The surrounding wall of Shuitian Village was originally tightly surrounded by two layers of three-meter-high tree trunks. Each tree trunk was buried deep in the soil, and the tops were sharpened. It would be a little bit if you want to climb over or hit hard. It's difficult, so Neiying took advantage of the silence of the night to point the wall.
Not long after, the villagers were awakened by the sudden fire, and they came out to fight the fire with pots and pans. For a while, the whole village was very noisy.
However, Li Zheng and his team lit fires from seven or eight positions on the wall at the same time. When the villagers rushed out, the fire everywhere was not too small. If there is a fire in one place, everyone will work together to extinguish it. But now seven or eight places caught fire, and the fire suddenly broke out. The villagers were still asleep at the moment, and the next moment they rushed to the street, spontaneously scattered to fight the fire, without any dispatch command. Naturally, the villagers allocated seven or eight to different places to fight the fire.
Wan Jingtian and Li Zheng did not set the fire, they took advantage of the chaos and ran to the village gate. There is no mechanism at the village gate. Behind the large wooden gate, there are three or four-meter-long gate bolts across the upper, middle and lower sides. Wan Jingtian and Li Zheng joined forces to remove the three gate bolts and the door opened.
When the door was opened, Wan Jingtian was taken aback: There were already more than forty strong men standing outside the village door, all holding weapons, fierce and vicious, ready to go. This is probably the agreed "inside and outside".
Li Zheng held his fist at the leading square-faced man and said, "Follow the rudder, everything is within the plan, now is a good time to attack Shuitian Village!"
After Wan Jingtian learned that the square-faced man was the sub-rudder who was determined to take down Shuitian Village before, he couldn't help but took a few more glances: a 1.8-meter strong man with strong muscles and a fierce complexion.
The square-faced man noticed Wan Jingtian's gaze, turned his face, and while looking at Wan Jingtian, he pointed at the wide knife in his hand and asked, "Who is this?"
Li Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "The sub-rudder master, this is the water imperial messenger sent by the chief rudder. The water imperial messenger, this is our sub-rudder master Yang Shuo."
After hearing this, Yang Shuo, the sub-rudder master, looked at Wan Jingtian from top to bottom with a puzzled face, and then laughed happily, saying: "The water makes adults really young and promising! He sat in such a high position at a young age. Rare! Rare!"
Wan Jingtian smiled and nodded, and said, "The sub-rudder is praised!"
Li was reminding from the side: "Sir, Lord of the Waters, the time is almost up, we have to take advantage of the chaos to attack!"
Yang Shuo looked at the village and his expression became serious again. He bitterly said: "Damn Shuitian Village, killed my second brother, today I will avenge him! Brothers, drive me in!"
After giving an order, everyone held up their weapons and shouted and swarmed in.
However, the villagers who were fighting the fire with all their heart did not know that the foreign enemy was invading until they met Shi Rongshan and fought in a panic. But with pots and pans, how can they be the opponents of those heavily armed men in the face of a surprise attack?
The most important thing is that although the total number of villagers is several times that of Shi Rongshan, they have been divided into seven or eight groups because of the fire fighting. The groups are separated by a certain distance. Slowly speaking, they came to support. Just saying that it would take some time to perceive the fight elsewhere in the sensual chaos. The Shi Rongshan guys are different. They are united, and wherever they go, they are crushed.
Only two people did not participate in the melee. One is Li Zheng and the other is Wan Jingtian.
Li Zheng was born tall and thin. Although he was not sick, he was still in a body that was blown by the wind, so when Wan Jingtian saw Li Zheng in prison for the first time, he guessed that he was not a samurai.
And Wan Jingtian, kidding, this kind of gang fight in the dark night, he can naturally hide. It's not that he is a coward, it's just that he's really a novice Xiaobai now, maybe it's okay to kill a few pheasants, he should step aside for this kind of real fight with people. What's more, his side has obvious advantages, and he has a lot of fighting power.
Li Zheng encouraged Wan Jingtian several times and went to work. Although Wan Jingtian was enthusiastic, he still knew what he was capable of, and insisted on standing at the village gate, which was bad for Li Zheng. Roll your eyes.
Wan Jingtian looked at the melee in the village reflected by the fire and said: "Li Zheng, I think your rudder master is indeed extraordinary and I admire him very much. However, this strategy of attacking the village is even more exciting: the inside and the outside are in harmony with each other. Take it. Although I don't talk much with the sub-rudder, I always feel that this is not like a strategy he can think of."
Li Zheng squinted his eyes and laughed: "The Lord of the Waters really sees it thoroughly. This strategy is indeed a villain and I dedicated to the sub-rudder. My body is too strong for my shoulders and hands. It's only useful for this."
The melee in the village didn't last long, and Yang Shuo won a full victory.
After a while, the villagers of Shuitian Village were pushed out with tied hands and feet.
Yang Shuo swayed ahead, splashed with a lot of blood on his body, but he didn't suffer any injuries. He commanded loudly: "Tie these unsophisticated people, no one can run!"
Then he walked to Wan Jingtian and said triumphantly: "The Shuiyu messenger came to supervise this task personally. It is really hard work! But you have also seen that this kind of little thing is very easy for me! Please also water The ambassador must truthfully tell the master rudder!"
Wan Jingtian nodded: "That's natural."
Spreading words is naturally part of the serial task, which is very simple.
At this time, an extremely stubborn middle-aged man among the villagers scolded: "Yang Shuo, don't underestimate our Shuitian villagers! Even if you level our village, don't think about it..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zheng punched the middle-aged man in the face and said fiercely: "If you don't need to ‘just forget’, Shuitian Village will be leveled out soon!"
Wan Jingtian frowned, vaguely feeling that Li Zheng was beating people to stop the middle-aged from continuing to speak.
Before Wan Jingtian could think about it, Li Zheng had already asked Yang Shuo for instructions: "Brother, here is a mess now, why don't you ask the Shuiyu Envoy to go back to the stockade to rest?"
Yang Shuo nodded: "Shuiyu Envoy, then you should go back to the stockade first, and then I will wash the dust for you after I have cleaned up this place!"
I can't see clearly through the night, but among those villagers, there are indeed young children and weak women. None of them are in good condition. They are all gray-headed, and many are scarred. Wan Jingtian was a little shaken suddenly, wondering if he did something wrong. But thinking about it the other way round, when those guys saw themselves falling from the roof during the day, not only did they not care about them, they also used malicious words to deal with them, and even convicted them of beheading casually. It was really annoying! If we hadn't captured them today, they would behead my head tomorrow!
So cruel, turned his head, and followed a small soldier out of the village to Shirong Mountain to split the rudder.
But what exactly is Li Zheng trying to hide? Could there be other reasons why Yang Shuo and his gang attacked Shuitian Village?
