Hearing that a large number of officers and soldiers had appeared outside the redwood forest, Yang Zheng's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "How many officers and soldiers are there?" How far is it from here? ”

Yang Mazi said nervously: "There are more than 1,000 people and horses, and it is about a few miles away from the redwood forest!" ”

Yang Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Immediately arm, prepare to fight!" ”

"Yes, owner!"

After hearing the order, Yang Mazi immediately went down to prepare.

Soon, in the redwood forest, there was a rapid and piercing sound of gongs.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, the owner of the village has an order, all the old and weak women and children, quickly retreat to the river bank, and prepare to cross the river......"

Hearing the sound of the gong of the early warning, all of a sudden, the old and weak women and children who were cooking on the fire in the woods abandoned all their belongings and rushed to the river beach as quickly as possible under the command of the chief housekeeper Yang Fengnian.

At this time, Zhao Tiequan, Yang Meng and other strong men who were carrying the raft to the river, after hearing the sound of the gong warning, immediately threw the raft to the ground, picked up pistols, bows and crossbows and other weapons and equipment, and rushed towards the redwood forest in a hurry.

In just a moment, the entire redwood forest was tense and anxious.

Yang Zheng had already jumped out of the carriage and commanded at the scene with a solemn expression.

"Uncle Zhao, third brother, Shi Yuan, the three of you with a hundred strong men, immediately go to the camping place last night, all the cattle, horses, snail carts and other baggage, all lined up, put out a defensive formation, before all the old and weak women and children cross the river, you must block the enemy's attack, and do not let them break through the defensive line!"

"Yes, owner!"

Zhao Tiequan, Yang Shiyuan and others gave up their orders, and then led hundreds of strong men to quickly deploy a defensive line in front.

After they left, Yang Zheng ordered Yang Xiu again: "Yang Xiu, you take twenty men, and you are responsible for cooperating with Steward Yang to escort everyone across the river!" Remember, during the crossing of the river, you must not panic, otherwise if someone falls into the river, I will only ask! ”

Yang Xiu took a deep breath and said loudly: "Don't worry, the owner of the village, this matter is on me!" ”

After arranging everything properly, Yang Zheng immediately took Yang An and quickly ran to the front defensive position.

At the front end of the redwood forest leading to the riverbank, dozens of oxen, horses, and snail carts loaded with supplies were connected end to end, forming a defensive formation of 200 meters long, and more than 100 strong men were evenly distributed in the chariot and horse defense line.

Yang Zheng stood at the back of a carriage, looked up and looked ahead, only to see that above the vast wilderness, a large number of heavily armed officers and soldiers appeared.

The officers and soldiers continued to advance towards the redwood forest, and soon, the distance between the two sides was less than a mile.

After seeing Yang Zheng coming, Zhao Tiequan, Yang Shiyuan, Yang Meng and other core leaders gathered in front of him.

"Owner, it is estimated that in half an hour at most, the officers and soldiers will attack our defense line!"

"I just don't know, are the people who came today the descendants of Mobeihou? If it is a garrison army in the nearby counties and towns, with the weapons and equipment in our hands, it can barely cope with it. If the people and horses who come are the Mobei Army, if we want to defend it, it is estimated that it will be difficult! ”

Yang Zheng nodded, "Act when you see the opportunity, retreat while fighting, as long as Yang Xiu and them successfully cross the river with all the old and weak women and children, we don't have to hold on!" ”

At this time, Yang Meng suddenly said: "Big brother, we don't have many pistol bullets at the moment, but the number of bows and crossbows and arrows is quite a lot, I have a suggestion!" ”

Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Say!" ”

"Big brother, we have a total of twenty-three pistols, and the total number of bullets is only two hundred and forty rounds, if we distribute them evenly, it will be difficult to play a role at all. I suggest pooling all the pistol bullets and dedicating them to the five men with the most accurate marksmanship, so that they can keep an eye on the situation and go up to support them if there is a lot of pressure on the defense. ”

Mobile support squads?

I didn't expect the third brother to look frizzy and reckless, but he still has some war minds.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good, just do it!" ”

After that, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Mazi, and said, "Yang Mazi, you wait with Yang Dapeng, and select three more gunners with accurate marksmanship to act as a mobile rescue team!" ”

"Mobile Rescue Squad?" Yang Mazi was stunned for a moment, obviously confused by this modern word, but after listening to Yang Meng's suggestion just now, he knew what to do later.

Seeing that the enemy's men and horses in the distance were getting closer and closer, at this time, Yang Zheng took out a submachine gun and prepared to temporarily teach the three of them to use the submachine gun in just a few seconds!

Anyway, they had learned to use pistols before, and a simple firearm like a submachine gun should be relatively easy to handle.

………………

Luo Kedi sat on the war horse, staring at the redwood forest three hundred steps away, and his expression gradually became cold.

This gang of thieves simply don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they want to reach their own attack with a mere mule-horse cart formation, which is really ridiculous!

Tightening the Xuanbing armor on his body, Luo Kedi's mind once again resurfaced what Mo Beihou said to him three days ago.

"Kill all the people in Yangjiazhuang, you can't do it, come and see you!"

Thinking of this, Luo Kedi secretly shook his head, these people in Yangjiazhuang are really bold, they even dare to kill the prince of the marquis of Daliao!

Now that Mobei is furious, how can they live?

If it weren't for the hateful Western Xia spy in Lianyun Mountain, Mo Beihou would have personally led the elite cavalry to chase and kill him.

This time, on the orders of Mobeihou, he came to chase and kill the gang of rebels in Yangjiazhuang, in order to prevent the rebels from escaping from the Daliao crossing, Luo Kedi only brought two hundred Xuanjia elite horsemen.

Xuanjia elite cavalry, wearing the high-grade armor refined by the armor division, difficult to hurt by swords and guns, brave and good at fighting, is the most elite cavalry under the command of Mobei Hou, and is also the sharpest knife in the Mobei army.

Two hundred Xuanjia elite horses are enough to deal with just one Yangjiazhuang.

At this moment, in the wilderness, in addition to the two hundred Xuanjia elite cavalry led by Luo Kedi, there were also thousands of garrisons and guards drawn from several nearby counties and towns.

These local armies are all Han Chinese, and they are used to die as cannon fodder.

If you don't use this group of Han garrisons to charge, consume the mysterious firearms of those thieves, and your own Xuanjia elite cavalry, I am afraid that I will suffer damage.

Thinking of this, Luo Kedi sneered and looked at the appearance of this group of city defense garrisons, and said lightly: "Where are Captain Yu and Captain Chen?" ”

Two Han generals wearing captain's uniforms hurriedly ran to their horses, bowed and saluted: "My subordinates have come to see Lord Duwei, I don't know what your lordship commands?" ”

Luo Kedi said with a smile: "Master Hou has an order, as long as you can take down those anti-thieves, you will be promoted to the third level, and your future is immeasurable!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two Han lieutenants lit up, and they all raised their heads and patted their chests and said: "Lord Duwei rest assured, there are only a bunch of people in the mountains and fields, why do you need Lord Duwei to do it, his subordinates and others will definitely lead the men and horses to capture all the thieves!" ”

Luo Kedi laughed, "Then there are two captains of Lao!" ”
