Chapter 118: It's hard to determine what is true and what is false

、、、、、、、

(As the old rule goes, this Monday, ask the brothers for some red tickets!) Brothers don't hesitate to support! )

Xiao Tianjian also saw it really in the army, after seeing the cavalry of this group of officers and soldiers running over, he saw them from a distance and stopped the war horses, and after looking at them, he turned around and left, and knew that the appearance of his Xingtian Army still frightened this group of officers and cavalry.

So he pointed at the retreating officers and cavalry with a horsewhip in his hand and smiled at his subordinates: "Ridiculous, these bastards, when they see us, they are so scared that they almost pee their pants!" All right! The big guys are resting on the spot, too! Waiting for their main force to come! If they don't dare to come, it's nothing, let's take this area as well, and see what the government can do! ”

"Sit ......" After Xiao Tianjian's military order was issued, the officers' orders sounded in the army, only to listen to the hula, all the soldiers immediately sat on the ground, the enemy has not yet come, standing will only consume physical strength, so it is better for them to accumulate physical strength at this time.

The hunters in the bow team next to them were quite nervous when they saw the official cavalry coming, and they all pulled out arrows from their quivers, put them on the bowstring, and were ready to launch, after all, they usually hunt, and they hunted some birds and beasts, and today they went into battle for the first time, facing the official army, few people did not feel nervous, and they were a little bottomless in their hearts, and they didn't know if they could go home alive today.

But when they saw the generals of the Xingtian Army Warriors team calmly forming a formation one by one, carrying out the orders issued by Shangfeng without any disorder, as if they were all right, few people showed too nervous expressions at all, so these hunters had some bottom in their hearts, and they began to feel a lot more relieved, and sighed to each other that the Xingtian Army was really powerful, and they didn't take the officials and soldiers in their eyes at all.

"What is this? Tell you! When our general took us in Longzhou, Shaanxi, he faced He Renlong, who was known as He Renlong, a madman, have you heard of He Renlong? In the early years, it is said that he also suppressed the rebels in your Shanxi area! Whoever mentions it, he is not afraid! Our general was stunned to take us, beat the surnamed He all over the ground to find teeth, and finally even his nephew was captured alive!

Isn't it just that some officers and soldiers are here this time? They're counting! Don't be afraid, with our general here, we will definitely not suffer a loss! If you make a battle this time, the general will definitely not hesitate to reward you, and promise that you will not suffer! Okay, the general has an order to rest on the spot, it's all there, listen to my orders, sit down on the spot! Wang Hao, as the chief general of the archers who was temporarily assigned to lead the organization of this group of hunters, boasted to the group of hunters under his command with a big grin, and at the same time paid attention to the Lingqi and the sound of the horn in the main array, and when he saw the Lingqi order, he rested on the spot, so he shouted loudly.

After hearing this, the tension of the hunters subsided a lot, and they all sat down with a smile, put the hunting bow beside them, and began to chat with each other.

Niu Tai was leading the team to march slowly forward, when he saw a sentry horse galloping from the official road, and when he raised his eyes, he knew that Wang Youtian had led his troops back, so he ordered to stop the advance and rest on the spot, and ordered Wang Youtian to come and see him.

Wang Youtian rode his horse to Niu Tai, turned over and rolled the saddle, got off the horse, knelt on one leg in front of Niu Tai, and said loudly: "See the guerrilla lord, see the lord Wang!" ”

Eunuch Wang glanced at this Wang Youtian lightly, didn't pay attention to him, the shelf was sufficient, and he didn't take an officer like Wang Youtian in his eyes at all.

Wang Youtian couldn't help but secretly curse the thief eunuch, but his face did not dare to show his dissatisfaction with the eunuch Wang, but Niu Tai waved his horsewhip and said: "Wang Qian has worked hard, can you find out the news of the thief army?" ”

"The two lords of Qiqi, they are fortunate to not be dishonored, and they have already encountered that thief army! The thief army is now stationed five miles ahead, and has already lined up in battle, waiting for us to pass!

But according to what I have seen, I'm afraid that this thief army will not come well this time! The thief army has as many as 2,000 people, and it is very strong, and the military appearance is very strong, which is by no means comparable to the ordinary poles we have encountered before! The other party obviously wants to stop us from going to the boundary of Yangcheng here, and it is clear that they want to fight us to the death here! Please decide! Wang Youtian didn't exaggerate, and said to Niu Tai truthfully.

Niu Tai couldn't help but get nervous after hearing this, and was about to gather his subordinates to discuss the matter to see what to do next, whether to stop and think about how to deal with this thief army.

But the eunuch surnamed Wang, who didn't speak at first, snorted coldly from his nose: "Hmph! I think you must be exaggerating, a mere chaotic thief who is not in the climate is actually said to be at the peak of the military in your mouth, quite powerful! It's not that our family hasn't seen a thief army, but it's just a rabble! Where is it so powerful as you say? Even the Gao Yingxiang who is making a lot of trouble now, although he has tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is said that there are only two or three thousand people who can really fight, and a thief army entrenched in the small Yangcheng County here has two thousand elite soldiers. Is Wang Qian always afraid of war? That's why the thief army is so powerful? ”

Wang Youtian was so angry after hearing this! It is said that he was very dissatisfied with the eunuch who sent him here as a supervisor this time, and felt that it was better to stay in the capital, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to come out to make some credit, and then find a way to return to Beijing.

So this guy came out this time, and he couldn't get along with them along the way, either because they were walking slowly, or because they were afraid of war, and now he reported it according to the truth, and as a result, he was deducted by this guy with a reputation for being afraid of war, if he was targeted by the eunuch surnamed Wang this time, and turned back to give him a heavy stroke in the war report, then he Wang Youtian would be regarded as having poured blood mold for eight lifetimes.

The green muscles on Wang Youtian's head jumped, and he quickly explained: "Lord Wang, don't dare to be lowly in your position, what you say is true, if you don't believe it, Lord Wang can go with the army in person to see if you are lying!" ”

This Wang Jianjun glared, and immediately shouted at Wang Youtian with his male duck throat: "Don't you think our family dare to go?" ……”

"Lord Wang, please stop your anger! Mr. Wang Qian, how many people are there in the total strength of the thief army? This Niu Tai saw that Wang Jianjun seemed to be angry, and it was clear that he was about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him, and at the same time asked this Wang Youtian again.

Although Wang Youtian was not convinced in his heart, he didn't dare to contradict this Wang Jian army, so he had to swallow his anger and laugh and said: "Back to the guerrilla lord, the strength of the thief army is about 2,000 people!" Except for less than 20% of the displaced people who seem to be coerced, the rest are basically soldiers, which is not quite right! ”

Niu Tai pondered in his heart, two thousand thieves, the number is indeed a lot, but he is also skeptical about Wang Youtian's statement that the other party is an elite soldier, he has been in contact with large and small poles over the years, and he has not seen the quality of the poles, like about two thousand thieves, among them, it is good to have a soldier who has been on the battlefield and has a little ability, and most of the rest are some mud legs, even if this Xingtian army is slightly better, at most there can be four or five hundred warriors, which is considered good, And Wang Youtian said that he only had 20% of the auxiliary soldiers under his command, and the rest were soldiers, which was obviously unreasonable.

However, since Wang Youtian said so, it is not clear that Wang Youtian is a little afraid of war, so he exaggerated it, but for the number of enemy troops, Wang Youtian should still not make false reports, two thousand thief soldiers, and the four thousand officers and soldiers under his command and Xiang Yong, obviously he still has a numerical advantage, and after all, he still has two thousand people who are serious officers and soldiers, even if they are not good, they cannot be worse than the thief army! So this battle can still be fought!

Moreover, the place Wang Tianyou said is a relatively flat place in this area, and it is not easy to set up an ambush, but the thief army is here to set up an array and block his way, so he at least does not have to be afraid of being ambushed by the thief army, so if this battle is fought, he still has a good chance of winning.

There are two sides to everything, although this thief army is a little abnormal, but it is also good to do so, if this battle is here he will lead his troops to defeat this thief army, then then enter the Yangcheng boundary to sweep the thief army, it will be much smoother, it is better than when this group of thieves retreats in the cottage, according to the cottage does not come out, then he will have to take a strong attack to solve them, if that is the case, the south of Yangcheng is deep in the mountains and forests, this battle is really not necessarily easy to fight.

So after Niu Tai thought about it slightly, he made up his mind to go to meet this thief army, after all, now only based on Wang Youtian's words, he will not move forward, not to mention whether it will fall his prestige, at least it will make this Wang Jian Jun laugh at him, and it is indispensable to use this as an excuse in the future to report it is not conducive to his future promotion.

So he immediately ordered: "Wang Qian, always go down first!" I want to see what kind of ambition this thief army has eaten, and it is so arrogant that it dares to come and take the initiative to meet us! And give the order to go down and speed up the march, so that the brethren can give me a fucking cheer! ”

Wang Jianjun was a little satisfied, and didn't say anything more, and Wang Youtian immediately retreated, returned to his own headquarters, opened the way in front, and kept cursing and grinning in his mouth, secretly cursing this Wang Jianjun not to die well.

So under Niu Tai's urging, the official army finally sped up and rushed towards the location of the Xingtian Army.
