Chapter 161: A Great Victory
Those torches gradually went up the southern slope, first went around the four corners, and then slowly approached the wall of Jiang's house.
Jiang Sanlang had already seen clearly that this was a team of more than 100 bandits.
The bandits also dragged two people, it was Chen Jiaxing, the eldest son of the Chen patriarch, and Chen Shu, the eldest son of Chen Sanyou.
The two men were tied into rice dumplings with rope and dragged all the way by the bandits.
Seeing this, Chen Yin was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.
His eldest brother just didn't listen to persuasion, and now he finally persuaded the family to come to Nanpo and live in Jiang's house, but the eldest brother and the lobby brother refused to come, and said that in case of encountering bandits, life and death would be fateful.
I thought that they would at least find a place to hide, but they ended up living in the house with such a big horn.
It's good now, the two of them were caught by the bandits, and they were dragged all the way here, if they let the uncle and father see it, I don't know how distressed.
Jiang Saburo didn't say anything, and looked coldly at the bandits below to see how they moved.
The bandits did not come closer, but circled the wall.
The bandit leader couldn't help nodding and muttering to himself: "This place is so wonderful, it takes less than ten years to build such a wall, which shows that this family is really rich." ”
Turning his head and raising his chin at the subordinates beside him: "Call a few people to go up and have a look."
"Yes!"
The little boss summoned two skinny young men and asked them to climb the wall and explore the way.
These two people were originally snitches, and their skills in climbing over walls and buildings were first-class.
The two bandits nodded, ran quickly to the wall, and when they reached the wall, seeing that there was no movement above, they took out the rope hook from their waists and threw it at the wall.
The hook was stuck at the edge of the wall, and the bandit pulled hard, and when he saw that the claws were very tight, he climbed the rope and climbed the wall with both feet and climbed up quickly.
The villagers hidden on the wall were a little anxious, and quietly asked Jiang Sanlang: "Third brother, what should I do?" ”
Jiang Saburo thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Let them come up." ”
The bandits were far away from them, and their arrows could not reach them, so they had to be led forward before they could shoot arrows.
And they also have two hostages tied in their hands, these two are also the sons of Chen Sanyou and Patriarch Chen, and he has to worry about the life and death of these two people.
Although the villagers were puzzled, they still hid aside.
In order to defend against the bandits, a lot of wood and stones were piled up on the wall, as well as bamboo arrows, etc., and the villagers hid behind these things, and the night was dark and moonless, so the thieves might not be able to find them.
A bandit climbed onto the fence, but his hands were scratched by broken porcelain pieces on the side of the outer wall.
He scolded secretly, didn't dare to make a loud noise, raised his eyes, and saw the black shadows on the wall, which startled him, and when he looked closely, it didn't seem to be a person, it was a pile of wood, stones and other sundries.
Looking down, there was no sound in the courtyard.
The bandit thought for a moment and immediately beckoned to his accomplices below.
The bandit leader didn't make a move when he saw it, but waited for another person's reply.
Another bandit also climbed up the wall, but before he could get up, his neck was already strangled by a thin rope, and he tried to struggle, but his head was grabbed and twisted violently, only to hear a slight click, and the bandit collapsed like a dead fish.
It was a small movement, but it also alarmed another bandit.
The bandit reacted quickly and immediately tried to climb the rope and escape.
But he couldn't escape, and was already dragged over and his neck was broken.
Only then did Jiang Saburo see that it was Wen Fu who did it.
Wen Fu said lightly: "The more you care about the hostages, the more rampant the bandits will be, and in the end they will only be beaten with chickens and eggs." Send a signal immediately, let's attack from both sides and catch him off guard! ”
Jiang Saburo nodded, and immediately ordered someone to light the arrow, and the arrow with the flame was condescending, flying directly to the haystack ten zhang away.
You can't shoot people at this distance, but you can ignite a haystack drenched with tung oil.
For a time, the fire around the bandits was blazing, illuminating them with nowhere to hide.
Suddenly, the sound of killing came from behind the bandits.
The bandit leader was taken aback and subconsciously looked back.
I saw more than 100 villagers rushing out of the shadows, holding sticks, iron forks, shovels, and some with big knives, shouting and shouting to kill.
The bandits had never seen such a battle among the villagers, and they immediately ran to the wall in a panic.
"Shoot!"
Seeing that the bandits had already run to the range, Jiang Saburo gave an order, and more than a dozen archers standing on the wall shot arrows directly at the bandits below, knocking down more than a dozen people at once.
Immediately, the gate opened, and Wen Fu rushed out with dozens of villagers, wielding machetes and axes to slash at the bandits.
The villagers had long been angry.
Their homes were burned, food and property were looted, and they were full of anger so that they were fearless, and rushed over without hesitation, and cut down the bandits when they saw them, almost one by one.
This kidnapping gang is a group of bandits, some of them are still wounded, and this night action is just to secretly get some food and money to facilitate the escape in the future.
As a result, when I encountered such a group of villagers, I played so many tricks to deal with them like the regular army of the imperial court.
Now the bandits are completely chaotic and are running around.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandit leader wanted to flee alone, but someone had already targeted him, and the cold light slashed over the two bandits who were protecting him, and another cold light directly cut off one of the bandits' arm.
The bandit leader screamed and rolled to the ground clutching his arms.
Two villagers pounced on him and pressed him, and tied the bandit leader into a dumpling in three or two strokes.
Wen Fu said in a low voice: "Drag him back to stop the bleeding, don't let him die." That's a big deal. ”
The villagers understood and dragged the bandit leader back directly.
At this time, the inside of the wall was already brightly lit, and everyone stood in the courtyard, trembling to listen to the shouts and screams outside.
The villagers dragged the bandit leader into a hut and called Mrs. Wen to stop the bleeding and heal him.
Mrs. Wen and Sakura walked into the house together, Sakura Bao was holding the medicine bag, and Mrs. Wen took out her medicine box and wound treatment tools to stitch up the wound of the bandit leader.
At this time, the bandit leader was already in a coma due to excessive blood loss, so Sakura took out a pill and crushed it in water and poured it into him.
This is a great treasure of meritorious service, but you can't just die.
Outside the walls, only 12 out of 10 of the robbers escaped in the night.
The wounded were tied up with ropes, and the bodies of the bandits were dragged to one place to be disposed of.
The eldest son of the patriarch and the eldest son of Chen Sanyou were also untied and sent back to the Jiang family for treatment.
The two men had one ear each cut off, and their faces were swollen like pigs' heads, except for these flesh wounds, which were fine, but because they were frightened, they pulled their pants with feces and urine.
Patriarch Chen was so angry that he asked his daughter-in-law to change his son's clothes and pants, so he asked Wu Si's husband, Wu Si, to give them medicine.
After clearing the battlefield, it was already dawn.
Jiang Sanlang asked the two legs to go to the town to report the matter to Sun Lizheng, and then lay down and rested for a while.
This great victory is not only the credit of Dongchen Village, but also the help of more than a dozen Xichen Village people and dozens of masons.
Among them, the greatest credit is Wenfu.
Jiang Saburo can see that this Wen Fu is very powerful, not only strong in martial arts, but also decisive in killing, and his ability to deal with the enemy is like a battle-hardened general.
But such a person actually condescended to be a slave, which made Jiang Saburo very incomprehensible.
Even if the imperial court now emphasizes literature over military force, for this kind of talent, as long as he is willing, it is not a problem to get out of slavery.
