Someone from the village asked, and the old man nodded." I guess so. I originally thought that if we scare them away, or if we stick around for a few days, they would definitely retreat. But now it seemed that ... It was best to find a way to leave them all behind and kill them all. Otherwise, the villagers elsewhere were not as well prepared as us. As long as they encountered these barbarians and had no resistance, their families would be destroyed. "
Everyone's hearts were lifted when they heard this.although they had killed two barbarians earlier, they were still lucky.they barbarians didn' t step forward, but they couldn' t do anything to each other.
The old man's thoughts naturally occupied the word" benevolence and righteousness," but ...
"Forget it, forget it," the old man said with regret. He waved his hand and said," I was overthinking it. Let's stay at home for the time being and make sure that the barbarians can' t take any further steps. If we have the spare energy, we can go back to the villages and villagers. "
"Yes, old man. "
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and replied," don' t worry, old master. These barbarians are too stupid. They might be waiting in line to drown in the moat tomorrow. "
"Ha ha ha, that's great, save me the trouble of killing. "
Everyone laughed. After eating two pieces of snacks and drinking a bowl of hot tea, they dispersed and went on patrol or to sleep.
The fort was vigilant and busy outside. Under such circumstances, the sky finally lit up.
The darkness faded away, and the enemy and I could see each other clearly.
The helmets and armour, the tall and ferocious mounts, are like the fierce tigers facing the sheep, ready to jump up and open their mouths. The light reflected the sunlight. Not only was it not as bright as snow, but it was also slightly dark red. It was unknown if it had eaten the blood of innocent people. Even the horses had helmets on their heads and sharp spikes on their heads. If they were to collide at a high speed, they would definitely be able to penetrate a person.
Everyone in the fort subconsciously held their breath and looked extremely solemn. Just as the old man had guessed, this mount was definitely not an ordinary one. Ordinary horsemen could not have such sophisticated armor and weapons. After all, the grassland wasn' t so rich, and only the most elite barbarians could get such preferential treatment.
Fortunately, everyone prepared early and hid in the fort. Otherwise, they wouldn' t have to face the thousands of riders. Just a dozen or so people would be enough to kill the village!
At this moment, everyone was extremely scared and extremely thankful!
The barbarian cavalry on the other side finally saw the full picture of the fort.
Drawbridge, moat, watchtower, battlements ...
If they hadn' t seen it with their own eyes, it was hard to believe that there was such a war fort hidden in the countryside of greater vietnam. Said it was the small mountain pass, that's about it.
And they secretly entered the customs, just to disturb the greater and greater hinterland, and by the way to inquire about the greater the people's situation, if you can break through the inner and outer pass, it would be better. Who would have thought that she would just grab a" tongue" and ask about the treasure of beimao? The" tongue" was stunned and said a bunch of nonsense. However, the chief was interested in the simple literacy and algorithm popular in beimao, so he had to catch the two gentlemen.
Thus, they met a strange village, a small war fort.
"Interesting! The barbarian leader raised his hand and took off his helmet.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the barbarian beside him said," there must be something strange about this village. This fortress looks like it's newly built." How did they know we were going to sneak in, or was it a coincidence? "
The barbarian glanced at the corpses of his companions who had not yet been snatched back from the mud in the distance.he whined and howled incessantly, his expression turning ferocious as he replied in a low voice," chief, no matter what, we' ll flatten this place. Otherwise, how will our bloodwolves continue to look at the grassland in the future? If word got out, I' m afraid I won' t be able to see anyone again! "
The blue-eyed leader naturally understood this, but it did not prevent him from becoming more interested in the little fort.
"Go, grab two more tongues. "
"Yes, chief. "
The two groups of barbarians split their horses and ran out. The rest of them continued to add the branches and stones that had been cut back into the mud.
The mud was only overflowing when the water was released, and the paddy fields were submerged, so it wasn' t too deep.
In less than an hour, a two-foot-wide road had been laid out and was about to approach the moat.
The old man was strict with the barbarians and went to cut down trees. Although the moat was wide and deep, it was definitely not as easy to bury as the mud, but he couldn' t just sit around and wait to die.
So he commanded them to go up to the stone-throwing machine.
Whenever a rider comes forward, a catapult is launched.
However, the crowd was unfamiliar with each other and it was the first time they had fought each other. They were really nervous. The accuracy of the catapult was very poor, which made the barbarian mount bold again. He even pointed to the moat and asked everyone to throw stones into it to make it easier for them to replenish.
Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do for a moment.
Jiao Jiao was also anxious to see it. After thinking for a while, he whispered something to grandpa. At last, she lay on the wall and looked at the barbarian on the other side, secretly calculating the distance. Then, she put her little hand behind her back and waved it from time to time.
Every time she waved, the old man ordered everyone," throw the stones, fire! "
Every time a dozen stones were fired, they would double when they fell from the sky, and it was no longer pointless. At least half of them looked as if they had eyes on the barbarians.
A cup of tea was fired seven or eight times, and a dozen more barbarians were thrown down.
The village was bursting with cheers and almost toppled the fort. The old man was overjoyed as he carried his granddaughter up and down.
Jiao Jiao's face was flushed with excitement. Although they were on defense, they did not have much ability to attack. However, as long as the walls were protected and stones were used as weapons, they could ensure that the barbarians could not easily get close to them.
The barbarian riders stole into hanshan pass without backup and went deep into the hinterland. They certainly did not dare to stay for long. Therefore, as long as they persevered for three to five days, they would definitely retreat. By then, everyone would be safe.
As expected, the leader of the barbarian cavalry once again ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers. Two of the injured barbarian riders were taken back, leaving seven or eight dead. At this point, without hurting a great yue, they had lost more than a dozen of them.
This was an unprecedented" defeat." Not to mention the howling of the barbarians, they wished they could eat the fort alive. Even the leader of the barbarian cavalry also looked like he was joking, and his eyes were filled with coldness!
Soon, a barbarian came running back and grabbed the father and son's two" tongues." The leader of the barbarian mount directly cut off one of his father's arms. When the saber was placed on his father's leg, the son couldn' t care less about anything and asked whatever he wanted.
Therefore, the leader of the barbarian mount knew all about the lin family's village, the lin family's courtyard and the lin family's precious daughter.
When the son saw his father's blood running down the river, he cried and begged," please let my father go. I didn' t lie. What I said is true! "
The barbarian leader raised his hand and directly wiped his father's neck. "
