Chapter 186 Greeting the Lord
"Gan Cunxiao escapes, wait for the white sail water thief to listen, and quickly open the gate of the water village to welcome us in." Zheng Bao drove away all his thoughts and shouted at the top of his voice.

Gao Zhiyuan standing on the female wall was unmoved, as if he was watching a clown.

With the help of firelight, quickly count the soldiers and water thieves around Zheng Bao.

Seeing that the number was only about five hundred, I immediately settled down in my heart.

Zheng Bao's face sank, and he shouted loudly: "Do you want to disobey orders?"

"Go back, this is not the place you should come to," Gao Zhiyuan said loudly, his tone unquestionable.

The anger in Zheng Bao's heart soared instantly, and he pointed the sharp sword in his hand forward: "Shuizhai is empty and dare to resist."

"Pass down the order, after capturing this stronghold, kill all of them," Zheng Bao yelled, trying to cover up the ominousness in his heart.

Hundreds of Zheng's family soldiers shouted violently in unison: "Kill, don't leave a single one behind"

Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward and rushed towards the gate of the water village.

Gao Zhiyuan saw the confident expressions on the corners of the mouths of nearly [-] soldiers below.

"Arrow"

A white sail water thief pointed the bow and crossbow in his hand downwards, and then launched an attack.

shhhhhh...

Arrows rained down.

A series of damage values ​​exploded above the heads of hundreds of Zheng's family soldiers.

Looking ahead, Gao Zhiyuan raised his arms.

The gate of the water stronghold opened suddenly, and two hundred first-rank white sail water thieves rode their horses to meet them.

Zheng Bao's face darkened, he didn't expect Baifan Water Village to be so arrogant, and he took the initiative to attack even though the troops were insufficient.

Forget it, since they want to die, they will be fulfilled.

The war horse neighed and ran over with dozens of soldiers behind it.

stomping on...

The dense sound of horseshoes sounded from behind, and a soldier of Zheng's family shouted at the top of his voice: "Patriarch, the soldiers and horses who stayed behind in the Elang Water Village have turned their backs!"

"What?" Zheng Bao couldn't help being startled, his expression flustered.

Banners whistled against the wind in the night, howling from the north.

Gao Zhiyuan took the opportunity to shout: "Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Kill" two hundred white sail pirates roared in unison.

All the soldiers of Zheng's family hurriedly turned around and looked to the north, they couldn't help being surprised.

In the front, there is a white sail water village that cannot be captured, and in the back, there is an unknown number of huge enemy troops.Once a pincer attack is formed, how to resist it under the night? .

"Patriarch, what should we do?" A family soldier asked Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao recovered from the astonishment of the crowd, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "Withdraw, withdraw from Ruxukou and make a long-term plan."

"No," the soldier shouted his orders.

Dozens of family soldiers followed behind Zheng Bao and shouted in unison: "Patriarch has orders, withdraw to Ruxukou!"

All the soldiers of Zheng's family also came to their senses one after another, and hurriedly ran wildly.

However, it was too late.

The evil waves roaring from the north had arrived, and Jia Nian led more than [-] soldiers and horses to pass through the battle ground.

The place was in chaos, and in addition to being in the night, countless Zheng's family soldiers fell into panic.

"withdraw"

Seeing this, Zheng Bao was very anxious, and led dozens of soldiers, shouting at the top of his voice.

The sound was covered by the sound of swords and soldiers, and lost the effect it should have.

"Patriarch, please evacuate quickly," a family soldier shouted.

Dozens of family soldiers urged in unison: "The head of the family, please evacuate quickly."

"Go" Zheng Bao took a deep look at the family soldiers who were in a daze, endured grief and turned around, and led dozens of family soldiers to run wildly all the way.

Just after Zheng Bao left, a loud voice resounded here.

"The mayor has an order, those who surrender will not be killed"

The sound spread in all directions, followed by the sound of weapons falling to the ground.

The torches illuminated the front of the water village like daylight, and all the soldiers of the Zheng family fell to their knees.

Surrounded by all the white sail pirates and Changhe town soldiers, Jia Nian walked towards the surrendered soldiers, with a smile on his lips.

"Welcome to the Lord!" At the gate of the water village, Gao Zhiyuan shouted.

All the white sail pirates shouted in unison: "Welcome to the mayor!"

The five hundred surrendered soldiers were startled, and hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Take away the weapons and push them into the water village," Jia Nian ordered loudly.

All the white sail water thieves shouted: "No!"

Then he walked towards the Zheng family soldiers who were kneeling on the ground.

"My lord, do you need to pursue?" Gao Zhiyuan walked towards Jia Nian and proposed to him.

Jia Nian thought for a while: "Yanqing"

"In" Tang Yanqing shouted.

Jia Nian ordered: "You lead the staff of the headquarters and a hundred white sail pirates and a hundred evil wave pirates to follow all the way. If Fatty Guo succeeds, return immediately, otherwise, you will help."

"No," Tang Yanqing roared.

Then with a wave of his hand, he led more than two hundred people, got on his horse and galloped away.

Looking at the backs of more than two hundred people going away, Gao Zhiyuan smiled heartily: "My lord, the general situation has been decided."

"Thanks to your plan." Jia Nian got off his horse and sighed to Gao Zhiyuan.

Gao Zhiyuan saluted solemnly: "This is all about Master Hong Fu, and my subordinates just raised some trivial opinions."

"Why should you be so modest?" Jia Nian said, "If you hadn't mentioned something from the side, how would I have known that these soldiers from Zheng's family surrendered so easily?"

"This is all Zheng Bao's own doing," Gao Zhiyuan explained.

Jia Nian's mood became brighter: "Tibetan soldiers and thieves seem to be a wonderful strategy, but I don't want to lose righteousness and lose people's hearts."

"If they go smoothly, there will be no disadvantages. But once they encounter setbacks, more than a thousand bandits will flee without any loyalty," Jia Nian said.

Then a sense of pride rose in his heart: "What's the use of such bandit soldiers?"

This may also be one of the reasons why Zheng Bao failed in history.

Otherwise, how could Liu Ye accomplish such a feat by himself.

He secretly warned in his heart that Zheng Bao's mistake must not be repeated on his own body.

What is raised in the hands is a regular army, not a thief.

"Dare to ask my lord, can more than a thousand people be supported by the Zheng family of Chao County?" Gao Zhiyuan asked suddenly.

Jia Nian was dumbfounded.

There are only 150 soldiers in Changhe Town, and half of them are surrendered water thieves.

But even so, the consumption of these soldiers was enough for Changhe Town.

If you raise thousands of people, the consumption will be like a mountain like a sea.

"The living expenses of an ordinary soldier are 8000 yuan a year, and the salary is about 4000 yuan. The burial fee for an ordinary soldier is about 3000 yuan, and the pension for generals ranges from 10 to 60 gold, plus the purchase of horses, armor, weapons..."

Gao Zhiyuan spoke slowly, and then changed the topic: "But if we let them become water thieves, we only need to spend a small amount of money to raise those big and small bosses, and then we can get a band of thieves. Therefore, what Zheng Bao did has nothing to do with it." It’s not thick, it’s just being clever and being misunderstood by cleverness.”

"You want me to keep raising bandit soldiers?" Jia Nian asked.

Gao Zhiyuan nodded: "Raise a bandit army, such as the Yellow Turban Army"

"Fatty Guo?" Jia Nian said.

Gao Zhiyuan explained: "Now the lord occupies Chaohu Lake. Although the land in Chaohu Lake is fertile, it is the limit to raise thousands of soldiers."

"So it's better to raise bandit soldiers in Ruxukou," Gao Zhiyuan said with a pun.

Jia Nian thought slowly: "Let Fatty Guo raise bandit soldiers"

The heart beat violently, and Jia Nian fell into deep thought.
