Luochuan, a piece of newly cultivated fields, along the river, a tall windmill, a group of busy working people, a long-lost Xintianyou, everywhere is a thriving scene, harvest, has become the consensus of the people, stability, is no longer a luxury.

Zhang Huo was busy with his wife and children in the fields he had shared, and his father and mother were sitting on the ground, constantly pointing out the family's farm work, and scolding his son a few times from time to time, but in that scolding, he did not jump like thunder, but with infinite joy and pride.

His own son, who is out of town, is the village chief of this Zhangjiazhuang and the militia captain of this Zhangjiazhuang, what is that? That's an official, even the landlord of the village has to nod and bow a few words of compliment when he sees it, Zhang Yuanwai, what was it originally? That's the sky on everyone's heads, that's the Hades on everyone's heads, now look at it, every time I see the old and young masters in the village, I have to nod and bow in compliments, because what? Because we have the backing of King Chuang behind us.

A fast horse appeared at the end of the continent, and immediately a sweaty dark blue figure appeared, which was the characteristic clothing of the prison sergeant, which was the color of clothing that no one else was allowed to wear, so everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the dark blue knight.

"It is difficult to break into the king, the militia gathers, and it is difficult to break into the king, and the militia gathers." The war horses did not stop, and they were rushing in the smoke and dust, but the roar that had become hoarse shocked all the people who were still busy.

When Zhang Huo heard this, he immediately bowed to the dark blue figure, "The captain of the Zhangjiazhuang militia has received the order." It didn't matter whether the prison sergeant heard it or not, the dusty prison sergeant knight shouted and disappeared below the horizon, Zhang Huo immediately dropped the hoe in his hand and ran towards the road.

The wife grabbed her husband, her lips trembled, her eyes had tears faintly, and finally there was only one sentence: "Come back alive." ”

Zhang Huo nodded and continued to run.

The old father and mother grabbed him: "It is difficult to break the king, remember, if you don't rescue the king, you won't come back alive." ”

"Dad, don't worry."

The old lady was distressed, but she pulled her son to look at it again, as if she wanted to keep her son's voice and smile firmly in her heart, and then twisted her head to the side: "Go, we died in battle, we still have grandchildren." ”

Zhang Huo fell to his knees suddenly, kowtowed to his father and mother heavily, then stood up, ran up to the field without hesitation, and shouted loudly: "It is difficult to break into the king, and the militia will gather." ”

So, in the fields, in the hills, by the river, in all the places where people are busy, one by one, they did not hesitate to drop the work in their hands, rushed to the village, picked up the gun behind the door, put on the rattan armor, ran to the village square, and joined the brothers.

A man put on a rattan armor, picked up a gun and was about to go out, but the sick mother-in-law sat up and grabbed the corner of the man's clothes: "Dad, don't go, you go, you really have to have a good one, how should we live, there is no shortage of you in the battle array, don't go." ”

The man paused, but looked at his mother-in-law, looked at the baby who was still in swaddling clothes, but looked at the cave that was already alive, looked at the full rice tank, looked at the title deed that was carefully pasted and hung on the wall, and looked at the enshrined Chuang Wang Tablet, his eyes were immediately blood-red, "What do you know?" Who gives a good day? It's King Chuang, once King Chuang is killed, then our good days will come to an end, I'm going to go, for the happy days of your mother's life, I must rescue King Chuang with my brothers. After speaking, he turned around and left, but when he arrived at the door, he still stopped, turned around, and looked carefully and reluctantly at the one behind him, there was already an angry home, and his eyes couldn't help but be red.

The mother-in-law didn't care about anything at this time, dragged the sick body and rushed up, threw herself at his feet, and hugged the man's thigh: "Dad, you can't go, if you go, it's a death, without you, our mother and mother will have nothing." Looking at the man who became hesitant, the mother-in-law cried even more: "You are not the only one to save the king, just guard our mother." ”

The man hesitated, yes, to save the king, not to be one of himself, but this family needs itself, without his own pillar, then the two of them will really have nothing, look at the mother-in-law crying on the ground, and then look at the child in the swaddling clothes, the expression is gloomy.

At this time, just above the village field far away, the sound of shouting and standing in line to report the number came sonorously, and every sound hit the man's heart.

"No, I have to go, if it's all like me, then. Our king is in danger, and our base is finished. The man said firmly, and then looked at his mother-in-law's eyes and became gentle, and said softly: "If I die, marry a good family, but we must let our children live, take my surname, and leave incense for our old Zhang family." ”

"I won't let you go, I won't let you go." The wife hugged the man's thigh and cried and cried.

"If you let go, the military situation is urgent, and if you don't report it, I will be dealt with by military law." Anxiously struggling for a moment, looking at the square in the distance, you can imagine the anxious appearance of his robe.

"No, I'm not going to let go." The mother-in-law hugged the man's leg and didn't let go.

At this time, the man suddenly raised his foot, kicked his mother-in-law to the ground, looked at the mother-in-law who was full of surprise, stomped his foot, and rushed out of the courtyard gate.

On the wheat field, the militia team of the village has arrived, when the man came, Captain Zhang Huo had already announced the start of running, and saw the man who was in a hurry to come to Zhang Huo, Zhang Huo knew why, that aunt was famous for being selfish, originally thought that this man would not come, but he came, that was a good thing.

So he shouted loudly: "All Zhangjiazhuang is here, we run to the countryside to report, everyone pay attention, start running." ”

There are not many people, but the momentum is like a rainbow, the neat footsteps are in the complicated eyes of the villagers, and the mother-in-law is firmly away in the low cry, and on the main road, it merges into the militia of another village, and then more and more, more and more majestic.

"Li Village, my militia team is not lacking." Zhang Huo wiped the sweat on his face, and proudly announced loudly to the team in the neighboring village that the man of the Zhang family would hold his chest higher.

"Mine isn't bad either." Li Cun replied louder.

The captain of Wang Village was full of frustration, and did not answer, but shouted loudly to more than a dozen men behind him: "All *** spirit points, let's fight on the battlefield." ”

In a village next to Huanglong, on the wheat field and on the river beach, it was already densely packed with soldiers ready to go, and there were constant militiamen coming to report at various intersections.

In the middle of the village, a thatched hut was exceptionally quiet, Wu Tao stood in the middle of the house, his eyes were firmly fixed on the huge map of Luochuan and Huanglong on the wall, thinking about it, he drew it on the map with his hand, and then continued to ponder, Mr. Li was on the side, not talking, not disturbing, but anxious sweating profusely, fidgeting.

Outside the open door, loud assembly trumpets continued to sound, and bursts of singing that became more and more high-pitched and majestic gathered. "Report, Xiaolizhuang militia reported, thirty-seven people should come, thirty-seven people actually came, the report is complete, ask for formation."

"Report, Zhangzhuang militia squad reported, twenty-one people should come, twenty-one people actually came, and asked to return to the team."

"Report, the Wang's Den Militia reported, there should be thirty-three people, really—" The originally loud voice suddenly dimmed.

Immediately followed by the militia of the various Zhuangzi continued to report.

Mr. Li stretched his neck to look outside the door, stood up and said to Wu Tao: "Strategist, I see that the people are almost here, are you not waiting anymore?" Let's go, or something will go wrong. ”

Wu Tao tilted his head and listened to the outside, summed up the numbers he heard in his heart, and then said softly but resolutely: "Don't be busy, there are only less than 3,000 militiamen who come to report now, this can't form an absolute combat effectiveness, our war, the purpose is to settle the Yellow Dragon in a battle, and if it can't be a rout, then we will have endless troubles in the future." ”

"However, the situation is unclear where King Chuang is, and he is besieged by more than 20,000 coalition troops, if King Chuang makes a mistake, then we will be redeemed by death." Mr. Li stomped his feet repeatedly, and the sweat on his face continued to flow down like a river.

"Although there is no news from King Chuang, if King Chuang does not break through, it proves that it is the same as I thought, especially." Wu Tao bit his lip and said: "Especially since King Chuang has a thousand cavalry and three hundred spearmen around him, I dare to guarantee that King Chuang is foolproof." ”

"But, what if—"

"No case, if Dalang Zhu Tie can't protect the safety of King Chuang, then he is a wine bag and rice bag, I firmly believe in their strength."

Looking at Wu Tao, who was not in a hurry to send troops no matter what, Mr. Li could only stomp his feet, and then shouted to the herald standing outside the door and constantly probing his brain into the house: "What do you see, why are you so slow when you don't go on the road to see those damn militiamen?" Go and urge them, if they are not notified before sunset, then my Li family will increase their rent, and I will have to get rid of people. ”

The herald shrunk his neck and quickly ran out, this was already the fifth herald to be scolded away.

Wu Tao saw that Mr. Li was in a hurry, so he took his hand to the map, pointed to the small village where Lu Shi was surrounded and said: "Mr. Li, you see, although this small village is dilapidated, it is only a hundred miles away from us, and the terrain of that small village is also very conducive to defense. ”

Mr. Li looked at the map and couldn't help nodding, as soon as King Chuang entered Huanglong, Wu Tao dispatched troops and gathered all the entire Luochuan soldiers in this small village close to the junction of Huanglong, and waited for the battle, just to be prepared for the unexpected, and now it seems that this is used.

At the same time, he also firmly believed in Wu Tao's analysis, so his heart fell to the ground slightly, but after a while, he paced anxiously again, and once again scolded a herald to go out to urge people.

Time is boiling people, slowly passing, the sun is slowly approaching the side of the mountain, and the sound of the report is gradually becoming scarce, Wu Tao looked at the daylight outside the door at this time, and called a herald, "Go and ask the Chinese army, how many militiamen will be gathered?" ”

Before the herald could go out, the Chinese army hurriedly ran into the house, and did not care about the salute, and reported loudly: "Qiqi military division, the soldiers and spearmen have already gathered, and the militia has also gathered 5,000, please give the order to attack immediately." When he said this, one foot was already backwards, as long as Wu Tao gave an order, he would attack immediately.

Wu Tao's chest straightened, and he ordered loudly: "All pay attention, that's all for the militia to attack, don't come again." ”

"Yes."

"Tell the whole army to have a meal, rest for two shifts, and then march to Huanglong overnight."
