Section 4: Praying Mantis and Yellow Sparrows

After receiving Gu Xinghai's evacuation order, Gu Hu did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the 1,000 families scattered in the eight major farms to bring all the stored grain and grass, and immediately rushed to the blacksmith shop in the north of Shanxian County to meet.

Gu Hu rushed to the blacksmith shop in the north of the city with fifty family members at the first time, preparing to bring the weapons and equipment and baggage stored there back to the city. As soon as Gu Hu got off the horse, a man came to him, and he only heard him say: "Second young master, I have obeyed the master's order and loaded all the weapons, armor, iron, and tools in the blacksmith shop. ”

Gu Hu looked at the situation in the blacksmith shop and said, "Good job! Now go and gather your craftsmen, and in a moment you will follow me to the city. ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Hu was ready to look around. However, the man who spoke just now still stood still and did not move, and then said, "Second Young Master, is something wrong?" Why are you in such a hurry to get us to the city? ”

Gu Hu was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Qin Dashan! You are a poor sour blacksmith, a pig and a dog, and you dare to ask questions in front of this young master? You will do whatever Young Master Ben asks you to do, where did this nonsense come from! ”

After hearing the anger on his face, Qin Dashan was about to step forward to say a word or two, but he was stopped by his companions behind him, and everyone whispered persuasion, for fear that Qin Dashan would annoy Gu Hu.

Qin Dashan suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and left without saying a word with a few blacksmiths beside him.

Gu Hu stared at Qin Dashan's back and said fiercely: "Hmph! Cheap bones, I have nothing to do to come to Young Master Ben to beg for scolding! ”

At this moment, several family members hurriedly came over, and before they arrived, they shouted loudly: "Something happened to the second young master!" ”

Gu Hu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly shouted: "What is the noise! Speak closely! ”

The family Ding hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Second Young Master, the Hanwei Battalion has sent troops!" Now the families of each farm have been attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Hanwei battalion, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and all the grain and grass hoarded in the eight farms have been taken away by the Hanwei battalion! ”

Gu Hu was stunned on the spot, thinking: If his father knew about this, then he would not be stripped of his skin and cramped! When Gu Hu was at a loss for what to do, suddenly there was a sound of killing outside the blacksmith shop, and he saw a family member stumbling over and shouting: "Second Young Master is not good, Hanwei Camp has been killed!" ”

Gu Hu's blood suddenly surged, and he shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze!" Hurry up and protect me back to Shan County! ”

The surrounding dozen or so family members suddenly panicked, hurriedly helped Gu Hu to the war horse and protected him in the middle, and everyone hurriedly ran in the direction of Shanxian County, while the two hundred blacksmiths and all the materials in the blacksmith shop were all abandoned.

After a while, Wang Dangdang and Wang Bo led the soldiers of the Zhichong Department into the blacksmith shop, and slaughtered the remaining dozen or so Gu family members in a moment's effort. The two hundred blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop all gathered together and looked at the fierce officers and soldiers in front of them in great horror.

Wang Dangdang looked at the two hundred blacksmiths in front of him, and then looked at the iron and iron materials in the courtyard, and immediately laughed, and said to Wang Bo: "Haha, now we have made a fortune, with these craftsmen and iron materials, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort if the eldest brother builds firearms in the future!" ”

At this time, Qin Dashan on the side stepped forward boldly and said, "Dare to ask this general, what happened?" ”

Wang Dangdang glanced at Qin Dashan, and then said to the blacksmiths: "All of you listen, Gu Xinghai gathered a crowd to make a rebellion and captured the county seat of Shanxian County, we are the officers and soldiers who came to quell the chaos, don't panic." ”

When the blacksmiths heard this, they were shocked and feared that they would be implicated. Qin Dashan also hurriedly said: "This general Mingjian, we didn't participate in the rebellion of the Gu family, we just struck iron here." ”

"General Ben knows, don't panic." Then Wang Kangdang asked, "Do any of you know how to build firearms?" ”

Qin Dashan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Back to the general's words, we will only build swords, guns, and armor, as for firearms, we will not." ”

Wang Gandang and Wang Bo were a little disappointed when they heard this, and at this moment, a soldier came to report and said: "The general has sent a letter from the general, ordering me to transport all the captured to the camp after I get it." ”

Wang Dangdang nodded, and said to everyone: "Okay, now all you blacksmiths should go with me, as long as you are obedient, I will keep you safe." ”

About an hour later, Wang Gandang led his troops back to the Hanwei camp ten miles north of Shanxian County, while Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan, who went to the Eight Great Farms to rob grain, led their troops back to the camp first, and returned with 3,000 serfs from the Eight Farms.

Wang Dangdang saw that everyone had a lot of results, and said with a smile: "Haha, Kaishan, Tianhao, we have gained a lot this time, I estimate that Gu Xinghai will vomit blood after receiving the news!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Wang Bo on the side looked at the camp that seemed a little empty and asked, "Huh?" Why are there so many people missing from the camp? ”

At this time, Lu Ying came over with a smile and said, "Hehe, everyone is back?" All right! The eldest brother set off early in the morning with Po Lu and Hongguang, and now only me and Wu Xing are left behind in the camp. ”

"What did the eldest brother do with Po Yu and Hongguang?" Wang Gandang, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wang Bo all asked suspiciously.

Lu Ying said: "That Gu Xinghai thinks he has a plan, and wants to give us a trick to catch the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!" Didn't you notice that the Gu family's 2,000 horse team didn't appear from beginning to end? The eldest brother calculated that Gu Xinghai wanted to use these baggage as bait, and use the two thousand horse team as the backhand to kill us by surprise! Therefore, the eldest brother set off early in the morning with all the iron horses of our Hanwei Battalion, and also wanted to give Gu Xinghai a trick to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind! ”

After listening to this, Zhao Kaishan said: "Then who is the yellow finch and who is the praying mantis?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Tianhao on the side said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who is the yellow finch and who is the praying mantis, the important thing is that Gu Xinghai lost all the games this time!" The eldest brother's Longxiang Department, the Changshui Department of the Broken Prisoners, and the Yingyang Department of Hongguang have a total of more than 1,300 iron horses, which are the forces that Jiannu dare not provoke easily, and the two thousand horse teams of the Gu family can be said to be dead. ”

Lu Ying also nodded, and said approvingly: "That's right, the eldest brother wants to defeat all the Gu family's forces outside Shanxian County with the momentum of a tiger pounceing on the rabbit, so that Gu Xinghai will be terrified when he sees the battle flag of our Hanwei Battalion!" ”

While everyone was talking, Wu Xing came over in heavy armor, still holding a long knife that was as tall as a person, and said, "Everyone is back?" Just right! Lu Ying, the soldiers are ready, let's start acting according to the big brother's plan. ”

Lu Ying nodded, then looked at the people who were full of doubts, and said: "The eldest brother left the next battle plan before leaving, and after ordering all the men and horses who attacked to return, all the captured ones were left in the camp, and the headquarters was guarded by Master Chen's baggage, and all the rest of the soldiers and horses immediately went to Shanxian County to besiege the city." ”

After speaking, everyone was in high spirits, thinking: "It seems that the eldest brother wants to lead the army to attack the county seat of Shanxian after solving the Gu family's horse team, and now he can kill the Quartet!" ”

Who knew that Lu Ying said next: "I know what you are thinking, but don't guess, now there are 4,000 members of the Gu family in Shanxian County, and even if we can capture Shanxian County, we will suffer heavy casualties, so the eldest brother strictly ordered us to only besiege the city and not attack." ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately unhappy, and Zhao Kaishan said directly: "Then what are we going to do all the way?" We don't have much time to play with the sea of stars here. ”

Lu Ying smiled and said, "Haha, don't forget that this is Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, this is the land of the imperial court!" There are more than us in the official army of the imperial court. The eldest brother had already sent someone to inform Lord Zhang Yuxing, the commander of the city guard, last night, and I believe that it won't be long before Lord Zhang will surprise us. ”

After listening to Lu Ying's words, everyone was completely dead, it turned out that they really just went to besiege the city.

Lu Ying looked at everyone's regretful expressions and said, "Okay, this battle is all expected by the eldest brother, the eldest brother has made comprehensive arrangements, let's just do what we want." Everyone hurry up and straighten out the soldiers and horses, and after half an hour, the whole army will set off for Shanxian! ”

Everyone received orders one after another and hurriedly went to straighten out their subordinates.

At the same time, Shanxian is five miles east of it.

Liu Yunwei, Wen Poyu, and Gao Hongguang rode horses in front of the formation, and more than 1,300 iron cavalry soldiers behind them lined up and waited, imitating

If a group of dragons stand proudly in all directions, it is daunting; On the opposite side of the Hanwei Battalion's Iron Cavalry, there was a team of two thousand Gu family horses, Gu Long was watching the battle alone in front of the formation, and the two thousand family members behind him were also extraordinary, far more elite than the people and horses of the Wenxiang Sect.

Whether it was Liu Yunwei or Gu Long, both sides were looking at each other carefully at this time, hoping to see something from the other party's military formation. However, it is a pity that both sides are elite divisions in terms of military appearance and formation. It's just that who is the real material and who is the embroidered pillow can only be seen on the battlefield!

Liu Yunwei and Gu Long observed each other for a while, and then they both gave orders to prepare for battle, and thousands of iron horsemen on both sides began to form their final formation. At this time, the battle formations of the two sides were ready to attack, and in addition to the neighing of war horses, only the sound of hunting with military flags fluttering in the wind was left on the battlefield. A life-and-death battle is on the verge of breaking out.
