Poor Family Chapter 509

  Chapter 509 Fierce battle against Aogang

More than a thousand bandits came slowly, surrounded by village master Lu Fang and deputy village master Luo Jin. Although they were bandits, their equipment was not bad, basically the same as that of the Xiang army, with iron helmets and leather armor, and spears as their weapons. Lord, each soldier is also equipped with a sword.

This is the 1,000 sets of equipment that Lu Fang exchanged from Liang Fangping for the 50,000 taels of silver obtained by the bandits for many years. In addition, there are 5,000 shi of grain. Ordinary bandits do not have this kind of courage, but Lu Fang after all Having sat in the top chair of the Liangshan Army, he knows that development and growth are the only way to resist officers and soldiers.

   It was these food and equipment that allowed Lu Fang to quickly annex the seven or eight bandits on the Taihang, making him the leader of the largest bandit in the South Taihang, firmly controlling Fuyang Road.

  At this time, a bandit soldier came rushing to report: "Qi report to the village master, the officers and soldiers on the mountain have crossbow arrows, and the leader of the Jin team was shot and killed by them!"

  It is normal for officers and soldiers to have crossbow arrows, but it is strange that Jin Xiaoyi, who is so afraid of death, was shot to death. Lu Fang frowned and asked, "How far away was he shot?"

   "About two hundred steps!"

   Lu Fang looked up at the top of the mountain. In such a dark night, he was able to shoot and kill the opponent from two hundred steps away. There is an expert on the mountain!

  Beside Luo Jin whispered: "Brother, could it be Li Yanqing? It is said that his bow and arrow are very powerful."

   "It's not him, he's just good at riding and shooting. This is a crossbow shooting. Two hundred steps away should be a **** arm crossbow."

   Lu Fang immediately ordered: "The first team and the second team attacked the mountain from the north and the south, and killed an officer and soldier, and rewarded ten pieces of money!"

The two hundred bandit soldiers were divided into two teams, and they headed south and north respectively. Lu Fang summoned another confidant and said, "Take twenty brothers to the east and west to see if there is a path up the mountain. Pay attention to concealment."

   "Humble post obeys orders!"

   His subordinates hurried into the night with twenty soldiers.

At this time, the thin clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and a round and a half moon appeared in the dark blue night sky. The snow was trampled by three hundred township soldiers and then solidified again, making the **** extraordinarily smooth, and it would slip if you were not careful, which also brought great trouble to the bandit soldiers' attack.

In particular, the bandit soldiers were not equipped with shields, so many bandit soldiers could only attack the mountain by sticking to the inside of the slope, which was very difficult to attack. Although the crossbow arrows shot from the top of the mountain were not dense, they were extremely lethal. A bandit soldier would be shot, and the bandit soldiers only attacked the turning of the mountain road, which is halfway up the mountain, and Lu conveniently ordered the troops to withdraw.

  At this time, the 200 bandit soldiers who attacked the mountain had already been shot at more than 40 people, and everyone was terrified. When they heard the bell ringing, the rest of the bandit soldiers ran down like rabbits.

   "Village Master, how are you?" Luo Jin asked in a low voice.

Lu Fang probably already understood the defense on the top of the mountain. There were no more than 100 crossbowmen on the other side, and about 50 people on the north and south sides. Their small-scale attack would not be able to attack at all. mountain top.

  He immediately said to Luo Jin: "You and I will each lead five hundred people to attack the mountain with all our strength, and kill at all costs!"

  Luo Jin nodded, "Brother attacks the north, I'm in charge of the south!"

   Lu Fang turned his head and shouted: "Beat the drums and cheer for me!"

  Twenty big drums 'Boom! Boom! Boom! ' The ground sounded, and a thousand bandit soldiers, led by Lu Fang and Luo Jin, began to launch a full-scale attack on the mountain!

At the same time as the bell rang for the retreat of the bandit army, dozens of soldiers began to pour water on the hillside. Three large iron pots were set up in the yard, and the fire was burning wood underneath, which made the iron pots scalding hot, and there was no need to boil the water. Open, as long as the snow turns into ice water, pour it into the leather bag immediately, and the soldiers run out with the leather bag and splash it on the slope. It condensed into a white ice surface.

  In addition, Li Yanqing also ordered the soldiers to dig a ditch at the top of the mountain path, and piled up more than one hundred mud bags to form a mud wall, five feet high on the front and three feet high on the sides, becoming the last barrier on the top of the mountain.

Behind the mud wall are dozens of short logs. Each log is two feet long and varies in thickness. The thickest one is thicker than a washbasin, and the thinnest is about the size of a small wooden barrel. Although there are no huge stones, these logs It will also become a defensive weapon. This is just the first batch of logs sent. In the yard, twenty soldiers are sawing logs with all their strength. A dozen large pine trees can prepare at least a hundred logs.

At this time, Li Yanqing was standing on the westernmost side of the mountain, watching coldly the movement of the bandit army in the distance. He saw the bandit army divided into two teams, running towards the north and south, and at the same time the drums were beating loudly. The attack is about to begin.

  Li Yanqing immediately turned around and ordered: "Stop splashing water, the first round of spearmen is ready to fight!"

The first round of pikemen dispatched 100 people, 50 people were deployed on each of the north and south mountain roads, and the other 20 people were responsible for monitoring the east and west sides, preventing the bandits from going up the mountain in a sneak attack, and 80 people were left as backup for the second round. In the compound, replenish troops at any time.

After Li Yanqing gave the order, groups of soldiers rushed out from the compound and took their positions one after another. Some thirty of them were responsible for the frontal defense of the mountain road, and the other twenty were with the crossbowmen on the side. The crossbowmen were lowered. arrows, and the spearman slams the log down on the enemy.

The bandit soldiers in the north took the lead in launching the attack. Inspired by the sound of horns and drums, hundreds of bandit soldiers rushed up the mountain road like a black torrent, and rushed to the top of the mountain. There were too many of them, and they crowded the mountain road in black .

  Wang Gui yelled sharply: "Shoot the arrow, hit the log!"

Fifty crossbowmen shot down arrows together, and the dense arrows swished at the bandit army. The screams and wailing of the arrows were heard from the mountain road, but fifty arrows were still too few for hundreds of people attacking the mountain. , When the soldiers wound up, the enemy forward had already rushed to the turn of the mountain road.

At this moment, ten dark objects fell from the sky and smashed into the crowd. This effect was much better than that of crossbow arrows. Dozens of people were knocked down in an instant. Had a serious setback.

   "Smash it down!" Wang Gui shouted, pointing at the dense crowd below the mountain road.

A cold arrow swished past Wang Gui's ear, scaring Wang Gui into a cold sweat. He suddenly became angry, lifted the heaviest wooden stake and threw it at the crowded place, cursing: "I smashed you to death!" These bastards!"

Another ten logs fell from the top of the head, and the dense crowd on the mountain road had no way to hide. They suffered heavy casualties and screams, and two rounds of logs fell, causing more than a hundred casualties. Terrified, they all turned around and ran down the mountain. The mountain road was full of corpses.

   At this time, good news came from the south. They only used ten logs to break up the attack of the bandit army. The attacks on both the north and the south ended in failure.

   "Old Li, the rolling log is much stronger than the bow and crossbow, and its lethality is so **** addictive!" Wang Gui said excitedly to Li Yanqing.

   "Unfortunately not many, I asked just now, there are more than 60 sticks, can use two more rounds!"

  Wang Gui scratched his head, feeling very regretful in his heart, "It's a pity that there are too few trees on the top of the mountain. If there are more than a dozen big trees, these **** won't be able to attack."

  Yue Fei walked over and smiled slightly: "I have a good idea!"

   "What a good way!" Li Yanqing and Wang Gui asked in unison.

  Yue Fei kicked the frozen mud bag with his feet, and said with a smile, "What if this mud bag is spherical?"

   Li Yanqing and Wang Gui's eyes lit up. This is really a good way to make a big mud ball. The weather is so cold that it is estimated that it will freeze solid in half an hour.

  Li Yanqing acted decisively and ordered the back-up soldiers in the yard to dig the soil together to make big mud balls, which would be hard to break with a hammer after freezing.

  Wang Gui chuckled again, "Bringing up those corpses is also a good meat stone."

  Li Yanqing kicked him lightly, "You can figure it out, how many dead bodies have you seen used as weapons in the war? It's really not enough, aren't these mud bags better than dead bodies?"

   "I was just joking, I'll arrange to make clay balls!" Wang Gui hurriedly found an excuse and slipped away.

At this time, Yue Fei said to Li Yanqing: "Just now I carefully observed the attacking soldiers. I found that although they were well equipped, they were poorly trained. They were crowded with crowds. If we can reduce the number of enemy troops to less than 500, we might as well kill and wipe out this bandit army!"

  Li Yanqing pondered for a while and said: "Our task is to protect the safety of the surveillance mission. This is the top priority. If the reinforcements can arrive in time, we can cooperate with the reinforcements to destroy this bandit. Don't consider other plans for now."

Yue Fei nodded silently, and sighed again: "I made a little mistake in the first arrow, I shouldn't have fired the arrow too early, and it was a surprise, and the main generals of the bandit army are now out of range, otherwise I would have killed their chief general. "

  Li Yanqing comforted him and said with a smile: "At the end of the kill, they will forget to dodge when they are impatient. Then your chance will come. In fact, now I want to know what happened to the baby you held?"

  Yue Fei showed a gratified smile on his face, "He slept soundly, and he was never woken up. I like this child very much. If possible, I would like to adopt him as an adopted son."

   "Do you want to adopt him?" Li Yanqing froze for a moment.

Yue Fei nodded, "I've thought about it. I've always wanted to have a son to bring life to the family. My father made a wish. It's good to have one, but it's also good to adopt one. This child is about two years old and looks very good. He is strong, and both his parents died unfortunately, I feel that I have a fate with him."

  Li Yanqing also laughed, "I also think he is destined to be with you. Others will cry when they hug him, but he is very quiet when you hug him. He knows that you saved him."

   "Then you also think I can adopt him?"

  During the Song Dynasty, adopting sons and daughters was very common. Since Yue Fei himself wanted to, Li Yanqing certainly did not object, so he nodded, "Give him a famous name!"

  Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said: "The mountain I saved him is called Fanyun Ridge, and my younger brother is called Yue Fan, so I will name him Yue Yun."

  【Yue Fei was born in 1103, and Yue Yun was born in 1119, that is, Yue Fei gave birth to a son at the age of sixteen. A little earlier, Lao Gao personally still thinks that Yue Yun is more likely to be an adopted son. 】
