?The sunset is setting, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, everything is as usual in the Chenjun Water Village in Fanhu. The craftsmen in the shipyard have finished their work. Smokes of cooking stoves are rising from the camp. The lake water gently pats the shore, but the moored warships are not as big as when they are empty. щww{]lā}

There were dozens of soldiers squatting and eating in each ship. They were surrounded by weapons such as arrows, swords and guns, and even the paddles of rowing were ready. Many soldiers in the camps on the shore were like them, squatting and eating in the arrow tower, village gate and other important places.

Today, somehow the whole village was intensified for vigilance, but the soldiers couldn't even have a stable dinner. They all squatted everywhere while eating and alert. I don't know what the wind was heard, but it seemed that they were about to be on guard against someone's attack.

Fanhu Water Village has existed for a long time, but the current camp was newly built a few months ago. The original water village has been burned by the invading Zhou army, and most of the soldiers and a group of tragic servants were captured and taken to Jiangbei.

The new camps and new people were mostly foreigners recruited by the government from all over the country. They originally said that they could go home after Yingzhou was pacified, but now it seems that they will never return home.

"Ahem, what life are you living here? You were conquered to the Wuchang Shuizhai in Yingzhou for no reason. It seems that you can't go back this year."

"This is not possible. The government said the deadline is soon and we will be able to go home as soon as possible."

"Can the government believe what he said? They also said that one year of service or military service will not last long, and it will take one month and twenty days. Now we have been here for three months!"

"What else can I do? It's better to guard the water camp here than to be in the beacon fortress along the river. If I'm not careful, I'll catch the one-legged bronze man...huh."

The soldiers who were recruited were chatting. They were ordinary people on weekdays. After being summoned by the government, they put on unfit military uniforms and had crooked spears and soldiers. They had no training, but they were left to fate when they went to the battlefield.

When the official army goes to war, they always exaggerate their strength. One thousand is said to be 5,000, ten thousand is said to be 50,000, and fifty thousand is said to be 200,000. They just use it to make up the numbers and help the soldiers work as chores and work as hard laborers. If the battle starts, they will make up their momentum.

I am lucky and have been safe after several months. I don’t know where I die if I am unlucky. Of course, this is much better than the military households for generations. It is true that all three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have become slaves and slaves to the generals.

It was a blessing to be able to work in this Fanhu Water Village in the previous life. It was very peaceful and good. You don’t have to be afraid of the beacon fortress along the river. The one-legged bronze man, the governor of the Zhou State, on the opposite side of the river, was so powerful that he was very powerful.

Since the "Decisive Battle at the Top of Xiyang" that broke out at the beginning of the year, the people of Chen State along the Yangtze River all knew the story of "One-legged Bronze Man Yuwen Wen". Of course, the stories have been spread many times. No one remembers the last three words that are difficult to describe, except for the famous "One-legged Bronze Man".

The bronze man is still one-legged! It sounds like a very powerful person.

Therefore, the people may not know who their parents are, but when it comes to the governor of Bazhou, the state of Zhou, Jiangbei, everyone knows that they are called the "one-legged bronze man", and they are also evil people who like to eat human flesh and force the women to enter the palace.

Many captured official soldiers were taken to Xiyang City, Bazhou, and then dried by this one-legged bronze man to make it into "Dongpo Pork" for wine. Zhou army warships were rampant on the river surface, and Chen army along the river were all frightened. Therefore, these people could station in Fanhu, dozens of miles offshore, and stare at a steady and steady day. It was a great blessing.

"Do you have to sleep tonight?" Someone complained. Seeing that it was already evening and looking at the current situation, maybe everyone would have to sleep in the open air. There were many mosquitoes by the water, and they were already thin and not a few taels of blood. If they were sucked by the mosquitoes everywhere, they would blow down the wind.

"Don't talk, a boat is coming from the lake!" someone suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Everyone looked up and saw that there was indeed movement on the lake in the south. They saw some small boats vaguely, not knowing that they were fishing boats or pirate ships with other intentions.

......

The official road outside the water village gate was dusty, as if a large number of cavalry were coming to the water village. Seeing this, the soldiers guarded the gate were secretly guarded. The gate gate had been closed and there were many horse-resisting horses, and the archers were also ready to shoot arrows at any time.

The head of the village will take people to Wuchang City in the afternoon. Before leaving, he specially ordered to strengthen the vigilance to prevent the enemy from attacking. Although many people think it is a bit of a big deal, no one dares to disobey the military orders.

After a moment, more than a hundred cavalry approached, and everyone was in the uniform of the military. When they saw the gate of the village was closed, they slowed down. After approaching the gate, they shouted loudly and ordered reinforcements to open the door.

"Is there any official document? Is there a transfer order? The general has an order. Without these things, he is not allowed to come in." A soldier shouted on the wall of the village, "It's not that we are unreasonable. If you get closer, you will have to shoot arrows!"

"You generals? They were the ones when they entered the city just now? If he hadn't said that the water camp had changed, Shangguan wouldn't have let me come here!" The leading cavalry also shouted loudly.

"There is no official document or transfer order, and you have to wait until the general comes back before you decide!"

"Talking, do you still not open!"

"If you get closer, you'll shoot an arrow!"

The cavalry was about to curse when he heard this, but was persuaded by the people beside him. Seeing that the defenders were so serious, the cavalry did not scold them anymore. They all got off their horses and walked towards the Fanshui side not far away.

"What's wrong with their horses? They don't look like war horses." said the deputy general of the goalkeeper. They could see clearly on the wall of the village that these horse-drinking cavalry were fierce, but their mounts were a little weak in comparison.

Those horses were not very weak, rather than war horses, they were slow horses pulling carts. It was difficult to travel a hundred miles a day, so such a mighty cavalry should be elite or the general's troops, and heroes should be matched with good horses.

"What if he doesn't matter, maybe some good horses are taken care of in the stable, and the ones they ride are spare horses." Some people guessed that war horses are all precious these days. Perhaps these cavalrymen usually ride spare horses, and they don't think they can use war horses to patrol on the official roads. They probably only ride when the two armies fight and rush forward.

"In any case, you cannot let someone in without verifying your identity. Anyway, the village gate is closed and they can't even rush to the rush."

The defenders were waiting for the Zhou army to avoid the arrival of people dressed up, but they saw these cavalrymen very comfortable beside the Fanshui River, and the men were drinking the river water. Some even took off their armor to breathe and dissipate heat.

There was a brainless person who took off his trouser belt upstream and was drinking water or washing his face a few steps downstream. Seeing this, a group of people chased the fool and shouted and killed him. The defenders in the village relaxed a lot when they saw this scene.

It seems like it is a friendly army, but it cannot be opened without a transfer order or official documents!

"What if they are really friendly troops coming to reinforce..." a soldier asked, "When the general comes back, he will scold him again."

"If the procedures are not complete, you will be scolded if you let someone in." The deputy general sneered, "Didn't the general always strictly govern the army? He said in person that there was no order to transfer the documents, so the official documents could not be let someone in. Is it wrong for us not to let someone go?"

While watching coldly, more than ten cavalry galloped on the official road. At the moment, one of them was wearing bright light armor and was full of momentum. Seeing more than a hundred cavalry drinking horses by the river, they slowed down first, and then rode their horses forward and cursed why they didn't enter the village.

The cavalrymen who were drinking horses argued that the water camp did not open, so the general led his horse to the gate and called the door: "Open the door quickly, I will be ordered to lead troops to reinforce!"

The defenders naturally asked the other party to present certificates such as official documents and transfer orders. As a result, the general actually threw a token on it. Everyone carefully checked and found that it was the waist card of the leader of the village.

"Strange, why did the general give this waist card to others?" The deputy general was surprised, but some people thought it was understandable. Perhaps the general could not write official documents for a while, so he simply brought the waist card to the other party.

"I always feel something is wrong. This waist card is carried by the general. If it is a disaster for someone to rob him halfway..."

"Ph, don't say such unlucky words."

The generals outside shouted loudly to open the door quickly. The defenders wanted to open the door but always felt something was wrong. But there was no right reason to not open it. After all, the waist card is indeed real. If it is really wrong, you can't take it.

Just as hesitated, soldiers in the village came to report the news that the situation was not right. There were many small boats gathering on the lake. Although they were not approaching, more and more. Several remaining deputy generals were hesitating whether to send ships to drive them away and let everyone prepare for the battle.

While nervous, the general outside the village cursed the defenders and suffered the consequences of missing the military opportunity. He called other cavalrymen to turn over their horses, turned their heads and wanted to return the same way. Seeing this, the deputy general at the gate was anxious and quickly called the other party.

"Open the door, open the door immediately!"

He felt that the other party had a waist card in his hand as a proof, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't open the door. Now there are thieves who are coveting the water camp and preparing to take action. It would be impossible to add more than a hundred elites. If the other party leaves in anger, he will definitely say a lot of bad things. He is the one who is unlucky in the future.

The village gate opened quickly. After the cavalry moved out inside and outside, the leader came into the village and became sarcastic as soon as he came in and spoke. He said that the army's big rules were almost useless. He also asked if the door opening fee was to be paid, or if he had to let the general allocate some money and food to comfort you after returning to the city.

The deputy general at the gate smiled and kept explaining that the situation was special. When the main general left, he ordered the guard to avoid being attacked. Now the thief is really here.

"Here you come? There is only one official road. Why didn't I see anyone else?"

"I came from the lake and rowed a boat."

"Boat, water battle? We are cavalry, and we can't be used!" The general hummed unhappily, "I was sent by the general to reinforce me just now. I was so anxious that I thought that there were thieves besieging the village. So let's wait until the thieves attacked the ashore."

While speaking, the cavalry had already entered the camp. They dismounted and walked quietly to lengthen the distance of the team. The defenders focused on the lake, while the boatmen and newly trained naval soldiers were trembling with their weapons in anxiety.

The remaining deputy generals discussed and decided to send a ship to fight to disperse the suspicious boats on the lake. Although the water camp was in the upper wind direction and was not afraid of the other party launching a fire boat, it was impossible to confront each other like this.

Several warships were about to untickle the cables, but suddenly screamed in the village. The cavalry who had just entered the village suddenly drew their swords and slashed at others. Unpredictable, many people were chopped over on the spot.
