Chapter 51: The Wind of a General

the back mountain."Women and children stayed at the tofu workshop to learn how to make tofu, while the rest followed Uncle Zhao to dig the foundation."After making arrangements for those people, Yang...After arranging Little Seven, Little Eight, and Little Nine properly, Yang Lin led the women to hide in various places within the courtyard.

At this time, Zhong Tao arrived with his bodyguard.

Seeing Yang Lin and the other women were still in the courtyard, Zhong Tao hurriedly said, "Why haven't you run yet"

Yang Lin shook his head. "We're not running away."

"What"

Zhong Tao seemed not to have heard.

The guards behind him also stared blankly at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin smiled and didn't explain. He just said, "Don't worry, we're fine, you guys should go."

"No, we have to go together!"

Zhong Tao suddenly realized something: “You wouldn’t be thinking of staying behind to fight bandits, would you”

He stared at Yang Lin in disbelief.

Yang Lin asked back, "What's the matter Is there a problem"

"This... this is too dangerous! Bandits are ruthless killers, staying here means walking straight into death!" Zhong Tao worried.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, you don't need to persuade me anymore. You know that once I make a decision, I won't change it."

"You all leave quickly, as for here, I'll stay with the ladies!"

I wonder if those bandits are three-headed and six-armed, or if they're immortal.

At this moment, Zhong Tao was shocked by Yang Lin's calm tone.

He looked at the frail Yang Lin, then at the manure fork he was carrying, Zhong Tao's breathing became rapid.

"Yang Lin, are you really going to fight the bandits"

Zhong Tao stared straight at Yang Lin.

Of course.

“Okay, I’ll stay with you!” Zhong Tao tightened his grip on the pitchfork in his hand.

A flame ignited in his heart.

In the past, when bandits came, they could only flee. They could only helplessly watch as bandits robbed their hard-earned belongings. It was truly humiliating!

But even if it's frustrating, there's nothing we can do because no one has ever thought about resisting.

Even many people, have never seen a bandit's face. Every time they hear that bandits are coming, they quickly run away.

And this time, the frail Yang Lin stood up. He was going to stay and fight the bandits with his women!

This made the tall and imposing Zhong Tao's face flush with heat.

Zhong Tao turned around and said to the few guards behind him, "Brothers, you go! I've decided to stay and fight the bandits with Yang Lin!"

Everyone was shocked.

At this time, someone stood up.

Let me tell you, none of us should leave. We all stay and fight these bandits!

"That's right, we're still the guard force. If bandits come, we run with them too. Then what are we guarding"

"That's right, if Yang Lin can stay, we can stay too!"

Our wages are all paid by Yang Lin. If Yang Lin is gone, our security team will be gone too.

"Yeah, bandits aren't much different from us in terms of limbs. We have so many people, what's there to be afraid of Let's just take them down!"

The guard team consisted of ten young and strong men selected from hundreds of villagers. They were naturally energetic and passionate, and as more and more people stepped forward, their words fueled a fire in their hearts, igniting their fighting spirit.

When Yang Lin saw this, he was greatly pleased.

They had the courage to stay, which is a good thing, and he would naturally not refuse.

Originally, with the women all equipped as archers, their firepower was sufficient. However, if bandits charged up close, the consequences would be unimaginable!

And now, the guard unit is willing to stay. We have both ranged and melee fighters, the team composition is reasonable, and the danger factor will be greatly reduced. "Good, since everyone is willing to stay, you'll all listen to my command!"

"Brother Zhong, get your men to gather some pot lids as shields. The rest of you throw away the wooden sticks and use pitchforks and axes instead. All go hide behind my house."

When the bandits arrive, don't rush out. Listen to my orders. Only when you hear 'Quickly, quickly, quickly' can you come out! No matter what else you hear, stay put and don't move. Understand

The guards nodded dumbly.

Yang Lin explained it very clearly, and they all understood.

But...

Zhong Tao questioned in bewilderment: "Ambush first, then charge out What use is that In my opinion, it's better to just wait here. When the bandits arrive, we'll fight them head-on!"

The rest also nodded.

They didn't know that Yang Lin had crossbows on this side, so they didn't understand at all why Yang Lin set up this ambush.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Big Brother Zhong, just believe me!"

"Well, that..."

Zhong Tao nodded. "You must shout!"

"Don't worry, if we can't solve it, we'll definitely call for help."

Zhong Tao immediately led people to find several pot lids and replaced the original wooden stick with a more lethal dung fork and chopper. Then, he took his men and hid behind Yang Lin's house.

Having arranged the guards, more than an hour had passed since Zhao Fugui sent his message. The bandits could arrive at any time.

Yang Lin also quickly arranged the women to their respective positions.

Each person has a crossbow and is equipped with twelve crossbow bolts.

Elder sister and second sister hid behind the stacks of firewood on both sides of the courtyard, while younger sisters four, five, and six hid behind a temporary shelter built inside the courtyard.

Liao Hongying scaled the wall and arrived at Lin's house. Without a ladder, she moved as light as a swallow, leaping onto the roof and hiding behind the ridge. Her crossbow was loaded and ready.

Yang Lin and Li Yuy Yao also went onto their own rooftop.

It was only then that the guards realized with surprise that Yang Lin and his women were each holding something strange in their hands.

But they still couldn't understand, hiding on the roof, how could they fight bandits

Koushan Village is flat, and at this moment, lying on the roof, the entire village is within view.

Li Yuy Yao leaned against Yang Lin, curiously gazing down at the village from this angle, her mind racing.

She wasn't nervous, it was just a few bandits.

Moreover, the power of the crossbow has already been proven.

Back then, with their three crossbows, they could easily take down all the men Liu Youcai sent.

Now with eight crossbows, plenty of arrows, and having prepared in advance, dealing with seven or eight bandits shouldn't be a problem.

To Li Y Yao's surprise, Yang Lin had made such an arrangement.

Yang Lin was just a scholar from the village, he had never been to the battlefield, let alone led troops. But at this moment, his arrangement was clear and orderly, with a distinct hierarchical structure, quite like that of a general!

He really couldn't figure it out, could this ability be innate

How could she know, Yang Lin had lived in a time of information explosion in his previous life, who hadn't seen a few about

War films and TV shows.

Have you never been in the army or watched TV

What are interspersed, ambushes, detours, and encirclements.

What lures the enemy into a deep trap, attacking them when they are unprepared.

Not to mention famous sayings from classics like "Thirty-Six Stratagems" and "The Art of War," even elementary school children can recite a couple.

In the information age, all sorts of useful and useless knowledge are passively received every day.

And this, is something that simply cannot be compared to anything in today's world.

Just as Li Yiyue was lost in her fantasies, Yang Lin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Here they come!" Lin's breath!"“Your father is good at judging people. He once said that Yang Lin is capable and resourceful, but he lacks ruthlessness.”He promised your father, and he'll definitely keep his word. So...
