"Will the thieves come?"

Not to mention Yang He's anxiety, other people in the army also have such doubts, but compared to the senior officers, ordinary soldiers have much simpler ideas, anyway, follow Yang Xianggong, Yang Xianggong tells them to do something, they will do it, what do they want to do.

The trench was dug up, with a little fishy smell of dirt, and sometimes a little water seeped out, and many sergeants' mandarin duck jackets and cloaks were stained with a little muddy water.

At noon, the sun also rises suddenly, mixed with the moisture in the weeds, giving people a feeling of humidity and heat, this is the case, the rain stops, the sun comes, heavy rain and waterlogging, light rain and small waterlogging, no rain and drought, crops and people are bitter.

In the second trench, Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng sat side by side on the inside of the trench, and used the fine cloth in their hands to carefully wipe the flint Xin'an Changgong in their hands. Wipe the shell, wipe it until it is shiny, and then dial the metal piece of the safety to the left, and pull out the copper bolt to wipe it.

They wiped the copper bolt to the gold, and also used a small iron rod to thin the eye holes of the fire door, and used a small hook palladium to palladium the breech holes to palladium and palladium, leaving no trace of debris inside. Finally, the copper bolt was pushed forward satisfied, and then the right press was pressed, and the copper bolt machine was stuck in the hard empty groove.

The empty trough has been covered with iron, although the hardwood is hard, but in order to prolong the service life, after the first month, the new Anjun in the hands of each soldier is covered with iron.

The two of them finally dialed the metal fuse to the right, so that the precious copper bolt would not fall.

Looking at the large platoon of soldiers extending in the trench, they are all like this, carefully inspecting and maintaining the weapons in their hands, the regulations in this regard are very strict, and the special military law team will come to check at any time.

If the weapons in each person's hands are not properly maintained, such as debris remaining in the breech hole, the fire door eye is blocked, and the copper bolt behind is dusty, etc., not only the soldier will be severely punished with the military stick, but also their captain, captain, and will always suffer.

Therefore, the soldiers took care of the weapons in their hands when they were fine, and some people repeatedly checked them many times, but if they could not find them, they used whetstones to sharpen the detoxifiers in their hands.

Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng chatted with nothing, both analyzing whether the thieves would come over, not far from them were the chief Han Daxia and the deputy general Luo Xianjue, the two of them muttered something softly, and seemed to be confirming all kinds of details of the defense line.

In the end, the deputy general Luo Xianjue got up helplessly: "Okay, I'll check it again, alas, it's really ......"

The two glanced at each other, with a smile on their faces, and the general Han Daxia was old-fashioned even to the point of harshness, and it was not easy to serve as the deputy general under him.

However, they are only the vice-captains of the first and second teams, and there are two captains above, and it is not their turn to do something. They also saw that the captains Ma Xiang and Yang Tianfu sat down easily, both of them were holding the sweat on their foreheads, sitting on the mud ditch with their buttocks, and took out a coconut scoop just to fill it with water.

A team of deputy tiger squatting guns satisfied with the safety metal sheet dialed to the right, seeing Ma Xiang sitting down beside him, he said angrily: "Captain Ma, what are you turning?" Just this little thing, you have to turn it five or six times, and people who don't know still think that you are the president. ”

The lean Ma Xiang scolded: "This is called duty, you know how to fart?" ”

He said: "You say, why did you follow Yang Xianggong to fight thieves? ”

Tiger squatted and said: "Needless to say, repay the favor, it's not Yang Xianggong, I would have died on the way to escape." ”

Ma Xiang scolded happily: "Let's just say that you are a rammer, this repayment is just basic, this is called cold lips and teeth." If we don't fight the thieves, the thieves will cross the river, and Xin'anzhuang will be bad. Yang Xianggong said a long time ago, you want to defend the enemy outside the country, you fell asleep during class? ”

The tiger squatted and smirked, and the soldiers also laughed, and the trench was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng also laughed, at first they had similar thoughts to the tiger squatting cannon, but after entering the village, the brilliant oven inside repeatedly hammered them, and their fate seemed to be a vast and unpredictable ocean, where it would eventually surge, and they couldn't say clearly.

Soon, when the time came, the thieves still did not come, and the general division divided some dry food, all huge pancakes, one can be eaten, but this was made last night, and now it is dry and hard, and it is impossible to make a fire to make rice, so it is eaten cold.

Fortunately, the soldiers are used to it, even the dry and cold pancakes, with the water in the coconut scoop, are also eaten with relish.

Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng also ate a lot, Guan Feng licked the fat in his hand, and saw that Hu Yansheng seemed to be full, but there was still a small half of the cake in his hand that he hadn't finished, and he was thinking about asking him for it, when he suddenly saw Hu Yansheng stuffing the scrap cake in his hand into the cloak pocket, and said in a condensed voice: "The thief is here!" ”

……

"The thieves are coming?"

Minister Yang in the first trench, and Han Daxia in the second trench are all staring at Han Guan'er, who is separated from the left and right wings, and Yang Qianzong and Luo Xianjue also look at it solemnly.

Zhenwu Temple is dilapidated, full of dust inside, there is a well in the courtyard, the table with missing legs next to the well is placed, Yang He put down half of the pancake in his hand, and walked outside the temple, Zhang Songtao of the Chinese army, holding a shield, Chen Qiu Ao, who was carrying a javelin, immediately followed.

There was also an encounter in which the guards, all with iron helmets and cloaks, clanged between the lines and the clanging of the armor leaves, and they also followed.

Wang Dayi, deputy of the escort team, when Lei Li followed, Lei Li looked at it and took away the half-eaten scraps on the table.

There is a pile of rocks not far from the temple gate, and the side is full of weeds that are close to the height of the people, and everyone is hidden behind the mountain stones and grass, Yang He secretly looks down the mountain, and looks at the official road in the southwest distance, there seems to be some cold light of weapons, and there is also the appearance of a banner on the display.

A surging flow of people was approaching and spreading in this direction, and the demeanor was extremely arrogant, open, and swaggering, and there was no one else but the thieves.

The thieves are here!

The big stone fell in Yang He's heart, and at the same time, he mentioned in his heart that the number of thieves is also an important question.

He looked carefully, and Chen Qiu Ao's sharp eyes next to him were also staring at the official road, and he said loudly: "There are more than a thousand thieves, but the horse team should be about a thousand." ”

Yang He nodded, Chen Qiuao had joined the army, and his estimation of the number of troops was relatively keen, and according to what he knew and interrogated, the military composition of the thieves, the infantry was not a simple infantry, and the horse team was not a simple horse team, and there were quite a few people in it, or adults, or young people.

This maintenance is similar to the existence of the auxiliary soldiers, transporting grain, making food, chores, repairing equipment, etc., each team of 50 horsemen, will be equipped with 30 to 40 children.

If there are 1,000 thieves and horses, then the number of the retinue will be 600 to 800, and the number of men who will feed the horses and pick grass will be almost 2,000.

Zeng met Zhang Songtao's judgment, the thief horse team is also about 1,000, Yang He looked at it for a while, and the last big stone fell in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, and prepare for battle according to the earlier arrangement." The medical team, together in the war, immediately lit a fire and boiled water, ready to rescue the wounded. ”

Li Jiale also tiptoed behind, and he was raised in Xin'anzhuang for a few months, he was no longer so thin, and he also had the temperament of a medical officer, and he was well prepared for this visit, alcohol, medicine, gauze, bandages, all very well prepared.

He picked up the stone, looked at the official road thief, took a big breath, and then tiptoed again, almost crawling back to the temple on all fours.

At this time, the thief was still far away, and he couldn't see him even if he stood up, but everyone was very careful in this battle, and they had no chance of defeat.

Soon, Yang He took Chen Qiuao, Zeng Youyu and others to the second trench not far in front of him, hiding in the weeds, he has been fully armed, iron helmet and iron armor, covered with a black cloak, at this time to check the weapons for a while.

Chopping knife, three-eyed flint new handcuffs, and double insertion.

The bow he used has always been the Kaiyuan bow with the upper force, extremely strong, according to the calculation of "one force" at this time, nine catties and four taels are a force, ten forces are one stone, and his bow force is twelve forces, a strong bow with one stone and two buckets.

In later generations, the pull force reached 158 pounds, which was stronger than the top longbow in the West, and in the Qing army, only Bayala could use this twelve-force bow.

Today's battle is difficult to say, so Yang He is also well prepared, the quiver is full of armor-piercing heavy arrows, the weight of an arrow is more than 100 grams, and being shot with an arrow is similar to being thrown by a javelin, and the lethality is very strong.

He prepared carefully, and the people around him were also busy, the sentinel team, the escort team, all squatting on the grass to check the weapons, and in the two trenches in front of him, there were no human heads, and the killer soldiers on both wings could not see the figures.

They were all making the final preparations, and the special firearms soldiers, under the low command of the officer, loaded a fixed cartridge ammunition, flicked the fire fold and lit the fire rope on the fire gun.

The five falcon cannons were also loaded, and the gunner pierced the iron drill into the hole, stuffed the goose feather primer tube, and the igniter also burned his own lead rope.

……

The sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, but there was no smoke and dust, because at this time the official road was still full of mud, but thousands of horses' hooves stepped on the muddy water, except for the splashing of water, and in the distance, there was a dull rumbling sound.

The big flag of the word "Chuang" flutters, there is also a flag of the word "Xie", there are many flags of the horse team, each team has a flag, the flag bearer runs in front of the horse team when galloping, and then a team of knights, all follow the flag to walk.

It is well organized, and naturally keeps a distance of one horse in the gallop, showing a very elite appearance.

"Boom ......"

The horses galloped from the west side of the official road, and the knights on the horses, most of them were skilled in equestrianism, all of them were wrapped in turbans, or wore felt hats, basically wearing blue clothes, cloaks, carrying all kinds of long and short bows and arrows, and their faces were full of arrogance and confidence.

In particular, half of the knights in front of them were all carrying sabers, and some of them were wearing thick cotton armor and carrying double horses, and their expressions and demeanors were even more sophisticated.

Flags fluttered, hooves thundered, and thousands of horsemen galloped over, and the momentum was really terrifying.

Under the banner of the word "Xie", Xie Junyou, the general of the camp, looked at both sides of the official road expressionlessly, coming from Lingbi, it was such a wilderness, mud all the way, on both sides of the road were half-human high, one-person high barren grass, and occasionally some bushes.

In particular, the reeds by the lake and the river are generally one person high.

With such terrain and terrain a few years ago, he might have been worried about where there were ambushes, but now, do officers and soldiers still dare to fight with the rebels in the field?

Ambush? Even the elites of the two trilateral governors, the officers and soldiers of Suzhou City did not dare to go out of the city to ambush, and the small county towns along the way, where did such elites come from?

So he went all the way and was very relieved.

Of course, Xie Junyou, as one of the "Twenty-two Generals of the Five Battalions" in the future, General Zuo Guoyi of the front battalion, has been cautious in fighting to the core, and whenever he sees that the terrain is wrong, he will let the sentry cavalry search it.

It's just that there are wild grass everywhere, this wilderness is endless, Xie Junyou will not be impatient, and the generals he accompanied are impatient.

When galloping along the official road over Zhao Er Mountain, Xie Junyou frowned again, and his hand was raised, "sigh law", which is the sound of horses stopping and neighing, and each horse's nose is full of thick white gas, and everyone's cloak is flying in the wilderness.

A general beside Xie Junyou said helplessly: "Master Xie, what's wrong?" ”

Xie Junyou just looked at him coldly on the horse, although he had a rough appearance, a cotton armor, a red cloak, and a felt hat, he still looked like an ironworker, but he was an old man in the camp, and he had gone through countless battles of all sizes, and his sense of smell in all aspects of the battlefield was extremely keen.

He said, "Donkey Ball, I always feel wrong!" ”

The general beside him smiled bitterly: "Xie Ye, along the way, you have felt that something is wrong six times, which one is not a false alarm?" We have entered the Suining realm, this is just a small county town, at most some villagers are brave and strong, they still dare to go out of the city to fight in the field and ambush it? ”

Another general also said: "Mom, if you dare to ambush it, let's wave our army eastward, and the city we encounter, which one is not shrinking and not moving?" Every time the hungry people attack the city, the birds come out, and it is good to change them to new tricks. ”

As he spoke, he burst out laughing, and his arrogance spread, and some of the thieves around him also laughed.

Earlier, the general looked at the sky and said: "Xie Ye, let's hurry, you don't have to worry, how can the people in such a small place be strong and brave, how can it be possible to go out of the city to fight?" Even if they go out of the city, look at these mountain bags, weeding is higher, not dangerous and gentle. They dared to lay in ambush, and our horse corps of a thousand men, half of them were elite horsemen, and they were wiped out in this wilderness. ”

A group of thieves next to him also disagreed, this Xie Ye is really the older the person, the less courageous, this time they came, in addition to raising, the rest are all horse teams, half of them are fine horses, and some of them are horsemen, and they are afraid of the people in small places?

The title of fine cavalry is not something that can be possessed casually, at least it has the ability to chop immediately, and no matter how good the equestrian skills are, the rest can only be regarded as horsemen.

Xiao cavalry is even better at riding and shooting, such a force, seeing that Xie Ye is still hesitant, they look down on it.

At this time, the camp has not yet established an official system, and the upper and lower levels are not respectful, and most of the thieves are the elite leaders of the management team, the sentry, and the head of the family under each battalion, leading the horse team, and they also have their own speech strength, and in their tone and demeanor, they are not so respectful to Xie Junyou.

Many people even showed impatience on their faces, but Xie Junyou just looked around coldly.

The soldiers here didn't dare to come out, Yang He was lying in the grass, and he stared at that side without blinking.

Seeing that the rogue horse team stopped moving, he couldn't help but feel nervous, the rogue wouldn't find anything, right?

He looked to the east side of the river, hoping that the suspicious soldiers stationed there would help.
