Chapter 297: Reinforcements

Su Qing's heart kept sinking. Read М

Zhongzhaizhu and others also looked ashen. Could it be that what happened last summer would happen again?

"Don't stop, archers! Shoot!"

Ma Xin was still giving orders on the gate tower.

Su Qing's heart was thinking whether to dispatch a team of people to climb out of the mountain and kill them from behind!

Just thinking about this, he heard the screams of the mountain bandits.

He quickly came to his senses.

"It's our reinforcements, it's our reinforcements!"

"It's Siyuan and Siyuan who are back with reinforcements!" There was a cheer on the gate tower.

Is it Siyuan and Siyuan?

Su Qing's eyes were fixed, and it was indeed the two of them. The team with full military uniforms was fighting with the mountain bandits.

It was the soldiers of the governor's mansion!

They are saved!

"I'll take people down to help them!" Ma Xin said and took his people down.

When the people on the gate tower saw that it was their reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted!

Bandits, you are dead this time!

The leader of Zhong Village was almost in tears: "Smash them, smash them to death, shoot! Keep it up! Watch out, don't hurt our people by mistake."

"Yes."

Siyuan Siyuan led more than 100 soldiers from the governor's mansion to fight fiercely with the bandits.

Each of them was a good fighter who could fight ten with one. The bandits thought they were their own people, but they didn't expect them to be a team with better equipment. The gap was a bit big.

Once they got started, they didn't even have 50% of their strength.

They quickly fell behind.

In addition, Ma Xin led his men to attack from behind, and they were immediately surrounded by dumplings, screaming.

Some bandits had already thrown down their weapons and climbed up the mountain like headless flies. It was important to escape.

"Shoot!" Su Qingmei gave the order.

Come as you like, leave as you like, how can there be such a good thing.

The bandits were shot and rolled down the mountain before they climbed a few steps.

Another half hour passed, and the war was over soon.

Except for those who surrendered, all were killed!

"Oh, victory, victory! We won, we won!"

The mountain people cheered like a mountain, and the shouts shook the sky.

"Qing'an, we won, didn't we? We won, didn't we?" Zhongzhaizhu held Su Qing'an's hand and said with sobs.

"Yes, Uncle Zhong, we won."

"We won, we won! Good, good!"

Su Qing'an saw that Zhongzhaizhu was excited, and he must have remembered the tragedy last summer. He didn't bother him, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield. And put the surrendered bandits in custody.

He went down to meet the soldiers sent by the governor's mansion.

"Madam Su! I am Pei Cheng, and Lord Pei ordered us to come to support." The general-like man who led the group clasped his fists to Su Qing'an.

"Your surname is Pei? Are you Lord Pei's family general?"

"You are a family general and a general of the palace."

Su Qing'an nodded: "Thank you General Pei for leading people to rescue my mountain stronghold. On behalf of all the mountain people in the 29th stronghold, I thank all the soldiers for helping me. Thank you!"

Su Qing'an clasped her fists to the more than 100 palace soldiers and thanked them.

"Madam Su, you are too polite. It is our duty to keep Renzhou safe."

"Thank you for coming all the way to the mountains. Everyone, please follow me into the village to rest."

"Okay, listen to Madam Su's arrangements."

Su Qing'an turned around and told Wei Fuchang to ask him to send people to Xingeng Village to bring food.

"No, no, we have plenty of food and meat in Baijia Village!" Zhongzhaizhu stopped Wei Fuchang.

"Okay."

Then he led the people to the yard where she lived in Baijia Village before.

He also asked Xiang Shang and Wei Fuchang to help Ma Xin clean up the battlefield and collect weapons.

"You guys came pretty fast." Su Qing'an asked Pei Cheng as she walked.

"We met Brother Siyuan who came to ask for help halfway. Lord Pei had received news that several bandits were going to enter the mountains to rob, so he sent us out to take precautions. We didn't expect the bandits to really enter the mountains."

"If we had known there were so many of them, we should have brought more people. But we didn't expect you to be able to handle it without us."

Pei Cheng saw Siyuan and Siyuan jumping in a hurry, and thought he would see the bandits breaking into the village and the blood flowing in the village.

Unexpectedly, what he saw was the bandits being blocked outside the trench by a group of mountain people, and they couldn't even break into the village gate.

The mountain people actually built various defensive fortifications and trench suspension bridges like the army, which was very good.

Su Qing'an said, "It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, we would have suffered casualties. The mountain people have not been trained and their fighting power is limited. They can resist for a while, but I'm afraid they can't resist for a long time."

"Very good. When we came, you had killed most of them. If all the villages were like you, the adults would be relieved."

"We also hope to have some defensive capabilities, otherwise we have to wait for reinforcements to come to rescue us, and I'm afraid that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

As the two talked, they arrived at the courtyard. Su Qing'an and the head of the Zhong Village ordered the women in the village to quickly set up the pot to cook for the soldiers.

Serve hot tea.

It's so cold, and they rushed all the way to help, so we can't neglect them.

"This tea is fragrant. I don't know where Lord Pei learned this kind of tea, and he made us drink this kind of tea. This kind of tea is still delicious. It's refreshing."

"That kind of tea is not troublesome enough to add various ingredients and fry and roast. We are all a group of rough men, and we really don't have the leisure to drink that kind of tea. I didn't expect that this kind of tea would spread in the mountains."

Su Qing'an touched her nose and smiled, not going to explain. Low-key.

"We also picked some tea leaves in the mountains. If you don't mind, I'll have someone bring some to you when you leave."

"No, no. This tea is refreshing. It smells good."

Su Qing'an asked someone to prepare it.

"What did Lord Pei tell you?"

"Lord Pei got some news. He said that several groups of people were coming to Renzhou. They all heard that there was food in Renzhou. He also heard that bandits were going to enter the mountains, so he ordered us to come to help. Renzhou City is now on high alert."

This was actually attracted by food?

It's not easy for everyone to have enough food. Others are jealous and want to rob?

I wonder if there are any more people and horses behind? There are still a few more waves.

Su Qing'an was very anxious.

After more than a hundred people had eaten and drunk well. Su Qing'an ordered them to rest in the house. She also ordered people to light braziers in various places in the house.

She left the village chief Zhong to entertain her, and she went to the village gate to tell Ma Xin the news.

"I'm afraid there will be more bandits later." Ma Xin frowned.

"I think so too. We can't relax our vigilance."

"Don't worry. I'll watch it."

Ma Xin's men are almost all in Baijiazhai, and he's afraid that the market town can't maintain it.

Su Qingmei called Wei Fuchang: "Take some people from our Xingengzhai to the market town to help maintain it, so that everyone doesn't worry and don't make trouble."

"Yes."

After Wei Fuchang left, Xiang Shang came to report to her about the situation of cleaning up the battlefield.

"The people are buried. Two hundred and fifty-six weapons were collected. Most of them are broadswords and long spears, and some weapons are excellent."

"Okay. Put them in the gatehouse first."

"Yes."
