Lin Jian and Zhou Pu sat on the oarboat, put their knives in front of their knees, and listened to the movement on the dark river, two guards guarded their sides, and the other three guards helped the boatmen paddle and sail to the south bank. The river was pitch black, and I couldn't see the situation on the south bank clearly, so I just followed the sound.

The chaotic contagion in the dark night is quite terrifying, not to mention that the hundreds of people stationed at the mouth of the river are all untrained homeless, dragging their families with their mouths, the elderly, the weak, women and children, Lin Tie They have not encountered any damage on the river, the boat is close to the south bank, and the shore is already in chaos. The frightened homeless fled in all directions, and the fields were one foot deep and one foot shallow, falling at every turn, crashing into one place, screaming again, fighting and killing each other in order to protect themselves and not even being able to distinguish whether the other party was friend or foe, and the sound of shacks and shelves collapsing, and bowls and pots falling and smashing. Occasionally, when someone remembered to light the fire, they became the target of the attackers, and they saw the shadow of swords and swords in the faint light of the fire, and the camp was suddenly plunged into frightening darkness. The campers were trying to create chaos, smashing and killing people in the dark night, with howls, weepings, and even baby cries mixed together, making it difficult to tell the difference between reality and fiction on the shore.

Lin Lian squatted on the bow of the boat, and could only barely distinguish the shadow of Jiang Ya, his teeth biting into the flesh, but he knew in his heart that going ashore would not help.

"There is grass on the beach to the west...... Zhou Pu said.

"Go west......" Lin Jian ordered.

The most important thing at this time is to be bright, as long as the fire illuminates the distance, they can calm the panic and organize a counterattack. It can be confirmed that the number of raiders in the camp is not too much, mainly because the panic caused by the raiders is contagious like a plague in the dark night, these displaced people have traveled thousands of miles to Jiangning, and their mental condition is already tense and tired to the extreme, and they can relax a little tonight, but they are suddenly attacked by the camp.

Lin Tie They could only barely see the shadow of the craggy rocks on the river beach, the bottom of the boat brushed over the beach stones on the river bottom from time to time, and found the dull sound of friction, the hull of the boat slammed into a sharp rock, listening to the sound of wood breaking, the bow of the ship had been broken by the rock.

Seeing the fluffy black shadow in front of them, Lin Jian and Zhou Pu smashed the clay pot with lamp oil over. The bow of the boat began to enter the water, Lin Tie went down to the water, stepped on the rocky beach at the bottom of the river, regardless of the stinging cold river water soaked to his waist, and climbed to the beach with Zhou Pushen one foot at a shallow foot, and touched the fire sickle to ignite the oil-soaked beach grass.

The grass on this side was all dry grass in winter, and the weather was dry these days, and the lamp oil was poured on it, and it burned at one point, and the guards and boatmen had pine resin in their hands, and they set fire to the grass on the beach while retreating to the east. In a matter of moments, the beach under the river was burned to the ground, and the fire quickly burned the shrubs on the cliff wall, and when they withdrew to the estuary, the estuary and the beach were as bright as day, and the night sky was burning red.

When a fire broke out on the river beach, the campers on the shore set fire to the shacks and stacks of supplies and began to retreat, and when they climbed the embankment, the chaotic camp was full of panicked or scattered wanderers running in all directions or kneeling helplessly, and there was no trace of half of the campers.

"thief!" Lin Jian took out a knife and ruthlessly cut off a crooked-necked poplar tree on the river embankment to vent his resentment.

When the fire burned, there was a bright light, and the attackers all withdrew, and some people began to spontaneously stand up to stop the chaos and organize people to put out the fire and save people. Lin Jian and Zhou Pu guarded the riverbank and did not dare to act easily, they were worried that there were still campers hiding among the displaced people, so they guarded the riverbank with weapons and vigilance, at least to deter the campers from not daring to act easily. Besides, they couldn't verify everyone's identities at this time, and it had only been five or six days since the displaced people had gathered together, and in the past few days, they had traveled from Jiangbei to Moling County, and from Moling County to the mouth of the Jinchuan River, and they didn't have time to get completely familiar with each other.

Lacquered cloth was used to temporarily cover the rainproof granaries, straw felt piles, purlin piles, and other materials piled up in the camp for the raiders to light before retreating. Human life was low, and the displaced people did not go to rescue the wounded first, but to extinguish the fire in the granary. Looking at the fire, most of the materials prepared in the past few days will be lost, Lin Jian doesn't feel sorry for this, the wounded people all over the ground shocked him, and many people lay motionless on the ground, looking like they had swallowed their breath.

"You guys go to the island and pick up the medical officer, and bring all the wound medicine......" Lin Jian ordered the guards to return to the island to pick up the prison doctor, he didn't see Lin Jingzhong, Qian Xiaowu, Cao Ziang and others, maybe they withdrew in time after the chaos. Lin Lian couldn't wait for Lin Jingzhong and them to turn back, watching someone organize a fire extinguishing over there, seeing that the person's face seemed to have seen him before nightfall, he called him over and said: "The grain is burned, people's lives are at stake, first organize the rescue of people, boil hot water, prepare a clean cloth, the injured are not busy lifting, face the big wound as much as possible, and cover the wound with a clean cloth...... Except for the people who gathered by roll call, everyone else sat still and did not move around. ”

Lin Tie didn't care about changing out of his wet clothes, and handed over the waist knife to the guard Chen Huamian to hold, he squatted down to inspect the injuries of the attacked homeless, almost all of them were stabbed or stabbed with sharp weapons, the wounds were small and deep, the first to stab the homeless people were almost dead, and those wounds who were still bleeding a lot were difficult to save their lives in this condition, and Lin Tie could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven and bandage the wounds of these wounded people as quickly as possible to stop the bleeding.

"I'm sorry for you, I'm really useless, I panicked at the time, I don't know what to do, Cao Ye shouldn't save me, let me die here and feel more comfortable......" Lin Jingzhong walked over with a shallow foot, his face and body were full of bruises, and the wolf and sad heart of the camp made him depressed and desperate, and he stumbled over, only feeling that he couldn't bear Lin Lian's trust in him.

Seeing that Lin Jingzhong, Qian Xiaowu, and Cao Ziang came back safe and sound, Lin Jian put his heart at ease, pressed his hand on Lin Jingzhong's shoulder, comforted him and said: "It's none of your business, I didn't expect anyone to be so ruthless, if you want to say negligence, I also have negligence." Who owes us this debt, I will find out, and I will collect it. Lin Jingzhong has no experience in dealing with this situation, so how can he blame him?

Lin Jian asked Qian Xiaowu to organize manpower to cooperate with the prison doctor to continue to rescue the injured, and asked Cao Ziang: "Did you find any clues?" ”

"The camp was suddenly attacked, and it immediately fell into chaos, and we couldn't distinguish between the enemy and me for a while, so we could only withdraw from the camp first to avoid chaos, the situation was critical, and we only had time to take Lin Steward and Qian Xiaowu out," Cao Ziang told Lin Lian in detail about the situation that was attacked just now, "The crow judged that someone must be hiding in the dark to command, we scattered and touched three people outside the poplar forest in the southwest corner, and they were all tied up, for fear that there were still people watching in secret, so they hid people in the ditch in the southeast corner of the front, The big loach and the little loach also hid in that ditch with their brothers. When the raiders retreated to the poplar forest, there were about forty people, and the crows brought a brother to the shadows, and they did not dare to force them to stay...... failed to stop the spread of chaos, sorry Lin Ye. ”

Lin Jian shook his head slightly, Cao Ziang and the others showed their traces in order to avoid carrying weapons, and there were more than 30 people with the Ge brothers, and they hid a few daggers by their side, how to stop the camp attackers from creating chaos? These campers are quite experienced and well-founded, and Cao Ziang should make the choice to lead people to withdraw Lin Jingzhong, Qian Xiaowu and others from the camp in time to avoid being impacted.

If there is anything wrong with Cao Ziang, that is, when they withdraw, they should first set fire to the shacks and granaries, etc., which can effectively stop the campers from causing greater chaos and panic, but Cao Ziang can't be blamed, who is willing to burn thousands of catties of food and the shelter that they have worked so hard to build for a night? Perhaps Cao Ziang and the others didn't expect the campers to be so sophisticated and cooperative before they withdrew.

"Dad, Dad, mother, she's dying......" A young man with half of his body stained with blood stumbled over and cried at Cao Ziang in panic.

Cao Ziang's face was so bad when he heard this, he didn't have time to blame himself, and pulled the young man to run west.

Only then did Lin Jian know that when Cao Ziang and the others withdrew, they only took Lin Jingzhong, Qian Xiaowu and others away, and they didn't take care of their wives and children, and scolded in their mouths: "This bastard! He and Zhou Pusa ran behind Cao Ziang's father and son, and in front of a shack that had been burned to ashes and only the remnants of the fire remained, they saw Cao Ziang's wife lying on the ground weakly in burlap clothes, and a large pool of blood flowed on the ground.

When Lin Jian saw the fire, Cao's wife's eyes were still barely struggling, and there was no hemorrhagic shock, so he hurriedly pulled the two women next to him away, and said to Zhou Pu: "Call the prison medical officer, people can still be saved!" ”

Driving the miscellaneous people away, Cao Ziang squatted down to treat his wife's wounds personally.

Cao Wenlong, the son of Cao Ziang, dragged and cried beside him to tell that he and his mother hid in the field and did not move when the camp raiders withdrew, but when the camp raiders withdrew, he was young and vigorous after all, and he wanted to sneak attack the camp raiders who were left behind.

The life of the homeless is cheap, the injured are men and women, I don't know the identity of Cao's wife, the prison medical officer naturally treats the male injured first, Lin Jian called him, he naturally used the best wound medicine to treat Cao's wife's wounds, and also cut two pieces of old ginseng and stuffed Cao's wife's mouth to hang herself.

Lin Jian knew that it was nonsense for the old ginseng to hang his life, but he was born in nothing, and observed Cao's wife for a while, and saw that Cao's wife's injury had stabilized, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good that there was no hemorrhagic shock, otherwise under the current sanitary conditions, it would be extremely dangerous to transfuse honey and salt water, and it would be a gamble to use gravity to transfuse blood with a goose feather tube.

It was only when the earth was covered with the morning light that the camp was restored to some order, with more than 100 wounded, and as many as 36 displaced people who were stabbed to death on the spot and who could not be rescued from blood loss. Three of the campers robbed Cao Ziang, and Lin Jian couldn't care about it for a while, so he asked the Ge brothers to lead their men to hide the people on the boat, and let them be careful not to alarm anyone. The late-night fire here is bound to alarm Moling County and Jiangning City, as soon as the morning dawns, the city gate is opened, and the Jiangning Mansion Soldiers and Horses Division and Moling County will inevitably send people to check, and Lin Jian will not hand over the enemy to Jiangning Mansion or Moling County to deal with.
