"Looks like ...... You've seen it thoroughly. Shen Zhuliang smiled.

"No...... It's not thorough. Shen Lang said with a wry smile, "I really don't understand what his purpose is in doing this, except for a good reputation, it doesn't seem to be of any practical benefit to himself." ”

"Well, it's actually a matter of pattern. Shen Zhuliang glanced at the army that was still being prepared, and said to Shen Lang, "While there is still a little time here, I will tell you what the 'pattern' is." ”

Shen Lang grabbed a ball of snow, wiped it on his ears, and then saluted respectfully and said, "Listen to your ears." ”

Shen Zhuliang nodded with satisfaction, waited for Shen Lang to finish his salute, and then said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's very simple, let me ask you first, if the nobles of the Chu State are really as Qu Xie hoped, then who is the most beneficial?"

Shen Lang replied without hesitation: "It is the civilians of the Chu State, because their lives will be guaranteed because of this. ”

"What about the other than civilians?" Shen Zhuliang continued to ask.

"And ...... And also...... And the entire Chu State?!!" Shen Lang looked at Shen Zhuliang in shock, revealing an expression of disbelief, "Is he actually thinking about the strength of the Chu State?"

The nobles are selfish and greedy, they don't care about the Chu country, even if they are virtuous among the nobles, there are even nobles who are dedicated to the country, and this person is still one of the three nobles?!

"It's called 'pattern'. Shen Zhuliang looked at his nephew with a smile and slowly explained in detail for him,

"Qu is one of the three surnames of Chu State, and it is the strongest nobleman of Chu State, even in the entire Central Plains countries, there are few nobles who can be compared with Qu, and they have stood at the top of the nobility of Chu State. Except for becoming kings, they have no further space in the land of Chu......"

Shen Lang followed Ye Gong's words and continued: "Therefore, Qu Xie will make the Chu State strong as the family's goal, only by making the Chu State stronger, encroaching on more land, and plundering more people, will they have the opportunity to go further...... What a lofty gaze?!"

The last exclamation, Shen Lang almost said in an exclamatory tone.

"If you are the patriarch in charge of a huge family, this kind of lofty gaze is what they must have, and you can't just look at the small profit in front of you, and lose hope for further progress, I hope you can remember. ”

Shen Zhuliang's hint is already very obvious, almost a naked explicit.

"Yes!" Shen Lang didn't change, just bowed his head respectfully.

Calm, calm, and not frightened are the necessary qualities of an elite aristocrat.

But after a moment, he looked up a little strangely and asked, "But...... Why would such a wise Qu Xie do such an extremely unwise and stupid thing as imprisoning the king and tearing the Chu Kingdom apart?"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were no successful cases of "Xia Ke Shang" rebellion, but the more famous ones were all in the Warring States Period, when the "etiquette collapsed and the bad music was broken" was more intense.

For now, the royal families of all countries are resisting this kind of subterfuge, and even as long as the existing royal families are still breathing, the royal families of other countries will help them recover.

In other words, even if the king of Chu is killed by Qu Xie, Yingdu will also be controlled by Qu Xie, but as long as Xiong Gongzi does not die, then Chu will have the opportunity to restore the country with the help of allies and the power of Qin.

After all, once a certain courtier is given a "bad head" by a certain courtier, how will the kings of the countries treat their most capable and powerful courtiers?

Most of them will have trouble sleeping and eating, for fear that when they wake up, the country is not their own.

If there are really huge ambitions, the most appropriate way is to simply create a separate country.

Just like King Chu Wu back then, if he has the strength to compete in the Central Plains, he simply calls himself the king, and he doesn't need to give face to the old owner Zhou Tianzi, he is tough and tough against him, even if he is beaten, he has the ability to fight back.

And today's Qu clan obviously does not have the strength, ability, and courage of King Chu Wu back then.

Those who steal the country will eventually be punished by the royal family and the three clans.

"That's one of the reasons why I'm attacking Danyang. The reason may be hidden in the Qu family. Shen Zhuliang looked at the army that was gradually reorganized, and said to Shen Lang, "Get ready, we are going to start attacking the city." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Lang took out a red and black flag from the bag he was carrying behind him, with the word "car" written on it, and then stood on the high commander's carriage and shouted to the non-commissioned officers below:

"Siege according to the original plan!Prepare the flame car to create space for the ladder!"

The red and black flags were waved, and then like dominoes, one after another waved one after another, conveying orders to every team.

"Boom!"

A row of soldiers at the front lit the cart in front of them, and the hot flames burned on the cart, billowing smoke.

"Quick! charge!" Shen Lang's command flag immediately waved.

He knew that no matter how fast he moved, the smoke of the flame cart could not be concealed, and this was the only flaw in this plan, which was very likely to arouse the vigilance of the guards on the city wall of Danyang.

At such times, for every minute of delay, there is a risk of losing a soldier.

"Huh!"

The soldier pushing the flame cart let out a loud cry and quickly rushed towards the zombie horde under the city wall.

Behind them was a group of well-armed sword and shield soldiers, as well as chariots with ladders, and behind the chariots, followed by a group of lightly armed first camps, whose task was the most important, responsible for the siege.

1,000 first camps, 10 chariots, 1,000 flame carts, 3,000 sword and shield soldiers, a total of 6,000 elite soldiers, no more, no less, each soldier has his own mission, and has already practiced countless times.

The battle ended much faster than expected.

Although the combat power of zombies far exceeds that of ordinary people, and they are not afraid of death, they have no obvious weaknesses, but they have an instinctive fear of flames, and they cannot break the armor of the sword and shield soldiers.

Although Sword and Shield Soldiers do not have the ability to kill zombies, they do not need to destroy zombies either.

The vanguard who opened the way, pushing the flame cart, quickly drove the zombies under the city wall and cleared an open space.

The sword and shield soldiers followed, forming a protective circle with three layers of semi-circular formation, the shields raised high to prevent the zombies from entering, and the sword and shield soldiers in the second row could swing their long swords from the gap and slash the limbs of the zombies.

The chariot followed closely behind to the corner of the wall, and in the clearing, ladders were set up directly on the wall.

By the time the guards of the city wall in Danyang found out, the first camp with a thousand tough leather armor and light movements had already firmly controlled the city head and opened the city gate for the large army under the city wall.

It was impossible for the city wall guards in Danyang to imagine that someone would dare to launch such a near-fatal siege on a snowy day and surrounded by a large number of zombies.

Aren't they afraid of death?

I'm afraid, but it's obvious that Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang was right.

The city guards of Danyang really did not expect that someone would attack the city at such a time, and they were very "cooperative" and defenseless.

While resisting the zombies, Ye Jun entered the city gate, fought and retreated, and the burning cart formed a semicircle around the city gate, so that the loss did not dare to approach.

"Bang!"

When the last group of soldiers entered, the gates were tightly shut.

At this point, the half-hour siege of Danyang came to an end, and all the six thousand leaves army entered Danyang, and then it was the most troublesome, street battle with Qu's private army.

In Danyang City, there are not only the nobles of the Qu family, but also other nobles who are attached to the Qu family, large and small, and their private armies of all sizes add up to at least twenty or thirty thousand people, which is also quite tricky to deal with.

Moreover, the movement of the siege just now was so big, most of the people in the city had already received the news, and the fact that there was not a single resident of the empty city here was the best proof of this.

"Returning to Ye Gong!" Shen Lang finished counting the soldiers, and immediately came to Shen Zhuliang's face, and reported, "Six thousand elite soldiers, not one is missing, all of them have entered Danyang City!

"Don't be in a hurry to deal with the group of nobles of the Qu clan first. Shen Zhuliang said to Shen Lang, "Seal all the four gates of Danyang with debris and stones, don't give them a chance, and catch turtles in an urn by the way." ”

"Yes!" Shen Lang had no objection to this.

The aristocrats are a bunch of people with no moral bottom line, and they can do far more things than you can imagine, and maybe they will threaten to open the city gates and make everyone fall into the trap.

If you want to deal with them, you have to do more than they do.

................................................

Behind a hillside outside Pengcheng, just enough to avoid the sight of the patrolling soldiers on the walls of Pengcheng, it was an excellent stronghold.

At this time, the public brigade and others began to prepare for the starting formation, first of all, the chariots equipped with flamethrowers, there were one every sixteen meters, forming a sparse circle, guarding against zombies coming from all directions.

Then there are eighty civilian carriages, which are filled in the space between the vehicles, so that every four civilian carriages there will be a tank with a flamethrower.

After setting up the car formation, directly untie the reins of the horses and let them return to Jumuyi by themselves, as for how many can return to Jumuyi, it can only depend on fate.

However, the old horse knows the way, where to find food on a snowy day, and the smart and quite psychic horse should know how to choose.

One hundred carriages are connected end to end to form a circle, each carriage is about two meters, and the circumference of the enclosed circle is about two hundred meters, so that a circle with a radius of about 32 meters can be obtained, and the area is about 3,200 square meters.

What is the concept of more than 3,200 square meters? The area of a football field is 7,140 square meters, which is more than 3,200 square meters, which is equivalent to half a football field.

It's not very large, but it's big enough for 500 people.

Yes, five hundred people, compared to Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang's choice to lead a fully equipped army of six thousand people, the public loss class only brought out five hundred people here, but these five hundred people are enough.

As for the remaining twenty civilian carriages, they were placed in the carriage array for backup.

After setting up the formation, the group began to clear all the snow from the ground, revealing the solid, somewhat wet ground underneath, and piled up all the snow in the center of the circle.

When the snow is burned, it turns into water, which can be used to mix cement or strained with gauze and then drink, which is very convenient to use.

Maybe it was luck that after getting away from the group of zombies under the city of Jumuyi, the convoy did not encounter any big zombie groups on the road again.

And the two small wave zombies were directly cremated by the on-board flamethrower, so when the car array was arranged, everyone did not encounter any zombies to attack.

After the public brigade commanded everyone to unload all the materials on the car, they simply ate some dry food to rest, and at this time, Xiongzhong's chariot and Wang Sheng's chariot also rushed to this stronghold.

A hole was made in the circular chariot array, and two carriages were allowed to enter, and after letting the eight horses pulling the carriage go, it was immediately closed again.

"What about Ouyang?" looked at Wang Sheng's carriage and asked with a frown.

"Mr. Ouyang......"

"He was overwhelmed by the tide of corpses in order to save me. Gongsun Chao stood up and said.

"What?!" A young man on the other side, who was burning snowflake water and mixing cement, put down the tools in his hand, picked up Gongsun Chao's collar and asked, "What are you talking about?!What's wrong with Mr. Ouyang?!You say it again!"

"Chengde, you have lost your temper!" the public loser stopped.

Chengde is a physician at the Changchun Hospital, and a survivor of the first night, and has a very good relationship with Ouyang.

"I'm sorry, teacher. Chengde put down the collar of Gongsun Chao, saluted the Gongsun class, and then continued to mix cement.

"Ouyang will never do something that he is not sure of, since Ouyang chooses to save you, then he must have the confidence to come back. Gongyin comforted Gongsun Chao, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, cherish the life he gave you." ”

"Yes......"

Although Ouyang is not in the team for the time being, what should be done still has to be done.

As for Ouyang's safety, they could only hope for a miracle, and with positive and good wishes, they hoped that the miraculous man would be able to come back again.

Although this kind of thing may sound somewhat self-defeating.

The crowd did not have time to be sad, so they took the wood and tools from the wagon and got busy.

The wheels of the carriage were removed and the carriages were firmly fixed to the ground with wooden stakes, each of which was two meters long, and the lower half meter was buried in the earth, and the exposed one and a half meters were fixed with the carriage.

On the other side, there are special people digging soil in the center of the open space, filling all the excavated soil into the civilian carriage, while patting, while filling, increasing the center of gravity of the carriage and making it more stable.
