Chapter 67: Before the War

Changning Town is still far away from Taohuabao, Liu Yiming's date is to arrive within five days, and it took two whole days for Changning Town to assemble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are still three days to go, and although there is plenty of time, Wang Changliang still keeps urging everyone to speed up, the purpose is naturally to get there early to curry favor with the defender Liu Yiming.

"Hurry, we will arrive in two days, and the team will be rewarded at that time!" Wang Changliang rode on a horse, surrounded by Jiang Ying, who was also riding a horse, and the two kept shouting and urging them to hurry up.

Xiao Yi's side also sped up slightly, because of the previous physical strength saving, coupled with the previous training, he didn't feel anything at this time.

But those big-headed soldiers are different, they are all loose and tired, and some people even walk staggeringly as if they are about to fall.

Including Li Zhen's side, there was no formation at all when marching, and only a few simple queues were maintained, if this could be regarded as a queue.

There were more than 100 people in the group, which was more than double the 50 people set by Liu Yiming.

Wang Changliang thought happily, this time the overcompletion, if he could arrive in advance, the defense adult's impression of himself should be even better, and as soon as he was happy, he was more eager to rush to Peach Blossom Castle, so he urged more frequently.

When Xiao Yi and his entourage hurried for a day and a night, the next afternoon they finally saw the head pier of Peach Blossom Fort from a distance, and the sun and moon flags of the Ming Dynasty fluttered in the sky.

If you take a closer look, the flag is certainly quite imposing, but the officers and soldiers gathered under the flag are not worthy of the word momentum.

At this time, the number of people here in Peach Blossom Fort was still a little small, Xiao Yi roughly counted, the number of people was between one hundred and two hundred, and the number of people Liu Yiming wanted to gather should be far more than this number, and most of the people should not have arrived yet.

These people are almost the same as the people brought by Wang Changliang, their weapons and equipment are backward, and not everyone even has the Ming Dynasty-style mandarin duck battle jackets, and most of them are still in tatters.

Liu Yiming was dressed in Daming iron armor, wearing a pointed hat and helmet, and more than 20 people around him were all dressed in cotton armor, and there were also iron helmets on their heads, these people were Liu Yiming's personal guards, these family members were different from those military households who were sluggish and uneven in equipment, and even their eyes were shining, and they could see the difference at a glance.

This battle is the most important thing for Liu Yiming, it is related to whether his official position can be kept, of course, it is to let all the most elite family members go out, this time Liu Yiyi is no longer clumsy, tomorrow he has decided to release all the weapons and armor in the inner library.

Liu Yiming waited anxiously, but there were still only more than 100 people, and he was about to get angry. Finally, when the sun was about to set, a group of people gradually approached in the distance.

When this team approached Liu Yiming, he saw the mandarin duck jacket of the mandarin duck among them, and then he knew that it was the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Changliang arrived on horseback, and Liu Yiming was overjoyed, "Wang Guan team!" How come it was born so early, and the rest of the people have not yet arrived! Wang Changliang glanced at the empty clearing, and his heart was also happy, it seemed that he still arrived earlier than those people, and said with a dusty look, "How dare the officials disobey the orders of the defense lords, I heard that the Tartars were raging in the township, and the subordinates who listened to it were very worried, so they gathered more than 100 people overnight for the adults to send!" ”

Liu Yiming heard that Wang Changliang actually gathered hundreds of people? Looking at the past in surprise, there were more than 100 people in the rear, Liu Yiming was relieved after seeing it, and he was more confident in annihilating those Tartars.

The two were talking, galloping from afar, these people were not ordinary military households, they were all dun guards and dun soldiers, all of them had simple leather armor, a thin horse, a saber, and they were also very energetic when they came on horseback.

"My lord! The little ones are late, please punish the adults! The hearty voice of the first armor chief came.

Liu Yiming saw that it was too late to be happy, how could he be punished, and said with a smile, "Where did Brother Chu Kui speak, what about the rest of the Dunwei brothers." ”

After Chu Kui arrived, he dismounted directly, at least it was not a wise decision in front of Shangguan, after a few people dismounted, they first made a full set of salutes to Liu Yiming, and Chu Kui replied: "The rest of the brothers are behind, the big guy is afraid that the adult will wait, so he asked me to take a few steps first to inform the adult." ”

This Chu Kui face project has been completed, and Liu Yiming is also very happy after hearing it.

Then the various villages and towns, hundreds of households, and dun guards belonging to the Peach Blossom Fort came one after another, with dozens of more and a few less, all of whom were outstanding.

Due to the large number of people, Liu Yiming camped directly outside Peach Blossom Castle, and he also accompanied everyone to stay outside the camp.

In the evening, bonfires lit up in the open space, and the newcomers gathered to chat. This night was also a succession of new people coming to join.

On the second day, Liu Yiming, as a defensive officer, had to give a lecture to increase morale before going on the expedition, which was already an unwritten rule, especially for this kind of expedition with a relatively large number of people.

Since the last time a few hundred people were gathered to encircle and suppress the horse thieves, it has been a long time since Peach Blossom Castle has gathered so many people.

Liu Yiming looked at the dense crowd below, and after a rough calculation, there were nearly four hundred people. There are more than 20 elite families around him, and he is quite high-spirited.

Liu Yiming waved his hand, and the commotion in the audience gradually stopped, and Liu Yiming nodded with satisfaction. "This time, the Tartars invaded my Peach Blossom Fort and slaughtered the villagers of Xiaowutai Village, as the defensive officer, I Liu Yiming will not let go to exterminate these Tartars, and everyone will follow me to kill the Tartars..."

Liu Yiming didn't care about this, and with a wave of his hand, the family members carried a large wooden box one after another, which contained some armor weapons from Neiku, and this time he could be said to have invested enough.

Seeing this box of weapons and armor, the open space that was a little quiet just now was suddenly chaotic and noisy, everyone was rushing, and if they wanted to get good weapons and armor, even some armor commanders and general flags took the lead to join the ranks.

Xiao Yi looked at the noisy venue, frowning and not saying a word. Shi Gang was also a little eager to try, and asked tentatively, "My lord, why don't we go and grab some back?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "Don't fight with them, take a closer look." Those weapons are all rusty, how much worse than the spears and knives in your hands? ”

Shi Gang took a closer look, but it was really good. Seeing everyone nodding, Xiao Yi continued: "Look at those armors, the better ones are also tattered leather armor, we don't want this kind of armor, when we go back this time, this general banner will make a pair of good cotton armor for each of you." ”

Liu Sheng enviously pointed to a family member next to Liu Yiming and said, "My lord, is that kind of armor?" The rest of the people were full of envy and hope. Xiao Yi looked over and nodded, "They also have cotton armor on them, but this general banner assures you that as long as you bravely kill the enemy this time, you will all have a better pair than this after the war." ”

Shi Gang nodded, and opened the mandarin duck jacket on his body, revealing the heavy chain mail inside, "Boys, you have all shown me clearly, this is the chain mail on the Houjin people, it can't be broken with a waist knife to deal with them, use the spear in your hand, the tip of the gun is aim, pierce it with the strength of milk, and the tartar will be finished!" ”

After hearing this, the recruits holding the spears all glanced at the spears in their hands, and after a while, they were going to use the spears to kill the tartars.

Xiao Yi nodded, "Yes, Lao Shi is right." Also, your sword player's main goal is not to slash the enemy, but to prevent the enemy from harming your team's pikemen. Of course, you also have to protect yourself. ”

Liu Sheng waved the rattan card in his hand, and said with a grin, "That's natural, I've wanted to try two hands with those Tartars for a long time, boy, you just poke the Tartars safely, just leave it to us people." ”

The pikeman was also happy, clutching the spear and nodding his head.

Xiao Yi and Shi Gang also took advantage of the last time before the war to exchange some experiences with everyone about dealing with Tartars over the past few days, so that everyone can have some confidence and reduce their fear of Tartars.

Shi Gang even told all the moves of the Tartar, and demonstrated them one by one with the waist knife, saying that if the Tartar made this move, how to deal with Yunyun. Xiao Yi looked at Shi Gang, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind, but if he wanted to realize it, he would only need to end it this time.

After listening to this, everyone nodded silently and wrote down, just when others were scrambling for weapons and armor, Xiao Yi's side didn't move at all, and they were all quietly listening to Xiao Yi's conversation.
