Chapter 128: Wind Snow Mountain Temple! The Mandarin Duck Array is here!
"But Jiang Xue?"
The leader of the caravan raised his eyes and saw Wei Jiangxue among them, only to realize that it was his cousin and niece.
Wei Jiangxue nodded and said, "Third uncle, it's me, Wei Jiangxue." β
The leader was overjoyed and said: "Oops, oops, it's Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue has grown so big, Uncle almost didn't recognize you." β
"Cousin!"
The girl in yellow also recognized it, pounced over, and the two recognized each other.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, these Jiang Xue girls are very fond of me, and they actually saved her relatives by mistake.
The leader's name is Huang Xingwen, a relative of Wei Jiangxue's mother.
After a recognition, and a thanks.
Wei Jiangxue asked curiously, "Why did my uncle come here far away?" Where is this going? β
Huang Xingwen said: "It's not that I heard that there are good snowflake white salt in the north parallel to China and France, and we want to exchange some snowflake white salt to sell back." β
It turned out that he had come from afar to do business.
And Huang Xingwen's daughter Huang Xiaogu followed her father and wanted to come out to see the world.
I didn't think that such a thing had just happened, and something almost happened.
"By the way, Jiang Xue, your fifth uncle has been out for some time ago, and he should have been to your house, so he should know about it, right?" Huang Xingwen asked with a smile.
"Fifth uncle?"
Wei Jiangxue shook her head and said, "Fifth Uncle is not in the future. Ahh
Speaking of which, everyone has a bad thought.
If Wei Jiangxue's fifth uncle went to Beiping, he didn't visit his family. Should it not.. On the way, I also encountered the group of mountain bandits just now?
"It's not good, the fifth old five, you died so miserably!"
Thinking of this, the leader of the caravan cried, and the group turned pale.
"No, third uncle, don't worry, it's been seven days since I came out, maybe the fifth uncle is already at home at this time."
Wei Jiangxue hurriedly reassured.
At this moment,
The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a group of hunters rushed over with knives.
When they saw the corpses all over the ground, and found the corpses of mountain bandits among them, their faces changed and they looked at Li Xiao and the others.
One of the team leaders came over and asked, "These bandits, did you kill them?" β
"So what?"
Zhu Gaoxu's face sank, and he said: "You group of waste, there are bandits here, and you actually hurt people, what are you eating!" β
"You!" The team leader was just about to have a seizure, but the guy behind him stopped him.
Obviously, when he saw the corpses all over the ground, he said that this group of people was so powerful that they couldn't afford to provoke them.
The head of the team gave up and said: "There is a trouble here, today our county magistrate personally led the team, come to get rid of the bandits, nothing to do, let's leave quickly." β
Sure enough, in the back, there was a middle-aged man in an official uniform, who should be the magistrate, and walked towards this side with a group of people.
The magistrate saw the corpses all over the ground, figured out the situation, and also walked over.
These people don't seem ordinary.
The magistrate arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask how many people are"
This trip needs to be kept secret, so Li Xiao said: "Jianghu Ranger." β
It's just that the ranger and the county breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "A few strong men are so powerful!" Eliminate harm for the people, thank you. β
After saying that, he didn't plan to pay attention to it, and was about to turn around and leave.
Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Don't go, come here, I'll ask you!" β
"What do you have to ask a few strong men?"
Although the magistrate was a little reluctant, he still turned around for the sake of these people killing the mountain bandits.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "What kind of official are you?" β
The magistrate said: "This official is the magistrate of Cangzhou County. β
Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "How can there be bandits here?" β
Zhixian thought about it, but still said: "These mountain bandits also appeared suddenly, these days the north is parallel to China and France, and countless businessmen are transporting grain. β
"But the canal is dry, and you have to take the land route only to Cangzhou. This gang of mountain bandits was on this road, intercepting and killing merchants who went to Beiping to sell grain. β
"These bandits acted without scruples, killing people and robbing goods, and erasing their traces, and they only discovered it recently."
"After investigation, this group of bandits is an alliance of bandits from several nearby counties who want to do a big deal."
"Today, this official is going to eliminate harm for the sake of the name! All right! I will not accompany you. β
After saying that, the magistrate walked back.
There are almost 100 people in Cangzhou County, some of whom are wearing the clothes of the officials, and they should be the fast catchers of the county's fishing houses.
In addition, many people wearing cloth clothes should be local recruiters.
Zhu Gaosui whispered: "This county did not report, otherwise it would not have recruited the township to eliminate the thieves, but should have reported to the superiors for processing." It must have been when they found out, the mountain bandits had already committed many crimes, and they were afraid that they would be held accountable by their superiors after reporting, and they would have to lose their heads and want to solve it themselves. β
Everyone nodded, and the inference was reasonable.
However, as soon as Wei Jiangxue's third uncle heard the words "many crimes", he fainted on the spot.
In this way, the fifth uncle must have been killed.
"Woo Woo Woo Fifth Uncle"
Wei Jiangxue and Huang Xiaogu, the girl in yellow, couldn't help crying.
"Jiang Xue, don't cry, I will definitely help your fifth uncle avenge!" Zhu Gaoxu picked up the long sword and prepared to follow him to eliminate the thief.
Zhu Gaosui hurriedly pulled him down, "Second brother, the magistrate has already led people to go, didn't you go to cause chaos?" Forget what your father told you, don't cause trouble outside, just protect your eldest sister, this matter has nothing to do with us. β
Zhu Gaoxu saw the beauties on the side crying, and said angrily: "Why has nothing to do with us, this is the grain transported to Beiping, and it was robbed by gangsters in the middle of the road, I will kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" β
Li Xiao hurriedly said: "Gao Xu, don't worry, wait and see." β
He still listened to Li Xiao's words.
Zhu Gaoxu stopped and went to appease Miss Jiang Xue, and by the way, he also appeased Huang Xiaogu.
Seeing this, Li Xiao was a little admired.
Good fellow, Gao Xu, I can't believe that you are still an amorous species!
The other side.
The personnel of Cangzhou Zhixian are ready.
Na Zhixian waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!" Go up the mountain to get rid of thieves, and for every thief you kill, the official will reward twenty taels of silver! Whoever kills the head of the thief will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! β
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!
As soon as they heard this, these people burst with confidence one by one, and after a while, they rushed out and walked in the direction of the mountain.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiao was a little worried.
There is no rule in this, can you get rid of the mountain bandits?
Seeing this scene, the magistrate was also a little worried, but he didn't have time to train for the time being, thinking about it, it was a bunch of thieves, and he should be able to take it.
This magistrate is also unlucky, and finally became a magistrate, as soon as he took office, the situation is not familiar, and this happened.
He saw that Li Xiao and the others were also waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and asked curiously, "Why don't you leave?" β
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "What do you have to do with it?" Lao Tzu is willing! β
That's it.
The group waited patiently.
After about two hours, I heard movement.
Catch Kuai and Xiang Yong went down the mountain one after another, all of them were hung with colors, and a few people were hacked to death, and the corpses were carried down the mountain by other Xiang Yong, a picture of a defeated soldier.
The magistrate hurriedly walked over and asked the headcatcher, "How?" β
The head catcher shook his head: "Hey, this group of mountain bandits is different from usual, there are many people, all of them are brave, there are more than 200 people, and they have set up a camp on the mountain, we can't attack it." β
As soon as he heard this, Zhixian fell to the ground, and tears flowed out.
Such a situation can only be reported to the superior to deal with it, and it is no longer something that you can handle.
But once it is reported to the superiors, let alone the black gauze hat, even the head is not protected, and it is not good to be stripped of skin and filled with grass and placed outside the yamen.
"It's over, it's over!"
Zhixian slumped to the ground, wiped his tears and said: "I think of my Yang Shiqi studying hard for the imperial examination, and I encountered such a thing when I first took office, the day is not at the right time, the day is not at the right time." β
Yang Shiqi?
Li Xiao was slightly stunned, walked over and asked, "What's your name?" β
Yang Shiqi is now overly sad, and he only feels that his death is approaching, where is there any spare time to pay attention to Li Xiao.
A warm-hearted catcher said: "This is Yang Shiqi, the magistrate of Cangzhou County, is a good official, but unfortunately he has just taken office, which makes a fuss about mountain bandits, hey, we people can't eat and walk around."
Yes.
Li Xiao remembered that this Yang Shiqi was one of the three Yangs of the future cabinet.
Still an official here?
Oh, the magistrate is a liuguan, and he can be transferred in two years, which is probably the case.
But. Shouldn't it be lost here?
Hey. Wrong
Li Xiao suddenly woke up to his senses, if he hadn't made snowflakes and white salt, there would not have been so many people coming to Beiping to transport grain, and these mountain bandits would not have gathered here.
It's all because of me.
At this time, Li Xiao looked at Yang Shiqi, his eyes full of sympathy.
"Gao Xu."
Seeing that the fifth uncle's revenge had not been avenged, Wei Jiangxue looked at Zhu Gaoxu expectantly, he knew Zhu Gaoxu's identity, and it was very simple to solve such a thing.
Thinking that he couldn't reveal his identity, Zhu Gaoxu on the side said in a deep voice: "A gang of rabble, you still have to rely on me to eliminate the harm!" β
As soon as he heard this, Yang Shiqi immediately stood up.
Seeing the corpses of twenty mountain bandits on the ground, he felt that this group of people should be very powerful, and arched his hand: "If the warriors can help get rid of the thieves, there will be a heavy reward!" β
"Humph! Who scarces your money? β
Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Miss Jiang Xue's face, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to care." β
After speaking, he waved his hand, ready to call ten guards to go up the mountain.
"Wait!" Li Xiao stopped and said, "There are more than 200 mountain bandits on the mountain, how can ten people be able to defeat them?" β
"It's just a mountain bandit, it's not enough evidence." Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of timidity.
Li Xiao believed that with Zhu Gaoxu and these ten strong martial arts soldiers, he could defeat the bandits.
But after all, there is too much difference in the number of people, and if there is any damage, it is not a joke.
"Gao Xu, no, listen to me in this matter, don't commit some crimes." Li Xiaodao.
Zhu Ningyun also pulled Zhu Gaochu back, "Gaoxu, don't come nonsense, listen to your brother-in-law!" β
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to nod: "Brother-in-law, do you have a clever plan?" β
Li Xiao frowned, nodded and said, "There is a way!" Go back to the county government first. β
After speaking, he looked at Yang Shiqi and said: "You arrange for Fifty Xiangyong to patrol this road to prevent the mountain bandits from harming people again, and the others will go back with me, and I will come to practice for a day, and I will definitely be able to break the thief camp!" β
Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "Who are you, and you can also train soldiers?" β
Li Xiaodao: "Under Li Xiaoyao, I know a little about the art of war. β
Yang Shiqi said: "What is the use of training for a day?" β
Zhu Gaoxu didn't have a good breath and said, "You don't talk much fucking nonsense, if you want to do it, you will do it, or you still wait for someone to solve it, which one do you choose?" β
Yang Shiqi didn't dare to say anything more immediately, and immediately complied.
I went back to the county office.
Yang Shiqi entertained Li Xiao and his party with delicious food and drink, and arranged a place to rest.
After Li Xiao settled Ning Yun and the others, he instructed Yang Shiqi: "Go and call the craftsmen, let all the craftsmen in the county come over, and build a weapon overnight." β
Yang Shiqi said worriedly: "What kind of weapon, even if it is a night, it is not enough." The armory of the county government has weapons. β
"The weapon I want is easy to build, and it will be built quickly."
The weapon that Li Xiao wants to build is called the Wolf Duck, and the formation he wants to practice is called the Mandarin Duck Formation.
Come to think of it, this kind of formation to fight the Japanese should be equally applicable to fighting mountain bandits.
Yang Shiqi didn't ask much, and immediately followed Li Xiao's instructions and summoned the craftsmen.
The building method of Wolf Xian is indeed very simple, using the bamboo grown in the south, selecting its old and solid one, cutting the end of the bamboo obliquely into a pointed shape, and leaving sharp branches around it.
By the next day, the craftsmen had built five wolf guns overnight.
And Yang Shiqi also brought all kinds of weapons ordered by Li Xiao, as well as the wolf military gun, and came to a martial arts training ground with fifty village warriors.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, why don't we just take someone to kill it? It's just a thief. β
Zhu Gaoxu was a little impatient, he couldn't wait to go up the mountain now, he was already itching in his hands.
"Don't be impatient, Gao Xu, remember, you must pay attention to the rules in everything you do."
Li Xiao said loudly.
It seems that Zhu Gaoxu rebelled at the beginning, and he was also impatient.
Ay. Sure enough, character determines success or failure.
"Xiaolang, I'll also see how you train today."
Zhu Ningyun is completely different from before now, her personality is very cheerful, she used to be able to stay in the house for a few years, but now she can't sit still for a day.
"Okay, Ning Yun, then you have to take a closer look, look at the strength of the formation I developed!" Li Xiao said with a smile.
Zhu Ningyun was slightly surprised: "Formation, what formation?" β
Li Xiao said: "Mandarin duck array! β
"Mandarin Duck Array!" Zhu Ningyun's eyes lit up and said, "Then I want to take a good look." β
"By the way, we don't seem to have done one thing today."
Li Xiao said affectionately: "I love you." β
Zhu Ningyun lowered her eyebrows, "Well, I love you too."
Show affection in public, and both points and life expectancy will be received.
Yang Shiqi: "."
Yang Shiqi on the side couldn't sit still, his eyebrows were burned, why are you still showing affection, are you reliable
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun held hands and said love words.
In the end, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but speak: "Easy warriors, please train soldiers?" β
"Ahem."
Li Xiao coughed a few times and finally started working.
The so-called Mandarin Duck Formation is one of the ancient Chinese formations.
The Ming Dynasty army used an evacuation battle formation when fighting against the Japanese invaders, founded by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general.
The formation is a team of 11 people, with the captain at the front.
The second two hold a long card and a rattan card.
The long deck holds a long shield to shield the arrows and spears of the witans, and the rattan holds a light rattan shield with a javelin and a waist knife.
Long players and rattan players mainly cover the rear team, and rattan players can also fight in close combat with enemies in addition to cover.
Then the two of them hold the wolf whisk, the wolf whisk is the use of the southern growth of the bamboo, choose its old and solid one, the end of the bamboo obliquely cut into a pointed shape, and leave sharp branches around it.
Each wolf is about 3 meters long, and the wolf hand uses the sharp blade at the front of the wolf to stab the enemy to cover the advance of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind it.
Then there were four spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, and the shieldmen and wolf-bearers on the left and right in front of them.
Followed by two soldiers armed with "boring palladium" to serve as guards, supporters, and other work. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short soldier will rush forward with a short knife to slash the enemy.
The division of labor of various weapons is clear!
The reason why it is said that it can be trained in one day is because everyone only needs to do one thing well, and the formation is fixed.
In fact, the Mandarin Duck Formation can be changed into a small Mandarin Duck Formation, but that is for street fighting.
There is no need to change the formation at all, the 11 people have always maintained the formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and it is enough for everyone to remember what they want to do.
That's it.
Li Xiao took this group of villagers to train for a full day, and they have been completely taught.
And Zhu Gaosui has been silently writing down this mandarin duck formation in his mind, and after finding an opportunity to feces and pee, he recorded the formation, found an opportunity to send it to his father and queen, and ran back.
No one noticed that the kid had been missing for a while.
After a day of training,
Zhu Gaoxu also felt the beauty of this formation, it was simply impenetrable.
There were shield bearers in front, pikemen and wolf gendarmes on either side.
Especially the wolf gendarmerie, with a three-meter-long bamboo, the other party can't get over at all.
There are also archers in the back who carry out sneak attacks
However, Zhu Gaoxu also felt the drawback of this formation, that is, it was not mobile enough, but it should be enough to deal with the little thief.
Of course, whether it works well or not will have to be seen tomorrow.
Originally, Zhu Gaoxu also proposed to carry out a night attack, but when he saw the trained villagers, they were as tired as vegetable seedlings, so he gave up.
After a day of training, these people were too tired to do it.
Yang Shiqi asked people to arrange a good meal and entertain them with delicious food and drink.
After everyone has eaten and drunk enough, they go back to rest.
"Xiaolang, be careful tomorrow!"
In the room, Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao very nervously, for fear that he would make a mistake.
Originally, Li Xiao planned to play by himself, but Zhu Ningyun resolutely refused to allow it, so his position became the commander-in-chief of the operation.
Zhu Gaoxu led ten personal guards to form a team of mandarin ducks.
There are a total of four mandarin duck teams in other townspeople, a total of five.
However, the total number of people is only fifty-five, and there are a total of fifty-six people with Li Xiao, the commander-in-chief.
To fight against two hundred bandits, Zhu Ningyun was also a little worried.
"Don't worry, Ning Yun, it's just a group of rabble, and if you run into my mandarin duck formation, you can't hurt us." Li Xiao said with a smile.
In fact, the biggest advantage of the Mandarin Duck Formation is that the battle damage ratio is low and it is not easy to get injured!
Qi Jiguang fought 14 battles, and the average battle loss ratio was 1:100.
That is, if you kill a hundred enemies, only one person will die on your side.
There was even a time when the battle loss ratio was 1:3000, killing 3,000 people, and only one of them died!
Nonsense, a formation of 11 people, like a turtle shell, where will it hurt?
"Give me a blessing of love so I won't get hurt."
Li Xiao smiled evilly.
"That's good."
Zhu Ningyun did not hesitate, plucked up the courage to come over.
kissed and pecked Li Xiao on the forehead.
As if you give a blessing of love, you really won't get hurt.
Then, like a fawn, she fled from the room in a panic.
Li Xiao felt a burst of fragrance.
At the same time, he secretly saw Zhu Ningyun's true face of Lushan
For a while, Li Xiao was stunned by the United States.
The eyebrows and eyes are springy, the skin is as delicate as warm jade, the soft light is greasy, the cherry mouth is red without dotting, delicate and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style.
Ning Yun her. He looks so good
Sinking fish and geese, and shy flowers in the closed moon can't describe her beauty
Words simply can't express it!
γDing! Your beloved gives you a sweet kiss, this is the first kiss, and both parties are very happy. Earn Sweet Points: 1000 points. Trigger 50x Critical Hit and get Sweet Points: 50,000 points. γ
Looking at the back of Miaoman, who was far away from Zhu Ningyun, Li Xiao smiled:
"There are a lot of points I got from kissing, I have to go further next time."
