Chapter 2130: Gui Zijuan criticizes the arrogance and destroys the weak, and comes down in one go

Qiu Zida wrinkled his forehead into an "Ω" shape and licked his lips, "Brother, what do you mean, let's take down the entire Youjiazhuang first?"

Qiu Zifeng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Brother, is this map trustworthy? Why is it so detailed and detailed? It has everything you need, and the way the map is drawn seems to be different from ordinary maps."

He Huan also rubbed his chin: "By taking down Youjiazhuang, the iron barrel formation in Huaining Village will be broken. Suji Village can break through from here. It is said that Suji Village has thousands of stones of grain stored in it. Suji Village Su Laobai from the village raised several good daughters. One was married to the Qingjian County Prime Minister as a house filler, one was married to Liao Guochang, the inspector of the Yanshui Pass Inspection Department, another was married to Guo Laosan, and the other was a maid of honor. ,…”

“Old He, how do you know so clearly?” Qiu Zitong and Sun Lun asked in unison.

"Haha, the Su family's four daughters are famous in Qingjian. Wang Ermazi's younger brother Wang Chengbiao is said to have admired the Su family's three daughters, the one who married Guo Laosan. He was ridiculed by others, so he is also Wang Ermazi felt deeply ashamed and humiliated for this, so he went to Qingcaowu to become a thief..."

Seeing that even Qiu Zixiong's eyes were on him, He Huan smiled awkwardly: "Boss, this is what someone from Qingjian said. He is under my command. He is from Huaining Village." People, but they were kicked out a long time ago, so they are no strangers to these stories."

Qiu Zixiong snorted, "Huanzi, stop listening to these boring tidbits and ask for some useful information? There are only seven or eight hundred people in Youjiazhuang. As long as they can cross that dark ditch, the fourth one can solve it. Youjiazhuang's elite soldiers numbered only a hundred or so, and they were all summoned by the Guo family to Guojiazhai. Suji Village was larger but only had one or two thousand soldiers, and its elite soldiers numbered three to four hundred. It is said that the Guo family still had For the sake of face, only 300 people were left, and only more than 100 people were taken away. The shape of Lotus Village is the most scattered. You see, it is like a bud, loose on the outside and tight on the inside. If you poke it in from here, the center will bloom..."

Qiu Zixiong's last words were a bit weird, which made everyone present laugh. However, they were afraid that Qiu Zixiong would get angry, so they lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.

Qiu Zixiong hadn't realized it yet: "If we break in from here, the gate of Lianhua Village will be opened. We can then protrude from here, break into Suji Village, sprint repeatedly, and defeat directly..."

Finally, Sun Lun, who had the closest relationship with Qiu Zixiong, couldn't help it anymore and laughed: "Boss, let me slow down, what you said is too..."

Only then did Qiu Zixiong see the suppressed smiles on everyone's faces, and realized that there were many ambiguities in his words. For a moment, he didn't know whether to have an attack or just laugh it off. Fortunately, Qiu Zifeng was the most understanding brother and immediately interrupted. Kai: "Brother, we all understand what you said. We must defeat Youjiazhuang first. You can enter Lianhua Village from the west of Youjiazhuang, or you can directly enter Suji Village from the north of Youjiazhuang. This is the closest, but if After conquering Lianhua Village, enter Suji Village from the northeast of Lianhua Village. The connection here is the tightest, there is almost no obstruction, and the loss is probably the smallest..."

Qiu Zixiong's eyes followed Qiu Zifeng's fingers moving on the map, and he nodded: "What the second brother said is right, but I think if we want to be quick, we can use a two-pronged approach. As long as we capture Youjiazhuang, we will split into two groups and attack Su on one side. Jizhai, while attacking Lianhuazhuang. If the attack on Sujizhai is blocked, there is no need to attack by force. When Lianhuazhuang is broken, we will attack from the flank, but I think Sujizhai may not have the strength to stop us. One hundred strong men , do you really think they are a tough guy?"

“Yes, brother is right, we are going to decide on the four daughters of the Su family!” Qiu Zitong said cheerfully.

“You bastard, this is a discussion about war!” Qiu Zixiong glared at his fourth brother angrily, “You think we’re dividing the spoils!”

"Boss, Zi Tong is right. There is no suspense in this battle. But after the battle is over, we still have to think carefully about whether we should attack Guojiazhai by force, or encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, forcing the Qingjian County Guards to come to the rescue. Take the opportunity to fight an ambush?" Su Lun changed the subject.

Qiu Zixiong laughed, "I think this problem can be easily solved. With the tens of thousands of stones of food in Guojiazhai, it is impossible for the guards in Qingjian City not to come, so we must attack Guojiazhai in one go and force The Qingjian City Guards Army will come to rescue them and give them another blow. Next we can consider whether to attack Qingjian City or Suiping Village, it depends on the situation."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised. They knew that Qiu Zixiong was firmly opposed to attacking Qingjian City at the beginning. Why did he change his mind now?

They are all close confidants of Qiu Zixiong, and they also vaguely understand that the boss and Governor Feng seem to have some kind of tacit understanding, which is an agreement not to fight in various counties.

If this agreement is broken, what will happen to their relatives and family members in the north?

"Don't worry, I have my own reasons." Qiu Zixiong was full of confidence, "Ignore these for now, let's capture Youjiazhuang, Lianhuazhai and Sujizhai. Youjiazhuang will be presented by the two of you, Lao Si and Huanzi. Remember to go around. After crossing Fusha, don't stop, go straight to the north, and control the passage to Suji Village first. Youjiazhuang has no ability to resist, and the only one who can support them is Suji Village,..."

The setting sun was like a fire in July, and there was no sign of darkness at all. When Qiu Zitong led a group of men and horses to move carefully from the lowland next to the floating sand, they met the villagers from Youjiazhuang head on.

The poor villagers were shot to the ground by a series of arrows before they could even sound the gong to warn them. The blood slowly soaked into the yellow soil, leaving only a dark red soil.

"Quick!" Qiu Zitong led the soldiers, shouting lowly and fiercely, driving the soldiers quickly around the village gate. The two villagers who came out were chopped down by him and another Baitang village master on the spot, one by one. The spear pierced the heart and killed him instantly.

 “Who is it?” Dozens of people poured out from behind and finally noticed something unusual.

These days, although it is located in the territory of Huaining Village, it is reasonable to say that no one within a hundred miles of this area dares to stroke the tiger's beard, but who made the severe drought in these consecutive years make the whole of northern Shaanxi seem restless? It's like a hornet's nest. If you touch it casually, it will make a buzzing sound. If you are not careful, you will cause abnormal trouble, so you don't dare to be careless.

When they saw the people from Baitangzhai swarming in from behind like a stream of people, the people in Youjiazhuang suddenly changed their colors. Even if they didn't know who the other party was, so many people who suddenly appeared in the village knew that the other party was definitely not out of good intentions. Come.

Qiu Zitong simply waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Kill!"

 The archers who gathered in the shortest time drew their bows and launched the first wave of attacks.

 With the first wave of strikes, Youjiazhuang Ding was caught off guard, and a dozen people fell down. What was even worse was that the screams of those who were hit by arrows destroyed the will of those around him to resist.

They themselves were caught off guard, and their numbers and combat effectiveness were not at the same level. Moreover, the fierce momentum displayed by Qiu Zitong and the others completely suppressed the people of Youjiazhuang. There was almost no suspense, and Youjiazhuang staged a coup. A one-sided annihilation battle.

The defeat of Youjiazhuang had almost no impact on the neighboring Suji Village and Lianhua Village. Qiu Zixiong's previous full mobilization and careful preparations played a huge role this time, and Feng Ziying also provided them with extremely accurate and effective intelligence, allowed them to attack Suji Village and Lianhua Village without any hindrance after taking Youjiazhuang in one fell swoop. More than 3,000 people perfectly demonstrated their combat effectiveness at this moment.

In just two hours, nearly 6,000 people in three villages fell under the control of Qiu Zixiong's troops, and the cost was less than 100 casualties, of which less than 40 were killed, which is very small.

 The harvest is extremely rich.

Qiu Zixiong didn't even have much thought to care about other things. He only cared about the two supplies of food and weapons. The former was what Feng Ziying was concerned about, and the latter could quickly replenish his losses and even further strengthen his strength.

Although these three villages are all within the scope of Huaining Village, it does not mean that everything is peaceful here. There are also many people who are dissatisfied and hostile to the people in charge of the villages, and there are also many people at the bottom who are suffering from hunger. Hungry, when Qiu Zixiong's army invaded and completely shattered all these shackles of rules, countless people took the initiative to surrender to Qiu Zixiong, which even made Qiu Zixiong feel troublesome.

As many as six or seven hundred people wanted to join his army, so he did not dare to accept it easily. If he continued on this scale, wouldn't it be long before he had to expand to tens of thousands?

 This is not necessarily a good thing.

Qiu Zixionghe knew very well that his battle could not explain anything. The real test was far away. If his subordinates were filled with too many farmers who were just trying to fill their stomachs and lacked training, then his army would be in trouble. The time is not far off.

But seeing that these hundreds of elites were all bent on joining, neither he nor his subordinates found it difficult to refuse. In addition, with the collection of a batch of weapons, donkeys and horses from Suji Village, there was no way to expand the scale. My thoughts are really hard to explain.

"Boss, we caught it. The stewards in Suji Village interrogated it. There were about 1,800 stones of corn, more than 900 stones of wheat, and more than 500 stones of flour and japonica rice in the warehouse behind the village. There are also more than a hundred stones... and there are more than 300 sheep and more than a hundred pigs in the back village." Su Lun's face was full of excitement and he rubbed his hands eagerly, "Boss, that's all. We want this flour. It’s decided, we must take it with us. There are more than ten large trucks in Houzhuang, which can be used to load them. We have to take them with us wherever we go,..."

For the soldiers, perhaps the happiest thing is to eat cooked and steamed cakes as dry food for their travels. During this year, it is more practical and more useful than anything else.
