Fortunately, it was a man who was screaming, so Wang Yu was not worried.
After the scream, the surrounding people gradually became excited.
"Enemy attack!"
Someone shrieked and made an even louder noise.
Then, the sound of a mechanism rang out in the manor. Lights lit up on the highest watchtower, and a weapon was aimed below.
Wang Yu's pupils constricted as he recognized the weapon.""It's actually a ballista! How did the Great Song allow these lunatics to get their hands on such lethal weapons?”
Ballista was a weapon of mass destruction in the cold weapon era. It was divided into double bow and triple bow.
The double bow ballista was weaker, with a range of 500 meters. However, the weapon fired by this ballista could still break armor and destroy cities.
The three-bow ballista was even more powerful, and its range could reach a thousand meters. This crossbow also had a familiar name-Eight Bull Crossbow, which meant that it could only be pulled apart by the strength of eight old bulls.
Wang Yu took a closer look. The bed crossbow on the archery tower was only a double-bow bed crossbow. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the situation was still grim.
If the people above pulled the ballista, the casualties in tonight's operation might increase greatly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a bronze incense burner half a meter tall in the courtyard. There was a layer of incense ash piled up inside, and he immediately had an idea.
Walking to the incense burner, Wang Yu lifted the incense burner's leg, poured out the incense ash, and raised it up.
He smiled as he listened to the sounds of the bowstrings being pulled.
"Go!"
The next moment, Wang Yu leaned back and threw the incense burner out.
The incense burner weighed more than 300 pounds, but it was as light as a feather in Wang Yu's hand. It was thrown away and immediately made a sound of breaking through the air. In the blink of an eye, it smashed into the arrow tower that was more than 20 meters tall.
"Boom!"
With such a heavy object and such a fast speed, its power was no less than a cannonball. A loud sound immediately sounded from the arrow tower, and the earth and bricks collapsed.
As Wang Yu's primary target, the ballista was naturally not spared. It was hit by the incense burner and instantly shattered into pieces.
The bowstring was originally taut, but now it suddenly spread out and bounced in all directions. Its sharpness was no weaker than a sword, and it instantly cut the surrounding death warriors who were using ballistae in half.
At this moment, the Wang family's maidservants who wanted to attack the arrow tower only approached the arrow tower after realizing that the situation was not right.
Seeing Wang Yu's methods, the maidservants 'eyes erupted with splendor as they shouted,"Young Master is invincible!"
Then, the sword in his hand became even more ferocious!
Wang Yu didn't stop either. He jumped into the night and attacked the enemy's men of sacrifice as soon as he saw them. He was no match for them.
Fifteen minutes later, the men of sacrifice were all eliminated. Before they could count their gains, they rushed to the next manor.
Speed was the most important thing in war. These villages should have communication methods. If they could not take them all down tonight, there would probably be more variables in the future.
Even if Wang Yu wasn't afraid of an enemy hidden in the dark, he had no choice but to consider Wang Yuyan and Madam Wang.
Therefore, in the few villages behind, Wang Yu fought with extra effort, not giving those men of sacrifice any chance of survival.
Early morning.
The morning sun had just risen, and the night's siege had already ended. A small group of maidservants were cleaning up the Verdant Cloud Villa, and counting their gains at the same time.
As for the other villages, there were naturally a few groups of maidservants who went to check them out. Wang Yu and the others did not have to worry about these.
After returning to the ship, Wang Yu and the others closed their eyes to rest, waiting for the maidservants to finish counting.
It wasn't until noon that the maidservants of each team finished counting their assets and returned to the ship.
"Furen, we found a total of three million strings of silver and five million taels of silver from the three villages.”After organizing the items, Xiao Ming began to report," 2,000 weapons, five crossbows. 35,000 dan of rice, 10,000 dan of wheat, and 5,000 dan of miscellaneous grains, totaling 50,000 jin. In addition, there were also the deeds of 1,000 shops and 50 courtyards, as well as some mysterious iron items.”
"Very good. You've done well." Madam Wang nodded. Last night, everyone did a good job, so this madam will reward you greatly. Yu 'er, you distribute it."
Wang Yu originally didn't want to care about these family matters, but since his name was called, he didn't avoid it. He nodded and said,"I've seen everyone's rewards in the past. This time, I won't treat everyone unfairly. For those who acted together with him last night, the squad leader would receive one thousand taels of silver and one high-tier martial art. The others will receive five hundred taels of silver and one Middle Power martial art. Those who sacrificed themselves would receive a compensation of eight hundred taels per person. If there were elderly or children in the family, the Wang family could take care of them until they reached adulthood or passed away. Those who stayed behind at Mantuo Villa would receive fifty taels of silver as a reward. Xiao Ming, you will arrange these things. Don't be careful and don't make any mistakes.”
"Please rest assured, Young Master Yu," Xiao Ming said respectfully,"I will definitely not let you down."”
"After the reward is given out, arrange for people to transport the money and food back to Mantuo Villa." Remember, you must be careful. These things are extremely sensitive. Don't let anyone catch you.”
No matter which dynasty or generation, the control of weapons was quite strict.
If the Song Dynasty discovered that he had hidden thousands of sets of weapons, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He did not want to fight with the Imperial Court at all.
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Ming nodded." Xiao Ming will definitely escort the things back personally."”
"In addition, when we return, ask Little Hong to arrange for people to take over those 1,000 shops.”Wang Yu continued.
"Yes, Young Master." Xiao Ming nodded.
"Alright, go back to work." Wang Yu waved his hand and sent him away.
For a time, only Wang Yu and the other two were left in the room.
"Brother, how is it?" Wang Yuyan smiled. Isn't it impressive?"
"Prestige?" Wang Yu shook his head." It's very boring!"
"Yu 'er doesn't like it?" Madam Wang frowned.
She saw that Wang Yu had finally cultivated martial arts and was quite powerful. Her original intention was to hand over the power in her hands to her son and slowly relinquish it to him.
Wang Yu nodded." Mother, why don't you handle these things in the future?" I'm not interested in these things. I just want to cultivate martial arts and live forever!”
"Immortality?" Wang Yuyan was extremely shocked." Brother, you're talking nonsense again. How can there be anyone in the world who can live forever?”
"Yes," said Madam Wang. Yu 'er, you're not young anymore. Why do you still believe in this? You should take charge of the Wang Clan now, then marry a few wives and concubines in a few years to continue the Wang Clan's line of descent.”
"Mother, why don't you believe me?”Wang Yu was helpless. Other people were fighting for power, but he had to push the power out." I have achieved my current achievements after cultivating for a few days. It's hard to say whether I can live forever in a few years."”
Hearing this, Wang Yuyan and Madam Wang were stunned.
Thinking of Wang Yu's various miraculous performances, a thought arose in their hearts-perhaps Wang Yu could really live forever!
P.S. At the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty, the annual tax was 160 million strings, equivalent to 160 million taels of silver. The Murongs wanted to rebel every day. Eight million taels of silver was considered normal, but others had accumulated it for dozens of generations.
