Chapter 81: The Mengyuan Han Army (1)
And with this short body, there is a clear gap in his shield defense.
At this moment, several spears that had long been ready to fire had already seized the opportunity to stab hard. The sword and shield soldier tried to block the tip of the spear, but the tip of a spear stabbed straight into his abdomen.
In an instant, the sword and shield soldiers, who had just been alive, suddenly froze their movements.
When the tip of the gun was withdrawn, he collapsed.
And before he fell, Ma Lan had already shifted the target of the attack. As soon as the hands were pulled horizontally, the two-handed swords slashed horizontally at the sword and shield soldier on the right.
The sword and shield soldiers, who had lost their flank defenses, had no choice but to let go of the front and resist Ma Lan's attack.
He successfully blocked Ma Lan's two-handed greatsword, but unfortunately the difference in strength made him unable to stand like the sword and shield soldier before. And because he stumbled involuntarily, he also knocked his companions around him crookedly, causing obvious problems in this shield array.
And this gave other villagers a chance to kill the enemy.
Most of the villagers' martial arts skills are not on the table, but they all have spears, spears and other long weapons in their hands, as long as they gather together and dare to stab in front, it is enough to cause terrible damage.
As a result, a few more sword and shield soldiers fell here.
Ma Lan didn't care about the life or death of these sword and shield soldiers at all, he was now the peerless fierce man who couldn't open the door, standing at the entrance of the village as a mainstay, and all the enemies who wanted to go from the entrance of the village had to pass him first.
And until now, no one has been able to do that.
Although the strength of the enemy is unexpectedly strong. So that in many cases, he can't do a one-hit kill. But if you are wounded, you can't effectively kill the enemy and protect yourself. And destroy the formation and create opportunities for the villagers behind him to kill the enemy, he can definitely do it.
And that's what he's been doing all the time.
As for the rest of the sweeping work, it is left to the other villagers.
Otherwise, if he really has the courage to do everything, it is impossible for him to block the enemy's wave after wave of crazy attacks.
These enemies. This is no ordinary enemy. They are organized and in formation, and it seems that many of them have practiced martial arts.
It turned out to attack this idyllic idyllic village. Not a bandit at all, but an army from the imperial court.
This army is said to be the regular army of the imperial court, but the military discipline is extremely corrupt, and occasionally acts as a bandit who burns and loots.
Anyway, as long as all the people who were burned and looted were killed. And no one knows that they did it. Most. That is, to report that a place is not quiet, and there are many thieves.
Nowadays, in the world of the Great Yuan Dynasty, where are not thieves rampant, bandits infested, and occasionally one or two villages destroyed, isn't that a normal thing?
Maybe if you are lucky, when the harvest is good, the Shangguan who has shared the benefits will think that they are quite sensible. Give them a military merit to suppress bandits.
Those dead heads, when they are not real. It can act as the head of a "unwarranted" bandit. Anyway, there is no mark to distinguish between the head of a bandit and the head of a civilian, who can tell the difference?
Therefore, it is really beneficial to act as a bandit once in a while.
But this time, they really didn't come to pretend to be bandits, but they were really catching bandits.
In this village called Linshui Village, there is a leader of the rebel army (bandits), surnamed Pang. This person started trouble with other bandits in the field, and after the defeat, he hid incognito. But he didn't want to, a person who knew his feet betrayed him, and as a result, there was this encirclement and suppression.
Of course, when arresting bandits, burn and loot them, which is also the proper meaning of the question. Since this Linshui Village can produce bandit leaders, they are naturally the same party of the bandits, and it is common sense to kill them all!
The Great Yuan Dynasty has always done things like this, and it has been done for hundreds of years, and it can still sit firmly.
If this bandit leader surnamed Pang can be arrested, it will be a real military feat. When the time comes, it can be expected.
When Shangguan took the benefits, he was always very confused.
The reason why they can be so easily fooled is because these Shangguan are willing to be fooled, not because they are really confused to be fooled.
Therefore, the military merits of "suppressing bandits" and the military merits of capturing and killing bandit leaders are treated completely differently when rewarding meritorious deeds. If the operation is better, maybe you will be able to mix a thousand households of the Han army.
Ever since Li Changlong got the news of the bandit leader surnamed Pang, he has been fantasizing about the infinite scenery after becoming an adult of a thousand households. In his mind, the bandit leader surnamed Pang, who had been seriously injured, plus a small village with no name, was not easy to capture.
But reality gave him a heavy blow.
Although this village is nameless, it is really a very hard and hard bone, and his diaphragm hurts and hurts, and he still has a tendency to break his head and bleed.
The sturdy earthen walls, with some regular fortifications, combined with a large number of villagers fighting to the death, are really a headache. If you don't pay the price, you can't take it at all.
However, no matter how powerful a village is, it is only a village after all, not a town with high walls and plenty of soldiers and civilians. As long as you are willing to pay the price, it is only a matter of time before you take it, it is nothing more than a few more deaths.
What is the purpose of raising subordinates?
Isn't it just for the blade?
Now is the critical moment for him to make contributions, as long as he takes down the bandit leader surnamed Pang, it is very likely that a thousand households of the Han army will be able to get it. With such a big benefit, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it, and what is the small life of a few subordinates?
It's a big deal, just give more compensity!
Maybe if this happens, other soldiers will feel that he has clear rewards and punishments, sympathize with his subordinates, and support him even more!
Li Changlong thought very well, but the process of the war made him angry, angry, and very distressed.
He doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates, but when his subordinates die too much, his power base will be shaken. And once he loses power, it will definitely be fatal.
He could never have imagined that there would be so many masters in this small village.
The strong man who led a group of mud-legged men to fight at the entrance of the village was definitely at the level of a fierce general in the army. Even Li Changlong, who was conceited and brave, did not dare to boast of victory.
In the first engagement, his miscellaneous soldiers, who thought they could easily level the village, were defeated by the strong man alone without psychological preparation. If it weren't for his good methods of governing the army, and he led his troops to block it in time, the entire army might have been crushed.
In the next battle, Li Changlong didn't dare to let the miscellaneous soldiers take the lead anymore, so he let his elite also go up.
And this one has become a war of attrition. (To be continued......)
