After more than ten days of work, the craftsmen finally repaired more than 80 sets of iron armor, 160 sets of leather armor, and more than 350 shields. In addition, they also made 200 sets of iron armor and more than 200 shields.
But the armor I made myself is actually an iron vest and a helmet. There are no other shoulder pads, arm guards, battle skirts, leg guards, or combat boots. Anyway, it can finally protect the chest.
Key parts such as the back and abdomen, as for other parts, can only wait for treatment after the war.
In fact, there is no other way. The time is so tight, it is not easy to achieve this step. At least the main force can be equipped with armor.
As early as seven days ago, the two brothers Ma Baiqi and Ma Baashi were released to serve as internal responders. Comparing the map drawn based on the brothers' dictation with the topography observed by the reconnaissance team outside Qinglang Peak, the original
They are all from Fu He, so this map should be credible.
The attack on Qinglang Peak was the militia's first long-distance attack. Although he was defeated by his own men, Shang Yi was not careless. All three deputy chief teachers went with the army. In addition to the main force, all the auxiliary regiments were dispatched.
Six more teams were mobilized, and all the new recruits were dispatched. Regardless of whether they could go into battle or not, it was good to experience the real battlefield atmosphere. This was also to quickly train them into qualified warriors.
Therefore, in this battle, the militiamen dispatched a total of more than 2,200 people. In addition, Shang Yi also used more than 150 horses and donkeys, and 50 various vehicles to prepare for the transportation of supplies in the village after the war.
At the same time, Shang Yi distributed armors and shields. The deputy chief teachers and captains of each team were each assigned a set of iron armor. The spearmen all wore iron armor or iron vests, and the broadsword team all wore leather armor.
A shield. Archers are long-range attackers and will not engage in melee combat, so they do not need armor for the time being. The remaining armor and shields will be allocated to the auxiliary regiments going into battle. As for the new recruits, each can only be given a weapon. After all, the veterans are the ones who need it.
Highly protected.
Shang Yi himself was still wearing camouflage uniforms, body armor, and a steel helmet. Although he looked out of place with the others, fortunately, the regiment soldiers gradually got used to his weird attire.
The day before launching the attack, Shang Yi gave all the regiment soldiers a day off so that they could have a good rest and recover their strength. He also sent people to the county to inform the magistrate Zheng, and invited Zhang Guangyuan, the dianshi, to inspect Wang Zhongping's army.
Set off.
The next day, Zhang Guangyuan and Wang Zhongping led a hundred officers and soldiers from the Inspection Department to join the team and set off together.
In the afternoon, the militia arrived at Jinshanping Village. Bao Tonggang's fifth team of the main regiment, Zhou Qi and Wu Hansheng's reconnaissance team, as well as two auxiliary regiments and a part of the new army, had long been stationed here, and
Be prepared to welcome the army into the village.
After entering the village, Shang Yi immediately ordered the regiment soldiers to rest, and then summoned the generals and Zhang Guangyuan and Wang Zhongping to discuss the arrangements for attacking Qinglang Peak.
The time to attack Qinglang Peak has been set early, at the third watch tonight, and brothers Ma Baiqi and Ma Baoshi have already successfully sneaked into the mountain stronghold, and had two contacts with the reconnaissance team, and also
Tell the joint soldiers the reality of the cottage.
There are now more than 2,500 people in the stronghold. Excluding the bandits' families and the injured, there are less than 1,500 truly capable bandits. And because of this defeat, many wounded soldiers have returned.
General, Lao Luotuo's prestige in the village has plummeted. Many petty bosses, including the old man who co-founded the village, dared to contradict him face to face. The position of the big boss is also in jeopardy.
This is also the reason why Lao Luotuo takes in Ma Baiqi and Ma Baishi again. The two brothers have no foundation in the village. Lao Luotuo feels that if they take in their brothers again, they can only stand on his side, so that his strength You can also add some.
After the Ma brothers learned about the militia's attack plan, they also agreed to open the east side door at midnight tonight and release the regiment's troops into the stronghold.
The bandit's cottage is located halfway up Qinglang Peak. One side is a rock wall, and the other side is a cliff about twenty feet high from the valley bottom. There are only two sides that can be attacked. The cottage has a main door and two side doors, and the terrain is considered It is relatively dangerous. If there is no internal response, it may be difficult to break into the mountain stronghold with only two thousand or so sloppy troops, and it will also cause a lot of casualties.
Based on the current situation, Shang Yi made a plan: arrange a large group of troops at the main gate, commanded by Zhao Yinghao and Huang Dongling, to pretend to attack the stronghold, attract the attention of the bandits in the stronghold, and ambush four main regiment teams at the east side gate. Under the command of Tang Zhen, they waited for the Ma brothers to open the village gate, and then rushed into the village, catching the bandits off guard. At the same time, they ambush 200 people on the roadside outside the village. Once a bandit escaped from the village, they would Perform interception.
Shang Yi personally led Zhou Qi, Wu Hansheng and twelve soldiers of the reconnaissance team to climb up from the cliff, sneak into the stronghold, set fire, create chaos, and cooperate with the troops attacking the stronghold in front.
I complained that this plan was not reported to the Ma brothers, and it was also to prevent the Ma brothers from repeating it. However, by laying out such a move, even if the Ma brothers did it again, the bandits would only strengthen the defense in front of the stronghold and attack them. The back mountain will not pay attention to it, and it can also be guaranteed that it will bloom inside the village and attack from inside and outside to break the village. Although climbing the cliff at night is quite dangerous, everyone now has full confidence in Shang Yi, and this is also the best way. Therefore, they all decided to implement Shang Yi's plan.
Qinglang Peak is fifteen miles away from Jinshanping Village, seven or eight miles of which are mountain roads. If you march at night, it will probably take more than an hour. If you want to reach the mountain village before the second watch, you should go there before the second watch. It was time to set off. So after the regiment had dinner, they took a short rest and then set off immediately.
Shang Yi and his group were the first to set off. Due to their prior experience, they arrived at the back mountain just before the watch. Moreover, during the reconnaissance, Shang Yi also lent his telescope to the regiment soldiers and observed Several mountain climbing routes and temporary hiding places after climbing to the end of the mountain. Shang Yi took out his GPS and scanned it again to confirm that there were no bandit sentries near the route. In fact, the bandits did not expect that there would be enemies at all. Climbing up from behind the cliff, this area was never defended.
After the action started, Shang Yi was the first to go up as usual. He first turned on the flashlight, found the target on the mountain, and then fired the ejection flying claw. After grabbing it, he started climbing. He also disappeared from everyone's sight. middle.
In fact, rock climbing was also a key training project for Shang Yi in later generations, because deep mountains and old forests are often hiding places for terrorists. Even if it is at night, according to the requirements of the army, it should be possible to climb a mountain like this with bare hands. What's more, there are also ejection flying claws. Therefore, Shang Yi used his hands and feet together, as fast as an ape, and quickly climbed up.
Climbing to the position of the flying claw, Shang Yi first inserted a rock wedge on the rock wall to stabilize his body, then released the flying claw, found the next target point, and ejected again. Before continuing to climb, First loosen the rock wedge and put it away, then continue climbing up.
After repeating this four or five times, Shang Yi finally climbed up the cliff, found a place on the cliff to fix the rope, then tied a flashlight on the other end and lowered the rope.
In fact, it didn't take much time for Shang Yi to climb up the cliff. It was less than half an hour. But the people waiting under the cliff were very anxious because they couldn't see Shang Yi. Now they finally saw the rope tied to the cliff. The rope of the flashlight was lowered. Knowing that Shang Yi had climbed up the cliff, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then, one by one, he followed the rope and climbed up the cliff.
In order to implement this plan, Shang Yi also conducted special rock climbing training for the soldiers of the reconnaissance team. Although it was not up to his own level, it was enough to cope with such a cliff, not to mention there were ropes. Therefore, although the soldiers experienced some There was a lot of trouble, but overall it was a very smooth climb up the cliff.
However, after everyone climbed up the mountain, the second watch passed by. In front of the mountain stronghold, there were sounds of shouting for death. It was obvious that the soldiers of the main attacking regiment had begun to take action.
Shang Yi took out his GPS and scanned it again. Sure enough, most of the bandits in the village were concentrated in front of the village for defense. The second half of the village was very empty, and there were only a few people defending it.
In order to gain the trust of Lao Luotuo, after the Ma brothers returned to the village, they told Lao Luotu that the militia would come to attack the village. Of course, this was what Shang Yi taught them. And it was precisely because of the pressure from foreign enemies that the villagers threatened Lao Luotu. The opposition forces had to temporarily restrain themselves. After all, this is a critical moment for the village, and fighting against foreign enemies is the top priority.
However, several leaders negotiated, and once the militia's attack was repelled, everyone united to attack Lao Luotuo, pull him from the position of leader, and elect a new leader.
Because they knew that the militia would attack tonight, the bandits stayed up all night and worked hard. The Ma brothers also volunteered to defend the east side gate. Old Luotuo also responded to this. Without any doubts, they were dispatched immediately. In fact, the only people that Old Luotuo could trust in the stronghold now were the two brothers. Moreover, Old Luotuo also considered that if the stronghold could no longer be defended, he would still You can escape through the east door guarded by their brothers.
At the second watch, there was indeed a large group of people holding torches and marched to the main entrance of the village, lighting up the entire front mountain. Old Luotuo couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this posture. Fifteen hundred people! Many of them were actually wearing armor. Is this a militia or a regular army?
