Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 125 The Hungry Night Attack
Zhu Lidian and Zhuo Wenxuan saw that Wu Yong was frowning and pondering, but they didn't disturb him, this concept of supporting the nine clans still needs him to figure out how powerful it is, and outsiders can't force it.
At this moment, Li Tiandian, who was supposed to be guarding the inner door, found Zhu Lidian with an anxious look and handed him a piece of silk with handwriting on it.
Zhu Lidian unfolded the silk silk with a puzzled face, only to see that it was written: "Tonight, there will be a night attack on Fuwangli by spring hunger and grass thieves."
After reading it, Zhu Lidian was shocked and hurriedly asked Li Tiandian: "Where did you get this silk silk from?" Who left behind? Li Tiandian shook his head,
"I don't know, just now when I was about to close the inner door, I found a cloth bag hanging on the lintel, and when I opened it, it was this silk silk." Zhu Lidian forced himself to calm down and continued to ask: "Apart from you, has anyone else seen this silk silk?" ”
"Nope! I'll look for you after I've seen it. Li Tiandian shook his head again. After hearing this, Zhu Lidian first breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about countermeasures with a sad face.
It doesn't matter whether the content of this silk is true or false, since someone wrote this silk silk, it means that there are already hungry people eyeing Fuwangli, even if they don't come tonight, they will come in the future.
As the saying goes: only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. The top priority is to come up with a solution as soon as possible, and then quickly inform the people.
Before you have a countermeasure, you can't let too many people know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Zhuo Wenxuan was standing aside, and when Zhu Lidian opened the silk silk, he didn't shy away from him, he naturally saw those words, and then couldn't help but interject: "Can you go and ask the pavilion chief to come over and help suppress these hungry people?" ”
"It's too late, since they plan to attack Fuwangli tonight, it is estimated that there are now their eyeliners outside, and if they go out easily, they will only be ambushed by them." Zhu Lidian sighed softly.
At this time, Wu Yong also came back to his senses, he saw that everyone was sad, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" Zhuo Wenxuan glanced at Zhu Lidian, saw him nodding, and then said softly: "Someone has news that there will be a hunger attack on us here today." Wu Yong was stunned and asked with some doubts: "Where did the hungry man come from?" So rampant! Doesn't the government care? Zhuo Wenxuan glanced at him and said in a quiet voice: "The so-called hungry people are all those who are so hungry that they can't live, maybe they were ordinary people not long ago." Then he sighed and said, "This happens at this time of year, these hungry people are only for money and food, as long as the attacked village does not resist, they will not hurt people's lives." In the past, they focused on the wealthy countryside, but they didn't expect to take a fancy to us this year. Wu Yong frowned and thought carefully for a while, but finally couldn't help but speak,
"Can we just sit back and wait? Hoping that these hungry people will be merciful, we might as well find some way to catch these people. Zhuo Wenxuan hurriedly stopped: "You are still young, I don't know how powerful it is." As the saying goes, if you are a man, you will see each other in the future. If we provoke these hungry people, let's not think of peaceful days in the future. As he spoke, he also drew out a proverb that has been circulating in the township: The hungry man is like a leek, and he is resurrected; The head is like a chicken, cutting and singing.
Only then did Wu Yong know why they were unwilling to be enemies of the hungry gangsters, but this hungry gang was like a leek, and it was impossible to catch them all.
If you really want to provoke them, it is possible to burn them in the hope of a fire regardless of it.
Thinking of this, Wu Yong didn't know how to deal with it. Make enemies of these hungry people, and the people can't afford the consequences.
Just tied up like this, and let these hungry people take away the money and food that the villagers had worked so hard to accumulate, and they were a little unwilling.
Everyone thought about it for a while, and finally Zhu Lidian finalized the countermeasures, and asked Li Tiandian to inform each family to prepare a hundred catties of food first, and then the adult men in the family gathered at the inner door.
Before you know it, it's the end of the day. It was pitch black in the whole Fuwang, and those who didn't know it thought that the people in it had already fallen asleep.
Unbeknownst to him, the adult males of the entire interior were armed and gathered behind the inner door, waiting for the arrival of the hungry men.
At this time, many people were already tired, but they still waited quietly. Tonight is crucial, and if the hungry are allowed to enter, the fate of their wives and children will be unknown.
According to Zhu Lidian's plan, first catch some of the hungry people who are exploring the way, and then negotiate with their leaders to give as little food as possible.
As long as it was after tonight, he would strengthen the defenses of Fuwangli, and at the same time ask the pavilion chief to arrange for officers and soldiers to come and be on duty, even if he paid a lot of money for it.
You must know that these hungry men are only for money and food, and they don't want to be a thorn in the side of the government, so they are all hiding from places where officers and soldiers are on duty to attack.
Just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the inner door, and Zhu Lidian looked out through the crack in the door, and through the moonlight, he saw many masked people pointing at the gate in Fuwangli.
Because they were not far away, many of their voices reached Zhu Lidian's ears.
"Big brother, you can only enter through this inner door, and in other places, my brothers have checked it, and there are not only ditches, but also thorn bushes and walls, which are difficult to enter."
"Okay, then let's go in from here, go arrange for a few people, climb in with a hook, and open the door for me."
"I'll arrange to go, but are we really only going to take money and food this time? I've heard that the real power in Fuwang is that they do all kinds of too empty food, should we plunder some women and leave? ”
"No, tell the brothers below, still follow our previous rules, as long as you don't resist, you are only allowed to take money and food, and you can't think of anything else, if you are found by me, you will not be spared!"
"It's a pity, don't put it in the golden rooster that lays eggs, will we be laughed at by other hungry people!"
"Who said no, everything in this Fuwang is because of the invention called Wu Yong, as long as we catch him, we won't worry about no chickens that can lay eggs in the future." Wu Yong was extremely depressed in his heart, originally everyone didn't let him participate in tonight's affairs because of his young age, it was he who insisted on coming, so he was allowed to stay with Zhu Lidian, he didn't expect this group of hungry people to hit him with their ideas.
Before he could think about it, the hungry men who took the lead had already begun to jump off the wall one after another, but as soon as they jumped down, they would be pressed to the ground by three villagers, one covering his mouth, one pressing, and one being tied up.
Seeing that he had been struggling, the person in charge of covering his mouth whispered in his ear: "Be honest, or I will stab you to death." This hungry man was immediately honest, and he didn't dare to struggle anymore, and let others bind him, and his heart was terrified.
If it is operated, after a while, the villagers in Fuwang will be tied up with more than 20 hungry people. At this time, the people outside realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "There are people inside, we have been discovered, and the people who went in just now have disappeared." When the hungry men saw that the matter had failed, they immediately became a little overwhelmed, and some even began to retreat, but the leader was quick to move, and immediately stood up and shouted fiercely inside: "Listen, the people inside, open the inner door at once, hand over the money and food, we can guarantee that no one will be hurt." The other hungry men suddenly shouted as if they had a backbone.
"yes, open the door quickly, or don't blame us for being rude." Since he was discovered by these hungry men, Zhu Lidian suddenly stopped pretending, he asked people to light torches, and slowly walked up to an arrow tower, and then said unhurriedly: "I am Lidian Zhu Yu in Fuwang, today I have found your traces, in order to avoid unpredictable casualties between you and me, you better go back." With Zhu Lidian taking the lead, the other villagers also began to shout loudly in order to cheer themselves up.
"We won't open the inner door, please go back." Nowadays, the inner door is to prevent thieves and thieves, there is an arrow tower on each side, and at this time the torch is also lit on the other side, and it is Li Tiandian who leads two archers.
Wu Yong followed Zhu Lidian, he was also holding a bow and arrow in his hand at this time, and looked at the hungry men not far from the door with a wary face, and there were as many as two or three hundred people under the careful count.
Don't underestimate these hungry men, although they are called hungry men, but they are all armed with weapons, and even one of the leaders is riding a horse and wearing leather armor, and his figure is very burly, which is intimidating, although he is covered with black cloth and cannot see his face clearly, but from the point of view of momentum, he is not a good person.
I saw Zhu Lidian arch his hand and said: "You strong men have come from afar, I will naturally not let you return empty-handed, and I am willing to send a thousand catties of food to return the people captured just now." ”
"Thousands of pounds of grain! You're begging for food! Who gave you the confidence to dare to despise us so much, believe it or not, we burned your Fuwangli. Zhu Lidian didn't argue with them, and then nodded to Wu Yong.
I saw Wu Yong put on his bow and arrows, aimed at a hungry man wearing a helmet, and reminded him: "The big brother with the spear, you have to pay attention, I will shoot your helmet in a while." The hungry men were stunned, there was only one of them who could hold a spear and wear a helmet, and he was standing beside their eldest brother at this time, more than twenty meters away from the arrow tower, if he could shoot, he would really be an archer.
Their eldest brother is a well-known archer, and he can only shoot thirty meters at the farthest, and it is not bad to be able to shoot once out of ten.
And listening to the voice, the other party's age is very young, and his arm strength has not yet grown, so he feels that it is impossible to shoot, so many people laughed.
"If you can shoot, we'll retreat!" The reason why Wu Yong was able to be left by Zhu Lidian was because his archery skills had made rapid progress, and now he was almost 100 shots within 30 steps, which was also the confidence of Wu Yong to dare to go up to the arrow tower.
I saw that his eyes were fixed, he clicked on the system, and the bow and arrow in his hand flew out with a whoosh, only to hear a clang, and before the hungry people could react, the helmet had already landed.
The man with the spear screamed in fright, and hid behind a tall man with his head in his hands.
The other hungry men looked at Wu Yong with their mouths wide open as if they were being choked by someone, and they were silent for a long time. After a long time, it was the leader who spoke up first: "Good archery, dare to ask this little brother his name?" ”
"I'm Wu Yong!" Wu Yong was still a little haunted by his previous words. The leader glanced at Wu Yong deeply, and said to everyone: "Okay, I remember, a certain word counts, let's go!" ”
