Chapter 62: The horse thief arrives, fight to the death without retreating
Jiang Yang was speechless. What kind of scout is this?
Forget it, they blindly pursued combat power, but neglected to cultivate their other abilities, such as exploration.
Prescient intelligence capabilities are crucial in a war and can even determine the direction of a war.
Jiang Yang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "What weapons do they have?"
"There are all kinds of things. Some people have knives, some have maces, and some have spears." The scout replied quickly.
Jiang Yang continued to ask: "Do they have armor on them? Do they have any flags?"
"No, the clothes are all different colors, and there are no flags." The scout quickly replied.
Jiang Yang nodded: "You go and have a rest. Chen Zhiyong's entire army is gathering, distributing weapons and equipment, and standing ready. Today is the time to test your achievements!"
"Yes." When Chen Zhiyong went out, someone sent him a set of armor. Although the Wang brothers were upright, it didn't mean they didn't know how to behave. They still made a different set of armor for Jiang Yang.
The bandits in Xishan, Jiang Yang is a little bald, they came too fast.
I originally planned to ask Ma Yan to arrange for someone to go look for him and find out their manpower, but now his eyes are darkened and he is really bald.
Forget it, look at the armor in front of you, white with red edges, a mighty tiger head printed on the chest, and dragon's mouth shapes on both shoulders.
White catkins were flying on the spear, and Jiang Yang put the armor on his body without any pretense and with the help of the two men.
Silver spear and white armor, young general.
Who was not a romantic young man, wearing bright clothes and angry horses?
Look at today, storms are gathering and heroes are emerging.
In an instant, countless words flashed through Jiang Yang's mind.
Guangzong honored his ancestors, bravely championed the three armies, killed generals and captured the flag, sealed the wolf as his subordinate, and countless famous people still look at the present day.
Holding his palm lightly, Jiang Yang's eyes changed and he took the lead.
Outside the training camp, flags were already covering the sky.
Even though it was afternoon, there were still dark clouds. In the military camp, everyone stood guard against the wall.
The wooden wall looked crumbling, and in front were soldiers wearing armor and knives. Their palms were sweating, and their hearts were beating as they stared at the dust not far away.
They are all human beings. They are good farmers. They are all on the battlefield for the first time. Although they are well-trained, it is their first actual combat. How can they not feel scared in their hearts.
Jiang Yang understood this situation and glanced at Chen Zhiyong.
He is a good executor, but he cannot be a general!
Soldiers can be without ideas, but generals cannot. An army is easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
Jiang Yang stepped forward without any sign of fear.
Holding the spear tightly in his right hand, he looked around and saw that the enemy was about a few thousand meters away.
A thick and dark group of people rushed toward them, and the hoofbeats of the cavalry in front made a clanging sound, as if the earth was shaking.
The enemy is coming, Jiang Yang takes a closer look.
There were probably more than 2,000 people, and there were 800 cavalrymen in front of them. No wonder they dared to run amok.
You must know that cavalry is the dominant force when it comes to cold weapons, and one can be equal to ten on a flat ground!
A mere 800 cavalrymen are as strong as a thousand troops.
The most important thing is that it is so charging and killing, if you can't stop it, you will be defeated in an instant.
Jiang Yang took a deep breath and said, "Soldiers! The Xishan bandits harassed our county government and messed up our people. Now they are brazenly harassing our territory."
"Soldiers, turn around and look behind you. What is that? That is the new countryside! It is where your wives and children will live. There are fertile fields, food, housing, and schools."
"What is there? It's hope! It's the place we will fight to the death to watch."
"If we retreat, our wives and children will be destroyed. The seven-foot-long body of a man must stand with heaven and earth!"
"If you can't protect your family, how can a seven-foot man exist in the world?"
"Today! I will take the lead in charging and pass on my orders! Anyone who sees me falling must not retreat! No chaos! No rescue! Destroy all enemies in sight!"
"Today! The only option is to fight to the death! Do you dare to agree with me?"
"dare!"
"dare!"
"dare!"
The voice became louder and louder, and everyone who was originally nervous also relaxed.
Behind him is his family, and in front of him is the county magistrate who is leading the people. So why not give up his seven-foot body to heaven and earth?
Lord County Magistrate, if such a person fights against me, what should we fear?
"Okay! You are all good men from Xiami County! Today, my undead enemies will never even think of stepping over!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Only Death!"
Jiang Yang reassured the soldiers with a few words and continued to issue orders: "Move all the fences over to block their cavalry charge. The rest of the people retreat and the archers prepare!"
"Once we reach the distance of three hundred steps, the archers can use their freedom to fire a volley at me!"
"Take your orders!"
Chen Zhiyong was a good executor and quickly divided his men and horses to carry the fence, while those without armor collected all the bows and arrows and prepared them in the rear.
The arrow flashed with a cold light, as if it was about to devour the lives of others at the next moment.
On the mountain not far away, the two Liu brothers stared down the mountain. Liu Chuanyi frowned and said, "Are you ready?"
"Get ready, our dead soldiers will definitely rescue the county magistrate when necessary." Liu Chuanxin continued: "According to the wishes of the eldest brother, we will also send people to prepare to burn down the lair of those horse thieves."
"This county magistrate is not an idle person." Liu Chuanyi said: "These so-called village braves have been trained by him to become real soldiers. Although it is their first time to go to the battlefield, you can see that this magistrate has aroused everyone's fighting spirit with just a few words.
."
"Brother, what you mean is that he still has a chance of winning?" Liu Chuanxin curled his lips in disbelief and said, "Brother, although those people are not regular troops, they are large in number and have cavalry."
"Eight hundred cavalry and 1,500 infantry are all men who lick blood from their swords. How can they lose to these people who are on the battlefield for the first time? Brother, you are overthinking."
Liu Chuanyi shook his head. The armor prepared by the magistrate didn't look like a decoration. Although he didn't understand it yet, it looked like this equipment wouldn't fall apart in one blow.
Of course, you must be prepared, after all, paper tigers have happened before.
Let the people of Xiami County weigh it up. The Liu family is not someone to be trifled with.
Off the field, among the horse thieves, three men on war horses were shouting with their long knives flying in their hands.
"Oh oh oh~"
"Shout~"
"Brother, let's see who kills more people."
"Competition? You look down upon the knife in my hand? The competition depends on who can cut off the county magistrate's head first."
"Eldest brother and second brother, it depends on the third brother!" The speaker was full of pride and held a spear in his hand. "The younger brother has surrendered. I haven't given the two elder brothers a certificate of surrender yet, so today I have to go to the city first.
"
The three of them advanced several hundred meters while talking and laughing, not paying any attention to the soldiers in Jiangyang in front of them.
