EBE Chapter 199 Escape
Chapter 199 Escape
The government troops approached little by little and soon reached Kaoshan Village.
But it suddenly stopped 100 meters away from Kaoshan Village.
Lord Liu, who was sitting in the carriage, walked out, stood there, and looked towards Kaoshan Village.
I also feel that Kaoshan Village is somewhat remarkable.
A small village actually built a city wall, which seemed safer than the town under his jurisdiction.
I don't know who came up with this idea.
"Old Zhai, go over there and call out their village chief!"
Lord Liu pointed at a man at random, the man named Lao Zhai, who followed Lord Liu's instructions and moved closer to Kaoshan Village little by little.
When I got closer and was about to knock on the door, a voice suddenly came from above the gate of the mountain village.
"Don't come any closer, or we'll be rude to you!"
Old Zhai then looked up. There was a watchtower on one side of the gate. Several people were standing in the watchtower, including men, women, and children of all kinds.
Old Zhai couldn't help but laugh. Just like that, he still said he would be rude to them?
Do you really treat these people as bean sprouts?
"Why are you being so rude? Don't you know who we are? The one standing in the front is Lord Liu, the acting county magistrate of Ping'an County. We are all officials. Quickly open the city gate and ask your village chief to come and greet you in person! Otherwise, Lord Liu, the acting county magistrate, will punish you for disrespect!!"
Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt that this man's words were very ironic. If it weren't for the two soldiers who suddenly came today, Village Chief Ma, a good person, would not have disappeared just like that.
At this time, they even wanted Village Chief Ma to come out and greet them.
I really want them to kneel in front of Village Chief Ma’s grave and see how Village Chief Ma will welcome them.
"Humph! You guys want to see our village chief Ma? You're dreaming. What are you doing here? Are you here to plunder like bandits, or to rob people? I tell you, as long as there is one person alive in Kaoshan Village, we will never let you set foot in Kaoshan Village."
Tao Siyuan has completely regarded himself as a member of Kaoshan Village, so at this moment he is also standing on the perspective of Kaoshan Village to confront the officers and soldiers!
Old Zhai's face turned red when he heard this. He was very angry that the people of Kaoshan Village were disrespectful to them, the officers and soldiers.
But what the people in Kaoshan Village said was true. Didn’t they come here to rob on the orders of Liu Da’s men?
Whether they were looting silver or robbing women and children, they were really like bandits.
This was the first time in his life that he felt so embarrassed about his current identity.
Lord Liu, who was standing not far away, also heard what the man standing on the lookout tower of Kaoshan Village said.
At this moment, the anger has reached the top of my head!
He had never seen an ordinary citizen dare to be so disrespectful to him!
"Old Zhai, come back.
"These people are not willing to accept my toast. Gather everyone and attack them. Take them all down. I will then submit a petition to the court, saying that the people of Kaoshan Village are plotting a rebellion. Let's see how arrogant they are."
The battle was about to break out, Xia Shengsheng waved his hand to signal everyone to get ready.
In this turbulent time, when the enemy invasion came like an unexpected guest, the entire village had to quickly change roles.
From a peaceful pastoral life to a temporary defensive fortress.
We have to arrange defenses and attack at this time, otherwise these people will not be as easy to deal with as the victims of the disaster.
The villagers of Kaoshan Village, ordinary people who make a living by farming on weekdays, have also trained themselves to become powerful characters step by step in this chaotic world.
They can now fully understand every gesture of Xia Shengsheng and cooperate perfectly.
Under the intimidation of Lord Liu, the officers and soldiers outside took up their spears and attacked Kaoshan Village little by little.
Xia Shengsheng watched them until they approached the point, then raised his hand and ordered the arrows to be released.
Countless arrows were instantly fired from Kaoshan Village.
Many of them penetrated directly into the bodies of the officers and soldiers, but most of them were blocked by the empty space or the officers and soldiers with guns.
what……
pain……
Shouts came one after another, and the formation of the officers and soldiers became a little messy in an instant.
Lord Liu's legs were shaking as he stood behind and watched.
He didn't expect that the people in Kaoshan Village were so brave that they dared to shoot arrows at them.
But this aroused his desire to win even more.
"All of you, come at me, you useless bastards. If anyone dares to desert, I will arrest all your families when I return. Come on, capture Kaoshan Village and do not retreat..."
Most of the families of these officers and soldiers lived in the county town. Unlike the officer who escaped, they had no relatives around and so were not afraid.
They were afraid that if they did not listen to Lord Liu at this moment, Lord Liu would retaliate against their families after returning to the county, so they had no choice but to attack Kaoshan Village under a hail of arrows.
The attackers took thick wooden stakes and worked together to beat on the gate.
The young and strong villagers stood at the front line, listening to the sound of the gate being knocked on bit by bit, their eyes were determined, ready to fight the invaders in hand-to-hand combat.
Tao Siyuan was no less capable and ran down from the watchtower, fighting alongside all the villagers.
Ye Chao and Er Cheng were also shooting arrows at the soldiers who were attacking the gate of Ji Village.
One soldier fell to the ground and another took his place.
The door was hit little by little and already had some signs of being broken.
Xia Shengsheng stood on the watchtower, providing strategic guidance and using his rich experience to increase the chances of winning in this unequal battle.
The female villagers did not hide at home either, and also played an indispensable role. After they settled down, the elderly and children in their homes picked up any weapons they could use at home and joined the battle.
The gate was hit little by little, and suddenly, the whole gate tilted inward, and the first line of defense had been breached.
Lord Liu seemed to be blood-thirsty at the moment, not caring about what his original purpose was.
He just stood at the back and shouted, "Go, go, kill them, regardless of gender, age or status!
Dare to go against me, I will let you know how powerful I am!! "
Everyone rushed forward, and a fight broke out between the soldiers and the villagers. Xia Shengsheng told the two children to protect their own safety, and then joined the battle with everyone else.
Facing the enemy's attack, Xia Shengsheng led the villagers to use the terrain advantages and flexible tactics to launch an effective resistance.
They set traps and implemented guerrilla tactics, and despite their poor equipment, they successfully slowed the enemy's advance with their familiarity with the terrain and their desire for victory.
However, the cruelty of war cannot be underestimated. Although everyone was fully prepared, many people were still injured.
But the officers and soldiers did not gain any benefits either. Although the villagers were not strong in fighting, they had Xia Shengsheng and some guards from the Xia family who knew martial arts.
When dealing with hundreds of officers and soldiers, we didn't let them gain any advantage.
The officers and soldiers were beaten back step by step, and finally, the villagers drove all the officers and soldiers out of the village.
And some will never be able to leave the village.
Facing his subordinates who were driven out and staggering.
Lord Liu was furious, but he also knew that he was already at a disadvantage and could not stay here any longer, otherwise he would get hurt.
So they quickly sent people to flee in a horse-drawn carriage.
He didn't even send a retreat signal to his subordinates behind him.
