Chapter 42: The Jedi Strikes Back
After Yang Zheng rushed into the granary under the escort of a group of clansmen, he did not rush to close the granary door, but stood anxiously outside the door, waiting for Tao Yunlong and them.
At this moment, he clearly saw that more and more mountain bandits were pouring into the backyard shouting and screaming.
Not far away, Tao Yunlong took a group of crossbowmen, supporting Yang Meng and Zhao Tiequan, who had been injured, and quickly retreated in the direction of the granary.
Tao Yunlong led everyone to flee while ordering the crossbowmen to shoot backwards, wanting to stop the thieves from chasing, because the distance from the backyard corridor to the granary is an open field, except for some plants and potted plants, there is nothing to cover around, therefore, in the face of Tao Yunlong and others' crossbow shots, the gang of thieves behind them did not dare to chase too close.
Every time he saw Tao Yunlong and the others raise their crossbows, Huang Xiaoshan ordered the mountain bandits to quickly retreat and disperse, so as to avoid the attack of the arrows.
After a few stops and pursuits, the distance between the two sides gradually widened, but at this time, the more than a dozen crossbowmen led by Tao Yunlong, the arrows in their crossbows had also been exhausted.
At this time, Tao Yunlong and the others were less than twenty meters away from the gate of the granary.
Seeing this scene, Yang Zheng, who was waiting outside the door, immediately urged loudly: "Hurry up, come in quickly!" ”
After hearing Yang Zheng's urging, Tao Yunlong and the others immediately quickened their pace, and without a few breaths, they quickly hid in the granary with Yang Meng and Zhao Tiefist.
Turning his head to look outside, he found that Huang Xiaoshan had led the mountain bandits to kill dozens of meters away, seeing this scene, Yang Zheng's eyes were red, and he yelled: "Hurry up, close the warehouse door!" ”
Zhuang Ding, who had been guarding both sides of the warehouse door for a long time, immediately closed the two extremely heavy warehouse doors as quickly as possible.
After the warehouse door was closed, Yang Zheng also ordered someone to find a few wooden squares several meters long, and they were dead at the door, trying to strengthen the granary door as much as possible, so as not to let the thieves break into the door easily.
After doing all this, the Yang family retreated three meters behind the door out of breath, nervously paying attention to every move outside the door.
The granary of Yangjiazhuang is very large, due to the reason that there is not much grain stored this year, most of the places in the granary are empty, such a spacious space, accommodating more than 200 people in Yangjiazhuang, not crowded at all.
The first to enter the granary to take refuge were some old and weak women and children led by Yang Yunhui, and now, these old and weak women and children are all huddled under the corner of the deep granary, trembling all over, looking very frightened.
Obviously, after they learned that the mountain bandits of Black Tiger Village had broken through the manor, they all felt that there was no hope of survival, even if Yang Yunhui and others kept comforting them by the side, the panic in their hearts did not diminish in the slightest.
Yang Meng and Zhao Tiequan were helped by Tao Yunlong and others to sit down by the wall, and Yang Qian, Liu Shengyuan, Zhao Yuer and others surrounded them, asking about their injuries with concern.
Although everyone had already retreated into the granary with high walls and thick walls, everyone's faces were very gloomy, and their hearts were also extremely nervous, including Tao Yunlong and Yang Shiyuan, who had never been afraid of heaven and earth, and other reckless men, their expressions at the moment were very solemn.
Everyone knows very well in their hearts that tonight in the face of the gang of thieves who kill people without blinking an eye in Black Tiger Village, their entire Yangjiazhuang is estimated to be more auspicious.
Although he is currently hiding in the granary, how long can he resist the thieves with only the two thick doors of the granary?
Suddenly, outside the gate of the granary, there were bursts of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps, and the arrogant scolding and wild laughter of the mountain bandits continued to be heard outside.
"Big boss, these guys are all hiding in the granary, let's set fire to them!"
"Black Bear is right, these dogs have killed so many of our brothers, if I don't kill them all, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart......"
Hearing that the gang of thieves outside said that they were going to set fire, the bodies of the Yang family who were hiding inside trembled, and their faces were extremely pale.
At this time, Huang Xiaoshan's cold voice faintly came from outside. "Flying Tiger, bring someone to find a thick log and knock open the door of this granary for me!"
"Yes, Father......"
Sensing that the mountain bandits outside had surrounded the granary, at this time, Tao Yunlong finally couldn't hold his breath, picked up the cooked copper stick and came to Yang Zheng, gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, there is no way back now, anyway, it will be a death horizontally and vertically, just let my brother and I rush out and kill a few thieves to relieve hatred." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Shiyuan and other hot-blooded young people standing next to him also shouted: "Owner, let's just fight with the thieves, so hide here and wait for death, it is better to go out and fight hard." ”
"Yes, let's fight the thieves outside!"
"Even if we die, we will pull a few thieves to accompany the burial!"
"Owner, open the door......"
Facing the shouts of Tao Yunlong and others, Yang Zheng's face sank, and he shouted angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”
Seeing that the owner of the village was angry, everyone was silent and did not dare to continue shouting.
At this time, Yang Zheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Under the northeast corner of the granary, there is a layer of bluestone, open that layer of bluestone, and there is a secret passage below, which leads directly to the small river behind, and this secret passage is only known to the heads of the Yang family in previous generations." ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, obviously they never thought that in the granary of Yangjiazhuang, there was actually a secret passage leading to the outside of the village?
Yang Zheng glanced at everyone calmly, and then turned his gaze to the second brother Yang Qian and the chief housekeeper Yang Fengnian, "Second brother, Uncle Nian, you will immediately lead the old and weak women and children of Yangjiazhuang to take the lead in escaping from the secret passage." ”
Yang Qian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what about you?" ”
Yang Zheng smiled faintly, "I'll take some people with me, stay behind and delay time!" Otherwise, if everyone leaves from the secret passage, it will be too late, besides, if the gang of thieves in the Black Tiger Village break into the door and find that the granary is empty, they will definitely find this secret passage, and when the time comes, if they chase and kill along the secret passage, none of us will want to live. ”
Yang Qian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said, "Big brother, you go, I'll stay and delay time!" ”
Yang Zheng glanced at him coldly, "Here I am the head of the Yang family, everything is up to me, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and leave with the third brother Uncle Zhao and the little sister." ”
Bang!
Suddenly, the door of the granary, which was firmly closed behind him, suddenly made a violent sound, and then he heard the sound of the mountain bandits shouting and hitting hard outside the door.
As the logs hit the gate more and more frequently, the movement became louder and louder, and suddenly, the old and weak women and children hiding in the depths of the granary screamed in fright.
"Let's go!" Yang Zheng was really angry this time.
Yang Qian took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and nodded, and then took Yang Meng, Zhao Tiequan and other old and weak women and children, lifted the bluestone hidden in the secret passage, and left in an endless stream.
In the process of leaving, the injured Yang Meng shouted several times to stay, but was knocked unconscious.
