It is said that Yang Peng's brothers attacked from all sides and beat the master to death with random punches. More than 20 Khitan soldiers and a dozen small foremen basically didn't make any trouble, and were caught in one fell swoop. In particular, Yin Mingde's unexpected attack marked the end of this short battle. Seeing Cheng Shijie coming to report the results of the battle, Yang Peng nodded slightly, and then said: "What are you looking at me for? The enemy's corpses have been moved aside, what's the matter with leaving them all white and white? Everyone is big Girl, do you know? Then divide all the trophies into two parts and lay them out!"
"There is no need to divide it into two parts, these should all be yours!" At this moment, the Feiyan heroine came behind Yang Peng and whispered: "If you didn't come to help, I don't know what the final result would have been. What a pity that my three little sisters were beaten to death by the Khitan!"
"Flying Swallow Heroes, there will be sacrifices in war!" Yang Peng heard that three beautiful little girls died in the battle, and he nodded sadly and said: "The sisters who sacrificed are all our heroes! We must live as long as we are alive. Be stronger and avenge them! This is not a place to stay for a long time, we must move quickly. The spoils are half of the family, you don’t have to refuse! I will take the crossbow with me!"
Yang Peng clasped his hands and said, "See you later!" "Hey, wait!" Feiyan heroine saw Yang Peng turn and leave, and quickly shouted: "My grandfather is in Yingzhou, and he wants to see you! In addition, there are 23 people here Coolie, take it away! I'm not in the mood to deal with it!" Yang Peng turned around and clasped his fists and said, "Please tell your grandfather that I will definitely go to Yingzhou City. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit! Liu Zhiliang, take those Brother workers, take them away and move them quickly!"
By the time Yang Peng and the others returned to their base, it was already midnight. After working hard for more than five days, everyone simply ate something and then fell asleep. Yang Peng did not blame these brothers, so he had to cheer up and stand guard outside the cave. Yang Peng didn't have anything to worry about. After all, there were no survivors left, and the Khitan people wouldn't be able to find any clues in a short period of time. Besides, the Song Dynasty still ruled the world, and the Khitan people did not dare to blatantly launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign. However, it is an iron rule to set up sentries in the camp. Now these brothers have not really become soldiers and can only educate them slowly.
When it was daylight, Cheng Shijie came out of the cave. Looking up, I saw Yang Peng holding a hand crossbow, standing like a benchmark at the sentry post 100 meters outside the cave, with dew on his clothes. His face suddenly flushed and turned red to the base of his neck! Arriving in front of Yang Peng, Cheng Shijie raised his hand and saluted: "Soldier Cheng Shijie is here to pick up the guard!"
Yang Peng raised his hand in return, handed over the long bow and arrow in his hand and said: "There were no special circumstances last night, but you can't be careless. You must pay attention to the vigilance and let the brothers rest for a while!" Yang Peng was not an iron man, and he didn't sleep well for six days and nights. , you won’t be able to bear it either. After returning to the cave, I fell asleep with my head covered and didn't wake up completely until the sun turned westward in the afternoon.
As soon as he came out of the cave, Bai Shujie saw 23 workers standing in two rows, practicing military postures on the flat ground. Zhang Xiang stood behind them and stared while Cheng Shijie led the team members to practice archery. "What's going on? Are you ready now?" Yang Peng walked to Zhang Xiang and asked softly: "Don't you want to leave? We can't force others! People will die in the war. If others don't want to participate, just do it as soon as possible. Let them go!"
"Where do I want them to practice?" Zhang Xiang shook his head and said, "After getting up today, they asked me for training. They all said they wanted to take revenge on those foremen!" Yang Peng felt sour in his heart when he looked at these skinny workers. I had to ask softly: "Is there any problem with their health? They just came out of the iron mine. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on. You have to be careful! Take your time and don't be in a hurry."
Let's talk about the Khitan independent garrison in Xintun, Yingzhou. After the squad leader Xiqi lost a patrol team, he launched a large-scale search centered on Yingzhou. Unexpectedly, they were attacked in a dense forest in the mountainous area south of Yingzhou City and lost two more teams. After post-mortem inspection, it was found that all three teams were killed by cold weapons. In order to recover the losses and give an explanation to his superiors, Xi Qi visited the owners of Youzhou Iron Mine. I learned from the mine owner that the iron mine has recently encountered great difficulties in recruiting workers. Almost none of the people sent out by the big foreman came back. According to folklore, there is a flying swallow girl causing trouble.
"Xi Qi, we should unite and teach the ignorant people of the Song Dynasty a lesson!" Xi Qi suggested to Ma Linqi: "Your foreman team and my guard team unite to arrest that flying swallow heroine. ! Only in this way can the Youzhou Iron Mine provide more high-quality iron ore to the Liao Kingdom." The two Khitan dogs hit it off immediately, so they set a big trap. Unexpectedly, the Feiyan heroine was actually fooled. If Yang Peng hadn't been alert enough, the consequences would have been difficult to predict. Of course, if Fei Yanzi hadn't been fooled, it would have been Yang Peng who fell into the trap and it was unclear whether he could get up. The so-called coincidence of circumstances, wrong in and wrong out, is nothing more than this.
In fact, these two incidents basically have nothing to do with the Feiyan heroine. It's a pity that the Khitans didn't know Yang Peng's existence, so the Feiyan heroine was inadvertently plotted and suffered an unreasonable disaster in Yang Peng's place. It's just that none of the three parties understand it.
In the next two months in the cave, Yin Mingde and Zhou Dahai targeted the crossbow. Yang Peng had no choice but to organize the two of them into a crossbow group for special training. The 23 new workers had basically completed basic training. After careful consideration, Bai Shujie decided to break up the team and reorganize it: the powerful crossbows of this period had been greatly developed in the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty, which focused on infantry, regarded them as a way to fight against the northern cavalry. A weapon of the nation. Crossbowmen mostly used stepped crossbows and used three groups of repeated shots. The invention of the 'God Arm Bow' enabled the Song Army's effective range to reach 370 meters. There are many types of bed crossbows, from two-bow to four-bow, from small to giant. Two-bed and three-bed bows can also have an iron bag with dozens of ordinary arrows tied to the string, giving the bed crossbow the ability to kill people and horses. Function.
Correspondent, 1 person, Shi Liancheng, 1 hand crossbow, strong crossbow team: 2 people, Yin Mingde, Zhou Dayong, 2 hand crossbows. One team (12 people): Captain Zhang Xiang, deputy captain Zhan Jin Guo, 10 team members. Second team (12 people): Captain Cheng Shijie, deputy captain Zhang Yan, 10 team members. Team 3 (12 people): Captain Duan Zhixian, vice-captain Liu Zhiliang, 10 members. Cooking class (over 38 years old): class leader Xiong Zhaode, 3 people in total.
The total number of people after reorganization is 43, which is barely enough for a small team. Among them, the first and second teams have 1 hand crossbow, 10 Khitan longbows, and 7 leather kettles; the third team has 1 hand crossbow, 8 Khitan longbows, 2 Song longbows, and 7 leather kettles. There are 1 strong crossbow in the strong crossbow group and 1 crossbow in the cooking squad.
After the reorganization was completed, Yang Peng began to have a headache. Because it has already entered October, it is starting to get a little cold at night. Winter is coming soon, and there are no winter clothes now. Although 41 sets of clothes were seized and Yang Peng got some plant dyes to re-dye them, they were all summer clothes. "I don't have winter clothes. Are the Khitan people all intact and don't need supplies?" Yang Peng paced back and forth in the cave, planning how to solve the problem of winter clothes for his brothers: "Shi Liancheng, call Cheng Shijie!"
Cheng Shijie ran into the cave and shouted: "Brother, what do you want from me?" "Last time you said you saw a transport truck on the road, what happened?" Bai Shujie said softly: "I want you and Duan Zhixian to lead Two people go out and follow the railway south to find out what's going on in Khitan and see if there's any chance of doing something on the main road."
"Okay, I'll go with Liu Zhiliang." Cheng Shijie nodded and said, "Forget it about Duan Zhixian. Liu Zhiliang used to be a shopkeeper, so he and I are more compatible. However, I need to borrow two hundred taels of silver. Let's do some business this time. Hahaha!" After Cheng Shijie left, Yang Peng suddenly thought of an important issue in his mind, that is, the source of information. Without intelligence, how can we talk about fighting? Even if gangsters are fighting and causing trouble in the street, one or two people still need to inform them, let alone a battle of life and death on the battlefield!
Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished with good intentions. Engaging in intelligence is, to put it bluntly, being a spy. Oh, there are also people called underground workers. Since it is an underground business, it cannot be exposed to the light. Yang Peng considered everyone around him, but none of them seemed suitable. This can only be considered in the long term, there is no point in rushing.
Looking at the training of more than 40 people on the playground, Yang Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In my mind, I often see those talented people forming thousands of troops at every turn. I am only a small team of 50 people, and eating, drinking, and peeing makes them annoying to death." If I had known it would be such a troublesome thing, it would be better to go it alone and just do it if I want to. The troops and horses have not yet used the food and fodder. The ancients are sincere and I will not bully you!"
It's true to say that more than 40 people exercise a lot every day, and they are all great guys. If they were open to eating, each person would have had at least one catty and two taels of grain, which would be sixty catties a day and one thousand eight hundred catties a month. The three thousand kilograms of grain that we had finally purchased before was enough for half a year based on the original number of people. Now that the number of people has suddenly doubled, the gap is huge. The few hundred taels of silver given to him by his master Lin Qing'er were almost gone. They only plundered less than two hundred taels of silver from the man in black, so it was of no use.
Fortunately, nine days later, Cheng Shijie and Liu Zhiliang rushed back after a long journey. Seeing that they were in high spirits, Li Xu guessed that there would be some good news, so he quickly pulled them into the cave to understand the situation. By the way, Yang Peng pulled Cheng Shijie and Liu Zhiliang into the cave. Liu Zhiliang started talking a lot before his buttocks even touched the stool.
It turned out that Cheng Shijie and Liu Zhiliang ran to the Huolianzhai market town over there to follow the caravan, and then arrived in Mozhou and stayed there for a day. The next day, we went to Youzhou City with the caravan, focusing on the last commodities escorted by the Khitan army. After inquiring, it was found that the goods escorted by the Khitan army were to be sent to Luanzhou. The two men quickly changed their clothes and left, following him all the way to Luanzhou. Finally, I saw where the Khitans were unloading goods from the iron mine in Luanzhou. It should be some logistical supplies.
"Brother, many people in Youzhou are saying that Xiqi made a big mistake and was severely punished by his immediate boss in Youzhou. Some people also said that Xiqi was beaten like a pig's head." Liu Zhiliang drank. After taking a few sips of water, he continued: "I heard that a batch of supplies will be delivered soon. I think this is our opportunity."
After Liu Zhiliang finished speaking, Yang Peng asked: "Is there no one to protect the Khitan caravan?" "Four Khitan soldiers accompanied them to protect them, but they were all in the last batch of carriages and did not stay in the front. In the carriage." Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "Nothing happened along the way. The four Khitan soldiers kept sleeping with their long bows in their arms. Every time they arrived at a market town, the four Khitan soldiers went down to look at the seals of the carriage."
"You have worked hard, go down and have a rest!" Yang Peng sent the two of them away and fell into deep thought alone. Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, Yang Peng set out the next day with a sword on his back, two guns on his body, and four generals: Cheng Shijie, Liu Zhiliang, Duan Zhixian, and Shi Liancheng. What are you doing, checking the terrain! It is not difficult to rob the transport team, but the difficult part is how to transport the materials. If this thing doesn't have an overall plan, it's just nonsense.
After a day's trek, Bai Shujie and his party of five arrived at Linsheng Fort. Then we went south from Yingzhou to Youzhou, passing Honglingbao and Shili River, and inspected the topography and landforms of a total of 60 miles along the way. Bai Shujie initially selected three places along the way. After repeated comparisons, Bai Shujie finally settled on a section of road near Linsheng Fort. Because there is a small uphill here, and then there is a downhill road with a small turn.
After coming to this world, he learned that the so-called carriage could only run at a speed of about thirty kilometers per hour. When going uphill or turning, the speed will suddenly drop significantly. As long as you choose a good position and master the inertia, it is not difficult to grab the transport team or transport it away. After deciding where to start, Yang Peng's headache began. From here to the vicinity of Youzhou, it only takes an hour and a half by carriage. In other words, after the robbery transport team succeeds, it will only take less than an hour at most to transport supplies and retreat.
There are ditches and ditches in this place, and the straight-line distance from the temporary station is more than a hundred miles. If we want to get the supplies back, we need to walk more than 200 miles with many twists and turns. In the dense forest on a hillside, Yang Peng called several people together to think of a solution. "Brother, don't worry, we have already thought about this problem!" Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "If you decide to do it here, there is a very secret cave more than fifty miles southeast from here. We last time When I ran out, I hid in that place all night. If I get something, I can hide it there temporarily, and then slowly transport it again. Even if the Khitan people find it, the loss to us will not be big anyway."
"What are you talking about? Take me over and take a look!" Yang Peng saw that the most troublesome problem could be solved, and he suddenly became interested: "Let's go, let's go!" The few people who came out this time all had certain intentions. A general with a solid foundation in martial arts. Although Shi Liancheng is the youngest, he has nimble legs and feet and is not slow at all. Two hours later, Yang Peng and others had arrived at a hill called Baiyunding. The altitude of this hill is only a few dozen meters, but it is crisscrossed by several deep ravines. Halfway up the mountain on the east side, there is a big rock sandwiched between two big trees, and all kinds of dead vines and weeds are very dense.
Cheng Shijie pointed to two big trees and said: "There is a big hole here that can fit more than 300 people!" "Don't destroy every plant and tree here, don't even move the stones on the ground!" Yang Pengyi When he heard that he had found the land, he quickly ordered: "Cheng Shijie, take me in, and you three will be on guard outside!" Yang Peng climbed in from the thatch and took a look. It turned out that there was a large cave inside the mountain, and there was an underground cave inside. Trap. In other words, Baiyunding looks normal on the outside, but is actually completely empty inside!
The entire cave is actually divided into two levels: upper and lower. What Cheng Shijie said was just the first level above. After Bai Shujie's repeated explorations, he finally found the pit below. Towards the northeast corner, there is a crack in the mountain wall. As long as you pass through this crack, you can enter the next level. Bai Shujie went in sideways and found that there was light inside!
Walking along the light, Bai Shujie walked out of the cave directly, and it was at the bottom of a ditch due north! In other words, there is no need to climb up the mountain to enter this cave. As the saying goes: "If you go in and go out, you will survive!" If you manage this place well, it may come in handy in the future. "Ah, what a great place, almost like a cave on the top of the mountain!" Yang Peng yelled randomly without knowing where he was, and then climbed up the mountain, surprising Liu Zhiliang and others.
Yang Peng did not say much, but directly issued an order: "Duan Zhixian, after you go back, take your squad and immediately find a way to buy a few large trucks, and then arrive at the scheduled ambush location the day after tomorrow. Liu Zhiliang, you return immediately In the secret camp, let the cooking squad prepare dry food for five days. The night after tomorrow, bring the other two combat teams to the location we have determined. Remember, this place is only known to the four of us for the time being, do you understand? "
Since there was only one day to prepare, time was already very tight. After receiving the order, Duan Zhixian and Liu Zhiliang left all the dry food on their bodies and left quickly. "You two come with me. The entrance below needs to be cleaned." Bai Shujie led the way down to the bottom of the ditch. The so-called reason is to move the big rocks in the ditch and create a temporary path. As for other things, they will remain as they are.
After resting in the cave for the night, Bai Shujie and the three of them surveyed the surrounding environment during the next day and finally found an escape route. Early in the morning on the third day, the three people set off for the rendezvous point and also inspected the operation rules of the transport team.
The transport team coming from the direction of Yingzhou passed the scheduled start point at about five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already evening. Yang Peng made a visual inspection and found that when the carriage went uphill, the speed was only about five kilometers per hour. It was very easy to climb up. There are two key points: one is how to complete the decoupling of the carriage as quickly as possible. This decoupling action must be completed by using the sudden inertia of the last carriage skin at the moment the carriage goes downhill. Another problem is how to control your Khitans in the last carriage. Of course, it is best not to alert them. After they arrived at the terminal, they didn't know what was going on.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, all the people from both groups arrived, and Duan Zhixian actually got eight carts and all the animals. The Qiannu group stayed in the secret camp to strengthen defense, ready to attack the retaliatory Khitans at any time. "Brothers, take cover on the spot. Vice captains and above are here for a meeting." Yang Peng shouted, and Zhang Xiang, Zhan Jinguo, Cheng Shijie, Zhang Yan, Duan Zhixian, and Liu Zhiliang immediately gathered around him.
"For tomorrow's operation, I will make the final deployment now." Yang Peng got straight to the point: "I am familiar with the structure of the transportation team, so I will be responsible for separating the last transportation team from the previous transportation team because we have too few people. Too many supplies are also a big trouble for us, and our strength is too small to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the Khitan army. Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian are very skilled. You two get in the car with me and are responsible for monitoring the last two. Khitan soldiers in a carriage."
"The others were under the unified command of Zhang Xiang, and they went to the end of the downhill slope five hundred meters below to hide and prepare for battle. After loading the cart, Liu Zhiliang led a large cart and a large force to retreat immediately towards the secret camp. The remaining A few of us rushed to Baiyunding to hide from the big car we got off."
As a man of two generations, Yang Peng naturally knew the importance of teaching by words and deeds. There is a famous saying in management: "A good manager must first be a good teacher!" There are no geniuses in this world, they are all developed through continuous training and training. In this process, the leader's words and deeds are crucial.
As the saying goes, "Everything is easy to learn, but a skill is hard to come by." Yang Peng hopes that through such on-site teaching, the bastards around him will grow up as soon as possible, and then they can take on the responsibility of sharing their own worries.
After this explanation, Zhang Xiang, Zhan Jinguo, Cheng Shijie, Zhang Yan, Duan Zhixian, Liu Zhiliang and Shi Liancheng naturally listened with interest, and couldn't help but praise secretly in their hearts: "I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the war. , Our eldest brother is so knowledgeable!"
After being busy until late at night, Yang Peng felt that it was almost done, so he led a few guys back to the ambush location to rest. Everyone had worked hard for four or five days in a row, so they naturally fell to the ground and fell asleep. In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day. Lurking, Yang Peng's small team had trained more than once. However, it is the first time for everyone to lurk on the battlefield for a long time.
The so-called ambush warfare focuses on "the suddenness of the outbreak of battle." The most critical thing to win in an ambush battle is to successfully lurk! The basic requirement for success in lurking is to be able to endure loneliness and have the psychological quality to be calm when things change, which requires training. "Keep your shit and pee in your crotch!" This is just one sentence, but it is really difficult to do it and do it well. The more you don't let you go to the toilet, the more people will reflexively feel the need to pee, and they will seem very urgent! Huh, if you don’t believe it, just give it a try. I guarantee you’ll feel sick all over in less than three hours!
After finally staying up until four o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Shujie, Cheng Shijie, and Duan Zhixian finally went out. Because the place where they got on the bus, which was the starting point of the uphill road, was still several hundred meters away from the lurking place. As soon as Yang Peng and the others arrived at their scheduled location, the ground began to shake, and a large number of transport teams were about to arrive on time!
