Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 77 They fled to the inner village and were blocked by the villagers

No matter how fierce they were, they could not fight four people alone. They soon fell into a disadvantage in the melee. Finally, under the command of the captain, the remaining dozen people escaped. They had lost their direction and fled directly towards the mountains. They agreed on a general direction and fled in four waves. The soldiers who chased them had no choice but to chase them separately.

The captain led his guards and ran towards Shili Village where Su He's family lived. They fled desperately along the way, and with their high martial arts value, they escaped the sight of the pursuers.

When I ran to the vicinity of the village, I found that the village had a high wall, and it seemed that there were people patrolling on it. What kind of village is this? Why is it so vigilant? In fact, according to the news from the border town, when the war was about to start, the village formed a patrol team under the leadership of the village chief. When they found the enemy, they would ring the gong as a signal, and the young and old would hide directly. Sparse gong points mean that there are few enemies, so they hide on the spot. Dense gong points mean that there are many enemies, and the young and old in the village will hide in the mountains.

When these people ran here, someone had heard the noise. It was already evening, and the sound of any noise would be heard from far away. Today, the young man nicknamed Monkey was on duty, and he was still very alert. Someone coming at this time was not a good thing, so they beat the gong first. When they ran closer and saw this person from a distance, he had a weapon in his hand, so they kept beating the gong.

Every household in the village already knew what the gong sound meant. Su He's father and uncle immediately picked up their hoes and iron rods and ran towards the village entrance. Su He's mother and grandmother took the children to their own cellars. Of course, there was a passage between their two homes. After a while, grandmother and the others came to Su He's cellar. Because there was an underground room under the Su He's cellar, it could accommodate two families. When grandmother and the others came, they directly blocked the connected passage door, and added several layers of earthen doors, so that no empty sound would be heard when knocking from the opposite side. In this way, even if grandmother's cellar was discovered, Su He's family would not be chased. If Su He's family was unsafe, they could run to the back mountain or enter the last underground room.

Su He applied all the methods of building secret rooms that he knew in his previous life here, in order to save everyone's lives. They listened to the noise outside with trepidation in their hearts, and opened the small door in the well, so that they could hear the noise in the yard outside and the noise outside the yard not far away.

At this time, the young men in the village stood on the wall with kitchen knives and farm tools, and some lit torches to illuminate the road leading to the village. At this time, the captain of Dongjie State had arrived. He knew that he had to fight hard now, otherwise he would have to flee to the fields, but there were still pursuers behind him. The fields had just been harvested, and there was no shelter at all. He would soon be discovered.

They rushed here without saying anything. The villagers would definitely not let them get close. The stones picked up by the children came in handy. The villagers took turns to throw stones at these people. As soon as they got close, all the stones fell down. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you can't withstand the attack of so many stones. These people had no choice but to run to the fields. The villagers would definitely not chase them. Their kitchen knives and farm tools were not on the same level as the enemy's swords. As long as they didn't harm their own village, they didn't care where they ran.

The village chief also told every household in the village to hide and not go inside to sleep, leaving only adult men in the village to form a team to patrol the village and see what the situation is. The enemy has not run far, so it is better to be careful.

The captains of Dongjie State were very tired because they had come here on foot because horses were not easy to walk in the mountains. They had originally thought that they could rob horses by looting a town, and then they could attack everywhere. But they were blocked in their first attack, and it was a desperate attack, which completely ruined their plan.

They ran to the nearest mountain and tried to escape back to Dongjie. Their operation failed this time, and they needed to go back to report the situation here. Ansheng was well prepared, and they needed to make long-term plans. The border people here were also very fierce, and their small group of troops was not enough to fight here. If they brought a thousand troops with them this time, a small town should be easily flattened. But they needed to escape back first, because they could see the pursuers coming from a distance, searching towards them, and these people were very fast because they were riding horses.
