Two dynasties were sent to Yang You and Guo Yao'er.
Yang You looked at it and didn't know why.
Guo Jie'er took a breath of air.
This Ming Dy is used by elite generals in the military and has a very high standard. The bone whistle on the arrow is not tied to the arrow cluster with a rope, nor is it even made of bone. Instead, it is an iron product worn on the chisel-shaped arrow cluster. It looks like a cicada flapping its wings, and is very delicately made.
Ji Junli's troops never returned. After the enemy in the south was busy under the lights for a long time, they fired two buzzing guns like this to say hello...
What does this kind of sound mean?
Thinking of this, Guozhaoer suddenly turned around and shouted to an attendant: "Where are the arrows that the enemy shot into the village before? Bring a few!"
The attendant hurried away.
He came back after a while, holding four or five arrows in his hands.
Guozhao'er picked up one. There was a burr feeling on his hand and the surface was not painted. He could tell at a glance that it was newly made recently and not something that had been picked up and used repeatedly. He held the arrow cluster in one hand and broke it with a little force. The connection between the arrow cluster and the arrow shaft immediately broke.
He took a few more and tried them, and they were all the same.
Seeing Guo Yao'er's expression uncertain, the attendant came up to him and said, "General, the arrow shafts used by the thieves are not made of bamboo, but of willow wood. They don't look very reliable..."
"Stop!" Guo Jia'er scolded.
He turned to Yang You and said in a deep voice: "Jiulang Jun, Dajin Shaozhu, so the arrow shafts used by the armies in northern Xinjiang are mostly made of willow wood, which is different from ours in Shandong. At that time, Dajin Jiulu attacked the Song Dynasty, and there were people from the northwest who came to attack The old soldier of the company was traveling with me, and according to the old soldier, if the willow arrow shaft is properly crafted, it has something particularly powerful."
In terms of battlefield experience and knowledge, Guo Yao'er was second only to Li Siwen among the Tiewagan warriors, and even Yang An'er himself was far behind. Yang You did not dare to ignore the words of this old man and said hurriedly: "What's so great about it? Please tell me!"
Guo Yao'er handed the broken arrow to Yang You and asked him to take a closer look: "The willow pole is easily broken due to side force. After the soldiers hit the arrow, they would inevitably shake and move a little if they wanted to pull it out. But the technique was negligent. The willow arrow shaft will be broken, and the arrowhead will remain deep in the body and cannot be removed. As a result, a small injury can be fatal, which is the most feared thing by the Rong people. Among the Northern Xinjiang Army, only the masters with outstanding archery skills and rich battlefield experience can The arrow shaft will be ground consciously to achieve the effect of removing the arrowheads."
Yang You looked at the broken arrow clusters: "You mean..."
Guo Yao'er lowered his voice: "These arrows are all newly made. It can be seen that many of those who just attacked the village are experts who have been fighting for a long time in the trenches of the northern border! Such experts can all be worth ten, even if Even if we form a formation and fight head-on, we can hardly say we will win. But after Ji Junli led his troops to fight out, they immediately collapsed. Lord Jiulang, do you think, why is this? These people came specially to lure the enemy! What Ji Junli did The department is finished!"
Ji Junli chased him out with a stick and a bright fire in the middle of the night. Until now, there was no news at all. Yang You had already had bad expectations. But Guo Jie'er said it so directly, which still shocked him.
Guo Jie'er's words haven't stopped yet.
He raised the two dynasties to his eyes and took a closer look, and then said: "As for these two..."
"What's so mysterious about these two?"
"According to the rules of the garrison on the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang to deliver orders on the battlefield, the corps leader carries the watch, the chief commander carries the flag, and the hundred commanders carry the tambourine. Only those who reach the level of Qian Zhang or Meng An Bo Ji Lie will use such sophisticated hammers... …This is usually used to indicate the direction for the kidnapping horse to attack the enemy formation!”
Speaking of this, Guozhaoer couldn't help but climbed up the high wall in a few steps and looked at the firelight to the south: "This Mingdi is telling us that a powerful person who leads a thousand-person infantry and cavalry brigade has arrived here. ! This move not only declares our strength to us, but also invites us to talk before the battle!"
Yang You stood below, seeing Guo Yao'er's expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "A powerful person? In the past two years, this group of defeated troops was in panic like a lost dog. How can there be any powerful person? If there is a powerful person who commands the moral order of the people, and How could it be reduced to such a state of panic?"
Guo Yao'er was speechless for a moment, and Yang You said in his ear: "How dare such a person invite us to have a chat in front of the battle?"
Guo Yao'er came down from the high wall and was standing in front of the main door which was closed again.
In just one day and night, the Gucheng Store was attacked twice, and the door panel was kicked down repeatedly. It could not be closed properly at this time, so it could only be left alone. The evening wind whistled through the cracks in the door, making people feel chilly.
Guo Jie'er hurriedly took a few steps away from the crack in the door and came to the side of Yang You who was groaning angrily.
Yang An'er's uncle and nephew have been running rampant in Shandong for several years. In several defeats, He Zha was sent out to defeat An Mou, and his arrogance was born. And because we stayed in the Jiming Mountain area last year and never really went to the front line to fight with the Mongols, we didn't know how powerful the Mongols were. Therefore, both uncle and nephew did not pay enough attention to the surrounding stragglers who had retreated from the Great Wall, comparing them to the common vagrants in Shandong.
Even if the previous operation to collect the defeated troops did not go smoothly, so that Yang You had to station himself at Guchengdian just in case; even though Ji Junli's troops were obviously finished; but Yang You was unwilling to admit in his bones that the stragglers could actually Gather the strength to fight against the Tiewa Dare Warriors!
This should be very clear!
These defeated troops are definitely not the fat men Yang An'er thought he had earlier, let alone a scattered and unsystematic mob! Although they left their homes and lived in Hebei, they still maintained their warrior demeanor and maintained sophisticated equipment. When the situation suddenly changed, they were able to immediately gather to fight, showing their strong combat effectiveness... This is a strong enemy!
When Guo Yao'er rebelled in Shandong, he sometimes only had a dozen or twenty people left with him, and he often had to face the pursuit and suppression of hundreds or thousands of people from the imperial court. All the relatives in the village and clan who followed him had died long ago. He is not afraid of strong enemies.
But now that Marshal Yang is making a big move, he really shouldn't cause such a disturbance! Marshal Yang's foundation has always been in Shandong. As long as he goes to Shandong and raises his arms, he can get a hundred thousand soldiers at his fingertips. What we see in front of us is nothing more than some defeated troops, how about gathering them together? So what if it doesn’t close up?
What I thought was the icing on the cake turned out to be a loss of capital. Is it a good deal? This battle was a shameless one!
If the situation worsens, who can bear the responsibility?
"Kiulang-kun, please sit tight in the village. I will come out to take a look at the situation."
Guo Yaoer made up his mind.
Yang You frowned: "These thieves... When dawn comes, we will summon all the ministries to gather together and wipe them out immediately! What are we talking about with them?"
"Since they are blocking the door to invite people, they must have something to back them up. They have already become a force, so don't mention anything else and it will be wiped out! We want to do big things, and we can't let small enemies hold us back." Guo Yao'er looked again. Looking at Mingdi in his hand: "Besides... Hey, Lao Ji might be in their hands! He is the arm of the marshal, how can there be any mistake? I have to go and see!"
The commanders and generals of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army, including Ji Junli, are all Yang You's uncles. Since Guo Yao'er said this, Yang You couldn't stop him.
"You take the fifty soldiers, and I will take the successors... If the situation is not right, I will be tough!"
"No need, I'll take the two of you with me, that's enough." Guo Yao'er thought of something else when he climbed down from the wall.
This night, I was really busy.
He patted his forehead: "How many of Han Renqing's subordinates have not escaped? How many of the people who broke into the village just now should have been arrested by us? Mr. Jiulang, please go and make some changes and invite them to come. If you can Ask for some details, maybe..."
"All of them have been beheaded and pushed into the ditch to the west." Yang You said.
"What?"
Yang You said confidently: "These people are so brave. They dare to come and stroke our tiger beards. If we don't kill them, how can we still keep them for the New Year? We would have killed them long ago!"
Guo Jie'er coughed a few times. Under the firelight, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed like ravines, and they instantly became deeper: "That's it, that's it, Mr. Jiulang, you guard this place carefully, I'll come back when I go."
Without waiting for Yang You to speak, he called two soldiers to open the door and strode out.
He kept moving along the deserted road. In the fields on both sides of the road, rustling footsteps appeared at some point, and someone followed them not far or near, keeping a distance.
They should be crossbowmen, Guo Yao'er thought silently. There are not many of them, but the enemy is in the dark and we are clear.
The strange thing is that after walking for a while, no one came to greet us or stop us. The road ahead was always empty, and we were getting closer and closer to the place where the torches swayed to the south.
It wasn't until he stood under the firelight on both sides of the road that he could clearly see what was piled on the road.
There were forty or fifty of the subordinates Ji Junli took out to pursue them. These companions, who were very familiar to Guo Jie'er, were all lying with scars and scars, their whole bodies were tied up and they could not move, they could only tremble occasionally. Perhaps because of injuries, fear and humiliation, many of them lowered their heads to the ground and closed their eyes in silence.
Someone noticed Guo Yao'er's arrival, and suddenly became energetic, dragging the rope along the ground for a while, and whined a few times. Guo Jie'er noticed that everyone had something stuffed in their mouths, some had rags stuffed in them, and some simply stuffed their mouths full of hay and dirt.
What a shame!
No matter how sophisticated Guo Yao'er is, he can't help but get angry. He strode forward regardless, leaned over and tore away the rag in someone's mouth, and asked repeatedly: "Don't worry, it's okay! Where is Lao Ji? Is he still alive?"
"Are you talking about Ji Junli? He is still alive. He is at the back. You can see it when you turn the corner." A gentle voice beside him said.
Guo Yao'er felt anxious and hurriedly got up and went back. After taking two steps, I heard two of my servants exclaiming in unison: "General! Be careful!"
Only then did Guo Yao'er react. He suddenly took half a step back and reached out to hold the knife on his waist.
"Who?" he shouted sharply.
Only then did he realize that the person who had just spoken was sitting next to a group of prisoners. This man was wearing a gray-white military robe with a coiled collar, and there were long knives and iron-bone flowers hanging on the left and right sides of his waist.
Because the pan-collared military robe was a common color among the Dajin Army, several of the prisoners were dressed like this. So this man sat peacefully. Under the cover of night, Guo Yao'er didn't even notice.
Seeing Guo Jie'er's alert posture, the man chuckled twice, stood up and walked under the firelight.
It turned out to be a tall young man with a rather tired face, deep eye sockets and sharp but unassuming eyes. The young man bowed his hands and saluted, and spoke with a Monan border accent: "Is this General Guo Yao'er who is under Yang Dutong's command?"
"I am Guo Jie'er."
"I've seen you for a long time, and it's a pleasure to meet you." The young man nodded slightly: "I am Guo Ning from Changzhou. I take the liberty to come here because I want to negotiate terms."
Guo Yao'er cautiously took another half step back: "Changzhou Guo Ning? You are Guo Liulang from Changzhou Wushabao!"
