Daming Junior Scholar

"The back of the castle?" Lin Man thought for a while, and said doubtfully, "The back mountain of Xujiabao is steep, how could it be touched?" "There is nothing impossible in this world if you think about it. "At this time, He Jiaan has no doubts. The Japanese pirates must have attacked Xujiabao from the back mountain. As for the steep mountain, the Japanese pirates can travel lightly.

In the Xu family castle, with the current strength of the Xu family, it is very difficult to defeat these Japanese pirates, so it will be like a wolf joining a herd of sheep.

As long as you take a little risk, you can get quite a lot of profits. This business is indeed worthwhile, and Lin Man couldn't help but nodded his head without any doubts. He looked at He Jia'an seriously and said, "Mr. He, what should we do? Just order it."

"In the field, even if we can defeat the Japanese pirates, we have to pay a very painful price, so..." After a pause, He Jiaan continued: "Since they want to fight a siege, let's let them feel at ease ground attack."

It is not a comfortable thing for anyone to be woken up while sleeping soundly, let alone the owner of the contemporary Xujiabao, Xu Dong who speaks for himself.

The endless urging sound kept echoing in his ears, and Xu Dong couldn't help but replied in a rough voice: "Who is it?" Just as he finished speaking, someone beside him suddenly uttered a 'beep' and said coquettishly : "Third Master, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, let's sleep with you." Although Xu Dong said nothing, he sat up honestly, put on some clothes for himself, came to the door, and asked again worriedly: "What's the matter. "

"Third Lord, it's me, Xu Jie, and there are visitors from outside the castle." A voice from outside replied immediately.

Xu Dong was taken aback for a moment, how could there be visitors in the middle of the night?Some of them should be evil guests, there is no guest who would disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night, so he couldn't help but reply in a deep voice: "Whoever he is, let him wait outside the castle, and we will talk about it tomorrow when it dawns."

"Third Master, I can't wait." Xu Jie said anxiously: "Mr. He from the militia came outside, and... the entire militia." "Ah?" Upon hearing that the militia led by He Jia'an came outside, This time Xu Dong was taken aback, and the drowsiness he still had just now was swept away, and he opened the door directly, no matter how bitter the cold wind outside, he asked with a frown

: "Mr. He ever said what is the purpose of coming here?"

Xu Jie shook his head instead: "Mr. He just said to ask the third master to go out quickly, there is a very urgent matter to discuss with you."

It was very urgent. Just hearing these four words made Xu Dong feel dizzy for a while. He hurried back to the house, put on his clothes, and took Xu Jie to rush towards the gate of Xujiabao.

At this time, there is still some time before dawn, and it is the darkest time of night, and the bitter cold wind makes Xu Dong shiver for a while, and he is very curious about what happened to He Jiaan, so he ran to him in the middle of the night Come.Not long after, the two arrived at the city wall of Xujiabao. Since it was attacked by Japanese pirates last time, the city wall of Xujiabao has been strengthened again. After reaching the city wall, Xu Dong saw that many torches had been lit outside the wall. , take a photo of the nearby

It was brightly lit, and a few war horses were parked at the front of the team, and the person sitting upright in the middle was He Jiaan, whoever it was.

Xu Dong clasped his fists on the city wall, and said loudly, "Mr. He, come to Xujiabao so late, what difficulties have you encountered?"

He Jia'an looked up and saw that the person on the city wall was indeed Xu Dong, but he didn't feel like shouting out the fact that the Japanese pirates had come. If the people in the city misunderstood him, it would be troublesome.But here comes the problem again, this gate can not be opened at any time, the city gate will not be opened easily when it is not dawn, after all, there are not many guards near the city gate at this time, in case you are tricked into opening the city rush in after the door

What can be done?

So after He Jia'an thought about it, he got off the horse by himself, and said to Xu Dong on the city wall, "Third Master, first put a rope down and drag me in, and then I will explain to you what happened. "Xu Dong originally thought that He Jiaan would let him open the city gate, so he would be very embarrassed. Since He Jiaan asked to hang himself into the city wall, Xu Dong was naturally relieved. After a while, the prepared hanging basket was sent down. , He Jiaan

Sitting in the hanging basket, he was quickly pulled in.

"Mr. He has worked hard, go take a rest and warm up first." By the light of the fire, Xu Dong could also see that He Jia'an was terribly cold, so he hurriedly wanted him to take a rest first.

"There's no rush to take a break. I have to talk to the third master branch first."

"Please tell me, Mr. He." He Jiaan looked around Xu Dong, then took a step forward, leaned into Xu Dong's ear and whispered, "The pirates are here."

Chapter 371 Doubtful

In the middle of the night, the seaside breeze blew, and layers of waves were blown to the shore, and after a bang, they retreated again. After a short time, the waves came again, and the cycle continued.Different from the beach during the day, there is a stench around the seaside at night. If it is smelled by those who just came from the inland to the seaside, they will definitely feel deeply tired of the sea, but for those who are at the seaside native

For those who are older, this smell is so friendly.Beside the tent of the Japanese pirates, the fire in the fire has already weakened, and only some substances that have been burned into carbon still emit a faint red light. The temperature in the air is so cold that people can't sleep. I feel that the Japanese pirates have already jumped out of the tent

Li got out, wrapped in thick clothes, and began to trot back and forth, trying to warm up his body quickly.

Not far from the Japanese pirates' camp, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them from the dark, but Zhang Shenglong stood out among the crowd.I don't want to come back here. What I promised He Jiaan was to help him find the traces of the pirates. Now that the pirates find He Jiaan, they should abide by the promise and let me go. people

I was brought here, and I have been guarding these Japanese pirates all the time, and I don't know how to leave.

Just when Zhang Shenglong was thinking wildly, he felt someone touch his arm, and he turned his head hurriedly, but saw someone approaching him in the dark night, handed him something, and said in a low voice: "Brother, eat something. "

"Thank you." Zhang Shenglong groped and felt that what the other party handed over should be a piece of cake, and being shocked by the cold wind, the cake was as frozen as a stone.

After taking a bite, he didn't even bite off a piece of cake except for a few drops of saliva. Zhang Shenglong felt a little embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "How do you eat this cake?"

"Hehe." A few suppressed laughter came from around, and then someone said: "Put the cake in your mouth for a while, and you will be able to bite after a while."

It's really knowledgeable. I didn't expect this cake to be eaten in this way. Zhang Shenglong tried to suck it for a while, and sure enough, the cake became softer. He finally took a bite and asked curiously: "Do you usually eat this cake?" Is that how you eat it?"

"Of course." A voice replied, and then said: "Scouts are like this, but it will be fine when we return to the camp. The rations of our scouts are the best in the militia. Every meal has fish and meat. .”

It sounded pretty good, Zhang Shenglong asked curiously again: "Then how much salary do you get every month?"

"Why, you also want to be a scout?" The voice on the other side revealed a hint of pride, and then replied: "Every sixty-two every month."

so much?

Zhang Shenglong was also taken aback. If it was six taels a month, one tael would be more than 70 taels, which is much better than doing coolies outside. Otherwise, he would try to talk to He Jiaan and tell himself Leave it alone.

Just when Zhang Shenglong was thinking about how to stay, he suddenly heard a 'shush', and then heard that voice say: "The Japanese pirates have moved."

... Xu Dong's face was frozen, or he was frightened by He Jiaan's words, and he looked abnormally pale against the firelight. If someone said this to him, he would definitely not believe it. The reality of Xujiabao in the next battle

His strength was exhausted, but after all, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and he still guarded such a tall city wall, even if the Japanese pirates came, he might not be able to take advantage of it.

But He Jiaan still came, and he pulled all the members of the militia here. Doesn't that mean that he is not very optimistic about Xujiabao's defense? Could it be that the Japanese pirates are really so powerful?

Since He Jiaan arrived overnight, Xu Dong also realized that the situation was very urgent, and quickly asked in a low voice, "Is the news accurate?"

He Jiaan nodded, and replied in a low voice: "The scouts of the militia have found the traces of the Japanese pirates. There are about 160 people, and...all of them are real Japanese." In the Japanese country at that time, some daimyo had only so many people under their command. This time when Xu Dong heard that there were actually 160 Japanese pirates, he couldn't help but frowned. He thought about the ratio of the two sides. With Xu Jiabao's strength alone, there must be nothing to do with the opponent, but with He Jiaan's militia, the situation will be different. The two sides can add up to four or five

Hundreds of people, and occupying a favorable location, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with these Japanese pirates.Now that the matter has been confirmed, Xu Dong has to make a statement. After all, the people from the militia are here to help him, so how can they let them stay outside the city wall and suffer from the cold wind? open the gates of the vigilante

People come in.After the members of the militia came in, someone went to arrange their board and lodging. At this time, Xu Dong led He Jiaan and Lin Man back to his yard. After lighting the lights, he ordered someone to bring hot tea. Carefully asked: "Mr.

, it’s not that I don’t believe your words, but the current Xujiabao is different from before. Not only the pier has repaired the archery tower, but even the city walls in the fort have been raised a lot. How could the Japanese pirates have such courage and dare to attack? Xujiabao? "For Xu Dong, He Jia'an naturally didn't need to hide it, so he told how Zhang Zhong and his son discovered the Japanese pirates and how he judged that the Japanese pirates would attack Xujiabao. As for Xu Dong's worries, He Jia'an also had his own

idea.There should not be too much time left for everyone. He Jiaan simply pointed out the loopholes in the back mountain of Xujiabao. Although those terrains are dangerous, it is not impossible for trained people to walk there, so as long as Japanese pirates

If Xujiabao is caught off guard, they can directly attack the fort, and then it will be too late to dispatch troops.

Japanese pirates will attack from the back mountain?Even if Mr. Xu Dong and Mr. Xu have been born and died for so many years, he still feels that He Jiaan's words are not very reliable. When Xujiabao was first established, he took a fancy to the dangerous terrain of the back mountain and had no worries at all. He chose the site here. As a result, Now you say that there is a big loophole, how can Xu Dong accept it, but He Jiaan's meaning has been made very clear, and he can't directly refute it, so he can only say euphemistically: "Although the back mountain is the key point. , but code

The head and the city gate are also very important, how about this, you and I each send 20 people to guard the back mountain, as soon as we find the traces of the Japanese pirates, we will report back immediately, and reinforcements will come in a hurry. "It is completely impossible to block 40 people with 160 people, but it is good to report a message. He Jiaan hesitated and said: "That's not as good as this. Let's put the large army between the front mountain and the back mountain. Which direction will go first?" hair

Where Japanese pirates are found, go to support them. "" This method is good, just do as Mr. He said. "

Chapter 372

The sky was turning white, and He Jiaan received the news from the scouts again, but the content of the news made He Jiaan a little dumbfounded. The direction that the team of Japanese pirates was heading was not Xujiabao, but more like heading towards Chaozhuang, another nearby village.

.

This... Is it a problem with my own judgment?It is said that one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and he is talking about the current situation of He Jiaan. If it is true that he has made a mistake in his judgment, then the matter will be a big deal. There are so many people in Xujiabao. Japanese pirates looted other villages

Son, what is the role of setting up this militia?So many people support the establishment of the militia, isn't it just to let the militia play a role in protecting everyone?

Now the question arises, whether to stick to Xujiabao and wait for the Japanese pirates to arrive, or to send troops out of the city immediately. If only the cavalry is used, they should arrive at Chaozhuang in time before the Japanese pirates arrive.

All eyes have been focused on He Jiaan, everyone is waiting for him to make a final decision, whether to support or stay behind, everyone is waiting for He Jiaan's judgment.In He Jia'an's heart, he still doesn't understand the fact that the Japanese pirates did not attack Xujiabao, but went to Chaozhuang. The Japanese pirates ran all the way from the Japanese country to Daming, and they probably didn't just kill a few people. bread and silver,
