Chapter 45: Mountain Bandits

The gang of Bronze Mountain bandits slowly approached, and they looked like there were more than a hundred of them, all of them were foot soldiers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang He estimated that they were one hundred and twenty-three, and the number of them was slightly smaller than that of this side, but they were all young and strong, and these bandits lived by robbing homes and houses on weekdays, and they all had experience in battlefield fighting, but they were the young and strong refugees who had just formed the army here and could not compare.

Watching them march for a long time, and from time to time they screamed a few times to increase the psychological pressure here, and sure enough, they were all bandits for many years.

Yang He's team was a little flustered, although there were several robbers in front, they were not as murderous as these bandits in front of them, and they seemed to be not good.

Look at them with ferocity and cruelty in their eyes, and their eyes are green, just like those wild dogs that eat people, they are no longer human. There are more than a dozen old thieves in their team, with a kind of fierceness and ability.

Yang He ordered to be on guard, although I don't know if this negotiation can be successful, but it is always right to do a good job of protection.

At this time, they were in the middle of a path between two mountains, and the two hills were very gentle, separated by half a mile, and almost two hundred paces. Yang He ordered to retreat to the slope on the right, although it was gentle, it was also a good location, no matter what happened, first occupy the favorable terrain.

He asked the women, children and old people to gather at the top of the mountain, then the baggage team, and then the killer team at the front.

He quickly arranged, and his team had already had the concept of lining up along the way, especially those old people, who had a subconscious instinct. They obeyed silently, and the newcomers were accompanied by the old ones who knew what to do.

The younger brother and sister Ying'er Qian'er had already come down from the back basket, and the two children were silent, and obediently let Zhao Zhongju and the others lead them to the back.

Then there was the baggage team led by Sheng Santang, Yang Mage, and Li Xueyi, which formed a barrier in front of women, children and the elderly.

Men and women, young and old, led by the elderly, also moved their shields in front of them, ready to protect their bows and arrows.

Seeing that Yang He quickly arranged the protection, and the queue still had the taste of the military formation, the eyes of the three Zhang Chugong brothers flashed with admiration.

They also discussed it privately, speculating whether Yang Xianggong's family had been out of the general's house, otherwise these methods of training and commanding soldiers are all secrets, how can Yang Xianggong know if he is a scholar?

This is also a disadvantage at this time, leading the training of troops is too dependent on the experience of generals, that is, there are too many veterans in the army, and the combat effectiveness of an army will decline rapidly, so there is a saying that thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find.

At this time, Hu Cheng and the four of them also ran back with Han Daxia.

Seeing that at this time, Yang He had already arranged protection and occupied the most favorable terrain, and their eyes flashed with horror, this scholar became more and more incomprehensible.

"The sunen pipe is a bull's head and horse noodles."

Hu Cheng's face was not very good when he came back, he scolded and scolded, and Zeng Youyu, who usually smiled, also had an ugly face at this time.

and Chen Qiuao, who is always cold and indifferent, has the same solemn expression.

Zhang Chugong explained for Yang He, this bull head and horse face outsiders call it the Niu Zhang family, the horse palm family, the real name is unknown, only know that they were Liu Liangzuo's defeated soldiers, the wind is very bad, often captive women **** after humiliation and eat, and it is rumored that they like to eat children's meat the most.

Niu Tou Ma Mian once recruited Zhang Zhugong and others, but they refused, and there were more than a dozen backbone old thieves under their command, which should not be underestimated.

……

Yang Hece was on the horse, and there was a weed under the horse's hooves, a piece of withered yellow color.

He looked at the opposite side, and the bandits had stopped more than a hundred paces away, and they were gathering together, laughing uncontrollably, seeing that they were in shabby clothes, with red scarves wrapped around their heads, and most of the weapons in their hands were clubs, and some of them had waist knives and spears.

There were also people with short weapons such as axes and iron rulers, and they were all laughing and laughing, and they were full of cruelty.

The broken flag of "walking for the sky" was carried by a strong thief, and then more than a dozen bandits gathered under its banner were more important to Yang He.

Looking at them, they are the backbone, and they seem to be composed of defeated soldiers and old thieves from all over the country.

Yang He silently counted in his heart, eight archers, five sword and shield soldiers, most of the archers wore red hats, and some wore red felt hats, or scarves, and the strength of the bow was unknown.

But in troubled times, the most reliable thing is the weapon in hand, for the old thieves, especially the archers, the bow in their hands is their food capital, and it must be well maintained.

Two of the five sword and shield soldiers carried javelins on their backs, just like Chen Qiuao, their combat power was more outstanding, and they were also wearing military hats on their heads.

These people are basically cloaked, thick and warm, very different from those ordinary bandits who are dressed in shabby clothes.

Zhang Chugong whispered to Yang He, these thirteen old thieves are known as the thirteen Taibao in their village, and their combat power is strong, and they must be taken seriously.

In the end, there were two fierce men wrapped in purple folded scarves and blue cloaks, but they were holding three-eyed guns.

There are iron thorns on the body of these three-eyed guns, like maces, and it seems that there is a spear head protruding from the middle of the gun, just like the pear flower gun at the beginning of the country, it is three-in-one, it can shoot, stab, and smash, so that Yang He's eyes will stay on their weapons for a while.

Seeing that the bandits of Bronze Mountain were gathered a hundred steps away, Yang He still sent Hu Employment to negotiate with him.

Hu Cheng hesitated a little, but still went, but asked the sword and shield soldier Chen Qiuao to go with him, and use the shield to help him block possible cold arrows.

His younger brother Hu Qiyi was a little worried about his brother, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

At the same time, the bandits over there were also looking at this side, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that the refugees on this side looked on guard in a blink of an eye.

There are also dozens of young men here, with black scarves and armor spears, which are very different from ordinary refugee teams, and make them a little cautious.

But in a blink of an eye, they didn't care, and they also saw it, especially those old thieves, who saw at a glance that this side was just ordinary refugees, most of them were insignificant, and only a few people would be slightly stronger.

Generally, the boss team basically has the ability to hope for qi, and whether the opponent on the opposite side is strong or weak, you can see at a glance that this is a temperament feeling that is difficult to describe in words, even if a tiger is stung and lazy, it will still give people a strong threat.

Although the team here has young and strong equipment, but the momentum is lacking, after all, most of them were ordinary refugees two days ago, and the formation has only been two days, how can there be any momentum?

They have not gone through much training, especially most of them have never seen a battle and have been stained with blood, so the fierceness in their bones is far from that of the bandits opposite, and there are not many young and strong people.

Therefore, the bandits on the other side laughed wildly again, pointing at this side, their greedy and murderous eyes swept over the horses of Yang He, and even swirled around the women and children in the army, which made people feel terrified.

Hu Cheng and the two were on guard in the past, and someone on the other side quickly recognized them.

"Hey, it's Hu Dalang."

"It's Zhang Zhugong them."

"Chen Killing."

Hu Zhan and Chen Qiuao stopped fifty steps from the opposite side, Chen Qiu Ao held a shield, and Hu Zhan shouted beside him: "Niu Zhang's family, Ma Zhang's family, brothers and others passed by Guibao Land, and they are willing to offer fifty taels of silver to buy wine and drink for the brothers." ”

The bull-headed horse faced a few words, but only sneered silently.

More than a dozen old thieves beside him shouted nonsense: "Hu Dalang, didn't you say that you were mixed up, why did you vote again?" ”

"Hu Dalang, don't get involved in this matter, just leave quickly."

"Brother Hu, if you come over, everyone will be happy together, and it will be better than giving up your life in vain."

They demanded that all the refugees and their baggage be left behind.

All the women, children, and children were left behind.

The horses that Yang He rode should also be left behind, and the young men could go.

However, the Zhang Zhugong brothers also want to stay.

Because they had rejected the solicitation of the Niuzhang family and the Mazhang family before, and now they have voted for someone else, they must be escorted back to the village.
