Master Chen has been planning for so long, how could he just let Xihewan deal with it like this?
Removing Tieniu, Zheng Fang, Tiechui and the village escorts is just the beginning.
Now that Xihewan's defensive personnel have reached the red line, they can no longer spare any extra escorts.
On the third day after Tie Zhui and the others left, more than a dozen groups of bandits suddenly emerged from around Jinchuan. They rushed into Jinchuan from all directions and robbed the people crazily.
Due to the rapid development of Xihewan, almost every village in Jinchuan County now has people working in Xihewan.
There are no longer bandits collecting annual grain, and there are people in the family working in factories to earn money, and the whole county's life has become easier.
Today, the poorest village in Jinchuan is also a wealthy village in other surrounding counties.
This surprised the bandits who came to rob, and they raided even more crazily.
Although the number of bandits per share is not too large, most of the young people in the county have gathered in Xihewan or other factories. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the village. How can they stop the ferocious bandits?
The people on the Jinchuan border were unlucky. Not only were their homes robbed, but many others were killed by bandits.
"I'm sorry sister-in-law, I didn't do my job well and allowed the bandits to take advantage of me!"
Xiaoyu took a piece of information and took the initiative to admit her mistake to Guan Xiaorou.
The Zhongming team is divided into two parts. The first team led by Han Feng is responsible for the external, while the second team led by her is responsible for the internal. The most important work content is to be responsible for the intelligence around Jinchuan and to guard against spies inside Xihewan.
"As soon as the bandits entered Jinchuan, you got the news. It's not your fault, it's Xie Xiguang who has a problem!"
Tang Dongdong gritted his teeth and said, "In the autumn, Brother Liang wiped out all the bandits in Guangyuan. How could so many of them appear all at once? It must be Xie Xiguang who is behind it!"
"What's the use of talking about this now?" Guan Xiaorou said anxiously: "We have to find a way quickly, we can't just watch the bandits plundering everywhere!"
"Now there is only one company of bodyguards left in the village, there is nothing we can do!"
Tang Dongdong said helplessly: "I can only hope that Brother Feng will come back soon!"
"My brother said that there are thousands of miles from the East China Sea to Jinchuan. No matter how fast the boss is, it will still take more than half a month to get back. After more than half a month, the bandits robbed Jinchuan!"
Guan Xiaorou was almost crying.
"Xiaorou, we really have no choice!"
Tang Dongdong said: "The only thing we can do now is to shrink our defenses and protect the village and factories!"
Guan Xiaorou opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Guan Xiaorou also understood what Tang Dongdong said, but when she thought that Jin Feng had finally managed to let the people of Jinchuan live a good life, but now they were being ravaged by bandits, Guan Xiaorou felt panicked in her heart.
Tang Dongdong patted Guan Xiaorou on the shoulder and left with Xiaoyu.
Now that the bandits have entered Jinchuan, they must be prepared to prevent the bandits from reaching Xihewan.
Many times, good and evil are just a matter of thoughts, and people become bandits overnight.
This year is a year of disaster. The people of Jinchuan have Jinfeng relief, but the people of other counties do not.
Many people could not survive. They heard that they could make a fortune by looting Jinchuan, so many people around Jinchuan were ready to take action.
In addition, Master Chen secretly added fuel to the flames. In the next few days, more and more people turned into bandits and poured into Jinchuan.
For a time, the whole Jinchuan was in flames and there were bandits everywhere.
When Zheng Fang, Tieniu, Tie Hammer and others heard the news, their first thought was to lead their troops back to ensure the safety of Xihewan.
But as soon as they were about to leave, bandits more than ten miles away also took action.
Iron Hammer was still better. Now he no longer cared about where the battlefield was and led his troops directly back to Black Wind Ridge.
If the bandits dare to pursue them, they will end up in a fight in Heifeng Ridge.
But Zheng Fang and Tieniu were suppressed and unable to move.
As soon as they leave, the bandits will definitely attack Double Hump and Blackwater Gully.
The most terrible thing is that the scouts discovered the presence of catapults and heavy crossbows among the bandits.
"Why do bandits have catapults?"
When Tang Dongdong received the news, his face was full of disbelief.
"Sister Dongdong, have you forgotten that Marquis Qing handed over the drawings for the catapult to the court and later leaked it to the party members?"
Xiaoyu said: "There are party members, so it doesn't matter if the gentlemen in the court get a share, right?
Judging from the scout reports, the bandits' catapults are all first-generation products made by Mr. in Qingshui Valley."
"You mean this matter involves the court?"
Tang Dongdong frowned slightly.
Before, she had always suspected that Mr. Feng, who had escaped, was behind the scenes, but now she realized that this matter had nothing to do with Mr. Feng.
Although Mr. Feng had colluded with Dang Xiang, it was impossible for Dang Xiang to teach him how to make a catapult.
The only reasonable explanation is that the method of making catapults came from the court.
The three of them were worried when Aju ran in quickly from outside the hospital.
Seeing her, all three of them felt nervous.
In recent days, none of the news Aju has brought is good news.
"Madam, it's not good, the suspension bridge in Heifeng Ridge has been burned down!"
"What?!"
Guan Xiaorou felt her vision go dark and almost fell to the ground.
Tang Dongdong also widened his eyes and asked, "How is Brother Hammer?"
One end of the suspension bridge is Xihewan and the other end is Heifeng Ridge.
The suspension bridge was burned, indicating that one end was lost.
There was no movement in the village, so Guan Xiaorou and Tang Dongdong's first thought was that Heifeng Ridge had been lost, and the bodyguards on the Xihewan side had no choice but to burn the suspension bridge.
Seeing that the two of them had thought wrong, Aju quickly explained: "Brother Hammer should be fine, the bridge was burned down by spies."
"Spy? Who is it?" Xiaoyu asked with a frown.
The bodyguards responsible for guarding the suspension bridge are carefully selected. Not only must they have excellent fighting qualities, but they must also have a clean life experience.
Either he was born in Xihewan or Guanjia Village, or his whole family worked in the village.
These people had all been favored by Jin Feng, and Xiaoyu really didn't want to believe that they would rebel.
"It was Lao Tian, the cook who cooked for the bodyguards guarding the bridge!" Aju said, "He drugged the bodyguards guarding the bridge to stupefy him, and then burned the suspension bridge with oil. He also committed suicide!"
"Cook Lao Tian?" Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is it the one who is missing a leg?"
"Yes, that's him!" Aju nodded.
A dry, lame old man came to Xihewan to beg for food a few months ago and was met by her father.
The two had a good chat, and her father introduced Lao Tian to the construction site canteen to help cook the pot.
Her father is the village chief of Xihewan and arranges for a cook. Who can say anything?
Even Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously.
"Isn't Lao Tian helping in the canteen at the construction site? Why did he go to the suspension bridge again?" Xiaoyu asked.
Aju hesitated for a moment and said: "The people at the construction site canteen said that the village chief saw that Lao Tian was too tired in the construction site canteen, so he arranged for him to cook for the bodyguards guarding the bridge..."
"Why is my dad so confused? How can you just arrange for people to cross such an important place like the suspension bridge?"
Xiaoyu was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Sister-in-law, Director Tang, just wait, I'll call my dad over right now!"
"Okay Xiaoyu, now is not the time to look for your father!"
Tang Dongdong grabbed Xiaoyu and said: "The other party deliberately arranged chess pieces to destroy the suspension bridge. The most likely thing is to attack the village. This is to prevent Brother Hammer from returning to the village to help. You should hurry up and check if there is anything abnormal around the village.
