On one side are the well-trained new troops who are waiting for their meritorious service on the battlefield to seal their wives and children, and on the other side are the bandits who plan to kill them all. The two sides are evenly matched.
In fact, regardless of the bandits' equipment, they are not satisfied with their tactics alone.
The systematically trained army is far superior to the bandits in terms of physical fitness and formation coordination. In the eyes of the Xiang Imperial Army, these bandits are like a pile of loose sand rushing towards them, trying to defeat the army with the help of various weapons in their hands.
The training results of the Xiang Imperial Army were reflected. With the cooperation of the oar and shield, the spear penetrated the gap and stabbed the invading enemy. The three-meter-long spear stood up like a forest. Let alone stabbing, even if it was placed there, it did not move.
, the bandits on the opposite side were also unable to get close, and at this time they used crossbow arrows to fire, causing heavy casualties to the bandits.
This is the difference between a well-trained army and stragglers. The gap between the two sides is not a point, but a gap in one dimension.
In fact, Ye An was using the advantages of the Xiang Forbidden Army to bully others, saying that he was training the Xiang Forbidden Army, but in fact he could not cause the Xiang Forbidden Army to suffer too much losses.
What the Xiang Forbidden Army needs is an actual battle that is not very intense. This is to build their confidence. If the casualties are too large, it is likely to have a negative impact.
At this time, the bandits in Weifeng Village realized the gap between the two sides. Especially after Ye An's commanding flag was played, it gave these bandits a psychological blow.
How could I be so virtuous and capable as to allow the famous Yunzhong Commandery to lead an army to encircle and suppress him?
But the ruthless attack had just begun. The bandits retreated to the stronghold and relied on the stronghold wall to resist. At the same time, they used bows and arrows to kill the soldiers of the Imperial Guard behind the shields.
Huge stones rolled down from a high place with a rumbling sound. These stones had been placed on the cliff beside the mountain stronghold. The soldiers behind the shields were hit by the huge stones and vomited blood. However, the soldiers behind the shields were already red-eyed.
The Forbidden Army could stop there. The blood and brutal scenes aroused adrenaline and awakened the instinct in human genes.
The bandits were not afraid of death, and so were the Xiang Forbidden Army. After the sound of an explosion, the gate of Jiudou Mountain's Weifeng Village was breached, and the Xiang Forbidden Army poured into it like a tide, and Ye An's main formation also began to advance upward.
Hundreds of Xiang Forbidden Army fought with hundreds of bandits. The sharp sound of the copper whistle resounded through the village. Under the command of the copper whistle, the soldiers of the Xiang Forbidden Army managed to stabilize their formation in the chaos, but some people were still rushed.
scattered and fell into a fight.
The siege that lasted less than half an hour had already caused heavy losses to Wei Feng Village. Biao Laowu did not expect that the Xiang army in front of him was so powerful. The reason why he was determined to fight to the death was because Ye An had a great reputation and the Xiang army was not as powerful as the bandits.
Kou.
But now it seems that Ye An's reputation is not in vain, but he has the ability to turn the Xiang army into a strong army capable of conquering and fighting.
"Didn't you say that the Xiang army is vulnerable? Instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, why don't we fight to the death and defeat the enemy? Then there will still be a glimmer of hope? Why is this Xiang army so strong?"
At this time, Biao Laowu was holding Wei Shuquan's neck tightly. As the "wisdom responsible person" of the village, he had no countermeasures and stood there fidgeting.
In the face of true power, his machinations were as useless as pieces of paper. The trembling man could only say: "Heads of the family, let us surrender! There may be a glimmer of hope for surrender at this time..."
Bang... A big mouth slapped Wei Shuquan on the face. Biao Laowu pointed at the sound of fighting outside the cave and stared at him with red eyes: "Surrender now? How to surrender! If you surrender from the beginning, you might still be able to stay.
One life, now that he has been killed like this, if he surrenders, won’t he be chopped into pieces by the Ye Killing God? You all listen to me, at this time, either save your own life, or wait to be driven out and killed. This Ye Killing God
You know who he is better than anyone else. He can’t even hold the party members in his hands, so what will happen if we fall into his hands?!"
Biao Laowu's words made the core members of Jiudoushan's bandits completely give up their illusions. Zhou Laosan whispered: "Ye Thief is vicious! If you let me come back, you will disturb the morale of the army!"
"What stupid words are you talking about? You are back when you are back. If you die in the hands of Ye Thief, it is not worth it! Third brother, you are familiar with the mountain roads. I will give you the most powerful person to block the second wave of Weifeng Village.
At Daozhaimen, Lao Huang's Zuozhai has brought people to help. As long as you can hold it, we can rely on the cave in Jiudou Mountain to continue to defend it! Let's see what Ye Thief can do to me!"
Zhou Laosan was so moved by Biao Laowu's words that he didn't expect that the boss would still choose to believe in himself at the most critical moment. How about risking his life for this brotherhood?
When Zhou Laosan led the people to leave, Biao Laowu immediately changed his face, pulled Wei Shuquan and said: "Second brother, hurry up and collect your money. Let's go down the mountain through the secret passage. Ye Thief is bound to win. We can't defend it."
Come on, although these gold and silver treasures are a pity, nothing is as important as life!"
Wei Shuquan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a confident smile. The reason why he was panicking just now was because he thought there would be a dead end. Unexpectedly, Biao Laowu actually saved a trick. He had been in the mountain for many years without knowing that there was a secret passage. It was a matter of life and death.
He finally relented.
Survival is more important than anything else. Wei Shuquan also knows that this is Biao Laowu who needs his help. After all, he always knows the money best. Even if he has to leave now, he must take away the most valuable and convenient things.
ah!
Wei Shuquan chose Jiaozi, who was the least popular in the local area. He was a smart man and knew that although Jiaozi could only withdraw money from shops opened by merchants in Sichuan, it was light and did not take up space. It only recognized bills but not people.
The characteristics are difficult to trace the origin of, and with some ordinary gold and silver, that's all their belongings.
Biao Laowu pretended to be dissatisfied and asked: "What's the point of bringing these Jiaozi? It's now, and it's still real money!"
"Hey, boss, this friendship is useless now, but you can exchange it for real gold and silver in Tokyo City. The merchants in Shu are rich. As long as we use this real friendship in exchange, we won't be afraid that they won't admit it!"
Looking at the secret passage in front of him, Biao Laowu chuckled: "This is really convenient, so you can go on your way with peace of mind!"
As he spoke, Biao Laowu quickly stabbed out the dagger in his hand. Unexpectedly, before he could get it, he suddenly trembled. He dropped the dagger with both hands and clutched his own throat.
A small crossbow arrow was inserted into his neck. Biao Laowu was like a chicken or duck being strangled by the neck, making a helpless squawking sound. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but more of it was vicious hatred.
Wei Shuquan smiled contemptuously: "Don't look at me like that. I've done a good thing. I've been the one behind the scenes for so many years. You guys are out there killing people, but you always feel like I'm powerless."
Scholars, but you don’t know, it’s best not to mess with a scholar, because he is smarter than you!”
Seeing that Biao Laowu's struggling hands were getting weaker and weaker, Wei Shuquan picked up the short knife from in front of him: "Oh! Also, I am different from you! You bunch of filthy people want to take advantage of me? I am the same after all.
Scholars, who do you think you are?"
Wei Shuquan spat fiercely at Biao Laowu's ferocious face, and then got into the secret passage without looking back, but he never thought that the secret passage was complicated...
