Chapter 185 Big conspicuous bag
Shen Zhiqiu and his companions standing on the ladder saw with their own eyes that rows of archers were aiming their bows and arrows at them.
He even suspected that if he made the slightest rash move, he would be shot through the head with an arrow.
The person who was shouting saw that the soldiers were ready, and then he started counting: "1, 2..."
I really scared them to death. Even Shen Youyou, who didn't see anything, cursed in her heart, "Why didn't you count first? We are not unwilling to surrender, what are you preparing for?"
But now is not the time to talk about this. Shen Youyou called his father in a low voice: "Dad, surrender first. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood."
The main reason was that the other party didn't really shoot the arrow directly, so she felt there was still room for maneuver.
Shen Zhiqiu was startled and shouted: "Don't shoot, we are not bandits, we surrender!"
Then many people shouted together, we surrender!
You can't afford to offend them. There is no chance of fighting at all. Don't think that these real bandits who claim to rebel and establish themselves as kings really have the strength to do so. To be honest, most of them are just a bunch of small fry.
At most, they can just show off their might in front of the common people, but when they meet real soldiers, they are more cowardly than anyone else.
Shen Youyou was also extremely nervous at this time, and whispered to the people around him: "Hold your weapons and hide them. If they come up and shout for war and killing, we will run away desperately. Whoever can escape will be a success."
It would have been better if she hadn't said that. But now that she had said that, everyone remembered Shen Zhiqiu's words about the massacre of the city before they fled. Oh my god! It was too scary.
Many women's legs went weak and they sat down on the ground. Shen Youyou was anxious and shouted at them in a low voice, "Get up!"
She held her big knife tightly, and stood in front of her grandparents, mother, aunt and fourth aunt with her father, uncles and brothers. Behind her were her elder and second elder sisters, who were trembling with fear.
But even though everyone else was crying for their parents, in Shenjia Village, not even the kids were crying.
In fact, it’s not because they are really brave, but because they still remember what the leader said, that crying is useless at the critical moment, and little kids should not cry, as it will cause trouble for adults.
Even though he was so scared that tears welled up in his eyes, he didn't cry or howl.
In the dark night, the others also kept their eyes open, staring at the gate of the mountain village. Shen Zhiqiu and the others also came down from the ladder.
"Open the door!"
The soldiers outside shouted again, apparently asking them to open the door themselves.
Now the bandits were all tied up, and the only ones who could move were Shen Zhiqiu and his group, as well as some women who had just been rescued.
It was obvious that they were the only ones who could open the door. Just as Shen Zhiqiu was about to step forward, he was pushed back by his eldest brother.
At the critical moment, eldest brother Shen Zhichun stood up, and even Shen Zhidong stood in front of Shen Zhiqiu.
My eldest brother-in-law Wang Fuxi, Shen Mazi, Shen Fugui, Li Quan, Gao Liehu, and the sons of Doctor Guo all stood up.
Master Shen grabbed Shen Zhiqiu and said, "Little Sanzi, find a chance and run away. Don't worry about us. Try to run with the children. We old men can't run away, but we can buy you some time."
Shen Zhiqiu's family of three were so frightened that they didn't cry just now, but now they were really moved.
The three of them worked hard along the way, but since they live together, everyone can contribute.
But at times like this, no matter whether I can really run away or not, I feel really moved.
As Shen Zhichun and his men opened the gate of the stronghold, they were faced with an extra-large crossbow with very thick arrows pointing directly at the gate.
There is no doubt that this must be the regular army of the imperial court!
Then countless soldiers armed with bows and arrows and various weapons rushed in.
Just like a dam releasing floodwaters, it soon surrounded them and the tied-up bandits.
At this time, after a night of hard work, it was estimated that dawn would be in an hour or so, and there was still a faint fog in the mountains and forests.
The other party had shiny weapons, uniform black armor, and was well-trained. Even if they wanted to take advantage of the darkness to blend into the enemy's crowd and take the opportunity to escape, they couldn't do it.
At this time, most people were silent and just knelt down. No one even begged for mercy. The same went for the tied bandits. Those who could kneel knelt, and those who couldn't kneel lay down.
"Everyone be obedient. Anyone who resists will be killed!"
Shen Youyou's family knelt like the crowd, feeling as if they were surrounded by enemies.
Looking back now, it was simply wishful thinking to think of resisting at that time. Facing these regular troops, they were like chickens and dogs with no ability to resist.
I have to say, no matter where you go, the saying that the strong are respected will always apply.
They knelt obediently, surrounded by soldiers and officers. The main task of the soldiers and officers was not to guard them, but many of them were dispersed to search the village.
I guess they are either searching to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, or searching to see where there are food and treasures.
Thinking of this, Shen Youyou suddenly realized, Oh my! These officers and soldiers came at the wrong time. Can the gold, silver and jewelry they just found still be theirs?
I really feel that they were so unlucky this time. Why couldn't they come an hour or two later? Maybe they would have retreated as a group.
At this moment, a clear young man's voice sounded: "Is everything here?"
The person who went to search nearby came back and reported: "General, we are all here. Didn't you find anyone else in the village?"
Shen Youyou quietly raised her face, which was deliberately covered with black dust, and saw that there was a gap in the encirclement at some point, and a man was standing there. The man was wearing silver armor, and he looked dignified and heroic.
Behind him was a team of people also wearing black armor, which was extremely conspicuous.
Just imagine, in the dark night, among a group of people wearing black clothes, there is suddenly one wearing white. That bag will definitely stand out.
The general glanced at the crowd, his eyes were so light that he probably didn't even see clearly, and he asked, "Why are there still people tied up?"
As a result, those who were tied up reacted and begged for mercy: "General, help us, we are refugees tied up on the mountain, please save us?"
Shen Zhiqiu and Shen Youyou were cursing in their hearts at the same time. What a damn good excuse!
The people of Shenjia Village also reacted, and they kowtowed and shouted: "General, we are the refugees, they are the bandits, and we were kidnapped by the bandits."
The rescued women also shouted: "Those who were tied up are bandits, those who were tied up are bandits."
For a moment, the scene was in chaos again.
Shen Youyou mixed in the crowd and kowtowed insincerely. In just a short while, she kowtowed more than ten times, but in her heart she kept cursing this disruptive general.
You are so awesome. Isn’t it cool to see so many old people kneeling down to you?
Look at how cocky you are. One day we will be able to make something of ourselves. We will never kneel down before any petty official or soldier.
