The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 64
"Why don't our family hide in Wuying Town during this time? Where is the city wall, so it's not easy for the villagers to break in!" Grandpa's sigh gave Song Yingkui the idea of ​​running away.There is only an earthen wall at home, how can it prevent the rioting border residents?Wuying Town has a city wall, which can give people a sense of security.

"The walls of our Wuying town have not been managed for decades. Besides, the town is full of thoughtful businessmen and there is no garrison. Once the villagers come here, Wuying town will be broken, and there will be no way to hide." Song Tianshun opened his mouth and said something that disappointed Song Yingkui. He understood the situation of Wuying town better than his grandson.

"Where in the past, if we encountered such troubles, the people in our village would run there to hide from the disaster?" Looking at his grandfather, he seemed to have some knowledge and experience in dealing with such things, Song Yingkui hurriedly asked for advice humbly.

"When I was young, there were riots in our area. The Yangjiabao was built at that time by Mr. Yang to escape the disaster. When the castle was built, the people from the village went to help. Their family said that when there was a big disturbance, the people from the village could go there to hide. Over the years, the people from the village have also escaped disasters inside several times. This time, the place where they can hide is the Yangjiabao." Grandpa said the place of refuge he thought of.

"Yangjiabao? Their fort is much smaller than Wuying City. Could it be a place of refuge?" Song Yingkui passed by Yangjiabao every day, and the fort looked like a big village with thicker walls. It might not be as safe as Wuying Town.

"Whether a bunker can take refuge or not depends not only on its size, but also on the solidarity of the people guarding the bunker. The people who go to the Yangjiabao to take refuge are people from our village, and they must be more reliable than the businessmen on Wuying Street. There are a few bows and a crossbow that have been handed down from the Yang family. Everyone in their family can use them. It is definitely better to have these references than going to Wuying."

After listening to his grandfather's explanation, Song Yingkui thought it made sense.The size of a city does not matter, the key lies in the strength of its defense.As long as the hearts of the people are united, no matter how small the fort is, it will be difficult to break through.When the hearts of the people are scattered, no matter how strong a city is, it is difficult to hold it.In addition, there are long-range attack weapons such as bows and crossbows in Yangjiabao. In comparison, it is indeed safer than Wuying Town.

In the next few days, bad news kept coming.The rebels captured Hezhou City, and now they are attacking Didao County.Also, the Tubo tribe, who are in the same spirit as the Linhe people, mobilized their main force to send troops to the Ningxi Weicheng southwest of Wazhou City.

The Acropolis of Ningxi is the gate of Wazhou, the capital of Xisu Province, to defend the Tubo grassland in the southwest. Most of Dazheng's main force in Xisu is involved there, and it is difficult to free up his hands to quell the chaos in Linhe.

Judging from the movements of the main force of Tubo and the people on the Linhe side, this disturbance was planned for a long time, and it was not a sudden intention. The situation is a bit serious.

"Di Dao County has been demolished, Wuying Street is in disarray now, everyone is running out." The second uncle on Wuying Street took a few family members from the shop and ran home in a hurry, bringing back even worse news.

Didao County and Wuying Town are separated by a large group of mountains. Once Didao City is broken, the rebellious foreigners can follow the mountain road and enter Wuying from the mouth of Huangshiping Gorge or the Niujiagou River at any time.The Niujiagou River is the upper reaches of Liujiaying Xiaohezi, only separated from Yangjiabao by a small mountain ridge.

Now it is no longer a question of whether the rebels will come to Wuying Town, the real question is when will they come.

"Yang Shunan, a bastard, can do such inhuman things. When Yang's family built the fort, which family in the village didn't do their best? When they encounter difficulties, the fort becomes their family's property, and the people in the village can't avoid it!"

After the news of the destruction of Didao City came, Grandpa, Grandpa and other people from the village rushed to Yangjiabao to discuss the matter of evacuation.As a result, Yang Shun'an, the chief treasurer of the Yangjiabao, said that the Baozi is too small now, and it can only be used for the Yang family to hide in. Other people in the village cannot hide in it.

Yangjiabao is indeed narrow, but at such a time, what's the problem if everyone squeezes together?It's a bit too much for the Yang family to do so.But having said that, the Yang family does have a bit of capital to die.There are three No. 40 males of their nature, and there are bows and arrows in the castle, and the most important thing is that people in their family can make bows and arrows.If they guard a small fort, their own people are enough, why let outsiders in to make trouble?

When the disaster is imminent, everyone will fly separately. In times of crisis, everyone wants to protect themselves first.In order to protect their own family, the Yang family made the most heartless choice.If they do this, how will they gain a foothold in the village in the future?Hey, for this kind of thing, first of all, the other surnames in the village have to survive this chaos.If you can't survive, how can you settle accounts after autumn!

"Kui Wa, you have a lot of ideas, what do you think our family can think of to avoid this disaster?" After scolding the Yang family for a while, the grandfather turned his attention to his grandnephew Song Yingkui.

"There are more than a dozen males in our family. His Yang family is heartless, so let's figure out how to do it ourselves. I took a look and found that the soil on the back cliff of our house is very suitable for digging a kiln. In the past few days, let's quickly dig a deep kiln. When the time comes, the whole family will hide in. As long as the men guard the kiln entrance, the semi-fans can only watch." These days, Song Yingkui is also thinking about how to find a way to avoid this chaos if the Yangjiabao is not well guarded.After thinking about it for a long time, the only thing that came to mind was digging a kiln.

Hiding in the kiln, the defensive area will be much smaller. With the man in the family and his two muskets, the probability of guarding the kiln entrance is quite high.

"Dig the kiln? If the fans block the entrance of the cave and put smoke in it, our whole family will be smoked inside." The grandpa didn't quite agree with the idea of ​​digging the kiln. It's easy to guard the kiln entrance, but it's easy to think of a way to break the kiln.The rioters are not fools.

"It's easy to handle. When we dig the kiln, we first dig in from the ground, and then dig a vertical hole up. Finally, we dig a second floor, and the second floor can be pulled out from the cliff. Then we will put some big stones on the second floor. Watching the villagers hit the entrance of our kiln with big stones, I still don't believe that their bones are harder than stones. Another thing, I also made a thing that can hit people from a distance. I hid in the hole on the second floor and aimed at people. Either death or injury. In the next few days, I will go to the shop to make some crossbows and knives, so that our family can have more ways to save their lives."

Now that we think of digging a kiln, we can naturally think of ways to prevent smoke and fire attack.The cliff facing the backyard of the Song family was twenty or thirty feet high, and by digging a multi-storey tunnel, a three-dimensional fortification could be built.What Song Yingkui regrets the most is that he didn't make a small cannon in advance, and it's a bit too late to cast a cannon now, otherwise, if he has a local cannon in his hand, no matter how many foreigners he comes, he can look forward to the cliff and sigh!
