After Liu Zhiliang left, Yang Peng gathered the remaining 18 people on the flat ground in front of the cave. He looked carefully at them one by one, always feeling a little uncoordinated. After looking at them twice, he discovered that there was a short man with half a head in the middle.
.
Yang Peng saw this little man, who was completely childish, so he asked: "What is your name? How old are you this year?" The little guy said loudly: "My name is Shi Liancheng, I am from Bianjing, I am twelve years old.
"Almost thirteen!" Twelve years old? In his previous life, he could not be independent from his parents at the age of twenty-two. This little guy looked like an adult, without any stage fright.
Yang Peng asked with a wry smile: "Why did you come here? Where are the people at home?" Shi Liancheng puffed up his chest: "I have been following my grandfather since I was a child. When I was nine years old, the army at home robbed our things.
, Grandpa was beaten to death! Then I asked for food, and followed the caravan to Youzhou without knowing what happened, and ended up here. I stayed in Youzhou City for three years, and was caught here the day before yesterday.
"
"Okay, you follow the training first, and we'll talk about it later." Yang Peng didn't have a good idea, and then said to everyone: "Since they all escaped from the iron mine, I think you all know that there is a den for harm. Who can
I don’t want to go in again. You have also seen that running away and hiding is useless. If you really want to protect yourself, then you must unite, grab a sword, bow and arrow and fight them!"
"Starting from today, we will train military posture and physical fitness in the morning, and gun shooting in the afternoon." Yang Peng said seriously: "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 do those things by then.
Bad guys, you are the one who will suffer!" Next, they were regrouped. Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie were each assigned five newcomers, and Shi Liancheng was trained by Yang Peng himself.
This time, Yang Peng streamlined the military regulations in his mind, but the requirements for military posture and formation were extremely strict. Every morning, after an hour of long-distance running on the hillside, there was an hour of standing in military posture.
, then an hour of queue training, and the last hour of squats and push-ups.
In the afternoon, the first thing is the disassembly and maintenance of bows and arrows, and then there is the bow and arrow aiming training. The bows and arrows are always pulled up in a standing position and aimed continuously for an hour. Then there is an hour of kneeling position aiming bow and arrow shooting training, and a prone position hand crossbow aiming training for an hour. After dinner
, the first hour is emergency lying down, crawling forward, sideways roll, tuck your knees and forward roll training, the second hour is the search and alert training of a three-person team while moving, and the third hour is a three-person team’s training.
Attack formation and alternating cover training.
Seven days later, the custom-made clothes were returned, and the training of the small unit became normal. Yang Peng no longer had to pant and give demonstrations. The next step was special training for Shi Liancheng: basic training on plum blossom stakes, and aiming and shooting training on hand crossbows.
, combat training, military terminology and military common sense teaching. Three days later, Shi Liancheng already knew the daily training content. Yang Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully checked the weapons and equipment. Two hand crossbows and 100 hand crossbow arrows were seized.
; Seven longbows, 350 arrows. Nineteen team members, nine hand crossbows, no way to distribute them!
After thinking about it all night, in the early morning of the next day, Yang Peng called Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie and asked them to continue supervising the team members' training. Liu Zhiliang continued to take time to purchase dry food. After explaining clearly, he went out alone without anyone else.
He knew what he was doing. It was said that Yang Peng came out of the mountains, found the direction and went straight to Xintun. According to the relevant information he had, he knew that Xintun in this era should be stationed by the Yuanlanzi Army of the Khitan Army.
There are about a hundred people. They are mainly responsible for maintaining the safety of Youzhou Iron Mine and ensuring the safety of the east side of South Youzhou.
Yang Peng knew that the Khitan people were still very powerful with their bows and arrows. After all, the Khitan people were also a people on horseback. Yang Peng had no choice now. But at present, there were too many people and too little food. There was no other way out in the desperate situation. He had died once and came here.
People, let alone the ferocity of the Khitans, their military literacy is definitely the best in the Song Dynasty! He didn't want his brothers to fight with swords and spears, so he ran here, hoping to find a solution from the Khitans.
After traveling all day and night, 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 to the north is the road to Shunzhou City
The Khitan has fixed patrol missions every day. Yang Peng didn't know that he always thought that he knew a lot of things, especially how to fight. He was very familiar with it. It seemed that 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 Family Army, the strongest army in the Song Dynasty, and was at the peak of its arrogance. After two days of latent observation, Yang Peng basically mastered the Khitan's patrol rules. Every time there was a half-hour interval, there would be
Seven people patrolled, 24 hours a day, all equipped with hand crossbows and long bows and arrows. Looking at the two arrow boxes, one large and one small, on their armed belts, they should have twenty bows and arrows and ten hand crossbows.
At about ten o'clock in the evening on the third day, Yang Peng touched the grass near the military camp and took three plum blossom darts in each hand. At about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, a group of Khitan people came out from the direction of the barracks.
They walked towards Yang Peng with neat steps. They may have never encountered any danger, so these Khitan dogs stood out with their chests and belly high, and they were arrogant. The steps under their feet were very different, which was quite a deterrent in the middle of the night.
Yang Peng stabilized his mind, bent his arms slightly, and raised his hands slightly. The moment the Khitan team came about ten meters in front of him, he threw out the six plum blossom darts with a wave of his hands, and then flew straight to the front.
The one in the middle! He grabbed the Khitan people’s necks with both hands and twisted them. Then he rolled a few times and struck all the Khitan people at the throat with his palm!
It may sound like a complicated process, but it happened in an instant! Yang Peng didn't have time to check anything carefully, so he quickly took back all the plum blossom darts. Then he quickly took off the armed belts of the seven Khitan people, tied up the seven bows and arrows, and carried them
Start and run! From the time he takes the dart to the moment he leaves the scene, the whole process takes less than three minutes!
Human potential is indeed unlimited! After more than two days of lurking, Yang Peng was already exhausted. But he ran all the way until dawn without stopping in the middle! Seeing that he had run dozens of miles, he
Only then did he find a small ravine with a pond, then he threw his bow and arrow on the ground and took a deep breath.
This is not a place to stay for a long time. Yang Peng ate two mouthfuls of dry food and drank some water in the pond. Then he wiped his mouth, picked up his bow and arrow and continued running. When he returned to his cave, it was already midnight. Yang Peng ate
After eating two pieces of dry food, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. By this time, all the team members already knew that their eldest brother went out alone for four days and got back seven bows and arrows worth more than a thousand people!
No need to ask, the eldest brother has killed at least seven Khitans! In the eyes of everyone, the Khitans are almost invincible myths. The eldest brother went out alone and brought back seven Khitan bows and arrows. This is even more mythical than a myth! From here
From now on, everyone will look at Yang Peng differently! Yes, they all look in awe!
What is awe? That is respect and fear! That’s right. Standing in front of you is a guy who kills people just like chopping melons and vegetables. Don’t you have a drum in your heart? At this point, Yang Peng’s words have become true.
No deductions will be made and no one will make any irresponsible remarks!
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. Xiao Liancheng will follow me as a correspondent from today on. In this way, each of your classes will be
There are 9 people. There are 16 long and short bows and arrows in total, 8 are evenly distributed to each class."
"Zhang Xiang and Cheng Shijie are squad leaders, each with a hand crossbow. Because the sizes of the two bows and arrows are different, Zhang Xiang's squad uses Khitan bows and arrows from the Liao Dynasty, and Cheng Shijie's squad uses Khitan bows and arrows from the Song Dynasty.
There will be archery training tomorrow, and the last place in the group will not hold a bow and arrow for the time being, but will hold a sword instead."
Let’s not mention Yang Peng’s training for the moment. A fully armed fighting team of the Liao Kingdom Khitan was all killed by the enemy, and no traces of fighting were found at the scene. In other words, seven of them could stand up to a small team of the Yang Family Army.
The Khitan warriors of the Liao Kingdom were killed by others without any resistance. This is simply a great shame and humiliation!
Such a shameful thing happened, and Namu did not dare to report it to her superiors easily until the whole story was found out. So she sent two teams to conduct a carpet search around the area. They hoped to find the murderer and then strive to atone for their crimes. Two
The small team of Khitan soldiers conducted a wide-net search, but for three consecutive days no valuable clues were found. Namu had no choice but to further expand the search scope. If this matter was not brought to light, his squadron leader
Even if it comes to an end, you may even be prosecuted by military law!
In the evening of the fourth day, the search team finally made an astonishing discovery. A search team found marks made by several large knives at a pond in a ravine! After the Khitan discovered the clues, it was as if they had been given blood.
, both classes became excited. Then they followed the traces along the way and chased after them! On the sixth day, the Khitan search team crossed the mountain path and entered the forest to the west!
It is said that Liu Zhiliang went to the small town to pick up dry food every three days. This was an unstoppable task, rain or shine. This morning, Liu Zhiliang had just set out from the secret camp and walked less than three miles when he found someone in front of him!
Don’t look at Liu Zhiliang, who is only sixteen years old, but he runs a shop in his hometown, and his mind has been spinning fast since he was a child. He hid behind a big tree and took a closer look, and the people who came were actually Khitan soldiers dressed in shit movie colors!
It is said that when Liu Zhiliang saw a large group of Khitan people, staring at the ground and searching carefully, he knew something was wrong. He had to go back and report to his elder brother and the others quickly, otherwise he would suffer a big loss. Because he was worried about being discovered by the Khitan, Liu Zhiliang just started
He could only retreat lightly. After all, the Khitan was searching all the way, so its speed was naturally much slower. He retreated to a stone's throw, then turned around and ran away.
Returning to the station, Liu Zhiliang briefly told Yang Peng the situation of the Khitan army's large-scale search of the mountain. Now there was nothing to think about. Yang Peng immediately notified an emergency gathering and then led everyone to retreat to the top of the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw that
There is a small river at the bottom of the south hillside. It is mid-June now, and the river is still very strong. There is no way to cross the river in a hurry. Besides, even if you can cross the river, the speed will be much slower. If you don't do it well, you will be killed.
The Khitans caught up with them. If a group of Khitans caught up with them, there was no need to worry about the consequences.
Continuing to go south was a dead end. Yang Peng made a quick decision and ordered the troops to go west along the mountain ridge. Thinking that Cheng Shijie was an extraordinary martial artist, he asked Zhang Xiang to lead the troops to go first. He and Cheng Shijie stayed to observe the movements of the Khitan people.
"Shijie, being chased by the Khitan like this is not an option." Yang Peng pointed to the surrounding woods and said, "You are a hunter and your skills are not bad. Why don't we give the Khitan some trouble here and stop them from being too aggressive?"
Arrogant. But you can't make any noise, do you dare?"
"Brother, just give me the sword. Isn't it just to kill people in cold weather?" Cheng Shijie took Yang Peng's sword and said softly: "I used to feel that I was a duty-bound person and was afraid of murder and crime, so I didn't dare to reach out easily. Damn it."
Yes, it's not a crime to kill the Khitans now, right? So what are you afraid of? Just do it!" "Okay! We will ambush on both sides. After they pass by, we will start from behind and try not to make too much noise!" Yang Peng
While giving instructions, he hid in the grass behind a big tree. He held two plum blossom darts in his right hand and quietly waited for the best opportunity to strike.
Ten minutes later, the sound of clothes hanging on branches could be heard from the east. In just two breaths, three Khitan men appeared in the sight of the two of them in a triangular formation. It was not easy.
When these three Khitans walked over, three more Khitans were seen more than thirty meters behind. Four three-person groups passed by one after another, and in just over six minutes, Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie felt like they were passing by.
It took ten years! Finally, the two Khitans who were behind us came over!
However, instead of walking forward, these two guys were holding big swords, looking back to back, and moving backward! Seeing this formation of the Khitan, Yang Peng was suddenly shocked: "It is indeed a Khitan army that has been baptized by the war.
The tactical actions are indeed extraordinary. I don’t know if the Yang family army of the Song Dynasty can achieve this step. The army of the Song Dynasty described the Khitan people as stupider than pigs and their lives are worth less than tofu, which made me almost follow them.
Fooled!"
There are advantages and disadvantages. The two Khitans were meticulous in their tactical movements, but for Yang Peng and the others, it was an excellent opportunity! Because the two Khitans came close, with their backs to Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie! This opportunity, for
For two martial arts practitioners, Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie, there was no way they could give up! They slowly straightened up and slowly stretched their left hands towards the Khitan man's neck. Then they suddenly stretched forward and pinched their fingers towards
Go back to the area! Your right hand took the hand crossbow from Khitan's hand, and your thumb got stuck behind the bow and arrow!
Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie almost used the exact same movements. The five fingers of their left hand tightly grasped the Khitan man's throat and pressed the enemy's head to his chest. The two seemed to have gone through years of training. That movement was called a
Uniform! This is the intuition of a martial arts practitioner, go straight to the point and kill with one blow.
The two men gently placed their bows, arrows and hand crossbows against the big tree, then hugged the struggling Khitan's head with both hands and squeezed it! Now it was done, there was almost no sound, and the two Khitans happily went home to report that they were safe.
went!
Yang Peng gestured to Cheng Shijie, and the two of them quickly took off the Khitan's clothes and put them on themselves. Then they looked at each other, grabbed the crossbow with their left hand, picked up the broadsword, held it in their hands, and put the crossbow on their backs.
With him on his body, he chased forward. Seeing that the three Khitan men in front did not pay attention to those behind him, the two men also stepped backwards and accelerated to approach the two at the back. Then they turned around at the same time and cut the throat of the Khitan man with a big knife!
Yang Peng kept moving, stretched out his hand, and pushed the Khitan's body to Cheng Shijie. Then he stepped forward, covered the Khitan's mouth with his left hand, and wiped it hard with the big knife in his right hand. Everything was fine! Killing is a laborious job! Silently.
Killing people, and killing young and strong Khitan soldiers, is even more strenuous work! After dragging the three corpses into the dense forest and hiding them, the two men smiled bitterly at each other, and then breathed hard! There were 14 Khitan people, and now there are 9 left
After his breath calmed down a little, Yang Peng waved his fist and took the lead to rush out again.
Using the same method, after the two of them killed another group, the Khitans in front finally realized 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 fight each other after a while.
He said hello to indicate that everything was normal. After more than an hour, the Khitan people in front finally discovered that only two groups were talking to each other!
"There is a Big Song Pig!" the Khitan man at the front yelled, and the remaining two groups quickly moved closer and formed a circle. Their bows and arrows were fired in unison, and they remained on alert and slowly retreated along the same route. Yang Peng and Cheng Shijie were on the way.
Watching these Khitans on both sides, they also moved forward slowly. When they came to a saddle, the terrain was slightly more open.
Holding the six plum-blossom darts with both hands, he watched Cheng Shijie nod his head, and then rushed out. Yang Peng swung his hands hard at the two nearest Khitan soldiers! The plum-blossom darts were inserted into the throats of the two Khitan soldiers!
During the dodge process, Yang Peng grabbed the plum blossom dart again with both hands. Before the Khitan man fully woke up, he threw it out for the second time!
Almost at the same time, Cheng Shijie rushed out with the bayonet in his right hand and the sword in his left hand with all his strength! The sword in his left hand came up and cut off the neck of a Khitan man, and the bayonet in his right hand also pierced the back of another Khitan man! What a pity.
Before this Khitan man died, he still pulled up his bow and arrow with all his strength! The "swish" sound of the arrow was particularly loud in the silent mountain forest! Especially on the mountain ridge, the sound of the arrow spread farther.
Cheng Shijie didn't do anything, but kept slashing at the necks of all the corpses, cutting off six heads! Yang Peng took back all the plum blossom darts, and then quickly stripped the Khitan weapons! Cheng Shijie ran to the original place.
They also retrieved all the bows, arrows and scimitars from where the arrows were hidden. A total of fourteen Khitans were killed, and they didn’t know how many more were behind them. However, after all this trouble, even if the Khitan still had follow-up troops, they would not
They dared to pursue them boldly. The two of them listened carefully to the east and found no other Khitan people rushing towards them yet. Then they kicked off and ran towards the west!
It was said that Zhang Xiang led his team towards the west at a high speed. After more than an hour, Yang Peng and the others were not seen returning, so he felt more or less worried. At this moment, he heard the sound of arrows coming from behind.
First of all, Shi Liancheng quit and must go back to find his eldest brother! Then everyone clamored to go back. It was so unjust to run away like this! Zhang Xiang was not at ease. Now everyone seemed to have the same idea, so he took people there.
Returning the way we came, we didn't go far when we saw Yang Peng and two men running over quickly carrying two bundles of bows and arrows.
Yang Peng handed the bow and arrow to Zhou Dayong, who was coming over, and roared: "Go quickly! The sound of arrows just now will definitely alert more Khitan troops, and we have no way to deal with them yet!" After that, he led the way and ran westward.
After about ten miles, he turned southeast and ran for more than twenty miles. He came to a small stream and then stopped.
"Everyone, please eat some dry food. We will continue on our way later." Yang Peng drank two mouthfuls of water from the stream before he calmed down. Then he looked at Zhang Xiang and asked, "You were pretending to be hairy some time ago.
Where did you settle down?" Liu Zhiliang climbed up a big tree and looked around, and then said: "Not far to the southeast, across the mountain passing by, halfway up the mountain facing the northeast
There is a cave outside, and that’s where we were.”
"Can we see the Khitan army here?" Yang Peng asked hurriedly: "Is it a north-south road?" Liu Zhiliang was confused: "Yes, there is such a north-south road here." "It seems that we are walking back again.
!" Yang Peng nodded and said: "This is fine, or on the roadside. Let's go to your cave before we start!"
Although the mountain we saw just now seemed very close, as the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain and running to death". As a result, everyone ran desperately for more than two hours before reaching the foot of the mountain Liu Zhiliang mentioned. Fortunately, the training during this period was very
It was effective. In addition, these 17- and 18-year-old young men all ran away from the iron mines. After a month of full meals, their physical strength could still keep up. After more than half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the 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 took a look. It turned out that the mountain was more than fifty miles northwest of Yingzhou. 180 miles southeast was the place where master Lin Qing'er practiced, and it was also the place where he came out. No wonder it didn't take long after he came out from the master's place.
, they would be "blocked and robbed" by Zhang Xiang and others on the way, and their relationship turned out to be that of 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.
