CHAPTER XVIII
No one will cherish something that is easy to get your hands on, and it's not the same when someone is fighting for it. At first, Chen Xiaodao was not very uncommon for these two leaders, but after the emergence of the two competitors of the Zhou brothers, he also became vigilant.
If he is really stepped on by the Zhou brothers, what kind of face will he have to stay in Funiu Village. What's more, the development of Funiu Village has been getting better and better recently, and when the government exterminates Heifeng Village, and then receives the manpower of Heifeng Village, it may really be possible for Funiu Village to develop, so he only thought about getting the cheats and left at the beginning.
In the end, what you want is the attribution of the secret book of the internal strength, there are more people and more competitors, Xu Daniu is practicing the winner's external skills, and people are a little stupid. As soon as the two of them came, they were given the breathing method by the leader, and at this time, Ke Ding was also thinking about the cheats! There were two more competitors, especially if he was really compared by the two, would the cheats promised by the leader still say that they would give it to him first?
……
"Big Boss!"
"Big Boss!"
Two young men who looked six or seven points similar walked in from outside, came to Li Mingyu and bowed down.
Both of them are in their twenties, with beautiful faces, but they don't smile, and their brows are furrowed, giving people a very sad feeling.
Zhou Xiaodao stared at the two, his eyes narrowed, these two were the Zhou brothers who made him very scrupulous, Zhou Wen was darker, and Zhou Wu was fairer.
"Okay, between you and my brothers, what are you doing with these ordinary courtesies!" Li Mingyu, it shouldn't be Li Guangyuan, waved his hand and looked unconventional.
The two brothers stood up, and after glancing at each other, the elder brother Zhou Wen spoke: "Big boss, the government has announced the text of the suppression of thieves, on the sixth day of October, the main battle, it is advisable to conquer and rebel, and it has been decided to enter the Black Wind Village on the sixth day of the first month." The army of the attack is composed of four parts, the main force is the county guard, which mobilized half a battalion of county soldiers, three teams, three hundred people, followed by the inspection department, sent two inspection teams, one hundred people, and the county government yamen, there are also two teams of officials and officials, there are almost 100 people, and finally there are about 20 people in the six gates of the county. The four yamen of the government sent 527 people to attack the general attack, plus more than 1,000 people who provided logistics, so they were called 3,000 to exterminate Heifeng Village in one fell swoop. “
"Who are the officers and soldiers leading the team?"
"As we expected before, the chief officer of the encirclement and suppression team is the county guard army is the five-grade battalion officer, called Zhang Zhaoxiao, and the left and right deputies are Cao He, the commander of the county's sixth-grade silver, and Li Shufan, the chief catcher of the seventh-grade silver medal of the county's six doors. ”
"In this way, the composition of this encirclement and suppression team, several forces in the county participated, and Taishou simply neutralized the mud from it, and divided the cake according to the size of the power, and no aspect was offended. Look at this Zuo Taishou, he is still deep in the golden mean for officials!" Li Mingyu said lightly.
"Big Boss Mingjian!"
"In the county, several officials with real power related to the suppression of bandits have participated, and the inspection of the county inspection department, Chen Caowu of Zhengbapin, why is there no him?"
Chen Caowu excused his mother's illness and resigned, and only sent his two squad leaders. However, in the eyes of his subordinates, even if Chen Caowu squeezed in, with his identity as only a positive eighth grade, he would not be able to compete with Zhang Zhaoxiao and Li Shufan, and it is estimated that he himself knew that he would not have much credit for sharing profits, so he simply pushed it away. Zhou Wen didn't understand why the big boss cared so much about the inspection of a positive eighth grade, and only explained after showing a look of surprise.
"Hehe, this Chen Caowu is not simple!" Li Mingyu just smiled lightly.
As for why it was not simple, he refused to say it, which made the two Zhou brothers confused.
"The leader means that Chen Caowu has already expected a great defeat for the officers and soldiers!" Chen Xiaodao, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
Li Mingyu shook his head and said: "That's not true, he doesn't have that vision, but the vigilance of the bureaucracy makes him choose Mingzhe to protect himself!" Not to mention ......."
He paused and continued, "The army of the government will not necessarily be defeated!"
"Why, didn't you say before, Chief, that the Black Wind Village has three victories and the government has three defeats?" Zhou Wu of the Acute Zi was puzzled.
Zhou Wu's theory, three wins and three defeats, is an excuse for Li Mingyu to break blindly and use it to gag his subordinates. He could not directly say that the information obtained by the government was fake, and it was absolutely impossible to succeed in suppressing the bandits. How did he know about it, and what was his relationship with Li Mingyu, who had previously spied on intelligence for the government? So he made up an excuse for three wins and three defeats.
Black Wind Village three wins, the first in the terrain is dangerous, the terrain of Black Cliff Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the narrowest place on the mountain road only allows one person to pass, it is really a husband and a man. What's more, the Black Wind Valley below the Cliff Mountain, especially the mouth of the Black Wind Valley, is also a dangerous place. When the officers and troops came to attack on a large scale, the bandits of Heifengzhai did not need to confront the officers and troops head-on, as long as they occupied the dangerous points and resisted step by step, and did not wait for the officers and soldiers to attack the top of the mountain, they would have already lost their morale and morale, and at that time, regardless of whether the generals were willing or not, they could not fight anymore, and they could only retreat.
In fact, the army of the Qinghe County Government has mostly ended up encircling and suppressing Heifeng Village several times.
Second, the bandits of the Black Wind Village are well-trained and have many masters. After inquiring about the news, the minions of Heifeng Village are proficient in simple battle formations, and they are only worse than the private soldiers under the generals in terms of training, which far surpass the official government. And how many families are under the official army, and Zhang Zhaoxiao, the battalion officer of the county guard army who is the fifth grade, has only about 30 families, and even if the family members in the official army are concentrated, there are only fifty or sixty people. And what about Heifeng Village, there are seven or eight hundred bandits in Heifeng Village, excluding the old and weak women and children, and three or four hundred well-trained young and strong bandits, Li Mingyu has fought with the minions of Heifeng Village, most of them dare to fight, and there are many backbones and elites in the forging realm, and they have all undergone simple battle formation training, and they cannot be regarded as ordinary bandits who only know how to fight fiercely with their own blood, and the bandits who come to Heifeng Village are not much worse than the elite of the official army, but they are far inferior to the official army.
What's more, there are a lot of masters in Heifeng Village, in addition to the three leaders and the second leader, plus four or five big leaders, there are five or six warriors in the inner breath, which is no less than the masters of the official army, and more importantly, the big boss Blood Axe Hu Tianba is a master of the true qi realm, and some people even say that he is the realm of the peak of the day after tomorrow of the true qi realm. And the peak of the day after tomorrow, in a remote county like Qinghe County, it can already be powerful.
In Qinghe County, only Gu Shanhe, the elder of the big Qinghe Gang, is the peak of the realm of the day after tomorrow, but Gu Shanhe has already passed the age of the sixtieth armor and his blood has begun to decline, and he is the pillar of the Qinghe Gang, so it is impossible to risk losing both sides to help the head of the government and Hu Tianba face off. It is that Gu Shanhe is living in seclusion in the forbidden place of the Qinghe Gang at this time, and strives to break through to the innate realm.
Although the chance of breaking through the innate realm is very slim, but the other party is obviously unwilling to fight, as long as the breakthrough reaches the innate realm, not only can the longevity be extended to more than two hundred years old, but the strength will also undergo earth-shaking changes, and the secular army is already difficult to pose a threat to the innate martial artists, and every innate master is the existence of a state.
For example, there are only two or three innate masters on the bright side of Youzhou, even if there are no hidden factions in the various families and rivers and lakes, all of them will not add up to more than ten people. In fact, after reaching the innate realm, martial artists rarely make moves for secular interests anymore, and most of them are in seclusion and retreat. Now that the aura of this world is thin, it is very difficult for innate martial artists to break through the heavens and men before the longevity is exhausted, and if they save some more time, they may have a little more hope of breaking through to the heavens. If you don't have to, you won't fight with the masters of the same realm, wasting the true yuan and delaying your breakthrough.
Third, a large amount of food has been accumulated in Heifeng Village, which is enough for seven or eight hundred people in Heifeng Village to eat for a year or two, and there is no fear that the government will besiege and close the mountain to cut off the source of supply, and now that it is winter, as long as Heifeng Village delays time, and when the snow closes the mountain, as long as the officials and soldiers do not want to be trapped in the mountain, they can only retreat.
Three wins
The government was defeated three times, and one defeat was due to unclear information, so it rashly mobilized troops. It is obviously irrational to decide to move troops just because of the information provided by a small warrior in Heifeng Village, and without verifying the truth or falsehood. The second defeat is in the corruption of the officers, negligent training, the Great Chu Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and it has reached the end of the dynasty, the officials, the family is greedy and corrupt, wantonly annexing the land, the people are not living, the officers, deducting military salaries, and the soldiers under them are crushed, and the soldiers have no heart to fight. In Dachu County, the county guard is a county soldier system that integrates agriculture and agriculture, the imperial court allocates land to the county soldiers, and the county soldiers serve and fight for the imperial court, and the county soldiers naturally fight bravely in order to protect their land, so in the first few decades of the founding of the country, the county soldiers are still very combative. But now, hehe! Officers, soldiers, wantonly annexed the land of their soldiers, and the county soldiers have become serfs under the officers, and have been bullied by wanton slaves, and many county soldiers have fled without being able to stand the oppression.
For example, the county soldiers of Qinghe County, according to the establishment, should actually have a battalion of six teams and 600 men. However, this time, Zhang Zhaoxiao, the county camp official, only sent 300 people, so why didn't he send more? Because he only had 300 people in his hands, and the rest of the people had already fled and run away. And just these 300 people, including more than 200 people, are all eaten for Zhang Zhaoxiao and his military leaders, exploited and labored serfs, all of them are yellow and thin, they can't train once a year, they can't even eat, they are hungry and cold, how can such soldiers fight.
As for those who can fight, only the more than 30 family members under the battalion officer Zhang Zhaoxiao are all private soldiers under him, not to mention the good food and drink, not to mention the frequent drills, and the weapons, food and grass are also very sufficient, and at least they are all martial artists above the level of forging the body, every time he sends troops to suppress bandits to fight, he also relies on his subordinates, as for the other county soldiers, they are just filling up under their hands, waving their flags and shouting.
Such an army, in terms of average quality, is far inferior to the minions of Heifeng Village, so it is no wonder that the government has launched a large army to encircle and suppress Heifeng Village several times, but several times it has been in vain.
Third, the love enemy is careless and greedy. From the reaction of the government, it can be seen that this encirclement and suppression of Heifeng Village was obviously regarded as a good opportunity to earn credit by the real power forces of the government in Qinghe County. They really believed that Li Mingyu revealed in the intelligence that there was a hidden trail that could be climbed in the back mountain of the so-called Black Cliff Mountain. thought that as long as he took advantage of the darkness to send his elite to sneak into Black Cliff Mountain, then Black Wind Village would be able to go down from one stop. Therefore, one by one, they will rush to stand up and fight for the opportunity to lead the troops. In fact, there is a hidden trail in the so-called back mountain of Black Cliff Mountain, which is purely made up to deceive people.
Li Mingyu smiled faintly, "I said that Black Wind Village will definitely win, but the government will not necessarily lose." ”
"Boss, don't go around in circles, I'm dizzy when I hear the bull." Xu Daniu opened his mouth and shouted.
Brother Zhou, Chen Xiaodao also looked at him puzzled.
Seeing this, Li Mingyu stopped selling Guanzi, and explained directly: "The official army has no shortcomings, first of all, there is insufficient intelligence, only a piece of information that does not know the true or false origin, and the details of Heifeng Village are not clear at all. Second, the soldiers are negligent in training, there are not many elites, and most of the soldiers do not know the morale except for the family members, they have no fighting spirit, they can't fight tough battles, and they can only be used as auxiliaries. Third, the eagerness to win, and many other shortcomings, etc. But ......"
He changed his words and said: "It's just that the official army has only one advantage, as long as the general named Zhang Zhaoxiao can grasp it, it can be advantageous to be invincible." As for what advantages ......"
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the number of officers and soldiers is enough. ”
"What kind of advantage is the number of people, I have been in the army, and those county soldiers can fight dozens of them at a time." Xu Daniu shouted disdainfully.
"Of course, a large number of people is an advantage, you can chase and fight dozens of big bulls alone, but how many warriors like you are there in the minions of the Black Wind Village? I'm afraid there are not more than one, right? The young and strong minions in the Black Wind Village are only three or four hundred, and the number of the official and military teams, five hundred regular troops, plus more than a thousand young and strong auxiliaries, is more than three times that of the black village minions.
As long as Zhang Zhaoxiao, the battalion officer who leads the troops, is not too stupid, as long as he fights steadily and steadily, and does not overly underestimate the enemy, even if he can't capture the Black Wind Village, he can maintain the formation and slowly retreat back to the city.
