Zhou Yanbo put down the teacup and walked out directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Young Master, where are you going?" Su Yu'er followed closely behind Zhou Yanbo.

"Go to the Yecheng City Lord's Mansion, since they are here, you can't ignore them. ”

Shi Mingzhe, who was in the office, was startled by Zhou Yanbo's intrusion, and hurriedly asked what happened, Zhou Yanbo informed Shi Mingzhe of the actions of the Huyang Wang clan, and asked Yecheng's patrol army to fight.

"How many standing troops are there in Yecheng now?" Zhou Yanbo asked.

"Barely 10,000 ......"

"So how much can the militia recruit?"

"It's hard to say, Ye Cheng is very old and hasn't recruited militiamen......" Shi Mingzhe shook his head.

"If the recruitment starts now, how many can there be? Can't you even say an approximate number?" Zhou Yanbo then asked.

"This ......," Shi Mingzhe said a conservative number.

Zhou Yanbo nodded: "That's enough, now Qiu Yu, you go to Ying Ning to find Zhou Tang, you can't fight in Ye City, it's too close to Ying Ning, put the place of battle in Shangshan Temple in the south of Ye City."

"Is this really not good?" Zhou Qiunian said, "Young lord, you and the presiding officer of Shangshan Temple are friends, and it is really ...... to fight in front of his temple And it may spread to Shangzenji Temple and destroy this temple. ”

"'Surrender without a fight. "I'm going to use the best strategy, Yu'er said that the other party has about 50,000 troops, so I won't rush forward stupidly." Zhou Yanbo shook his finger.

"I see. ”

"Let Zhou Fengxue and them continue the construction work of Jiazhou, don't be distracted by this incident, and after informing them, go and find out the movements of the rest of the forces around them. ”

"Hear me clearly. Zhou Qiunian nodded and walked outside.

"Yu'er, you go and prepare, and come with me in a while to see the 'small moves' of the Huyang Wang clan. ”

After Su Yu'er left, Zhou Yanbo was about to prepare, but ran into Yun Yun.

"It looks like something big is happening. Yun Yun said.

"The lord of the Wang clan in the south wanted to come as a guest, and brought an unbearable gift. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Ye Cheng can't be harmed, so I decided to meet him at Shangzenji Temple. ”

"And then, I don't have any other ideas?" Yun Yun asked.

Zhou Yanbo scratched his head: "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

Yun Yun shook her head and said, "I heard that Ye Cheng can use 10,000 standing soldiers, right?"

Zhou Yanbo nodded.

"Then you start recruiting the militia now, since you are scaring them, as long as you suppress them from above, I can use this 10,000 troops. Yun Yun said directly, "Then follow Zhou Zhou and Baiyang with me." ”

In the seven horses of the Zhou family, Zhou Fengxue needs to focus on Jiazhou and cannot be distracted; Zhou Qiunian's brothers need to monitor the movements of the surrounding area; Zhou Tang needs to resist the opponent's attack with Zhou Yanbo; Zhou Qiandai and Zhou Ke are not good at martial arts; so now only Zhou Zhou is familiar with martial arts and can assist Yun Yun to lead the army.

Zhou Yanbo was silent for a while and said, "Yes, but you have to be careful." ”

……

On the official road leading from Yecheng to Beihu, an army of 50,000 people was rushing towards Yecheng non-stop, and they didn't notice that there were two people hidden in the trees next to the official road, watching them pass.

These two people are Zhou Yanbo and Su Yu'er, the two of them set off early and waited for each other's arrival here.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Zhou Yanbo looked at the army and whispered, "The lord of the Wang family will really personally bring the troops over, and he still has resentment for those words." ”

"But those are advice, young master, you are not wrong. Su Yuer said.

"Advice is not necessarily good words, and good words are not necessarily good words. Everyone likes to hear good things and doesn't like to hear bad things, and you think it's good for him, but he doesn't necessarily think so. Zhou Yanbo said.

"Just go back, these people don't have to worry. ”

"But young lord, this is fifty thousand people, five times our size. ”

"50,000 people?" Zhou Yanbo smiled, "Yu'er, take a closer look, the army is not right, the march is procrastinating, and the ranks are loose, this is simply an army composed of a group of rabble." If you want to talk about the 50,000 Yun Tie Army, or the Mengsun Forbidden Army and the Han Family's Army, I still have a headache, these people are too different. ”

"Even if it's a rabble, it's still 50,000, and it's still dangerous. Su Yuer said.

Zhou Yanbo thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, let's do it, get a tree next to the road at intervals on the official road behind it, and make an obstacle to delay their speed, we should be more fully prepared here."

The two of them are masters of techniques, and this thing can't help the two of them, and after a while, some trees on the official road will fall to the ground, which can indeed cause trouble to the Huyang Army.

After delaying for nearly a day, the two sides finally met in the south of Shangshan Temple, where Zhou Yanbo's army had already set up camp and waited for the tired Huyang army.

"Yo, long time no see, Huyang is in charge. Zhou Yanbo smiled, "There are many new antiques recently?"

Zhou Yanbo's words were obviously laughing at him, at that time, Zhou Yanbo used three worthless things to defraud the Huyang Wang family's 400,000 yuan, and he was already able to become the object of ridicule in the world.

"Zhou Yanbo, you don't have to be there with a hippie smile, I will make today next year your death day believe it or not?" Huyang scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, "I have 50,000 horses here, which is enough to level your Ye City." ”

Zhou Yanbo shook his head: "I don't believe it, Qingming has already passed, if you want to pay tribute, you should come earlier, after all, it is convenient to remember in the Qingming Festival." ”

"You!" The lord of Huyang knew that he couldn't fight with Zhou Yanbo, so he didn't bother to say anything and waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army is ready, whoever kills Zhou Yanbo, I will reward ten thousand taels." Suddenly there was a shout behind him, and 10,000 taels of gold was still very tempting.

But Zhou Yanbo was unhappy and muttered, "Am I so worthless!"

"Everyone, you are ready to ......" Before the lord of Huyang could continue, he saw Zhou Yanbo holding a strange object aimed at him, a black hole.

"What is this?" Huyang, who has been indulging in antiques all day long, has never even seen a fire gun, let alone this one in Zhou Yanbo's hand.

Zhou Yanbo tilted his head and aimed the musket at Huyang as the master, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a cunning expression, which directly made Huyang's scalp numb, and he felt that something bad was happening.

Immediately followed by a shocking sound, Zhou Yanbo withdrew the musket, but he could see that the musket in his hand was emitting green smoke, and the Huyang lord on the other side still knew what was happening, he only saw a burst of sparks coming out of the hole, and then there was a burst of green smoke, but the army formation behind him was all chaotic, especially the cavalry, the sound just now made the military horses frightened and manic, and the cavalry riding on it had no way to calm them down, some had fallen off their horses, and even the infantry were in chaos.

The lord of Huyang was even more frightened, just a matter of an instant, the helmet he was wearing fell off, more like he was knocked down, there was a hole in the top of the helmet, if Zhou Yanbo was facing his head just now, he would have died in vain.

Zhou Yanbo was holding an improved arquebus, but it was not the arquebus that ignited, but the flint. At first, Chunin didn't have a good idea to transform this arquebus, and there was no way to shorten the attack interval, one evening, Chunin found that the lamp should be lit, but he didn't find the fire fold, so he used flint to light the wind lamp, and suddenly he came to inspiration, he thought of replacing the ignition of the fire rope with high-quality flint, as long as two flints collide to produce sparks, and then the sparks ignite the gunpowder to complete an attack, so that you can save the time for the arquebus to burn, greatly shorten the time interval.

Chunin told Adams about the idea, and the two immediately teamed up to modify the arquebus, and Chunin designed a device that could hold the flint according to the compass, so that the flint could be replaced, and Adams designed a turning device that could make the flint slam slam into the flint fixed to the gun, and the sparks that were drawn from it successfully ignited the gunpowder next to it. Not only does this new flint gun have a short time interval, but it is also not easy to spot at night, let alone worry about bad weather.

The flint gun in Zhou Yanbo's hand is the modified musket, just two days ago Zhou Yanbo learned how to use the flint gun from Adams, but the accuracy is not good, just now Zhou Yanbo did not aim at his helmet, but a little above his helmet, originally wanted to scare it, but now it seems that the effect is better.

"Who said he wanted my Zhou Yanbo's head?" Zhou Yanbo leaned the flint gun on his shoulder and looked at Huyang with a smile and said, Zhou Yanbo had done all the preparations before, and then just press the trigger that Adams said.

This time, the lord of Huyang has lost the arrogant momentum at the beginning, and now all of them are full of fear, and the weapon in the other party's hand has not yet seen clearly, the helmet has fallen to the ground, and there is a hole that crosses, and the lord of Huyang realizes that this thing is more terrifying than a bow and arrow.

"Huyang is in charge, aren't you coming up?" Zhou Yanbo asked lightly, I don't know why, Huyang felt that this sentence had other meanings.

"If you don't come up, I'll go on. After speaking, Zhou Yanbo picked up the flint gun and dredged it, loaded the iron pill and aimed it at Huyang as the master, "This time I won't be biased." ”

This sentence means that he shot off the rails just now, otherwise you would be a corpse by now.

"Retreat, retreat!" said the lord of Huyang as he flung his whip backwards, and suddenly 50,000 horses ran backwards, more like a rout.

"It's really fast!" In fact, Zhou Yanbo loaded iron pills, but did not load gunpowder, Hubei Province does not produce gunpowder, Zhou Yanbo's forces have not yet built a trade system, the only one with gunpowder was brought by Adams, and there is saltpeter found in Yizhou, Zhou Yansu and Su Yuer. So there is no way for Zhou Yanbo to use the next shot, he is doing this to scare the other party, and the owner of Huyang, who has never led soldiers, is naturally afraid of death.

I thought that such a thing had been solved, but when Huyang returned to Beihu, he found something even more annoying: the flag of the Wang clan of Huyang was floating on the Beihu City Tower, it was a strange flag, although I didn't know what was going on, but I knew that it was the flag of Zhou Yanbo's Yihu Zhou.
