Chapter 117: The sound of the east and the west
The news that Qin Chuan led 600 people out of Ningwu Pass quickly spread throughout Jinglelan County. So on the seventh day, Loufan welcomed a wave of guests.
Gu Dingtian, the Hu family in the East Village, had the courage to compete with Qin Chuan. After learning that the Qin surnamed Qin took 600 people away, he intuitively thought that this was an opportunity.
So, in just two days, Gu Dingtian united the Feng family in Chijianling and Qian family in Puming Town. The three families joined forces to attack Loufan.
The Zhang family, Chen family, and Ma family also symbolically participated in a group, sending seventy or eighty people to come, gathering up 1,500 people, and sending several tribe members to accompany and command.
After Feng Yilong and Qian's concubine son, he made up a piece of money and money, he quickly decided on a rough plan. Several people led 1,500 men and horses and set off at dusk. At the third o'clock in the morning, he was discovered by the spies of the Guandi Army in Budouxia, ten miles north of Jingyou.
Huang Liuxi was woken up in his sleep. When he heard that more than a thousand people came from the other party, he ordered his retreat without hesitation. Sanbai Wudang Camp immediately withdrew from Mengjiazhuang and quickly sent people back to Mengjiazhuang to report the news, and then went to the Hongqian Mountain Mine to let the miners there avoid it first, and the pig iron coke in the mines didn't need to be carved. If you can, just bring some cooked iron.
Today, Jingyou Town is an empty city. Things that can be moved in the house have been moved to Loufan by villagers. The crops in the fields have not started to grow in the winter. They are bare everywhere, and they have no loss if they take up the other party.
The Hu, Feng and Qian family coalition forces demolished several houses in Jingyou Town, used some wood to make large shields and bump into wood, and then continued to rush towards Loufan in a fierce manner.
Wang Jizong was also woken up in his sleep. He put on his clothes randomly and told his wife to take care of Miss Wen, then hurried to the gatehouse.
On the gatehouse, Luo Ba looked at the north side like a sculpture, and the indifferent hawk's eyes seemed to be about to penetrate the night, leaving the invading enemy without any escape.
There was a lot of crying in Loufan Town, and thousands of villagers carried pots, pans, basins, bedding, and houses, and under the leadership of the Guandi Army, they poured into Mengjiazhuang like a tide.
"Lao Luo, how to guard it?"
Wang Jizong didn't know how to fight, and he never thought of pretending to understand, so he asked Luo Ba directly.
Luo Ba turned around and nodded politely at him, then pointed to Loufan Town, which was mixed with houses and land nests outside, and said, "If you can't defend, the 600 defenders and thousands of villagers in Mengjiazhuang can withstand at least 3,000 people. The enemy will not be stupid enough to attack Mengjiazhuang with 1,500 people, which is simply a death sentence."
"They are just trying to attack the west, wanting that we all retreat into Mengjiazhuang, so they can burn Loufan, burn the gunpowder factory three miles away, and then demolish the embankment of Xitougou Reservoir."
Wang Jizong was suddenly shocked.
Yes, if Loufan's houses and land nests were burned down, and even the embankment of Xitougou Reservoir was demolished, the efforts of thousands of villagers in Loufan over the past month would have gone into nothing.
Luo Ba said again: "Before leaving, the boss told me that all the wealthy families around him are cruel and ruthless. They will not sit idly by and watch Lou Fan grow stronger, and they will definitely come to destroy him. They must pay special attention to the other party's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and fight against the west."
Hearing this, Wang Jizong knew that Luo Ba had a countermeasure, so he often breathed a sigh of relief, "If you want to talk about the elite, the wealthy people around him are far inferior to the big manager."
Luo Bashen nodded with consent, "The boss has an explanation that we have few troops and have several places to defend. We cannot fight head-on with others, nor can we avoid the enemy without fighting. We can only gradually weaken the opponent with cleverness, change the strengths of the troops of both sides, and then turn it around, then defeat it with another blow, and hit the dog in the water."
"Mr. Wang, I'll leave it to you. The Third Headmaster should be back soon. I have to lead the troops out and get those cruel and ruthless people for a while."
"Okay, Lao Luo, don't worry, with me here, there will be no trouble in Mengjiazhuang."
Luo Ba didn't say anything more, just hung the bow and arrow in his hand back, and then went downstairs.
After all the villagers entered Mengjiazhuang, Luo Babin and Huang Liuxi led 500 people mixed with Wudang Camp and Shifang Camp, each holding wooden shields, carrying several or even dozens of javelins on their backs, and walked out of the village.
There were still five hundred war horses in the village, but it was not yet dawn, and the dark horse battle was very likely to cause chaos, and it would run away accidentally. Therefore, Luo Ba did not use cavalry to go out of the village, but only fought with infantry.
When the coalition forces of the big families entered the Loufan territory, Luo Daniu also returned and used the dark night to hide in the west bank of the Fen River, waiting for Luo Ba's signal.
All the people in Guandi Army who were blind in chickens were given preferential treatment. After eating them for nearly a month, most of them had more or less improved blindness. Now they don’t ignite the torch in the dark, and they won’t panic.
The coalition's sentry detectives soon discovered this team led by Luo Ba and walked along the hillside in the dark.
After receiving the investigation, Feng Yilong began to retreat.
The other party did not hide in Mengjiazhuang, and it was obvious that they saw through their plan to attack the world.
Although his own troops are more powerful than the opponent, he does not want the Feng family's children to fight against the opponent and waste their troops unnecessary.
But Gu Dingtian looked eager to try and immediately rushed forward, trying to take the opportunity to eat the five hundred infantry.
Feng Yilong hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say that he wanted to withdraw his troops. He just followed him and tried the combat power of the five hundred people.
When I got closer, I saw that the five hundred people on the other side did not attack, but were only stuck on a gentle slope, erecting a strong shield, looking like I was about to defend the gentle slope.
But there was nothing on the gentle slope.
Gu Dingtian laughed loudly and immediately commanded the coalition forces to surround the gentle slope, and was about to eat the five hundred people.
But Feng Yilong was a little afraid. He knew that there was an army in Mengjiazhuang in Tieshigou Mountain, led by Luo Daniu, the third leader named Qin, and his combat power was the best among the Guandi Army.
Of course, Gu Dingtian knew about Luo Daniu's existence, and also saw Feng Yilong's fear. He immediately asked his 300 troops to guard against Luo Daniu's surprise attack.
Then, Gu Dingtian led the remaining 1,200 coalition forces to fight towards Sangpo.
After a hundred steps, five hundred people above shot fifty or sixty arrows from high ground. The coalition forces below also fought back, but the range from bottom to top was far lower than that of the opponent, so they advanced to seventy steps again, but the opponent's wooden shield was densely erected, and the arrows were rarely shot in, with only a few screams. Twenty or thirty people were shot down on the coalition forces.
Gu Dingtian gave way to infantry attack from bottom to top, and he led two hundred cavalry to raid from the side of the gentle slope.
After reaching fifty steps, a wave of bows and arrows were covered, and then he accelerated the charge and rushed over.
However, before he could fire the second wave of arrows, the other party's shield formation suddenly dispersed. Five hundred people ignored the bows and arrows under the hillside and threw a wave of things at him.
"Not good, it's a javelin!"
Gu Dingtian had never fought head-on with the Guandi Army, but his men had suffered from javelins on the banks of the Longquan River. Now, when they saw the other person's posture, they knew it was a javelin.
He subconsciously raised his shield and felt a sudden shock in his hand. A javelin was pierced on the shield, piercing the shield, revealing the sharp spear head several inches long.
Almost at the same time, a scream rang out around.
When Gu Dingtian rushed to the other party for more than ten steps, the other party had already thrown two rounds of javelins. Only then did he realize that there were only less than fifty riders left by his side.
The other party suffered a lot, gave up the shield protection and chose to throw javelins at his two hundred cavalrymen, at least thirty or forty people were shot by bows and arrows, and the formation was in an instant. Many people hurriedly hid behind the shield, but many people continued to throw javelins at him.
Gu Dingtian knew something was wrong, so he pulled the reins without hesitation, turned his head, looked away from a sharp javelin, and rushed down the hillside regardless.
His two hundred riders survived less than twenty in the end.
At this time, the roar of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the east, and a cavalry was running towards him.
The coalition forces, which had climbed halfway up, stopped and looked in the direction of the roar in horror.
Gu Dingtian was scared and forgot to command. The coalition forces in Banpo didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment. The five hundred men led by Luo Ba on the gentle slope also got a chance to breathe. They turned their shields, adjusted their formations, and kept throwing javelins down with the help of the shield cover.
Feng Yilong's face was solemn, and he hurriedly asked his three hundred people to dismount, raise a shield, and set up a spear.
The three hundred cavalry led by Luo Daniu came. Instead of charging directly, he began to throw the javelin away fifty steps, and made a semicircle and turned around and left.
The shape of the Guandi Army's javelin, the infantry can beat more than thirty steps with all their strength, and the cavalry can reach more than 40 steps with the help of horse speed, and very few steps with the help of the horse. Luo Daniu's wave of javelins was loud and the raindrops were small, and they all fell in front of Feng Yilong's formation. Only a dozen fell into the formation, piercing a few unlucky people into each other.
The reason why Luo Daniu threw the javelin at fifty steps was that he did not want to fight head-on with the other party's bow and arrow, and minimize his own casualties.
The coalition forces that had climbed to half a slope left a hundred bodies and were forced back by a javelin.
Gu Dingtian came to his senses, with red eyes, and waved his knife to ask the coalition forces to continue the attack.
"Mr. Gu, forget it. If you continue to fight, it will only be a situation where both sides suffer losses, and no one can get any benefits." Feng Yilong said in the right time.
"Forget it? How can I forget it?" Gu Dingtian looked a little crazy, "They are only a few hundred people, and they can be destroyed by rushing up..."
"Master Gu, that's not to destroy the other party, but to die with the other party." Feng Yilong interrupted him without hesitation, "If you don't care about your life, then you can do whatever you want. Feng is all brothers who are connected by blood and have been born and die. He cherishes his life very much. Please forgive Feng for not being with him."
As he said that, Feng Yilong shouted, and his three hundred subordinates slowly retreated. Seeing that Luo Daniu's cavalry had not yet come around, they boarded their horses and followed Feng Yilong and returned to the same route.
Gu Dingtian's face looked ugly. He pointed at Feng Yilong's back, but couldn't say a word.
"Forget it, Master Gu, let's retreat too." A member of the Zhang family also said.
Gu Dingtian looked at the corpses and the wailing wounded soldiers on the bank of the slope, and stomped his feet with resentment.
