Chapter 121 Returning and Meeting Rangers

After staying for three days, Lin Yang escorted 30 carts full of 1 shi of various grains, and 500 thin and malnourished young men, out of the gate of Lingzhou, and embarked on the journey.

With so many personnel and materials escorted, it is too dangerous to rely solely on the few soldiers brought by Lin Yang himself. After all, not everyone is Lin Yang, everyone has the power of the four phenomena.Therefore, under the advice of Zhang Cai, through the introduction of Ren Yazi and several tavern owners, Lin Yang recruited 200 mercenaries, some of whom were caravan guards, some were retired soldiers, and some were murderous deserters , No matter what the disbanded utility soldiers were before, they are now reorganized into the army of Hot Spring Village by Lin Yang on the spot, and they all get paid.

Although it is rare, as long as Lin Yang himself does not drink the blood of soldiers like his predecessor, Zhizhai, these soldiers are still happy to hold their jobs.Especially when going out to fight, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's up to you to fight, as long as you don't die, you can make extra money.

It is easy to cross Helan Mountain when coming, but it is difficult to cross Helan Mountain when returning. Who told you that the team was bloated several times, and there was a small snowflake, the temperature began to drop sharply, and the speed dropped obviously.

The house leak happened to be raining all night, and on the way back, I was harassed by Iron Man Rangers. Although they were not exhausted, they were highly stressed, and the soldiers were very tired. Zhang Cai and Lin Yang were worried. If this continues, the team will collapse It must be done.

"It's best to find a place to get rid of Iron Man's ranger, otherwise it will be like a cowhide plaster, which is very annoying!" Lin Yang said angrily during the meal, as if the bread in his hand was Iron Man.

Zhang Cai calmly ate the rye bun: "The number of the enemy will not exceed 20 cavalry. If there are too many enemy cavalry, they will attack us directly instead of harassing us continuously. Constant harassment only means that the enemy cannot eat us. We are looking for our loopholes, after all we have so many supplies and recruits, there will be many loopholes, but it is just the measurement used by Iron Man."

"Then how to solve it?" Lin Yang subconsciously moved his buttocks and listened attentively.

"It's easy to solve with cavalry." Zhang Cai said in a deep voice, "According to the words of the foster father, "use cavalry against cavalry", use cavalry to fight cavalry, but Yunji, do you dare to take out cavalry to drive out rangers?"

"Don't dare." Lin Yang answered decisively.

The army is not a group of people, not to mention software such as equipment training, the army itself is a sophisticated instrument, and if the parts are to work, a large number of low-level officers are indispensable to drive them. 200 people is really not a lot, but every 5 people need to have a corporal officer, and every 10 people need to have an officer, so there need to be 60 officers. How many soldiers can Lin Yang bring? ?Is there anything left to fill in?

Once the officers withdrew, they didn't fall apart!
Zhang Cai reminded: "Zhizhai, what we think about now should not be how to attack, destroy and expel the Iron Man Rangers, but to find a favorable terrain to set up a defense, and by the way, try to find a way to ask for help from the surrounding friendly troops."

Lin Yang was very puzzled: "Didn't you say that the enemy cavalry is around 20? I can wipe out hundreds of people by more than 20 cavalry?"

"At worst, you are responsible for moving forward. I will go alone and kill the enemy's horses. I don't believe that Iron Man's horse can outrun my chasing wind black Wanlilongju horse!"

Zhang Cai said lightly: "20 riders can handle hundreds of us, but what about 200 riders? 500 riders? 1000 riders? On the prairie, there are very few lone wolves, and there are many, many packs of wolves."

As soon as he said this, Lin Yang realized the seriousness of the problem. In the eyes of the iron man cavalry, his big bags and small bags were just a piece of fat. He could still handle tens of hundreds, but he couldn't handle more than a thousand.

As for whether Zhang Cai is alarmist or not, Lin Yang believes in Zhang Cai's judgment. After all, she has just beheaded [-] ranks as a fledgling, and her achievements in the First World War are enough to make countless old generals of the empire pale.

"Is there anything you can do?" Lin Yang asked.

Zhang Caiyi answered honestly, "You are Zhizhai and I am Zhizhai?"

Lin Yang was deeply choked: "Then listen to my orders, you have to help me, don't make fun of me!"

Zhang Cai replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Yunji."

Lin Yang's command was quite satisfactory. He chose a high place to set up the formation, surrounded the formation with grain carts as a low wall, and 500 young and strong slaves served as civilian labor. If you don't bring a bow and crossbow, you only have long spears and steel knives and other melee weapons. If you fight against an iron man on foot, your combat power will be greatly reduced.

Lin Yang sent people to cut down a lot of wood and set up a bonfire to burn it. The thick smoke rose and polluted the sky. This is Lin Yang's way of asking for help.

Later, Iron Man Rangers gathered at the foot of the mountain, and Lin Yang ascended the high-definition point, there were about 300 people, and his face couldn't help but look ugly.

Zhang Cai kindly reminded: "If it is on flat ground, it will be difficult for us to block the assault of these iron cavalry."

"Let's fight!"

Lin Yang stopped talking nonsense and handed over the command of hundreds of people to Zhang Cai. He leaped onto his horse with a big stride, holding a Zijin Heaven Opening Knife, and rushed down the mountain with a handful of 10 family cavalry on standby.

Zhang Cai took over the command and looked at the dead soldiers in front of and behind him, feeling powerless.

"It's okay, I'll do my best"

--------------

Thirty miles away from the mountain road where Zhang Cai and Lin Yang were trapped, a cottage stood on the side of an unnamed mountain. The flag of the Zhagu Empire was erected on the wall of the village, and the sentinels were meticulously carrying out their tasks.This is the "Xiong'an Village" of the Zhagu Empire. It is located on the mountainside and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a fortress controlling an east-west passage in Helan Mountain. .

The importance is self-evident, because there are 3000 standing guards in Xiong'an Village, and another guard stationed here to obey the command of Zhizhai. The number of soldiers directly surpassed Wenquan Village.

But where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. It is dangerous to build a village on the mountain, but there is little water and thalassemia. Xiong'an Village needs external supplies too much. Otherwise, there is no need to attack, and it will fall after a long-term siege.

Xiong'an Zhizhai's surname is Lu, his first name is Deng, and his courtesy name is Boyan. He was born in the middle-level Luzhou Shangdang Lu family.Lu Deng is well-connected and courageous. He has made many military exploits in the military for a long time. He earned the reputation of "Iron Spear Lu Lang" on the battlefield with one knife and one gun. Know Xiong'an Village.

Although Lu Deng was young, he was a veteran. He knew when the Iron Man would come to raid the Grass Valley, so he seized the time to rush to transport food, store wine, and prepare for a long-term siege.He also spread scouts to scout horses, scouting all directions to find traces of iron man cavalry.

It was only 30 miles away from Xiong'an Village. It was a coincidence that the black smoke in the sky could be seen from Xiong'an Village, and the radius of 30 miles happened to be within the range of scouts in the village. When the scout heard that there was a lot of food, Lu Deng couldn't bear the desire to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

Iron Spear Lu Lang's reputation was earned by killing the Iron Man, why should Lu Deng be afraid of hundreds of Iron Man Rangers?At the moment, the drums were beating and the generals were gathered, and 2600 infantry and 400 cavalry were ordered in the village. Lu Deng personally led them and galloped away.
