Rise of the Poor

Chapter 1125: The straw man borrows arrows

Views:

Arrows were flying outside the city and snoring was heard from inside the city.

Seeing that the young and strong people on the city walls were resting and recuperating, Zhu Ping'an finally felt relieved. If the people on the city walls could recuperate, the Japanese pirates' scheme to tire out the enemy would be useless.

"Damn, why do those dwarf pirates have so many arrows? Did they rob the armory somewhere? They keep shooting them, what a waste. Our arrows are almost used up."

The complaining voice of the young and strong man on duty reached Zhu Ping'an's ears.

Waste of feather arrows?!

Suddenly, Zhu Ping'an had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought of the scene in the Three Kingdoms period where Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a straw boat. Since the Japanese pirates had many arrows, and their own arrows were almost exhausted, why not "borrow" some arrows from the Japanese pirates outside the city, and then "return" them one by one when they attacked the city!

"Brother Dadao, come here."

Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an stood up from the ground without hesitation and waved to Liu Dadao.

After Zhu Ping'an stood up, a heart-shaped wet mark appeared on the ground where he was sitting, well, the shape of a butt.

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that there is a heart-shaped wet mark on the buttocks of the official uniform that Zhu Ping'an is wearing, which is exactly the same as the wet mark on the ground. No, it is exactly the same.

After Zhu Ping'an stood up, he seemed to have thought of something. After calling Liu Dadao, Zhu Ping'an sat down again without leaving any trace.

In fact, when Liu Xin shot over Zhu Ping'an's bowl and broke his chopsticks, Zhu Ping'an showed the demeanor of a great general and impressed and inspired everyone. Zhu Ping'an remained expressionless, but in fact his urethral sphincter had already gone out of control!

Zhu Ping'an is not a god, nor is he an emotional machine. This is a very normal physiological reaction when being frightened.

When the first arrow shot down Zhu Ping'an's rice bowl, Zhu Ping'an said in his heart, "Fuck!", and his heart almost jumped out of his throat. However, in an emergency, Zhu Ping'an's ability to respond is very strong. Although he was very frightened in his heart, his face remained calm and composed.

Lost!

Just a coincidence!

Zhu Ping'an also hinted to himself in his heart that this arrow knocking over the rice bowl was just a coincidence. Such a coincidence would never happen again.

Clinker!

The second feather arrow came, brushed past Zhu Ping'an's scalp, and shot off the chopsticks that Zhu Ping'an was using to add more food.

It's so fucking exciting!

The urethral sphincter is excited...

Of course, just like when the first feather arrow overturned the rice bowl, Zhu Ping'an's strong ability to respond was demonstrated. Even though his sphincter was out of control, his face remained calm and composed, as if he had no emotions.

In the eyes of everyone, General Zhu Ping'an displayed the demeanor of a great general to the fullest, and remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapse!

But, family members know their own business.

If everyone discovered him... ... So Zhu Ping'an stood up, then suddenly remembered and quickly sat down again.

"Sir."

When Liu Dadao heard Zhu Ping'an calling him, he quickly trotted over.

"Big Knife, sit down and talk."

After Liu Dadao came over, Zhu Ping'an sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to push down, allowing Liu Dadao to sit down.

Liu Dadao sat down in response.

"Dadao, have you heard of the story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat?" Zhu Ping'an asked.

Liu Dadao shook his head.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. So, you organize some people and ask the elders and villagers in the city to help. Make some scarecrows according to the height of normal people. Make as many as possible. After making them, put our clothes on the scarecrows and put them in a conspicuous place where they can be easily shot. Let the Japanese pirates shoot as many arrows as possible at the scarecrows. Don't the Japanese pirates have a lot of feather arrows? We can "borrow" some from them, and when they attack the city, we can "return" them one by one."

Zhu Ping'an said to Liu Dadao.

Liu Dadao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he promised confidently, "Don't worry, sir. I'll do it right away. I've made scarecrows before. There are many birds in the millet field. When the millet starts to fill, we will make some scarecrows and put them in the millet field to drive away the birds. This time, I guarantee that the bastards outside the city will bleed profusely."

"Okay, the sooner the better, the more the better." Zhu Ping'an nodded happily and patted Liu Dadao on the shoulder.

"Sir, I'll do it right away." Liu Dadao took the order and stood up.

Liu Dadao organized more than 100 young and strong people who had made scarecrows on the city wall and asked the elders and villagers in the city to help find some straw. When the people in the city heard that the county magistrate wanted to make a scarecrow to borrow arrows from the "Japanese pirates" outside the city, they all actively supported it. They not only pulled several carts of straw and several bundles of hemp ropes, but also helped make the scarecrows.

With the help of many hands, the fire burned brighter, and with the enthusiastic support of the people living in the city, more than 200 scarecrows were soon made.

Liu Dadao and his men took off their cloth breastplate and put it on the scarecrow. From a distance, the scarecrow looked exactly like the young man on duty.

Liu Dadao and his men squatted and placed the scarecrow guards at the entrances of the city walls and other locations that were easy to attack and be discovered. Every now and then they would deliberately stick half of their bodies out, as if they were observing the movements of the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates who were responsible for harassment under the city found that some "young and strong civilians" on the city wall dared to show their faces, and some of them even dared to stick their heads out to look, trying to spy on our military situation.

"I'm dead!"

A Japanese pirate archer drew a feather arrow from the quiver at his waist without hesitation, put it on the bowstring, aimed at the head of the young and strong citizen who was looking for death on the city wall, pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and released his fingers.

whoosh!

The arrow flew straight up the city wall, hit the target, and accurately hit the forehead of the "young and strong citizen" on the city wall.

After being shot by an arrow, the "young and strong civilian" on the city wall paused for two seconds. Hmm? Not dead? The Japanese pirate archer was stunned for a moment. However, soon, in the third second, the "young and strong civilian" fell to the ground with a bang.

"Yoshi!"

The Japanese pirate archer couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, waved his hands vigorously, and celebrated excitedly.

After the "young and strong citizen" fell down, a second later, another "young and strong citizen" appeared to take his place on duty.

"Hey, here comes another one who is not afraid of death."

The Japanese pirate archer pulled up the corner of his lips, revealing a sarcastic smile, then he pulled out a feather arrow at lightning speed, quickly put it on the bowstring, and shot the arrow like flowing water.

whoosh!

The arrow seemed to have eyes. It flew up the city wall at lightning speed and hit the forehead of the "young and strong civilian" who was filling in the position. The young and strong civilian fell down with a loud bang!

"Yoshi! I'll let you die! I'll satisfy you!"

The Japanese pirate archer couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth again, and waved his hands vigorously again, celebrating excitedly.

There are many such Japanese pirate archers under the city.

For a moment, they all accurately captured the "young and strong people" on the city wall and shot them down one after another...

On the city wall, young and strong people were excitedly collecting intact feather arrows and piling them up in piles.
