Chapter 453: Competition

In the mountains, Wu Gen looked at the hot scene in front of him with satisfaction. On the hillside, the soldiers of the Dreadnought Army and the people sent by Ji Ye are building a camp.

It is a slope halfway up the mountain, not far from the foot of the mountain, and there is a mountain spring passing by it. Descending from the slope, there is a mountain road that winds its way down.

At the foot of the mountain is a vast grassland, and the cavalry can directly rush to the cold land city in the south after descending the mountain. Further up, there is a mountain valley, like a huge pillar, along the mountainside, the terrain suddenly steep, to the top of the valley but becomes flat and wide, accommodating 2,000 people is not a problem.

Since getting Ji Chen's permission to expand the Dreadnought Army by 3,000, Wu Gen led people to carefully survey the terrain of Xingshan, and after several comparisons, he finally chose this place.

The camp was actually divided into two parts, the mountainside was where the cavalry and horses were housed, and the top of the hill was where the baggage and other horses were housed.

Wu Gen is going to wait for the treasure elephant to come out after they come, and make some fresh things out, and this is also a pre-preparation.

Looking at the big banner of Ji and the banner of the dreadnought army that were erected in the middle of the camp and fluttering in the wind, Xue Xin and the others were full of energy.

After tossing and turning in Kuntianzhou for so long, I can finally set up camp openly and honestly, and I don't have to worry about money and food.

This is a great blessing for the dreadnoughts who are used to hiding and hiding. In the camp, there are also some Terran women who are busy, preparing food for everyone.

These people were all sent by Ji Ye and Ji Yan. Coupled with the original dreadnought, Wu Gen now has more than 500 subordinates.

Moreover, according to the agreement with Hua Yanlin, Wu Yan was going to get another group of people from Liangqi Village on Yanxing Road, and it should not be a problem to gather 1,500 people.

There was no way, although the establishment of 3,000 people was given, the dreadnought army could not recruit people from the local area. The average shepherd who can afford to be ruled by a human race is like recognizing pigs and sheep as their boss.

Therefore, Wu Qian could only find a way to collect some Terrans and replenish manpower as soon as possible. Wait for the great cause of counterinsurgency to begin later, and then think of ways to make up for the heads.

At the foot of the mountain, dozens of horsemen were rushing in the direction of the camp. Wu Yan squinted, stood on a mountain rock and looked carefully, the people who came were Ji Ye and Ji Yan.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they greeted the two of them, and let the companions rest at the foot of the mountain, and Wu Yan took Ji Ye and Ji Yan to simply walk up the mountain.

Looking at the camp that had already shown a rough outline, Ji Yan was a little excited,

"Wu Gan, I heard that your dreadnought army has fought all the way through Bailing Province. I've brought fifty people here today, so let's give them a try. Wu Yan laughed at himself when he heard this: "I still killed and pierced, I was chased all the way by others, if I really want to be able to kill and penetrate, why should I defect to your brother." "After being in contact with Ji Yan for a long time, Wu Yan also knows his human nature.

Ji Yan is cheerful, but she is not smart, she understands some things at a glance, but she is just pretending to be stupid by being young.

When you get along with such a person, you don't have to be pretentious, even if there is some offense between the words, you don't have to care.

I have to say that I was born in a powerful family, I have seen a lot, and my vision and mind are really extraordinary.

"Okay, I've inquired about it, you have traveled all the way, so that those big and small families dare not make a move, and send them out like a plague god. Come on, let's fight, you don't need real knives and guns. Ji Yan looked excited and eager to try.

Since the last time the three brothers and sisters of the Ji family agreed on the Northern Army, Ji Chen reported to the head of the family, Ji Xin, that she really had to give her 2,000 soldiers and horses.

This can make Ji Yan very excited, thinking about her own 2,000 people all day long. Every three days of labor, five days of rewards, a lot of money into it, all of which she personally delivered to the soldiers.

Wu Yan can be sure that these two thousand people are definitely loyal to Ji Yan regardless of their combat strength. Even if the high-ranking generals have different intentions, there will be no chaos in the army, because the middle and lower-level soldiers are loyal to Ji Yan, and if they want to rebel, I am afraid that the people below will not agree.

"Wu Gan, if you can't do it, let's fight, it will be a competition between the armies of the Northern Army." Ji Ye shook off his sister who was pulling his sleeve hard, and suggested helplessly.

Wu Yan looked at Ji Yan who was full of anticipation, nodded, turned his head and shouted at the busy camp: "Xue Xin, pick fifty people and compete with the Northern Army Robe." Ji Yan excitedly took out a piece of paper, avoided Wu Gan, and stood on a high platform to carefully look at the people in the camp.

With Wu Gan's order, I saw a man with high trouser legs and a brick knife in his hand to build a wall, and beckoned a group of people to stand up.

Looking at these strong men who were no different from the people, Ji Yan glanced at Wu Yan with some doubts,

"This is your men, how can they still work."

"That's right, how can you do it without fighting and working now. If the camp is built, you still have to farm, fish and hunt, what's so strange about this? Wu Gan spread his hands, looking like he took it for granted.

The dreadnought army has been like this since its inception, and if you don't work, you can't eat.

"Okay." Ji Yan was a little speechless, glanced down at the paper in her hand, and then looked up at Xue Xin and the others who were wearing armor.

Wu Yan was curious about what was written on this piece of paper in Ji Yan's hand. The figure flickered, and quietly came behind Ji Yan, her eyes glanced at the paper, and her face couldn't help but darken.

On this piece of paper, the names of his subordinates are densely written, and there are a few brief sentences on it, recording some achievements in Bailing Province, but many have added one

Obviously, the person who inquired about the news is not completely sure about this. And behind his name, it is clearly written that he is cunning, unauthorized attack and killing, and easy to use methods.

Sensing Wu Gan's arrival, Ji Yan raised her head, and folded the paper into her sleeve without embarrassment.

"I was just curious, so I inquired more, can't I." Wu Yan shook his head and walked in front of Xue Xin with a snort,

"You can't lose, you can't kill each other. According to the rules, you are not allowed to use weapons, and the rest is up to you. "You can't be killed, that means you just don't die.

For a while, these old men who had been by Wu Gan's side for a long time all understood his intentions. So, it took a little longer to wear the armor.

Ji Yan saw that these people were muttering, and they ran to the camp for a while before they came out, and some of them were still hanging big bags and small bags on their bodies.

Looking at these soldiers who walked up with clanging bodies and strange styles, for a while, a bad feeling rose in Ji Yan's heart.

In terms of the weapon configuration of the dreadnought, except for the three things of knives, guns and bows, the rest are set according to their own preferences, and there is only one rule, which can kill, otherwise don't take these rags with you in vain.

At the foot of the hill were two groups of men and horses, armed with wooden knives, spears and arrows, and armor on each other.

Wu Yan asked people to set up three chairs on a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, invited Ji Ye and Ji Yan to take a seat, and the three of them jointly decided the results of the competition.

The two teams pulled a distance of 500 paces, and they were ready to charge. This kind of small-scale confrontation is more of a test of the soldiers' own strength.

The people sent by Ji Yan this time were all heavy horses, not only people, but even the horses were tightly wrapped.

On the other hand, the dreadnoughts were much shabby, because they came from Zuoheng Road, not to mention the horses, many of them were just covered with armor on their chests.

With such a thick armor, how can a wooden gun and a wooden knife cut through, is it a little shameless. Wu Yan glanced at Ji Yan with some resentment, this woman raised her head a few times arrogantly, looking like you have the ability to come and beat me.

With an order, Ji Yan's subordinates held long sticks in their hands, slowly activated, and rushed towards the dreadnoughts on the opposite side.

The wide hooves of the horses stirred up the fresh earth, and the rhythmic sound of hooves was heard like the sound of a drum urging war. The cavalry was getting faster and faster, the shining armor glistening in the sun, and the horse's muscular muscles almost bursting.

These people are all heavy cavalry, and they adopt the most commonly used front and arrow formation of cavalry, which is concentrated and has strong impact power, and can chisel through the opponent's army in one fell swoop.

Heavy riders, in particular, have little to stop their onslaught once they get up to speed.

On the other hand, Xue Xin just set up a wide phalanx, like a fence wall, quietly waiting for the other party to charge.

Compared to the other party, their war horses were obviously half a head smaller. If it really wants to collide, it will definitely be the dreadnoughts who will suffer.

Soon the dreadnoughts also moved, but not forward, but backward, along the foot of the hill.

"Wu Gan, what are your people doing?" Ji Yan, who was watching the battle, jumped up from her chair and pointed to the two groups of people in the distance, one behind the other.

"Run." Wu Gan's face was indifferent, and his hands were spread,

"If you can't beat it, you have to run."

"Run? Fleeing without firing an arrow, how can they be worthy of the tiger husband of our northern army. Ji Yan was so angry that she kept stamping her feet and pointed at Wu Yan with her hand.

Wu Yan waved his hand lightly and motioned for Ji Yan to sit down,

"My third young master, running is also a means of fighting, as long as you win in the end, it is a good means." Ji Ye tugged at his sister's sleeve and glared at him fiercely,

"You just sit down and just watch, what is the girl's family talking about."

"Hmph." Ji Yan rolled her eyes and sat in her seat with a grunt. The dreadnoughts led Ji Yan's men to run wildly at the foot of the mountain, but they did not go straight forward, but slightly staggered an angle.

After a lap, the distance between the two teams shortened a little, but at the same time, the direction of the two teams changed imperceptibly.

Originally, the Dreadnought was located in the northeast, but at this time, it was reversed, located in the southwest. At this time, the old man above his head happened to shoot directly at Ji Yan's subordinates.

On the hillside, looking at this dull pursuit battle, Ji Yan couldn't help but feel a little boring, so she grabbed some snacks and ate them.

It was her first time to lead the army, so she naturally wanted to win, but this way of winning was really boring. Ji Ye on the side didn't think that Wu Yan would be so boring, and carefully watched the dreadnought's every move.

When the two teams changed directions, sniffed the air, and looked at the hunting and flying flags in the barracks, Ji Ye was a little surprised.

"My sister is watching." As soon as Ji Yan was reminded, I saw a dreadnought army flying a field of arrows. Unlike regular arrows, these arrows have a paper bag tied to the front.

In this competition, although Ji Yan's subordinates also brought bows and arrows, they did not plan to use them. An arrow that has lost its arrow is not even too light to tickle when it hits the armor.

Seeing the other side shoot arrows, these heavy horsemen did not even dodge, allowing these arrows to fall on their bodies. Bang bang clumps of powder blasted out from the arrow.

The powder floated in the air, creating a cloud of mist in the air.

"What is this, I can't see." Someone was shouting, rubbing their eyes desperately, and even the horses under them were jumping around, obviously they were also hit, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

"Don't panic, follow along, and get out of this smoke." The leading officer shouted, tears streaming down his eyes, barely able to see, and in his heart he had already scolded the dreadnought army up and down, even with his ancestors.

When they broke out of this cloud and mist, the officer found that the dreadnoughts who had been fleeing had now divided into two teams, like the water flowing back from a fountain, turning around and running towards him.

The men did not go straight to the heavy cavalry, but separated a wide distance, and each team was more than twenty paces away from the heavy cavalry.

"Throw." With Xue Xin's order, dozens of flying stone ropes flew out and landed at the feet of the heavy rider. Many galloping horses stumbled and fell to the ground.

The war horses beside him were blocked by it, and they also fell down one after another. In just one such raid, more than thirty horses lost their combat power.

The whole procession stopped, and the people shouted and neighed, and there was chaos. The dreadnoughts swooped in with their opponents, regrouped together, and roared towards the cavalry still standing at the tail of the heavy horsemen.

"Don't panic, throw guns." The heavy cavalry officer rose from the ground, glanced helplessly at the bare stick in his hand, and led his men to charge towards the dreadnoughts who followed.

The sticks in the heavy rider's hands flew out, and it worked. Even the sticks, among these well-cultivated heavy riders, shot some of the dreadnoughts off their horses.

"guys." With Xue Xin's roar, the dreadnoughts took out stone hammers and stone axes from their bodies, and some people were in a hurry for a while, so they simply took the bags filled with stones and rushed up viciously.
