The sun was still scorching and there was no wind.
Even sitting still can make people sweat profusely.
Under a huge tree like a canopy, Wu Nian sat on a bench. In front of him, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Xu Shanhai, He Jinshun and more than ten people stood on the left and right.
Xu Shanhai, He Jinshun and others were given swords, spears, and armor. Along the way, Wu Nian took many people with him. Of course, he also organized a militia and promoted many people.
"Everyone, take advantage of these few days to rest. We have sorted out the team."
"First of all, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng. Each of you has a force of one thousand households under your command. Now you have gathered the best and expanded it to fifty troops of one hundred households."
"It cannot be mixed. Instead, it should be organized separately. Elite soldiers are elite soldiers, and militiamen are militiamen. In this way, the combat effectiveness of elite soldiers will not be reduced and they can be used as breakouts."
"Also. If you don't have enough weapons, you can cut down trees and make wooden spears. Although they are crude, they are better than no weapons."
Wu Nian raised his head and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice.
There is no rule without rules, so reorganization is necessary. As for the weapons, they are really lacking. It's okay to say that bows are all used by soldiers and hunters. There are many bows, but their power varies.
As for weapons, we can only sharpen wood and use it as wooden spears.
"yes."
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng looked serious and led everyone to bow down and salute Wu Nian. Before it was over, Wu Nian explained some more things.
For example, according to the rules of Beishan Fort, a pavilion chief was set up as a basic official to manage the people. If you act in this way, you will have basic operational capabilities.
He also asked about food reserves, medicine reserves and other issues. After the investigation was over, he let Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others go down.
"Judging from the marching trajectories of Jin Huanshan, Jin Ruiyun, and Wanyanxian, I have achieved half of my goal. The next step is to hold them back without being encircled and suppressed. To Liu Zhixing from Beishan Fort, attack Dingxian Chance."
"With my current elite soldiers and militia, although it is a bit problematic to deal with three thousand households, it should not be a big problem." Wu Nian reached out and patted his knees and stood up. He stretched out his right hand to remove the branch hanging from the big tree. I put the bamboo tube on my head and drank all the water inside.
Everything is expected.
Wu Nian is very confident.
"Da da da." At this moment, Xu Gun, who was responsible for contacting and processing intelligence, hurried over with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Wu Nian turned his head and looked up, squinting his eyes, having a bad premonition in his heart.
Xu Gun quickly approached Wu Nian and whispered a few words.
Wu Nian's eyes flashed with astonishment, but he quickly calmed down. He said to Xu Gun, "Don't tell anyone."
"Yes." Xu Gun responded solemnly, clasping his fists, turning around and leaving in a hurry.
Wu Nian thought for a moment and called the soldiers on the side to come over and invite Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng. He sat back on the small bench and fell into deep thought.
"I didn't expect that my cards would be so big. Four thousand households!"
A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, his brows were filled with excitement, and he felt that the blood in his body was already boiling.
Wu Nian had anticipated this war before it started.
The Meng Yuan people would not let him develop in peace.
I thought that two ten thousand households would come to attack, but it was already on the cards.
I didn't expect it to be three.
Now it's four.
Meng Yuan people really think highly of me, Mr. Wu.
Soon after, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng left and returned. When he came to Wu Nian, he bowed and said: "General."
"Sit down." Wu Nian pointed to the muddy ground in front of him and said.
The two of them didn't mind it and sat on the floor. Wu Nian stood up again and asked the soldiers to move away. Then he returned to the small bench and sat down, and said: "The spies are here to report. Puguli is gathering troops."
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were not as calm as Wu Nian, and they were all shocked when they heard this.
"What?!!!!"
"Calm down. This news is not good news. We can't let everyone know at once." Wu Nian looked at the two of them with stern eyes.
The two of them stopped making noise immediately, like geese being strangled by their necks. But the expressions of the two of them were even uglier.
Four thousand households? !
This is really killing me.
"Hoo ho ho!!!" The two of them took deep breaths, waiting for them to calm down. Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "General. The situation is not right. We should leave here immediately by taking a small road and go back to Beishan Fort for defense."
"Yes, General. Four thousand households mobilized their troops to encircle and suppress us. If we are besieged, we will be doomed." Zhang Sheng nodded repeatedly, looking restless.
They have been training with Wu Nian, and they are really not afraid of death when encountering problems. But this time, things are really a bit big.
Four thousand households.
They never dreamed that they would be surrounded and suppressed by four thousand households.
Special code. is it necessary?
Do you think so highly of our general?
There are only ten Mongolian and Yuan households in the entire Liaodong, right?
"No. I can't retreat. Not only can't I retreat, I also have to attract them. This will create an opportunity for Liu Zhixing in Beishan Fort to attack Dingxian."
"If we return to Beishan Fort, we will be the same as before. We will be beaten passively. And this time we will be beaten even more severely, forty thousand households."
"Can't hold it."
Wu Nian shook his head, straightened his chest and back, showing an unquestionable expression.
"But..." Zhang Sheng opened his mouth, full of bitterness. Wu Nian interrupted him and said, "I came to you just to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared."
"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng immediately lowered their heads and responded.
"Go down. Finish the previous matters first." Wu Nian nodded and said. After a pause, his eyes showed a bright light, and he said with a smile: "Don't think too much, I am responsible for everything."
"Yes." This sentence immediately made Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng feel more confident and invigorated. They all responded with clasped fists, stood up, patted their butts and left.
yes.
We have the general here. The sky fell, but the general held it up. We just have to fight along. Even if he is destined to die.
It is also a blessing to die with the general.
"What should we do next?" Wu Nian stretched out his right hand and pinched his chin, called for a soldier to come over, laid the map on the ground in front of him, lowered his head and watched carefully.
Currently, Jinruiyun, Jinhuanshan, and Wanyanxian are all in the south, and Puguli is in the west.
How can you play with them and procrastinate without being surrounded by them?
Their strength is nearly 40,000.
And if I include the people, there are not 20,000 people.
No matter, let’s continue to increase our strength first.
Wu Nian's eyes were like stars, and he lowered his head and stared at a corner on the map.
Mingshan Fort.
This is it.
