Chapter 105: The Ferry Changes
Liu Lao Wu was in charge of guarding the ferry construction site tonight.
It is said that it is to guard the ferry construction site, but in fact, it is not right, it is to take care of the construction site next to the ferry tidal flat.
This is the net worth and life of the eighty-seven old brothers who retired to the Eastern Capital.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhonghan and several people exchanged the land with others, which was only a dozen acres, and after everyone knew about it, they all donated good land to replace these tidal flats with others.
This area has formed a construction site comparable to that of a market town.
The general said that in the future, this is likely to be comparable to the prosperity of Nanshi, and it is also the foundation of the ancestral industry that everyone can pass on.
In the past few days, everyone has heard about the battle between the general and the left-behind mansion, and they are worried that someone will destroy it, so Zhao Zhonghan asked the old brother who was the marquis of Wu to take the lead, and gathered eighty-seven old brothers to form a patrol team, and there were about fifteen people to take care of the construction site here every night.
There is no need to worry about the ferry, and the nobles do not have to worry about the guards.
Liu Lao Wu is not a martial marquis, and has always worked as a coolie at the dock.
Until the general arrived in the Eastern Capital, Liu Lao Wu entered the beef jerky workshop.
In fact, Liu Laowu's skills are not worse than Zhao Zhonghan, but his luck in the Western Regions was not as good as Zhao Zhonghan's in those years, and he never had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Therefore, in their group, the leader is Liu Lao Wu.
The time has passed, and it is a dark night again, and Liu Lao Wu is very cautious.
In winter, the construction site is full of wood, and the most afraid of fire.
The material storage of the entire construction site is completely planned by the master, and the living area of the craftsman and the material storage area are completely separated.
There is no need to worry about the living quarters of the craftsmen, otherwise they will not be able to take care of the fifteen of them, and the focus is on taking care of the material storage area.
The main material storage area is set up on the bank of Luoshui, saying that in case of an accident, you can get water nearby to extinguish the fire......
"Fifth brother, go to the wooden house to warm up, your hands are stiff, you really want to come to someone, you can't even hold a knife steadily."
It was indeed very cold, and the face was sore from the wind. One by one, they were wrapped in fur brought back from the Western Regions, wrapped like bears.
"I don't know what's going on these days? It's only been a few good days? Can't stand the suffering? I don't know what's going on these days? ”
"Have you forgotten your early experiences in Anthy? Night raids don't matter whether it's warm or cold! All cheer up Lao Tzu, if there is a loss of materials, three or five months of beef jerky will not be able to earn! ”
It's been almost two years since I returned to Dongdu, and everyone knows what Li Zhen is.
It turned out that he was working as a coolie at the dock, and he saw Li Zhen kill people and set fires a lot.
These days, the Lord and the things left behind, maybe Li Zhen's mad dog will bite indiscriminately. There must not be a little slackness at this time.
The area that needs to be guarded is too large, and the fifteen people are not in a team, but in three teams, except for Luoshui, the other sides are in a team, patrolling almost day and night.
The general has designed a stronghold wooden house, or a two-story kind, and there is a watchtower on the top floor.
It's a pity that it may be possible during the day, but on this dark night, nothing can be seen in the stronghold.
Liu Lao Wu didn't dare to relax.
In fact, these days, from the general to the guard, no one on their night patrol dare not sleep, at most, they pass by the stronghold and enter the wooden house to warm up a little.
Liu Laowu's team has inspected the third circle and has not entered the wooden house......
Liu Lao Wu always felt that he would not be calm tonight, and he felt uneasy, a little bit like he was in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in his early years.
"I feel like I'm going to have something to do tonight, warm my hands, don't be stiff!"
They've all been in Anthy and know how to deal with it.
Passing by the wooden house again, the hour was about the right time.
The briquette stove in the wooden house was very bright, and it was very warm when you looked inside from the lookout.
According to the law, they should have gone in to warm up for a quarter of an hour at this time, after all, they had already made three rounds.
Several brothers looked at Liu Lao Wu, and they didn't want to move... ~
"Or ......"
Liu Lao Wu just wanted to say that he wanted to stop for a while, but his eyes glanced at the riverbank......
That'...... "Made!" Walk the water! ”
Liu Lao Wu didn't have time to greet his brothers, so he didn't continue, he raised his legs and ran towards that little light.
The brothers were puzzled, and then turned their heads to see that the material storage place next to the river bank was already on fire at this time.
"Enemy attack!"
Opened his mouth and shouted directly about the enemy attack.
Come to think of it, on this winter night, there is a fire next to the riverbank, and there is no other possibility than someone to break it.
Without hesitation, a few people ran after Liu Lao Wu, shouting as they ran: "Enemy attack!" The riverbank is out of the water! ”
In the middle of the night, on the empty construction site of the ferry outside the city, the sound traveled far away.
Not only their group of patrolmen, but also the artisan living quarters can be heard.
Sure enough, not long after these few shouted the enemy attack, the entire guard team ran and assembled on the riverbank.
The waist knife has been withdrawn, and at this time, I don't care if my hand is stiff.
Liu Lao Wu had already reached the riverbank, and although the fire was ignited, it was not big. But Liu Lao Wu saw a figure, about a dozen people, all of whom began to light torches and blatantly threw them into the storage place of materials......
"Where did the thief come from? Look for death! ”
Liu Lao Wu didn't care about extinguishing the fire first, and he couldn't take care of it, although he could lift water from the Luoshui River in a dozen steps, and he had buckets ready.
However, Liu Lao Wu still rushed towards the dozen or so people first. He had to stop the thieves from setting fires first......
Liu Lao Wu is completely a killer move on the battlefield, crisp, fierce, direct, and without fancy posture.
With a "choking" sound, Liu Lao Wu's waist knife was blocked.
The other party is also a good hand! Liu Lao Wu's heart tightened... I'm about to rush in desperately, even if it's death, I have to take one of them!
By this time the footsteps were near, and the brothers were already in place.
Reflecting the firelight, Liu Lao Wu saw a sword stabbed straight into his chest......
"Array!"
Liu Lao Wu turned over, a lazy donkey rolled, shouting while rolling.
I'm afraid it's a ranger, and it's invincible if it's not a military formation.
Liu Lao Wu got up, quickly grabbed the strong crossbow in his hand from behind, and wound it while retreating.
They are all old brothers for many years, with tacit understanding, they have stood firm again in Liu Lao Wu, and the military formation has been formed.
There was no need to order, at the first time, the strong crossbows of the two formations of fifteen people had already been fired......
"Kill!"
Liu Lao Wu roared, it was really an angry roar.
Seeing that the scattered fires have become bigger and bigger, they are about to form a piece. At this time, there is no way to put out the fire, and these thieves must be taken down first.
It's all money! It is the material that will be used to advance the construction of the supporting facilities for the ferry for the eighty-seven old brothers.
Watching the burn like this, Liu Lao Wu was really angry.
After the soldiers lined up, the rangers were irresistible even if they were skilled.
The more than 10 people who attacked and ignited the materials at night were surrounded by Liu Lao's fifty-five people on three sides, and the strong crossbow was fired continuously, gradually squeezing towards Luoshui.
"Kill!"
Shouting again, the siege was getting closer, and the rangers' nimble steps had little room to maneuver unless they jumped into the river.
It's winter, and no one knows how cold the river is.
At this time, Liu Lao Wu vaguely saw that there seemed to be a shadow in Luoshui through the firelight......
"The thief has a lead! Kill! ”
It is already close, and the thief must not be allowed to escape.
Liu Lao Wu took the lead, pulled out his waist knife again, and directly killed the thieves......
A team of fifteen people is almost one-on-one with the thieves......
In the end, it is the old brother who has cooperated for many years, and after killing among the thieves, he still maintains the offensive method of three people in a team.
At the same time, one team had already crossed the fighting zone and killed directly on the riverbank.
The shadows of the boats in the Luoshui River became more and more visible in the light of the firelight.
The crossbow was wound several times in a row, and it was so dark that it was "poof" towards the captain of the ship...... "poof...... Ah......h
Finally heard the voice of anticipation.
