Chapter 5, Emergency Training.

After Liu Zhiliang left, Yang Peng gathered the remaining 18 people on the flat ground in front of the cave, and looked carefully one by one, always feeling a little incongruous. Finally, I looked at it twice, only to find that there was a short man with a small half head in the middle.

Yang Peng saw that this little man was completely a childish teenager, so he asked, "What's your name?" How old is this year? The little guy said loudly: "My name is Shi Liancheng, a native of Bianjing, twelve years old this year, almost thirteen!" "Twelve? In his previous life, he couldn't leave his parents at the age of twenty-two. The expression of this little guy is as if he is like an adult, and he has no stage fright.

Yang Peng smiled bitterly and asked, "Why did you come here?" What about the people in the family? Shi Liancheng puffed up his chest: "I have followed my grandfather since I was a child." When I was nine years old, the army robbed our family, and my grandfather was killed! Later, I asked for food, and I followed the caravan and didn't know what was going on, so I came to Youzhou, and I ended up here. I stayed in Youzhou City for three years, and I was caught here the day before yesterday. ”

"Okay, you follow the training first, and then let's talk about it later." Yang Peng didn't have a good way, and then said to everyone: "Since they all escaped from the iron mine, you must all know that it is a nest of harmful people, and no one wants to go in again." As you have seen, it is useless to run away and hide. If you really want to protect yourself, you have to unite and grab a big sword and bow and arrow to fight them! ”

"Starting today, we will train in military posture and physical fitness in the morning, and train in shooting guns in the afternoon." Yang Peng said solemnly: "I believe you won't be lazy, but I still want to emphasize that if you don't train hard now, you won't be able to kill those bad guys by then, and you will be the ones who will suffer!" Next, the two groups of Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie were divided into five newcomers, and Shi Liancheng was personally trained by Yang Peng.

This time, Yang Peng streamlined the rules and regulations of what he had in mind in the army, but the requirements for military posture and queue were extremely strict. Every morning, an hour of hillside running is followed by an hour of standing stance, followed by an hour of queue training and finally an hour of squats and push-ups.

In the afternoon, the first thing is the dismantling and maintenance of the bow and arrow, and then the bow and arrow aiming training. Draw your bow and arrow in a standing position and aim continuously for an hour. Then there is an hour of kneeling aiming bow and arrow shooting training, and an hour of lying hand crossbow aiming training. After dinner, the first hour was the training of emergency lying down, crawling forward, rolling sideways, and rolling forward with knees hugged, the second hour was the search and vigilance training of the three-person team on the march, and the third hour was the attack formation and alternate cover training of the three-person team.

Seven days later, the custom-made clothes were brought back, the training of the small unit was also normal, and Yang Peng no longer had to pant for demonstration. The next step is the special training for Shi Liancheng: basic training on plum blossom piles, aiming and shooting training for hand crossbows, combat training, military terminology and military common sense teaching. Three days later, Shi Liancheng already knew the content of the daily training, and Yang Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he carefully checked the weapons and equipment. seized two crossbows and 100 crossbow arrows; Seven longbows and 350 arrows. Nineteen team members have nine crossbows, and there is no way to assign them!

After thinking about it all night, in the early morning of the next day, Yang Peng brought Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie and asked them to continue to supervise the team members to train, and Liu Zhiliang continued to take time to purchase dry food. After the explanation was clear, he went out of the mountain alone, and everyone did not know what he was doing. It is said that Yang Peng came out of the mountains, identified the direction and went straight to Xintun. According to the relevant information he had, he knew that Xintun in this era should have about 100 people stationed in the Khitan army. It is mainly responsible for maintaining the safety of Youzhou Iron Mine and ensuring the safety of the east of South Youzhou.

Yang Peng knew that the Khitan people's bows and arrows were still very powerful, after all, the Khitans were also a people on horseback, and Yang Peng had no choice now. But at present, there are many people and there is no other way out. He is a person who has died once, not to mention the ferocity of the Khitan, the military literacy is definitely the first in the Great Song Dynasty! He didn't want his brothers to fight hard with big knives and spears, so he ran here, hoping to find a way out of the Khitan.

After a day and a night of hurrying, at about ten o'clock the next morning, Yang Peng had already lurked 300 meters away from the Khitan barracks. This is the patrol route of the Khitan army to the Jinzhai iron mine, and the north is the road to Shunzhou City. The Khitan has a fixed patrol mission every day. Yang Peng didn't know that he always thought that he would know a lot of things, especially for fighting, it was simply familiar, as if he was born to be a general, and he was good at reconnaissance and lurking.

During this period, the Khitan had just defeated the Yang Jiajun, the strongest army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was the time when it was arrogant. After two days of latent observation, Yang Peng basically mastered the patrol rules of the Khitan. At half-hour intervals, seven men patrolled 24 hours a day, all with crossbows and longbows. Looking at the two quiver boxes equipped with one large and one small on their belts, it should be twenty bows and arrows and ten crossbow arrows.

At about ten o'clock in the evening of the third day, Yang Peng touched the grass near the barracks and deducted three plum blossom darts in each hand. It was close to eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, a group of Khitans came out from the direction of the barracks and walked towards Yang Peng with neat steps. They may have never encountered any danger, so these Khitan dogs are full of chests and bellies, and their toes are high. The difference between the feet and the difference in the span is also very deterrent in the middle of the night.

Yang Peng stabilized his mind, his arms bent slightly, and his hands raised slightly. At the moment when the Khitan team came to about ten meters in front of him, he threw out six plum blossom darts with a wave of his hands, and then flew straight to the one in the middle! Grabbed the Khitan people's necks with both hands and twisted them, followed by a few rolls, and slapped at the throats of all the Khitans!

It was complicated, but it happened in an instant! Yang Peng didn't have time to carefully check anything, so he quickly took back all the plum blossom darts. Then he quickly untied the armed belts of the seven Khitans, tied up the seven bows and arrows, and ran away! From the time he darts to the time he left the scene, the whole process took less than three minutes!

Human potential is truly limitless! After more than two days of incubation, Yang Peng was already exhausted. But he galloped all the way until dawn, and he didn't stop halfway! Seeing that he had run dozens of miles, he found a small ravine with a pond, and then threw his bow and arrows on the ground and gasped for breath.

This is not a place to stay for a long time, Yang Peng nibbled two mouthfuls of dry food and poured a few mouthfuls of water into the pond. Then he wiped his mouth, picked up his bow and arrows and continued to run. Back in his cave, it was already the middle of the night. Yang Peng nibbled on two pieces of dry food and fell asleep, and did not wake up until the afternoon of the next day. At this time, all the team members already knew that their eldest brother had gone out alone for four days and had brought back seven bows and arrows of more than 1,000 people! No need to ask, the eldest brother killed at least seven Khitans! In the eyes of everyone, the Khitans are almost an invincible myth. The eldest brother went out alone and brought back seven Khitan bows and arrows, which is more mythical than a myth! Since then, everyone's eyes on Yang Peng have been different! Yes, it's all a look of awe!

What is Awe? That is to be respectful and afraid! It's also said that there is a guy standing in front of you who kills people like chopping melons and vegetables, don't you beat a drum in your heart? At this point, what Yang Peng said became an out-and-out order, and no one said anything about discounting!

On the morning of the twentieth day of this emergency training, Yang Peng gathered everyone together and said: "Brothers, we now have 19 people in two classes, and Xiao Liancheng will follow me as a communicator from today. This way you have exactly 9 people in each class. There were a total of 16 long and short bows and arrows, and 8 were evenly distributed among each class. ”

"Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie are squad leaders, and each has a crossbow. Because the size of the two bows and arrows is different, Zhang Xiang's class uses the bows and arrows of the Liao Khitans, and Cheng Shijie's class uses the bows and arrows of the Great Song Dynasty of the Khitans. Tomorrow there will be archery training, and the last place in the group will take a big sword without a bow and arrow for the time being. ”

Press Yang Peng's training will not be mentioned for the time being. A heavily armed battle squad of the Khitan of the Great Liao State was all killed by the enemy, and no traces of the fight were found at the scene. In other words, the seven Khitan warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom who were able to resist the Yang Jiajun squad were killed by others without any resistance, which is simply a great shame!

This kind of humiliating thing happened, and Namu didn't dare to report it to her superiors easily until the cause was clarified. So two teams were sent to conduct a carpet search around. I hope to find the murderer, and then try to atone for my crimes. The two squads of Khitan soldiers conducted a dragnet search, but did not find any valuable clues for three consecutive days, and Namu had no choice but to further expand the scope of the search. If this matter is not brought to light, his squadron leader will be considered the end, and he may even be dealt with by military law!

In the evening of the fourth day, the search force finally made a startling discovery. A search team found marks from several large knives on the edge of a pond in a ravine! After the Khitan discovered the clue, it was like a chicken blood, and the two classes became excited. Then follow the traces along the way, and chase straight over! On the sixth day, the Khitan search team crossed the mountain path and entered the mountain forest to the west!

It is said that Liu Zhiliang goes to the town every three days to get dry food, which is a task that cannot be carried out rain or shine. On the morning of this day, Liu Zhiliang had just set off from the secret camp, and after walking less than three miles, he found that there was someone in front of him! Don't look at Liu Zhiliang is only sixteen years old, but his hometown is a shop, and his brain has been turning fast since he was a child. Hiding behind a big tree and taking a closer look, it turned out that they were all Khitan soldiers wearing the color of shit films!

It is said that Liu Zhiliang looked at a large group of Khitan people, who were staring at the ground and searching carefully, and knew that something was wrong. You must hurry back and report to the eldest brother, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. Because he was worried about being discovered by the Khitan, Liu Zhiliang could only retreat lightly at first. After all, the Khitan searched all the way forward, and the speed was naturally much slower. He withdrew a stone's throw before turning and running away.

Returning to the station, Liu Zhiliang briefly told Yang Peng about the Khitan army's large-scale search of the mountains. Now there was nothing to think about, Yang Peng immediately notified the emergency assembly, and then led everyone to retreat to the top of the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see a small river below the southern slope. It's the middle of June, and the river is still very large, and there is no way to do it. Besides, even if you can cross the river, the speed will be much slower, and if you don't do it well, you will be caught up by the Khitan. If these people are caught up by a large group of Khitans, then there is no need to think about the consequences.

Continuing south, it is a dead end. Yang Peng immediately made a decision and ordered the large army to go west along the mountain beam. Thinking that Cheng Shijie was extraordinary in martial arts, he asked Zhang Xiang to lead the large army to go first, and he and Cheng Shijie stayed to observe the movements of the Khitans. "Shijie, it's not a way to be chased by the Khitan like this." Yang Peng pointed to the surrounding woods and said, "You are from a hunting background, and your skills are not bad." Let's just give the Khitans a cold meal here, and let them not be too arrogant. But you can't make a sound, don't you dare? ”

"Big brother, just give me the big knife, isn't it just to kill people?" Cheng Shijie took Yang Peng's big knife and said softly: "I always felt that I was a responsible person in the past, and I was afraid of murder and crime, so I didn't dare to stretch out my hand easily. Damn, it's not a crime to kill the Khitan now, right? So what are you afraid of? Done! "That's fine! We lay in ambush on both sides, and when they walked over, we started from behind, trying not to make too much noise! Yang Peng commanded as he hid in the grass behind a big tree. Two plum blossom darts were buckled in the palm of his right hand, quietly waiting for the best time to start.

Ten minutes later, the sound of ropes hanging from branches was heard from the east. However, in the time of two breaths, three Khitans appeared in a triangular formation in the sight of the two. Finally waited until the three Khitans walked over, and there were three Khitans more than thirty meters behind. Four three-person groups have passed, and it has only been more than six minutes, and Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie feel like ten years have passed! Finally, the two Khitans who were dragging at the back came over!

However, instead of moving forward, these two guys are holding large knives, looking back to back, and moving backwards! Seeing this formation of the Khitan, Yang Peng was suddenly taken aback in his heart: "It is worthy of the Khitan army that has been baptized by the Great War, and the tactical actions are really unusual, that is, the Yang family army of the Great Song Dynasty does not know if it can do this, the army of the Great Song Dynasty said that the Khitan people are stupider than pigs, and their lives are less valuable than tofu, so that Lao Tzu was almost fooled!" ”

There are pros and cons, the two Khitan tactical moves are meticulous, but for Yang Peng, it is an excellent opportunity! Because these two Khitans came closer, they just had their backs to Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie! This opportunity, for Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie, two people who practice martial arts, it is impossible to give up! I saw the two of them slowly straighten their waists, and their left hands slowly stretched out near the necks of the Khitans. Then he suddenly stretched forward, and his five fingers were folded back to the area! The right hand took the hand crossbow in the Khitan hand, and the thumb was stuck behind the bow and arrow!

Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie used almost the same action, and the five fingers of their left hand grabbed the throat of the Khitan and pressed the enemy's head to their chest. The two of them seem to have been trained for many years, and the action is called a neat and uniform movement! This is the intuition of martial arts training, going straight to the point, and killing with one blow.

The two of them gently put the bow and arrow and the crossbow against the big tree, and then they used both hands to hold the Khitan head who was struggling and twisted it! Now it's okay, there is hardly any sound, and the two Khitans happily go home to report safety!

As soon as Yang Peng gestured to Cheng Shijie, the two of them quickly ripped off the Khitan people's clothes and put them on themselves. Then they looked at each other, grabbed the crossbow with their left hand, picked up the big knife and held it in their hands, and then put the crossbow on their backs, and then chased forward. Seeing that the three Khitans in front of them didn't pay attention to their backs at all, the two of them also accelerated backwards to get close to the two at the rear, and then turned around at the same time and cut the throats of the Khitans with a big knife!

Yang Peng's figure did not stop, and with a push of his hand, he pushed the Khitan's corpse to Cheng Shijie. Then a stride forward, covering the mouth of the Khitan with his left hand, and wiping the big knife with his right hand, everything is fine! Killing is a lot of work! Killing people silently, and killing young and strong Khitan soldiers, that is even more hard work! After dragging the three corpses into the dense forest and hiding them, the two of them smiled bitterly at each other, and then gasped vigorously! There are 14 Khitan people, and now there are 9 left. The breath calmed down a little, and Yang Peng waved his fist and took the lead in rushing out again.

In the same way, after the two of them took out another group, the Khitans in front finally found out that something was wrong! It turned out that the Khitans had an agreement in advance that no matter what each group found or didn't find, they would greet each other after a while, indicating that everything was normal. After more than an hour, the Khitan people in front finally found that there were only two groups talking to each other!

"There is a big Song pig!" The Khitan at the front shouted, and the remaining two groups quickly approached and formed a circle. Their bows and arrows were unanimous, keeping their guard and slowly retreating the way they came. Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie were monitoring these Khitans on both sides, and they also slowly moved forward. Look at the saddle part, the terrain is a little more open.

Holding the six plum blossom darts with both hands, he looked at Cheng Shijie and nodded, and then his figure jumped out, and Yang Peng's hands shook at the two nearest Khitan soldiers! The plum blossom dart was just inserted in the throats of the two Khitan soldiers! During the flashing of his body, Yang Peng clasped the plum blossom dart with both hands. When the Khitans had not fully sobered up, they were thrown out for the second time!

Almost at the same time, Cheng Shijie threw out with a bayonet in his right hand and a big knife in his left hand! The big knife in his left hand went up and cut off the neck of a Khitan man, and the bayonet in his right hand also pierced the back of another Khitan in the heart! It's a pity that before this Khitan man died, he still desperately pulled up his bow and arrow! The sound of an arrow "whoosh" is particularly loud in the silent mountain forest! Especially on the mountain beams, the sound of arrows travels farther.

Cheng Shijie didn't do anything, he didn't stop fighting, he slashed at the necks of all the corpses and cut off six heads! Yang Peng took back all the plum blossom darts, and then quickly picked up the weapons of the Khitans! Cheng Shijie ran to the place where the arrows were originally hidden, and also retrieved all the bows and arrows and scimitars. A total of fourteen Khitans were killed, and I don't know how many are behind. However, after such a toss, even if the Khitan still has follow-up troops, they do not dare to catch up recklessly. The two of them listened carefully to the east, and for the time being, they did not find other Khitans rushing over. Then he spread his feet and ran wildly to the west!

It is said that Zhang Xiang led the team all the way to the west, and after more than an hour, he did not see Yang Peng and the two return, and he was more or less worried in his heart. At this moment, I heard the sound of arrows behind me. The first is that Shi Liancheng is gone, and he must go back to find his eldest brother! Then everyone yelled to go back, it was too unrighteous to run away like this! Zhang Xiang was not at ease, now it was everyone's one meaning, so he took people back the same way. As a result, he didn't go far, and he saw Yang Peng and the two running over quickly with two bundles of bows and arrows.

Yang Peng handed the bow and arrow to Zhou Dayong, who rushed over, and roared: "Hurry up!" The sound of arrows just now will definitely alarm more Khitan troops, and we have no way to deal with it at the moment! After saying that, he led the way in front, ran west for more than ten miles, and then turned southeast and ran for more than twenty miles. When we came to a small stream, we stopped.

"Let's eat a little bit of the dry food on our bodies, and we will continue to travel later." Yang Peng took two sips of water in the stream, and then calmed down his breath. Then he looked at Zhang Xiang and asked, "Where did you pretend to be a handmaiden some time ago?" Liu Zhiliang climbed to a big tree and looked around, and then said: "Not far from the southeast, through the past mountain, there is a cave in the northeast halfway up the mountain, and we are there." ”

"You can see the Khitan army here?" Yang Peng hurriedly asked, "Is it a north-south road?" Liu Zhiliang heard it inexplicably: "Yes, there is such a north-south road here." "Looks like we're back again!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "That's fine, it's not bad on the side of the road." Let's go to your cave! ”

Although it seems that the mountain is very close when I saw it just now, as the saying goes, "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse". As a result, everyone ran desperately for more than two hours before they came to the foot of the mountain that Liu Zhiliang said. Fortunately, the training during this period was very effective, and these seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys all ran out of the iron mines, and after a month of full food, their physical strength could still keep up. It took more than half an hour, and everyone finally arrived at their destination: a large cave with a diameter of three meters and a depth of more than 20 meters.

Bai Shujie climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that this mountain was more than fifty miles northwest of Yingzhou. 180 miles to the southeast is the place where Master Lin Qing'er cultivated, and it was also the place where he came out. It's no wonder that not long after he came out of the master, he was "robbed" by Zhang Xiang and them in the middle of the road, and the relationship turned out to be neighbors. After a night's rest, everyone finally regained their strength. Early the next morning, Yang Peng arranged for three groups to go out to buy grain and salt.
