Chapter 313: With that little money, it's reasonable to hire a loser

Liu Sheng and his men arrived at noon.

He gave orders quite professionally: "The entrance inside is narrow and can't accommodate so many of us. Let's set up camp outside first!

Come on, come on, fifty people a team, divided into seven teams, each dig your own stove hole, light a fire and cook, eat your fill and rush in at once, and try to take it down in one fell swoop! "

He now understood what it meant that money makes the world go round!

He had plenty of silver and food. Yes, he didn't know how to march and fight, and he didn't even know how to dig a stove hole or spend the night in the wild to protect himself from the wind, but what did it matter?

He could spend money and food to treat the wounded and disabled soldiers who had returned. Not only did they know how to do small things like digging stoves and cooking, they had even personally participated in how to attack a city!

Not to mention that this is just a small village, even if it is the city wall of Jincheng, he can take it down as long as he is given enough soldiers!

He came prepared this time!

He found the lame man, bowed and asked politely, "Brother Wang, what do you think is the best way to make dinner after we finish it?"

Brother Wang was holding a piece of thatch root in his mouth, savoring it. Upon hearing this, he spat it out and said with disdain, "Didn't you say that there were only a little over a hundred people in there, young and old?

There are more than 350 of us, all of us are men in our prime. With such a huge disparity in numbers, what are we afraid of? There's nothing to see. We'll just chop down a tree, break open the door, and rush in to finish it off."

Liu Sheng rubbed his hands and said anxiously, "I forgot to tell you before I came here. There's a river in front of the village gate. The drawbridge is up, so we can't just knock on the gate."

It's not that he forgot, but it was obviously more difficult to say these things. After Brother Wang's leg injury, he valued money more than his life. After hearing this, he would definitely ask for more money before he agreed!

Now that everyone is here, if I quit I won't even get the agreed-upon salary. Brother Wang is a smart man and he will definitely know the best decision.

Brother Wang also figured out the ins and outs of it. His face darkened and he squinted his eyes as he looked at Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng had a chuckle on his face, but his narrowed eyes were full of calculations.

Brother Wang pursed his lips and said coldly, "It's not difficult. It's impossible to surround the entire village with a wall. I'm not a native of the village, so I don't have a lot of free time to build a wall.

Their wall must only be one section long. Find a gap, send the vanguard through, and then come back to open the gate."

Liu Sheng said in embarrassment: “Brother Wang, you didn’t come last time, so you don’t know the situation inside. There is a river at the entrance of the village. They built a wall along the river, extending to the mountains on both sides;

In other words, the gaps are completely blocked by the wall, and there is a river more than two meters wide in front of the wall. To reach the area without the wall, you need to climb over the mountain.

After hearing this, Brother Wang straightened up from his crooked sitting position, and looked at Liu Sheng with sharp eyes.

Climbing the mountain is absolutely impossible.

Not only is this mountain range high, but it has also snowed several times since the beginning of winter, and there is unmelted snow everywhere. People who are not familiar with the mountains and forests may lose their hands and feet if they step on empty air, or even lose their lives!

And even if they could safely cross the mountain and reach the village, they would have already exhausted all their strength. What could they use to fight?

This Liu Sheng is greedy, evil, and stupid! He didn't tell me such an important thing in advance!

Liu Sheng unconsciously bent his back even more and laughed, "That's why we spent so much money to invite Brother Wang to come and take the helm!"

In other words, his reward included these difficult tasks!

Brother Wang retracted his gaze and said in a muffled voice: “Then build a ladder. Cut down some trees to make wooden ladders. Fortunately, the river water is now frozen, and the ladder can withstand the ice.

We made more than ten wooden ladders at once, and people kept rushing up. A group of country folk who had never seen the world would probably panic when they saw people climbing up. We took this opportunity to climb in.

Even if they react quickly on the ladder, it won't matter. We're outnumbered. Even if we don't fight back and let them hit us, they won't be able to react quickly! They might even exhaust themselves first.

No matter which one, the first person to climb in will open the door and lower the drawbridge. Once the drawbridge is lowered, they won't be able to escape!"

The smile on Liu Sheng's face gradually widened and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it’s different when you spend money. No matter what the situation is, you can always come up with a solution!

So what if the people of Qili Village built a wall? So what if there’s a river blocking the way?

It's not going to be easy to take down now.

As for the iron nails and wooden thorns on the wall, what’s the big deal? They can’t kill people, they can only hurt and cause bleeding. It’s not him who did it himself, so let others get hurt.

He doesn't need their long-term loyalty, nor does he care about their safety. He just needs them to complete the tasks he has given them!

He said happily, "Okay, okay, after we finish our meal, we'll chop down some trees and make ladders. This place may be desolate, but the last thing we lack is trees."

It seems like God is helping him.

What Brother Wang was thinking was, if Liu Sheng hadn't been so greedy and informed him in advance, with the official position of the person behind him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to borrow a flying bridge, ladders, assault vehicles, catapults... from the Jincheng County Magistrate.

At that time, what does it matter if there is a river to resist?

Which city doesn’t have a moat?

The flying bridge is a tool used to cross the moat. As long as you build the flying bridge and use the assault vehicle to hit the gate, it will be effortless to break in.

In addition, the ladder is completely different from the wooden ladder they made themselves. If the wooden ladder they made themselves was placed on the ice, it would fall down faster than anything else without anyone to support it!

The ladder has a thick base and a solid body, and there are iron hooks on it to hook the top of the wall tightly. Not only does it not need anyone to support it, but it would be as easy as climbing to the sky for someone on top to shake it.

Then there are the catapults, which, as the name suggests, have great destructive power.

.....Forget it, he can only do so much according to the money he is paid. It is reasonable for Liu Shenghua to hire a loser with the little money he has. Besides, what he said just now is already worthy of that little money.

Why should he complicate things and make them more difficult?

Finish it quickly and go back quickly, it’s so cold!

Over there, Liu Sheng was extremely excited and actively directing everyone to cut trees to make wooden ladders. He had already imagined the scene of his men rushing in to fight and the people of Qili Village running around with their heads in their hands.

And Jiang Yu would surely burst into tears and kneel before him begging...

The guys on the lookout saw the figure and quickly struck the gong!

The loud sound spread throughout the village, and soon people ran out of the houses and gathered at the entrance.

The three families of Boss Lei came out of the workshop. They were on the mountain and their voices could not be heard. Going up and down was time-consuming and laborious, so after they learned about the situation, they packed up their bedding and mattresses and temporarily settled down in the workshop.

Not to mention, the house with floor heating is much more comfortable than theirs!

Now, when he heard the gong, he immediately took down the bow and arrow hanging on the wall, slung them over his shoulders and rushed towards the entrance.

Liu Sheng arrived two or three days later than they expected. During these few days, weapons, food, firewood... were prepared as fully as possible!

Even various emergencies and responses are envisioned.
