Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 100 Yellow Sparrow vs. Praying Mantis

"That...... Isn't it okay for us to train them and just pull them up and fight?" Xiao Niu said and lowered his mouth, and seeing that Yang didn't understand much of it, he told him about the "bittersweet memories" that he had done for the captives in Nanshan before.

Yang Dayi was surprised at first, and then smiled: "This is a good idea, it is indeed a good way to arouse their dissatisfaction and fighting spirit before going into battle.

However, when it comes to the event, the approach can be changed. For example, if you don't have the kung fu to sit around, can you gather together and talk about it; If it's too hasty, you don't have to talk too much, just make sense of it, in short, let them share the same hatred.

As for the form, it depends on the environment." After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you all to think about this kind of thing, or the people on the battlefield grow up fast!"

Don't worry, I'll be flexible. So, where to take them to assemble? Where can I get my weapons?"

"Oh, I'll take you to Master Ba, he's collecting weapons with the leaders right now!"

After speaking, Song Xiaoniu took him to introduce Master Ba and Wu Saburo successively, and when he saw that the five leaders were also there, he introduced: "This Yang Sect Leader, who used to be a hundred households in the official army, came to temporarily serve as the head of your battalion."

Everyone was surprised when they heard that it was a hundred households, and they hurriedly came to greet them.

Song Xiaoniu pointed to a short-haired young man with a small stature and bright eyes, and said, "This is Brother Xin Mao, I just mentioned it to you."

"Xin Chi has seen an adult!"

"Excuse me." Yang Dayi stretched out his hand to lift the other party's arm, feeling some strength, and a trace of surprise flashed in Xin Chi's eyes. The two smiled heartily.

Then I heard someone shouting, "Look, there's a fire in the upper reaches!" Everyone hurriedly came out and looked in the direction of everyone's fingers.

A firelight emerged from behind the barren ridge, reflecting the crimson sky. Master Ba said faintly, "It is estimated that Second Master Zhu burned Dayuandu."

"Why burn?" Yang asked carelessly.

"We must make sure that the defenders of Dayuan can't cross the river, otherwise they will go straight to Fengling Town from behind this mountain, and our back road will be cut off." Song Xiaoniu gestured with his finger as he spoke, and Yang Dayi's people who had experienced the battle formation immediately understood.

"So Yang Baihu, that Dayuandu is quite important. After receiving weapons and dry rations, your troops immediately went to the west of the Shangsaka ferry to assemble, and then went north along the river bank to reinforce Majiu. You two know each other, right?"

Master Ba said, "His side has been emptied of troops, and if the other side lands desperately on rafts, it will be difficult for him to resist with less than 200 men."

"Good! I'll get out as soon as I can!" Yang Dayi is worthy of being born in the border army, and he is resolute in his work. Turning around and summoning the five leaders under him, after a brief communication with them, the five hundred people were divided into four teams, each team of about 100 people.

Let Xin Chi be his deputy and concurrently the first team leader, and Liao Sanqing be the deputy team.

Zhou Tu (this person has good archery skills) was a middle officer and led an archery team of dozens of people, and Yang Dayi himself selected fifteen personal soldiers and a sentry to give this battalion a name Guiyi Battalion.

The fire in the north was a little weaker, and Yang Dayi hurriedly sent the improvised 500 men north along the river to reinforce the reinforcements.

On the way, he was surprised to see a boat passing on the river, Yang Dayi didn't know that it was Zhu Erye's team that was transporting Tan Zhongxuan and Liu She (Tie Linglong) with the boat he had robbed, but he thought that the enemy was going to the south for reinforcements or had begun to cross the river, so he hurriedly urged everyone to hurry.

When I saw Ma Jiu and the others, I realized that it was a misunderstanding.

"You're at the right time! In this way, I will talk to Second Master Zhu and send your troops across the river when Tan and Liu Erbu have passed." After Ma Jiu finished speaking, he glanced at the blue and white horse led by Yang Dayi's own soldiers behind him: "This horse looks familiar."

"Oh, the one I rode was left behind by the calf, and it was said that it was captured from the hands of some three generals."

"No wonder!" Ma Jiule was happy, it turned out that his nephew flattered Yang Dayi with a mount with a flower arm. "Don't worry, there's enough boat! Find a big boat later, and let them help you cross the horses!"

"But, they said you had a shortage of people here to let me bring these people for reinforcements?"

"The cripple is fine, don't worry!" Ma Jiu shook his hand: "Second Master Zhu, they burned the dock with oil, and the traitors repaired it for a while

Not good.

Besides, the boats were basically stolen by us, hehe, how many people can come over by bamboo raft on the other side? I have enough men here to deal with them!" He pointed to it and said:

"It's Luo Dun that place is more important! After the south side is tight, the enemy of Dayuan will definitely rush to the rescue when he hears it, and I am worried that there will be no one to stop it.

You came just in time, and after you passed, you will occupy that hill, and you can't ask reinforcements to rush over anyway! Otherwise, the rear battalion will be flanked from front to back, and the encirclement will be torn apart!"

"Okay, look at us!" Yang Dayi rubbed his hands happily: "I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and I've already suffocated, but I can be regarded as seizing the opportunity!" If I can capture the flag this time, it will not be in vain for me to travel hundreds of miles!"

He knew that the danger on him had not yet passed, and even if he got any achievements and credits, it would be difficult to change his current situation.

But as a soldier, he still longs for the opportunity to fight on the battlefield and cut down the enemy with his own hands. Rejoicing in the battle not only represents the will to fight, but also shows the soldiers' confidence in their own qualities and abilities.

The fire at the Dayuan ferry port was finally extinguished, and Sun Gu was so angry that he scolded his mother.

He took over the camp and was thinking that he could take off his armor and rest, when suddenly this fire came, and he had to climb on his horse and hurry to the dock to check the situation.

"How, what about the loss?" He asked the captain of the navy surnamed Qiu.

"Alas, don't mention it! thought that the officers and soldiers would not be able to come without a boat, but who knew that they had good hands in the water. We have killed and wounded more than 30 brothers, and the ship has been stolen, along with the shipmen." Captain Qiu said with a bitter face:

"Half of the dock was burned down, and what was especially hateful was that the warehouse was set on fire, and more than 20 stone ...... of the 100 stone meters we just shipped."

Hearing him say that Sun Gu was even more annoyed, but this Qiu Xiaowei did not belong to his own team, but belonged to the naval army of Guo Sanwei, the Qinglu general who occupied Qingxi Town (You Sanjiang was also under his name).

Even if he gritted his teeth again, he couldn't do anything with this hated lieutenant, so he had to hold back his anger and say hard work to him, and told him to take care of the ferry and leave three hundred people to assist in the defense, and then take the rest of the people back to the camp.

"General, then, what can we use to cross the river tomorrow morning?" The subordinate asked.

"It's a fart river!" Sun Gu snorted angrily: "Send someone to keep an eye on the river bank for me, I estimate that the officials and soldiers hijacked the boats on the one hand and don't want us to cross the river, and on the other hand, it is possible to use these boats to transport troops from the other side.

If we cut off the connection between us and Yinshuai by inserting a foot in that place in Luodun, then a catastrophe is coming!" This guy can be a lieutenant, and it doesn't seem that he is incompetent, he is still a little clever.

The subordinates heard and knew what was going on inside, so they hurriedly went to arrange it. When Sun Gu returned to the camp, the sound of guns and shouts of killing from the south became more and more boiling water, making him unable to sit or stand.

"I knew that there was such a thing, and I shouldn't have let the Second Heavenly King go away at that time, who would have thought that there would be so many variables later? It's time to take him to fight with him!"

When he handed over, he only saw Lou Shiming, but he didn't know that Lou Shifan was actually hiding in the team out of the camp, so he didn't slander Hua's arm.

After tossing twice this night, after all, he was very tired, and Sun Gu fell asleep unconsciously on the marching table.

I was woken up by someone when I fell asleep, and before I opened my eyes, I heard a henchman shouting beside me: "General, the brother who went to the river to inquire is back, and the regimental training is indeed transporting troops to Luodun as the general expected, you should quickly think of a way!"

"Do you still need to think about it? Just hit it! Isn't it just a bunch of group exercises?" Sun Gu asked someone to wipe his face and neck with a wet cloth, and asked, "How many people have been transported?" How many days is it now?"

"Back to the general, the sentry estimates that there are four or five hundred people who have been transported over. Right now...... It's the third watch, and it's past time."

"Straight mother, really pick the right time (see note 1)!" Sun Gu scolded, but still had to call:

"Order, order a thousand people to follow me to Luoduun. The rest of the camp is well guarded, and no battle is allowed without an order! Dress me in armor and prepare my horse!"

He couldn't sit still. If Luo Dun is occupied and the connection with Yintuo is cut off, his team will really become a lonely army that will be beaten passively.

Yang carelessly

After the team landed, Tan Zhongxuan and Liu She were relieved to learn that there was a follow-up team coming, and handed over Luodun's guards to him and hurried to Wutang. Yang Dayi thanked Second Master Zhu and asked him to go back first.

Zhu Erye left him two sampans to report news at any time, and then sent a small boat to Shangbandu first, reported the arrangements and situation in the north, and took the rest of the people back to the right bank of Dayuandu to anchor, waiting for the next instruction.

Seeing off Zhu Erye, Yang Dayi climbed the mound. Luodun is not big, it is a small hill with a slight steepness in the west and south, a long and gentle slope in the east and north, and a height of only five zhang. The surroundings were dark and numb, and only countless frogs could be heard.

Someone brought in a detective who had been ambushed here and introduced that there was a small fish pond to the east, surrounded by rice paddies, and this small mound was actually the highest point in the area, which was what they called the "commanding height".

After talking to the detectives in detail and seeing the nearby topography map he drew on the south slope, Yang Dayi was very surprised.

This picture is not only accurate and easy to understand, but it is also rare that this team member has been ordered to lurk and wait for the landing team in this area for twelve hours, indicating that this battle was deliberately fought by Sheng Huaien and Li Dan, not a sudden encounter.

"You've been hiding in the reeds until now?" Yang Dayi patted the team member on the shoulder with respect: "That's good! Inspector Li sent you?"

The man shook his head: "The villain has seen the inspection twice, both to report the enemy situation to him in person. Under normal circumstances, villains are directly dispatched by Zhao Sima." He replied.

Yang Dayi didn't know who this "Zhao Sima" was, but he thought that he could bring out such a subordinate, and he must not be a reckless villager.

According to the location and shape of this hill, Yang Dayi decided that the main direction of battle should be in the north, so he sent Xin Chi to lead the main force to fortify here, and Wei Zhou'er and Lin Ziyang set up an ambush in the bamboo forest on the other side of the pond.

What he meant was that the ambushed team would attack first and then retreat to the bamboo forest, and when the opponent pursued, he and Xin Chi would rush down the northern slope and use inertia to strike at the enemy's flank.

In order to prevent the enemy from being too strong and really crushing the decoy troops, he specially strengthened Zhou Tu's archery team to Wei and Lin.

Jiyang Mountain, originally in the camp of Yintuo.

In the past, there were nearly 10,000 people stationed here, but now there is a feeling that people go to the empty building and become empty. There was rubbish left behind, rotten military tents, discarded mats or broken umbrellas, and so on.

I don't know whose family members are boiling water in clay pots, children are sleeping next to the fire, and women are coaxing the youngest to feed, and they don't hide when they see soldiers coming, which is commonplace.

Not far away, a few men with weapons were dragging something and making noise, and when they saw this large group of men and horses coming, they were stunned, and quickly shut up and fled into the darkness.

"Hmph, Yintuo hasn't let go of his heart to be a Buddha, and leading soldiers is always so sparse. What is the use of such soldiers, even if there are 30,000 or 50,000?" Lou Shiming, who entered the camp, rode on his horse and said with disgust on his face as he watched.

"But second brother, you see, this kid is still quite capable of bluffing. How long did it take him to go from 2,000 to 10,000? It's kind of a capable one." Lou Shifan walked side by side with him, smacking his lips and admiring.

He had just taken a bath in the pond he had passed by, and had changed his clothes, and he was much better and more relaxed. The hair is tied in a loose ponytail at the back of the head, and if you go to that short mustache, you will almost be a handsome little brother.

"It's a pity that he is too ambitious to be used by his father. Otherwise, we have 20,000 or 30,000 people in our hands, and we can pile up the corpses in the city of Shangrao!"

Lou Shi understood his younger brother's glance, "What do you think you are talking about? Where my father is going to set the capital in the future, you will take the corpses of 10,000 people and pile them up, will it be obscure?"

"Ahem, I don't understand why my father has to keep an eye on this land?" Lou Shifan was a little embarrassed by his second brother's criticism, raised his hand to drive away the mosquitoes in his ears, and said:

"The world is so big, it's not good to go anywhere? I think Nanchang is good. By the way, isn't there a palace there too? It is said that it is much more magnificent than Shangrao!"

"You can't even take the Fengqi Pass, what else are you talking about Nanchang? You say that King Peng? He is different from King Yongfeng, that is, the prince is not the king of the county, and he is the emperor

The cousin of the emperor's dearest relatives.

If you touch him, the officers and soldiers from all directions will rush to you like crazy to play with you, but it's not a few regiments under Li Sanlang!"

"Don't make fun of me!" Lou Shifan was a little annoyed by his sarcasm: "You are a dignified Second Heavenly King, don't you also ask someone to chop off your claws? Hmph, I'm not the only one who suffers Li Saburo's loss!"

Seeing that he was annoyed, Lou Shiming laughed silently, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, our own brothers, no one should rob anyone." Well, that's big brother, right? I don't know if he's going well here, did he say that he was in the middle of the spirit?"

"If you don't eat the toast, does he still want to eat the penalty wine?" Lou Shifan sneered: "As long as the second brother you stand in front of him, this kid will have to drop three punches. Grandma's, if you don't understand good words, he will always recognize your knife!"

"Alas, how come you only know how to fight and kill, and can't you use some brains to do things?"

Lou Shiming said and pulled the mount and turned over and dismounted, Lou Shifan also came down (Lou Shiming found another horse for him, Da Qinghua was handed away by Song Xiaoniu after falling into Li Dan's hands, and now he is under Yang Dayi's crotch) handed the reins to the personal soldier who led the horse, and then followed the second brother forward.

"The eldest brother is above, and the world is polite. Fortunately, I brought Saburo back safely." Lou Shiming bowed with his hands and said.

"Haha, second brother is hard! I knew you didn't succeed!" Lou Shi used his hands to hold each other, and deliberately shook his brother's forearm.

Seeing that he was so obviously learning from his father's style, Lou Shiming didn't say much, and stood next to him with a slight smile.

Lou Shi stepped forward with two steps to grab Lou Shifan, who was about to give a salute: "Oh, third brother, I'm worried about my brother!" How about you, the thief didn't torment you, did he?"

At first glance, these words sounded very affectionate, and others also felt that it was really a deep brotherhood, but Lou Shifan couldn't help but get angry when he heard it, and the eldest brother laughed at himself for being played with by a doll.

His face was red and white for a while, and he reluctantly replied, "Brother Lao is worried, Shifan himself has no ability, and he has caused you trouble."

"Well, I can't talk about trouble. It's just that we have to be more careful and cautious in our work in the future." Lou Shi said with the posture of the eldest brother.

"Brother, San Lang, it's not a narration place outside the door, let's go in and talk about it later." Lou Shiming saw that the third brother's face was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly came over to play the round. Words can be said at any time, and there is a big drama behind this, and there is no delay.

"Oh, yes, let's go in and talk." Lou Shiyong turned around and saw the piety who was saluting next to the door, and suddenly remembered today's event, and hurriedly introduced:

"This pious Sima, in front of the word, is a capable scribe under the silver handsome. This handover was entrusted by Yinshuai to us and others. Okay, don't be polite, let's go inside and talk."

After speaking, he glanced at Lou Shiming and took the lead in striding in.

"Note 1: People are most sleepy at eleven o'clock at night, and their brains have just entered a state of complete relaxation at twelve o'clock (sub-hour), so Sun Gu is angry and scolds."
