The ancestral hall is the largest building in Xujia Village, there are nearly 500 square meters, the surrounding wall is as high as two and a half meters, the foundation is laid by the whole granite, and five layers of bricks are built, and the lime is mixed with glutinous rice juice to tamp the brick joints, which is extremely solid.

At this time, the ancestral hall was crowded with villagers, women looking for husbands, children calling mothers, messing into a pot of porridge, among which Xu Youcai's mother-in-law He was calling for heaven and earth, because his man ran home to get the silver and didn't rush back, and a group of aunts and concubines were comforting beside him.

Liu Qingyuan, the magistrate of the county, had already calmed down at this time, and methodically commanded his servants to disperse around the wall to prevent thieves from coming in over the wall.

The male villagers of Xujia Village found sundries to stand up to the gate, and the thieves outside were slamming the door with wood!

Thieves kept climbing up the wall, and were stabbed down by dung forks and bamboo guns, and the screams were endless, and the wall was already stained with blood.

Xie Xiaowan was bandaging the eldest brother's injured hands, and the little slave Zhu Houxi stood aside with a pale face, with fear in his eyes. As for Xie Sangun, the little tiger didn't know where to pick up a dung fork and stared at the fence eagerly.

Patriarch Xu Deming walked back and forth with a calm face, Jin Ge'er even picked up the county test and the government test, he was going to have a grand sacrifice the next day, so that Xujia Village could be beautiful, but he didn't expect that before it was shown, a catastrophe was coming.

Xu Deming is not stupid, the bandit force that can send such a large horse team is definitely not ordinary, otherwise he would not be able to raise so many horses, and Brother Jin doesn't know which gang of thieves he has provoked.

At this moment, Xu Jin was paying attention to the battle on the wall with a solemn expression, although he guessed that the prince of Ning Wang would send someone tonight, but he didn't expect that the other party would transfer a horse team with such strong combat effectiveness, if there was no solid wall barrier, Liu Qingyuan would not be enough to bring this group of servants!

Outside the ancestral hall, Li Zhenzheng scolded and instructed his bandits to slam the door and climb the wall.

"It's all for Lao Tzu, whoever rushes in first and opens the door can pick the most iconic girl first, and take 20% of the silver."

The thieves immediately climbed to the wall as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and launched a wave of fierce attacks, and a few bandits really seized the opportunity to jump in, but they were soon killed by the joint efforts of the officials and the villagers, and their heads were cut off and thrown out.

Looking at the few bloody human heads rolling to his feet, Li Zhen was so angry that he thundered, and scolded fiercely: "Listen to Lao Tzu inside, and when I break the door, Lao Tzu will kill and chop all of you, cook and eat them." ”

The villagers and officials in the ancestral hall were frightened.

Xu Jin took the opportunity to say loudly: "Everyone has heard it, these thieves are extremely cruel, they are beasts that exterminate human nature, they must not be allowed to break in, otherwise everyone will die, and your wives and daughters will be humiliated by thieves, do you mean to see your wives and daughters being abused by thieves?" ”

"I don't want to!" The villagers roared in unison, struggling to knock down the thieves who were about to climb the wall.

As the so-called rabbit bites when it is anxious, let alone a person, even the most cowardly person will explode under the threat of death, not to mention the wife and children at home.

Therefore, Li Zhen's intimidating words instead shot himself in the foot, and the threat of death only made the officials and villagers resist more desperately.

Liu Qingyuan nodded approvingly at Xu Jin, it was rare that Xu Jin still kept a clear head at this critical moment, and seized the opportunity to boost morale in time.

Bang bang bang......

Seven or eight sturdy thieves slammed the door with a log of wood, but although the gate of the ancestral hall was smashed into potholes, it stood still.

Li Zhen saw that after nearly half an hour of strong attack, his brothers were killed and wounded more than a dozen people, and there was still no way to attack it, so he couldn't help but be so anxious that he jumped like thunder, and even turned over his horse, stepped on the back of the horse and jumped on the wall, and swept away the cooked copper stick in his hand.

When the thieves saw the bravery of the second master, they applauded, and more thieves followed suit.

Li Zhen roared, jumped into the courtyard of the ancestral hall with a cooked copper stick, smashed a catcher with a knife to the ground, and then made up another stick on the head, the head of the catcher was like a watermelon that was smashed open, red and white splashed away, the scene was tragic and terrifying.

A group of villagers and officials were frightened by Li Zhen's ferocity, and fled with a bang, this time it was bad, and other thieves who climbed the wall took the opportunity to jump in, and five or six broke in at once, and instantly like wolves entered the flock, and several villagers were cut down in the blink of an eye.

"Haha, dog officer, take your life!" Li Zhen carried a cooked copper stick full of blood and brains and laughed wildly, and pounced on Liu Qingyuan, who was wearing an official uniform.

Liu Qingyuan was so shocked that he retreated again and again, tripped on his foot and fell on his back, Xie Yidao hurriedly grabbed the waist knife of the official next to him and rushed forward to rescue, brushing a few knives to defeat the brave Li Zhen.

"Xianggong, you guys quickly hide in the house!" Xie Xiaowan snatched the dung fork in the hands of her younger brother Xie Sangun, and stepped forward to help.

Xu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Qingyuan retreat into the main hall of the ancestral hall, and asked with concern: "Lord Liu, are you okay?" ”

Liu Qingyuan was shocked for a moment, and said gratefully: "The official is fine, Xu Jin, it's dangerous outside, let your wife and brother come in!" ”

Only then did Xu Jin find out that Xie Sangun's kid not only didn't follow up, but was still picking up stones and throwing them at the thieves who climbed the wall.

Anyway, this kid threw it really accurately, and as soon as a thief climbed the wall, a stone fell on the bridge of his nose, and the thing fell down with a scream, and it is estimated that the bridge of his nose was broken.

When the other villagers saw that the ten-year-old boy was so brave, they were ashamed and picked up stones to follow suit. It happened that the courtyard of the ancestral hall was covered with pebbles, and it was easy to pick them up, and in an instant the stones flew out like raindrops, and the five or six thieves who broke in were smashed to the point of bleeding, and were unlucky to be hit by the vital point, and fell to the ground on the spot, and the remaining few hurriedly escaped over the wall.

Li Zhen was shocked and angry, and the cooked copper stick swept a few times, forcing Xie Xiaowan and Xie Yidao away, turning around and fleeing back to the wall and climbing up the wall.

Xie Xiaowan screamed, and the dung fork in her hand was thrown out, hitting Li Zhen's buttocks, the latter screamed miserably, and fell outside with the dung fork, only to hear a heavy object falling to the ground, which was estimated to be a miserable fall.

The officials and villagers cheered, their morale was greatly boosted, and the little slave also shook his fist excitedly, and this kid also threw a few stones just now.

Outside the wall, Li Zhen was lying on the ground with blood on his buttocks, and the bloody dung fork fell aside, which really responded to the sentence: The chrysanthemum is full of wounds!

"It's painful for Lao Tzu to die, stinky girl, Lao Tzu can't spare you!" Li Zhen screamed angrily as he struggled to stand up with his stick.

One of the thieves exclaimed, "No, second master, your ass is bleeding." ”

"The ghost calls your mother, and he doesn't help Lao Tzu, and he grasses your uncle. Ouch! Li Zhen scolded.

The thief hurriedly stepped forward to help, accompanied him and said carefully: "Second master, it's not a way to attack like this, or let's set fire to it and burn his mother." ”

Li Zhenyang slapped his hand with a big-eared scraper, and the thief was suddenly stunned, and said curtly: "Second master, I said nonsense, nonsense!" ”

Li Zhen slapped his backhand again and scolded: "Nonsense, your mother, why didn't you say it earlier if you have such a good idea?" Quick, go and bring all the firewood and grass from every house, and burn his mother's. ”

The thief suddenly smiled, straightened his chest and shouted: "I heard it, the second master is going to burn his mother, hurry up and move firewood and grass!" ”

A group of thieves immediately ran to a nearby house to carry firewood and grass, and soon the gate of the ancestral hall was full of firewood and grass.

Li Zhen limped to the pile of firewood and grass with a torch, and set the firewood and grass on fire with a cruel smile, and a raging fire ignited in an instant, and soon the gate of the ancestral hall was ignited.

"Oh no, the thieves set fire to the gate!" The villagers and officials in the ancestral hall instantly fell into a panic.

Xu Jin's face also changed, the most worrying situation still happened, there was no water in the ancestral hall, and there was no solution to the fire attack!

The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the fire even rushed through the gatehouse of the ancestral hall, and the thick wooden door made a crackling sound under the burning of the fire.

There was a deathly silence in the ancestral hall, and everyone looked at the burning gate helplessly.

Xu Jin showed a bitter smile on his face, and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Wan's soft twing, who turned his head to look at it, his eyes full of affection.

Xie Yidao quietly leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, when the door is broken and the thieves rush in, you and Xiaowan and the three guns will escape over the wall first, and I will cover behind the palace." ”

The face of the little slave next to him changed, and he lowered his head gloomily, his body trembled involuntarily, this emperor who would be the emperor for more than forty years, was just a ten-year-old boy at the moment, and his young heart was being eaten away by the gradually amplified fear, but at this moment, a hand was stretched out next to him to hold his little hand.

The little slave was stunned for a moment, raised her head to meet Sister Xiaowan's concerned gaze, and instantly a warm current flowed through her body.

Boom......

There was a slam in the burning gate, and it was estimated that the thieves outside couldn't wait to bang on the door.

Boom...... Click!

The wooden door, which had already been burned to the ground, was able to withstand the violent impact, and immediately tore out a large crack, through which the bandits could be seen carrying a large log and shouting and rushing over.

Boom!

The shattered gate fell, and the thieves shouted and cheered, smiling at the people in the ancestral hall as if they were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Get ready to kill and binge!

Li Zhenyi licked his lips cruelly, slammed the cooked copper stick to the ground, and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, ......"

"Kill!"

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, who was fucking blind, and actually grabbed Lao Tzu's lines!

"Kill!" The shouting of killing sounded from behind him like a wave, and Li Zhen looked back sharply, and instantly gasped.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and I saw a group of men and horses rushing towards this side like a tide, all dressed as officers and soldiers, and the roaring hooves of horses shattered the darkness before dawn.

Li Zhen's head was blank, and the smiles on the faces of the thieves instantly froze, gradually replaced by fear.
