At this time, Chen Langjun, who had just used some crude and outrageous slogans of a certain bald man and later generations to calm the chaos and boost morale, unexpectedly left Miss Wang, Wei Chuanzheng and those who were fighting bloody battles with the thieves behind.
The guards and the common people rolled down the tower alone.
It wasn't that he wanted to be a deserter, but that he took a casual glance at the top of the city and saw a figure he was no longer familiar with, and a chill instantly surged into his heart.
Damn it, how did this guy end up in the opposite camp of thieves?
The back figure he saw just now was none other than Liu Yaozu, who was scared away by his bluff in the secret passage.
This person knows the location of the secret passage. If an army is led from the secret passage to attack, there will be no possibility of holding on to this fort.
I hurriedly ran to the door downstairs, and then I remembered how I could deal with those thieves who were like wolves and tigers with my small body?
He shouted to the gate tower, not asking Miss Wang to send some people down directly from above, but to obtain his consent and select some young men from the Wubao to guard or even block the secret passage.<
/p>
When Wang Huan heard Chen Chang's shouts, she realized that she had wrongly blamed him, and immediately agreed to his request.
Chen Chang was overjoyed and was about to greet someone when someone slapped him hard on the shoulder from behind. The pain made him stagger. When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhou Yihai.
Lieutenant Zhou was injured and his helmet was crooked, but he refused to take it off. In his words, wouldn't that mean losing his helmet and taking off his armor?
"Master Captain, your injury..." Chen Chang hesitated. After all, Zhou Yihai was shot by an arrow, which was similar to a piercing of the intestines. In other words, he would have to stay in bed for at least three months.
Zhou Yihai waved his hand and said with a grin: "This small injury is not a problem. I have recovered. I will go to the ancestral hall with you. The thieves actually know the secret passage. Hehe, I am waiting for them there. Watch them
How many people can come up?"
He had lost a lot of blood just now and was a little weak. Under Wang Huan's forced request, he lay down on his back in the wing to rest and ate some liquid food. His body was already strong, but now that he heard that the war was tense outside, how could he still lie down peacefully?
?
Chen Chang still wanted to dissuade him, but he heard Zhou Yihai say: "Where are the manpower now? You just go with those stupid young people. If you can't block the secret passage, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
He pushed Chen Chan and said: "Let's go, let's go, I've already found the thief for you. Without further ado, let's go and meet the thief!"
When Chen Chang saw Zhou Yihai greeting fifteen or six young men, he thought about it. Blocking the enemy's sneak attack was not a trivial matter. It was related to the outcome of the entire battle. He himself didn't know how to fight, and these common people didn't understand even more. It was really important at the critical moment.
We need people with battlefield experience like Zhou Yihai to take charge.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel happy.
Chen Chang led Zhou Yihai and others to the main hall of the ancestral hall and told him about the mechanism of the secret door. Zhou Yihai looked at the evil-proof candlestick carefully, and the tip of his nose almost touched it, and said: "Damn, this is
The mechanism is very sophisticated. If it were me, even if I were given half a day, I might not be able to discover the key. Those people who have read books have a lot of twists and turns. Oh, by the way, how did you end up here?
?"
Chen Chang coughed dryly. He knew that a woman's reputation is the most important thing. The less people knew about him and Shui Ling'er, the better. He changed the topic and said: "Master Xiaowei, count the hours, the thief should be here soon."
Well, how should we deal with it?"
Zhou Yihai was not a gossip leader. He just asked casually. Hearing him ask him about his strategy to retreat from the enemy, he said: "Ah, that's exactly what it is. What else can I do? Naturally, I will wait at the entrance of the cave and kill them one by one as soon as they come up."
Something!"
Chen Chang suddenly opened his mouth. He thought Zhou Yihai had some clever plan, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and crude.
Seeing Chen Chang's expression, Zhou Yihai asked, "Do you have a better plan?"
Chen Chang smiled bitterly and said: "Master Captain, even though we are guarding the exit of this secret passage, we are still outnumbered. If we cannot withstand it, we will lose everything..."
Zhou Yihai interrupted him unhappily: "Speak directly if you have anything to say, what did my mother-in-law and mother do?"
"Please also ask the captain to arrange for someone to prepare something to light the fire and make smoke, preferably chili peppers and the like..."
"What is chili pepper?"
"This..." Chen Chang accidentally let it slip that chili peppers were a foreign thing after the Ming Dynasty. Even if there were similar things in the Southern Dynasties, Zhou Yihai probably didn't know about them, "It's a spicy thing that can be put into the fire, hehe...
”
At this time, Chen Chang was squatting at the entrance of the secret passage. Under the light of the torch, his face was sinister, and he could only say a few lines such as "Dig three feet into the ground...".
Zhou Yihai pinched the tip of his chin and thought for a moment, then smiled with a clear expression: "Spicy? Got it, got it, just use Cornus officinalis, it's available outside!"
Chen Chang may have known about Cornus officinalis because of an unbearable experience revealed by a superstar named Wang in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty. The superstar revealed that on the ninth day of September of a certain year, he was dragged up a mountain by Shandong brothers and "penetrated all over"
, and thus created "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th.avi".
Looking in the direction of Zhou Yihai's finger, I saw three big trees against the west wall in the ancestral hall. The trunks were tall and tall, the crowns were wide, the branches were luxuriant, the branches were taller, and the trees were full of yellow flowers.
White flowers, many butterflies, bees, beetles and other insects surround the flowers.
"Is this okay?"
Zhou Yihai saw that he was confused and explained while instructing the young men to chop branches.
When Chen Chang heard it, he realized that it tasted bitter and spicy. The fruit was pounded and filtered to extract the juice, then lime was added and stirred into spicy rice oil. It was the main source of "spicy" among the six flavors.
In fact, this stuff played a very important spicy role before chili peppers were introduced to China from the Americas in the mid-Ming Dynasty. However, it was not easy to pick and the processing process was complicated. It was gradually withdrawn from the kitchen in the late Ming Dynasty...
Chen Chang was overjoyed after hearing this. He had already walked through this secret passage. The space inside was not large and the ventilation effect was extremely poor. With these branches and leaves of dogwood, he could make simple poison gas bombs. He couldn't help but be happy for a moment.
Gotta gear up.
Zhou Yi Pirates said in a sullen tone: "In addition to being used as a condiment, this thing can also strengthen vitality, secret essence!"
Chen Chang said awkwardly: "Uh...it's not too late to ask Mr. Xiaowei for detailed advice on this someday!"
Zhou Yihai said again: "Chen Langjun, I think you are such a thin-skinned person. If a thief comes over in a while, I won't be able to protect you. Why don't you withdraw from this ancestral hall and wait!"
Chen Chang knew that he was thinking about himself. To be honest, if the thief really came out of the secret passage, he would definitely not be able to protect himself, and might even become a drag on Zhou Yihai and others.
But he doesn't feel at ease leaving here. He and Shui Ling'er know this secret passage best. Once they need to enter the secret passage to fight, he still needs to lead the way.
So, he expressed his thoughts, and Zhou Yihai thought about it and agreed to stay, but he had to report to Miss Wang for permission.
Chen Chang nodded in agreement, and asked people to find a large pot to boil water, and prepared buckets, ladles, etc. If the "poisonous gas" could not stop the thieves in the secret passage, there would also be "hot soup" to offer.
Zhou Yihai held a piece of foxtail in his mouth, looked at Chen Chang's limping back, and said to himself: "Every time a dog is slaughtered in a righteous way, most of them are scholars with a bad heart. Don't offend a scholar, because you will be full of bad ideas."
!"
Seeing the two young and strong people in front of him in a daze, Zhou Yihai screamed: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and find firewood to make a fire!"
The two people were excited and were about to walk away, but they were stopped by Zhou Yihai: "You two are so scared that you are leaving ready-made things unused. Take them down and burn them!"
The two people immediately looked at each other and burned the Immortal Banban. Wouldn't it be like a thunderbolt from heaven?
When Chen Chang arrived at the gate tower of Wubao, he discovered that the siege had temporarily stopped. The bandits had paid a price of more than a hundred people, and corpses were staggering outside the wall. There were also three or four casualties on the city, most of them from arrows.
and injured by flying rocks.
Suddenly, he saw three familiar figures in the crowd. It turned out that under the leadership of Yan Xiu, Yan Qianshi and Shui Ling'er were busy treating injuries of soldiers and civilians.
Yan Xiu's knowledge covers a wide range of subjects, and the Qihuang techniques that Yan Qianshi learned were all taught by him. The old man is used to seeing life and death, so naturally he will not be like the idiot grandson who makes his legs weak when he sees blood. It's just that his old eyes are dim and he can't do anything.
Ability is greatly affected.
Fortunately, Shui Ling'er was here. Under Yan Xiu's guidance, she was able to bandage the injured skillfully.
Chen Chang saw that she had wrapped her hair with a piece of green cloth, but her waist was still slender, and her movements had a youthful and charming charm.
Shui Ling'er also saw Chen Chang, smiled sweetly at him, and then went back to the intense work of treating the wounded.
However, Fatty Yan still couldn't get rid of the psychological impact. He turned his head and squinted his eyes, not daring to look at the wounded man's wounds, and wiped the sweat from his fat face from time to time.
Wei Chuanzheng was holding his Huanshou knife and loudly scolded those stupid Minzhuangs. He even kicked some people on the buttocks and taught them how to fight.
Miss Wang leaned on the arrows and stomped on them, holding an arrow pot with only three arrows left in her hand, thoughtfully.
Chen Chang climbed up to the top of the city and looked outside Wubao. He saw that the thieves had retreated across the river and were gathering in groups, as if they were preparing for the next attack.
He took a quick look and hurried to Miss Wang to tell her about the ancestral hall.
After not seeing each other for a while, I saw that her bright eyes were stained with a few strands of blood, and she asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay?"
Miss Wang shook her head slightly, smoothed her messy temples, and said hoarsely: "The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, so there must be something wrong in some link. For the current plan, we can only fight hard with the thieves here."
Yangjiadu is more than thirty miles away from Jiangling. When she got the news of the bandits' robbery, she immediately sent someone on a fast horse to report for help. It stands to reason that the reinforcements have arrived by now.
But this is not the case, either the letter has not been delivered, or the deployment of troops has been delayed, or they are still on the way, but no matter which possibility it is, now we can only leave it to fate.
It is not that she has not considered leading the people to retreat from the back door of Wubao, but now who can guarantee that there is no ambush outside, once the ambush breaks out, everyone will be in doom.
Chen Chang frowned, looked at the thieves outside the city, rolled his eyes a few times, and said to Miss Wang: "Miss, I have an idea..."
