Tian Xia tried his best to shout: "Everyone, don't mess up! Take your positions according to the positions assigned before! The elderly, women and children all go to Liji's house! Don't worry! The first round of attack will only be a test, and you must not mess up your own position!"

Manyo looked at the anti-horse fence and the mud field that had been set up earlier, waiting for the bandits to enter his field of vision.

The bandits sped forward along the winding village road, only to find that fortifications had really been set up outside the village to resist them.

They reined in and looked at each other, not knowing what to exchange.

While they stopped, Wan Ye counted the number of bandits.

The thieves seemed to have discussed with each other, then split into two paths, turned their horses around, and galloped away in different directions.One group walked south through the fields in the village, while the other group circled back to the mountains.

Manyo dismounted from the temporary watchtower and rushed towards Tanashita and Hideyoshi.

"Twenty riders went to the back mountain. I guess they will take the trail. Thirteen riders went to the south of the village... and there are two firecrackers, one on each side."

Tian Xia pondered and said: "The path has already been arranged, so the focus is still on the south of the village."

Hideyoshi nodded consciously, took the knife at hand and went to the south of the village.

Tian Shita looked back at Wan Ye: "Report anytime if there is anything."

Wan Ye nodded seriously.

He returned to the watchtower, and the twenty riders heading for the back mountain had already penetrated into the layered forest of the back mountain.Farmers have lived here for generations, and no one knows it better than them.The traps and obstacles they set up in the woods are probably enough for a bandit to drink a pot.

The bandits walking south seemed to be hesitant. The commander thought he was not very smart, so he sent two people to scout the way ahead cautiously.A man got off his horse and measured the depth of the quagmire with a whip.

Wan Ye narrowed his eyes, this distance...although it is a bit far from the person in the front, but if the range of the firecracker...

Sure enough, as he expected, the next moment, a loud noise came from the south of the village, and the bandit with a whip in his hand froze for a moment, then fell straight to the ground.The other person was startled, and ran back stumblingly, and a group of people fled.

I guess it's time to change direction.Manyo observed for a while, then went down to find Tianshita.

"East of the village, twelve riders."

"Twelve knights?" Tian Xia frowned, "It shouldn't be thirteen..."

"Someone used a firecracker to kill one." Manyo said briefly.

Tian Xia couldn't help but smiled: "There are so many capable people..."

Who fired the shot?There are obviously many possibilities, but Ying's figure can't help but appear in Wanye's mind.

Will it be her?

The one who always surprises him?

**

That shot was indeed fired.

At this moment, she was carrying the firecracker with the barrel still slightly hot on her shoulder, responding to the angry and questioning gaze of her titular father with a provocative gaze.

"You...how can you...how dare you..." The old village head who has been obedient and submissive all his life finally shouted.

Ying pressed the brim of her hat, breathed nonchalantly, and gave him a provocative smile.

"There's a lot you don't know, Dad."

"You..." The village chief looked very angry, leaned closer to her, and lowered his voice to reprimand in her ear, "What are you showing off here!"

Ying rolled her eyes.

It is true that the village chief in front of him is a father who cares about his daughter.

But he is not a good father.

Playing the role of the village chief's daughter, Ying naturally knew how she was "protected" by her father.

For her future, he always trained her to be a good wife and mother, but never listened to what she wanted; for her safety, he forcibly cut off her long-cherished long hair, but turned a blind eye to her pain.

In the final analysis, what he thinks is "for her good" is just the gaze and exploitation of the patriarchal society.He never saw her as a separate personality.

Ying smacked her lips and shook her finger at the father: "There are many things you can't think of."

"You!" The village chief raised his hand, reflexively wanting to slap her.

Ying raised the barrel of the gun with a "swipe", and accurately pressed the muzzle against the opponent's hand.

"Before doing it, think about what I have in my hand." She said slowly.

"How did you become like this!" The village chief's hands trembled violently, "Shameless!"

Ying sneered: "Shameless? Wait until I let you know what shamelessness is!"

After all, she still has a plot of her own to go.

Unintentionally continuing to entangle with this petrified father, Ying put the firecracker on her shoulder again and walked towards the east of the village.

The bandits had just been scared away by her shooting, and their next target would probably be in the east, where there were several waterwheels and huts left behind by them retreating into the village...

**

The fire was raging.

In order to vent their anger, the bandits set fire to those houses and waterwheels.

Perhaps it was also to retaliate against them lighting up their gates last night.

This is the signal to retreat.

Wan Ye thought.

It is impossible for the bandits to launch an attack today. They came this time to find out the details of the village so that they can go back and formulate strategies.Lighting the waterwheel was the signal to retreat, because even if they returned empty-handed, they would have to demonstrate.

A hazy mist rose from the river, covering the burning half of the sky with a thin veil.Wan Ye looked at it in a daze, as if it was another world.

A bonfire was lit around.

The fog was so thick that it was impossible to observe the surroundings.Manyo sighed and had to get down from the watchtower.

"Is there any movement?" Tianxia asked him.

Wan Ye shook his head.

"You must not slack off." Tian Xia arranged in a deep voice, "They will most likely send a small team to attack us in order to catch us off guard."

"Notify Zheping, advance the front line." He turned his head and said to Manyo, "Get near the anti-horse fence, we will catch them by surprise."

Zheping is to the east.

When Wan Ye arrived, he happened to hear a loud noise.

Another firecracker.He was startled, but he didn't know whether it was the other party or his own who fired the shot.

There was no one at the post that was supposed to be stationed.Wan Ye squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found a little spark that had not dissipated beside the anti-horse fence.

Have they reached the horse fence?That was prescient enough.

Wan Ye suppressed the doubts in her heart and ran over.

Ying happened to turn around with a gun in her hand.

Looking at each other, she was the first to show a smile: "Hi! I haven't seen you for a while!"

Manyo looked at her in surprise.

She was dressed in a bunt, wearing a useless grass armor, and her body was covered with mud. She looked like she had crawled and rolled in the ground. The lowered brim of the hat covered her blonde hair, and it also properly concealed her beauty. His facial features, only the white teeth that are revealed when he smiles, cannot be ignored in the night.

she is so beautiful.

Although it was strange, Manyo's brain reflected such a message.

"Uh..." He opened his mouth, unable to make a sound for a while.

"Don't worry, the situation here is under control. There are not many bandits coming. We can handle five or six people. I'm afraid the main battlefield is not on our side."

Yingyu quickly explained the current situation.

Wan Ye nodded, knowing that now is not the time to chat, turned and left.

"There is no problem in the east." He reported to Tianxia.

Tian Xia nodded and looked down at the map: "Just now Hideyoshi also came to report. They retreated in a hurry on the west and north sides, and there were not many people. It seems that the mountain road to the south will be their focus."

Wan Ye nodded.

"Is it possible to attack tonight...it's not very likely. The terrain in the south is complicated. Even if they can figure it out, there will be a lot of potential dangers in the darkness. I have to go."

He got up and left, with Manyo following behind.

The south...is the direction my friend is in charge of.

"How about it?"

After arriving with Tianxia, ​​Wanye saw that the team on his friend's side was neatly lined up. They were obviously lazy farmers two days ago, but now they look like soldiers.

"There is no movement." The friend replied with a frown.

"Looks like it's here." Tian Xia nodded affirmatively.

"I'm coming!"

Manyo turned his head, and Hideyoshi ran over panting, holding a scarecrow in armor one person tall in his arms.

"Liji's family moved here, and the women did exactly as required, even better than I imagined."

He patted the Scarecrow's chest with a firm thud.

He ran to the wall built in front and lowered himself down. He stretched the scarecrow out of the wall and swayed slightly, making it look like a real person.The bonfire illuminated its black armor, attracting most eyes, but obliterating the features and limbs in the darkness.

"Dang" sound.

Wanye was already familiar with that sound, it was the loud sound of the firecracker being pulled.

Hideyoshi controlled the scarecrow to tremble, as if he had been shot.

There was another sound.

The scarecrow couldn't hold on, and fell down completely.

Then came the cheers of bandits.

"They're just sitting on the sidelines..." Tianxia simply sat on the ground and spread out the map, "Tomorrow they will launch a strong attack from here, we have to let a few in first, and catch the turtles in the urn...Let them reduce their numbers one by one, and finally fight it out .If necessary, a few people can be transferred from each of the other three shifts."

Hideyoshi nodded deeply.

Wan Ye was a little worried: "Fire gun..."

Tian Xia sighed: "Although we have already got one, they still have two, which is always a big problem. So why the other three shifts can only transfer a few people, not all of them, because they can't relax, After all, there are two firecrackers, and they may not all be pressed here in the south..."

"I go."

The friend who had been silent for a long time spoke.

Wan Ye glared at him.

"I'll go get one back."

As soon as the words were finished, the friend walked away, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Manyo wanted to say something, but didn't have time.

He took a few steps forward, looked at the dark woods, and heard a few long cries of birds in his ears.

Everyone looked up at the back mountain in silence.
