This matter is related to the lives of all the people, and they are not allowed to be merciless or careless. The three old men holding the dove stick looked gloomy and ordered everyone not to bring more things, otherwise they would be expelled from the settlement.

The timid mountain people acted quickly, and each brought their families to their homes to pack up their life-saving food, clothing and quilts, and prepared to hide in the tunnel to escape. The old people who had dug the tunnel before said that this life-saving tunnel could lead to somewhere behind the mountain.

Yan Xing and the girl who rushed back to the gathering learned about the response and measures. The girl hurriedly packed her things. He ran back to his room to wear armor and took his own weapons and bows. When he returned to the central open space, he accidentally found that more than twenty young and strong men were not carrying food and clothing, but holding a bow and spear, and quickly climbed up the corner tower to prepare for defense. The big bull and tiger head were among them.

This arrangement made Yan Xing feel nervous. It seemed that the enemy was also prepared. He searched the mountains and forests and hid his whereabouts until he was approaching the settlement. He was not discovered within a few miles of the settlement. More than half of the women, children, elderly and weak in the settlement. This retreat speed would not help even if he escaped into the tunnel.

After all, there was no stop. The enemy who drove straight into the settlement and found that the people in the settlement were empty. As long as they were not idiots, they would soon find clues left behind because of the mountain people's retreat in a hurry and could not cover up their whereabouts in time.

At that time, once the tunnel that was unfortunately discovered by the enemy will be a disaster for the mountain people. This kind of tunnel that escapes is not like the tunnel that is specially built for tunnel warfare, including underground fortresses, storage rooms and other fortifications. After the enemy discovers it, they do not have to dig the tunnels and follow them and chase them. They just need to light a fire and smoke at the entrance to easily bring their families and take their homes and move slowly and are crowded in the narrow tunnels to death.

Therefore, in the face of this possible consequence, the people in the settlement had to choose a hero to cut off their arm and leave some young and strong people to defend and resist in order to delay time.

The young and strong people who stayed behind either had brothers at home or volunteered. At this time, they were all prepared to resist the enemy with the mentality of sacrificing themselves and to buy time for their families and tribe members to escape.

However, this kind of method of cutting off one's arm is also unreliable in Yan Xing's opinion. It is very likely that after sacrificing the lives of these twenty men, the enemy troops who invaded the settlement still discovered the authenticity.

After all, what can we do to deal with a strong army of strong soldiers and soldiers simply rely on more than twenty mountain men who rely on their own blood and courage? They can only resist in a moment when they are in a car. If they abandon the old, weak, women and children, they may escape through the tunnel at the speed of these young men. However, in this way, the settlement will be like scattered. Most of the young men who have lost their wives, children and parents can no longer survive and reproduce in this mountain.

The only way in front of us is to use strategies to make the aggressive enemy suffer a great loss, and then hesitate and dare not attack rashly. After the night falls, the people in the settlement will take the opportunity to retreat secretly. Only in this way can the public be protected to the greatest extent and reduce unnecessary casualties.

However, this time, will the mountaineering people in the settlement give up the seemingly possible opportunity to escape and stay and obey their own commands? Or will the middle-aged Confucian scholar who failed to recruit, "Strict Teacher", agree with his own views and cooperate with him to persuade these mountaineering people who are already in power to engage in a life-and-death adventure?

At present, no matter whether the other party agrees or not, Yan Xing, who has always been decisive in doing things, must give it a try. This concerns the lives of most of them, and they must not hesitate to drag it down.

Yan Xing strode to the side of the Yan Shi and the old man who was commanding the manpower. He said solemnly:

"Sir, Ahon, I have something important to say!"

The old man looked at Yan Xing without saying anything. The shiny light flashed in the eyes of the Master Yan, and he reached out to signal Yan Xing to continue.

"It is quite inappropriate to retreat like this. The enemy is fast and fierce. There are many women, children, old and weak in gathering. Once the people in front cannot resist, the people behind will not have time to retreat. At that time, the enemy will blow the fire with the wind and set off smoke into the road, and I am afraid that we will all be trapped in the tunnel-"

Yan Xing was worried. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man who had been impatient for hearing it. In the eyes of the old man, Yan Xing was an outsider. Now, if he had not seen him retreating the riots for the settlement, who would have been willing to take him in? Now, the people in the settlement were all preparing to escape, but he came out to question his decision. If he had not been concerned about the other party's extraordinary skills, he would have been scolded by the old man who was anxious in his heart.

It was not surprising that the old man had this behavior. He looked at Master Yan, believing that with his talent, he also saw this fatal point. He did not feel anxious and lost his general judgment, so he could not completely ignore the danger that was extremely likely to happen in his words.

Master Yan also thought of this in his heart, but there was no better way. He reached out to calm the old man's emotions and asked softly:

"Then what method do you have?"

"When you are weak, you will be suspicious; when you are hard and soft, you will be stranger and stranger."

Master Yan's eyes were full of brilliant colors. Obviously, Yan Xing's words had already hit his mind. He hurriedly said:

"If it was left to you for arrangement, what would you do?"

Yan Xing didn't postpone it either, he said calmly:

"If I leave it to me for arrangement, I will let the elderly, weak, women and children go first, and all the young and strong stay, without any defense on the fort, and bluff the ambush to confuse the enemy and dare not attack. If the enemy tentatively attack, they can counterattack with great fanfare. After nightfall, the remaining people will retreat one after another!"

"No, if you do what you said, then if the village gate is still broken in an instant, wouldn't it be necessary to compensate all the young and strong people in the settlement? It's absolutely not possible!"

The old man's avatar shook like a rattle. He could never support Yan Xing's arrangement. He really couldn't imagine how the survivors would survive if his family's settlement had no more young and strong people and only a large number of elderly, weak, women and children were left.

Yan Xing was not surprised to see the old man refuse. He knew that the breakthrough point in front of him fell on this Yan Master. He retorted:

"If all the young and strong men work together to prevent the village gate, then what's the point of leaving these twenty young and strong men? In the end, not everyone will be killed. Instead of sitting there and waiting to die, who would have risen and rescued them and take the risk to fight. Perhaps most people can survive. Even if they are killed in failure, they will be better than being found by the enemy and suffocating them to death and choking them to death!"

The old man was furious when he heard Yan Xing's rebuttal. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Yan Xing angrily. His thin body kept trembling, but he couldn't say anything.

"You, you-"

Yan Xing ignored the old man and just stared at Master Yan's expression. Sure enough, under his gaze, Master Yan quickly made a decision. He clapped his hands and shouted:

"What a 'rather than sit and wait for death, who would be better to get up and save it'. Such courage is beyond ordinary people! Then follow your method, well - from now on, all the Ding Zhuang gathered will be left to you to command!"
