Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 60 Old Man Chen's Command

Seeing Liu Hong's face was cloudy and uncertain, Guo Zhen and others felt trembling, not knowing what this Qianhu was thinking.

There were also people who regretted that although their training on the mountain was hard, their life was worry-free, and they didn't want to deal with the military master fearfully even after being beaten.

Liu Hong thought for a while, and felt that he should not act rashly, so he had better find out the situation first.

"Come on! Take them down for safekeeping." Liu Hong said.

"My lord, we are really here to surrender! Please learn from me!" Guo Zhen and others shouted.

Liu Hong waved his hand, several soldiers came up and took Guo Zhen and others down.

"My lord, what should we do now? Do you want to kill them? It is also a credit to report it." A soldier asked.

"Hehe, don't worry. Could they still run away?" Liu Hong laughed.

. .

Li Jing arranged the people properly, took Chen Erhu and others, took a shortcut and went straight to Nancun.

Seeing Li Jing's stern expression, everyone didn't dare to ask more questions, but just ran forward silently following Li Jing.

But these people hardly rested that night, from Hongshanling to Linqi, and then from Linqi to Qi County.After walking hundreds of miles overnight, their physical strength was limited, and some people gradually fell down.

Seeing that everyone couldn't hold on, Li Jing also knew that even if he arrived, it would be useless, so he immediately ordered everyone to rest.

After resting for about half an hour, Li Jing ordered everyone to get up and hurry.

Everyone rested for a while, and their physical strength recovered. After listening to the order, they hurriedly got up.

Nancun Wanbai Mountain.

An unnamed valley.

After a night of trekking, the villagers finally arrived at the destination arranged by Li Jing.

After resting for a while and eating something, the sky was getting brighter. Shen Zheng and old man Chen started cutting wood with all the villagers, preparing to build some simple wooden houses to keep out the cold for a long time.

The villagers also know that in this situation, they must work hard to tide over the difficulties together. Therefore, regardless of gender, regardless of age, they all work hard. Although the weather is cold, nearly a thousand people work at the same time, and the effect is obvious.

When the sky was bright, dozens of simple wooden houses had already been built.

The folks were working hard, and suddenly there was a burst of shouting from outside the valley.

Old man Chen and the others were taken aback for a moment, not knowing what had happened, they put down their work one after another, and prepared to go to Taniguchi to find out what happened.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the valley entrance, he was stopped by Chen Dahu's subordinates and ordered them not to approach. The old man Chen was shocked, knowing that he either encountered bandits or officers and soldiers had arrived.

Old man Chen stepped forward quickly, most of Uncle Chen's subordinates were old brothers from Jinniuling, and they were trained by old man Chen in the past.

Old man Chen beckoned, called someone and asked, "What happened?"

The man didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "Uncle, hundreds of officers and soldiers have come from outside the valley. Brother Da Hu and his brothers are defending against the enemy at the entrance of the valley. Because they are afraid that the random arrows will hurt the villagers, they sent us here to stop the villagers."

"You bastard! You only have about twenty people, how can you stop hundreds of officers and soldiers? If the officers and soldiers attack, why don't we let us wait here to die?" Old Man Chen cursed.

After a pause, the old man Chen shouted to the man: "This is the critical moment, one more person will give more strength. You wait to help, and I will take care of it here."

"Yes!" The man was already in a hurry, and he quickly ran to the valley entrance under the orders of old man Chen.

"Don't panic! Be careful of random arrows!" Old man Chen shouted anxiously from behind.

After the man left, Old Man Chen shouted: "Masters, the officers and soldiers are numerous. Once Du Hu and the others are unable to resist the enemy, we will definitely have no way out. Those who can still hold knives and guns, and those who don't want to wait for death, Follow the old man to help out."

Many of these people were formerly bandits, and because they were a little too old, Li Jing arranged them to do some farm work under Shen Zheng and old man Chen.

Hearing old man Chen's yell, several people stood up immediately, and one of them shouted: "Brother, you can hold a knife and gun, can't I wait? For the sake of our family, without saying anything, with those bastards We fought!"

These few people took the lead, and dozens of people in the crowd stood up, and everyone shouted: "That's right, we fought with those bastards today, anyway, our lives are given by the head of the family. Repay the kindness of the master."

"Okay! Zhao Shuangxi, take out all the knives, guns and other weapons you stored there." Old man Chen shouted.

"Yes!" Zhao Shuangxi hurriedly replied.

After a while, Zhao Shuangxi returned with more than thirty people, each carrying a bundle of weapons.Among them, shields, bows and arrows, knives and guns are all available.

Old man Chen was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately shouted: "Pick up the ones that are easy for you, and use bows and arrows if you know how to use bows and arrows."

Old man Chen had been a team officer on the mountain for several months, he had a sense of dignity, and everyone knew that this was a critical moment, so he listened to old man Chen's order and hurriedly searched for the weapon he had in hand.

It's just that although these people were bandits before, they had never been trained, and the weapons they chose were ridiculous. Many of them clearly held long spears in both hands, but they still had to wear shields.

Old man Chen, seeing that everyone was in a hurry, shouted hastily: "The one with the knife stands at the front with the shield, the one with the gun stands behind the shield, and the one with the bow stands at the end."

Although these people have not been trained, they have seen others train after arriving on the mountain. After hearing Old Man Chen's call, they immediately knew that they were impatient.

Thinking about the training of others, after a while of fussing, these people finally knew whether the weapons they held should stand in front or behind.

Seeing that these people couldn't stand in any formation, old man Chen was also helpless, so he could only say: "Everyone follow me, divide into three rows with shields, spears and bows, and line up one by one."

This is the simplest queue, and everyone has seen it before. Dozens of people quickly divided into three lines and stood up.

"Don't worry, follow me, walk slowly, don't mess up the formation. I take a step and you take a step, whichever foot I take, you follow whichever foot!" Chen old man said.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in confusion.

"Let's go!" Old man Chen shouted, and started to walk forward.

Everyone behind them watched Old Man Chen's steps carefully, and those who couldn't see Old Man Chen's steps could only look at the steps of the person in front of them.

A few hundred steps is short, but old man Chen walked for a long time.

When they reached the last few dozen steps, the pace of these people began to unify.

Seeing Chen Dahu shooting at the officers and soldiers according to Taniguchi, the old man Chen nodded, knowing that his son still knew the seriousness, so he did not recklessly fight with the officers and soldiers.

With a wave of his hand, Old Man Chen ordered everyone behind him to stop, and then came to Taniguchi alone.

Arriving at Taniguchi, I saw that the officers and soldiers were only fifty steps away from Taniguchi, and the shield soldiers in front were holding shields to cover the soldiers behind them slowly approaching Taniguchi.

However, Chen Dahu and others took advantage of the favorable terrain. Although they shot and wounded a few soldiers, due to the small number of them, there were only four or five who could use bows and arrows. Therefore, the threat to the officers and soldiers was really too small. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to attack .

After reading it, old man Chen knew that Taniguchi would not be able to defend Dughu's style of play.

"Dahu, abandon Taniguchi and line up behind me!" Old Man Chen shouted hastily.

Seeing that his old man was coming, Chen Dahu didn't dare to disobey his orders, he ordered everyone to shoot a few arrows, and hurriedly helped several injured brothers to run behind Old Chen.

These twenty or so people have been trained for more than half a year, they are regarded as the elite of the bandits, and they can tell the old man Chen's intentions with just one glance.

As for the queue, I was very familiar with it, and quickly found my place in the middle.

In fact, old man Chen also knew that without Chen Dahu and others as the backbone, I am afraid that after a face-to-face meeting, most of these people behind him would fall down.

But with these people's exemplary role, the rest of the people only need to follow suit, and they can catch the officers and soldiers by surprise.

"Listen to my orders and don't move!" Old Man Chen raised his hand.

"Yes!" Chen Dahu and others responded loudly.

"Shields in the front row, guns in the middle row, and bows in the back row!" Old Man Chen shouted.

After listening to old man Chen's order, Chen Dahu and others immediately made preparations according to the password.

The rest of the people were not so proficient. They either held up their shields high or put them in front of them. As for those holding guns, it was even more interesting. Some even stood their guns up beside them.Fortunately, there were Chen Dahu and others acting as an example, and they knew what they were doing was wrong, so they immediately followed the example.

"Forward!" Seeing that everyone was getting ready, old man Chen continued to shout.

"Left!" Chen Dahu answered, and everyone stepped forward with their left foot.

"Right!" Chen Dahu said again.

. .

Dozens of steps are very short, but at the moment of life and death, these people's reactions were unexpectedly quick. Under Chen Dahu's shout, this group of people actually formed a very neat queue.

When Chen Dahu and others reached the valley entrance, the officers and soldiers finally arrived.

The officers and soldiers have been advancing cautiously. Although Chen Dahu and others suddenly withdrew, these people still did not rush forward.

In some respects, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were indeed good, but unfortunately, most of the officers who led the army did not know how to adapt.

If the officers and soldiers launched an assault when Chen Dahu and the others were retreating, they might be able to rush into the valley without waiting for Chen Dahu to line up his formation.

In fact, the old man Chen was very clear about the actions of the officers and soldiers. He knew that the officers and soldiers would never and would never dare to attack casually before gaining an absolute advantage.

When the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers fought abroad, it was because of this that they fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly.

Of course, this is also related to the terrain of this valley. The terrain inside the valley is slightly higher, and you need to attack from the outside. That is to say, you can see the situation outside the valley from the inside of the valley, but you can’t see the inside of the valley from outside the valley. situation.Otherwise, if the officers and soldiers see that there are only about twenty people guarding the valley, even if the officer leading the army is a fool, they will charge.

Old Man Chen and others and the officers and soldiers arrived at the mouth of the valley almost at the same time, but the officers and soldiers did not know the situation in the valley, but Old Man Chen knew that the officers and soldiers were right in front of them.

Prepared versus unprepared, old man Chen took the lead in launching the attack.

"Pike thrust!" Old man Chen shouted.

Following the old man Chen's order, the spearmen led by Chen Dahu stabbed out without hesitation.

Although the rest of the people were half a beat behind, they immediately stabbed forward with the guns in their hands.

When old man Chen issued the order, the two sides happened to meet. Since old man Chen shot first, the officers and soldiers were too late to respond.
