280, Xue Hongqi

"It's ......" the Monkey shouted: "Please ask Eighth Brother Zhu to come out and say something fair, why should I give the silver I robbed to Xue Hongqi?" He is simply too immoral to do this! ”

When Xu Renjie heard this, he only felt depressed in his heart: You hooligans fight, just enter our territory, and you want our leader to come out and administer justice? What the hell is going on?

However, after Xu Renjie was depressed for a while, he was quickly relieved, in the first few years, it was not uncommon for two villages to fight in groups to ask the third village to come out to uphold justice, not to mention how strange it was, and there were two people fighting to ask their neighbors to uphold justice, and even two officials in the court fought and the emperor came out to uphold justice.

If you can't encounter this kind of thing, it proves that you have no ability, others look down on you, and you don't need to uphold justice. When you encounter this kind of thing, it means that people are angry with you and listen to you!

Since Wang Jiayin took the 36th battalion to the west of the mountain, Baishui Zhu Ba is the most famous in the East Road Righteous Army, and if people don't look for Zhu Ba to preside over justice, who else can they go to?

Xu Renjie coughed dryly, and said loudly to the Monkey: "In that case, you control your people well, don't mess around on our territory...... Set up camp at the edge of Laomiao Town first, and when the red flag comes, I will talk to him. ”

The chaotic monkey was overjoyed, he was chased by the red flag for a long time, and he was already sleepy and tired, and now there was finally a big guy who was willing to come out to set up a beam, he really couldn't ask for it, so he quickly restrained his thieves to retreat to the side, set up a simple camp, and squatted in the camp.

They squatted, Xu Renjie was nothing, the squires and rich families who followed behind were really frightened, which good citizen could stand the presence of an army of rogues stationed around him? Zheng Feng leaned over again and said in a low voice, "Generalissimo Leader...... Did you do that? In case this guy suddenly does something to us......"

"What if you don't? If you force him away, the situation will only be worse. Xu Renjie frowned: "I only brought 800 people, your thousand townsmen are useless, there are at least 4,000 people in the Chaotian Monkey Department, if it fights, even if I can win, I will suffer heavy losses." If I lose, the old temple town behind me will immediately lose its pillar and be slaughtered by the monkeys! That's why I'm holding him steady for the time being, and I'll make a plan when my reinforcements arrive!" You pass my order, the township warriors will retreat to the town first, and push the townspeople's ox carts, carriages, wagons and other things to the entrance of the town, and make a simple car wall, and the township warriors will guard behind the car wall, if the monkey wants to make a sudden move, you also have a ...... to take precautions."

"I see!" Zheng Feng was convinced, he thought that Xu Renjie was just a big talker, but he didn't expect to look at him as if he was not serious, but when making such a major decision, he also had quite far-reaching considerations. He quickly spread the word to the other squires and wealthy households, and then a thousand townsmen withdrew into battle, retreated into the town, and began to lay out a defensive line at the entrance of the town.

Xu Renjie still stayed outside the town, and the eight hundred soldiers sat down on the spot, maintaining their physical strength while not disturbing the array, quietly waiting for the car wall of Laomiao Town to be erected, which and cautiously retreated into the town.

Fortunately, the chaotic monkey did not mess around, and obediently restrained his subordinates to stay in the thief camp.

At noon the next day, Xu Renjie was having dinner in the restaurant, when he suddenly saw a small group of cavalry on the horizon in the north from the window, and this group of cavalry was about 200 people. Hundreds of feet in front of this group of cavalry, there was a horse galloping in the lead, which turned out to be the scout of Xu Renjie's army.

In fact, this is also an embarrassing thing that the ancient army often encountered, because there were no radios and transmitters in ancient times, and after the scouts found the enemy, it was impossible to use the radio to notify the large army that "the enemy was found in front", so they could only run back by horsepower to report...... The big army simply didn't have time to prepare!

This is also one of the advantages of cavalry in surprise warfare, it is absolutely impossible to reach the enemy's own team at the same time as the scout, so it is almost impossible for the infantry to surprise an army that has released scouts, but the cavalry can easily do it.

When Xu Renjie saw this scene, he secretly screamed "not good" in his heart, jumped up on the ground, and ran towards the restaurant, shouting as he ran: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"How?" The soldiers were a little flustered, this army under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang had fought several tough battles, in fact, they shouldn't be flustered, but the first time they encountered the cavalry, they saw the cavalry team approaching rapidly on the plain in the distance, and they were a little dizzy for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, a car wall was already piled up at the town gate yesterday, and now it is only necessary to use the car wall. Xu Renjie had read several military books and knew the basic tactics of infantry against cavalry, so he opened his throat and shouted: "Form a spear formation, go up to the entrance of the town, and use the car wall as a cover to deter the cavalry from attacking our defense line......"

In a panic, Xu Renjie's army formed a spear formation, and the soldiers shrank behind the car wall at the entrance of the town, stretching out their spears forward, densely packed like hedgehogs. This formation has not yet been completely arranged, the cavalry has reached hundreds of paces away, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves has been heard, although the number of enemy troops is small, but everyone is riding a tall horse, the sound of the horse's hooves landing with a very great majesty, breathtaking.

Many soldiers are so nervous that they sweat, for the infantry, it takes a lot of courage to dare to face the cavalry, because the momentum of the war horse running is very terrifying, if the human being stands in front of the war horse rushing straight over, let alone make defensive moves, it is very difficult to stand firm, no matter how brave you are, you can't help but want to run to the side. Of course, this is not the case with the special forces in some novels, who can kill a galloping horse with one punch or kill aliens with a flying kick, which is not discussed in this book.

Xu Renjie pinched his sweat and scolded in his heart: Damn, Lao Tzu has read a lot of military books, and he thought he understood everything, but when he really saw the cavalry, he knew the horror of this thing, and his legs and stomachs were actually flashed. If a person like me formed an infantry formation against the cavalry, there was no need for the cavalry to move immediately, and the galloping momentum of hundreds of war horses would be enough to frighten our army to collapse...... Looks like I'm still too tender.

At this time, the scout of Xu Renjie's army ran to the entrance of the town first, this scout was quite smart, seeing that the entrance of the town had lined up the spear array, he also knew that he could not run in at this time, if the soldiers on the side put away the spear formation, let a gap and let him in, maybe the enemy cavalry that followed behind would find an opportunity to rush and collapse...... So he pulled the reins of his horse at the entrance of the town, let the horse turn around, and ran out, and the moment he turned the corner, he shouted, "It's the red flag ......."

He only had time to shout these four words, and he had already been carried out by horses several feet away, sticking to the outer circle of the town into the distance, and he couldn't tell a few more words, but fortunately, the four words he shouted out were enough to reveal a lot of information.

Xu Renjie gave the scout an approving look, and with his intelligence, he guessed when he heard these four words: the scout was sentry in the north, found the army of the red flag, and flew back on horseback. Xue Hongqi also discovered the scout at the same time, so he sent a cavalry team to chase after him...... Then it became the current situation where scouts and enemy cavalry arrived one after another.

He looked up at the rushing cavalry, and saw that these fellows were all dressed in light cloth robes, most of them were carrying sabers, and only a few were holding spears. This shows that they are not formally trained cavalry, because most regular cavalry will use a bow first, then a spear, and finally a saber when charging.

Of course, the exception is the Guanning Iron Cavalry in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, who will first bombard the enemy with the Three-Eyed Divine Gun when they assault! Next, I changed to a close-range weapon, a spear or a knife, and of course, there were also people who directly used the three-eyed eye gun as a hammer...... In short, it is not the same as most people's impression of cavalry.

Xu Renjie saw that most of the cavalry teams carrying sabers still held a red flag, and when the cavalry was running at high speed, the flag was unfurled in the wind, shaking in the wind, which was very beautiful.

"Archer...... Shoot the Ground! Xu Renjie waved his hand: "Don't let Xue Hongqi rush over too proudly!" ”

"Yes!"

Whoosh, a few sparse arrows flew out and were inserted less than a hundred paces away, and at this time, the cavalry of the Red Banner was about to enter this distance. The horsemen on their horses pulled the reins almost at the same time, and with a neighing of the horses, the man stood up and came to an urgent halt in front.

"Yo! Monkeys! You were chased by the old lady for a hundred miles, and finally learned to shoot with a bow and arrow? Hahaha! "There was a female knight in the cavalry, this woman was about twenty years old, dressed in red, with a blue belt around her waist, carrying a longbow, and hanging a scimitar at her waist...... is really a heroine among women.

"This ...... Is this a red flag? Xu Renjie was shocked: "Xue Hongqi is a woman?" ”

The surrounding soldiers, squires, merchants, and wealthy families all sweated profusely.

The woman shouted loudly again: "Monkey, not only have you learned to play with bows and arrows, but you have also learned to form spear formations? The lumps of dirt crawling out of the ravine, what kind of elite are you pretending to me? Get out of town and give half of the 108,000 taels to the old lady, or I will chase you to the ends of the earth!" ”

Xu Renjie was stunned, and then he understood, and the red flag regarded herself as a member of the Chaos Monkey, why didn't she turn her attention to the real Chaos Monkey camp next to her? This question is not difficult to guess, if Xu Renjie himself was replaced, he led the troops to chase a scout to the town, how could he not have thought that the monkey was outside the town, and there was another army in the town...... The head of the Monkey is stationed in the town with an elite, and the barracks outside the town are full of miscellaneous soldiers, so this idea is more commonsense.

Xu Renjie smiled bitterly, opened his throat and shouted outside: "Xue Hongqi big ......" It is impossible for the eldest brother to shout out, he shook his tongue and changed his words: "Eldest sister...... How about we sit down and talk? ”
