According to rough estimates, the amount of grain and soybean material transported is about 1,200 stones. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The thieves came to Suining, and the grain and grass prepared were estimated to be about half a month.

They were 1,800 people, and the food they ate was about 300 stones, and the rest were horses and mules, estimated at 900 stones.

In peacetime, horses and mules can eat some grass, hay, wheat straw and other roughage, and in wartime, they must eat well and feed concentrate feed, so that they can have the strength to work and gallop.

This concentrate feed is beans, wheat and wheat bran, it doesn't matter if people eat it, horses and mules must be fed and eaten well. The digestive system of horses is not good, and if you eat too much hay concentrate, you will be constipated, and you should mix some vegetable oil in the wheat bran, and even feed some inferior honey to moisten the intestines and laxative.

The husband eats two catties of grain a day, and the horse eats seven catties of grain a day, which is more than three times that of a man. Healthy cattle can be fed some grain, but cattle eat very little food every day, about a catty. Mules may have fewer than horses, but they are not much worse, and overall they are three times that of people.

Seeing that these horses and mules are still well taken care of, the grain and grass are well prepared, and the grain and grass prepared for them are 900 stones, which are now owned by Yang He, and there is no need to work for the grain and grass for the time being, these can be used.

I was satisfied with the captured grain and grass, and there were a lot of weapons and armor in front of me.

Ordinary weapons Yang He didn't care, but armor Yang He cared more.

According to the information of the captured thieves, half of the thieves on this trip were equipped with cotton armor, and among the various cotton armors seized, 85 pairs were harvested if they were not seriously damaged, and 120 pairs were harvested if they were slightly damaged.

Most of these cotton armors are "pure cotton armor", this kind of cotton armor, "every seven catties of cotton soaked in water mallet flat into a thin sun-dried, repeatedly dried three times into a layer, with three layers sewn into a jacket", plus the lining of the outer coat, about 20 catties.

Liukou cotton armor is known as "thick 100 layers", of course, it is an exaggeration, pure cotton armor is no more than four layers, weighing about 30 catties.

There are also some iron-inlaid cotton armor, lined with armor pieces, weighing 30 catties to 40 catties, there are more than 30 pairs of iron-inlaid cotton armor seized here, some of them are in better condition, and some are broken into pieces by artillery, but some of the armor pieces can still be used.

Yang He picked up a pair of iron-inlaid cotton armor and saw that the inner armor had been penetrated, and the perimeter of the cave was flocculent, and he couldn't help but shake his head, firearms are really unstoppable.

At this time, there are experiments, and the excellent bird gun, with the caliber of Yang He, can break through two layers of wet blanket quilts in about eighty steps, and three to four layers of wet blanket quilts in fifty steps, and the effect of quilt and cotton armor covering projectiles is actually very limited.

The large-scale equipment of cotton armor such as the Qing army's rogues is related to the quality of the firearms used by many officers and soldiers, and even more related to their preference for long-distance combat.

In the Qi family's army, the bird gun is also the enemy's 100 steps (150 meters) distance to shoot, listening to the sound of the horn, there are several layers of several layers. Then the enemy advanced to sixty paces (ninety meters), and Fang Xu shot arrows and crossbows.

One hundred and fifty meters away, pure cotton armor, inlaid with iron cotton armor, still has some effect, and it will be over after a few rows. But when encountering Yang He, who likes to shoot at a distance of fifty paces, and the fight is still endless, it is really useless.

However, Yang He still cherished the order to put it away, these cotton armor can't resist firearms at close range, and it's good to deal with bows and arrows, especially iron-inlaid cotton armor.

The iron armor of Yang He and others can be broken with a ten-force bow and more than ten steps, and the hundred-pound longbow can be broken with armor-piercing arrows when it reaches fifteen yards (within ten steps), and the iron-inlaid cotton armor can be used to break the enemy more than twenty steps away, as long as the ten-force bow is not used, the anti-arrow ability is also very good.

The last big pile of swords, shields, spears, bows and arrows, wait until you go back and sort them out carefully, and you can't take a sentence of seizure.

……

More than 500 thieves were captured in this battle, all of whom were tied with their hands behind their backs, most of them were raised by auxiliary soldiers, and some of them were cavalrymen.

In this way, more than 200 people escaped, 1,800 people were captured in this battle, and the casualties were as high as 1,100, which can be described as heavy casualties, especially the loss of elite cavalry, Yang He estimated that they escaped at most a few dozen people, which can be called the annihilation of the whole army.

This is an astonishing result, the thieves fight, and in peacetime even the loss of horsemen is very small, let alone the elite cavalry.

These old thieves often run the fastest when they see that the situation is not good, and then they are casually coerced and gather hundreds of thousands of people.

In this battle, Yang He hit them in the first wave, eight rows of guns, mostly on their heads, and five artillery pieces, also hit them in the pile.

Coupled with this terrain, as well as the rampant rogance of the thieves, this remarkable result was achieved.

Yang He looked at the thieves lightly, some of them were panicked, and some of them didn't care, so Yang He called Chen Qiuao and Zeng Youyu and asked them to bring some people to pick out the elite horsemen and horsemen among the thieves captives.

He won't bring these people back to Suining.

These old thieves, all full of evil, have deep vices, and are incorrigible, although their skills are very outstanding, and they can fight immediately under the horse, and they need such people very much, but they still pick them out and kill them all.

Zhang Zhugong, Chen Qiuao and others were once defeated soldiers, but they also have their own bottom-line principles, and the principles of these people are that there are no principles.

Or kill them all, so as not to cause any trouble.

And the two of them were once born in the military, and they are very sensitive to what is a villain and what a ruffian is an old bandit, and they can know it at a glance and can be well screened.

The rest of the people, many of them are coerced people, there are 30,000 thieves and horse thieves, 100,000 foot thieves, a team of people needs to support 30 or 40 people, and the number of auxiliary soldiers is almost 100,000.

They feed horses and make equipment and chores, know the common sense of baggage, know a lot about the inside affairs of the thieves, and many of them are still craftsmen, and they are still useful.

After being escorted back, the more than 1,000 horses and mules can be fed.

Even if you don't have skills, it takes some coolie to smash rocks in the quarry.

Of course, for the time being, these people are all assigned to the hard labor camp, and Yang He will not let them mix with the villagers, and slowly see the results, and if there are any hidden dangers, they will also be unceremoniously killed.

……

Yang He also asked Chen Qiuao and Zeng Youyu to screen them, and those who had villains and vices in them were all singled out to get together with those old thieves.

In the end, Yang He ordered the heads of the dead thieves to be cut off, bury all their corpses, and return to the Zhenwu Temple to visit the casualties.

His losses in this battle were not small, with more than 20 casualties, especially Ma Xiang, the captain of the first team of the second general team, was killed, Zhang Zongxiang, the deputy of the third team, was killed in battle, and the captain Lin Guangguan was seriously injured, which made him feel a little heavy, and the high voices of Minister Yang and others who followed behind him were also low.

The first deputy general Yang Qian was also injured, but fortunately he was wearing iron armor, although he was severely hacked with an axe in the chest, but it was not deep in the flesh, but he was smashed by a big stick behind him, and he didn't know what internal injuries he would suffer.

Everyone looked at the wounded, the Zhenwu Temple was cleaned up, the cauldron was shelved, the instruments and fine cloths were steamed in hot water, Li Jiale and others were busy, cutting the cloth strips with scissors, and wiping the wounds of the wounded with fine cloth and hot water.

Then carefully wash and disinfect each person's wound with alcohol, and finally apply ointment and bandage.

After these wounded are bandaged and treated, they will be sent back to Xin'anzhuang for recuperation, and then people will be selected from the baggage team to fill the vacancies, and people will be selected from the recruit camp to fill the vacancies in the baggage team.

Minister Yang looked at the many wailing wounded, most of them were him, he frowned and said loudly: "Xianggong, we will suffer losses in this battle without iron armor." If the left-wing thieves had come around, and each of the brothers facing the battle had iron armor, the casualties would not have been so heavy! ”

He pointed to Mr. Yang Qian, who was lying on a stretcher: "Look, Mr. Qian's brothers are protected by iron armor, they have been slashed more than a dozen times, taken an axe, and smashed again, and there is still nothing at all." ”

Mr. Yang Qian glanced at him, how did he speak? I'm lying here now, is this okay?

Yang He nodded silently, there were twenty-six casualties in this battle, some of them were arrow wounds thrown by thieves, except for the captain Ma Xiang, who was shot in the throat and died, the rest were in average injuries.

The largest casualties occurred on the left flank, and although there were only more than 40 thieves who came around the attack, the casualties on the side were as high as 21, and 15 were especially killed, five were seriously wounded, and only one was slightly slightly injured, which was very serious.

This cold weapon contact is either dead or seriously injured, and it is very cruel.

If there is the protection of iron armor, the number of dead and seriously injured can be rapidly reduced.

Han Daxia also said: "Xianggong, if the killer team arranges two wings in the future, these soldiers who guard the flanks of the flanks will smash the pot and sell iron, and they must also be equipped with armor." ”

Zhang Songtao suddenly sighed: "If you eat a trench and grow wise, you are afraid that the thieves will fight against us, and use firearms and even artillery against our heavy shield and spear array, then it will be useless." ”

Minister Yang and the others were dumbfounded, and Yang He also frowned slightly, the battle formation is like this, there must be a spear if there is a shield.

Even if there is the protection of ironclad soldiers, the consequences of encountering the enemy's firearms in the heavy shield spear array are unimaginable.

But overall, I won this battle, and the harvest was very rich.

……

On the grass south of the official road, more than 180 thieves were tied up and gathered here, all of them were selected horsemen and horses, and some of them had repeated evil deeds. Perhaps they were coerced at the beginning, but when they entered the den of thieves, they went further and further down the road of evil.

Some of the soldiers and ironclad guards guarded them with swords and spears, and the thieves just chatted lightly, peeking at the villagers who guarded them. There was amazement and incomprehension in their eyes, although these villagers looked strong, they were even stronger.

Except for the small number of ironclad soldiers, how did these villagers defeat them?

Many people also peeked at the Xiangyong with firearms on the official road, and many thieves only now understood that the number of Xiangyong soldiers in ambush was not large, not the sixth or eighth platoon they expected.

Then there were questions that came to the hearts of the thieves, those village brave soldiers, how could their birds fight so fast?

Of course, doubts are questions, and the thieves are still chatting in private easily, and as soon as they see this frame, the head of the village is going to recruit them.

See, separating one's own people from those cowards is a manifestation of valuing them.

When you look at the heroes around you, they are all the same kind, real men who come and go in the wind and rain, and can lick blood from the knife edge.

Such a real man, where is he not popular? Both officers and soldiers and the rebels raised their hands to welcome their joining.

The thieves inquired of each other, whether they really wanted to be obedient? Or is it a stopgap measure?

Many thieves have a plan in their hearts, and they have to bow their heads under the eaves, and temporarily belong to this Suining Xiangyong.

Some of them used to be officers and soldiers, today they are soldiers, tomorrow they are thieves, and the day after tomorrow they become soldiers again, and they have long been accustomed to throwing themselves around.

For them, it's just a matter of changing owners, and it doesn't matter whether they are soldiers or thieves.

The footsteps were chaotic, and a young general under the age of twenty under the age of twenty in a black ermine cloak, with a helmet and armor, came over, handsome and deep, with sharp eyes, surrounded by a large group of people wearing the same helmet and cloak.

Then looking at the side, the smiling man in the black cloak said: "Okay, okay, all kneel in a row, my family is going to lecture!" ”

The thieves peeked in, it seemed that the young general was the head of these village warriors, people were swordsmen, I was fish and meat, and some of the thieves were kneeling well, and some of the thieves even stammered: "Great-master, we are willing to join the gang, and I hope that Great-master will be raised, and a few beautiful words." ”

Zeng Youyu just smiled and said, "I know, kneel!" ”

The sound of neat footsteps came, and the same number of firecrackers stepped forward, each of them stopped five steps in front of the thieves, their fire ropes had been lit, and then neatly pulled up the copper bolt machine that bent down, took out the customized paper cylinder bullet from the shoulder bag and stuffed it, and then pushed the copper bolt into it.

Some of the thieves showed surprise in their eyes, and some of the thieves looked at the township in front of them in surprise.

Their guns, which can be refilled from the back of the buttocks?

Then the thieves listened to the young leader of the village and heard loudly, and the cold voice echoed: "...... As the general manager of Lian, this official swore to protect Suining Xiangzi, Er and other thieves, full of evil, and all of them were executed, so as to set an example! ”

Minister Yang shouted: "Raise the gun! ”

There was a loud sound of metal, and the firecrackers in front of them all raised their new guns and aimed at the kneeling thieves in front of them.

All the thieves were terrified, what is the matter, put to death? Not to solicit them?

Many people howled and begged desperately, and some thieves jumped up and tried to escape.

In particular, there were a few kneeling riders, who reacted very quickly and were about to jump up.

Minister Yang roared: "Execution, release!" ”

A row of firearms exploded, and the smoke rose like a dragon, and then all the thieves on that side rolled to the ground, and the thieves who jumped up were no exception. Most of them were killed on the spot, and occasionally the mournful wails of the thieves were heard.

The sound between heaven and earth seemed to be still, everyone watched, and the ninth master sighed: "Thunderbolt means, Fang Xian Bodhisattva's heart!" ”

Qian Sanniang's eyes glanced at Yang He, and Li Ruwan beside her carried an axe and said with a smile: "Happy, the master will serve Yang Xianggong." ”

Minister Yang shouted: "The sword spear hand stepped forward to inspect it. ”

Immediately, some ironclad guards and killer soldiers stepped forward to check, and the thieves who were not dead gave them another look.

The remaining more than 300 people gathered on the official road, and they were also tied behind their backs, all kneeling on the ground. The execution scene, they all saw it in their eyes, their faces were as white as earth, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and they just shouted for mercy.

Yang He looked at them and said lightly: "In the future, you need to keep to yourself and don't do anything wrong, otherwise these thieves will be your fate!" ”

Then Yang He looked around, this ambush battle was over, and after he and the others returned to Suining City, the officials and people in the city must be very surprised, right?

I don't know what the reaction will be?

Yang He couldn't help but smile, and he ordered: "Cut off all the heads of those thieves, bury their bodies, sort out and capture, and we will go back." ”

The cheers sounded, and soon everyone with rich trophies and laughter slowly disappeared into the official road.

Here, the grass is still barren.

……

Xie Junyou was dazed on the horse, and until now, he still felt like he was in a dream.

From narrowly escaping with his life to being dozens of miles away from that terrible mountain bag, he still hasn't figured out how he was defeated.

Still an unprecedented fiasco!

Looking at the remaining people and horses around him, Xie Junyou felt a faint pain in his heart, the number of these depressed people and horses can be as many as three hundred?

Especially among them, there are as many as fifty horsemen?

I thought that when I went to that small county town, I was full of spirit, a team of 1,080 horses, and a team of 1,000 horses, especially 500 people in the middle of the horse, what a strong force this is? But now, Xie Junyou's heart is like a knife, how will he explain it when he goes back?

Xie Junyou thought in a daze, thinking about the reason for his failure, thinking about it, only sighing.

He was careless, especially the strange sharpness of his opponent's firearms, which was even more unexpected to him.

He also remembered what Sun Youdonkey said, and now that he thought about it, he also felt that the townspeople on the mountain should not be multi-layered soldiers.

He was sighing and thinking, and suddenly he noticed that among the weeds on the right, there were a few horses sneaking into the team, and the figure of one of them was still very familiar.

Soon Xie Junyou let these horses come over, and there was a lean and sturdy man inside, his eyes dodging.

Looking at this man, Xie Junyou groaned: "You are Sun Youdonkey, donkey master?" ”

This title flattered Sun Youdonkey, he nodded and said, "It's the little one, Xie Dazhang, you...... You okay? ”

Xie Junyou sighed: "I regret not listening to you, in the future, you will follow our Lao Tzu." ”
