Chapter 716: A Confrontation
The lake facing the annex is just the distance from the gate of the front yard, which is just the distance through the entire annex.
This is the size of a serious five-entry courtyard.
The garden is big, the north and south are long, and Zhu Changan didn't come here much in his previous life. It is precisely because he understands this place that he uses sound to attack the west.
After a few rounds of arrows, ninety percent of the armor guards were attracted to the fan-shaped fleet and the lakeside backyard to wait.
On the other hand, the defense of the land route, which had just won a big victory, repelled the opponent, and decided that the opponent was no longer capable of organizing an attack in a short period of time, was naturally much weaker.
Zhu Changan was taken by surprise and hit the land route, and successfully caught the guards off guard.
In addition to worrying that the front door would not be able to withstand it, Cheng Ziyu and the first guard chief were also afraid that they would be exhausted between the north and the south.
In this way, the manpower is back to the defense, and it is necessary to go from the lake to the garden through the hanging flower gate to the front yard, which is not close to the foot, back and forth, and the timing may be delayed.
At this moment, the direction of the front yard is not only bright and prosperous, but also firelight.
The sound of fighting also began to be heard.
Some guards rushed in with sweat on their heads.
"Because all the people were brought to the lake, the traps that had been set up in the front yard didn't work to the fullest. In addition, the other party suffered losses before and had precautions in various traps, so in a short period of time, they had hit the gate desperately! It's attacking the door at the moment! ”
The chief of the guard made a gesture and pointed out several teams of men to go out to help resist.
Zhu Changan on the other side was still shouting.
"Cheng Ziyu, how's it going? Isn't it still full of confidence? Who's in charge? Repentance, right? Tell you, you're surrounded! Soon, our men will come in, see where you are going? It's just beginning, and if you don't want to wait a little longer, surrender sooner......"
Cheng Ziyu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and hurriedly looked at the head of the guard.
There is only a wall away from the other party's entry into the courtyard, so the situation is very critical. But the biggest problem is starting to be exposed, and it is still a shortage of manpower. Not only to guard against Zhu Changan, but also to strengthen the front door. How should such a person be dispatched?
If one doesn't get it right, something will happen.
"How many people are coming?"
"There are one or two thousand."
When the chief of the guards heard this, he glanced at Cheng Ziyu. The two of them saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Or more than a thousand, doesn't that mean that they don't have much replenishment in their forces?" This is the common sentiment of the two.
A third road:
"But since they have broken through the defensive line we have set up earlier and have gathered near the gate, we are very passive inside. It means that we have been surrounded. If they speed up the contraction, we will have nowhere to go. Even if we can withstand them once and attack, what about two or three times? It won't be long before the gates are breached. ”
"I have a solution!" Cheng Ziyu glanced at He Yong not far away. "You can turn reactive into proactive!"
……
Zhu Changan really didn't bring many people. The group of cronies he had cultivated with great difficulty were basically folded in Li Chun's hands, and he had almost no one available. Zhu Changjue's monkey spirit knew that he was desperate and had no qualifications to negotiate, so he would not give him much power, let alone many people.
The reason why he is used is because he is familiar with Jiang Nan and Cheng Ziyu.
The reason why he was given a boat was also because Zhu Changjue heard that Cheng Ziyu had taken the waterway, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up, so he prepared these dozen painless boats.
But Zhu Changan still couldn't bear it. Since he is here, how can he hold it? Cheng Ziyu plus Li Chun, this is double the hatred!
Therefore, even though they did not have many men left in Jingxi, he still persuaded a few leaders to cooperate with him in an attack.
It works well.
He led most of the enemy troops to the shore of Taihu Lake, so the garrison on the periphery of the courtyard would definitely be greatly weakened along the way.
He was right.
At this moment, it is a matter of time before they break through the gates.
At that time, he will lead his men to attack the shore, and when he strikes back and forth, the other party will definitely take care of one or the other.
By the time Zhu Changjue arrived, he had already cleaned up the mess. He can also be regarded as a reflection of his own value! He didn't know where else he could go or where he would go, but he didn't want to give up on himself in his heart!
……
But Zhu Changan didn't expect that the other party's hurricity did not come.
On the other side of the lake, the torches went out again.
Again, it was pitch black again.
It seems that the previous brightness, the previous provocation by Cheng Ziyu, and the previous lively scene were all his illusions.
Things didn't go according to his plan and prediction.
Shouldn't Cheng Ziyu be panicked at this moment, I don't know what to do, take care of one or the other, and jump to my feet in a hurry? Then he can appreciate her loss of control, taunt her, torture her, and abuse her......
Zhu Changan is confident that although his good ship is not big, it is specially designed for water warfare and has experienced real water warfare. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs and has good attack power.
Therefore, if the other party attacks, it is best. He can have a good show with them. If the other person retreats, then he will delay for a while. When the time comes, he will launch another onslaught.
But he just didn't understand why every time he faced Cheng Ziyu in this life, the situation would be out of his control. At this moment, the other party suddenly stopped moving.
So is he on, or not?
The fleet was pitch black, and the dummies weren't erected again. Why? Are they sure he won't fire any more arrows?
Zhu Changan had to wonder if the other party was cheating?
How could the other party be so quiet?
Did they prepare any traps?
That Cheng Ziyu, when was he a submissive goods?
Zhu Changan was a little cowardly, he couldn't help but think that Cheng Ziyu had time and mind to tie up the scarecrow, so could these big boats connected together be bait to lure them up.
Will there be something waiting for you up there?
In fact, it is not only Zhu Changan, but also his lieutenant, who also feels the same way as him.
"Attack?" Zhu Changan asked.
"My subordinate suggested that instead of taking the risk, it would be better to wait for the soldiers who attacked the door. If they do, let's cooperate with the death sudden. If they don't succeed, let's go forward and make trouble again and toss the other party's people. ”
Zhu Changan opened his mouth, but he didn't have the courage to refute and was aggrieved.
Also embarrassing.
It's as if he received an invitation card, and the other party wanted to invite him to dinner, and he prepared for a long time, dressed up, and not only planned to make a shining appearance, but also made a name for himself.
But when he arrived at the other party's door, he found that the other party's door was closed, and he completely forgot to make an appointment with him.
In the crowd of onlookers, should he walk in? Or wait?
"Why don't you use fire?" As soon as he asked, he refuted it himself.
It's a simple and crude approach.
Zhu Changan didn't expect it before.
But if you put down a fire on the lake, I'm afraid that such a dozen big boats will burn for two days, right? The fire is burning, how can they land? When the fire burns, everyone must know about it. Officers and soldiers from nearby towns had to rush to the city.
He didn't have time to wait. Wait any longer, Li Chunkang and Amber should arrive......
Zhu Changjue originally asked him to kill Cheng Ziyu in order to gain speed. It's a race. Kang Anbo and Li Chun are their opponents. They are bound to win.
So, although they had all kinds of firearms on board, he did not use any of them.
Zhu Changan confessed.
Anyway, he decided that as long as the attack on the door began, Cheng Ziyu and their guards would inevitably draw most of them to the front yard. He just waited for the signal at the gate.
It's just that......
It's still out of control! The news he was waiting for was not the news he thought he could receive......
He didn't expect that Cheng Ziyu didn't design any traps, and he didn't expect that Cheng Ziyu would transfer ninety percent of the people in their hands to the front yard......
In the front yard, Zhu Changan's people suddenly attacked, throwing countless fireballs in a row. Taking advantage of the chaos on the other side of the gate, they really almost attacked the gate as a city gate!
The division of labor is clear.
Some of them were responsible for hitting the door with a crossbar, some of them were shooting arrows at that end, some of them were climbing up with hooks and ladders, and even prepared a team of people who would come to the back of the break.
The man on the other side of the door turned on his back.
No matter how strong the gate is, it can't withstand such an attack.
No matter how high the wall is, it can't withstand the intentional climbing.
The guards inside the gate worked very hard, and shot arrows one after another, but the opponent was fully armed, and it was difficult to shoot the vital point.
Variables exist.
Just when Zhu Changjue's group saw that the door was crumbling, they thought that the general trend had been decided, and they were stepping up the final round of attack, so excited that they almost got carried away, they didn't expect it, but there was a sudden burst of cold arrows behind them.
A large number of armored guards appeared behind them......
They couldn't figure it out, all the places they could surround on the periphery of Cheng Mansion were surrounded, where did these people come from?
They couldn't have imagined that there would be so many of them.
The dense crowd of guards came in such a way that it interrupted and disrupted the rhythm and pace of their attack. Their backs were exposed to each other's eyes, and they fell in batches.
They passively divided half of their men to block, but they found that the number of opponents was not less than their own.
Their space was forced to shrink by someone from behind. But to make matters worse, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly opened from the inside.
And the moment they opened the door, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows.
The other party had been prepared for a long time, shooting round after round of sharp arrows, and did not even give them a chance to breathe. Coupled with the short range, it is almost accurate to shoot. No, no, it should be said that they were all blocked at the door, and because they were so dense, almost all the arrows that flew out casually from the other side could be hit or hit.
The result of the front and back attack is obvious: it puts them in a position where they are slaughtered.
However, the other side also has a numerical advantage.
Zhu Changjue didn't understand that those people died, how could there be so many people on the other side?
Did they misestimate the number of people in this courtyard, or did the other party transfer all the people? But how?
Cheng Ziyu still has to be grateful to He Yong.
She pulled all her men out of the lake. Then most of them went around the He family through the passage that had just been opened between the Cheng family and the He family. In this way, they were unaware of the enemy's rear.
The enemy over there was busy attacking, and where would he notice it, the side door of the dark other man's house was secretly opened.
The well-trained armor guards were like ghosts in the dark night, lifting their spirits and light skills, and they approached like this. When Zhu Changan's people found the coolness behind them, it was naturally the time when they died.
Well, of course, the outstanding power of this arrow rain is still due to the batch of Zhu Chang'an's arrows that have just been harvested. It's a great deal.
So, the lake is really a shelf. She expected the cowardice in Zhu Changan's heart. Of course, even if he doesn't coax him, she has a way to clean him up.
Cheng Ziyu actually never left, and kept staring at Zhu Changan on the Wang family's boat.
She admired his hesitation and the fear in his heart.
"Zhu Changan, I'm embarrassed to tell you, I promised to tell you before, I'm afraid that my promise of how many arrows I harvested from you may not be fulfilled. But I promised you to make the most of those arrows, and I did the one that sealed my throat with blood.
I have returned your arrows to your men. More than 1,000 of them have just gone up Huangquan Road together. If you want to know more, you quickly wipe your neck and chase after it, it must be too late. ”
Except for a few who escaped, Zhu Changan's gang died.
Who can stand up to the dense rain of arrows in front and back, and the outer encryption is impermeable? If you can't fight and can't fight, you can't escape and you can't escape, it's a dead end at all.
The first guard side won a big victory.
In addition, it has also doubled the harvest of weapons and materials from the other side.
Of course, the most important thing is that so far, Zhu Changjue, the first batch of menacing guys who ambushed Jingxi, has almost been wiped out. Once again, they bought themselves a respite.
Taking advantage of this time, the guards divided two teams to investigate, one team went to various water and land routes in all directions, to ensure that once another person appeared in the Jingxi area, they could gain insight as soon as possible. The other team went to the government and other places to collect weapons, and did their best to expand their strength at this time.
The rest of the guards were busy cleaning up the corpses, and of course, the main ones were the arrows on the corpses.
The guards were still busy reinforcing the gate, and they took advantage of the time to cut a lot of bamboo from the Cheng family's He family to build a number of hidden arrow towers, and then designed some traps and sneak attack points on the periphery of the courtyard......
When Zhu Changan heard Cheng Ziyu's sarcasm, it was when he received the news that he had been defeated.
What can he do at this moment?
Only one thing - return!
Indeed, as Cheng Ziyu said before, the armor guards have the right time and place, and they also have a numerical advantage, and if they really want to fight head-on, he has no chance of winning at all.
So, after Zhu Changan lit a firework for help again, he ran fast with his fleet, and disappeared into the fog in less than half an hour.
Soon the spies came to report that Zhu Changan had not left, and his boat was still parked in Taihu Lake, probably waiting for a response.
The guards did not pursue.
The opponent's ship is a professional water fighter, and all the advantages of the own side are only in numbers, it cannot be fought, and there is no suitable ship to attack......
So you can only defend.
I can finally take a breather. Cheng Ziyu sat panting.
Look at the moonlight, it's been a long time before dawn. She had a hunch that today was the final decision for the group.
After not resting well, and when she was tired again, her stomach and stomach turned over again, as if the child was protesting to her.
She rubbed her abdomen and smiled slowly, "If you're lucky, you'll be able to see your father today." Want to see him? Bear with me, as long as you get through tonight. Everything will be different. "Zhu Changan is here, Li Chun won't be far away, right?
It's amazing, the child in the womb is as if he understands, and he calms down all of a sudden.
