Chapter 51: The Admiral's Wind >

ng Lin let out a sigh of relief and shrugged. "My lady, don't blame me, you can only blame your just-made lies that almost made me believe them.""Just now for a split second, it really scared me! But...After arranging for Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu, Yang Lin led the women to ambush throughout the courtyard.

At this time, Zhong Tao arrived with his bodyguard team.

Seeing Yang Lin and the other women were still in the courtyard, Zhong Tao hurriedly said, "Why haven't you run yet"

Yang Lin shook his head. "We're not running away."

"What"

Zhong Tao seemed not to have heard.

The bodyguards behind him also stared blankly at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin smiled and didn't explain, just said: "Don't worry, we're fine, you guys go now."

"No, we have to walk together!"

Zhong Tao suddenly realized something: "You wouldn't want to stay and fight bandits, would you"

He stared at Yang Lin in disbelief.

Yang Lin countered, "What's the matter Is there a problem"

"This... This is too dangerous! Bandits are ruthless murderers, if you stay here, you're as good as dead!" Zhong Tao anxiously said.

Yang Lin smiled: "Big brother Zhong, you don't need to persuade me anymore. You know my decision won't change."

"You all leave quickly, as for here, I'll stay with the ladies!"

I'd like to see if those bandits have three heads and six arms, or if they're immortal.

At this moment, Zhong Tao was shocked by Yang Lin's calm tone.

He looked at the frail Yang Lin, then at the pitchfork he was carrying in his hand. Zhong Tao's breathing also became rapid.

"Yang Lin, are you really going to fight the bandits"

Zhong Tao stared straight at Yang Lin.

Of course.

"Good, I'll stay with you!" Zhong Tao clenched the pitchfork in his hand.

A flame ignited in his heart.

In the past, when bandits came, they had to flee, helplessly watching their hard-earned possessions being stolen. It was truly humiliating!

But even if it's frustrating, there's no way to resist because no one has ever thought about resisting.

Even many people have never seen a bandit's face. Every time they hear that bandits are coming, they quickly run away.

And this time, the frail Yang Lin stood up. He was going to stay and resist the bandits with his women!

This made the imposing Zhong Tao's face flush with heat.

Zhong Tao turned around and said to the few guards behind him, "Brothers, you go! I've decided to stay and fight the bandits with Yang Lin!"

Everyone was shocked.

At this time, someone stood up.

"Listen up, none of us are leaving. We're all staying to fight these bandits!"

"That's right, we're still the guard team. If bandits come, we run with them too. Then what are we guarding"

"That's right, if Yang Lin can stay, we can stay too!"

Our wages are all paid by Yang Lin. If Yang Lin is gone, our security team will be gone too.

"Yeah, bandits aren't much different from us, same number of arms and legs. We have so many people, what's there to be afraid of Let's take them down!"

The guard team consisted of ten men, selected from hundreds in the entire village. They were all young and strong, full of vigor. At this moment, more and more people stepped forward, talking excitedly, their words fueling their fighting spirit to a boil.

When Yang Lin saw this, he was greatly pleased.

They had the courage to stay, which is a good thing, and he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Originally, with the women all archers, the force had enough firepower. However, if bandits got too close, the consequences would be unimaginable!

And now, the guard squad is willing to stay. They have both ranged and melee combat abilities, their team composition is well-balanced, and the danger factor will be greatly reduced. "Good, since everyone is willing to stay, you'll all follow my orders!"

"Brother Zhong, you bring people to find a few pot lids as shields. The rest of you throw away the wooden sticks and replace them with pitchforks and axes. All of you hide behind my house."

"When the bandits arrive, don't rush out. Listen to my orders. Only when you hear 'Quick, quick, quick' can you come out! Don't move under any other circumstances, understand"

The guards nodded blankly.

Yang Lin explained very clearly, and they all understood.

But...

Zhong Tao questioned with doubt, "Ambush first and then charge out What's the use of that In my opinion, it's better to just wait here. When the bandits come, we'll fight them head-on!"

The rest of them nodded as well.

They didn't know Yang Lin had crossbows on this side, so they didn't understand at all why Yang Lin set up this ambush.

Yang Lin smiled: "Big Brother Zhong, just trust me!"

"Well, that's... alright."

Zhong Tao nodded. "You must call!"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely call if we can't solve it."

Zhong Tao immediately led people to find several pot lids and replaced the original wooden stick with a more lethal dung fork and axe. Then, he hid behind Yang Lin's house with his men.

The guards had been arranged, and more than an hour had passed since Zhao Fuguai's message. The bandits could arrive at any time.

Yang Lin also hurriedly arranged for the women to go to their respective positions.

Each person has a crossbow and is equipped with twelve arrows.

The eldest and second sisters hid behind the haystack on either side of the courtyard, while the fourth, fifth, and sixth sisters hid behind a temporary shelter erected inside the courtyard.

Liao Hongying scaled the wall and arrived at Lin's house next door. Without a ladder, she lightly leapt onto the roof like a swallow, lying behind the ridge of the roof with her crossbow drawn.

Yang Lin and Li Yuyao also went to the roof of their own house.

It was then that the guard squad realized in astonishment that Yang Lin and his women were each holding something strange.

But they still couldn't understand, hiding on the roof, how could they fight bandits

The village of Koushan is located on flat land. Lying on the roof at this moment, the entire village is within sight.

Li Yuyao leaned against Yang Lin, curiously peering down at the village from this angle. Her mind was racing with thoughts.

She wasn't nervous, just dealing with a few bandits.

And the power of the crossbow has already been proven.

Back then, with their three crossbows, they could easily take out the people Liu Youcai sent.

Now with eight crossbows, plenty of arrows, and preparations made in advance, dealing with seven or eight bandits shouldn't be a problem.

To Li Yiyao's surprise, Yang Lin had made these arrangements.

Yang Lin was just a scholar from the village, he had never been on the battlefield, let alone led troops. But at this moment, as he arranged his forces, there was a clear hierarchy and everything was in order, giving off an air of a great general!

He really couldn't figure it out, could this kind of ability be innate

How could she know, Yang Lin lived in a time of information explosion in his past life, who hadn't seen a few about

War movies.

Never been in the army, never watched TV

What about interspersed, ambushes, flanking maneuvers, and encirclements

What lures the enemy deep, attacking when they are unprepared.

Not to mention classics like the Thirty-Six Stratagems or Sun Tzu's Art of War, even a primary school student could recite some famous quotes.

In the information age, all kinds of useful and useless knowledge are passively received every day.

And this, is something that simply cannot be compared to anything in today's world.

Just as Li Yuyao was daydreaming, Yang Lin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Here they come!"nkly at Li Yuyao.He guessed that Li Yuxiang might have some trump cards.But I didn't expect Li Yuyao to be a nobleYang Lin also knows some historical knowledge, knowing that in ancient times, the stat...
