Therefore, these East China Sea Allied cavalry, who were originally like wolves and tigers, turned their horses and fled, completely ignoring that their own troops were three or four times the advantage of the opponent. What is funny is that even if they are strong next to them,
The refugees from Shangqiang County who were watching actually felt that it was natural for these East China Sea pirates to escape.
When the red knights around Lin Fengjin rushed out, it was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Many of them were even too weak to raise their spirits. What was the difference between such a chase and herding sheep?
However, the young master's order had to be obeyed. Ten minutes later, the sound of the horn sounded, and everyone turned back. Not only were there no shortage of people, but they also drove back a large group of mounts, including horses, oxen, donkeys, mules, etc.
They were all mixed together, and there were one or two hundred of them!
At this time, Chi Bixiong rode his horse and ran in front of Lin Fengjin, dismounted and bowed down, handed back the Phoenix Bow, and said loudly:
"Young Master, you are lucky to have lived up to your destiny!"
Lin Fengjin took the Phoenix Bow and played with it with a smile. Chi Bixiong's eyes were hot and he did not hide his desire for this magical bow. After a long while, Lin Fengjin said:
"I have always been a person who deserves reward for my merits and punishment for my faults. The contribution you made this time is not small. So, tell me what reward you want?"
Chi Bixiong immediately said loudly:
"I hope you will give me the Phoenix Bow!"
Lin Fengjin shook his head and said:
"No, during the battle with Wu Zuocheng, although you also made great contributions, and your contribution this time is not small, there are also several people who have greater achievements than you but have not received rewards. If I use the Phoenix Bow like this
I rewarded you with the treasure, but I’m afraid others won’t accept it.”
Chi Bixiong's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he also knew that Lin Fengjin was telling the truth. But at this time, Lin Fengjin whetted his appetite and said:
"However, this time you have traveled thousands of miles to come here. Even if there is no merit, there is still hard work. So, this phoenix bow will be temporarily handed over to you for safekeeping. When you have made enough merits to make up for it, it will be considered
Let me formally reward you!"
After saying that, he threw the phoenix bow in his hand. Chi Bixiong immediately caught it with both hands, his face full of ecstasy. The grassland man was straightforward and kowtowed directly in front of Lin Fengjin. Lin Fengjin did not scream.
Even if he stops, he won't stop.
After seeing Lin Fengjin handle these matters, the refugees who escaped knew that these people had no evil intentions and were here to kill the East China Sea pirates and were not gangsters, so they seemed to have found a backbone and all attached to them. However,
But I was still very scared when I saw the people in Sanlibu. It was the kind of complicated mood where you want to be gay but you are embarrassed to express your feelings.
Fortunately, soon, the guide from the Lin family who was responsible for getting to the front station came to report. It was said that a squire was introduced among these refugees and came to see Lin Fengjin.
At this time, the prestige of the squires in the county can be said to be very strong. As long as more than 40% of the squires can unite, even the local county magistrates will be in trouble. If they cannot move forward, they will be completely ignored. Lin Fengjin has to solve this problem at this time.
According to the guide's introduction, he said that this gentleman Wang was one of the local celebrities and was originally a civil servant. After more than ten years of officialdom, he first served as a county lieutenant and then as a county magistrate. After that, he resigned and returned to his hometown. However, he opened a medicine shop.
He has cured many people, so he has a good reputation.
As the ancients said, if you are not a good person, you must be a good doctor. The life trajectory of this gentleman Wang is really consistent.
The Lin family's usual caravan would also purchase medicines such as old wild ginseng from Wang Xiangshen's medicine shop, and would also help them carry bird's nests and other medicines from the south. The two parties were familiar with each other, so they hooked up.
hook.
If Lin Fengjin wants to drive the East China Sea Allied Forces out of Shangqiang County, it is definitely impossible with more than a hundred horses at hand. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Without the help of local people, it will be impossible.
task.
Therefore, this Squire Wang was just like Lin Fengjin who came to the pillow when he wanted to doze off, so he didn't take the big one, jumped off the horse and chatted for a while. When Squire Wang asked Lin Fengjin the reason for coming, he said honestly and politely.
Those who came here to visit relatives would certainly not sit idly by and ignore the pirates committing crimes in the East China Sea.
Naturally, this gentleman Wang was not willing to lose his property in the county for nothing. Land is the foundation of human beings, and people who leave their hometown are despicable! He naturally expressed great appreciation for Lin Fengjin's behavior, so the two parties naturally hit it off.
The more we talk, the more speculative it becomes.
At this time, more and more refugees were escaping from the city. People had a herd mentality. When they saw the place was crowded, they naturally gathered around to watch. Squire Wang looked around and saw three or four more local people crowded in.
Jin Shen, several people put it together, and Lin Fengjin proposed it, asking them to organize the strong men here. Needless to say, his own people will defeat the enemy in the front, and these people can follow behind and wave the flag.
By cheering, you can not only show your momentum, but also when the enemy is defeated, you can chase them up and beat them up.
These squires were very sensible, and they all agreed to Lin Fengjin's plan without hesitation. One of them, Cai Yuanwai, was a big landowner. He was also quite kind to his tenants, and he was accompanied by two other members of the clan.
More than a dozen strong men raised their arms and shouted, and immediately one or two hundred people gathered.
With this example, and the fact that these people saw with their own eyes that Lin Fengjin's more than 100 bodyguards were extremely vicious, hundreds of cavalry chased hundreds of East China Sea Alliance cavalry to kill them, and the other party did not even dare to say a word.
, their confidence was greatly increased at that moment, and they came enthusiastically. It didn't take long for seven to eight hundred strong men to come out.
At this time, Lin Fengjin also grasped the general real situation in the city. The West Gate had been breached, but there were still people resisting in the city. The county magistrate was guarding the county office, and there was also a Zhenwei Martial Arts School and Ping'an Escort Bureau, which were definitely tough targets.
, coupled with the fact that there are more than a dozen large families with high walls and deep houses, the East China Sea Allied Forces' military discipline is loose. They will definitely be dispersed as soon as they enter the city. Even if it is delayed until noon, it is impossible to occupy the entire city.
The reason for such separate fighting is that the county magistrate was stupid. He originally ordered the servants of the big families in the county to be sent to defend the city. Everyone knew that the eggs would not be destroyed when the nest was overturned, so they all sent them out.
, but it turned out that Zhou Po wanted to avenge himself at this juncture, thinking that the incoming thieves were false, so he actually ordered the servants of several big families who were at odds with him to go out of the city to spy. This was a clear sign that he wanted people to die.
At this time, people from the martial arts school and the escort agency came out to smooth things over, but this week the county magistrate actually ordered them to die together! So there must have been a big mess.
This week, the county magistrate thought he had a plan and did not obey the orders of the local defender during the war. Generally speaking, the charge was that of a "spy" who ransacked homes and exterminated families. He was thinking about how to organize these people after the East China Sea Allied Forces retreated.
He was charged with the crime, and then he divided the family property and took kickbacks. As a result, the East China Sea Allied Forces actually played it real this time and really came to attack the city. This time he was completely stupid.
The Ji family that Lin Fengjin was most concerned about also had very clear and detailed information. They happened to be neighbors with the escort agency, and the house in the Ji family's county town was also quite strong, so the chance of being breached at once was not high.
Lin Fengjin thought carefully for a while. At this time, he was a little entangled. The rescue of the Ji family was very important. If the Ji family wanted to be grateful, then rushing in when the house was broken down was the best choice. It was best.
The most perfect situation is to kill the servants and Master Ji with blood splattered all over his face.
Don't wait until the East China Sea Allied Forces attack the Ji family and wipe them out. Then even if you accept your favor, your favor will be limited.
Of course, if you go too late, the ending will undoubtedly be even more tragic.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Lin Fengjin can only send troops quickly, otherwise, he cannot afford the worst result. The question is here, how can we seize this opportunity?
At this time, Lin Fengjin began to miss Tian Xiangzi's assassin. He was very powerful and proficient in stealth assassination techniques. He was the best scout. Although he died easily and was not very durable, Tian Xiangzi's secret skills
To make up for this shortcoming, you can die casually. Soon a new generation of assassin servants will appear again...
Fortunately, at this time, someone finally appeared to help Lin Fengjin solve his problems.
He is Lin Li.
Lin Li's body at this time was that of Xu Grub. Although Lin Fengjin was very reluctant to dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates, he looked at Xu Grub's body and belly, which was so strong that he could be transferred to the Berserker class, and couldn't help but said:
"this......"
Lin Li said calmly:
"I didn't say I did it myself."
After finishing speaking, he flipped his wrist and took out a box. After opening it, there were six thumb-sized black giant wasps inside. They were covered with black hair and lay motionless in the box.
Lin Li sighed and said melancholy:
"This kind of three-eyed bee specializes in stealing the honey of ordinary bees. However, because there are fewer and fewer ordinary bees, it is directly starved to extinction. It has been extinct overseas for more than 30 years. Unexpectedly, the Central Plains is really a vast land and rich in resources. In recent years,
You can encounter them every day when you walk on the road! I have already made some progress in refining them. After they are released, I can also see what they can see. Moreover, I am also proficient in lip reading. Every word spoken by the person I monitor is
I can hear a sentence very clearly."
"Oh?" Lin Fengjin said with great joy. "This is the best. The most distinctive feature of the Ji family is the adjacent escort agency. There is only one escort agency in the county. In this case, there is no way to admit the mistake! Then please ask the gentleman to do the magic?"
"
Soon, Lin Li was in a tent, supported by eight people, performing the spell. The news that came back was that the Ji family and the escort agency were all safe and sound. There were more than a dozen corpses of the East China Sea Alliance Army at the door. It seemed that there were already
The result of the battle.
In this case, Lin Fengjin did not panic, and took this opportunity to give the more than 800 strong men around him a simple drill, at least to let them know some basic common sense, so as not to realize that Lin Fengjin's personal guards were obviously
To lure the enemy into retreat as if they were defeated, or to rush forward bravely even though they should retreat, is a bit ridiculous.
Lin Fengjin had already provided disaster relief when he was in Zhongtang, and Wu Zuocheng was created by him. It couldn't be easier to train these seven or eight hundred people. At this time, he also showed his ability in organization and scheduling.
Outstanding ability, when the red cavalry beside Lin Fengjin chased the opponent, they also drove back a large group of animals. At this time, he asked the seven or eight hundred people to nominate themselves and selected fourteen leaders.
He has between thirty and one hundred people under his command.
Then he gave each leader two or three mounts to allow them and their cronies a certain degree of mobility, and then told these leaders to follow the red flag when they saw it raised in the team, and to retreat with their men under the blue flag.
, with this free time, Lin Fengjin saw that there were bamboo forests in several surrounding villages, and specially asked people to chop down hundreds of bamboo guns and distribute them to the people.
The bamboo spear is definitely not as powerful as those recorded in unofficial histories and anecdotes. It even needs to be refined with tung oil. It is bragging to poke a bloody hole. But the bamboo spear is a long weapon after all, and it can be held in your hand.
Naturally, there is a sense of security, and the main function of this thing is to pierce exposed parts, such as the face, eyes, etc.
For example, if Lin Fengjin ordered them to clean up the battlefield and beat up drowned dogs, it would be fine if they were armed with strong bamboo spears, but if they were thrown directly into the frontal battlefield, they would be sent to death.
In view of the previous brilliant achievements of those around Lin Fengjin, in this temporarily formed interest group, his words can be said to be true to his word. He stayed here until noon. Although some people murmured privately, there was no
People dare to speak out publicly.
Sensing the signs and undercurrents of turbulence in the ranks and instability in people's hearts, Lin Fengjin simply called together several squires and selected leaders, and said straight to the point:
"The reason why I am setting up troops here is because the East China Sea pirates' position is not yet in chaos. Although we seem to have a thousand people, we can only fight with the hundreds of horsemen and horses under me. The East China Sea Allied Forces are
There are three to four thousand people. They are originally meant to defeat the masses with a small number. If they cannot find a good opportunity, they will die."
"Not to mention anything else, just because I sent my children to you, I can't let you down! Not only must we win this battle, but we must win it beautifully. Once it becomes a protracted war or a tragic victory
Then we are defeated, why? Because ten of the people you called out are honest farmers. We can only rush forward with blood and courage. Once too many people die on our side, we will inevitably become panicked and timid and will not fight.
Self-destruction."
How have these people ever encountered war? Listening to Lin Fengjin's eloquent words, of course I felt that this young master was mature and prudent, and he would not care about human life and use villagers to fill their lives. This was in sharp contrast to the dog official. For Lin
Feng Jin's trust has been raised to another level.
In fact, Lin Fengjin said so much nonsense, is there any truth? Of course, there is only one main reason, that is, if the Ji family is not in danger, of course they cannot send troops...
Of course, Lin Fengjin's Chiqi were not idle at this time. They began to implement the "wolf pack" tactic, that is, a group of five people took turns to go out to harass and investigate the surrounding intelligence. Every time they went out, they would bring
Several heads came back, and at the same time, as the intelligence gradually increased, the situation of the four gates of Shangqiang County was also clearly understood. In this case, it would be convenient for Lin Fengjin to give an order and then step out to rescue people.
When the sun was slightly above the head, a person suddenly walked over and whispered a few words to Lin Fengjin. Lin Fengjin immediately nodded slightly and said:
"send troops!"
The two words Lin Fengjin said were not serious, but they made everyone around him feel excited as if they had been given a shot in the arm, and they all looked at him.
"Chi Bixiong!" Lin Fengjin said suddenly.
Chi Bixiong immediately rolled off his horse, half-knelt on the ground, and said solemnly:
"Son."
Lin Fengjin said:
"This battle is left to you. You make the decision. The result I want is for the coalition forces of the countries in the East China Sea to withdraw. If there are any problems, you and Tabo can discuss it."
How could Chi Bixiong not know that Lin Fengjin was deliberately cultivating him? He immediately said loudly:
"Yes! I take my orders."
Lin Fengjin threw his command talisman over. In an instant, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder. Chi Bixiong was already confident and aimed towards the west of the county seat. The seven or eight hundred strong men also rushed towards the small town.
The leader yelled and started to follow. It looked like a large area of darkness, but there were still a lot of people mixed together.
When he went out for reconnaissance before, Chi Bixiong was already thinking about how to defeat the enemy. Logically speaking, the enemy's camp should be very empty at this time and they were all out. However, the East China Sea Alliance cavalry who were killed before would definitely go back to report the news, so
It is impossible for the enemy to be unprepared.
Therefore, Chi Bixiong does not intend to take this risk, but to fight steadily. There are more than 3,000 people. According to the young master, an army can still fight when more than 40% of the people are killed, that is
The army is strong. Is the East China Sea Allied Forces that came to attack this time considered a strong army?
Of course not,
Besides, it is absolutely impossible for the East China Sea Alliance forces to attack the city without any damage. In addition, the "cavalry" that were defeated previously have lost at least 20% of their strength.
In other words, if we kill another 20%, about 600 people, we will reach the critical point of 40%.
In addition, Shangqiang County is also a plain area and belongs to the category of "Northern Wilderness". When riding a horse, it is no different from running on the grassland. The only difference is that the horses trample vegetables and crops here, while those on the grassland are trampled.
Xiaocao, it’s like playing at home!
Therefore, Chi Bixiong's purpose of leading people on horseback at this time is to kill people! Kill to a certain extent and make the opponent tremble with fear. If he hears the news and escapes, he will naturally pick the fruits of victory. For Chi Bixiong,
To ride on these arrogant and powerful generals, isn't it just a mere 600 lives of the East China Sea Allied Forces?
After Chi Bixiong led the crowd to leave, Lin Fengjin, the hands-off shopkeeper, simply stood up, nodded to the wild boar and said:
"Call Mr. Lin, let's enter the city now."
At this time, for Lin Fengjin, with Sirius, Shui'e, Wild Boar, and the mysterious Lin Li by his side, this combination can be said to be very powerful, and it can be achieved by anyone in the world. What's more,
Is it a mere county town?
Although the gentry next to him were trying to persuade him, Lin Fengjin still insisted on going his own way, and strode into the west gate of Shangqiang County with a group of confidants.
This west gate was deliberately left by the East China Sea Allied Forces to undermine the fighting spirit of the defenders. It was already empty and empty of people, because those who wanted to escape had already escaped, and the remaining people who decided to defend would not come out. You can see
, there was a large pool of blood in the city gate cave, and there were several corpses of the defenders. It seemed that there should have been a conflict when the city gate was opened.
After entering the city of Shangqiang County, Lin Fengjin discovered that although it had suffered a military disaster, it could be seen from some details that it was usually quite prosperous, whether it was the deep stone on the street or the
The ruts and the density of shops all fully illustrate this point.
Suddenly, there was a cry from the shop next to it. The shop's facade was obviously smashed. A man could be seen lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but a woman was
He was surrounded by several people from the East China Sea Allied Forces. Most of his clothes had been torn off, revealing his red bellyband, and his cries were extremely pitiful.
At this time, Mr. Jiuyuan's old servant Liu Bo saw this situation, but he was already very angry. Lin Fengjin took a look and said:
"Sirius, go and kill these East China Sea coalition forces. Don't worry about the rest. Come back and catch up with us as soon as possible."
After Tianlang heard this, he immediately walked towards the store.
As Lin Fengjin and his team went deeper, it can be said that the closer they entered the interior of the county, the more chaotic and miserable it became. There were cries and cries everywhere. This is natural. The East China Sea Allied Forces are not good men and women who came to the city.
The purpose is simple, to burn, kill, loot and loot.
Under such circumstances, the local tycoons and wealthy families were able to hold on longer. At least the defeated troops in small groups were determined not to knock down the high walls of their deep trenches and compounds. The first to suffer must be
For these ordinary people who are doing small businesses, if the commander orders a city cleansing, no matter how good the military discipline is, it will take almost an hour to gradually restore the organization. This hour is the time for the soldiers to ruin the ordinary people.
Only when these "soft persimmons" (ordinary people) have been completely ruined can we muster enough strength to attack the strongholds and conquer the big families who are stubbornly resisting.
Because Lin Fengjin deliberately delayed it for an hour or two, the East China Sea Allied Forces in the city also began to gather at this time, preparing to attack big households. Therefore, the streets at this time seemed particularly deserted, and occasionally one could see people
There were bleeding corpses of ordinary people, staring up at the sky with dead eyes. Lin Fengjin and the others also encountered two or three groups of defeated soldiers, and they were all killed as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
Relying on Lin Li's "living radar", when Lin Fengjin and the others arrived at Ji's house, they happened to see the blazing door being hit hard by falling wood and collapsing! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for more novel updates.
