Chapter Seventy-Two: Investigation

Legend of Dong Zhuangzi that Yang Yuan is the first in the gun stick, but the generals of the Yang family know that not to mention the East Zhuangzi, Yang Yuan is not the first gun in the Yang Mansion, and the first gun stick in the Yang Mansion should be Lei Genghu, the head of the Yang family. said that Yang was the first outsider, and that was the head of the Lei Sect who let the grandfather of the member.

Lei Jiaotou and Yang Miaozhen fought, but Sanhe was stabbed in the throat by the headless gun in Yang Miaozhen's hand, and he couldn't eat for three days, so he could only drink porridge.

Yang Yuan looked outside, and he couldn't even play.

Yang Miaozhen was still thinking about investigating Chen Xian in his spare time when he practiced martial arts, and found a few people in the Yang family shop who had gone undercover in the Chen family shop to steal the craft, and after Chen Xian went to the new Zhuangzi, he returned to the apprentice of the Chen family shop to inquire.

The more she asked, the more confused she became.

Yang Yuanwai said that the Chen family shop, more than 30 apprentices, can easily produce more than 30 Tang knives in a month, and his Yang family shop also has more than 20 old craftsmen, but he can only produce five or six Tang knives a month, so he thinks that Chen Xian must have given him fake craftsmanship.

Yang Miaozhen called Yang Xiaoyi and several other apprentices who had worked in Chen's shop to ask, their method of working in Chen's shop is no different from the method of working in Yang's shop, and working in Chen's shop is easier than in Yang's shop, not only reading and reading in the morning, practicing military formations, learning guns and sticks, no need to do work, but also have a lunch break for half an hour at noon, only do one afternoon work, and they are not allowed to do it when it is dark, and they want to listen to Chen Xian's story.

This is to open a shop, it is simply not a proper business, but the blame is that the Chen family shop that is not doing a proper job is more than the Yang family shop that is dead and alive, and it is doing well, no wonder Yang Yuanwai will be suspicious.

Yang Miaozhen listened a lot, and began to wonder if this Chen Xian really knew what kind of demon magic he had.

She gradually put away her mindset of casual curiosity and began to get serious.

After interrogating Yang Xiaoyi, before dawn the next day, Yang Miaozhen took a few generals and took advantage of the night to sneak into a small hillside north of Chen Xian's small Zhuangzi.

Here you can clearly look inside and outside the small Zhuangzi, but the distance is a little far, and the view is not very real.

Seeing it with her own eyes, Yang Miaozhen was taken aback, this little Zhuangzi was so heavily defended.

Yang Anguo once invited the broken Han'er generals in the Jin army at a high price to teach their brothers and sisters the art of war, so although Yang Miaozhen has not really led troops to fight, he knows a little about the way to win on the battlefield.

The wooden deletion column diagonally inserted outside the Zhuangzi looks troublesome, but it is not difficult to deal with, as long as you push it under the deletion column with a big shield, or turn it over with a long fork, or cut it off by an armorer, it is not difficult to remove.

The trouble is the small Zhuangzi inside, which doesn't look big, but it is very tricky and vicious.

Zhuangzi takes the back wall of the house as the wall, up to more than two zhang (seven meters), in the middle of the wall there are dense, small inside and large shooting holes, the top of the wall is a sloping tile surface, it is difficult to stand firm, the other side of the roof, from the ground is nearly two zhang high (five meters), can not jump down.

According to the Yang family's craftsmen, there are very dense rafters buried under the tiles, and it is difficult to break the roof in a short time.

If you delay too long on the roof, the people on the roof will be shot by the towers on both sides and the crossbowmen in the courtyard.

However, if there were no four defensive towers at the four corners of Zhuangzi, this kind of wall would not be much more difficult to deal with than ordinary earthen walls.

The four defensive towers at the four corners of the Zhuangzi are the core of the Zhuangzi's defense.

These four towers are located at the four corners of Zhuangzi, and the tower as a whole protrudes out of the four corners of the Zhuangzi wall, and the tower is square, with a side length of four zhang (twelve meters) and a height of four zhang.

According to the craftsmen who repaired the tower, the walls of the tower were more than three feet thick, and the wood was made of bone, which was very strong.

The outside of the tower is smooth and vertical, impossible to climb, and the inside of the tower is hollow, and four layers of platforms are built with wooden planks, and there are many shooting holes on the outer wall of each platform, and hundreds of shooters can be arranged on the four floors of the platform.

Crossfire can be formed between these four towers, completely covering the four walls of Zhuangzi, and with these four towers, the four walls are simply a killing trap.

To take this Zhuangzi, the only way is to storm the tower, but the two sides of the tower without crossfire cover are only about 20 meters wide in total, up to four zhang (12 meters), and there are four layers of shooting holes in the middle.

Yang Miaozhen even saw from a distance that there were four winch-wound bed crossbows on the top floor of each tower, which made her feel terrified.

If she was just a little more serious before she came, now she has begun to doubt whether she can lay down this Zhuangzi.

Yang Miaozhen's subordinates can be sent to death casually only those five hundred cottage minions, although these people were coaxed and deceived by him to summon up some spirits, but they can't fight a tough battle at all, attacking such a Zhuangzi, killing dozens of people, this group of people's minds will immediately disperse, and it will be good to be able to maintain it without running at that time, let alone attack.

Yang Miaozhen felt that if she handed over this Zhuangzi to her and gave him three or four hundred defenders, even if there was an army of one or two thousand, she would be sure to hold it.

Soon, with a whistle, a group of people quickly rushed out of several rooms north of Zhuangzi, some of whom picked up spears leaning against the eaves, some of whom picked up shields on the shelves at the door, and some of whom carried strange things on their shoulders, and quickly stood up in a neat queue in the courtyard.

Subsequently, there were some strange and loud trumpet sounds faintly from Zhuangzi.

Soon, a dozen small queues trotted up, and they ran out of Zhuangzi, and in the open space between the Deletion Column and Zhuangzi, they ran around the outer wall of Zhuangzi.

Yang Miaozhen counted the number of people, and it was very good to count, these people were in a team of eleven people, there were a total of twenty-three squads, and there were only seven people in the twenty-third squad, a total of two hundred and forty-nine people, but nearly a hundred of them were short in stature, and they seemed to be children.

There are only a little more than 140 adults.

This number made Yang Miaozhen breathe a sigh of relief.

More than 20 teams ran up and pulled out more than 100 meters, they were not running slowly, but the team remained neat.

A burly man ran at the front, and Lei Jiaotou pointed at the person and said to Yang Miaozhen: "That person is Chen Xian." ”

The distance was too far to see clearly, but I just felt that his figure was burly and straight.

Chen Xian ran at the front, sometimes blowing a whistle, sometimes shouting a trumpet, too far away to hear what he was shouting.

The interior of the small village is divided into two halves by a row of zigzag houses, most of which have not been repaired, only a few brick walls have been erected, and it is surprising that these houses are luxuriously built of red bricks.

It is not difficult to see that the western half of Zhuangzi is the activity area of these young soldiers, while the east side of Zhuangzi is the activity area of the few farmers in Zhuangzi.
