Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 144: Take the credit for a sleep

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty a year ago, and automatically entered a state of war with the Ming army, the relationship between the Tang Wangshi and the Ming army has always been life and death.

However, this situation has changed in today's Longhua Town. The Ming army and the Tang army get along well, and they look like brothers and friends.

The Ming army in the town also took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the porter, grabbing the Huangzhushan bandits who had entered the town, and helping to pick the unfinished things into the Tang army tent.

In the final count, this time, Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty had obtained quite a lot, including more than 800 taels of silver, more than 30 taels of gold, a number of pigs, cattle and donkeys, a group of chickens and ducks, a basket of eggs and duck eggs, and a pile of fruits, vegetables and grain.

However, the more important seizures were not the above-mentioned gold, silver and food, but all kinds of weapons and more than ten horses.

There are all kinds of standard waist knives, spears, shields and even enough to make the current Great Tang kings complete their outfits, so that these bandits can be transformed into Ming Armies!

Among them, the more important are more than ten pairs of armor. These armors are enough to increase the number of heavy armored swordsmen or spearmen of the Great Tang King by more than ten people. Don't underestimate the increase of more than ten people. You must know that before In total, there were only more than 20 armored gangsters in the Great Tang Dynasty.

And these more than 20 armored bandits have played an important role in the many expeditions of the Datang Wangshi, even now the limelight of the Datang Wangshi's guards has completely overshadowed the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers. However, the importance of armor is still very important, and it cannot be replaced even in a short time.

In addition to the armor, the more important thing is the dozen or so horses. Although these horses look relatively thin and short, they are not real war horses at all, but they can still be used for riding.

When Li Xuan saw these horses, his first reaction was to get a cavalry, even if it was only a dozen people.

The importance of cavalry is needless to say. Before the advent of tanks, cavalry has always been one of the most important arms in the battlefield, whether it is an ancient army or a modern army.

In a mature modern army, cavalry is an indispensable arm. In the French army of Napoleon's era, the ratio of infantry to cavalry was more than five to one.

And some countries with more horses have even higher proportions of cavalry.

Although the Tang Dynasty was weak and had no more than 500 troops, they had no conditions to engage in large-scale cavalry, but it should not be a problem to get a dozen or so cavalry troops, and Li Xuan did not expect the cavalry he produced to be able to attack the enemy. And so on, as long as you can carry out investigations and do the work of scouts well.

Therefore, Li Xuan stopped Fang Dongquan and other senior officers from trying to divide up the horses on the spot, but directly ordered to select a dozen people from the entire army who could ride horses, preferably those who could shoot arrows on horseback.

The result is that Li Xuan is very depressed. There are many people who can barely ride horses, but none of them are proficient in equestrianism. It is even more difficult to find those who can bow and shoot arrows on horseback.

In desperation, I can only choose more than a dozen people who are proficient in equestrianism, and who are smart and good at learning. I don't expect them to be able to ride and shoot. Military intelligence, send a letter to convey the order.

As for the real cavalry, let's talk about it later!

In addition to the above-mentioned seizures, there is also an unexpected harvest. They found a lot of black powder lead bullets from the warehouse of the Ming army. These black powder are obviously used by the Ming army for their own original fire guns, and they are now almost cheaper. Guards.

As for the gunpowder and lead bullets used by the Guards, they were all secretly purchased from outside the mountains, and the quantity was very small. That is to say, the musketeers in the Guards only had more than 20 guns, which was not a large amount.

Now that so many batches have been captured, it is estimated that the more than 20 guns of the Guards will not be used up until the barrels explode.

The seizure from Longhua Town made all the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain very excited. It can be said that everyone is satisfied!

Everyone in Huangzhu Mountain was happy, and the Ming army in Longhua Town was also happy. At least they no longer had to worry about the siege of the puppet Tang army. As for the many materials that were robbed, they were not the private property of those brave soldiers in the county anyway. Either the gold and silver of the big family, or the ordnance in the official warehouse, if they are robbed, they will be robbed. It's none of their business!

In the afternoon, the Master of the Tang Dynasty, who was full of food and drink, was rewarded. It was the puppet army that had already left the mountain and was expected to arrive tomorrow!

Therefore, Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty did not continue to stay outside Longhua Town, and left in the afternoon with a lot of seized items and more than 20 craftsmen.

Before leaving, they also did one more thing, which was to set fire to the grain of the Ming army's granary in the city.

Seeing the pseudo-Tang thief army gradually disappearing into the distance, many Ming army county warriors and young warriors in the city were greatly relieved. For the past half of the day, they were scared to death, and many people thought they were themselves. I can't live tomorrow.

Now that the Pseudo-Tang thieves who were killed by the sky finally left, their little lives were saved.

Immediately, the only small flag left in Longhua Town saw that the pseudo-Tang bandit army had gone far, and it seemed that he did not intend to return, he immediately laughed and said with a righteous face: "The pseudo-Tang bandit army is not too bad. you!"

Immediately, he turned to face the brave youths of the dozens of counties below and said: "Today, I will wait for a long time to fight with the pseudo-Tang bandit army, firmly block the pseudo-Tang bandit army outside the city, and protect the thousands of people in the town. safety!"

He just said these words, and the Xian Yong and Qing Zhuang below still didn't react. They thought it was strange. Why did this Xiaoqi master panic for no reason? They didn't fight the pseudo-Tang bandit army at all. Have a good time!

But several clever people were born at this time and responded: "Yes, we have all made great contributions today, defending Longhua Town, and we will not be rewarded with great rewards!"

As soon as these clever people reminded them, although the remaining people were still a little confused, they were soon reminded by people around them that this battle must be said to be a success of perseverance, and it cannot be said that they wanted to escape but were caught. The pseudo-Tang bandit army stopped them, and finally the pseudo-Tang bandit army swaggered in and sent people in to loot and set the granary on fire.

What's even worse is that these county braves also acted as pawns in the process. If the superiors know this, they will have to peel off their skins if they don't die.

Immediately, one by one, they insisted: They blocked the pseudo-Tang bandit army from the city!

As for the pseudo-Tang thieves who entered the city to loot, who said they were the pseudo-Tang thieves, they were obviously a small group of green-skinned hooligans who took the opportunity to make trouble in the city.

As for those missing ordnance and gold and silver, this army is in chaos, who knows where the ordnance and gold and silver went, maybe they just grew wings and flew away.

It's easier to explain when the food and grass are burned: it's an accident, it's normal to lose a fire in a panic!

In short, even if they were killed, they would not admit that it was the pseudo-Tang bandit army who stopped them from leaving, forcing them to defend the city, and even brought people from the pseudo-Tang bandit army into the city to loot and burn food!

Seeing that both Xian Yong and Qing Zhuang were so conscious, Xiao Qi, headed by him, nodded in satisfaction with a smile on his face. These are all good soldiers!

If the truth of the matter is not revealed, he is the one who led the county's brave youth to defend Longhua Town and pulled the raging tide at the most critical juncture.

Now the only officer in Longhua Town, what a lot of credit for this, I am afraid there is hope for the promotion of the third level.

I drank too much last night, and went to a widow's house to toss for the whole night. When I woke up, I found that my colleagues were almost running. Later, when I wanted to run, it was already a fake Tang. The bandit army was blocked in the city, and in the end, in desperation, they could only obediently obey the orders of the pseudo-Tang bandit army outside, and lead people to continue to 'stick' to Longhua Town.

But I didn't expect that these pseudo-Tang thieves actually didn't attack the city, they just stole a batch of things and left. In this way, they were a blessing in disguise!

Thinking like this, he just laughed, there is no way, who is destined to let God make himself a fortune, and he can get a great credit for defending the city after a good night's sleep!

However, when the pseudo-Tang thieves entered the city to loot and burn food, there were still many people who saw it besides their county braves. In order to prevent these people from speaking out, he had to find a way to get around, such as letting go The people below disguised themselves as green-skinned hooligans who took advantage of the opportunity to roam the streets for a few laps, grabbing something to treat and rewarding themselves. After being scared for so long, they had to grab some money to suppress the shock!

Anyway, the pseudo-Tang thieves have no military uniforms, and the clothes are actually no different from ordinary people. Who would dare to insist that these people are the pseudo-Tang thieves?

You said they were the pirates of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and I also said that you were a spy of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty. Come on, arrest this daring spy of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty and play a hundred punches first. If they are finished, they still insist that they see The person in question was the Puppet Tang Bandit Army, so UU Reading www.uukanshu.com didn't need to continue talking nonsense with him, he just slashed it with one knife.

How the Ming army in Longhua Town arranges the funeral is naturally not the concern of the kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty. What Li Xuan and the others care about is that Longhua Town is still in the hands of the Ming army, and the military rations and weapons in Longhua Town have been destroyed. Burned out, it is estimated that the Ming army will be difficult to maintain a large-scale operation into the mountain in the future, so that he can safely bring these captured back to the mountain.

After leaving Longhua Town, Butcher Chen and the others said they would go outside the county for a walk, but Li Xuan felt that he should check the situation first to see if all the Ming troops had left the mountain. Now, to avoid overly stimulating the Ming Army dog ​​jumping over the wall.

Li Xuan guessed that after the "fire" of the military rations in Longhua Town was burned out, the Ming army should not be able to continue large-scale operations, at least it should be able to stop for a few months.

So, Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty wandered in the countryside, while watching the beautiful scenery of the river and mountains, he grabbed a few tickets at random. After all, the predecessor of Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty was a bandit, and Fang Dongquan felt that they would not rob a single trip. Feeling uncomfortable.

When Li Xuan brought a group of bandits to scourge the countryside, Su Jiakang also rushed back to Longhua Town with a large number of Ming troops. Looking at the armoury and grain depot that had been burned to ashes, he immediately became furious!
