"Huh?" should be taken aback by Ziyin, and looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's not easy to resist 20,000 or 30,000 enemy troops with 10,000 troops, and Brother Xiu even has to divide his troops again?

Shangguan Xiu said: "I plan to take three battalions of brothers to stay in Xiolu Village, and Fang will lead seven battalions of brothers to be stationed outside the village, listen to my orders, and wait for the opportunity to move." If the defenders of Oulu City come out and attack the village of Theolu, you don't have to worry about me, you can lead the army to take Oulu City, if the enemy army does not come out, you and I can join forces and flank the enemy!"

Hearing this, Guang Fang's face was shocked, and he said urgently: "Brother Xiu, this arrangement is too dangerous, what if the Besa army is dispatched? Brother Xiu only has three thousand brothers, how can he resist?"

Shangguan Xiu said: "The Besa army is pouring out, you can take the opportunity to attack Oulu City, Oulu City is attacked, and the Besa army is bound to come to the rescue, so that not only will the crisis on my side be solved, but I can also lead my brothers to hunt down and kill the enemy." ”

"But......" Guangfang still felt that such an arrangement was too risky.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Fang, you must lead your troops to hide in a hidden place and not be discovered by the spies of the Besa Army. As he spoke, he looked at one of the Dark Flag officers and asked, "Is there a hidden hiding place around here?"

The Shadow Banner officer immediately took out the map, spread it on the ground, looked at it for a while, pointed to the north side of Xiolu Village, and said: "There is a mine here, and there were people in the mine before, but now that the two countries are at war, the people who opened the mine have already run away, and the mine is very suitable for hiding." "Bai Plating means that hey, Brother Yan, look at the heart of the mouth chapter

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu looked at the map carefully, feeling that the distance between the mine and Oulu City and Xiolu Village was not too far, he nodded, and said: "Fang, you led seven battalions of brothers, just hide in the mine, waiting for my flying eagle to pass on the book." ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Seeing that Shangguan Xiu's tone was resolute and his mind had been decided, Guang Fang didn't say anything more and nodded heavily. Shangguan Xiu said: "Order all the brothers to be stationed in Xiolu Village to fortify, and when it gets dark, you will take the brothers out of the village quietly!"

"Okay!" Guangfang agreed, and said worriedly: "Brother Xiu, be careful!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's go and do things!"

Next, the gendarmerie entered the village of Theoğlu with great fanfare, and dug trenches and earthen walls on the periphery of the village to build temporary fortifications.

The gendarmerie is a lightly armed force, and its main duty is to enforce the law, not to attack cities, so there are not many artillery pieces in the gendarmerie, only ten in total, and they are all light artillery, the range is not far, and the power is not great.

Fortunately, there were two mortars among the ten cannons, and when it was dark at night, Shangguan Xiu asked Guangfang to take away the two mortars, and if they really wanted to attack the city, they needed to use mortars to break through the walls of Oulu City.

To make a long story short, Guangfang led seven battalions of gendarmerie to quietly leave the village of Sioğlu and go to the mine to hide. Shangguan Xiu followed the fortifications outside the village, patrolling as he went. Late at night, he patrolled to the fortifications east of the village.

It faces the direction of the city of Oulu, and if the Besa army is attacking, it is most likely to appear here.

When Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei walked here, several sentry gendarmes were sitting around the bonfire, and there was a big black pot on top of the bonfire, which was steaming and exuding the smell of meat.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu coming, several gendarmes hurriedly stood up, intervened in the salute, and said in unison: "My lord!"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to them and motioned for everyone to sit, he stepped forward and asked, "What are you cooking?"

A young gendarme, in his early twenties, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Today, the adults killed a few dogs in the village, and we picked one up." ”

Shangguan Xiule shook his head at Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei on the left and right, and said, "It just so happens that I'm hungry too, sit down and eat with my brothers!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, sat down among the gendarmes, and then borrowed a bowl from the gendarmes beside him, and without disgust filled the pot with a bowl of soup, and drank it with a squeak.

The soup was under the stomach, Shangguan Xiu sighed comfortably, and grinned: "It's delicious!"

Seeing this, all the gendarmes laughed together, and their tense nerves gradually relaxed, and they were no longer as restrained as they were just now. The young gendarme who spoke took out a piece of bread from his arms, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said with a red face: "Adults can try to eat it with bread dipped in soup." ”

Shangguan Xiu took it with a smile, broke off a piece of bread, dipped it in dog broth, and ate it with relish. In fact, Besa's bread is not delicious, at least it is not in line with the taste of the wind people, in the words of Zhenjun Jun's military editor: one or two bites are very fresh, and three bites and four bites are difficult to swallow. The taste is sweet and sour, and sour in astringency.

After eating the bread in a few bites, and drinking all the soup in the bowl, Shangguan Xiu put down the bowl and said quietly: "Now I really miss Zhenjun's buns, they are big and fresh, take a bite, and the soup will be sprayed out!"

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but swallow vigorously. Shangguan Xiu smiled, picked up a branch, filled it into the bonfire, and said: "No matter where the battle goes, it is not as good as your hometown, I hope this battle can be finished as soon as possible!"

No one is born with a love of war, and many times they have to fight. In order to survive, we must weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves, and war is the most direct and convenient means.

"Your Excellency......" A gendarme was about to speak, when Shangguan Xiu suddenly raised his hand to stop his words. He tilted his ears sideways, as if listening to something, and the smile quickly disappeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "There are enemy troops!"

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei's bodies were shocked, and the two of them fell to the ground together, their ears were close to the ground, and after listening carefully for a while, the two raised their heads and said, "It's a cavalry!"

Shangguan Xiu stood up and said, "Gather your brothers and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Sensing the attack of the enemy, the gendarmerie in the village did not panic or give a warning sound, and people came out of the tents, or hid behind earthen walls, or cats in the trenches, silently reloading the muskets and aiming their guns forward.

The night was dark, and I couldn't see the enemy or hear the roar of horses' hooves, but when I put my palms on the ground, I could clearly feel that the ground was trembling slightly.

It was the reaction of the cavalry galloping on horseback, and the reason why the sound of the horse's hooves and the roar of the war horse could not be heard was that the other party wrapped the horse's hooves with cotton cloth and sealed the horse's mouth with a cloth bag.

The incoming enemy must be cavalrymen who are accustomed to conquest and have rich experience. Shangguan Xiu stood behind an earthen wall, with a torch stuck next to him. He closed his eyes, felt the flow of air, and tapped his fingers lightly on the earthen wall.

After five or six minutes, Shangguan Xiu's eyes suddenly opened, two cold lights shot out of his eyes, he waved his hand to take off the torch inserted on the side, and his arm turned outward, and the torch swirled in the air and flew out. This torch flew out at least more than 30 meters away, and when it was in the air, the flames were only a small lump, and after they landed, the flames became larger, and the space outside the village was also illuminated. Seeing this, the members of the gendarmerie hiding behind the bunkers also lit their torches and threw them out.

For a while, outside the line of defense of the gendarmerie, twenty or thirty meters away, a long fire dragon appeared. People looked intently at the light, and after less than half a minute, a war horse took the lead in galloping out of the dark night, and the knight on the horse, with an iron bucket helmet on his head, only two eyes exposed, wearing heavy plate armor, and chain mail inside, holding a cold and shining spear in his hand, and a white coat behind his back, like a demon rushing out of the dark night.

Shangguan Xiu shouted: "Shoot!"

With his order, the sound of fire crackers sounded in the trench and behind the earthen wall, and the projectiles that flew out hit the night, and I heard people shouting and neighing, and the muffled sound of poofs continued.

People couldn't see what was going on outside the line, so they could only fire blindly into the night.

Boom, boom, boom –

The eight guns in the gendarmerie line also roared in unison, and flames erupted from the chambers of the guns, firing shells one after another.

After a while, the shells exploded outside the defense line, and while the flames from the explosion were produced, people finally saw clearly, outside the defense line, there were all Besa cavalry, a piece of silver flowers, and they couldn't tell the number, and they couldn't tell how many people there were.

Soon, the Besa cavalry rushed within twenty meters of the defensive line through the fire dragon made of torches. Shangguan Xiu shouted: "The brothers in the trench retreat!"

The cavalry charged too fast, and if the people hiding in the trenches did not withdraw now, they would not be able to withdraw if they wanted to. Under the command of Shangguan Xiu, the gendarmerie in the trench climbed out one after another, retreated behind the earthen wall, and continued to shoot outside.

A distance of twenty meters, for a cavalryman, is instantaneous. The cavalry rushed to the front of the trench, and some of the cavalry jumped over the trench on horseback, while some of the cavalry failed to jump over, and even the men and horses fell into the trench.

There was no chance to climb any further, and the cavalry behind trampled on their companions in the trench and swarmed by.

Crossing the trench and approaching the earthen wall, the cavalry spears of the poles stabbed forward with the help of inertia.

Many of the gendarmes could not dodge, and were killed on the spot when they were hit by the oncoming spears in front of the door. The blindfolded war horse didn't care, it just charged forward vigorously, and directly hit the earthen wall, booming.

The earthen wall built up also collapsed under the continuous impact of the war horses. The cavalry in front fell, and was trampled directly by the cavalry behind. The horror of the cavalry charging into battle can only be truly felt when you are in it.

In the galloping of thousands of horses, people seem so small and vulnerable.

The cavalry of the Besa army charged and tore through the defense line outside the village, and the gendarmerie began to retreat into the village, relying on the buildings in the village as cover, and shooting the Besa cavalry into the village with firearms. In order to cover the evacuation of as many soldiers under his command as possible, Shangguan Xiu stayed in the defense line outside the village and did not take a step back.
