fisherwoman

The women gathered in the open space not far from the ferry. They held their breath and did not dare to vent their breath. They watched the dozens of sailing boats approaching on the river, and they attacked them silently like phantoms. They felt trembling all over their bodies, and a fear they had never felt before suddenly invaded their hearts on this cold moon night, making them feel suffocated and desperate.

The woman from Haojiashiqiao stood there expressionlessly in a newly made military uniform, her long black hair tied in a black hat with a white border, her graceful and graceful figure hidden in a wide robe, which was originally intended for The clothes sewed by the men are now worn on her body.

When they heard that the governor's wife was going to lead them to the ferry to meet the enemy, they hesitated.

But the big speaker disapprovingly persuaded that instead of sitting at home and waiting to die, it is better to come out and gamble to see it, maybe you can protect your family and yourself, and everything is to follow the orders of the governor's wife.

Seeing that they were silent, the loudspeaker used his trump card and shouted, isn't the governor's wife's life worth more than yours?She has gone, what are we afraid of?Even if you want to escape, it's too late now!

When the women heard this, they put on their military uniforms and came to the ferry in silence.

After all, there are old people and children at home!

But, how can a woman meet the enemy if she has no strength to restrain her?

Wouldn't he die in vain?

What are you doing just in military uniform?

not understand!

Of course, some did not come, and they cried that they would rather die at home than risk their lives at the ferry.

Big Horn is very helpless about this, but he will not force this matter.With all her efforts, she brought over 200 women from the village.

The rest of the people came to take refuge in the coastal villages, and there were about 200 people. They were all the remaining women from the three coastal villages, and they were all fisherwomen. Those who rolled up their sleeves and arrived at the ferry, had no choice but to have no home.The town is just a place to live temporarily, the town is not peaceful, where can they go... .

At this time, everyone was looking at Lin Xueman in bewilderment, with doubts and confusion in their eyes.Of course there is more hope.

Lin Xueman had never been to this ferry before, as soon as she got here, she hurriedly checked the surrounding terrain, she turned her head to look at the shadow of the boat approaching on the river, walked quickly in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Sisters. The Yuezhi army is on the river, and I asked everyone to come. I don’t want everyone to come and fight hard. No matter how many people we have, we can’t beat them. At the front, the ones with rough voices are in order. The rest of the people just stand behind holding torches, and everyone hastened to line up. When I tell you to shout, you should shout loudly, especially those with rough voices. Shout with the greatest strength in your life, I won’t let you stop, so don’t stop, success or failure depends on one move, we must work together to tide over the difficulties.”

Lin Xueman said, looking at the women standing in front of her, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She gathered these four to five hundred people here, and she could only succeed but not fail. She didn't dare to think, what would happen if she failed?

"Madam means to let everyone be men to scare away those enemies." Da Horn added, because Lin Xueman had discussed it with her beforehand, and Da Horn also felt that there was no better way other than this, and the two hit it off.

So it is!Everyone has an epiphany.

"Then what if they see through?" someone in the crowd asked worriedly.

"That's right!" The crowd whispered again, if they saw through it, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

If they knew that it was just a group of women yelling here, they would naturally rush forward without any restraint, and by then, they would have no room to escape...

"It's night now, and we're wearing military uniforms, so they can't tell whether the people on the shore are men or women. Don't worry about this!" Lin Xueman turned and pointed to the withered and yellow reeds beside the ferry. Under the blowing of the wind, it swayed gently and made a rustling sound. She turned her head and said to the crowd, "Have you seen it? If they have any doubts and insist on coming up to investigate, let's light those reeds and take the torches." Throw them at them, Luzhi County has already sent reinforcements to the seaside, we just need to hold on for more than half an hour!"

In fact, Lin Xueman had no idea how long it would take to move in reinforcements.

After all, what Xu Yuanqi was facing was the main force of the Yueshi, so it was hard to say whether he could spare some people...

Lin Xueman noticed that all the reeds were leaning towards the river with the wind, which meant that the wind direction at this time was very favorable to him. Once those reeds were ignited, the fire would spread towards the river...

"Did you hear that? Although we are women, we must have confidence." The loudspeaker caught Lin Xueman's eyes knowingly, strode forward a few steps, and said in a rough voice, "Sisters, we must not be afraid, we must Persevere until our man comes back, will everyone say it can be done?"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and their emotions were mobilized. Anyway, it has already come, and there is no possibility of retreating. If it is dead anyway, it is better to fight. Well!no problem!

Seeing the governor's wife and the head's daughter-in-law calm and confident, they gradually relaxed in their hearts.

"Okay!" Lin Xueman was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, she looked back at the approaching shadow of the boat on the river, and said calmly: "Everyone, get ready, they are coming!"

Under the command of the loudspeaker, the crowd immediately prepared in a hurry, quickly adjusted their formation, and walked quietly towards the ferry.

The shadow of the boat on the river ran towards the shore silently against the wind.

"Let's moor the boat at that patch of reeds, then go ashore and kill them, and then go back to fight with them. Remember, we are here to slaughter the town, not to rob women!" The man on the boat whispered, "Be careful with your men! people, just kill them and burn them wherever they go.”

"Yes, this subordinate understands that with the skills of more than 200 of us, one hour is more than enough." Another person replied with a relaxed expression.

The two of them were talking, when they suddenly saw flames on the bank.A large group of people appeared as if they had fallen from the sky, shouting everywhere: Come on! "

The deafening sound almost capsized their boat.

what happened?

Doesn't it mean that there are no men in the town?

"Stop, stop!" The leader was taken aback. He hurriedly got up and gave orders to the boat behind him, then turned around and said to the people around him, "Didn't you say that there are no men in the town? Why are there so many people?"

On the shore, countless fire lights are connected together, reflected on the water and in everyone's eyes, like pieces of burning clouds.

The overwhelming shouts were sonorous and powerful.One after another.

"Head, this subordinate really got the news that all the men in the town have gone to the beach. What, why are there so many people?" The person beside him looked suspiciously at the countless dancing lights on the shore. "impossible!"

"What's impossible? Then who do you think these people are?" The leader looked at the flames and the deafening shouts, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that people from Dingyuan Town came after them?"

"The man from Qin Sanlang? No way! Counting the time, they won't be able to arrive at this time!" The people around him hesitated, "Why don't you take someone over there to have a look?"

"You don't want to die, they seem to be quite crowded. And they have already found us! Are you sure you can come back alive?" The leader stood up and looked at the crowd on the shore.He said again, "Don't be in a hurry, just take a look, I don't think they are going to take the initiative to attack, they probably just want to prevent us from going ashore!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the boat behind him, "Everyone stay put and stand by. Don't act rashly. Let's see the situation before we talk."

The rest of the ship got orders.Busy stopped.

"Ma'am, they have stopped moving forward!" Big Trumpet looked at the boats spinning on the river, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "We stunned them, they dare not move forward!"

"Stop shouting, everyone!" Lin Xueman waved her hands behind her.

Everyone hurriedly stopped.

The shore suddenly became quiet, only countless torches were shaking.

Seeing that the boat on the river did not go away, everyone was overjoyed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't go ashore, it would be fine, and it could be dragged for a while.

Lin Xueman looked at the boats on the river and saw that they seemed to be watching. After thinking for a while, she held up her skirt, turned around and said to the loudspeaker who had been standing beside her: "Sister-in-law, lead some people to pull all the wooden sticks in the village to Come here, the more the better, remember to pour more oil, it is of course good to scare them away, if you can't scare them away, you can only light a fire!"

"En." Without further ado, Big Speaker found a few people at random, and ran away in response.

Under the moonlight, the two sides confronted each other for a while.

On the river, the boat was swaying back and forth, and the sharp eyes of the people on the boat were silently watching the flames dancing on the bank. It seemed that these people did not take the initiative to attack at all, but were just defending, because there was no boat in front of them.

The leader waved his hand at a small boat beside him, and the people on board understood, and sailed silently towards the reeds.

"They're coming!" The people on the shore suddenly became nervous.

"Don't panic, don't move." Lin Xueman held her breath, stared at the small boat, turned her head and said in a deep voice, "Get the torches ready, listen to my password, when I say throw them, throw all the torches in your hands! Remember, throw it into the reeds." Her voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"Hmm." Everyone responded in low voices.

Seeing that the people on the shore did not move at all, they just watched them quietly, and the people on the boat couldn't help but feel a little nervous. With the help of the moonlight and the dancing torches, they could see clearly that the people on the shore were all wearing military uniforms in the yamen. It's some yamen servants...

But, where are there so many yamen servants?

The people on board looked at each other suspiciously.

"What are you doing whimpering? I'll go over and see how many people they are afraid of. Let's go up and kill them. We can't just go back and do some business, right?" The people on another small boat murmured and rowed over.

Several other boats followed and rowed slowly into the reeds. Seeing the flames dancing on the shore, they hesitated for a moment, not daring to go any further. They just looked at the leader in unison, whether to charge or not?

Suddenly, there was another deafening shout on the shore, and a red fire was reflected in front of my eyes. Countless torches rained down on the reeds, and those reeds ignited all of a sudden, burning more and more vigorously, and the flames covered the sky and covered the sky Leaping towards them, the flames shone into their eyes, glowing red.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" No wonder the people on the shore didn't move, they were waiting for them here, the leader hurriedly ordered, the flames sprayed from all directions were about to burn him.

The rest of the boats received the order and turned back in embarrassment. The flames burning around them almost reached the boats!

"Madam, they have already withdrawn, so shall we still throw away the torches?" Big Trumpet ran over panting and asked, she had just led a cart full of oiled wooden sticks.

"Throw it, keep throwing it, don't let the fire go out, burn it for as long as it can!" Lin Xueman was relieved when she saw them turn around and row back through the smoke, and she fell down and sat by the river On the rock, only to find that my clothes are soaked through!

Everyone got excited immediately, and they took the wooden sticks off the cart one after another, and threw them vigorously towards the burning reeds. The flames burned more and more intensely, reflecting the whole night sky red, as if they were going to burn into the sky...

"Head, let's..." The people on the boat looked back at the still raging fire and asked helplessly.

"Let's withdraw!" The leader sighed, looked at the flames with hatred, and gritted his teeth, "This time they are cheaper." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation , monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation.)
