Chapter 392: Mo Sword Soldier

After a few days, Shi Bin's long-awaited firearms unit finally arrived in Zhumadian, and his waist was really stiffened.

Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou were very happy that Shi Bin could think of them and was willing to take them to battle, but they couldn't ask for such a good opportunity to make contributions. So on the way here, the two agreed to obey Shi Bin's orders without any suspicion.

So the three of them were very happy to see each other, and it was definitely from the bottom of their hearts.

"Big brother, oh, my lord. What is the current situation? Xie Qiangbing first calmed down and asked.

looked at Xie Qiangbing with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Although it's not very good, Lu Wende and they can still hold on, as long as we send troops in the next few days, it's fine." ”

Li Ergou is a shrewd person, and soon discovered a small problem in Shi Bin's words, what does it mean to 'as long as you send troops in these few days, you will be fine'? This is very inconsistent with Shi Bin's character, he has always been resolute, the soldiers and horses have arrived, and the grain and grass have been raised, why wait for two days?

Looking at Li Ergou's appearance and understanding that Li Ergou had found a problem, Shi Bin smiled and said: "Two days before you came, I transferred 15,000 soldiers from those 80,000 people who still have some combat effectiveness, but they all have a problem..."

"Questions?" Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou said in unison.

"Yes, this problem will have to be solved after you are here."

What problem must they come to solve, can't Shi Bin solve it himself? The two were not convinced.

Without explaining, Shi Bin patted the short gun hanging from his waist. At this point, Xie Qiangbing and Li Ergou understood what Shi Bin meant, which was to let those buns who had never seen the world see the power of the firearms soldiers fighting in the group. When fighting, you won't lag behind, and you will cooperate better.

After the two of them understood the meaning, they immediately went down to arrange the drill.

It's not that I've never seen firearms on the school field once, but I've never seen a group firearms battle, which scared all the 80,000 soldiers present.

After watching the firearms exercise for two days in a row, not only did the newly formed second echelon become completely accustomed to the deafening and terrifying sound of firearms, but even the rest of the more than 60,000 old soldiers with silver-like pewter spearheads were no longer afraid.

Shi Bin was very satisfied with this result. Because in this way, at least it can be guaranteed that once the battle starts, Shi Bin will not mess up his position, and there will be no scandal of deserters attacking his own military formation.

It's just that the price paid made Shi Bin feel a little painful, because nearly 10,000 Shi Bin guns and ammunition were consumed, and twenty Shi Bin guns were scrapped; It also used up nearly 600 wood-handled earth-shaking thunderbolts, fired 150 units of tiger squat shells, and spent 20,000 taels of silver.

However, for the elimination of hidden dangers, 20,000 taels of silver is nothing, so the pain is a pain in the flesh, but Shi Bin does not regret it. What's more, he can ask Li Zong for reimbursement, or even more.

Everything was ready, and Shi Bin immediately led nearly 100,000 troops in his hand to Zhengzhou.

After Meng Ge got the news, he had no choice but to send 50,000 elites to the front of Shi Bin, confront Shi Bin, and recall all the troops who were fighting with Sai Zhangfei to protect the flanks, leaving only 30,000 troops to besiege Zhengzhou.

This made the pressure on Lu Wende in Zhengzhou City suddenly reduced a lot. Lu Wenfu and Lu Wenxin's activity space has become larger, and Sai Zhangfei and Chen Yan have much easier to transport grain.

However, Shi Bin's pressure is much greater, with 50,000 troops on the front and 10,000 on the left and right flanks, although he can confront each other, he does not have much advantage. There is no need to think about Lu Wende's support, the two brothers of Lu Wenfu will fight a good battle at most, that is, Sai Zhang Fei can coerce Chen Yan to give him some support.

After thinking about these things clearly, Shi Bin understood that the army that could really be taken out in his hands and carried by Meng Ge would definitely not exceed 40,000, so this battle was not easy to fight. If you dare to do it brutally, even if you can drive the Yuan people to the north of the Yellow River, you and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be greatly damaged, and you will be foolish. Therefore, this battle can only be outwitted, but not invincible.

However, Shi Bin believed that Meng Ge did not dare to attack easily, and he still had enough time to plan the battle, after all, his general Uliang Hatai was killed by himself, his younger brother Kublai Khan was maimed by himself, and his other younger brother Hulegu was killed by himself. The original several important military towns were taken back by themselves. So as long as he is a steady person, he will not take the enemy lightly and seek death, and how can Meng Ge be a person who takes the enemy lightly?

There is also a thorny problem that Meng Ge must solve, that is, as an attacker, he cannot confront each other for a long time, so Shi Bin is also sure that Meng Ge will definitely not be able to sleep at night now, and the pressure is great.

Thinking about it like this, Shi Bin felt a lot more relaxed, so he went outside the house to breathe in the air and look at the moon, which was considered self-relaxation. At this time, Xu Feng came over and said, "My lord, tomorrow is an auspicious day, you want to open the altar to worship, and ask the gods to bless us with victory in battle, I don't know what you command?" ”

The most annoying thing is this kind of altar sacrifice, although Shi Bin respects his ancestors very much, but this thing is too troublesome. In his opinion, why didn't there be meat for the common people to eat if there were three animals to worship their ancestors? Wouldn't it be happy to drive the Yuan people away from the ancestors in the ground, isn't it the greatest filial piety?

So he said impatiently: "I don't have anything to say, just find a good Taoist temple and don't lose face." ”

After asking for instructions, Xu Feng immediately went to do something, and the next day he naturally opened the altar to worship his ancestors according to the procedure, saying that what should be said and what should be done should be done, just follow the rules.

Finally, at the end, Shi Bin felt exhausted, and without saying a word, he shrank into a side room and went to sleep.

Maybe it was because the pressure of the war was too great, Shi Bin couldn't sleep well, and he actually had a dream of drinking warm wine and killing Huaxiong. After waking up, Shi Bin felt a little puzzled, he was not a horse general, he just knew how to ride a horse, how could he have such a dream? Could it be that he would end up riding on a horse and cutting off Meng Ge's head?

Shaking his head, Shi Bin said to himself: "It's good to be able to escape on a horse, and you can cut him?" ”

Xu Feng, who was following along, immediately became nervous when he heard Shi Bin's words, and asked Shi Bin gently: "My lord, what's wrong, why did you say you escaped?" ”

Xu Feng's words reminded Shi Bin that he couldn't talk nonsense in the army, and if he dared to say that he would escape, the army would collapse without a fight, so Shi Bin immediately became cautious. And explained: "Of course I didn't mean that, but because I had a strange dream. ”

Dream? Is the dream related to escape? Could it be that Shi Bin is really afraid of war?

Knowing that Xu Feng had misunderstood, Shi Bin said: "My dream is... Guan Yun Chang warmed the wine and cut Huaxiong. ”

If you know history, you will know that Hua Xiong was not killed by Guan Yu at all, but by Sun Jian. But Xu Feng, who had never read a book, didn't know, so he naturally didn't know about this loophole, so he just asked: "My lord, this shows that Guan Yu is very powerful and a tiger general." ”

"That's true, but why the dream? The so-called thinking day and night, why did I dream that Guan Yu killed Huaxiong, instead of Li Yuanba killing Yuwen Chengdu? ”

This question can be regarded as asking Xu Feng, and no one can explain the dream clearly, so he has to bow his head and remain silent.

Of course, this question could not be answered, Shi Bin smiled awkwardly and comforted: "This dream is illusory, how can we ordinary people understand?" Xu Feng, you don't have to care. ”

Xu Feng is a person who does not admit defeat, even if he admits that Shi Bin is reasonable, but he also wants to find something related to reality from this illusory dream. So he just nodded and pretended to accept it, but he thought about it in his heart.

Of course, he couldn't stay outside the camp for a long time, so Shi Bin set off back to the camp after resting. Just as he was leaving, there was a small episode: one of the wood-handled Heaven-shaking Thunderbolts was not put in place, causing the five wood-handled Heaven-shaking Thunderbolts to explode together, causing the two horses to run wild in fright.

Just as he was about to kick Shi Bin, one of Shi Bin's soldiers suddenly flashed out and protected Shi Bin. I thought that the soldier would surely die, but I saw him holding a large knife that was a foot long and slashed at the horse. The result was unexpected: the horse was split in half, but the soldiers protecting Shi Bin were unharmed.

Seeing such a scene, Shi Bin immediately understood why he had that dream. And he summoned the soldier who had saved his life, and praised him, and raised him to the rank of chief, and gave him three hundred taels of silver.

Of course, the soldier was overjoyed to receive so many rewards, and thanked Shi Bin again and again. Xu Feng on the side was puzzled, he wanted to reward but didn't have to be so generous.

"Xu Feng, don't you feel strange that I actually gave so many benefits to a small soldier?"

Xu Feng was very smart and didn't answer 'yes' directly, just nodded lightly and made a small sound.

"Not because of anything else, but because he solved a big problem that I feared."

"Big problem?" Xu Feng was puzzled. Now almost all the hidden dangers have been solved, where are there any big problems.

"We don't have any hidden dangers, but have you ever thought about what weapons our newly collected fifteen thousand soldiers will use against the Yuan people?"

I wanted to say very casually, 'Equipped with well-equipped infantry weapons, it's good to use more bows and crossbows', but looking at Shi Bin's smiling face, Xu Feng knew that his answer must be wrong, and most of the mistakes were outrageous. At this time, the unyielding temperament in his heart was aroused again, and he carefully remembered everything that happened before.

Guan Yunchang warmed the wine and beheaded Huaxiong, the soldiers waved the Mo knife to save Shi Bin, Shi Bin rewarded the soldiers, and what kind of weapons did the new soldiers use...

Thinking about it like this, Xu Feng understood what Shi Bin meant, and said: "The subordinates understand what the adults mean, do you want those newly recruited soldiers to use the Mo knife to fight against the Yuan people?" ”

"Yes, Xu Feng, you are really smart." Shi Bin praised with a smile.

"My lord, this Mo knife is a heavy weapon, very rare, no more than fifteen out of a hundred soldiers." Xu Feng said with some concern, "I'm afraid that the adults won't be able to raise so many Mo knives to equip those warriors." ”

So little? On second thought, that's right. How can everyone have such a sophisticated weapon? However, Shi Bin would never let the troops with good combat effectiveness that he could not easily get be bullied by the Yuan people because of poor weapons, which was too embarrassing.

So he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "Xu Feng, tell me about it, where is the Modao in general?" ”

As soon as he heard Shi Bin's tone, Xu Feng immediately understood what he was going to do, but as a hardcore supporter of Shi Bin, of course he would do everything he could to help Shi Bin. So I thought about it.

In the end, the answer was that there were in the armament depots and in the regular troops everywhere, and not in any other place.

"Okay, tell Xie Qiangbing to ask them to go to the warehouses and get knives from the regular army in various places, and rob them for me if they don't know each other! I don't want more, just get three thousand. ”

Three thousand, okay? Xu Feng secretly said that Shi Bin was so domineering. However, he didn't dare to change the order without permission, but just told Xie Qiangbing to ask him to be a little softer, don't rob hard, and give some benefits. But the number can only be more, not less.

Soon Xie Qiangbing got 4,000 Mo knives, and Shi Bin immediately issued them to the 4,000 of the bravest 4,000 people in the 15,000 new army, and each of them also had two sets of leather armor as protective gear.

In this way, the four thousand Mo sword soldiers in Shi Bin's hands can be regarded as formed.
