Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 208

The stewards gave no hope of Sun Xin's defense.

The giant horses used to stop the cavalry these days are all made of solid wood, and three or five people may not be able to move them. Only in this way can they stop the high-speed impact of the knights. From a distance, you can hardly notice it, and in the eyes of Chen Tongzhi and the stewards, it has no deterrent effect at all.

If these musketeers hid in the offensive and attacked the cavalry with high strength and deep bases, they might have survived, but they seemed to be afraid that the cavalry would not be able to hit them, so they ran to stand behind the thin barbed wire, deliberately shortening the distance. What is the difference between the distance of firefighting with the enemy and courting death?
But now that Sun Xin is in charge, everyone finds that there is no way to persuade Sun Xin, so they can only continue to make plans to escape in time if it is impossible.

After the ambush was laid, Sun Xin asked Luan Tingyu to leave the village with a few masters from Yinmachuan, and Luan Tingyu came back just after noon with a tongue.

That man was Yu Bao's four sentry cavalry, and he was terrified after being caught on Dawangzhuang.

Sun Xin didn't torture him too much. The whereabouts of Yu Baosi's team was uncertain. Even if the sentinel told him where Yu Baosi was now, it was impossible for him to catch him with more than 100 horsemen. Only by attracting Yu Baosi to the preset position can he hope to wipe out the opponent.

Sun Xin directly gave Shao Qi a letter asking him to go back and send it to Yu Baosi.

The content of the letter is very straightforward. Sun Xin said that he was too lazy to play hide-and-seek with him all over the mountains and plains, and asked Yu Baosi to fight him in Dawangzhuang.

If Yu Baosi wins, Sun Xin promises to evacuate all farmers and soldiers in Zhuangzi except Sunjiazhuang in Dengzhou, and if Yu Baosi loses, Sun Xin asks him not to step into the land he protects consciously in the future.

Sun Xin knew that the god of danger, Yu Baosi, had been active in Dengzhou for so long before he started attacking the villages protected by farmers and soldiers. He must have had prior knowledge of the forces in Dengzhou.

He will not be afraid of this peasant soldier under Sun Xin, and he must also know that the backbone force of Sun Xin's peasant soldiers is only more than 1000 people.

Now there are more than 500 farmers and soldiers gathered in Dawangzhuang. This is already half of Sun Xin's elite. Sun Jiazhuang went to defend his own Zhuangzi, but he was no longer able to stop Yu Baosi from robbing nearby villages.

And Yu Baosi doesn't have to avoid this war. Now the bandit gangs in Shandong are getting bigger and bigger. If Yu Baosi's team didn't get things in the hinterland of Shandong, how could they go all the way to Dengzhou? Come?

Further to the east, Yubao Sike has no place to go. If he wants to open up Dengzhou as his plundering area, he must touch his own land in Dengzhou.

After everything has been calculated, Sun Xin let go of the sentry and went back and waited for Yu Baosi's arrival.

That afternoon, the soldiers of the three battalions of the Protectorate Army at the east end of the village did not dare to take a break. They sat nervously on the ground and waited all afternoon, but nothing happened.

In the evening, Sun Xin came to the battlefield to have dinner with everyone.

The mood of the peasants and soldiers on the battlefield has become a little tense.

Now in the east of the village, there are at most [-] infantry against [-] cavalry. Everyone has never seen the specific effect of the barbed wire. If there is such a disparity between ordinary infantry and cavalry, the [-] infantry will definitely be defeated.

And now they are all placed in front of the barbed wire to attract the enemy to attack. If they are really defeated, they don't even have the same chance to retreat to the village and fight and escape like the second company stationed at Dawangzhuang at that time. At least half of them will be stepped on by the cavalry. died under.

Everyone didn’t feel anything when they first entered the camp, but after thinking about it for a long enough time, many people would inevitably feel that they were put here by Sun Xin as a living target. , At this time, someone had already made a fuss and ran back.

Sun Xin also expected this kind of situation, but he had to put the soldiers in front of the barbed wire to be prepared, otherwise what would happen if Yu Baosi suddenly attacked and saw everyone nervous.

Sun Xin deliberately said a lot of witty words to let everyone relax.Then he promised himself that he would sit in town at the intersection of Dongtou in the village, and as long as his Sun Zi banner did not fall, his Sun Zhuangzhu would still be there.

These words finally dispelled some people's fear of being thrown in front of the formation by Sun Xin as bait. After all, Sun Xin was also sitting a few hundred paces behind them. But Sun Xin was not able to escape so quickly.

Zhao Qi, the acting company commander of the third battalion and the second company, his eyes lit up, he stood up abruptly and said to his thirty subordinates: "Listen to the owner! Shame! The owner is with us, don't be afraid!"

Sun Xin put his hips on his hips and said with a leader-like expression: "It is for this reason that the muskets in our hands and the protective barbed wire are both first-class magical weapons. What's the difficulty in dealing with those horse bandits?"

Zhao Qi said to the crowd again: "Yes, I fought that horse bandit head-on, and I didn't see how powerful it was. Thirty or so of us blocked the attack of more than 200 of them. Now there are two or three people on the road. Brother Bai, wouldn't it be easy to eat him instead? Yes, we will follow the owner's arrangement when we start a war later, and we will remember where the owner said to shoot and which way to act! "

As Zhao Qi was speaking, he suddenly stripped off half of his clothes, revealing a wound on his shoulder that was wrapped in a bandage.This is the mark left by the enemy's saber in the battle the day before yesterday.

Pointing to the wound, he twisted his arm without fear, indicating that everyone was not seriously injured, and said with a smile: "Brothers, look, those horse bandits are beggars and thieves. If you chop it up, you won’t see me hacked to death, if it’s replaced by the weapon made by brother Tang Long, won’t this knife take off half of my arm?”

This personal statement finally boosted the morale among the peasants and soldiers.

After Sun Xin said a few more nasty jokes, there was gradually laughter on the originally dull position.

Sun Xin was finally satisfied, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Qi who was about to come.

After Sun Xin withdrew from the position with the Huotou army, a platoon leader of the second company ran over and smiled at Zhao Qi: "Brother Qi, why did you suddenly become so eloquent today?"

He was also the old platoon leader of the second company, maybe ten years older than Zhao Qi, and even joined the protection army earlier than Zhao Qi, but now that Zhao Qisheng is the acting company commander, he naturally calls him Seventh Brother .

The reasoning is not entirely out of flattery, the key is that everyone who is the commander of Zhao Qi's second company is convinced.

Musketeers were not equipped with long weapons, and had only long guns with bayonets added to resist when encountering horse troops advancing forward, and had almost no possibility of fighting back when encountering maneuverable horse troops.

The reason why Zhao Qi was promoted to acting company commander by FireWire was because in the battle the day before yesterday, with his excellent skills, he picked up two horse bandits with a bayonet and musket less than 1.5 meters in length. Slightly injured, this kind of fighting power is first-class in the protection army.In the army, force is the most respected. Zhao Qi showed such skill and bravery, and everyone naturally admired him.
