Chapter Eighty-Six: The Xianbei Army Attacked Taiping Village
"Brother Li, it's done!" A shout pulled Li Yi back to reality.
"Oh!" Li Yi instinctively responded, only to see that the large pile of yellow mud was all gone, but instead there were rows of neat adobe.
"Everyone's done a great job! Take a break and get busy with other things! Li Yi looked at everyone's puzzled expressions, and he smiled slightly: "This billet can't be used for the time being, and it needs to be dried for a while!" ”
Two days later, the courtyards of each family were covered with freshly degraded adobe, and Li Yi walked through the street, and his heart was full of pride when he saw this scene. It has gained the trust of the villagers, due to a high degree of worship, to the extent of self-consciousness.
"Let's start building the kang!" Looking at the pieces of dry and neat adobe, Li Yi shouted, and the plasterers who were waiting on the side had long been impatient.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about the steps of setting up the kang first. Depending on the length and number of residents, the size of the kang is first determined. It is customary for people to choose Nankang, because the light is better by the window and the vision is wider. After determining the size of the kang, the next step is to build the edge of the kang, because the blank is too wide, it must be cut in half, so that it can be used ......" Li Yi recounted, and the plasterers have already begun their work.
Due to the large number of people, build a kang, live mud, move billets, and build kang...... The multi-process starts together, but it still seems to be a nest. Li Yi came to a multi-pronged approach, opening several shops at a time, and he inevitably had to go back and forth to check for various craftsmen and masters.
The frame of each house has been established, the soil leveling work has been completed, and the masters are busy arranging the blanks. Because this is the most important part, Li Yi said while walking back and forth: "The interval of the adobe must be even, so that the resistance of flue gas circulation will not be too different, and the chimney will not pour smoke......
"Oh no......" There was a faint shout, Li Yi was shocked, he hurriedly held his breath, and listened carefully: "Hu Ren is here!" I'm about to enter the village! "The source is closer, and the pitch is a little bit louder.
Broken! Cry wolf! Don't panic, everyone's eyes are on it! Li Yi thought secretly.
As Li Yi expected, several people in the house had already heard the warning, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked the hearts of several people: "Hu Ren is here!" Run! "Hide!" …… The two men who were shouting and running unexpectedly crowded at the door of the house, blocking the only way out.
And those old people who were slower to react were already pale with fright. The group of children shouted and rushed to the door, but they were at a loss because there was no way to escape.
"Don't panic, don't panic, with me Li Yi here, you won't be in danger!" Li Yi picked up the spear and comforted his father and fellow villagers loudly: "Go to the nearby tunnel entrance, hide in to avoid the limelight, be careful not to crowd, lest you not be injured by the Hu people, but destroyed at the feet of your own people!" ”
It is Song Zhi's responsibility to evacuate the people in the village. Song Zhi led the villagers to go all out, restoring half of the houses within a few days, and the underground works also progressed rapidly, providing enough shelter for the old, weak, sick and disabled. In order to be prepared, Song Zhi once organized a drill. It can't be fake, there was no sense of urgency that time, men, women and children gave and understood each other, it was orderly, and it was beautifully completed.
But this time when the real one came, hearing the trembling voice of the messenger, everyone panicked and confused. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Song Zhi, who was in charge of directing the placement, didn't know where in the village, and when he had to dredge and coordinate, the daylily was cold.
Li Yi is concerned about the war outside the village, how can he have the energy to care about the hiding of the people? After a reminder, he reached out and grabbed the belt of a struggling plasterer by the waist, and slipped aside like a chicken. The other escaped, and was about to run away. Li Yi grabbed him by the neck again: "Brother, look at you running like a rabbit!" The Xianbei people will not be able to enter the village for a while and a half, don't worry, the safe retreat of these people will be handed over to you! ”
"Everyone, be careful, I'll come back and ask!" Li Yi turned around and explained to everyone, and then rushed to the door of the inn as quickly as a fly.
Li Yi's war horse was tied to the door, this was just in case, and he could attack at any time. Sure enough, the Xianbei people came extremely suddenly.
stepped onto the war horse, Li Yi couldn't help but be impetuous: how is the defense outside the village? How many enemy troops are coming? Does the early warning system work? Are you prepared in advance? And the people who cut the land, did they succeed in concealment......
Li Yi's worries were not unreasonable, although in the past few days, the crowd of people has worked together to arrange all affairs properly, and they think that they are foolproof. But when it comes to the end, it is not satisfactory everywhere!
The conflict with the people of Taiping Village was a part of Suli, whose leader was Xiaoshuai Shangshi. Although he got some food and a large amount of supplies, he was calculated by Wang Ren and others, and lost his troops twice, which made Shang Shi very annoyed. But Taiping Village was just a thief in the mountains, and Shang Shi was only angry, but he did not arouse alarm.
The scouts sent back the news: the people of Taiping Village have returned to Zhuangzi and are building unscrupulously, and Wang Ren is still playing day and night, and his disobedience is clearly revealed.
Shang Shi sneered: "If Wang Ren hides in the mountains and doesn't come out, I am still afraid of three points, but now I am really desperate, and I have returned to the flat land without my strength, who wants to go and capture Wang Ren?" ”
"To deal with these three indiscriminates, I only need a hundred iron hooves to level the land of projectiles!" The chestnut falcon pouted with a big mouth fork, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes, almost to the sky.
"Although Taiping Village is a rabble, these stubborn villagers are very cunning, and they must not be taken lightly, but 200 soldiers and horses should be enough. In order to prevent the Diao people from escaping into the mountains, they need to raid and encircle the villages with lightning speed! If they flee into the mountains and forests, don't chase after them! "Shang Shi is a brave man, he does not have advanced strategies and tactics.
Li Falcon led 200 soldiers and marched all the way south non-stop, passing through the valley between Longgang Ridge and Fengwei Mountain, and breaking into the fan-shaped Pingchuan.
On the two hills of the valley, there are beacon platforms. But when the Xianbei people passed by, the people on duty in Longgangling stayed away from their posts and wandered in the mountains, looking for birds' nests, catching hares, and looking for pheasants. When he found out that the Xianbei people were really coming, and then ran wildly towards the beacon platform, the enemy soldiers had already passed through the valley.
The old brother in Fengwei Mountain was even more wanton, he found a good place to catch the sun and block the wind, leaned on the warm boulder, and unconsciously fell asleep.
The negligence of the two villagers made the beacon tower useless, and only the second set of warning lines remained, can it become a surprise soldier to discover the Xianbei people?
Zhang Ying was near the mouth of the valley and arranged three scouts. These three people had gone into the mountains to hunt, so that they had a bow and arrow, and they were carefully selected marksmen among hundreds of hardcover men. The ideological consciousness of those who have entered the team is obviously stronger than that of the common people. Leaning on the woods or the green gauze tent, the eyes glance at the valley mouth from time to time.
"Hu Bing is here!" The scout at the front shouted: "Go back to the village and report the news!" ”
