Chapter Forty-Eight: Catch the Strong Man
After returning to his residence, Yang Chen spent time and painstakingly practiced the water-covered sword technique, specializing in one of the words 'receiving'. In fact, although he is not familiar with the number of ways of the water-covered sword, he will make it smooth. However, the basic skills have already been laid.
It's really not easy to have his speed, if you let Zhang Xuelian know, keep the big and small mouth.
Because, it took her half a year to lay the foundation.
Yang Chen now pays a lot of attention to the word 'receiving'.
He knew very well that if he couldn't take it, then practicing this water-covering sword would definitely become useless.
This made Yang Chen extremely annoyed, but he also knew that this matter was in no hurry, and he had to take it step by step and take his time. It's not easy to get results in a day or two.
In this way, in the second half of the night, Yang Chen could sleep for an hour.
And so on and so forth, for three days in a row.
It was only in the early morning of this day that Yang Chen woke up and heard a rumbling sound.
"What's the sound?" Yang Chen frowned, he obviously heard some subtle sounds.
The sound was more like noise, not from the surrounding area, but more like it was coming from a long distance.
This made Yang Chen puzzled in every way and came to the front hall of the Drunken Moon Tower.
The girls in Zuiyue Lou have woken up, these days have come to the New Year, stocking up on New Year's goods, making dumplings, steaming steamed buns, and the old bustard called these girls up early in the morning. When Yang Chen got up, these girls were already working at the front door.
When Yang Chen came to this time, he looked at the girls in the Drunken Moon Building frolicking, obviously not noticing the sound he heard just now, which made Yang Chen's expression condense, it seems that only he has practiced kung fu and his physique is different from ordinary people, so he is more agile.
This made Yang Chen feel unbelievable, and he always felt that this sound was not quite right, but he didn't know what it was.
Just as he was thinking in his heart, suddenly, there was a loud shout outside.
"Something's wrong, there's an accident, the Dong'a people have attacked our city. The army has now surrounded all the cities! ”
"What?" Hearing these words outside, Yang Chen was the first to rush out.
I saw a big man shouting while running, looking flustered.
And Yang Chen was listening carefully, the commotion coming from a distance was not just some shouting and killing. I'm afraid that as this big man said, the Dong'a people really attacked and surrounded the city!
"This ......"
Yang Chen took a deep breath, these Dong'a people are really good, just a few days after the defeat of Zancheng, the army began to surround the city and attack the idea of the city.
This made Yang Chen's expression serious and he returned to the Drunken Moon Tower.
"Yang Chen, what's wrong?" The old bustard said with some concern.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly: "I think it's similar to what the big brother said, the Dong'a people should have surrounded our Liaocheng, but now the army is heavy, and the water surrounding the Liaocheng is impassable." ”
"This, what to do? Those Dong'a people won't come in. The girl's expression changed suddenly.
Yang Chen shook his head: "That won't be so easy, the Dong'a people defeated Zancheng, and the news came to Cao Zheng's side." Cao Zheng closed the city gate early and strictly forbade entering and leaving the city. It can be seen that Cao Zheng is still prepared for prevention, unlike Zancheng, the reason why Zancheng was knocked down was because he was caught off guard! ”
As the saying goes, it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, and the city walls are almost five zhang high, so it is naturally not so easy for those Dong'a people to break in.
And not to mention anything else, there are still 3,000 elite soldiers, and it is not so easy for those Dong'a people to get in.
But when he thought so, those people were different, and for a while the streets were in a panic.
"Let's run, the Dong'a people have come in, Zan City has been defeated, can the city be defended?"
"Where are you going? The city gates are all closed, and the Dong'an army is now blocking the water around the city, where to flee? ”
Seeing this scene, Yang Chen sighed.
These people are sometimes pitiful, and the poor must have something to hate. This hasn't been fought yet, and everyone is scared out of their guts.
Yang Chen didn't have much fear of this, in fact, the Dong'a people had invaded the frontier many times in history, but the most ferocious one was only the capture of most of Xuzhou. It didn't take long for him to be driven back by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and compared to the overall strength, the imperial court was still superior to the Dong'a people.
The most important thing is that the Wei Dynasty has been breeding in the Central Plains for three hundred years, and it has long had a geographical advantage, so if you want to break through, where is it so easy?
It's just that Cao Zheng's ability makes him a little worried.
As he expected, this day and night passed in a flash, and the people inside the city were panicked, but the gate of the city was always solid and not broken.
It's just that the noise far away outside the city made it difficult for Yang Chen to sleep, and as soon as he fell asleep, he heard a knock on the door of the Zuiyue Tower.
"Who, who, early in the morning." The old bustard put on his clothes and opened the door, and Yang Chen also got up and walked out.
"On the order of Lord Cao, if there are any men in the prime of your drunken moon building, if you do, hurry up and follow us!" The officer shouted.
But as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a servant slapped her on the head: "Why are you blind, you dare to catch Lord Yang?" Where are the men in Zuiyue Tower? Come with me! ”
The officer and soldier also saw that they had made a mistake, and they dared to be ambiguous, so they hurriedly left.
This made those girls who had just gotten up and were wearing leaky clothes one by one panicked: "Yang Chen, they are going to catch strong men." ”
Yang Chen nodded.
This is not a strange thing, it is estimated that Cao Zheng suffered a small loss from those Dong'a people yesterday, and today he immediately caught strong men in the small city to make up the number. Although this is not a clever trick, it can solve the problem of the city, but it can indeed play a starting point.
"Yang Chen, you won't be captured by them, right? I've heard that wars are brutal and kill a lot of people. Gu Yueqingqiao's face was full of worry.
"This ......" Yang Chen glanced up and down at himself: "Do you think the words me and Zhuang Ding can be involved?" ”
The girl from the Drunken Moon Tower glanced at Yang Chen seriously, and then shook her head.
At the very least, Yang Chen and the word 'Zhuang' can't be connected together.
