Chapter 65: The Sword

Now I hear that the local rioters even rob the displaced people who have just been resettled, and you must know that many of the displaced people are relatives of the cavalry brigade, so at least there is no need to worry about the cavalry brigade. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan helped the local tyrant to excuse himself and said: "I'm right, if the Liukou doesn't produce for a long time, he will inevitably sit on the mountain, and in the end, he will inevitably kill each other."

Let's think about it, this time the local rioters even robbed their former brothers, mainly because of the lack of food.

Since occupying Bazhou last year, although more than 100,000 loads of grain have been obtained, the local rioters have been short of food for a year.

In order to eat, don't talk about those homeless people in the past, even Yao Tiandong Huanglong's father can't take care of it. ”

When everyone heard this, they shouted and scolded loudly, especially Ma Chao, who shouted loudly to fight with Huang Long, Zhang Xian and others.

However, the local tyrants are known as more than 10,000, and the official army is insufficient but 6 rounds of soldiers and horses, and the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, and everyone still has no bottom in their hearts.

Ma Chao was born in the past, and he was also a leader among the local rioters, and he knew a lot about the situation of the local rioters.

Just like the Eighth Route Army in the previous life, in addition to the main force, it also included local county brigades, militias, and revolutionary masses.

The same is true of the composition of the local rioters, in addition to the personal soldiers personally controlled by the various leaders, but also the ordinary young people who are reorganized, and the displaced people who are carried in.

The elite of the soil tyrant generally only accounts for about one or two percent, and its soldiers are not outlaws, capable fighters, or officers and soldiers who have surrendered to the past, they are well-equipped, everyone is basically wearing armor, holding bird guns, longbows, broadswords, spears, they are the main force of the soil riots, personally controlled by the big and small masters, regarded as the root of life, often suddenly on the battlefield, to give the other party a fatal blow.

In addition to the pro-soldiers, a little bit of combat effectiveness is the cannon fodder unit composed of the general young and strong, composed of young and strong, they take the flag as the order, everyone desperately follows behind the flag, create momentum, or entangle the officers and soldiers on the battlefield, and win the fighter plane for the elite soldiers of the local tyrant on the battlefield, this kind of person generally accounts for three or four percent.

The most are the displaced people who were coerced, or the dependents of the army, which accounted for about four or five percent of the local rioters, and after the local rioters rose in popularity, everyone followed, and when the officials and soldiers were very urgent, or when the local rioters were far away, they were often abandoned. They mainly helped the mob to repair their armor, transport their baggage, and cause chaos when necessary.

……

Everyone listened attentively, and some suddenly realized, no wonder the people of the earth riots have skyrocketed so rapidly, one hundred today, and one thousand tomorrow.

It is no wonder that sometimes they feel that the local rioters are about to collapse at the touch of a button and are vulnerable, and sometimes they feel that the local rioters are powerful and quite tricky to fight.

After finding out the details of the other party, Yang Xuan was quite interested in the other party's military system, and there was no doubt that Liukou's military system was very realistic and very competitive.

The Liukou have strong combat effectiveness, mainly because of their military system, which can be said to be clearly hierarchical.

The leaders of the rogue and the big and small used their limited money to build up a formidable armed force, and the main forces led by the various leaders were like fish in water among the cannon fodder troops composed of young and strong people and the masses of the people composed of homeless people, while the officers and soldiers were completely confused.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers, in the past, recruited soldiers in the past, and now recruit soldiers, are completely eating from a big pot of rice, doing good and bad work, and there is no competition mechanism.

In the face of the rogues, in the past, the guards often collapsed at the touch of a button, not only could not fight, but harmed the villagers.

Although the combat effectiveness of the current recruitment has been improved, the expenditure is very large (6 yuan and silver taels per month at the beginning, and 8 yuan after the regular payment in March), and there is no competition.

It seems that recruitment alone is not an option, and in the future it is necessary to diversify the sources of soldiers.

Yang Xuan was thinking about it while listening to everyone talking about how to break the enemy and win, according to the views of Guo Chonglie, Ma Chao and others, it was better to run a long distance and kill the other party by surprise.

However, Chen Yingzong, Chen Huaixi, Pan Mengke and others disagreed, saying that there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and there were more than 2,000 elite soldiers on the soil tyrants, and there was a huge difference in the strength of the two sides.

While listening, Yang Xuan lowered his head in contemplation, and suddenly raised his head and stared at a shop in front of him, the banner outside the shop was displayed, and he pointed and asked, "Township Chief Wang, this, what is this shop selling?" ”

Everyone stopped and looked at Yang Xuan strangely, Wang Rimeng was puzzled: "My lord, it is clearly written on the flag, it is a tung oil shop, which specializes in selling tung oil."

People in the mountains need tung oil for lighting at night.

The head of the family is an oiler, who picks up the fruit, refines it into essential oil, and sells it to the surrounding villagers to earn silver taels and make a living. ”

Yang Xuan smiled, Pan Mengke next to him was the first to react, took three or two entourages to find the shopkeeper, and asked him to ask questions in the teahouse, what was surprising was that there were four or five loads of tung oil in the store.

Yang Xuan thought about it, but still thought that there was too little tung oil, and the shopkeeper saw that the government was ready to buy all the tung oil, and claimed that if it was too much, it could be refined on the spot, as long as more people were sent, there would be no problem in refining four or five loads a day.

Yang Xuan was overjoyed and ordered everyone to set up camp and sit in the shade to rest.

A secret sentry was sent four or five miles ahead to prevent the news of the army's return to the division from leaking, so that the local rioters could be prepared.

Detectives were sent to Yilong County to find out the deployment of the local rioters' forces and the situation of the battle in the past two days.

Let Pan Mengke take someone to help the shopkeeper smelt tung oil, and let people scoop up the tung oil and put it into the bamboo tube, and then seal it.

Let Wang Rimeng contact the surrounding township chiefs, Li Changjia or something, so that everyone can gather the villagers to do foreign aid.

……..

Everyone was nervously preparing, Yang Xuan was lying on the recliner, closing his eyes and recuperating, but the big battle was imminent, and he was nervous in his heart, for fear of missing something, how could he sleep?

Over and over again, I recalled the personality of the generals under my command and the tasks they might undertake.

Over and over again, recalling the geographical environment around Yilong County, the deployment of the local tyrants' troops, how can they defeat the enemy?

Just when Yang Xuan was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a fragrance coming from his face, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be Wang Ying (Zhu Shuying's pseudonym, in order to avoid identity leakage, Zhu Shuying claimed that his surname was Wang, his name was Ying).

After more than ten days of traveling, during which more than 100 Mongolian cavalry were surrounded and annihilated, everyone was sleepy and disheveled, but what was strange was that this Wang Ying did not look like a fleeing at all.

Marching every day, Zhu Shuying must be invited by Yang Xuan, if he doesn't go that day, he will hide with the maid Qiuyue and cry.

After walking a few steps, he shouted that he couldn't walk, causing Yang Xuan to vacate his precious horse and arrange for two riders to hold the reins of the horse, so that he was willing to go on the road.

As soon as I arrived at a place, I had to arrange for someone to freshen up, and it was very annoying to toss for a long time.

Seeing that Zhu Shuying is so pampered, Pan Mengke and Chen Huaixi have asked Yang Xuan to throw each other down many times, and now that the army is in chaos, then is she still in the mood to take care of the eldest lady who is so tormented?

But Yang Xuan is from modern times, of course, he is not as arrogant to women as men in this era, plus there is a plot of heroes saving the beauty and escaping together, seeing that the other party is pitiful, so he endures his inner dissatisfaction and is satisfied one by one.

Now seeing that the other party was wearing a light veil and was walking up to him nervously, Yang Xuan opened his eyes and sighed: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Now the war is about to go, and the first will be the first. Marching and fighting is different from the eldest lady's home life.

The eldest lady's family is a famous Shujin businessman in Chengdu, and she is used to being prosperous and rich, but now I can't do anything about it. ”

With a little teardrop in the corner of her eyes, Wang Ying shook her head and said: "General, you, you, are you a concubine who hates it, and every time the general sees a concubine, he feels unhappy?"

Sitting up straight, Yang Xuan took the other party's little hand and comforted: "Alas, Ying'er, it's not what you think?" I heard your maid Qiuyue say that in the past, you lived in a big yard, your parents loved you, and you had fine clothes and food every day.

Besides, the march is hard every day, the reluctance to walk has to ride a horse, and the camp is boiling hot water and bathing every day, all of this is nothing?

To tell you the truth, I was very unaccustomed to this kind of barracks life in the past, even if the scenery along the way was very good and there was no pollution, I really couldn't get used to it.

But Ying'er, what's the solution? Heaven actually threw us in this place where birds don't, so what can be done? We only have endless fun fighting with the sky and the earth. ”

With her eyes wide open, Wang Ying looked at Yang Xuan suspiciously, and said puzzledly: "My lord, you, you jump up and down every day, you, you, aren't you suitable for this military life?" ”

Feeling that he was speechless, Yang Xuan hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank two sips to cover himself, put down the teacup for a long time and said: "Alas, Ying'er, I used to be a scholar, although I like to dance with guns and sticks, but how can I get used to this kind of life for a while?"

Ying'er, you used to be the daughter of a rich and noble family, how can you get used to living like this?

Besides, Zhang Xianzhong has no news of your relatives in breaking the city, and when you suddenly encounter such a major event, no matter how strong you are, you will be crushed.

But Ying'er, no matter what, life has to go on, I think Ling Zun Lingtang also wants to see you happy, not like the other day?"

Wang Ying was quite moved in her heart, with tears in her eyes, she actually sobbed.

Yang Xuan had no choice but to pull her to his side and keep patting her shoulder to comfort her.

After a long time, the other party stopped crying, looked at Yang Xuan with tears in his eyes, and said with emotion: "General, the concubine is too bad, the general has been sincere to the concubine for half a month, the concubine actually lied to the general, general, you won't ignore Ying'er because of this, right?" ”

Touching his back with his hand, Yang Xuan comforted: "Ying'er, you are a kind girl, I don't think you are sincere in deceiving, right?"

Anyone has a story, and for various reasons, we can't tell it to others, and since that's the case, then we choose to rot in the stomach.

Isn't that what this is like now? As long as we are calm with each other in the future, it is okay not to deceive each other. ”

Wang Ying's eyes widened, and she looked at Yang Xuan puzzled: "General, you, are you really not a concubine to deceive you?" ”

Holding his little hand in the palm of his hand and patting it gently, Yang Xuan said: "Ying'er, the important thing is not to deceive me in the future, let alone harm me." ”

Wang Ying hugged Yang Xuan's neck, shook her head again and again, and said, "General, you are the life-saving benefactor of the concubine, the concubine would rather lose her life, how can she harm the general?"

General, the concubine is a last resort, for the sake of the general's good, and I have to hide it from you for the time being.

General, as long as there is a day, the concubine will tell the truth.

The general can rest assured that the concubine will definitely bring a lot of wealth to the general in the future. ”

Great wealth? Yang Xuan laughed, patted Wang Ying's shoulder and said, "What is rich or not?" Now that the war is in chaos, I just want to live in the chaos of times.

Wealth is important, more important is one's own life, if there is no life, if the relatives suffer again, what is the benefit of being rich and rich? ”

Wang Ying let go of Yang Xuan's neck and looked at Yang Xuan in confusion, so much so that she almost swore an oath, so that she stopped.

After a long time, Wang Ying raised her head, put her face in front of Yang Xuan's face, stared at Yang Xuan's eyes and said: "General, Wang Gao said that the general has a fiancΓ©e, his wife is beautiful and generous, and he is very good to the general. ”

Yang Xuan was slightly stunned, Huang Daiyun's slender and graceful appearance appeared in front of him, Yang Xuan suddenly felt upset, and hugged Wang Ying in his arms, hoping to use each other's body temperature to slightly reduce their fear of the future.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Ying got up from her side with a shyness on her face, and after getting dressed again, she handed the sword to Yang Xuan and said, "General, this, this sword is my family's ancestral heirloom, sharpening iron like clay, it is a sharp weapon on the battlefield."

General, this, this is for your self-defense, right? ”

Yang Xuan was stunned in his heart, shook his head and said, "Xiao Ying, since this sword is your ancestral heirloom, I, how can I accept it?" Besides, now that the war is in chaos, you are a weak woman, and you need a sword to defend yourself. ”

Wang Ying glared at the other party, and said with displeasure: "General, I am already your person, and mine is yours, what are you refusing to do?"

Although the general is superior, his martial arts are ordinary, this, this, I will give it to you for self-defense. ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, took the sword, pulled it out to watch, heard the thin friction sound, and carefully examined the sword, which was about one and a half feet long, particularly light, and slightly emitted a burst of cold light.

Wang Ying was very happy, and pulled a hair from the other party's head and put it on the blade, and the hair fell lightly on it, and it was immediately broken in two.

Seeing that the other party was dumbfounded, he brought a piece of iron, and without much force, the piece of iron was broken into two parts.
