After Wei brought the food, he looked at Zhao Wuxian's somewhat tattered deep clothes, bit his somewhat pale lips, and hurriedly returned to the village temple, bringing him a full set of armor. ￡∝，

The war is approaching, and there is a slaughter inside and outside the township.

Outside the small town, there is an enemy besieging the city, above the watchtower, the moonlight is hazy, there are beautiful women, and they are dressed in armor for the gentleman......

Dressed in plain dark clothes and with a slender figure, Wei served closely in front of everyone, wearing armor for Zhao Wuxian.

First of all, Zhao Wuxian put on a "鞮", that is, leather boots with copper bubble nails.

Subsequently, copper arm guards are worn on both hands, which are cast from a single piece of bronze, enclosed in a cylindrical shape, with smooth edges.

Then, with the help of Wei, he put on the armor over his clothes.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, leather armor was still the mainstream armor, and Zhao Wuxian's equipment was a set of leather and copper combined with IU patent leather armor, which was divided into four parts: armor body, beast-faced bronze chest guard, armor sleeves, and armor skirt.

The fish-scale-like carapace is made of thick cowhide and is divided into two compartments, the inner and the outer one, which can block arrows fired from a distance. There are hundreds of pieces in total, the larger ones of the armor body are thicker, and the smaller ones of the armor sleeves are softer. They are all dyed with black lacquer by "colorists" for aesthetic purposes and to prevent insect bite and decay, and then they are woven into a whole with red kudzu bands.

The gluttonous beast-faced bronze chest and back guards were hung from the armor by shoulder straps, and were tied tightly with copper buckles to protect his henchmen, but Zhao Wuxian had always doubted that they would be able to block the fatal blow of the blade.

On her waist was a pan with a sash, or a leather belt, and Wei was half-kneeling on the ground, smiling at her gentleman with her face up. Immediately tie it firmly for the shirtless. Strap the sword on a metal belt hook made of brass.

Finally, after handing the girdle to the gentleman. She bowed, her big eyes filled with reluctance and a little worry. But without saying a word, he obediently stepped aside.

Tonight, it's the men's stage.

Zhao Wuxian, who was dressed in military uniform, glanced at the "thieves" who had formed into two large phalanxes half a mile away. Then he turned around and faced the soldiers of Chengxiang and the people of the country.

At this time, at the back door, there were more than 100 villagers, as well as two pawns and wild people who were temporarily dispatched.

With a crowd of 300, against more than 1,000 people, and the other party is still an elite Qing family soldier. Zhao Wuxian was not completely sure in his heart, let alone others.

He needed to say something, to encourage himself and to encourage others.

In the pre-Qin era, before the war, there must be an "oath", one of the five precepts of Zhou Li, which was used in the military.

Although Chengxiang replaced this temporary restraint measure with a new military law, the "oath" was used as a mobilization call before the war. Morale-boosting means, however, are also essential.

So Zhao Wuxian said softly: "Cheng Xuan, what I say next must be recorded word for word in the brochure." ”

Cheng was temporarily appointed as a clerk. Nod your head.

The shirtless wore a composite leather jacket, arranged the silk lining, and tightened the silk tie. The red tassel made of pheasant's tail on the top of the crest was held high, allowing everyone to see him in the firelight. Then he was condescending from the watchtower. Speaking generously to the people:

"Whew! My retainer Tsukazai, Sima, Sanlao, Situ, Lixu, military officials, Shi Chang, and Wu Chang. and the countrymen, savages, and hooligans. Call Ergo, Bilgan, Lilspear, listen to my oath! ”

The loud-voiced Mucha and others spread this passage to the entire township, and Cheng Jian held a pen and recorded it on a bamboo booklet.

All were listening attentively: the townsmen were looking up with their spears, the countrymen were concentrating on their burdens, and the archers on the watchtower were listening with their ears pricked up and listened word for word while looking out at the enemy, rubbing their fingers against the bowstrings.

"There are thieves tonight, disturbing my hometown, if you can defeat the enemy, the military officials have knights to be promoted, and those who have no lords are sealed; The townsmen and the countrymen can kill one enemy, and enjoy a piece of cloth, a stone of wheat flour, ten stones of corn, and ten acres of fields! Savages can kill the enemy, relocate, ten acres of land! Those who can kill the enemy will be released! If there are dead or wounded, the reward will be doubled, you will wait for Kun's father, wife and children, and the Zhao family will raise them! ”

He didn't say too many impassioned words, those awkward, red tape, righteous and awe-inspiring things, for the scholars and doctors. The soldiers at the grassroots level and the people of the country have a more intuitive sense of direct rewards and punishments.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Wuxian said a word, everyone was in an uproar, and they became more enthusiastic. In particular, more than a dozen archers were stunned when they heard this, and then they showed expressions of gearing up, they would be the main force that would inflict damage on the enemy today.

"If anyone does not obey the order, disrupts our ranks, order, or even flees in fear of the enemy, and talks nonsense, the new military law will deal with it! Cheng Xuan, you act as the right judge! Just wait for the dawn, the lower palace has its own reinforcements to arrive, and wipe it out! ”

Whether he can come or not, Zhao Wuxian has no clue, but at least there is a hope for everyone to hold on until dawn.

After Mucha and the other townsmen spread the words of the unsympathetic all over the township, they shouted in unison: "I will destroy this and eat it!" ”

"It will be destroyed and eaten!"

Zhao Wuxian was very satisfied, and everyone's morale had been reached.

Infected by this, Cheng Yan's hand also trembled slightly, but it was no longer a trembling of fear, but excitement. With a trembling pen, he wrote down the last few words and wrote down the name of the gentleman's oath.

"The oath of success"!

At this moment, Xing Ao, who had been staring intently outside, and didn't even turn around when his sister arrived, suddenly shouted: "Gentleman, Kou Zhiyi!" ”

Zhao Wuxian turned his head to look, and sure enough, the torches that had been lined up half a mile away began to move, and walked straight along the avenue towards the back door.

They were indeed two elite soldiers, and every hundred paces they walked would stop to sort out the queue so that the ranks would not be scattered, and they did not stop until they were two hundred paces away from the village gate.

At this point, through the torch, Zhao Wuxian could already see the silhouettes of those figures in armor, although some people deliberately dressed up as robbers, but Zhao Wuxian had already seen through their true identities.

Not to mention, there were two looming carriages behind the battle, with drums on them, and the ones standing on them were probably the masterminds of this night attack.

……

Fan Jia stood on the chariot and looked at the neat array of soldiers of the two families in front of him, with spears and torches erected high. Then he looked at the small countryside in the distance, and looked forward to himself for a while.

"Thus the siege of the city. Why is the city not grammed? Zhongxingzi, let everyone rush forward! ”

Fan Jia thinks. As long as all the soldiers in front of him move forward together, they can step on the ground of Zhao Wuxian's small village.

However, the Zhongxing Hei Hu, who was familiar with Sima Fa and had a rough battle formation, was more cautious, and he said: "Wait, Zhao Shizi seems to be prepared. ”

He pointed ahead and said, "Fanzi, please see, the wall has been newly strengthened in recent months, and it is extremely thick. The lintel is tall and has three watchtowers with archers on them. At this time, I am afraid that we have already been targeted, and there are some obstacles on the road, which are not easy to overcome. What's more, after the arrival of our army, we did not hear the confusion and noise of the people, but there was a faint cry of grief and indignation, and it was in full swing. ”

This shows that this town has not yet been in turmoil, and the morale of the army and the people still exists. Don't be underestimated. ”

Fan Jia was stunned for a moment, feeling that what the Bank of China said was very reasonable, and also put away his contempt and said: "What should I do?" ”

Indeed, there are some wooden fences tied up in dozens of feet outside the door. Digging a ravine is equivalent to another obstacle outside the wall. But it was only a few days of temporary labor, and there were no ideas from Zhao Wuxian and later generations. So it can't be too good. The trench man had some trouble crossing it, but even if it fell. It can also climb up again and play a role. It's just a matter of prolonging the time it takes for them to rush to the wall.

When the Bank of China Heiqiu discovered Chengxiang's preparations, he also saw the haste and mistakes in these preparations.

"Wait a minute, let the sergeants go and cut down the trees and make simple siege equipment to fill in the ravines and cross the walls, and wait until my slave fox and the group of thieves attack the front door first. In this way, Zhao Wuxian will not be able to care about the front and the back, and the military will become panicked when it is besieged and attacked, and then we will do this again, then this city can be broken! ”

……

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian, who was on the watchtower, found that the enemy, who had reached more than two hundred steps away, stopped again, and from time to time someone ran to the two cars on foot, probably a military officer, as if asking the leader for something.

When they received the order, they returned to their places and commanded the people to do this and that. Some of the black dots walked towards the sparse woods on either side, and began to cut down branches to make rudimentary siege equipment, in preparation for the attack.

Seeing that the enemy was orderly and did not rush over, Zhao Wuxian felt slightly uneasy in his heart, but it also gave Chengxiang a respite.

He kept Wei and other non-combatants away from the front line, the military officials and the village guards behind the door and behind the wall, and the commander of the army and the army each took the national and wild people to take charge of a section of the wall.

Near the back door, behind the wall, send a soldier every step, a captain every five steps, a chief every ten steps, and a pawn commander every 100 steps.

The rest retreated dozens of paces away and cleared all the flammable debris. Because of the limited area here, it is good to leave enough space to move around and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

In the city, the townsman had already taken the people to wherever the arrows could shoot outside the township, all the firewood and grass piles and houses had been plastered with a layer of mud or moist cow and horse dung, and the earth was dug behind the door and put bags in bags. He also commanded the people of the city to keep the dogs and horses on a leash, and to keep them firmly on a leash, so that the cattle should not be allowed to cause chaos.

Zhao Wuxian himself did not go down to the watchtower, but took over a new pair of pulley bows, carrying two pots of arrows behind him, acting as an archer, and at the same time, he could also command from a high position.

He also had the idea to send arrows and dry food from the treasury to the well, and then go back to fetch some things, just in case.

"The things I said must be transported quickly, and they will be stacked in a safe and fireproof house nearby, and you can watch it yourself and be ready for it at any time!"

Jing Wei only went as promised.

Zhao Wuxian thought for a while, and then grabbed a few more Chinese people: "Go and carry the cauldron that cooks for food, build a stove behind the wall, start boiling water, and start burning it now." ”

"Bang bang!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the direction of the front door!

For a time, Chengxiang was filled with the sound of hurried percussion, and then there was a chaotic roar of chickens and dogs, and the neighing of mules and horses. The elderly, women and children who stayed at home hid inside the door, not knowing what was going on outside, and they were terrified.

"Gentleman, the thieves at the front door have arrived!" Zhao Wuxian had already asked the villagers, who were good at running, to be lightly armed between the front and back doors, and there would be an emergency report if something happened.

"I know." Zhao Wuxian's answer was very bland, the combat effectiveness of the front door bandits, he had already weighed it on the mountain road. Those people are just making up the number to fill the ravine, not the main attack tonight, with the ability of the sheep's tongue, plus more than 100 villagers and countrymen, it should be able to ensure worry-free.

The winner of tonight's Shouyi is still on the back door! The other party counted on Zhao Wuxian to be frightened before and after, regardless of priority, he would not be fooled. (To be continued......)
