"It's a roe deer, the captain is amazing!"

"Hungry! Roasted...... Well, the soup ......."

Shi San put away the arrows and looked at the Qianlai recruits behind him, with a little smugness in his eyes.

Bao Ye asked for seven hundred to one thousand conscriptions, and he brought back a whole thousand people.

A few days ago, the five of them split up to lead the conscription.

Shi San took the initiative to choose the northeast direction, took fifty people to hurry, and went directly out of Chuzhou and went to Xuyi County, which is adjacent to Yongyang.

Nowadays, officials are so greedy that the common people can't survive.

Not only the people of Chuzhou look forward to the whiteshirts, but the people of Chuzhou also look forward to the whiteshirts.

Half of the eldest child in the family is the most able to eat, and he can't feed it, so it's not a good thing to be a soldier and take care of food.

The reputation of the white-shirts is better than that of the court soldiers, and the people can feel more at ease.

Before Shui Jin, he led the troops to sweep Duliang Mountain, and he had already beaten out the name of the Chuzhou White Shirt Army.

He incorporated the more than 3,000 people, and there were the people of Chuzhou who took the initiative to follow the army.

It's easy to recruit here.

In three days, Shi San recruited 1,000 people.

It's the rations here, which are somewhat insufficient.

Shi San bought a few hundred catties of grain at a squire's house, but he couldn't stand the crowd, only enough for one or two meals.

He used to be the head of the archers, and now he is the deputy captain of the archers, and most of the fifty people he brought out are acquaintances of the archers.

It was convenient for everyone to bow and arrow, and they shot a lot of prey along the way to fill rations.

Fortunately, Chuzhou is in sight, rest for the night, leave early tomorrow, and arrive in the afternoon.

A thousand recruits, the younger ones are thirteen or fourteen, and the older ones are in their twenties.

"We are also the Chuzhou Army!"

"The Chuzhou army is so majestic! Kill all the bandit nests in Duliang Mountain! ”

"Haha, the landlord is scared to death! His daughter is a bandit in the mountains! ”

"The general of the Chuzhou army copied his house and divided all their food, and my family divided thirty catties! My father said that without those 30 catties of grain, my family would have run out of cooking and would not be able to survive the autumn harvest! ”

"It would be good when the Chuzhou army occupied Xuyi. I heard that the canals were opened for the people, and the seeds were given on credit! ”

“……”

Listening to the chatter of the newcomers, the accompanying tun chief said to Shi San: "Master Shui is brave, I heard that it is the marksmanship of the elementary school!" Shui Ye has a good relationship with our Bao Ye, and he always comes to Bao Ye when he is in Black Python Mountain. If Bao Ye doesn't use brute force, he can't compare to Shui Ye! ”

Another said: "We borrowed the strength of Master Shui from this conscription...... I'm afraid it's not very good for Uncle Zhu......"

The direction chosen by Zhu Gang is Quyang, which is the area of Black Python Mountain.

"Deng Ye is really a killer, Qu Yang's soldiers killed more than 3,000 people when they went down to suppress bandits...... I heard that many villages are chickens and dogs, and they don't leave ......," a well-informed chief sighed.

"Quyang is really messy, it should have been cleaned up a long time ago, and there was an eyeless rogue who had the idea of beating our grain truck last time! If it weren't for the large number of escorts on board, let them succeed. ”

Quyang County has been out of order since March, and the ownership of the county seat has changed hands several times.

There was a great drought below, and then it was swept away by the Lingshui rout.

There are landed ruffians who take the opportunity to loot, and more people who have no food have become bandits.

Shi San listened to what his subordinates said, thinking about Zhu Gang, Zhu Qiang, Liang Zhuang, and Qiu Wei.

With the end of this conscription, the Wolf Warrior Battalion expanded, from 1,005 to 5 or 6,000.

But now there are only two thousand households under Bao Ye and one deputy thousand households.

There are two or three vacancies for thousands of households, and the candidates are a few of them.

Zhu Gang, Zhu Qiang, and Liang Zhuang are already Qu Chang, far more qualified than him and Qiu Wei.

You have to find an opportunity as soon as possible and make a big contribution!

Shi San was thinking about it, and the two archers hurried over, panting and saying: "Captain, the official road is not right, the smoke and dust are too big, and there is a large army coming from the direction of Bozhou!" ”

Shi San "Teng" stood up, "swished" a few times and climbed up a big tree in front of him.

He stood in the treetops, his hands on the pergola, and looked north.

Now in the golden autumn season, the autumn is high and cool, and the smoke and dust in the distance are very obvious.

"All hidden, silence!"

Shi San clenched his fists fiercely, jumped down from the tree and ordered to go down.

His heart was like a war drum, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

This change shocked the recruits who were still chirping like sparrows all lost their minds and were driven into the woods to hide.

Shi San's eyes lit up, and he looked for two clever ones: "Investigate nearby and estimate how many people there are on the other side!" ”

The two men answered, and went to investigate.

Shi San looked to the west, and Jin Wuxi fell.

It's getting dark, and no matter who the soldiers and horses are, it's time to station.

……

Chuzhou, City Gate.

The gatekeeper stood on the tower of the city gate, and when he saw that no one was coming or leaving the city, he looked at the sky again, and when it was time to close the gate, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Another day passed peacefully.

Because of the orders of the owner of the horse village, the city gate guards have been in good spirits for the past few days, staring at the safety of the city gate.

"Click, click", the sound of rapid horses' hooves came from far and near.

The heart of the city gate guard couldn't help but lift up, and he looked into the distance.

As soon as I rode from the north road, I was under the city gate in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the city gate guard below was about to intercept it, but the city gate guard had already recognized the sign in the person's hand and hurriedly said: "Release the person!" With that, he hurried down the city gate.

This man was one of the scouts sent out overnight last night.

The horse entered the city quickly, and no one got off the horse, and went directly to the state capital.

The gatekeeper shivered into the distance.

"Close the door!"

……

State office, council chamber.

Huo Bao, Ma Zhai Master, and Li Qianhu are all there.

"Five thousand soldiers, plus a thousand child soldiers, you are not afraid to guard for a few days...... "The owner of the horse village muttered.

If there are 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses coming, Chuzhou can still resist and wait for the main force on the Binjiang side to come to help.

If you exceed this number too much, you can only choose to abandon the city.

You can't be surrounded as bait and hook the people and horses outside to come back and send them to death.

Li Qianhu twisted his eyebrows: "If you really want to defend the city, you can still draw three to four thousand people in the city......"

This is the reluctance to abandon the city.

The three of them all knew in their hearts that if it was time to lose the state capital to protect themselves, the entire Chuzhou would be lost.

Yongyang is the state capital in the end, and the city wall is high, so it can't be defended here, so Quyang and Binjiang don't have to be defended.

Hezhou hasn't been fought yet, if Chuzhou is lost, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are outside, and it's suspenseful to think about it.

Huo Bao gritted his teeth: "If only there were cavalry!" ”

Even if there are cavalry with a small number of people, they can go out of the city to meet the battle, not facing the enemy head-on, and only attacking and harassing is enough for the other party to drink a pot.

It's a pity that Huo Shun, who went to Liaoyang Racecourse in June, has not come back with any news.

There were no cavalry in Chuzhou, only Shui Jin and Deng Jian robbed 100 horses when they "suppressed bandits", and they were all filled with heralds.

The owner of the horse village looked at Huo Bao.

If Huo Bao insisted on defending the city, then he, the sixth uncle, would have to be tough and arrange for someone to send him to Binjiang in advance.

Otherwise, if Huo Bao really misses a little, the fifth brother will go crazy.

Huo Bao looked at the owner of the horse village worried, and said: "Sixth uncle, don't worry, in the eyes of my nephew, people are the most important......

Li Qianhu paced, a little anxious: "Do you want to go to Quyang to transfer troops immediately?" ”

There are still 3,000 people in Quyang County.

Quyang is close to the state capital and can be reached in one day.

The owner of the horse village and Huo Bao glanced at each other.

Quyang knows, Binjiang will know.

If there is a false alarm, the movement will be too big.

"Wait another half a day!" Ma Zhai said: "If the news of Bozhou does not come back tomorrow, the news of Lingshui should also come back......

Before the words fell, there was already movement outside.

"General Ma, report urgently!"

The master of the horse village immediately stood up: "Come in!" ”

came in and said directly: "Tell the general, the Bozhou White-shirted Army is coming from the north...... There was no flag, the ranks were not in order, the soldiers were between six thousand and nine thousand, and the garrison was sixty miles from the state capital......"

The owner of Ma Zhai frowned and said, "They didn't come directly from Bozhou?" ”

The scouts were sent out last night, and rode horses for a night and a day, and went out more than sixty miles.

If these people had come from Bozhou, they would have met each other head-on.

The person who came took a breath: "It's not from Bozhou, it's from Duliang Mountain...... The subordinates traveled at night last night, and this morning they went to Jiashan County, Bozhou, and learned important news...... On the Jiashan side, the people all said that Marshal Sun welcomed the little sect leader into Bozhou, and the little sect master was proclaimed emperor in Bozhou! ”

Immediately, the faces of the people changed.

Isn't this Marshal Sun crazy?

Where is this people, it's a great scourge!

The remnants of the number one anti-thief wanted by the imperial court are in Bozhou, are the officers and soldiers still far away?

"Could it be that your uncle brought people out of Bozhou?"

The owner of the horse village was a little puzzled.

Huo Bao did not answer, and asked the scout, "Is there a cavalry in the ranks?" ”

"Yes, they are all in the Chinese army, more than a hundred horsemen."

Huo Bao is not easy to judge.

The third disciple took 500 horses with him, but it is still two to say whether he can keep it when he arrives in Bozhou.

Huo Bao was strange, if Tu San really wanted to come to Chuzhou, he would always send someone to explain the situation in advance, so as not to misunderstand, after all, the army was overwhelmed, and it was unpleasant before.

As for wanting to rob Chuzhou, that's not enough.

Seven or eight thousand men are not enough to besiege the city.

"What if it's not my uncle?"

Huo Bao thought of this possibility.

The faces of the master of the horse village and Li Qianhu were solemn.

Marshal Liu's men and horses were defeated and retreated, and they should also go to Lingshui.

Excluding Marshal Liu and Tu San, it is either Marshal Sun or Marshal Feng......

Those who are destined to come are not good.

"Damn, this is when we are soft persimmons!"

The main face of the horse village was a little hideous.

Li Qianhu also expressed resentment: "Chuzhou is closer to Bozhou!" I must know that our main force is pulling out and want to pick up a bargain! ”

Although the scout brought back not good news, the three of them were much more at ease.

It's not that the imperial army is going south.

The white-shirted army, which was numbered by thousands of peasants, was no threat to Chuzhou.

The biggest fear is the unknown.

Huo Bao thought of something else.

In the history known in his previous life, Zhu Taizu once gave Chuzhou to Marshal Guo and went to Hezhou by himself.

Reflecting history, isn't this the case?

Bozhou, can't you keep it?

……

In the middle of the night, everything is quiet.

"Captain...... Wouldn't it be too presumptuous? The boy whispered.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first! We met, and this credit should be ours! Shi San's voice was weird.

"What if...... Is it friend or foe? ”

“……”

Shi San's palms were damp.

With fifty veterans and a thousand recruits, trying to ambush a team of 6,000 people is tantamount to a fool's dream.

If you want to defeat this Bozhou army with unknown intentions, you can only "capture the thief and capture the king first", there is only one chance!
