Zhao Feng asked the villagers to go back and find all the hoes and pickaxes used for farming. Next, he would lead the villagers to resist the bandits.
After the villagers dispersed, Zhao Feng saw the two young men he had sent to Chenjiazhuang to inquire about information behind the crowd.
The two young men stood there helplessly, with their heads lowered, as if they had done something wrong. Zhao Feng frowned and walked over to them and asked them.
"Didn't I tell you not to tell anything about Chenjiazhuang? Now these villagers are almost having internal strife out of fear."
The two young men lowered their heads, and upon hearing these words, they immediately showed innocent expressions.
"What an injustice! We have just returned from Chenjiazhuang, and the situation in Chenjiazhuang has already been spread in the village. It is even more evil than what we saw!"
"We clearly didn't say anything, and we don't know who the hell is trying to make up these rumors!"
Zhao Feng suddenly felt something in his heart. It seemed that there was obviously an insider involved in this matter.
Fortunately, he came up with this trick and used his own money and food to boost the confidence of these villagers. Otherwise, no matter what he said, these villagers would not believe him.
Seeing that the two young men were almost crying with grievance, Zhao Feng patted their shoulders and comforted them.
"It seems that someone is behind this. Let's not talk about this for now. You two should go back and get the tools quickly."
"If you want to defeat the bandits, you must rely on everyone's efforts!"
The two young men were eager to prove themselves, so they nodded in agreement and hurried home to get tools.
Zhao Feng's predecessor grew up in this village. He grew up eating food from hundreds of families and knew every household very well.
While the villagers were getting tools, Zhao Feng hurriedly drew a sketch on the ground.
After revising for a while, Zhao Feng looked at the drawing he had just drawn with great satisfaction.
At this time, the villagers also ran back with various tools. Zhao Feng saw their tools and said directly to them.
"Everyone, today I will lead everyone to dig a tunnel. Only with the function of this tunnel can we successfully resist those bandits!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the villagers had puzzled expressions on their faces. They didn't know what this tunnel was.
Zhao Feng did not explain too much to them, but took some villagers to a villager's home and pointed to the kang head of his home.
"Tear down the kang in your house and dig a tunnel from here down, 30 steps eastward!"
"Put a wooden board on top, so when the bandits come, your family can just lift the board and hide in the tunnel."
The villagers of this family had just heard that Zhao Feng was going to demolish it, and they were still a little dissatisfied when they were kangtou, but now they thought about it carefully and suddenly showed an overjoyed expression.
"We understand that when the bandits come to the village and can't find us, they will definitely return disappointed!"
Zhao Feng chuckled. If the function of this tunnel was just to hide, it wouldn't be so magical.
But if Zhao Feng were to say now that they would use this tunnel to fight the bandits to the death, it would definitely frighten these villagers, and on the contrary, it would delay these villagers' efforts to dig tunnels.
So Zhao Feng did not explain, but just took the remaining people to the house next door. After thinking about the distance between the two houses for a moment, he pointed to the stove in his house and said.
"Dig a hole under your cooking stove as well. When the bandits come, you can hide directly in this tunnel and meet the others!"
Zhao Feng followed suit and led many villagers to prepare hiding tunnels for each household.
Zhao Feng had already memorized that picture in his mind. Although it was just a few simple pointers, he was able to make the tunnels dug by these villagers form an intricate tunnel network!
According to what Zhao Feng said, the villagers kept digging and digging to save their lives, so everyone did not dare to slack off.
During their continuous digging, the servants of the Shen family finally arrived at Zhaojiazhuang with some tools.
Zhao Feng was overjoyed when he saw these servants, and he quickly took these servants and continued to arrange them in the village. Some places were at the mouth of wells, and some were under a tree.
The servants and villagers kept digging, and the soil they transported was sprinkled on the road outside the village. As they kept digging, some villagers were surprised to find that the end of their digging was actually the same as the tunnels dug by other villagers. Connected.
At the same time, Zhao Feng also asked the villagers to prepare a lot of open space in the tunnel below to accommodate the villagers' food and some old, weak, women and children when the bandits came here.
These villagers worked together and successfully dug out an intricate tunnel network in just a few days!
Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the tunnel network had already begun to take shape and that it only needed to be continuously expanded and repaired.
But at this moment, all the things that Zhao Feng asked the Shen family to help make were sent over.
That's more than forty crossbows and hundreds of crossbow arrows!
These crossbows were all made by Zhao Feng from his previous crossbows. They absorbed experience and improved them again. Such crossbows are not only more accurate, but also very powerful!
After seeing these crossbows, the villagers finally understood that Zhao Feng's use of these powers was not to avoid the bandits at all, but to fight them to the death!
The villagers originally didn't have much hope in this matter, but after seeing this very complicated tunnel, they also felt that this matter should have the possibility of success!
After all, the tunnel was very complicated. Even after they entered, they had to find their way according to the marks left behind.
People in this tunnel are like magic weapons appearing out of nowhere. They will definitely be able to catch those bandits off guard!
Zhao Feng also asked the two young men he had sent to Chenjiazhuang to stand up and explain the situation in Chenjiazhuang in detail.
The villagers discovered that the bandits were not as scary as they thought. Although some people were killed in Chenjiazhuang, some bandits were also injured.
Zhao Feng stood on the stone platform at the entrance of the village, waved his hand and said to the villagers.
"As long as we work together and obey my command, I guarantee that this time the bandits will not only be unable to get any benefits when they enter the village, but we will also kill many of them!"
"The only way is to defeat these bandits and subdue them! Then they will not dare to come and trouble us again!"
The villagers all cheered.
