At the boundary of Shangming County, Zhou Faming led several domestic servants to escort a carriage on the official road to the southeast direction of Yongyang, and a group of barbarians chased after him.

Zhou Faming is the third in the family of the younger brother of Zhou Fashang, the former Shunzhou assassin, and the second brother Zhou Fashang was transferred to the Huangzhou Governor's Office a month ago, and after settling in Huangzhou half a month ago, he asked his younger brother who stayed in Shunzhou to escort his mother to move over.

After receiving the letter, Zhou Faming took a hundred servants to escort his mother and set off from Shunzhou in a carriage through Yingzhou in the southeast to Anlu.

Fortunately, the other party was only a few small troops, Zhou Faming fought and retreated after breaking through, and now there are about a dozen people left around him, the road is rugged, the carriage can't go fast, and the barbarians are still following closely on foot.

"I knew that I should have gone south to Suizhou." Zhou Faming was a little annoyed, but there was no regret medicine in the world, and there were no decent cities for at least twenty miles ahead, and just some villages were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the impact of the barbarians.

In addition to the carriage, they are all on foot, the horses and other carriages have been lost in the previous few breakouts, and even the arrows have been shot, Ba Man has lived in the mountains for many years, walking on the mountain road like walking on the ground, this foot strength is not comparable to them, and if they continue to chase like this, I am afraid that it will be over before they reach Yingzhou.

On both sides of the road, there are shadows of mountains and forests, and the wind blows over, and some plants and trees look like soldiers, if it weren't for the barbarians behind him, Zhou Faming would like to lead the group to hide in the mountains and forests, and wait for the wind to pass before coming out.

As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, the carriage bumped for a few days, and finally couldn't support a wheel break, Zhou Faming was so anxious that he sweated profusely, and helped his mother up and let a few capable servants protect him and run quickly, he turned around and pulled out his knife and shouted, leading the rest of the servants to meet the barbarians, trying to buy time.

I thought I could protect my mother, but I never thought that I would be trapped here, so I just died in battle!

Just as he was about to moths to the fire, suddenly there was a loud sound of breaking the air on both sides of the road, and many feathered arrows came and shot the brutes to the ground, and some of them were cut down with long knives by the soldiers who rushed out later.

In the blink of an eye, more than forty chasing soldiers were wiped out, and Zhou Faming, who was immortal, looked at the soldiers who suddenly appeared from both sides of the road gratefully, and after a while, he came back to his senses and hurriedly ran to his mother to check the situation.

"Be careful, don't give a sneak attack to the Barbarians!" Several teams were commanding the soldiers to be on guard, but Zhou Faming looked around and saw that the group of soldiers were all wearing armor and were in good spirits, and they kept laughing with each other:

"Li Da Vat what are you proud of! If you have the ability, hold a bow and shoot arrows on the battlefield, don't let the arrows go when you arrive, and you will be blinded by the wind! ”

"Gotta bear lord, your building moves so slowly, even if you grab, you can't grab a mouthful of hot!"

Zhou Faming looked along the winding official road, and many soldiers, carriages, and wheelbarrows appeared to come here, and several of them dressed as generals were riding horses and walking in front of the team.

"In the next week, Fa Ming, who will step down as the Shunzhou assassin Zhou Fa Shang as his brother, I don't know who your army is?" Zhou Faming saw the other party approaching, and hurriedly greeted him, introduced himself, and inquired about the way by the way.

When one of the first threw the whip and got off the horse, he stepped forward and saluted back, and introduced himself, saying that it was Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, and he trained the recruits to march so far, and when he saw a barbarian soldier coming, he set up an ambush.

Zhou Faming nodded and said yes, the Barbarians have besieged Shunzhou, there are many people, please be cautious, besides, the mountain roads are rugged, and I don't know how many ambushes the barbarians have set up along the way

"Bengong led the army all the way to support Shunzhou." Yu Wenwen directly stated that he intended not to have any unrealistic expectations from the other party, and he talked with Zhou Faming for a while, and roughly explained the current situation.

They assisted the Assassin Shi in defeating the 5,000 people who attacked the Barbarians in Yongyang, Yingzhou Prefecture, and then marched to the northwest with the intention of supporting Tuzhou, and by the way, they helped the counties along the road to repel the barbarian soldiers, and the Tuzhou Assassin Shi had already repelled the barbarians, so they continued to Shunzhou.

As of today, it is the third day, and the small group of brutes who have come all the way have been cleared.

More than 2,000 people were nervous, and they couldn't divide their troops to send Zhou Langjun and a few people to Yongyang, Yingzhou, and there were more people to send them, and it was better not to send them if they were less on their side, Yuwen Wen was clever and tried to persuade Zhou Langjun and his mother and others to act with him.

Zhou Faming was entangled for a while, discussed with his mother for a while, and decided to go with the army, there were only a few people left on his side, and if he met even a small group of brute soldiers on the road alone, the game would be over.

Yuwen Wen was a little excited when he saw that the other party had made a decision, because he felt that this meeting would definitely trigger some hidden mission.

This Zhou Faming is not a simple character, and his second brother Zhou Fashang has two brushes, and he is a historical figure who is named in the history books.

Zhou Fashang, three generations of ancestors and grandchildren are generals of the Southern Dynasty are quite capable of fighting, two years ago Zhou Fashang was framed for rebellion, cornered, took his stepmother and younger brother to cross the river to the north and defected to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was appointed as the Shunzhou Assassin History, in the original history Yang Jian to the Sui Dynasty Zhou after Zhou Fashang was reused.

He successively served as the governor of Bazhou and Huangzhou, and the prince of Fengqiao County passed through Jiangnan when he destroyed Chen in Sui, and after destroying Chen, he pacified many barbarians in Lingnan and became a chaotic official to the general of Wuwei.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, his son Zhou Shaofan, as the leader of the forbidden army in the palace, responded to the Xuanwumen Revolution launched by Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Zhou Faming, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, occupied Huangzhou to observe the changes in the situation, and later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was named the governor of Huangzhou, and was accidentally assassinated and killed during a counterinsurgency.

This is not the point, Zhou Faming and his brother have lived in Shunzhou for two years, and they should know the surrounding terrain very well, and Yuwenwen needs him to 'lead the way' if he wants to 'surprise attack' the Baman in Shunzhou.

On that day, Yuwen Wen in Yongyang City insisted on supporting Shunzhou despite the retention of Yingzhou's assassin history, and found a few officials who were familiar with the terrain as guides from the other party, and marched to the northwest along the official road non-stop.

If the action is not fast, it will not work, in case you are late and the person sent by the old man will call you back to Anzhou, then how to brush the copy! ……

"Raid?"

Zhou Faming raised his eyebrows after hearing Yuwenwen's intentions, and the other party inquired with him about the surrounding terrain of Shunzhou Prefecture and Yingcheng, saying that if the time was right, he planned to sneak attack the Barbarian army besieging Yingcheng.

Regarding this kind of thought, Zhou Faming felt that if he was the leader of the troops, he would definitely go to the sneak attack with the soldiers he had trained, because those barbarians were just a bunch of garbage, but they were just a large number, but if it was a group of soldiers under Yu Wenwen, it would not work.

Because he felt that these soldiers were no better than garbage, he kept slandering.

What 'Ruishi' phalanx, what step to ride, what super long spear no one can get close to, and ridiculous spear advancement, this Xiyang County Gong is not a flying eagle lackey, thinking that the war is a joke?

Don't dare to fight hand-to-hand combat, delusional thinking that you can win a battle by stabbing you with a broken gun from afar, which bastard taught you? Why doesn't your father care about training like this?

Zhou Faming's grandfather Zhou Lingqi was the general of the Southern Dynasty Liang, and his father Zhou Jiong went through the Liang and Chen dynasties, and now the six states of Jiangbei under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou Governor's Office were his father from the Northern Qi Dynasty and incorporated into the territory of the Chen State, and then more than a year ago to the Great Zhou Anzhou Governor Yu Wenliang to capture.

He just didn't take a breath of relief: If my father hadn't died of illness at that time, how could your father take the six states of Jiangbei so easily!

Zhou Faming has the arrogance of being born in the general, his mother is the princess of Chen Gaozu, and she is the continuation of the Zhou family, so he and the eldest brother and the second brother are half-brothers. But he admires his second brother Zhou Fashang very much.

Zhou Fashang grew up with his father in the southern and northern wars, after Zhou Jiong's death, Zhou Fashang inherited all the private soldiers of the Zhou family, two years ago by Changsha King Chen Shujian framed the rebellion against the imperial court, and immediately started to arrest the Zhou family's eldest monk Zhou.

Zhou Fa was helpless, took his stepmother and younger brother across the river to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Chen Guo chased the soldiers and chased them at the end of the rank, and as a result, Zhou Fa Shang beat it to the ground with a little trick and captured thousands of people, and now Zhou Faming hates that the second brother left office a month earlier, otherwise the Zhou family's troops are in Shunzhou, and even if 20,000 people come, it will not be a problem.

The three generations of the Zhou family are all veterans of a hundred battles, how can they be compared to these things under your Xiyang County Gong?

What kind of raid, isn't it a night raid, how many of your soldiers can walk at night? Don't want your own people to cut it up and be Amitabha!

Zhou Faming was slandered, but he didn't show it on his face, he was nineteen years old this year, and he was no longer a child, and it was impossible to let his thoughts be revealed on his face.

However, the 'actual age' is twenty-four, no, it is twenty-five-year-old Yu Wenwen has already seen through what this kid is thinking, seeing that the other party does not think that the raid can be successful, he does not argue, although Zhou Faming questioned the combat effectiveness of his recruits, he still told him in detail about the terrain near Yingcheng.

Yuwen Wen and his subordinates felt that there was a play, Tongbai Mountain, the Ba Man, the gang of fish belly with many people, besieged the city at once, and they would definitely have to camp, as the so-called soldiers and nobles besieged Shunzhou quickly, it was impossible for the Ba Man, who knew that Yingzhou's side was defeated, and he might not be wary of the sudden appearance of reinforcements.

Your own side will be able to take Ba Man by surprise if you hurry up and march, and if you come to a night attack, you will be a god!

Night marching is also a subject for Yuwenwen to train recruits, but the first problem he encounters is night blindness.

Night blindness is commonly known as 'blindfolding', and there is a modern saying that the ancient common people were poor, malnourished, and could not afford to eat all kinds of animal livers, resulting in a serious deficiency of vitamin A, and most of them suffered from night blindness, so most of the ancient large-scale night raids in history were fake.

This view holds that those who can carry out night raids are basically pro-army, elite troops and family members who have been fed and fed well for a long time, and only if they are not short of nutrition will they not suffer from night blindness, so night raids can only be carried out by small-scale elite troops.

However, Yu Wenwen found that among the soldiers he recruited, there were many people who ate wild vegetables on weekdays but did not suffer from night blindness.

However, Yu Wenwen, who likes to burn money, doesn't care so much, as long as he can buy eggs and animal liver, he will add vegetables for these rice buckets to eat, but the night blindness is gone, but the night march is still stressful.

Because the night march is really too difficult to command, and if a hundred people are released and then taken back, God knows how many can be recovered, so Yu Wenwen found that the biggest problem of night raids is not night blindness, but large-scale night raids, which are inconvenient to command, and can only be carried out by elite squads.

So is the size of 2,500 people an elite squad? Yu Wenwen used various training methods that are not suitable for children to turn the answer to this question into no doubt.

Seeing that the other party and a group of people didn't know the severity and really wanted to plan a night attack, Zhou Faming couldn't help but feel anxious: If they want to send them to death, they can only follow the army, but what if this group of birdmen plays a night attack and the whole army is wiped out?

I'll stay and watch you die, so I'll give me a few horses and let me arrange for my servants to escort my mother and run away!"

"Want a horse to run? If you want it, you can pull it! Yuwen fifteen decided that this guy was afraid of death and didn't dare to act with the army, but wanted to take his mother to slip away, "When you arrive at Anlu, you will say that this horse is picked up, don't say that you have seen me!" ”

Zhou Faming heard that blood was pouring out of his head, and he felt that being looked down upon by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old bastard would damage the name of the Zhou family: "I never said that I would escape from the battle!" ”

"I'm waiting for the night attack, but Zhou Langjun who is going to die has enough heads to cut off?" Yuwen Fifteen's mouth cannon is more and more like Lang Lord Yuwen Wen.

"Give the next horse a piece of armor and a weapon!" Nineteen-year-old Zhou Faming was successfully ignited by Yuwen Fifteen, who was a few years younger than him, with the method of agitation!
