9. Feng's village
Thirty miles outside the city of Dingyuan, Fengjiazhai on Dingmiao Mountain.
This is a troubled time, the bandits robbed the righteous army, and the righteous army robbed the official army. The helpless people can only unite from village to village and form villages to protect themselves.
Fengjiazhai developed and grew under such circumstances, and the village was built on the mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are more than 20,000 people in the village, and more than 4,000 young and strong men.
The government can't control it, and the small forces can't afford to provoke it. Besides, the Feng family is not a good person, and they have no money to rob passing merchants and kidnap tickets for extortion.
Zhu Wu had long known that there was such a Feng family village, but he didn't free his hand for the time being. There is also a green forest robber Liu Ju around, who is the target of the clean-up and crackdown.
Unexpectedly, he didn't go to Fengjiazhai for trouble, and Fengjiazhai broke ground on Tai Sui's head.
Zhu Wu returned to Dingyuan overnight, leaving a group of soldiers to guard the city, and the remaining more than 3,000 people went out of the city and lined up under Dingmiao Mountain.
After more than a month of training, the new recruits and soldiers formed a neat and majestic formation, with spears like forests and iron shields like walls.
Guo Xing led Zhu Wu's personal guard horse team to wander in front of the formation, and Li Sai and Lan Yu led the other personal guards to set up two bronze cannons under the guidance of several craftsmen.
The muzzle of the cannon was facing the gatehouse of the Feng family's stockade on the mountainside. It may be that the angle is not high enough, and the craftsmen shove wood under the muzzle of the gun while aiming with their eyes.
"Fifth brother, I'll take the lead!"
Erhu is now the captain of Zhu Wudingyuan's army, the captain of the real thousand-man team. He wears newly created iron armor and an iron helmet on his head, which is assembled to his teeth.
Now the craftsman workshop in Dingyuan is still too small, and it can only give priority to making armor for officers.
But Zhu Wu has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, even if the soldiers have no armor, they are all equipped with red battle jackets. For this, I also wasted several days of foaming with Li Shanchang.
However, when the whole army was assembled and ready to go, Li Shanchang couldn't speak. Most of the rebels in this world are no different from those called Hanako, only the core army of the leader is like a little human.
Zhu Wu's subordinates were a hundred times stronger than them just by looking at the formation at the head of this battalion, and they were not inferior even to the elite officers and soldiers.
Only soldiers with honor and appearance have combat effectiveness, so now the brothers under Zhu Wu have long been holding back their strength.
Zhu Wu couldn't help but smile when he saw the second tiger sharpening his knife, "What's the hurry, let's shoot a few shots before we go!" ”
The so-called strategic contempt for the enemy, tactically we attach importance to the enemy. Fengjiazhai is entrenched in the mountains, and can only be attacked through the crooked mountain road, and it seems that the other party also has talents who are proficient in military affairs.
Then, he taught Erhu to smile and said, "Fifth brother, I heard that you beat up Tang and that guy?" If you bring me next time, you will already see that he is not pleasing to the eye! ”
"Who said that?" Zhu Wu immediately lowered his face, and on the way back to Dingyuan, he told his brothers, this is not a glorious thing, don't show off everywhere, I didn't expect that there would still be a fast mouth in the end.
Seeing Zhu Wu's black face, Erhu wanted to hide back. The higher Zhu's facial position, the more people under his hands, and the more awe the brothers were.
"Speak, who said that? Don't say yes, don't say I'll let you go to the room to cook a month's meal! Zhu Wu said angrily.
"Lan Yu said it, I don't blame him, I used his words to set it up!" Erhu scratched his head and said.
"Call him over!"
Erhu hurriedly called Lan Yu, in fact, he was only two or three years older than Lan Yu, and both of them were strong and stunned, and they were quite temperamental.
"Fifth brother, are you looking for me?"
Lan Yu trotted over, sweating all over his head.
"How can I explain on the way back, don't say anything about Dingyuan, when you come back, you will spread it everywhere, and there is a fight in front of the handsome door, do you think it is majestic?" Zhu Wu's nose is not a nose, his eyes are not eyes, and he scolded him with his head and face.
Lan Yu turned around to find Erhu, they had already run away, and when they saw Zhu Wu angry, he could only lower his eyebrows and say, "Fifth brother, I was wrong!" ”
With his appearance, Zhu Wu really can't get out of the fire. Lan Yu is only fifteen years old this year, but he has never retreated.
"One time and two tigers will lead people to attack the stockade, and you will take the archers to help on the side!"
"Hey!" Lan Yuzheng was up and down in his heart, and suddenly heard that Zhu Wu had given him an errand, so he hurriedly agreed with a smile.
Then, he turned around to find Erhu, but he heard Zhu Wu shouting, "Come back!" ”
Lan Yu turned around, puzzled.
Zhu Wu grimaced and said, "Put on the helmet, life-saving thing!" ”
Lan Yu smiled, "Eh! ”
Then, he trotted all the way to the phalanx of the two tigers, and when he saw the two tigers, he began to complain, "Brother Tiger, you sell me!" ”
"Ouch, Brother Lanyu, it's not me who sells you, the fifth brother asks who dares not to say it." Erhu smiled, "Go back and find a good knife for you, it will be considered as reparation!" ”
Lan Yu turned her anger into joy, "Really? Don't you bluff me? ”
"How can it!" Erhu patted his chest, "That's right, brother." Why did you beat Tang He, you haven't said it yet? ”
Lan Yu looked around and lowered his voice, "Tang and the toad want to eat swan meat, and they want to be brothers-in-law for the Guo brothers!" ”
"What?" The second tiger's eyes turned around a few times before he understood, and he pulled his neck and scolded, "Dog day, I am eight generations of his ......"
………
"You got the donkey kicking in your brain?"
In Feng's village, the big leader Feng Guoyong was scolding his younger brother, the second leader Feng Sheng.
The two brothers were born to a mother, both of whom were stout men with wide foreheads and round faces, with thick beards.
Feng Guo was angry, "If you rob it, why are you detaining people's families?" ”
Feng Sheng whispered, "Brother, didn't you see them like that at that time, sideways!" said that they have the ability to kill them, otherwise the army will push our stockade, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”
"Then you say that people are killing them now? What to do! Feng Guoyong continued to scold, "After the red scarf occupied Dingyuan, I sent someone to inquire, and the leader of the red scarf in Dingyuan was Zhu Wu, the son of Guo Dashuai."
People occupy Dingyuan, they don't kill or rob, and even buying vegetables is a fair deal, and they are benevolent and righteous. I just want to make friends, and you are directly offended to death! ”
"Since you're here, let's fight! It's not like no one has no knife in our hands! Feng Sheng was not convinced.
"Fart!" Feng Guoyong scolded, "After beating the Dingyuan soldiers and the Haozhou soldiers, tens of thousands of people and horses were killed, what can you do?" Our brothers and villagers set up a village for self-preservation, not for war! ”
"Boom!"
Just as he was scolding, there was a sudden loud noise outside, the sky collapsed, and the Feng brothers shrank their necks.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling at the mouth of the village.
"Come again!"
Zhu Wu was behind the artillery and shouted excitedly.
As soon as the cannon went down, half of the wooden gatehouse of the Feng family's stockade collapsed, and several men threw their weapons and ran into the stockade screaming.
The power is there, mainly because people of this era have not seen this. People will always be afraid of the unknown and the unexplainable.
Just this kung fu, the second tiger and the people have already rushed to the foot of the mountain, just waiting for another shot, rushing up.
The Feng brothers took the henchmen in the stockade and ran to the gatehouse of the stockade, and two screaming men ran in front of them.
"What are you running? What's going on? Feng Sheng grabbed one and asked.
"I, I don't know!" That man is incomparable, "I saw a burst of smoke in the red scarf array on the opposite side, and then the gatehouse was blown down by lightning, and Wang Laoqi let an iron ball smash to death on the spot." I'm a mother, I was smashed into slag, like a melon, everywhere! ”
The Feng brothers glanced at each other, they didn't believe in any thunderbolt nonsense, it must be some sharp weapon in the red scarf.
Outside the stockade, Zhu Wu's personal soldiers were busy loading, this kind of secret weapon, he had to grasp it in his hand and operate it with the most trusted person.
"In the future, make more small cannons, a few people can run with them, which is the most suitable for this kind of battle!"
Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Xing shouted, "Fifth brother, it's okay!" ”
"Put!"
When the Feng brothers came to the mouth of the village, they didn't stand firmly, and there was a bang, half of the gatehouse did not fall, but the mountain stones next to them flew around with smoke and fire, and after the smoke passed, there was a deep pit on the stone.
Then, I heard the shouting and scolding at the foot of the mountain, "What's the meow, it's crooked to grandma's house, come again!" ”
"Shout!" Feng Guoyong immediately decided, "I heard that Zhu Wu is not a person who kills indiscriminately, I will go and meet for a while!" ”
"Fifth brother, someone has come out of the village!"
Just as he was about to come again, Lan Yu ran back to report. Seven or eight people came out of the stockade, and the leader was a man in cloth, who was cautiously leaning over.
"Surrender?" Zhu Wu pondered for a while, but it was not surprising that the local armed forces in these years were all grass on the wall, and it was common for them to surrender if they couldn't be defeated, or simply join the rebels to rebel.
The horses passed, and the two tigers at the foot of the mountain were staring at those people, and those people also had the courage, and their eyes did not flinch at all.
Feng Guoyong stood in front of him, and when he saw an ironclad knight coming over, he thought it was the personal guard of the red scarf general, and said, "Feng Guoyong is the master of the village here, and I want to meet the red scarf general, please be accommodating!" ”
Zhu Wu smiled, "I am Zhu Wu, and the governor of Haozhou has ordered the Yuan Army to pacify me!" ”
Feng Guoyong was stunned, listening to Zhu Wu's old age, but he didn't expect to be so young.
Quickly cheered up and said, "Today's incident is a misunderstanding!" My younger brother was young and vigorous, and he detained the general's soldiers. But those brothers are in my village, but they are delicious and entertained, and they don't suffer at all! Our cottage is also oppressed by the government, and we are all poor, not deliberately making enemies of the red scarf! ”
Zhu Wu jumped off the horse and said with a smile, "Oh? Are you going to surrender? ”
Who said surrendered? Feng Guo said with his heart, I just don't want to have a mortal enmity with you, where did I say surrender.
Just listen to Zhu Wu continue, "Surrender is too ugly, just call in!" Everyone is from a poor man's background, and they want to find a way to survive in this ghost world. What kind of climate can you achieve by fighting alone, I won't beat you today, and I can't say that one day the official army will also kill you.
The officers and soldiers are not as good at talking as me, and once the stockade is broken, it will definitely kill and rob it all. Why don't we work together, maybe we can have a rich future! ”
In fact, Feng Guoyong has long had the heart to defect to the red scarf, he is also a person who is familiar with military books and can see the general trend of the world, but he is still waiting.
Zhu Wu's words said that his heart was difficult, the poor have no way to live in troubled times, but the troubled times are also the time when the poor are at their best.
The Red Turban Army in front of him was in a strict formation, and at first glance, it was a soldier who had seen blood.
Zhu Wu, he had already heard you say that more than 2,000 officers and soldiers couldn't surround him, and he chased the butts of the officers and soldiers to Dingyuan City, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the city. Although he is young, he is like a character.
Thinking of this, Feng Guoyong was a little shaken and asked, "General, seriously?" ”
"Is this still fake?" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "If you join the gang, you are your own people, and the brother land in your village is my brother, and you are the soldier of my Dingyuan Army!" ”
Feng Guoyong continued, "But Dingyuan City is small, how can it afford to support these people? ”
"What is Dingyuan!" Zhu Wu laughed and pointed ahead with a horsewhip, "There are Hezhou and Chuzhou in front, Dingyuan can't afford to raise them, plus these two cities, you can always afford it!" ”
"So, I'm going to join in!" Feng Guoyong said with a smile, "I have long seen that the dog official mansion is not pleasing to the eye, and I have also rebelled with my brothers!" ”
