Chapter 60 0058 [Bandit Suppression]

The morning sun was just rising, and the rays of light like a raging fire dyed the clouds in the sky red.

The morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles.

Today, maybe not a good weather.

The experienced villagers are already preparing to harvest the wheat in the field.

It had already rained in the middle of the night a few days ago, if there was another heavy rain, the wheat in the field would probably fall down.

At that time, it will be troublesome to harvest any more, and the wheat soaked in rain will become moldy and germinate.

Although there are still a few days before the wheat is fully mature, it doesn't matter if it is a few days earlier.

There is a saying that goes well, wheat is [-]% harvested when it is [-]% ripe, and [-]% harvested when it is [-]% ripe.

Han Zhen didn't get up until after three poles in the sun.

After washing up, he came to the second courtyard and called Xiao Chong, "Go and bring Yuan Chuliu here."

Without saying a word, Xiao Chong turned around and went out the door.

Two days ago, Han Zhen ordered Ma Sangou to lead Yuan Chuliu through the secret passage he said.

After confirming that it was correct, he did not kill him.

However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. After returning, Han Zhen threw him into a lime kiln as a coolie, chiseling limestone on the mountain.

After a while, Yuan Chuliu was brought over.

"I don't know why Mr. Xiaolang called me?"

Yuan Chuliu rubbed his hands, feeling uneasy.

To be honest, he is quite satisfied with his current life. Although chiseling stones is tiring, the key is to have enough food.

Two meals a day, dry rice at night, as long as you can eat, don't waste, eat as much as you want.

This made him laugh out loud.

In the village in Songshanling, there is only one bowl of gruel for each meal, compared to the sky and the sky.

Han Zhen picked up the pancake and took a bite, and said in a casual tone, "Today I'm going to attack Songshanling, you go with me."

This guy has been in the village for three years, and he knows the layout of the village like the back of his hand, and he will be used to gather the serfs in the village after the war.

"This... I know!"

Although there were 1 reluctances in his heart, Yuan Chuliu still bit the bullet and agreed.

He knew in his heart that if he dared to say no, his life would definitely be lost.

After breakfast, Han Zhen went back to the backyard, put on the bamboo armor, and picked up the horse.

I was in a hurry last night, and the light was not good, so I didn't have time to take a closer look.

Looking at it now, I found that the handshake in the middle of the pole was wrapped with a circle of non-slip shark skin, and a copper bottle with a tiger's head was inlaid at the end.

This tiger-headed copper bottle is not just a decoration, but a counterweight to maintain the balance of the whole horse.

Han Zhen only needs to hold the position where the shark skin is wrapped with one hand, and the whole horse can be stably horizontal in the air without any force adjustment.

Many people tend to confuse a lance with a spear, the shorter one is called a spear, and the longer one is called a lance.

The length of the horse lance is generally more than three meters, and four meters is the standard configuration. The blade of the lance alone is three to five feet long.

The commonly used horse lance is not a specific kind of wood, but a composite material. The production process is extremely complicated and lengthy, and it often takes two or three years to form.

The lance made of this kind of composite material is strong and light, and at the same time has a certain degree of toughness.

The overall weight will not exceed five catties, and the cavalry can easily lift it with one hand and stab it multiple times.

The main reason why stainless steel rods are rarely used is that they are too heavy.

During horse battles, cavalry rarely have the opportunity to hold a lance with both hands. In most cases, they control the horse with one hand and hold the lance with the other.

Twenty or thirty catties doesn't sound heavy, but you only need to try to lift a three- to four-meter-long bamboo pole with one hand, and you can experience it for yourself.

At present, there are only one famous general who has recorded the use of iron horses, Yuchi Jingde.

There were many famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, and there were not a few who made good use of Ma Qiang.

Such as Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao.

But it can make Li Shimin express the emotion of "the public is accompanied by a lance, although millions of people are like me?", but only Yuchi Jingde is alone, which shows how brave he is on the battlefield with his iron lance.

Han Zhen held the lance in one hand and swung it vigorously a few times, and there was a burst of wind in the courtyard.

Nodding in satisfaction, he carried the horse and walked out.

When passing through the hanging flower gate, he happened to run into An Niang.

Seeing that he was fully armed, An Niang's moist peach eyes were full of worry: "Erlang, why are you going out again?"

After these few days of raising her, An Niang seemed to have become more and more plump, and her tunic skirt was curved by the millstone.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back."

As Han Zhen said, he reached out and patted the millstone lightly.

"Well!"

An Niang exclaimed, and hurriedly moved away with small steps, looking around guiltily.

Seeing that there was no one around, he reproached and said, "You bloody ghost, you are not afraid of being seen by others even in bright daylight."

Han Zhenman smiled indifferently: "What are you afraid of, who in the house doesn't know?"

Hearing this, An Niang said sternly: "This slave is a broken flower and a willow, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid it will ruin Erlang's reputation. Erlang is going to get married after all..."

"How come you are the same as my sister-in-law."

Han Zhen interrupted An Niang's words, waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about it, I'm going out."

……

All the way to the valley field, it didn't take long for the soldiers to come one after another.

After Zhang He inspected it, he said loudly: "There are 37 people in total, and there are actually 35 people."

Looking around the crowd, Han Zhen said loudly: "A few days ago, the bandits in Songshanling robbed us. Some people's homes were burned, some mothers and fathers were killed, and some women were ruined. Tell me, do you want revenge?"

"miss you!"

The roar sounded in the valley field.

Speaking of the bandits in Songshan Ridge, this group of soldiers immediately recalled what happened that night in their minds, and each of them was filled with anger.

"it is good!"

Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Then today, we will go to revenge. Don't worry, there are many bandits in Songshan Mountain, and you will not let you die in vain. I have contacted Changzhi County, and he will send troops to suppress the bandits. He will feign a frontal attack and help us contain the main force of the bandits."

"And what we need to face is only a few bandits. Just behead the bandit leader, and the bandits will be defeated. This time it is still the old rule, [-]% of the captured will be confiscated, and the rest will be used as a reward."

Hearing this, the soldiers were overjoyed.

Anger is anger, but they know very well that there are three to four hundred bandits alone in the cottage, and there are thousands of serfs. The difference in the number of the two sides is too great.

But now that they heard that the county would send troops to suppress the bandits, everyone suddenly felt the pressure drop.

Of course, the most important point is Han Zhen.

Now in the hearts of this group of soldiers, they feel that as long as Han Zhen is around, there is no need to be afraid.

Even in the face of an enemy that is several times stronger, he can still be outnumbered and kill the opponent crying for his mother.

"Order!"

For a while, under the double stimulation of money and hatred, the soldiers were in high spirits.

"Let's go eat first."

After the pre-war mobilization was over, Han Zhen greeted the soldiers for dinner.

After breakfast, he ordered everyone to bring some biscuits as dry food.

"set off!"

Han Zhen waved his hand.

Ma Sangou also followed among them, holding a simple knife.

Gu Song and Hou Zi also wanted to go together, but they had no choice but to keep an eye on the lime cellar and the other to work as a supervisor in the cottage, so they couldn't get away.
