Zhang Sihai and the two boys who protected him worked hard and finally arrived at Woniuzhai in the middle of the night.
This road was too difficult to walk. The three guys were as tired as three grandsons, and their noses and faces were bruised and swollen from the fall.
If he hadn't been doing farm work since he was a child, and if he hadn't received arduous training after following Yun Chao, he might not have arrived at dawn, and he might have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.
The secret sentry arranged by Yun Chao thought Zhang Sihai and the others were spies for the bandits, so they took the risk and killed them directly.
If they hadn't been trying to catch him alive, they might have killed Zhang Sihai and the others with a single shot of a crossbow.
Just like that, Zhang Sihai was thrown into the dumps.
Fortunately, one of the boys who protected him was smart and reported his identity in time, otherwise the consequences might have been disastrous!
After learning that Zhang Sihai and the others were being followed by six or seven people in Woniu Town, Yun Chao became even more certain that the probability of something happening tonight was definitely over 50%.
Therefore, Yun Chao sent someone to send a message to Luo Zhiyuan and Li Xing, telling them that the bandits might really come tonight, and asked them to be more vigilant and not to relax as soon as dawn came.
Fortunately, Yun Chao warned them, and everyone stayed in ambush all night. When it was dawn, it was the sleepiest time. If Li Xing and Luo Zhiyuan hadn't warned them again and again, someone might actually have fallen asleep.
Especially those secret sentries responsible for monitoring mountain roads. Once they relax their vigilance and are discovered by bandits, everyone's ambush will be in vain.
To be honest, Yun Chao took a risk with this empty city strategy.
Once noticed by the enemy, it is likely to be counter-ambushed.
Being able to conceal yourself well is a key factor in winning.
It can be said that Zhang Sihai and the others have indirectly made a contribution.
Hard work paid off, it was about to dawn, and the bandits finally came.
Next, everything went according to Yun Chao's plan, including every step of the bandit's reaction, all on the nodes planned by Yun Chao.
The only thing Yun Chao didn't expect was the secret passage in the village.
On the day when the stronghold was breached, Yun Chao was not careless and sent people to search the stronghold.
Unfortunately, Yun Chao's gang of boys were inexperienced. Seeing a lot of garbage in the dry well, they thought there could be something fishy, so they didn't go down to the bottom of the well to check carefully.
Fortunately, Yun Chao had people block the doors and windows of the granary with stones, otherwise the bandits might have come out of the secret passage and set fire successfully!
Even if Luo Zhiyuan and his crossbowmen were ambushing the granary, the bandits could just knock on the door and rush in.
When the time comes, it won't matter whether Luo Zhiyuan comes down or not.
Everyone else was lying in ambush outside the village. Water from afar could not quench their thirst. Even if Yun Chao led his men to fight in, the bandits would still set fire to the granary!
Now, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Yun Chao blocked the doors and windows of the granary, and also blocked the front and rear doors of the cottage. The bandits have become turtles in the urn, and they must either force their way out or escape over the wall.
There are crossbowmen watching from the commanding heights of the village. It is very dangerous for the bandits to escape over the wall.
Unless a large number of bandits scale the wall together, the crossbowmen will not have time to shoot, and some of them may escape.
However, when the mountain stronghold was first built, it was impossible not to be prepared for enemies to come over the wall.
Therefore, the walls of the village are quite high, even higher than the walls of Wolong Village.
If you want to climb over the wall, you need to be good at martial arts or cooperate with each other, such as building a ladder.
As for breaking through the interception of Yun Chao or Li Xing, just rush out from the village gate.
I can’t say it’s not possible, but it’s really not very likely.
Unless the bandits can get back together, they can break out.
It's a pity that the bandits who have become a mess are all running for their lives, and no one can care about the other.
Even the Bull Demon King and the big man with the eyepatch are trying to find a way to escape, let alone the ordinary minions.
Yun Chao asked Chen Jian to take twenty of his men, plus the remaining Xiang Yong, to continue blocking the front door.
He led dozens of boys into the stronghold.
Wherever there are many people, Yun Chao will kill them and prevent the bandits from gathering together.
This time, the bandits were even more panicked.
He scolded the dog officers and soldiers for not respecting martial ethics. If they had the guts, they would use real swords and guns. They would fight in an open and fair manner. If they relied on a large number of people, they would not be considered heroes if they carried out an ambush!
Well, the bandits may have forgotten that they are also here for a sneak attack.
It's just that the sneak attack failed and was plotted instead.
Moreover, the number of bandits is not large.
What's more, there are so many local heroes on Yun Chao's side.
If he really fights for his life, Xiang Yong is really no match for the bandits.
It's a pity that the bandits' courage has been frightened out, and no one is thinking about fighting for their lives anymore.
Even if there were, they were isolated. As soon as they rushed over, they were stabbed into a hornet's nest by spears.
Suddenly, a corner of the cottage caught Yun Chao's attention.
A lot of bandits gathered there, not knowing what they were doing.
Yun Chao, who was ambushing outside, didn't know that the Bull Demon King led his people into the village from the dry well.
Because it was too dark, even Luo Zhiyuan, who was hiding in the granary, didn't know.
Now seeing a large group of bandits gathering, Yun Chao rushed over with his men.
The crossbowmen led by Luo Zhiyuan were preventing the bandits from climbing over the wall and could not care about anything else.
After getting closer, Yun Chao discovered that the bandits were all fighting to drill into a well.
Yun Chao understood.
It turns out that there is something fishy about this well, and there may be a secret passage leading to the outside of the village!
After figuring out the key, Yun Chao was very anxious.
I was afraid that the bandit in charge would run away.
Killing a group of minions is not as satisfying as killing a bandit leader!
"Brothers, kill me!"
Phew!
Phew!
Phew!
…
There are so many boys, but Brother Chao said it right, only dead bandits are good bandits.
Therefore, the bandits must die!
It just so happens that these guys are all rushing to drill into the well, and they don't have time to turn around and fight for their lives. The killing is not to mention how exciting it is!
After more than a dozen bandits fell in a row, the bandits rushing to drill into the well realized that all their accomplices behind them were almost dead, and they might be the next to die!
"Ah ah ah, the dog officers and soldiers are coming, run away quickly!"
"Ah ah ah, the dog officers and soldiers are coming. Get out of the way for grandpa and let him go in!"
"Go away, let grandpa go first!"
"..."
When people are extremely scared, they are likely to react in any way.
In the era of cold weapons, even if it was a regular army war, if one side suffered 20 to 30% battle losses, it would basically collapse.
Not to mention a bunch of bandits.
When a group of rabble-rousers discovered that they had been ambushed, their morale had collapsed, and they still had no courage to fight.
Someone is drilling hard into the well.
Unable to squeeze in, he just picked up a knife.
While shouting meaninglessly, he tried his best to kill the accomplices in front of him.
Seeing someone taking action, many bandits also raised their weapons.
Almost instantly, bandits No. 30 and 40 were killed in a group!
