Chapter 21 Raid on the big family

In the late night (at one o'clock in the morning), the north wind whistled between heaven and earth, and a layer of thin ice had formed on the surface of the shallow pits of rivers and lakes!

Before cotton coats were widely promoted, the ancients relied on animal furs to protect against cold in the north, while in the south, there was no such condition. Rich people added silk or cotton wool to the mezzanine of their clothes, which was thin and warm. At least Wei Feng believed that it was more comfortable than cotton jackets in later generations, but the poor could not afford them. Including the vast majority of the soldiers in the village, they could only wrap several layers of coarse linen on their bodies to fight against the ubiquitous whistling north wind.

Wei Feng brought out a total of 900 soldiers and a hundred female medical teams. In order to show his joys and sorrows, everyone, including himself, and Wu Shi, was wearing coarse linen clothes.

Xiang Mi tightened her clothes and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Lord, when will the raid be launched? If you don't move, the soldiers will all be frozen!"

In the empty field, the gentry manor two miles ahead was surrounded by two-meter-high walls, and there were guard towers in all four corners. Wei Feng was taking advantage of the faint lights on the guard tower to concentrate on observing the guards' every move.

The four guards had long stretched out their necks and looked out, but now, there has been no movement for a moment. Wei Feng thought that they were probably all surrounding the charcoal basin to cook fire. After all, day after day, year after year, no one dared to have the idea of ​​going to the gentry manor. Who would have expected that something would happen tonight?

So Wei Feng turned his head and shouted: "Xiang Mi, Jiang Xuan, and you, the three of you follow me and touch me. The others are on standby. Once the fire is extinguished, six hundred people come at the fastest speed. The other three hundred people scatter and surround them. However, if there are those who escape from the manor, kill them. The female medical team should be careful and come again when they hear the call. Remember, no one in the entire army is allowed to scream, do you know?"

"Abide by the order!" Everyone understood that the war was approaching, and their bodies were shaking, and the orders were conveyed layer by layer.

After a moment, Wei Feng waved his hand violently, and the three people whose names were named were raised, rushed forward with their waists. Each of them carried a pair of bows and arrows. This was also the only four bows and arrows in Shanhan. Compared with the strength of one thousand people, it was indeed a bit cold.

However, too many bows and arrows are useless. There are no more than ten people in the village who can shoot archers. Even if you don’t require accurate heads, you only need to shoot in one direction according to the order. Those with strong arm strength will have to take half a year to a year to initially master the archery skills. If you require accurate heads, in addition to the extremely talented talent like Wei Feng and Xiang Mi, it will take at least seven or eight years to train a sharpshooter. Wei Feng does not have this patience.

There was a rustling sound in the dead grass, using sparse small trees as a hidden secret. Wei Feng spent time exploring the way, while the other three people took into account the movements of the building, and each of them remained silent.

With intentional calculations and no intentions, it was almost time to reach a distance of thirty steps from the wall.

The four people were hiding behind the tree and observing upwards, Jiang Xuan lowered his voice and said, "Lord, it is a good thing to guard the patriarch in the building, but our bows and arrows are useless. What do you think?"

Xiang Mi took it and whispered: "According to the opinions of his subordinates, it is better to make a sound and lure them out. Just probe them and shoot them. With our archery skills, we can kill one arrow!"

Wei Feng shook his head without thinking: "It's not appropriate. It's impossible for four people to look outwards. As long as one of them is not shot to death, they will inevitably send out a message to summon reinforcements. With the guardian power of the Qian family's 300 guards and the bows and crossbows are all available, we have no second way to go except to withdraw the mountain village. The surplus grain in the mountain village is only enough to eat until tomorrow morning. Although I can take you into Yangxian tomorrow, the three thousand old, weak, women and children cannot enter the city immediately. We must wait for us to gain a foothold in Yangxian, otherwise thousands of people will pour in will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the defenders. It is cold and the land is frozen. If they are hungry for a day, they will die. So we must take down the Qian family manor tonight!"

"It's because my subordinates are not considerate!" Xiang Mi couldn't help but say embarrassedly.

Wei Feng waved his hand and signaled it was fine, and then he turned his eyes upwards. There was still no movement in the building, only a faint fire was flashing. So the four of them moved forward carefully, trying not to make any sounds at each step, and finally arrived under the wall without any danger.

After a while, all four of them stood against the wall. Wei Feng took out the hook rope and raised it upwards. With a sound of "Bang!", the iron hook was accurately pressed on the top of the wall, which was a blind spot that could not be seen.

"What sound!" A vigilant scream immediately came from the tower!

Immediately afterwards, a man leaned his head and looked out.

Wei Feng quickly made a gesture to Jiang Xuan.

"Meow~~" Jiang Xuan immediately learned to meow, then took out a small stone and threw it into the depths of the grass.

"Damn it, it turned out to be a wild cat, which scared me!"

"You are the least brave. What else can you do in the wilderness of Yixing besides wild cats and dogs? Those bandits, who give them ten courage, dare not come over. Come on! Sit down and cook the fire. If there is a pot of wine to warm your body, it would be even better!"

"You are a fucking dream. The man is born stingy. How could he give us wine? I'd better wait for the New Year to send money to the county town and buy it myself!"

Looking upstairs chattering and complaining, the four people below were not in a hurry, waiting patiently. After a while, the sound gradually disappeared. It was probably because they were dozing around the brazier.

Wei Feng then untied the bow and arrow, pulled the hook rope, and climbed up gently. When he reached the top of the wall, he stopped and listened with his ears. After a while, he looked up slightly and looked up. Through the lower edge of the fence of the building, he could see that the four guards were all sleeping around the stove with spears in their arms.

So he stopped hesitating, Wei Feng squatted outside the building with both hands, waved downwards, and the three of them climbed up accordingly.

Wei Feng pulled out the dagger, stroked the neck diagonally, and then took the lead in, and the three of them stepped in one by one. One guard seemed to sense something, and opened his eyes in a daze. Wei Feng hurried forward, covering his mouth with one hand and slashing hard with the other hand!

"Um!" A muffled groan, and a bloodline shot out, but with this muffled groan, the three of them also woke up. Wei Feng quickly threw out the dagger and stabbed it into one of them!

The other two were completely sleepy for a moment and showed a look of horror. Just as they were about to call, Xiang Mi and Jiang Xuan threw the daggers in their hands!

"Chi!Chi!" Two light sounds, Wei Feng opened his arms at the right time, then stretched his feet and steadily caught the three bodies that were about to fall to the ground.

Xiang Mi took a few breaths and patted her heart and said, "Lord, it's so mysterious. If they were asked to scream, it would be all over tonight!"

The two of them were also in a state of lingering fear, but Wei Feng said lightly: "What's this? You've experienced too little and you will inevitably make a fuss. You'll get used to it a few more times in the future. Okay, kill the guards, and tonight's action is half successful. There should be a good result with a good start. Hurry up and put out the fire and call the brothers over."

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other. They could hear what Wei Feng said. It must be that there were many such activities of stealing houses and households. It seemed that the lord was a lone giant thief before! However, he was not as old as he was, where did his ability come from?

With this confusion in mind, the three of them rushed to extinguish the charcoal fire. Not long after, there were continuous rustling sounds outside the wall, and six hundred soldiers quickly came to the wall.

It took a full moment to climb into the wall one after another. To be honest, no one knew the internal structure of the gentry manor, but Wei Feng had seen the terrain clearly before and immediately pointed forward: "Captaining the thief is to capture the king, and picking the bow is to strengthen the strong! That house is the tallest, and it must be where the Qian family lives. Let us attack with force, and fight slowly! As long as we catch the Qian family, will the guards be afraid that he will not surrender? Let me give it to me!"

"Kill!" Six hundred people gathered into a huge arrow, accompanied by a huge roar that could scare human souls in the dark, and rushed forward.

The sudden movement woke everyone in the mansion. The sound of doors and windows opening one after another, and there were also the screams of women. Fires shone out in one room after another. Through the light, you can see that the mansion was already in chaos.

The scope of Qian Mansion is not too large. The most important wealth of the little gentry like him is the fertile land distributed outside the mansion. In more than ten breaths, Wei Feng had led everyone to the inner courtyard. It was not until this time that the guards of the mansion poured out one after another, most of them were not even wearing armor, and they were obviously just getting up from the warm bed!

The soldiers were about to line up the Mandarin Duck Formation to fight, but Wei Feng shouted: "Qian colluded with bandits and robbed the passers-by merchants. Now, he is ordered by the Lord of the Mansion to come and pick them up. No one is involved and surrenders before he can stop. Could it be that he intends to rebel? Hum?"

Wei Feng shouted with great authority. The soldiers including Xiang Mi were so impressed that they could use such a damaged move. You must know that in the dark and in chaos, someone would definitely surrender. After all, they would go against the court, even if they were the elite of the palace guards, they would never dare!

Sure enough, the guards who had just rushed out of the mansion immediately knelt down, and some soldiers rushed over and confiscated their weapons and crossbows. Although some of the others did not abandon their weapons, they did not dare to go forward, but retreated back to the inner house.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wei Feng led the remaining hundreds of people into the rushing straight in. Some of the guards saw that they had no choice but to retreat, so they also offered weapons and knelt down. In front of a mansion, a middle-aged man suddenly changed his face and exclaimed: "They are not soldiers in the court, but bandits! Quickly set up the formation and kill them immediately!"

However, it was too late to wake up. Apart from the dozens of people scattered in Wanglou and scattered everywhere, the three hundred guards had surrendered, about two hundred people, and only a few dozen people were surrounded by hundreds of people. In particular, there were soldiers who raised the crossbow that had just been seized. Apart from surrender, there was no other way to go?
