Chapter 41: The Battle of the Eastern Courtyard

There was a suffocating silence in the huge eastern courtyard, and a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone knows that Zhao Yuan is right, this yard is gone, and they don't want to survive this winter, especially those who have wandered in the wilderness.

In this harsh winter, food alone is not enough, there is also a warm place to stay, otherwise, there is no hope of survival.

"Now, we have two choices, first, to leave the East Courtyard immediately and make a long journey in this snowy winter, looking for a safe place to wait for the spring flowers to bloom in the coming year. Of course, choosing this path requires a lot of luck. First of all, you should bring enough food and warm clothes and bedding, secondly, you should also ask the gods to worship the Buddha so as not to encounter disaster victims along the way, and finally find a safe place to stay. I think that at this time, the Great Qin Empire should not be able to find a few safe places. ”

"The first one we don't consider. What about the second one?" Surprisingly, this time it was Guo Axe, who spoke quietly.

"The second one is simple, stay in Wanjia, protect Wanjia, and live and die with Wanjia. Here, I also want to tell you that if you stay in Wanjia, you have a better chance of surviving, although the enemy is twice as many as us, but they are not organized and undisciplined, and they will scatter in a hurry when they encounter danger. And we have neat clothes and a strong backing of Wanjia. They were short of money and food, hungry and cold, cold and hungry. And we, well-fed and warmly clothed, the grain in the warehouse is piled up, and we can't finish eating. As long as we are united and united, no one will want to step into this courtyard for half a step!"

"In addition, it is not safe to stay in Wanjia, because we are facing a mob of tens of thousands, they are no longer kind and simple people, they have become man-eating beasts. To defeat them, you need courage and determination to win! Here, I would like to remind those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you feel that it is not worth fighting for your future, then leave Wanjia and leave this courtyard as soon as possible!"

"Mr. Seven, open the door. Zhao Yuan shouted to the porter.

"Yes. Mr. Seven, who had been drowsy for a long time, also became nipple in his hands and feet at this time, and immediately opened the door.

"If you don't want to stay in Wanjia to fight, you can leave!" Zhao Yuan paused.

“......”

There was a commotion in the courtyard, but no one left.

"Well, since no one wants to leave, then, get ready to start fighting!"

"Fight!" Guo Axe suddenly raised the iron axe, roaring loudly, his voice was thick, full of a sense of male strength.

"Fight, fight!" the workers of the East Courtyard raised their hoes and poles.

"Fight, fight!"

"Fight, fight!"

All the people in the eastern courtyard raised their weapons in their hands, and the majestic shouts of the men set off waves of qi, like a tide, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the sound shook the sky, and the earth shook for it.

Inexplicably, people have an urge to boil their blood.

The raging war intent is burning.

Zhao Yuan raised his arm, and the boiling East Courtyard immediately quieted down.

"To the east of Xujiaqiaoqiao, there are five vertical and horizontal streets, which are connected to each other and lanes, and the East Street and Dustpan Street, where Wanjia is located, are the only way for the mob. But now, we are not only trying to stop the mob from invading Wanjia, but we also want to keep the enemy far away from the courtyard of Wanjia, so that they cannot approach Wanjia at all. In Xujiaqiao, there are still many small lanes, if we block the tail of East Street, those mobs will become a small group, into the dustpan street and those dense lanes, as long as those mobs are scattered, they will not be terrible, because, our population of Xujiaqiao exceeds 100,000, just our thousands of families, there are more than 5,000 strong laborers, we can easily defeat them, okay, start fighting!"

Zhao Yuan gave an order, and thousands of strong men began to carry grain in the warehouse, and built a thick "city wall" at the end of Dongjie.

Watching thousands of men carrying grain in an orderly manner like worker ants to build the city wall, Chen had a hunch that the crisis of the Wan family had been resolved.

The soldiers are divided into two ways.

Just when the east courtyard was building the city wall, Wanjia began to notify the residents of Xujiaqiao to take refuge, and the residents ran to the wilderness with the soft ones, or went to relatives, and some simply hid in Wanjia. However, it is the ordinary people who can avoid the disaster, and those large families can only stick to their own homes.

Minutes and seconds passed.

In just a few tens of minutes, thousands of people built a city wall made of grain at the end of Dongjie, which was three meters high and seven meters thick, and the back was stacked into a ladder, and people could directly climb the city wall.

In addition to building a wall at the end of the street, a wall was also built with grain against the wall on the east side of the east courtyard, and the wall built with grain was slightly lower than the wall, and people stood on it, and the wall could be used as a cover.

Just when the workers were in full swing, Zhao Yuan was chatting with Chen.

"Zhao Yuan, you are a general. Chen sighed.

"I wonder if Mrs. Lu Dao has a confidant?" Zhao Yuan asked without answering Chen.

"Henchman?"

"Yes, henchmen, henchmen who can sacrifice their lives for Wanjia, and of course, the most important thing is to be able to keep secrets. ”

"Yes. Chan nodded affirmatively.

"Very well, ma'am, you can now make them disguise themselves as beggars, and when there will be chaos, they can blend into the mob, and when the mob and Wanjia are in a stalemate, let them shout a few times, 'Ma's family has food, let's go to Ma's house'." ”

"Well, tell me why. Although Chen knew the reason, he wanted to hear Zhao Yuan's analysis.

"The mob is not so easy to deal with, they have nothing to lose except their lives, if they can't grab food, they still die, between life and death, they have become outlaws, if we don't let the mob divert, it will cause huge losses to the Wanjia, so, the only way is to move the mob's target to the Ma family as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on the Wanjia. ”

"I'll arrange it. ”

Chen glanced at Zhao Yuan meaningfully, and then walked towards the west courtyard. This young man's view of the big picture made people like the shrewd Chen have a hint of awe.

Just when Wanjia was in full swing to build a defensive line, there was a shout of killing outside the town, and the busy workers hurriedly climbed the city wall made of grain piles.

Because of the high and far-sighted view, people can clearly see that on the official road outside the town, dense crowds of people are pouring over like a tide, giving people a feeling of numbness on the scalp.

Zhao Yuan heard the shouting, and hurriedly climbed up to the city wall at the end of the street, and began to call on people to throw the porcelain that had been prepared long ago outside the city wall.

Crackling......

There was a sound like firecrackers, and some jars and jars of porcelain were thrown out of the jar and fell to the ground, and immediately turned into countless sharp porcelain pieces.

After a burst of wild throwing, under the command of Zhao Yuan, hundreds of people raised hoes, flat poles, kitchen knives, sickles and other things to stand on the city wall, just a few minutes, the tide of people has already poured over, when they approached the courtyard of ten thousand families, began to disperse, overwhelming, extremely spectacular.

The workers on the city wall looked at the more and more victims, and they could only wait for the moment of confrontation.

In fact, at this time, it was too late to even run, because under the city wall were dense workers and disaster victims, and they couldn't see the overwhelming mob outside, crowded together layer by layer, forming a thick human wall.

It's close!

It's getting closer!

Suddenly, the sky was dark, and the bricks flew all over the sky, and the people of thousands of families were caught off guard, and their heads were smashed and bleeding, and the workers on the city wall and the victims of the disaster who cleared the wasteland were also affected.

Fortunately, after a burst of bricks, the situation suddenly reversed.

The shouting mob let out a scream, it turned out that most of those mobs did not have any good shoes, in this cold season, some of the shoes were soaked in water and had rotted, stepped on the sharp porcelain pieces on the ground, and immediately pierced, and the feet were dripping with blood, and they screamed in pain.
