The scream came from the mouth of the barbarian warrior.
Looking over there from the direction of the Wei family courtyard, the view is slightly blocked and it is no longer clear.
"What's going on?"
"It seems that the barbarians stepped on something..."
Wei Mingxuan climbed up the ladder from the front building, took a closer look and said, "It's a mousetrap. Someone put a lot of mousetraps on the road, and those barbarians stepped on several of them!"
Immediately following the scream, there were the sounds of several arrows breaking through the air coming from other directions.
Don't forget that although the people living in the south of the city are ordinary people, a large number of them have family members who have joined the army or served in the city defense. It is not uncommon for a family to have several weapons.
Besides, the North Gate is remote and cold, and apart from food, there are few meats and vegetables after the cold weather. Many families would go into the mountains and forests in early autumn before the temperature gets cold enough and the forests freeze over to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits, and also try their luck hunting before the animals in the forest hibernate.
There are many people in the south of the city who are good at archery, but ordinary people may not have that much strength.
But from regular hunting, I still have some accuracy, especially for moving targets.
The arrows shot by the Wei family seemed to set an example for everyone. Those who had previously hesitated as to whether or not to take action also joined in.
There are more than a thousand people in South City?
And there were only a hundred barbarians who entered the city from the South Gate!
As long as they can consume part of it, the rest will be even less of a concern!
We will surely be able to hold out until the city defense or the troops stationed in the north come to our aid.
Even though the Northern Barbarian warriors were extremely skilled, they could not completely avoid the arrows that were shot from all directions without warning and in any irregular manner.
Out of every ten bullets, at least three or four hit people.
Even though the force was far from fatal, it might have caused them many new injuries and consumed their fighting strength.
"Mother, be careful, there are a few people coming to Jingping Lane!"
As the first to take action, the Wei family was bound to be caught in the sight of the barbarians. A total of six barbarians, holding scimitars, ran towards here.
"Be prepared and try to kill them all. Don't leave any alive."
Gao reminded everyone.
The Wei family was located near the entrance of the alley, with only two families in front.
When the fragrance of flowers wafted through the city earlier, Gao had sent someone to warn the neighbors in the alley that something might happen tonight.
In both families, there were men serving in the Northern Army. Apart from the women, there were the elderly, children, and underage males in the family.
The entrance of the alley was too dangerous, and the two families had no secret rooms to hide in, so the elderly and children in the family moved to the Bai family at the end of the alley in the middle of the night.
In the entire alley, the Bai family courtyard located at the deepest part is the safest.
After all, the barbarians may not have the patience to search the deepest part of the alley.
At this time, there were only a few people left in the two courtyards.
From the main street facing the city gate, going around to the side of Jingping Lane, the mystery on the roof of the Wei family's house is exposed. This is why Gao deliberately did not let anyone cover it up.
I saw those northern barbarian warriors running straight into the alley.
"Shoot!" Gao gave the order.
Several arrows flew out. One arrow was accurate and fierce, and it was not shot by the Wei family, but by Ying Shiqi, who had appeared on the roof of the Wei family without knowing when.
The arrow directly pierced the thigh of the barbarian warrior running in front.
The barbarian staggered and fell forward.
Before the remaining five people could react, a pot of hot oil was poured down the wall of the small courtyard next to them.
Including the one who fell to the ground, three barbarians were unable to dodge and were splashed with oil.
"Crackling", the sound of skin and flesh being torn apart was heard.
Even from a short distance away, I could seem to smell the burnt aroma of hot oil being poured on the flesh.
The people inside the courtyard wall did not dare to delay for a moment. They threw the iron pot and shovel in their hands directly down the wall, turned around, jumped down the ladder and ran into the house.
How dare the people of Dayong resist like this?
The barbarian warriors were extremely shocked and angry. The few who were still able to move raised their swords and were about to chop at the gate next to them.
How could the Wei family allow them to rush into the first two courtyards?
There were only two middle-aged women and their underage sons left in the yard.
They had already done their utmost to pour out the hot oil. If the barbarians were allowed to enter the courtyard, they would probably lose their lives.
Without Gao's reminder, the Wei family had already rushed out of the yard and started taking action.
Of the six barbarian warriors, only three were still able to move normally. Liu Quan and Dong Da each fought one. Sui He saw that the two were struggling, so he also joined the battle with a huge stone axe. Ying Shiqi, who was hiding on the wall, flew down and fought the remaining barbarian warrior.
There was a fierce fight in the alley.
In the chaos, the barbarian warrior who had been shot in the thigh by an arrow and had hot oil splashed on his back, quietly moved.
He grabbed the dagger beside his ankle and rolled over to stand behind Suihe.
"Be careful!" Wei Mingxuan's martial arts skills were far inferior to those of others.
At this moment, he didn't care about so many things. He swung his sword and slashed at the back of the barbarian warrior.
The barbarian warrior was faster than him. He moved his uninjured leg back a little and turned around. The big knife that was originally aimed at Suihe was already in front of Wei Mingxuan.
At this moment, a sword blade came head-on against the scimitar.
Even though the sword was chopped by the scimitar and shook three times due to the huge force, the person holding the sword still held it tightly and did not let the scimitar move forward at all.
Wei Mingxuan quickly seized the opportunity, swung the sword in his hand, and stabbed the barbarian warrior's arm.
The barbarian warrior was already wounded in many places, and in pain, the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Without the scimitar's defense, the sword swung and hit the barbarian warrior's neck without hesitation.
He chopped the barbarian warrior twice, not giving him any chance to fight back, and then took his head away.
"call……"
Looking at the barbarian's corpse lying in front of him, Wei Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a little bit, he would have been killed by the barbarian warrior!
Fortunately...
Wei Mingxuan looked at Miss Bai Si, who was wearing a gray martial arts uniform and had her hair tied up high, with gratitude in his eyes.
The man who was being watched by such grateful eyes tightened his sword, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, chop off the heads of those two barbarians on the ground!"
Only those who have completely lost their ability to move are not a threat.
Everyone has long heard about the physical fitness of the northern barbarians.
Only by separating the head from the neck and making it deader than ever can people feel completely relieved.
In a moment, six headless corpses and six round heads appeared in the alley.
Outside the alley, nearly half of the barbarian warriors who broke into the city were killed by the passionate and brave northern people.
At the same time, Wei Yunlan had arrived at the north city gate.
