Chapter Seven: Cao Zhuang's Disaster
The strong enemy has not arrived, and everyone's vigilance has begun to gradually relax, but since he is responsible for the safety of the Cao family, Zhong Wuregret still does not dare to take it lightly, he also knows that the bowstring cannot be tight for a long time, so he also appropriately let everyone relax and relax, but while relaxing, he also maintained vigilance, and at the same time set some alarm signals.
Chu sacrifices to ghosts and gods, and gongs are indispensable, so Zhong Wuregret placed a gong at each lookout post, and sounded the gong to alarm when he encountered enemy news.
In order to strengthen the lethality, Zhong Wuregret also installed bamboo sticks on the log that the trigger trap hit, like a round hedgehog, as long as someone touches the trigger device, even if it is a thin branch, the log with bamboo sticks will fall from the sky.
On this day, the sky was just hazy, and a light layer of mist shrouded around the four fields.
Zhong Wuregret was preparing to inspect the lookout post according to the practice of the last ten days, he had just come to a place ten meters away from a lookout post, and seemed to hear two "whoosh" sounds, he raised his eyes and was stunned, the guard on the lookout post had two arrows stuck in his neck, and he was already out of breath.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Zhong Wuregret came back to his senses, endured the nausea of gagging, and screamed loudly. At this time, the gong of the alarm also sounded.
Fortunately, they all went to bed early and got up early at that time, although it was just dawn, the nurses were already practicing kung fu, and as soon as they heard the enemy's attack, they immediately took up their positions and prepared to meet the enemy.
An ominous shadow swept through Zhong Wuregret's heart. There is no missing arrow, and it is such a strong opponent as soon as it engages, which shows that the other party is prepared this time, and he is determined to win, and next, I don't know which masters will appear.
At this moment, a loud sound of triggering the trap and the accompanying screams were heard coming from outside the village.
The guard on the lookout post has been hurriedly withdrawn under Zhong Wuregret's urgent order, and the other party has a master of bows and arrows, and staying on the lookout post is nothing more than a live target for people.
After a while, a head peeked out of the wall, looked inside the courtyard, and with a wave of his hand, some people with hideous grimace masks jumped in. This time, though, it was they who turned into targets. As soon as they entered, a rain of arrows was shot from the rooftops, windows, and doorways, and a dozen of them lay down on the ground.
Zhong Wuregret observed the outside of the village from the highest observation point in the village, and due to the distance, there were no enemy archers here.
I saw Cao Er followed closely by a young man in light armor, he was about 1.7 meters tall, and his whole body looked very well-proportioned due to martial arts training.
With a slightly emaciated face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, according to modern point of view, he is a good pretty boy, but the yin owl in his eyes makes people shudder. He is Ma Zheng (official position of Caiyi) Chen Ming, the doctor of Qing Ming.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the so-called "under the whole world, it is not the king's land; After the feudal lords, a set of political institutions and officials who held political, economic and military power were also established in the fiefs of the princes, and became a local government with a certain degree of independence. After the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the vassal states claimed to be kings and hegemons, set up officials and divided duties, and each did its own thing.
As the younger brother of Chen Guojun, Chen Ming's doctor has a caiyi, and the caiyi armed forces are filled by the Yi people, and the state sets up a "family sima" to manage. Therefore, it was impossible for them to hand over the management to the king, so they set up Ma Zheng to assist the "family Sima" in managing the military affairs of the province.
Among Dr. Qing's family soldiers, there is another force that cannot be ignored is the "clan soldiers". The "clan soldiers" are the personal soldiers of Dr. Qing. The Western Zhou Dynasty implemented a patriarchal system among the Qing doctors, so each Qing family has a set of patriarchal systems of large and small sects, with the so-called suzerain, clansmen and clansmen. The clansmen have the obligation to defend the suzerain, the clan and the clan, so the "clan soldiers" with the clansmen as the backbone have been formed.
Doctor Chen Ming's "clan soldiers" were personally led by Ma Zheng and Chen Ming.
Chen Ming originally thought that the "clan soldiers" led by him were the elite of the family soldiers, not to mention dealing with a businessman's guard, that is, Chen Guojun went to war with neighboring countries, and sometimes he had to rely on their "clan soldiers" to charge into battle, therefore, robbing a woman was just a matter of getting caught, and he even thought that Chen Ming wanted them to rob people, which was overkill, and he still had a trace of injustice in his heart.
Unexpectedly, even the other party's figure was not seen clearly, first lost ten people in the field, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he also understood what was going on, and lay down ten people, which really aroused Chen Ming's anger, you must know that the "clan soldiers" are the elite of the family soldiers based on the blood clan group, and the death of one means that the Chen family has one less bloodline.
What's more, Chen Ming's face has been lost!
For example, it is normal to die on the battlefield, and it is a glorious thing to die on the battlefield. However, now he is simply robbing a woman, but he has suffered heavy casualties, so how can he not be angry?
You must know that the people Chen Ming brought this time are equivalent to the essence of the regular army, and the other party is just a mediocre peasant in their eyes. The current defeat has forced him to take a fresh look at his opponent.
Chen Ming heard the introduction of Zhong Wuregret from Cao Er, and he didn't think so, thinking that because of Cao Er's failure, he deliberately exaggerated the strength of the opponent in order to exonerate himself.
However, at the beginning of the battle, he really understood how powerful his opponent was. Despite his rage, Chen Ming was not a hot-headed reckless man, and he immediately stopped his offensive against Cao Zhuang and reconsidered his countermeasures.
Zhong Wuregret also felt very tricky at this time, he originally thought that the people who came to rob Cao Yue'e this time were nothing more than diners under Chen Ming.
Generally do these discrediting things, most of them are raised by the diners, among the diners, robbing people and committing treachery, digging graves and coinage, not avoiding the law, there are many people who die lightly and violence, they are the best thugs, they raise them in their spare time, they should work hard when they have something, what they do, it can also be said that they are instructed by the master, or it can be said that they do it on their own. In the era of advocating force first, they deserved to be killed; Kill them, and it is all right, for neither the one who kills nor the slain keep the covenant of the law.
Unexpectedly, although the people who came this time were all dressed in civilian attire, they were completely real troops in terms of combat skills and combat effectiveness.
The enemy's current defeat is due to their carelessness. Don't look at the enemy to stop attacking, when they regain their strength and attack again, the battle will not be so easy. After all, the disparity in combat power is too great, and Cao Zhuang has no danger to defend, looking at the mediocre martial arts of Cao Zhuang Nursing Academy, Zhong Wuregret knows that it is only a matter of time before the enemy breaks the village.
The other party's main target is Cao Yun'e, Zhong Wuregret thought of Cao Yun'e's fierceness, his heart ached, and he took advantage of the short gap in the war to hurriedly run to the back house to find Cao Yun'e.
He had nothing to hide from Cao Yun'e, analyzed the current sinister situation to her, and then said to Cao Yun'e: "Whatever you have to do, you have to do your best, but you have to prepare for the worst." In case the worst happens, I hope you obey them for the time being and don't do stupid things, okay? β
"No! When they come in and see my corpse, they will die, only in this way can the Cao family be truly saved! Cao Yun'e said resolutely.
"Didn't you expect them to be angry and kill all the people in the village? I asked you to obey them temporarily, not to make you Chen Ming's daughter-in-law, if you really want to do that, it will be worse than killing me. If you can trust me, don't despair at any time. Please Miss must respect her own life and stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. Zhong Wuregret said with a smile, he pretended to be relaxed, but just wanted to stabilize Cao Yun'e first.
Hearing his words, Cao Yun'e's eyes lit up.
"As long as you can save Miss, I can make cows and horses for you in my life!" Lingxiang suddenly knelt down and pleaded.
"Be a cow and a horse? I ride you, do you crawl? Zhong Wuregret's words were originally unintentional, but as soon as he said it, he immediately felt too ambiguous.
Cao Yun'e blushed and "spat" lightly, but Lingxiang didn't know what it meant.
"Let's make a long story short, in case Caozhuang is broken and my little sister is kidnapped by them, you have to find a way to delay time on the trip, and I will definitely come to a hero to save the United States." Zhong said smugly without regrets.
"If I can't save it, wouldn't my eldest brother push me into the fire pit with his own hands?" Cao Yun'e said that the resentment was overflowing.
"Are you so unconfident in me? But also," Zhong Wuregret deliberately sighed: "If you and I make a private decision for life now, you won't be so unconfident in me, right?" β
"Good! I promise you! Cao Yun'e said decisively: "You remember, I was born as your Zhong family and died as a ghost of your Zhong family." β
"Huh? Although the lines are old-fashioned, the dream comes too fast! I didn't expect a joke to come true, and in the face of this sudden happiness, Zhong Wuregret was at a loss.
"However, Lingxiang must follow me." Wave after wave.
"Dizzy!" Zhong Wuregret really can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. In fact, it is a very common thing to marry a handmaid, as a companion, it is a great happiness for them to be able to serve their favorite aunt with the young lady, if they can be accepted as a concubine, they can say that they have nothing to ask for in this life.
But Zhong Wuregret has many concepts that are still stuck in the 21st century, and he still remembers his surname Zhong when he suddenly encounters such a good thing as a beautiful girl sending one to accompany one, which is strange!
It's still the evil old society "sexual blessing"! Zhong Wuregret thought happily.
But he knew that in that society, women valued their chastity more than their lives. It's like modern society, don't say anything else, just say that some girls, in order to earn some Internet fees, can casually open "80,000".
Therefore, he said to Cao Yun'e very solemnly: "Remember, I care about you as a person, I don't care what happens to you. As long as you don't see my body, no matter how hard it is, you have to endure it, and I will never give up on you. β
Cao Yun'e and Lingxiang, who listened to this, burst into tears.
After speaking, Zhong Wuregret took Cao Yun'e and Lingxiang in one arm, and said, "The husband will go to the battlefield immediately, give some spiritual encouragement!" β
Before Cao Yun'e and Lingxiang understood what spiritual encouragement was, Zhong Wuregret kissed each other on their lips and said, "Remember, don't think of suicide at any time!" Also, destroy all the candles. β
After that, let them go and return to the battlefield without hesitation.
For Chen Ming, as a military attachΓ©, he led many elite soldiers in the clan to rob a woman, but was beaten to the ground by the courtyard, in terms of the casualties of the children in the clan, it is no less than a small war, and it is difficult to explain how to go back, speaking of which, in addition to thinking that he is useless, no one believes that their "regular army" will suffer so many casualties under the courtyard, which can be described as his great shame, Chen Ming is determined to rely on the sword and the blood of the enemy to wash away his shame.
But he also knew that the best way to avoid more casualties was to persuade him to surrender. However, as a last resort, he still wanted to use force first, so that he could vent his anger.
Chen Ming deserves to be a famous general, he asked all his subordinates to change their armor, and then ordered his subordinates to cut down a big tree, use the trunk to break open the gate, and then hold a shield in one hand and a foot soldier in the other hand to enter first, and after forming a formation, the archers entered again, and shot the courtyard that dared to show their heads with a strong bow.
The massacre kicked off in Caozhuang.
Seeing this situation, the nurses knew that they had encountered strong soldiers, and they suddenly lost their fighting spirit. It was only a matter of time before the village was lost, but they were worried that their wives and children living in the manor would be snatched and killed.
The situation is changing rapidly, Zhong Wuregret didn't expect Chen Ming to blatantly send troops over to rob people, the original strategy can only delay the progress of breaking the village, as soon as he saw that the situation was critical, he immediately wanted to switch to the outside line to fight!
When he broke open the gate, Zhong Wuregret had already summoned Orion to sneak outside the village, and some Orion saw the generals in bronze and the soldiers in leather armor, and they were already frightened and their legs were weak. Only the little Orion and a middle-aged Orion they looked down on the most followed Zhong Wuregret.
Zhong Wuregret let them lie in ambush in a place with a trap, and used his own role as bait to lure the enemy over.
At this time, nearly 100 people had entered the village, and dozens of people were still on guard outside the village. Zhong Wuregret took a bow and arrow and shot an arrow at them alone, turned around and ran.
Zhong Wuregret's archery skills can be said to stink anymore, those clan soldiers saw it, and seven or eight people ran over laughing, trying to catch Zhong Wuregret, Zhong Wuregret pretended to panic, and ran away.
Those clan soldiers just regarded Zhong Wuregret as an idiot-like guardian, but when they arrived at the place where Zhong Wuregret set the trap, don't laugh, they couldn't cry.
