Chapter 22 Hui Ming V
At noon, the women's door of Zhaojiabao brought food, Resarit disbanded the training team, and suddenly tens of thousands of reserve guards rushed to the meal, and finally lined up to receive the meal under the order of Resarit.
The guards on the arrow tower of the city wall also had people deliver food, but Wang Dan and the sixteen warriors were arranged by Zhao Zhijin to send good wine and food, and the people who delivered the food were a group of young girls, and what made Wang Dan's eyes light up was that the personal maid who looked like Luo Xiaoxue was also in the food delivery team.
"Huhuhu....... Several sturdy women worked together to bring the big wooden barrel containing rice to the top of the arrow tower, and the table and chairs were brought by the people, and then Yahuan Zhao Daya opened the vegetable box neatly and filled the whole table with dishes inside.
Zhao Daya set the dishes, then lowered her eyebrows and walked over to Wang Dan and said, "Your Excellency, please take a seat." ”
Wang Dan took up a chair and sat down, and beckoned to the sixteen warriors, saying, "Come and eat too." As she spoke, her eyes kept looking at Zhao Daya, and she lowered her head in shame.
The sixteen warriors thanked each other in unison, then each found a place to sit down, took off his helmet and set it aside, and ate and drank very casually, which is not much on the table in Calradian customs.
After a short time, the meal was finished, and Zhao Daya blushed and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and hurriedly left with the women.
Wang Dan peeked at Zhao Daya's figure disappearing at the staircase of the arrow tower, recalling that in that world, he could only look at which graceful figure from afar, in this world she turned out to be her own maid ring, the difference between Ya ring and his wife is as thick as a piece of paper.
The old society that thinks of all evils is only good at this point. Of course, if you want to live this kind of life, it also depends on whether you have this identity and ability, Wang Dan is also the lord of a castle now, and it is not a matter of words to want a girl.
Wang Dan's heart is itching. Suddenly, two short figures running out of the staircase woke Wang Dan, and the two half-grown children ran up to the tower and looked left and right curiously.
The little girl in yellow clothes is Zhao Xiaoya, who Wang Dan rescued from Hou Jin Bing, a cute child like a white porcelain doll, and the other figure is much stronger, it is Zhao Zhijin's grandson Zhao Xiaohu, and the half-grown person also has a bow and quiver on his body.
Wang Dan raised his face and asked the two children, "Why are you not well-behaved again?" It's dangerous here, get back to the fort. ”
Zhao Daya is the Yahuan of the Castle Lord's Mansion, and naturally lives in the Castle Lord's Mansion, and the young Zhao Xiaoya is also allowed to live in the Mansion with Zhao Daya.
Zhao Xiaoya's mouth pursed Lao Gao. There seemed to be tears in his eyes.
Zhao Xiaohu stepped forward and said to Wang with a bold fist, "Lord Castle, Xiaohu has asked to participate in the battle."
Wang Dan said in a brow, "I'm afraid it will take two years for your little body to participate in the battle." ”
Zhao Xiaohu was unconvinced, "Who said that you can't go to the battlefield when you're young!"
"Can you wield a shield and a spear?"
Zhao Xiaohu said depressedly, "Xiaohu can't hold a shield and a spear. But he said proudly to the king, "I can kill the enemy with a bow and arrow." ”
Wang Dan smiled and said to Zhao Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, if you want to fight with the vicious Tartar, you have to have a long body, you can take Xiaoya back first." ”
Zhao Xiaoya suddenly opened her mouth and cried. "Woo......!"
Wang Danqi said, "Why is the little girl crying?"
I only heard Zhao Xiaoya crying and saying, "The castle master is a big villain. It's just going to bully people, woo....... "It's like a little thrush crying crisply.
Wang Dan looked at this little tearful man in surprise, and asked with a slightly embarrassed wry smile, "Little girl talking nonsense, when did I bully someone?"
Zhao Xiaoya cried and cried, "Brother Xiaohu has been killed, he used his bow and arrow to shoot a lot of sparrows pecking in the field! Woo....... ”
Wang Dan had to patiently persuade Zhao Xiaoya, "Tartars are not rats, they are meant to kill. ”
Zhao Xiaohu shouted, "Don't look down on people, I'll shoot arrows for you." Then he took the bow he was carrying, and took an arrow from his quiver and put it on the bowstring. Finally, pull the bow hard and aim into the distance.
"Huh". Wang dared to look at Zhao Xiaohu in surprise, this kid was actually able to pull the cuo bow into a full moon. This hunting bow is a strong bow used by real hunters, but it is really speechless that this young man can pull it away.
Zhao Xiaohu's eyes stared around looking for a target, and suddenly he moved the arrow in one direction as if he had found something.
Wang Dan looked in the direction of the arrow, and it turned out that a large group of crows flew at some point, these crows may have been addicted to eating dead corpses, and they were scrambling to peck at the corpses of the Eight Banners at this moment.
Zhao Xiaoya stopped crying at this time, but clapped her hands and shouted happily, "Brother Little Tiger, shoot the crows, shoot them to death." ”
Zhao Xiaohu stared at the crow flock and pulled the bowstring a little tighter again, this serious look made Wang Dan no longer underestimate.
;“ Whoosh". A bowstring rattle.
An arrow flew like a meteor towards a flock of crows in the distance, and it actually pierced through two large crows, and suddenly the entire flock of crows hurriedly flew up and fled in all directions, and several of them flew past Wang Dan's head.
Zhao Xiaoya clapped her hands happily and shouted with a smile, "Castle Master, Brother Xiaohu's archery skills are too good. Zhao Xiaohu also looked at Wang Dan very proudly.
Wang Dan also thought that this young man's archery skills were good, and immediately said to Zhao Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, your archery skills are very good, go to the arrow tower to help defend the city, but pay attention to safety." ”
Zhao Xiaohu happily agreed, "Obey." Then he trotted into the turret to find an unmanned shooting hole and stood on guard.
Wang Dan moved his gaze to Zhao Xiaoya, and the little girl dared to hurriedly run to the arrow wall and pointed into the distance and shouted, "A lot of Tartars are cutting down trees. ”
Wang Dan was not moved by her voice, and coughed heavily, "Xiaoya is not going back yet." ”
When Zhao Xiaoya heard this, she could only turn around slowly, and it seemed that she wanted to use her tears to murder Dafa to deal with Wang Dan. But before he could squeeze out his tears, he screamed behind Wang Dan, and then said to Wang Dan, "I'm going back, lord of the castle." Then he hurried down the tower like a frightened fawn.
Wang Dan suddenly heard the crisp cry of a girl begging for mercy under the tower, and looked down curiously. I saw Zhao Daya twisting Zhao Xiaoya's ears with her hand and walking towards Zhaojiabao.
Unconsciously smiled, such a scene appeared in the bloody war-torn world, which made Wang Dan can't help but recall the peaceful life of his original world. Although it is ordinary and dull, it is true happiness to have a stable life and sleep peacefully every night.
The Tartars first built a strong camp, and then sent a team of patrol cavalry to surround Zhaojiabao.
Wang Dan looked at these enemies worriedly, they were cruising but not attacking, which made everyone in Zhaojiabao very nervous, and the people of the fort were talking to each other uneasily. Although he repeatedly warned himself to be calm, he couldn't control his panic, he was just an ordinary college student in the 21st century.
Suddenly, all sounds were gone. Wang Dan saw a black line appear on the distant horizon, expanding rapidly like a rising tide in the sea, and soon he could clearly see that it was the real Chinese army of the Qing army.
They wore yellow armor and rode fierce horses with lightning rods on their heads. The crowd was so dense that it covered the entire land. A full 50,000 cavalry approached Zhaojiabao neatly and slowly. Except for the sound of horses stomping neatly, the entire battlefield fell into a silent silence.
When the terrifying legion stopped at a distance of two hundred feet from Zhaojiabao, the people of Zhaojiabao finally recovered from the shock of the appearance of the huge Tartar army, and the guards on the city wall and the arrow tower shouted in panic, "The Tartar army has come to kill us!" - these fearful cries soon resounded in Zhaojiabao, and the women who were doing their work were so frightened that they hurriedly pulled their children to find a hiding place, and some of the guards with rudimentary weapons also looked left and right uneasily, as if they were looking for an opportunity to escape.
The fifty-six brocade guards in the crowd inside the fort were also whispering about the brutal Manchu troops outside, and the rain of arrows fired by the vanguard of the Qing army did not hurt them.
A brocade guard with an official position of one hundred households said to Zhang Qianzhong, "Lord of a thousand households. Now that we are surrounded by the army of the Eight Banners, please give us the order to take control of this people's fort. Then he ordered the people to fight the fort and the people of the fort to break through to Shanhaiguan. ”
The cronies of the hundred households also echoed, "Yes, those Jiannu outside will be slaughtered every time they break a city, and we can only survive if the people of this fort break through to Shanhaiguan before they die in battle, and with these 100,000 people, we will definitely be able to get to Shanhaiguan safely." ”
Zhang Qianzhong hesitated, "This castle and those leaders are very strange, can we make them obey orders!"
The hundred households looked left and right, and the people of Zhaojiabao had a look of fear on their faces, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, and then leaned into Zhang Quanzhong's ear and whispered, "Lord Qianhu, don't worry, you see that although these villagers who disobey the king's orders dare to fight with weapons and Jiannu, they are still my Ming people." As long as we spread some news that there are reinforcements in Shanhaiguan, I believe that we can force them to spontaneously break through to the pass. ”
Zhang Qianzhong glanced at Baihu, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement, "This method is feasible, but do you think those seventeen weirdos believe the news we say!"
Baihu sneered contemptuously, "In my opinion, that's just seventeen very tall country bulls, and I think it's armor when I make a set of iron plates! I'm not afraid of being embarrassed when I wear it so ugly, and I'm a hillbilly with little knowledge." ”
Zhang Qianzhong said to Baihu, "You bring a few people to do it, and I will ask for credit for you." ”
Baihu happily agreed, "Lord Xie Qianhu, I will take 20 brothers to get people." When he excitedly called the Venerable Master to march towards the arrow tower where Wang Dan was, he saw the seventeen camel-sized iron-clad war horses under the arrow tower, and suddenly he did not dare to move, and the armor worn by those horses was not like that made by the countrymen.
Baihu thought that although this place was outside the Guan, as long as the people of the Ming Dynasty should be afraid of the government, so they comforted their subordinates to themselves: "It's okay, we just went to announce the decree to the castle lord here, urging them to dare to lead the people of the castle to move to the Guannei, and only the people inside can be safe." ”
Saying these self-deceptive words, Baihu and his subordinates desperately tried to squeeze to the arrow tower where Wang Dan was.
However, the actions of him and his subordinates attracted the attention of the surrounding 10,000 guards, and the suspicious and vigilant eyes around them looked at Baihu and the others.
Hyakunhe smiled awkwardly, seeing that they were unmoved, he had to smile dryly and say what he had just said to the surrounding guards, and tried to move forward.
But the guards did not believe his words, and the picture shows that these natives of Liaodong Han know best the history of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Qianzhong felt that it was better not to cause trouble at this time, so he called Baihu Dao: "You better bring your brothers back, they won't go out." ”
Baihu returned to Zhang Qianzhong with his subordinates, and said to the chief Qianhu, "Please punish the sinister, the subordinates have not been able to complete the order." ”
Zhang Qianzhong sighed, comforted his subordinates who were eager to get out, and said, "The country is weak, Jiannu is fierce and unmatched, once we get out of the fort, we will have no power to fight back, this Zhaojiabao was able to kill more than a thousand Tartars last time, presumably it is also the result of the defense of the fort, we still have to settle down to see if this Zhaojiabao can repel the Tartars again." ”
The brocade guards whispered, "Yes," and then gazed apprehensively at the situation in the fort, and finally focused their gaze on the seventeen strange men in strange armor on the tower.
Wang Dan once again unconsciously thought with grief and indignation, "I was originally just a student, and I came to this troubled world inexplicably, and I have to face the most brutal Qing Eight Banners in this era, I am not wronged." ”
Wang Dan is not very scared now, Artiman combined with the experience of the Han people in building cities for thousands of years, and his own secret method of building in the Kara Continent, the thick city wall designed and built is not vegetarian, plus those arrow towers that assist in the defense of the city wall, he thinks that the Eight Banners Army will not be able to break through the defense of Zhaojiabao.
This optimism did not stop until the arrival of the rear team of the Qing army, because in the center of the rear team of the Qing army there were two things that looked very much like artillery models, it had clumsy wheels, and dozens of shirtless strong men pushed it to two miles away from Zhaojiabao before stopping.
Everyone's eyes on the battlefield were focused on the newly emerged artillery, and Wang Dan was a little curious about how powerful the earthen artillery of this era was compared to those machine guns and cannons in the 21st century.
A frightened voice suddenly sounded beside Wang Dan, "Red, red-clothed cannon, it's a red-clothed cannon!" Fort Lord, our Zhaojiabao is in danger this time!"
Wang Dan turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Zhijin, I don't know when he touched the arrow tower, at this moment his flustered appearance made Wang Dan disdainful for a while, isn't it an old antique earthen cannon.
Zhao Zhijin saw that Wang Dan was unmoved, so he had to explain to Wang Dan bitterly, "The lord of the castle has not heard of the prestige of the red-clothed cannon, it is said that this red-clothed cannon is a little fire, and if the sky is really broken, any city wall will be destroyed by it. Zhao Zhijin was muttering to himself repeating at this time, as if the sky was falling, and his whole face was full of despair.
Wang Dan heard the words of the red-clothed cannon, and his heart suddenly tightened, these two things seem to have appeared in the Lu Ding Ji, Wei Xiaobao is to use it to destroy Shenlong Island, so that the city wall of Zhaojiabao is not very dangerous.
At the same time, the fearful cries of many people who knew the red-clothed cannon sounded on the wall of Zhaojiabao, and they seemed to think that Zhaojiabao would not survive this catastrophe. (To be continued......)
