Chapter 52: Positive Toughness

It was naturally not Jin Biao and others from Yamen Village who came to the city to shout for an attack on the county seat, but Han Xuan went to Han Meng to let him take his family soldiers to play. At present, it seems that the effect is not bad, and many people in Luo County have donated generously, and the donation box is full of copper coins. Han Xuan recruited more than 200 people to join his crusade team, and Han Xuan asked Dong Ping to take them to the armory to receive weapons training.

Han Xuan looked at it and said to Qian Rui and Zhao Mu: "Didn't the county magistrate and the county lord express their expression?" ”

Zhao Mu happily took out a bag of copper coins and said: "This is the official's half-moon salary, count the official's modest efforts!" ”

Han Xuan then looked at Qian Rui again, only to see Qian Rui glance at Zhao Mu hesitated for a while, and when he saw the angry eyes of the people looking at him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "This official will open the granary and distribute grain and grass to the soldiers, uh...... Plus my half-moon of money! ”

Seeing that the anger in everyone's eyes was extinguished, Qian Rui was so frightened that he wiped his cold sweat. Han Xuan smiled: "The county commander is generous. It's just that Luo Ping seems to have a friendship with other cottages, and it is a bit lonely to fight thieves with the strength of this county, and the county can contact the surrounding counties to suppress the thieves with us. ”

Qian Rui said with a smile: "This official will go and report to the county guard, and see if I can ask him to send troops to help me and others." As for the surrounding counties, I will definitely try my best to ......" After speaking, he didn't forget to look at everyone's expressions.

Han Xuan went to Yiyang to find his uncle Han Qi again, as soon as Han Xuan arrived at the door, Han Qi greeted him outside the door early, and saw Han Xuan happily pulling him into the Han Mansion.

Han Qi smiled: "Hehehe, I didn't expect my nephew to be so young and promising, and he became a county lieutenant at the age of twelve." My Han family has produced a talent like a nephew, what a glorious ancestor! ”

After Han Qi finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Han Fei and Han Ning, and said, "Unlike your two brothers, who only know how to read all day long, they have become a rotten Confucian. It is already the year of the weak crown, and he has not yet started a family. ”

Han Xuan arched his hand and said, "Uncle is too famous. The little nephew was just lucky. The two brothers read poetry and books, and their achievements in the future will be higher than Han Xuan. Han Xuanxin said that he is now the "good boy of other people's families" that they envy, but he still has to keep his senses, after all, people are only of the same clan as himself, so he still has to be polite.

Han Xuan arched his hand and said, "The little nephew is here to suppress the thief. Now that banditry is rampant in various counties in Changsha, I have obtained the support of the whole county in Luo County, and I am ready to attack the cottage one day. It's just that the thieves in the Yamen Village don't seem to be simple, and they have close ties with several cottages, large and small, and I'm afraid that they will join forces against the official army. So I came to ask my uncle to help me and join forces with my little nephew to defeat these bandits. ”

Han Qi stroked his long beard and looked at Han Xuan and said with a smile: "The little nephew is really brave and resourceful, I like it very much." Chang'er, Meng'er, you order a thousand soldiers to go with your nephews and nephews, and learn more! ”

Han Xuan didn't expect Han Qi to agree so neatly, he was really his cheap uncle. Is it really that simple? In this era, landlords and businessmen have no status, can it be said that he wants to invest in himself and be a strange person. Yiyang is not far from Luo County, and it seems that he wants to gain a foothold in Luo County, and this Han family with a strong foundation is a help.

Han Xuan asked Han Chang and Han Meng to continue to pretend to be bandits in several surrounding counties, threatening that the bandits would jointly attack the county seat and rob the money, food, and beauties. For a time, many counties and villages sent people to join Han Xuan's crusade team.

Han Xuan's mobilized troops exceeded 4,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of these people was uneven, and Han Xuan selected the elite soldiers as the attacking troops, equipped with the best mountain-attacking equipment and weapons.

After preparing for more than a month, Han Xuan led the army to the foot of Yamenzhai Mountain. Han Xuan looked at the large number of soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but be happy, this time there are soldiers, money, and food, and the wind is down. What are you waiting for, just push it over!

When he came to the gate of the village, Han Xuan pulled his throat and shouted: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded!" This official is the county lieutenant of Luo County, and he has come to suppress thieves on the orders of the county guard! If you don't want to die, go and capture Luo Ping to surrender, I will only punish the evil. The rest of the people will not die! ”

When the bandit patrolled the mountain, Huang Ergou immediately ran up the mountain to report to Luo Ping, and after a while, the shouts of the minions sounded all over the mountain, and the bandits went up to the arrow tower in full gear.

Luo Ping led Jin Biao and Li Chang to the gate of the wall, Luo Ping looked at Han Xuan and shouted: "Isn't this Han Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have actually become a county lieutenant." You brought so many people here to destroy my Yamenzhai? ”

Han Xuan looked up to the sky and shouted, "Not bad! You have done a lot of evil, and it has aroused public outrage. You killed Su Lie, and if you killed Su Zhong and his wife, you should have thought that there would be today! ”

Luo Ping said: "Su Lie committed suicide, Su Zhong and his wife were not killed by me, whether you believe it or not." Although I am a little unscrupulous, I am also a person who dares to do things. ”

Han Xuan turned around and shouted at the soldiers, "Hugh must listen to the thieves." Soldiers, villagers, these bandits bully the people and rob money and food on weekdays, it's time to show them how powerful we are. Soldiers, after exterminating the bandits, money and grain will be distributed according to merit, three stone rice per person, one hundred yuan! Soldiers, forge ahead and kill the thieves! ”

"Kill!" The officers and soldiers held iron shields and wooden shields, and took the lead in rushing over with swords.

They were followed by officers and soldiers armed with spears and wearing leather armor, these soldiers and Han Xuan's elite soldiers who returned from Nanyang to pacify the Yellow Turban, and experienced the battle with the water thieves, the most brave, they kept wielding spears to stab the spearheads into the hearts of the bandits, and the bandits could only retreat one after another.

Han Xuan drew his sword and pointed at the cottage tower and ordered, "Cao Xing, you lead a hundred archers to snipe the thieves on the arrow tower and suppress their arrows. Hou team leads, you lead the villagers to follow the official army to storm the walled gate. Dong Ping led 500 archers with me to suppress the bandits on the walled tower, and we must beat them so that they dare not show their heads and cover our army to rush up to the cottage! Han Meng led his soldiers to stay in the camp. ”

Everyone acted according to the order, and the hundred archers led by Cao Xing were all archers he had personally selected, and the stone bow in their hands was a strong bow. The archers drew their bows like a full moon, and one arrow after another flew towards the bandit archers on the arrows, and the bandits kept screaming and falling.

A large number of villagers followed the official army and just rushed into the walled gate, and a group of hidden bandits appeared on the steep slopes on both sides, and the bandits in the walled gate kept retreating. Just as the villagers rushed into the gate, a rumbling sound came.

"Not good, Rolling Wood Radium!" Han Xuan exclaimed. The villagers were so frightened that they dodged in all directions, how could they dodge the rolling logs that went down the mountain on this narrow mountain road, and suddenly the screams were endless.

Han Xuan grabbed a handful of sand and sprinkled it in the air, measured the direction of the wind, and said to Han Chang: "Han Chang, you lead the soldiers to set fire to the slopes on both sides. Archers shoot rockets to cover and be sure to kill the gang of bandits on the mountain. ”

Han Chang asked his soldiers to wrap the arrows in rags soaked in pine oil, light them and shoot them at the steep slopes on both sides. Since the wind was blowing towards the mountain, all the branches and hay on the mountain suddenly burned, and the fire spread, and the thieves who had released the wood and radium stones had no time to escape and were burned to death by the fire, and their deaths were terrible.
