Chapter 124 0121 [Dare to Blaze Army]

Han Zhen looked as usual, and ordered: "Call him in."

After a while, a soldier came in.

The person who came was Yu Jun. After the army expanded some time ago, he was promoted to team leader because of his outstanding performance.

He was sent by Han Zhen to guard the caravan two days ago.

Han Zhen said, "What happened, let me tell you in detail."

Yu Jun clasped his fists and said, "Report to the county magistrate, after I arrived in Qiancheng County the day before yesterday, I was supposed to come back the next day, but the pig iron has not arrived, and Zhu Yuanwai decided to wait another day. Who would have thought that the Chi army suddenly attacked last night, When it was dawn, Wudu saw that the situation was not good, so he took the initiative to break through and asked me to report back."

Han Zhen nodded secretly in his heart, Xiao Wu's judgment was correct, breaking out and reporting the letter was right.

Now Zhao Ting clearly only wants to defend Yidu County, as for the life and death of other counties and towns, he doesn't care at all.

It is even more impossible for Zizhou next door to send troops to help, because Li Heihu of Jinan Prefecture is now very powerful. Once he sends troops, even Zizhou will not be allowed to fall.

"How many people are there in the Dare Army?"

"No less than six thousand!"

Han Zhen asked again: "How many guards are there in the county?"

Yu Jun replied: "Archers, yamen servants, and the local braves recruited, there are more than 600 people, plus ten small teams such as me."

Hearing this, Han Zhen fell into deep thought.

There is a saying in the art of war, ten rules surround it.

There are nearly [-] garrisons in Qiancheng County, and it is almost impossible for the [-] Ganchi Army to break through the county.

Even if Zhang Wanxian sent reinforcements, they would not be able to attack for a while.

Seeing this, Yu Jun said anxiously: "County magistrate, let's rush to help. According to the magistrate of Qiancheng County, there are [-] Ganchi troops. If we continue to delay, the county will definitely be breached as soon as their reinforcements arrive."

Han Zhen glanced at him, and said coldly: "You said that the Ganchi Army has [-] soldiers. After I send troops, what if Zhang Wanxian sends troops to attack Linzi County?"

"This... is the future will not think carefully."

Yu Jun scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

He really didn't think of this layer.

Afterwards, he boldly asked: "County magistrate, can Qiancheng County be saved?"

"save!"

Han Zhen said categorically.

Qiancheng County must be saved. In addition to the caravan and the soldiers of the twelve teams, there are also [-] shi of grain, thousands of jin of pig iron and other supplies.

Han Zhen asked: "How about the equipment of the Five Thousand Ganchi Army? How about the horses?"

"Except for a few bandit leaders wearing leather armor, the rest are almost the same as those wearing scarves. They have a variety of weapons, most of which are simple knives and hatchets, and some even hold sharpened bamboo poles. There are no war horses, but there are hundreds of bad horses and bad horses. Come on.” Yu Jun recalled.

Speaking of it, I have to thank those corrupt officials for stealing all the funds allocated to the arsenals of various counties and towns.

As a result, there was only a pile of tatters left in the arsenals of the counties. Even if these rebels captured the county, they would not be able to find any good weapons.

Han Zhen got up and said, "You go back to the barracks first, and I will order Nie Dong to reorganize the army!"

"Order!"

Yu Jun clasped his fists in response and left in a hurry.

After giving some tasks to the scribes, Han Zhen stepped out of the thin hall.

As soon as he walked out of the Bo hall, he bumped into Chang Zhixian who hurried over.

He also got the news, and now he asked anxiously, "How is Han Erlang doing?"

Changzhi County was entangled in his heart, wanting to save his brother-in-law, but he was also afraid that as soon as Han Zhen left, the dare-chi army would call him.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements!"

After Han Zhen gave a word of comfort, he hurried out of the county office.

Looking at his leaving back, Chang Zhixian felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

As an official of the court, he was repeatedly protected by a rebel bandit.

It's really unpredictable!

Quickly returning to his own courtyard, the butler in the concierge immediately stood up and said, "Ah Lang."

"Lead my war horse!"

Leaving this sentence behind, Han Zhen walked through the vertical flower gate and came all the way to the backyard.

In the backyard, Mrs. Han Zhang and her maid were sitting under the shade of a tree, sewing clothes.

The moisturization of the past few days has made her look more hydrated.

The skin is white and rosy, as if it will be soaked with water if you pinch it lightly.

The whole person exudes the unique style of a young woman, coupled with the innocence between the brows, pure and lustful.

Seeing Han Zhen coming back in a hurry, Han Zhang stopped his movements and asked curiously, "Why did Erlang come back so early today?"

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded and stepped into the back room.

Seeing this scene, Han Zhang immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

Putting down her needlework, she quickly followed into the main room.

In the room, Han Zhen was putting bamboo armor on his body.

Biting her lips lightly, Han Zhang said with a worried expression, "Is Erlang going out again?"

"Well, Run Niang stay at home with peace of mind, I will come back as soon as I go!"

Han Zhen quickly put on the bamboo armor, and then picked up the black horse.

Han Zhang wanted to persuade her, but she knew her uncle's temperament, so she could only tell him: "Erlang must take care!"

"I will."

Leaving this sentence behind, Han Zhen left in a hurry.

The housekeeper had already brought his war horse, and after getting on the horse, he left the county town and galloped towards the barracks.

In the barracks, Nie Dong has finished reorganizing the army.

More than 36 infantry, plus [-] cavalry, stood fully armed on the school field.

Seeing Han Zhen galloping towards him, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Riding on the horse, Han Zhen condescendingly ordered: "Zhang He!"

"The end is here!"

Zhang He immediately stepped forward and responded loudly.

"I am ordering you to lead the infantry to garrison the county seat and close the city gate. Before I come back, if the county seat is breached by thieves, you can only ask me!"

"Order!"

Zhang He roared, feeling his heart surge.

When Zhang He left with more than 520 infantry, Han Zhen looked at the cavalry.

Among the 36 cavalrymen, except for the [-] Western troops including Nie Dong, the rest were all elites selected from the army.

All of them are strong and strong.

Although the monthly salary is the same, the weapons used are the best.

Whenever the blacksmith shop in Xiaowang Village forges weapons, it always follows the cavalry first, and then the infantry.

Even wearing bamboo armor, she exudes a sturdy aura.

Looking around, Han Zhen said slowly: "Right now the caravan and more than 100 brothers are trapped in Qiancheng County, and there are [-] enemies. Do you dare to follow me to help?"

36 and five thousand!

The difference in quantity is more than a hundred times.

"dare!"

The 36 people roared in unison.

The huge roar echoed in the barracks, startling the birds and beasts in the mountain to run around.

Nie Dong's face was flushed at the moment, and he felt his blood boiling all over.

Here we come, here we come, the opportunity to defeat ten thousand enemies with a hundred riders is finally here!
"it is good!"

Han Zhen nodded in satisfaction, and then smiled contemptuously: "The enemy army is a group of peasants who were still carrying hoes a few days ago. They have no armor or crossbow. All you need to do is follow me to fight the enemy, understand?"

"understand!"

The cavalry roared again.

"Attack!"

Han Zhen reined in the reins, turned the horse's head, and left the barracks first.

Qiancheng County is less than a hundred miles away from Linzi County. Since Zhang Wanxian can fight Qiancheng, it means that he can also fight Linzi.

This is why Han Zhen worried that the Ganchi Army might take the opportunity to attack Linzi.

On the official road, nearly a hundred horses galloped past, rolling up bursts of loess along the way.

In ancient times, the speed of cavalry raids was not as fast as imagined. If one person rode two and changed horses in turn, they could travel up to [-] miles a day and night.

It's just that after running three hundred miles in a day and night, the war horse was basically useless.

"New Book of Tang Su Dingfang Biography": Dingfang selects thousands of elite soldiers, rides three thousand horses to attack him, and rides three hundred miles day and night to his place.Duman was frightened and had nothing to fight, so he was defeated and left to protect the city.

Because the cavalry has a load, how can a cavalry weigh 150 catties, including armor, weapons, dry food, etc., at least two hundred catties.

Under normal circumstances, it is the limit of a war horse to run twenty miles an hour with cavalry on its back.

No matter how fast it is, the war horse will not be able to bear it.

And every hour, you need to stop, let the horse rest for a while, and feed some refined grains and salt water to replenish your strength.

Even so, the cavalry could not fight immediately after arriving at the destination.

A few days ago, during the battle outside Licheng County, the elite Xingde army led by Xing Wanli was defeated so quickly because they did not have enough time to rest and rushed to the battle after the hasty march.

Not only are the soldiers weak, but the horses are also weak, and they can't even run, so how can they charge?

Is there a way to let the cavalry be able to fight immediately after they arrive at the battlefield?
Have!
Just like Han Zhen, one man and three horses.

A war horse, a pack horse, and a walking horse.

When marching, ride a walking horse, and put all the luggage such as bamboo armor and weapons on the pack horse, and the war horse does not bear the weight.

When approaching the battlefield, you can fight immediately with armor and soldiers, and riding a horse.

War horses are hard to come by, but there is no shortage of walking horses and pack horses. As long as you have money, let alone hundreds of horses, you can buy tens of thousands of them.

They set off at [-] o'clock in the morning, and when they approached Qiancheng County, it was already evening.

……

……

The setting sun was like blood, coating the already tragic battlefield with a layer of blood.

"Kill!"

"Kill the dog officer, steal money and food!"

"Hold it, hold it!"

"Du Tou, the arrows are used up!"

Shouts, howls, roars... Countless sounds mixed together and echoed above the county town.

The ordnance of the Ganchi Army is very poor, but the archers who guard the city are not much better.

The arsenal in the county has long been dilapidated, and none of the available weapons exist, so that many village braves have water and fire sticks in one hand and kitchen knives in the other.

The twelve squads led by Xiao Wu became the main force for defending the city.

After all, Qiancheng County is a small county with only two gates, the east and the west. After dividing the troops, they can barely hold it.

At this moment, Xiao Wu is leading [-] teams of soldiers, plus [-] soldiers from No. [-] to guard the east gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy impact echoed in everyone's ears.

At the gate of the city, dozens of dare-chi soldiers carried a thick log wrapped in iron and kept bumping into the gate.

The two city gates were dented inwards, if it wasn't for the heavy gates behind the gates, the gates would have been knocked down.

At the same time, dare chi soldiers continued to climb up the wooden ladder.

Suddenly, a dare-chi soldier climbed up swiftly, and slashed fiercely on the neck of a Xiangyong with a simple knife in his hand.

"what!!!"

Xiang Yong clutched his neck and let out a shrill howl.

Blood spurted on his face, and the soldier let out a grin, like a bloodthirsty beast.

At this time, a big foot kicked.

This kick was so powerful that it directly fell the soldiers of the Ganchi Army from the city wall.

boom!
Falling from the five-meter-high city wall, the soldier survived for a while, his right leg was twisted at a strange angle.

Bleeding from his mouth and nose, he let out bursts of wailing.

This scene is just a microcosm of the entire battlefield.

On the tower, Xiao Wu killed a Ganchi army with a single blow, and shouted loudly: "Chen Dutou, have the arrows been delivered?"

Hearing this, Chen Dutou smiled bitterly: "There are no more arrows, there are only so many in the arsenal, and they will be gone when they are used up!"

He is the head of Qiancheng County, leading Xiangyong to assist Xiaowu in defending the city.

Xiao Wu cursed angrily: "Damn it, these dog officials only care about money!"

How can he not be angry that there are only less than [-] arrows in a county.

At this time, a soldier shouted: "Wudutou, the stone is gone!"

While talking, more than a dozen brave soldiers climbed up the city wall.

Xiao Wu rushed forward with the saber in hand, relying on the bamboo armor on his body, he slashed with the Phoenix-eyed saber in his hand.

After dealing with the dare-chi soldiers who rushed forward, he shouted, "Where's the golden juice? Is it ready?"

"OK OK!"

Xiangyong, who was in charge of boiling the golden juice at the back, responded repeatedly.

Xiao Wu greeted: "Hurry up and push!"

The next moment, five small carts with large vats were pushed to the edge of the city wall, and fell towards the Ganchi Army on the wooden ladder below.

Golden juice is feces, urine and excrement. After this stuff is boiled, it can burn people's skin to pieces.

Moreover, the golden juice is full of bacteria and germs. In the current era of backward medical conditions, once it is drenched in golden juice, it will undoubtedly die.

"Ahhhh!!!"

As the golden juice poured out, there were bursts of painful howls from under the city wall.

After a round of golden juice was poured, taking advantage of this gap, the dare-chi army below launched another offensive.

The stones, arrows, and even the golden juice were all used up. Right now, they could only watch the enemy climb up and engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

"Brothers, hold on!"

With a cry of encouragement, Xiao Wu raised his knife and rushed towards a brave soldier.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, a rush of horseshoes came from afar.

Xiao Wu was taken aback for a moment.

Then, at the end of the official road in the distance, 37 cavalry rushed out.

The leader is tall and tall, holding a horse lance, and the five armor-piercing swords behind him reflect bursts of cold light under the setting sun.

"The county magistrate is here!"
