"Which one of us is following which one? How can we distinguish each other as a family?"
Nie Chen smiled and sat next to Weng Qiuchan.
"Tch, who's in the same family as you? You're so shameless. Hurry up and eat."
Weng Qiuchan opened the lid, took out the food from the food box and put it on the table.
Nie Chen laughed heartily when he saw this.
"Oh my, it's good to have a good wife at home. After working all day, I'm almost exhausted. It feels so good to be able to eat hot meals when I get home."
"Gungun, who is your good wife? Get out of here after you finish your meal. If it weren't for the fact that you invented weapons, I wouldn't cook for you."
Weng Qiuchan is always tough-talking.
Nie Chen had long been used to it and didn't mind at all. He picked up the steamed buns and chicken drumsticks and started to eat them.
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes and said,
"Look, it's almost the middle of the night. Others have already gone back to sleep, so why are you still working?"
"Are you caring about your husband? Your husband is very happy."
"I care about you big-headed devil. I hate you for making me unable to rest after waiting for so long."
Weng Qiuchan unknowingly accepted the title of lady, thinking that this guy was being thick-skinned.
"If I can make one more broken crossbow before Black Wind Ridge attacks the mountain, our chances of winning will increase by one point, and a few fewer brothers will die."
Nie Chen said lightly.
When Weng Qiuchan heard this, his face changed slightly and his tone softened.
"Well, let me ask you, is what you said to Zhang Taoshan today true?"
"Which sentence?"
"Oh, that's the last sentence."
"Oh, it's true. If they want to snatch you away, they have to step over my body."
Nie Chen chuckled, looked at Weng Qiuchan, and said,
"But here's the thing, if I really die, you have to run away from the back mountain as soon as possible. Run as far as you can. It's best to run to your hometown and join the king who your father followed back then.
Don't be stupid and fight to the death for me. It's not worth it. "
Weng Qiuchan had two big, watery eyes and pretended to be disdainful,
"Tch, do you really think so?"
"Of course, you can't even protect your own woman, how can you be a gentleman?"
"Then tonight you..."
Weng Qiuchan didn't say these three words, don't leave. He was thin-skinned. Anyway, this guy would definitely not leave at night.
Nie Chen didn't pay attention to her reaction and concentrated on cooking.
After eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth, picked up Weng Qiuchan and walked to the bed.
His overbearing and unreasonable attitude did not arouse the slightest resentment from Weng Qiuchan.
The two of them took off their clothes and lay down on the bed with a tacit understanding.
That night, Nie Chen found that Weng Qiuchan was surprisingly proactive and unlocked many new postures. Sure enough, as long as this woman's mind changed, it would be an earth-shaking change.
Do you want to try biting and wrestling in a while...
Nie Chen fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the intense training began again.
The boss is much better at training the army than Nie Chen. Nie Chen doesn't need to worry about it and can concentrate on production.
Coal and iron ore from the mine next door are continuously sent in, and then they are turned into various weapons.
Nie Chen was busy and tired, but he also gained a lot, building eight broken military crossbows.
The carpenters have learned how to make crossbows, and there is no need for Nie Chen to do it himself anymore, because Nie Chen gives them a lot of wages, and now they won't leave even if they are driven down the mountain.
That night, Nie Chen went back very late. After eating in Weng Qiuchan's room, he hugged her and had a hearty fight. Because he was too tired, he didn't study any new positions and fell asleep again. past.
At noon on the third day, Nie Chen was inspecting the broken military crossbows riding on the earthworks, when suddenly Skinny Monkey ran over on horseback from the foot of the mountain.
"First Master, Second Master, the troops from Black Wind Ridge are here!"
Hearing this, Nie Chen, Dazhuang, and the head of the family all gathered around and said,
"Where are you?"
"We've reached the top of the mountain in the south. Once we get down from the top of the mountain, we can go up to our Qingfeng Mountain. We can get there in an hour at most. There are about six or seven hundred people."
"Hmph, there are only six to seven hundred people who want to take over our village. They are so delusional that they call the brothers and bring them with them and follow me!"
The leader waved his hand, and all the more than 200 people behind him followed suit.
Except for the thirty people who controlled the broken army crossbow, all the people with black knives and repeating crossbows followed down the mountain.
Each of these people put their black knives on their backs and followed the headmaster and Nie Chen Dazhuang down the mountain.
Arriving halfway up the mountain, on the two slopes next to the main road, the headmaster ordered,
"Arrowmen, all go into the forest and hide in the trees. As soon as the enemy enters the trap, shoot them with arrows."
"As you command!"
"For the rest, bring me all the prepared rolling logs and rocks!"
"As you command!"
In order to prevent the Black Wind Ridge from attacking, the headmaster had already ordered people to move the polished stones and logs to the bottom of these two hillsides.
They are condescending and of course want to use their advantage.
Soon, everything was ready.
The boss said,
"When the time comes, no one is allowed to be impulsive or go head-to-head with the enemy. Just obey my orders. If you are told to withdraw, you will withdraw!"
"Understood, Master!"
As the largest evil force in Qingshui County, Heifengling has naturally attracted much attention. After learning that Qingfeng Village had offended Heifengling a few days ago, many bandit dens paid attention to this place, and some even sent spies to come from afar. Looking at it, he was just waiting for Qingfeng Village to be destroyed and come over to seize the Qingfeng Village territory.
Soon, many heads appeared at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone looked around and saw two people leading six to seven hundred people, all coming up the mountain.
Of those two people, one of them, Goatee, Nie Chen knew was Zhang Taoshan, but the other didn't. Only after asking Da Zhuang did he find out that it was Zhang Taohai.
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Heh, it seems that Zhang Taonian really values us this time, and even sent out his two younger brothers.
It's a bit interesting. Instead of rushing up in a swarm, they spread out and went up the mountain through the mountain roads and woods. "
Hearing this, the headmaster sneered and said,
"If they have any brains, they should first send a small number of scouts to explore the road, and then let the large force come up after they find out that there is no danger.
Nie Chen, if you lead troops to fight in the future, you must not make such a mistake. Remember, scouts are the eyes of your army. If you don't find out the road conditions and the enemy's situation, you will be fighting with your eyes closed. "
Nie Chen nodded. He also knew that the master was teaching him through words and deeds, cultivating his knowledge about war.
The two brothers Zhang Taohai and Zhang Taoshan, armed with machetes, led the bandits up the mountain aggressively. Most of these bandits were holding rusty cast iron knives, and a few even held wooden sticks, hammers and other objects.
It seems that Black Wind Ridge is not wealthy due to its rapid expansion, and cannot even equip all its members with swords.
