Chapter 902 Village Fight
After confirming the attack, Lu Qingqing's inexplicable anxiety finally subsided.
She quickly went back into the house, retrieved her composite bow and quiver, and put on her longsword.
Finally, he tucked a row of grenades into his waistband and hurriedly ran outside.
Behind them, Qin Lang and Sun Yue, wielding long swords, followed closely.
Old Zhuang, who was at the very back, also tried to run away, but Lu Qingqing stopped him.
"Lock the front door and don't come out!"
If there is any danger, use the grenade I gave you for self-defense.
You've practiced how to use it many times already, don't be nervous, throw it far!
Old Zhuang swallowed nervously, but before he could say anything, he saw the three children run off in a hurry.
He watched the three run off in the direction they had gone, and his heart pounded with anxiety.
After closing the gate, they braced it with the gate bar.
Finally, I checked the traps along the courtyard wall.
After confirming that everything was alright, I returned to my little house.
Following the procedure Lu Qingqing had instructed him to follow, he used several large boxes to block the door.
They dragged the grain sacks over and piled them up at the back.
After finishing all the work, he was walking with a slightly unsteady gait.
Looking at the few dishes on the kang table that were still steaming, I was momentarily dazed.
The image of him eating with his three children just now overlapped with this scene, and then quickly disappeared.
Old Zhuang realized he had panicked.
He had previously heard Lu Qingqing mention the possibility of those refugees launching a sneak attack.
I've also heard her analyze the number of refugees and their ferocity.
Knowing that the refugees had really attacked, it would be a lie to say I wasn't panicked.
With trembling hands, he took out the three grenades that Lu Qingqing had given him and placed them in a row on the windowsill near the door.
He then took out the machete he always carried and held it in his arms.
Only then did things become a little more stable.
Outside, Lu Qingqing and her two companions were running wildly toward the east end of the village.
As Bai Song and Uncle Lao Wu had discussed before, if the village was attacked, in addition to the villagers on duty,
The remaining people decided whether to go to the east or west of the village to provide assistance based on the location of their houses.
Lu Qingqing and the others were assigned to the east end of the village.
On the way east, villagers carrying weapons would occasionally come out and run eastward.
Some even came out earlier than them.
During this time, they also encountered a small number of soldiers.
Lu Qingqing assumed the other soldiers had already passed by and didn't think much of it.
Before they even reached the village entrance, they saw a large group of refugees rushing towards them.
The overwhelming force of their advance quickly overwhelmed the villagers who tried to resist.
After a few screams, there was silence.
The refugees, like a tide, filled the streets and moved forward.
Looking at the villagers, whose numbers far outnumbered those of the refugees, Lu Qingqing's heart sank to the bottom.
Looking at the soldiers and villagers who were still fighting hard, she shouted loudly.
"Quick, let's find somewhere to hide. We can't win a direct confrontation!"
Upon hearing the shouts, the villagers and the few soldiers resisted while retreating.
Seeing that they had separated by some distance, Lu Qingqing used arrows to suppress them and helped the ten or so people who were closest to them escape.
Seeing the approaching crowd of refugees, Qin Lang grabbed Lu Qingqing, who was still trying to throw a grenade, and ran quickly into the village.
The fleeing villagers and soldiers also sought shelter in nearby houses.
In the current situation, houses with high walls in the village have become the best defensive points.
Lu Qingqing and her group fought and retreated, and soon arrived at the courtyard where the soldiers lived.
After hurriedly hiding inside, everyone quickly closed the courtyard gate.
Lu Qingqing looked back and saw that Sun Yue was still following behind them, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
But not long after they closed the door, the group of refugees outside followed them in.
As a large number of footsteps approached, only a small group remained outside the door, frantically banging and crashing against it.
The main force gradually moved away and surged into the village.
Lu Qingqing quickly surveyed the yard, then moved a ladder and climbed over the wall.
Fortunately, after Bai Song led the soldiers to move in...
They complained that the village's courtyard walls were too low and raised them once.
Now, Lu Qingqing is squatting on top, so she doesn't have to worry about the frenzied refugees below touching her.
After securing the position, she quickly took the compound bow off her back.
He drew an arrow, nocked it, and the arrow flew out, striking a refugee squarely in the neck.
This immediately caught the attention of the vagrants outside the door.
Of the dozen or so people banging on the door, seven or eight rushed over.
They stood at the foot of the wall, jumping as they tried to reach it.
Lu Qingqing fired directly at close range, killing them one by one.
After killing four or five people, the refugees began to climb up by stepping on the backs of others.
Just as she was about to climb up, Lu Qingqing casually drew the long knife from her waist.
A flash of light, and a head flew off.
At the same time, the corpse, which was still in a climbing posture, fell heavily backward.
Although both broadswords and bows and arrows kill, the scenes they create are completely different.
When an arrow pierces the neck or chest, it usually stays embedded in the flesh.
When a long knife cuts off a head, blood spurts out violently.
Large amounts of warm, bloody liquid were splashed onto the faces and bodies of the refugees below.
Even though the light wasn't great at night, the refugees below could still imagine the bloody scene.
The refugees immediately stopped climbing uphill.
Many refugees glanced at Lu Qingqing, who was holding a large knife on the wall, and then turned and ran away.
In no time, the area outside the door was completely deserted.
Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little puzzled.
The combined bow and arrows I just used killed eight or nine people, but it was still less effective than killing one person with a knife. The deterrent effect was much greater.
However, she couldn't care less about her doubts at that moment.
Her attention was completely drawn to the conversation between Qin Lang and the soldiers below.
It turned out that the soldiers had started having stomach problems after dinner.
At first, only two or three people reacted.
But not long after, most of the people in the courtyard started having stomach problems.
By the time it got completely dark, almost none of the courtyards were intact.
The soldiers that Lu Qingqing just saw were the only ones left who could still move among the soldiers living in this east courtyard!
As Lu Qingqing descended the ladder, she inquired about the specific details.
When they learned that it was dinner time, they found out that their previous dry rations had run out, so they had been given freshly steamed dry rations instead.
This new ration was given to Xu Erniu in Bai Laoda's courtyard that afternoon.
He led about twenty women from the east courtyard, who had just been steamed.
After hearing this, Lu Qingqing sighed deeply.
Baisong's side still couldn't be defended!
At this point, it's likely that everyone in the courtyard will be too weak to stand up.
The few soldiers who survived were used to being frugal and didn't want to eat the newly issued rations.
But there are only a dozen or twenty such people in total.
Compared to the massive number of displaced people, it's a drop in the ocean.
Lu Qingqing told the soldiers to stay home and guard the house, then called Qin Lang and Sun Yue to go out.
After the three of them came out, they ran straight towards the courtyard.
With so many refugees now, if we want to eliminate them quickly, we still need to involve Bai Song's soldiers.
Because we don't know if the water in the space can cure diarrhea.
Just to be on the safe side, she went to Old Man Zhuang to get some antidiarrheal medicine first.
When the time comes, mixing the antidiarrheal medication with the space water should make it work faster.
