At the junction of Suide and Mizhi, a place called Xikou, the Wuding River meanders through from the north here, impacting a long river valley flatland, but the Wuding River makes a small bend here, the river valley that was originally open from forty miles has suddenly become narrow, and the Wuding River that is restrained is here, cutting the east side of the upper bi, the thick ridge beam into a straight up and down cliff, and only leaving a section of the river valley dozens of miles wide in the west. It is this section of the river valley that would be inundated by the roaring floods of the Wuding River when the rain was abundant in previous years, cutting off the communication between Mizhi and Suide.

Now, in this narrow river valley, there are several war horses walking and stopping, constantly exploring the terrain and pointing at the peaks of the Liangshan Mountains on both sides.

At the beginning, a tall and sturdy jujube red horse was holding a tall and strong man, wearing a shabby but clean official robe, a red tasseled felt hat unique to northern Shaanxi, a rough and hard face, a firm right hand holding an ash pole flower gun, and the left hand did not control the reins, just holding a beautiful horse whip, and knocked his thigh from time to time, this person was none other than Zhao Dahai, the deputy commander of the Black Tiger Army.

Behind him, a mighty and calm man who was also riding a variegated but handsome war horse was the taciturn Geng Kui, and beside them was Zhu Tie, the captain of the sixth team of the Black Tiger Army, and Wang Xin, the captain of the eighth team. There is also a Zhao Xing dressed as a scribe.

Scattered around were several guards, constantly guarding the left and right.

"This place is good, as long as we occupy the not wide valley on the west side of the Wuding River and build a strong fortress, as long as we have the existing manpower, you will not want to fight this again." Zhao Dahai looked at the terrain and admired at the same time, "This is really a good place left by God." ”

Geng Kui heard Zhao Dahai's analysis and nodded approvingly.

"The terrain is good, but this Wuding River is frozen and solid at this time, and it can also march on the ice, but it increases the difficulty of defense." Wang Xin sighed in a low voice, this is the fly in the ointment now.

"yes." Zhao Dahai took the horsewhip and weighed it a few times in his hand, looked at the dazzling ice surface of the Wuding River, and made a mistake: "It is not possible for the cavalry to pass through the ice surface of the Wuding River, but there is no difficulty for the infantry. ”

"Regardless of the way back? Then how will their grain and grass be transported? Do the officers and soldiers have the courage to do this? ”

"Haha, they are all hungry and red-eyed people, and then they are attracted by the food and silver money in our old camp in front of them, what can't they do? As long as they have the confidence to solve our old camp quickly, then where are they worried about supplies, money and food? ”

This is a big surprise to everyone, if the official army really launches a ruthless attack, directly bypasses and catches up with the old battalion, and deals with those old and weak women and children, it is really possible that such a situation will occur.

Zhu Tie suddenly said nonchalantly: "In any case, Mr. has already passed down the order, even if we fight to the point that every soldier will block the officers and soldiers for three days, and after three days, we will be considered to have completed the task, so we can only fight." ”

"My silly brother, give me all the problems." Zhao Dahai said with a smile.

"The military division made the right decision, and now it depends on how we fight. But no matter how we fight, we must complete the explanation of the military division. Geng Kui frowned.

"Captain Geng Kui is right, this task given by the military advisor is also for the overall consideration, otherwise, we may have the possibility of annihilation, and those old camps are all our parents and wives." Wang Xin whispered.

"Actually, it's easy to solve this problem." Zhao Xing took a step forward at this time and whispered.

"What's the solution? Let's hear it. Zhao Dahai asked with a smile.

"Deputy Commander." Zhao Xing first gave Zhao Dahai a salute, and then said slowly: "First, let's have a field battle with the officers and soldiers here, and we will definitely not suffer with the power of our spear array, so that the officers and soldiers will see our combat strength, and he will have to consider whether the team in front of us can quickly get the grain and grass." ”

"Yes, that's true." Zhao Dahai nodded and said: "As long as it hurts him, he won't dare to leave our more than 1,000 horses behind, in that case, he will have to consider the consequences." ”

"Also, I asked the commander and the military division to transfer the bow and arrow battalion of the Chinese army, and it is best to transfer the elm spray to the five gates, just on the newly built stockade, facing the river, to blockade and shoot, so that the two-pronged approach is to think about the consequences if the officers and soldiers want to make a desperate bet."

"Good idea, just do it, you better go back, the first former military supervisor sergeant needs you to dispatch and command, and the second is also to tell my brother what he thinks here, please transfer the bow battalion for reinforcements." Zhao Dahai stopped for a moment and made up his mind to say to Zhao Xing.

"Yes. I'm going to go. ”

"At the same time, you told the Great Commander of the Heavenly Star to ask him to urge the old battalion to speed up again, and we decided to defend it, but for three days, I really don't know anything about this, after all, it is the first time that our brothers are facing tens of thousands of regular troops of the imperial court, don't delay the big thing."

"I know, I'll go." After speaking, Zhao Xing saluted again, and then beat his horse forward to catch up with the team.

Watching Zhao Xing go away, Zhao Dahai said to Wang Xin and Zhu Tie: "Go and inform everyone not to rest, hurry up and cut down trees to build a village, right here, we and the official army are consumed." ”

"Yes." The two agreed to turn around and directed the brothers to cut wood.

At this time, a fast horse came to the dust, and immediately one of them was exhausted from running, and when he ran in front of Geng Kui, he could no longer sit still, and one stumbled on the horse's back and rolled down.

When Geng Kui saw that it was his own sergeant brother and little dog, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and picked him up, and urgently inquired about the news, and the little dog reported intermittently: "The official army has five hundred cavalry and three thousand foot soldiers, and they are chasing after it overnight, and it is expected that there is still half a day away from now, and they have not seen the brigade behind them." ”

Hearing this, Geng Kui nodded, handed over the puppy to his brothers to take to raise, stood up and stared at Zhao Dahai, his face couldn't help but be excited.

After quickly reporting the situation, Zhao Dahai sat on the horse and looked at the way from afar, and couldn't help but think surgingly, he really wanted to fight with the real officers and soldiers this time, but as long as he commanded three teams of 1,000 spearmen and 300 cavalry of his own lineage, in the face of the 4,000 officers and troops coming like a tide, could he really give the officers and soldiers a hard blow? Can it really withstand the blows of the officials and soldiers?

But thinking about the martial arts he has cultivated since he was a child, he now has to face thousands of troops, which also inspires Zhao Dahai's ambition.

Come on, just let you see the ability of the Zhao family's grandfather, I can't say it, I will become famous in one battle, and I can't say that I can't achieve eternal achievements, and at that time, hehe.

So Zhao Dahai stationed at the top of Ma Mountain and shouted at the neat gun array brothers and solemn cavalry brothers below: "Brothers, just now, just now we got a report from Geng Kuijian Sergeant Brothers, the border army is chasing after them, and there are quite a few of them, there are more than 10,000 people in total, are you afraid?" ”

This question shocked all the people at that time, the border army, that is the most powerful force group in the Ming Dynasty, 10,000 people, that is the sum of all the people in the entire cottage, I am here, 1,300 people, and I have just picked up a gun and practiced the battle formation, is that what I can contend with?

Some people began to talk to each other, some people began to look left and right, the originally firm spear formation began to waver, and even the cavalry, who had always been educated by Zhao Dahai, was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the war horses began to twist uneasily, although they didn't want to show cowardice in front of their deputy commanders, but that expression, that slight movement had already revealed their uneasiness and fear.

"I'm afraid of hanging." Zhao Dahai shouted, like a scorching thunder rolling through his ears, making everyone stunned.

"I'm afraid of hanging." Zhao Dahai shouted again: "What's wrong with his official army, isn't his official army two thighs and a head?" Isn't his official army also raised by his parents? ”

"Yes, the gun is also a hole in the piercing, and the knife is also a head to the ground, everyone is the same person, the big deal is one life to one life." Wang Xin also immediately jumped out and loudly encouraged his subordinates.

Zhao Dahai said again: "Could it be that your training in the past two months is all fancy?" No, that's a solid real kung fu, that's a real kung fu with one enemy and a hundred, is it possible that your two months of white-flour steamed buns, delicacies from the mountains and seas have been eaten to the legs and stomachs? No, it has eaten in your stomach, grown your strength, grown your spirit, and has such a foundation, you are still afraid that he will hang the official army. ”

After this pass, everyone's hands stabilized, their bodies began to stand up straight, and the war horses stopped stirring around.

"Don't say that with one enemy hundred, we have 1,300 brothers, then we can reach 100,000 officers and soldiers, now it seems that we don't need to fight one against a hundred, we only need to take out one out of ten, that is equal, then what are we afraid of him?"

Soft laughter began to appear below.

"Besides, now that we have the advantage of the terrain, we are still here to raise our spirits, waiting for those tired dogs with their tongues sticking out, what are we afraid of? Do you still have to be soft on those lost dogs? Just hit it. ”

"Yes, we can beat them all over the ground with half the strength, hahahaha." Jiang Liang, who has always been calm, also shouted and cheered easily.

"That's it, that's it."

"I've seen the border army, all of them are as hungry as lantern poles, and they are not much stronger than the homeless, what are you afraid of him?" The brothers below began to murmur quietly, and the voices grew louder and louder, and finally converged into a high fighting spirit,

"The main thing is." Zhu Tie, the captain of the seventh team, said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that behind us are tens of thousands of our fathers, elders, wives and children, and we must block the officers and soldiers here." We have no other way out. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, death-like silence, but in the silence, a spirit of death was rising.

"I know, I'll go." After speaking, Zhao Xing saluted again, and then beat his horse forward to catch up with the team.

Watching Zhao Xing go away, Zhao Dahai said to Wang Xin and Zhu Tie: "Go and inform everyone not to rest, hurry up and cut down trees to build a village, right here, we and the official army are consumed." ”
