Chapter 299: Doghead Mountain
A golden morning sun is lazily draped on the dog head mountain.
I saw an unfinished cottage on the mountain.
The wooden houses of the stilted building, built next to the mountain, are continuous and appear in the faint mist of the early morning.
But if you look closely, you will find that most of the houses in the cottage have only been built with the main body, and even the semi-finished products of the roof have not had time to be built, and the wood and bricks are piled up everywhere in a disorderly manner, like a ruin.
The whole cottage is quite neat and tidy on the wall in front of the mountain.
Logs made from the waist-thick and three- or four-foot tall logs of adult men were driven into the ground side by side, and the gaps were filled with glutinous rice mortar, and a platform was built above them for archers to shoot...... As long as the defense is done properly, it is a head-on impact of the seven-rank master, and it is difficult to cross this wall.
But blocking the seven-grade master is also the limit of this cottage.
If it is the great man of the sea of qi who is attacking, then even if this wooden wall is doubled in height and thickened, it is meaningless......
As soon as the morning dawned, the residents of the cottage got up in twos and threes, stood in front of their homes, and greeted each other with their neighbors.
It seems that although the days in the cottage are a little embarrassing, they are also leisurely and comfortable.
If compared with the four northern counties that have fallen and turned into purgatory on earth, this is already a fairyland on earth!
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves disturbed the peace and calm that belonged to the early morning, and the residents of the cottage looked nervously and puzzled at the ride that rushed in from outside the cottage.
I saw a familiar Xuanwu cousin, who was riding his horse and shouting in a loud voice in ecstasy: "The helper is back!"
"The helper is back!"
The residents were stunned, then came back to their senses and rushed down the hill.
The helper is back?
The gang leader?
In this cottage, there has always been only one helper!
......
"Master Chu, you're back!"
The mule stepped forward with a smile, personally pulled the reins of the green horse, and turned to go up the mountain.
The shape of the mountain of Mt. Dog's Head, as the name suggests, is a mountain bag shaped like a dog's head.
The bridge of the dog's nose is the entrance to the mountain, which is very narrow, can only accommodate two carriages in parallel, and there are cliffs on both sides.
After the bridge of the dog's nose, the mountain becomes steeper and the amplitude increases...... This is the middle of the dog's eye.
Further up, the undulation of the mountain bag becomes smaller, and the field becomes spacious, which is the part of the dog Tianling cover.
The cottage is located on the Tianling cover.
At this time, Zhang Chu and the one hundred and eighteen Blood Tiger Battalion warriors under his command had already crossed the most heavily guarded dog nose bridge and began to go up the mountain.
Zhang Chu let the mule lead the horse for him, his eyes swept left and right, and he saw two fields of crops that had grown green seedlings, and he couldn't recognize what kind of crops were planted in the fields.
In a short time, dense footsteps descended from the halfway up the mountain.
As soon as Zhang Chu raised his head, he saw countless men, women, and children on the mountain coming down to greet him.
He suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
The energetic formation of those men, women, and children was like coming down to meet a triumphant army.
But in fact, they were just a remnant of the army.
If it is a big victory, there will be more centaurs who come back alive......
He lowered his head a little weakly and asked the mule, "How is it in the stockade? Is there any problem?"
"There was a problem before. ”
The mule replied briskly, "You're back, it's no problem." ”
Zhang Chu smiled when he heard this, but his smile was a little cold.
He knows very well who Yang Changan is.
Vision, ability, ambition, and force is not weak!
He put Yang Changan to sit in Goutou Mountain before, and what he valued was his ability to be alone.
Naturally, he also expected that he would definitely make some trouble that would make everyone unhappy.
But Yang Changan's pattern is destined to make him only a little bit of a moth.
It can't be a big climate......
Soon, the crowd of people on the mountain quickly rushed to Zhang Chu.
"Helper, you're finally back. ”
"Yes, helper, if you don't come back, we're all going to think about looking for you......"
"Yes, you're not here, we always feel empty in our hearts, and we don't have the backbone!"
Countless people welcomed Zhang Chu's return with a lot of mouth.
There were also some people who stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look at the one hundred and eighteen riders behind Zhang Chu.
In a short time, someone cheered and rushed into the one hundred and eighteen horses, holding the knight on horseback, crying and laughing.
Some people burst into tears, and they had to join the gossiping crowd with tears and laughter to welcome Zhang Chu's return.
Everyone called Zhang Chu "helper".
Although most of them are only family members of the Quadruple Gang......
Zhang Chu looked around, and the sadness in his heart calmed down for a day or two, and once again surfaced in his heart.
"Old and young masters!"
He straddled the horse, threw his hands with tears in his eyes, and said loudly: "I, Zhang Chu, am incompetent, and I have not been able to bring back all the brothers completely, and many brothers have not even been able to leave a whole corpse!"
"They are all good men, it's useless for me Zhang Chu, if the big guy has resentment in his heart, even if he beckons to me Zhang Chu, if you want to kill or fight, I will never fight back!"
"Helper, I don't blame you!"
A haggard little woman with a flower cloth turban on her head and tears on her face stood in the crowd, holding a half-grown baby in her arms, and cried loudly: "I was in charge of the family and died in a battle with the Northern Barbarian cattle, he died a man, he did not lose the face of the eighteenth generation of my ancestors of the old Zhao family, and when he returned home in the future, he can enter the ancestral temple to be worshiped by future generations!"
As soon as the little woman's words fell, another gray-haired old man said in a mournful voice: "The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family is right, we don't blame you!
"You have done your best, if it weren't for you, our big family wouldn't be able to live, my son always said when he was here before, he was lucky to be with you and the master of the bear hall in his life!"
The tearful crowd in the crowd actually comforted Zhang Chu in turn.
Lost loved ones, they don't suffer?
No, they are more painful than anyone else!
But the human heart is made of flesh.
Zhang Chu treated them like this, anyone with eyes could see it.
Human life has a price.
Everyone who joined the gang, he and his family, had already prepared that he would go out with a knife one day and never come back.
And the compensation given by Zhang Chu has obviously exceeded the price of that life.
These old and weak women and children are all alive because of Zhang Chu.
What position do they have to blame Zhang Chu?
Zhang Chu looked at the tearful faces, and his vision gradually blurred.
Without saying a word, he jumped off his horse and knelt in front of the crowd with a "poof".
The crowd dispersed, and no one dared to accept his gift.
But Zhang Chu still kowtowed three times in a row, and hissed: "On behalf of the brothers who died in battle, I bid farewell to my father!"
The restrained low sobs in the crowd finally collapsed into howls.
......
"Ula ......"
"Kill!"
Zhang Chu's eyes stared fixedly at the cobweb-covered beams, the noisy shouts of killing on the battlefield echoed in his ears, and fierce faces appeared in front of his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and scratched between the futons with his right hand, as if looking for the Xuanhua Axe or the Shocking Cloud.
"Grandpai......"
The soft shout pulled Zhang Chu's mind back from the blood-red battlefield, and a white and slender palm shook in front of his eyes.
His rapid heartbeat calmed down a little, and when he looked down, he was greeted by a pretty face full of worry.
"Master, you're awake!"
Zhiqiu's eyes were full of distress, but when he saw him looking at him, he still forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and said softly with a smile like a flower.
Zhang Chu's body was as tense as steel bar, and then he finally relaxed.
He let out a long exhale and asked softly, "How long have I been asleep?"
Only then did he realize that his underwear and bedding had been wet with sweat, sticky, and extremely unpleasant.
Zhiqiu, who was nestled in his arms, lifted his sleeve and gently wiped his sweaty forehead, slowed down his voice and said softly: "It's been two days." ”
"Two days and two nights?"
Zhang Chu frowned, and shouted outside the door without thinking: "Big Bear, arrange hot soup ......"
As soon as he spoke, Zhiqiu's body stiffened suddenly, and the sleeves he lifted didn't dare to fall on his forehead again.
She saw that her man's eyes were like a night sky covered by dark clouds with starlight, and suddenly dimmed.
"Yes, Master Chu!"
The muffled voice of a mule came from outside the door.
......
After Zhang Chu bathed and changed his clothes, he changed into a white robe, and walked to the Juyi Hall at the highest point of the cottage surrounded by the Xuanwu Hall with a hundred black armor and black helmets.
Along the way, residents continued to say hello to Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu returned the salute and took this opportunity to take a closer look at this cottage.
Two days ago, he led one hundred and eighteen Blood Tiger Battalion warriors up the mountain, but after only a cursory glance, he asked the mule to lead him to Zhiqiu and catch up on sleep.
He was so tired.
People are tired, their hearts are tired, they don't want to care about anything, they just want to sleep for a day and a night.
Anyway, the mule also said that the problems in the cottage are just minor problems......
Zhang Chu looked at the entire cottage all the way, but the more he looked at it, the more frowning he became.
He could see that Yang Changan had put a lot of thought into building this cottage.
With the building as a trench and the narrow human-shaped aisle as a trench, the entire cottage was designed into a huge military array.
If a large group of people rushes in from the gate of the cottage, they will immediately be divided into countless small groups of people by this narrow aisle.
From this point of view, it is beneficial to the cottage defenders to counterattack with the help of geographical advantages.
But Yang Changan has never been on the battlefield.
He only thought about the sword, not about other issues.
Judging from Zhang Chu's experience in guarding the city for three days and three nights with the 20,000 Northern Barbarian Army, Yang Changan's design is completely ...... Full of flaws, stupid!
The corridors are so densely built, and most of the buildings are all wooden, that the enemy only needs a wave of rockets to burn the entire cottage to the ground in no time!
At that time, these narrow passages will become a Shura field for burying the residents of this village!
Even if the enemy is stupid enough not to attack with fire, this design doesn't make much sense.
If the enemy's commander is only a third-grade wrestler, then he can defend the enemy by holding the wall, and there is no need to put the enemy in the cottage and use the advantageous position to grind the enemy to death little by little.
If the enemy's commander is a mid-third grade qi sea hero, then the other party can swing a knife to forcibly break a wide aisle for the army to move forward, this design is still useless!
Then start from your own point of view.
This kind of narrow aisle, the first impact on the standard of living, will make the residents in the whole cottage have a sense of gloom living in the sewer, for a long time, the people will be unstable.
Second, in the event of a war, it is impossible to quickly mobilize manpower and material resources for defense, which will make it more difficult to defend......
All in all, the design of this cottage is a brain-dead design that a layman who doesn't know about military affairs and pat his head to come up with.
It's still the kind of brain-dead design that thinks it's very clever!
What's more, the cottage has been built like this, and if it is bulldozed and rebuilt, the waste of manpower and material resources will increase exponentially!
Zhang Chu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
This Yang Chang'an is really a thing that can't become a big climate.
......
Zhang Chu's footsteps stepped into the Juyi Hall like the wind.
Yang Changan was dressed in a green shirt, covered with cranes, his long hair was tied up on the top of his head with a small jade crown, and his heroic posture was high on the tiger skin chair, until he came in, he got up and greeted him with a big smile: "Hahaha, helper, you can really sleep!"
He laughed and walked in front of Zhang Chu, squeezed his hands and said, "Subordinates meet the helper", but he didn't mean to bow down at all.
As if waiting for Zhang Chu to be as usual, he reached out to help him and said "no need to be polite".
Zhang Chu glanced at the big tiger skin chair in the hall, and then looked at the four unfamiliar and vicious faces on the left and right in the hall, as well as Zhang Meng, who was squeezed to sit by the door and kept glaring at him, the corners of his thin lips were raised, and he looked down at Yang Changan with a smile, his hands behind his back, and he didn't move at all.
Three eight-pins and one ninth-pin.
Is...... What a strong capital!
Yang Changan was uncomfortable for a while by his gaze, and resisted hard for a while, but the most important thing was that he couldn't resist the psychological shadow left by Zhang Chu at the beginning, and he was unwilling and reluctant to bow down.
He thinks he's prepared!
In the Juyi Hall, plus him, there are a total of four eight ranks, plus the mountain, he used enough price in exchange for Jing Wuyang, who promised "At the last moment, I will make a move".
What's the matter, it's enough to coerce Zhang Chu to abdicate!
But I don't know how.
He saw that Zhang Chu still felt panicked in his heart.
"Chang'an!"
Zhang Chu finally spoke and called softly.
Yang Changan instinctively bowed down, and was about to respond, but immediately reacted again, Qingjun's face turned red all of a sudden, straightened up, looked directly at Zhang Chu with his neck bent, and said loudly: "My subordinates are here." ”
Zhang Chu said slowly: "You are also a handful of old people, why don't you know that you can eat indiscriminately and you can't sit indiscriminately?"
"Smack. ”
Before the words fell, he had a big mouth and threw it on Yang Changan's face like lightning!
The strength was so great that Yang Changan, who was unprepared on the spot, spun around in place and fell on an eight-rank master he had wooed.
He was directly stunned.
How dare Zhang Chu?
Why would he dare?
Is he an idiot with only muscles in his brain?
Or is he blind and can't see that there are still three eight-pins in this hall?
The other three eight products in the hall also looked at Zhang Chu dumbfounded.
They had long heard of Zhang Chu's domineering style, but now that they saw it, they found that Zhang Chu was ten times more domineering than they had heard!
For a moment, the lobby was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.
Zhang Chucai didn't bother to care what they thought.
If he goes back half a year, he may still be in the mood to accompany a few eight-grade fighters to see if he can accept him as a dog.
Right now?
Under the six products, they are all miscellaneous fish!
Trash fish should have the consciousness of trash fish!
If not, die!
With a cold face, he casually took out a silk sweat towel from his waist, slowly wiped Yang Changan's palm, and then casually threw the valuable silk sweat towel to the ground, and stretched out his hand back without looking back.
The mule immediately stepped forward with an arrow and gently placed the Cloud Shocking Knife in Zhang Chu's palm...... In the past, this kind of thing was done by Big Bear.
Zhang Chu took the shocking clouds, his eyes swept over the three miscellaneous fish, and said lightly: "The three of you, cut off one arm, you can live, if you dare to make a move, you will die!"
