Chapter 250 Yan He, But He Can't!(1/2)
This time, the Japanese pirates finally didn't have to chase after him. They just needed to consider how to break through this village.
Shang Zhen and the others were watching the Japanese pirates outside the city gate building under the city wall.
Now that they are standing high, they can clearly see how many Japanese pirates are.
In fact, there are not many Japanese pirates, just five or six hundred.
But the problem is that there are not many people guarding the village, and now there are only one hundred,40 or fifty people with combat effectiveness.
Shang Zhen's group of people accounted for a hundred people, so they naturally wanted to prevent the breakthrough of this village.
However, since they shaved their heads and took the lead and joined forces with the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei did not take action.
Shang Zhen began to look at the terrain.
The height of the wall outside this village is about two meters high. Although it is not too high, it is impossible for the Japanese pirates to climb up.
There is a moat under the wall. There is not much water in the moat. In some places, mud has been exposed, but it is more like a dilute pond.
In this way, it is better to have a moat than not. At least the Japanese pirates want to lean against the wall but have to trek into the mud pond again.
As Shang Zhen speculated, there will naturally be suspension bridges if there is a moat.
Now it seems that without a long ladder, the Japanese pirates will not be able to attack for a while.
As for the Japanese pirates who continued to increase their troops, Shang Zhen could not control it, so he could only take one step at a time.
Shang Zhen saw that the situation here was just like this, so he called Qin E and turned around and walked up the ramp.
"Bench, what are you doing?" Xi Tang asked after chasing Shang Zhen's butt.
At this time, Xitang finally called Shang Zhen’s nickname again.
"I'll look around the village." Shang Zhen replied.
Before entering the village, Shang Zhen noticed that this village was built on the hillside of a small hill.
Regardless of what Zhuangzi's layout is, Shang Zhen always has to look at it in all directions. What if the Japanese pirates attack from another direction!
Qin E walked in front and introduced the situation of this Zhuangzi to Shang Zhen.
This Zhuangzi belongs to the intersection of their old Qin family and the old Wang family.
In the Ming Dynasty, this Zhuangzi was worthy of the king, but in fact, the owner of this Zhuangzi was from the old Qin family.
It is precisely because of this that this Zhuangzi was not harmed by the Japanese pirates.
Since the abandoned ship and got ashore, Shang Zhen knew that the entire area here was full of Japanese pirates' territory, so wouldn't they be chased and killed by Japanese pirates?
And after they joined forces with Zhu Xiyi, there were 140 or 50 people.
These 40 or 50 people say more or less, but wherever they go, isn’t it like a mouse crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating?
It’s not like he and Xitangnaza Bai Yuchuan have only four people, so he can hide no matter how much he wants.
So Shang Zhen wanted to find a place to settle down.
But here are all plains, with a little hill just a few feet high. Qin E, who is a land house, provided him with such a farm.
No matter what happens in the future, at least they have a foothold at present and there are still dangers to defend.
Shang Zhen and Qin E chatted while walking, and he was quite satisfied with this Zhuangzi.
This village was built against the mountain. The south-facing wall opened a gate. There was a moat and suspension bridge in front of the gate. The walls on the east and west sides were built on the hillside, and the hillside was quite steep.
As for the north, there is a cliff five or six feet high, it even saves the walls.
It seems that when the village was built here, the people who built the village considered the issue of preventing bandits and thefts.
However, in Shang Zhen's opinion, it is more than enough to prevent ordinary bandits in this way, but it is not enough to prevent strong Japanese pirates.
But now, this place can only be regarded as the most ideal place to defend.
When Qin E took Shang Zhen to the highest point behind the farm, a man from the farm followed him.
"Miss Second, three Jinyiwei went down from here just now." The man pointed to the cliff and said to Qin E.
The man's attitude seemed to be respectful. It seemed that Qin E's status in Lao Qin's family was indeed quite good.
"Why did you go down from here?" Qin E asked in surprise.
"I found a rope to climb down in our village. I can't stop them from being Jinyiwei." The man said hurriedly.
"Oh, then what did they do?" Qin E turned to ask Shang Zhen.
"I've moved the reinforcements." Shang Zhen responded casually.
There is no need to guess this matter at all.
Now that the imperial navy cannot defeat Wang Xiu's private armed forces at sea, Zhu Xi must have sent someone to send reinforcements on land.
I think that no matter how powerful the Japanese pirates are, they are only powerful on the coast and on the sea. As for the inland areas, they are limited even if they have an impact.
"Is your nickname "bench?" Qin E asked Shang Zhen curiously again.
Shang Zhen nodded with a smile, like a shy country boy.
"You are so powerful in war, you can shoot archery accurately. You are a great hero!" Qin E praised Shang Zhen again.
Shang Zhen still nodded, but stopped talking.
The man on the farm looked at Shang Zhen curiously.
If Shang Zhen is now on a bow, knife and a hand gun, it is still very eye-catching, but his current outfit is almost the same as a beggar.
Shang Zhen's current expression was like an honest country boy.
What do you say about the sturdy temperament, sharp eyes and the style of the crowded echoing people will have nothing to do with Shang Zhen!
The man was also curious why his lady would praise this honest boy so much.
Seeing that Shang Zhen refused to say more, Qin E asked again: "Why are those Jinyiwei so awesome? We have saved them, and they are all stinky?"
"We have a grudge with them." At this time, we were answering with Shang Zhen's wedding candy.
"Ah? If you have any grudges, you can save them?" Qin E said strangely.
But before Xitang could think about whether to answer her, footsteps sounded from behind. Shang Zhen and the others turned around and saw Bai Yuchuan and Nazha trot over.
"This young man has been so sad since he came here, not much the same as before." Xi Tang muttered.
But Shang Zhen only said a simple sentence: "He is afraid of the Jinyiwei."
"Full out!" Xi Tang expressed contempt for Bai Yuchuan, "So what awesome look when we were with us? He bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
Shang Zhen smiled and said, "It's right for you."
At this time, they stood at the highest point and saw that just behind Bai Yuchuan and Nazha, the Jinyiwei led by Zhu Xi had already appeared.
Moreover, he was not walking slowly, so it was fine for Zhu Xi, but Zhu Xi’s dozen of his subordinates all came over with the handle of the knife.
All the Jinyiwei looked bad, and it seemed that they were from Bai Yuchuan.
Bai Yuchuan and Nazha ran to Shang Zhen and the others. No, to be precise, Bai Yuchuan hid directly behind Shang Zhen!
It turns out that Bai Yuchuan was driven over by someone’s Jinyiwei, which is not true to Xi Tang’s words “Bullying the weak and fearing the strong”?
Then, when Naza saw that she had taken off her short bow, her right hand was already touching the stone in her skin.
The Jinyiwei, who followed them, seemed not to have seen Nazha's actions, and stopped less than two feet away from Shang Zhen and the others.
Zhu Xi still looked at Shang Zhen and the others with that cold expression.
Shang Zhen was unmoved, but he just looked at the Jinyiwei.
For a moment, no one on both sides spoke, but only the wind blew the corners of everyone's clothes.
After both sides looked at each other for a while, Zhu Xi was the first to speak.
But what he said was to Shang Zhen.
"Why do you need to help us?" Zhu Xi asked.
Shang Zhen's answer was still simple: "We are Han people."
In just a simple sentence, the originally hostile atmosphere loosened.
At this time, Qin E, who was a bystander, found that the Jinyiwei had a bad expression but was more at the Bai Yuchuan behind Shang Zhen.
"Is she the same?" Zhu Xi stretched out his hand and pointed at the saber holding the bow in his hand.
"The wife of the Han people." Shang Zhen replied that he was quick and natural.
As soon as Shang Zhen said this, there was a smile on his face.
Not only was it a stunning smile, it was a stunning beauty, but it also made the hearts of the Jinyiwei on the opposite side jump. The exotic style is indeed different!
But Bai Yuchuan's face turned red, as if he was a little embarrassed to marry a wife like Nazha.
Zhu Xi frowned.
In fact, he was also affected by the snickering, but now he must be serious because he is the leader of the Jinyiwei!
"Look at this." Zhu Xi stretched out his hand and pointed at his forehead, where there was a scar.
