After hearing Chu Dang's question, Gongwei said with loyalty:
"Uncle Chu, now the people of Lu are fighting against the enemy. As the late king, how can I wait around?!"
Chu Dang only felt that as Gongwei, he should not appear here, but when he heard what Gongwei said, he didn't think about it carefully and only said:
"That young master must follow me!"
Gongwei didn't say anything, but he didn't rush forward rashly. Together, they guarded the second floor.
Seeing that the rebels were unable to charge forward, they had no choice but to rest for a while, tied the prepared cloth strips under their feet, set up shields, hid behind them, and slowly pushed forward.
When Chu Tang saw the shield array, he couldn't help but chuckle, threw away the halberd in his hand, and picked up the big copper hammer beside him.
There was only a "boom" sound, and the copper hammer smashed straight over.
Suddenly, the rebels hiding behind the shield were caught off guard. After seeing several people being hit directly, they couldn't help but vomit blood and fell back, and behind them, everything collapsed.
When Chu Dang saw this, he couldn't help laughing wildly:
"Hahaha! Come on! Come up quickly! There are so many ways to find death in the world, why do you need to come here?"
The rebels saw how powerful Chu Dang was, and they only crowded in the passage for a while, but no one dared to go up.
Seeing Chu Dang raise the bronze hammer together again, he shouted fiercely on the shield again, and fire flew everywhere for a while. The people behind him fell down again in response...
Just like this, once or twice, Chu Dang blocked the end of the passage for a long time with only his own strength.
However, the hammer was so heavy that even Chu Dang eventually ran out of strength. Moreover, there are too many people on the other side, and the back row doesn’t know what the front row is going through, so even if someone in the front is hit hard by a heavy hammer, there will still be people behind them who will crowd them forward.
When Chu Dang saw this, he screamed angrily, but he was helpless, and the rebels who rushed up couldn't help but show their weapons...
Kong Qiu, Li Ran and others on the top floor only knew that the opponent had rushed in, but for a moment they did not know how the battle was going, and they couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
And Lu Housong couldn't hold himself back at this time and returned to the front hall.
"Kong Qing, what is the situation now?"
In this situation, Confucius had nothing to hide, so he immediately replied:
"Back to the king, the rebels have entered the high platform, and our army is resisting on the lower level. Now, the rebels should have reached the second level!"
When Lu Hou Song heard this, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart:
"Then... wouldn't it be that they will kill here soon?"
Confucius bowed and comforted:
"Please be at ease, Your Majesty. On this high platform, we are carefully deploying it at every level. It is not easy for the rebels to get up even if they are here for a while!"
When Lu Housong heard what Confucius said, he still complained:
"The reason why I put myself in danger and come here is entirely because I believe in Kong Qing. So no matter what, I ask Kong Qing to make sure that I am fine!"
When Confucius heard this, he quickly knelt down and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will ensure your safety!"
Luhou Song was sitting on the main seat and couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Hey... Quan Sandu... never thought that something like this would happen! What a misfortune for our country, Lu!"
As Lu Housong said this, he couldn't help but look at Sanhuan, while Ji Sunsi also understood:
"Your Majesty, after this incident, it is indeed clear that the 'Three Capitals' are imminent. Even if Gongshan is not in trouble today, there is no guarantee that it will not become a greater hidden danger to our Lu country in the future!"
"But right now, we still need to solve this problem first!"
Lu Housong shook his head helplessly, looked at Li Ran who was standing with Confucius, and then said:
"Hey... I wonder if you have any other good ideas?"
When Li Ran saw this, he said:
"Haha, please rest assured, Your Majesty, you will never be able to kill Gongshan Buxiu!"
Lu Housong couldn't help being surprised when he saw Li Ran's determined expression:
"Oh? Why is Mr. Ziming so sure?"
Li Ran continued to say calmly:
"Now up and down the high platform, there are soldiers all over the grass and trees. Although there are many rebels, by the time they reach the middle level, they will no longer be able to connect from end to end. When the surprise troops come out, they will have a miraculous effect!"
After hearing this, Marquis Song of Lu was doubtful, but when he saw Li Ran being so calm and composed, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and felt determined:
"Mr. Ziming is truly worthy of being a genius in the world! I also regret that I didn't pay homage to him earlier!"
Li Ran replied:
"Haha, Your Majesty, you have given me the award. The country's prosperity lies with you and many of your ministers. However, it is difficult for a person like a wild crane to build a temple. Why is it such a pity, Your Majesty?"
"Now, your Majesty has been assisted by Kong Sikou, and the three emperors are united. The Lu State is now united and in line with the way of heaven. After the fall of the three capitals, it will be revived. The peace and prosperity of the Lu State will be just around the corner!"
In fact, Li Ran had supported Lu Zhaogong before, and his relationship with Gong Yangongwei was extraordinary. Therefore, Lu Housong had always had a grudge against him before.
However, what Li Ran said now made Lu Hou Songshi quite satisfied.
"Because I am too worried, there is a lot of resentment in my speech. This is definitely not my original intention. Therefore, please don't take it to heart."
"Now that our country of Lu is in crisis, I ask you all to use your lives to protect our country and the country of Lu!"
Hearing the king's words, everyone said "promise" in unison, and they were greatly encouraged.
…
At this moment, the second floor had been completely lost. Even though Chu Dang had the courage to stand up to the pass, it was difficult to resist.
They could only fight and retreat, and reached the third floor.
On this third level, although there is no suet, as Li Ran said, they still have a backup plan.
What I saw piled in the corner of the third floor were piles of torn bamboo strips. When the defenders saw that the rebels had arrived, they picked them up one after another and threw them down the passage.
Since the bamboo strips were broken, they were extremely sharp. Soldiers wearing straw sandals would inevitably pierce their legs and feet and bleed when they stepped on them.
This is because soldiers at that time usually prepared their own straw shoes.
Some of them are in slightly better condition and wear mille-layer bottoms. Although they will slip when stepping on these bamboo strips, they will not be punctured by them.
However, in addition to the bamboo sticks, the defenders still threw down a roll of wood, but saw that bamboo nails were nailed on the roll, with the nails pointed upward. In the chaos, many rebels were injured by it.
As a result, the rebels' progress was once again hindered.
Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers suddenly opened the windows and jumped directly from the third floor!
Just because most of the rebels in Gongshan Buxiang have been stranded on the first and second floors of the high platform, there are not many people outside at this time.
And these people are the dead soldiers trained by the Ji family. They quickly rushed to the chariots hidden on both sides of the road, and took control of the remaining chariots, preparing to rush straight towards Gongshan Buxiu!
Gongwei and Wang Qi looked at each other and wanted to go out with them!
Chu Dang grabbed Gongwei's arm.
"Second Young Master, they are all going to die, what are you going to do?"
Gongwei wanted to break free from Chu Dang's hand, but he was not as strong as him and could not break free.
"Uncle Chu, I want to follow them out and capture the thieves!"
Chu Dang couldn't help but shouted:
"No! They are going to attack Gongshan Buxiu, and there is no turning back!"
Gongwei glanced at Wang Qi and saw Wang Qi's firm expression, and immediately said:
"The way of the battlefield lies in the right principles and the changes of life and death! Now the rebels are empty inside. If we can really outwit the leader of the thieves, this battle can be won without a fight!"
Chu Dang said:
"Second Young Master, you have a noble status, how can you go deep into dangerous places? You must not be reckless! Does Mr. Ziming know that Young Master is going to do this?"
Gongwei and Wang Qi came down to kill the enemy while Li Ran was accompanying Lu Housong, but Li Ran didn't know it.
Gongwei said anxiously:
"Even if my uncle doesn't know, he will definitely understand what I'm planning! How can a man be mediocre and inactive if he stands between heaven and earth? If he can accomplish this extraordinary feat, he will certainly not disgrace the name of our ancestor!"
