Chapter 28: The Jurchen Attack

Liu Tong found Su Fan again. "Master, Liuzi sent news that the Jian slaves are moving."

"Hmm! I haven't acted yet, but this wild boar skin couldn't help it first." Su Fan's eyes erupted with cold killing intent.

"Little Six, what else did you find? How many people came, and where have those wild boar skins reached?"

Liuzi, whose original name was Su Liu, was a household of the Su family. He joined Liu Tong's guards six years ago and trained for six years. Practicing since childhood, his individual martial power is not inferior to a third-rate Jianghu expert, comparable to some of the dart masters of the Fuwei Escort Agency in the *Smiling Proud* period.

Now he has become a flag master of the scout team in Su Fan's hundred-household team.

He was sent a few days ago to watch the Jianzhou Guard.

"Liuzi sent news that there are at least four hundred people, currently in the Tangjiagou territory, about a hundred miles away from us."

"Coming so fast? Xibaoqipian'gu's Jianzhou Left Guard is over three hundred miles away from us. They walked half the distance in just a day and a half. It seems they are very anxious. Since that is the case, let them have no return."

"Liu Tong, go to the defense fort and summon all the hundred-household troops. This time, I want to let these foreign tribes in Liaodong know that if they dare to target me, then see if your teeth are good."

Since he established the defense fort three months after coming to Liaodong, after a year, there are now six hundred households and over three thousand people in the fort.

Almost all the village households around Qipan Mountain have been gathered.

Inside, there are now a full three hundred guards. Apart from the one hundred Su family servants, there are one hundred military households from the hundred-household post, and the remaining one hundred have only been formed for less than two months.

However, fortunately, these one hundred military households, Su Fan intends to train them into firearm soldiers.

The craftsmen sent by the Huashan Sect, plus the craftsmen he got from Shenyang City, total twenty-eight.

Originally, it was very slow to build bird muskets, but after Su Fan's assembly-line production, they can now build four bird muskets a day, and over a hundred a month.

It is enough. Su Fan is not trying to compete for the world, so he doesn't need too many bird muskets, just enough for the guards to use.

These one hundred people, after two months of training, have at least a certain combat power.

Of course, they haven't seen blood, so they can't be considered elite, not to mention comparing them to Su Fan's servants, even compared to the previous one hundred military households, they are several times worse.

After all, those people have experienced several battles.

With these three hundred people, plus dozens of Huashan Sect experts, even if the Jianzhou Guard sent over a thousand people, Su Fan wouldn't fear them.

Not to mention that only about five hundred came.

Ready to go, it took less than half a day for three hundred people to be ready, waiting for Su Fan at the defense fort.

"Senior Brother Lu, you take Li Heng and them first. You can choose to attack freely." Lu Hua and the others are Jianghu martial artists, so naturally, they are not suitable for army tactics. Instead, free surprise attacks are the most suitable for them.

"Rest assured, Junior Brother. Those foreign tribes dare to target us. This time, we will definitely not let them go back."

Lu Hua himself had no good feelings for these foreign tribes, and now they dared to target them, so his killing intent also soared.

So this time, they sent a total of forty people, half of whom were second-rate experts. Night surprise attacks would absolutely make the Jianzhou Guard look good.

As for Su Fan and the others, they would openly and honestly defeat those people.

The next day at noon, Su Fan led three hundred guards to a branch of the lower reaches of the Liao River.

He didn't choose to set an ambush because there were almost no good places for an ambush around here, so Su Fan chose to fight head-on. Although the Jianzhou Guard had cavalry, to be honest, the current Jianzhou Guard is not the later wild boar skin.

Moreover, Su Fan's guards are not the later Ming army.

In terms of equipment alone, Su Fan can hang and beat the Jianzhou Guard.

In later generations, wild boar skin could run rampant in the world, apart from the equipment on their bodies being better than the Ming army, there was also combat ability, which was also strong.

But now it is different. Just look at the poor Jianzhou Guard. Su Fan is prepared to tell them about the "krypton gold" style of play.

In the afternoon, the scouts had completely returned, and Lu Hua and the others also gradually returned. Their night raid last night caused no small damage to the Jianzhou Guard.

"Senior Brother, you've worked hard."

Looking at the dried blood on Lu Hua and the others, and the fact that some had injuries on their bodies, he also knew that last night's battle must have been quite intense.

Regardless, the Jianzhou Guard could be considered brave.

"Haha! We had a great time last night."

Lu Hua and the others didn't care. Although some were injured, in fact, such slaughter could also increase their combat experience.

"Junior Brother, we wiped out about a hundred people last night, and burned part of their military grain. Oh, those people have about five hundred in total. You should be careful later."

Lu Hua and the others had consumed quite a bit of internal energy after a night of running and fighting, so naturally, they couldn't fight anymore.

However, Su Fan didn't intend to let them fight either.

Xibaoqipian'gu and the others were less than twenty miles away from here, so Su Fan handed the guards over to Liu Tong.

Commanding a major battle, Su Fan had no experience, so naturally, he was not as good as Liu Tong, who came from a regular army background.

"Liu Tong, I leave it to you. Don't let me down."

"Master, rest assured. This time I will definitely make those people have no return." Liu Tong was very confident. Although the number of people under his command was not dominant, other aspects were generally dominant.

Especially the one hundred servants under his command, who were even more elite than the most elite army in the Nine Borders. It can be said that they were armed to the teeth.

A full set of chain mail—these armors are generally only possessed by high-level military officers.

Coupled with their forced physique, they are absolutely invincible on the battlefield.

Moreover, these one hundred people are cavalry, and the warhorses are also covered in armor. It can be said that he has the confidence to fight one against a hundred.

This time, Su Fan took out all his family assets. Before, those servants had never shown cavalry and armor.

"They're here!"

In the evening, the vibration from the distance came. A group of cavalry quickly killed their way toward Su Fan's small military camp.

After a long run, they stopped two miles away from Su Fan and the others. Obviously, they didn't attack immediately.

"Liu Tong, what are you going to do?"

Su Fan was a bit curious.

"Master, those bird musket teams are on the battlefield for the first time. Facing the Jian slaves' cavalry, it definitely won't work, so I plan to use heavy cavalry to charge the opponent."

"The Jian slaves didn't come to investigate us and don't know we have heavy cavalry, so I plan to hit them by surprise. It just so happens that they have been running fast all the way, and now is the most exhausted moment."

Liu Tong explained his thoughts.

"Very good! Not bad, then go ahead and do it boldly." Su Fan nodded upon hearing this and didn't stop him. "Later, I will take the rest of the people and follow behind you. After you charge the formation, we will go and fight. It can also let those new recruits see some blood."

"Master, you..."

"Rest assured, my strength, you don't know it yet? Don't worry about me." Su Fan naturally knew what the other party wanted to say and stopped him directly.

Su Fan is also feeling hot-blooded now. He really hasn't experienced a true major army slaughter. His predecessor only saw it in movies, but how could it be as intense as this? His whole body was heating up. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
