vs 25 To the earth
Zhou Tong led him to the village, and said: "It's just that the house in the middle is quite neat, Mr. will be one night, and there should be a room to live in tomorrow." ”
Cao Chuan smiled and chose a room that was not so dilapidated to go in and rest. Look at the simple bamboo bed and the bed that doesn't seem to be very clean in the room, find a sheet from the ring and spread it, and then let go of the bones. It's not easy to ride a sliding pole, especially after sitting on a forty-mile mountain road in one go.
After resting in bed for two hours, it was dark before going out, and the courtyard was already full of people, and there were pieces of meat rolling in a few large pots. Seeing Cao Chuan come out, Zhou Tong hurriedly came over with a bowl of local brew: "The rule set by the elders is to drink three bowls before going into battle, and then come back alive, and then drink it openly, and Mr. will also do a bowl." ”
Cao Chuan has never drunk much of the wine here, usually drinking tea, he always feels that these local brews have a strange taste, and the degree is not enough. But this will not be helped, in the crowd watching, if you don't drink, you will have no reputation.
Amid the shouts and cheers of everyone around, someone drained the bowl of wine in one go.
In fact, these people know far more about himself than Cao Chuan imagined, and in a closed group, anything will spread out at a very fast speed, let alone characters in stories like Cao Daochang.
As for the rumbling sound in the back mountain a few days ago, and even today's whole group going down the mountain, everyone also knows it, but because of the strict orders of the big boss, it is not easy to talk about it publicly.
Seeing Cao Chuan drinking a big drink, Second Master Chen was also very happy, and after making a bowl together, he came to the middle of the field and loudly expressed his gratitude for giving a knife, and he would definitely cut off the dog heads of the Bai brothers tomorrow to give wine to Mr.
Next, Chen had to use the newly arrived knife to demonstrate a set of battle eight-way knife techniques to everyone, and Zhou Tong was also helpless, so Chen Huoding shouted in a cheer, and played enough routines, so he proudly put the knife back to the sheath.
Finally, it was Zhou Da's turn to speak, the big leader still has a level, and said that now there is Mr. Cao, this is the blessing of everyone in the previous life, and the screen village can usher in a big development, so everyone must gather their will, follow the boss, seize the opportunity, take off, and drink everyone to do another bowl......
After the oath meeting, the whole group started to eat, and today there is no limit, and the meat and bone sticks are full of brown rice. Cao Chuan ate a few bites casually and went to sleep, and after a night, the dog in the village barked before dawn, and when he washed up and came out for breakfast, most of the people were already preparing their weapons.
As soon as the sky was bright, the lord of Zhou Dazhai jumped on the table and shouted: "The dogs of Baizhuang have been fighting with the brothers for many years, and the two are as deep as the sea, and today we have to make a decision." If you don't work hard today, don't blame me Zhou Tong for turning his face, and when this stake is pulled out, the whole gang will be happy for three days in the 'butcher shop' in Lin'an County, and the silver treasury will come out, and Lao Tzu will not be able to live! ”
More than two hundred lean men roared at the same time, and all their swords, axes, and spears were raised. Zhou Tong looked around, and with a wave of his hand, Chen Erye had already turned into a special policeman, wearing an anti-stabbing suit, and a pig-killing knife at his waist. And Cao Dazhenren calmly drank the meat porridge on the side, and waited until he gnawed another pig bone, then Shi Shiran sat on the sliding rod and left......
The number of people in the rear team is also quite large, in addition to the manpower of dozens of screen villages, there is also a vote of Hengtang villagers who are carrying burdens, carrying a lot of things in bits and pieces, this is a logistics force.
Not long after going out, the news came from the front, and the outpost that the Bai family had placed here had been killed, and after a while, it should be known that the screen village brigade was coming, and Zhou Tong asked the rear team to go faster and keep up with the tail of the big team.
Cao Chuan didn't interject, and the rear team accelerated forward after Chu Jianli shouted a few times, and after a while, he saw several corpses on the side of the road. Four or five bodies of people dressed in homespun cloth were lying on their backs or on their backs, blood stains and weapons were taken away from the ground, and the corpses were left on the side of the road, and no one looked at them.
People are so wonderful, the last time I saw the corpse and still vomited, today there is no big reaction.
Cao Chuan knew what he was going to do next, from the time he saw the two corpses to the time he went to Thailand, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, and he also knew that there would be no shortage of shootings in the future. Since you can't hide, you have to face it, in fact, it's not difficult, take a look at the environment in which these people live in the Ming Dynasty, put yourself in your shoes, and think about it, there is nothing you can't think about.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, the team left the official road and went north along a dirt road, surrounded by lush miscellaneous mountains and forests.
Baizhuang faces south and back to north, built by the mountain, and the scale is not small. The foundation rests on a stone platform, much higher than the ground, and there is a four-meter-high stone wall on the periphery, which is almost three and a half stories high from the top of the wall to the level of the ground.
What's even more vicious is the road in and out of Zhuangzi, a stone path from east to west, gradually rising, to the entrance of the village only to turn a small bend, connected to the main gate.
In other words, if you go a few steps forward from the gate of Baizhuang, you have to turn left and walk down a gradually descending stone path to the flat ground.
After Cao Chuan glanced at it, he understood why Zhou Tong had repeatedly failed to talk to the Hu family, this kind of terrain was difficult to capture unless he took people's lives to fill in the trench first.
At this time, the gable wall was already full of figures, and the people and horses of the screen village had also set up a posture below, and the two sides were sixty or seventy meters apart, shouting and scolding each other.
Seeing the arrival of the logistics brigade, Zhou Tong and a few people hurriedly greeted him, Chu Jianli waved his hand to direct the people to move forward, and a few people who carried the burden began to distribute bamboo tubes and dry food to the team.
This side began to sit on the ground to eat and drink, the scolding paused, and the people on the wall were also sparse a lot, and it seemed that the opposite side was also in a hurry to eat a lunch.
Zhou Tong led Cao Chuan forward, walked to the front row of the team, pointed to Bai Zhuang and said: "Sir, look, this stone foundation with the gable is more than three feet old, and there is no way to go hard. If you want to enter the village, you can only attack along the stone road, and you will be hit by the stone ash bottle at the head of the wall along the way, and the more you go up, the more dangerous it is, and it is useless to fall down and not die. ”
"I think we have bows and arrows too, right? Can you shoot at each other? ”
Zhou Tong smiled bitterly: "There is a lot of humidity in this mountain, and the strong bow can't be used at all, and I can't afford to raise it." There are a few bamboo bows that are used to shoot rabbits, and they can't help. This white village took advantage of it, and condescended from the wall to hurt people, and the brothers could only suffer hard. ”
Cao Chuan nodded: "I'm afraid that this Zhuangzi will also be difficult for the official army." ”
Zhou Tong heyed: "If Mr. is not there, the officials and soldiers will have to break their heads and bleed, Mr. saw the narrow bend in front of the Zhuang Gate, which is used to prevent the big wood from hitting the door. ”
"Well, no...... Cough...... Oh yes, where's my location? ”
