Chapter 4: Fierce Battles
On the road to Wuxian, a group of people from Zhangjia Village, like homeless people, are fleeing for their lives. The three war horses that walked in the front were Ye Feng, Zhang Cheng and Tie Zhu.
Wuhu County is one hundred and fifty-eight miles away from Ling County, and more than 1,000 of them dragged their children and daughters, and the grain was soft and other materials, dragging this team for a mile long. Now they have been on the road for four days, and they have walked no more than 40 miles a day, and there are still 100 miles to go.
The three people who walked in front of the team had their own thoughts.
Looking at the team walking slowly behind him, Zhang Cheng's brows furrowed tightly, after all, he is a future person who has studied 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture, and he understands the speed of the grassland iron horse, and now it has been more than four days, but I am afraid that the grassland iron horse is not far away. But the people of Zhangjia Village are walking so slowly, when will they be able to get out of danger!
As Ye Feng, who was born in the richest family in the village and has been praised by everyone since he was a child, his mood is a little different at the moment. He used to see that Zhang Cheng was just an honest farmer, he didn't know a single big word, he didn't write half an article, and he had three or five hooligans and scoundrels under his hands, but in this war, the team of 100 barbarians also made great contributions and saved the lives of hundreds of people in Zhangjia Village. He Ye Feng has been practicing martial arts for ten years, and his martial arts dare to be called the first in Zhangjia Village and even in the entire Ling County. And now they live side by side with him! This made him the only big landlord in Zhangjia Village, the son of a large scholar family with thousands of acres of fertile land, and his heart was very unbalanced. A hint of jealousy quietly rose in his heart.
And Tie Zhu is Zhang Cheng's person, at this moment in his heart, as long as he follows his brother, he will be fine. No matter what happens, he trusts Zhang Cheng unconditionally. At the moment, he was just thinking about when he would be able to eat a full meal and sleep peacefully.
Seeing Zhang Cheng locking the lintel, Ye Feng asked, "Zhang Cheng, I see you frowning, are you worried about the barbarians?" ”
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes." The villagers brought the old and the young, pots and pans, and almost moved the house. Look at us now, we can only travel 30 miles a day, and the grassland barbarians can travel hundreds of miles a day on their war horses, so we are afraid that tomorrow, the barbarians will be able to catch up. Then it's going to be another fierce battle! ”
"I'm afraid of what he does, I'll kill one when the barbarians come, and I'll kill a pair when they come! Ha ha! Ye Feng didn't wait to speak, and the iron pillar on the side clenched his fist and said proudly.
Ye Feng also nodded and said, "Zhang Cheng, you are just timid. In this battle with the barbarians, we defeated a hundred-man team of barbarians in one fell swoop, if we hadn't been attacked by them and hastily resisted, I was afraid that the chances of victory would be greater. I see, you look down on the barbarians, I already have more than 100 warriors under my command, and there are three brothers who are brave, and there are hundreds of young and strong warriors, even if there is another team of 100 people, or even two teams of 100 people, we also have the power to fight! ”
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, but in his heart, he still didn't dare to take it lightly. In his heart, he knew that the combat power of the steppe iron cavalry was so great that even the regular army of the Great Qian Empire was frightened by the wind, and how could it be compared to these good people.
The next day, at dawn.
Zhang Cheng found Boss Zhang and said to him, "Boss Zhang, there is something I want to entrust to you. ”
Boss Zhang arched his hand and said, "Please Brother Cheng just give me!" ”
"Boss Zhang, listen up. You secretly put the chariots and horses behind the brigade to prevent the brutes from following and chasing them down! In addition, the dog, two stunned. You are five miles away from the brigade. Zhang Cheng said anxiously.
"Brother Cheng! You can rest assured. We must do this well! Boss Zhang gave up his hand and turned to leave.
Ten points in the middle of the day.
"Oh no, Brother Cheng. Oh no, the brutes are really chasing after them. The dog jumped off his horse and shouted.
"What's going on? Are the brutes really chasing and killing? Ye Feng looked at Zhang Cheng in surprise and said in surprise. He was surprised not only by the brute soldiers, but also by Zhang Cheng's precautionary move.
"It's good, let me go to meet the enemy, I'll kill one of the brute soldiers, come a pair, I'll kill a pair!" Since the last time Tiezhu fought against the barbarians, he had vomited several times, and he was very embarrassed. But since then, he seems to have been very excited about the war, and turned to leave. ZHANG Laoda. After pulling out the buttocks, the pig-killing knife looked like he was eager to try. Zhang Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, don't worry, wait a while." ”
"Brother, don't worry. I'll kill him twice and come back, haha. Drive! As soon as Tie Zhu heard that the barbarians were coming, he immediately became excited, and he couldn't listen to what Zhang Cheng said, so he had already ridden away.
Zhang Cheng shouted a few more times, but to no avail. Zhang Cheng muttered in his heart: "Reckless." This guy is really the material for war. It's just so disobedient that I'm so angry! ”
Ye Feng was much calmer at the moment, and he hurriedly asked: "Zhang Cheng, I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, what should you do!" Zhang Cheng looked at the dog again and asked, "How many barbarians are coming, can you see clearly?" ”
Liu Xiao heard Zhang Cheng's question, and thought for a while before he said, "It's a lot, it's a big piece." I've never seen so many people before. There are so many of us! ”
glanced at the dog, and said a useful sentence in a long time. He said, "You go to the back and rest first." After speaking, ignoring the dog, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said to Ye Feng: "Young Master Ye, the brute is brave, not to be underestimated. Let's wait for work and arrange defenses. Boss Zhang, go and chase the iron pillar back for me. ”
"Good!" Ye Feng lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, he nodded, and he rode away. Boss Zhang also left in response.
When Zhang Cheng saw Ye Feng hesitating, he immediately thought of something, and said to himself: "It seems that he is still acting too sharp and jealous of him." It seems that after this time, it is better to be a shopkeeper, at least this life will definitely be saved! Glancing at Ye Feng's distant figure, Zhang Cheng sighed, and the second uncle Zhang Yan came over with more than a dozen neighbors, and he said a little nervously: "Cheng'er, I heard that the barbarians are coming?" What are we going to do? ”
"Hurry up and let the villagers divide the carriages and horses into two rows and block the horses of the brutes. In addition, hurry up and dig more big pits in front, at least one finger deep, the mouth of the bowl is so big! Just go! ”
When Zhang Yan heard this, he saw that Zhang Cheng was a little flustered, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart. But I still took it with a neighbor to prepare.
After arranging things, he hurriedly found Ye Hexuan and said to him, "Master Ye, the barbarian is here." We must unite now and do a good job of defense! ”
When Ye Hexuan heard the news, he nodded again and again, the battle of Zhangjiacun was indispensable, and Zhang Cheng contributed a lot. Ye Hexuan still trusts Zhang Cheng more or less in his heart.
"Well, good. You say! What shall we do? ”
"That's the case, the brute soldiers are now less than three miles away from us, we must hurry up and do a good job of defense, the second uncle has already taken the left and right neighbors to prepare, but there are too few people, do you see if you can transfer some people here to help?" In addition, gather the young people who can fight, and you can send weapons to prepare to meet the enemy! Zhang Cheng said more casually and easily, he knew that Ye Hexuan had always looked down on himself and always disliked himself. He just does what he has to do, and is worthy of these old folks who help him.
"Good! Dafu, you go and arrange it, gather all the people who can be mobilized, and go to help with Zhang Cheng! Ye Hexuan agreed without hesitation and instructed the housekeeper around him to do it.
