Song Dynasty

Chapter 17 Huang Yun
The soldiers are still practicing mechanically repeatedly. It has to be said that this kind of drill is quite boring.

It is strange to say that at the beginning, when everyone heard that [-] bandit troops would attack this afternoon, everyone looked sad.It's just that he is afraid of Wang Shen's military law and ruthless hands, so he can only bow his head and obey his ears.But Wang Shen could still see an undercurrent of worry and fear surging in the army. No one could guarantee that when the battle started, people with ulterior motives in the army would recklessly abandon their companions and fight for the way. escape.

In modern society, Wang Shen managed a cultural company at any rate and managed a team of thirty people. Naturally, he had a good grasp of people's hearts. unstable.

It's still the same sentence he said to Lu Can on the roof of the warehouse before, you have to find some work for everyone to lead the soldiers, even if you ask them to dig out shit and do something meaningless, it will be more free than them it is good.When people are idle, their minds become chaotic.

The situation at this moment was just as Wang Shen expected, and the team was gradually tortured until they lost their temper.After all, standing on the open ground for two hours on such a hot day, even a piece of stubborn iron will be twisted into soft fingers.All of them were mechanically numb, and there was no trace of anger in their eyes, and this was exactly what Wang Shen wanted, a war machine must have the appearance of a machine.

Fortunately, today is a cloudy day, and the sky is full of dark clouds, as if it is going to rain.

There was no wind, and the air was so stuffy that it seemed to freeze.

After training soldiers with Lu Can and Gu Lie for a long time, Wang Shen finally couldn't stand it.He traveled to the Song Dynasty for a day and a night. First, he almost died of thirst, and then he was locked in the warehouse. He hadn't eaten anything seriously until now, so he told Lu Yuhou and went back to the warehouse.

In order to prepare for the upcoming battle, Lu Can and Wang Shen have already moved the common equipment and food into the warehouse in advance.The sackcloth bags in the house were piled up like above, and someone lit the stove again, cooking freshly slaughtered yellow beef.

Seeing Wang Shen coming in, a civilian husband with bad eye circles hurriedly scooped up a bowl of freshly stewed meat and handed it over.Those old and frail old men and young children in the team did not need to participate in the battle, but were all gathered in the warehouse.

There was no salt in the broth, and no seasoning at all.

Wang Shen just took a sip before being overwhelmed by the smell. He put down the bowl, leaned on a sack, and closed his eyes.He didn't sleep all day and all night, and killed so many people.Although his heart is as hard as a stone, as a modern person, he has not yet been trained to regard human life as trivial.

Eight people, eight people...

I can't be weak, can't be weak, in this cannibalistic world.I'm soft-handed, it doesn't matter if I die, but I will also implicate An Niang and her brother.

I did nothing wrong...

The stove was so hot, and my body was covered in stinky sweat. I lay here for a while, and my tears were all smoked out.But those old people and children were talking in a low voice while drinking the broth happily, and there was no look of fear in their expressions.

That is to say, from the second year of Jingkang to the present, Huaixi, as the heavy taxation land of the Song Empire, has been ravaged by wars, towns and villages have been reduced to ruins, and there are not a single person in ten.It is a very happy thing to have a bite to eat in this troubled world.Compared with the torment of hunger, war and death seem less terrible.

A voice next to him whispered: "Brother Wang, you should eat some anyway. The bandit army will come over later, if you don't eat something, how can you have the strength to fight?"

Wang Shen turned his head suddenly, and saw An Niang standing in a corner where the sacks were piled up, looking at him with concern.Next to him, Yue Yun also woke up from his drowsiness, drinking a bowl of black concoction in small sips.

Wang Shen was taken aback, and shouted in a low voice, "Why don't you leave?"

An Niang didn't speak, she just picked up the bowl of broth from the ground and blew on it in small sips.

"If you don't talk, you can't solve the problem if you don't talk. You procrastinate until now, and everyone is watching, and you can't get away even if you want to." Wang Shen's evil fire came up.When shooting Yi Jie and others last night, he said in front of more than 200 people that those who escaped, regardless of soldiers or civilians, were killed.If the siblings are allowed to leave now, the hearts of the team will be dispersed, and there is no way to continue this battle.

An Niang still did not speak, scooped up a spoonful of beef and handed it over.

Wang Shen said angrily, "I feel a little sick to my stomach, but I really can't bear it. This meat tastes like taking medicine."

"Then take medicine to cure the sickness of hunger." An Niang said in a low voice.

"Pfft!" Wang Shen broke down a bit and laughed angrily.Seeing her lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law, something soft suddenly arose in her heart.He couldn't help but squeeze An Niang's hand, and said softly: "I lost to you, you and Ying Xiang stay in the warehouse and don't go out. Don't worry, I will definitely keep you safe."

"En." An Niang wanted to shake off Wang Shen's hand, but her whole body was hot, and she couldn't pull up the strength no matter what.

Yue Yun had already finished drinking the medicine in his hand, snorted coldly, and threw the bowl on the ground: "What kind of bird medicine, it's so bitter. Talk about being a doctor, you're blowing your mind. Shameless, shameless."

Wang Shen and An Niang felt very embarrassed, especially An Niang, whose head was lowered to her chest.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a dull voice.Then, the ground under my feet seemed to become like cotton, making it difficult to stand firmly.

There was a slight fluctuation, and then, the dust was raised, and it gradually rolled into countless small particles on the ground.

"The thief, the thief... Commander Wang, the thief seems to be coming..." A soldier ran in from outside with a pale face, shouting at the top of his voice.

Wang Shen: "What seems to be coming? Yes, yes, no, no."

Before the man could answer, there was a sound of "crash", the sound of thousands of feet stepping on the ground.

It was so loud it covered everything.

Everything in front of me seems to have turned into a silent movie. Some people are running in a panic, some are shouting something with their mouths open, and some children are crying softly.

Wang Shen jumped up from the sack, rushed to the door of the warehouse, and looked forward.

In the distance, large groups of dust rose up, covering the sky and covering the earth, connecting the yellow earth and the hazy sky together.The situation was like a sandstorm suddenly breaking out in the desert on TV, rushing in like a wall, overwhelming.

The entire ground seemed to have been hit by a major earthquake, with slight undulations visible to the naked eye.

All the soldiers raised their heads at the same time and turned to the northwest sky, with no trace of blood on their faces.

Wang Shen's mind started to go numb, but he didn't know what to do for a while.Before, he also imagined the situation where the bandit army was killed, and also thought about how to deal with it.But now the whole person seems to be paralyzed, unable to do anything.

Amid all the yellow, there were a few small black dots running desperately forward in the distance. While running, they cried out with all their strength: "The bandit army, Li Yu's bandit army!" This was sent by Wang Shen in advance. Sentinels are all people with good legs and feet in the army.There were no horses in the supply camp, and the security circle could only be spread out for five miles.

The storm of dust was still rolling forward, swallowing those scouts in an instant.

There were several screams.

Then came the laughter and shouts of thousands of people from all directions.

Hearing the tragic cry, the baggage campers who had been waiting outside started to stir up. Everyone was shouting something at the top of their voices, but they couldn't hear the sound of footsteps coming out or footsteps.

Some people are randomly stringing the bow of the god arm, and some people reach out to draw the saber on their waist.Some panicked and hid behind their companions, as if as long as they hid behind others, they couldn't see the row of yellow dust in front of them, and if they closed their eyes, there would be no cliff in front of them.

Two hundred people pushed each other like crucian carp gathering in a puddle that was about to dry up.

Seeing the chaos in front of him, Wang Shen felt a chill in his heart.After training for a day and a night, before the thieves arrived, the supply battalion and the heavily armed civilian men looked like a formidable teacher.At this moment, under the tremendous pressure, there is chaos in an instant.In this way, can they still resist the bandit army?
The two soldiers retreated again and again, bumping into Wang Shen's body, causing him to stagger.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, a small hand reached out and grabbed his arm tightly.

Wang Shen looked back and saw a pair of worried bright eyes, it was An Niang.

Strange to say, when Wang Shen saw her, his heart suddenly became quiet.He slammed forward fiercely, resisting the two soldiers in front.Pulling out the horizontal knife on his waist, he shouted with all his strength: "What the hell, the thief has already been killed. If you fight, you will die. If you don't fight, you will die. Instead of this, it is better to fight. Are you still a man? You have armor on your body. With a crossbow in your hand, it’s hard to resist for a while! Don’t worry, I’m here to keep you safe. If you dare to retreat, don’t blame the knife in your hand for not recognizing anyone.”

This sound was like a spring thunder, and the overwhelming noise was suppressed by him.

All the soldiers looked back, only to see Wang Shen standing there with a sharp sword in his hand, with great confidence shining in his brows.Thinking of the ruthless method he used to kill Yi Jie, everyone felt a chill and stopped at the same time.

Lu Can also yelled: "Everyone, don't panic. After this battle is over, one person will shoot again... and then... Damn, everyone will pay for it. Raise your crossbow and shoot for me!"

Hearing the word "shot", everyone woke up like a dream, the sound of "咻咻" continued, and countless arrows flew away.The powerful sound of piercing through the air caused goosebumps to form on people's bodies.

An Niang beside her let out a low cry, let go of Wang Shen and stretched out her hands to cover her ears.

Lu Can, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, is different from the scholar in the Ming and Qing Dynasties who were inactive and indifferent. Apart from studying, he is also diligent in martial arts, and his kung fu is quite good.Ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics are the six arts of a gentleman.This can be seen from the tiger's mouth in his right hand and the knife that held Yi Jie earlier.However, he has never been on the battlefield since he joined the Huaixi Army, and he is a layman at all in cold weapon warfare.

The thief is still five to six hundred meters away from the treasury, which is beyond the range of the divine arm bow.Besides, shooting indiscriminately like this is sparse, and it is impossible to form a dense rain of fire nets and arrows in front of the formation. Later, the enemy can easily rush in with only one charge.

The development of cold weapon warfare reached its peak in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it has become a science and an art.

After the large group of crossbow arrows shot out, they landed on the open space in front of them with a "crackling" sound.But just like that, Lu Can kept yelling with red eyes: "Shoot!"

He secreted a lot of adrenal hormones, and his whole body was in a state of intense excitement.
