Parents are busy farming

Chapter 160 The Battle Begins

Heavy raindrops fell, one by one, hitting people's faces, which was a little painful and a little cold.

Zhang Gaoyi felt much relieved when he saw it was raining, because he saw several of those people throwing torches into the wheat field.

Soon the wheat field was on fire, and when the strong wind blew, the fire spread.

He didn't dare to tell the people below him, in case Ye Zifen was worried.

By the time those people arrived in front of Zhuangzi, it had already turned into heavy rain. Under the rain curtain, except Zhang Gaoyi who put on a raincoat, the others hid as much as possible in places that could protect them from the rain.

The fire that had just started in the distance was quickly extinguished by heavy rain.

It’s just that the sound of gongs has been heard from several surrounding villages.

Zhang Gaoyi also took advantage of this time to learn a few bird calls.

Everyone knew that those people were going to take action, so they began to prepare for it!

After the people stood still, one of them made a gesture, and the people immediately dispersed and went to several places in the Zhuangzi. They took out their hooks and threw them into the places where they could grab hold of the Zhuangzi.

Such as big trees, such as raised eaves.

But they didn't expect that people had been ambushed in these places. When they climbed up, the ropes on the hooks were cut off.

Then there were several screams.

The corners of Ye Zifen's mouth curled up slightly.

The people outside the door knew that their behavior had been exposed, and one person shouted: "People inside, listen, we are bandits from Funiu Mountain. Open the door and let us in, otherwise we will definitely kill you all." "

Ye Zifen was puzzled and looked at Zhang Huaiyu doubtfully.

Zhang Huaiyu explained to Ye Zifen in a low voice: "A few years ago, a group of bandits suddenly appeared on Funiu Mountain. They burned, killed, and looted without committing any evil. The government officials were no match for them, so they left it alone. The imperial court was sending troops to the northwest, and they didn't have time to deal with them. To think that we are so lucky to be facing them."

Ye Zifen nodded upon hearing this. Funiu Mountain is in Linxian County, so the story of these bandits has not reached the ears of ordinary people like them.

Her heart became much heavier, and her hand holding the stick tightened unconsciously.

Before they could react, those people had already started attacking.

Because Ye Zifen saw someone's head flash past on the wall, but she didn't know if it was because of the oil or because the rain made the wall slippery, and the person fell down again.

Then several screams of "Ah! Ah!" came.

After this time, they have lost more than ten people. Although the people are not dead, they have also lost the ability to fight.

"Attack from the main gate!" Apparently knowing that they had done something to the wall, someone ordered the attack from the main gate.

Ye Zifen said to Zhang Huaiyu: "Let's extinguish the lights in the house, lead these people to the traps, and slowly fight them!"

Zhang Huaiyu nodded immediately after hearing this.

Then he notified the government officials, and soon the inside of Zhuangzi became pitch black.

Ye Zifen also hid with them.

After the men knocked five or six times the door opened.

Zhang Gaoyi frowned.

Those bandits were so strange. They didn't look like ordinary bandits, but looked like well-trained officers and soldiers.

After those people came in, several of them were indeed injured by the farm tools placed there, but a few weeks later, they began to sweep the farm tools aside with their feet.

As soon as Ye Zifen saw it, he suddenly appeared, and then ran quickly to the backyard. Several people saw it and hurriedly chased after it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Huaiyu led a few more people away.

In this way, most of those people were taken away.

After no one showed up, the bandits began to search every house.

As Ye Zifen ran forward, she looked around and saw that she was about to reach the crossbar.

He bent over and ran over, touching the rope of the mechanism above.

Then several people following him were immediately hit by the crossbar and lay on the ground.

At the same time, a big stone fell from the sky and hit their legs.

"Ah!" An unprecedented heart-rending scream came out. Ye Zifen picked out his ears and went over to collect their weapons.

Some were broadswords and some were spears, and Ye Zifen also saw some clues from these weapons.

I thought to myself: ‘It seems the water is very deep! I don’t know which hornet’s nest has been poked! ’

Zhang Huaiyu led the people into a deep pit full of tree stumps.

However, one person did not fall down, but was kicked down by the government servant who came from behind.

Screams were heard, and the bandits chasing behind them were a little more careful and moved back to back towards them.

The yamen officer and Zhang Huaiyu looked at each other in the darkness, and then ran in two directions.

When those people realized something was wrong, they didn't dare to chase. They were about to retreat, but who would have thought that a big net covered them.

Then sticks were thrown on their heads, and several people fell to the ground.

Zhang Huaiyu and the yamen servant walked out of the darkness and felt that the wooden sticks began to hit their arms. After a few blows, their arms were broken and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

The two threw away the sticks in their hands, clapped their hands, and also collected their weapons.

After lifting up the net and fixing it again, he hid aside, ready to take action at any time.

Zhang Gaoyi on the roof would shoot an arrow when he saw someone left alone. Although it was not always a hit, the arrows were deadly, but they also caused heavy losses to them.

Soon, out of the more than 40 people who came, only a dozen remained. However, these dozen people became much more alert and no longer separated and acted together.

The government officials hiding in the dark also gathered together and discussed countermeasures.

Seeing that these bandits were able to act like this, Ye Zifen was even more sure of what he was thinking.

He said to the officials: "Come two people and me to take out the beans from the warehouse. Let's go up to the roof. After we get up, we will knock down the ladder and scatter the beans on the ground. It will depend on who has the endurance."

Because they had been in the dark just now, they didn't get wet much, and their physical strength and body temperature were well preserved, but those people were different.

They have been getting wet since it rained, and they have to be careful of traps.

At the beginning, a dozen people were lost due to carelessness.

Later, after coming in, the troops were dispersed. In addition, it was night and they were already low on energy, so they came all the way.

Even if they are people with excellent physical fitness, I am afraid they are already at the end of their strength.

The government officials nodded and secretly took out the beans from the warehouse.

Then I found the ladder and climbed up to the roofs of several houses one by one. Then I heard the sound of "ding, ding, ding".

The beans had been poured down, and because the roof was too high, some beans bounced up after landing, and then scattered around again.

The bandits heard the noise and immediately looked towards the roof.

There were people standing on the rooftops all around, holding large knives in their hands.

"People from the Yamen?" a person asked.

Zhang Huaiyu said: "Those who know the truth will surrender, otherwise..."

When the man heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he sneered: "Hahaha... It seems that the government officials in your county are still men, much better than the bunch of drunkards and ricebags next door. It's a pity that they will die here today."

Ye Zifen shouted: "So what, it's better than some people who are obviously soldiers of the imperial court but fall into the trap of bandits! I don't know if his family will be forgiven after they find out. Is it only Only by poking out their ancestral graves can we quell the public resentment!"

The people below all had expressions of fear and uneasiness in their eyes.

They started whispering, "How did she figure it out and what should we do?"

The person who spoke just now sneered and said viciously: "What should we do? Of course we won't leave anyone alive!"
