Cao Shen led hundreds of people to circle the village, trying to find the weak point.
But this village is very strange. It is surrounded by a circle of tall soapberry trees. There is also a high wall inside the soapberry trees. Although most of the wall is made of earth, it is high and wide enough to accommodate many people throwing stones on it.
But his own arrows could not reach the target, as most of them were blocked by the branches of the soapberry tree.
Even if we burn these trees, we probably won’t be able to climb over the wall at the back.
Cao Shen frowned, and suddenly he had the idea of retreating. He regretted that he had rashly brought people to attack the village.
But when he thought that King Cheng's trusted aides were watching nearby, he immediately gave up the idea of retreating.
If I can't even take over a small village, wouldn't I be laughed at
"Attack separately!" Cao Shen ordered his two captains, "I don't believe that a run-down mountain village with less than 200 or 300 people can stop the advance of more than a thousand of us."
As a result, the three gates of Dongchen Village were forcibly broken open by Cao Shen's men, and many people rushed in, but there were arrow towers guarding on both sides of each gate, and for a while, the sounds of fighting and killing were endless.
Some people finally broke through the obstacle of soapberry branches and headed towards the village, fighting with a team of young men led by Chen Zhu.
But the number of rebels increased, and Chen Zhu and others were unable to resist.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Sanlang immediately rushed down the arrow tower and took more than 20 villagers hiding in the arrow tower to rescue.
Yingbao and A Niang remained in the arrow tower, throwing stones at the influx of rebels.
Every time she smashed, she hit the target accurately. Sometimes, when she saw a lot of people below, she would throw out more than a dozen stones as big as bowls at once, knocking down several people at once.
With her assistance, the pressure on Chen Zhu, Jiang Sanlang and others was reduced.
In addition, the bows and arrows of Zhang Meng and others quickly scared the rebels back.
But the situation at the other two gates was not very optimistic, with hundreds of rebels entering the village.
Once they entered the village, they dispersed into teams of dozens and smashed the doors of the villagers' homes, trying to enter and loot their property and food.
That’s right, the purpose of Cao Shen’s trip was to collect food and grass for King Cheng, and to plunder the people’s property.
He went straight to Dongchen Village at the beginning, which was also in response to Yan Jinshan's request.
Because everyone knows that the disciple of the new emperor is in Dongchen Village. As long as she is captured, it will not threaten the new emperor, but it will definitely boost the morale of the king's troops.
Yingbao frowned when she saw a large number of rebels entering the village.
There were too many of them, several times more than the villagers who could fight.
She grabbed A Niang and took her into the cave, then she went down the arrow tower.
There were two or three people under the arrow tower, all of them were young men from the martial arts school. Ying Bao told them to close the stone door under the arrow tower and rushed out herself.
She was wearing a black shorts and had her hair tied up like a teenager. Her face was covered with sackcloth, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Yingbao collected the boulders that she had thrown down, and also collected the swords and guns left behind by the dead rebels, and even the bows and arrows.
He quickly rushed up to several rebels and slashed at them with his sword unexpectedly.
Several people fell down.
Yingbao had a cold expression on her face. She picked up the knife next to them and ran quickly towards her father.
She encountered several rebels on the way, and she killed them all effortlessly.
Yingbao glanced at the Mo Dao in her hand that was still dripping with blood, and suddenly had a strange feeling, as if she was a soldier who had been on the battlefield for a long time. As long as she wanted, killing all the rebels here would be as easy as drinking water.
This is also true.
Yingbao simply went on a killing spree as his heart desired, leaving corpses strewn everywhere he went.
It was as if she was born to be a warrior, fearless and unstoppable.
"Sanlang, look at Yingbao!" Chen Zhu seemed to see a killing god, wielding the Mo Dao like chopping melons and vegetables, so fast that one could not see how she was swinging the sword, and countless rebels had already fallen around her.
Jiang Sanlang turned his head and saw his daughter's figure as fast as the wind. When she passed by the rebels, the rebels fell to the ground.
The rebels who were standing further away also saw this scene. Their faces changed drastically and they turned around and ran away.
Oh my god! What kind of monster is that? It's like a high-speed spinning knife, harvesting lives in large numbers.
"Baoer!" Jiang Sanlang shouted and rushed towards the small figure.
There was something wrong with his daughter. She was in this state and it was scary.
Yingbao suddenly stopped, her mind blank for a moment.
"Baoer! What's wrong with you?" Jiang Sanlang ran to his daughter and carefully removed the hood on her head.
He wanted to see whether this was his daughter.
When he took off the wet headscarf, he saw that his daughter's face was covered in blood. She looked at him coldly, her eyes were bottomless black, and she looked at him as if she were a stranger.
Jiang Sanlang became even more frightened. He wiped the blood off his daughter's face with his sleeve and asked carefully, "Bao'er, I'm your father."
Yingbao gradually regained consciousness, blinked, and turned her head to look behind her.
There were no living people behind her, and the rebels were scared away by her.
"Bao'er, go home quickly." Jiang Sanlang was really worried and advised carefully: "Most of those people have already run away, leave the rest to us."
Yingbao glanced around and saw that the rebels were indeed retreating, so she nodded.
After returning home, Yingbao let A Niang out and fell asleep.
Chunniang was frightened when she saw her daughter's head, face and body covered in blood, and hurried to check if she was injured.
Then I went to boil some hot water for my daughter to wash and change her clothes.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wen, mother and daughter, also lived in Jiang Sanlang's house. They were also surprised to see Yingbao covered in blood.
Mrs. Wen felt Yingbao's pulse and was relieved to find that it was stable. "It's okay, she's just tired. She'll be fine after a good sleep."
Mrs. Wang asked, "Should we prescribe some medicine for her? I see that the child is so dazed, is she frightened?"
"It's okay, her pulse doesn't sound like she's frightened, so she doesn't need to take any medicine," said Mrs. Wen.
Madam Wang tucked the corner of Yingbao's quilt and said, "In that case, let her have a good sleep."
"Um."
Several people left Yingbao's house and stood on the wall to observe the situation outside.
I saw the villagers cleaning up the battlefield, and all the rebels were gone.
"The rebels are gone!" Wen Shu stood on tiptoe and looked outside the village. He vaguely saw those people running down the slope.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wen also saw it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What they didn't know was that Yingbao killed nearly a hundred rebels alone, scaring half of them so much that no matter how Cao Can and the head of the detachment scolded them, they ran away without looking back.
Seeing that most of his troops had fled, Cao Shen did not dare to stay and had to flee in shame, leaving behind more than 300 corpses and seriously injured.
Without blinking an eye, Jiang Sanlang ordered his men to kill the seriously injured and drag them to the cemetery together with the corpses for burial.
There were also casualties among the villagers, but not serious. Jiang Sanlang took out the healing powder and internal medicine given by his daughter and asked Madam Wen and Wu Si to treat those people.
Afterwards, he had the damaged gate of the village repaired and traps and obstacles rearranged.
The whole village was busy until the next day, but Yingbao still didn't wake up.
Chunniang panicked and hurriedly asked Madam Wen to come over: "He has not woken up since yesterday and does not respond even when I call him. What happened?"
