Chen Wujiu rode back at some point and looked at the camp in amazement:
"General Li's men are truly remarkable. They were able to set up a camp like this in just half an hour!"
"This camp is much more advanced than what I learned in the academy."
Wei Wuyin smiled and said, "In my opinion, you should take a good rest, Junior Brother."
"We've both lived like dogs at our age."
Chen Wujiu patted Wei Wuyin's shoulder and said, "Old Wei, you take a break here. I'll go out for a couple more rounds."
After saying that.
Chen Wujiu walked forward and snatched a spear from an unfamiliar guard.
Then he stepped onto the wooden fort and shouted, "Wives of the soldiers across the way! You're men! Come and fight Master Chen!"
"Oh my god! A one-on-one duel?" Wei Wuyin was furious: "Old Chen, you're not trying to have fun and deliberately lead me into trouble, are you?"
Chen Wujiu took off his shirt, revealing his muscular back. "Old Wei, you don't really think of me as a civil servant, do you?"
"Master Zhong's lineage's reputation was earned through fighting on the battlefield!"
"I've been suppressed for too long these years. I really miss this feeling of blood boiling..."
Chen Wujiu looked excited.
"Chen Wujiu, why are you pretending to be a hero!" Wei Wuyin cursed in anger.
Chen Wujiu chuckled: "If we can dampen their spirits and they don't dare to fight, we'll win this battle. If they dare to fight, we'll win big."
The guards were all brave and aggressive men, and they immediately started to cheer, "Master Chen, well done!"
"Soldiers! Let's fight!"
"You damn soldier! Why are you pretending to be a grandson?"
Xie Wanshi frowned and discussed a few words with the commander next to him.
Then an armored soldier jumped on his horse, holding a long spear, and rushed out of the formation.
Lei Shaohuang stretched his neck and watched Chen Wujiu jump down from the fort and run away on foot.
When he was still about ten feet away from the enemy cavalry, he stepped forward with his feet and thrust out his spear like a dragon.
The knight swung his spear and collided with Chen Wujiu's spear. The spear immediately bent and swung away, and the spear tip pierced into the soil.
The knight reacted very quickly, immediately throwing away the lance handle and taking off the saber on the side of the saddle.
Just as he grasped the hilt of the knife, his chest suddenly felt cold, and then his body flew out sideways.
Chen Wujiu stabbed the enemy rider off his horse with a spear, then seized the horse and galloped across the field in demonstration.
The knight fell to the ground, blood gushing from his back.
Lei Shaohuang shouted, "Master Chen, you have great skills!"
The guards behind the fort also cheered loudly.
Wei Wuyin said sternly, "Chen Wujiu! Have you had enough of the limelight? Why don't you just get back here? Damn it! Can't you see they're setting up their crossbows?"
Following Xie Wanshi's order, the crossbowmen of the palace soldiers stepped on the crossbow arm with their feet, pulled the crossbow string with both hands, used their waist strength to pull up the trigger, and then raised the crossbow.
"put!"
With the commander's command, dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards Chen Wujiu at the same time with a "bang" sound.
Chen Wujiu was riding a horse to demonstrate, and he was the only target in the open space, with nowhere to hide.
Just as he was about to be shot into a hedgehog, he turned his body to the side and suddenly disappeared.
A dozen crossbow bolts flew through the air, and the rest struck the warhorse. The horse was killed instantly before it could even neigh, the powerful force of the bolts sending it tumbling over as if struck by a heavy log.
A figure flashed beside the saddle, and it was Chen Wujiu.
With his superb riding skills, he put one foot in the stirrup and hid his whole body behind the horse. Not only was he unharmed, he also took the opportunity to turn around, threw his spear and killed a crossbowman, and then took the opportunity to rush back while the crossbowman was stringing the bow.
The hills and hills were filled with cheers, and everyone shouted, "Master Chen! What a man! So brutal!"
"He truly is worthy of being the Three-Eyed God General descended to earth!"
The guards lived in the refugee camp for several days.
I have heard many legends about Chen Wujiu.
Now it seems that it really lives up to its reputation.
A vicious man like Chen Wujiu was actually just a small prefect of Jingzhou.
The empress of the Great Zhou is such a complete tyrant!
No wonder some people would rebel!
Chen Wujiu leaped back into the wooden fort, raised one hand high, and shouted with full energy: "Victory!"
Wei Wuyin didn't want to pay any attention to this guy. He just stared at the person opposite him and gritted his teeth, "Damn! Xie Wanshi is so cruel. There are so many people!"
Chen Wujiu smiled and said, "Judging from the flag signals, there are about 600 soldiers coming in, and there are more than 200 at the entrance of the valley, so a total of 800 to 900."
The horn sounded from afar, and everyone looked at the military formation in the distance. The sound was extremely shocking!
Wei Wuyin hurriedly asked, "How many of us are left?"
Wu Da said, "There are a total of twenty-seven families here. Excluding the dead and wounded, there are still one hundred and twenty-four people. Most of the young masters have been put away in the mountains."
Wei Wuyin was still frightened and muttered, "Over a hundred crossbows, Xie Wanshi is really willing to spend money."
"Don't worry."
Chen Wujiu pointed to the open space at the foot of the mountain and explained, "Wu Dadao and his men have cleared out all the trees within a hundred paces of the wooden fort. If those crossbowmen fire their crossbows in the forest, their arrows will be wasted."
"If you come out, you'll be within the range of arrows."
Wei Wuyin was a little skeptical and asked in confusion, "How can a bow reach a place where a crossbow can't reach?"
Chen Wujiu laughed and teased, livening up the atmosphere: "Old Wei, the teacher must have been distracted during class, right?"
Wei Wuyin cursed angrily, "I'm not a warmongerer, how can I have the energy to learn so many battle formations!"
"You must take a proper rest and focus more on other subjects!"
Chen Wujiu smiled and explained, "The crossbow is mainly used for horizontal shooting."
