Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 132: Provide Support
Shen Qing returned to the resting place with a heavy heart.
Huo Bing and Jiang Shui were both coaxing the child. Seeing Shen Qing's expression was not right, they felt a pang in their hearts and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Shen Qing looked at the white, tender and soft babies in their arms, thought of the tragic scene in the dream, and whispered: "Wait until the children fall asleep, let's have a meeting at home."
No matter how kind you have been in the past, you cannot be complacent or soft-hearted when you encounter evil people!
This was the consensus reached just now by the group of Jiang Erye.
Either the enemy dies or they die. If they die, it's fine, but their wives and children will suffer a fate worse than death...
There were gasps and angry sounds coming from all around, and one could even hear Feng Meng's roar, shouting that anyone who dared to come would be killed!
It was quickly suppressed by the elders of the Feng family, but when these words fell into the ears of every household, they felt extremely relieved and recognized.
Yes, they don’t steal or rob, and they don’t cause trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble either.
Anyone who sets his sights on them, anyone who steals their property, or anyone who insults their wives, children, and elders, they will kill!
Jiang Xiangbei retracted his gaze and asked worriedly, "Mom, what should we do?"
"What are you afraid of? We will kill whoever comes." Jiang Xiangxi, who usually speaks little, spoke first.
Jiang Xiangdong looked at the tender little girl sleeping in Huo Bing's arms, and clenched his hands at his sides into fists.
Huo Bing looked at Shen Qing and suggested softly: "Mom, Second Uncle said that the vehicles should be placed in the gap in front. I think there is enough space behind each vehicle for a person holding a crossbow;
When they rushed over, the vehicles blocked the way, buying time for the crossbows to fire. In addition, we could also arrange a line of crossbows behind the men in front. When the enemy came over, our men did not rush forward, but only guarded against them, while the crossbowmen behind us took the opportunity to shoot arrows.
Even if we can't completely wipe out the enemy, we can kill or injure a wave of them first to dampen their morale, which can also help us gain an advantage and reduce casualties."
The Jiang family members stood there in a daze after hearing this.
Admiration and pride flashed in Shen Qing's eyes. His daughter-in-law was indeed talented in this area.
Jiang Xiangdong asked the thoughts of all his family members: "A Bing, how did you come up with this arrangement?"
Huo Bing looked at his shocked family and replied naively, "It just came to me naturally. Was it that difficult?"
Not at all, I know how to do it just like eating and drinking water.
Jiang Yu, Jiang Shui, Jiang Xiangnan and others all nodded in affirmation.
Shen Qing ignored her silly sons and smiled encouragingly at Huo Bing, "A Bing, if we're being targeted, when do you think the bad guys will make their move? Tonight?"
Although she couldn't guess difficult answers, she still had some common sense. She knew that the enemy would definitely not come during the day, so she could take the initiative by launching a preemptive sneak attack at night. Her chances of winning were obviously much greater!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Huo Bing, waiting carefully for her answer.
Huo Bing shook his head and said seriously, "I don't think so. We set out from Qinghe City this morning, and only half a day has passed. It will take another four or five days to reach the next city.
We're too close to Qinghe City, and there's a high chance someone will report us to the authorities or we'll be run into by soldiers. We've chosen a location between the two cities. Even if we're discovered by someone or soldiers, as long as we're outnumbered and can't summon reinforcements, we could be killed."
The Jiang family gasped when they heard this.
But think about it, their team now has about 150 to 160 men, women, young and old. If you dare to attack them, you must have killed many people, and if you are caught, you will be beheaded!
We are all going to die, so why not kill a few more people, even killing soldiers?
"The cities are all built on flat and good terrain. We walked all the way this morning and the road was flat and the view was wide. Those who do evil things will definitely not want to let anyone go alive to avoid being reported to the authorities and hunted down. So they will choose a place along the way that is easy to encircle and catch them all in one fell swoop." Huo Bing said again.
The admiration in Shen Qing's eyes was about to overflow!
Jiang Xiangnan almost jumped up and said to Shen Qing, "Mom, we have to tell Second Grandpa that we can't choose a place with support or water as a resting place!"
During these days, I always try to choose a place near the water. The further north I go, the more the terrain is no longer as flat as the endless Xingcheng and Yangcheng. Gradually, I can see the undulating mountains and rivers. Therefore, if there is no water in the back, I will lean against the hills as my place to stay.
After entering Qinghe City, you can see towering mountains in the distance.
Shen Qing stopped him without thinking: "Wait, listen to what your sister-in-law says!"
Jiang Xiangnan's excited heart immediately calmed down, and he turned to look at Huo Bing and waited for her answer.
Huo Bing looked around, wondering if his thinking was right.
After all, it's too risky!
Shen Qing encouraged: "You said it, it's okay, whether you are willing to adopt it or not will be decided by everyone in the village later."
Huo Bing gained confidence, pursed his lips, and when he looked up, his eyes were cold: "I think we should not only find a place, but also find a place surrounded by two or three sides, so that they can easily outflank us!"
Then he quickly explained: "For them, it's an encirclement, but for us, it's a defense. We are different from them. They gather together as a motley crowd. If they are defeated or see the momentum is not right, they will inevitably flee everywhere, regardless of the lives of others.
But we men are charging forward to fight the enemy, while the old, weak, sick, and young hide in the back. Even if we can escape, where can these people go? We'll kill all the men, steal the donkeys, carts, women, and girls, and then it will be easy to capture the rest. Even if we don't capture them, in times of chaos and disaster, there's no way for orphans and children to survive!
So I think the only way is to fight to the death and let the people in the front know what they are guarding. And if they are protected on three sides, they don't have to worry about the enemy attacking from the rear. They can just focus on fighting the enemy, and we can also concentrate our manpower on the front."
Jiang Xiangnan and his group of men opened their mouths wide when they heard this. After a while, they closed their mouths and praised Huo Bing, "Sister-in-law, you are really amazing!"
"Sister-in-law, you are absolutely right!" Jiang Xiangbei felt that this was what he thought!
He'd be afraid if he encountered danger, but with his family behind him, he'd still charge forward even if he was afraid! And it couldn't be better not to have to worry about it, so he could just focus on the enemy!
Jiang Xiangxi also nodded.
Jiang Xiangdong looked at his wife with bright eyes, as if he was proud of her.
His wife is really amazing. He used to think she only knew how to hang around the stove, but he didn't expect her to be so insightful.
How come he hadn't noticed it before? But there hadn't been many opportunities to discover it before!
This time it was his mother who encouraged him, otherwise Ah Bing wouldn’t have said so much. Next time he will take the initiative to ask Ah Bing!
Shen Qing said to his sons, "Third and fourth sons, do you two understand? Go and talk to your second grandfather and make sure to make it clear that it was your sister-in-law who came up with this idea.
As for whether they will adopt it or not, and how much they will adopt, you two just need to wait there a little longer and come back to tell us."
Jiang Xiangnan and Jiang Xiangbei stood up suddenly and responded energetically, "Okay! We know what to say!"
Shen Qing looked at the eldest brother again, "Your wife is amazing, you should take the initiative to take care of more children so that she can free up her energy. You must be her backing and not delay her."
