Chapter 54

Before the night came, the group finally arrived at Fangjiazhuang, at this time Fangjiazhuang had already got the news of the defeat in front, the village was nervous, the gate was closed, and the villagers were on the wall.

Fang Juren saw Wu Chuanyu bring his two nephews back, but relieved, this time the squires sent troops, the other teams were all exhausted, only Wu Chuanyu and his party ran back, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, Zhuang Zhong saw his family come back, there will be cheers, there are many people crying, that is the loss of the family, Wu Chuanyu walked in the streets of Fangjiazhuang, saw the reunion of the family and cried, lost the family, then called the name of their brother and son in the team, if they can't find it, the voice becomes desolate, but people always refuse to give up hope, although the long call is fruitless, but still keep going through the team, hoping to see their loved ones.

Wu Chuanyu saw a woman, shuttling in the line of adults, calling her son's name, the woman has been calling for a long time, and no one has responded for so long, presumably her son died in the battle array, Wu Chuanyu saw the urgency on the woman's face, and couldn't bear it, thinking that he had taken them up, and a wave of self-blame rose in his heart.

The woman shouted for a long time to no avail, and saw Wu Chuanyu wearing a cotton armor standing in front of the team, recognizing that he was the adjutant leading the team, and immediately ran to Wu Chuanyu, regardless of her thin body and her head could not reach Wu Chuanyu's neck, she stretched out a pair of rough hands, grabbed Wu Chuanyu's collar, and shouted: "Where is my water, what about my water, you liar, you clearly said that it would be fine, why is my water gone, my water is there, you return my water......" When Wu Chuanyu left, he was reluctant to see a large group of people say goodbye to his relatives, so he preached that the battle would be won when he sent out the troops, and casually said that everyone should not worry, but he didn't expect that the people who came back now would not be one out of ten, and he really slapped himself in the mouth.

More people rushed over and grabbed Wu Chuanyu, asking for his father and son, Wu Chuanyu is strong in martial arts, and he can easily throw the woman holding his collar in front of him into the river, but he saw the sad look on the faces of these people, but he couldn't get down.

When the crowd saw that Wu Chuanyu was silent, they boiled, and spit on Wu Chuanyu's face, and Wu Chuanyu didn't fight back, letting these people who had lost their families beat and scolded.

An old man shouted: "It's all you, it's all you, what kind of battle did the old man fight, and the militia didn't come to fight us, whoever sits in the world doesn't want to farm, whoever fights for the world to do anything to us, if it weren't for you, my son wouldn't be gone, you scourge." ”

Seeing that Wu Chuanyu didn't reply, everyone became even more angry, and countless saliva rotten eggs flew towards Wu Chuanyu, as if Wu Chuanyu had killed these many people.

When the crowd was boiling, a voice was suddenly heard: "Enough, get out of the way for me." People turned around and saw that it was Zhang Jiayu who had just woken up, and the people of the village saw Zhang Jiayu wearing armor, although he was bleeding, but his official spirit did not change, and he was obviously an official master, and his voice was much quieter.

An old man plucked up his courage, stepped forward and pointed at Zhang Dingyu and said, "Who are you, he killed my son, and I want him to pay for his life." Zhang Jiayu sneered a few times, didn't say much, and with a knife crossed, the old man's hand made him cut off, and the blood flew, the old man screamed, and the crowd dispersed.

Zhang Jiayu said: "This official is an official of the court, you dare to be disrespectful, cut off one of your hands, and give you a small lesson, why don't you get out of here, do you want to fill the army?"

Zhang Jiayu stepped forward and said: "There are immortal people in the war, don't take this responsibility on yourself, we are just chess pieces." ”

Wu Chuanyu went to his house.

When he walked to the door of his house, he saw that Mother Long was coming out, so he stopped Mother Dragon and asked, "Mother Dragon, is Ming Toma okay, is there anything wrong?"

Mother Long said politely: "Uncle Hu don't worry, Madame slept well and ate well today, and there is nothing to do." ”

Wu Chuanyu breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Mother Long, a smile appeared on her face, and muttered to herself: "As long as she is good, I will rest assured." ”

He quietly walked to Shui Mingtao's room, and saw that Shui Mingxiang was sleeping, looking extremely quiet, and there was indeed nothing to do, seeing all this, Wu Chuanyu showed a smile on his face, and felt that what he did was meaningful.

On the other hand, Mother Long walked out of the courtyard and met Fang Juren's sister, that is, Mrs. Hu brought back by Wu Chuanyu from the Hu family a few days ago, Mother Long saluted, Miss Fang supported Mother Long, and said: "Is Mrs. Hu Yingying's wife okay today? Hu Yingying went out to fight today, leaving Mrs. Hu alone at home, presumably Mrs. Hu Yingying's wife must be anxious." ”

Mother Long said: "Miss, don't worry, this Hu Yingying's wife ate well and slept well today, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Miss Fang said: "That's good, Hu Yingying can be regarded as a meritorious person today, bringing Ying Hu Yingchen back, the other country's Xiangyong is not one who has not returned, only Hu Yingying has brought back some people, Ying Hu Yingchen will not lead troops, it is difficult for Hu Yingying, we can take care of his family, and it is the only thing we can do for him." ”

Mother Long said: "Miss, the old body feels strange, this Hu Yingying's wife is too calm, I heard that after Hu Yingying went out to fight, she was not in a hurry at all, as if, as if she didn't care at all." ”

Miss Fang said: "Probably Mrs. Hu is relieved of Hu Yingying." ”

Mother Long said: "Miss, the old body understands the woman's mind the most, this Mrs. Hu, this Mrs. Hu, I'm afraid I don't take Hu Yingying too seriously." ”

Miss Fang thought about the fragment, frowned, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you can't get close, maybe there are some other things between the two that we don't know." ”

Mother Long saluted and retreated, Miss Fang looked out of the courtyard, and saw Wu Chuanyu slipping into the guest room, he was light-footed, for fear of disturbing Shui Mingfu.

Miss Fang frowned, waved her sleeves, and walked away with the servants.

Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu, who was wounded, walked along Fangjiazhuang, and the two discussed the depth of the river, the current, the protection of the beach, the protection of the village, and the fighting ability of Zhuang Ding.

The one in front was followed by Fang Juren, and Fang Juren interjected from time to time to ask some questions on the battle array, and Wu Chuanyu would answer immediately, after all, this was his owner, and Fang Juren also supported Wu Chuanyu.

The news of the past two days is more clear, after the defeat a few days ago, the left front guard immediately let the militia cavalry capture, Hu Quan immediately moved to the left front guard, and then sent people to chase and kill the rout, more than a dozen small Zhuangzi small forts were broken by the militia one by one, several people, students, and squires were caught by the militia, Hu Quan caught these squires, immediately chased the money, chased the property of these squires, and after chasing, these squires were hanged.

Se Gongzi immediately used the method of opening a warehouse to release grain, recruiting more people, and now the militia has coaxed more than 100,000.

Fang Juren's face is not good-looking, the style of these rogue militiamen, in the eyes of a scholar like him, is a manifestation of the destruction of the world and the loss of morality and etiquette, but thinking of the more than 100,000 rogue militia, as well as the defeat a few days ago, he has to consider from reality, he has already sent people to send a generous gift to the rogue militia, hoping that the other party will not come to fight Fangjiazhuang.

At this time, a family member ran over and shouted: "Master, master, it's amazing, the army of the demon sect demon has just broken through Hujiabao, and Hujiabao is all in trouble, and Mrs. Hu has let the demon demon car split." Corpses are not to be collected. "The family was so loud that many people heard it.

Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled, Hujiabao's defense was much better than Fangjiazhuang's, how could it be captured by the Liumin militia so quickly, it was unreasonable.

In the left front guard, the soldiers are strictly forbidden, and the sergeants come and go, among which there is no shortage of armor wearing double armor, divided into 20 people and a team, and are patrolling back and forth.

The left front guard is a military guard since the founding of the country, when the country was founded, there were tens of thousands of garrisons, but then after a long period of peace, it was slowly abandoned, the current left front guard, can no longer be stationed in the army of the demon sect, Hu Quan only transferred the elite warriors to fight.

In the meeting hall of this military tun, Se Gongzi sat at his head, and the person below was Deng Dezhi, who was kneeling on the ground, and on one side were Hu Quan, Hu Haima, and many generals. The Qin bandits and a group of civil officials were also on the side.

Se Gongzi said with a smile: "General Deng broke Hujiabao with only 800 people, what a great achievement, Elder Qin, how to reward it." ”

Qin Bandit said with a smile: "The hundreds of women captured this time must be picked by General Deng first, and in other places, everyone has seen General Deng's ability to lead the army, which can be of great use." ”

Se Gongzi said with a smile: "That's right, General Deng, in the future, you will lead an army alone, so that you can display your talents." ”

It turned out that Deng Dezhi took advantage of the opportunity of the defeat of the officers and soldiers a few days ago, and mixed the elite armored soldiers into the township soldiers, just mixed into Hujiabao, a few days ago Deng Dezhi suddenly sent troops, taking advantage of the night soldiers under Hujiabao, raising fire as a number, the people inside saw Deng Dezhi coming, killed the guard of the fort gate, opened the gate, and set fire everywhere, poor Hujiabao is also a big fort of tens of thousands of people, the fort Ding saw the fire in the fort, thought that the demon demon had killed the generals, and had no intention of resisting, they abandoned their weapons and fled, Deng Dezhi captured Hujiabao with dissatisfaction with thousands of people, and captured the new castle lord and the person in charge of Hujiabao, the color prince was overjoyed when he saw it, and beheaded Hujiabao and others, Now the demon sect demons are moving food and recruiting troops and horses in Hujiabao, which can be regarded as a big fortune.

Hu Haima, who was on the side, saw Deng Dezhi's meritorious service, and also stepped forward and said: "The little one is willing to lead troops to attack Fangjiazhuang and make another contribution to the Lord." ”

Se Gongzi also intends to divide the power of Hu Quan, the reason why he gave Deng Dezhi the division of troops is also to divide Hu Quan's military power, although he trusts Hu Quan, but he will not give him the power to command the army completely, the power in people's hands is great, and the mind will always be different.

Seeing Hu Haima competing for merit below, Se Gongzi was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Hu, General Hu is also a good general, and I am about to make meritorious service for me, and now I will divide 5,000 soldiers and horses, and General Hu, I hope that the general will pass on the good news as soon as possible." "Of course, the five thousand soldiers and horses here are separated from the cannon fodder.

Hu Quan also said: "Lord, although there are many light soldiers who dare to die, after all, they are unbearable to fight, and the small request is to give Hu Haima 500 armored soldiers and 200 cavalry, and General Hu will obtain Fangjiazhuang for our army." Se Gongzi pondered for a while, and saw Hu Quan fighting for Hu Haima's soldiers and horses, he was worried that the relationship between Hu Haima and Hu Quan was too deep, and he was worried that Hu Haima would only remember Hu Quan's benefits in the future, and not himself, but he thought that he could divide the troops from Hu Quan's hands clearly, or he opened his own mouth, this opportunity is extremely rare, compared with the two, it is better to divide a group of armored soldiers from Hu Quan's hands, so he said: "It's so good, according to what you say." Hu Haima was overjoyed and took the order.

At this time, an armored soldier below stepped forward and said, "Lord, the envoy of the Fang family is here, asking to meet the Lord." Se Gongzi's face sank, he didn't have time to see these squire's envoys now, thinking about breaking Zhuangzi, isn't everything his own? Thinking that Hujiabao is also extremely difficult to capture, but under the strategy, it was captured in one day, and it didn't take much time to attack this Fangjiazhuang.

He waved his hand and said, "Kill the people, and leave the belongings." Hu Quan below couldn't bear it, and wanted to give advice, but the Qin bandit pulled him back, and the matter of killing the messenger, Se Gongzi didn't care much about it, so he cut it down happily.

Se Gongzi smiled: "Gentlemen, let's see how the dance is enjoyable." Between the clapping, a team of beauties came up, dressed in light yarn, these women were snatched from all over the world these days, and were trained by Li Hongniang to be the playthings of the color boy.

Everyone stopped talking about military affairs, and everyone in this hall knew that Se Gongzi didn't like to discuss military affairs at this time, so they all kept their mouths shut, even if they were like Hu Quan and Deng Dezhi, they pretended to be happy, as if they were addicted to it.

In Fangjiazhuang, a family member rushed back crying, this is one of the family members sent by Fang Juren to give gifts.

After Fang Juren learned the news, his face turned blue, and now there is news that none of the people in Hujiabao have survived, as an enemy of the enemy, maybe he would be happy because of the destruction of Hujiabao before, but now he is not happy at all, and he will be the next one.

Fang Juren's sister walked out of the hall and gently walked in front of her brother, Fang Juren saw that her sister's face was sad, and she knew that she was unhappy about Hujiabao's affairs, so she said: "Don't be too sad, Hujiabao is not worthy of your concern." Miss Fang said: "Brother, what are you going to do next?" Fang Judao: "Take your family overnight, pack up the softness, and our family will leave, although it is a pity that these family assets are lost, but it is always better than not having a life." Miss Fang looked at her brother's face, and finally made up her mind: "Brother, now, we can't leave, there are hundreds of people in the Fang family, how can we leave, even if we get rid of some people, the ancestral hall of the clan is destroyed, what is the face of my brother to see the ancestors underground." "Miss Fang knows that her brother attaches the most importance to filial piety, and she uses the words of the Baozong Ancestral Hall to impress her brother.

Miss Fang said again: "Now there are dozens of old people in the Chinese family in the fort, how can they travel long distances, there are hundreds of children of the Fang family in the fort, how can they escape the pursuit of the demon sect demons, there are countless women and children in the castle now, after they come to the army of displaced people, my brother has thought about what kind of fate they will be?" Miss Fang's words suddenly made Fang Juren stop, and his thoughts of escaping were a little lighter.

Miss Fang said: "Brother, my family has been loyal for several generations, only I want to keep festivals but I have no festivals to keep, how can the children and grandchildren of my family value their lives, ignore righteousness, abandon women and children, and seek to live alone." Brother and sister would rather die here, rather than run for their lives under the demon butcher's knife. ”

Fang Juren's face changed, and he said, "Why don't I think about it, it's just how to resist the demon sect with the power of one village, and the demon sect has 100,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Miss Fang said: "Brother, there are 2,000 Zhuang Ding in the village now, and there are more experts in commanding troops like Hu Zhuangshi and Zhang Baihu, as well as grain and grass and thousands of stones, and countless armor and weapons, why can't you fight with the demons." Fang Juren's face changed, and he finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, that's right, it's just that I will send a few close sons and nephews away, and I will stay here alone to fight with the demon sect demons, and my sister will not die here." ”

Miss Fang said with a smile: "Brother, how can my sister be an only child, and my sister still has to see my brother's big demon soldiers." Fang Judao: "It's a pity that I have read the books of sages for half my life, but I don't attach much importance to military affairs. Miss Fang said: "Brother, don't worry, there is no shortage of strong men in the castle, and my brother only needs to be in the center." ”

The two said some other things, and discussed sending the nephew away, after speaking, they walked out of the hall, turned a few corners, and saw Wu Chuanyu, Zhang Jiayu and some recruited Jianghu guests and soldiers waiting in the courtyard, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward and said: "Thank you Miss, if it weren't for Miss, I'm afraid that the people of this Zhuangzi will rush to escape." Miss Fang said: "Hu Zhuangshi's words, the defense of the village will depend on Hu Zhuangshi and Zhang Baihu, and I hope that the two of them will bring more sons and nephews in the clan, they used to study more literature, and in the martial arts and art of war, they are all regarded as inferior products, such as today's catastrophe, Fang knows the weight of the military." Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu both said: "It will definitely live up to Miss's expectations." ”

It turned out that the militia killed the messenger who gave gifts, and after the news of the arrival of the troops, the people of Zhuangzhong were panicked, and saw that Hujiabao was broken, everyone thought of running, Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu were pressed for a long time, and then it was rumored that Fang Juren would also run away, and suddenly people's hearts floated, and the two couldn't, and then Wu Chuanyu thought of Miss Fang who he had seen once, and the two of them asked to see each other, and pleaded with Miss Fang, and begged Miss Fang to go to Fang Juren to say the item, and finally won Fang Juren's perseverance.

At the moment, the two of them went to arrange, the two of them drove out the collection of more than 20 ballistas, took out the Zhang Qiang bow that Fang Juren bought, selected shooters and crossbowmen from Zhuang Ding, and ordered the strong women in the village to build a wall, and strive to raise the ridge on the side of the river, Zhang Jiayu suggested that Zhuangzhong implement the method of 20 families sitting together, and Wu Chuanyu wanted to arrange the people who were not suitable for battle, and set up a fire fighting team, emergency team, investigation team, etc., Zhuangzhong was nervous, waiting for a big battle.

Within two days, Zhuang Zhong was busy, Fang Juren supported Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu's decision, thanks to Miss Fang, many things, such as the implementation of the method of twenty families to sit and protect the armor, they needed the support of Fang Juren, or Miss Fang went to say, these things can be implemented, Wu Chuanyu admires Miss Fang very much, a woman, invincible, compared to many men, I don't know where to go.

Zhang Jiayu originally had more than a dozen personal soldiers, Zhang Jiayu sent out his own personal soldiers one after another, and practiced Zhuang Ding every day, although the time was too short, and he could not train into the kind of elite soldiers under his own hands before, but compared to before, it was already too strong, and it was no longer a rabble.

Within two days, it was safe.

On the third day, Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu were at the gate of the village, at this time the village was very different from the previous two days, with the full support of Fang Juren, the situation changed greatly, and the village was already like a military camp.

Wu Chuanyu looked at the river and said, "Brother Zhang, why don't you learn the ancient art of war, store water upstream, and dig a dike to release water when the other party's soldiers bravely cross the river." ”

Zhang Jiayu said: "This method is very good, but it is difficult to implement, I went to see the upstream two days ago, if you want to store water, I am afraid that it will take five days, so the other party can not wait for this time." Wu Chuanyu also said: "And the other party's commanders and generals must be mediocre." Zhang Jiayu said: "That's right, the last time we fought on the riverbank, both our army and the enemy checked the terrain in advance, and they did this if they didn't collect it at night. Wu Chuanyu said: "That's true, among the wandering militia, there are people who know the soldiers, the last time I saw the other party kill the deserters, I knew that the other party's general was a first-class general in the world." Zhang Jiayu was also silent. Last time, it was precisely because of the contempt for the rogue militia that he suffered a big defeat, and I thought that the generals of the other side would never fall for such a superficial strategy.

As the two were talking, they saw a large group of chaotic people rushing towards this side, these people were helping the old and the young, carrying burdens and luggage, and there were many women and children in the middle, who were walking south, and some people saw the Zhuangzi on this side, and ran towards this side.

Wu Chuanyu did not destroy the stone bridge into the village, this group of people took the old man, ran to the bottom of the Zhuangzi, looked at the number of people, about hundreds, there were many old people and children in the middle, and women, a group of people arrived at the Zhuangzi, an old man shouted: "Fang Juren, Fang Dashan man, let us in, we haven't eaten for a few days." Behind them, a large group of women and children shouted in unison, and some children knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the women also knelt down, and it was really touching to cry blood.

Wu Chuanyu was still hesitating, but Zhang Jiayu said: "In order to prevent spies, don't put them in, quickly drive them all away." Wu Chuanyu thought about it, but this is really the truth, if you put in the spies, it is really not good, so he said: "Give them some food, ask them to leave quickly, don't stay in front of this village." Fang Yinghu and the others also listened to Wu Chuanyu, so they ordered to drive people out.

At this time, the cry of a cadre finally attracted the attention of the people inside, and several mothers-in-law helped a young woman up the wall, which was Fang Juren's sister, Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu were extremely respected.

Fang Yingchen stepped forward and said, "Auntie, this group of homeless people is coming, Zhang Baihu ordered me to drive them away?" Miss Fang arrived at the chopping side, and saw a group of homeless people shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground, many children kowtowing on the ground, and the woman crying and shouting inside, Miss Fang saw this scene, and couldn't bear it, so she said: "Seeing that they are only hundreds of people, Hu Zhuangshi and Zhang Baihu, let them in." Zhang Jiayu was about to argue, Wu Chuanyu grabbed Zhang Jiayu and arched his hand: "What Miss said is very true, we will open the door, but how to place this group of people after opening it must be decided by Zhang Baihu." Miss Fang said: "As long as they can be kept alive, Zhang Baihu and Hu Zhuangshi can do it." Wu Chuanyu ordered his subordinates to do it.

Seeing Miss Fang and a group of mother-in-law and maids going downstairs, Zhang Jiayu said: "Why are you, don't you know that this group of people may have problems?" Wu Chuanyu said: "I don't know, it's just that the two of us can order a ban in Fangjiabao, it's all the work of Miss Fang's support, don't make her look bad in front of these people." Zhang Jiayu thought for a while and said, "How is that good?" Wu Chuanyu said: "Now, it's okay if they are not spies, if they are spies, let them have no return, we just need to be like this." ”

After the two finished discussing, Wu Chuanyu drew two killer teams from upstairs, and took this group of homeless people to the field of practice a few days ago, Wu Chuanyu said: "Listen well, you can take refuge in Fangjiazhuang, it is all Master Fang's mercy, Miss Fang's kindness, you can't walk around, only in this case, if you go around and startle the army, you will be killed." The surrounding sergeants shouted loudly for a while, and the sound shook the sky, and these homeless people trembled with fright, and they all said, "Don't dare." Wu Chuanyu ordered a team of Zhuang Ding to guard it, and then returned to the wall.

In this day, the wandering militia still did not come, thinking that in these days, the wandering militia broke through more than a dozen large and small Zhuangzi, which is to seize the war materials, and there must be no time to come.

Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu did not relax.

Fang Yingzhi is a child of the clan, but he didn't do well in the exam, he was in his twenties, and he was still a child, mainly because Xiucai was not admitted, it seems that he can only run a family property like this, and it is impossible to enter the office, a few days ago Zhang Jiayu saw that he was decisive, so he asked him to be a killer captain, in charge of a team of Zhuang Ding, today he has finished his shift, and he is about to go downstairs to go home, and he doesn't want to just get downstairs, so he sees Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu waiting for him downstairs.

For these two people, Fang Yingzhi still thinks it's good, but that Zhang Baihu has a bigger temper, and that Hu Zhuangshi is still very capable, and the village is well organized these days, thanks to this Hu Zhuangshi, and this Hu Zhuangshi is also good at talking.

I saw that the brothers who were going to change their guards and go back to sleep were all standing under the wall, and they didn't leave, and the brothers who came on duty also came, hundreds of people stood under the wall, only with torches, and everyone didn't make a sound.

Zhang Jiayu said: "The spies have mixed in, do the people of the Demon Sect think that we don't know how they broke through Hujiabao? We have known for a long time, the people who came today are mixed with the Demon Sect demons, and the Demon Sect demons must set fire to the village tonight, and at the same time the soldiers from outside the village attacked, this set is all used in the old way, but it is used on my Zhang Jiayu, I really don't know how to die, tonight we will completely annihilate the Demon Sect military horses, people are not allowed to disarm, are you clear." Several killer captains and archer captains all agreed, Zhang Jiayu waved his hand and said, "Everyone has bamboo in their mouths, we will kill demons now." The Zhuang Ding divided into teams and quietly walked towards the school grounds.

There were hundreds of homeless people in the school field, they had no quilts, they could only lie on the ground, and they couldn't see any difference at this time.

A killer captain came to Zhang Jiayu and said, "Zhang Baihu, I haven't seen any changes." Zhang Jiayu sneered and said, "Didn't you arrive at the time?" a killer captain said: "It's still some time away." Zhang Jiayu said: "They are going to launch it at the time of the child, I have interrogated the displaced people in detail in the past few days, and I already knew that Hujiazhuang was broken in this way." At that moment, the captains lay down, waiting for an order, and the killing generals went in.

At this time, Wu Chuanyu, who was on the wall, suddenly saw countless torches lit on the opposite side, so he said to his subordinates: "It seems that the other party has really launched, and all departments have listened to the order and launched it immediately." ”
