In Xiliang last year, the Mobei wolf thief had no more than two hundred people, and he was assassinated by Shen Luoyan one after another. This caused the wolf thief to stay away from Xiliang and wander around Ming and surrounding areas. It took less than a year to reach it. Two thousand people.
Two hundred people are bandits and bandits, but the scale is more than a thousand. No matter in terms of management or financial resources, robbery alone cannot survive. This is no longer the strength of bandits, but is equivalent to an army that has begun to take shape.
Daming would not raise the bandits for trouble. Reminiscent of the repeated conflicts in the surrounding areas of the Ming since the beginning of autumn, one thought was overwhelming. This wolf thieves army is most likely a mercenary funded by the forces of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The gunpowder dissipated, and Yuan Jingang said that the explosive on the top of the mountain did not detonate for some reason.
The mountain was densely packed, looking like an ant, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was a murderous knife.
Where did the great master have experienced such a scene, took a breath and asked me, what should I do? I spread my hands, how do I know.
Although Liu Qingfeng and I have been fighting for a long time, they are only fighting in the rivers and lakes. After all, they are not duels on the battlefield. If dozens of people can lead them to break through, but the battle of thousands of people, even if you line up to kill, it is estimated. It takes a day or two to kill.
When Xiao Qianliang was drinking with me, he discussed with me the issue of the combat power of a master of the arena and the army. At that time, he also asked a rather silly question, why the court did not recruit masters of the arena to form an army.
Xiao Qianliang said that fighting on the battlefield is different from fighting among the rivers and lakes. One-rank masters can fight a hundred people, but ten first-rank masters may not be able to beat a thousand people. If tens of thousands of people slay a hundred jianghu masters, they only need to pay a few hundred people to kill them all. The military's particular tactical coordination and revitalization command are different from the fighting courage of the warriors and lakes. Therefore, the masters recruited by the military can be used as scouts and spies. Once the battle is on the battlefield, the masters of the arena will not have much influence on the situation of the battle.
Everyone looked at Zhou Dingbei one after another. He is the defender of Xuanfu and the general of the Northern Army, with rich experience in the battlefield. Only rely on him to break this dilemma.
I thought it was a bandit, but I didn't expect that Ding Bei Army was in an ambush and became a turtle in the urn. Zhou Guangding's face was gloomy and uncertain.
The conflict with Dingbei Army just now is not a problem when facing the wolf thief at the foot of the mountain. I said General Zhou. There may have been some misunderstandings just now. Now, although the number of the Central Plain Escort and Zhenyuan Escort is small, we all have some martial arts skills. Body, if you have a place where you can get us, just let us know.
Zhou Guangding is also an old ginger who has been on the battlefield. At this time, he doesn't care about what he has just done, and he said in a deep voice. Seeing the situation under the mountain, the other party has come prepared.
Liu Qingfeng interrupted and said, more than just coming here prepared, it is simply catching turtles in the urn. Zhou Guangding displeased, how do you talk. Liu Qingfeng was not convinced, saying that I pay so much tax every year, as the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you rushed to fight. I said you would die without saying a few words.
On the top of the mountain, the Ming army has only seven or eight hundred people, and this place is seven or eighty miles away from Xuan Mansion. Fortunately, the Dingbei Army had strict rules for the Japanese army, and the commander did not speak, and the rest of them stood with their soldiers and their faces were calm.
The mountain path is extremely narrow, with only seven or eight people standing side by side, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zhou Guangding observed the terrain and issued several orders in succession to divide hundreds of people into small teams, with dozens of people in each team, deploying defenses from the mountainside, one team per 100 meters, collecting rocks and rolling logs on the top of the mountain, and doing a good job of defense.
You are all in the rivers and lakes, with good arrow skills. Please follow the deputy general Sui with some bows and arrows to help guard the mountain. The rest will check if there is another way nearby to prevent the culprits from sneaking. We marched in a hurry tonight, and only brought three days of rations. I beg you guys to help us see the situation of the grain and grass in the mountains.
Although Zhou Guangding's character is not good, the marching war is better than us, and the tactics of using the terrain and blocking in stages are probably the best choice today.
The lieutenants and lieutenants deployed them separately. Fortunately, the explosive exploded and there were a lot of rubble in the mountain. Before long, five or six lines of defense were prepared from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
A horn sounded, and the wolf thief began to attack the mountain.
Before the imperial court killed the wolf thief in Mobei, it was still unsuccessful, because the wolf stole without a trace, went without a trace, did not have direct contact with the imperial court, and acted fiercely, and the general forces had nothing to do with them. Now, the wolf thief has given up the best riding warfare, learned infantry to attack the mountains, abandoning the long and using the short, and suffered a big loss when he first contacted in the first year.
After a shower of arrows, rolling logs and boulders fell, dozens of wolf thieves could not dodge, and their lives were killed on the spot. But after all, the wolf thief is a murderous and ruthless character. The silver mask wolf head, with a wave of his long arm, three or four hundred people swarmed up under the cover of the archers.
The dozen or so people in the lead looked extraordinary martial arts, holding shields, resisting a wave of arrows, and moving forward step by step.
Hundred feet, fifty feet, and thirty feet.
Whoosh whoosh.
Dozens of javelins were thrown from the wolf thief group, carrying power and rushing towards the Ming army, and a dozen Ming army died on the spot.
Everyone was frightened watching from the top of the mountain, there was no fancy moves, no qi, and the lives of life, like knives cutting leeks, died one after another. The screams filled the ears of those who were seriously injured and not dead, making it chilling.
There is no impassioned mobilization, no righteous determination, the two sides are fighting each other like a machine, the sound of rolling rocks, hissing, and the sound of wind, floating in the mountains.
More than twenty feet away, the gong rang on the mountain.
The first line of defense did not fight with the opponent, but retreated one after another, leaving dozens of corpses. The second line of defense, rain of arrows, covered the retreat of the people in front.
This was Zhou Guangding's established tactic. Before reaching the top of the mountain, he would not engage in encounters and rely on bows and arrows, rolling logs, boulders and wolf thief to deal with.
The first line of defense was broken, and nearly a hundred people were damaged by the wolf thief. Three or four hundred wolf thief joined in and launched a charge to the top of the mountain.
The battlefield is like a meat grinder, harvesting the lives of both sides, but this is the battle, there is no alternative. The second line of defense did not last long, and the third line of defense was withdrawn. The two lines of defense were broken. Although they had not touched, the wolf thief had killed or injured four to five hundred people, and the Ming army had also killed or injured nearly a hundred people.
If this continues, I am afraid that the five lines of defense will be broken before dawn.
At the foot of the mountain began to dispatch troops and more and more wolf thieves went into battle. Zhou Guangding gave orders one after another to command everyone to meet the enemy. The wolf thieves were less than 300 meters away from the top of the mountain. Zhou Guangding began to sweat on his forehead.
Liu Qingfeng watched the blood spurt, saying that I would also help, take a standard longhorn bow and shoot with an arrow.
Whoosh whoosh.
More than a dozen arrows were shot, and none of them were falsely sent out. Suddenly, more than a dozen wolf thieves were killed on the spot.
Zhou Guangding drew out his sword, turned to the people, and the generals listened to the orders.
It will be at the end!
who are we
Daming son soldiers!
What if an enemy invades my territory
Everyone said in unison, fighting to death!
Fight to the death! Fight to the death! I was also infected by the atmosphere of the crowd, and then shouted.
At this moment, a soldier came to report, General Zhou, dozens of barrels of gunpowder were found on the top of the mountain! It was the gunpowder that Yuan Jingang buried in the ground, but for some reason, it did not detonate.
Zhou Guangding was overjoyed, and God helped me too!
Putting the gunpowder in the mountain road, just about to roll down, I made a plan, saying that this is too wasteful, this kind of effort, let us people of the rivers and lakes come!
Having said that, I raised a bucket of gunpowder, attracted Sihu Zhenqi, poured it into my arms, and threw it into the air with all my strength, shouting, Liu Qingfeng!
Seeing this, Liu Qingfeng bent his bow and set an arrow, and a rocket shot out.
boom!
The gunpowder exploded in mid-air, and dozens of people suddenly exploded into pieces. A sea of fire amidst the wolf thieves, the air was filled with the smell of charred meat.
Seeing this, Shen Luoyan couldn't help leaning over and vomiting.
Everyone's spirits refreshed, and Li Xianzhong did the same, throwing out a barrel of gunpowder, and the master shouted, I am coming! He hit a bow and came back with a horse arrow.
Everyone in the Escorts praised, good arrow technique!
Uh... missed!
The gunpowder barrel smashed onto the mountain road, splashing a cloud of dust.
The big master has a black line on his face.
The gunpowder spilled all over the floor, and when it encountered the rocket fired by the master, a ball of flames rose into the sky. Nearly a hundred wolf thieves contaminated with gunpowder burst into flames and wailed.
The great master turns sorrow into joy, clap his hands, that’s how I designed it!
The Escort is humane, the master is mighty!
Even Zhou Guangding laughed blankly at this flattery. However, this method is more useful than exploding in the air. After all, the scope of the explosion is limited, but the explosives are diffused into fog. Although it cannot kill the wolf thief, it is enough to make the wolf thief lose its combat effectiveness.
Seven or eight barrels of explosives were dropped, and the mountain road was full of fire. The wolf thief’s route was blocked, and hundreds of people were killed and injured. Seeing that the silver mask wolf was unable to capture it, he knocked on the gong to retreat.
There was a shout of excitement from the top of the mountain, and the wolf thief retreated!
At the time of Buddha's dawn, after leaving hundreds of corpses, the wolf thief withdrew his soldiers and horses down the mountain, but they did not go far and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
My heart said that this is the rhythm of siege. If the other party besieged us and waited until we run out of ammunition and food, and went down the mountain to fight with us, these hundreds of people would not be enough for the other party to stuff their teeth.
Zhou Guangding organized people to treat the wounded and start a fire to cook. Someone would report to him. There was not much food in the Chi Castle, so he could only support it for three days.
This is not the worst news. Someone has reported that there is not enough water in the mountains.
There is a well in Chi Castle, and the water output is okay for a hundred people to drink, but it is a big problem for seven or eight hundred people to drink. If the wolf thief besieged the Chi Castle, I am afraid that within three days, the people on the mountain will suffer from lack of water.
Although he didn't join the battle, the thrilling one night was enough to make people feel awe of the war.
Liu Qingfeng lay down on a protruding rock in the back mountain, took out a piece of meatloaf, broke the half and threw it to me, while eating, said that people are sinister and unpredictable. Compared with this war, it is a trifling matter. That's it.
I deeply believe that in Xiliang and Shen Luoyan, I was chased by wolf thieves, but they were in the open yellow sand. Even if they were invincible, they could still take advantage of martial arts to escape. Now they are trapped in the mountains and there are court troops. There are also escort brothers. Even if we can use martial arts to make a living, what about the others
Liu Qingfeng looked at the cliffs below the mountain, and suddenly said, I read chivalrous novels, there will be magical secrets under the mountain, do you think we will die if we jump down.
I said I don't know.
Shen Luoyan came over and said, you can give it a try! Maybe there are not only cheats, but also beautiful women.
I said that cheats and bear paws cannot have both, there is a beautiful woman Shen, cheats, don’t worry.
Shen Luoyan said that no matter how poor you are, I will kill you with a single sword.
Liu Qingfeng whispered from the side, I saw Pavilion Master Shen several times, saying that he wanted to kill Sanguan, but he didn't do anything. According to me, do you like Sanguan in your heart, but you refuse to admit it. However, Sanguan already has the beauty of Ji Da, and the Princess Taiping who likes him to die in his heart. Although the pavilion owner is beautiful, but has a big temper, I am afraid it is not the type that Sanguan likes.
I said you won't die if you don't say a few words. You have to look for trouble at this time.
Are you impatient to live, Shen Luo's eyes show fierce light, and force Liu Qingfeng, Liu Qingfeng raised his hand to surrender, Sanguan likes a little pepper like you.
With a sword stabbed, Liu Qingfeng turned over again and again, almost fell off the cliff, three views to save me, your little lover is going to kill me!
I said your mouth is broken, you deserve it.
Liu Qingfeng yelled at you, a guy who has a woman who doesn't care about brotherhood. He said that he would stab his brother. I think one day, you will stab me twice for a woman.
Shen Luoyan's pretty eyes are full of frost, where to escape! With a sword cut, Liu Qingfeng shouted, not stabbing. Shen Luoyan was furious, turned around and stabbed me, I even avoided, I didn't offend you, why are you hitting me.
Shen Luoyan's few tricks didn't work, and angrily threw the Ziwei sword, grabbed my meatloaf, and started gnawing. I said to my heart that I haven't eaten anything for a day, okay, staring at the meatloaf and drooling.
Liu Qingfeng said, Sanguan had bitten this piece of cake just now, and you are kissing indirectly.
Shen Luoyan looked at me and said how to eat your meatloaf. Are you distressed
I said my heart hurts, but my stomach hurts.
Liu Qingfeng sighed, it's a pity that Xue Yu'er is not there, otherwise I will give you a few Star Shudan to treat stomach pain and bloating.
I stepped forward to give Liu Qingfeng a fat beating, stop beating, I took it.
Just take it, I treat all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Shen Luoyan ate the meatloaf, but unfortunately there was no water and hiccups constantly. Liu Qingfeng and I snickered, and Shen Luoyan cursed, what to look at
I said that I have eaten the meal and finished speaking. I'm talking about business. The wolf thief traps us here. Guarding is not a way. I have to think of a way.
Liu Qingfeng said that I can do anything, the big deal is to kill him, just to escape, anyway, the general Zhou who is not wearing clothes is not pleasing to my eyes.
I said to blaze a trail and go to Xuanfu to move soldiers, how about
Shen Luoyan said that it would take at least one day to go back and forth to rescue soldiers from the Xuan Mansion. I'm afraid they won't last until then.
Liu Qingfeng said solemnly, the main problem was the water source.
When I found Zhou Guangding, I talked about my thoughts. Zhou Guangding shook his head. There were thousands of wolf thieves under the mountain.
I asked Liu Qingfeng, how high is this mountain
Liu Qingfeng said five or six hundred meters, three views, you don't really want to jump down, do you
I laughed angrily, I am not the old monster of Sansu, I will not fall into a meatloaf if I jump down! Liu Qingfeng said, it's good to dare, and the little pavilion owner has another lunch.
Shen Luoyan felt like vomiting after hearing this.
I asked if there are ropes in the army
Zhou Guang said that when he attacked the mountain, he didn't think so much.
I think about Liu Qingfeng. Liu Qingfeng said to see what I am doing. Even if I do well, I can't make a meatloaf if I jump down 400 meters. Shen Luoyan said, can you tell me something with the meatloaf.
I said cutting the 200-meter rope and attaching a 200-meter spear, it should be possible.
Zhou Guangding hesitated, what should the wolf thief attack without weapons
Liu Qingfeng said suddenly, didn't he still have a belt? With so many people, if you take off your pants, isn't it enough? What do you guys think of me? What is a bare butt compared to no weapons
