Chapter 198: A Sudden Battle
Wang Shoucheng secretly scolded Chao Gai for being cunning, obviously wanting to help him, but he didn't say it clearly, and sent a businessman to deal with him, obviously because he didn't want to help in vain. Wang Shoucheng's generals accompanied Chao Gai and others to drink, and Wang Shoucheng and Hu Cheng went to the side to discuss business.
"There is an urgent need for spears, knives, shields, armor, bows and arrows, crossbows, as well as food, herbs, and so on." Wang Shoucheng said to Hu Cheng.
Hu Cheng said: "How much does General Wang plan to want?" ”
"The more the merrier, at least a thousand sets of each." Wang Shoucheng Road.
"Do you have so many soldiers, besides, I'm just a merchant, I can get ordinary spears, knives, and shields, but armor, bows and arrows, and giant crossbows are not for sale, so you might as well find another way." Hu Cheng said.
Wang Shoucheng is also talking nonsense, he can't eat so many things, not to mention that he can't recruit so many people, Wang Shoucheng thought for a while and said: "I have to form a team of 2,000 people at least, 1,000 spears, 1,000 swords, 1,000 shields, and I can't be less." It doesn't matter if it's too troublesome to transport the grain, but there must be more medicinal materials, at least three or five thousand catties, mainly medicinal materials for treating external injuries. ”
Hu Cheng asked his entourage to immediately make a manifest, a thousand spears, a thousand swords, and a thousand shields. There are 5,000 catties of herbs for the treatment of trauma, as well as some auxiliary products such as gauze bandages. There are more than 30,000 yuan, mainly because the price of weapons and medicinal materials is expensive.
Wang Shoucheng looked at the price and shook his head directly: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it at all, this price is more than double the market price." ”
"We have to travel thousands of miles from the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the various risks at sea, let's just say that the war is raging in this Goryeo, and our merchants selling you materials are equivalent to supporting you, if you let your opponent catch our indispensable fight, although it is a business, but it is also a business on the belt of the head, those who work hard will be paid, and those who work hard will naturally be paid blood."
Wang Shoucheng laughed: "Haha, that's right. It's a terrible deal, but I really don't have so much money in my hand, or I'll give you an IOU, and when I win the battle and become the king of Goryeo, I'll pay you back many times. ”
Hu Cheng shook his head: "There are rules for being our maritime businessman, one hand of money and one hand of goods, and two clear money and goods are deals." It doesn't matter if you don't have money, wood, Korean ginseng, and fur, if you don't have any of these, then you can help us recruit some female workers to go to Shinjeju Island to farm, and each female worker recruited will give you a Pu knife as a reward. ”
Wang Shoucheng thought for a while: "Then exchange Korean ginseng and wood." ”
"Okay, deal."
The specific details were discussed for a long time by Wang Shoucheng, and considering that Wang Shoucheng was in urgent need of weapons, he handed over the weapons to Wang Shoucheng after Wang Shoucheng delivered some Korean ginseng. Wang Shoucheng's reputation in the local area was also really great, and he immediately recruited 2,000 strong men, 1,000 pikemen, and a Pu sword and shield soldier. Although these strong men are not trained, they have a deterrent effect in their hands.
Wang Shoucheng and Chao Gai exchanged the art of war, don't look at Wang Shoucheng's repeated defeats on New Jeju Island, but after all, he is a half-life horse, and he still has experience.
Wang Shoucheng looked at the two handsome young men beside Chao Gai, Lu Fang and Luo Yun, and asked Chao Gai: "How are these two martial arts?" ”
Chao Gai introduced: "Lu Fang used Fang Tian to draw halberds, and his martial arts are very good. Luo Yun uses a spear and has outstanding marksmanship, and both of them are medium masters. ”
Wang Shoucheng shook his head in disbelief, after all, these two people were both small-looking, and they didn't look so powerful.
While they were talking, they suddenly heard the short horn whining, and although Chao Gai did not understand the horn orders of the Goryeo people, they all showed that something was happening in roughly the same hurry. Sure enough, Wang Shoucheng's face changed slightly when he heard the sound of the horn, and it didn't take long for the herald to arrive, muttering to Wang Shoucheng for a while.
Wang Shoucheng said to Chao Gai: "Someone is coming to attack, you rest here first, and then come back when I have repelled the enemy." ”
"Anyway, it's idle, it's better to go with you, we just don't show up." Chao Gai said.
"Okay, let's go with us." Wang Shoucheng said.
The city of Wang Shoucheng is just a big town, and the city wall is only as high as the courtyard wall of ordinary large families, so it is worthless to defend the city wall, not to mention that it is not the troops of the Goryeo court that come, but a large household adjacent to the territory of Wang Shoucheng, which is a supporter loyal to the new king of Goryeo, called Park Ceylon, and I don't know what it means, anyway, it is such a powerful landlord, and it makes sense for him to fight Wang Shoucheng, because the two lands border, A few years ago, the two families fought and died because of the land issue. The people supported by the Park family are different from the people supported by the Wang family, if the Wang family is the first to destroy the Park family once it gains power, so the contradictions are difficult to reconcile, and it is precisely because of this that the Park family is the first to strike and prepare to destroy the Wang family.
In front of the two armies, Wang Shoucheng organized a thousand soldiers, mainly infantry, only a cavalry team of less than 100 people, and there were many generals of the Wang family, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom were the nephews of Wang Shoucheng. Chao Gai followed Wang Shoucheng, and Jiao Ting, Lu Fang, Luo Yun and others escorted him.
I saw that the team of the Park family on the opposite side was disheveled, all of them were dressed as farmers, but everyone had weapons in their hands, and the guys in the back couldn't see clearly, just from the front row, they saw that there were all kinds of weapons such as Pu knives, spears, steel forks, shields, etc., and there were quite a few people, it seemed that there were 1,500 people, 500 more than the people brought by Wang Shoucheng. The more than 1,000 people of the Park family were in the same disheveled clothes, except for the dozens of cavalry and armor in front, the others were all ordinary farmers.
The Koreans don't look small, they are actually quite ruthless, and the Park family on the opposite side sent a knight with a steel knife in his hand to come over and grunt. The king guarded the city for a while, and immediately a knight holding a steel fork flew out of the formation. The two sides don't talk nonsense, as soon as they meet, they start fighting, steel fork to steel knife, cut straight to spark, three rounds passed, the Park family took a steel knife and knocked open the steel fork, a knife flew up, cut off the head of the steel fork, this person jumped off the horse and picked up the head and hung it on the horse's neck, behind the Park family team cheered, and the soldiers shouted one by one with their weapons held high.
Wang Shoucheng's morale was a little low, after all, it was his own side that defeated. Wang Shoucheng's face sank like water, and he planned to send someone up again to win this person.
Next to Chao Gai, Lu Fang had some itchy hands and said to Chao Gai: "I have also practiced for so long, but there are few opportunities for actual combat, so it is better to let me fight." ”
Chao Gai said: "Okay, be careful about everything, and don't underestimate the enemy. ”
Chao Gai said to Wang Shoucheng: "I, a young general, want to meet this person in the past." ”
"Okay." Wang Shoucheng was happy for Chao Gai's people to intervene in this matter.
Lu Fang casually changed into the clothes of the tall beauty, rode a war horse and waved Fang Tian's halberd to the front of the formation, and did not speak, Fang Tian's halberd was distracted and stabbed, the man's steel knife was opened, the two sides fought in one place, and the knives and guns fought for more than a dozen rounds, Lu Fang was still a little uncomfortable at first, but he quickly became familiar with the other party's routine, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's steel knife to go away, Fang Tian's halberd went straight to this person's chest, the tip of the gun pierced in, poof, the armor of the cowhide couldn't resist Fang Tian's halberd and stabbed him directly.
Lu Fang didn't take the opponent's head, and ran back and forth on the position with Fang Tian's halberd, and Wang Shoucheng saw this and asked everyone to beat the drums. There was another person in the Park family, this person was even worse, but he was stabbed under the horse by Lu Fang in five rounds.
Chao Gai Mingjin asked Lu Fang to come back quickly, and Lu Fang was very excited to come back, as if he had won the jackpot.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a giant coming out of the camp of the Pu family, this person can be two meters tall, just look at the block is more than ten centimeters taller than Chao Gai, he does not wear armor on the battlefield, he holds an iron rod in his hand, and he is scolding and screaming there. Wang Shoucheng frowned when he saw it, obviously this person had a headache, and immediately flew out and rode straight towards the giant with a steel knife. The giant did not dodge or dodge, the iron rod in his hand opened, slammed the handle, knocked down with a stick, and the men and horses fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
On the camp of Wang Shoucheng, everyone was afraid and did not dare to step forward. Next to Chao Gai, Luo Yun said, "What will happen if I go?" ”
"Okay, you go, you can only fight with wits but not with strength, and once you lose the enemy, retreat immediately." Chao cover.
Wang Shoucheng was very happy, Luo Yun next to Chao Gai went to fight, although Luo Yun changed his clothes, he still looked very good with a white horse and a silver gun. Luo Yun knew that he didn't fight at all, so he immediately flew over, and the war horse circled around this giant, fortunately, Luo Yun's silver spear was relatively long, flying up and down, and it was a bit of a hurry to kill, but soon, the giant adapted to Luo Yun's style of play, and the big iron rod suddenly changed its moves, picked up from bottom to top, and hit Luo Yun's silver spear. Luo Yun only felt that the tiger's mouth hurt, and it was still too late to retreat, the giant's big iron rod smashed on the head, and this stick was not a human head, even if it was a stone, it could be broken into pieces.
At this moment, the giant suddenly turned around and blocked it with an iron rod, and it turned out to be a feathered arrow flying in, which shot at the giant's iron rod with a ding, and then deflected to the giant's shoulder. The giant was in pain and stopped. Luo Yun planned to take the opportunity to kill it, but who knew that the giant gritted his teeth and pulled out the feather arrow, and hit Luo Yun again with an iron rod, Luo Yun did not dare to fight Pegasus again.
Luo Yun's face was flushed, both frightened and ashamed, and said to Chao Gai: "Thank you, brother." ”
Chao Gai asked Luo Yun to return to the team to rest, and then said to Wang Shoucheng: "There is someone in your team who can defeat this person." ”
Wang Shoucheng had a difficult face and said, "This manpower is infinite, and it is very fierce, and it is difficult to deal with." ”
Chao Gai said: "If you don't defeat this person, your morale won't be able to rise, I'll deal with him." ”
Immediately, Chao Gai urged the war horse to come to the front of the formation with the golden dragon swallowing halberd in his hand, and asked, "Big man, what's your name." ”
Chao Gai also asked unintentionally, forgetting that this was Goryeo.
