Chapter Thirty-Eight: They Are Really Destined
Thousands of miles of smoke and rain in Yangzhou, merciful at night.
Jun sings and laughs and asks the sky, and the sound of the pipa breaks the lovesickness. "Stepping on the brute bull, blood debts and blood repayment." At this moment, the morale of the two hundred guards reached its highest point. All the guards and soldiers of the Le'an Army are brave and aggressive, and the soldiers are respected by those who have many achievements, and they are proud to be buried in the mausoleum of the meritorious heroes after death. As soon as he heard that he was going to go out to kill the bandits again, he was immediately as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. If there is anyone in the team who is not excited, it must be those new recruits who have just joined and adapted from bandits! After forcibly marching for several hours without any military training, he was already tired and had no strength, and now he had to fight with the bandits, and these people didn't greet Wang Fan and the female friends of the Wang Si family in their hearts. Although they were very tired, they also knew that they could not change Wang Fan's determination (Fei Talk, the hatred of killing relatives, not sharing the sky, how could Wang Fan change his determination. So all they can do is lie on the ground like dead dogs.
Looking at the twenty recruits who were already lying on the ground, Fan Xiwen didn't say anything, after all, they were able to hold back and not run away without any surveillance, which had already made Fan Xiwen regard them as his own soldiers. Fan Xiwen, who loves soldiers like children, will not be very harsh on his soldiers. At this time, Fan Xiwen has risen to the height of loving soldiers like a son in his mind.
When Fan Xiwen ordered the troops to rest, such a scene suddenly appeared in a certain place, where a group of bandits surrounded two carriages. There was an old man and two beautiful women in the carriage. The bandits shrunk and kidnapped the old man and the beautiful woman to their cottage, and then locked them in a small dark house.
The lair of these bandits seems to be on a somewhat dangerous mountain, which is full of sentry posts and many traps around, in addition, this mountain is also a good place to defend and difficult to attack, on one side is a dangerous cliff, which can be safely transferred when the enemy comes to attack without fear of the enemy attacking from the back; On one side is a flat land, which makes it impossible for the enemy to lurk, and allows for a massive cavalry charge. It can be seen from here that some bandits still used their brains when building this cottage.
Well, back to the point. If Fan Xiwen was here at the moment, he would definitely shout: "It turns out that there is really such a coincidence in this world, I have to say, beauty, you really have a little bit of material to be a slot machine waiter, with you, you will definitely make which casino burst." You're too tough, and you're a thief again and again. Is your charm so great! "Mu is wrong, everyone knows the protagonist of this robbery, surnamed Qiao, named Wushuang, nicknamed by people, the first beauty in Jiangdong. A good beauty actually made a cameo appearance as an unlucky girl at the moment, and she had to cooperate with Fan Xiwen to play a beautiful woman to save a hero, uh, it was a good show for a hero to save a beauty.
Hehe, Fan Xiwen's fate with Qiao Wushuang is really not shallow! Mu Cuo, the thief who kidnapped Qiao Wushuang is the Barbarian Cow Village.
The guards had just eaten and drunk enough to prepare for a lunch break, but at this time, the scouts sent out to guard came back to report that Fan Xiwen was sitting on a small dirt slope north of Wangjiazhuang in a daze at the moment.
Wang Fan didn't want to disturb Fan Xiwen, and listened to the information directly.
The Anping Army scouts roamed around, and the search target was directly aimed at Le'an's personal guards.
At that moment, Wang Fan immediately ordered all the squadrons that were resting to withdraw into the woods to evade.
Of course, this is just a small episode, the latent technology of Le'an's personal guard is not at all something that can be discovered by garbage scouts like the Anping army, and the two armies are not at the same level at all. As long as the guards did not take the initiative to attack, the Anping Army scouts would not be able to detect it at all, even if the two armies were less than fifty paces apart.
The squadron leaders of the squadrons began to assemble soldiers and check the condition of equipment, which was a necessary task for all Le'an troops before the battle. All the soldiers of the Le'an Army are equipped with jerky and rice balls compressed by a simple press when marching, and each squad is equipped with an iron pot, unless it is a large-scale operation, it will not be equipped with a cooking squad, which greatly maintains the number of soldiers available for combat in the army, but at the same time the disadvantages are obvious, such troops can not carry out tough battles, lack of endurance, and cannot fight for a long time. To this end, the top management of Chuzhai has been trying to find ways to improve.
The guards swallowed two rice balls with jerky, and the meal ended in a hurry, as the commander of the guards, Fan Xiwen ate with the guards, and the dry food they ate was the same as the guards, which was another unwritten rule of the Le'an Army, and the generals were happy.
"Blow the rallying trumpet, the whole army will slow down for a quarter of an hour, and send scouts to explore the road first." Fan Xiwen sat on the horse, using a bamboo skewer to pick the shredded meat between his teeth, looking indescribably comfortable. To be honest, Fan Xiwen is already very satisfied with his current life, before he put it, Fan Xiwen would definitely not be able to eat these things, not because he didn't have it at home, but because he had another hidden secret. Fan Xiwen's school implements a campus card system, and students can eat whatever they want. Fan Xiwen, who is longer than the rules and shorter than the rules, often uses up the living expenses of the month in the first half of the month, and in order to cope with the next half month, Fan Xiwen often asks Fan Fengming for dinner, but even so, there will still be a few meals to endure on an empty stomach.
The unique horn of the Le'an Army sounded, and the soldiers who heard the sound immediately gathered at Fan Xiwen's office. A minute later, all 220 guards arrived, Fan Xiwen threw away the toothpick in his hand, grabbed the stiff rope with one hand, grabbed the leather whip with the other hand and whipped it on the horse's back. Manniu Village, originally a small cottage, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban, the owner of the village Hu Liu took the opportunity to start an incident, claiming that the Yellow Turban robbed the nearby villages, after the Yellow Turban was defeated in the Changshe, Hu Liu became a thief again, and returned to the Manniu Village, but in those days of doing the Yellow Turban, Hu Liu relied on robbery to make the Manniu Village have as many as 1000 troops, and all are well-equipped elites, and he also hijacked a scholar to give him ideas. The government's several advances were mostly given to him by scholars, and the official retreat several times made Huang Liu even more arrogant, robbing a village in three days and a township in five days. The disturbed people could not live, the families moved innumerable, and Wangjiazhuang was also deserted.
The reason why Fan Xiwen wants to raise troops to attack Manniuzhai is not only to get the 1,000 elites of Manniuzhai, but also to want Wang Fan and Wang Si to completely return to their hearts, so Fan Xiwen must defeat Manniuzhai, and it is a frontal attack.
