Chapter 487 The first battle
The evening glow shines on the bare ridge, dyeing the ridge a crimson!
There are birds returning home in the sky, wild wolves wandering in the wilderness, and flexible rock sheep on the cliff. They are scorching the sun for a whole daytime earth. At this time, they begin to enter the cooling mode. The valley is silent and quiet. Only birds flying over the mountain sky from time to time will make a crisp chirping or two.
Just in that scarlet color, a team of less than 300 people was hiding on the hillside north of the valley, and most of them were preparing excitedly and nervously.
"Check the bow and arrow again. Don't pinch the battle bow on your hands at this time. If you pinch it for a long time, you will sweat and will easily slip..."
"You can take out some arrows first and insert them into the ground in front of you to get them easily..."
"Don't keep this crawling position for too long, otherwise your body will get numb. After lying on the ground for a while, change your position..."
"If you feel nervous, take a deep breath..."
Yan Liqiang inspected the young team, constantly correcting and reminding the young soldiers in the team to pay attention to at this time. When they encountered nervousness, Yan Liqiang patted the person on the shoulder and comforted him. At this time, Yan Liqiang realized that he was not very nervous about the soldiers and horses of the upcoming inspection yamen, but was a little nervous about the more than 200 people he brought. This was the first time that many of these more than 200 people had experienced such a situation, so he was not as calm as those veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Only when he is truly in this position can Yan Liqiang feel the difference between a commander and a Maverick. The Maverick can do whatever he wants and be responsible for himself. As a commander who leads hundreds of people to the battlefield, he needs to be responsible for these two hundred people. Death and injuries on the battlefield are inevitable, but Yan Liqiang has another extravagant hope in his heart, trying his best to bring back each of the people he brought back intact.
Looking at the young and vivid faces, Yan Liqiang felt more and more that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy. He finally knew how the commanders in history came to calm when the two armies fought. Most people were definitely forced to pretend to be b, because they knew that countless people were watching them. As long as they were panic at the slightest, the soldiers staring at them would be bulging in their hearts, and they would amplify the panic ten times and a hundred times, and their morale would be affected. The outcome of the battle could be reversed. Therefore, no matter what, they must make themselves calm and calm, with no blind spots in 360 degrees, just like the one who came in history, fighting on the front line, and he pretended to be calm in the rear, playing chess in the rear. When the news came, he was so excited that his shoes ran away. This was pretending, and men must be able to pretend!
At this time, the one who was best at pretending was not Yan Liqiang, but the soldiers brought by Yan Liqiang from the Manufacturing Bureau. The soldiers were holding not war bows, but strong crossbows. Yan Liqiang mixed them with the 200 people. Many of the soldiers in the Manufacturing Bureau were also very nervous at this time, but in front of a bunch of "newcomers" who followed Yan Liqiang, they all acted like "old birds" and pretended to be relaxed.
"What's this little thing? Let me tell you, a few days ago, the Supervisor took us to take down all the deputy transshipment envoys who came to make trouble in the bureau. What kind of deputy transshipment envoys, but the officials who were even older than the county magistrate. When they first came to our Manufacturing Office, you didn't see that kind of arrogance, just like he was the emperor who came to inspect. Afterwards, hahaha, the damn, the Supervisor took action, and the man was so scared that he was so scared that he was pissed. Really, all of them pissed their pants. These bastards in the Transshipment Office were all kidnapped and only bullied the people. Now they dare to steal our things, so let's fight them to the end. Guess what happened to the Deputy Transshipment Envoys later. The Adult took us and cut the mess in front of everyone's face..."
Not far from Yan Liqiang, a sergeant from the Manufacturing Bureau lay on the ground, "slightly" talking to the people next to him about what happened in the Manufacturing Bureau a few days ago. When the people next to him heard this, they were all excited. They were already a little nervous, but they relaxed without realizing it. Since even a high-ranking official like the deputy envoy of the Transportation Bureau had peed his pants and was cut, what else in the Transportation Office would be afraid of?
On the other side...
Another "old bird" from the manufacturing bureau whispered mysteriously to the "newcomers" next to him, "Guess what is the thing I'm pulling in my carriage?"
"Isn't it a supply?"
"Hehe, I don't know this. I'm pulling it in the carriage, but the weapons of the supervising master, and the weapons of the supervising master are a big gun..."
"A big gun requires a carriage to pull it?"
"Look, you have no knowledge. Do you think the big gun used by the Supervisor is the same as the ones we use? Let me tell you, the big gun used by the Supervisor weighs more than 400 kilograms, and it can't be held even if you give it to you. Ordinary rhino and dragon horses are hunched and they can only be pulled by car. I guess, there may not be any spear heavier than the long spear of the Supervisor. If you are hit by such a long spear, you will definitely die or be injured. I can't wait now. You have to see the way the Supervisor kills the enemy with a long spear..."
The young people next to him were fascinated by hearing this...
Seeing that the veterans of the manufacturing bureau around me were so calm, the young people who had actually arrived on the battlefield for the first time slowly calmed down and were looking forward to the upcoming battle.
After inspecting it, Yan Liqiang returned to his place, next to a huge rock on the hillside.
Shi Dafeng was ready to rub his hands, while Shen Teng closed his eyes to rest. The super strong horned python bow given to Yan Liqiang by His Majesty the Emperor placed it on the ground. Next to the horned python bow, there were more than 30 quiver pots, and the ground next to it was filled with arrows. Yan Liqiang asked the two veterans from the manufacturing bureau to stay here, and fight later, and were specifically responsible for providing arrows for himself.
"Liqiang, can we rush for a while later?" Seeing Yan Liqiang come back, Shi Dafeng came over with a shy face, licked his lips, and said to Yan Liqiang in a low voice.
Yan Liqiang glanced at Shi Dafeng, expressionless, and only said two words, "No!"
"Not in the end?" Shi Dafeng looked at Yan Liqiang with hope.
"Not even in the end!" Yan Liqiang shook his head firmly, without giving any face. "If you don't obey the order, then I can only let you withdraw from this battle, knock you out or tie you up, and you can just watch it!"
Shi Dafeng suddenly changed his face and waved his hand quickly, "No, don't, don't, I listen, of course I listen, I'm just talking. I think it's interesting to rush up and fight..."
Chen Teng opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "We are ambushing this time. There are so many crossbows that can kill and injure the enemy from afar. Why do you have to rush forward? With your own shortcomings and others' strengths, the wise will not do it!"
"Dare you dare to say I'm stupid?" Shi Dafeng glared at Chen Teng.
"I didn't say it, you said it yourself!"
Shi Dafeng's eyes turned, "Hehe, I saw your little finger moving just now. Are you scared? This is the first time Mr. Shen has experienced such a scene!"
At this moment, it was Chen Teng's turn to stare at Shi Dafeng. Chen Teng was about to say something, but Yan Liqiang had already gestured, and Chen Teng suddenly became quiet.
"Let everyone prepare, our prey is coming!"
In the wilderness in the distance, you can already see a stream of smoke and dust flying up. In the higher sky, a silver falcon had already hovered over the wilderness, staring at the wilderness below with sharp eyes...
At this time, the more than a thousand cavalrymen in the transfer yamen had run away for almost the whole day, and the people were exhausted. What those people would never imagine was that someone would rush to Yinzhou, wait here for a few days after eating and drinking, and ambushing them...
The result of everything seems to have been destined from the beginning.
Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, the figures of more than a thousand cavalry wearing bright and dazzling dark red uniforms had appeared at the entrance of the valley, stretching three or four hundred meters, pulling into a line, and rushed into the valley without any defense or hesitation.
