35 went out to investigate

(Today's third update is presented, today's big outbreak, please like this book friends click to collect and subscribe.) Thank you!!! ）

After waiting and waiting in the cottage after Li Zixiao, he finally received the news from Han Tong yesterday, telling Li Zixiao that the officers and soldiers of Suiyangwei had arrived in Yongcheng County.

Then Li Zixiao ordered all the scouts outside to pay close attention to the officers and soldiers and villagers outside Yongcheng County, presumably they will make a move soon.

Sure enough, early this morning, Han Tong hurried back to the cottage, and as soon as he entered the cottage, he immediately reported to Li Zixiao: "The officers and soldiers and villagers outside Yongcheng County have moved.

This morning, the officers and soldiers outside Yongcheng County and a large number of villagers have left Yongcheng County and are coming to our side.

However, they are walking very slowly, according to their marching speed, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach our mountain pass until tomorrow, Captain Liu asked me to come back in advance to report to the big boss, and ask the big boss to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”.

Li Zixiao didn't know why, this time he heard Han Tong say that the officers and soldiers were coming, but he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's finally here."

Lao Tzu received news from you a week ago, saying that the officers and soldiers of Suiyang Wei had called, but seven or eight days have passed, and they have not yet reached our mountain pass, and this speed is really comparable to a turtle. ”

Seeing Li Zixiao's relaxed face, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, in the past few days, the cottage has been very nervous, and they have been practicing hard every day, and at the same time they have to make various preparations for engagement.

"Tell me about the equipment of the officers and soldiers and the villagers this time!" After Li Zixiao learned the news of the imminent arrival of the enemy army, he immediately asked Han Tong.

"There are about 700 officers and soldiers, and the news that Xiao inquired about before is basically the same, it is indeed from the Weisuo army of Suiyang Wei, and the leader is a thousand households named Liu Jinbao.

The equipment of these officers and soldiers is really not very good, there are less than 60 real armored soldiers, and the rest are wearing tattered mandarin duck battle jackets and weapons, which can only be said to be disorganized, and there are all kinds of weapons, mostly spears and broadswords.

But what is really troublesome is that this time the officers and soldiers of Suiyang Wei actually brought four artillery pieces, which were pulled by cars, which were not easy to deal with, and there seemed to be some rockets, I am afraid that it would be difficult to entangle.

There are also some people among the officers and soldiers who hold three-eyed guns, and it seems that there are also people who hold bird guns, because they are far away, and the small ones don't see so really, and no matter how much they can't tell, they can't tell clearly, but they, like us, have a small musket team.

As for the group of villagers, I can't say anything, you haven't seen them in the big boss, the marching scene is chaotic enough, just like a big set of people who died, and they have everything.

The subordinates observed these people marching from a distance this morning, and saw a very funny scene, some of them actually walked, and the two groups of people fought.

If it weren't for the pressure of the officers and soldiers of Suiyang Guard, these guys would have killed each other, hehe, I really laughed to death. ”

Han Tong seriously, 1510 told all the enemy situation he observed, without falling behind.

When Li Zixiao and his subordinates heard this, they all laughed, although these villagers were outnumbered, they really expected that they were completely a rabble.

There are already great contradictions between each other, and no one obeys anyone, let alone wants to listen to anyone, so it's really strange if they don't mess up.

So Li Zixiao immediately waved his hand and ordered: "In this case, cancel today's training plan and let the brothers have a good rest."

Training should also pay attention to relaxation, tomorrow is about to fight, let them rest for a day today, recuperate, tomorrow we will entertain the group of uninvited guys.

Stone, lead me to the horse, Han Tong will take us to Liu Chong, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of mess those guys are. ”

The officers under Li Zixiao responded to the order and rushed to the school yard one after another, loudly giving the order to rest.

Teams of soldiers and recruits cheered as they were taken off the school grounds by their respective commanders, and then disbanded on the spot, allowing them to go down to rest and recuperate.

Qian Guangyuan heard that Li Zixiao was going to go out of the cottage in person to observe the enemy's situation, and immediately objected, he thought that it was too dangerous to do so, and at this time Li Zixiao was burdened with the life and death of more than 600 people in the cottage.

Li Zixiao is the soul of this team, and there must be no accident, once Li Zixiao has an accident, it is estimated that it is difficult to say whether so many of his subordinates can carry this hurdle.

"Mr. Wenrun, don't worry, I'm going to meet Liu Chong, I won't act alone, and with Liu Chong and Shi by my side, I'll be fine."

Li Zixiao turned over and jumped on the war horse that Quartz brought him, followed Han Tong, took five or six personal guards including Quartz, opened the gate and rushed out.

Now after a period of training, Li Zixiao can now ride a horse, and his riding skills are not good, but at least riding a horse is no longer a problem.

Moreover, Li Zixiao asked people to pick out a gentle and easy-to-control horse for him among the many horses, so that after Li Zixiao rode it, he didn't have to worry about being taken off the horse by the war horse.

Although Han Tong has accumulated some experience as a scout, after all, he was born in farming before, and his vision is not wide enough, so it is no problem to count the number of people, but there are many details that cannot be explained.

Especially this time, a large number of officers and soldiers came, and Han Tong had never seen many things in terms of equipment, so Li Zixiao was not at ease, so he planned to join Liu Chong to see what was going on in person.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, this is also Li Zixiao's caution.

After Li Zixiao and his entourage left the cottage on horseback, they left on the dirt road, and it only took less than an hour for them to ride a horse for twenty or thirty miles.

"Big boss, why are you here in person?" When Liu Chong saw Li Zixiao coming out of the village in person, he was also surprised.

"Haha, Lao Tzu came out to see what our 'guests' looked like, so that I, the host, would know how to entertain them next!"

Li Zixiao laughed and said very calmly.

Liu Chong felt sincere admiration for Li Zixiao's attitude that remained unchanged before the war, and said to Li Zixiao with his fists cupped: "This group of officers and soldiers and Xiangyong are still on the way.

I've been sending people to wait for them, and if I want to see them up close, I need to get my brothers. Pick a suitable spot in advance, and you can wait. ”

After Liu Zhong listened to Li Zixiao's words, he knew what Li Zixiao was going to do this trip, so he beckoned the two scouts and asked them to go down.

Li Zixiao took advantage of this moment to talk with Liu Chong, asking him what he thought of this attack by officers and soldiers and a large number of villagers, and talking to each other about how to fight the next battle.

Soon, the two scouts sent by Liu Chong finally returned, and Liu Chong said to Li Zixiao: "Let's go, big boss, I will take you to a good position where you can observe these 'guests' up close, both safely and closely." ”

Li Zixiao followed Liu Chong and continued to ride south for more than ten minutes, and Liu Chong led him to a hillside, and below this hillside was the only road leading to the area where their cottage was located.

The hillside is very steep, and it is difficult for people to climb up, Liu Chong seems to have deliberately asked people to find this position, so that they can clearly see the crowd passing directly below.

Li Zixiao and Liu Zhong were waiting here, and Han Tong, who was exploring the road in front, quickly ran back and told Li Zixiao that the officers and soldiers and Xiang Yong were less than two miles away from them.

"What a bunch of fools, such a big operation, not even a scout was sent out, so that we could get close to their range of less than two miles, this person who led the troops really didn't seem to be ordinary stupid!"

After listening to Han Tong's words, Liu Chong immediately sneered at the thousand households who led the troops this time, and said very disdainfully.

Li Zixiao also laughed, the hearts of the thousands of adults who led the troops this time were too big, and it was really as Liu Chong said, until they arrived here, they didn't send scouts, and went to his White Snake Village to investigate first.

However, they think so, and maybe they also think that they are just a bunch of bandits, a rabble.

The two thousand of them went to deal with the poles of five or six hundred people, and they were not ready to be captured, and they still needed to send scouts, Liu Jinbao did not believe that Li Zixiao dared to send people to ambush their team of two thousand people.

"Get off the horse, Han Tong is optimistic about these horses, hide in the ravine on the side first, and wait for us to come back!" Li Zixiao turned over and jumped off the war horse, twisted his waist and commanded Han Tong.

Although he has been learning to ride a horse for a while, he is still not used to riding a horse, and the inner side of these two thighs is grinding from the saddle, and both legs are a little looped after getting off the horse.

The quartz lantern guards who followed Li Zixiao also dismounted, handed over the war horses to Han Tong, and the scouts hid them, and Han Tong led the horses into a ditch next to them and tied them to the war horses.

And Li Zixiao immediately took Liu Chong, Quartz and others, climbed the steep hill quickly, hid in a bush, and quietly waited for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.

"Here we are.".

Soon, Li Zixiao and the others saw a large group of people appear at the bottom of the hillside, and they saw that the road below the slope less than 100 meters away from them was bustling with people in different costumes.

Led by a group of officers and soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets, but the mandarin duck battle jackets of these officers and soldiers were worn out and faded very badly, without the slightest sense of majesty, and the team walked quite messily.

Among them, there were also some vehicles with tents and food bags and other supplies, and the equipment was also very disorganized, and they were relatively close, so they could see all this.

However, some others are far away, they still can't see clearly, but unfortunately Li Zixiao doesn't have a telescope in his hand at the moment, if there is that thing, it will be of great help for such a reconnaissance operation.

But even so, after a preliminary look, Li Zixiao and others can conclude that the equipment level of this team of officers and soldiers is actually not much better.

Even compared with the equipment of their cottage at this time, it is a lot worse, in short, there are people with any weapons, all kinds of weapons, Li Zixiao dares to guarantee that those weapons are definitely not officially configured.

However, Li Zixiao found that the biggest threat came from a group of archers among the officers and soldiers, the number of which was about fifty or sixty.

If these archers were allowed to fire a salvo at his men, it would cause a lot of damage to his own side, so Li Zixiao deliberately paid attention to the archers in these imperial court officers.

The number of officers and soldiers in this group with spears was not very large, and the overall proportion was less than 30 percent, and most of the officers and men only carried a worn and rusty broadsword, and some officers and soldiers were armed with boring, palladium, and broadswords, and the proportion of rattan players was about 60 or 70.

Li Zixiao also saw some officers and soldiers carrying muskets, and there were only about 30 people when they were counted carefully, of which more than 20 people were holding three-eyed guns, and the rest were holding bird guns.

In addition, there are more than 30 officers and men on horseback, who are estimated to be the main force of this group of officers and men, and are probably the family members of the officers at the head of the group.

What really caught Li Zixiao's attention was the things on the several big cars accompanying the official army, and after Li Zixiao looked at it carefully, Li Zixiao could be sure that the four cars were carrying the artillery that Han Tong said.

So Li Zixiao whispered to Liu Chong, who was lying next to him, and asked, "Liu Chong, do you see those cars, can you see what kind of artillery those big cars are equipped with?" ”

Liu Zhong also noticed these carts loaded with artillery at this time, and after carefully distinguishing them, he frowned and replied, "It's a little troublesome."

The first two cars were equipped with Furlong fast guns, the last two vehicles were equipped with Tiger squat guns, and the last cars seemed to be equipped with Hundred Tiger Cavalry Rockets.

I didn't expect this group of officers and soldiers to bring these things, now we are in big trouble, if they use these things when attacking our cottage, it will pose a big threat to us.

Especially these artillery, as well as those Hundred Tiger salvo rockets, if they fight against us in formation, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss. ”.

When Li Zixiao heard Liu Chong's solemn words, he also felt that his scalp was a little numb, he knew what it was when a hundred tigers were rushing arrows.

It was a cluster rocket with great lethality equipped by the Ming army, but these were one of the big killing weapons that the Ming army's border army was equipped with in large quantities.

There are also the fast guns of the Furlong machine, which are the relatively mature main firearms equipped by the Ming army, and the lethality of this thing against cluster targets at close range is very terrifying.

Li Zixiao never thought that these officers and soldiers would even bring these things, I have to say that there are still some good things in the hands of these officers and soldiers, and Li Zixiao is greedy for these firearms and rockets alone.

Li Zixiao was silent, his eyes looked past the group of officers and soldiers, and continued to look behind, and the people who followed the officers and soldiers were much more disorganized.

And from the point of view of the flags, it is even more mixed, some flags have a Zhou character written on them, some flags have Korean characters written on them, and some have Sun characters written on them, and groups of large and small teams walk together separately, guarding each other against other teams. 、
