"Daddy! Bainiling is okay, but there is also a road to the south of Bainiling, if the official army is willing to go around far, wouldn't it be in vain to set up an ambush in Bainiling? Liu Hu hurriedly retorted when he heard Liu Laohan's words.

Liu Laohan said: "You have to walk more than 20 miles to the south. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou thought for a moment, immediately made a decision, and said: "If he doesn't take the northern route, I will ask him to take the northern route!"

Qinling, you send someone to ride a fast horse to the northeast to explore the road, send a few more, bring three days' worth of dry food, guard at the gate of the county seat, observe the movement of the county, as long as the official army comes, come back immediately and report

Tell me to stop training today, let the infantry and recruits rest, and when the other group of brothers arrives in the afternoon, let them set out together after dinner, and I will take 50 cavalry and guides to Bainiling to explore the road first. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou explained the tactical design and alternative plans to everyone.

Half an hour later, Zhuang Shaoyou took fifty of the most elite cavalry and guides and marched in the direction of Bainiling.

After an hour of departure from Liujia Village, Zhuang Shaoyou rode to Bainiling.

Zhuang Shaoyou dismounted and climbed a high ground to check the surrounding conditions, the surrounding hills are undulating from south to north, until the north seashore, the mountains are a one-zhang wide road winding and undulating, sometimes high and sometimes low.

There is a depression in the mountains, and the depression is white near it.

The guide explained that those were white mud, and he didn't know what it was for, so Zhuang Shaoyou immediately took someone to check it.

Half an hour later, when I came to the front of the white mud, I studied it carefully, and found that the white mud was actually lime, quicklime.

Zhuang Shaoyou pondered how to use the lime while checking the surrounding situation.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked casually, "Is there a water source nearby?" ”

"There is a mountain spring on a hill two miles from here, and the flow is very small." The guide hastened to answer

"Is it possible to lead here?"

The guide pondered for a moment and said, "It can be, but it's very troublesome, you have to reroute the mountain spring to a depression not far away, and then lead it here." ”

"I need you to lead the mountain spring to the puddle in front of you, accumulate it, the more the better, and when the officers and soldiers come, let it flood here at one time, I will give you three hundred people, can you do this in one night?"

"Yes, General!" The guide replied excitedly, such an important task, so that three hundred people listened to his words?

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at the excited guide and said, "After the water is stored, if you have time, send someone to the depression in front of you to break all that white mud into powder, but remember, don't get it on your body!" Those who go should also get a cloth and cover their noses with water! Hear no! ”

"I heard you!" The guide shuddered when he heard Zhuang Shaoyou's stern voice, and woke up from the excitement just now.

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at the white mud around him and laughed: "God really help me!" Originally, I hoped that the officers and soldiers would come as few as possible, but now the more they come, the better! ”

After that, Zhuang Shaoyou took fifty of the most elite cavalry and ran in the direction of the county seat.

———————————

It was just getting dark, and the county government of Liaodong County.

An obese young man sat on the top, his already irregular eyebrows were twisted into a ball, his fat face was huddled together, his small eyes shot out bursts of cold light, his chubby hands were on the back of the chair, trembling slightly, and he looked at the few disheveled servants kneeling below:

"You bunch of waste, you can collect the thieves if you collect some taxes, and you have nothing to lose!"

One of the officials said, "Your Excellency, you can't blame us, but those thieves are all well-trained soldiers, all of them are fierce and vicious, and one person can beat us seven or eight, and they have horses, and there are many more people than us." ”

Under the fat man, there was a man in his thirties, with a dignified appearance, a calm bearing, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, very sharp, and when he heard the official say that Arima immediately came to ask with interest"

Oh? Cavalry? How many people are there? ”

In order to hide his incompetence, the official opened the river:

"Back to the general, there are a lot of people on the other side, and it's night, and we can't see clearly, I'm afraid there are thousands of cavalry! Chase us everywhere! ”

"Fart, can you still come back with thousands of cavalry?" The general was furious

"General, maybe it's just a few hundred, yes, it's just a few hundred, it's not very real." The servant replied cautiously.

"Humph! If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut you first! The general made a fury gesture and drew his sword in half.

The official shuddered and hurriedly changed his words: "General, spare your life!" The small one may be a few dozen cavalry, less than a hundred. This time it's true! The general spares his life! ”

The general returned to the scabbard and smiled, "It's pretty much the same." ”

The fat man at the top said, "General Chang, how do you think this matter should be handled?" That's cavalry, and I can't count on these rice buckets. ”

General Chang said: "Lord Zhou, rest assured, this time the last general was ordered to come to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and by the way, to solve these rebellious people, it is just a gesture, not enough to worry about!" Tomorrow I will send to destroy them!" ”

The fat county commander said with a smile: "With General Chang here, it is invincible!" It's just that the county seat is an important town in southern Liaoning, and there is no room for error, General Chang went to exterminate those Xu anti-thieves, and he didn't have to catch them all, right? ”

General Chang was very contemptuous in his heart, this ghost who was afraid of death, but he still said with a normal face: "Lord Zhou is right, tomorrow I will leave five hundred people to help Lord Zhou guard the county seat." ”

The county commander hurriedly said: "General Chang's name is powerful in Liaodong, and the thieves are invincible, but one village and dozens of good thieves, is it too much for General Chang to bring 2,500 people?" ”

General Chang frowned and said, "Then according to Lord Zhou's meaning, what should I do?" ”

Fat County Ling smiled: "How about two thousand?" Leave a thousand to defend the city, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army has thousands of people, and the combat effectiveness is strong, if they suddenly come to attack the city, and General Chang is not there, I am afraid that my five hundred wastes will not be able to hold the county seat!

Originally, with General Chang's supernatural powers, it was enough to have a hundred personal soldiers, but the official was also worried about the safety of the general, after all, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and if the general is injured by a stray arrow, it is not good, so let's take two thousand people, so that the general's will be safe. ”

General Chang said with a dark face: "Then according to what Lord Zhou said, the last general will retire." ”

General Chang went out and scolded in a low voice: "This strangler, if you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death, and you say it so high-soundingly, but you describe me as a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for someone above you, I really want to chop you with a knife!" This damn fat! Two thousand is two thousand, just a few thieves! ”

The county magistrate in the house was also full of disdain: "This reckless man has always been unable to get along with me, and he dares to take credit from me, and he can't choke you to death!" It's better that you die in the chaos!

Well, I'll have to find a way to join him, but he'll have to keep his soldiers! It's been a messy year, and I can't sleep well without confidence. ”

———————————

Zhuang Shaoyou advanced at full speed, and after dark, he arrived at a hidden place in the south of Wuli County, where several subordinates who monitored did not find anything abnormal.

Zhuang Shaoyou sent people to continue to monitor in turn, and then the rest of the people ate and rested.

There was no movement in the county overnight

Early the next morning, Zhuang Shaoyou had just finished breakfast, and the people who monitored the city gate reported that the officers and troops were dispatched, the number was two thousand, seven hundred crossbowmen, seven hundred sword and shield bearers and pikemen, and one hundred cavalry guarded General Chang.

Zhuang Shaoyou personally stepped forward to check, General Nachang and a hundred cavalry were in the front, followed by crossbowmen, sword and shield men and pikemen on both sides.

Zhuang Shaoyou frowned a little, this General Chang seems to be a courageous person, otherwise he would not personally walk in the forefront, and the combination of troops is also very decent, he would rather slow down than be foolproof, he is a calm person.

But now that this arrow has to be sent, I can only fight for it.

So he quickly retreated, gathered his troops, prepared the crossbow machine, wrapped the horse's hooves, and quietly moved towards the officers and soldiers.

Half an hour later, the official army appeared in the field of vision, and when the official army passed by, Zhuang Shaoyou found a good time to launch the cavalry to charge the official army, and the official army soon discovered the movement

General Chang was a little surprised, this gang of thieves is too bold, right? Fifty people dare to rush into battle? It seemed that there was a deception, so he ordered his subordinates to hurry up and deal with it carefully

Zhuang Shaoyou and the others, when they rushed to two hundred paces, suddenly made an emergency turn, and fifty crossbow machines were thrown towards the formation of the officers and soldiers, and hundreds of arrows were fired in one round to catch the officers and soldiers off guard, and there was some confusion for a while, but they were quickly suppressed by General Chang.

The crossbowmen of the official army quickly counterattacked, but the distance between the two sides was too far to reach at all, and Zhuang Shaoyou turned urgently and did not rush forward, so the bows and arrows shot out were all in the air, and General Chang hurriedly ordered to stop shooting.

In these days, even for the official army, arrows are a very valuable resource.

The range of ordinary bows and arrows equipped by the officers and soldiers is about 100 to 150 paces, and the range of crossbow arrows is about 150 to 200 steps, which is considered good.

Zhuang Shaoyou got a hundred special crossbow machines from the Mo family, with a range of up to two hundred and fifty steps, and it is two consecutive shots, which can be operated by a single soldier, and the time to change arrows is only a little longer than the single crossbow of the official army, which is the top technical level in this era.

Zhuang Shaoyou is very happy now, this is also normal, you can hit others, others can't beat you and stare at you, everyone has to be happy,

Zhuang Shaoyou pondered how to extort some more crossbow machines from Moshi, it was best for his subordinates to be equipped with this kind of crossbow, but it was not easy.

Unless you promise that Mo Hai will be the giant of the Mo family, but if you are not forced to the last resort, it is better not to be that giant,

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and it is quite a headache to look at the mess of the Mo family, the best way is to only put up a name, and leave the matter to the Mo Shi

Well, that's it!

Zhuang Shaoyou was happy while looking back from time to time to check General Chang's reaction.

General Chang was also hesitating at this time, which one of these people sang like this all of a sudden? Lure the enemy deeper? Harassing tired?

Well, such a method can be used once, but it will not work next time, and if the officers and soldiers dare to come again if they are prepared, they will be sent to death, it seems that they are luring the enemy to go deeper!

Then there are more than these fifty people in this group of thieves, there must be an ambush in the south, and the terrain in the south is flat, and the mountains are scarce, if you want to ambush me, there must be at least a thousand people!

Could it be that these cavalry are in league with the Yellow Turbans? Quite possibly! In that case, then I'll go north, not south!

If I am allowed to bring everyone out, I will divide my troops into two ways, and I will personally go to the south, so as not to respond to all changes, and I will not be afraid of them ambushing, and there will be so many things! This damn fat!

General Chang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go north.
