Chapter Seventy-Six: Fame
As the clouds of war dissipated, the guards of the cottage stripped their weapons and armor from the corpses on the ground, then displayed the corpses in one place, and dug a deep pit on the slope not far from the fortress to bury the corpses together to prevent the outbreak and spread of the plague.
Although Feizhuang's invasion caused huge casualties to Shuangfeng Village, it also brought a large number of good weapons and armor to Shuangfeng Village, strengthening the single strength of the Fengzhai guards, and the war also made the actual combat experience of the Fengzhai guards, especially in the city defense experience, increased rapidly, and the ability was on a higher level.
But war is always a kind of greedy endless wear and tear machine, the Fengzhai wall is seriously damaged, especially the wall, has been completely damaged, if not built in time, as long as a wave of robbers with a slightly larger number of people, it is possible to bring great harm to the villagers. Witt handed over the authority to Banderni, who had already begun to order the guards to begin repairing the walls and other buildings.
The villagers hid in the main village for refuge, suddenly heard that the battle in the village was over, the owner of the village led the cottage guard to defeat the Feizhuang army, the enemy generals fled in the desert, and immediately cheered and froze, and poured out of the main village one after another, singing praises to Witt, and the favorability also rose a lot. Witt's popularity in the peak village soared for a while, and the villagers surrounded Witt, which made Witt both happy and embarrassed for a while, and finally instructed the villagers to assist the already exhausted guards to clean up the battlefield and repair the buildings, so that they could be relieved.
After the war, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Witt seemed to feel that the cohesion of the cottagers was further strengthened. In the past, villagers generally did not care too much about public utilities, or even turned a blind eye. Nowadays, the villagers seem to be happy to pay their own modest efforts for the cottage. Witt guessed that perhaps it was because the cottage had made great efforts for the villagers and defended the interests of the villagers, that the villagers would be grateful to the cottage and Witt.
In an instant, Witt seemed to understand the heavy burden on the shoulders of a city and a country, but more importantly, it was an inescapable responsibility, that is, to protect the residents in the jurisdiction and safeguard the legitimate interests of all residents, which was the initial driving force for the residents to gather together, gather into villages, gather into towns, and finally converge into a country.
Shanzhai is a collective, the prosperity of the cottage needs the silent efforts of the leader, but also needs the joint efforts of everyone, the people's aspirations, invincible. Witt looked at the busy villagers in the streets, and his heart was infinitely emotional and gratifying.
A few days later, in a dense forest near Feizhuang, a group of unknown robbers were discussing with each other, and their expressions were quite similar to those of Peking Opera.
"Huh! A few days ago, the local army attacked Shuangfeng Village, have you heard of it? "One of the robbers asked the other with a strange expression, as if he were tempting.
"Wasn't that village a gang of local bandits before, but it was slaughtered by the local army, wasn't it?" Another robber heard this, and with curiosity, he stepped forward and interjected.
"That was hundreds of years ago, I heard that after the head army left, there was another group of people out of nowhere, and they also forcibly occupied the peak village, built the wall, and there were hundreds of people under their hands!" The minions who spoke at the beginning said, and they didn't forget to dance with their eyebrows, add oil and vinegar, and attract the attention of their companions. I have to say that as soon as this minion said this, the other companions immediately came forward and gathered in a circle to listen to him.
"Stop blowing! You said that there were hundreds of people in that stockade, wouldn't that be several times more than the head army? A skeptical minion asked.
"Hey! I lied to you to do it, can't you support it when you're full? There were really hundreds of people in the village, and a few days ago, the local army went to the village to suppress bandits, but they never thought that the soup was not drunk, and they threw themselves into the pot and stewed them all overcooked, and the whole army was wiped out. When the army of forty or fifty people set out on the expedition, the momentum was huge, and in the middle of the night, the commander of the light pole came back in disgrace, but was seen by the villagers who went to the pit in the middle of the night, and the news spread the next day, and it was in an uproar! If you don't believe it, go to Feizhuang and have a look! Even a little kid knows more than you do! Seeing that his companions questioned him, the robber was unconvinced, and he wanted to hang his companion's appetite little by little and open his face, but he was provoked by the law and explained.
More than a dozen robbers sat together, looking at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. These robbers are all heroes of the green forest, they were born as ordinary people, and they are not used to the words and deeds of the army bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and the heroes of the green forest themselves also have some courage and ability, and they are good at solving problems with the size of their fists in their lives, and they admire the strong in the narrow sense.
So far, I have only heard of bandits and their ilk becoming detours when they encounter officers and soldiers, and it is not uncommon to hear of the suppression of bandits, and the suppression of soldiers is a strange news. Now everyone heard that the bandits in Fengzhai were able to fight head-on with the Ditou army, and almost completely annihilated the enemy army, which made this group of robbers stunned, but they were very impressed.
After the silence of the crowd, one of the robbers suddenly broke the silence and proposed: "You said that our brothers have lived here with this meal and no next meal, not to mention whether there is food or not, not only do you have to hide from afar when you meet officers and soldiers, but even when you meet your peers, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, you often take the best policy, and you can't sleep well on this day......
Another robber suddenly interjected: "Why don't we go and take refuge in Shuangfeng Village!" ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and although they were surprised, they said what everyone thought in their hearts.
"Although that's right, but let's go to Shuangfeng Village like this, does the owner of the village like us? What if they don't take us in? Maybe it could even lead to death! A word woke up the dreamer, and the robbers trembled with fright, and immediately stopped speaking.
"I don't think so, I heard that the owner of the village has a narrow and benevolent heart, and I heard that the villagers in the village do not need to pay food tax, and they also praise the owner of the village. Let's go to him, if the other party doesn't accept it, we won't be wiped out. The opening robber pondered for a moment and then said.
Everyone nodded, and then someone chimed in: "Instead of living a life here, maybe one day we will die in Huangquan, it's better to give it a go, maybe the owner of the village is willing to take us in!" In the future, we will not be more than wandering around, and our lives will be guaranteed, so why not? ”
Subsequently, everyone echoed and agreed, and finally unanimously decided to try to take refuge in Shuangfeng Village. Just do it, everyone immediately packed up their things, wore shawls and armor, carried waist swords, and went in the direction of Fengzhai.
In fact, the complete victory of Fengzhai against Feizhuang has been spread in the Fesdena area, including villagers and bandits, and the fame of Shuangfengzhai has increased greatly.
