Chapter 143: The Great War

Scout:......

No, I didn't say anything, how do you know?

"Look at the way you look, you're supposed to be a scout"

Scout:......

It's amazing, but how did he see it?

The scout had countless questions in his heart, but it was obvious that Li Xiuyuan didn't mean to explain to him.

He didn't know that in his previous life, when Li Xiuyuan was on the Tushan Iron Mine, he had seen the garrison there.

At that time, there was also a riot in Tushan, and it was the Tushan garrison that suppressed the refugees on the mine, of course, after the garrison took over the mine, the situation was only good for a while, and it didn't take long for the same thing to happen when the officials were in charge, because the garrison was also out of food.

In the face of the same desperate situation, the Tushan garrison is also the same as the official errand, a raccoon dog.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

The scout's face did not change, even if he was recognized, he did not intend to admit it.

He thought he was well hidden.

"Someone Coming"

"In"

"Interrogate him well, find out who he is and what is the purpose of coming to Liu Yunzhai"

"Yes, Owner"

Leaving the cellar, Li Xiuyuan summoned the plug.

"Arrange for Qishan and them to find out the news, first find Uncle Dahai to get the bow and arrow, you don't need too many people, the two of you are fine" Li Xiuyuan was a little uneasy in his heart, in his previous life, he didn't know if the Tushan garrison had come to Liu Yunzhai, but here, catching the scouts of the garrison is not a good thing after all.

The bolt went down to arrange, and the people sent out happened to be Qishan and Xu Cheng.

The whistle was also guarded by two people.

Li Xiuyuan was not idle, and hurriedly gathered the members of the escort team, opened the warehouse where the weapons were placed, and selected twenty good archery masters to issue bows and arrows.

Wu Ziying couldn't help much, so she helped register the records of the weapons received.

After the battle, these weapons are to be recovered.

Liu Yunzhai does not have a blacksmith shop now, and once the weapon is damaged, it is difficult to repair it.

The villagers who were not in the escort team, led by Yu Dashui, went to set traps around the village.

Time passed little by little, and by the time the scouts were captured, it was already dark, and by the time they descended from Qishan, it was already dark.

After a hasty meal, the old people and children in the village went home and closed the door.

There was still no news from the scouts, and the time passed minute by minute, and it was only in the middle of the night that the two Qishan ran back out of breath.

"Qiyu village master, there is a group of officers and soldiers coming towards our village"

Before they could descend the mountain, they heard the movement of officers and soldiers.

The team of two hundred people, even if they didn't speak, and the footsteps fell to the ground, it was quite a big movement.

"How many are there?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"About 200 people"

"How far is it?"

"Less than ten miles"

That's close.

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly asked people to prepare.

The archers were in ambush in the shadows, the shield men were at the entrance of the village, and two archers were arranged on the whistle.

The distance of ten miles is not far, it can be reached in half an hour, plus the part of the road back from Qishan, I am afraid that they will go for several miles, and sure enough, after a cup of tea, a quiet team appeared on the mountain road.

Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky, it was the time of the child, and it was the time when people slept the deepest this day.

"Shoot the Arrow"

Seeing the people in front of him walking into the range of the archers, Li Xiuyuan ordered the arrows to be released, and the feather arrows shot out in a row, and the unsuspecting officers and soldiers were caught off guard.

It's just that this is an elite army, and after a short period of panic, it quickly calmed down.

"Formation"

The twenty archers only took down less than ten people, and they reacted to the convenience and formed a military formation against the archers on Liu Yunzhai's side, and the arrows shot out were sent out one after another.

There were only two officers and soldiers at the head, and the road was narrow, so they had to retreat a little before the military formation worked.

It won't work any further.

"Hundreds of households, there is basically no place to settle in front, and the larger military formations cannot be used"

"Then two by two"

It was already close to the front, and it was impossible to retreat like this, this garrison resolutely moved forward, two by two, relying on each other, and the original team of two hundred people could only exert the strength of less than a hundred people here.

The only goal is to storm the village and steal their food.

The siege garrison was overstretched, and Li Xiuyuan, who was defending the city, was also extremely uncomfortable.

Because although these officers and soldiers were not allowed to advance, they did not bargain.

Except for killing a few officers and soldiers at the beginning, he didn't take any of them later.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer to them, if they were allowed to break through the entrance of the village and enter the village, their geographical advantage would no longer exist.

A lot of feather arrows were consumed, and once the arrows were consumed, they would not be the opponents of these officers and soldiers at all.

"How's the trap prepared?"

"All ready, owner"

"The archers listen to the order and find a way to drive them into the trap"

When the archers heard the order, they immediately changed their strategy, no longer running for the lives of the officers and soldiers, but trying to force them to dodge.

It was dark, everyone was only illuminated by a little fire on the sentry, the sight was not good, and the officers and men did not realize their intentions, and soon, four officers and men were forced to dodge by the arrows, and with one foot in the air, they were pierced by the iron forks buried in the pit.

"There are traps"

Screams rang out in the night, and in the second half of the night, the refugees began to suffer casualties.

The hundred households of the garrison raised their swords and found the positions of several archers, and killed them.

"Let me come"

Wu Ziying looked at the villagers who fell in a pool of blood, took a big knife and walked out, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she looked coldly at the garrison outside Baihu.

"Sister Ziying"

Li Xiuyuan grabbed her and shook his head.

She is a woman, where will she be the opponent of these soldiers.

Although the village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean that it cannot be attacked, and the garrison has reached the front, and their geographical advantage is much less.

Stopping Wu Ziying from going out, Li Xiuyuan waved to the back, and saw someone pushing a cart made of wood, and there were four tightly covered vats on the cart, and several guards stepped forward, reached out to lift the big bucket, carried a handful of melon scoops in their hands, lifted the lid of the wooden barrel, and a thick water vapor suddenly came out of the barrel.

"Boiling water?" Wu Ziying was surprised.

I saw the guards scoop a scoop of boiling water and splash it at the officers and soldiers who wanted to come in.

In these days, water is a rare thing, and the officers and men could not have imagined that they would actually burn boiling water to splash people, after all, although boiling water is hot, at most it will burn people, and it will not kill people.

A scoop of boiling water splashed out, and many officers and soldiers were burned, and behind Li Xiuyuan and them, a steady stream of water was sent over.

Neither side ever spoke, and as soon as they met, it was a battle of life and death.

The boiling water that came out of the new end stopped the offensive of the officers and soldiers, and Li Xiuyuan and they regained some advantages.

"Baihu, they are too difficult, do you want to talk to each other?"

After fighting for so long, they had already discovered that these people on the other side were not very similar to the bandits, but a little like the fleeing people.
