Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 948
"Old man, this group of guys are using the style of the army!"

The fight started over there, and a group of people from the Xiao family who were watching the excitement on the street began to discuss there. They stood in the crowd of idlers, but the outer circle was separated by strong men. The people on the street saw Even if you don't recognize Xie Bai and Xie Chengen with this posture, you will consciously stay away from it.

There are a few people standing in the circle, one of them has a red face and white beard, and looks quite old, and the other is a big man with a red face, who looks quite similar to the old man with white beard, but there is a middle-aged man in his 40s beside them. , with gloomy faces, these three people have one thing in common, that is, they look rich.

The white-bearded old man and the big man are naturally the father and son of the Qi family, but the middle-aged man is the Liu Dongyang mentioned by Jin Yiwei, and he was the one who spoke just now.

"My sons and daughters have also ordered in advance, but it can't be done, if we disperse, we won't be able to gather together!"

"They're all too indulgent. They haven't touched a knife in three years. Everyone is slack!"

The white-bearded old man hummed, and the face of Cheng En next to him turned red, but the red face didn't show anything, he just said in a muffled voice:

"Please rest assured, father, the child must be strictly controlled!"

When Wang Tong rushed out, it was still yesterday's tactic, but instead of the first team, the two teams joined the battle and rushed in. The servants of the Xiao family also had yesterday's experience. Just spread out and let the opponent hit an empty space.

After Naihe dispersed, their strength also dispersed at once. It is not easy to gather quickly. The best thing to do is to use soldiers to gather and disperse as usual, but to achieve this level requires strict training. Discipline is also lax, but this is impossible.

They couldn't do it, but it was very easy for the Huwei army. The results of Wang Tong's personal guard's formation training were revealed at this time, and they were immediately divided into two teams, rushing towards the intercepted enemy.

The members of the Qi family were scattered, and Wang Tong had a basic formation. Although the number of the two sides was about the same, in the narrow area where the two sides were facing each other, the number of Jin Yiwei was far more than that of the Qi family, let alone the Qi family. The quality of individual soldiers is not as good as that of Wang Tong's personal guards. As soon as they encounter someone, they will be knocked down and stepped on.

Someone was knocked down, and the number of people decreased. Originally, the number of the two sides was about the same. After Wang Tong's personal guard quickly established the advantage in numbers, he quickly expanded the advantage and established the victory.

The faces of the father and son of the Qi family were quite ugly. After winning for half a year, it was so embarrassing to lose at this moment. Liu Dongyang turned his head and glanced at the faces of the father and son of the Qi family, but laughed twice, and said disdainfully:

"The fanzi suddenly got excited, but there are only a hundred or so of them, so what's the use, maybe they are boxing masters hired from outside. They came here specially to fight against the old man and your lord. I have a way."

He didn't say anything, but he just grabbed one of his subordinates and whispered a few words, but that subordinate ran into the crowd, and now there were not many people standing in the field, so he still knew that his general was watching from the sidelines, Don't dare to slack off, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have run away and played dead, and I really can't beat it.

"What kind of skill is fisting and kicking? Can that thing kill the enemy on the battlefield? If you have the ability, let's see it with real swords and guns. Don't be afraid, and we won't bully you. How about everyone holding long and short wooden sticks? Anyone who dares to come here has no eggs!!"

The scene is so embarrassing, it is really shameless to say this, but the left and right are already like this, so it’s okay to say, Wang Tong whispered something behind Han Gang, and Han Gang also said at the top of his throat:

"Look at the bears in this place, who doesn't have eggs, can't you tell, well, see you at Tianshuijing at noon tomorrow!"

It's settled. After Han Gang said this, some idlers actually laughed out loud. This was the first time. Although he shut up immediately, the faces of the father and son of the Qi family became even uglier, and they turned their heads and walked away.

Waiting for all the family members on the ground to leave in embarrassment, Wang Tong and the others returned to the yamen, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"Don't make any dishes for dinner, beef and mutton, bread."

The other side agreed to do it quickly. Although these two things taste monotonous, they are real food, which can best replenish strength. Continuous fighting also consumes physical energy.

The guards were all young, and they were not tired from the fights, they were still excited, everyone dispersed and Wang Tong went to the main hall, but Shi Qi came up and said in a low voice:
"Master Hou, it seems that Liu Dongyang came up with an idea."

Wang Tong nodded and said:
"From the beginning to the end, it was Liu Dongyang who talked a lot and did a lot, but the father and son of the Qi family didn't take much action. Discuss with Liu Jilin and focus on inquiring about this Liu Dongyang. The key to this matter may lie with him. body."

Shi Qi quickly agreed, but by coincidence, just as he turned to leave, Liu Jilin walked in. Naturally, it would not be at this time to discuss things, so Shi Qi said hello and left first.

"Dutang, Tianshuijing is the center of Ningxia City. What if the Xiao family suddenly mobilizes people here on a whim? The safety of Dutang is of the utmost importance, and you must not take any risks yourself."

Wang Tong picked up his teacup and took a sip, then asked calmly:
"How much power can be used inside and outside the city of Qijia, have you checked the exact number?"

"There are 100 people in total, 400 of them are in Baozi in the north, and the rest are in Ningxia defender Huamachi."

Liu Jilin did a good job, Wang Tong pondered for a while, and said with a smile:

"One thousand and one hundred people are absolutely sure against our 100 people."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong gave a rare pass, paused, and said with a smile:

"Tomorrow, he probably won't be able to keep so many people in the city."

************
The Botan tribe is a tribe with only more than 2000 people. The leader of this tribe, Botan Dut, is a very thoughtful character. In fact, the Botan tribe is not a Mongolian tribe. Strictly speaking, they are closer to the Hui tribe. But the thousands of miles of grassland, even to the extreme north and the extreme west, are ruled by the Mongolian Khan, and there is no harm in claiming to be a Mongolian tribe.

The tribes on the grassland live by water and grass, but the Botan tribe is weak. If they stay in one place for a long time, they can easily be swallowed up by big tribes and powerful forces. But Botandute led the tribe to start on the grassland. The merchant's business.

The action of a tribe, whether it is big or small, is very safe to walk on the grassland. Anyway, they are nomadic. If they trade goods from Daming to the Western Regions in exchange for food, the tribe can also benefit a lot. He Le No, but these few months have been different.

Originally, the Botan tribe bought the goods in Yulin and planned to return, but they did not expect that Huamachi would sell salt at a low price. Botan Dute also bought salt there, but when he asked about the price this time, he was shocked. In a blink of an eye, the price of salt is almost a free gift. Botandute has been doing business for so many years, and he understands the calculations. He quickly sells the goods in his hand, then buys all the salt, and sells it to the west. The profit is extremely amazing.

He did this once, and even though it took three months to go back and forth, the profit he could get was what he could only earn in the past two years, which is really touching.

The Han people celebrated the New Year, and the Mongols also celebrated the New Year. The Botan tribe called themselves a Mongolian tribe, but they didn’t have this habit. They came in the twelfth lunar month, bought salt and prepared to leave on New Year’s Eve.

However, the steward of Yanchi was very generous and negotiated with Bo Tandu, explaining that the old man of Mianqian was going to do a big job. If they could stay and help, they could take the salt here for a month at will, and the Huamachi area Let it graze.

Taking salt for nothing for a month is a benefit that falls from the sky. The Huamachi area is also a rare land with abundant water and grass. This benefit is great. Botandute is not stupid. I inquired about it in private and found out that the big and small tribes got this promise. There are quite a few people here, which reassures him.

But the money in front of him must be earned. Botandute still wants to transport the salt back to sell first, and then hurry back. The people in Huamachi seem to be clear that the carriages and horses will be sold, yes There is no point of view in Botandut's approach.

That is, on New Year’s Eve, Botandute’s team set foot on the return journey. There is salt in Huamachi. Salt is the lifeblood of every tribe in the grassland. If you walk on the grassland for a month and don’t see a single person There are, but in Huamachi, there are various tribes, large and small, and various caravans.

On the road to Huamachi, there are often people traveling with them, which is not surprising. It is a small caravan traveling with Botan's troops, that is, dozens of people, so it must be more at ease to follow the large group.

We set off at noon, and after walking for half a day, we had to set up camp and rest when it was dark. The tent was pitched here, and a place was enclosed by ourselves over there, and we started to light a fire for cooking. As a result, we were in a hurry when making the fire. The team was upwind again, and all the smoke drifted into the camp of Botan's troops. People and livestock were smoked and made a fuss.

The people here went to theories, and found that the small caravan not only lit a fire, but many fires came to this side with smoke, and it would be very troublesome to extinguish it. It would be troublesome if it started on the grassland. .

But what was unexpected was that although the fire was left unattended, the surrounding vegetation had been cleared so that it would not spread. Then the people from Botan's department found in the smoke that there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance.

It's not dark yet, but the tents have been pitched, and the camels and oxen have been unloaded, so it may be too late to leave.

With a population of more than 2000, those who can mount their horses to fight can still pull out more than 1000 people. The number of enemies who come over after the smoke clears is only more than 700, which is far less than the number of Botan's troops.

But as soon as the battle started, Botan's troops were shot down by bows and arrows, and then they were scattered. The enemies who came over were not herdsmen, but professional soldiers on the grassland. Botan was shot a few times. After falling to the ground, I understood this truth.

"Did the person who called for help go away? Well, kill all the rest, kill them all!!"

The assailant with a cloth covering his face ordered loudly——
Thank you, thank you
