Chapter 256: A fight to the death(1/2)
After saying that, Lou Shide didn't say much, but pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist and looked at Chen Zhengtai with a bright look, looking confident.
He had made the worst plan, so he felt calm at this moment.
Chen Zhengtai seemed to be infected by his spirit.
The Han and Tang Dynasties, Han and Tang Dynasties, and later generations always talked about the Han and Tang Dynasties. Until now, he only knew the difference between the Han and Tang Dynasties and Song and Ming Dynasties.
People who were unwilling to be lonely and had great ambitions in Song and Ming Dynasty were thinking about imperial examinations, and were the sons of the field in the morning and ascended to the emperor's hall in the evening.
But in the Han and Tang dynasties, people like Lou Shide were thinking about sacrificing themselves and not making achievements in life.
You can say that these people are obsessed with interests. But what? If a real man does not do fame and fortune, do he have to learn from the scholars and officials of the Wei and Jin dynasties and chat every day to make him look arrogant?
Everyone will say things like fame and fortune to me. But if there is no fame and fortune, why dare you say such words?
If you were asked to be a savage in the mountains and forests, hungry and ragged, would you still dare to say such things?
The sages in the bamboo forest, on the surface, hate fame and fortune, hide in the mountains, seem to live a clear and careless life. But in fact, their farming and reading are different from the unrestrained and unrestrained people in the mountains and forests.
Although they also pretend to be free and live in thatched cottages, they cannot be self-sufficient through farming, so they must be sent to the food by specialists. In order to provide them with their needs in the deep mountains, someone needs to pick clear springs for them and someone needs to cook food for them. And they only need to wear so-called "common clothes" that are not like, shake the fan, and claim to be their own arrogance.
Such wise men have accumulated countless resources since they were born. There are famous teachers who teach them how to read and write, and some book children have received them. They are even underage. The imperial court has been prepared for their edicts!
They enjoy leisure and freedom without thinking about fame and fortune, not because they disdain to fame, but because their fame is ready-made.
That's all!
Chen Zhengtai glanced at Lou Shide and couldn't help but say, "Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to make achievements. Do you dare to take it?"
"I have three-foot sword around me, why don't you dare?" Lou Shide said angrily, his eyes shining with clear eyes.
"Okay." Chen Zhengtai said: "You go to the governor to dig the trench first and find a way to divert water into the trench. The thief army will come soon, and time is already in a hurry."
"Here." Lou Shide did not ask Chen Zhengtai too much, but went there happily.
He took his eleven-year-old child, a young man named Lou Siying, and went directly outside Deng's house.
There was a long time since someone was digging a ditch. Lou Shide kicked his son Lou Siying into the ditch and said unquestionably: "You are still young, and it's not the time when you are fighting hard, but the strength is needed."
Lou Siying was suddenly kicked down and her head first hit the ditch. Fortunately, the ditch was covered with soft soil. After a few screams, she turned over obediently, took the hoe, raised her buttocks and swung her arms to start loosening the soil.
In the evening, the sky was gloomy.
The sky in Jiangnan has changed again.
First, the raindrops fell, and then the wind and rain became heavier!
The entire Deng house was arranged by Su Dingfang and Lou Shide.
Of course... there are only two hundred people, and they are still a little short of it.
Chen Zhengtai seemed a little anxious, but it seemed that Su Dingfang was very happy.
A warrior is a warrior. Even if he is a calm warrior, he can be as happy as if he has a slight chance to achieve success.
Don't worry, let's finish it first.
That night, Chen Zhengtai and Su Dingfang slept in the same room, and the rain outside slapped the window.
However, Lou Shide came in a hurry and knocked on the door outside, and said with a slightly anxious voice: "The thief is here!"
Only these three words immediately made Chen Zhengtai, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly wake up, and instantly cheer him up.
Su Dingfang slept on the floor and said lazily: "Although the thief has come, it is only midnight. They don't know the depth and will not dare to attack here easily. Even if they send some soldiers to test it, the guards on the night will be enough to deal with it. They came from afar, and they must be tired and exhausted. They must set up camp thoroughly. The first thing they have to do is to surround Deng's house, not airtight, and will never attack in large quantities. Let's talk about everything tomorrow. The most important thing now is to sleep well for a night so that they can nourish their spirits. Tomorrow, they will be refreshed and these thieves will be happy for a while."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and turned over, and he started to snore quickly.
This guy has a little too strong psychological quality.
Chen Zhengtai didn't know if what he said was right, but he was always a little worried.
It was night, and the sound of the wind and rain was disturbing.
In the second half of the night, there were occasional sporadic shouts, but soon the sound disappeared again.
As Su Dingfang said, the other party would try the depth and would not make any major moves.
When it was dawn, Su Dingfang turned over very quickly, but he was not calm at night at this time. With a low growl, he searched for his armor with great momentum. After putting it on layer by layer, he pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist and hurriedly drove out with the people.
In the morning, Chen Zhengtai drank some rice porridge, then dressed neatly, and rushed to the arrow tower near the middle gate.
When you climb here and condescend to the top, you can see countless thieves. Sure enough, they have already stationed in the camp and surrounded the place with a mess.
Chen Zhengtai looked at the person with dense heads and couldn't help but feel numb.
There seemed to be a movement opposite. A team of people came from the horse, with the leader wearing a winged hat, which was the governor Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was very cautious and did not dare to get too close, and then shouted: "Where is Your Majesty?"
Chen Zhengtai stood in the arrow tower and scolded: "As a governor, you dare to see Your Majesty? What is your intention to bring troops here?"
Wu Ming said calmly: "But Mr. Chen? Why didn't Mr. Chen open the door of the house and let me go in and greet His Majesty?"
Chen Zhengtai was not in the mood to continue talking to such people, and sneered: "Stop talking, just meet with swords and weapons."
Wu Ming didn't seem to be angry, but just sneered: "Can Lou Shide, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, be in the house?"
Lou Shide has already stood behind Chen Zhengtai, but he doesn't say a word.
Chen Zhengtai laughed and said, "Rebellion is rebellion. This rebellion is so long-winded. I only saw Lou Shide here today, so what?"
When Wu Ming heard this, he had bit his teeth and said angrily: "Lou Shide, you are thief, you are instigating us to rebel, but you go to inform us. If you are ruthless and unrighteous people, if I take you, you will be torn to pieces."
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he turned his head to look at Lou Shide.
Lou Shide had no expression on his face, but just said to Chen Zhengtai: "Will Chen Zhanshi believe the words of this traitor? This must be the traitor's trick, and he wants to distract you and me."
Chen Zhengtai was happy at him: "I don't think this governor is like a trick. You can really do such an immoral thing."
Lou Shide: “…”
Fortunately, Lou Shide was not red at the moment, and he was still calm. He thought for a while and said, "It is not enough to instigate and provoke. They have no way to live, and they are afraid that their crimes will be noticed by His Majesty. Naturally, they will have to rebel. The lower officials have indeed said something, on the one hand, to win them trust and make them doubt the lower officials, and on the other hand, they are just throwing bricks and attracting jade."
Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, are you kidding me? Do you call this a throwing brick and attracting jade?
But at this point, nothing is useless to say. Chen Zhengtai sternly said: "You don't have to explain, I'm too lazy to care about these things. You have to make contributions or die."
Lou Shide hurriedly said, "Here."
He really stopped arguing.
It doesn't make any sense.
This Chen Zhan seems to be the one who only looks at the results.
Such a person is easy to deal with, that is, try his best to do his best to give him a good result.
What's more, Lou Shide even brought his own family, and obviously he had already made plans to burn both jade and stone.
Just two hundred people stay here for half a month, they are creating miracles, but where is the miracles in the world easy to create?
Wu Ming heard Chen Zhengtai say that Lou Shide was there too, and was so angry that he almost blew out an old blood. He couldn't help but curse loudly: "Lou Shide, you thief, don't you dare to speak?"
Lou Shide laughed and said, "You are a thief, I am a soldier, and the Han and the thieves are not in harmony. What else can you say? Let's go and kill me!"
As he said that, Lou Shide wanted to take the hard bow.
When he saw Lou Shide asking for a bow, although the distance was quite far, Wu Ming was still shocked and quickly rode his horse back to his formation.
Soon, a team of rebels attacked.
This is obviously just a tentative attack.
So although there are quite a few people, if you look closely, you are mostly old and weak. I think it is just a tribe of those aristocratic races.
Everyone rushed outside the house, and the cavalry standing on the ladder on the wall set their bows one after another.
All these bows and arrows were found in the Deng family, and there were also a group of them transported by Lou Shide and his servants from the arsenal in the county.
It seems that Chen Zhengtai is unwilling to take out his treasure at the bottom of the box for these little fish and shrimps, but using these bows and arrows is enough.
The cavalrymen had great arms and were like a joke to such bows. Dozens of feathered arrows shot out like locusts, and seven or eight people fell down, and then they continued to open their bows and continue to shoot and kill them.
After a while, dozens of people had fallen down before these groups could reach the trench. They suddenly became depressed, and some even escaped directly.
Wu Ming was calm and composed. Two people were guarding him, one was Chen Hu, the general of King of Yue, and the other was Wang Yi, the general of the cavalry of Yangzhou. These two were obviously proficient in military formations. Letting these troops go to die first was actually just a test of Deng Zhai's defense.
The gangs attacked from all directions, and they tried hard to find the flaws in the defense. When the gangs left behind the bodies of those who had been shot and ran back, the two still did not react much.
"Eunuch, it seems that some people in this house are proficient in military tactics. If you want to be in charge of it, you will be the one who is personally commanded. The defense of Deng's house is quite decent. It seems that he will not be able to get it without paying some price."
The one who spoke was Chen Hu.
Chen Hu's face turned pale at this time. He was also a powerful general, otherwise he would never have become a general of King Wei of Yue.
At this moment, although his face was a little ugly, he still looked like an old god. He pointed his fingers in his hand and exposed Deng Zhai's defense one by one.
Finally, he said: "How can they defend this little soldier? We have many soldiers, so let's take turns to attack a few more times today. If we can, we will take it. But if we can't take it, we will consume their energy first. When tomorrow comes, we will launch a large attack. It will be no problem to break through Deng Zhai."
Wu Ming nodded. He naturally believed in Chen Hu. With just one round of attack, he had already figured out the reality of Deng's house, and then he just wiped out the defenders first.
So for a whole day, the rebels took turns to attack.
The opponent has a lot of people and is repelled again and again, but soon ushered in a new round of offensive.
