Chapter 150: Beyond Measure
Xu Xian woke up and felt that his head hurt very much, and he immediately remembered the meeting with Bai Suzhen yesterday.
"Huh? Why did I fall asleep? No, she must have done something to me, otherwise how could I fall asleep so quickly? I was also covered with a quilt...... Alas! This careless lady, when she came to the barracks, she didn't think about the consequences first, how can I get along with you in the future, let me tell you that I already knew your identity? It's really difficult. ”
Just when Xu Xian felt annoyed in his heart, Du Yong's voice came from outside: "My lord, the soldiers are already lined up neatly, do you want to continue training today or do you have any other arrangements?" ”
Xu Xian walked out of the dormitory and looked at Du Yong, who was dressed in a military uniform at this time and looked very energetic.
"Pass the order, all the soldiers will first sort out the queue, pull out the camp today, and prepare to attack the mountain!" Xu Xian said.
"Huh?" Du Yong was surprised, "My lord, this is ...... Attacking the mountain? Was it too rushed? ”
Xu Xian said: "On the first day of coming to Qingyang Mountain, I should lead the troops to attack the mountain, but I haven't attacked it yet, that is because the training of the soldiers is not enough, since they have been training for two days, and the soldiers are familiar with the surrounding environment, they should always go to attack the mountain, right?" ”
Du Yong commanded: "Yes, my lord, I will arrange it!" ”
If you want to say that Du Yong's work efficiency is okay, plus the people in Du Jiazhai listen to him, it doesn't take a long time, he will sort out the team on his side, and even the indigenous soldiers in the city are also tidying up, and everyone is lining up, waiting for Xu Xian's review.
When Xu Xian arrived in front of everyone, all the soldiers looked at him, in fact, there were less than a hundred soldiers, and Xu Xian could almost call everyone's name.
"My lord, you're going to attack the mountain today?" Liu Bingtou, as the "old seniority" among these people, heard that he was going to attack Qingyang Village, and he was a little frightened, so he came out to ask questions on behalf of the soldiers.
Xu Xian said: "What, when I heard that I was going to attack the mountain, I was timid one by one and didn't dare to go into battle?" ”
Liu Bingtou smiled bitterly: "My lord, the people below have no intention of being deserters, but they are afraid that the preparation is not sufficient......"
"I've been training for a while, and you don't like to hear it, but now even if you are defeated and become a deserter, and you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, you still don't dare to go up the mountain? If this battle can't be won smoothly, you can't escape, and the official doesn't use a rope to tie you anyway! Xu Xian looked disdainful.
The soldiers in Yanshan County looked at each other one by one, they didn't expect Xu Xian to say it so directly.
Because they are so direct, they don't know what to say.
Xu Xian said: "This time it is not Heifeng Village, Qingyang Village is the most powerful bandit in Yanshan County, the military discipline in the cottage is strict, so the subsequent attack on the mountain, you must obey the order, if the army is defeated, you should be a deserter, the official will not blame you, but if you escape without starting a war, the official will directly cut off your head!" ”
"This won't, this won't ......," Liu Bingtou said.
Xu Xian sneered and said: "No, what are you waiting for, go to the camp first, and you will attack Qingyang Village immediately!" ”
……
……
Qingyang Village experienced the assassination of the sixth owner of the village last night, so that the people of Qingyang Village did not sleep well all night, and finally the owner of the village, Song Henghuan, also listened to Zhu Niangzi's opinion, and did not kill the sixth child immediately, but to think about it in the long run.
Early in the morning, Song Henghuan was still asking people to heal him, and someone here came to communicate: "Owner of the village, it's not good, the officials and soldiers of Yanshan County have come up the mountain!" ”
"What?" Song Henghuan couldn't believe his ears, he suddenly stood up, glared at the person who reported it, and said in an almost questioning tone, "That Zhixian surnamed Xu is crazy?" How dare you bring a hundred and ten people to attack my Qingyang Village? Oops......"
This excitement was affected by the injury on his waist last night, so he gritted his teeth and shouted.
While talking, Zhu Niangzi and the main boss and helmsman in the cottage entered the meeting hall, Zhu Niangzi said: "Don't be too excited, since the new Zhixian came with troops, he should have expected that he would attack the mountain, but he played tricks under the mountain for two days, perhaps because he realized that we did not intend to send troops, and his poisonous plan to set up an ambush failed, so he took the soldiers to the mountain gate to provoke!" ”
Lord Han Helm came out and said, "What should I do?" ”
Song Henghuan said angrily: "Let's go out first and see, what kind of reputation the official army is doing!" ”
When Song Henghuan took the people in the cottage to the main gate of the camp, he waited on the high platform in the camp for nearly an hour, but he didn't see a figure yet.
"What's going on?" Someone next to him was muttering.
Lord Han Helm said disdainfully: "From the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, there are at least ten miles of road, and those wine bags and rice bags of the official army are enough for them to drink a pot!" ”
Zhu Niangzi said: "Don't speak, people are coming!" ”
Everyone looked along the road north of the walled city, but seeing the officers and soldiers lining up to go up the mountain, the ranks were also orderly, Zhu Niangzi said: "These officers and soldiers are still a little majestic, and they are much more orderly than the local officials and soldiers in Yanshan County that I have seen before!" ”
"So you can't underestimate them!" Song Henghuan said, "Heifeng Village is not a weak force in Yanshan County, and there are many people and livestock, but in the end, it was not taken down by these people without much effort?" We can't be careless! ”
Lord Han Helm asked: "The official army has just arrived, taking advantage of their unstable foothold, it is time to send troops to attack them, please transfer 200 people to me, and I will go and pacify these officers and soldiers!" ”
"Nonsense!" Song Henghuan was originally unhappy because of the betrayal of the sixth child, and now the young people under his command did not listen to him, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, "I said, without the order of the owner of the village, it is absolutely not allowed to mess around, and you don't have to ask for your life, in the eyes of the owner of the village, no matter what tricks the officials and soldiers do, as long as this battle is not fought, they will naturally retreat, which is the best result for the cottage!" ”
Han Duo said: "Second master, you say something!" ”
Zhu Niangzi looked at Lord Han Helm, then at Song Henghuan, shook her head and said: "The words of the big boss are orders, since the big boss is not allowed to go out of the village to fight, you will wait first!" ”
While speaking, the soldiers and horses led by Xu Xian have arrived less than three hundred steps away from Qingyang Village, which is also the limit of the range of the bow and crossbow, Xu Xian ordered to form a formation in situ, there will be shield soldiers in the front row to defend, and crossbowmen are ready at any time behind the shield soldiers, and there are spearmen and sword soldiers in the back ready to fight at any time.
At the same time, Xu Xian also asked people to start digging pits, preparing to set up tripwires on the spot to prevent cavalry from rushing out to break up the formation in Qingyang Village.
"These officers and soldiers are really arrogant!" Lord Han was very angry in his heart, and the same mood as him were the young villagers next to him.
(Happy New Year's Day to all!) You and I go together. )
