Chapter 16 The game begins!

On the 48th year of Wanli - February 27th - the Spring Equinox, the day when Baisha Castle and Yongxing Castle "come to war" has come.

At dawn, the military households got up early, washed up, set fire to cook!

There was nothing fresh in breakfast, and it was mainly mushroom porridge, but the boys participating in the competition were exceptional. The steamed buns made of pure white flour were enough to eat, as well as pheasant and rabbit meat, which were more hearty than the New Year meal!

After eating and drinking, led by Grandpa Baihu and Grandpa Tartar, more than 300 men, women, young and old in the White Sand Castle were arranged in an orderly manner, holding a black flag and heading towards the ancient castle in a mighty manner!

No one in the team was empty-handed. The old soldiers were wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, holding swords, guns, bows and arrows, and several worn-out muskets. The women and children were holding sticks in their hands. Even the little kids who had just walked had to hold a small wooden stick, which completely explained what it means to be a soldier for the whole nation!

A team composed of the elderly, weak, women and children can all get out of this momentum. How majestic would it be if it were replaced by elite soldiers and powerful generals and iron hoofed scimitars?

Yulin is the bravest soldiers and the best in the world, and this is true!

Xue Yu, who was walking in the team, couldn't help but imagine when he could build an invincible army that was rampant in the world?

...

The castle is located on the east bank of the Kuye River, above a small mound. It is rammed with yellow earth. It is square in shape and has a circumference of about 30 feet. It is specifically left over from that dynasty and cannot be verified. Its quality is first-class. After years of erosion by wind and rain, it still stands up!

The earth wall is still eight or nine feet high, and there is a broken enemy building and a mercenary on it. There is a door hole directly south. The gate has long disappeared, leaving only stone door posts and countless traces of chopping and chopping axes. It can be seen that there has been a fierce battle here!

There is a gap in the northeast corner, which allows two people to enter and exit side by side. As for the castle, there is nothing left, with only two steps left to communicate up and down!

At the morning of the morning, the team of Baisha Castle came to the castle and stopped at a sunny position to regain their energy and wait for the battle!

"Child, the hundreds of people in the White Sand Castle can have enough food this year, it depends on you!"

"Grandpa Baihu, please rest assured. This fall, I will definitely let everyone have a full meal!"

"Thank you so much!"

...

A few days ago, Xue Yu came here, carefully observed the terrain, and conceived tactics. He dared not say that it was foolproof for today's game, as it would be a sure thing.

Let’s take a step back, even if I unfortunately lose today, I have other ways to let the soldiers of the White Sand Castle have a full meal!

Isn’t it just water diversion and irrigation? It’s not a difficult task for me, a top student!

"rumble!"

A moment later, the team of Yongxing Fort also arrived, and a large area of ​​blackness, at least six or seven hundred people, and everyone was holding swords, guns, sticks and sticks!

The first old man in his sixties was burly, with big and round waists, and a big, round head with no hair on it, shining under the sun!

The thirty boys who participated in the competition have already been selected. They are all burly guys with Kong Wu's powerful guys, which are not inferior to adults. The person in charge of the team leader is the old acquaintance - Liu Jinhu!

"Boss, the bald old man opposite is Liu Dasheng, an official from Yongxing Fort. Although he is a military officer, he knows the words and reads military books. He is very famous in a radius of hundreds of miles. In addition, he has a very big head and is born without hair. He is nicknamed: Liu Datou!

Liu Jinhu is his grandson. Don’t look at this guy who is tall and big, he is actually the same age as you, and he is fifteen years old this year!

Since he was eleven years old, he has been in charge of leading the team. He has won four consecutive victories in the deployment of troops. Boss, don’t underestimate the enemy!”

Gou Zuozi is also one of the team members, attached to Xue Yu's ears and quietly introduced the other party's situation!

Xue Yu nodded slightly and carefully looked at the Liu family’s grandparents and grandchildren, as well as the other team participating in the competition, so that he knew it!

"Brush!--Hmm?"

At the same time, Liu Jinhu also saw Xue Yu and his body trembled involuntarily. It seemed that what happened last time left him a deep memory!

But soon, he raised his chest and looked up, looking at the sky with his eyes, and made a gesture of "I'm not afraid of you"!

To be fair, the last ice hole incident did scare Liu Jinhu. He had nightmares for more than ten nights and was even more scared of Xue Yu, but he was still a little dissatisfied!

The ancients said: Being brave and fierce is just the courage of an ordinary man, and it is insignificant!

Han Xin was also humiliated by the crotch, but later he became a general and made ten major military achievements. He was even respected by the world as a military immortal!

As for the butcher who insulted Han Xin, he didn't even leave his name and did nothing for his life!

Similarly, the little setback last time was nothing. As long as you defeat Xue Yu in today's game, you can prove that you are the real strong man, and the nightmare that has been bothering you for many days will disappear.

The question is, can you win?

After comparing the age, height and physique of the participants on both sides, Liu Jinhu felt full of confidence. Can a group of big guys still beat a group of small guys?

"Song Cutezi, everything is ready for our Yongxing Fort!"

"Liu Datou, our White Sand Castle is always with you!"

"Since that's the case, let's start according to the old rules!"

"Okay, start!"

The officials from both sides exchanged a few greetings and announced the start of the game. The rules of the game were very simple. First, the leaders of both sides guessed the copper coins, guessed one side was responsible for defense, and inserted a red flag into the castle!

The wrong side is responsible for the attack!

With one hour limit, if one side attacks, it can attack the castle within the specified time and win the red flag, otherwise it will be defeated!

When participating in the competition, the attacking side had red cloth tied with the left arm and the guarding side had blue cloth tied with the right arm to show the difference, and the numbers were marked on each child's back!

As for weapons, they are all wooden swords, spears, and shields. The attacking side is equipped with two ladders, and the defense side has dozens of grass balls to serve as wooden rolling stones!

The weapons are covered with white ash. After a while, the fight can be determined based on the location of the white ash, minor injuries, serious injuries, or death!

Also, four veterans from each side serve as referees to supervise the competition process so that no one can cheat, but they can only supervise and cannot help secretly, otherwise they will be sentenced to lose.

"Please lead the team from both sides to come forward, guess the copper coins, and determine the offense and defense!"

A veteran walked out and took out a copper coin from his arms. The words "Wanli Tongbao" were on the front, and the reverse was smooth!

On the side of Yongxing Fort, Liu Jinhu gritted his teeth and walked out, looking very unnatural!

On the side of the white sand castle, Xue Yu walked out, his face as calm as water without any slight tide!

"Two young men, please guess the front and back!"

Liu Jinhu: "I want to face the front!"

Xue Yu: "The opposite side!"

"Okay, both sides have chosen it, and no regrets are allowed. Whoever attacks and defends will be left to fate!"

"Brush!--Pick!"

The veteran shook his wrist, threw the copper coins high, and fell to the ground, with the side with the words facing up!

"Huzi, good, haha!"

"Tianzhu Yongxing Fort, we will win this year's competition!"

Liu Jinhu guessed it. The Yongxing Fortress cheered and even chants and chants to celebrate the victory in advance. The Baisha Castle everyone looked solemn and kept screaming in secret!

Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that attack is difficult and defense is easy!

Generally speaking, the offensive side must have more than three times the strength of the troops to have the hope of defeating the defensive side. Although it is a game between children, the reason is the same!

Yongxing Castle is already strong and now it has a defensive advantage, just like a tiger adding wings. It is even more difficult for the White Sand Castle side to win.

Liu Jinhu also breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smug smile on his face, and led the team into the castle to prepare for defense. Xue Yu also led the team to the south of the castle to line up to prepare for offense.

Next, we will arrange troops!

After the formation, the constant and wonderful use of military tactics lies in one's heart!

War is not only a competition of courage and strength, but also a competition of wisdom!

The advantages and disadvantages of the commanders of both sides directly affect the outcome of the game!

I have to admit that Liu Jinhu is still a little clever. After entering the castle, he immediately divided his hands into three, eight people guarding the gate hole in the south, eight people guarding the gap in the northeast, and led the rest to the earth wall and defending from a high position!

The door opening and gap are the key points of the castle. It is logical that more people should be sent to defend.

But, these two places are too narrow. If there are too many people, they will not be able to use them, and instead waste people. Eight people are just right!

As for the red flag, it was inserted in the northwest corner, which was the least vulnerable to attack. Four people were sent to guard it to ensure that everything was foolproof!

"Young Master Hu is so capable of deploying troops at such a young age. He will definitely be a talented general in the future!"

"This is a good way for our 100-home adults to train. The Liu Family Guang family is just around the corner!"

...

"Haha, thank you all, if my Liu family really can produce a general, I will definitely not forget the villagers of Yongxing Fort!"

Liu Jinhu's defensive method is hard to say, but it is rare for a fifteen-year-old boy to have such a military mind.

Therefore, the people in Yongxing Castle praised each other, and Liu Datou was also very proud, but while being proud, he did not forget to see how the team of Baisha Castle arranged the tactics!

As a result, when I saw it, I laughed even more!

Baisha's team, let alone arranging tactics, didn't even have basic formations. Dozens of children gathered together in a mess, some chattering, some running around back and forth, without any discipline!

Looking at the young man in the team leader, he looked at the sky without saying a word, looking naturally stupid, as if he had given up!
Chapter completed!
