After speaking, he came to the courtyard, looked at the more than 100 people gathered together, and said in a loud voice: "To be a soldier is to fight, and to fight is to win a war, what is a victory?" If you kill the enemy and are not killed by the enemy, you win. And if you want to kill people but not be killed, you can only practice your skills. When I was under King Qin Zhaoxiang, I became a general from a small soldier, relying on the ability to kill. But then again, fighting a war is not a group fight, it is about the rules and regulations, specifically the art of war. Sun Wu's art of war is famous all over the world, and I only know a little about it, we Qin people fight, on the one hand, pay attention to bravery, on the other hand, pay attention to military formation, only to form an invincible military formation, can withstand the enemy's attack, can defeat more enemies than themselves. ”

He glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all listening, so he continued: "You are ordinary people, you have never fought a war, so you are far inferior to a soldier in martial arts, this is not a day to practice, I will teach little by little in the future, for now I will teach you to form a military formation, with a military formation, you are not afraid of others to snatch this fort." ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Qi instructed Lei Sheng to find some bamboo, the longer the better. There are a lot of bamboos in the fort, which were originally used to build tents, build houses, and repair roofs. Bai Qi ordered the tip of the bamboo to be sharpened and used as a spear, and to be given to some of the strongest. Then equip others with spears, short knives, wooden shields, etc.

He arranged everything according to the military formation of the Qin army, which was very effective, and in a short time, a military formation of more than 100 people was formed. In front were spearmen, behind were pikemen, and finally short knife men, shield bearers, and little by little they taught them how to attack and how to defend.

The military formation of the Qin army is actually not cumbersome, it does not need smart people, but brave people, the people in the military formation only need to perform their duties, and the military formation that is too cumbersome is not easy for the soldiers to understand. Especially the Qin people, compared to the six countries of Shandong, the Qin people are relatively stupid, they are not smart, but they are very brave, they are dead-eyed, but they know the current affairs very well, so they can unify the world.

These more than 100 hungry people are not smart, but they are suitable for this kind of military formation. After practicing for half a day, it began to take shape, and although it was not yet able to go into battle, it also reached the realm of scaring people.

The women in the fort also had the courage to come and see, which made this group of hungry people extremely excited, and they were all in high spirits, shouting to kill the heavens, it was really like that.

Lei Sheng and the second master glanced at each other and nodded, it seemed that they believed Bai Qi's words.

In this way, after a few days, more than 100 hungry people have basically mastered the essentials of the military formation, and at the same time, in the past few days, everyone has eaten and drunk well, and there is a lot of oil and water, and everyone's face is flushed.

In the past few days, Bai Qi checked the property in the fort, and found that this squire still has some family background, there are more than 500 taels of gold in the fort, more than 6,000 taels of silver, as well as two boxes of treasures, more than 10 good horses, and grain, 2,000 taels of rice, 3,000 pieces of wheat, more than 1,000 pieces of beef and mutton, more than 200 jars of good wine, and hundreds of catties of various vegetables and vegetables. All are placed in a cold cellar underground.

If you do a rough calculation, this grain alone is enough for more than 100 hungry people to eat for a year.

Bai Qi was very satisfied, he felt that he could rely on these things to recruit troops and expand his strength.

In his heart, he had a very real idea, he wanted to kill back, take his men and horses back to Huayin City, catch Fan Ju and Ziyi, and then let them make it clear in front of everyone and return his innocence.

Bai Qi understands very well that the current Qin army must be Fan Ju in charge, so if he wants to seek justice, he must first become stronger.

In troubled times, there is strength to be fair, and Bai Qi is much more sober than Li Yan and others. Because of this, when he was in Huayin City, he didn't defend himself, because he knew that it was useless to defend again, and the strength was in the hands of Fan Ju and Ziyi.

Counting up, Bai Qi was careless twice, the first time he was careless and lost to the Ming army, and the second time he was careless and lost to his own people, he had already made up his mind that there would be no third time.

After settling in the fort, Bai Qi began to send scouts, rode around to inquire about the news, and at the same time used Lei Sheng's connections in this area to start contacting the nearby homeless.

In these years, when there is food, there are men and horses. Put up the recruitment flag, and have their own food eaters. Within a few days, the hungry people from near and far came to the wind, Bai Qi ordered Lei Sheng and the second master to be in charge of the selection, the strong ones were put into the team, the others did some miscellaneous work, and the women were also organized, weaving and sewing clothes, caring for the wounded, and carrying water for cooking.

In just one month's effort, the number of men under Bai Qi increased to 700, including more than 400 strong men.

Since these people came from all over the country, Bai Qi knew the situation within a few hundred miles of the surroundings, knew where there were rich people's forts, how many people guarded each fort, and so on.

Of course, Bai Qi can't sit back and eat empty, and if he wants to seek greater development, he must keep collecting money and food.

So Bai Qi took his strong men and began to rob everywhere, for these forts, he did not take all of them, some of the forts just sent people to send letters, on which was written the amount of money and food requested, if he gave it quickly, let him go, if he didn't give it, then find a way to attack.

Because there are many people in Bai Qi, many forts are frightened when they see these four or five hundred strong men, and they obediently give things, but some forts are heavily guarded and don't take Bai Qi's words in their eyes, at this time, Bai Qi is not polite.

With his siege methods and military strategy, attacking the small fortress is like an old man playing with children, many of the forts seem to have high walls and thick gates, and there are many guards, but they can not support half a day, and they are broken one by one.

Therefore, the more he fought, the greater Bai Qi's reputation in the local area, the more people and horses, and within two months, he broke Jiuzhai and plundered a large amount of money and grain.

Of course, there are many people who are killed.

The surrounding squires and wealthy families were frightened, some fled one after another, some could only ask for something, and some of them swallowed their anger on the surface, and privately sent people to the government to carry out activities, begging the Ming Court to send troops to exterminate this group of thieves.

In fact, Bai Qi made such a fuss, which had already alarmed the Ming Dynasty government.

Because the place occupied by Bai Qi is at the junction of Meixian, Fufeng, and Wugong counties, it belongs to the boundary of Sanzhi, so when he first started tossing, the magistrates turned a blind eye and didn't care too much about him. Because many hungry people are like this, they will either scatter and flee, or starve to death on the spot, and then there will be peasant armies in Shanxi and Henan, and the local government will stop, and the officials will not have to report to the court.

But now it doesn't work, after tossing and turning in vain, the more noisy it is, the happier it becomes, there is no intention of scattering and escaping, and it is unlikely that they want to wait for themselves to starve to death, and it seems that they don't want to go to anyone, some want to occupy the mountain as the king and set up their own banner.

At this moment, the officials of the three counties could not sit still.

If the trouble continues, even if they don't care, those squires will go to Shangfeng to complain, and if it is not good, they will sue the capital, at that time, it is not fun to beat themselves up for harboring anti-thieves, so the county commanders of the three counties sat together and discussed, and they all decided to suppress bandits.

The county order has no military power, but there are garrisons in each county, although there are not many, but there are three or four thousand men and horses in one place. So everyone held a meeting and decided to send more than 2,000 people into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

More than 2,000 people, led by the general of Wugong County, this person is called Fang Hu, who has fought several battles with the peasant army and has made some contributions, so he is aggressive, and feels that the thieves in Taibai Mountain are just a gang of hungry people, a rabble, as long as he comes out of the horse, he will definitely be caught.

So on this day, the sun was shining, the gongs and drums outside Wugong County were noisy, the firecrackers were ringing in unison, the red flags were displayed, the crowds were crowded, several county orders had arrived, and Fang Hu prepared a practice wine, and after a few cannons, Fang Hu took 2,500 infantry, and embarked on the journey.
