Chapter 16: The Attack
"Yo! Sigh! Come on! ”
"Squeak!"
In Qilin Village, on the dirt roads in the village that have just been built, horse-drawn wagons are loading a large truck of timber, stones and other materials to the northeast corner of the village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the hillside in the northeast corner of Qilin Village, a large area of woodland has been mined again in the area adjacent to the houses, where hundreds of Qilin Village villagers are busy in an orderly manner.
The prototype of one by one private houses has been formed, and dozens of private houses will be added to Qilin Village in less than two days.
With the continuous addition of displaced people, Qilin Village has nearly 700 people. With the increase in population, the originally wealthy housing in Qilin Village has once again become a little stretched.
For this reason, Fan Zhi, who stayed in Qilin Village, had to gather people again to start building houses.
Fortunately, the supporting buildings in the village, such as the primary warehouse, the primary market, the grocery store, the primary tavern, the primary tea shop, the primary barracks, and the primary blacksmith shop, have been basically completed, and Fan Zhicai can devote the freed labor to the construction of private houses.
According to the current trend of development of Qilin Village, the population will definitely increase at any time, and it is necessary to build enough houses to facilitate the reception of displaced people.
Near the east gate of Kirin Village, the primary market has been built, and shops such as grocery stores, junior taverns, junior tea shops, junior blacksmiths, junior carpentry workshops, and junior tailors are located around the market.
However, at this time, the market in Qilin Village was very depressed, and there were few people, only a junior blacksmith shop and a junior carpentry workshop with more than a dozen people each, all of whom were some masters and a few apprentices in the rush to make the knives, axes, pots, spoons and other daily utensils needed in the village.
The newly established Qilin Village has not yet been on the right track at this time, many orders and systems have not yet been established, and the focus of the village is also on the construction of the village, so the development of handicrafts and commerce in the village is still zero.
"Ho!"
"Ho!"
。。。。。。
Bursts of neat cheers continued to come from the junior barracks in the southern corner of the village, not far from the government affairs center.
On the school ground, 40 Qilin Village soldiers in light armor and spears were practicing loudly under the command of Cheriji, and Chen Bei, who was born in the army next to him, was correcting the movements of these soldiers in the queue as his deputy.
After the primary barracks were completed, Cherrigi immediately selected 40 strong men from Qilin Village and transferred all of them to become soldiers. In addition to the 40 soldiers on the school grounds, 10 soldiers were arranged to patrol Qilin Village under the leadership of Hu Chuquan.
Today, there are more than 700 people in Qilin Village, and so many people must not be deterred by only a few people, such as Che Liji, Hu Chuquan, Chen Bei, and Fan Zhi, and a special guard must be formed to maintain law and order in the village and detect the surrounding dynamics at any time.
These matters were also arranged by Sima Yu before he set off.
Now this newly formed team has also taken shape under the training of Cherrigi and Chen Bei, and it will take some time to truly form combat effectiveness. However, it is enough to maintain law and order in the village.
As the sun sets, twilight slowly falls.
"Step! Trample! Trample! ”
Just as Hu Chuquan led five soldiers to patrol to the north corner of the village, a Qilin Village soldier flashed out of the woods not far away, looking flustered, and hurriedly rushing towards this side.
"What's the alarm?"
Looking at this subordinate who seemed to have lost his mind, a trace of displeasure flashed on Hu Chuquan's face, and he said in a deep voice.
"Return,, return to my lordship, my subordinates have an urgent military intelligence report!"
After being drunk like this, the soldier also came back to his senses, and quickly knelt on one knee, panting and breathing, but he couldn't hide the panic on his face.
Although these soldiers have been trained for several days, the time is still too short, and they have not been baptized by war, and they are not qualified soldiers.
"Speak!" Hu Chu Quan said.
"My lord, we found an army coming towards my Qilin Village 2 miles away, and they will arrive here soon."
Perhaps it was Hu Chuquan's calm performance that gave him some confidence, and the soldier finally settled down and hurriedly said.
"How many of them are there?"
"Back to my lord, there are more than 200 people!"
"Quickly bring the news back to the village, let them get ready, and everyone else will follow me."
After understanding the situation clearly, Hu Chuquan immediately decided, and after speaking, he led the five soldiers behind him to run into the forest.
Although it is said that due to the lack of manpower, there are not many spies that can be sent under Hu Chuquan's command, but it is definitely a shame for him to find the traces of the enemy when he is touched 2 miles away.
Therefore, at this moment, Hu Chuquan has already made up his mind in his heart, even if he is desperate, he must buy more preparation time for the village.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"My lord, there is an enemy army of more than 200 people coming to my Qilin Village 2 miles away, Lord Hu Chuquan has already led people to stop it, and the villain has come to report"
Soon, while Cherrigi was still training the soldiers on the school grounds, one of the soldiers rushed into the village with a loud shout and came to the school grounds to report to him.
"Chen Bei, you immediately go and inform Wen Ran and assist him in organizing the evacuation of the villagers."
Hearing this, Cherrigi suddenly changed color, and immediately instructed Chen Bei next to him, and after speaking, he also led the men and horses to the woods in the north of the village.
The military situation is urgent!
In the face of this incoming enemy army, Qilin Village does not have any advantage, and if this enemy army is allowed to enter the village in a hurry, it will definitely cause huge losses to the village.
Invading enemies must be sniped outside the village, relying on the favorable terrain in the woods to fight them.
"Whoa!"
Chen Bei also knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the government affairs center.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
Alarm bells began to ring in Qilin Village.
"Everyone assemble at the government affairs center!"
"Everyone assemble at the government affairs center!"
In the rush of the alarm bell, several Qilin Village villagers rushed to tell each other in the village, and all the villagers who were notified put down their matters one after another and quickly gathered at the government affairs center.
In the open space outside the government affairs center, Chen Bei had already led more than a dozen young men to carry out bundles of weapons and armor from the warehouse.
After taking out the weapons, Chen Bei quickly selected dozens of young men who were usually more bold and strong in the crowd, and distributed the weapons and armor to them one by one.
With weapons in hand and courage, the slightly panicked crowd quickly stabilized, and began to withdraw to the mountains and forests to the west under the escort of this improvised militia.
Outside Qilin Village, when the village was in a panic, Huchuquan, who led 5 soldiers to the mountains and forests, finally met the invading Yongxing Village army, and 112 soldiers of the Daming Guard and 94 newly recruited Yongxing Village soldiers quietly came under the leadership of Li Yong.
