Chapter 24 The landlord's family has no surplus food

Han Hao and Wang Fu struggled for a long time, Wang Fu's left-hand knife technique became more and more treacherous, and Han Hao gradually fell behind.

A large number of people led by Guo Xuan were fighting with the Han family's soldiers, and Dong Ping and Yang Xiong were protecting Han Xuan's sides inch by inch. Seeing that Han Hao was in a critical situation, Han Xuan hurriedly pulled out his sword and said to the two, "Go and help my eldest brother, I can protect myself." ”

The two immediately took their weapons to join the battle group, and compared with the previous defeat, the two summed up their experience and attacked more cautiously. Dong Ping strengthened his defense when he was attacking and firmly protected his flaws.

The three of them first frequently attacked Wang Fu with wheel battles, and when Wang Fu was about to attack, he immediately replaced the other two to save him. Wang Fu was dragged out of his mind for a while.

After that, the three of them attacked Wang Fu from three directions together, especially Yang Xiong, who had previously served as a personal guard under Han Hao and got along with Han Hao day and night, and they cooperated very tacitly at the moment. Dong Ping also waved his two guns and attacked Wang Fu again and again, and Wang Fu was forced to retreat again and again by the three of them for a while.

The Han family's soldiers were inferior in numbers, and people kept falling in the fight with Guo Xuan's men and horses. More than a dozen bandits rushed towards Han Xuan, and several family soldiers escorted Han Xuan and kept retreating, waving the sword in his hand to block the stabbing sword. Han Xuan also fought side by side with them, but after all, Han Xuan was young and lacked strength, and a few beads of sweat the size of beans flowed from his forehead soon after the battle.

While Han Xuan and the others were fighting hard, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance, and everyone was shocked. A rain of arrows fell from the sky, and many of the bandits led by Guo Xuan were killed and wounded, and all of them had standard feather arrows stuck in their backs.

I saw a group of red-clothed soldiers in black leather armor behind them, armed with spears, striding in a neat phalanx, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust. A big flag flutters in the wind, and the big character of Han Li written on the banner is "Han"!

Han Xuan looked at these well-equipped Han Dynasty officers and soldiers, and couldn't help but feel deeply shocked, this is the elite! However, Han Xuan visually measured that there were only about seven or eight hundred officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but their formation had already frightened the bandits so much that they couldn't hold their swords.

The officers and soldiers rushed into this group of bandits in a strict military formation, like wolves entering a flock of sheep, tearing the more than 1,000 bandits into a big hole, Han Xuan immediately raised his arms and shouted to the soldiers: "Kill the thieves!" "With the Han family's soldiers and officers and soldiers to flank the panicked bandits, the scene turned into a one-sided slaughter for a while, the bandits screamed and screamed, and many bandits took advantage of the chaos to flee.

Song Shuang saw that the situation was not right, and he had already taken the people from his cottage to slip away, and the bandit leaders of several small cottages were still confronting the thousands of soldiers left by Han Hao, and when they heard that Song Shuang had escaped, they also led their own people to flee. At this time, there was only one copycat of the bandit Guo Xuan left on the field, Guo Xuan wanted to fight his way out of the encirclement, but was killed by the rebels.

Wang Fu, who was fighting with Han Hao and the others, saw that the general trend had gone, and it was impossible for him to escape today, so it was better to die than to be captured alive and tortured. Immediately jumped out of the battle group, stood with a sword, and looked at everyone with a dead face: "Han Hao Han Xuan, don't be complacent." When I die, you will not die soon. I'm waiting for you on Huangquan Road! After saying that, he smiled and picked up the sword and killed himself.

The battle was finally over, and a few of the Han officers and soldiers who came to support Han Xuan walked out, Han Xuan looked at two of them and said in surprise: "Wan'er, Brother Dong Zhong!" How did you guys get here? ”

Dong Wan ran over to Han Xuan with a smile and said, "Wan'er doesn't worry about you, so she goes to ask her father to help you." Wan'er is amazing, right? Han Xuan smiled and hooked her nose: "Awesome, awesome." My Wan'er sister is the best! Brother Xuan really wants to thank Sister Wan'er this time. Dong Wan was taken aback by his sudden movement, stepped back and lowered her head to look at Han Xuan, her little face flushed with shame.

When Han Hao saw Dong Zhong, the two saluted each other, and Han Xuan also arched his hand to Dong Zhong and asked, "Brother Dong Zhong, where did these officers and soldiers come from?" ”

Dong Zhong replied: "It's Wan'er who doesn't worry about you, so she went to ask Brother Ling for help and then came back to her father for help." After my Dong family borrowed eight hundred elites from you, I really couldn't draw many people. So my father went to see the prefectural magistrate, but fortunately, my father had some friendship with the prefectural magistrate, and the prefectural magistrate agreed to send troops to come with me. ”

Han Hao Han Xuan hurriedly thanked Dong Zhong and Dong Wan, Han Xuan looked at Dong Wan and was very moved, this little Lori not only helped him a lot, but also saved his life.

It's just that Han Xuan is curious that there are so many bandits in the entire Hanoi County, and the officers and soldiers have not sent troops to exterminate them for so many years. I don't know how the head of the Dong family can say that these county orders who seek stability for themselves. Could it be that the head of the Dong family and the county magistrate had a dirty deal? Maybe the Dong family gave some benefits to the county commander, but this time, thousands of thieves from large and small cottages alarmed the county guard? The county order took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to catch war exploits? Of course, these are just Han Xuan's guesses.

However, this time Han Xuan saw the combat effectiveness of the official army of the Han Dynasty with his own eyes, no wonder the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed in less than nine months, and Wang Fuzhi also said that "the country is always destroyed by weakness, and the Han Dynasty is destroyed by strength." Han Xuan saw the gap between the Han family's soldiers and the regular army of the Han Dynasty, and secretly decided to go back and discuss with Han Hao to train these soldiers.

The officers and soldiers cleaned up the battlefield together with the Han family soldiers and got a lot of weapons, horses and other trophies. Han Hao even generously gave it to the officers and soldiers and the Dong family's soldiers, except for the more than 500 good horses that Han Xuan bought.

As for the bandit captives, except for some people who had intended to defect to the Han family before, Han Xuan asked them to panic first and claim that they were soldiers of the Han family, and the rest were all handed over to the officers and soldiers for custody. This time, a lot of thieves were caught, and the county order was reported to the higher authorities, and they would definitely be promoted and rich, and these officers and soldiers could also get some benefits, so they were all busy at this time, waiting to bring them back to the county seat to receive the reward.

Han Xuan asked Dong Ping to return the 800 soldiers borrowed from the Dong family to Dong Zhong, and after this bloody battle, less than half of the 800 people remained, so Han Xuan begged Han Hao to draw a few hundred soldiers from the Han family to return them first. Han Hao naturally agreed, and Han Xuan asked Dong Zhong for Dong Ping to be his bodyguard, and Dong Zhong said that he would ask his father the head of the Dong family for this matter, but Dong Wan and Han Hao also came to help Han Xuan speak, and Dong Zhong had to agree privately.

Those Dong family soldiers experienced this battle and admired Han Xuan and Han Hao, although many people were reluctant to go back, Han Xuan still urged them to go back. Seeing that they all looked at Han Xuan expectantly, Han Xuan realized that he had promised to reward the people who captured Yu Jian before, and they killed and injured more than ten people in order to capture Yu Jian, and as a result, Yang Xiong took the credit.

Han Xuan wanted to make a blank check, but looking at them with a sincere (unwilling) look at him, Han Xuan said wildly in his heart, grandma, I thought you were reluctant to want to stay and continue to work for me, but I didn't expect to come to ask for wages! Han Xuan had no choice but to beg Han Hao, and after he went back, he allocated 200,000 yuan from the account office to give them an equal share.

The soldiers of the Han family saw that they happily received the reward, and they also looked at Han Xuan expectantly. Han Xuan couldn't help but scold, peat, people open their mouths to ask for money, what are you talking about. Is this still a soldier of his own family! There is no way, people in this era are particularly credit-worthy, Han Xuan may have promised a heavy reward for those who can kill Wang Fu before, since he said it, he must keep his word.

Han Xuan opened his mouth to ask Han Hao for 300,000 yuan again, and seeing Han Hao's embarrassed face, Han Xuan looked at Han Hao with a cute face: "Ernie sauce, you can help the Lun family." ”

Han Hao couldn't stand this strange brother and that cheap expression, and looked at Han Xuan with a look of disgust after agreeing: "This loser's brother!" ”

Han Xuan: "Meow meow? ”

Han Hao: "......"
