Chapter 1273: Border Conflict (3)

There are houses, land and silver. From the first few thatched houses to the bright three-box large tiled houses, from a few rag shirts to cover up their shame, to the bottom of the box, there is also a silk robe that is worn on the bottom of the box, which is worn on holidays or during major events in the village and county. In fact, it is not that he has no money to buy a few more, but because he feels that it is a bit inappropriate to wear this, and it is not as comfortable as coarse linen clothes.

But Jiang Hui, as one of the first people to come to Xiangxi, is now the village chief. He often goes out to do business on behalf of the village, so people must not underestimate his own village.

My wife also said that she had a baby at home last year. He was a wife who was over 40 years old, so she was naturally very precious. All this was unimaginable in Qin State before.

What he wants most now is to bring all his family members who are still in Qin to enjoy the happiness. The two countries have been fighting wars in the past two years, and they can't go there, but now it's different. The Ming Dynasty has completely conquered Qin, so there are no obstacles. When the food is collected, they can go on the road.

The only thing that worried him was whether the family members who stayed in Qin would have any accidents in the war. But no matter what, they would have to go back and take a look.

Looking at the green crops, I happily picked up the bucket and walked home. The big yellow dog in the house shook his head and wagged his tail and ran forward and behind him. Smoke was already rising from the village in the high wall in the distance. When I got home, I had hot meals, so I just stewed soybeans and drank a few sips of wine. I really didn't change this little day.

The big yellow dog suddenly stopped running, stood there, screamed loudly into the distance, and his hair was rising. Jiang Hui was shocked and looked back into the distance. A straight wolf smoke looked particularly dazzling under the blue sky.

The big yellow dog seems to be very familiar with this cigarette column and knows that as long as this cigarette column appears, something will definitely happen.

Jiang Hui's eyes suddenly became fierce and hated, and he spitted hard: "Fuck you, come again, come again, are there still going to be finished." He spread his legs and ran towards the village. The two buckets were shaking greatly in front of him. The big yellow dog no longer ran around, but spread his four hooves and ran ahead.

In the surrounding fields, countless men rushed out, carrying hoes, radish baskets, or plowing oxen, all of whom were speeding up their pace to retreat to the village, and the sound of warning gongs sounded in the village.

There are many land and many people in the village, and there are hundreds of men, but the village surrounded by walls is not big, which is mainly for the convenience of defense. When Jiang Hui left the bucket of shoulder pole and rushed into the room, he saw that the table had steaming food, while the woman was holding his knife and a pair of half-body armor in her hand.

He put his half-body armor on his body, carried the knife and ran outward. When he ran out, he saw men from the neighbors running out of the house with various weapons and running towards the high walls outside. Among them, there were not a shortage of tall and strong women.

These women are basically from Qin. Jiang Hui's wife is a local, so this is not possible. However, following them, his woman picked up the bucket of water that Jiang Hui was still holding in front of the door, carried it on her shoulder, and ran out with trembling trembling.

There are still many elderly and weak people in situations like Jiang Hui’s woman. Their main task is to carry water and put out fires, or carry the injured down.

When the Qi army came to attack, they often set rockets. Every time they attacked, few people died, but they often made the village mess. After several times, the people in the village had a complete set of ways to deal with it.

Jiang Hui rushed up the Arrow Tower in three steps. This is the highest place in the village. There is already a man there. It is a military officer sent by the county. A retired veteran named Bao An. Bao An is a court salary. His usual task is to organize these people for military training during the slack farming period, and he will become a commander during the war.

Of course, the military officers in each village have different abilities. For example, Bao An is very wild. This time he actually got a powerful crossbow and put it in the arrow tower. Although it was the kind of powerful crossbow that had been eliminated long ago, such weapons are generally not equipped in the village. I don’t know what path Bao An has taken, but he actually got a one, and ten powerful crossbows like spears. At this moment, he was fiddling with this powerful crossbow.

Jiang Hui knew that Bao An was very precious to this thing, so he spent a lot of time every day in the arrow tower to maintain this guy.

"This thing is not accurate!" Jiang Hui said.

"What do you know?" Bao An said disdainfully: "Do you know what I did before? I'm a crossbow soldier. I've been fiddling with this thing for half my life. There's no one in this world who can't shoot accurately. Just look at the level of the shooting person? The current strong crossbows in the Ming Dynasty are not relying on accurate heads. Anyway, when they shoot out, they will be one after another. Even if they can be concealed, they can also be concealed. But in the past, we rely on his personal skills. Jiang Hui, just watch it. This time I will definitely fight a Qi officer and kill a Qi officer. Our village will be exempted from all taxes this year."

"If you really want to kill a Qi Ren Clerk, you will be exempted from all the taxes in our village this year. I will invite you to drink." Jiang Hui said half-believingly.

"You are so stingy. Everyone's taxes add up to a meal!" Bao An rolled his eyes and patted his strength, "Do you go and see if there are any other villages?"

"I'll treat you to my family!" Jiang Hui said loudly.

"Okay." Bao An was overjoyed: "Then he made up his mind. A real man said something, it was hard to chase him. Look, they came over. Hey, this time there are a lot of people. Could it be that there are thousands of people."

Looking at the Qi people running in the distance, Jiang Hui felt his cheeks hurt a little, "Damn, why are there so many this time? Attendant Bao, when will our reinforcements arrive?"

Bao An unhurriedly lit the wolf smoke from the arrow tower, and turned around and said, "It will take as soon as possible to come from the county cavalry, which means we have to support one hour alone. For thousands of Qi soldiers, when we see the three wolf smoke, other villages will not come to support us anymore. We can only rely on ourselves to hold on. Jiang Hui, you must be mentally prepared, this time I am afraid that someone will die."

Jiang Hui had a calm face and kept silent.

"You go down and take everyone to fight. What should I say. I said earlier. Everyone's cooperation is almost the same. The key is not to be confused, don't panic, and don't be afraid. When fighting, it's just a singular spirit. If anyone is afraid first, he will definitely lose. There are many enemies, but we have high walls to block them and they don't have heavy weapons. It's not difficult for an hour. I'll stay here to see if I can find an opportunity to kill their leader? There is only one chance, and if I don't shoot once, it's difficult to attack him. It's just a surprise, I'm afraid he won't expect there will be something like a strong crossbow in our village."

"Okay, I'll go down first. We're not afraid of death. Damn, I finally lived a good life. I'm going to make trouble every few days, and the clay man has a few more rustic nature. I understand. If I don't kill them, I won't have a good life."

When Jiang Hui walked over the high wall, he could feel the worry and fear of all the people in the village. In the past, there were people coming, but for a while, only two or three hundred people, and at a young age, there were only a hundred people, and more were harassment and destruction. But this time, there were thousands of people, which was a little different from usual.

"Don't be afraid, they don't have a catapult and a crossbow, and they can't crush our walls. If you want to come up, you have to climb. Are the knives and axes in our hands vegetarians? Are we still afraid of death if we cut off the damn guys? As long as we persist for an hour, the reinforcements from the county will come. If they dare to come, they will kill them all here!" Jiang Hui waved his knife and ran around the high wall with his strength. He lowered his head and saw his wife standing by two buckets of water. He shouted loudly: "Is the food in the house warm in the pot? After killing these robbers, I have to drink a few more drinks!"

The woman on her lower head was carrying a doll on her back. When she heard Jiang Hui's roar, she quickly waved her hands and said, "The head of the house is warm, I'll cover the pot before leaving the door."

Laughing came from above the city walls, fear and worry dissipated little by little in the laughter.

In the distance, the Qi people began to set up their teams, stepping on the crops that are growing well towards the village. Looking at the seedlings that are falling on the ground, there were immediately curses on the heads of the high walls. This was the hard work of the people in the village for several months. From the beginning of spring sowing to the present, they have served these crops like serving their ancestors, but now they are being trampled on the ground without any mercy.

People who have never been hungry will never understand the care of food for those who have been hungry.

When he was more than a hundred steps away from the high wall, the Qi army paused. After a little rectification, several teams of Qi army began to continue to push forward, and the remaining Qi army stayed in their original place. Jiang Hui looked at the Qi army riding on a tall horse. Seeing that the clothing should be a general. After staying with Bao An for a long time, he could also distinguish the different levels of the enemy's generals through the different styles of the enemy's armor. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the still quiet Arrow Tower. If Bao An could kill this guy, it would not only be a year's tax, but there would be another reward in the village.

The Qi people continued to advance until they reached about thirty steps before they stopped. They were bullying the village without archers, and the Ming army's crossbow machine could never be distributed to the village.
