After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Those torches gradually climbed up the southern slope, first went around, and then slowly approached the fence of Jiang's house.

Jiang Sanlang has already seen clearly that this is a group of more than a hundred bandits.

The gangsters also dragged two people, Chen Jiaxing, the eldest son of the patriarch Chen, and Chen Shu, the eldest son of Chen Sanyou.

The two were tied into rice dumplings with ropes and dragged along by the gangsters.

Seeing this, Chen Yin was so angry that his teeth itch.

His eldest brother just didn't listen to persuasion, and today he managed to persuade his family to come to Nanpo and live in Jiang's house, but the eldest brother and the hall brother refused to come anyway, and even said that in case of encountering bandits, they would live and die.

I thought the two of them would at least find a place to hide, but they ended up living at home like this.

This is good, the two were caught by bandits and dragged all the way here, if the uncle and parents saw it, I don't know how to feel distressed.

Jiang Sanlang didn't make a sound, and looked coldly at the thieves below to see how they moved.

The group of bandits did not approach, but circled around the wall.

The bandit leader couldn't help nodding, and muttered to himself: "This place is wonderfully built. Such a wall was built in less than ten days, which shows that this family is really rich."

He turned his head and raised his chin at his subordinates beside him: "Ask a few people to go up and have a look.

"Yes!"

The little boss called two skinny young men and asked them to climb the wall to find the way.

These two were originally burglars, and their skills of climbing over walls and buildings are top-notch.

The two gangsters nodded, and quickly ran towards the wall. When they got to the edge of the wall, seeing that there was no movement above, they took out the rope claw hook from their waist and threw it hard towards the wall.

The claw hook got stuck on the edge of the fence, and the culprit pulled it hard. Seeing that the claw was tight, he climbed up the wall quickly with both feet on the rope.

The villagers hidden on the fence were a little anxious, and quietly asked Jiang Sanlang: "Third Brother, what should we do?"

Jiang Sanlang thought for a while, then whispered: "Let them come up."

This group of thieves was far away from them, and the arrows couldn't reach them, so they had to be led forward to shoot arrows.

Moreover, there were two hostages tied up in their hands. These two were the sons of Chen Sanyou and the patriarch Chen. He had to worry about the lives of these two people.

Although the villagers were puzzled, they hid aside.

In order to resist the bandits, a lot of wood and stones, as well as bamboo arrows, etc. were piled up on the wall. The villagers hid behind these things, and the night was dark and moonless, so the bandits might not be able to find them.

A gangster climbed up the wall, but his hands were scratched by broken porcelain on the outer wall.

He cursed secretly, but didn't dare to speak loudly. He raised his eyes and saw dark shadows on the wall, which startled him. When he looked carefully, it seemed that they were not people, but piles of wood, stones and other sundries.

Looking down, the courtyard was dark and there was no sound.

The bandit thought for a while, and immediately waved to his accomplices below.

The bandit chief didn't move when he saw it, but waited for another person's reply.

Another bandit also climbed up the wall, but before he could get up, his neck was already strangled by a thin rope. He wanted to struggle, but his head was pinched and twisted violently, only a slight click sound was heard, the bandit Limp down like a dead fish.

Although this movement was small, it also alarmed another bandit.

The bandit reacted quickly, and immediately wanted to climb the rope and escape.

But he couldn't escape, he was dragged over, and his neck was broken.

Only then did Jiang Sanlang see clearly that it was Wen Fu who did it.

Wen Fu said lightly: "The more you worry about hostages, the more rampant the bandits will be. In the end, they will only fight. Send the signal immediately, let's attack from both sides, and kill him by surprise!"

Jiang Sanlang nodded, and immediately ordered someone to ignite the arrow, and the flaming arrow flew directly to the haystack ten feet away.

This distance can't kill people, but it can ignite haystacks drenched in tung oil.

For a moment, the flames around the gangsters shone brightly, illuminating them with nowhere to hide.

Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing came from behind the bandits.

The bandit leader was taken aback and subconsciously looked back.

I saw more than a hundred villagers suddenly rushing out from the darkness, holding sticks, forks, shovels, and some with big knives, shouting to fight and kill.

The culprits had never seen such a battle of villagers, and they panicked and ran towards the wall.

"shoot!"

Seeing that the thieves had already reached the shooting range, Jiang Sanlang gave an order, and a dozen archers standing on the wall shot arrows directly at the thieves below, shooting down a dozen of them at once.

Immediately the gate opened, and Wen Fu rushed out with dozens of villagers, swinging machetes and axes at the bandits.

The villagers have long held back their anger.

Their homes were burned, their food and belongings were robbed, and their anger made them fearless. They rushed over regardless of their own safety, and chopped down the bandits when they saw them, almost one by one.

The kidnappers were originally a group of broken bandits, and some of them were wounded. This time they acted at night, they just wanted to secretly get some food and money so that they could escape later.

In the end, when I met such a group of villagers, they played so many tricks to deal with them like the regular army of the imperial court.

Now the thieves and bandits were in complete chaos, running around.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the bandit leader wanted to escape alone, but someone had already set his sights on him, and the two bandits who were guarding him were chopped down by a cold light, and another cold light cut off one of the bandit leader's arms.

The bandit leader yelled, clutching his arms and rolling over to the ground.

Two villagers rushed forward to hold him down, and tied the bandit leader into rice dumplings in twos and twos.

Wen Fu said in a low voice: "Drag him back to stop the bleeding, don't let him die. This is a great achievement."

The villagers understood and dragged the bandit leader back.

At this time, the lights inside the enclosure were already brightly lit, and everyone stood in the yard, tremblingly listening to the screams and screams outside.

The villagers dragged the bandit leader into a hut and called Mrs. Wen to stop his bleeding and heal his wounds.

Mrs. Wen walked into the house with Yingbao, Yingbao was holding the medicine bag, and Mrs. Wen took out her own medicine box and wound treatment tools to sew up the bandit leader's wound.

At this time, the bandit leader was half unconscious due to excessive blood loss, so Ying Bao took out a pill, crushed it into water, and poured it down for him.

This is a big treasure who has done meritorious service, so he can't just die like this.

Outside the wall, among those bandits who died or were wounded, only one out of ten escaped in the dark.

The people tied up the injured with ropes, and dragged the corpses of the bandits to a place waiting to be dealt with.

The patriarch's son and Chen Sanyou's eldest son were also untied and sent back to Jiang's family for treatment.

Each of the two had one ear cut off, and their faces were swollen like a pig's head. Apart from these flesh wounds, they were fine, but because they were frightened, they shitted their pants.

Patriarch Chen was so angry that he asked his daughter-in-law to change his son's clothes and pants, and then asked Aunt Wu's husband, Wu Si, to give them medicine.

After clearing the battlefield, it was already daylight.

Jiang Sanlang let his two legs quickly go to the town to report the matter to Sun Lizheng, and then he lay down and rested for a while.

The complete victory this time was not only due to the contribution of Dongchen Village, but also with the help of more than a dozen households from Xichen Village and dozens of masons.

Among them, the one who contributed the most was Wen Fu.

Jiang Sanlang could tell that this Wen Fu was very powerful. He was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also decisive in killing and attacking. His ability to deal with the enemy was like a battle-tested general.

But such a person should be subservient to be a servant, which made Jiang Sanlang very puzzled.

Even though the imperial court now emphasizes civility over martial arts, for this kind of talent, as long as he is willing, it is not a problem to get out of slavery.
