"Look! It's the owner of the village! ”

"The owner of the village, his old man is back!"

"The owner of the village! The owner of the village is finally back! I'm a stone! ”

The originally quiet and orderly team fluctuated, and many chiefs and leaders took the lead in running to Zou Run's side, impatiently telling their thoughts and gratitude, which attracted many minions who had just come up the mountain full of curiosity and gathered around.

Zou Run couldn't laugh or cry at this, he was not only happy that the backbone of the team supported and respected him as always, but also a little resentful that these people forgot the discipline of the team when they saw him, and made a mess of the team that was originally a little bit of a team.

But looking at the eager faces, and the curious and fearful unfamiliar faces, Zou Run still swallowed some words into his stomach, he opened his arms, pulled this for a while, patted that for a while, and shouted all the names that could be called, and those who couldn't be named also patted their shoulders, touched their heads, and got along with a group of minions very eagerly.

This opened the eyes of Sun Xin and the others, who had just gone up the mountain, and Gu's sister-in-law muttered: "I never thought that the owner of the village was so popular, and the children would support him so much." ”

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao also burst out with eagerness in his eyes when he looked at this scene, and Le He looked at the picture in front of him in a daze, he knew that he had made an extremely correct decision.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Although the owner of the village is young, he acts fairly and justly, is righteous and squandering money, considerate of soldiers, and never lacks daily food. But whoever goes down the mountain to fight, everyone has a reward, and the meritorious person is promoted to the chief leader, and is rewarded with money and food according to the size of the merit, and for those who are disabled due to illness caused by the war, the cottage pays for treatment. ”

The team was lively for a while, Zou Run was freed from the crowd, Yang Lin stepped forward to rectify the order, he drew his horsewhip, beat and scolded, and ordered the minions to hurry up and line up the line, ready to go.

Zou Run looked up and saw that it was not early, and he was afraid that he would have to fight another night battle if he delayed any longer. At the beginning of February, the weather is still a little cold and the days are short and the nights are long, and the temperature drops sharply in the evening. Although everyone has clothes to wear, Zou Run saw that not everyone has cotton clothes or leather jackets, and many ordinary minions are still wearing paper clothes to keep out the cold.

The so-called cotton clothes, in fact, are made of kudzu cloth or linen cloth, which is filled with silk cotton, reed wool or cotton wool sewn, of course, the cotton wool here is not cotton, but the flowers of the kapok tree that have been planted in China, its shape is somewhat similar to cotton, and can also be used for warmth or weaving.

Cotton in the real sense, at the end of the Song Dynasty began to slowly grow in the land of China, until the Yuan Dynasty Huang Daopo learned to use cotton tools and weaving cotton methods, which gradually had the cotton clothes in modern people's cognition.

As for paper clothing, it originated from the ancient Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was completely popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, also known as "paper fur". Generally, it is sewn with thick and strong parchment paper, which is tough in texture, not only durable, but also able to withstand wind and cold, and has relatively good air permeability.

There are also cottage minions who wear paper clothes to fight down the mountain, it can be seen that the financial resources of the cottage are not very sufficient, Zou Run is secretly anxious, money, money, he must immediately spread out the private salt in his hand to expand his income, and at the same time, he has to expand other financial resources, and he can't walk on one leg.

With a mind in his heart, Zou Run drank the order, and the team assembled and marched, targeting Mao Taigong's country manor.

Perhaps Yang Lin knew that Zou Run was considerate, so the next marching process was all carried out in accordance with the rules set by Zou Run before.

The cavalry went out first, and three teams of scouts were sprinkled in front, two people in a team, five miles and one report, in turns, and three teams of scouts were also sprinkled in the back, but it was just one person and one team.

After the infantry army was assembled, because there were only 100 people, they did not form a complex formation, but simply formed a simple long snake formation, according to the width of the road, set as a row of two people and a column of fifty people.

As the owner of the village, Zou Run is not like filmed in modern TV dramas, riding a high-headed horse and swaggering in front of the team, which is what the scout and Yang Lin as a pioneer should do, and he himself honestly took Sun Xin and other five people to ride in the middle of the team.

Generally, there is a special term in the army for the position of the commander-in-chief, which is called the "Chinese army".

Along the way, Zou Run was silent, quietly watching Yang Lin Shiwei, Yang Lin also lived up to his expectations, the sentinels, the march, and the queen of the palace were all done in an orderly manner, Zou Run nodded secretly.

The boring march lasted for more than an hour, with a slight break in between, and at the end of the ugly hour, the group finally reached their destination.

Because it was broad daylight, such a large group of people could not hide their whereabouts, and before they got close to the village, the people who were cultivating in the fields outside the village, and the woodcutters who were picking woodcutters in the mountains, discovered this group of strongmen one after another, and they turned around and ran towards the village, shouting as they ran.

"The thieves are coming!"

"The strongman has come down!"

Zou Run did not give the order to stop it, because there were too many people working in the fields and mountains at this time, and they could not stop him, so he could only go with him, and he was now sitting on his horse and concentrating on checking the situation on the battlefield.

The first thing that catches your eye is the Mao family manor that stands in front of the village, with a high wall and a closed door.

Although Mao Taigong is stingy, but he attaches great importance to his own safety, his manor only has two doors in front and back, surrounded by high walls built with bricks and stones, according to Xie Zhen Jie Bao's description, in addition to the small servants, there are also one or twenty Zhuang Ke who dance knives and guns.

In addition, the village where he is located is a big village, and there are almost a thousand or so people in it, and if he can't keep this guy scattering a lot of money, he can call on hundreds of young people, Zou Run realized that this battle can only be resolved quickly, not delayed.

The war was imminent, and the right to command the troops was automatically switched from Yang Lin to Zou Run.

Zou Run summoned two loud-voiced minions, and gave such and such an order in their ears, and the two minions understood, and then each raised a group of cards, walked out of the formation, and slowly approached the manor in front, under the cover of the shield, he opened his throat and shouted loudly:

"Listen, the people in the village, we are the heroes who came down from Dengyun Mountain, and this time we are here to avenge the wronged Xie Zhen and Jie Bao! Just to kill the first evil Mao Taigong, don't do the business of your fathers and fellow villagers! Please keep the door carefully and don't make mistakes! ”

"If there is a tiger who tries to assist Mao Taigong to resist with weapons, I will kill him when he climbs Yunshan!"

The two shouted loudly several times, and Mrs. Mao in the manor was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, he originally planned to call on the villagers to come to him to help him, but when the thief shouted like this, who would dare to help him.

Mrs. Mao was still incompetent and furious here, but his son Mao Zhongyi was not as shrewd as his father in advance, and he was confused afterwards, so he stood up and commanded directly:

"Hugh listens to the thieves! How can I easily break this Zhuangzi, who is strong on the ground? I have sent someone to Benzhou to deliver the message, just guard for a moment and a half, my brother-in-law will bring soldiers and horses to come to the rescue, then we will wait for the inside and outside, both sides of the attack, will be able to break the thief army! ”

"You just need to go to the village wall to protect it, and I will reward each person with five times! Kill one minion, and the reward is consistent! Kill one of the bosses and reward five times! If anyone can kill the leader of the thieves, the reward is fifty yuan! ”

Hearing that there will be rescuers, and there is money to take, the enthusiasm of these bankers has also come up, they are the thugs raised by the Mao family who sell illicit salt and run the sea route, and many people have seen blood, so the owner promised a reward incentive, this group of people is not like ordinary people who are scared when they hear the thieves.

A Zhuang guest leader inside raised the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Brothers! What are you doing in a daze! The little master said, as long as you dare to sell your life, you can make money, go! Follow me up the wall, and you'll be able to meet these thieves who have climbed Cloud Mountain. ”

"Let's go! Listen to Brother Zhu! Go to the wall! ”

"That's right! Let's go together, defend the manor, and kill a few thieves in exchange for bounty money to buy wine and drink! ”
