The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 111 The Battle of the Statue Sacha River

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Shenjing, Zhaowuhou Mansion.

"Hey Yo! Hey Yo!"

The neat chant sounded in the garden of the Hou Mansion.

Two craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were directing a group of hard workers to slowly move a Zhang Xu tall white marble statue in from the back door of the Hou Mansion.

The statue is the portrait of Jia Jing and Lin Daiyu.

On the base of the white marble, Jia Jing stood tall in a long robe and cloak, and Lin Daiyu, who was dressed up next to her, leaned gently beside Jia Jing, and the two looked at each other.

lifelike!

Because the statue was too tall, in order to move the statue into the mansion, two craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry even tore down a section of the wall around the back door of the Hou Mansion after reporting to Lin Daiyu.

In the nearby courtyard, Baochai, Xiangyun, Baoyu, Jia Lian and Sanchun were all here to watch.

"I saw that statue just now, and it looks exactly like a real person!"

Shi Xiangyun pulled Xichun, and shared his peeping results with a smile.

Xichun also smiled and said: "Don't tell me, Third Brother Jing has more and more crooked ideas to please Sister Lin!"

Lin Daiyu, who was next to her, blushed when she told the two, "I just said something casually that day, who knew the truth, so I asked the Ministry of Industry to carve such a large portrait and send it over!"

"..."

After hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Shi Xiangyun and Xichun said they didn't want to talk.

……

Outside the yard, Xueyan ran in with a smile, "The old lady is here!"

As soon as the words were finished, Wang Xifeng came in outside supporting Jia's mother.

Several people rushed forward to greet Jia Mu.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Old ancestor, when the third younger brother Jing comes back, you have to talk about him well. It's nothing more than showing affection with sister Lin in front of us on weekdays. Now you still carve such a big portrait to show off!"

"It's really Feng Lazi, with such a sharp mouth!" Jia Mu also laughed, "However, the portraits of Brother Jing and Daiyu are carved like real people!"

"Old lady, I know this!"

Shi Xiangyun on one side smiled and said: "Just now I asked two craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry over there, and they said that this statue was made by a master stone carver from the Ministry of Industry. Things, this time Jing Sange specially asked for it from the emperor, and asked for that huge white marble stone!"

Wang Xifeng was stunned, and said: "No wonder, I just said, such a large white marble stone is rarely seen, so it is a royal use in the palace!"

……

After a while, the Lifus erected the statue at the location designated by Lin Daiyu, and then under the command of the two craftsmen, cleaned up the beginning and end along the way and restored the damaged places, and the project was considered complete.

Two craftsmen came over and asked Lin Daiyu to resign from afar.

Lin Daiyu ordered Zicuckoo to take out two generous red envelopes and gave them to the two of them, and rewarded each of the hardworking men with a silver pouch.

Everyone was busy shouting their thanks without mentioning them.

Later, Lin Daiyu asked the craftsman to bring a richer red envelope to the master craftsman in charge of carving portraits in the Ministry of Industry, and told him to pass on a message, saying that after a while, when Jia Jing came back from the border, I would like to thank that Great craftsman.

The craftsman hurriedly nodded in response, and conveyed the words on his behalf when he went back.

Seeing Lin Daiyu handling things in an orderly manner, Jia's mother smiled and said: "If you really are married, this family is well managed!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Lin Daiyu also laughed, but looking at the tall portrait not far away, she couldn't help feeling longing for the distant people...

………………

Saibei, near Sachahewei.

On a low hill, Jia Jing looked at the Tatar army firmly surrounding the Acropolis.

Putting away the binoculars, Jia Jing said with a smile: "Our luck is really good. We chose this direction, but we just avoided the Tatar artillery!"

Immediately, the brows were slightly frowned again.

"At this time, there must not be much food and supplies in the Acropolis, right?"

Suppressing the worries in his heart, Jia Jing summoned four cavalry captains and explained:

"This time we dispatched a total of 1000 cavalry. After a while, I will lead [-] cavalry myself. The remaining [-] cavalry will also be divided into two teams. The four of you will each lead [-] horses and form a square formation.

Later, the two teams followed the general to rush to kill the enemy, and the other two teams temporarily hid themselves under the low mountain.

If there are pursuers passing by later, they will immediately kill them, cut them off at the waist first, and then cut off the pursuit!Together with the other cavalry who turned back, eat the chasing soldiers directly!
Well, go and follow Ben's instructions! "

The four cavalry captains all respectfully said: "I will obey the general's order!"

Jia Jing nodded, and then signaled the school lieutenants to retreat from the whole army.

……

After a cup of tea, a deep trumpet sounded on the short hill.

In the sound of horns, four thousand-man cavalry phalanx rushed down from the short mountain, and amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, with an incomparable momentum, like a huge wave that could lift mountains and seas, they rushed to the distance. The Tatar army rushed over.

Naturally, such a large formation was quickly discovered by the Tatar army.

Immediately, in the Tatar army, infantry phalanxes came out one after another, and faced Jia Jing's cavalry, they set up their shields and spears.

The shields that reflected the sun's brilliance were put together, and under the sun, it seemed to form a shining steel wall.

……

"Ugh..."

Under Jia Jing's signal, another low-pitched horn sounded in the cavalry phalanx.

As a result, the Tatar army, which was already waiting in formation, saw that the four cavalry phalanx behind Jia Jing suddenly changed amidst the sound of the horn.

In a short period of time, the two leading cavalry phalanxes changed from a square shape to a pointed arrow cluster shape.

The sharpest place is dozens of well-equipped heavy cavalry.

The two cavalry phalanx at the rear moved closer in an instant, leaning closely against the sagittal cavalry phalanx in front.

Just like that, two sharp long arrows with arrow clusters and arrow bodies were formed!
……

The sun of May, sprinkled from the sky.

It was sprinkled on this passionate battlefield, it was sprinkled on the resolute faces, and it was also sprinkled on the blades of armor and swordsmen...

As a result, the original warmth is no longer there, and now there is only boundless chill!

……

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching.

One is a seemingly indestructible iron wall, and the other is an indestructible sharp arrow. Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the battlefield, they collide with each other!

The loud bang instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

Like a mountain overturning, like a river and sea turning upside down!

The arrow with the heavy cavalry as the sharp point pierced fiercely into the indestructible copper wall and iron wall.

The Tatar infantry standing in the front, together with their own severely deformed shields, were instantly knocked into the air by the boundless force of the impact, falling far behind in the army formation, smashed to death and injured.

In just an instant, the sharp arrow tore a huge gap in the iron wall!

And with the frantic influx of cavalry behind, this gap is still expanding.

Four teams of cavalry, the two teams of cavalry turned into arrows, after breaking through the formation of the Tatar infantry, rushed straight into the depths of the Tatar army.

Behind, the cavalry as the body of the arrow circled a large arc in front of the Tatar army.

A burst of arrows rained down from the sky densely as if they didn't want money, and they turned their backs on the Tatar infantry who wanted to turn around and surround the Dazhou cavalry inside.

In the distance, the cavalry of the Tatar army finally assembled. A cavalry team of thousands of people charged straight out from the Tatar central army, and charged towards the two cavalry phalanxes Jia Jing left outside...
