In the whole Yangjiazhuang, the front yard and the back yard are combined, there is a total of nearly 200 meters long courtyard wall, because the east wall and the west wall are all conjoined houses, therefore, forming an extremely thick defensive barrier.

At that time, the ancestors of the Yang family settled here to start a business, and they knew that this place was located on the border, and bandits were frequent, so when building the manor, the courtyard wall was also taller and thicker than that built by ordinary large families.

Regardless of the front yard or the backyard of Yangjiazhuang, the courtyard wall is all made of bluestone, the blue bricks are piled up, the wall is one zhang and two high, unless the enemy has any special climbing tools, otherwise, if you want to easily climb over the wall, I am afraid that it is a little difficult.

Because the courtyard wall was too high, when Zhao Tiequan and them deployed defense before, they specially laid columns and wooden stakes on the inside of the courtyard wall, and arranged a layer of springboards.

The gangplank is close to the wall, about two meters high from the ground, Zhuang Ding stands on the gangplank, just poking his head out from the top of the courtyard wall, as long as the enemy kills outside the wall, whether it is long-range shooting or shrinking to dodge, it occupies a huge defensive advantage.

At this moment, the vermilion gate of Yangjiazhuang is firmly bolted and closed, and behind the gate, a large number of stone piers and stone strips are piled up, so that even if the thief kills him and wants to break the door, don't want to succeed easily.

On the left and right sides of the front yard gate, on the courtyard wall that is nearly 100 meters long, there are already two people, Yang Meng and Yang Shiyuan, leading hundreds of clansmen Zhuang Ding, holding strong crossbows and repeating crossbows, lying on the top of the courtyard wall, staring ahead with full attention, waiting for the arrival of the thief.

Yang Zheng looked up at the night sky and found that it was pitch black, the moon was dark and the wind was high tonight, it was indeed a good day to kill people and set fires, no wonder the thieves in Black Tiger Village would choose to attack Zhuang tonight.

Due to the fact that he didn't have a watch, Yang Zheng didn't know what time it was, so he secretly contacted Long Ritian of the Infinite Armory through his mind.

Long Ritian told him that it was half past eleven in the evening.

"Half past eleven!" Yang Zheng held his chin and muttered to himself: "According to the calculation of time, the thieves of the Black Tiger Village should be coming soon." ”

Thinking of this, he immediately climbed onto the gangplank on the left side of the courtyard wall and came to Yang Meng's side.

I saw Yang Meng looking at the vast dark night ahead, frowning and saying, "Big brother, I've been waiting for almost an hour, why haven't the thieves in Black Tiger Village appeared yet?" ”

Yang Zheng said lightly: "It's coming, be vigilant." ”

After saying that, he stopped speaking, and lay down on the wall with the others, and waited patiently.

The night was dark, except for the crackling sound of the lights on the courtyard wall and watchtower, and the whole Yangjiazhuang was silent inside and out.

Everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.

At this moment, everyone's mood is a little nervous, even Yang Zheng is no exception.

After all, in the face of the famous and fierce mountain bandits of Black Tiger Village, it would be a lie to say that they were not timid. But no matter how nervous and scared they were, in order to defend the manor and survive, they must go all out to repel the thieves. Otherwise, if the thieves break through the manor, there will definitely be blood all over the ground, and there will be no chickens and dogs.

The minutes were ticking, and before I knew it, another half an hour had passed.

The thief did not appear for a long time, and everyone was lying on the courtyard wall, and their mood was inevitably a little anxious.

Suddenly, Zhao Tiefist, who was guarding the courtyard wall on the right, slammed the wall brick and shouted to Yang Zheng: "The thief is coming!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they adjusted their crouching bodies one after another, and their minds were highly concentrated.

Yang Zheng was lying on the wall, staring ahead without blinking, it was dark in front of him, he couldn't see anything at all, and he didn't notice any suspicious movements.

However, he had no doubts about Zhao Tiequan's early warning.

People like Zhao Tiequan, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, their ears and eyes are far more sensitive than ordinary people, since Zhao Tiequan said that the thief is coming, then he must come.

Sure enough, after a while, Yang Meng's ears moved, and he also noticed the thief's movement.

"Big brother, the thieves are fierce, there are many people and horses, and they are less than a hundred steps away from our Zhuangzi, if the thieves are killed later, please go down and dodge, otherwise the arrows have no eyes, and it will not be good if you hurt the eldest brother."

Yang Zheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "Our walls are high and thick, and the thieves want to hurt me, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to ......."

"Look, the thief has appeared!"

"Everyone, be vigilant!"

At this time, there was a commotion and whispering above the wall.

Following everyone's gaze, Yang Zheng stared wide-eyed, only to hear the sound of "rustling" footsteps and running faintly in the night ahead.

The voice was dense and urgent, and there must have been quite a few people.

With the sound of dense running, the manor got closer and closer, and finally, a group of mountain bandits in black suits appeared in everyone's sight with a menacing attitude.

I saw this group of mountain bandits, with a cold expression and a fierce breath, all of them carrying bows and crossbows, holding sharp blades, especially their eyes, under the light of the lights, flashing with a terrifying cold-blooded killing intent.

The people and horses of Black Tiger Village finally appeared, and suddenly, everyone in Yangjiazhuang was nervous again.

Yang Zheng clenched the repeater in his hand tightly, staring at the approaching mountain bandits without blinking, and silently counted the number of opponents in his heart.

Coarsely, I found that there were three hundred mountain bandits who came to attack the village tonight.

I saw that the three hundred mountain bandits were elite, hunched over their waists, and rushed forward, so fast, like a group of wild wolves chasing their prey.

As the thieves continued to approach the manor, at this time, the Yang family Zhuang Ding, who was lying on the courtyard wall, took out crossbow arrows one after another, ready to fire at any time.

"Big brother, the thief is still sixty steps away from us, when will we release the arrow?" Seeing that the thief was getting closer and closer, Yang Meng couldn't hold it back.

Yang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Tell me to go down, wait until the thief enters within twenty steps, and then let's shoot with arrows!" ”

After receiving the order from the owner, everyone suppressed the tension in their hearts and waited anxiously.

Sixty steps, fifty steps, forty-five steps......

Suddenly, the three hundred mountain bandits who rushed forward at a rapid pace, when they were still forty steps away from the courtyard wall, stopped in unison, and then their team of three hundred people scattered like a tide, and at a distance of sixty meters, they set up a fan-shaped offensive formation.

The thieves did not rush to attack, and Yang Zheng did not dare to take the initiative to attack, so he could only lead hundreds of clansmen Zhuang Ding to hide behind the courtyard wall to see what tricks the thieves wanted to play.

At this time, in the camp of the thieves, there was a purple-robed man who walked out with his hands on his back.

The man's face was like a fierce tiger, majestic as a mountain, especially in his cold eyes, which flashed with a blood-like cruel light.

"Huang Xiaoshan?"

With just one glance, Yang Zheng could clearly guess that the man who was as majestic as a tiger must be Huang Xiaoshan, the big boss of the Black Tiger Village, because ordinary mountain bandits did not have his domineering aura at all.

Huang Xiaoshan looked up at the brightly lit manor in front of him, and then looked at the defensive battles on the courtyard walls on both sides of the gate, and couldn't help but shake his head and laughed: "Master Yang, it seems that you have been prepared, but it's a pity that you can't do it yourself!" ”

Yang Zheng stood up straight, met Huang Xiaoshan's gaze, and sneered: "Huang Xiaoshan, how fucking nonsense have you always been?" If you are brave enough, let the horse come, grandpa, I will wait for you for a long time! ”

Huang Xiaoshan snorted coldly, turned around and ordered the mountain bandits: "Kill!" ”
