Chapter 2: Down-and-Out Bandits
If you want to avoid the military disaster in front of you and stay alive until Houjin retires, you must have enough food in your hands.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng, who sighed long, asked Zhao Yun directly in front of him: "Old Zhao, you are the closest person to me in the entire cottage." Tell me how many families are left in our cottage. According to my deacidification, the Houjin Tartars who surrounded Zunhua City did not have a few months, and it was impossible for them to retreat. If there is no food, we must not survive until the retreat of the Golden Tartars..."
Hearing the words 'family background', Zhao Yun's honest face directly became gloomy.
After taking a deep breath, he replied under Wei Zheng's gaze: "Big boss, there were originally more than 140 people in our cottage. However, because of today's loss, only the last 63 of the 140 people were left. β
Seeing the disappointed expression on Wei Zheng's face, Zhao Yun followed up and added: "Although there are only 63 people left, the remaining 63 people are all young and middle-aged without exception, and none of them are old or weak. β
At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly interjected: "Lao Zhao, say a word from your heart, in this world, food is the most important." If there is no food, it will be useless for us to have many people. When the time comes, we will not need to attack us with Tartars, even if we are hungry, we will starve to death. β
"So, what I want to know most now is our food reserves....how much food is left in the whole cottage..."
"This..."Zhao Yun's facial expression, which was still gloomy just now, was actually covered in despair at this moment.
As a result, a trace of bad premonition quickly surfaced in Wei Zheng's mind.
Facing Zhao Yun, he asked rhetorically: "Old Zhao, don't we have any food in our hands anymore... How is it possible, we are bandits, how can there be no food. We don't even have food, and we're too down-and-out bandits..."
Hearing this, Lao Zhao seemed to think of the more than seventy brothers who had just died at the hands of the Tartars. Wei Zheng replied with a heartache: "Big boss, if we have food in our hands, we won't take such a big risk to rob the Tartars with whom even the officers and soldiers dare not fight in the field, and our cottage will not lose more than seventy brothers at one time..."
Although he didn't see the escape he had just experienced, he told Zhao Yun in front of him. Wei Zheng already knew that if it weren't for those dead brothers, he would never have escaped the pursuit of the Tartars and returned to the cottage.
Whether it was out of the desire to avenge the death of his brother, or out of his hatred of the Tartars, that is, the later Manchu Qing.
Wei Zheng's face, which was still calm just now, was directly covered by an unprecedented sΓΉ. Zhao Yun comforted him in a firm tone in front of him: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, the brothers will not die in vain." I, Wei Zheng, swear to heaven here, sooner or later, I will let these Tartars pay for their blood debts and make the Tartars pay..."
In Zhao Yun's view, Wei Zheng's assurance was definitely a big thing to say to comfort himself.
Because, it is still unknown whether the current cottage can even continue to hold on, let alone revenge, and it is also to seek revenge on the invincible Houjin Tartar army.
However, no matter what Wei Zheng thought in his heart, Zhao Yun's heartache still showed a hint of relief because of this.
After a short period of contemplation, he replied to Wei Zheng: "Big boss, we still have a little food in our hands." However, all of this food is coarse grains, and it is only enough to last us for seven days......"
Hearing this, a wry smile full of helplessness quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face, and he asked Zhao Yun rhetorically: "Brother Zhao, I heard you right....coarse grain that is only enough to last us for seven days is also called food....I kind of understand, we people say that they are a group of bandits who have fallen into the grass, but in fact, they are not much different from the homeless people outside, and they can't even eat." β
After speaking, ignoring Zhao Yun's changing face, he continued: "There is no food, let alone silver, there must be no either. Besides, in this chaotic territory of Zunhua, even if we have silver in our hands, we can't buy food..."
Just when the expression on Wei Zheng's face slowly changed from helplessness to disappointment, and then from disappointment to despair step by step.
Zhao Yun's words suddenly changed, and he said: "Big boss, although we don't have much food in our hands. However, we have one thing in our hands, and that is weapons. β
"Since the Tatar knock, with a large number of officers and soldiers collapsing without a fight, weapons can be said to be everywhere in the entire Zunhua territory. Our cottage also took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of small fortunes. β
"Today, before departure, only officers and soldiers can have standard weapons, although not to reach one per person. However, after the loss of so many people, almost all of the remaining 63 people had a standard weapon for officers and soldiers. β
"If we don't meet Tartars. With such good weapons, even if we collide with two or three hundred officers and soldiers, we can kill them to the ground. β
Finally hearing such good news, Wei Zheng's desperate face also showed a glimmer of hope.
If you don't have food, you can go to the Tartars and grab it. However, if you don't even have weapons, you won't even have a chance to grab them. Judging from the current situation, although the whole cottage is down, at least there is still the capital to continue to operate.
Because Wei Zheng only suffered a head injury, early the next morning, as if nothing happened, he began to conduct the most basic physical training in the only courtyard of the cottage, that is, the courtyard of his own big master.
Although Wei Zheng's memory has many combat skills that surpass this era, these skills require a certain amount of physical fitness to be displayed. Although the body he currently occupies has brute strength, if he can't train all his limbs flexibly, he won't be able to show many of the fighting skills and movements he has learned.
Therefore, when the sky was just dawning, Wei Zheng began a day of training.
However, what puzzled Wei Zheng was that he had been exercising in the compound for three hours, and there was still no movement in the cottage of Nuoda...
"Could it be that these bandits are still sleeping, and they don't usually train..."Wei Zheng, who had not really seen more than sixty of his subordinates, thought secretly in his heart.
At this moment, Zhao Yun happened to come to the compound where he was. After seeing himself who was training, a stunned expression appeared directly on his face.
It wasn't until he asked the doubts in his heart that Zhao Yun reacted from his shock.
"Big boss, you won't even forget about this, right... Although our cottage still has a week's rations, these grains have to be boiled into porridge before we can eat them. The brothers drink porridge three times a day, and there is no meat, how can they have the body to train. In addition, in order not to starve, many brothers just lie down on the ** to sleep. Zhao Yun replied as a matter of course.
Wei Zheng, who was still holding the last glimmer of hope for the cottage, was shocked again.
At the same time, I finally understood: why in yesterday's battle, more than 100 bandits with absolute superiority in strength could not win even a dozen Houjin Tartars.
It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars is too strong, but that the combat effectiveness of his own subordinates, that is, this gang of bandits, is too poor. Not only is the combat effectiveness poor, but they are also hungry to fight the Tartars.
Letting such a group of people fight against the elite Houjin Tartars, in Wei Zheng's opinion, is no different from sending them to death.
After a short period of contemplation, he said to Zhao Yun in a firm tone: "No, we can't let the brothers rest like this, otherwise, the next time we meet the Tartars, we will also have no room to fight back." The brothers must be raised and trained, and only when the training is done can we go out and grab food, and with food, we can live longer..."
Zhao Yun shook his head and asked, "Big boss, I know that you are thinking about everyone." However, when you can't even eat enough food, and you don't get meat for several days in a row, how do you let your brothers train...."
Under Zhao Yun's gaze, Wei Zheng directly affirmed in a non-negotiable tone.
"If there is no food, we will find a way to find food, and if there is no meat, we will also find a way to find meat..."
Seeing Zhao Yun in front of him, who frowned tightly and quickly fell into deep thought, Wei Zheng pointed to the mountain behind the cottage and asked, "Brother Zhao, if nothing else, there must be a lot of prey in this mountain behind us..."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up suddenly, but it only lasted for five seconds before it quickly dimmed.
He nodded first, then shook his head again, and finally spoke: "Big boss, there are not only prey in the mountains behind, but also many big prey like wild boars. But we have no bows and arrows, no muskets, and we have no hunters here, so we can't shoot our prey even if we see it. β
Survival in the wild is definitely the most basic lesson for a special soldier.
And if you want to survive in the wild for a longer time, hunting is one of the compulsory courses for special forces. Wei Zheng, who was standing in front of Zhao Yun, was a very good hunter in his previous life.
After a smile quickly flashed at the corner of his mouth, he decisively ordered Zhao Yun in front of him: "Who said that you can't hunt without a bow and arrow, don't worry, with me as a big boss, tonight, everyone will definitely eat meat..."
After speaking, he directly ordered Zhao Yun, who was in shock again, in front of him: "Brother Zhao, you immediately go to find twenty brothers with good skills, bring shovels and big knives and go hunting with me into the mountains, be fast, now is the time to hunt..."
Zhao Yun didn't leave immediately, but asked in a daze: "Big boss, you know how to hunt....but, how come I have never heard of it, when did you learn to hunt..."
Wei Zheng waved his hand and said loudly: "You don't care when I learned, go find someone right away......
