Turn off the cold water.

Xin Huang, although he was appointed as a guard commander and was pampered on weekdays, but he has been in this position for twelve years, Xin Huang is definitely not a stupid person.

Under his hands, he had already sprinkled a lot of ears and eyes within a radius of fifty miles from Lengshui Pass.

Before the thieves came out of Laoxingwei, Xin Huang's subordinates learned from the fleeing people that the thieves in Hefei had been dispatched.

As the sentry came in waves, the news brought back gradually became clear.

The sentry observed the thief camp from a distance, and the anti-thieves dispatched about 30,000 to 40,000 people this time.

This data looks quite scary.

But in fact, Xin Huang is not worried.

His guards were actually only more than 3,000.

Compared with 30,000 or 40,000 people, it is a lot less.

But it is impossible for the thieves to be thirty or forty thousand, all of whom are soldiers.

In the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang's 400,000 troops and wild beasts.

Not to mention that Wang Mang couldn't get together so many people at that time, according to the estimation of the Song people, Wang Mang had 100,000 people at that time, and it stands to reason that Liu Xiu's seven or eight thousand men wanted to fight 100,000 people, so there was no objection to hitting the stone with an egg.

But why did Liu Xiu win, and at a very small cost?

That's because in ancient wars, the standard configuration was one soldier, and there were three auxiliaries behind him.

These three auxiliaries have to help the soldiers with weapons, armor and scattered things.

Therefore, in Xin Huang's estimation, the thieves can actually fight, and there are only 10,000 people when they are full.

Although four or five thousand is still not an advantage compared to ten thousand.

But he is on the key point of the road that must be passed by the thief, and the thief wants to gnaw his [hard bone], hehe!

"What's going on over there in Jinchengzhai?" Xin Huang turned his head to look at Mr. Xiong.

Mr. Xiong is the Xixi he just recruited this year, and he teaches his children to read on weekdays, and once in a while, Xin Huang found that this person is still proficient in the art of war, so this expedition brought this old master out together.

Mr. Xiong arched his hand and said: "My lord, those people occupied Jincheng Temple, and now they have built Jincheng Temple like an iron bucket, and they can't attack it when they are idle!" ”

At this time, Sun Yanshi, who was a guest general, was worried: "Lord Xin, after all, the coastal defense battalion was built by Zhang Bingxian himself, if there is a mistake, it will be difficult for Lord Bingxian to explain!" Moreover, these soldiers of the coastal defense battalion were all recruited by Xu Gongzi himself......"

Before he finished his words, Xin Huang smiled and said, "Brother Sun, you misunderstood me, the reason why I sent these people to Jincheng Walled City, did I want them to be horns with us?" ”

"These people were still mud legs years ago, what kind of combat power can they have? If the rules are broken in my camp, shall I punish them or not? ”

"It just so happens that the Jincheng Walled City is far away from the official road, and the thieves are in a hurry to go south, so they won't make a special trip to attack, even if they go, it's a partial teacher, although I don't have good intentions for them, but in the end it can be regarded as taking care of."

"When the time comes, Lord Bingxian and that Xu Gongzi won't blame me, right?"

Although Sun Yanshi knew that he was making excuses, this reason could also make sense, so it was not good to persuade him again.

But he came with the coastal defense battalion, but he has been dragged by Xin Huang in the cold water pass for the past two days, and he has offered to say goodbye several times, but Xin Huang has stopped him.

Seeing that the anti-thieves were about to come, Sun Yan couldn't stay here anymore, so he arched his hand and said: "My lord, I will go to Jincheng Walled City today and let those machine soldiers defend against the enemy alone, I don't feel at ease!" ”

Xin Huang didn't have much friendship with him, but now he saw that he insisted on leaving, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then it's ......."

"Mr. Xiong, you go and get twenty taels of silver to use as Cheng Yi for Sun Yanshi!"

"Oops! Lord Xin, it's really a shame to be a lower official! ”

"Hahaha, we are all robes, what are these silvers? When I go to Yangzhou, I will ask my brother to break the bank! ”

"It's easy to say, it's going to be sure!"

……

Sun Yishi packed up his things, took more than a dozen personal soldiers, and hurriedly went down the mountain by taking advantage of the stalls that were not surrounded by Lengshuiguan.

Just as he left Lengshuiguan and went down the mountain for less than half an hour, the vanguard of Hefei anti-thieves surrounded the small Lengshuiguan tightly.

At this time, Sun Yanshi didn't know that something had happened behind his buttocks.

The pro-soldier smiled and said: "It's still your lord, you have a good brain, in the past two days, we can't eat well in the matter, and we can't sleep, I'm afraid that we will suddenly be surrounded by those anti-thieves!" ”

"Yes, my lord, listen to those people who are new to Anwei, this place of Jincheng Walled City is out of the way, and it is impossible for the thieves to pass."

Seeing that Jincheng Village was about to arrive, Sun Yanshi glared and scolded: "Niangqiu, a few foodies, you are like you, you went down the mountain to avoid thieves?" ”

Everyone: "......"

Sun Yanshi no longer spoke, but looked ahead worriedly.

There are some things that he can't say to Xin Huangming, Xin Huang looks down on this group of regimental training soldiers, that's because he thinks that this regimental training is just a family thug raised by a rich son!

I don't know if I can fight or not, but he doesn't know much about Xu He.

Xu He is by no means the son of one of those wealthy families, he is interested, and he raises some private soldiers to be powerful and good on weekdays, and he is a disaster for the township.

According to his observations along the way, the soldiers of the coastal defense battalion were even much more capable than the guards of the guards.

Not only endure hardships and stand hard work, but also enforce prohibitions.

Not to mention his new Anwei, even if it is the Yangzhou Guard under the command of his own commander Chen, it is estimated that he is not the opponent of these people alone.

Moreover, what kind of person Xu He is, he must be an official in the future, and that official will never be small.

Xin Huang arranged the group training to Jincheng Walled, in case something went wrong, Xu He definitely had 10,000 ways to make him unable to eat and walk around.

The reason why I rushed over in a hurry.

In addition to drawing a clear line with Xin Huang, he just thought that if he could climb the big temple of the Xu family, he would ...... in the future

Just as he was riding on his horse and thinking about the problem, the soldier who was suddenly leading the horse pulled the reins of the horse and said nervously: "Lord Sun, you listen, there seems to be the sound of shouting and killing and firearms. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yanshi was startled, and listened to it, and sure enough, there seemed to be a faint sound of shouting and killing in the wind, accompanied by the sound of shouting and exploding.

Following the direction from which the voice came, it was the Jincheng Temple that he was about to go to.

The soldiers drew their knives to protect Sun Yanshi's side, and one of them said, "My lord, what should I do?" Are we still in the past? ”

Past?

Didn't that hit the muzzle of the gun now?

Sun Yan said: "Send someone over to see what the situation is." ”

After two sticks of incense.

The soldiers sent out turned around and found a group of people hiding in the woods.

"Lord Yu, anti, anti-thief......"

"How many?"

"I can't count it, Jincheng Temple is densely packed with people, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, there are five or six thousand!"

Sun Yan's heart sank down.

Five or six thousand, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in this coastal defense battalion, and most of them have never even seen thieves!

They, can they withstand it?
