"Where's the reinforcements?"

Zhao Wenhua looked at the city blankly, how could there be a soldier and a general, and suddenly a terrible thought arose to him.

"Xingzhi Virtuous Nephew, will you scatter beans and become a soldier?"

Tang Yi's face was full of black lines, and he said in his heart that if I want to have that ability, will I be unlucky with you!

"Mei Cun Gong, did you see that caravan?"

Looking along Tang Yi's fingers, sure enough, there was a caravan of about one or two hundred people, all of them pushing wheelbarrows, with small black flags on them, from far and near, quickly to the city of Changshu. It doesn't look like a normal caravan.

The old man at the head rode on a donkey, jumped off the donkey, and threw his hand towards the city.

"Little Lao'er is He Wanquan, the head of Hejia Village, he was ordered to help in the war, please open the city gate!"

The old man was full of anger, and his voice clearly reached Zhao Wenhua's ears, but he frowned, no matter how it looks, people seem to be walking the streets and alleys to do small business, and they are not close to the war at all.

"Okay, are you sure they're reinforcements?"

Tang Yi smiled, arched his hand at the battlement, "Lord Zhao doesn't believe that you are here to fight, how about showing your hand to Lord Zhao?" ”

He Wanquan raised his face and saw Tang Yi, and smiled honestly: "Dare to love Tang Gongzi is here!" We'll do what you say, boys, copy guys! ”

At the sound of an order, all the young men put the wheelbarrow aside, opened the package on the cart, quickly took out the military uniform and leather armor, and dressed neatly. Xiangyong is not a regular army, and they do not have the Mandarin Duck Jacket of the Ming Army. However, this trouble is not difficult for the wealthy Suzhou, all the villagers are black jackets, thick and warm, and wear relatively light leather armor outside.

Tang Yi once thought about using iron armor, but the iron armor was cumbersome to make, and it was rainy in the south of the Yangtze River. The maintenance is inconvenient, and secondly, there are not many people who wear armor, and it is enough to have leather armor, and it is not good to be too public.

Xiang Yong put on it, took out his weapons again, and they had a waist knife in one hand. With a shield in one hand and five flying spears on his back, he was armed to the teeth one by one, full of momentum, and wherever he stopped, he was much stronger than the guards in Changshu City.

Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but slap his face, "Okay, great, open the city gate quickly." ”

"Wait!" He Wanquan clenched his fists and smiled: "My lord." Don't be so troublesome, Xiao Lao'er has his own way. ”

Zhao Wenhua and Tang Yi both watched with interest, only to see that the soldiers pushed the wheelbarrows together, and there were grooves left in the front of each cart, and the handlebars could be inserted into them, and as soon as they were tied with ropes, they were firmly connected together.

One after the other, in the blink of an eye. A pontoon bridge appeared in front of you, and several water-friendly jumps into the moat. They dragged the pontoon bridge with ropes, found a stake, and fixed it.

The pontoon bridge was erected, and the soldiers behind stepped on the pontoon bridge, light as a swallow, and passed quickly. Fluid movements. Zhao Wenhua was dumbfounded.

What surprised him even more was that the city wall was less than three feet, which was no less than natural danger for ordinary people. The villagers calculated the height and tied the three wheelbarrows together. It is about a zhang or so, and it is placed diagonally on the city wall.

A young soldier of moderate stature stepped forward, he ran two steps, stepped on the wheelbarrow, and jumped up at once, the height of the wheelbarrow, and the fact that he jumped upward, was only a little more than a foot from the city, and the young man threw his flying claws and grabbed the battlements of the city wall. His body was attached to the city wall, and his feet flicked hard, like an ape, and he easily went up to the city.

When he arrived at the top of the city wall, he tied the rope to the battlement, pulled it, and there was no problem, and the villagers below stepped on the wheelbarrow frame, grabbed the rope, divided five by two, and went up to the city wall one after another.

One by one they were elated, holding their chests high, and it was clear that we were amazing!

Zhao Wenhua was even more dumbfounded, he was completely stunned by the soldier's vigorous skills.

"Okay, you still dare to say that you can't sprinkle beans into soldiers, this is clearly a god soldier!" Zhao Wenhua blew his beard and glared, and said unrelentingly.

Tang Yi smiled modestly: "Mei Cun Gong, I have won the award, but to put it mildly, Old Man He and these brothers are really a little unusual. ”

"How?" Zhao Wenhua asked curiously.

"Old man He was born in Southern Shaolin in his early years, learned martial arts for 20 years, and was especially good at light skills, once served under the account of Zhu Tidu, led 20 brothers to attack the enemy camp, and the head was more than 50, and the old man alone cut eight, who knows! When he was compiling and training Xiangyong, the old man was disheartened and unwilling to come out, so he still looked at the thatched house twice before inviting the old man out of the mountain! ”

As Tang Yi was talking, he heard someone laugh and say: "Tang Gongzi, this little old man's ability is not worth mentioning, if you take it out again and brag about it, you will have to blush!" ”

He Wanquan came to Tang Yi and Zhao Wenhua, clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Speaking of which, Tang Gongzi is still powerful, the more the old man of the wheelbarrow you designed is more and more like a treasure." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "What kind of treasure method? ”

He Wanquan rubbed his hands and said with a sigh: "There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is inconvenient for horse-drawn carriages to use, but some small rivers can't use big boats, so wheelbarrows come in handy." More than a dozen are worn together, it is a pontoon bridge, crossing the river is like walking on the ground, and a car can hold twenty catties of food, as well as weapons and armor, enough for one person to use for half a month. The old man pondered that he usually pretended to be a caravan, and when he approached the Japanese Kou, he would give them a ruthless one! He Wanquan grabbed his goatee and said with a smile: "Childe, what do you think?" ”

"Well, it couldn't be better!"

Tang Yi smiled happily: "What old man, and all the brothers, don't worry about the widows!" ”

"Well said, if it weren't for the fact that the whole court was a confused official and a waste of dim sum, Lord Zhu would have killed all the Japanese robbers back then, how could there be today! For the sake of Tang Gongzi and Lord Tang's face, the old man came out to practice these children, replace them with others, and get out of the way! ”

While speaking, he also pinched Zhao Wenhua from the corner of his eye, Zhao Daqin was so angry, but he still asked for protection, and he didn't dare to attack, so he could only accompany the smiling face, and the smile was even more ugly than crying.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Old man He, you go and rest first, I think that the other townsmen are also about to arrive, and when the time comes, we will join forces and give the Japanese a head-on blow, and teach them a good lesson!" ”

"It's still Tang Gongzi's words, the old man is gone."

Since He Wanquan, there have been villagers who have come to meet.

There are two or three hundred, and thirty or fifty as few, no matter where they come from, they are all in high morale, and they are all gearing up, and there are not many of them to go desperately with the Japanese Kou immediately!

Tang Yi was not surprised, since the Japanese rebellion, the top three most serious losses were guaranteed to be Songjiang and Suzhou, every year there are large-scale invasions of the Japanese invaders, more than tens of thousands, as few as a few thousand, the plundered of tens of thousands of people, and the property is even more incalculable, the people everywhere suffer greatly, even the ordinary gentry are not spared.

On the one hand, there are murderous Japanese robbers, and on the other hand, there are incompetent officials, and when the countermeasures of compiling and training the villagers are proposed, regardless of others, the gentry in Susong and other places are the most active.

In addition, Tang Yi is a native of Suzhou, and he contributes money and efforts, except for Tang Shen's eastern Zhejiang, Suzhou's township Yong is the strongest, with a large number of people and good training. When Tang Yi was in Baimao Town, he ordered Xu San to notify all the neighboring villagers to assemble in Changshu to meet the Japanese invaders.

Now that the villagers from the surrounding villages and towns have arrived, Tang Yi enjoys the joy of a cloud-piercing arrow and thousands of troops coming to meet each other. In less than two days, nearly 2,000 villagers with high morale have gathered in Changshu County.

In contrast, the regular army in the city was compared to each other, and became a good commodity to fight against.

Tang Yi's blood was boiling, he knew that his father and master had long been looking forward to Xiang Yong being able to show his skills, and now the opportunity has finally come, this is Xiang Yong's first battle, and it is also the most important battle, it is a mule or a horse, in this move.

In order to boost the courage of the big guys and eliminate the fear of the Japanese robbers, Tang Yi took Xu San, took more than 30 human heads that they had cut off, went to each team of village warriors, talked with them and dined, and put the heads in front of them.

Tell them that they are not terrible, they are all human beings, and as long as everyone has faith, they will definitely be able to defeat them. In the end, Tang Yi said in a voice full of agitation: "Brothers, the court will reward sixty taels of silver for the head of a widow, our township is funded by the local gentry, and the hometown fathers and elders will pay another sixty taels, and killing a widow is one hundred and twenty taels, which is enough for you to build a house and marry a wife, and the more you kill, the more you earn, are you still afraid of the widows?" ”

"Don't be afraid. Definitely not afraid! ”

The young men's eyes were red, and they shouted wildly, in their eyes, the would-be cobs were no longer people, but walking gold ingots!

"Qi Yu Gongzi, silver, no, it's the Japanese Kou, the Japanese are here!" A young soldier yelled with a red face. (To be continued.) )
