Chapter 118: Hell on Earth

When Lu Peng led the team to pass by a village, the appearance of the villagers made everyone think that they had met a hungry ghost. Unkempt one by one. Clothes do not cover the body. Saying that they don't cover their bodies is a compliment to them. More precisely. A sack or a little bag of rotten straw is a very rich person. Each with big, godless eyes. Looking at this mighty division, he didn't hide or hide.

There's no need to hide, there's nothing left, and you still want to give up your life, you can take it if you want to.

When walking through a village. Lu Peng walked to a low thatched hut that was about to collapse. I think it's uninhabited. When you want to make it easier. But he saw a pile of wheat straw trembling under one of the earthen walls in the hut. Take a closer look at the time. But the daughters of the family are in the straw. All of them are defenseless. Snuggle up and keep warm in the middle of winter. Skeletons like skin and bones. looked at Lu Peng and other uninvited guests with godless eyes. Look at the water frozen into ice in half of a clay pot on a wooden shelf on the side. Lu Peng, these seven-foot men, couldn't help choking anymore. Lu Peng walked out of the hut. Silently took down a bag of grain from the baggage cart that followed. Carry it to the house of that family himself. Take a look at the left near. And he took off his coat. Cut a few portions with a knife. Send it to the women.

It's all like this along the way. Don't ask Lu Peng to order this time. Seeing such a tragic scene, Lu Peng's soldiers began to distribute the food they brought along the way and the clothes they wore to the people along the way. Slowly, the whole team began to wear short clothes. Some of them have lost their shoes.

Zhang Er, the captain of the team, gave the last shirt on his body to an old man, and when the "old man" kowtowed to him, he called him eldest brother, and when he asked, he knew that this person was younger than himself.

When this little brother grabbed Zhang Er's thigh and begged him to take him out of this hell on earth, Zhang Er cried, he was a soldier and couldn't take him with him, so he could only watch his desperate eyes and run back to his team.

When Lu Peng walked past him, Zhang Er plucked up his courage and stopped Lu Peng's war horse: "Lord, you were in that camp at that time, did the world you told us really exist?" ”

Lu Peng remembered the world he had depicted to everyone in Zhao Quan's camp, so he nodded firmly: "That world exists, but now we are still far away from here, and we need to work together to achieve it." ”

Zhang Er raised his face and asked again: "Then can we do something first?" ”

Lu Peng said firmly and loudly: "Although that world is far away from us, now, immediately, we are going to take the first step, that is, to break through the fortress of King Zhao Yan and free these slaves. Then he took a deep breath: "Remember, what we are going to do will be our first step, but as long as we take a step, then our steps will not stop until the day we realize our dreams, come on, follow me, let's fight for our dreams." ”

Zhang Er's nose suddenly became sore, and he suddenly wanted to cry, not because of the remoteness of the dream, not because of the difficulty of the road ahead, but because he knew why he was fighting, the result of the battle, and he felt that he was no longer alive in a mess, and his soul returned to his body again.

At noon, we didn't eat. That's because I don't want to eat. In the evening, I was reluctant to eat. By the next morning, there was nothing to eat. But all the soldiers were red-eyed and gritting their teeth. Dine with Duke Humphrey. Endure the cold. I don't even take a break when it's time to rest. Pushing the materials and baggage forward with all his might. I can't wait to go to the ancestral house of the Zhao family as soon as possible to eliminate harm for the people.

Hiding most of the first, Lu Peng only took a hundred guards and came to the door of the Zhao family, the Zhao family immediately closed the gate of the fort, and the figures began to appear on the fortress, holding knives and guns in their hands, and they were on full alert, more than thieves.

A thief can be reasonable, but a soldier has no reason to talk about, a bandit is like a comb, and a soldier is like a wash, and these soldiers are unreasonable.

A group of troops came to the Zhao family fortress, and the Zhao family compound lay on this land like a giant beast. The tall walls and the heavy, dark gates. It's like a wolf that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Quietly waiting for the flesh and blood to offer blood and life to him.

As soon as Lu Peng approached, the gong mountain immediately sounded above the fortress, and after a while, a team of people appeared on the fortress wall. Flags and flags on the tall walled wall. The soldiers of the Zhao family, who are vividly dressed and angry, and the long-term tenants with withered faces stand all over the wall. Pointing at Lu Peng, who was gradually approaching, and finding that it was an official army, the children of the Zhao family showed a kind of arrogance and contempt for everything.

The Zhao family compound has been continuously strengthened, expanded and improved for hundreds of years. It has become a real walled castle.

The perimeter of the fort is 3 miles long. The height of the city reached three zhang. The city is one foot wide. Under the female wall, there are dense offensive and defensive tools, which can really be described as an iron wall.

Not only that. The Zhao family also has their own independent blacksmith shed in their compound. Nominally, it was to build farm tools for the estate, etc. In fact, the main thing is to make your own weapons, bows, arrows, and armor.

The hundred-year-old clan of the Zhao family can really be said to be prosperous, and there are thousands of mouths in the near branches of the clan alone. There are also nearly 2,000 recruited farmers and long-term workers who take care of their homes all year round. The manor is not only piled up with hundreds of years of savings. The savings of grain and grass are even more numerous. Even if they are surrounded for three or five years, they don't worry about food and drink. It is really impregnable.

Looking at this tall and sturdy fortress, if you want to attack, you don't know how many brothers you will have to kill and injure. Therefore, Lu Peng still wants to come to a fraudulent city.
