Chapter 56: Facing the Four Great Heroes (4K)
These four big cowards can make such a reputation, and naturally it is not easy to match.
There are four sentences about the four great cowards, which are the descriptions of them.
Not an inch of grass grows to the sky, chickens and dogs do not stay in the house to see the peak, the scorched earth is boring for thousands of miles, and the ghost cryes Cao Yinglong.
This Xiang, Fang, Mao, and Cao Da Kou are simply disgusted. They wandered about and plundered, and they destroyed and plundered everywhere they went, and they committed adultery and plunder, and they did everything.
In fact, this is not the first time that these four cowards have invaded Pegasus Ranch.
However, the two sides of Pegasus Ranch and Jingling's Domination Villa formed an alliance with each other, and they supported each other, killing them several times.
Therefore, Pegasus Ranch and Jingling's Dominating Mountain Villa have long been regarded by them as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.
However, recently, the four of them secretly formed an alliance to besiege Pegasus Ranch together.
Within a hundred miles of the vicinity are the people of Pegasus Ranch, and if there is any wind and grass, naturally they can't hide it.
Therefore, the Pegasus Ranch naturally found out that the Four Great Kou did not directly attack the Pegasus Ranch.
After all, Pegasus Ranch has high walls and strong walls, and it has its own terrain advantages. It is built in a valley, and access can only be passed by two canyons, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Coupled with Lu Miaozi's maintenance and inspection of Pegasus Ranch over the years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Pegasus Ranch is impregnable.
If it is a hard attack, it will be difficult to attack it with the rabble of the four great cowards.
Moreover, Pegasus Ranch and Jingling's Dominating Mountain Villa are fighting each other, which is an offensive and defensive alliance. As long as the Pegasus Ranch is supported for a period of time, the Dominic Mountain Villa will naturally send troops to relieve the siege.
Of course, now that there is a demon girl in Jingling, Fang Zetao has long been confused by it, and whether Jingling can still send troops is a question.
But even without the support of Dominating the Villa, with the strength of Pegasus Ranch itself, it is absolutely no problem to defend him according to the danger and defend him for a year and a half.
Although there are a lot of people coerced by the four great couges, they are only a rabble, and there are no siege equipment, so it is impossible to easily capture the Pegasus Ranch.
And after waiting for a year and a half, I am afraid that the general trend of the world has become clear, how can these four rogues be so rampant?
After all, the four big cowards are just rogue cowards.
The reason why they have not been destroyed for so long is not because of how strong they are, but because they can run.
They usually run away with a single vote, and they run too fast, plus they don't provoke any big forces, so they can survive to this day.
If they really dared to besiege Pegasus Ranch for a year and a half, not to mention whether they could supply food and grass, even if they could, they would not dare to stay in one place for so long.
After all, they have offended too many people!
This time, the four great Kou seem to have learned the previous lesson, changed their strategy, and prepared to first cut off the connection between Pegasus Ranch and Jingling by means of encirclement, and then attack Pegasus Ranch with all their might.
The strength of the four great Kou themselves is not enough to deal with the war on two fronts, but together they are enough to encircle Jingling and Pegasus Ranch respectively, preventing the two sides from joining forces and encroaching on the surrounding cities and villages.
When the surrounding cities and villages were almost encroached, they not only obtained a large amount of resources and property, but also more likely to use this to coerce more people, and the number of soldiers increased.
These nearby people may have become cannon fodder for the four major coars, and in turn attacked Pegasus Ranch.
This plan is indeed vicious!
Even if the final victory is achieved, Pegasus Ranch will be in a difficult situation, and it will inevitably be devastated in its vitality.
After all, almost all of these nearby towns were formed by the migration of the descendants of Pegasus Ranch. They are inextricably linked to Pegasus Ranch and are an important barrier to Pegasus Ranch.
Almost all the nearby towns rely on Pegasus Ranch for food, and they are all children of Pegasus Ranch and a potential force of Pegasus Ranch.
Therefore, the attack on the nearby towns by the Four Great Kou is also a kind of damage to the Pegasus Ranch.
If the nearby towns are uprooted by the four major Kou one by one, and then besiege the Pegasus Ranch.
Then, the Pegasus Ranch will really be isolated and trapped in the valley, and it will only be consumed, and it will be difficult to counterattack. Even if he is finally rescued, he will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover his current status.
Therefore, the trick of the Four Great Kou was considered to be hit on the seven inches of the Pegasus Ranch, so that the Pegasus Ranch had to give up its geographical advantage and send troops to confront the Four Great Kou.
Although there are thousands of elite cavalry in the Pegasus Ranch, such a force is one of the few in the entire Middle-earth.
And the cavalry against the infantry is even more advantageous.
It looks like Pegasus Ranch has a good chance of winning this battle.
However, under the intrigues of the four major cowards, Pegasus Ranch had to divide its troops.
A part of the cavalry attacked to deal with the four great cowards. It is also necessary to retain enough strength in the Pegasus Ranch to prevent the four major Kou from attacking the West and taking the opportunity to attack the Pegasus Ranch.
After all, the soldiers and horses of the four great Kou are several times the size of their Pegasus Ranch, and there are more than 100,000 people. Even if the troops are divided, it will be enough to besiege the Pegasus Ranch.
If the Pegasus Ranch comes out, once the ranch is surrounded, the lonely soldiers and horses will definitely be fluctuating, morale will drop greatly, and they will most likely be broken by each one.
Moreover, these four cowards are all extremely vicious people, and the four great cowards will not be sympathetic to these lives. It is even possible to use people from nearby villages and towns as hostages, so as to take the initiative.
At that time, it is really unknown who will win and who will lose.
In addition, there may be some forces hidden behind the four great cowards, who are giving advice to them and even providing support. There are hidden dangers in the Pegasus Ranch, and there are strong enemies outside, and if you are not careful, you may have the worry of destruction.
In the face of such a crisis, Shang Xiuxun gathered his troops and horses, took the lead, and prepared to go out to fight.
It's just that this was stopped by Zhao Mingyuan.
"Why?" Shang Xiuxun asked strangely.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I am a professional in war." If Xiuxun can trust me, leave this matter to me! ”
Shang Xiuxun said: "No, I must go!"
It's none of your business, you just have to stay on the ranch.
At this time, it is the crisis of Pegasus Ranch, and all the disciples of Pegasus Ranch are fighting hard, how can I, as the owner, retreat? ”
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Xiuxun, you are treating me as an outsider. ”
Zhao Mingyuan came to Shang Xiuxun's side, and then said: "If Xiuxun is willing to marry me, then Xiuxun and I will be a family."
I'm also a part of Pegasus Ranch, so what's the difference between me and you?
Besides, if I can defeat the Four Great Kou, I can solve the crisis in the pasture. After that, presumably the people in the ranch who opposed our marriage could not say anything more.
Isn't it a public and private thing?
Besides, you know the height of my martial arts. With my martial arts, it will be absolutely fine.
Even, I can directly take the enemy chieftain and kill the four thief leaders of Xiang, Fang, Mao, and Cao, and the thief soldiers will not be defeated at the touch of a button? ”
Zhao Mingyuan leaned close to Shang Xiuxun's ear and whispered: "Besides, I feel that the attack of these four big criminals this time seems to be a little strange.
After all, just with them, knowing that it was impossible to break through the Pegasus Ranch, they still had to come, and it was very likely that there would be some way back.
Most likely, it's from within.
Therefore, Xiuxun, it is better for you to stay in the ranch to deal with the overall situation and prevent accidents. ”
Seeing that Shang Xiuxun didn't seem to be able to make up his mind, Zhao Mingyuan said: "Xiuxun, just put your heart in your stomach!"
You think, if you marry me, this Pegasus Ranch will be your dowry.
How could I not do my best? ”
Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but blush, and said, "Phew! Who's going to marry you? ”
didn't say anything more, and acquiesced in Zhao Mingyuan's departure on her behalf.
Seeing that Shang Xiuxun agreed to stay in the ranch, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so he explained: "Although Xiuxun stayed at the ranch, he also has a heavy responsibility and should not be taken lightly.
In fact, the crisis in the ranch is not necessarily smaller than that outside, and it is easy to dodge with open guns and difficult to prevent from hidden arrows.
Xiuxun, you must be careful! ”
Shang Xiuxun looked at Zhao Mingyuan and suddenly asked, "Do you know something?" I always feel like you have something to say. ”
Obviously, Shang Xiuxun sensed that Zhao Mingyuan's attitude was wrong, and seemed to have been reminding her of something. It seems that Zhao Mingyuan is sure that something will happen in the pasture, but because of his identity, some words are difficult to say.
Zhao Mingyuan saw Shang Xiuxun asking, so he said, "I do know something. It's just empty words, that's just my conjecture, there is no concrete actual evidence. If I say it, no one will believe it, but will think that I am sowing discord. ”
"You say!" Shang Xiuxun suddenly spoke, short and powerful.
Obviously, she had made up her mind that she had to know whatever it was.
After all, it's a matter of life and death for Pegasus Ranch, and everything has to be taken a step back.
Seeing that Shang Xiuxun seemed to have made up his mind, Zhao Mingyuan no longer hesitated, and said bluntly: "If the four great Kou want to break through the Pegasus Ranch, they must need someone to cooperate with them inside and outside.
And there are only two kinds of people who can echo it.
Either the deacon or the chief steward in the Pegasus Ranch has a mole and has a different heart.
Or maybe it's the one who is now a guest at Pegasus Ranch. ”
Shang Xiuxun stared at Zhao Mingyuan and said coldly: "So, you mean that Li Xiuning colluded with the Four Great Kou to deal with my Pegasus Ranch together?" ”
Zhao Mingyuan looked at Shang Xiuxun's face, understood that she and Li Xiuning had a deep relationship, and refused to believe this possibility.
Even Shang Xiuxun may think that Zhao Mingyuan is sowing discord, after all, Li Valve and Zhao Mingyuan are opponents in the world, and Zhao Mingyuan may be just a means to attack Li Valve.
So, Zhao Mingyuan said: "This is just one of the possibilities.
Of course, this is not any collusion, just taking advantage of each other.
After all, if Li Valve wins Guanzhong, his strength will inevitably go further, and there is even the possibility of unifying the world.
The four big Kou are just looking for a way out in the future. Or maybe they have been secretly subdued by Li Valve, and it is unknown.
Of course, this is just a conjecture on my part.
There is also the possibility that the head of Pegasus Ranch or the deacon has another internal response, or even more than one.
They may be dissatisfied because of your and me, or they may have already colluded with external forces.
For example, maybe some of them took refuge in Li Mi, and Li Mi secretly set up a game behind him and manipulated the four big Kou to attack the ranch.
Of course, there is also a possibility that they are colluding with Li Valve and teaming up with the four major Kouli and outside.
Even a two-pronged approach is possible. ”
Shang Xiuxun's face became even more gloomy, he looked at Zhao Mingyuan coldly, and said, "So, your guess is that either there is a mole in the ranch, or my good friend Li Xiuning is here to deal with me." Is it? ”
Zhao Mingyuan can understand Shang Xiuxun's mood. After all, no matter which possibility it is, she will not feel good in her heart if she is betrayed by someone she trusts.
It's just that it's better to know these things in advance and be prepared, than to be suddenly attacked without warning.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan persuaded him: "Xiuxun, you are already a qualified owner, so you naturally know what to do is right."
I also hope it's just me thinking too much.
It's just that this kind of thing would rather be believed than not believed.
Xiuxun should be more vigilant.
Don't worry, these four big cowards outside will be handed over to me, and I guarantee that they will not come back.
Xiuxun, you just need to stabilize the hearts of the people in the ranch.
Alas! Hopefully, I'm thinking too much, maybe nothing! ”
In the end, Shang Xiuxun nodded and said, she will think about it.
It's just that her face is definitely not good-looking.
However, Shang Xiuxun quickly took action.
I saw that she first said that she would stay at the ranch and let Zhao Mingyuan replace her.
Then he quietly made some adjustments to the people who went on the expedition, and the governor and the deacon were free to choose whether to go on the expedition or stay behind.
It all went on very quickly and didn't give them much time to think.
After everyone chosen, Zhao Mingyuan led the crowd out of Pegasus Ranch and went to support the town that had been attacked by the Four Great Kou.
Zhao Mingyuan could easily find out that the chief deacon who followed him on the expedition was either someone loyal to the merchant in the Pegasus Ranch, or someone who had secretly taken refuge in him. On the contrary, there were important people who threw themselves on Li Mi's side, and there was no one.
Of course, Zhao Mingyuan believed that there must be their spies among them.
After all, there are so many people in Pegasus Ranch, and there are a lot of fish and dragons. It's hard to tell the difference between you and me, and I have you.
It's just that this has already shown that Li Mi's side is indeed making small moves. I'm afraid that the matter of these four big Kou is really related to Li Mi's side.
As for whether it has anything to do with Li Valve?
It's still unclear, but it can't completely rule out the suspicion of Li Valve.
Zhao Mingyuan only took two thousand elite horsemen, one person and two horses, and went out of the city.
Although the nearby towns are within a hundred miles of Pegasus Ranch, it is not too far.
But after all, there is going to be a war, so it is natural to be sympathetic to horsepower.
After all, there is no shortage of war horses in Pegasus Ranch, so one person and two horses can travel in rotation and at a fast speed.
Soon, Zhao Mingyuan and his entourage came to the news, in front of the town that the four great Kou were attacking.
Today it's only 4000.
