Got it! Got it!

The morning breeze blew, and Brother Wei Mingcha stood on a loess plateau, looking at the smoke billowing in the distance, and the cries came from the Saimen Village, only feeling a burst of joy.

He was really an ancestral robber, and he grabbed a big ticket as soon as he made a move.

He led his troops to arrive at Tumen Pass north of Saimen Village at noon yesterday, and although the gate was already on guard, there were not many defenders, only about one or two hundred. There was no need for the elite he brought from Xingling to make a move, only the strong men of the Fan Department of the Great Leader of Li Da were allowed to make a move. The men of the great leader Li were prepared, they marched with Chage with a long ladder, and they were also good at climbing, and they captured Tumen Pass in less than two hours.

Then Cha Ge waved his army to storm the fortress, and before the Han fat sheep who grabbed there fled, they surrounded the walled city. first persuaded him to surrender, and then drove the men and horses of the leader of Li to launch a fierce attack.

This time, however, the resistance was much more intense. Because the previous resistance of Tumen Pass was delayed for some time, the farmers and archers around Saimen Village entered the village. All those who could pick up their weapons were armed, and they resisted with all their lives, arrows rained down, and rolling logs and stones fell like hailstones, and the leader of Li was soon unable to support the defeat.

Then Brother Cha forced the leader of Li to lead people to attack twice, until the rolling wood and stones prepared on the Saimen Village were almost consumed, and then he ordered 2000 garrisons to come forward, and one attack broke the Saimen Village!

This is a large village with at least a few thousand people! There are tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses in the stockade, and there may be 100,000 stones of grain, and there must be a lot of copper coins and silk.

Although he had to give a little to the leader of the Li family, the things that Dabai Gaoguo got were still enough.

Moreover, taking Saimen Village can also have the effect of coercing Yan'an Mansion...... If Tao Jiefu still wants to protect Yan'an Mansion without fail, then he has to transfer back the army that occupies Yinzhou. The battle of Yinzhou, even if the Great White High Kingdom wins.

If Tao Jiefu is a little more reckless, he will send troops to capture the fortress if he does not transfer back to Yinzhou. Well, huh...... Another Mikawaguchi victory will be in your hands!

Some people are proud, and some people are sad.

Han Wu's heart hurt so much! Not to mention the defeat in the first battle, even the home is gone, and the friends and family ties who farmed and practiced martial arts with him in Saimen Village are all gone, either dead or become slaves of the Western Thief.

Finally, after taking a look at the black smoke billowing from Saimen Village, the young Han Wu wiped a handful of tears, made a poisonous oath in his heart to destroy the Western Thief, and then climbed on the horse's back, urged the horse to gallop away, and reported to Yan'an Mansion.

In addition to being proud and sad, there are also people who are disappointed today, this person is the old military strategist Wang En and his son Wang Ze.

They...... Of course, the stone fort was laid! However, the food and garrison in the stone fortress are far less than imagined.

The severed heads of the thieves were less than 300, the number of prisoners was zero, and the only one who survived was a traitor. This is an abnormally small number of troops! This is a big village that can store hundreds of thousands of stones!

Moreover, most of the granaries in the fort were empty, and only a few stored less than 10,000 stone of grain.

According to the confession of the traitor of the western thief, the grain stored in the stone fortress has been transported to Xiazhou in the past month, and a considerable part of the defenders have also gone to Xiazhou.

In other words, the stone fort is a walled city that is about to be abandoned......

After spending so much effort and so much money, in the end only one stone castle city that was almost empty, it was really a bit of a loss.

The old military strategist Wang En and his son glanced at each other, and it seemed that they could only rely on the wonderful pen of Zheyan to whitewash a great victory.

"Seventh brother," the old military strategist Wang sighed, and said to his son, "You take someone to Yinzhou, and let Wuhao Gu send someone to transport grain."

Remember to be careful, if Yinzhou is besieged by Western thieves, come back quickly, do you know? ”

"The child knows."

Wang En answered, and led dozens of horsemen (these cavalry were all brought by his father) to Yinzhou, and in the evening of the same day, they arrived at the peaceful city of Yinzhou.

Oh, it's not the calm that there is no movement at all, but there is no smell of war, only countless government soldiers under the command of their respective officers, practicing their guns in the wilderness outside Yinzhou City.

The gun array was crooked, and at a glance, I knew that it was the recruit who was practicing. The officers were all like fierce gods, each with a leather whip in their hands, and when they saw something wrong, they unceremoniously whipped it.

But it's not all corporal punishment, there are rewards, Wang En passed by a captain of spearmen when he heard a small officer like Dutou shouting: "You guys listen to the birds, ten days later, they will all be small, if you take the first, everyone will be rewarded, and one will be rewarded with three copper coins!" 2310 Wen Ah...... Do you thieves want money? If you want money, give Lao Tzu a good practice! ”

Ten days of competition, victory is rewarded? Wang En was so surprised to hear it, is there such a way to train soldiers? However, this is a hundred people, and one person gives three hundred yuan...... This martial arts is really willing to do it?

How did Wang En know that Wu Haogu would give more than 300 rewards, because the second and third places also had rewards, and there were even more generous bonuses for grassroots officers at all levels, such as the head of the capital, the deputy head of the capital, and the ten generals.

In the ten-day training competition, Wu Haogu only has to find out a bonus of 1200 yuan!

Of course, it's not just that there are no rewards and no punishments. The penultimate one in the game, all the military sticks are waiting!

Different from the Song Army's traditional light management and emphasis on actual combat, Wu Haogu, a bourgeoisie, deeply knows that management produces benefits! Therefore, his army not only has a relatively professional management team, but also pays close attention to the training of the army.

There is no reason to practice once a few days, but twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. And in order to prevent the people below from fooling things, Wu Haogu also came up with a way to compete in each capital, and there were rewards and punishments.

As for how to compare and how to determine the winner, that is a matter for military opportunities......

In short, it is not easy to do things under Wu Dalang!

Just when Wang En arrived in Yinzhou City, Wu Haogu's big tent. This big profit-oriented capitalist was pacing back and forth in his account, looking very anxious.

What made him anxious was that the army of western thieves who came out of Xiazhou City suddenly disappeared!

Originally, they should have approached Yinzhou, and there may be a fierce battle in Yinzhou in the next two days.

But now, this army of thieves seems to have disappeared into thin air. Don't know where to go? Maybe go back to the city, maybe go south and cross Hengshan to threaten Yan'an, maybe ...... found the 3,000 cavalry led by Murong Parrot and Wan Yan Xianye, and followed!

The last of these possibilities is what Wu Haogu is most worried about.

Because the 20,000 soldiers in his hands did not have much combat effectiveness, and the only ones who could fight were more than 3,000 dragon warriors and 1,000 armored cavalry. And the role of the dragon warrior is far inferior to the armor horse.

If these armor horses are consumed by the western thieves, then they will have to flee from Yinzhou City in embarrassment.

In addition, 200 of the 1,000 armor cavalry were Wu Haogu's false sons, and more than 200 cavalry were cavalry recruited from Jiehe Shang City. They can also be seen as Wu Haogu's own strength.

If the western thieves are all destroyed, then Wu Hao Gu Ke will make a big loss-making deal!

"Xuanzan, Wang Zheng is coming, and Wang Zheng of Yan Yanjun is coming!"

A military machine suddenly ran over and told Wu Haogu the news of Wang Ze's arrival.

"Wang Zhengjiang?" Wu Haogu couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

"It is the seventh yamen of General Wang, the third general of Yan Yanlu, Wang Zezhi."

This military machine is a knight from the Western Army, and he knows Wang Ze.

"Why is he here?" Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Please come in." ”

"Whoa!"

This military machine should lead Wang Ze in, and after meeting Wu Haogu, he did not greet him, and Wang Ze directly reported the good news of seizing the stone fort and seizing thousands of stones of military rations.

"Stone Castle?" Wu Haogu walked to the map and found the location of the stone fort, and sure enough, it was not far from Yinzhou.

"Wu Xuanzan," Wang Ze saw that Wu Haogu didn't say when he would send someone to transport grain, so he urged, "There are thousands of stone grain in the stone fort, please send someone to get it." ”

Wu Haogu shook his head, "Zezhi...... Four days ago, at least 20,000 cavalry of Western thieves left Xiazhou, thinking that they were coming to Yinzhou, but there was no trace of them. ”

"Four days ago? 20,000 Western Thief Cavalry!? Wang Ze also felt that the matter was a bit serious.

The distance between Xiazhou and Yinzhou is only more than a hundred miles, and the infantry can go for three days. How the cavalry runs, it can be done in one day. On a normal march, two days would be about the same.

In other words, this Western Thief Cavalry should have arrived in Xiazhou two days ago!

"Do you know where they went?"

"I don't know!" Wu Haogu shook his head, "Is it possible to enter Hengshan?" ”

"Into Yokoyama?" Wang Ze frowned, "Xuanzan means that they crossed Hengshan to fight ......"

His gaze swept over the map and landed on Saimen Village.

"They're going to fight the fortress!" Wang Ze said in a low voice.

"Semenzhai?" Wu Haogu also found the Saimen Village on the map, "It's very close to Yan'an Mansion City!" Will they ......"

"Attack Yan'an Mansion City?" Wang Ze shook his head, "I can't beat it...... Yan'an Mansion was almost taken by Yuan Hao more than sixty years ago. Therefore, it has been continuously strengthened and increased since then, and now it has long been solid. Moreover, there were many garrisons in the city and the surrounding fortresses, and there were no less than 20,000 forbidden troops and archers. There were 100,000 thieves in the west, and they could not be taken without a few months of attack. ”

Wu Haogu's heart had sunk, "Then it's not Saimen Village......

"No, no," Wang Ze shook his head, his face a little ugly, "It must be Saimenzhai!" Saimen Zhai Tuntian has been in the field for decades, the reserves are quite abundant, and the surrounding population is also large, once it is breached, our losses will be great! ”
