Chapter 74 The old soldier

Seeing Xu Huai holding his waist and sitting on the rock pretentiously, Liu Qiong'er's beautiful eyes rolled up.

"Zhai Mazi, I said that Xu Huai's skills are more powerful than his father's. Do you believe me?"

Xu Wukun stood outside the fence and said to the middle-aged man with a broken leg who looked excited and had pockmarks on his face. He then pulled him into the fence and said to Xu Huai,

"Zhai Mazi is from Beiling Bazi Village. He came back with us from the Jingsheng Army, but he lost a leg on the battlefield. When he returned to his hometown, he had no land to cultivate, and he had no way to make a living by carrying big bags in the market. In his early years, he

He also came over to help me. I saw him when I was a child, but you may not remember it. Later, my shop couldn't support many people, but I didn't chase him away, but he ran away on his own. I didn't hear from him for several years.

I heard the news, but I didn’t expect that he had already joined the gang in Xie Mashan. It’s a pity that Pan Chenghu didn’t show off, which is embarrassing for us, a veteran of the Jingsheng Army!”

"Xu Huai's python spear is not only better than his father's, I think he is even more handsome than Wang Shuai back then!" Zhai Mazi walked over lamely, opened his mouth and showed yellow teeth, and said with a face full of shock and joy.

Xu Huai didn't even have any memories before he was seven or eight years old. When he heard Xu Wuliang mention it, he had some impression of Zhai Mazi - Xu Wuliang was a righteous man and always wanted to help the poor returning soldiers when he was able.

It was just a struggle to maintain, Zhai Mazi didn't want to drag Xu Wuliang down, so he left by himself.

"It's Uncle Zhai, why does your face look familiar?" Xu Huai said.

In front of outsiders, Xu Wuliang still regarded Liu Qiong'er as the leader of the third village, and said to her: "This Zhai Mazi is a man of love and can be used in the village."

In his early years, Zhai Mazi was still a little angry and didn't want to eat and drink for nothing at Xu Wuliang's place. But when he joins the Xiemasan Mountains, even if he still has some work, what's the use of his disabled legs and feet? Who will think highly of him?

In the past seven or eight years, he had been at the lowest level in Xiema Mountain, and he didn't have much spirit left. At this time, he was afraid of being disliked, so he looked at Liu Qiong'er humbly and said, "Master of the third village, don't look at my right leg.

He's dead, but he still has some strength in his arms to work, and he doesn't eat much."

He has not yet understood what Xu Wuliang meant when he said "can be retained", and he only hopes to stay.

If you catch prisoners from the enemy's stronghold, the strong ones will naturally have a chance to join the gang. However, the cottage is already difficult. It would be considered merciful to catch the old, weak, sick and disabled and drive them out. What's more, they will directly use them for those who are new to the gang or those who join the gang.

The new gangster who was coerced into joining the gang tried his knife.

Zhai Mazi was afraid that they would not take him in and would drive him out. It would be difficult for him to make a living hunting alone in the deep mountains and forests. But when he walked out of the mountains and forests, he did not think he would be able to escape the hunting of the local soldiers and tribesmen.

"Zhai Mazi, you can see that they are not too weak, but why can't they force Xu Huai back even half a step?" Liu Qiong'er put her stance as the leader of the third village and stared at Zhai Mazi and asked.

Xu Huai was busy using force to intimidate the young Han Qi and other soldiers, and did not respond to Zhai Mazi in time, but Liu Qiong'er had been secretly sizing up Zhai Mazi who Xu Wuliang had brought over.

Zhai Mazi's hamstrings were broken, and his leg muscles had long since atrophied. Even if his arms had some strength, it was at the level of ordinary people. It was no longer possible for him to be like Xu Huai and Xu Wukun who controlled the muscles and bones of their whole body to exert their strength with extreme precision.

However, Liu Qiong'er could see that Zhai Mazi's eyesight was not bad. At least the subtle changes in his expression just now showed that he should have seen the many shortcomings of Han Qi and other soldiers exposed in front of Xu Huai.

.

"There are so many loopholes that I don't even know where to start!" Zhai Mazi said, scratching his matted head that exuded a faint odor.

"Then Zhai Mazi, come and train him for a few days. If after three or five days, you can get him to force Xu Huai back half a step, you will have a good meal in your village." Liu Qiong'er pointed to Han Qi and followed

Zhai Mazi said.

"Thank you Sanzhaizi for the meal!" Zhai Mazi was not able to go into battle, but he thought he was still capable of instructing young boys like Han Qi who were not bad at it, so he kowtowed to Liu Qiong'er before standing up.

Liu Qiong'er looked at Han Qi again and asked, "Do you think that Zhai Mazi has a lame leg, so you don't have the right to pull you out?"

The arrogance in Han Qi's heart had been wiped away by Xu Huai. He stood aside and nodded silently. How could he dare to say no?

"Then you will follow Uncle Wu Liang and Zhai Mazi from now on. If you are told to do something, run more diligently. After a while, with Zhai Maozi's guidance, you will indeed be able to correct some of the problems in your fists and feet. I will let Xu Huai make the real Fu

I'll teach you the Python Spear!" Liu Qiong'er said, "Of course, if you think Xu Huai is a fool and feel that he is not qualified to pass you the Python Spear, then that's it!"

Xu Huai took back the long straight-spine knife, sat on the rock and held the knife in his arms. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved and he looked at Han Qi.

"..." Han Qi's face turned red.

Liu Qiong'er looked at the young warriors who came with Xu Xin'an. They all turned their eyes away, but they looked at each other in shock: Is this really the Xu Huai they were familiar with in the past?

"Xu Huai used to be addicted to martial arts and was obsessed with it. He didn't care much about how others looked at him. But if you really want to treat him as a fool, first ask how many moves you have made against him with swords and guns?

Liu Qiong'er said lightly.

A young man with blood and courage can be used, but no matter how brave a young man is, he cannot be used by a fool.

Although Xu Huai will continue to pretend to be an idiot in the future, these warriors are clearly what Xu Huai wants to train, and Liu Qiong'er cannot allow them to underestimate Xu Huai.

Of course, these soldiers were from the lower classes, were young, and had simple temperaments. They subconsciously felt that Liu Qiong'er's words could really suddenly explain their doubts.

Come to think of it, Xu Huai's powerful skills were laughed at by them in the past, but didn't he just ignore them at all?

The military soldiers sometimes laugh at the fact that some scholars are stupid because of their infatuation with reading. They don't even understand a little bit about the world, they don't know how to take care of life, and they are clumsy in everything. They secretly feel that Xu Huai must have been like this in the past!

They never imagined that people's memories would be corrected by other people's words.

Xu Huai smiled slightly and didn't explain much.

He was not worried that Liu Qiong'er's slight criticism in front of the soldiers and Han Qi would affect him in pretending to be an idiot. After all, Xu Wufu and others, as well as those who "can make the people let it go, but can't let the people know it" have high self-esteem.

In the eyes of people, which low-level warrior is not a vulgar and stupid warrior?

…………

…………

Xu Wukun arranged what he was doing, came over and asked, "Why are you resting here?"

Xu Wuliang told him Liu Qiong'er's arrangements for Zhai Mazi.

"Zhai Mazi can do this," Xu Wukun said with confidence. "Back then, in the left camp of the Jingsheng Army, Zhai Mazi was also a top-notch tyrant, but it was because he charged to kill the enemy too fiercely that he was beaten by the masters in the Dangxiang Army.

I targeted him and hit him with a special hook, sickle, and spear once, and my right leg was crippled!"

The hook sickle spear was born out of the halberd. In terms of shape, the horizontal edge of the halberd is bent inward to form a barb.

According to the records of "Wu Jing Zong Yao", the hook and sickle spear was created by the great ancestor of Dai Viet, and was specially used to deal with heavy armored cavalry in field battles. In horse battles and infantry battles, there are pecking, hooking and other methods, and the python spear's eagle pecking and other techniques.

, it was born out of this.

In fact, except for some generals who are good at or like weapons such as hooks and spears, ordinary armored soldiers can deal with heavy armored cavalry charging in groups calmly without escaping. In groups of three or five, ordinary soldiers can

A sharp spear can be enough to suppress the rampage of heavy armored cavalry, and there is no need to use a complicated weapon like a hook sickle.

More often than not, when faced with heavy armored cavalry charges, it is difficult for ordinary people to respond calmly without changing their expressions, and the hook-and-scythe gun is rarely used on a large scale in actual combat; in the Party Army, the hook-and-scythe gun is rarely used on a large scale.

It's even rarer.

There are some hook-and-scythe spears used on the battlefield, most of which are long poles. They are specially used to defeat the opponent's powerful and brave armored soldiers.

Liu Qiong'er mainly helped Xu Huai stand in front to support the scene, not to establish her prestige as the leader of the third village. When she saw Xu Wukun also came to speak to Zhai Mazi, she took advantage of the situation and said: "With you two as guarantees, let's call Zhai Mazi

If you stay and have a good meal, there will be nothing to say."

Jinsha Gouzhai is not only short of people, but also short of people who can be trusted and relied upon.

Apart from other things, the news that Xu Wujiang and other soldiers turned into bandits cannot be openly publicized, at least there cannot be any conclusive evidence to fall into the hands of the inspection department and prefectures and counties.

Otherwise, if Zheng Hui is asked to push him from behind, even if the state and county do not want to wade into this muddy water, it will be difficult for them to find excuses.

In addition, before they have a stable foothold in Jinshagou, they must prevent Dazhai from intervening and participating in the mining of placer gold resources. The chute method cannot be leaked for the time being.

Therefore, no matter how many people gather here in Jinshagou, the first priority is to ensure that these people are controlled.

As for Xu Huai, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and others, it is impossible for them to do nothing and work as supervisors without blinking an eye.

First, select people who are related to each other, such as Father Han, Han Qi, and Zhai Mazi, and win them over as direct descendants. This will at least help keep everyone in check and not dare to act rashly. Then, you can proceed to the next step of recruiting and dividing, and finally make everyone

All my thoughts are settled in Jinshagou.
