Please enter the text. Gongzhou Mansion Xiaojiaji, put ten years ago, is actually an insignificant small village, there are more than 20 households in the village, the scale of 100 people, by hunting for a living, and planting some cheap crops, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, is a common small village in the mountains of Shuzhong.

If the people in the village want to buy something, they have to go over the mountains and mountains, catch up with dozens of miles of mountain roads, and go to Lewen County to buy it.

But since the Mongols entered the Kou, the situation here has changed, when the situation is at its most tense, the sound of the Mongols' horses' hooves has appeared under the city wall of Lewen County, and the county commander who defends the city can even see the reflection of the blades of the fierce Mongolian iron horsemen, they gallop arrogantly on the field, laughing uncontrollably, so that the people in the city are terrified.

And Lewen County, only one hundred and eighty miles away from Gongzhou Mansion, the people of Pingtou have long been frightened by the rumors of the Mongols' barbaric massacre, and heard that the Mongols broke the city like kicking the door, and the Song army's defense often could not last a day, which was even more terrifying.

So many people helped the old and the young to drag their children and fled into the mountains.

Xiao Jiaji was developed at this time, although the village is small, but it is better than the remote terrain, and it is not easy for Mongolians to find it. The village is built in a valley, and there is only one entrance, which can be foolproof if blocked, so the first choice for many people to flee is Xiaojiaji.

Ten years have passed, the iron has been fought in the north, and the war has not changed. Although Gongzhou is located in Dongchuan, it is still inevitably disturbed by stragglers, more and more people flee into Xiao's house, and they dare not go back when they come, and they choose a place to build a house to live in.

The surrounding wasteland has been reclaimed into fertile land, trees have been cut down to become materials for houses, chickens and dogs smell each other, cooking smoke curls up, and the population has slowly grown, until now, it has become a large village with a population of 200 households and nearly 1,000 people.

This scale is more than some of the counties in Xichuan that have been poisoned, and because the geography here is indeed excellent, Gongzhou Mansion simply built roads and built a village here, and operated it as a mountain in Lewen County, in case of emergency, Lewen County can move the Yamen of the whole county to Xiaojiaji.

It stands to reason that in such a large village, ordinary bandits would not dare to start.

I was also forced to be in a hurry.

In the winter of Bashu, outsiders don't know much, the cold here is the clammy cold that penetrates the bones, and the wet cold can penetrate the leather jacket that is thickly wrapped around your body, and drill into your bones, if you don't burn a fire, you can't sleep at night.

If you happen to have nothing to eat, and you are cold and hungry, you will die.

Of course, the murderers who fell into the grass were unwilling to die like this, they had knives in their hands, and they relied on robbing.

For example, the group of people who are now setting fire to the Xiao family market.

They are grass robbers on the mountains of Qujiang County, close to the Guang'an Army, there are thousands of people, the composition is complex, there are scattered remnants, there are Jiangyang thieves, there are prisoners with tattoos on their faces, all kinds of things, they are all some guys who can't see the light and are not recruited by the army.

Their territory is only in the Guang'an Army, where the official and military forces are weak, and Wang Kui has not had time to go to suppress, which is a good place to be free.

But the land is so small, and there are many thieves, so it is not easy to manage.

This gang of grass robbers robbed all the places that could be grabbed in the townships near the Guang'an Army, and the bricks and tiles were ruined, and the Mongols had ploughed countless times, and there was not much left for them. I didn't find much food and goods for the winter this winter, there were some in the Guang'an military city, but there were many high-ranking soldiers there, and they didn't dare to go.

Seeing that winter is approaching day by day, if there is not enough food before the first snow falls, the gang will break up after infighting.

The head of the family gritted his teeth, and in desperation, he had no choice but to take risks, take a long walk, and try his luck in Gongzhou Mansion.

Therefore, the Mongols have harmed people a lot, not only the common people, but also the bandits.

Their preferred target is Xiao Jiaji, which is relatively close, and there are many people and food, so they have everything to grab.

The bandits moved quickly, blocking the only road leading to the outside of Xiao Jiaji, and no one was released. They knew that if they were close to the big city, they would sooner or later attract officials and soldiers, and the bandits were also seeking money, and they didn't want to fight with the officials and soldiers.

But they forgot that the Sichuan Envoy had already expected this, and the world was uneasy, so they took precautions as soon as possible. In addition to learning Dali and establishing a comprehensive armor protection system, they also established a set of effective information transmission methods, which is Fenghuo.

So as soon as the bandits came, the principal of Xiao Jiaji fled with the people into the earthen fortress built on a high place, formed a soldier according to the armor, and defended according to the danger, and at the same time lit a beacon fire, and the thick black smoke went straight into the sky, and even Lewen County, dozens of miles away, could be seen.

So the eldest grandson Hong came.

So Liu Cheng and others witnessed the most brutal and almost one-sided massacre in their lives so far.

"The ghost pawns line up and tie up the pass." In the wind and rain, Changsun Hong, who was standing in front, observed the terrain and gave orders: "A hundred people on horseback go in to drive the sheep, and the rest of the people, fortify on both sides, don't run away from a thief!" ”

The order was carried out very thoroughly, and a group of heavily armored ghost soldiers of about 100 men silently moved forward, forming two horizontal formations, blocking a gap about thirty paces long at the mouth of the valley, while the remaining brute soldiers began to climb the slopes on both sides to prevent the thieves waiting inside from slipping along the sides.

Changsun Hong, with a dozen or so guards, dismounted behind the ghost pawn formation and sorted out his bow and arrows.

The generals of Jinghu also stood here, looking around curiously, and communicating with each other in a low voice.

"There are only more than 100 people guarding the pass, which seems to be a bit small." Ai Zhongxiao, a famous general in the Jinghu Army, is good at arranging troops, he looked around, a little puzzled: "There are too many people on both sides of the mountain, this arrangement is unreasonable." ”

"Indeed, although those heavy armor soldiers look very powerful, the number is too small, I heard that there are thousands of thieves, and they can't be stopped by this person. If it were me, I would take down the people on both sides, form a phalanx, and leave both sides for them to run, and even if they run out, they will be stragglers, and they will catch up one by one. Another general, Zhang Ying, felt the same way and whispered.

Ai Zhongxiao looked at Changsun Hong, who was observing the distance in front of him, and shook his head: "Lord Changsun can train such a good soldier, it stands to reason that he should be a general, why he made such a stupid move against the enemy in battle, I really can't understand it." ”

"Maybe there's something we don't know about." Zhang Ying looked at the ghost soldiers lined up, and said with a cold breath: "Did you see it?" That's a Mo knife, no one has used it since the end of the Tang Dynasty, I didn't expect to see it here. ”

"This thing is too expensive, so it's not easy for people to find, it's not as easy to practice as an axe, a hook and fork, and no one in the forbidden army uses it." Ai Zhongxiao also stared at Modao: "Why are Dali's soldiers so strange." ”

"I think we're going to go into battle later. The Mo sword soldiers in front must not be able to withstand it, we stand here and bear the brunt, the eldest grandson is the brother of Lord Wang, we have to protect him. Zhang Ying pulled out a spear behind him and shook it in his hand.

On the side of the two, Liu Quan, who had been silent, looked at them, squinted, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything in the end.

He just felt in his heart: This formation, where is the tactic of blocking people, it is clearly to completely seal the exit, and not let go of a single one.

While thinking, Liu Cheng still took down the bow and arrow hanging on the side of the horse, put it on his head, and took a deep breath.

He saw that in the mist in the distance, there were many figures, and the noise of healthy horses neighing and crowds running was faintly heard.

"Royal!"

Two rows of ghost soldiers, under the order of the centurion, bent down and bent their knees, pulled down the iron mask covering their faces, and held knives in both hands, the tips of their long knives emitting cold light, facing forward.

Eldest Sun Hong also stretched out his hand and pulled down the iron mask, his mask was an angry King Kong look, very hideous.

The two reserved holes were as cold as frost.
