Chapter 66 Fighting
"Everybody! Pick up your weapons and fight them!!" Lin Benshu rang the gong and shouted to everyone. Then he threw the gong into the carriage, picked up a hatchet and rushed forward!
There were crowds of people standing on the path, all holding weapons and trying to rush to the official road.
The official road was only so wide, and it was already full of people from Nanlin Village. They piled up mud and stones to block the small road entrance, preventing the bandits from passing. The two groups of people fought and cursed each other with weapons raised across the mud and stones!
There were fields on both sides of the official road, and the road was nearly 2 meters higher than the fields. If other bandits wanted to climb up from both sides of the official road, they had to support each other to climb up.
Everyone was standing by the roadside like they were playing whack-a-mole, and as soon as the bandits showed up, they would hit them with sticks!
The bandits are also from ordinary people, they have never learned martial arts, and they just fight randomly. They rely on their large numbers and the fact that they are stronger than the elderly, women and children, and they do evil everywhere!
Nanlin Village has many young and middle-aged people, and together with the elderly, children and women, the number of people is twice as many as theirs.
For a while, the fight was evenly matched, with both sides swearing at each other!
Lin Zisu's RV was packed with people, seriously overloaded. The women and children of the Lin, Shen, and Shi families.
The remaining half of the food on the big bed was stuffed into the ox-mule cart.
When Lin Youcai woke up in the morning, he asked his family to move the food to another place and empty the RV to accommodate people.
Prepare for the worst, in case they fail to defeat the bandits. There is nothing they can do, they can only take care of their own family first. They want Lin Zisu to drive away, and they throw food while driving to see if they can get away!
Lin Xianwen was standing on the toilet, dismantling the exhaust fan with tools.
Lin Zisu looked at the fierce fighting outside and asked anxiously, "Have you taken it down?"
"Okay." Lin Xianwen handed the exhaust fan to Lin Xianyun and climbed onto the roof of the car.
Lin Xianyun followed behind and climbed onto the roof, followed by Lin Xianshan and Lin Xianhe.
Four people half-crouched on the roof of the car, took out slingshots, aimed at the bandits standing at the intersection, and fired crazily!
Screams kept coming!
The bandits angrily threw rocks at the RV, and the four skinny boys hid behind the rooftop tent, which was covered with blankets to provide cover.
Their feet were hooked on the rope, one person supported another, and two people shot.
The steel balls shot into the bandits' bodies, causing them to fall to the ground in pain. Those who were hit in the head by the steel balls went straight to the underworld.
Children learn things quickly. During the two months on the road, he practiced slingshots from time to time, and his accuracy and strength were impeccable. He usually practiced with small stones. If it wasn't a matter of life and death, Lin Youcai would not be willing to use steel balls.
One less ball is needed every time it is used, and steel balls are made of metal, so they can be exchanged for silver in this era.
Slingshot plus steel balls, a magical weapon for hunting in the wild. Anyone who has played it knows how destructive it is.
Seeing the bandits falling to the ground one after another, everyone's morale was boosted and they wielded their weapons with great force.
Men, women, young and old all took part in the battle, using whatever they had in their hands.
Lin Zisu sat in the car, anxiously waiting. Her hand was injured and she felt helpless, unable to even use her slingshot.
Shen Xianglan was worried about Lin Youcai. When she thought about what might happen, she didn't dare to think about it.
Li Juhua took a sharpened wooden stick and poked the gangster who was trying to climb up!
Daya was beside her, shaking her legs and also hitting down with a wooden stick!
No matter how scared they are, they have to go. If they lose, these women will only be in a worse situation!
The gangster who climbed up was immediately surrounded and beaten by three or four people and couldn't get up.
The two sides were fighting back and forth, and the situation was tense. On the official road, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.
Lin Xianwen and the other three were standing high and could see far, and the "Ling" flag fluttered in the wind.
Lin Xianwen quickly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dad! Dad!" and waved his hands frantically! !
Lin Youcai was busy shooting steel balls while standing on the ox cart. Lin Youfu, who was standing next to him, saw it, pulled him and pointed at the roof of the cart!
Lin Xianwen quickly climbed out of the car, but was afraid that the bandits would hear him, so he leaned over to whisper in his ear.
Lin Youcai put the slingshot back on his body and said, "Hurry up and get into the car." Then he ran to the back of the team.
Lin Youcai shouted at the top of his voice from a distance: "Sir! Sirs, help us! There are bandits robbing us! Sirs!"
When the light cavalry team arrived, it was indeed the same team from yesterday.
The leading cavalryman shouted: "How dare you! Who dares to block our way here!
Lin Youcai's tears were flying, his nose was running, and his saliva was flying. He pointed at the people who were trying to climb up on the path and in the fields and complained.
"Sir! The gangsters on the path and in the fields are too rampant! They don't take the government seriously at all! They say that their boss is the emperor here... the emperor here... whatever they say is the truth! All the passers-by were stopped and killed by them! They saw that there were many of us, and the day before yesterday morning they let an old man and two children sneak into our team, wanting to kill us all with the help of both inside and outside forces! They said that all the old people, children and men should be killed! The women should be left alone and raped! They also said that they had played with the daughters of the government, and the government family members would be killed anyway! They have the final say here!!"
The leading cavalryman was telling the people around him that it was the group of people they had searched yesterday, and that this person was also a scholar. When he heard the words "official lady", he immediately turned around and asked: "They killed the official lady?!"
Lin Youcai: "Yes! They swore at us that it was their "battle record"! It's unbearable to hear! They are worse than animals!"
Someone in the cavalry gave an order, and the leading cavalryman said: "Get out of the way!"
Lin Youcai quickly stepped aside, and the cavalry ran forward, raising a cloud of dust.
Lin Xianwen stood in the car, paying attention to the movement over there. When he saw the cavalry team running over, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The soldiers are coming!!! Get out of the way!!! Get out of the way!!! The soldiers are coming!!"
The people who were fighting fiercely below stopped their actions, and the bandits saw the cavalry coming over and ran back as fast as they could!
The cavalrymen charged forward on horseback, drew their swords, and hacked their way forward.
Everyone in Nanlin Village pulled me and I pulled you, and we all hid to the side.
Blood spurted everywhere, staining the official roads and paths red.
In less than a cup of tea, the bandits were killed and only a few were left alive for questioning.
The bandit leader, who was lying in a field pretending to be dead, was pointed out by his few remaining followers.
The cavalryman dismounted and kicked him in the head, then grabbed his hair and forced him to kneel down and answer.
Lin Youcai pointed at the three people tied up on the ground and said, "Sir, there are three more here! These two are not children, they are adults! They are just sick and cannot grow up, they are two dwarfs! They are little but smart, they are the young ladies from the official family they are talking about!"
The two dwarfs on the ground were gagged, their eyes wide open, trying to speak but unable to! They shook their heads desperately, they said nothing!
The other surviving bandits also turned to look at the three tied up people. It turned out that it was you three who leaked the information and attracted the government officials.
The bandit leader was dizzy, but he did not forget to raise his head and glared fiercely at the three people on the ground!
Old man Wu was confused. They didn’t say anything!
The leading cavalryman said to Lin Youcai: "The government is doing business, hurry up and leave!"
When everyone heard this, they felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly cleaned up the remaining stones and dirt on the official road!
My butt felt like it was on fire. I ignored the pain and wounds on my body and kept moving forward! I only regretted that I didn't have wings and couldn't fly!
