The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 563 The gluttonous feast
Hit the building and drink fine wine, and the sword and song are easy to water.

After Prince Yan, he was entrusted with Bingzhouer.

The young man is full of vigor and enthusiasm, and he is full of enthusiasm from time to time.

Because of the attack on Lu Goujian, do not deceive each other in the competition.

——"Youth Walk" Li Bai

……

An hour later, everyone's discussion was over, and they couldn't hide their excitement.

Shan Yunheng slammed his fist on the stone table and roared, "This battle must be fought happily, and let Shi Siming and the gang of rebels see how powerful our Heshuo heroes are!"

The leaders of the rebel army took orders to leave, and rushed back to their respective camps.

Shan Yunheng scattered all the pigeons, and ordered all the sub-villages under the command of Husi Village to return to construction quickly, with important actions.

There used to be more than [-] people in Huxi Village, except for the [-] people left in the main village, there are nearly [-] people in several sub-villages, dotted around hundreds of miles in Qinghe County.

Back then, Shan Yunheng spent all his family wealth and recruited troops in Husi Village. His reputation soon spread far and wide, and heroes from all walks of life gathered here.Especially after receiving the full support of brothers Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing, Husi Village soon became a banner of the Hebei Rebel Army.

Just as the tiger roared in the mountains and forests in Huxi village, Li E said: "Huxi village is next to Fan Yangjun's couch. We should learn from the lessons of Wagang village in the late Sui Dynasty and not become a target of public criticism."

Therefore, Li E strongly suggested that Shan Yunheng divide the Husi Village out: he selected a group of strong men who could stand on their own, and awarded them the title of village master, and asked them to develop a team in their hometown;
Each sub-village owner is equipped with a set of sub-village owner's outfit: a canonization letter of the sub-village owner, a copper seal of Huxi sub-village, a pair of Mingguang armor, a war horse, a long lance, and a Tang Hengdao. A set of military crossbow bolts.Coupled with more than a dozen brothers, you can go down the mountain.

With this Huxi sub-zhai copper seal, the sub-zhai owner can recruit village braves by himself, and draw his relatives and friends into the rebel army.

The villages are divided into dangerous places, and the mountains are kings, and the tigers occupy the mountains and forests.

The sub-villages support themselves, food and clothing, weapons and supplies, etc., either fishing, hunting and farming by themselves, or robbing them from the puppet Yan officers and soldiers.If you have the skills, you can enjoy the delicious food and drink the spicy food, but if you don’t have the skills, you just suffocate on the kang.

There is also Zhizhai under Fenzhai. Zhizhai Township Yong hides in the village on weekdays, just like the villagers, working together at sunrise and resting at sunset.Farming during the busy season and training soldiers during the off-season.

Whenever there is trouble, they will connect with each other and report to each other.

In the face of defeated rebels or bandits, Zhizhai Xiangyong organized together to defend the village with arms.Hearing that the main force of the rebel army was going to bloodbath the village, they took the whole village through the tunnel, hid in the forest, and hid in the branch village.

Since most of the rebels in the branch villages and branch villages are from the village, not only the military discipline is strict, the communication is smooth, but also the battle is fierce and desperate.If someone falls into a tight siege, Yu Xiangyong will desperately come to rescue, and will never sacrifice anyone easily.

……

Shan Yunheng himself doesn't know exactly how many people there are in Hu'an Village, but if it is a big number, there should be two to three thousand people.

Two days later, Husi village was assembled.Even Shan Yunheng himself was taken aback, smiling from ear to ear.

In less than two years, Husi Village has grown to 8000 to [-] people, not counting the Xiangyong in Zhizhai.There are about five or six hundred brothers in a branch.

Shan Yunheng walked up to a large group of sub-village owners, patted this shoulder, pinched that cheek, chattered endlessly, and yelled: "Stinky boy, you were peeing on the kang two days ago, today your men and horses hurry up!" It’s time for Master Ben.”

Hu'er's sub-villages haven't fought a big battle in the past two years, and there are small battles almost every day. Today, on the mountain road, a Yan army's convoy was ambushed; tomorrow night, they sneaked into the prefectures and counties, assassinated a fake Yan official, and stirred up the rebels in Hebei Road. .

These large and small battles not only cultivated a group of young, strong and capable green forest heroes, but also captured a large number of weapons and supplies, long spears and short spears, crossbows, crossbows, armor shields, and even large siege bed crossbows. Small catapults and other weapons for attacking and defending cities.

When mobilizing before the battle, Li E said: "With our fight, the entire Hebei Province will be in chaos, and the rebels in Bingzhou, Dingzhou, Bozhou, and Weizhou will reinforce them. Our Husi Village must be able to withstand it first, and the rebels in each state Only then can you show your talents!"

……

Just as Bai Fu and Li E expected, once the Battle of Beiku started, the entire Hebei Road was in chaos.

Hu'e Village besieged Qinghe North Bank, and people from all walks of life in Qinghe County responded one after another, scrambling to join the battle.

The Beiku rebels were attacked. Seeing that there were so many rebels, they rushed for help.The rebels from other barracks in Qinghe County rushed to reinforce them first.

In Qinghe County, apart from Huxi Village, there are also several other rebel groups, as well as some armed separatist landlords, and the strength of these teams is not bad.

Coupled with the huge number of braves from various villages, there are tens of thousands of people.

Although there is no coordinated combat mechanism between the rebel army and the armed separatist landlords, the ability to transmit pigeon letters between the rebel army is weak, and the villages and villages don't even know that Husi Village is going to attack Beiku.

But as long as the rebels come out of the barracks in front of them, they cannot be allowed to run unscrupulously on the vast plain of Hebei Road.

Especially when a small group of rebels came to reinforce them, they couldn't miss the opportunity to kill them.

As a result, all the rebels gathered in the mountains and forests of Hebei Daoxiao, the local tyrants who relied on their strong castles to separate one side, and the townspeople from small and small villages all got involved, and Hebei Dao was really messed up.

The Qingyang garrison sent hundreds of iron cavalry to Beiku for reinforcements, and they stopped after walking for more than ten miles.The commander got off his horse and took a look. He didn't know when the horses had been given laxatives. They all had diarrhea, their legs and feet were weak, and they couldn't run anymore.

The rebels in Wucheng received a reinforcement order, and as soon as they left the barracks, the iron cavalry was stopped by a horse rope and suffered a lot of damage.After finally removing all the tripping ropes, before the horse could run, it was half knocked down by the sudden rain of crossbow arrows.The rebels were in a hurry, and the soldiers divided into two wings to outflank, rushed to the ambush point of crossbow arrows, but missed again.The ambush soldiers ran away from the tunnel long ago, but no one was seen.

The rebels had no choice but to continue moving forward, fighting as they walked, being harassed by various ambushes all the way, and within twenty miles, more than half of the casualties had been lost. In desperation, they had to give up rescue and hide in the nearest rebel barracks.

The rebels stationed in Linqing sent the main force to reinforce at full speed.

The reinforcements walked in an ambush in the middle of the road, and were violently attacked by well-equipped places.

After the An Lushan Rebellion, local tyrants built castles in dangerous places and hired a large number of martial arts warriors as private followers to protect their families.

These private parts are all equipped with the regular army of the Tang army, ranging from bed crossbows, rolling wood and rocks to catapults, and excellent defense weapons.The defense system of the castle is quite complete, no less than a small city.Even the rebels generally don't provoke them easily, worrying that the gain outweighs the loss.

When these small groups of private ministries fight, their combat power is extremely strong.Based on the dangerous terrain and sophisticated weapons, they repelled many charges of the rebels.

After the fight between the Linqing rebels, the casualties were heavy, and they had to bypass the powerful landlord's territory and rush to help.

After avoiding the local tyrants, the rebels accelerated their march. After walking less than ten miles, they were harassed by Xiangyong one after another.

The weapons of the village braves are various, such as hunting forks, spears, and sharpened bamboos... What is even more frightening is that the village braves can use a large slingshot similar to a catapult to throw a hornet's nest covered in mud.

The hornet's nest fell to the ground and suddenly shattered, and the fried hornet swarm flew out like a black cloud, and rushed towards the rebels and horses.The rebels were either stung in large areas, or thrown off by frightened horses, and trampled to death by the rebellious army.

The rebels suffered more and more casualties, and the leading general had to order to leave a cavalry team to send the wounded soldiers back to the barracks.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, they were attacked by a group of bandits again, and the entire cavalry team was killed.

Although bandits also occupy the mountain as king, their military discipline is not as good as that of the rebels, and they are extremely ferocious.They robbed the horses, stripped off the clothes of the wounded soldiers, lit sky lanterns, and hung them upside down on the big banyan tree one by one, which was extremely terrifying.

Just like the migratory road, the hunting of migrating geese by birds of prey and wild beasts along the way has set off a gluttonous feast on Hebei Road.
