But while others were arresting him, he was recruiting. Since he had such a good thing in hand, he didn't want to get a bad reputation.
In fact, Su Shi can give more good things to the people of Yangxing Village. As long as he gets everyone's gratitude and belief, he can make a lot of money just by earning faith points.
Su Shi did not do this. He knew well that holding a bi was a crime.
There are too many people in Yangxing Village. Once word spreads, it will be difficult to have any peace here. Even if the foreigners don't have their ideas, some bandits nearby may also have their ideas.
In this way, you are not helping people, but harming them.
If a strong man is born, he can take any one of the three things. After saying this, the eyes of the people are bright.
For ordinary people, these three things are rare things that require them to work for a long time before they can earn them. But now, they only need to be a strong man for a day to get them, which makes many people excited.
But after all, there are still dangerous things, and although the people desire these, they are not stupid.
But didn't Su Shi just say that he only needed to hide in the village and fight with the black cavalry? In this way, it didn't seem to be very dangerous.
"General, the common people would like to ask, will we really not need to leave the village soon?" A dark-skinned farmer stood up and mustered up the courage to ask this question.
"unnecessary."
Su Shi said with a very sure tone. "Of course, if the enemy is defeated and you want to make more money, you can break out of the stronghold. At that time, as long as you kill one enemy, you can get all three things.
.”
"What? Kill one person and you can get everything
Three things?" the farmer asked in surprise.
Not only him, but the people in other villages are also talking about it. Doesn't that mean that if you kill an enemy, you can get a lot of money, a bag of white flour, and a bag of polished rice?
"What if we kill two people?" The farmer asked this question.
"Of course you can get double." Su Shi chuckled.
He didn't think that these ordinary people would have such strength. If Meng Qi was really that easy to kill, there wouldn't be anything raging in the north.
But since he asked, Su Shi still gave an answer.
"Okay, count me in, but can the general give me some weapons? I can't kill anyone with my fists alone." The farmer chuckled, showing his big yellow teeth.
"Of course, there are weapons over there. Anyone who wants to join can get one for themselves later." Su Shi said, pointing to the knives and bows and arrows captured from killing two thousand Mongolian cavalry yesterday.
The farmer was the first to sign up. He first walked up to Bai Mian, picked up a bag, turned around and gave it to a woman behind him, "Mother, take this thing home, I want to go into battle to kill the enemy."
"Dad, please be careful." The woman did not try to persuade her. She was afraid that she also knew that there were three children at home who were in urgent need of food.
"I know." The farmer nodded heavily. After putting down his flour bag, he turned around and walked to the pile of weapons. He then picked a scimitar for his hand. After weighing it in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction and walked aside.
go.
After him, more people in the village came forward.
They either chose white flour or polished rice, but no one took the copper coins.
During times of war, food always comes first, and money is not worth much.
In less than half an hour, a thousand people from the village gathered here, all of them men, and none of them very old.
"Brothers Longhu, I will leave these people to you. Remember what I said before, they are mainly used to build momentum and there is no need for them to charge." Su Shi looked at Long Xingyun and Hu Xingfeng and said.
"Understood." Brothers Long and Tiger clasped their fists in agreement, then walked towards the thousands of people and began to divide them into groups and assign tasks.
There were a thousand more people. Although they might not have much combat effectiveness, there was no problem in using them to scare people. Su Shi's eyes turned to Du Feng and said, "You guys should go prepare too."
Du Feng, the deputy captain of the First Siberian Tiger Battalion, was also the black cavalry commander who stayed behind to coordinate Su Shi's actions.
"Yes, young marshal, take care." After saying this respectfully, Du Feng led half a brigade, eight squadrons, and nearly a thousand people out of the stronghold.
After the main force of the black cavalry left, there were only more than 1,700 available soldiers left with Su Shi.
These include the two squadrons of Su's army stationed next to Su Shi, with 240 people, nearly 100 Class A guards, more than 200 side troops led by Wen Yang, and more than 200 side troops led by Zhang Qi.
As well as the thousands of strong men in the village who were just recruited.
This does not include the health team and the art team. Just yesterday, they all came to Yangxing Village with the main force, but they are non-combat troops, and now is not the time for them to appear.
Cui Yuan and others are also resting, waiting for the war to start, and they will start to get busy.
There are more than 1,700 people in the village and more than 1,000 black cavalry outside the city. Including nearly a thousand cavalry led by Du Feng and two scoundrels.
Waiting team.
The total number of troops is far less than 3,000. Now it depends on how many troops the Mongolian Cavalry will send.
Su Shi was not asked to wait any longer. Soon the scouts who had arrived outside Xincheng came with the news that Meng Qi had indeed arrived, and they were still coming with three thousand cavalry.
Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the number three thousand.
Fortunately, there are only three thousand. If there were too many people, it would be difficult to deal with it. After all, there are only more than a thousand people he can really fight here. The rest can just fight with the wind.
Three thousand Mongolian cavalry came towards Yangxing Village. They wanted to see what happened here and why the two thousand cavalry who came here yesterday never returned, and there was no news at all.
However, the leader of the three thousand cavalry, Tong Teer, did not know that not only would he not be able to find yesterday's two thousand cavalry, but their main force riding outside Xincheng would also be severely damaged.
Outside Xincheng.
Ji Zhu and others, who had been ambushing around for a long time, watched the three thousand mengqi leave, but did nothing to stop them.
Ji Zhu also made a rough calculation in his mind. With the three thousand cavalry, the young marshal should be able to cope with it. At worst, he can block it for a while. After he has solved the main force of the Mongolian cavalry here, he will bring the main force back to Yangxing.
Village.
Ji Zhu did not dare to divide his troops.
In fact, there are more Mongolian cavalry outside Xincheng. The scouts have already conveyed the news that there are eleven thousand Mongolian cavalry. This is the enemy Ji Zhu will face.
Compared with the more than 10,000 enemy cavalry, Ji Zhu currently has only more than 5,000 troops.
This also includes 2,500 vanguard troops with low combat effectiveness.
With a ratio of almost one to two, Ji Zhu didn’t dare to do anything.
What contempt.
Meng Qi's strength is quite good, especially his strong fighting spirit. If it were the Liao army, their sudden appearance yesterday would probably cause the opponent to collapse.
But it turned out that the Mengqi did not, and they launched a counterattack against them. In the end, not many people surrendered, and most of them were injured and captured.
That was only 2,000 Mongolian riders, and now there are more than 10,000. Any carelessness may cause irreparable results.
If they don't win here and Meng Qi counterattacks, they can retreat, but the young commander guarding Yangxing Village cannot.
In other words, Ji Zhu has no way to retreat and can only win but not lose.
"Notify everyone to brace themselves and launch a general attack in five minutes." Without further ado, Ji Zhu was also worried that something would happen in Yangxing Village and worried about Su Shi's safety. Ji Zhu immediately issued an order to prepare for a general attack.
.
The Black Cavalry is ambushing the surrounding armies. Some of the vanguards have been scattered, and almost everyone is following a Black Cavalry. This way of leading the new with the old is the best way to maximize their combat effectiveness.
Except for the eight hundred black cavalry, which did not have a vanguard, every soldier in the other first and second brigades was accompanied by a vanguard. As the war was approaching, these black cavalry continued to cheer up the new recruits around them.
"Don't be afraid, we will charge together in a while, just charge and kill."
"Let me tell you, if you really fight, you will find that the enemy is not that scary."
"The enemy is also afraid of death. As long as we are brave enough and fierce enough, they will flee out of fear."
"Don't underestimate yourselves. You are also preparing for the imperial army. You will be the strongest imperial army of the Song Dynasty in the future. You must believe in your own strength."
"one
Just follow me and kill. If an enemy really comes charging at you, I will help you block it."
In various ways, there are different ways of saying that.
The purpose is to improve everyone's morale and dispel the fear in their hearts.
Under the encouragement of the Black Cavalry, the 2,500 vanguard troops kept nodding their heads, and their morale and fighting spirit were also rapidly improving.
With the examples of Sun Hui and Xu Yin, no one dares to be a deserter now.
With the examples of Yang Wenguang and Hu Yanqing, everyone wants to be a master of killing enemies and a hero.
Yesterday, they saw the power and power of the Black Cavalry. Since they can fight with them today, what is there to fear?
Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the morale of the army rose to a peak state. At this time, Ji Zhu issued an order and gave the order for the entire army to charge.
At that moment, bursts of smoke and dust suddenly appeared around Xincheng. More than five thousand cavalry roared and rushed toward the Mongolian camps four miles away.
In order to prevent the Song people in Xin City from breaking out, the Mengqi did not gather together, but divided into several groups and surrounded them outside the city gates.
He did not gather the Mongolian cavalry together. As the commander-in-chief, Alatan certainly knew that there were disadvantages in doing so. For example, in the face of a sudden attack by the enemy, he could not concentrate his efforts.
But do the Song people still have the strength to concentrate?
The arrogant Alatan dispersed his troops. He even hoped that the Song army would come to help. Then the Mongolian knights who were attacked would only need to hold on for a while, and they would be rescued by other Mongolian knights. They would appear from all directions to counter the siege and come to the rescue.
Song Jun.
When the earth
When the whole place was filled with the vibrating sound of galloping war horses, Alatan in the yurt shouted and stood up.
