Chapter 55: Ambush [I]

The momentum that the old man said was impassioned, and everyone in the living room, including Li Hucheng, who was very calm before, couldn't help but show a look of excitement on his face. Master Zhang peeked at Li Hucheng, couldn't help but smile smugly in his heart, and secretly thought: Hmph, it's just a bunch of dirt buns, but that Li Cunhuan is dead, maybe I will also occupy the land, so that my descendants of the Zhang family can protect the glory and wealth for several generations!

However, Li Hucheng is a stable person in the end, although he was also encouraged by Master Zhang, he still said calmly: "I don't know how many people we can dispatch?" And this matter must be kept secret, and it must be elite, otherwise it will drag down friendly forces. So the private soldiers in this ambush must be elite. I just don't know if each family can make up enough people. ”

Speaking of this, the rich people in the center of the living room were beating drums in their hearts. These elite private soldiers are generally composed of their own sons and nephews or the descendants of several generations of servants who have served their families. In battle, they will become small leaders, leading their private soldiers against invading bandits and bandits, and even fighting for land with others.

If all these old books are spelled out, then I am afraid that Li Cunhuan has just died, and they will be poisoned by bandits and bandits. These people don't say anything moral to you, their motto is to take advantage of your illness and kill you.

Master Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, let's talk about how many people we can produce, see if it's enough, and then let's sum it up." I, Zhang, spoke first, and I sent out thirty archers and fifty infantry! I gritted my teeth and squeezed it out, and everyone should not be stingy. After all, we don't know the details of everyone, but we still know the situation. When the time comes, there will be less effort, don't blame me for someone Zhang stabbing your shortcomings. Even if you can hide it from me Zhang, if you don't have enough strength and fail, it's rare that you will be able to escape Butcher Li's sweep? ”

Master Zhang's words were the first to express his position, and he was a threat, and he secretly pointed out that now everyone is already an ant on a rope. Let everyone in the living room feel worried, even if they can't repel their little ideas, but they have a little more scruples.

Li Hucheng lowered his head, pondered for a moment, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Since Master Zhang is also so deadly, my Li will not be lazy." The thirty cavalry in Lijiabao were all used! In addition, I will send fifty more private soldiers! ”

Although Li Hucheng and Master Zhang are exactly the same in terms of numbers, the effect of what they say is different. Cavalry has always been an expensive type of troops, not only because it is difficult to wait for horses, but more importantly, a peasant who has just taken off his farmer's clothes must go through at least three years of training to become a qualified cavalryman. At the same time, the cavalry needs to pay three or four times more per day than ordinary light infantry. One light cavalry can be formed, and seven light infantry can be formed.

Although it is expensive, it still does not affect the prestige of the cavalry on the battlefield as the king of war. Cavalry is the bravest and toughest class of troops on the battlefield. But knowing this, in the end, all the families came together to have fun, and Li Hucheng made a big head, and in the end he just gathered a small cavalry of sixty people.

On the contrary, the infantry was much stronger, and the elite infantry already had 500 men, in addition to 600 archers and 100 crossbowmen. This is mainly because most of these landlords are usually guarding against the attacks of bandits and bandits, so most of them are the most suitable for defense.

In addition, Mr. Zhang raised 1,000 yuan from everyone to buy the fishermen's leaders in Danzhou, so that they could support the boats, and also allocated 50 elite sailors to strengthen everyone's combat effectiveness on the water.

On March 12, Li Cunhuan had already made preparations, and asked Duan Ziyao to personally lead a battalion, 400 loyal and filial piety troops had been guarded, and 100 of his own personal soldiers were also protected. Set off towards Miyun County.

Miyun County is a large county under the rule of Danzhou, but now the seat of Danzhou is in Yanle County, which is slightly worse than Miyun. This is mainly because Li Cunhuan does not want his family to be too constrained by these local forces, and would rather give up the relatively prosperous Miyun County and choose the relatively poor Yanle County.

However, this time he did not relax his guard, since he announced that he would be divided into acres, and resolutely refused to accept the property of those rich people. Li Cunhuan has been assassinated in Yanle City no less than thirteen times, but these assassins do not have the legendary ability to fly over walls and kill people invisibly. Before he came into contact with Li Cunhuan, he had already been killed or retreated by Li Cunhuan's own soldiers.

Li Cunhuan rode on a snow-white war horse and watched the spring scenery. A snow-white robe and bright white armor set off Li Cunhuan like Changshan Zhao Zilong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But don't ignore the soldiers on both sides.

Because it is necessary to protect Li Cunhuan, this battalion of loyal and filial piety soldiers is prioritized to equip equipment, one person has an iron helmet, and a set of iron-inlaid armor on his body, one hundred of them are equipped with a large square shield, and the other three hundred are only equipped with a small round shield, and everyone is equipped with a short scimitar on their waists. These scimitars were all seized from the Khitans, and after some polishing, although the quality is not good, it is better than nothing.

To go to Miyun County, if you go by land, you must pass through Danzhou Lake. The current Danzhou Lake is the predecessor of the future Miyun Reservoir, although it is not as big as the later Miyun Reservoir, but it is not small.

Yanle County and Miyun County are seventy miles apart, and if the infantry marches normally, the normal march in a day is about fifty miles. However, in order to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers and cope with various unexpected phenomena, Li Cunhuan began to camp after walking a distance of 40 miles.

Although there was nothing to do all the way, Li Cunhuan still did not forget to disperse the scouts, but it seemed that those rich people were silent. There was no hostility. But Li Cunhuan knew that this was just the silence before the storm.

Continuing his journey the next day, Li Cunhuan set off along Danzhou Lake to Miyun County, just ten miles away. The sound of banging gongs sounded, and nearly a thousand "bandits" emerged on the side. However, their actions were clearly not very good, and they were detected by the scouts early, causing the signal to be launched early.

ps: I'm sorry, because I'm a little uncomfortable, it seems that I can only watch two shifts today!
