Chapter 13: The Army and the Clansmen

But he said that last night, after the big man called the villagers and put out the fire in the pigsty overnight, the time was close to daylight.

And Mi Fang and the potters and other pig thieves had already slipped away without a trace, only biting the big man's steel teeth, and they couldn't wait to immediately swallow those thieves alive.

When the villagers heard Dahan's description, their hearts were full of doubts.

With the courage of the big man, everyone has heard of it from far and near within a radius of hundreds of miles, which one is impatient and dares to provoke him? …… Looks like a foreigner did it!

Dahan was also puzzled in his heart, and immediately summoned the clan warriors of the whole village to ask if there were any living people nearby recently.

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and naturally the target is locked on the head of the Xuzhou army - a hundred miles away, except for the passing Xuzhou army stationed near here, there are no other outsiders.

This matter is basically a certainty.

This found the right master, and the clan residents led by the Han Dynasty could not help but be filled with righteous indignation.

The people in this village are of the same clan, most of the people are surnamed Xu, in the early years of the hometown suffered from the Yellow Turban, so with the young patriarch migrated here, since the migration to here, because of the majesty and courage of the patriarch, established a foothold here, no one dared to provoke within a radius of 100 miles, the patriarch of this Xu Zhuang has also become a real snake here.

But now it's good, a group of foreign soldiers appeared, and without saying a word, they ran to the village to steal pigs, but it was the patriarch's livestock that they stole...... Isn't that a disregard for people?

The Han has not suffered such humiliation for many years, how can he give up.

So, under the instigation of everyone, the Han immediately ordered the young and strong men of the clan in the village, took weapons, and gathered the crowd to come to the camp of the Xuzhou army, and vowed to seek justice.

When the big man came, he was still thinking that the person who stole the pig last night should be an ordinary soldier who was not strict under the control of the Xuzhou army, at most a junior officer such as a captain and a centurion! So when he arrived at the camp, he shouted for the leading general of the barracks to come out and speak! Whatever you say, let the general thoroughly investigate the matter, and arrest the soldiers who steal without permission and punish them severely!

It's a bit of a post-world/visited-to-the-world.

never thought that when he saw the leader, Dahan was directly stunned.

I don't need to do a thorough investigation this time...... Because the leader is the one who steals the pigs!

The world is chaotic, and now these military people are too inferior in character!

Eating the salary of the imperial court and holding the fortune of the Han Dynasty, how could he raise such a general who steals chickens and dogs!

Replaced by others, as soon as he saw that the Xuzhou army was the head of the thief, he might go back directly, how could this patriarch of Xuzhuang still be young, and he was quite short-tempered and brave on weekdays, and he was a rectum, once he was stubborn, nine cows couldn't pull it back!

When the big man saw Mi Fang, he was immediately angry, raised the war knife in his hand, and pointed at Mi Fang angrily: "Lose your mother!" I didn't think it was you!! Pig thief, see where you are fleeing today! ”

Mi Fang listened to the big man's shout, and just wanted to refresh himself and say a few words in return, but saw that the big man suddenly swung the war knife in his hand towards his chest, raised his head with his chest up, raised his head to the sky, and let out an earth-shattering roar.

"I am Xu Chu of Qian County!! Do you dare to come out and fight to the death with a certain family!! ”

This voice shouted out, like a thunderbolt exploding, shocking the four fields, and everyone did not change color.

Mi Fang, who was about to speak, heard this shout, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

When I was young, I saw that the commander of the three armies of the Xuzhou Army did something shocking......

Mi Fang turned the horse around, and drove the horse back to the camp with a pale face, still muttering: "Urgency." ”

The two sides were stunned, and thousands of soldiers couldn't help but look at them......

Mi Fang was actually scared away by the man named Xu Chu.

Xu Chu looked at Mi Fang, who was scared away by himself, and the war knife in his hand pointing at the opponent's figure was also suspended in the air, and the whole person's movements seemed to be frozen.

Mi Fang's side, the potter was also shocked, and he couldn't be surprised.

On the one hand, he didn't expect Mi Fang to be so shameless, and he was so frightened that he ran back to the camp without letting out a single fart. On the other hand, he never thought that the big man on the other side, who regarded pigs as treasures, was actually Xu Chu, a famous warrior in the late Han Dynasty, no wonder he had such terrifying bravery.

The pottery merchant was a book editor in his previous life, and the historical masterpieces were naturally engraved in his mind, thinking that Xu Chu was a few fierce generals known to Cao Wei, with great bravery, and was the inseparable personal bodyguard of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, who was fully responsible for Cao Cao's personal safety, and never made any mistakes.

Historical records record that this Xu Chu was born in Zongzheng and had the ability to gather village households to resist foreign invaders...... In today's parlance, it is "gathering crowds to make trouble".

But no matter how powerful Xu Chu is in the history books, he is not as good as Mi Fang in the eyes of potters...... People who are scared by a throat to borrow urine must have a lot of urine.

The east wind is coming, blowing a lot of fallen leaves, rowing in a circle and falling in the middle of the two camps, and it is worth noting that the fallen leaves in the field are quiet at the moment.

After a while, the potter coughed lightly, smiled at Xu Chu on the opposite side, and then pointed to the direction where Mi Fang disappeared, and said apologetically: "Xu Zhuangshi, my general Mi ate something bad in the morning and was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so I will go back and call him back, and I hope that the strong man will be a little restless." ”

Xu Chu opened his mouth, nodded sneeringly, and said, "There is labor." ”

The potter turned his horse around and walked towards the rear as well.

In his opinion, as a dignified supervisor, he actually went to help Xu Chu call people, such a humble gentleman with such a grace and politeness, he really couldn't find a second one.

It's a pity that the potter's thinking is a bit simple, and the gentleman is not so easy to be.

Seeing that the potter also turned the horse's head, Xu Chu suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Lose your mother!" You're not a good thing, you give a certain station there! Today, a certain family will first reason with you, and then find the one who ran away! ”

The indescribable grievances in the hearts of the potters...... Mi Fang, as the commander of the first army, should have been the one who should have done this kind of thing, but it was suddenly his turn to be in his head.

"Xu Zhuangshi...... What's the point? ”

Xu Chu's face sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Finger a fart!" You wait for these thieves and barbarians who are under the banner of the Han army, looking like individuals on their faces, and they don't do anything, and say! How are you going to give an account to a certain family about last night? ”

"Last night?" The potter pretended to be confused and said, "It should be the first time I have met a strong man in Xia, right?" ”

Xu Chu raised his finger and pointed at the potter's nose from afar, and said, "Don't give this to a certain family!" I know the thieves when they turn to ashes! Isn't it you who threatened a certain family with a knife and a pig last night! What a grudge against a certain animal and you, you actually set fire to it! A certain family has to ask for an explanation for the livestock if they say anything today! ”

When the potter heard this, his handsome face sank slightly, his slender sword eyebrows rose slightly, and he looked coldly at Xu Chu who was scolding him on the other side.

It's not a comfortable thing to be scolded by someone pointing at the tip of your nose...... Although this is indeed the fault of one's own people, how can there be so many things in this world that need to be explained? Guy because of the strength!

Every world is a world of great contention, and the era in which the potters live is by economic struggle, and this chaotic era is by force.

In the current situation, if you want to reason with the other party, you must first show your strength.

Sometimes, it is only effective to salute before the soldiers.

Taking a deep breath, the potter suppressed the anger in his heart without a trace, and said: "The strong man said that I will go to Guizhuang to steal pigs last night, I don't know if there is any evidence?" ”

"Evidence?" Xu Chu's cheeks twitched a few times unconsciously, and said, "A certain family has seen it with their own eyes, what evidence do you need!" ”

Hearing this, the potter shook his head and said, "It's just a strong man, but there is nothing to corroborate, and no one else can see it, so I'm afraid it's not credible." ”

Xu Chu said angrily: "I don't believe it? If you wait for the thieves to steal pigs and set them on fire in the middle of the night, it is difficult to let the livestock of a certain family come out to testify! ”

Hearing this, the potter smiled and said, "Since the strong man can't find a witness, then I don't have the leisure to accompany you here." ”

Xu Chu listened to the words of the potter, and a spark burst out of the bull's eyes with a big copper bell, and said, "In this way, you kid want to repay the debt?" Good! Since you don't want to be a thief, let a certain family capture you alive, and then see if you admit it! ”

After that, he waved the saber in his hand forward, and saw hundreds of Zhuang Han behind him whistling and waving axes, knives and guns, hoes, rakes and other iron tools in his hands.

"Aggressiveβ€”"

The crossbow army that had been displayed on both sides of the camp suddenly went into a frenzy, and at the moment when the herald waved the flag, hundreds of arrows hung on the bowstring, and the sharp arrows that were hidden ready to be fired shot out in almost no particular order.

Fortunately, before leaving the camp, the potter had already instructed not to hurt people easily!

Therefore, the hundreds of sharp arrows were not aimed at the croppers, but were all pierced on the dirt road where they were rushing to the Yuanmen. All the sharp arrows were pierced into one-fifth of the shaft, and they were lined up in a row, like a low fence, warning the other party not to take another step beyond the thunder pool.

"Shame on you! It's actually a rhubarb crossbow! Xu Chu looked at the crossbow arrows on the ground, and his heart suddenly became cold.

The so-called rhubarb crossbow is the most powerful crossbow in the Han Dynasty, and it is often used in military chariot warfare.

The big yellow crossbow is big and small, the big one needs to be used as a medium to support the aiming and shooting, just like a small mobile ballista, the small hands can hold it, it is five or six inches shorter than the normal longbow, the crossbow power ranges from one stone to ten stones, and the strongest ten-stone crossbow is also called the yellow shoulder crossbow. The people who can use it must be the ones whose physical fitness and strength have reached the peak among the people at that time.

Among the people who are good at using the big yellow crossbow, Li Guang, the flying general of the Western Han Dynasty, is the most famous. As for the hardcover crossbowmen of the Xuzhou army, although they can't pull the hardest yellow crossbow, they can still do it with about two stones.

Looking at the Han Dynasty, although the yellow crossbow was not unusual, only the central army of the Han Dynasty and the local regular state army were qualified to equip it.

Although Xu Chu was brave, the clan military horses under his command belonged to the militia, and there was no military support from the government in terms of equipment, nor was it like a local warlord who could make a resource reserve, and he was completely different from the regular army in terms of armor and weapons.

The yellow crossbow of about 200 steps is enough to pose a mortal threat to these people's troops, which is a gap that cannot be made up by Xu Chu's personal bravery.
