Chapter 077: The Xie Family's Fortifications
Next, it's time to hand over the attribute pill to Zhan Bird.
Pushing the door out of the house, I saw that there were people constantly coming in and out, all kinds of messy buckets, vegetable oil, bamboo poles, Xie Zuo even saw two family members struggling to hold the huge bronze kettle, and they were moving out, and they didn't know what this thing could do.
Xie Zuo casually called a family member: "Where is Deacon Zhan?" ”
"He and Brother Tsing Yi went to the back mountain to arrange defense!"
Xie Zuo didn't dare to delay, there were still about a few hours before dark, and the time was already quite urgent.
Running all the way to the back mountain, as soon as he arrived at the edge of the trail up the mountain, he saw Zhan Bird leaning against a big mountain rock, anxiously talking to Xie Qingyi.
When he came closer, Zhan Yu looked up and saw Xie Zuo, and hurriedly jumped off the stone:
"The young master came just in time, and his subordinates are persuading Tsing Yi to lead a team of people to guard the intersection of the mountain here, so as to prevent thieves from coming down from the top of the mountain and sneaking up from behind. However, Tsing Yi is reluctant to leave the young master, and asks the young master to persuade Tsing Yi, after all, you also know that there is a shortage of people in the house, and there are fewer people who can control the public. ”
Xie Qingyi's face was full of grievances, and his big eyes were full of reluctance: "Young master, I am your personal scholar, I am where you are, I want to protect you thoroughly!" Brother Zhan asked me to bring someone to guard this place...... You also know, I have never led a team, if something goes wrong, how can I explain to you and my father! ”
Following the direction of Zhan Bird's finger, Xie Zuo looked back. There is a cliff protruding from the mountain wall in the back mountain, which resembles an eagle's beak, and directly below the eagle's beak happens to be the highest roof of the main house of the Xie family's compound. Xie Zuoyu remembered that when he first crossed the building, he was sitting on the eaves of that house and felt sorry for himself, but he was so frightened that he fell off the roof by the thieves who roped down from the top of the cliff, and he was able to start the journey of the system.
Xie Zuo waved his hand: "Brother Zhan doesn't need to worry about this, there are better candidates for the younger brother to guard this place." The younger brother is here mainly for the sake of his brother. ”
"My business? What can a subordinate do? Zhan Bird was very surprised, he really didn't understand what he could do, and he didn't even pay attention to what Xie Zuo said about other candidates.
Xie Zuo took out the mutilated attribute pill from his arms and sighed lightly:
"Brother Zhan, adversity sees the truth, and the younger brother will not hide it from you, this pill was given by a master when the younger brother was a child, and it has the effect of cutting the marrow of the I Ching. Just take this medicine and you will see an immediate effect. Now that the enemy is present, please take this medicine quickly Brother Zhan, this battle will depend on Brother Zhan's divine might! ”
Zhan Yu was full of suspicion, and reached out to take the black pill. Unlike most of the foolish people and foolish women in this era who have never even gone out of the door, Zhan Yu traveled thousands of miles and had a rich experience before arriving at Xie Mansion. Moreover, most of the men who fought on the battlefield only believed in the swords and guns in their hands, and they had never been very interested in these Shinto things.
However, Xie Zuo is his own young master after all, no matter from which angle, he can't find a reason to harm himself. Since it is the young master's kindness, it is nothing to be reluctant to embarrass it under the enthusiasm, it is nothing more than a pill, with the stomach and intestines he chewed alive on the battlefield, as long as it is not poison, it is estimated that there will be no major incident, and it will not live up to the young master's wishes.
The pill was delivered to his mouth, and he inadvertently glanced at Xie Qingyi on the side, seeing that he was staring at the pill in his hand with a pair of eyes, his Adam's apple squirming up and down, and he looked salivating, and couldn't help but be a little curious: Is there really such a thing as a miracle medicine in the world?
The pill melted in its mouth, and then turned into a stream of heat that flowed to the limbs. However, apart from the heat, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it. Shaking his head, Zhan Yu no longer dwelled on this matter, adhering to the obligation of loyalty, reported to Xie Zuo on the defense arrangements:
"Generally speaking, the garrison is divided into two parts, namely the fortifications and the defense personnel. There are not many people in the house, and the subordinates will be trained young and strong, according to a team of five people, divided into five teams from A to E. At present, the five teams are only basically familiar with the queue and can understand simple orders, which is barely enough. The subordinates arranged for teams A, B and C to dig and set up a pit outside the door......"
"Trap?" When Xie Zuo heard this, he couldn't help but interject excitedly: "Is it the kind of thing that is full of sharp blades underneath and covered by thin mats on the top, and as soon as the enemy arrives, they fall into the pit one after another, and die of rotting intestines?" ”
The corners of Zhan Bird's eyes twitched unnaturally: "Young Master, what you said is a horse trap, if there are enough people, it will take about two days to arrange it." Moreover, according to the reconnaissance, the enemy has neither war horses nor heavy armor, and even if a horse trap is set up, the effect may not be great. ”
"Oh, Brother Zhan, go on!" Xie Zuo knew that he had made a fuss, but it was not embarrassing. After all, he is a layman, and those who don't know are not guilty!
"The front door is set up in a trap not to cause much damage, but to distract the enemy's forces. Since there is no other entrance and exit in the house except for the main entrance, as long as you hold the back mountain path, you don't need to worry about the enemy on your back, and the outer defense is 70% certain. ”
Speaking of this, Zhan Yu glanced at Xie Zuo, Xie Zuo understood, and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhan is relieved, it is a matter of the life of the younger brother, and it will never be regarded as a joke, the younger brother can pack the ticket, and this place must be foolproof."
This is not arrogant talk, Xie Zuo is planning to summon a back-up warrior to guard this place. A rugged mountain road that only allows two people to walk in parallel, guarded by well-trained warriors, is there a need to worry that it will not be able to hold it? Not to mention the objective conditions, with the strong combat power that dares to face the cavalry, even if it is a regular army, there is no fear at all, let alone just some rabble bandits.
However, because of the uncertainty of the summoning method, and the fact that it is really inconvenient to show the back warriors, it is really difficult to explain that Xie Zuo wants to put this group of powerful combat power in the mansion. But the back mountain trail is far away from the house gate, so you don't have to worry about being exposed, so it is naturally suitable. Therefore, even if Zhan Bird doesn't mention it, Xie Zuo will take the initiative to ask to guard this place.
Of course, Xie Zuo didn't think about it, let the Beiwei soldiers rush into the enemy formation at the right time, and capture the thief first. But after all, it is the first summon, it is not clear whether their combat power will be reduced, and the duration of the summoning is only an hour, for the sake of safety, this suggestion is still not mentioned for the time being, and it will depend on the situation at that time.
Zhan Bird hummed noncommittally. Since it was the young master's insistent arrangement, as a subordinate, he could advise, but there was no need to bite the bullet. In fact, in his opinion, it is a good thing to let the young master stay in the back mountain, the Xie Mansion Compound, as the main attack location of the bandits, is not foolproof, and the Xie Mansion Compound is also a dead place, once the compound is breached, there is no place to run. And the back mountain can at least find a way to climb the rock and hang down, which is better than falling into the dead with no way out.
