Chapter 123: Mountain rain is coming
In the next half a month, Ye Zheng handed over all the tasks of training each branch of the Fire God Hall to Niu Tiezhu and Niu Sanyan.
Because, before this, he told them all the skills about operating and using various arms and equipment, and also led the rookies to practice, so now the members of the No. 540 Fire God Hall have basically mastered the tricks of operating arms and guns, but they are not very proficient for the time being, as long as the training time is long, practice will naturally make perfect.
Now that Niu Tiezhu and Niu Sanyan are by his side to help take care of him, Ye Zheng is also at ease, he is not a very hard-working instructor, and now he can be lazy, so he is even less in charge. Except for the fact that the Fire God Hall would notify him of any problems encountered during the training process, under normal circumstances, Ye Zheng rarely went over to supervise their training.
Just when Ye Zheng was training the Fire God Hall and preparing to use it to resist the army of the imperial court in the future, the bandits in the entire Qunying Village did not rest.
Under the supervision of their respective leaders and leaders, they practiced every day, striving to improve the combat effectiveness and strength of the mountain bandits. There are also some mountain bandits, under the order of Liu Chengfeng, who have placed a large number of traps and traps in many dangerous places outside the Black Dragon Valley, in order to wait for the officers and soldiers to come in the future, so that they can play a certain role in interference and defense.
At the same time, a large number of eyes and ears were also sent out in the cottage, disguised in various counties within the jurisdiction of Linjiang City, to listen to every move of the imperial court at any time.
Finally, on the twenty-eighth day of Ye Zheng's establishment of the Fire God Hall, that is, at the end of the second month of the second month when they moved to the Black Dragon Valley, the many eyeliners placed in the Linjiang jurisdiction finally had important information coming.
It turned out that the 10,000 regular troops in Linjiang City who were requisitioned and transferred by King Liang to fight outside the border finally returned to the city ahead of schedule! Moreover, there was a special character who followed the army back to Linjiang City, and that character was Ge Rentu, who was a powerful general under King Liang and one of the four major killing gods under King Liang.
It is said that this Ge Ren Tu is not only strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, which makes the enemy smell the color change, and what is even more frightening is that this person is cruel and murderous, especially likes to slaughter prisoners of war. In the past, as long as there was a large group of mountain bandits in Qingjiang County, he was sent to lead troops to exterminate them.
Seventeen years ago, the king of Liang was ordered to Qingjiang County just arrived in Qingjiang County, at that time, Qingjiang County was rampant, there were many thieves, especially the two places of Confucius Lake and Xiaomi Mountain, respectively, gathered more than 50,000 bandits, those bandits joined forces in Qingjiang County to capture more than a dozen cities, slashed and killed countless court officials, the court sent several large armies to encircle and suppress, all defeated and returned, and then as soon as King Liang took office, he immediately sent Ge Rentu to suppress the bandits.
Who would have expected that this Ge Ren Tu, with less than 5,000 regular troops, would kill the more than 100,000 people of the rebels and scatter and flee, and finally the leaders of the two gangs of bandits saw the bravery of the officers and soldiers of the enemy, and surrendered and were captured. However, on the shore of Confucius Lake, the Nagar people slaughtered the more than 10,000 rebels who had surrendered and were captured, and brutally waved their butcher knives, slaughtering all the 13,000 unarmed captives.
And on that day, the water of Confucius Lake was stained red with blood. At the same time, from that day on, the name of Ge Rentu's ruthless and cruel god-killing god was spread.
As soon as Ye Zheng and Liu Chengfeng received the news from Linjiang City's eyeline, they immediately held an emergency meeting in the Gathering Hall, and this meeting summoned all the mountain bandit leaders and important leaders in the cottage.
At this time, Ye Zheng sat condescendingly on the tiger skin chair, he leaned slightly sideways, bowed his head and muttered for a moment, and asked the leaders of the mountain bandits: "Brothers, what do you think about the army that was requisitioned in Linjiang City to return to the city ahead of schedule?" After saying this, he also glanced at the reactions and expressions of the leaders below with his eyes, and found that most of them looked worried with frowns.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng sighed softly and said, "Alliance leader, this time the army of Linjiang City returns to the city, it is estimated that it will not be long before the government will use troops against our Cangliang Mountain." ”
Ye Zheng nodded, frowned, and said, "I know this, but that guy called Ge Rentu is really that powerful?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and at this time, the lord of Xiahou Village said: "Alliance leader, you may not know, that Ge Rentu is best at suppressing bandits, and in Qingjiang County, I don't know how many mountain bandits and rebels have passed through this person for so many years, if King Liang sends him to Cangdeol to suppress bandits this time, then the enemy we face this time will be quite tricky." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the bandit leaders present expressed their deep agreement.
After hearing this, Ye Zheng also lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and said: "No matter how powerful and fierce this Ge Rentu is, we have to fight him to know, and now our top priority is to make all preparations for war, and pay attention to every move of the officers and soldiers at any time." However, I personally think that the current situation is not as bad as you think, our Qunying Village now occupies the geographical advantage of the Black Dragon Valley, even if we are defeated by the army of the imperial court in a head-to-head confrontation, we can also rely on the danger of the terrain here to defend the Black Dragon Valley, making it difficult for them to take a step forward. ”
When Liu Chengfeng heard this, he nodded and said: "What the alliance leader said makes sense, even if we can't defeat the army led by Ge Rentu, we can rely on the Black Dragon Valley to defend it, anyway, in our cottage, there is enough food and grass, even if we are besieged by officers and soldiers for a year and a half, we don't have to worry." What's more, if we can afford it, other officers and soldiers may not be able to afford it, besides, didn't our alliance leader train the Fire God Hall, the power of the alliance leader's firearms, you haven't seen it, anyway, as long as the alliance leader is there, let's not worry about it, what we have to do now is to follow the alliance leader's arrangements and orders. ”
As soon as the leaders of the mountain bandits heard this, they felt that what Liu Chengfeng said was very reasonable, anyway, there was a high top when the sky fell, besides, they knew the horror of Ye Zheng's firearms, they had seen it many times when they went to attack the county seat before, even if Nage Ren Tu really led the army to attack the Black Dragon Valley in the future, as long as Ye Zheng and the Fire God Hall he had just established were there, then the enemy would not be afraid.
Although these leaders had not yet seen the members of the Fire God Hall make a move, they clearly knew that all the people in the Fire God Hall were practicing the art of manipulating firearms, and as for what kind of firearms they were practicing, then they didn't know.
However, during this time, the training of the Fire God Hall was quite secretive, and the people in the cottage, except for the constant sound of explosions and roars coming from the Black Dragon Pond ten miles away, basically couldn't figure out what strange things those people in the Fire God Hall were training, and why the movement was so loud, and they could hear the sound within a radius of more than ten miles.
