With Deng Gui, Wang Zhen, Lu Xiong and others around, Xu Huai didn't need to worry about trivial matters. After eating and drinking, he went to sleep soundly in the backyard of the butcher shop. When he got up the next day, he saw Yin Peng leading people in the small yard.
After practicing the formation, there were twice as many young men as there were dozens of rogues yesterday.
In addition, Tang Pan, the inspector general, was wearing armor and carrying a bow and knife, and was standing in the yard with a young man, as if waiting for him.
Tang Pan is a rare good player among the younger generation of the Tang family. He is usually very arrogant in the military camp, and even Xu Xin'an is not impressed by him.
However, Xu Huai just didn't like the Tang family, so he glanced at Tang Pan and the young man, took a bucket of water from the well in the corner of the courtyard, and stood in front of the porch to pour it on his head and wash his face.
Tian Yanyan brought breakfast food on a wooden plate and passed by Tang Pan, but deliberately lowered her head not to look at him.
Xu Huai thought to himself, before he told Xu Xin'an about promising Tian Yanyan to him, Xu Xin'an's head was already green?
Seeing that the tray brought by Tian Yanyan contained only one piece of wheat cake and a bowl of gruel, Xu Huai raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this what you want?"
"It has been said in medical books that if you are tired of getting up in the morning, it is better to eat lighter in the morning!" Tian Yanyan said aggrievedly.
"Come on, you little bird! What kind of bullshit medical book are you reading? You girls have nothing to do to get up and strum the strings a few times, sit in front of the window with a torn book in your arms, and think about seducing men. You look so disgusted that you can eat half a wheat cake.
Are you dying, are you like you? Go and get two more wheat cakes and some cold meat with soy sauce!" Xu Huai scolded dissatisfied, "I don't have to marry a wife. I earn rewards but don't eat too much.
Drink up your ass?"
"Mr. Xu, why can't you be gentler to the little lady?" The gangsters watched the excitement and came over to say, "Miss Yanyan is as tender as being made from water and powder. When others hold their hands, they are afraid that they will melt."
, you are good enough to send her to do such rough work..."
"Tian Yanyan's redemption price is five hundred guan. If your grandson can go into battle and get thirty thieves' heads, it will only hurt you to buy her back. How can I scold her?" Xu Huai chuckled, "How about you guys?
These scoundrels gathered thirty heads of thieves together to redeem Tian Yanyan for fun?"
"Haha, what an idea!" The gangsters laughed loudly, and they discussed going into battle to gather people to redeem Tian Yanyan, and then take turns serving each of them for two days, which would definitely be a fairy's enjoyment.
When the gangsters talked about this, their expressions were indescribably vulgar, and their eyes as they looked at Tian Yanyan were also unscrupulous.
In front of a group of fools, Wang Xuan returned to the military camp and had not come over yet. Tian Yanyan could only carry the porridge and cakes back to the kitchen with tears in her eyes to prepare Xu Huai's breakfast again.
…………

Seeing that Xu Huai ignored them and treated Tian Yanyan so rudely, Tang Pan gritted his teeth. After a while, he walked over with the young man and said with a dark face: "Deng Langjun ordered me and Brother Zhong to
Today I will take people with Master Xu out to the market to fight against thieves..."
"Are you the Zhonghe whose whole family is dying, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and who crawled out of a dog hole?" Xu Huai sat on the steps, raised his head and saw that the young man looked very talented, and asked in a low voice.
"I have never been afraid of death. I left my life to avenge the Zhong clan!" Zhong He said through gritted teeth with veins on his forehead twitching.
"It's useless for you to say these cruel words to me. When we get out of the market later, I'll beat you up, just don't get in our way." Xu Huaihun said without hesitation.
Tang Pan, Zhong He dared to stand up today, which shows that there are still brave men in the clan and the military soldiers in the army, which is a good thing. Deng Gui asked them to follow him to fight, probably because he wanted to sharpen the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the general village.
Sharpen up.
However, Pan Chenghu's troops crossed the Baijian River yesterday afternoon, faster than he expected. It can be concluded that Zheng Hui made timely adjustments based on the changes in the situation in Huaiyuan.
In this way, the two provocations he took out of the market at dusk and night yesterday must have fallen into Zheng Hui's eyes.
It was impossible for Zheng Hui to allow him to comfortably use this method to gradually improve the morale and resistance of the Huaiyuan soldiers and civilians; it was also impossible for him to tolerate him using this method to continuously gain experience with many scoundrels.
Even if Pan Chenghu doesn't want to fight today, Zheng Hui will find a way to force him to take action.
Xu Huai didn't plan to leave the market too far today. He just wanted to walk four to five hundred steps to the east side of the market and let the many thugs yell at each other. In this way, it would be convenient to escape back to the market if the situation was not right.
If Tang Pan and Zhong He could follow his lead and listen to his orders whether they advance or retreat, Xu Huai would not mind taking them out, but these two grandsons came up to him to talk and wanted to pinch their noses. Xu Huai could also break off his toes.
He guessed that if he really left the market, the two grandsons would definitely get into trouble with him.
On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and any hesitation will be fatal. Xu Huai dares to take them out to play?
It is commendable to have bravery and spirit, but Xu Huai will not take care of things that cannot be taken care of at the same time.
Seeing that Xu Huai looked disgusted and thought they were in the way, the arrogant Tang Pan and Zhong He, who harbored family hatred and clan feud, almost lost their noses in anger.
They didn't want to talk softly to the idiot in front of them anymore, so they went out to find Deng Gui, thinking of leading the army alone to test the blades of the traitors instead of joining these rogues.
After Xu Huai had eaten and drank enough, he rode on horseback and led Yin Peng, Zhao Tu, Chen Gui and others to the east end of the market. From a distance, he saw Tang Pan, Zhong He and more than 20 people each had gathered at the east end of the market.
Get ready to go out.
On the slopes to the east of the market, several groups of bandits were already approaching, spying on the goings-on in the market.
Xu Huai sat on the horse, pulled the reins and stopped in front of the horse-rejecting formation that blocked the main street. Deng Gui, Wang Zhen, and Lu Xiong were all standing here, looking out with frowns.
The number of bandits coming from Yingzizui did not increase, but the horses they mounted, the swords and bows they carried, and the armor they wore were obviously not the same group as the new bandits who appeared yesterday.
The bandit army has already taken control of several important locations outside Huaiyuan such as Tiaohutan and Yingzizui. They have been trying to replace the new bandits with gangsters all night long. It is difficult for them to detect it in advance, even at Yingzizui.
Or Tiighu Beach and other places beyond their sight, there may be more bandit soldiers ambushing in the dense forests of the valley.
However, how could it be possible that Deng Gui, Wang Zhen, Lu Xiong and others couldn't see anything unusual because of their poisonous eyes?
Deng Gui, Wang Zhen, and Lu Xiong stopped the Tang Pan and Zhonghe teams. They were standing in front of the horse to discuss. Xu Huai rode his horse over and listened to their discussion. He was worried that going out of the market to contact the rebels as planned would probably
It is difficult to control the casualties, and if we stay in the market today and do not go out to contact the rebels and continue to boost morale, we are worried that the people's hearts and morale that have finally been cheered up will be lost again.
Xu Huai could see Wang Zhen, and Lu Xiong was also hesitant. They knew clearly that the rebels had evil intentions, and whether they stepped on this trap or not would be their fault.
Xu Huai placed the heavy penetrating moon bow in front of the saddle and flapped it gently in a rhythmic manner.
"We still have to fight!" After Xu Huai hinted, Lu Xiong said in a deep voice, "As soon as we show weakness, the bandit army will approach, and we won't have time to create more obstacles along the edge of the market to restrict the bandit army's entry and exit. However,
You have to be particular about how you fight, you all come here and listen..."
"Yin Peng, you and Zheng Tu go over and listen." Xu Huai lazily reined in the reins and asked Yin Peng and Zheng Tu over to listen to Lu Xiong's detailed tactical arrangements for today's battle. Don't talk about Wang Zhen and Deng Gui, even if they are
Lu Xiong also impressed Tang Pan and Zhong He. Of course they couldn't stand Xu Huai's rudeness and arrogance, but he had no record to criticize, so they had to obediently walk to Lu Xiong and listen to his explanation of the specific arrangements.
"I was a veteran of the Western Army in the old days. I think many people know that when I was in Huaiyuan, I often heard people talking about the Western Army and praising its majesty. However, the details of the Western Army's battles against the Party members in Jingyuan and other places were unclear.
It is rarely mentioned, so I will tell you about it today..." Lu Xiong looked around and explained the specific combat arrangements on behalf of Wang Zhen and Deng Gui. He was better at details than Wang Zhen and Deng Gui.
In order to defend against the Dangxiang people, Dai Viet stationed tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Jingyuan and other places in Hexi. However, they lacked good horses. The Western Army was mainly infantry. Facing the Dangxiang people who had an absolute advantage in cavalry, the Western Army was strategically unable to carry out the attack.
Long-distance roundabout, mobile operations.
For nearly a hundred years, the Western Army has used the method of building forts and shallow attacks to expand its territory little by little toward the periphery in its operations against the Party members.
The situation they faced in Huaiyuan at this time was similar to the combat situation of the Western Army's defense against the Dangxiang people. If they wanted to fight in a roundabout way over a longer distance, they would undoubtedly be asking for humiliation.
Lu Xiong said all this, he was also afraid of Tang Pan, Zhong He and Zhong He were young and energetic. It would be difficult for them to control their emotions when they went out from the market to meet the bandits, and they could easily be lured into an ambush in depth by the bandits.
Deng Gui would gather three to five teams of soldiers and horses in the market to prepare for reinforcements, but without cavalry, the distance for reinforcements was limited, and he also had to consider being able to withdraw from the market in time when the rebels swarmed.
Therefore, when Xu Huai and others go out to implement shallow attack tactics, the limit distance of contact operations needs to be determined in advance.
The rogue and indignant youths, as well as the remnants of the Zhong family that Zhong He had assembled for the battle, were very weak in forming formations for field battles. Therefore, Lu Xiong arranged for the two groups to march eastward along the horse path, keeping a distance of about two to three hundred paces in front and back to ensure that they were able to catch the enemy's cavalry.
When the attack comes, they can form a formation to resist the impact in the shortest time.
The enemy cavalry usually did not attack the long contradiction formation directly from the front, but mostly looked for opportunities from the flanks, or fired with bows and crossbows. Therefore, Tang Pan led a more complete army and had better-trained patrol officers and soldiers.
The flanks marched eastward on a rugged slope, and the three teams of men and horses maintained a vertical formation to support each other at all times.
In particular, the military soldiers led by Tang Pan needed to intersperse on both sides of the horse path, and it was quite complicated and difficult to deal with the outflanking of the enemy's cavalry on different flanks.
The core of all this is to ensure that Xu Huai can come and go independently and capture fighter jets.
Xu Huai's position, which was originally responsible for patrolling, now became the core of the entire tactical arrangement. Seeing that Tang Pan was completely unconvinced by Lu Xiong's arrangement, Xu Huai laughed and said:
"Zheng Tu said that you were looking at Tian Yanyan's breasts just now, and that bitch Tian Yanyan looked at you as if your eyes were filled with water. You probably have adultery, and you want me to keep an eye on you. You said Zheng Tu Tu Is this nonsense, or do you really have an idea to hit Tian Yanyan?"
Butcher Zheng helped Xu Huai lead the horse and whispered: "Where can I have it?"
"Nonsense." As a rising star of the Tang family, Tang Pan was mature and stable in the military village, but when Xu Huai exposed the matter, he could only deny it in panic.
"Okay, I don't care if Zheng Tu is talking nonsense. Let's do this. Find someone to lead the team for you, and you can hunt the bandits independently. If you can hunt more bandit heads than me today, Tian Yanyan will be in vain. I’ll make you sleepy all night!”
"You! I won't let you trample Tian Yanyan like this. Wait until I give her thirty heads of thieves in exchange for her!" Tang Panjun's face turned pale with anger and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Tang Xia, Tang Qing, you come to lead the team. Mr. Lu just said Do you remember everything I said clearly?"
