Chapter Seventy-Three: A Small Stroke
"Let them all out, if you want to join us, go with us, and if you don't, let them leave on their own." Of course, Ye Ying would not embarrass these Daning people, and commanded to everyone.
The Flying Eagle Guild bandits are not very capable of fighting, and they have a set of scraping things, and they quickly cleaned up all the valuable things in the outpost, even those dead Northern Barbarian soldiers.
"Big boss, the weapons are enough for twenty or thirty people, and the food can be eaten for a long time, and the valuable things looted from them can be left in addition to paying protection fees to Fuhu Village." The second master, Ge Shun, quickly reported to Ye Ying.
Ye Ying didn't worry much about how to deal with these things, but just asked everyone not to be greedy for things that were too bulky, and to retreat within a pillar of incense, because someone from the Beiban camp under the mountain would come up soon.
There is also good news that in addition to two or three of these men and women who have been arrested to work, most of them are willing to join the gang, and these people are all 20 to 50 years old, strong and strong, with their joining, the strength of the cottage can be greatly improved.
After some brief explanations, Ye Ying found a quiet corner and began to meditate and rest, he had to hurry up and recover the internal force that had disappeared too much, because what happened later was unpredictable.
Ge Shun and the others also knew that time was pressing, so he organized everyone to move the useful materials as quickly as possible, and those who really couldn't take it away, they would destroy them, so as not to leave them to the Northern Barbarians to continue to plague the people of Daning.
"Big boss, I'll stay with you!" Hearing that Ye Ying was going to stay to block the enemy, Ge Shun was in a hurry, Ye Ying is now the backbone of the cottage, if something happens to him, the good atmosphere that the cottage has finally had will be ruined.
And Ge Niu'er, Ge Gen and others on the side also said that they wanted to stay and fight for everyone with Ye Ying, but Ye Ying refused all.
"My kung fu is high and my speed is fast, they can't catch me, if you stay, you will drag me back." Ye Ying's attitude was very resolute, and what he said was indeed reasonable, although everyone was very worried, they could only do what he said.
Less than a moment after the Flying Eagle Guild retreated to the mountain, there was a sound in the mountain road below the Beiban outpost, and the figures of two teams (nearly three hundred) of Beiban soldiers soon appeared on the mountain road.
Someone dared to touch the Beiban outpost, and the supreme commander of the camp below was very angry, and he told the two teams that brought troops up to reinforce this time that they must not let go of any attacker.
Shangfeng was furious, and the two teams did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led their soldiers to the mountain as fast as possible. When they saw that the outpost was already in sight, the two teams were desperately urging their subordinates, for fear of letting one of the attackers go.
When the group saw that they could climb another steep slope to reach the outpost, something suddenly happened, and a large rock suddenly rolled down the mountain road.
This stone is not small, at least equivalent to the weight of one or two people, this is not something that ordinary people can stop, and the neat formation of the Northern Barbarian soldiers was suddenly disrupted by this stone. Everyone dodged left and right to avoid being hit by this stone.
What made these Northern Barbarian soldiers depressed was that it was not just this one stone that rolled down from above, but two, three, and four...... There were more than a dozen of these boulders, which rolled down the hillside one after another.
At this time, almost all the northern barbarians knew that there were people on the hillside who were trying to stop their advance.
Everyone wanted to rush up the mountain as soon as possible and kill all these troublemakers, but such a large stone could not be stopped by flesh and blood.
Fortunately, it seems that the people on the hill did not find enough stones in a hurry, because there were no stones to roll down from above. Seeing this, the two Northern Barbarians waved their hands one after another, ordering their soldiers to rush towards it as quickly as possible.
Who knew that they had just rushed a few steps, and they saw a large pile of firewood and grass on the road, and the firewood and grass were sprinkled with tung oil, and when the bandits were wondering what was going on, a torch suddenly fell from above, and just set the pile on fire.
Immediately afterward, several more torches flew down from above, and the firewood and grass pile soon ignited a raging fire.
Some of the swift Northern Barbarian soldiers ran down the hill as fast as they could, while those who reacted slowly suffered and were suddenly surrounded by flames.
Some fell to the ground in a panic, and the fire quickly set his clothes on fire, while others were too anxious to do anything. Jumping into the ravine at once may not result in losing your life, but injuries are inevitable.
Later, some long arrows were shot from above, and several million soldiers who tried to put out the fire were shot one after another.
"They are not many in number, blocking bows and arrows while clearing the roads." A northern barbarian is also shrewd, and quickly makes a judgment from the arrows shot.
Hear orders from your boss. The Northern Barbarian soldiers hurriedly took action. Some blocked the bows and arrows above, some cleared the firewood and grass on the road to extinguish the flames, and some treated their wounded companions, and soon cleared the road to the top.
After the Northern Barbarian soldiers rushed up the hillside, they were disappointed to find that there was no one on the ramp, and the outpost not far away was already a mess at this time, and it was obviously looted.
"Chase me, catch up with them, and kill them." Seeing the corpses of their companions everywhere, the Northern Barbarians were furious.
However, the terrain of the vast mountains was really complicated, and all the Northern Barbarian soldiers searched for a while along the traces of human walking, but there were no clues.
However, this is also normal, and it is indeed a very difficult thing to catch bandits who use this terrain as their home field in the vast mountains.
Ge Shun and Ge Yuncai led the people of the Flying Eagle Guild to shuttle through the mountains and mountains, while constantly looking behind, and when they saw the young figure appear in their eyes, tears actually flashed in the corners of their eyes.
In the Flying Eagle Club cottage, since Ye Ying and his party left, the old people and children who stayed in the village began to look forward to their return.
Knowing that it was impossible for everyone to come back so soon, everyone gathered at the gate of the cottage very early and looked at the direction of everyone's return with expectant eyes. The children who are naughty and mischievous on weekdays have also become very regular at this time, they quietly look into the distance, looking forward to their father, mother, and brother...... The figure appeared in his eyes.
Waiting is the most anxious, and I never see the shadow of my loved ones, and everyone's mood becomes heavy. Some of the children started crying, first one or two, then three or four, and eventually almost all of them started crying.
"It's back!" Finally, a child climbing on a tree shouted excitedly, and immediately everyone was excited.
I don't know who took the lead, all the old people and children began to walk towards the bottom of the cottage, and when they saw the figure of their relatives with their own eyes, the bottom of the cottage immediately became a sea of joy.
The bandits who returned to the cottage proudly put the things they brought back on the empty dam of the cottage, and then hugged their relatives and excitedly told their experiences.
In the end, almost everyone's eyes fell on the young figure, because this young man not only brought them food, weapons and clothes, but more importantly, brought them hope.
This day is the most lively day since the establishment of the Flying Eagle Club Cottage. When Ye Ying announced that he could drink freely today, eat and eat full, and not need to train tomorrow, the whole cottage boiled like a pot.
Ye Ying didn't get up until the sun had risen a long time the next day, which was a very surprising thing for him who was used to getting up early.
There is no way, the men, women and children in the cottage are too enthusiastic, Ye Ying also drank openly, at first he was able to talk and laugh to everyone, but then he was a little unclear when he spoke, and in the end he didn't know when he fell asleep.
When he got up in the morning, he had a terrible headache, and Nightingale knew that this was the consequence of drinking too much, and he secretly warned himself that he must not drink so much wine until he had to do so in the future.
Let people call Ge Shun and Ge Yuncai, this time, although the harvest is quite fruitful, there are still many things to deal with.
In this sneak attack on the Beiban outpost, several bandits who were injured in the cottage have been treated, and there is not much of a problem at present. The biggest problem is that one person died in battle, this is the first bandit to die for the Flying Eagle Society, and the treatment of him must not be taken lightly.
Ye Ying took Ge Shun and Ge Yuncai, as well as some money and food, and the key was a wooden sign with the words "Flying Eagle Hero Ge Xi" written on it.
The family of the bandit Ge Xi, a woman about forty years old, was grieving the death of her husband in the house, but saw the second head of the big family and the military advisor coming forward to mourn, and hurriedly welcomed the three of them in.
When she saw the money and food sent to him by the cottage, as well as the elaborate plaque, promising that he could live in the cottage forever, the woman was moved to tears. In this era when human life is like a dog, this little warmth can warm a person's heart.
In addition, the cottage will also be responsible for the burial of Ge Xi, Ye Ying set aside a piece of land next to the cottage as a special cemetery for the fallen brothers, and Ge Xi is the first person to be buried here. In the future, the brothers who are the warriors of the cottage will be buried here, and the cottage will organize sacrifices every year during the Qingming Festival and the Midyear Festival.
At the solemn burial ceremony, the woman was moved to tears again, and she even said that when her two sons grow up, they will still be involved in the team and continue to fight for the cottage.
In addition, Shanzhai also arranged a formal welcome ceremony to welcome several new members from the outpost, which quickly made these newcomers feel the enthusiasm of Shanzhai.
Some of these new members who joined the cottage were poor men who couldn't survive, and some were women who had returned home faceless by the scourge of the Northern Barbarian soldiers.
Without the danger of starvation, many things in the cottage can be carried out relatively smoothly, first of all, the problem of the division of labor. In order to increase the collective consciousness of everyone, tasks are now assigned to everyone.
This time the sneak attack on the Beiban outpost was used to treat the injured bandits. Ye Man was very dissatisfied, so after he came back, he arranged to set up an ambulance team, the members were mainly women in the village, and the only doctor in the cottage taught them some simple rescue methods, which could reduce the casualties of the fighters as much as possible in an emergency.
The children were also organized, and in addition to having them learn some basic martial arts, they also formed a scout troop among them, whose main task was to communicate and stand guard.
Even those elderly people who are in better physical condition have taken action, spinning, weaving, raising livestock, according to Ye Ying, everyone is doing their best to contribute to the cottage.
During this period of time, everyone in the cottage was in a relatively busy state, but everyone did not complain, but was very happy. Because they have realized their own value, they also see the hope of copycats.
