Shi Zebo and others noticed that although the soldiers of the Jing'an Army were soaked in clothes, they were still in good spirits, and most of them were armed with spears. The length of the spear shaft is about two and a half zhang, and some are about one and a half zhang, and the material is mostly bamboo poles, only the tip of the spear is iron, shining with a silver luster. Some of the soldiers were armed with shields and waist knives, saying that they were shields, and most of them were thick wooden planks with a grip on one side, and some were covered with a layer of cowhide.

The foot soldiers wore the armor of the bearers, and the group passed by one after another, and Ishizawa found all the soldiers wearing leggings, and occasionally found that some of the soldiers in the group had a wide red cloth band tied around their left arm. If it is done by chance, it is found from time to time in the ranks of the Jing'an Army.

Wu Sheng curiously pointed to one of them and asked, "Dare to ask Leader Yu, why is this person's left arm tied with a red cloth belt?" ”

Yu Zhilong said with a smile: "Our army is grass-created, not only there are many new soldiers, but also many officers at all levels are not familiar with it, in order to understand each other conveniently, all the hundred households are specially ordered to tie a red cloth on their left arm to show their military status." In this way, even if the battlefield is chaotic in wartime, and the envoys of various departments are in contact, as long as this hundred households gives an order, the surrounding soldiers can also identify and obey their orders. ”

Zhao Shi added: "In the bloody battle of Linqu that day, it was found that there were many dead or wounded in the hundreds of households of each department, and once they withdrew from the battlefield, the non-commissioned officers under their command were often at a loss because they did not know the command of the officers. Therefore, after the war, the general of our family specially ordered each hundred households to add a red belt on their left arm, so that they could be identified up and down. ”

Shi Zebo and the others couldn't help but look at each other, what a scene it must be to be able to kill many hundreds of households in a big war! There are also a lot of people in Qingfeng Village, and when there is a war, the leaders of each family have their own one, but they have never encountered this situation. The main reason is that they have never fought a tough battle with thousands of people, and the mountain people have been doing it for a long time, once they see that the momentum is not right, they will already talk about it, leaving a few little brothers at most, and most of the leaders are the first to run away. It seems that the scale of the Linqu War is really small!

Wu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and the fan in his hand shook a little faster. The weather was already cold, and he insisted on a gentleman's demeanor, and at this time he felt more and more cold.

Wei Bao looked carefully at the passing soldiers, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Pang Biao hesitated slightly, and then snorted softly, almost inaudible.

Shi Zebo exclaimed and said casually: "The good soldiers brought by Brother Yu!" ”

At this time, weapons and armor were still strictly controlled by the Yuan court, especially a complete piece of armor, which cost a lot of money, and it was even more difficult to obtain weapons. Shi Zebo and the others saw that most of these foot soldiers were carried by a set of armor per person, and they were amazed with a lot of surprise, these armors were obviously the Han army or the Mongol army, if they were not captured after the great victory, how could they easily obtain such a quantity?

Entering the valley, Shi Zebo and other people in Qingfeng Village couldn't help but be stunned again, and the black pressure in front of them, in addition to thousands of soldiers, there were about nearly a thousand war horses, which crowded this small valley to the brim. How difficult it is to walk on the mountain road after the rain, Shi Zebo and these local snakes understand best, according to the original judgment, Yu Zhilong will come over at most one or two hundred horsemen on this trip, after all, cavalry is not something that ordinary people can afford, the consumption of a single war horse is enough to be worth five or six soldiers, if you add training and combat, the consumption is even more amazing. Qingfeng Village is a big village, and there are only nearly 100 war horses that can be supported now! This time, in order to show off, Ishizawa brought almost all of them.

Pang Biao and Wei Bao led the troops for a long time, and looked at the other party's soldiers carefully, at first everyone was just shocked by the number of war horses, and then found that the state of these soldiers seemed to be a little different from the officers and soldiers or peers they had seen before, Shi Zebo and Wu Sheng also carefully figured out what was different in addition to physical fitness.

Suddenly, Shi Zebo found one thing, that is, this valley seemed to be too quiet, people did not shout, horses did not neigh, so that the conversation between Wu Sheng and Zhao Shi and others was clearly audible, which was unusual in front of thousands of people.

Quiet! Still quiet!

Both the soldiers and the horses were almost all quietly organized in their respective areas according to the orders of the officers of the various departments, and no one was running around at all.

There are thousands of people here, almost according to the rules of the hundred-man team, and they are resting in partitions. More than a dozen people who looked like hundreds of households were inspecting and inspecting the front and back of the team, and the soldiers took off their backpacks and knives and guns and placed them at their sides.

No one was making loud noises or exchanging ears, and the soldiers were disassembling the leggings, repeatedly kneading the leg muscles that had stiffened due to the march, and even removing their shoes and socks, and massaging their feet vigorously to relieve fatigue.

The horsemen were more busy, wiping and feeding the horses, inspecting the harness and horseshoe, and tidying up their belongings. The mud they covered in was no different from Yu Zhilong and the others, so you can see how difficult it is to walk this way.

Looking at the age of these soldiers, almost all of them are young and strong, and although they are tired, their eyes are clear, and they have the breath of battlefield conquest in their gestures.

Qian Zheng and other officers saw Yu Zhilong coming back, and they ran over, bowed their hands, and reported the situation of the march all the way.

"I saw General Yu's soldiers today, and I knew that the rumors of the bloody battle in Linqu were true!" Shi Zebo sighed to Zhilong. He has always called Yu Zhilong Yu Xiaoge before, and he didn't mean to look down on him.

Shi Zebo has been a cottage strongman for many years, with thousands of people under him, in this mountainous area, he can be regarded as a person who is one and the same, stomping his feet, and the surrounding land has to tremble, now seeing is believing, Yu Zhilong's subordinates are far superior to his own cottage subordinates at least in terms of discipline.

It is not a day's work to prohibit thousands of people from exercising orders, like arms and fingers. At least Ishizawa thinks he can't do it.

How long has it been since the Linqu incident, and this Yu Zhilong can train such a sergeant?

Pang Biao and Wei Bao were not convinced, but now when they saw that Linqu soldiers were so strong, they praised them twice, and in their hearts compared them repeatedly with their subordinates.

After Zhao Shi arrived in the valley, he sent scouts around, which was already behind the Yuan army camp, about twenty miles away from the Yuan army camp. The focus of the investigation was naturally on the Yuan army camp and its rear roads. Yu Zhilong accompanied Shi Zebo and others in a circle, nearly a thousand sturdy war horses gave Shi Zebo and others a great impact, with this assault force, as long as the timing is chosen properly, it is a key force that determines the outcome of the battlefield.

Before the meeting between the two sides, Shi Zebo did not expect much from Zhilong and other people, and took it for granted that after the battle of Linqu, the strength of the Shuntian army should be greatly damaged, so Qingfeng Village was the main force of this attack on the camp, he cherished his strength very much, and was worried that the loss was too great, so he strongly demanded dominance in the command and distribution of the results just now, and now it seems that the home-guest transposition is inevitable.

When waiting for the people and horses of Qingfeng Village to converge, a spy from the cottage ran over in a hurry, and he found that on the official road dozens of miles away, a team of baggage came from Yishui, with hundreds of people and cars, which should be to deliver grain to the Yuan army camp.

Yu Zhilong slapped his big hand, he was really sleepy and sent a hot pillow, now that most of the supplies he carried have been consumed, he can just use these supplements, and more importantly, he may also have the opportunity to capture prisoners and understand the details of the enemy.

There are only 100 people in Qingfeng Village here, and they have no ability to rob the road, Yu Zhilong said to Shi Zebo: "The people and horses of your village have not been able to catch up, since there is meat to eat, how can there be a reason not to occupy it." This time, let's wait for the big boss, let's take action from the Shuntian Army. ”

Shi Zebo and Wu Sheng glanced at each other, thinking that there were at least hundreds of officers and soldiers accompanying the guards, and they were indeed not able to catch their strength, so they just took this opportunity to take a look at the other party.

"Then there will be work! Sixth, lead the way for General Yu. Ishizawa commanded.

Wu Sheng was careful and said to Wei Bao: "Send all the brothers out first, and watch all the dangers carefully, so as not to let the officials and soldiers slip through the net." ”

Qingfeng Village once robbed the grain and grass of the official army, but this kind of behavior is very easy to incur the severe retaliation of the Yuan court, once the official army entered the mountain to encircle and suppress, Qingfeng Village because of the lack of strength, mostly gave up the cottage, in the mountains around guerrilla raids, tired of the officers and soldiers. When the officers and troops were exhausted, they had to retreat, but in fact, neither side was favored. Later, Shi Zebo and others tried not to provoke the grain and straw of the officials and soldiers, so as not to retaliate from the imperial court. Now the situation is different, with the cooperation of the Shuntian Army, Shi Zebo still wants to intervene.

Thinking about this matter, Shi Zebo said generously: "Then it's hard for the general, and we will take the work to lead the way!" Biaozi, you take people in person, but you can't lose the face of our cottage. ”

"General Yu, my brother estimates that it will take a few hours to arrive, if he can destroy all these officers and soldiers, it may help this attack on the camp!"

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi both nodded, this Shi Zebo's brain turned fast, and it coincided with himself.

Wu Sheng said: "This time, please also ask the general to capture the other party's command as much as possible, maybe you can still use it!" ”

"Yes, that's what we mean!" Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi agreed with a smile.

Without further ado, Yu Zhilong ordered Ma Rulong and Qian Zheng to lead their troops, under the leadership of Pang Biao, to set off quickly and rush to the suitable ambush location in front. Wu Side's and Yu Shichang's cavalry were not suitable for this task, and they still rested on the spot.

After Zhao Shi considered it, he ordered: "This ambush is the first battle in the south, and the stakes are very important, and my subordinates are willing to personally lead the troops to strengthen the army." ”

Yu Zhilong thought about it for a while, Ma Rulong and Qian Zheng and other positions are equal, and they really need a person to lead and coordinate, and they have come here with a lot of hard work, so they should fight rabbits with the momentum of a goshawk, and with Zhao Shi as commander, they can deal with unexpected situations much faster.

"Then it's hard work! Pay attention to the terrain and don't let anyone go. In particular, do not alarm the scouts of the large camp of Tartars. ”

"No!" Zhao Shi led the order and strode forward. Ma Rulong was overjoyed, urging his troops to gather quickly and set off first. Yu Shichang and Wu Side were unhappy and continued to rectify the military horses.

With Zhao Shi presiding, Yu Zhilong was much more relieved.

When the brigade of Qingfeng Village was about to arrive, a herald rushed back and happily told Yu Zhilong: The Yuan army's baggage, porters, and guarded military horses were all annihilated, and none of them escaped the net, among which 267 Yuan soldiers and porters were captured, and more than 100 Yuan soldiers were killed.

Pang Biao reported again, but he did not alarm the scouts of the Yuan army camp and caught more than a dozen Yuan pawns who slipped through the net.

Shi Zebo and Yu Zhilong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them were amazed. Although they are not worried about missing out, they are worried about whether they can be wiped out and not miss a single person. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the subsequent attack on the camp to succeed.

Since there is a baggage team, Yu Zhilong discussed with Shi Zebo, and simply replaced all the personnel, pretending to be the other party, and blending in. When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined.

Not long after, Zhao Shi and Ma Rulong came back with dozens of people first, and they also pressed four prisoners. Seeing Yu Zhilong, he pointed to these captives and said: "This is the deputy thousand households of the Han army guarded by the Tartars, this is a few hundred households, and several leaders were slaughtered in this battle." ”

Yu Zhilong, Shi Zebo and others stepped forward and looked at these Yuan army officers carefully, those people were already trembling, and when they saw the enemy leader, they all kowtowed, and even called for mercy.

A smile appeared on Yu Zhilong's face, signaling that only the thousand households would be left, and the rest of the captives would be taken down first.

"If you want to live, listen carefully to my questioning, and if there is a falsehood, I will light your sky lantern!" Yu Zhilong patted the head of this thousand households, these thousand households were tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground, since he was captured, he has been nervous, he is a greedy person who is afraid of death, just to win military merits to do the light task of escorting grain and grass, but unexpectedly touched this kind of unfortunate thing.

Seeing that this leader was so young, but he said cruel words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Wu Side was furious, jumped up, slapped his face fiercely, opened his eyes like copper bells, his face trembled, and said angrily: "I don't know how to die, what are you doing!" Dare to have a trace of concealment, we want you to look good! ”
