Chapter 112 Entering the village
Chapter 112 Entering the village
After hearing this, County Magistrate Cheng looked better. It seems that the other party has also suffered heavy losses, and they still have a chance.
They are running out of time and short on manpower. Therefore, the next time they take action is their only chance, and they must not miss it.
"Mr. Cheng, how many people do you have available?"
Chen Xue asked.
"There are still twelve guards in my house. Lu Ziming can probably spare twenty more."
Magistrate Cheng thought for a moment and said.
After hearing this answer, Chen Xue didn't seem satisfied, so she didn't say anything, but just stared closely into Magistrate Cheng's eyes.
After a long time, Magistrate Cheng felt uncomfortable, gritted his teeth and said:
"I have more than thirty servants at home, and there is an assassin in my house."
This is his last fortune. If all these people are defeated, then he will not even have a bodyguard. It was also because of this that he didn't say it out loud for the first time.
After hearing this, Chen Xue nodded:
"Mr. Cheng, is this right? Think about it, if the mission fails due to lack of manpower, it will be difficult for you to be promoted again."
After saying that, she turned to look at the black and white people:
"The Black and White Shuangsha are two elders of the Shadow Sect. Together, they can definitely hold Jian Bai back. At that time, you send everyone to Lin Xiaofan's home. They have experienced the last battle and are very likely to be prepared. Run away. So without further ado, let’s go now.”
Lin Xiaofan's power is mainly divided into the Guards and Jianbai. Her men held Jianbai back, and Magistrate Cheng's men killed the escort, and the battle was won.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Cheng showed some hesitation on his face:
"Do we have to have so many people? They only have a dozen remnants left. I can deal with thirty of them."
He felt that what Chen Xue said was too risky. If this operation failed, all his wealth would be wiped out.
Not only that, he also had to bleed a lot for the pension, otherwise it would cause public resentment, and his hat as county magistrate might be taken off by then.
Chen Xue's face turned cold after hearing this.
In her opinion, the last failure was because of Magistrate Cheng.
Although Tian Meng's strength was not as good as Jian Bai's, with one swing of that big sword, everyone had to retreat three points. If you want to delay Jian Bai for a cup of tea, you can still do it.
Therefore, the mistake was made by County Magistrate Cheng's people. His people must have been unable to defeat the escort.
"County Magistrate Cheng, if this fails, you will not only have to be a county magistrate for the rest of your life, but you will also have to face the wrath of my Chen family. You must know that our Chen family has also lost a general this time."
Magistrate Cheng's mouth twitched.
A general? Just the little lolita with the knife? If you ask him to tell you, this little brat probably can't beat him, and he's a general.
And he lost a total of fifty people, including his four most powerful Vajras.
"Magistrate Cheng, think about it. If there are too many people there, we will be overwhelmed. That way we can minimize the losses. This mission is already foolproof. Once it is completed, you will be the prefect. By then, there is still a lot to be done. Aren’t these people good enough?”
Magistrate Cheng thought for a moment and nodded.
What Chen Xue said made sense. There were only a dozen people on the other side. What did he have to be afraid of?
If more people are present, losses can be minimized.
Moreover, the Chen family has promised themselves that if they complete the task, they will be the prefect. What is this difficulty?
"Okay, then I'll listen to you!"
Magistrate Cheng bowed his hand.
"Hurry up and gather people. Without further ado, let's set off right now! There's no need to play sneak attack this time. Just rush over and don't give the other party time to react!"
……
The front yard of Lin Xiaofan's house was crowded with people.
Of the forty people in the escort team, there are a total of twenty here at this time, ten more are watching in the dark, and ten are patrolling listlessly at the entrance of the village. Of course, these are all for the county magistrate to see.
In addition, Li San also came here with many craftsmen.
The decisive battle was about to begin, and Lin Xiaofan was afraid of an accident, so he took them over.
Anyway, there are a few empty rooms in the house, so everyone can fit in.
"Brother Lin, I'm really troubling you. There is no room for error in this critical moment. People in my family have also written to me. My brother will send someone over in person the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
Jian Bai cupped his hands and said slightly apologetically.
In order to ensure that Lian Nu's matter was foolproof, he asked Lin Xiaofan to gather everyone here.
"It's okay."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and spoke. Lian Nu is a big deal, and all the effort is worth it.
"General Jianfeng is coming in person?"
After Song Shang and Tian Yu heard this, they immediately became interested and put their heads over.
General Jianfeng was a mythical existence in their eyes, and they often heard stories about him in the military camp.
If it weren't for him, the Qingzhou Army's mortality rate would have increased by several percent.
Now they are about to meet their idol.
"My brother is going back to the capital and happened to be passing by, so he came to take a look."
Jian Bai opened his mouth to explain.
General Jianfeng, as the commander-in-chief of the entire Qingzhou Army, would not usually make a special trip for such a trivial matter.
If it weren't for the fact that Daliang suffered several defeats this year and wouldn't attack in a short period of time, Jianfeng probably wouldn't have had time to return to the capital.
"Okay, when General Jianfeng comes, the Chen family in the capital will probably not even dare to show their faces."
Lin Xiaofan was overjoyed and wanted to meet this legendary figure.
"boom!"
The ajar door was suddenly pushed open, and several members of the escort ran in panting, their faces a little ugly.
"Xiao Fan, a group of people came from the west of the village, more than thirty people, each with weapons. They were moving too fast and it was too late to light a bonfire, so I came directly to report them. They might have discovered me."
They were originally watching in the dark, but when they discovered each other, they were no more than two hundred meters away.
The other party was almost trotting forward. If he ran to set up a bonfire, I'm afraid that by the time Lin Xiaofan and others saw it, the other party would have hit him at the door of his house. So he made a prompt decision and everyone ran back directly to report the news.
"Xiao Fan, more than thirty people came from the road east of the village, which is only three or four hundred meters away from here. They are running forward at a trot, and we don't have time to set up a bonfire."
More than a dozen people ran back to the yard one after another.
They were the escort team on guard duty in the east of the village, and they hurried back.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaofan sneered.
Attack from both sides? It seems that he is afraid that he will run away.
Unfortunately, they couldn't be more wrong. From the beginning, I never thought about running.
"It's okay, you did the right thing."
Lin Xiaofan nodded. In times of crisis, it is a good thing to know to come directly to communicate instead of sticking to the rules.
The opponent will attack in two minutes at most, and this time they won't be given much time to react.
Fortunately, he had already prepared and gathered all the guards in the yard.
"My fellow villagers, the enemies are attacking us. This battle will bring out our momentum and let them know that we are not easy to bully!"
Lin Xiaofan picked up the repeating crossbow next to him and spoke passionately.
