Chapter 188: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
Mid-August, a new day, a new beginning.
The red wheel rises in the east, and it is a bright and good weather, ten thousand red glows sprinkle on the vast earth, the hurried wake-up horn on Shaohua Mountain sounds, and the minions jump up one after another, gather in line to report the number, and start a new day of training.
The cottage base camp, the school field in front of the mountain is overcrowded, the shouting and killing during training, the smoke rising from the cooking, the cottage woke up from the silence.
The main peak is very lively, but several side mountains are deserted. The old, weak, women and children of the cottage have long been evacuated, and even the wounded soldiers and logistics personnel after the war a few days ago have been evacuated with Zhu Wu, a non-combatant military division.
Today's busy minions in the back kitchen are mainly women's soldiers. Despite the imminent arrival of the imperial army, the atmosphere on the mountain was still relaxed. Not to mention the trading area at the foot of the mountain, although there are no caravans affected, there are still people carrying vegetables and chickens and ducks to sell.
The minions took it all as ordered, bustling and shouting. What is different is that in front of the billboard, several big leaders of the cottage shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers! The imperial army will arrive in the afternoon, and you will not come from tomorrow to avoid being caught by the other party as a scourge of the strongman. ”
"When are we coming, kings?"
Many old farmers with empty baskets and money in their hands asked expectantly.
Several big leaders did not be overly optimistic according to their orders, and told the truth: "This time the imperial court is menacing, with an army of 50,000 and an elite western army. Shaohuashan is estimated to be destroyed, so I can only say sorry to you. Even if the imperial army is strong, we will make it fresh in their memory. ”
This reply order came from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns
The expressions of the people became gloomy. The anxious people scolded and scolded, saying that the court was really not a thing. Since then, without the protection of Shaohua Mountain, it will be the same as before. Most of them are again facing the oppression of the rich and the exploitation of the government.
At this time, a large group of minions poured down from the mountain, and everyone had exquisite tables, chairs, benches, or cabinets and other furniture in their hands.
"Father, old folks! If we can't beat it, we'll have to retreat, so we're sorry. During this time, I didn't bother the villagers, and these furniture and wood are okay. If you like it, take it back, so that you don't waste it on the mountain. ”
This is the order of Wang Jin, the lord of the cottage, and these pieces of furniture are of extremely good quality but cannot be taken away. Instead of burning down with the cottage, it is better to give these people. It's also good to add furniture to your home, or sell it to subsidize your home.
At first, where were these simple people willing to accept it, saying that the king could not help it. It was only under the persuasion of the minions that they could not be turned into ashes or cheap courts, so the people accepted it, and they were reluctant to leave with their furniture.
It is estimated that there will never be such a good talking king!
Time passed little by little, and the trading area at the foot of the mountain went from bustling to deserted. It was near noon that no one was seen in the little bazaar.
This contrast brings a sense of bleakness.
The first pass in front of the mountain, masonry is mainly built on the city wall.
Wang Jin and the leaders were sad when they saw this scene, and they thought of having to evacuate the cottage. They all gritted their teeth and became even more resentful of the court.
"Lao Tzu's big knife is hungry and thirsty!" Shi Jin, Chen Da and other leaders roared.
"Be sure to make them look good!" Shang Gui
Flowers look out at the forest and gnash their teeth. Wang Jin squinted at the woman, and looked at the trend, which was the direction of the persimmon forest. Suddenly, my face was full of melancholy, thinking of the New Year, thinking of persimmon cakes.
After noon, the flying pigeon of the hotel around Shaohua Mountain sent the news. The army from the north was the first to arrive, numbering about twenty-seven or eight thousand. The army set up camp ten miles in front of the cottage.
The terrain is open, and there is no obstruction, and the behavior is arrogant, but there is arrogant capital. The left and right camps are horns of each other, and 5,000 cavalry are on guard. The infantry was on standby, all wearing iron armor and holding sharp weapons, and they were murderous.
"These people are not easy to deal with!" Wang Jin frowned and thought, he could feel the real murderous aura from a distance, only those who had survived the battlefield had that kind of eyes, sharp and fierce, not afraid of life and death, and daring to play with life. Unlike the forbidden army encountered in the past, even the border army is not comparable.
"Two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom?" Shang Guihua pursed her lips disdainfully.
Shi Jin, Ouyang Shoutong and other leaders were also a little unconvinced: "The cottage is not bad!" When the brave meets on a narrow road, it is not certain who wins and who loses. ”
Wang Jin felt that these guys were a little floating after winning battles one after another, and hurriedly poured cold water: "You can't be careless, you can overestimate the opponent, but you can't underestimate it." The combat effectiveness of the Western Army should not be underestimated, and it should not be underestimated, otherwise it will fall behind. ”
Shi Jin, Ouyang Shoutong nodded yes again and again.
Chen Da, who originally planned to follow the coaxing, Lei Zhen and other leaders did not dare to squeak.
Wang Jin's eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could see that the camp in the distance seemed to be moving. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Chen Dameng, the captain of the guard: "Brother, you take someone to bring the prisoner you captured a few days ago to the school."
Field. ”
"Master, is there any action?" Shi Jin leaned over and asked.
Wang Jin smiled and didn't say much: "Some thoughts, these captives are an opportunity. ”
Next, Wang Jin carefully observed the layout of the forbidden army camp, collected useful information to understand the opponent's personality and habits, and made it easier for him to formulate tactics.
Capturing fighters is the most basic requirement for generals.
Wang Jin also took advantage of this opportunity to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the forbidden army camping in the village. By the way, popularize the importance of camping for the half-hung generals around him.
At this time, the coalition forces that had rushed from the south also arrived and successfully joined forces with the Northern Route Army. The number of people is tens of thousands, and the camping is distributed in a zigzag shape.
There are thousands of people, and there is no boundary.
Up to 10,000, completely sky-high.
What's more, there were nearly 40,000 imperial court troops, and each phalanx stretched for several miles. The flags are displayed, the swords and guns are like a forest, the cold light is shining, and it is intimidating.
Rao is Wang Jin was a little shocked when he saw this, not to mention the leaders and even the minions, if they hadn't been strictly trained, they would have collapsed a long time ago. Although there are tens of thousands of minions in the cottage, they still can't compete with the imperial court.
It's not a question of courage and combat power.
It's because if you die one, you will have one less, and you can't afford to consume it!
"Looks like we have to hurry!" Wang Jin's heart became more and more urgent, and the equipment he had accumulated desperately was less than half of the imperial army in front of him.
This makes it even more determined to continue the idea of development, find territory, recruit craftsmen to independently develop, and must have a base and a logistics supply base. Otherwise, just by plundering, how can you argue with the imperial court?
Whining......
Suddenly, a dull horn sound was heard in the distance.
Three thousand infantry phalanx moved and assembled, under the escort of two thousand cavalry
Guard. Kill a few hundred meters outside the cottage and stop in formation to greet each other, shouting in unison.
"Well, the strongman of Shaohua Mountain listened, wait for the grass to be killed, and tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court will be killed. Let you go down the mountain and surrender as soon as possible, except for the bandit leader, the rest of the court will not blame the past and return to your hometown. Otherwise, the army will attack the mountain, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”
"Fuck, these shit things." Ouyang Shoutong was furious.
"How unreasonable! Go down the hill and do it! The faces of the leaders were ugly.
"Anger will only make you lose your judgment, let them cry!" Wang Jin patted the man's shoulder, and then looked at the crowd and solemnly told no one to act without authorization. Watch as the captives poured below descend the walls.
