On a mound by the Yulong River, Yang Bo rode on a horse, quietly watching the groups of soldiers walking under him......

The first to open is the sin barracks holding high the blood flag, full of leather armor, each with a snow-bright ghost head knife on his back, the calf wears himself as an iron-clad King Kong, showing off his might to lead the way in front, followed by the arquebus assault infantry battalion, two rows full of spearmen in black chain mail, a row full of musketeers in red cotton armor, the chief officer Tie Niu takes the lead, and after the infantry battalion walks through is the smoothbore artillery battalion, the mortar cannons are stacked on the cars of the baggage team, they are wearing iron armor, holding swords and shields, and behind them is Xiao Mochou's logistics team, In addition to the mule carts, there is also a team of people, and finally the special forces battalion, they are all strong, although the formation is not as compact as the front, but Maojiatun has the strongest combat effectiveness is them, and the rapid march is very easy. Around these teams, the Tang horses with various small flags behind them were galloping back and forth, Yang Bo had less than five horses in his hands, and for this battle he transferred ten horses from all over the stone mortar, and also requisitioned a few horses from large households, except for the chief officers of each team, the rest were allocated to the Tang horse sentry horse, Yang Bo did not plan to return the horses.

The whole Maojiatun was alarmed, those family members were waiting on the side of the road early in the morning, and even the craftsmen of the artisan household camp put down their work and ran over to watch the army go out, and the biggest scene of the salt protection team was just the confrontation training organized by each company, and they saw all the military horses of Maojiatun gathered together for the first time, although there were only more than 600 people, but the military appearance was also very majestic, just thinking of the number of bandits, they were weak in their hearts, and the strength was so disparity, can Lord Yang win? Some women couldn't help but quietly wipe their tears when they saw their men walking by with a determined face, who knows if they can come back alive from this expedition? They wanted to cry, but they didn't. Han Erjia said that if anyone dared to disturb the morale of the army, their men would be punished.

In fact, Yang Bo doesn't know if he can win the battle, the Wenxiang Sect has now coerced nearly 10,000 people, although most of them don't even have weapons, strictly speaking, they are a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes, but there are more ants biting elephants, and they can only adjust the battle plan temporarily according to intelligence.

Yang Bo waved his hand, Wang Yuanshan and the patchwork team also began to move, most of these family members are Yan Kunzhi, Wang Yuanshan also has a few, the total number is less than fifty, although these people have no discipline at all, but all of them are superb in martial arts, Yang Bo uses them as personal soldiers, and as reserves in wartime.

The four gates of the Andong Acropolis were closed, and yesterday afternoon, there were countless dense incense-smelling bandits passing under the city, rushing towards the Jiacang town north of Andong Wei, seeing that these bandits had no intention of attacking the city, the civil and military forces in the city breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to go out of the city to invite battle, the bandits were powerful, and it was not until the evening that these bandits were finished.

The officials of the left and the front are in the Acropolis, but the military households are scattered outside, and there are only a thousand soldiers in the entire Andong Acropolis, plus the seven seven eighty-eight servants, and the family is less than two thousand people, this point of people is not enough to plug the teeth of others, Wei Dong jumped his feet in a hurry, sent people to Pegasus to Qingzhou Mansion, the military preparation road, the Qingzhou garrison, and the coastal defense road for help, and urgently ordered the three institutes to mobilize military households to Andong Wei to listen to the use, but the left Li Qianhu hanged himself, and most of the military households under his rule were coerced by the bandits, and the people sent out have no news now, In addition to the previous Niu Qianhu temporarily summoned a few hundred people, Yang Bo of the Shijiu Institute also had no news, how could he not make Wei Dong angry?

Just as he was considering whether to send someone to urge the stone mortar again, a shout suddenly came from the city wall!

"It's over!"

Wei Dong's face turned pale and he collapsed on the ground, "It seems that the bandits have started to attack the city?" ”

A housekeeper hurried in and was startled to see his adult lying on the ground.

"My lord, there is an army of officers and soldiers lining up outside the city, it looks good, it's not strong!" Jia Ding hadn't reacted from the shock yet.

"What? Are you saying reinforcements have arrived? Which soldiers and horses came to the rescue? ”

Wei Dong was like grasping a life-saving straw, and without waiting for Jia Ding to answer, he bounced up from the ground: "Quick, go, go to the city wall"

When Wei Dong came to the city wall, there was already thunder of joy on it, and they cheered while pointing downward, Wei Dong dragged away a guy from the Pacification Division and squeezed in, looking down intently.

Under the north gate of Anton Wei, a team of officers and soldiers stood quietly in front of the moat about a hundred paces, black and red military uniforms echoed each other, looking from the city, the spears stood like snow, and the eyes were full of red tassels on the bright helmets beating.

Anton Wei had never seen such a powerful army, and they cheered and asked each other about the officers and soldiers along the way.

At this moment, a Tang horse wearing black armor with a red flag on his back rushed out of the formation, and he couldn't stop when he reached the edge of the moat, and everyone watching in the city couldn't help but cheer.

The Tang horse shouted loudly towards the city: "Wang Yuanshan, a thousand households in Shijiu, Yang Bo, a deputy thousand households, and Yang Bo with Maojiatun, Jingbiantun, and Zhaojiatun Santun military households have come to suppress bandits, please command the envoy Lord Wei to give instructions."

Hearing this, the city wall exploded with a bang, these people are actually the military households of the stone mortar?

Wei Dong parted everyone and waved his hand at the small army, and at this moment, Wei Dong became the focus of attention.

Wei Dong was overjoyed in his heart, but he pondered for a moment before saying, "Wang Yuanshan, what about Yang Bo?" Let them come to me! ”

Natang Ma bowed slightly and arched his hand: "If you go back to your lordship, Lord Wang and Lord Yang are leading the rear army to rush here, and there is also Lord Yan Kunzhi of the Soldier Preparation, the three adults are afraid that the news will not be clear, and the special envoy will come to report to Lord Wei first."

Wei Dong nodded reservedly and asked, "Do you want to enter the city first?" ”

The pond horse was about to answer, and there was a sudden noise on the city wall, and in the distance, another standard of military horses marched towards Anton Wei, raising countless dust, and it seemed that the rear army had also arrived......

The soldiers and civilians of Anton Wei were full of enthusiasm and discussions, how could they not have imagined that not long after the last time they suppressed bandits, how could the military households of this stone mortar have become more fierce again? For a time, Maojiatun became the focus of everyone's discussion.

That night, the salt guard team entered Andong Wei to rest, and when they left the city early the next morning, the salt guard team had already added a team of more than 200 people composed of family members and military households. Seeing Lord Yan's face, Wei Dong also gave Yang Bo some mules and horses, and Yang Bo invited Wei Dong to accompany him in the name of earning military merits, but Wei Dong refused after thinking for a while on the grounds that he still needed to stick to Anton Wei and should not be moved lightly. Last time in the chessboard pass in one day to break the four villages, I heard that there were only more than ten casualties on my side, Wei Dong is very confident in Yang Bo's salt protection team, but this time the situation is different, even if more than 10,000 bandits line up on the ground and wait for you more than 600 people to cut, it will take half a day to cut, Wei Dong is not a fool.

Yang Bo did not walk fast, maintaining a march speed of one twenty miles, and along the way, he had to clear out the small bandits who had broken away from the brigade and were in groups of three or five to cause trouble.

Because the number of people was too small, Yang Bo was afraid that someone would make dumplings, so the outpost was placed three miles away, and there were special forces of ten people scattered around him to clear out the remnants of the bandits at any time.

The further I went, the more villages I had experienced after the robbery of the bandits along the way, all kinds of furniture and miscellaneous items, clothes and bedding were thrown to the ground, and from time to time you could see one or two corpses of women with their whole bodies ** and their lower bodies stuffed with wooden stakes, these tragic situations were seen by the soldiers, and there was no need for any mobilization of the teaching team, and every soldier clenched the weapons in his hands......

It was getting late, and Yang Bo was thinking about where to camp tonight, when suddenly a black smoke rushed into the sky in the distance!

"My lord, the town of Jiacang has been burned!" A sentry arrived just in time to report

"How far are we from Sandwich Town?" Yang Bo looked at the firelight and asked slowly

"I've already sent someone to ask, this place is called Niutou Mountain, and it looks less than thirty miles away from Jiacang Town," the sentry rode back.

Yang Bo nodded: "Go and let the captains of each team come to see me"

The sentinel took the order, and with a roar, pulled out his horse and galloped away

Soon, the commanders of each battalion came to the banner of the Chinese army, and in order to convey the message, these people were all assigned horses, Yang Bo beckoned them to squat down on a hill, and motioned for Xiucai to take out a map.

Xiucai pointed to the location marked on the map with the town of Jiacang and said: "After passing Niutou Mountain, except for a few groups of remnants of bandits, our army has not made contact with the enemy's main force, and the ground in front is flat, and the sentry cavalry has not found any trace of the enemy. Thirty miles further to Jiacang Town, the Wenxiang Sect bandits have now burned and plundered in Jiacang Town, what the adults mean, we will do him in Jiacang Town! ”

Hearing that they were about to start, everyone came to the spirit and started to talk about it.

"Can't you do a night attack?"

Xiao Mochou looked at the current sky and hesitated: "It's no problem to march thirty miles in a hurry, but what about my baggage team?" ”

Yang Bo nodded: "It's just a night attack, I guess these people won't camp elsewhere, they will definitely stay in Jiacang Town tonight, other teams don't dare to fight at night, we are veterans of night fighting." ”

Xiucai said: "It only takes two hours to travel thirty miles with heavy loads, and your baggage team is rushing behind, and we will wait for you for two hours after we arrive, and then we will do it when these bandits are asleep." ”

Tie Niu asked, "Big brother, how are we going to fight when we arrive?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "We don't fight, just attack the camp, smell the fragrance and teach the crowd, and rashly go deep will only fall into disadvantage, we will first bombard it with fire guns and smoothbore artillery battalions, and the sin military camp and the family ding team will be interspersed, and set fire to their shacks along the way, we must let them mess up, separate the military households and people who are coerced from the bandits, and then gather all the military horses, and tie the tail of the horse to branches and other things, thinking that the ambush soldiers are making loud noises and clamour, forcing them to flee in the direction of the Zhaozhao, and the pikemen and special forces are in reserve, just in case they ......."

Xiucai said again: "If you are afraid that it will not be easy to identify in the dark, let them tie a white cloth on their arm." ”

Yang Bo waved his hand, and Zhengse said: "This battle is related to the key to the extermination of the main force of the Wenxiang Sect in the future, it is the responsibility of my generation to protect the territory and the people, you are cautious!" ”

Several people answered together

"Yes, my lord"
