Li Yu looked at Chen Yaohui seriously, "Uncle, it's not that I'm too worried, but that group of people are definitely not ordinary refugees but a group of bandits. It's best not to let down your guard, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences. "

Seeing Li Yu's serious look, Chen Yaohui began to take it seriously, "Okay, I'll go tell them right now."

When Li Yu returned home, Zhou Jia and Li Qing saw Li Yu's solemn expression and asked worriedly: "Yu'er, (sister) what happened?"

Li Yu told Zhou Jia what he saw at the entrance of the village, and looked at Zhou Jia and Li Qing with a frown, "How long has it been? They dared to sleep while on duty, and they still had something to say. He said that Zhaocai Brother and the others were still guarding him anyway."

After hearing this, Li Qing said angrily: "Sister, you and your husband have shouldered too much for them, and they think it is natural for them to take it for granted. After this incident is over, you should stop interfering in the affairs of the village!"

Zhou Jiaye said slowly: "The older generation still knows the importance, but the younger ones will no longer know. Xiaoyu, I think A Qing is right. We should stay less involved in the affairs of the village in the future, so as not to make things worse." They think it’s natural for us to help the village.”

Li Yu nodded and rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm going to take a nap. If you need anything, call me."

Brother Yang and Yang Chun returned to the forest with their bows and arrows, selected a few people, and began to teach them how to practice archery.

A group of people practiced in the forest for a few days. Brother Yang and Yang Chun quietly went to the foot of the mountain outside Fengming Village. After looking around, they found that there were two entrances to the west of the village, but those two entrances had been occupied by the villagers. People have blocked it with earth walls, and the only way to enter the village is through the village entrance or the two low mountain passes.

Brother Yang praised Yang Chun, "It's a really good place, but it's not easy for us to grab it."

Yang Chun looked at Brother Yang and said tentatively: "Brother Yang, why don't we forget it!"

Brother Yang said in a deep voice: "Forget it! Those people died in vain. Who will follow us in the future? Convince us, go back and prepare, prepare. We must snatch this over."

Yang Chun had no choice but to follow Brother Yang back to the woods.

Brother Yang returned to the forest and asked someone to chop some sticks and sharpen them with a machete. He selected a dozen men with good arm strength to come out and said to them: "You need to practice hard when you take the sticks and poke the mound behind.

"Okay." A dozen men went to practice poking at the mound with wooden sticks.

After another two days of preparation, at midnight a few days before the Great Cold Festival, Brother Yang gathered all the people together and said to the bandits who were practicing digging mounds: "There are two entrances to the west of that village. Now It's blocked by an earth wall. While we go up to fight them, you can quietly go over and cut open the earth wall at the foot of the mountain."

A dozen bandits responded loudly: "We remember it."

Brother Yang divided the remaining more than a hundred people into two groups and said to the bandit on the left: "Remember the people on the left. Follow me to the outside of the village later. We will go into the village and detain the people at the entrance of the village. Yang Chun, take the lead." Let the people on the right follow Dashan and the others, wait for them to open the earthen wall, and enter the village together. We will attack from inside and outside to avenge our dead brothers."

Yang Chun took the lead and shouted: "Kill them all and avenge our brothers." Others also shouted.

Brother Yang raised his hand and said: "Okay, everyone, grab your own guys and set off."

Some of the more than a hundred bandits were carrying machetes, a few were carrying bows and arrows and carrying planks of wood, and a dozen or so were carrying wooden sticks and marched toward Fengming Village in a mighty manner.

Jixiang and Zhaocai led several long-term workers, and Chen Yaohui led Chen Zhong, a total of about thirty people, to guard the entrance of the village.

Brother Yang led the people to the entrance of the village and asked them to find a few stones to hold. A group of people walked towards the entrance.

Jixiang was sitting in the shed behind the earthen wall with his eyes closed and his legs crossed. Suddenly he heard a faint sound of footsteps and jumped up, "The bandits are coming."

After hearing this, the long-term worker rang the gong and ran towards the village.

The two teams, Zhaocai and Chen Yaohui, also stood up and looked down from the low hill. Zhaocai shouted to Chen Yaohui: "It seems that Jixiang has discovered the bandit."

When the villagers heard the sound of the gong, they all picked up their machetes and ran towards the entrance of the village.

Li Yu got up and picked up the hand crossbow and quiver placed by the bedside and ran toward the entrance of the village. When Li Yu saw Li Yu leaving, he also followed him with a machete.

Li Yu arrived at the entrance of the village and saw the bandits holding stones and throwing them on the ground. After the stones rolled past, they walked forward without seeing the trap. They rolled as they walked. In the end, the stones rolled out and hit the traps, and all the traps fell. exposed.

When Brother Yang saw that the trap was smashed, he waved his hands happily and said with a smile: "Bring the planks and lay them down, let's rush over."

The bandit carrying the plank quickly laid the plank on top of the trap and shouted excitedly, "Brother Yang, this is a good idea."

Li Yu saw the bandits rushing through the trap and waved his hand, "Trebuchet, start the fight."

Chen Zhong let go of the rope, and the stone bullets flew towards the bandits, hitting several people. Brother Yang looked at the stone bullets and exclaimed: "Trebuchet, everyone, please move away quickly."

The bandit Queen Zhang retreated. After retreating to the back, Brother Yang shouted to a few people holding bows: "You guys spread out and shoot arrows into the door."

After hearing this, the four bandits holding bows raised their bows and shot at Li Yu and the others.

Ji Xiang swung his long knife and knocked the arrow to the ground. Brother Yang looked at the trebuchet behind the wooden door and thought to himself: The people living in the village must not be ordinary people. It is definitely not possible to attack them hard. They can only wait for the earth wall to break open and catch them by surprise.

The bandit looked at Brother Yang and said worriedly: "Brother Yang, what should I do if I can't get in?"

Brother Yang said with a sinister smile: "Let them be proud for a while longer, and we will hold them here until the earth wall is cut open and then we can go in and deal with them."

The dozen or so men were holding machetes and sticks. When they arrived in front of the earth wall, most of them held up their machetes and poked at the earth wall with their sticks. Only one bandit used the tip of the stick to dig into the earth wall. After digging in, he broke the wood. The stick pried loose the soil, pulled up the stick and dug in again, going over and over again to dig hard at one place.

Li Yu saw the bandits standing in the distance neither advancing nor retreating. He suddenly thought of the earth wall, looked at Jixiang and asked, "Is there anyone guarding the earth wall?"

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, "I don't know, I'll go take a look."

"Go quickly, I will come soon," Li Yu turned to look at Li Qing, "Ah Qing, go and call Ruyi to guard here."

"Okay." Li Qing ran towards the short hill where Ruyi was guarding.

Zhou Jia had arrived at Ruyi's place with a bow on his back and said to Ruyi: "Ruyi, I'll stay here and you can go to the girl to help."

Ruyi glanced at Zhou Jia, nodded, "Master, you must be careful." After saying that, he ran away.

Ruyi met Li Qing halfway and screamed, "Ah Qing, why are you here too? Go home quickly."

"I don't, I want to go with you. Brother Ruyi and Brother Jixiang have gone to the earth wall. My sister asked you to go over and guard the gate."

"I just went to the entrance of the village," Ruyi asked as he ran, "Are there no people left behind the earthen wall?" Li Qing chased Ruyi, "It seems not."

When the two of them arrived in front of the wooden gate at the entrance of the village, Li Yu said to Ruyi, "You stay here and I'll go over and take a look."

"I know, please be careful." Ruyi waited for Li Yu to leave and climbed up the earth wall with her bow. Looking at the bandits in the distance, she always felt that something was wrong.
