On this day, Xu Jiajun walked about 15 miles and walked to the bottom of Fulai Mountain almost in one breath.

In the evening, the head of the house, who was in the position of the Chinese army, ordered all the troops to set up camp.

Even if he didn't have much experience in large-scale warfare, after so many years in this troubled era, Xu Mujiang knew that he couldn't let these Wubao militiamen immediately enter the siege battle after walking more than ten miles.

The troops were already showing some fatigue at this time, and they had to rest all night and attack again tomorrow.

Only Xu Shiyang's 15-tun militia still retained a considerable degree of physical strength at this time, mainly because the 15-15 tun had a similar combat experience (nearly 20 miles forward and attacked the Tartars at night), in addition, those children of the pro-soldier team objectively acted as sergeants, and they were scattered in the ranks, which was of great help to the marching discipline.

All the troops set up camp in the dock fort, saying that they were camping, but in fact they were simply resting on the ground, but each dock fort sent people out to fetch some firewood and grass, dig a big fire pond, and the militia all gathered around the fire pond to keep warm and avoid the cold, and cook by the way.

Because it was already very close to Fulai Mountain, as one of the vanguards, Xu Shiyang sent out the reconnaissance team of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to carry out a guard mission on the periphery of the camp.

These ten soldiers are well equipped, and everyone has a war bow captured from the Tartars, but only the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers can really use it, although the other 8 people practice archery when they have nothing to do, but the poor results are difficult to look at.

Now that it's time to rest, the people of the reconnaissance team don't have to be responsible for cooking, so the Xie brothers took advantage of the opportunity of the perimeter guard to let a few recruits contact archery.

"Brother, what are you using as a target here?"

Xie Zhen pointed to a low forest not far away and said, "Just shoot there." ”

Xie Bao looked up and said, "It's too far, right?" You can't shoot it with a light arrow. ”

"Then use light arrows."

The feathered arrows seized from the Tartars, regardless of the light and heavy arrows, were very valuable, and they usually used their own sharpened bone arrows for training, and no one was willing to use the iron arrows in the arrows.

But now the situation is special, there will be a war tomorrow, and the words grinding the gun in battle, Xie Bao can't write but understands.

"Heavy arrows shoot directly, those soldiers can't be trained now. Widen the distance and shoot with light arrows, I think I can make do with it, and tomorrow, we will shoot the light arrows from a distance, and then regardless of the miss, just follow the large army to charge. Xie Bao explained: "Today, each soldier shoots two arrows, and it is good to practice his hands. ”

Xie Bao's plan is as simple as that, since the soldiers can't play direct shooting, then simply don't shoot well, just shoot a few times with light arrows to cover it.

In the matter of heavy arrows shooting directly at the cover, the two brothers can come by themselves.

"Well, okay, that's it!"

Xie Zhen also probably understood his brother's plan, and he immediately ran and gathered all 8 subordinates, preparing to take advantage of this time to contact the light arrow shooting.

The 8 reconnaissance team recruits quickly gathered together, these people are relatively strong compared to the other militias, and the heavy ten-force battle bow of the Tartar can be stretched out for most of it, just don't expect to shoot accurately.

Boom, a soft sound of bowstring flicking, 8 sharp-headed light arrows flew into the sky quickly, and after rising to the highest point, under the control of gravity, these light arrows began to fall, and a moment later, with a few soft bangs, the arrows fell to the ground.

As an old hunter, Xie Zhen had a good look, he took advantage of the moonlight to take a look, only 1 light arrow was stuck in the trunk of the low tree as the target, and some fell to the ground, and a few simply didn't know where to fly.

He shook his head in disappointment, with this achievement, if these soldiers were allowed to hunt with bows and arrows, they would not be able to hunt anything.

"Brother, this won't work at all."

"Shoot another round and see." Xie Bao said indifferently: "Anyway, we can take back the arrows later, tomorrow we will shoot at most 5 or 6 arrows, and the rest will be enough." ”

As for the grades, that's normal now.

Normal people don't have a year and a half, and they don't want to learn archery at all.

"Okay!" Xie Bao shouted: "Brothers, shoot one more round!" Don't be too troublesome, if you shoot accurately, we'll die one less tomorrow! ”

A few of the new scouts muttered dissatisfiedly, others were resting, but they still had to work hard to practice archery, and now they could smell the aroma of food, okay?

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

But the two captains were in a hurry, and they even said that they were not allowed to eat until they finished this round, and they couldn't disobey as small soldiers, otherwise they would go to Xu Shiyang, and they wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

A few creeps each picked up a sharp arrow, pulled their bows hard, and pointed at the grove 50 paces away.

There was another soft sound, and the feather arrow flew out.

The scouts breathed a sigh of relief, and regardless of their grades, they turned around and wanted to get their meal.

"Wait!" Xie Zhen suddenly shouted: "What's that?" Something rushed out! ”

"That's bandits!" Xie Bao reacted a little faster than his younger brother: "Whistle!" Whistle the whistle! Enemy attack! ”

In fact, there is no need to blow the whistle, because the attacking bandits can't help but start howling: "Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill the Xu family dog thief! Go back and sleep with the little lady! ”

……

Fulai Mountain is the second master, and Liu Gao, a former Great Zhou officer, is now very! Very! Very annoying!

This morning, when the Xu Jiajun crossed Juzhou City and marched towards Fulai Mountain, they had already received the news.

At this point, whether it is fighting or defending, several shopkeepers must come up with a charter as soon as possible, otherwise, when the Xu family's army comes up the mountain, if the leaders don't even have a battle plan, it will be funny.

In the end, under the pressure of Yanshun Wang Ying, Liu Gao and Luo Daoren, the two shopkeepers, had to make some compromises - the four leaders agreed that each of them would come out with some old bandits and go down the mountain tonight, and attack at night while the Xu family army was resting.

According to Liu Gao's own words, each of the former Great Zhou officers and soldiers under his command can fight 5 militias of the Xu family, and the old bandits under several other leaders can also fight 2 or 3.

In this way, tonight, Liu Gao led 200 old bandits, Yanshun Wang Ying led 300 old bandits, everyone attacked from both sides, and attacked at night together, at least 5 dock forts of the Xu family could be defeated.

Then they each went home to defend, and several cottages watched each other for the horns, and they should all be able to defend it.

Yanshun Wang Ying didn't really want to surrender, after all, the Xu family killed Zheng Tianshou, and it didn't necessarily end up well in the hands of others.

Now that they had a new plan that was acceptable, they agreed to it.

So, at noon, the three leaders picked out the old bandits under their hands, and Luo Daoren also gritted their teeth, killed a few fat pigs, and the old bandits had a big meal, and then ambushed in this small forest, waiting for the Xu family army to pass by.

At the beginning, the situation was not bad, the Xu family really had no experience in battle formations, and before setting up camp, they didn't even send scouts to scout the woods fifty steps away.

Liu Gao thought that today's matter had already been completed, and he even felt that this time he might be able to directly hit the Xu family's army to bomb the camp.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the Xu Jiajun settled down, someone actually took out a war bow and threw a sharp arrow at the place where they were hiding!
