Chapter Ninety-Six: The Way and the Wrong
(One more, red ticket!) )
Xiao Tianjian silently put his hands behind his back, his lips pursed, and with a trace of guilt and worry in his eyes, he stood on the school field and listened carefully to the shouts and killings at the mountain gate.
Yan Chongxi stood behind him with a nonchalant expression, and also listened to the movement at the mountain gate, and even had a sneer.
And behind them, more than 400 soldiers of the Xingtian Army on the school field sat neatly on the ground, with their hands on their knees, although the scorching sun was on their bodies, everyone was wet and sweaty, but no one dared to move, or wipe the sweat on their faces, every once in a while, there would be firefighters with picks, which contained boiled mung bean water to send a bowl to everyone, so that they could drink it to relieve the heat.
The whole cottage was silent, no one made a loud noise, only the more than 400 soldiers and recruits who were about to go into battle, each with their weapons on the ground at hand, within reach, and rows of spears neatly arranged beside everyone on the school grounds.
Everyone quietly pricked up their ears and listened to the gunshots, cannons, shouts and scoldings coming from the mountain gate, all with different expressions, but no one turned their heads to each other.
In particular, many of the recruits' faces showed panic or worry, because they knew that they would soon face the first battle in their lives, and whether they could win this battle was related to the lives of almost everyone present, including their own lives.
The soldiers in the battle corps seemed to be much more relaxed, and the muscles of their bodies were relaxed when they sat on the ground, without wasting a little strength, and some even squinted their eyes, not listening and thinking too much, as if the old monks had settled down, waiting for their officers to give the order to get up.
It was indeed very hot, so that after drinking the water, it soon turned into sweat, and the big guy had been sitting for nearly two hours, but no one stood up to urinate, and just sat on the ground and waited for the next order from their palms.
Xiao Tianjian slowly paced on the edge of the school field leading to the mountain pass with his hands behind his back, trying not to think about it as much as possible, but he still couldn't control it, turned around and walked in front of Yan Chongxi, and whispered to Yan Chongxi: "You said those homeless people, can they escape this catastrophe?" ”
Yan Chongxi saw Xiao Tianjian's guilt, and replied with a solemn expression on his face: "If you return to the plate, your subordinates don't know!" Whether they can live or not, it is all up to their own creation! You don't have to be so guilty, you don't have to be a husband if you are not poisonous, these people can't live in the first place, it's best to escape, and if you can't escape, you will get out of this sea of misery as soon as possible! You can't save so many people now, and when we have the ability one day, we might as well think about this again! ”
Xiao Tianjian glared at Yan Chongxi, today's idea is this guy's idea, since they came to Tianlong Village, there will be some homeless people passing here, or defecting to them, Xiao Tianjian was a little kind, let Jin Fuzi take out some food, boiled porridge outside the mountain to help some homeless people who were about to starve to death, this day as soon as the news of Longzhai soup soup spread, it actually attracted a large number of homeless people to come to Tianlong Village to beg for food, during this time, there are hundreds of homeless people who gather outside every day to wait for soup kitchen.
But Xiao Tianjian's ability is limited at the moment, and he no longer recruits more subordinates, just to give some porridge and food to the homeless people outside, and get some good reputation for the Xingtianjun, and after he has greater strength in the future, if he needs to recruit new soldiers, he hopes to raise his arms, and a large number of homeless people will come to him.
But this time, when he heard that Li Fengtian, the old bastard, had gathered officers and soldiers and many villagers to come here to fight him, he temporarily paused the matter of giving porridge to the homeless, hoping that the homeless people could disperse on their own.
But I didn't think that the homeless people seemed to regard Tianlongzhai as a last straw, even if they stopped giving porridge, the homeless people refused to leave, and spontaneously formed a settlement near Tianlongzhai, waiting for Tianlongzhai to give them porridge.
Yesterday, after Xiao Tianjian came back with Yan Chongxi and them to investigate the situation of the enemy army, he suddenly saw these homeless people gathered outside Tianlong Village, Xiao Tianjian remembered that once the war broke out here, the officers and soldiers would be like bandits, and they would definitely take the heads of these homeless people to kill the good and risky people, so he wanted to inform these homeless people and let them leave quickly to avoid trouble.
However, Yan Chongxi rolled his eyes, but prevented Xiao Tianjian from telling these homeless people the news of the upcoming war, and said that it was a matter of confidentiality, once these homeless people were told, they were not allowed to report to the officials and soldiers, so that those officials and villagers had to be on guard in advance.
Xiao Tianjian felt that Yan Chongxi's words were reasonable, so he returned to the cottage and continued to discuss with his subordinates how to retreat from the enemy, and finally made a very vicious plan.
The core of the plan is to use these homeless people to tell them the truth before the official army comes, and send Shi Ran and others to escape from Tianlong Village with the homeless, and use these homeless people to escape in panic as the Xingtian Army, attract some of the enemy's forces, and then attract most of the remaining officers and soldiers to continue to attack the cottage with a small number of people.
Then in the end, they will take advantage of the unique terrain of Tianlong Village, and they will face off with the enemy army inside Tianlong Village.
This plan was proposed by Yan Chongxi, and after Xiao Tianjian analyzed it, he thought that it was completely feasible, and the odds of winning were very large, but the only thing that made him a little unacceptable was the first point, which was to use those displaced people gathered outside Tianlong Village as bait to attract the enemy army to chase and kill them.
The outcasts have no combat effectiveness at all, and if this plan is successful, it will definitely attract the cavalry and light cavalry of the enemy army to pursue, and the homeless people can basically say that there is no hope of escape under the pursuit of the enemy army.
Xiao Tianjian was originally a little resistant to this approach in his heart, but later his subordinates agreed with the plan proposed by Yan Chongxi, Xiao Tianjian also figured out this matter, knowing that those who become big things have to be informal, non-toxic and husbandful, this plan does have too much temptation for him, and he feels excited when he thinks about it, so Xiao Tianjian finally relented and gritted his teeth to set this plan.
Early this morning, Shi Ran's scout team passed the distance of the enemy back and forth, and just after the enemy army approached Tianlong Village, Xiao Tianjian ordered to notify the displaced people outside the village, gathered them together, and each of them gave them a cake prepared in advance, telling them that the official army was going to attack Tianlong Village, and let them leave this place as soon as possible with Shi Ran and others, so as not to be harmed by the official army.
At this time, those homeless people panicked, and no one thought much about it, took the cake and fled towards the north with Shi Ran and others, everyone has the psychology of conformity, a large group of people always feel safer when they get together, and as a result, hundreds of homeless people are wrapped in a ball, and they fled to the north in a panic, and few people left the team and fled separately.
As expected, the enemy army also sent a sentry, and just saw the team of the displaced people fleeing, so they mistakenly thought that it was the pole of Tianlong Village After hearing about their arrival, they fled from Tianlong Village, and ran back to report to Ding Baoquan, who led the army.
And Ding Baoquan didn't know what to do, so he really sent troops and horses to pursue the team of the homeless people, and then Li Xuanzhu led his men, pretending that it was too late to escape, and attracted the remaining officers and soldiers and Xiangyong to Tianlong Village.
Judging from the current situation, their plan can be said to be going very smoothly, the enemy army did not expect it at all, the main force of the Xingtian Army did not leave Tianlong Village at all, all of them were still hidden in the cottage, just waiting for the enemy army to break through the mountain gate and rush into the village, and then give them a head-on attack.
Although Xiao Tianjian now has the confidence to defeat this group of enemy troops face to face in the field, after all, their equipment is still much different from that of officers and soldiers, especially in terms of firearms, they only have more than a dozen muskets of various types, and a tiger squat cannon with a lack of ammunition.
And he has just trained so many hundreds of subordinates, most of them are some recruits who have not really been in battle and have never seen blood, he may be able to control them and the enemy in close contact when he is in battle, but he does not dare to guarantee that if they are allowed to stand there and be bombarded by enemy artillery, muskets and bows and arrows, these recruits will not be dispersed on the spot, once such a situation occurs, the result is conceivable.
Therefore, he did not dare to take this risk, so he had to take the opponent by surprise, and try not to give the opponent a chance to use their artillery muskets and those long-range weapons such as swarm rockets, so only by taking the method of raiding the enemy can he have a chance to win.
But the problem is that he is seriously lacking cavalry at the moment, and there are only less than 20 scouts on hand, which cannot play the role of a surprise attack on the enemy, although it is also a ravine, and some places are still more suitable for hiding soldiers, but he does not dare to guarantee that the enemy army must be a pig's head, and will not send sentry detectives to explore around, once the enemy finds out that he has an ambush, it is still impossible to avoid being killed by the opponent with artillery.
As a result, everyone thought about it, and only by using Tianlong Village itself to ambush the opponent, in the end, Yan Chongxi would come up with such a bad move to damage the family.
Xiao Tianjian also accepted this plan with a clear conscience, but when he thought of the homeless people who were chased and killed by the officials and soldiers and the villagers outside, Xiao Tianjian still felt a little uneasy about his conscience, and felt that he was not taking the lives of those homeless people as human lives in doing so.
"No poison, no husband, this world is like a mustard, not to mention that Lao Tzu didn't kill those homeless people! If you want to blame, you can only blame the old bastard surnamed Li for being unkind! After this battle, after Lao Tzu's strength grew, Lao Tzu led people to break the bastard Zhuangzi surnamed Li, and slaughtered the old guy, even if it was to avenge these homeless people! After Xiao Tianjian heard Yan Chongxi's words, he comforted himself in his heart.
Then he became relaxed, listened to the voice at the mountain gate again, and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Xuanzhu did a better job than we expected, and he actually lasted so long!" ”
Yan Chongxi also nodded with a smile, sighed and said, "Brother Li is indeed brave, I can't compare!" ”
"Fake is true, true is false, let Li Xuanzhu make such a fuss, I expect that the officers and soldiers outside and those villagers are even more dizzy! Send someone to tell Li Xuanzhu, tell him not to hold on for too long, fight quickly, and let them come in quickly! It's not good for the brethren to be in the sun all the time! Hehe! After letting go of the knot, Xiao Tianjian was much more cheerful and commanded with a smile.
"Yes! ……”
