Shen Shuli nodded to her father, and then said: "We can prepare in many ways."
"First, seek outside help. Find a few people who have good relations with the nearby villages to ask for help. If the people from other villages are afraid and don't want to help, you can explain to them that if the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. Once our village is slaughtered, it will be their turn. Why not give it a try and work together!"
"Besides that, we can also bribe them. We got a lot of spoils this time, including a lot of silver and good horses. The logistics team of the horse bandits will definitely bring a lot of ox carts, donkey carts, mule carts, and horse carts if they want to get food. Anyone who participates in resisting the horse bandits will be rewarded according to their merits. Money can attract people, and some people will definitely be tempted!"
"Second, we set up an ambush in advance and have everyone who has a bow and arrow or can use a slingshot at home participate in the long-range attack to catch the enemy off guard. Then we dig traps outside the village, put kerosene and firewood in them, and use a fire wall to block them."
"If you have firecrackers at home, take them out. As long as there are enough of them, firecrackers can also cause rocks to collapse. Those bandits are also mortals, so they will definitely be injured. Then we can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."
"It's already dusk, and it will be completely dark in two hours. We villagers are most familiar with the terrain, so we have a great advantage."
"As long as we cooperate well, we may not be powerless."
There is a lot of room for maneuver here.
She proposed these things because she relied on the fact that there was a lot of ammunition, firecrackers, fireworks, etc. in the space, and she could operate behind the scenes.
Flour can also explode.
...
...
Even though they were fighting in an open field, the flour could still explode as long as the density of the flour was high enough and the surrounding firepower and airflow were strong enough.
Not to mention a hundred horse bandits, even if there were double the number, she could wipe them all out.
What's more, she and her parents all had pistols and an unlimited supply of bullets. Even without helpers or traps, the three of them could kill all the bandits.
The pistol is something that cannot be exposed easily, after all, there are countless eyes watching it.
If it gets out, it might bring a disaster to their family that is more dangerous than the horse bandits.
Su Yunhai immediately understood his daughter's intention and nodded to Li Rui, saying, "My daughter's suggestion is very good. We will implement it immediately after we refine it carefully. We don't have much time left."
Li Rui had no idea at all, so naturally he just followed whatever Su Yunhai said.
He quickly said to the villagers, "You heard it too. This is a matter of life and death for our entire village. We all must cooperate. Go and call out everyone in your homes who can move. Don't even think of slacking off!"
"I'm watching here. Anyone who wants to hide behind and reap the benefits will be kicked out of the village immediately after this is over!"
Li Rui is the son of the village chief and the successor to the next village chief. He has great prestige in the village.
His words represent the words of the village chief and are very authoritative.
The villagers did not dare to be careless and immediately went home to call their wives, sons, daughters, and anyone who could walk to come over.
Su Yunhai had already optimized the suggestions put forward by Shen Shuli in his mind and immediately assigned tasks to everyone.
All the men who had good relations with the neighboring villages, or the women whose families lived in the surrounding villages, were sent back to ask for external assistance.
Strong men, women, young and old all joined in to dig holes and set traps on the road.
The half-grown children took out firewood, firecrackers, lamp oil, tung oil, etc. from their homes.
The long-range team, those who have bows and slingshots at home are all working hard to practice their accuracy.
Some mothers-in-law and aunts also cooked big pots of rice to provide extra food for everyone.
After all, the strong laborers have been busy for most of the day. How can they face the vicious horse bandits without a full stomach?
Even if we lose in the end, at least we can die with a full stomach, right?
These grains were donated voluntarily by the villagers, as if they were mentally prepared for the worst.
Shen Yuehua brought some women and children to follow the doctor to collect useful medicinal herbs on the nearby hills.
The doctor had just used up all the herbs he had, so he had to collect as much as he could.
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai were setting traps.
The more he saw the various powerful bombs his daughter secretly took out, the more suspicious he became.
After being separated from my daughter for eight years, she has changed a lot and seems to have a lot more secrets.
Many of these ammunitions are obviously military, and many are models only available abroad.
How did she, an orphan with no one to rely on, get all these?
But now is not the time to ask these questions.
The two of them worked together to set up traps.
Time passes quietly.
The villagers had already hidden themselves according to their respective duties.
What made everyone most happy was that the people who went out to seek help ran to the five nearest villages and brought more than a hundred people in total, and each of them brought their own weapons!
Su Yunhai and Li Rui immediately assigned tasks to these people.
As soon as everyone was assigned, Shen Shuli immediately notified everyone.
"The bandits are coming!"
Everybody be on your guard!
It was already dark.
Many villagers could see a fire slowly approaching the village.
This batch of bandits is different from the previous ones.
The first group were the vanguards and pioneers.
The mission is to massacre the entire village.
They all have horses, which makes it convenient to run around the map quickly.
This batch, however, was much weaker in combat power and they were not yet on horseback.
They drove ox carts, donkey carts and mule carts. Most of the people were walking on the ground, talking and laughing, and walked towards the village without any precautions.
It was as if they had already seen countless amounts of food placed in front of them.
It was dark, and the torches could only illuminate a ten-foot area in front of them. No one noticed that they were on the road to death.
Wait until all the bandits are within the range of death.
Su Yunhai fired the first arrow.
"call out!"
The flaming arrow pierced the ground.
The group of bandits looked at the flaming arrow and hadn't yet figured out what was happening.
“Boom!”
The ammunition hidden under the bandits' feet was detonated instantly!
The bandits closest to the source of the explosion were blown into pieces, and their wailing echoed through the sky!
The bandits finally reacted.
Everyone's face changed drastically!
"There's an ambush! There's an ambush ahead! Retreat!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
In the dark night.
Clusters of meteors fell from the sky.
It was a rain of flaming arrows.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Even if the bandits in front of the team reacted, they would have nowhere to hide.
The livestock they brought had already been frightened by the explosion and were running around in panic.
They charged directly into the group of bandits, and many bandits were unfortunately hit or trampled to death by the animals.
The firecrackers and fireworks under our feet, mixed with landmines, bloomed brilliantly in the dark night.
The bandits at the end of the team finally reacted and were so frightened by the tragic situation.
In addition, I couldn't see anything in the pitch-black night, and my fear continued to grow.
They had no intention of fighting against them at all and just turned around and ran away.
In order to reduce casualties.
Shen Shuli tied firecrackers to the trophy horses that were too badly injured to be healed.
The frightened horses rushed towards the bandits with their last breath.
These injured horses were the ones that were stabbed by villagers during the last battle with the horse bandits. They can’t hold on for much longer and will be killed sooner or later.
Might as well make the best use of it.
These six frightened horses caused considerable losses to the bandit group.
"Charge! We can't let any of them get away!"
Following Su Yunhai's order.
All the villagers hiding in the dark chased the bandits as ferociously as cheetahs.
No one expected that the bandits would be frightened out of their wits by their ambush.
The villagers' morale instantly rose and they chased after their targets relentlessly.
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai each took a night vision goggles and a sniper rifle to kill any fish that escaped the net.
If any of these bandits escapes, go back and report it.
The bandits are likely to plan revenge against the villagers and mobilize their entire forces.
So, don’t let any one escape!
