Chapter 51: Closing the Net
It was night and the village was very quiet.
Although Xanadu Village has opened up private ownership, the time is still short, and various industries have not yet emerged. At night, the villagers basically stay at home, and no one goes out.
Lu Yao stood in front of the Lord's Mansion, and a hundred archers had been gathered in front of him. Thirty of them were longbowmen. In the evening, the blank piece of paper he was holding in his hand was still in his hand. This was secretly stuffed to him by Cai Yan after returning to the lord's mansion. There is only one line of small characters on it.
"It's okay today."
Lu Yao was stuffed with a small note, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly on the spot. Cai Da Lori is really naughty. Obviously, you can tell it in person, but you have to make a mysterious appearance and stuff some small note. Could it really be that Wen Qing is really sick, and the attack will kill him? I am not afraid of delaying the emergency military situation and missing a major event.
"It's time to find a way to boost this girl's loyalty." Lu Yao thought so, raised his hand and waved down.
When a hundred archers received the order, they immediately drew their bows and arrows, and went to the dwelling in the night like a ghost. Lu Yao was trying to keep up, and he didn't want to step on the snow and run over to join in the fun. A horse-faced pestle came in front of him, nearly knocking him over.
"Don't make a fuss, I have something to do. Obediently go back to the stables, understand? Lu Yao slapped the horse's head away, trying to lay out the facts and be reasonable. This beast really can't take it. Otherwise, with a neigh, the gang of rogues who lurked into the village escaped and missed the big thing.
The snow crow blinked, snorted dissatisfiedly, and turned back to the lord's mansion with small steps. With a flick of the ponytail, he closed the gate of the lord's mansion, like a child who lost his temper and wanted to make a face for an adult.
Lu Yao was speechless, shook his head and strode to keep up with the team. According to the number of rogues observed by Cai Yan's discerning eyes, a hundred archers, including thirty second-order longbowmen, were more than enough to deal with. But he still didn't dare to let up and was determined to give it his all. He, the main general, had to wait for the opportunity to launch a formation to prevent this rogue from escaping.
The group took advantage of the night to touch the residential area. By this time, most of the villagers had already fallen asleep. Only a few houses in the newly added resettlement areas are still lit up.
Lu Yaomao walked to the front of the team and observed the movement from a distance. The identities of the rogues were all placed in this area, and it looked very scattered, but in fact, they only needed to hold two street entrances, one in front and one behind, and a hundred archers were enough to block this small area.
The right hand waved down again. The archers immediately dispersed according to the squad configuration, sealing off the vicinity tightly. Everything was in place, Lu Yao gave an order, and dozens of torches were lit on the spot. The bright light of the fire dispelled the darkness and illuminated the area.
"I am the lord of Xanadu Village. The rogues infiltrated the village with bad intentions, and special troops came to encircle and suppress them. Unrelated people are not allowed to go out, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. Lu Yao preached aloud with his hands in his hands.
Sound breaks the silence of the night. Many houses were lit up one after another, and a few villagers could be vaguely seen hiding in the windows to peek out. Everyone's face was terrified. Only a few houses that Lu Yao focused on did not move at all.
"Brother Tiger Head, there are a lot of people outside. What now? The leopard secretly opened the corner of the window and looked out, and immediately looked nervously at the tiger's head.
The tiger's face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was very unbelievable. He asked himself how well dressed up in disguise. Rogues are essentially outcasts. Throwing away weapons, ordinary people can't see the difference between a rogue and a homeless at all. But just over a day has passed, and the whereabouts of himself and others have been discovered.
"Brother Tiger Head, they surrounded our people." The leopard whispered anxiously. He could see clearly that the archers outside had surrounded the residences of themselves and others, without exception.
"Don't mess around, wait and see." The tiger's face changed, and he solemnly told the few people in the house not to mess up. Where is it still like an honest and honest rammer.
There were only less than thirty people lurking in the two times. It seemed that there were quite a few people, but in order to avoid revealing flaws, no weapons were brought into the village. At present, I only have a few hoes and kitchen knives and a few wooden poles. The other rogues were even blocked in the dwellings and could not converge. Tiger Head doesn't even have to think about it to break out at this time, and if you go out, you have to be shot and killed, and you will die as many as you want.
"Brother Tiger Head, let's fight with them." The leopard picked up his hoe with a fierce face.
Although the other people did not say anything, the expressions on their faces clearly showed the same meaning. The trapped beast is still fighting, and now if you don't take advantage of the morale to rush out and fight, when the morale declines, it will be difficult to organize everyone to work hard.
"Okay, then let's fight for this." The tiger head was in a dilemma, so he simply was ruthless, dragged a wooden pole and strode to the door, pouted and whistled, and immediately kicked the door and rushed out.
A terrible whistle sounded in the night. The other rogues hiding in the dwellings immediately found the backbone, and immediately grabbed the "weapons" in their hands and rushed out through the wooden door.
Lu Yao saw that the Liukou rushed out of the house without fear of death, and his pupils suddenly shrank. I wanted to trap this rogue and try to surrender, but I didn't expect that these rogue robbers knew the truth of trapping beasts and fighting. He immediately waved his hand.
"Shoot the arrows!"
There was a swishing sound of breaking through the air, and dozens of sharp arrows pierced the night sky, splitting their heads and covering their faces towards the group of rogues who rushed out. There was a terrible howl, and at least five or six rogues were shot by sharp arrows and fell to the ground. When the tiger head saw the great urgency, he rushed to the front with a wooden pole in hand. The wooden pole danced vigorously, blocked most of the sharp arrows with a pull, and led the crowd straight to Lu Yao.
"He's the leader of the bandits." Lu Yao saw the tiger head leading the crowd to kill him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Only the leader of the rogue has the consciousness to capture the thief and capture the king first. He didn't expect to catch a big fish this time.
"Shoot the arrows." Lu Yao shouted, and the white feather fan in his hand was raised.
In the midst of the endless sound of breaking the air, a small thunderbolt fell from the sky, crackling and falling straight down on the leader of the rogue leader, and he was immediately shocked.
Almost at the same time, two sharp arrows flew diagonally, hitting the right shoulder and left thigh of the tiger's head. The tiger head snorted, and involuntarily took two steps back, barely falling down on the wooden pole.
"Brother Tiger Head." When the leopard saw the urgency, he rushed forward and swung his hoe to shoot the sharp arrows.
Cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the tiger head, his lips turned white in pain, and he couldn't stop trembling, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Stop...... Stop it! I...... We fell. ”
"Brother Tiger Head!" The leopard is in a hurry.
"Shut up and see how many brothers are left." The tiger's face turned pale and he slapped the leopard away.
The leopard got up from the ground in embarrassment and looked back, and his face suddenly turned pale. There were nearly 30 brothers left, but now there are less than 10 left. Each of them suffered injuries of varying severity, barely huddling together to resist the rain of arrows.
Lu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the surrender of the leader of the Liukou, raised his hand and ordered to stop firing arrows. He was reluctant to let go of this rogue leader with the characteristics of ambushes.
"What kind of ability is it to deceive us and wait for a sneak attack with weapons that we don't have at hand. There is a kind of letting us go, taking the weapons we have in hand and fighting again. The leopard turned pale and cried out unwillingly.
Lu Yao's eyes lit up again. The net worked very well, and two large fish were caught. In addition to the rogue leader who surrendered, there was one more.
"Why did you come to my village? Do you want to come to me? Lu Yao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at the leopard meaningfully.
The leopard is stopped. Defect to your sister. Lao Tzu is trying to sneak up on you, okay.
Lu Yao smiled silently, just waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go over and take these surviving rogues and send them to the lord's mansion together.
