Chapter 198: Counseling against the enemy
Feixiang and the others rode to the top of the mountain and looked around. I saw two mountains stretching left and right, one connected to the mountain in the distance, and the other extended to a small river not far away. About two or three miles in front of the mountain is the White River. Two or three miles behind the mountains are peach blossoms.
From the riverside to Peach Blossom Village, there is only one road through the valley. If you block this valley mouth and want to go to Peach Blossom Village, you will have to take a long detour. Fei Xiang carefully examined the terrain and memorized it silently.
After reading it, Feixiang thought for a while, and said to Qiushuang: "Miss Qiushuang, I want to arrange someone to monitor the river here. If you find a boat to help the boat dock, light a fire at night, smoke during the day, and report back quickly. What do you think? ”
Qiushuang said unhappily: "Sister Feixiang, you are our savior, I am seventeen years old this year, and I am estimated to be younger than you." I'll just call you sister, you call me sister, okay? ”
Feixiang has a cheerful and bold personality, informal, easy-going and willful, and is not polite. The autumn frost was overjoyed, so he asked the four family members to stay on the top of the mountain to monitor the movement on the river and the surrounding area. It was a matter of the lives of the whole village, and the four of them did not hesitate and agreed in unison. Feixiang told the four of them a few more words and asked them to take turns on duty.
After Feixiang finished speaking, Qiushuang turned to Luo Chuan and said, "Brother Luo, our martial arts are low, why don't you ask us to give us a few tricks now?" ”
Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Miss Qiushuang, you are also a person who practices martial arts, and martial arts are not so easy and fast. ”
Qiushuang replied with a serious face: "Big brother, don't call me any girl, you can call me little sister or by name." I don't like people calling me girls, okay? Luo Chuan saw that she was serious, so he had to agree.
Qiushuang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, big brother." We also know that skill can not be practiced in a day and a half, but it is enough to learn a few swordsmanship! ”
Luo Chuan thought about it, so he asked them to practice their swordsmanship. After reading it, Luo Chuan gave careful guidance, and passed on the Luo family's introductory swordsmanship to them.
Without the permission of the old man of Ximen, Luo Chuan would definitely not dare to teach it to outsiders. The Luo family's swordsmanship is the result of the Luo family's painstaking efforts for several generations, and it is extremely exquisite.
After Luo Chuan saw the swordsmanship of Qiushuang and the others, he felt that their swordsmanship was too simple, so he taught them the Luo family's introductory swordsmanship. Although the Luo family's introductory swordsmanship is relatively simple, it is much more sophisticated than the swordsmanship of Qiushuang and others.
Autumn frost is overjoyed, and the four family members study hard. They were originally people who used swords, and the Luo family's introductory swordsmanship was easy to learn, so they naturally became familiar with it quickly.
Qiushuang and the others were about to step forward to thank Liu Shui, but they were stopped by Luo Chuan. After leaving four people to monitor the river, Luo Chuan, Feiying, Feixiang and Qiushuang rode back. When they entered He's house, they saw that the hall was full of people. It turned out to be Lizheng in the nearby village of ten miles and eight townships, and they got the message of Hongxing and hurried over.
Peach Blossom Village was attacked by gangsters with heavy casualties, and the news quickly spread throughout the nearby villages. When these people heard about it, they were all terrified and terrified, fearing that the next attack of the gangsters would be their own village.
Many people are already planning to flee to relatives' homes and take refuge for the time being. In these ten miles and eight towns, Hongxing is very famous, and everyone knows that she and her maidservants and family members know some martial arts, although their strength is not strong, but they have some combat effectiveness.
If the Hongxing family can't resist the gangsters, the rest of the villages, although they are a little stronger, probably can't resist them. These people were nervous, and the people from the Red Apricot Sect came, and the villages heard that the Red Apricot was safe and sound, so they were a little relieved. When they learned that Hongxing was going to convene a nearby village to discuss a major matter, they immediately rushed to the meeting.
When the Li Zheng or the owner of each village came to Taohua Village, he saw hundreds of coffins in the open space in front of He's house. The villagers of Taohua Village wept and gathered the remains of their loved ones with sad expressions. Some people faint because they are so sad that they faint.
There was blood on the ground, and many houses had been burned down, leaving only rubble and broken walls. Everyone was terrified and silently bowed to the rows of coffins. When Hongxing learned that everyone was coming, she hurriedly invited them into the hall and sat down.
After everyone sat down, Hong Xing told the story of the attack, saying that if it weren't for the unexpected help of the four members of the Ximen family, no one in Peach Blossom Village would have been spared. And introduced Ximen Mountain, and everyone thanked Ximen Mountain.
At the same time, Hongxing told everyone that the purpose of the Boat Gang was not just a Peach Blossom Village, but to make all the nearby villages submit to them. When everyone heard that it was a boat gang, they were all shocked. They are well aware of the strength and style of the boat gang. Everyone immediately discussed, and someone asked Hongxing what her plans were.
Hongxing said the plan that she hoped that the villages would form an alliance and help each other, and asked everyone to consider it. Naturally, there are people who practice martial arts in every village, but their martial arts are not high. If they were to face the boat gang alone, naturally no village would have the courage and strength.
As soon as Hongxing's suggestion was put forward, many people immediately agreed, and Hongxing was elected as the leader of each village in unison. Hongxingben is a skilled doctor, and many people in the neighborhood have been treated by her, so she is very famous. Hongxing repeatedly refused, but everyone refused to agree, and asked Hongxing to tell everyone what to do next.
At this moment, Luo Chuan and the four of them came in. Hongxing introduced Luo Chuan and the three of them to everyone, and everyone got up to salute and thank each other. Luo Chuan and the three of them hurriedly returned the salute and said a few words modestly.
Hongxing invited everyone to sit down, told Luo Chuan and them about the fact that the villages agreed to form an alliance and were willing to rescue each other, and asked Luo Chuan and the others for their opinions. Luo Chuan told everyone about arranging someone to monitor the river just now, and then looked at Feixiang. He knew that Feixiang must have a lot of plans, and motioned for her to speak her mind boldly.
Feixiang knew that the situation was critical, and she was not polite, so she explained her plan and plan. She hoped that each village would select strong men to form a village protection team and hire people with strong martial arts skills as their leaders. He is always free and diligent in practicing martial arts. One can protect the village, and the other can help neighboring villages. Between the villages, beacon towers were built.
In case of crisis, smoke is released during the day and fire is lit at night. The rest of the villages saw the alarm and went for reinforcements. In this way, the ten miles and eight towns become a whole. As long as everyone can unite as one, they will be able to defeat the enemy.
When they heard this, they all applauded in unison. Of course, some people also pointed out that there are no masters in their village, and they have nothing to do with the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and they are worried that they will not find a suitable coach. Therefore, they wanted to ask the four people of Ximen Mountain to teach the villagers martial arts for them.
Ximen Shan thought that the four of them still had the responsibility to protect Wu Zetian, so they couldn't stay here for too long. This time, it wasn't that the boat gang was too brutal, Ximen Shan had already left with the three of them to chase Feiyun. For the requests of the villages and villages, Ximen Shan had no choice but to refuse.
Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, Feixiang immediately told them that if they couldn't find a suitable person for a while, Mr. Zheng's dart head and the dart master of the Bafang Dart Bureau could act temporarily. At the same time, they will also pay attention to everyone, and if they meet suitable martial arts people, they will also introduce them to each village. Zheng Lang also said that he and the dart master of the dart game are willing to play.
Everyone was overjoyed, and although Feixiang was just a beautiful girl of twenty years old, she acted decisively and was very knowledgeable, and they couldn't help but admire it even more.
Seeing that everyone's fear was eliminated, Hongxing was naturally overjoyed, and immediately proposed that Ximen Mountain serve as the leader of the alliance of various villages. Everyone heard Hongxing say that Ximen Mountain is strong in martial arts, and his granddaughters are so knowledgeable, he himself is naturally more outstanding, so naturally there is no objection.
Ximenshan hurriedly excused himself, saying that he was used to being idle and would not stay in one place for a long time, and he was entrusted by others to escort a person into Beijing. But he promised everyone that he would definitely fight back the gang of gangsters before they left.
When everyone saw Ximen Mountain's refusal, they were inevitably a little disappointed in their hearts. But when he promised to fight back the boat gang before leaving, he was overjoyed.
At this moment, someone came in to tell him that wolf smoke had been released on the barren mountain in the distance. Everyone was shocked to know that the boat gang had come to the river. Seeing this, Luo Chuan hurriedly looked at Feixiang.
Feixiang immediately shouted loudly: "You don't need to panic, please listen to me." Seeing that Luo Chuan and the others seemed to be confident and calm, everyone also calmed down.
Hongxing said to Feixiang: "Miss Feixiang, what are your orders, but it doesn't hurt to be blunt." Hongxing had already admired Feixiang so much that she naturally believed that she had an excellent coping strategy.
Feixiang didn't have time to be polite at the moment, and directly told everyone about her plan. Fei Xiang asked all the villages to return to the village immediately, gather the able-bodied men, preferably with more bows and crossbows, and immediately gather at the foot of the mountain in front of them. Then, ask Mrs. He to arrange for them to lie in ambush on both sides of the valley.
In order to buy more time for everyone, Simon's family will rush to the front of the mountain first to stop the boat gang from moving forward. After the ambush was settled, with three screams as a letter, Simon's family would lead the boat gang into the valley. Then the people attacked the men of the boat gang with bows and arrows from both sides.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, except for those who are not weak in martial arts, others should not come out and fight the gangsters head-on, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties, just shout and cheer.
Someone worriedly said, "What if this doesn't stop them?" ”
Fei Xiang knew that they were not confident, so she said, "Don't worry, as long as we hold out for an hour or two, someone will soon come to reinforce us." Mr. Zheng is well-known in Nanyang City, and he has already sent people to ask for help from the major gangs in Nanyang City, and these people will definitely come soon. ”
The Bafang Dart Bureau is famous in Nanyang City, and its strength is strong, and everyone naturally knows it. There are many sects in Nanyang City, and there must be many of them who have a good relationship with the dart game, so naturally there will be people to help. When everyone heard that there were these people as their back-ups, their confidence naturally increased.
Seeing this, Feixiang asked Hongxing to discuss the next matter with everyone, and she wanted to rush to stop the enemy with Ximen and the others. Ximen Mountain got up, and as soon as he bowed his hand to everyone, he was about to turn around and come out. Zheng Lang, Dongxue, Qiushuang, Lu Mei and Zheng Bai also stood up and wanted to go with Ximen Mountain and others.
Seeing their resolute attitude, Ximen Shan thought about it for a while, and asked Zheng Lang to stay and assist Hongxing in arranging the rest of the matter. Bu Luochuan was worried about an accident, so he let Qiushuang and Dongxue stay in the village to protect the old and weak, women and children. However, the villagers of Taohua Village refused, saying that they did not need to keep someone to protect them.
