Traveler Major League

Chapter 61

Hearing Li Dianli's words, Deputy Liang Qianhu gradually felt uneasy. He reined in his horse and immediately issued a military order: "Order to stop advancing! Prepare for battle!"

With the low sound of the horn, this is the signal of the enemy.

All the guards walking in the forefront stopped advancing. First, the small flags converged to their respective general flag teams, and then the two general flags were merged together, commanded by a hundred households.

Nearly 200 soldiers formed two square hundred-household formations, with more than 40 relatives led by Deputy Liang Qianhu in the middle, and the other two square formations were arranged on the left and right. This is the most commonly used formation in the Ming army. One, it can be attacked and defended, and it is most suitable for defense.

Seen from a distance, the land looks like a mosaic at this time, with personnel moving back and forth, forming an army formation that is roughly intimidating, but the details are still uneven and are constantly being fine-tuned. , Xiaoqi yelled back and forth, and the further confusion was stopped.

Those yamen servants and Ding Zhuang who followed at the end were very strange to see the soldiers lined up. They all stretched their necks and widened their eyes. Because there was no order, they all piled up on the left and right. Standing on the ground, I don't know why.

Someone in the yamen said, "Look, what's wrong with those soldiers?"

"The thief is here? Didn't you watch?"

"I guess the scouts in front encountered bandits, didn't you listen to the trumpets?"

Li Dianli saw that the people he brought were in disarray and were still gossiping there, he took a deep breath and felt ashamed, so he waved his hands and shouted to his subordinates: "Come on! Check the mountain ridges on both sides and the opposite village!"

There was still no movement in the crowd, the big guys looked at each other in blank dismay, but they just couldn't come out, and each of them huddled and leaned back, just like being called by the teacher in class.Disappointed, Li Dianli had no choice but to point to the few people standing in front and shout: "You guys go to the front, you guys go to the mountain ridge on the left, you guys go to the mountain ridge on the right, go quickly! Don't dawdle!"

The dozen or so people who were pointed out muttered, still hesitantly and reluctantly, but seeing Li Dianli's eyebrows that were about to rise and his fists that were half clenched, no matter how scared they were, they could only bear it. When they trotted to the front for some reconnaissance, deputy Liang Qianhu who was standing aside suddenly stopped them.

"Master Li, these yamen servants you bring, the young men don't even have horses, so how can we go to the front for reconnaissance? Why don't I send people there? The soldiers under my command are all brave and good at fighting, and they have plans. Sending them to reconnaissance will definitely be a good idea." Get twice the result with half the effort."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Liang's soldiers are all elites. If you send them to scout, I will definitely rest assured." Li Dianli said with a smile, but the smile froze on his face. It seems strange to others.

The people's army ambushing in various houses in Baimugou Village also caused a riot when they heard the trumpets.

"Master, why are you blowing the horn outside?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" The wrinkled man was listening to the movement outside, "Who is listening to the suona?"

"No, are you listening?"

"Me neither."

The light in the house was dim, and a crowd of people squatted at the foot of the wall by the window, you were next to me, and I was next to you. When they heard the question, everyone put their heads together and looked at each other, but they couldn't tell why. .

The man with the wrinkled face looked at the deserted path outside the window again, and muttered: "Why isn't this guy surnamed Liu bragging about it? I was so anxious to wait. A jogger came over just now, but fortunately he didn't come in, otherwise we would all have to exposed."

Suddenly someone whispered softly: "Boss Zhang is here!"

There was a knocking on the door.

"Open the door!"

Wrinkled face heard the sound and knew that it was Boss Zhang. Although they were in two villages, they had been in contact with each other for many years, and they were very familiar with each other. Wrinkled face nodded towards a thin young man by the window, The young man immediately understood the meaning and ran to the door to open it.

With a creak, just as the door bolt was removed, a man with a burly figure that could block half of the door came in.

"Boss Zhang, why are you here?" The wrinkled face asked strangely. Both of them were ambushed by Liu Zefen in this village, but one was at the head of the village and the other was at the end of the village. Should have stayed where the ambush was.

"Why am I here? I just don't feel at ease. The court officers and soldiers are all riding horses so fast, why isn't Commander Shi Laozi blowing the horn?" As soon as Boss Zhang came in, there were clever subordinates immediately. After closing the door, Boss Zhang took a few steps to the side of the wrinkled face, and also stretched his head to look out the window.

The Ming army was still forming an array outside, and occasionally a few secret sentries sneaked up to the nearby mountain ridges to scout, looked left and right, and didn't know if they saw anything.

Boss Zhang and wrinkled face looked engrossed there, while the dozens of people in the room were crowded together, standing and looking at the only window with light, listening to the conversation of the two bosses with their voices held.

"I don't think it's better to go out and have a look. I guess this Liu is unreliable!"

"What?"

"What's the matter? As far as you are honest, this guy surnamed Liu looks gentle and like a scholar. People in my village peek at his hair under his hat! I said he has no hair on his mouth. I don't know if he has committed a crime." What's the matter, you don't look like a good person, I heard it's a serious crime of treason!"

"What's wrong with him not being a good guy? We also killed some rich local landlords with him! If you don't follow him, how can you break into the county town and open a warehouse to release grain?"

"It's not a big deal for us. When the time comes, the government's appeasement and appeasement will be over. Look at that Liu who is surnamed every day agitating to kill officials and rebel. At that time, we will not be suppressed by the army sent by the imperial court!"

A young man next to him interjected: "Uncle Zhang, aren't we going to fight the army now? Why are you afraid of this?"

"Fart, these are all soldiers of the guard. The soldiers of the guard are rotten to the core, and only a few dozen servants can fight them. What I'm afraid of is that in the future, the frontier army, battalion soldiers, and guest troops will be mobilized to suppress them. People don't blink when they come, and even if there are no bandits, they will kill their heads for rewards!"

"How do you know?" Another young man interjected.

"I was once, cut off the head of a Tatar, but promoted to a higher level, plus 20 taels of silver, if you don't want to be an official, you can get 50 taels of silver. If you want to suppress us, less is less, but there is also silver rewards! "

"Huh? Why so much money? I want to be a soldier too!"

"I'm going too."

A big hand came over, and Boss Zhang resented iron and steel to teach the group of little kids a lesson: "Bah, think about that good thing, you can't get much money if you have a reward, and you have to be filial to the superior, besides, we are thieves now!"

L.

There was a sonorous and powerful suona sound that cracked rocks and flowed clouds.

"Ji Xiao's New Book Wu Bei Zhi" says: "Whoever plays the flute is playing the suona."

The trumpet, the suona, and the tune are small and big.The official boats come and go in such a mess, it all depends on your value.

The army has heard that the army is worried, and the people have heard that the people are afraid. Where can they distinguish between true and false?
Seeing that it blows over this house and hurts that house, it only blows the water to the ground and the geese fly away.

"Let's go, kill out! Kill officials and grab food!"

The whole village suddenly boiled up, and people emerged from every house, holding various miscellaneous utensils, like a pot of hot oil frying.
