Chapter 4 Water Village (2)
(Two chapters have been sent yesterday, and the first update is today.) )
Only a small part of the buildings and watchtowers of Liang Jun Water Village are built on land, basically built in the water, and the walkways made of hardwood are connected between the various parts, and the whole water village is like a floating palace floating on the water from a distance, with lights and lights.
It's not summer yet, the shallows don't have the annoying cries of frogs and toads, the weather is far from hot, but it's not too cold, and the river breeze brings coolness.
This is the most relaxed time of the day.
Qian Youtian is the sergeant on duty tonight on the ninth watchtower of Shuizhai, who is sitting on the watchtower slab with a horizontal knife and napping against the fence.
He was almost forty years old, in the prime of a man's life. However, for Qian Youtian, who has been in the army for more than ten years and is only a small team, it doesn't matter whether he is in his prime or not, anyway, he never thought about how much military merit he would fight. When he was caught in the army, the reason why he didn't run away was just to eat for a living, so on the battlefield, he was never the group of people who fought the most desperately to kill the enemy, but the group of people who knew how to save their lives.
The three brothers of the family who were arrested at the beginning, Qian Youtian is the second. The boss is the most courageous, and his killing skills are also the best, and he has been in the army for two years to the head of the capital, and he is deeply respected by the commander; The third child was the most clever and had a good brain, and soon after enlisting in the army, he became a scout, took the highest salary, ate the best meat, drank the strongest wine, and the commander also gave him his own saber.
Later, the eldest and third both died.
Both brothers have been dead for many years, and only Qian Youtian is still alive. Not only lived, but also married his mother-in-law, gave birth to a baby with a handle, and passed on the incense to the old Qian family. In Qian Youtian's own words, people live for a lifetime, and when they are older, they will say that they will be glorious, and if they are small, they will not just want a wife and children to heat the kang head, but if they can't pass on the incense to the old Qian family, they will also talk about the glory of the ancestors.
So Qian Youtian is very satisfied with his current life, and he also feels very satisfied, some time ago on the Qingming Festival, when he went to the grave of the eldest and the third child, Qian Youtian also chatted with the two brothers: If it weren't for my second money, there would be no one to burn paper money for the two of you in the future!
A cold wind blew, Qian Youtian shrank back, opened his eyes vaguely, took out the wine jug and took a sip. The hot current slid from his throat into his stomach, and his whole body was warmed, and it felt like that thing had just slipped into his mother-in-law in winter, and Qian Youtian almost couldn't help moaning.
When I looked up, I saw that the little black man in front of him was still standing straight, looking like he was sentry. Qian Youtian has a good impression of this recruit who has only been in the army for three months, and he feels that this kid is very similar to his third brother back then.
"Little black, come, take a sip of wine to warm up." Qian Youtian stretched out the wine jug and greeted the little black man.
Xiao Heizi turned around, glanced at Qian Youtian, hesitated, but still took Qian Youtian's wine jug, raised his head and took a small sip, returned the wine jug to Qian Youtian, thanked him, and turned around again.
Looking at the back of the little black man, Qian Youtian smiled, he knew that the little black man was a big ghost, an ambitious guy, and looked down on a soldier like him, but Qian Youtian didn't mind - when will there be fewer people in the army who look down on him? But so what, of the 100 guys who joined the same batch of troops, less than 10 are still alive today, and he is the only one who is still sound, and the only one who is still in the army to eat.
If it weren't for the shadow of Xiao Heizi who has his third brother, Qian Youtian wouldn't have handed him this wine, and if he lived to his part, how many things could not be seen through?
But Qian Youtian has a problem, that is, chattering, he looked at the little black man with his arms in his arms, and from his point of view, the little black man's helmet seemed to have a lot of stars, and he urged: "Little black man, there are fireflies flashing on your hat!" ”
Xiao Heizi touched his helmet, and when he looked up and saw the vast galaxy in the night sky, he realized that Qian Youtian was making fun of him, and he said to this boring guy a little helplessly: "Team Zheng, can you not make fun of the boy?" ”
Qian Youtian smiled, didn't say more, closed his eyes and prepared to squint for a while. Squinting for a while, when he opened his eyes, it was almost dawn, and he could change shifts.
But at this moment, Qian Youtian's originally lazy body suddenly jumped up like a leopard, grabbed Xiao Heizi's shoulders and pulled him back.
Xiao Heizi turned his head in surprise, and was about to say something, when he felt that his body unconsciously fell towards the ladder entrance, and Qian Youtian, who was originally like a lazy pig, had a dignified look on his face that he had never seen before, and flashed to the side, this scene made Xiao Heizi completely unclear.
But before he could speak, the next moment, Xiao Heizi felt something hit his back, and then, a trace of coldness slipped through his throat, and the strength in his body suddenly dissipated into nothingness with a hula, and his body fell weakly.
When Qian Youtian found that someone climbed up the wooden ladder, he didn't have time to do anything, so he didn't hesitate for a moment, and pushed the little black man very decisively and cruelly, giving him a little space, and he himself took the opportunity to jump over the fence of the watchtower and jumped.
Looking downstairs is the Yellow River, and Qian Youtian knows that he will be fine if he jumps. When he was leaning against the river and facing the watchtower and falling, a question suddenly appeared in Qian Youtian's heart: When the third child died, was he also pushed out by his team to block the knife?
There will never be an answer to this question, because the third child has been dead for too long, and his team back then has long since died.
"Plop" fell into the water with a bang. A moment later, Qian Youtian emerged from the cold river water, and when he looked at the water village, he was almost frightened by the sight in front of him!
Countless black shadows, covering all the passages of the water village, surged to the buildings in an orderly manner from different directions, and the horizontal knives in their hands flashed with a chilling light in the firelight and moonlight. On the eighteen watchtowers, all the soldiers standing were longbows in their hands and wearing the armor of the Tang Army!
Qian Youtian was almost frightened, he knew that if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have become an unjust soul by now! He didn't dare to look any more, plunged into the water and dived to the other side, just wanting to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, and he didn't even have time to wonder: when and how did these people appear, and why didn't the little black man who had been keeping watch find anything?
Qian Youtian only knows one thing: the water village is over! If he doesn't run, he'll be doomed!
Diving all the way, after leaving the water village for a distance of dozens of zhang, Qian Youtian slowly approached the shore, and after confirming that there was no one on the shore, he climbed ashore with his hands and feet, and he didn't have time to shake off his soaked robe, he ran to the shore like crazy with a worried heart.
At this moment, Qian Youtian didn't think about how to inform the news here, didn't think about how to avenge his dead comrades, didn't think about what to do with gathering the remnants of the army that might escape, he had only one thought in his mind: escape! Escape home!
Go home, be with your mother-in-law and children, and never go back to the barracks again!
Even if you starve to death, you will never return to the barracks!
He just wants to spend the rest of his life with his mother-in-law and children in peace.
But the sudden sharp pain in his calf made Qian Youtian scream and fall to the ground. He hurriedly turned around, and saw an iron arrow stuck in his calf, and when he looked around, a group of sergeants dressed as Tang Army appeared in the jungle at some point.
As the leader of the Tang Army, he strode towards him with a knife, and Qian Youtian could even hear the squeak of the sand and gravel under the footsteps of the other party.
"I surrender, I surrender! No, don't kill me! Qian Youtian hurriedly threw away the long knife, couldn't wait to raise his hand, and looked at the person with a pleading face, "Don't kill me, I still have mother-in-law and children at home, don't kill me, I surrender!" ”
Tang Jiang didn't stop, ignored Qian Youtian's pleading, and with a wave of his sword, he cut off his head.
Qian Youtian felt his vision spin uncontrollably, and then fell to the ground, and he finally saw his own blood-spurting headless corpse, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Why, why kill me, I've already surrendered......
Qian Youtian died without turning a blind eye.
General Tang ordered his soldiers next to Qian Youtian's corpse: "Check left and right, especially on the shore, but if there is a captured Liang army, don't count and kill!" ”
After arranging these, General Tang stopped beside Qian Youtian, as if he saw Qian Youtian's eyes not closed, as if he sensed the injustice in Qian Youtian's heart, he walked towards the water village and said: "Once you put on the battle robe, you are a soldier, whether you want to or not." How long you live is your luck, and the Horse Leather Shroud is your fate. ”
Qian Youtian couldn't hear this, he was already dead.
Meng Ping didn't know that Liang Jun, who had just died in his hands, was called Qian Youtian, and he had a tragic life because he couldn't help himself. He was the commander of this battle, and the criterion for winning this battle was not to lose a single Liang army.
The scuffle in the water village has begun.
The Hundred Battles Army took the lead, from four directions, quietly approached the water village on both sides of the waterway, and the dozens of hundreds of soldiers who took the lead were dressed in Liang Army robes to confuse the public, first controlled the watchtower, and then cleaned up the Liang Army sergeants patrolling the water village, and finally the Hundred Battles Army Brigade came out together, divided into several units, each surrounded a building - or called a barracks, rushed into the Liang army's deep sleep, and slaughtered on a large scale.
On the walkway outside the building, the flames in the brazier on the wooden frame swayed, reflecting the walls and screens of the water-walled building. There were dark shadows in the building, swords and swords, and from time to time blood sprayed on the screen window, and the screams were endless.
Occasionally, Liang Jun broke out of the window and tried to jump into the water, but as soon as their bodies appeared, they were shot into hedgehogs by the archers of the Hundred Battles Army surrounded outside. The Liang army tried to set fire to the police, but before the fire could burn, it was extinguished by the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army, who had been prepared for a long time, with water.
In a building, He Xiaofu, the head of the gentleman's capital, hacked Liang Jun, who didn't have time to wear armor, to death with a knife, and before he could confiscate the knife, he was stabbed in the lower abdomen, and blood flowed out of his mouth. He Xiaofu gritted his teeth and scolded his mother, kicked the general over, and another hundred battle troops followed him and chopped him to death.
"Dutou, fire!" At this time, He Xiaofu heard someone shouting, and when he looked back, he saw that a Liang soldier had knocked over the oil lamp, and the fire spread along the flowing tung oil. Seeing this scene, He Xiaofu's eyes were split, this is the second floor, the water didn't have time to be delivered, He Xiaofu rushed up and unloaded his Liang Jun's arm with a knife, and looked down to see that the fire was about to spread.
He Xiaofu was extremely anxious, he naturally knew what it meant that the fire could not be controlled - it would definitely be discovered by the Liang army on the other side, and the next operation would fail! He Xiaofu suddenly saw that the robe on his lower abdomen had been stained red with blood, and the blood was still oozing out.
The black face was covered with sweat, He Xiaofu let out a low roar, threw himself into the fire, and used the blood on his lower abdomen to extinguish the spreading fire.
Because he was not burly and a little lean, he had to crawl back and forth against the floor with his bleeding lower abdomen against the floor to suppress the fire.
