This time King Jing attacked in a hurry, and part of Xie Hong's food and grass was burned.

He will not be so short of food in the future, and will be escorted by a team of thousands of people. Even if they have crossbows, it will not be so easy to snatch them.

Lin Shucheng listened to his daughter's analysis and slapped the table: "Okay, let's do it like this."

Tian Quan was tied up, and several people from the village came over to stare at him.

Lin Jinyue and her family discussed countermeasures with the village chief.

Based on Tian Quan's words, Lin Jinyue briefly drew maps of several nearby villages and towns.

Tian Quan was a scout. Since Xie Hong was in urgent need of food and grass, nearby cities had no time to prepare. If there were more soldiers and horses transporting food and grass, the consumption on the road would increase. Therefore, the magistrate of Nanzhi County only sent 150 people. transport.

They heard that some of King Jing's troops had sneaked into Lingnan, so they asked Tian Quan to go to the front to help with the investigation. If there was danger, they would send a message back as soon as possible.

The people from Yunhe Village shot too quickly and directly shot Tian Quan in the arm, preventing him from setting off the smoke bomb.

Lin Jinyue suggested: "The opponent should have horses, 150 people, and weapons. Even if everyone uses crossbows together, they may not be able to hit 100% of the shots. It is too far away from Nanzhi County, so the first choice for them to move reinforcements should be Nan'an County, so let's set a trap on the only way they can go to Nan'an County, and send a few more people to block them."

As she spoke, she marked two places on the map.

Make a trap in one place and catch the fish that slipped through the net in another place.

Thinking of the farm, Lin Jinyue said: "Try to hurt the people but not the horses. We still have to let the horses pull the cart."

A few people made a simple plan, and Lin Xueqing led a group of people there.

Lin Jinyue didn't want to work in vain.

She then said to the villagers: "Our family wants all these horses. We will sell them for silver. We will keep two horses and exchange the rest for silver and add them to the village silver."

Many people know that Lin Jinyue's farm has signed a confidentiality agreement with the system.

Knowing that horses grow and breed five times faster on the farm than outside, I naturally agreed, even without any money.

Anyway, Erya won’t treat them badly!

The villagers hurriedly said: "That's natural."

"Besides, without Erya's drawings, how could we dare to fight these officers and soldiers?"

Lin Jinyue quickly reached a consensus with the villagers.

The villagers dug a hole on the road ten miles away from the village. It didn't have to be very deep, and it was a small road. After a while, a large hole was dug two meters long and one meter and a half wide.

The women cut down nearby bamboos, sharpened them and buried them.

When the time comes, they will ride on horseback to look for reinforcements. In a panic, they will definitely jump into this trap.

This was not over yet. Several families gathered together hemp ropes and twisted them together. Two strong men lurked in the bushes on both sides. If they could break through this trap, they would never have thought that there was another one waiting behind them.

After arranging everything, Lin Shucheng, Lin Xueqing, Lin Fugui and several other strong men in the village rushed towards the place Tian Quan said.

They were short of manpower and were really cautious. More than a hundred people were sitting on the roadside seemingly enjoying the cool weather, but in fact they were watching the situation nearby and waiting for Tian Quan to come back to report.

In the woods not far away, they saw several men in red clothes and leather armor guarding a pile of haystacks.

If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell.

They were divided into two groups, which was convenient for Lin Xueqing and the others.

He gave an order, and several men with crossbows shot arrows at them. They did not hit their vital points, and they all aimed at their legs.

Lin Xueqing was very accurate and shot several people in the legs at once.

They howled in pain.

Lin Shucheng was not to be outdone and soon shot the two of them.

The remaining Lin Fugui and the others were in a hurry. Although they were not very accurate, they were still tied up.

The movement here quickly alarmed the people in the forest.

Three people got on their horses and ran towards Nan'an County. A dozen people were protecting the food and grass and preparing to go back. The remaining twenty people drew their swords and were ready to rush over to trouble Lin Shucheng.

Lin Shucheng had long thought that they would transport the grain and grass away, and five or six young men from the village rushed towards them carrying hoes and shovels.

For a while, the two sides faced off, and no one dared to make the first move.

Lin Shucheng continued to fire arrows at them. Even if there were more than a hundred people on the other side, they would not be able to fight back against the crossbow arrows.

The men were quickly brought down by crossbow bolts.

Lin Fugui and the others quickly tied the man up and picked up the arrows on the ground.

Lin Xueqing cut these out one by one. They can be used later, but they cannot be wasted.

Lin Shucheng said to the ten or so people who were left protecting the food and grass: "We are not making things difficult for you, you are just stuttering. Raise your hands and surrender. We will not harm your lives, but if there is a fight, the sword has no eyes..."

Lin Xueqing and the others' crossbow arrows were pointed at the dozens of people, and those dozens didn't dare to mess around anymore. They threw their knives on the ground and raised their hands, not daring to mess around.

After tying them up, Lin Fugui and the others counted the grain and found that there was more than expected. One hundred and fifty people rushed to transport fifty carts of grain.

Because there was too much food and grass, a few fish slipped through the net accidentally.

It was getting dark now, and there were woods everywhere, so I couldn't see clearly.

But it was already this time, and Lin Jinyue didn't bother to care about those who ran away. Xie Hong was now fighting with Prince Jing, so she had no time to care about anything else.

But, what she didn't expect was.

Just as her father and brother led a team to kidnap the 140 people away, dozens of people from the village who came to watch the excitement pulled the cart and ran forward as hard as they could, fearing that there would be pursuers behind them. .

These days, the common people are afraid of officials, and they are somewhat weak-minded, not to mention that they have just robbed the official.

When they make plans, they all rush forward with fierce energy.

After robbing them, I always felt uneasy. After robbing their food and grass, would their group be wanted, and would Xie Hong lead troops to kill them in the future.

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I ran for several miles with the carriage's provisions in one breath.

When I saw the familiar majestic city walls, the guards standing guard on the walls, the concrete roads and the bustling villages...

The group of people immediately felt relieved.

Now they are no longer afraid of these officials. The escort team can beat them down!

To be honest, these dozens of people usually work in the workshop day and night. For a moment, they really didn't realize how powerful their village has become.

Lin Jinyue was thinking about the injured horses that could not be taken away, and wondered how to bring them back.

She thought for a while and said to those who had not signed a confidentiality agreement with the farm: "Take these people back to recuperate. After they are recuperated, they can work for the village."

After these people left, Lin Jinyue waved her hand and directly put the horse into the space.

Jiang Yun also came over and quickly entered the farm to bandage the horse's wounds.

When Lin Jinyue went back, she saw that many of the more than a hundred people transporting food and grass were injured.
