Chapter 64 Layout
After hearing this, Zhou Xian's face changed suddenly and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Are there any bandits in the city?"
The child nodded and said, "Originally there were only three bandits, but they had money and recruited some in the city. Currently, there are about fifty or sixty people. Now they are staying in the Wuhou Temple and agreed to start the action later this time."
Zhou Xian's face was extremely difficult to see, and he said to Li Kai: "Take him back to his hometown to join the brave team."
Li Kai responded quickly, carried the child onto the horse, and turned himself over and held him in his arms. The others also hurriedly got on the horse and rushed towards the village brave group.
On the way, Zhou Xian knew that the child was named Chen Feng. That day, he stole Zhou Xian's wallet, and Zhou Xian was touched by his filial piety. Not only did he not punish him, he gave him a few taels of silver to bury his deceased father and asked him to escape south. But when he was about to leave Wuyang City, the city gate was closed by Pan Hong. Later, when he encountered bandits siege the city, he was forced to stay in Wuyang City and stay in Wuhou Temple.
Just three days ago, three people suddenly came from Wuhou Temple. Chen Feng didn't take it seriously at first, but later he accidentally heard their conversation and realized that they were actually bandits who were secretly trampled outside the city. He wanted to escape, but later, he accidentally learned that Zhou Xian was staying in the village sang group. He knew that once things were allowed to develop, Zhou Xian would definitely die.
Chen Feng was grateful to Zhou Xian's elegance and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to tell him about this. He used the remaining silver that Zhou Xian rewarded to place his sister in the inn and went alone to find Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian stayed in Beicheng during the day and went back to Zhou's house to rest at night. He only stayed in the village sang for a short period of time. Chen Feng came several times and was stunned. He did not dare to tell others such news, so he could only wait outside. Today, he saw Zhou Xian riding a horse and rushed out to stop him immediately, and the scene behind him appeared.
Zhou Xian showed some emotion in his eyes, and thought to himself that he had never expected that his unintentional action would have brought such a great reward. If what Chen Feng said was true, he would tell himself in advance that not only saved his life, but also saved the lives of the people in the city.
Zhou Xian threw himself at Chen Feng with gratitude and said nothing. He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to inform Lin Bao of the news and see if he could do something to stop the bandits.
After hearing this, Lin Bao looked at Chen Feng and said, "You said there are fifty or sixty bandits. Do you know the exact time of their operation tonight?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I only know that it is tonight. They will capture the West Gate and welcome the bandits outside the city into the city."
"Why is it the West Gate, not the other gate?"
Chen Feng touched his head and said, "I don't know this either. From what they mean, it seems that Ximen is guarded by the village hero, and his combat effectiveness is not strong, so it is easy to get things done."
Zhou Xian frowned and pondered at Lin Bao, and looked at him and said, "Master, let's act quickly! Go ahead now, and you may not be able to block all the bandits in the Wuhou Temple and take the opportunity to destroy them all."
Lin Bao shook his head and said, "You are talking about the best situation, but what if the bandits have already started to take action at this moment? There are less than 150 people in the village chariot group, and the others are old and weak. If the troops are dispersed, what should we do if the bandits attack? Although they are not large, only fifty or sixty, once the bandits outside the city hear the movement in the city, they will inevitably respond actively. In this way, Ximen will inevitably be broken."
Zhou Xian looked ugly and asked nervously: "Master, what should we do now? You can't do nothing. Wait until they are ready and come and attack Ximen!"
Lin Bao pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Feng again and said, "You just said that there is only one gate for Wuhou Temple, right?"
Chen Feng nodded and explained seriously: "There is indeed only one gate, but the wall is dilapidated, and some dog holes and gaps can also come out. However, those are very narrow, and only one person can come out at a time."
Lin Bao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and finally opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Xian, you will immediately lead the Liangqi Township Warriors to Wuhou Temple. If the bandits have not started to take action, you will block them inside. A flag town warrior is set up at the door, and a small flag town warrior is set up on each of the other three sides. If a bandit comes out of the other three sides, shoot it immediately. If they try to break out from the door, block them back tightly. At the same time, they are making great efforts outside the courtyard, making the bandits mistakenly think that we are numerous. Those are ordinary victims, but they are bewitched by the bandits. Once they are frustrated, they will definitely not resist."
Zhou Xian's face changed slightly: "Master, if I take away the Liangqi Township Warriors, there will be not many people left!"
Lin Bao shook his head and said, "Don't worry about my side. I will send someone to notify Yuan Cheng later and ask him to lead some people to Ximen to support him immediately. With the current force, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with it for a period of time."
Zhou Xian showed some concerns in his face, but he still nodded in the end.
Lin Bao continued: "When you mix in the city and do a fine job, it is most taboo to have chaos in the city. If you arrive and find that the bandits have left, you will send a team of village warriors to beat drums and drums around the city and keep shouting. Say that there are military operations in the city, and anyone who dares to go out of the house will be killed without mercy. As long as there are no disaster victims or people causing chaos, there will be no chaos in the city."
Zhou Xian smiled slightly and said to Lin Bao: "Master, you should be thorough in thinking. Once you do that, even if there are some bandits in the city, you can't imagine causing any big waves in the city."
Lin Bao had a serious expression and reminded: "Get Wang Maozi and Zhang Hu in a while. One of them is experienced and the other dares to fight and kill. At that time, even if there is any sudden change, I can rest assured with them by your side."
Zhou Xian nodded and said to Lin Bao: "Master, I know everything you said. I will take them there now."
A crisp whistle sounded in the quiet dark night, which was the sound of gathering the team. Some of the sleeping village heroes were dressed in urgent need of dressing and quickly gathered at the school grounds.
Lin Bao handed over the township heroes of the two flags to Zhou Xian in command, and he personally led the township heroes to guard the city gate. In the end, the banner and all the township brave team who could breathe quickly climbed onto the city wall to guard against the bandits outside the city.
Whether on or under the city, everyone held their breath and focused, held their bows and led arrows, and looked forward with a steady look. Everyone realized that something big would happen, but they didn't know what would happen.
All the torches were extinguished, but the white crescent moon was still radiating silver light, and it swelled down.
Zhou Xian led Wang Maozi and Zhang Hu to run wildly and told them the current situation on the way.
