The third day of November

Xu Shiyang personally led the team, and the "army" of 270 people in 15 tuns went to 1 tun to join the other troops of the Xu family.

At this time, he was riding on a Tartar horse, wearing a bright silver iron armor of the Jurchen Mouk level; There is a tiger tooth knife hanging from his waist; On the saddle was a pair of Tartar warbows, a pair of arrows, which contained 10 heavy arrows and 10 light arrows, in addition to a saber and a round shield.

This is not a simple wooden shield for the militia, but a real shield reinforced with iron bars on the back and covered with two layers of cowhide on the front.

This dazzling set of equipment, coupled with Xu Shiyang's burly figure, can get an "elite" evaluation in the hands of any group of forces in this world.

As expected, as soon as his equipment appeared, it attracted great attention from the other dock militia gathered near 1 Tun.

"Who is this man?" A young burgher asked.

"The castle master of our fifteenth tun, Lord Xu Shiyang Xu!" An old fort resident who had seen Xu Shiyang in 2 Tun praised it: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being a Juzhou tiger who can kill Tartar!" Looking at it like this, you can see that there is definitely the courage of ten thousand people! ”

It sounds like the old burghers have read some books.

"Wow...... that's amazing!"

The crowd burst into exclamations of envy, surprise, delight, and other emotions.

"Haha, third brother, so majestic!" Xu Shisong stood in front of the gate of the ancestral hall and laughed loudly: "You are in iron armor, I'm afraid that if you stand there and let the bandits fight, they won't be able to beat it!" ”

"If the eldest brother likes it, when the next time the Tartar comes again, the younger brother will grab another pair and give it to you!"

"Hahaha, that's not right, next time the third brother goes to fight the Tartars again, remember to call him brother, and I'll grab a pair by myself when the time comes!"

Xu Shiyang's equipment, really envious of Xu Shisong, on the small square in front of the ancestral hall, nearly 4,000 militiamen from 15 dock forts were looking at the two of them, which made him suddenly feel a sense of pride, as if the Tartars were indeed not so terrible, and their equipment, if they wanted it, was also handy.

"Okay, that's it!" Xu Shiyang likes to listen to this kind of rhetoric, and he doesn't care if the other party is talking big or not, he just agrees: "Next time the Tartars come again, our brothers will kill the enemy together and serve the country!" ”

……

This time, the Xu family can be said to have dispatched a nest, and there were more than 3,900 people in 15 dock forts, which was hundreds more than Xu Shiyang expected.

There were hundreds of horses and mules brought out by the various docks and forts to transport grain and grass.

The Han people dispatched such an army, I am afraid that it is the first time in the land of Qi Province since the establishment of Xingxing.

There were not so many spare houses in 1 Tun, so the militia from other dock forts could only rest around the earthen wall of 1 Tun, but fortunately, everyone had the experience of sleeping outside, and 1 Tun provided plenty of firewood and grass.

Drink a bowl of corn porridge with a little salt and wild vegetables, light a bonfire, and spread a thick layer of hay on the ground, on which people sleep very comfortably.

At this time, naturally, there will be no blinding beasts attacking a team of thousands of people, so safety is still guaranteed.

There was a place for Xu Shiyang to stay in the first tun, but this time, he did not live in it, but chose to camp with the militia of the fifteenth tun.

In the military history of mankind, most of the time, officers will be special in terms of living treatment, and even in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, this is a matter of course.

However, there are only a few special examples of the equality of officers and soldiers, and each of them has been able to exert a powerful combat effectiveness that is beyond direct sight.

Xu Shiyang is now unable to provide the troops with sophisticated equipment, perfect training, and sufficient supplies, so he can only make up for this kind of marginal problem.

At dinner in the evening, he sat by a campfire and told stories to a large group of militiamen.

Of course, it's not a thing like Snow White to coax girls, but a meat joke based on system technology, adapted by Xu Shiyang, and generally in line with the style of this era.

Everyone was a layman, and a group of militiamen were quickly amused, and even some people's stomachs hurt when they laughed.

In the end, Xu Shiyang was surrounded by hundreds of people, and he doubted that the guys behind him could hear what he was saying.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Shiyang began to quietly insert YY clips in the meat jokes, which were basically small stories that mocked Tartars, based on a certain point in another world.

What is the Han family is invincible in the world, the beautiful little Tartar girl is scrambling to throw herself into her arms, and then come to a 404 clip of how the Han man and the Tartar woman are Dunlun, and some seasonings such as mother and daughter and sisters will be added during the period.

Xu Shiyang spoke for more than half an hour in one breath, and the male soldiers were enthusiastic, and many people had even begun to imagine when they could go to the territory of the Tartars to see if those Tartar mothers-in-law were really so "enthusiastic".

Of course, this kind of emotion can't last long, and they will still have weak legs and tremble when they encounter Tartar soldiers, but Xu Shiyang's purpose is only to plant a seed for them, he is still young, and he has enough time to wait for the seed to take root and sprout.

"Okay, there will be a pledge meeting tomorrow, and then we will send troops, let's go back and rest early!"

Xu Shiyang decisively ended this midnight story meeting and said loudly to the militiamen:

"If you want to hear it, wait until we take down Fulai Mountain, and Lao Tzu will tell you about it."

When everyone dispersed, he quietly instructed the children of the pro-soldier team: "Give the medical team a double post tonight, whoever dares to cross the line will be cut directly!" ”

"Yes." The honest Xu Da replied seriously.

……

In this day and age, information travels slowly.

On the Jiangbei side in particular, the main exchange between the inland docks and forts is based almost entirely on the annual fair.

Therefore, the previous masters of Fulai Mountain only knew that the raid of the Tartars ended very early this year, but as for the reason, they did not know.

When the Xu family's bazaar also ended in a hurry, a lot of news poured up the Fulai Mountain through other dock forts or cottages, and several masters learned that it was the Xu family who repelled the Tartars.

At the same time, the three shopkeepers of their own family went down the mountain to change salt, and the news that they were cut down by the Xu family also followed the mountain.

A few days later, the Xu family was assembling their team, and the news that they were obviously preparing to take action also came.

"This Xu family is going to turn against us!"

The four leaders, Yan Shun, stood in the center of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Dinglin Temple and shouted:

"They killed the third child! This is another attack on the mountain gate! We can't bear it! ”

"Fourth brother is right!" The short and fat Wang Ying also jumped out: "This Xu family is bullying me to come to the top of the mountain, if you don't beat them back, how will the dock fort under the mountain look at our brothers in the future?" I'm afraid that none of them will hand over their food jackets on time! ”

Yan Shun, Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou, whose head was hanging on the wall of Xujiawu Fort, fell into the grass together, and the relationship between them was much closer than that of the other two leaders, so the two of them also wanted to take revenge on the Xu family's Fulai Mountain shopkeeper the most.
