"I've already asked them to do it!" Zhang Shu said with anxiety on his face, "But we can't stop more than 200 rogues with our eighty or so young men. And if we can't solve these problems in a short time Rogues, as time goes by, more refugees will join the rogues, at that time we simply cannot stop them."

"Have you sent someone to the county for help?"

"Sent!" Zhang Shu shook his head and said, "But it should be useless."

"Why is it useless?" Luo Xin asked in surprise.How could Xin Dao be useless based on his relationship with Zhou Zhi County?Besides, Zhang Shu also knows about his relationship with Zhouzhi County!
"The county magistrate doesn't command soldiers, and he can't mobilize them. Just rely on his servants? So he can only go to the Bai Zongbing stationed outside the county seat, where there are [-] soldiers. But at this time, Bai Zongbing may also He will not send troops, he is afraid that once a large group of rogues attack the county seat. So he must be ready to enter the city at any time and defend the city with the magistrate. As for the surrounding villages, they can only ask for their own blessings."

Luo Xin bowed his head and thought for a while, then he knew in his heart that no matter how much Zhou Zhifu tried to persuade him, President Bai would not send troops.His duty is to guard the county seat.As long as he defends the county seat, it is a great achievement. What does it matter how many people die in the surrounding villages?
"So we are the only ones to solve it?" Luo Xin said in a calm voice.

"That's right!" Zhang Shu nodded and said, "What can Xin'er do?"

"Uncle Zhang, teacher, uncle, what can you do?"

The three scholars spread their hands together, and then all shook their heads.Finally Zhang Shu sighed and said:

"What else can I do? I can only stick to it."

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "But, didn't you say that if you hold on for too long, other refugees will join the bandits? Once they grow to 500 or even 1000 people, we can't resist them at all."

"Then what can I do?" Luo Zhi said with a gray face.

"When will the bandits arrive?"

"It should be here at noon." Lin Chang's face was also very ugly.

Luo Xin frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way.The four of them just sat in the study, frowning. Someone made a suggestion, and everyone discussed it together, but in the end nothing came to fruition. Until noon, they saw a member of Zhang Shu's family rushing in.

"Master, it's not good, the bandits are here!"

"What are you panicking!" Zhang Shu shouted sullenly, and the servant stood there with a pale face.Zhang Shu stood up and said:

"Come on, let's go and see!"

The four stood up and walked towards the door.Soon after driving to the wooden village at the head of the village, they saw billowing smoke and dust flying in the distance, and more than 200 men in ragged clothes were rushing towards the head of the village.They had everything in their hands, some with real weapons, knives and guns, but most of the men still held hoes, shovels, sticks, rakes, and even kitchen knives.

From Luo Xin's point of view, these people are not even a motley crew, they can only be regarded as a round of refugees gathered together.But their eyes are full of cruelty, as long as they can grab a ration, they will not hesitate to kill.Once they are allowed to go on like this, it will soon be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. At that time, they will no longer be bandits, but will become a large army, causing unpredictable harm, and countless innocent people will die in their hands. hands.

"Get ready!" Zhang Shu shouted loudly.

The hunters in the village began to draw their bows and arrows, and the rest of the men, regardless of whether they were light or strong, also stood in front of the fence, laying stones that had been prepared in front of them. At this time, every man There is a stone in your hand, ready to throw it at any time.

Luo Xin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.This is not when he and his eldest brother met Wang Sigou and three people ambushing him. At that time, only three people ambushed himself and his eldest brother.But at this time, there were more than 200 people rushing towards him, and Luo Xin was suffocated by the fierceness of the oncoming attack.

Luo Xin glanced left and right, and saw Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi's legs were trembling slightly.Not to mention those villagers, at this time, the eyes of those villagers were looking at Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi, the three scholars from time to time.Seeing the pale faces of the three scholars, the faces of the villagers also began to show panic.

At this time, Luo Qing squeezed over and said in a low voice: "Little brother, we can't go on like this. If we go on like this, the momentum will be gone. I'm afraid those rogues will collapse once they attack us."

Luo Xin turned his head to look at his elder brother, and saw that Luo Qing's face was full of excitement, but there was no trace of panic.I can't help but be sure, my eldest brother is really a general!Unlike myself, when it comes to military tactics and tactics, he usually speaks clearly and logically, but once faced with a war, he is not as calm as his elder brother.

"Brother is right! What do you think?" Luo Xin also lowered his voice and asked.

"Let's go out and charge! As long as we beat them once, our morale will rise." Luo Qing's face was flushed with excitement.

"Wu Chi's mentality is different from that of ordinary people!"

Luo Xin couldn't help sighing in his heart, there were more than 200 vicious men on the opposite side, and the elder brother actually wanted to go out and kill them.Seeing that Luo Xin didn't speak, Luo Qing became a little anxious.He lowered his voice and said:
"Little brother, don't hesitate. You once said that the momentum of war is very important. If the momentum is strong, we can overcome the strong with the weak. If the momentum is weak, we will be defeated. If we don't raise the momentum, we will not be able to stop a wave of attacks." .”

At this time, Luo Xin had calmed down, knowing that what the elder brother said made sense, just look at the surrounding villagers, except for the dozen or so hunters and the few servants with martial arts, and grandpa, father, uncle and Cousin, the rest of the villagers are starting to tremble in their thighs.

"Uncle Zhang!" Luo Xin whispered.

"Xin'er!"

Zhang Shu suddenly turned his head, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi also looked over.The surrounding villagers also looked over, their eyes full of hope.

"Gather those who have horses in the village, and then gather those who are eighty young and strong. Let's go out for a while!"

"Xin'er, are you crazy?" Zhang Shuda opened his mouth and said.

"No, it's too dangerous!" Luo Zhi also said hastily.

"Listen up, old and young men of Shanglin Village!" At this time, the 200 or so bandits on the opposite side stopped about 150 meters away from the wooden village, and a man riding a big horse with a big knife in his hand shouted loudly:
"We came to Shanglin Village for no other purpose than to borrow food. This year is not good, everyone is starving, poor old and young masters, as long as you send out your food, we will leave immediately."
