Chapter 35: The Beginning of the War
Crying and begging for collection, to comfort my hard work, please don't really let me run naked, hehehe)
As soon as he heard the gong on the city wall, the people in the courtyard immediately panicked, and Lu Shi's heart sank, what should have come is still coming, and a vicious battle is inevitable.
Calm down, turned to the somewhat panicked crowd and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, this is just the nearest few landlords and townsmen, not the official army to attack, we have a tall fortress wall to rely on, there are five hundred Woniu Mountain strong brothers as the main force, we have absolute certainty to annihilate the incoming enemy, everyone don't run around, everything is in accordance with Zhao Dahai's command." β
As soon as Lu Shi shouted like this, everyone immediately felt that they had the backbone, and the emotional order slowly recovered.
"How about the Great Celestial Star Master, please assign people and horses, and all of them go to the city to launch an all-out defense?" The Heavenly Star immediately bowed his hand to Lu Shi and said, "Mr. Zun is dispatched, we will go now." He beckoned his men in the square and strode towards the fortress wall.
Lu Shi arched his hand towards Zhao Dahai and said: "Brother Zhao, here you will be dispatched from inside and outside to take care of the villagers, appease the villagers, sort out the materials, cook and boil water." β
"Don't worry, brother, I'll leave it to me here." Zhao Dahai was not hypocritical, and replied loudly.
"Then everything here will be entrusted to the brothers, and I will go to the city to help the Tianxing brothers defend against the enemy."
Zhao Dahai was shocked when he heard this, Lu Shi was a literati, how could he see the battle array, he grabbed it at that time, although he was only holding a false position of a hundred households, but he only had a brave and ruthless strength, and he didn't know anything about military command, and he was not as good as Lu Shi in command and dispatch, so he opened his mouth at the moment, and finally stomped his foot and shook Lu Shi's hand and said: "Brother be careful." β
Lu Shizhan smiled and said: "When it comes to fighting, I may not be under you, it may not be possible to kill the enemy, but it is more than enough to protect myself, my brother can rest assured." Without further ado, he hurried towards the city wall.
On the city wall, the city wall has been quiet under the dispatch of Guo Tianxing, Guo Tianxing saw Lu Shi coming, hurriedly gave up a place around him, waited for Lu Shi to stand firm, pointed to the outside of the city and said: "Sir, just now just a dozen horseback townsmen appeared, and then saw that we had occupied the fortress, so they beat their horses and turned back, thinking that the next moment it should be a large group of people and horses." β
Lu Shi nodded, he had already heard Zhao Dahai say that the Chen family soldiers were strong and strong, and it seemed that there was going to be a fierce battle this time.
But the Zhangjiabao Fort wall is tall, not losing the county, but the scale is much smaller, and there are 500 people on their side who should defend it, but they can't win by blindly defending, and they thought about it: "The big boss, now we are just blindly defending here, but it is not a way, I don't know when the reinforcements on the cottage will arrive?" β
Guo Tianxing looked at the sky, and then calculated and said: "Sixty miles back and forth, now the person I sent to report should have just arrived at the cottage, and it will take time to straighten out the people, horses, sabers and guns, and it will take two hours to get here." β
"That means you won't be there until the evening?" Passing frowned.
"It's already fast." Guo Tianxing is very proud to arrive.
Lu Shi was angry, it took four hours for only thirty miles, not counting the two hours for straightening out people's sabers and guns, which was too procrastinating.
I can't expect them to join the defense of the city, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my head, yes, why not come and join the outside? So he hurriedly grabbed Guo Tianxing and said: "The big boss, I have a way to break the enemy, and I need the arrangement of the big boss." β
Guo Tianxing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Sir, if there is any way to say it quickly, I will obey Guo Tianxing's words." β
Lu Shi was not verbose, and said at the moment: "Please find a word to give it quickly, and immediately go out of the fort to greet the brothers who come to help, and tell them that there are many patrols along the way to block the news, and the army should not be fanfare, be sure to hide its figure, and then when it is close to the battlefield, find a place to hide, and when it is night, see us raise fire in the city, light more torches and drum loudly, and we will come to destroy this Chen Jiayong." β
Guo Tianxing heard this, patted his thigh at that time, and praised Mr. for his clever plan, and he did not slack off at the moment, and hurriedly called a shrewd and capable little leader, according to Lu Shi's instructions, the little leader did not dare to slack off, and immediately beat his horse and galloped out of Zhangjiabao and left.
With this killer feature, Lu Shifang was relieved, so he asked, "How are the offensive and defensive equipment in the city prepared?" Is it still sufficient? β
"Sir, please see, this Zhangjiabao is really bloody, rolling wood and stones are readily available, most of them are official and military standard equipment, if it weren't for Mr. 's strategy, we would be four thousand minions going into battle together, and we couldn't gnaw this bone. It's good, it's all cheaper for us, hahahaha. He burst into laughter.
Lu Shixin said, isn't this due to those guards?
Following the stars to check along the city wall, and arranged the tasks of each section of the city wall, and when everything was ready, everyone stood solemnly at the head of the city and waited for the upcoming fierce battle. For a while, the city was quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to the direction of the dozens of war horses galloping back, and the air was solemn.
There was a rumbling footstep between heaven and earth, from small to large, and a big red flag appeared in the horizon first, and a black Chen character on the flag stretched in the autumn wind
"It's comingβ" Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief with Guo Tianxing, waiting for the unpredictable danger to come was even more depressing, but it was reassuring to see the danger.
Under the blood-red banner that symbolizes the strength of the Chen family, slowly there are rows of cavalry, and after the cavalry are rows and rows of Zhuang Ding, the swords and guns are all ready, the war horses are fierce and solemn, and there are even more hideous faces on the horses, all of which see through the upcoming battle is endless.
Indeed, this time the Chen family came to the aid with an unending fighting spirit.
It turned out that when the Chen family saw the wolf smoke burning in Zhangjiabao, the head of the Chen family, as the head of the family, changed color.
The Zhang family has always been powerful, and in this area is also hand and eye, even the pole is easy to provoke, and the fortress is tall and strong, at this time, it is suddenly ignited, it can be seen how serious the matter is, and he hurriedly went up to the watchtower to watch carefully.
Now although the landlords of the villages have agreed to help each other, everyone will be rewarded for their efforts, although it is not face-to-face, but there are still some past intersections behind the scenes. Therefore, each village can solve it by itself, and it will not ignite the beacon fire until it is absolutely necessary. It seems that the old in-laws are really in big trouble today.
Hurriedly got off the watchtower, Chen Yuanwai instructed a deacon's children to immediately summon the heads of the houses to come to the ancestral hall to discuss, and at the same time let people ring the gong to summon the children of the clan to gather, preparing to send reinforcements as soon as they agreed.
After a while, the gong mountain in the village sounded, and immediately the whole village was full of people, boiling and boiling in the sky. As soon as the children of the Chen family heard the sound of the gong, they knew where they needed to fight, and everyone picked up their weapons and ran to the square in front of the ancestral hall to gather.
The first thing for the survival of the big family is unity, the muzzle of the gun is unanimous with the outside world, everything related to the survival of the clan is rich and powerful, and must not slack off, if you slack off, don't say that the clan rules are strict, that is, the clan is down, then there will be no good fruit to eat.
Hearing the summons, the head of the house hurriedly entered the ancestral hall to meet the old man and the foreign patriarch, ask the reason, and receive the task.
Chen Yuanwai was deeply satisfied when he saw that everyone had arrived to receive the order in a short time, and he didn't wait for everyone to sit down and said: "Everyone has also seen that the Zhang family's in-laws have lit a beacon fire to ask for help, and there must be a large number of bandits attacking." I won't say much about it, this time we must come up with all our energy to rescue our in-laws, as long as we solve the crisis of my uncle's family this time, then my uncle's family will look at the strength of our family differently, and we will be more concerned about our family's affairs. Then we will be able to do whatever we want on this land in the future. Okay, let's not talk too much, this time the boss of the long house will be the leader, and the other rooms will gather all the children who dare to fight who can hold knives and guns, and immediately go to Zhang's house to rescue. β
"The patriarch's grandfather relaxed, thinking that it was just a few thieves, and it was a disaster in the Zhang family, but it was not a piece of cake for our Chen family? watched his grandson lead the people and show his face in front of the in-laws. The young and vigorous patriarch Changsun strode forward and said with confidence.
In recent years, the Chen family's external arms fights have been led by this rising star Changfang Chang Sun, and they have never disappointed everyone, as if they are already the leaders of the rising stars. So this time is no exception, it is this eldest grandson who leads the team.
Chen Yuanwai was very satisfied with his grandson's self-confidence, but he still twisted his beard and nodded with a smile and admonished: "My grandson should not underestimate the enemy, even if he lights the wolf smoke, he must be a thief in his in-law's family, or he can't save face and ask for help, it's better to be careful." β
"Grandpa's lesson is that grandchildren must be careful." The eldest grandson hurriedly restrained his arrogance and conceit, although his tone was respectful, he could not hide the arrogance in his eyes.
"Okay, there's nothing to do, go ahead, tell the Zhang family's in-laws, wait for the killing of the thieves, and you will definitely invite me to drink wine and eat meat, hahahaha."
"My grandson wrote it down, and I'll go." The head of the long house, Sun Shili, left.
When I got outside, I saw that hundreds of children of the Chen family were standing according to the branches of each room, and after explaining a few words, he turned over and got on the horse, shouted and led the horse team to Zhangjiabao in the east. The whole team is well organized and hierarchical. These are all elite soldiers who have been trained in hundreds of years of ethnic fighting, and their strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
When the Chen family and grandson led a team of more than 80 horses to jog for about three miles, they almost let themselves fall off the horse when they came forward to bring back the news.
Zhangjiabao is broken, and the tall fort wall is already a pole flag.
What's going on? Is the fortress broken? The Zhang family's compound must not last long, then the good grandson of the Zhang family must have no good end, because although he dotes on the cousin who is not angry, he also knows the virtue of his cousin, if it falls into the hands of those poles, it is nothing else, or those homeless people will tear him apart.
"Hurry up, speed up, you must rescue the nephew of the Zhang family before the Zhang family's mansion is broken" The Chen family's grandson is really in a hurry, his aunt is just this one baby, and she must not miss it.
A group of Chen family disciples suddenly agreed, and nearly 100 cavalry galloped wildly, killing Zhangjiabao, but they didn't know that the cavalry could not directly attack the city, but this could not take care of that much, and the remaining foot soldiers also accelerated their pace.
The eldest grandson beat the horse and galloped wildly, and said with hatred: "Dog thief, look at how my Chen family killed you, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were all over the field." At the same time, I was also a little happy in my heart, revenge is one thing, if the first war exterminated these poles, then report to the county, there is no shortage of an official title.
