Anyway, they are all thieves, where is different, and Deng Ji has a lot of food in this valley, presumably there is no need to starve anymore, as soon as Lei Gong died, Che Huang shouted a few times, except for a few diehards who fled, the rest of the troops were all surrendered.

On the first day of the year, in the shelter of the valley, although not exquisite, but the full meal was eaten, many old and weak people in the Lei Gong Department who had suffered from hunger and cold in the previous period could not help but burst into tears, and the strangeness and dissatisfaction with this new place quickly dissolved, and then many people rushed to do things.

After arranging everything, Deng Ji invited his father-in-law Wu Gong's family to celebrate the same year, thinking that he was the only one in Tai Shici's house, and invited him to use it together.

After getting grain in the valley, the year before last began to make their own wine, each family has a little, Deng Ji as a Qu Shuai, hunting wild things, dried fish here, there are still self-raised pheasants in the valley, there is no shortage of condiments, the food is much more abundant than others, and in a moment, even the fields are secretly running to mix and eat.

After the meal, his own Wu's Jiao Ji cleaned up the mess, Deng Ji led Tai Shici and Wu Ning to the open space behind the valley to see Che Huang and Han Qi led the brave soldiers to pick people among the two thousand new elites.

When they arrived, the field was divided into four pieces at the same time, Che Xiao was selecting a spear for Deng Ji, Han Qi was picking a sword and shield pawn, Guo Shi was picking a force pawn, and he was lazy to pick an archer.

The three of them walked to the side of the field to watch the selection of gunmen, but saw that the newly descended sturdy people took turns to play, stabbing the guns against a few thick trees on the side, Tai Shici had been a county official, and he was also familiar with the county officers and soldiers. ”

Deng Ji nodded, which surprised this brave double halberd, Wu Ning was also a little proud, and for the first time, he felt that it was not bad to be a relative, and explained with a spirit: "In our valley, the spearman must pierce the foot-thick hardwood and still have the strength to spare; The sword and shield pawn must wait for the blacksmiths to finish making the halberd and then rush to make the iron shield, at this time, only the knife needs to split two feet of thick wood, and those who can split it can be selected immediately; Those who lift 300 pounds of heavy objects ten times can be a force; After a pause, he raised his bow: "The archer needs to be able to make a stone bow, and he can shoot eight times out of fifty paces!" ”

Tai Shici couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The world has never heard of such a thing, even the national election guards are not so strict, how many people can be selected like this?" ”

As he was talking, Guo Shi picked up a pawn over there, four strokes, and the number of pawns was the most rare, and the onlookers shouted in unison, Guo Shi went up and stuffed two chickens in the hands of the selected person, so that he could enter the group of brave pawns.

The three of them couldn't help but pay attention, and just as they wanted to go over to take a look, a half-grown child ran over and shouted, "Brother Pimple! ”

Deng Ji turned around, but he was familiar, but he couldn't name it, so he asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's unfair for the big car to be big," the young man said angrily: "He won't let me test the brave soldiers!" ”

Glancing at him suspiciously, Deng Ji asked, "How old are you?" ”

"Fourteen!"

The young man held back this sentence immaturely, this is obviously said to be bigger, Deng Ji shook his head and said: "Well, I am not allowed to be selected as a brave soldier before the age of sixteen, I am determined!" ”

The young man looked innocent: "Why? You're fourteen years old, and you're the chief! ”

Although every time a brave soldier is added, he will add an extra point of strength, but Deng Ji will not give in on this matter: "I can't do it, you can't do it!" ”

"Why?" The young man was also stubborn, and he didn't give up: "I've practiced marksmanship until now, and the thorn tree is not the same, why can't I get chicken eggs?" ”

Deng Ji didn't know if this young man was stupid or persistent, and suddenly lost his temper: "What are so many why?" Does Lao Tzu want you to live two more years? ”

It is estimated that the young man didn't understand, but when he saw Deng Ji lose his temper, he left with a lost face, but Tai Shici, who was watching, understood a little: "Raise the elite among the people, and give it a few more years, there will be no shortage of brave soldiers, and when the time comes, it will become the elite of the world!" ”

It's too early to talk about the elite of the world, Lei Gong's people quickly integrated into the valley, on the fifth day of the first month, there was a group of bandits outside the valley, and after half a day's effort, the second group of people and horses arrived, and the two bandits joined forces, but they did not attack, but blocked the mouth of the valley, and cut down trees and camped in all directions.

There is plenty of grain and straw in the valley, and there is no shortage of water, so they are not afraid to fight for a long time, but they are afraid that they will not have this time.

On the second day, there was another one more bandit in front of the door, and then there were thieves every day to join, and the people outside the valley were gathering more and more, and on the tenth day of the first month, there were more than ten thieves, and as far as the eye could see, the black pressure was full of people and horses, but I was afraid that there were no less than 20,000 people.

At noon on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, a team of more than 5,000 people waving the big "Black Mountain" flag finally arrived, but Zhang Yan personally arrived.

After the merger of the Lei Gong Department, there are more than 40 spearmen, more than 30 sword and shield soldiers in the valley, and the archers have been captured by officers and soldiers, there are 50 and nearly 20 strong soldiers, a total of 150 brave soldiers, in addition to 400 auxiliary soldiers, more than 3,000 ordinary and strong, with this point of men and horses facing the army outside the valley, many people have a touch of melancholy on their faces.

When the matter came, Deng Ji no longer cared, and ordered Wu Gong, Changde, Xie Yun and others to stay at the granary every day.

All the ministries are already short of food, and the siege was not attacked a few days ago, just waiting for Zhang Yan to come to preside, there are still more than 300,000 stone grains in this valley, which is worth everyone's hard work.

When the Taihang group of thieves got the letter, the Xiangping County grain transport team had entered the territory of Julu, so that the thieves missed the best opportunity to attack, the elite officers and soldiers of Julu, I heard that the alien assault cavalry that protected the grain was not worse than the elite of the officers and soldiers, everyone was a little jealous, fortunately, the rich man Deng Pimple was still in Taihang, compared with the two, it was natural to pick a soft pinch.

can't afford to provoke hard stubble, can't even this little pimple be smashed and rubbed?

Zhang Yan, the first of the thieves, had a feeling of crying and laughing when he learned that the child who stole 700,000 stone grains from his family and the state assassin and the party Taishou the year before last was only a few hundred sturdy pimples.

Ignorant child, what do you want to do with this abundance of food? I'm not afraid to kill him!

He is a hero in the world, and hundreds of thousands of thieves in Taihang have no disobedience, commanding more than 100,000 troops to besiege officers and soldiers for more than a month, and let this little guy succeed, enough to make what he did a joke.

What's more important is that although the subordinate is considered rich in Taihang, it has the most people and horses to feed, and at this time there is also a shortage of food, and after a year, the number of troops has been halved, and it will not be able to support it if it does not go out to plunder.

This year, there is no grain in the state, and the emperor Fu Song in Jizhou is rich in borrowing grain, but most of the farmers in the four fields are old acquaintances, and they are inevitably a little unable to do it, and the counties and counties are heavily defended, but there are thieves attacking, and everyone will try their best to help, and the casualties in each city are not small.

At the time of suffering from gains and losses, I heard that Deng Pimple still has more than 300,000 stone grains, and attacking him is just killing two birds with one stone, can Zhang Yanyan get in person? So they galloped in all directions, and invited all the tribes that had not yet gone out to plunder.

In the valley of the foreign exchange of the Qi Department, Zhang Yan personally went to see the front, Deng Pimple is still only a turtle can not shrink, the valley mouth is only more than 20 zhang wide, but more than a year has built two arrow towers, between which there are several layers of antlers (note).

The die-hard loyalists who escaped from the Lei Gong Department have publicized the cause of the defeat, and they have not seen Deng Pimple's combat strength, but the matter of the famous divine archers in the valley has spread, and all the departments are far away from the valley at this time, and they can't see it clearly, but they can vaguely see hundreds of defenders, in this case, if the casualties of the hard attack are not small, he can't help but sigh: "This kid has chosen a good piece of land to set up camp!" ”

Liu Shi, Yu Poison, Zheng Gu, Du Chang, Sun Qing and others were also on the side, and Yu Poison said: "We are short of food and can't last, so why don't we persuade him to surrender and let him come out?" ”

Before Zhang Yan could answer, someone had already sneered: "If I were him, I would see that there was already such a battle outside, so I would let someone say that I would not come out if I went to the sky!" ”

Yu Poison's face was slightly red, thinking about it, he didn't know that it would work, but he didn't expect that there were people in the crowd who were more ignorant than him: "It's like a fire attack, and a fire will burn him out!" ”

Looking sideways, it was the rough man of the green horns, and when he saw that it was him, everyone turned their faces away, but no one saw him in general.

It's just that the people around him have strange eyes, and Qingniujiao can't help but be annoyed: "How! Isn't it possible? The field is full of hay, and it's time to set it on fire! ”

He was more popular, put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You old cow, we have to feed our subordinates, grab food first, kill second, if you are set on fire, what is left in the valley?" ”

As soon as he said it, Qingniujiao remembered that food is not burned by fire, but fortunately, he was used to it, so he didn't care and said the wrong thing.

"It's a good ploy to use fire!"

Everyone was shocked, and when the green bull horn looked around, the words of praise were difficult for Zhang Ping to say, and he was so suffocated that his face turned red for a while.

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Looking at the mouth of the valley to welcome the west, this monsoon mostly comes from the northwest, and more firewood is lit outside the valley, and the smoke blows into the smoke, and the soldiers take advantage of the situation to attack it, or it can be broken with a drum!" ”

Note: Antlers, divided into infantry or cavalry, the first is made by tying many sharp and strong branches or trunks together, and is named because it resembles antlers, also called repelling antlers; The second type sharpens the logs and fastens them together to prevent the cavalry from attacking, which can be moved, also known as repelling horses.
