By the time Xiao Yi finished dealing with some small things, it was already late at night, and Xiao Yi, who was very sleepy, fell asleep on the table, and got up early to run laps the next day, which had become a habit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao also decided to stay in Keping to deal with affairs in the fort, and he and Yuan Dachang went to Tujiagou together, Shi Gang and others persuaded Xiao Yi to bring out a sentry soldier and bring more people to be safe.

According to Wang Dayong's night team, there is at least a gang of bandits around this Tujiagou, the number of which is uncertain, but it should be less than 300 people.

In order not to affect the training of the recruits, Xiao Yi only let Yang Xiao take his team with him, and Wang Dayong and his night team did not collect the front to reconnoitre.

Yang Xiao is a team leader for one outpost and two teams, with a five-class soldier, plus Wang Dayong's forty nights of not collecting, a group of about 100 people should be enough, this is to go to Tujiagou.

Wang Dayong led the team to go first, and the people were working in the fields at this time, and the sun had just risen.

From the west gate, a team of horses rushed out, taking away the cigarette dust, and the people saw that everyone in this team was dressed in brown and yellow leather armor, and carried a stainless steel waist knife behind them, and they went straight to the west.

Xiao Yi led people to send Wang Dayong out of the city at the west gate, and said goodbye to Shi Gang and others, and then slowly went out of the city with the soldiers in an array.

The people hadn't reacted from the horse team that galloped out just now, but they saw that Xiao Yi had actually gone out of the city, followed by a group of Yong'an Army soldiers with neat steps and bright armor.

The people looked at the past and found that these officers and soldiers were really very different from the previous ones, and some of them had never seen them before with half-sized shields.

They all put down their farm tools and watched, and some of the soldiers saw their family members who were working in the fields, and they didn't make a sound, but just marched with the team.

The soldiers met the eyes of the people, their hearts were full of pride, they all straightened their waists, and the spears in their hands exuded a chill, full of anticipation for this trip.

Not far after leaving Changning Town, I saw four nights waiting in front of me, and after inquiry, I was told that it was Wang Dayong who left to point out the direction for Xiao Yi.

After integrating Ye Bu into the team, he continued to move forward, and when Xiao also asked Wang Dayong, one of Ye Bu Shu told him that Wang Dayong had taken Ye Bu to the front to reconnoitre.

In this way, every few miles, there were a few soldiers who did not collect at night, waiting for Xiao Yi and his party to know the way and direction.

After two hours of this, I found that there was a hill in front of me, and Wang Dayong was waiting with the rest of the night, Xiao Yi rushed over to ask, and then it became clear that this was Tufang Mountain.

Tujiagou, there is a small hill outside, the local people call Tufang Mountain. It is said to be a mountain, but in Xiao Yi's opinion, it is just a steep slope, which is far worse than Xiaowutai Mountain.

After passing the Tufang Mountain, we arrived at the village at the foot of the Tujiagou Mountain, and the ochre mine was a few miles in front of the village, and it had to enter the valley.

"My lord, the brothers who don't accept it at night have all been investigated, there is a group of bandits in this Tufang Mountain, the number is about 200 people, why don't we go around?" Wang Dayong suggested.

Liu Sheng also said, "Yes, there is a small road at the foot of Tufang Mountain, which can be passed. ”

Xiao Yi nodded after hearing this, the purpose of this time is just to explore the surroundings, it is naturally best to go around, Xiao Yi doesn't want to spend more effort on this bandit.

Then Wang Dayong led the way to the foot of Tufang Mountain.

Looking at this path, Xiao Yi frowned, this path is flat in the middle, with slopes on both sides, if a thief swoops down from the slope, it is quite a passive situation.

"Array!"

The soldiers listened to Xiao Yi's words, and hurriedly lined up into a formation that they usually trained, with the sword players on both sides, and the pikemen in the middle slowly advancing, this formation could be quickly replaced with a shield formation, but the advance speed slowed down, but the safety factor increased a lot. Since the firecrackers had to be proficient in three-stage strike tactics, Xiao Yi did not bring the firecrackers out.

Xiao Yi beckoned to Wang Dayong again, and asked Wang Dayong to take the night team to explore the way in the village first, and then he arrived, Wang Dayong nodded, and galloped to the village in front with a fist.

Xiao Yi was at the front of the queue, the queue slowly passed the path, Xiao Yi looked around, it was really desolate, the yellow sand was all over the ground, and this place should have been green grass.

Walking straight along the path to the village in front of him, seeing that it was almost there, and there was still no one everywhere, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had thought too much.

Yang Xiao also said, "It's going well, my lord, at this speed, we will be able to arrive soon." Xiao Yi nodded, everyone was looking forward to what this ochre mine was like.

Suddenly, the slope, which had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly began to be noisy, and a few tattered black flags were raised from both sides, carried by several people or loosely pulled.

Xiao Yi had just breathed a sigh of relief when this scene appeared, and he opened his mouth and shouted,

"Formation!"

When the soldiers heard Xiao Yi's shout, they immediately formed a formation for their usual training, and no one said a word, and the sword players directly supported their shields on both sides and half-squatted to block their bodies under the shields, and the spearmen formed three rows to stand in the middle.

Xiao Yi reacted quickly, and when he saw the bad flag, he asked the soldiers to form a formation, and the soldiers were very concerned, so they quickly formed a shield formation and waited for it.

As soon as the formation was formed, more than 100 people appeared from both sides, and there should be more than 200 people gathered together in twos and threes, all dressed in tatters, and the few people carrying the broken flags were even more skinny and skinny, and they were all shouting and shouting, but they couldn't hear clearly on Xiao Yi's side.

A captain of armor at the head rushed from the front,

"My lord, it's a gang of bandits blocking the road and robbing it, shouting for us to keep the money to buy the road."

After speaking, the commander looked at Xiao Yi and said with some anger, "My lord, these bandits actually dare to rob us, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead, let us rush up and kill them." ”

After speaking, the several armor commanders behind him all looked eager to try, after all, they were all veterans, and for these bandits, in their eyes, they were all military merits.

Yang Xiao groaned slightly, obviously not approving,

He whispered, "My lord, it's important to hurry." ”

Xiao Yi thought for a while, although he didn't take these bandits seriously, but at this time, it was indeed the bandits who had the advantage.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said, "Unnecessary battles will be stopped, so let's hurry up." ”

So Xiao Yi asked Yang Xiao to discuss with those bandits, and Xiao Yi, Yuan Dachang and others watched Yang Xiao and a few armor commanders in the formation to discuss.

Although there were more than 200 of these bandits, they all had dishes on their faces, and they had obviously not eaten enough for a long time.

The weapons in their hands were also good and bad, the group of people who discussed with Yang Xiao were better, some were holding old waist knives, some were holding short javelins, and there were also a few people with bows and arrows in their hands, short axes, and broken spears in the distance on both sides, but most of the rest were holding sticks.

Xiao also asked everyone not to relax their vigilance, no matter whether they succeed or not, they must always be on guard, they will pass if they can pass, and they will pass if they can't.

But I don't know if these are all the people of this gang of bandits, and I don't know if there is only this one bandit here, so it's best not to cause senseless incidents.

Wait until the past and join Wang Dayong's horse team before they can attack and retreat, and then decide whether to exterminate this gang of bandits.

Only then did they listen carefully to Yang Xiao's negotiations.

I only heard the chaos over there, and a few thieves led by him yelled for rice noodles, Yang Xiao was stunned when he heard it.

"Rice noodles..?.. Where did the rice noodles come from at this time?.."

The thieves discussed for a while, and the thief who was the leader was roaring again, Xiao Yi could see the green tendons on his neck, and it was okay to say that there was no rice and noodles to replace with silver.

A captain behind Yang Xiao heard a lazy inquiry,

"How much?"

But when he heard a number reported over there, the first captain stared at it directly, and then Xiao Yi clearly heard the angry scolding of the first chief,

"How much? Fifty taels?! My young lady, why don't you rob it? Ten taels at most! ”

Then there was a lot of noise on the bandit's side, and I heard the thief's angry roar,

"Ten taels?! Do you still want to hold the old lady every day? My whole family in Rini, ten taels of silver is called Huazi? (To be continued.) )
