Chapter 373: The brave wins
Dad, are you afraid that they will come back? Geng Zhen understood, and asked while arranging the guard.
"The murder weapon of the soldier is also the last resort of the saint! We don't know the situation now, and we can't afford to take precautions. Geng Xiaofan explained and began to arrange for everyone to bury the pot and cook.
Geng Xiaofan's caution was not too much, everyone had eaten, and as soon as they settled down, the gang of thieves really came back!
The thieves were originally Guo clan of Jundu County in Shanggu County, but because of the local tyrants, they had to sell their fields and property and became tenant farmers.
However, even if they became tenant farmers, they still could not escape the exploitation of the powerful, and many families were forced to sell themselves into slavery.
The boss of the Guo family couldn't bear it anymore, so he fled from the military capital with his clansmen, came to this three-regardless realm, fell into the grass, and made a living by plundering passing caravans.
Tonight, Geng Xiaofan met the second child of the Guo family, and he got a hundred catties of gold without much effort, and he was already very satisfied.
I didn't want to go back to the village, but when I told my eldest brother, Boss Guo was a little greedy.
"Second brother, you have been deceived by him. Regardless of whether he really goes to the valley Taishou or not, as soon as you bluff, he will take out so much money. It shows that he must have brought a lot of property. If we make this deal, we won't have to worry about it for at least a few years! ”
"However, if he is really the Taishou of Kamiya, won't we be asking for trouble? I'm afraid that I won't even have a place to stay in the future! Guo Lao Er was a little worried.
"Second brother, even if he is an official and so generous, his money is not coming from the right way! Besides, although there are many others, there are only one or twenty guards, and we are afraid of what he will do! It's a big deal that the brain is extinguished, and the sky doesn't know the earth, isn't it clean? "Boss Guo really can't let go of this piece of fat to his mouth.
Guo Lao Er couldn't persuade his brother, so he had to lead the way himself, and the two brothers poured out.
However, when they arrived, they were dumbfounded.
The sentinels arranged by Geng Xiaofan discovered their whereabouts early and quickly prepared to meet the enemy.
Four or five wagons, side by side at the junction, were set up as barriers, and archers led bows to ambush behind them.
Geng Xiaofan stood majestically in front of the formation.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell, you want to come! I've already spared you guys, so I don't know whether to live or die, so I'm not welcome! ”
Geng Xiaofan raised his hand, and the archer behind him instantly filled the bow!
"The tone is not small, just a few of you, it's hard to fly today!" Boss Guo also raised his long knife unceremoniously. He had already made up his mind not to leave anything alive, so he didn't even have the politeness to persuade him to surrender.
The thieves took advantage of the large number of people and began to charge, but they were shot down one after another. Not only the archers behind Geng Xiaofan, but also arrows flew on the hillside behind the thieves, and they were also "rockets"!
The thieves felt that they had fallen into the encirclement, and they panicked all of a sudden, some fled backwards at a loss, and some rushed forward without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Geng Xiaofan and his son were very calm, and they didn't take advantage of the chaos to attack, but just defended tightly, easily cutting down the "fish that slipped through the net" in front of them, and did not let any "enemy" pass.
In a few moments, there was a wail in front of them!
Boss Guo didn't expect Geng Xiaofan's "arrow array" to be so powerful, and besides, there seemed to be "reinforcements" behind him, so he didn't dare to rush forward, just shouted and commanded his subordinates to charge. But his men were in shambles.
"Dad, capture the thief and capture the king first! Watch me go get his head! Geng Zhen used to always "practice" with Geng Xiaofan on the sand table, and he had never fought in actual combat, but now that he was fighting with real knives and guns, he was a little enthusiastic.
"This is not the time to charge." Geng Xiaofan pulled his son's reins, the night was too dark, and he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, so he was really not sure about letting his son rush in.
Looking at his son's eager gaze, Geng Xiaofan casually took down the longbow behind him and handed it to him.
Geng Zhen understood, took the bow and arrow, and without saying a word, he fired three arrows in a row at Boss Guo.
Boss Guo was far away, and there were his own guards in front of him, so he didn't expect that there would be arrows shooting directly at him, so he hurriedly dodged. How could the three arrows not only be fast, but also powerful, and all of them hit him without landing on the ground!
Boss Guo only felt that the world was spinning, spit blood from his mouth, and fell off the horse.
The guards of the Geng family saw the climax of the young man's archery and shot down the thief in one fell swoop, and couldn't help but raise their arms and shout, "Kill, kill, kill" The shout shook the sky!
The thieves couldn't stand it anymore, so they desperately lifted Boss Guo and fled in embarrassment.
Geng Xiaofan did not pursue, and when he saw the thieves fleeing away, he began to arrange people to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, Guo Boss left Geng Xiaofan with more than a dozen horses and nearly 30 "wounded soldiers", among which there was Guo Laoer, who was shot through the shoulder blade by an arrow.
Geng Xiaofan arranged for someone to heal the wounded soldiers, take proper care of them, and began to teach his son again.
"Zhen'er, don't you feel very enjoyable?" Geng Xiaofan took his son and watched casually on the "battlefield".
"Bloodless! It's a big win! Geng Zhen was really excited.
"Where do you think we won and where did they lose?"
"We are strong, organized and prepared, they are a group of rabble, although there are many people, but they are vulnerable!" Geng Zhen replied casually.
Geng Xiaofan was silent.
"What, am I not right?" Geng Zhen looked at his father suspiciously.
"That's right, but it's not accurate enough, and it hasn't risen to a theoretical level." Geng Xiaofan spoke. "We are victorious because we have the right time, the right place and the right people."
"Ahh Geng Zhen remembered this question that he had discussed with his father before.
"Tonight's wind and snow seem to be bad for anyone, but we are in the upper hand, and the time is good for us. There is also a good location, you should see it very clearly, although we have few people, we are almost surrounded by them. As for the people! Geng Xiaofan paused.
"We are united in our efforts to resist the enemy, and it is justice. Their shameless plunder is unjust. Our people dare to fight hard, but they only care about their own lives, so they can't be braver than us. You said that on the battlefield, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Fighting a war is not simply about the number of people, but more importantly, about the momentum! Our momentum completely crushed them, so, from the very beginning, they were doomed! ”
Geng Zhen was very smart and said it along Geng Xiaofan's train of thought.
"Not bad! There is progress! Geng Xiaofan smiled, "On the battlefield, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat, and the key is information and an accurate grasp of the situation." We prepared in advance, set up traps, and they were like headless flies, and there was no reason to be invincible. ”
"I see! There is no room for sloppiness on the battlefield, and we will have to adjust our deployment later to prevent accidents. Geng Zhen felt that he had gained a lot today.
"Yes! There is no room for the slightest sloppiness, for the general, the slightest carelessness will lose the lives of innocent soldiers. Go and comfort the brothers, and when you have set it up, go to the big tent, and we will judge the thief together. ”
"Okay!" Geng Zhen ran away happily.
Geng Xiaofan sighed, he knew that the thieves would never dare to come again tonight, but he hadn't made up his mind about how to deal with the aftermath.
