After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 39 Insufficient Greed
They wandered around to check out the villages and villages around the county. They wrote down all the villages and villages that were not particularly well-guarded.

After that, whether it was stealing or robbing, in short, they were determined not to let the aborigines who guarded them as thieves escape unscathed.

Originally, they planned to randomly pick Zhuangzi, a small but wealthy man, to do it tonight and snatch out the food stored by those big dogs. They also planned to grab some gold, silver and jewelry to prepare for their return to their hometown in glory. As a result, the Meng family... As soon as the pigs were slaughtered, the sheep were stewed, and the chickens were stewed, all the refugees who smelled the smell were immediately attracted.

Those who are honest and peaceful just want to take a few breaths of this aroma, and those who love fantasy just hope that the Meng family can stew some unwanted bones and other things into some soup and distribute it to them tomorrow, but those who are because of the same evil The refugees gathered together with the smell, but they did not hesitate to select the Meng family as their targets tonight to "do justice for heaven, rob the rich and give to the poor".

They mingled among the refugees who were intoxicated and inhaled the aroma, gritting their teeth and cursing the Meng family for being unbecoming.

"Damn it, I don't even have enough to eat, but they, the big dogs, can eat meat and feast on us through a wall. Is there any fucking justice in this world?"

"That's right, you said that the man named Meng is a great benevolent person, what a bullshit great benevolent person!"

"If you ask me, these big dog owners don't have any good things! They talk about providing relief to the victims, but in the end, all they give out are things they don't want!"

"The rice is all moldy, and some of it has pebbles mixed in. Ugh! It's so fucking heartless!"

"."

They were cursing there, and the refugees they heard did not dare to raise their opinions even if they had different opinions. After all, there were many lessons learned from the past, and they did not want to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and die miserably together with their families.

After enough scolding, the leading refugees were finally willing to wander back to the woods to discuss their plan of action for the night.

They asked their confidants to guard outside the forest and not allow other refugees to approach.

What the few refugees who thought they were doing secretive things didn't know was that Yu Zizhen knew about their plans just as much as they did themselves.

After eating and drinking, and writing a few big words with Yao Guang and Yu Heng, Yu Zizhen, who was "not feeling well", went into the house early to wash up and rest.

In order to take care of her schedule, Mr. Jiang and others also went to bed earlier than usual that night.

A group of people slept from the beginning of Xu Shi (7 p.m.) to the end of Zi Shi (1 a.m.). One of the guards in charge hurriedly woke up Mr. Jiang who was sleeping in the east wing of the front yard of Mengjiazhuang.

Although the Meng family gave up the front yard and the second courtyard, as polite and well-educated lodgers, Yu Zizhen and Mr. Jiang did not occupy the room that originally belonged to the Meng family and his son.

They chose the east wing of the second courtyard and the front courtyard in a tacit understanding, and the others either lived with them or divided up the west wing and the reverse room of the two courtyards.

The two teams of guards responsible for guarding lived in the back-seat room in the front yard. However, they did not fall asleep together like the others. Instead, each team was responsible for patrolling the front yard and second courtyard of Mengjiazhuang. Two and a half hours.

As for the east-west cross-yard, the people living there are people from the capital, and their safety issues are not under the control of the guards of Zhenbei Palace.The soldiers they bring with them will be responsible for the security and inspection of their side.

Hearing something wrong outside, the guard jumped up on the wall to observe the situation outside.

With this observation, they could see all the refugees who were rushing towards Mengjiazhuang.

"Mr. Jiang, a group of refugees has come outside. There are about eight or nine hundred people in total. They are all armed with sticks, shovels and the like. It is obvious that the people who came here are evil."

When the guard reported back, the sound of refugees banging on the door was heard outside Mengjiazhuang.

While putting on his outer robe, Mr. Jiang said to the guards: "Go call your leader and ask him to immediately organize manpower to protect Zhuangzi!" The guards responded "Yes" and immediately went to the west wing and the reverse wing to pat the doors and windows.

The head guard and other guards quickly got up, put on their shoes, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the house.

At the same time, Mr. Jiang also sent two other long followers to report the news to people from the capital across the east and west courtyards.

There are 900 people. If they are not dealt with properly, the guards in their team will inevitably suffer casualties.

"You stay here to protect the Crown Prince and Mr. Jiang. The others are following me!" The leader of the guards raised his arms and shouted. Except for the ten-man team that he signaled with his gesture to stay behind, the other guards immediately followed his footsteps and headed towards They rushed to the main entrance and side entrance of Mengjiazhuang.

One main entrance and two side entrances. Compared with the tall courtyard walls, they are weak points that are easy to break through. As the guard leader ran forward, he ordered his two deputies, "First use bows and arrows to shock, and then kill a group of other people." Be honest."

One of the deputies hesitantly reminded his leader, "We... shoot civilians?"

The leader of the guards took a deep breath, "They are not civilians, they are rioters."

Du Minghuo attacked the local squire's village, and the guard leader did not dare to treat them as weak.

He said: "There is a four-fold difference in numbers. If we cannot scare them from the beginning, when they break into the courtyard, we guards will be the first to suffer."

The murderous refugees don't care whether you are a court official or a palace guard. Over the past dynasties, there have been so many people who overthrew the old dynasty and killed all the relatives and nobles of the previous dynasty that they can't even be counted on one hand.

Death by oneself or death by others is a multiple-choice question with an easy answer.

When the leader of the guards said this, his two deputies immediately tightened the strings in their minds.

The two of them each led a team of guards to guard the side entrance, while the leader of the guards led more guards to guard the main entrance.

The main entrance was the main target of the refugees. When the leader of the guards rushed over, they had already smashed the main entrance of Mengjiazhuang into pieces.

Seeing that the refugees were about to break in, the leader of the guards decisively ordered, "Fire arrows!"

Swish, swish, a wave of arrows shot straight at the surging refugees at the moment the gate fell to the ground.

Wave after wave of refugees kept falling down like leeks, and their corpses piled up a hill at the entrance of Mengjiazhuang.

Hundreds of people died, and the refugees at the back finally became frightened.

No matter how intimidating and tempting the leading refugees were, the refugees they treated as cannon fodder were unwilling to move forward.

Seeing that rushing forward would lead to death, and retreating would lead to death, the refugees simply dispersed and no longer circled around the leading refugees.

Although the leading refugees also have some close subordinates, it would be extremely difficult for them to stop other refugees.

After a while, the refugees who were driven forward by their interests disappeared into the vast night.
