Chapter 118 It's hard to determine the reality

(The old rule is that today is Monday, ask for some red tickets from the brothers first! Brothers, don't hesitate to support me!)

Xiao Tianjian also saw it in the army. After seeing the officers' cavalry running, he stopped the war horses from afar. After looking at them, he turned around and walked away, and knew that the military appearance of the Xing Tianjun still scared the officers and cavalry.

So he pointed the retreating officers and cavalry with a horse whip and smiled and said, "It's ridiculous, this bastards. I was so scared that I almost peed my pants when I saw us!" All right! Let's all rest on the spot! Waiting for their main force to come! If they don't dare to come over, it doesn't matter. Let's take this area and see what the government can do!"

"Sit..." After Xiao Tianjian's military order was issued, the officers' orders sounded in the army. They only listened to the hula, and all the soldiers immediately sat on the ground. The enemy had not yet come, and standing would only consume their physical strength. So it is better for them to accumulate physical strength now.

The hunters in the bow and arrow team next to them were quite nervous when they saw the officers and cavalry coming. They all pulled arrows out of the arrows and put them on the bow string, ready to launch. After all, they usually hunt and hunted birds and beasts. Today, for the first time, in the face of the officers and soldiers, they did not Several people don't feel nervous. One by one, they are a little uncertain. I don't know if they can go home alive today.

But when they saw the soldiers of the Xingtian Army's soldiers forming a calm array one by one, and they were carrying out the orders issued by the peak without any confusion. It seemed that there was nothing wrong, and few people showed too nervous expressions, so these hunters had some bottom in their hearts and began to feel at ease. Many, they sighed to each other that the Xing Tianjun was really powerful, and they didn't pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all.

"What is this? Let me tell you! When our general took us in Longzhou, Shaanxi Province, he faced He Renlong, who was known as a madman. Have you ever heard of He Renlong? In the early years, it was said that he also fought against the rebels in your Shanxi area! Who mentions that he is not afraid! Our general took us and beat the man surnamed He all over the ground, and finally even his nephew was captured alive!

Isn't it just some officers and soldiers this time? They are counting! Don't be afraid. With our general here, we will never suffer losses! If you make military achievements this time, the general will definitely not be stingy with rewards and promise that you will not suffer losses! Well, the general has an order to rest on the spot. It's all there. At my command, sit down on the spot!" As the chief general of the archers who was temporarily assigned to lead the team of hunters, Wang Hao brag about the group of hunters under him. At the same time, he also paid attention to the flag and the trumpet in the main array. When he saw the flag rest on the spot, he shouted.

After listening to this, the tension subsided a lot. They all sat down with a smile, put the hunting bow beside them, and began to chat with each other.

Niu Tai was leading the team to move slowly towards the front. He saw a sentry horse coming from the official road. He looked up and knew that it was Wang Youtian who led his troops back, so he ordered him to stop moving forward, rest on the spot, and ordered Wang Youtian to come and see him.

Wang Youtian ran to Niu Tai, rolled down the saddle and knelt on one leg in front of Niu Tai and said loudly, "See guerrilla Lord, see Lord Wang!"

Eunuch Wang took a light look at Wang Youtian and ignored him. He was full of airs and didn't pay attention to an officer like Wang Youtian at all.

Wang Youtian couldn't help scolding the thief, but his face did not dare to show his dissatisfaction with the eunuch Wang. Instead, Niu Tai waved his horse whip and said, "Mr. Wang Qian has worked hard. Can you find out the news of the thief army?"

"The two adults are lucky not to be humiliated, and they have met the thief army! The thief army is now stopping five miles ahead, and it has been lined up in battle, waiting for us to pass!

But according to the humble position, I'm afraid this thief army is not good this time! The number of troops of the thief army is as many as 2,000, and it is very strong, and the military appearance is very prosperous, which is by no means comparable to those ordinary poles we have encountered before! The other party obviously wants to stop us from going to Yangcheng here, and it is clear that he wants to fight to the death with us here! Please make a final order!" Wang Youtian did not exaggerate, but truthfully said to Niu Tai.

After hearing this, Niu Tai couldn't help but get nervous. He was going to gather his men to discuss what to do next and whether to stop and think about how to deal with this thief army.

However, the eunuch surnamed Wang, who didn't speak at the beginning, snorted coldly from his nose: "Hum! I think you must be exaggerating. An unclimatic thief is actually said to be a prosperous military in your mouth, which is quite powerful! It's not that we haven't seen a thief army, but it's just a rabble! How can it be as powerful as you said? Even Gao Yingxiang, who is making a lot of noise now, although he has tens of thousands of troops, it is said that only two or three thousand people are really fighting, and there are 2,000 elite soldiers in a thieves in a small Yangcheng County. Do you think our family has never seen the world? Is Mr. Wang Qian afraid of war? That's why the thief army is so powerful?"

Wang Youtian was so angry after listening to it! The eunuch surnamed Wang also heard about him before he went out. This man has been sent to Shanxi from the palace for a long time and has basically never seen a battle. It is said that he is very dissatisfied with the dispatch of him here as a supervisor this time. He thinks it's better to stay in the capital. He wants to take this opportunity to take this opportunity to get some credit, and then find a way to return. When I go to Beijing, I will be in a position in Si Lijian, and I will tremble.

So this man came out this time and had a hard time with them and generals all the way. He either thought that they were walking slowly or that they were afraid of war. Now he reported according to the truth, he was caught by this man's reputation for fear of war. If he was targeted by the eunuch surnamed Wang this time, he would go back and give him a heavy book in the war report. If it's a pen, then Wang Youtian will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.

The blue veins on Wang You's forehead jumped and quickly explained, "Lord Wang, I dare not be inferior. What the inferior position said is true. If you don't believe it, Lord Wang can go with the army in person to know whether the inferior position is lying!"

Wang Jianjun stared at him and immediately shouted to Wang Youtian, "Do you think we dare not go? ......”

"Lord Wang, please calm down! Mr. Wang Qian, how many people are there in the total strength of the thief army? Niu Tai saw that Wang Jianjun seemed to be angry and it was clear that he was going to attack, so he quickly persuaded him, and at the same time asked Wang Youtian again.

Although Wang Youtian was not convinced, he did not dare to contradict this Wang Jianjun, so he had to swallow his anger and said with a smile, "I want to the guerrilla lord, the strength of the thief's army is about 2,000 people! Except for less than 20% of the seemingly hostage-insurd people, the rest are basically soldiers, which is very wrong!"

Niu Tai thought about it in his heart that there are indeed a lot of 2,000 thieves, but he is also skeptical about what Wang Youtian said that the other party is an elite soldier. He has been in contact with large and small poles over the years. He has never seen the quality of the poles, like about 2,000 thieves, one of which can be Even if it is good to become a general who has some ability, most of the rest are some mud legs. Even if this Xingtian army is slightly better, it is not bad to have at most four or five hundred soldiers. Wang Youtian said that there are only 20% of the auxiliary soldiers under his command, and the rest are soldiers, which is obviously unreasonable.

However, since Wang Youtian said so, maybe Wang Youtian was a little afraid of war, so he exaggerated his words. However, Wang Youtian should not falsely report the number of the enemy. Two thousand thief soldiers, 4,000 officers and soldiers under his command and the villagers. Obviously, he still has the advantage in number, and after all, he still has 2,000 people. It's a serious officer and army. Even if it's not good, it can't be worse than the thief army! So this battle can still be fought!

Moreover, the place mentioned by Wang Tianyou is a relatively flat place in this area, and it is not easy to set up an ambush, but the thief army set up an array here to block his way, so at least he does not have to be afraid of being ambushed by the thief army, so if he fights this battle, he still has a good chance of winning.

Things are two-sided. Although this thief's army's move is a little abnormal, it is also beneficial in this way. If he leads his troops to defeat the thief's army in this battle here, then it will be much smoother to enter the border of Yangcheng to sweep the thief army, which is better than these thieves huddled in the cottage and guard the mountain. If he can't get out of the village, he will have to take a strong attack to solve them. In that case, the mountains and forests in the south of Yangcheng are deep, and this battle may not be easy to fight.

So after thinking about it for a moment, Niu Tai made up his mind to meet this thief army. After all, now, with the words of Wang Youtian alone, he is not moving forward. Not to mention whether he will lose his reputation, at least it will make Wang Jianjun laugh at him. It is indispensable to use this as an excuse in the future to report on his future promotion. Li.

So he immediately ordered, "Mr. Wang Qian, go down first!" As soon as I go with the general to meet this thief army, I want to see what kind of ambition this thief army has eaten. It is so arrogant that I dare to come to take the initiative to meet us! In addition, pass the order, speed up the march, and let the brothers cheer me up!"

Wang Jianjun was a little satisfied with this and said nothing more. Wang Youtian also immediately retreated and returned to his headquarters. He opened his way in front, constantly cursing and grined, secretly cursing that Wang Jianjun was not good to death.

So at the urging of Niu Tai, the officer and army finally accelerated their speed and rushed to the position where Xing Tianjun was.
