By the time Zhang Chong and everyone rushed to the wall of Xuejiawu, it was already afternoon.

Everyone rushed for a long time, and they were all hungry and panicked. But they were afraid that the Xue family would find out about the fire, so they all endured hunger.

But Zhang Chong signaled that everyone was fine, they should make a fire, and they should cook millet and cook millet.

Because people have already discovered them, it is useless to hide.

Things are just as Zhang Chong said, Xue Jiawang upstairs has long found that in the dense forest in the distance, a flock of birds does not fall, and he knows that there are people lurking in the forest, and there are quite a few.

So, he closed the gate early, and put four or five wooden fences outside the dock wall to keep away the horses.

The attic on the dock fort also sounded the alarm, signaling the apprentices who were working outside the village to hurry back to the dock wall, and there were thieves coming.

Zhang Dan and the others also listened to the bell, and only then did they make sure that everyone had been discovered, so they simply made a fire to cook honestly.

A few people went to fetch water in groups, and those went to fetch firewood together, and no one realized that they wanted to keep people on guard at the perimeter.

Zhang Chong shook his head helplessly.

He first asked Du Man to be responsible for organizing everyone, and then ordered Yang Mao, Wang Zhang, and Li Wu to be his personal guards.

shouted Chen Huan with crossbow arrows again, and walked to the perimeter to guard, and by the way, observe the wall of this Xue family's dock.

Du Man asked people to put down the materials on the horses and Sun Xun's remains, and motioned for Zhang Chong and the others to take the horses with them, which was also more convenient.

The little dad was going to accompany him, but he was persuaded by Zhang Chong.

After all, the Xue family is really coming out of the wall, and if the little father is here, it will be more dangerous.

As for the corpse of the old grandson, it will have been wrapped in a straw mat.

Zhang Chong didn't think about how to collect the burial before, whether to bury it on the spot, or cremate it and go back with the bones.

If you have a horse, take it with you first, and see how you get it later.

It's best to take it back to Dasangli, and it can be regarded as a thought for Old Man Sun's family.

Zhang Chong took a group of people and scattered outside the dense forest.

What can be seen outside the forest is a small wooden village, and if you look at it from the front, it is about 50 meters.

There were already a few people standing on the wall, pointing at Zhang Chong and them.

Zhang Chong was also observing this camp wall, not to say how strict it was, but it was certainly not something they could take down.

Disappointed, he withdrew with everyone and had dinner together.

And the other side didn't know where Zhang Chong's group came from, so they didn't chase it.

In fact, what Zhang Chong didn't know was that Lao Suo was a subordinate after all, and he didn't know much, so he only thought that the Xue family was a first-class countryman, but in fact, this family did have a way out.

This branch is after Meng Weigong, and this generation lives in Xue County.

Later, some clansmen became officials in Gaoping County, Shanyang County, and some clansmen moved here, also called Gaoping Xue.

His family background is a county official, and he is also a strong party.

But ten years ago, they had to flee here, and they were all implicated by one person, who was Zhang Jian, the county governor at that time.

Zhang Jian is also a disciple of 2,000 stones, and the Xue family and the Zhang family, as local wealthy families, naturally have a deep relationship.

But Zhang Jian has few great ambitions, and has always regarded himself very highly, and he has nothing to spare.

When he was lifted to Maocai, he just looked down on the master, and he couldn't help it.

Later, a Taishou came to Shanyang, named Zhai Chao, who was a first-class member of the Qing Dynasty. As soon as he came, he appointed Zhang Jian as the superintendent of the post, tested several counties, and checked the illegality.

However, as soon as Zhang Jian arrived, the clansmen who wrote to the eunuch Hou Lan violated illegal things in the local area and directly had a grudge with the eunuchs.

As a result, its owner, Zhai Chao, was directly imprisoned.

So Zhang Jian always wanted to find a chance to take revenge, and then he finally waited.

Ten years ago, that is, in the second year of Jianning, the country had just ascended the throne and wanted to build a mausoleum. And Hou Lan also felt that he had few days in spring and autumn, so he also overhauled the mausoleum in his hometown.

Hou Lan is a kind of person, naturally acting unscrupulously, building a mausoleum and constantly encroaching on other people's land, making the people's resentment boiling.

This time, Zhang Jian did not let go, and directly led the county officials to kill Hou Lan's house, killed his mother, and lost his wealth.

His guests were scattered, and he was tortured and killed by the party governors of other counties.

It can be said that this is a great martial struggle between the party members and the eunuch group.

This incident directly detonated the contradiction between the two.

The eunuchs headed by the Great Changqiu Cao Festival advised the state to arrest the party.

At that time, the country was young, and they didn't know what a party member was, so the eunuchs said succinctly that such people formed a party with each other, elected each other, and wanted to be a member of the society.

Now the country understands, so the sea catches the world's party members.

Li Ying, Fan Fan, Zhai Chao and more than 100 other old party members were willing to die, but Zhang Jian, who caused the disaster, fled.

And in the process of escaping, dozens of families who took him in were implicated. Sure enough, the only one who died through the ages.

As long as you live, what if someone else dies.

And their Xue family is the one who will be implicated by Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian had a doorman named Zhu He before, who was kicked out of the door by him and always wanted to take revenge.

Later, when Zhang Jian fell, he immediately exposed him and 24 people from his fellow villagers to form a party together.

And Xue Dun, the head of their Xue family, was implicated and imprisoned, and the clansmen could only move to hide in this mountain and water in order to avoid the eunuchs.

Alas.

The one who will look at the thieves in the dense forest in the distance from the watchtower is Xue Dun's younger brother, Xue Yu.

Now these more than 200 clansmen and guests are headed by him.

He has a little courage and is adept at bowing horses.

He thinks that he and his people are guarding the dock wall, even if there are a hundred and ten thieves, they can refuse.

When he saw the thief leaving, he and a few subordinates continued to stay on the watchtower to guard.

In a short time, smoke curled up from the dense forest in the distance, and the enemy was eating.

Xue Yu had read the book of soldiers and knew that full food was a precursor to battle. Therefore, Xue Yu immediately asked the clansmen in the village to prepare weapons.

The atmosphere was so heavy, and the Xue family was not from a martial arts background, and a few of them were already nervous to the point of trembling.

It is estimated that it is not constrained by the clan rules, and it may have run away a long time ago.

About half an hour later, Xue Yu suddenly saw a few people walking in the forest.

One of them, whom he also knew, was the homeless people from the nearby mountain sheds.

The homeless person shouted a few words from a long distance, but Xue Yu didn't hear it clearly.

He motioned to the people on the side, shouted to him, and asked him to come closer and make it clearer.

When the outcasts heard this, they were about to go in.

The young man beside him stopped suddenly, and then the two did not know what to say, and the wanderer walked in again.

When he walked to a place that was only fifty steps away from the dock wall, Xue Yu heard clearly.

It turned out that these mountain people were coming to borrow grain.

Joke, the grain that his Xue family just collected from them, how could he send it back.

And with these poor people, how can they afford it?

It's not like eating white food.

And from the meaning of the man's words, the group of people in the forest are mountain people, so it seems that there is nothing to guard against.

Surely he was going to draw his bow.

But just as he was about to, a little bean suddenly popped out, and he immediately grabbed his hand, whining and pleading.

Xue Yu fixed his eyes and saw that it was his attendant of the Sui Temple, Tian Dayong.

This child's name is big, but in fact he is less than five feet, and he is really three inches.

His father, oh, seemed to be the outcasts outside the Dock Fort, I said so familiarly.

When his father arrived that year, he didn't want to take it.

But then the boy showed an unusual bravery, not as tall as a horse, but sitting on a horse, carrying a spear like a fly.

He was amazed, so he accepted this person as his own temple and followed himself.

Xue Yu kicked Tian Dayong away and scolded:

"Unfamiliar slaves, tie me to the flagpole."

After speaking, he raised his bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow at the homeless people downstairs.

The man fell with a "careful" sound.

——————————————————

Zhang Chong found that this old man was really screwed.

He persuaded him several times not to come with him, but he still had to come.

also said that if he came to talk to the Xue family, he would definitely be able to borrow grain.

Zhang Chong had no choice but to bring him again, after all, there was a familiar one, which was more convenient.

After they finished eating, everyone packed up their baggage, tied Old Man Sun's remains to their horses sturdily, and walked out of the dense forest together, heading towards the dock wall of the Xue family.

Along the way, the old man said vigorously:

"The Xue family is good, some of us are attached to them, and we all say it's good."

Zhang Chong ignored him and walked out of the dense forest.

Lao Suo volunteered again, he patted his chest and said that he could borrow food.

Zhang Chong didn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do in the end, so he took Chen Huan and them to negotiate together.

At first, Lao Suo was far away, shouting a few words, but the other side didn't hear clearly, and then he had to step forward again.

Zhang Chong looked at the danger and reminded him not to go.

Who knew that Lao Suo pointed to a person on the dock wall and said:

"That man has some friendship with the old man, and it's all right."

As he spoke, he strode forward.

But who knew that the other side did not say anything, and raised his bow and arrow to shoot on the watchtower.

Zhang Chong just reminded Lao Suo to be careful, and Lao Suo glanced back at him, and was hit in the chest by an arrow shot from upstairs.

The old man was bleeding, looked at Zhang Chong with a smile, and fell.

Chen Huan and the others were shocked, and raised their shields to protect Zhang Chong away. Zhang Chong snatched the card and rushed to Lao Suo.

Lao Sue had already left with a smile on his face.

Why is he laughing?

Before Zhang Chong could think, the gate of the opposite village was wide open, and a knight rushed out with a vermilion horse lance, it was Xue Yu.

As soon as he finished shooting the arrow, he went down to the watchtower, asked people to open the door, removed the antlers, and charged at Zhang Chong and the others across the horse.

He believed that this kind of native chicken, grass mustard, and begging for a living, would collapse under his charge.

But who knows, as soon as he grabbed the horse lance and rushed thirty paces, a halberd flew over, and he narrowly avoided it, but it was a halberd that was stuck in his neck.

Xue Yu's eyes darkened, and he fell off his horse, stirring up a puff of dust.

Xue Yu, dead.

Zhang Chong ignored the pop-up window that popped up in the upper left corner: "Defeat Xue Yu and inherit his riding skills", and shouted for everyone to charge with him.

He wants to rush in before the gate is closed.

Zhang Chong took the lead, throwing out two halberds one after another, one left and one right in the middle of the guards on both sides.

The Xue clan in the village was shocked, and they were about to close the door in the chaos.

But then a burst of crossbow arrows was fired, and Chen Huan held his hand and accurately killed the Xue clan people in front of the walled gate.

The front door was empty.

In this way, Zhang Chong took Yang Mao and other swordsmen and crashed into the dock wall, and then Heifu and Ding Sheng took Zhang Dan and others to kill in.

Xue's Dock Fort, broken!

Defeat the Xue Clan's armed forces, defeat the Xue Clan's disciples, capture the Walled Gate, occupy the watchtower, seize the Sucang, and occupy the arsenal.

Except for a few people who fled, the Xue clan was all dismissed and awarded.

A hearty battle, over.
