A soldier hurriedly came, and when Dong Youyin saw it, he said:

"It's a soldier under Yoko, it seems that there is news."

During the conversation, the recruit had already run to the front, bent down and hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Qianqian, Huang Whistle caught the salt pole of Yangma Island, and Liu Bei seems to be among them." ”

Because there was no mountain bell, several soldiers who were exploring the road were intercepted by the bandits, Huang Yang then led a sentry to clear the horses, originally Wang Zheng was waiting for the news of Huang Yang's purging of the bandits, but he didn't expect to meet Liu Bei here.

Deng Heizi wondered: "The people of Yangma Island, how did they go so far?" ”

After being surprised, Wang Zheng frowned and thought about it carefully.

Heizi is right, he obviously firmly controlled the salt goods on Yangma Island, and even let a large team of descendants of salt Ding stay on the riverbank, and just a few days before the expedition, he also detained several large quantities of salt goods transported from Yangma Island to Jinghaiwei.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng turned around and said:

"Take my hurry back to Wendeng, let Shao Yong go to Jinshanzuo immediately, and ask Niu Pingliang what is going on, how can Liu Bei run so far?"

"It's all at the Jinshui River, wouldn't it be easy to think of Wendeng next time!?"

The chief behind him was already expressionless, but after hearing Wang Zheng's order, his face was squeezed together, and he realized the importance of this matter, and immediately hugged his fists and said:

"If you understand it, you must bring the words!"

Seeing Shi Chang riding on his horse and galloping away without looking back, Wang Zheng gave another order and led people to the woods, where he saw the salt poles of the two hundred or so Yangma Island that were detained on the ground.

Seeing the person in charge, Wang Zheng said lightly: "Liu Dongjia, Cheng Haixuan farewell, how are you doing now?" ”

"Hmph."

Liu Bei looked at the nouveau riche with an expression on his face, and snorted:

"Thanks to your Lord Wang, I'm living a happy life!"

Huang Yang frowned after hearing Liu Bei's words, and didn't need Wang Zheng to speak at all, he directly raised his foot and kicked over, only to hear Liu Bei's howl like killing a pig, and fell into a dog gnawing mud.

"What to do, what to do with these people?"

Dong Youyin smiled, but this smile was slightly hideous in the eyes of those kneeling poles:

"In my opinion, it's useless to keep these people, and I can't say that I have to ventilate the water thieves, so it's better to... All killed and threw corpses in the wilderness. ”

Dong Youyin's voice was very loud, and Liu Bei and the poles in his hands heard these words word for word, and all the people at the moment were shocked and frightened, crying and begging for mercy.

After speaking, Dong Youyin glanced at Wang Zheng, saw that Wang Zheng was groaning, and turned his inquiring gaze to Huang Yang, this time the two of them were surprisingly in the same tone.

Wang Zheng saw Huang Yang's expression, turned his head sideways and said:

"What about Kuroko and Ryoko, you two don't have anything to say?"

"My lord, Youyin is right this time, these poles have done no less bad things outside, and killing them can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!" Kuroko pondered for a long time, and suddenly said.

Gao Liang followed with a nod.

"Okay, Huang Yang, I'll leave this matter to you, the body is buried, otherwise there will be an epidemic and harm the surrounding people, but it will be your fault and mine."

Huang Yang immediately clenched his fists: "Don't worry, I'll do it!" ”

Looking at those salt poles who kept begging for mercy, Wang Zheng suddenly thought of something and said:

"Here you are today, there is silver, and you will set up camp in the woods with your men."

After Dong Youyin nodded, Wang Zheng continued:

"Kuroko, you take someone to the forest to look for it, see if there are any remnants of the bandits, and it is enough to catch one alive and come back."

Deng Heizi casually nodded a few chiefs and said, "You, you guys, come with me!" ”

"Gao Liang, tonight's turn is on your four sentinels, order down, let everyone wipe their eyes brightly, this is the most critical night, and there is no fork."

The wheel defense at night has always been the most important thing for Wang Zheng, and he said: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, it is absolutely no problem to hand over the wheel defense to the four sentinels, and I will personally rotate the defense tonight." ”

Seeing Gao Liang patting his chest and assuring him, Wang Zheng also nodded, and finally said: "It's the best, you all come to me at night, there are some things to say." ”

......

Time passed slowly, the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion skillfully pulled up the mountain and forest camp, because of the proximity to the Jinshui River, even the bonfire was not lit, and the four sentinels of the wheel defense did not take torches, but just stared at the dark mountain forest.

"Whoa... Poof..."

Suddenly, one of the soldiers standing on the lookout frowned, and in a concentrated manner, he had already picked up the gavel with his left hand, ready to ring the gong to warn him.

"Who? If I don't say anything, I'll let go of the arrows! ”

The bow and arrow is indeed a sharp weapon in ancient times, it is not easy to make a good bow and arrow, but the most difficult thing is the archer, the average person does not say that he can pull the bow, even if it is an ordinary horn bow, it is not easy to shoot and hurt people,

Although there are not only a handful of people who can pull the power bow, but now the guards are in ruins, and they have not been operated for several months, and there are not many who can pull it away, and only the Liaodong soldiers and border soldiers of the Nine Wars will be equipped with force archers.

At this time, the age of firearms was about to begin, and all kinds of artillery and flintlock muskets gradually became the mainstream of the Western battlefield, and the Manchu Dynasty's proud cavalry archery had shown signs of decay.

However, due to various reasons, the power of the imperial court's firearms was not as great as imagined, and the shoddy firearms of the guard frequently exploded and injured their own people, and there were countless problems of all kinds.

The border soldiers in Liaodong are accustomed to comparing bird guns to bird guns, which means that the power is only enough to fight birds, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty even called the fire guns as burning sticks, and even the peasant army in the Central Plains was not afraid of fire guns.

Many people still have the deep-rooted belief that bows and arrows are more powerful, and they are used to bluffing people with bows and arrows.

Even if there are archers who can shoot arrows, it is still impossible to train an archer who can be effective in battle for a few months.

However, Wang Zheng is not a person of this era, and he naturally knows that firearms will become the mainstream, and it is inevitable that he will abandon bows and arrows and turn to develop firearms that are easier to train, and he can form a certain scale of firearms soldiers in a short time.

When the soldier finished speaking, the voices in the woods were getting closer and closer, and they were about to ring the gong.

"It's the Yellow Sentinel, they're back! They've caught a live bandit, open the door! ”

The soldiers on the lookout were relieved when they heard Gao Liang's words, put down the gavel and gong in their hands, and looked down curiously, sure enough, it was Huang Yang and they were back.

After entering the door and patting each other with the dirt on their armor, Huang Yang smiled: "This guy is actually squatting on a tree, if I didn't happen to pee under that tree, I'm afraid he would have run away." ”

Gao Liang went over to help Huang Yang pat his body, turned his head to look at the thief who was tied to a rough wood with four legs, like a wild boar to be slaughtered, and suddenly felt a little funny:

"Haha, Mr. Qian left a message for you to take this bandit to the camp."

"Got it, I'll rest first, forget it, I'll go." Huang Yang just leaned on the stone and gasped for a few breaths, but before his butt could sit firmly, he got up and walked inside.

"Bumper bumper... Hum hum hum huh..."

The two soldiers were closing the gate of the village, and when there was only a crack left, suddenly there was a strong force from outside the door, and the gate was also slammed open.

The two soldiers were directly knocked back a few steps, and one of them had blood on his hands.
