thieves came in and looked for their families in a panic, and due to the chaos of order, they began to push away in a rage in front of their old and weak, and even began to kill.

Lin Chenghai finally found his family in the crowd, there was a fire burning outside, it was no longer safe here, and he wanted to take his family outside. But in front of him, a thief slashed at him, accompanied by "Get out of the way!" "Shouting and swearing.

He raised his knife in a gear, and then kicked his right foot and knocked down this crazy thief like him. He then took his family to a cellar where their grain, gold and silver were hidden.

After hiding his family, Lin Chenghai went out again. He crawled in the darkness searching, rummaging through the bodies of the dead and wounded thieves for their belongings. Now that the price of grain has risen so much that if you don't have enough money, you can't buy food. And he was also looking for food for the thieves, and he believed that in such a chaotic situation, the thieves would not be able to take care of the food.

Finally, after continuous exploration and searching, Lin Chenghai finally found the location of the thief's granary. There was no fire here, and there was only one thief guarding the house. And the thief was still looking out anxiously, not knowing whether to hold on or run away.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, run!" Lin Chenghai ran over in a panic and shouted to the thief guarding the granary.

The thief looked around and said, "Is the leader of 'Shi Qian' and the leader of Yang really dead?" Did Leader Cai really escape? ”

Lin Chenghai nodded and said, "Isn't it?" Don't you see that the brothers are in chaos? If you don't run, forget it, I'm going to run for my life. After saying that, he really ran away.

The thief, who was guarding the grain, did not dare to stay any longer, but took out a piece of burning wood from the fire and threw it into the granary, and fled to the east. There is still a large army besieging the county town in the east, so it will be safe there.

Lin Chenghai, who was hiding in the corner of the wall, waited for the thief to run away, and immediately jumped into the granary. He saw that a fire was already burning in the grain, so he hurried to put out the fire. Hit with the clothes you took off, and the effect is not very good. So he struggled to drag out the already burning grain bales to minimize the damage.

He looked at the room full of grain, sat on the floor and smiled from ear to ear. These are all his, and he will not only be able to survive the disaster year for his family, but he will also be able to open up a few more acres of wasteland, and it won't be long before he becomes a small landowner. But he didn't notice that the chaos in the camp seemed to be much less, and that there was a group of people coming here.

"Found it!" Qian Er came in to take a look, and shouted outside, ignoring Lin Chenghai who was sitting on the ground and smirking.

Li Yan and the others came in, looked at the food in the room, nodded and said, "Well, go back and call someone to bring the grain back." ”

"This is mine!" Lin Chenghai stood up suddenly, ran to the door of the granary, stretched out his hand to block the door, and yelled.

Li Yan and many other people recognized this thorn, and Li Mu forced Lin Chenghai with a knife.

Lin Chenghai was a little frightened and shouted: "I saved these grains!" If it weren't for me, this grain would have turned to ashes! ”

Li Yan looked at the two grain packets that were still burning and said, "You can take away two packs of grain." ”

"Only two packs? There's so much food here! You're too domineering! Lin Chenghai roared angrily.

"If you don't want it, I won't give you a single one." Li Yan said lightly.

Lin Chenghai stared at Li Yan and them for a while, and finally left with a bag of grain in each of his hands with a snort.

Li Mu looked at Lin Chenghai's back, shook his head and said regretfully: "A big man, it's a pity!" ”
