Qingfeng Village is located on the top of a mountain, which looks like a castle in the sky on a cliff. But the rare place is here, and there is living water on the top of the mountain.

The council hall is a single-family wooden house, similar to the foot building of Dali in the southwest, and the owner of the village, Zhao Scarzi, is arguing with several owners of the joint army.

"The women in the village, I have to be in Sanwang Village, and the brothers under Lao Tzu haven't opened meat for a long time!" Sanwangzhai is located in the west of Mingyue Village fifty miles, nearly 1,000 people, the three brothers of the Wang family are in charge.

To the north of Mingyue Village, there is a Black Tiger Village located in a dangerous place, which is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. The big boss hurriedly said: "The practice of cold-proof clothing and down jackets, I must get it in Black Tiger Village."

Spit stars splash. Half a day later, the parties finally reached an agreement on the distribution of benefits.

Zhao Scar remained silent, thinking that as long as he killed Lao Huang's idiot afterwards, and then used the resources of Mingyue Village to control these villages, then he would be a hero!

"Tomorrow evening, five hundred troops. Stepping on the bright moon village, robbing and killing! Zhao Scar cheered up these thugs, as if victory was at hand.

"Stepping on the cottage, robbing and killing!" This is the voice of the big boss of Sanwangzhai.

"Stepping on the cottage, robbing and killing!" This is the voice of the big boss of the Black Tiger Village.

……

The bright moon village of the Shangyuan Festival is not lively at all. The economic conditions are not very good, how can you celebrate the festival every time, and more importantly, the soldiers have action at night.

In ancient times, night marches were dangerous. The key is that the nutritional status of the army is not good, which leads to serious night blindness.

But these are not a problem for Liu Chengdong's troops, the way out of the mountain can be walked with his eyes closed, and he can ensure that he will not get lost with a torch. In addition, the economy of Mingyue Village gradually improved, and the group of soldiers gradually replenished a large number of animal internal organs, alleviating night blindness.

Li Xiang, Liu Susu, Liu Sheng and others are at the south gate, sending the owner of the village to travel.

Liu Susu pulled Liu Chengdong's arm, "Daddy, will it be dangerous?" Do you have to fight Yunyang Mansion to recruit An? ”

"Silly girl, what danger can there be? It's not really about attacking the city, it's just to scare the Yunyang Mansion so that the court can know. As long as the saint is alarmed, there will naturally be someone in the court to speak for your father. You have to protect yourself in Mingyue Village and don't run around......"

Liu Chengdong looked at his daughter with a complicated expression, nodded at Li Xiang again, and held back what he wanted to say. Turn around and stride away.

The villagers were jubilant and worried about the damage to their relatives, so they said goodbye to their father and brother with mixed feelings, completely unaware of the approaching test of life and death.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, Mingyuezhai mobilized according to Li Xiang's arrangement. The children are concentrated in the Mengxue camp, and the artisan camp is under martial law.

Most of the young men were also mobilized, either patrolling or participating in the defense. Although he didn't think there would be any big danger, Li Xiang felt that it was better to be careful.

In order to ensure safety, Yang Jianchuan's Laozi Yang Yingdong led fifty soldiers to stay, and the disabled veterans were arranged to be placed in the courtyard of Mengxue and the workshop. The youth camp is assembled in the middle of the Mongolian school and the workshop, ready to support at any time.

Liu Susu felt that Li Xiang was suspicious, but Li Xiang always remembered Liu Chengdong's advice to Liu Susu, and always felt that something was going to happen, so he asked Liu Susu to lead the women and children to stay in Mengxue.

Mingyuezhai is in a gourd-shaped hill col, the terrain gradually decreases from northwest to southeast, and the main exits are in the east and south. It is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are many bright and dark whistles around the stockade, and several passable mountain roads have passes built of large wooden boulders, and there are a number of trenches to block horses.

Liu Chengdong, who has been a general for many years, is really extraordinary, and the defense system of Mingyue Village is decent, simple and practical. Moreover, it makes full use of the terrain and reduces the amount of work.

It was nearly midnight, Li Xiang finished inspecting the wall and various secret sentinels, spot-checked the weapons guarding the village, and found no mistakes.

Just as he was about to close the door and go to sleep, he saw the fire rising from the mountain to the east, and the screams, shouts of killing, and the sound of the alarm immediately sounded. Li Xiang's heart was shocked, and he immediately rushed to the east of the village with Xiong Chengwu, Liu Decheng and others, and Yang Jianchuan and Qin Zhong were responsible for the defense of Mengxue and the artisan household camp.

Ten minutes ago, on the mountain to the east, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came before closing. The captain in charge of the defense looked at Zhao Scar in the firelight, and shouted loudly: "Dare to ask Zhao Zhai Master, what are you doing?"

"Less nonsense, open the door and spare your life!" Zhao Scar shouted arrogantly, and didn't seem to take him seriously at all.

"Zhao Scar, you are not crazy. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lord Liu Zhai will bring his troops over, if you know each other......"

"Haha, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know that the whole army of Mingyuezhai has been dispatched. Liu Chengdong can't come back this time, the box army of Yunyang Mansion is waiting for him! ”

"Ah, how do you know ......?"

"Hehe, then you have to go down and ask Liu Chengdong. Let you see the fierce fire oil tank of the officers and soldiers! ”

Fierce fire oil tank, the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and the box army standard equipment, Huang Liren spent a lot of money to get a few from Zhang Tianlei.

The tank uses kerosene or preliminarily refined petroleum as fuel, compresses the air, and sprays the fuel. In less than ten minutes, twenty soldiers guarding the gate were burned to death, and the gate was broken!

As soon as Li Xiang arrived at Dongzhaimen, he saw that the mountains in the north and west were burning at the same time, and he felt more and more bad.

Li Xiang forced himself to calm down, "Xiong Chengwu, you immediately ordered all the remaining old and weak to withdraw to the artisan camp." Qingzhuang took all his weapons and gathered in Mengxue. ”

As the largest source of income, the artisan camp has recently built a high wall of brick and stone, which looks like a small fortress. Mengxue only has low earthen walls, and Mengxue's work has been very intense, and he did not expect the situation of the village being broken, so the defense is worrying.

"Liu Decheng, you immediately notify Yang Yingdong and ask him to evacuate all the gates, open posts and secret posts, and concentrate on defending the three gates in the south, east and west, and be sure to hold out until the owner of the village returns." Although Li Xiang didn't know exactly what was going on, he immediately prepared for the worst.

The north side of Mingyue Village is against the mountain, and there are only three gates in the east, west and south. The gates were made of large roasted wood, with a short layer of stakes to provide support and serve as a foothold for the defenders.

Li Xiang repelled Zhao Scar's three attacks at the south gate, and then saw a group of officers and soldiers coming up under the cover of the long card player, pushing something that looked like a water wheel.

The "water wheel" approached the gate of the village, and Li Xiang ordered to shoot with rockets. Unexpectedly, another team of officers and soldiers stepped forward, holding large bows and crossbows in their hands.

"Crossbow!" Yang Yingdong only had time to shout, and he knocked Li Xiang down.

Li Xiang watched as a very familiar soldier was pierced through the chest by a crossbow arrow, and then fell. Take a gasp, the crossbow is so powerful!

Then there were two streams of water spraying on the wall, burning the oil tank!

The young Zhuang on the walled wall was first suppressed by the officials and soldiers with crossbows, and then burned by the fierce fire oil tank, and the defense line was quickly broken through. Li Xiang saw the strength of the so-called "erosive" Xiang army, which was still not something that the young and strong people who had initially trained could resist.

The wall was burning rapidly, and the heat was so hot that his face and hands were hot. Li Xiang looked at Zhao Scar outside the Mengxue camp, and his heart sank like water.

Yang Yingdong set up a death squad, with Li Xiang's guarantee of generous pensions, dozens of veterans and young men explained the aftermath, and then rushed to the thieves who entered the walled gate.

Li Xiang didn't want to leave those people and escape alone, but was forcibly taken to Mengxue by Yang Yingdong.

Under the combined swords and guns of the official army and Zhao Scarzi, the old soldiers and the village soldiers fell one by one, but none of them fled, and Li Xiang's anger finally overwhelmed the fear of blood at the first sight.

The crossbow is right, the fire tank is right, the iron armor is it. Haha, rampant, huh?!

You don't know anything about power......

Soon after, under tremendous economic pressure, Li Xiang began to research new weapons. Since then, in the northeast of Mingyue Village, at the foot of a mountain surrounded by a high wall, there will be a "rumbling" sound every few days.
