Chapter 111: Let go of grudges with a smile (Additional update 22 for the reward of ten thousand swords)
With a look of reluctance, Lang Qing went to find someone to kill the horse so that everyone could eat meat to fill their stomachs.
In the following time, there was still a steady stream of soldiers and civilians arriving in front of Suifeng Dun.
With all the dust in his life, and full of complex emotions such as anger, pain, and hope towards the Tatars, he came to seek refuge with brother Hu Biao in Suifengdun.
It seems that as long as you come to Brother Hu Biao's place, everything will get better.
This is indeed the case. When they saw so many people gathered in Suifeng Dun, and saw the Tatar heads and armor, they immediately felt more confident.
I knew I was definitely in the right place when I came here.
It wasn't until after dark that the number and frequency of people coming gradually decreased. After 8 o'clock in the evening, no one was seen anymore.
This means that the entire Loess Fort area survived after a disaster by the Tatars.
And all the soldiers and civilians who are willing to risk their lives to fight with the Tatars should have arrived by now.
What surprised Hu Biao was that when no one came for more than ten minutes, Hu Biao was ready to return to Suifeng Dun and have something to eat first.
Then when he gathered a group of netizens to hold a meeting with Zhuge Liang, a character that he absolutely did not expect appeared in front of him.
It turned out to be his former boss who was taken away by Deputy Wang Qianhu and others. It was said that he was another highly-recruited Xie Gui, Mr.
It's just that less than a week has passed, but Mr. Xie now looks indescribably embarrassed. He no longer has the nostrils turned upward in the past.
The four servants who usually followed him were now gone.
When a single person appears, he is unspeakably disgraced.
Even the pair of soap boots under his feet, now only one is left, and the other one has gone somewhere, which shows how panicked he was along the way.
What surprised Hu Biao was yet to come. Just when Hu Biao came up to greet him and was about to say something, Xie Gui had already knelt down on the ground.
‘Pah, pah~’ meant firing the bow from left to right, and slapped his two big mouths hard.
The two mouths didn't hold back at all, and they slapped extremely hard. In the blink of an eye, both sides of Xie Gui's cheeks became swollen, and it hurt just to look at it.
Then Xie Gui walked forward on his knees and cried with blood in his mouth:
"Ahem, cough~ Brother Hu Biao, Mr. Hu, I, Xie Gui, am not a human being. I should not have had such dirty thoughts and methods towards you in the first place.
Even if you die at the hands of the Tatars, I won't dare to cause any trouble to you.
It's just that I've been coughing badly recently. The day before yesterday, my wife heard that eating apricots can relieve coughs and relieve asthma, so she took Wu Ergou and Ma Ming out of the city to pick them.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Tatars on the way back and all three of them were killed.
I, thank you, have no ability to avenge my wife, so I can only shamelessly come to see Mr. Hu. As long as you follow Mr. Hu and kill one or two Tatars, I will be at your disposal from now on.
If you have the slightest complaint, ask me to strike with thunder from Xie Guitian and die with thousands of arrows piercing your heart~"
After hearing the above paragraph, Hu Biao, who understood the various reasons, immediately let out a long sigh in his mouth.
He really never thought that Xie Gui, a rotten person with all kinds of bad things, actually had a good wife who cared about him, and the relationship between the two was quite good.
More importantly, in the brutal war between the two ethnic groups.
The original acrimony between them and Xie Gui seemed to be no longer so important, and they were completely put aside.
Even thinking about it, I still feel a little sad.
Petty officials like Xie Gui, as well as some wealthy and unkind landlords and wealthy men, who are usually arrogant in front of the people, are nothing more than ants under the general trend.
Finally, after Hu Biao helped Xie Gui on the ground, he said:
"Thank you, Sir, let's not talk about the grudges between us in the past; if we are still alive after this battle, then after a drink, all the bad things in the past will disappear.
You must have not eaten for a long time. Now go to Dunzhong and eat some horse meat. This is the only thing I, Hu Biao, can bring out now."
Hearing this, Xie Gui suddenly became more and more ashamed.
After bowing to Hu Biao again, he stood up and followed Hu Biao's footsteps, once again walking into the bustling Suifeng Dun.
The difference is that the last time he was here, Xie Gui was still the owner, and now he has become a guest.
After thinking of this, Xie Gui felt a little confused in his heart.
*******
A donkey was killed at noon, and more than a hundred pounds of donkey meat, plus some bones and offal, filled everyone's stomachs.
But after night, two pack horses were killed, and some people only ate half full. It seemed that tomorrow morning, maybe three horses would be killed to be enough.
Fortunately, with such a large food consumption, it also means that there is strength in numbers.
The more people we have on hand, the more confident Hu Biao and others will be in the success of their night attack plan.
No! After eating and drinking, and seeing so many people gathering, the morale of the large group of people, old and young, was obviously high.
Even after eleven o'clock in the evening, except for Ah Li and other seriously injured people who continued to rest in bed, everyone else was busy working enthusiastically.
Under the command of a few craftsmen, many people were repairing armor and polishing weapons.
Some rattan and wood were even cut and, under the demonstration of the craftsmen, used to make rattan armor, rattan shields, wooden shields, big sticks and other useful equipment.
It's just such a lively scene, but Hu Biao and others did not participate in it.
Because in comparison, they have something more important.
In the past period of time, they have understood and collected a lot of data, and now it is time for them to formulate a mature combat plan based on this.
After the group sat together, they first let out a collective breath.
Good guy! After such a busy day today, I have exhausted them all; but it seems that tonight will be another sleepless night.
After the meeting started, Fengrui said a piece of statistics with excitement on his face:
“As of now, not counting us surviving netizens, a total of 513 people have joined ‘Brother Hu Biao’.
There were 81 Ming soldiers inside, including 13 servants, 19 night guards, and 49 ordinary soldiers.
The rest are common people, including 273 men aged 16 to 45; there are 21 hunters among them, and their archery skills are quite good.
It can be said that every one of these more than 500 people has a blood feud with the Tatars and is a good man who is willing to risk his life. There is no need to worry about morale.
Brothers, you are so prosperous now.
Excluding those old, weak, women and children, we have a total strength of more than 350 people. When have we ever fought with such a large number of troops?
It is a pity that in these years, due to severe malnutrition, the physical fitness of the Ming army and civilians was far from being the match of the Tatars, especially in terms of night blindness.
I asked carefully and found that there were only 196 people without night blindness.
Otherwise, we can not only plan how to save people, but also think carefully about how to operate and kill the Tatar Baiyintu."
After hearing this, Hu Biao and others had no other solution besides having a headache.
Even if they are modern people, because they often hang out on the Internet, they almost all know some native methods on how to correct night blindness.
For example: boil water with pine needles or the inner layer of pine bark, and eat more animal offal.
The above methods have been used many times even in the history of the PLA and our army, and have achieved some quite good results.
No matter how effective these local methods are, they will not be effective within a day or two.
A problem immediately arose. With only 196 people without night blindness brought into the battle, the number of troops was quite insufficient. After bringing them along, how to coordinate along the way was a huge problem.
Anyway, in the whole night attack plan, it makes people’s heads hurt right from the beginning...
