Brother Rat is about thirty years old, but people of this age generally look old. Because everybody has a big beard, this guy has two whiskers. It looks a lot like the flea on the drum in the painting. It's just that the arms are very thick, and at first glance he is a practitioner.

The guards turned his hands upside down and twisted his thumbs together with thin wires. Unless the guy pulls his thumb off, the wire stuck in the joint will tighten and tighten as he struggles. This trick was learned by Yun Xiao from the American army in later generations, and they all did it in Ira 1 gram and Ah Fu, and the effect was very good and the rope was very economical.

Dai Yu stepped forward and asked a few words in Jiangnan dialect, and the guy also said something in a whisper. Yun Xiao listened carefully, and it really meant something like Wu Nong's soft words. However, Dai Yu's communication with him was not successful, as if what this guy said was not exactly the same as what Dai Yu said.

"Master Hou, this guy should be further east of Jiangdu. The accent of Guangling or Huiji, we seem to have such soldiers here. I'll look for a few of them, and then I'll know who they are and where they're coming from. ”

"There you go! Send some scouts out to investigate, and the departments eat quickly. If you can't figure out their brigade, it's not far from us, so I can't be careless. ”

"No" Dai Yu led the order to go out.

The rat brother looked at these people in front of him with a grunt in his eyes, and when he saw the whole body plate armor on Yun Xiao's body. There was a look of adoration and greed on his face.

Yun Xiao looked at him with the same interest, the bronze armor. It seemed to have a patina on the edges, and the armor looked thicker than a pig's ears. It is estimated that this cuirass alone weighs thirty or fifty pounds. If you don't have any muscles, let alone fighting, you just wear this armor and walk around, which is a great test of the body.

The boots are of cowhide, and there is a gold pendant around the neck. The big gold chain was enough to tie the dog, and a big silver earring on the ear fell so that the earlobes fell off and looked not light.

It looks like this guy should be a nobleman, at least the family is also very rich. Otherwise, even if gold and silver were produced in this place, not everyone would have such valuable gold and silver ornaments.

The two guards of the Guild were led in by Dai Yu, and this communication was very successful. Both sides spoke quickly, and Yun Xiao didn't understand a word.

"Master Hou, he said that if he was released. His family will give us ten cows and a hundred sheep. It was also said to exchange twenty women for your armor. ”

The guards couldn't help but laugh as they translated. Yun Xiao's full-body plate armor was the crystallization of the great hammer's painstaking efforts. Not to mention twenty women. I'm afraid that even two thousand women, Hou Ye won't blink.

There was a burst of laughter from the courtyard. The generals all laughed at this guy for not being able to do anything. How could the dignified head of the Yun family take a fancy to these ten cows and a hundred sheep?

"Ask him, what's his name? What identity? Where did it come from? How many people are in their army? Yun Xiao asked a series of questions because he had too many questions in his stomach. Not much is known about this mysterious army. They are so mysterious. It's like something fell from the sky. If it weren't for the fact that the equipment was too rudimentary. Yun Xiao even thought they had crossed over.

The guard who knew how to register communicated with Brother Mouse again. Turning his head to Yun Xiao, he said that he was the son of the Great King City Lord, and his name was Jin Chengen. Sixty miles east from here is the Great King City. He also said that we should surrender quickly. His father had come with an army of 30,000. ”

"Thirty thousand troops!" Listening to the guard's translation, all the generals in the courtyard gasped. Yun Xiao came out this time, and he was full of calculations, even the cooks and men. There are only more than 2,000 in total, but the other party actually has an army of 30,000.

Based on the traces of past battlefields, these armies can also use bows and crossbows proficiently. No matter how good the Yun family's guards were, they faced fifteen times their own strength. The generals are still a little nervous, after all, there is nothing but goshawks here. No one has ever experienced the battle on the bank of the Yellow River, where half a thousand horsemen were struck.

"What's the panic? Scared? Back then, on the banks of the Yellow River, you and I led more than 100 cavalry. Killed 5,000 Wu Chu rebels, and now we have 2,000 men. There are 30,000 of them, and you are afraid? Yun Xiao glanced around at the group of killers under him. The fierce gaze forced the generals to dare not look at Yun Xiao.

"Assemble and get ready to go." Yun Xiao saw that the generals had regained their courage and commanded categorically.

This Zhuangzi is empty, so naturally it can't stay for long. If it is surrounded by the city lord with an army of 30,000, the situation will not be good.

Although the Yun family's guards are brave and experienced in combat, they also have sharp swords and strong armor. However, since there was no logistical carriage, he could only carry some dry food with him. The standard food and straw of the Yun family's guards is two bundles of noodles per person. Plus a half-pound piece of beef jerky, and a bag of biscuits. These are housed in the accompanying gear behind the horse's butt.

With these accompanying supplies, the Yun family's guards could fight for about three days in a place where there was water. If it is besieged here, then it means that as long as the city lord surrounds Yunxiao for three days. The army will be left without food.

If the food made Yun Xiao not worry much, then the situation of the arrows made Yun Xiao worried. The arrows that the Yun family's guards accompanied each person were two pots of sixty bows and arrows, plus twenty crossbow arrows. Bows and arrows fire much faster than crossbow arrows, so there are three times as many as them.

In the past, wherever the Yun family fought, there would be a large group of baggage wagons accompanying them. But this time, there was not a single carriage. In other words, if you consume one arrow in battle, you will lose one arrow.

"Look at what, don't go and purge your subordinates." Dai Yu and Goshawk yelled at the generals. The generals hurried to purge their subordinates and prepare for the evacuation.

"Master Hou, what kind of city lord is out of here. 30,000 people, that guy bluffs us. Goshawk said with some skepticism.

"Anyway, it's right for Hou Ye to let us withdraw from Zhuangzi first. The specialty of the cavalry is mobility, if it is blocked in this Zhuangzi. The consequences are unpredictable, so let's withdraw first. As long as our horses can run, they will be invincible. ”

"Dai Yu is right, after all, there are 30,000 people here, so we can't be careless. Send scouts to the east to reconnoitre, and report back as soon as they find that city lord. ”

"No"

Goshawk and Dai Yu had just sung a promise and were about to send scouts. Several successive second kicking sounds have been heard. Yun Xiao's brows furrowed, it came so quickly! Could it be that the other party's 30,000 people are all this kind of cavalry? Hmph, with the combat power of the Yun family's guards, I am still afraid of them.

"Pass my order, and the whole army will go forward. Arrayed to meet the enemy, I want to see. These guys really fell from the sky. ”

Yun Xiao also made a ruthless move, if he retreated at this time. Although it is said that the whole body retreated, the blow to morale was not small. The enemy army is fifteen times as large as his own, and once the morale is low, the battle will be in the balance.

These days, morale is very important. How many large armies have lost their lives because of low morale. Yun Xiao didn't dare to follow in their footsteps, not to mention that he didn't know the situation of this land. I don't know if there is anyone else waiting for me.

Two thousand black-armored guards rushed out of the village and lined up in the open space outside the village. Rows of black-armored cavalry were like a solid wall, stretching across the road.

The position chosen by Yun Xiao was a slope, and the Yun family's guards stood on a slope. In this way, if the other party rushes over, he can only attack the Yun family's guards. Whether it is the use of bows and arrows, or the cavalry charge, it is very beneficial to the Yun family.

Standing at the top of the slope, Yun Xiao held a telescope and looked into the distance. In the binoculars, a team of soldiers is driving towards Zhuangzi. Looking at the distance, there are still about five miles away, and the equipment of these soldiers is very rudimentary. A large bamboo shield and a spear were all they were equipped with. Behind these soldiers, there were many soldiers with big sticks.

The spear-wielding soldiers had a helmet and bamboo armor. But those soldiers with big sticks only had cloth clothes that could not be simpler.

Behind them were a few crossbowmen, but there didn't seem to be many of them. Yun Xiao is estimated to be only about two or three thousand. It seems that their bow and crossbow popularity is not very high.

The prisoner of war had not yet had time for a detailed interrogation, but only to see the equipment of the soldiers. It is estimated that the combat power is not much better. The five soldiers of the Warring States period, the first of the five soldiers is called Zhen. And this one is actually a big stick, and it's not because it's so powerful. It's because it's simple and practical, easy to manufacture, and has a high penetration rate of equipment. It's really an excellent weapon for home travel, killing people and rebelling to open a film.

According to the ethnicity, these people should belong to the yellow race of East Asia. Rather than being closer to the Caucasians or Arabs, as was the case with the Huns.

Modern research shows that humans came out of Africa. Interestingly, with the direction of people migrating. People's skin color also changes like chameleons.

However, the general rule of thumb is that the further east you go, the more yellow your skin color becomes. The further north and west you go, the lighter your skin tone becomes, and even whiter. Yun Xiao didn't understand the reason for this, but the group of people in front of him was very likely to be our descendants of Huaxia. At least it is also one of the descendants of China.

The army stopped when it was a mile away from the Yun family, and the formation was decent. The cavalry held the left and right flanks, with dense infantry in the middle. At the front row were the crossbowmen, and behind them were the spear-wielding armorers. At the end are those guys with big sticks in their hands, and it is estimated that the generals of the other side also know. Relying on these guys to fight a war is simply not a reliable thing.

To put it up in modern terms, these guys are here to make soy sauce. (To be continued......)
