Chapter 36: The White Handkerchief in the Field

Li Xuan and Liu Bagou shook their heads helplessly in the back, and the butcher Chen in front of him was still leading people to play a game of mouse-fighting.

But I don't know how to play this game forever, the two sides played for half an hour, and the oil and torches carried by Chen Butcher and others were also used up, and they had to run around with a shield when they set the fire, and they were really tired and panicked.

So after half an hour, Butcher Chen led people to retreat, and after the fire was extinguished by the Shuilong Village, he didn't catch up, so the game of rat fighting between the two sides came to an end temporarily.

In this half an hour, both sides were running around, and they were tired enough, but after a long time of trouble, neither side was stunned and there were no casualties.

When Butcher Chen gasped and returned to the back, he saw Li Xuan frowning, Liu Bagou also had a bad face, and Fang Dongquan looked like I don't know you, I am ashamed to know you.

Even if he is a big man who doesn't know a single word, Butcher Chen also knows that he messed up this time and made a fuss for a long time, and he didn't release a single fart.

So after coming back, he just didn't have the same high profile as before, but lowered his head and looked like he obediently admitted his mistakes.

Li Xuan looked at him, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that it was useless to blame Butcher Chen for this, people were very rude, and when they set fires, they were indeed working hard, and they were tired enough to run around and set fires.

He just doesn't know how to be flexible, and he doesn't have the inspiration to adapt.

At that time, I found that the people in the water dragon village had prepared water, sand and gravel to extinguish the fire, so they should not toss back and forth like rats and set fires, not only did they not achieve any results, but also engaged in the battle between the two sides as funny as the game.

"This fire attack is ineffective, what other good strategies do you have to break the enemy?" Li Xuan didn't blame Butcher Chen, but asked everyone directly.

At this time, Fang Dongquan said: "The minister thinks that since the thief army has been prepared, I am afraid that the fire attack will be difficult to work, but our wooden shield in front of us is still effective, and we can take people to rush up to the wall!" ”

Guards General Wang Danxu Dao; "What General Fang means is that we directly rely on the giant shield to attack, but this wall is not short, and the place is small, so we can't let too many people go up together!"

Fang Dongquan said: "Even if the place is smaller, but it can accommodate dozens of people, when the time comes, we will break their wall first, and even if the people behind follow up, it should not be a big problem, even if there are some dead and wounded, it is better than dragging it now!" ”

Speaking of which, Fang Dongquan said: "We don't have much food, even if we save it, we can only eat it for another four days at most, if it drags on for a few more days, let's not talk about attacking Shuilong Village, it's a question of whether we can go back!" ”

Hearing Fang Dongquan's words, Li Xuan also pondered, Fang Dongquan was right, if any tactics or anything like that didn't work, and there was not much time left for them, the only way to do it now was to attack.

With this batch of wooden shields, at least they will not suffer too many casualties on the way to charge, as long as they rush to the wall to open the gap, then the men and horses of Huangzhushan can be sent up in a steady stream, and then the two sides will fight to the death at the gate of the wall.

In any case, the number of troops on his side is large, and he still has a guard army, so he still has a good chance of winning the battle.

However, although he had already made up his mind, he still asked Liu Bagou: "Prime Minister, what is your good plan?" ”

Liu Bagou said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can send someone to surrender, if the thief army of Shuilongzhai can be recruited, it can be described as a great good!" ”

Speaking of this, he also glanced at everyone, and then said: "Of course, we will go directly to surrender, I am afraid that these thieves of Shuilongzhai do not know the majesty of the emperor's grace, so before surrendering, this strong attack is still necessary, if this kind of thief army sees the bravery of our Datang Heavenly Soldiers, and then the surrender must be nine out of ten!" ”

Hearing that Liu Bagou was still obsessed with surrendering, Li Xuan was also speechless.

They are not officers and soldiers, and they are not really here to give grace to bring any good life to the people of Shuilongzhai, they are here to rob food and women, even if they don't say the latter, but the food must be robbed, in this case, people will surrender?

If they were in Shuilong Village, they would definitely be killed and not surrendered, this was robbed of food, how could they survive?

But fortunately, Liu Bagou also said that even if he surrendered, he would fight first and then say it, and then he would fight the other party before surrendering.

In the end, Li Xuan made a decision, now the big guy rests first, and then eats lunch, so that the more than ten strong bandits who used to act as the vanguard to set fire can recover their strength, and then the big guy will come again in the afternoon.

After the meeting was dispersed, the people of Huangzhushan and Shuilongzhai began to wait for small eyes from hundreds of meters apart.

In the afternoon, the people of Huangzhushan, who had eaten and drunk enough, acted again, and this time it was not like last time, only a dozen or so people rushed forward carrying wooden planks.

This time, Fang Dongquan, who had fought many armed battles, personally commanded and led more than thirty carefully selected strong bandits to act as the vanguard, some of them carrying huge wooden planks as shields, and some of them carrying long ladders, ready to act as the first wave of troops in the assault.

The second wave of centaurs was the Guards, and finally a large group of ordinary bandits.

When the bandits of Huangzhu Mountain set off, Li Xuan once again climbed the wooden platform in the rear to watch the battle, just like in the morning.

This time, the attack of the people in Huangzhushan was much stronger. Hundreds of people slowly moved forward, and they did not stop at a long distance as the main force did in the morning, and only let a dozen people come forward and set fires.

This time, the main force of Huangzhushan did not stop, and continued to move forward with a steady pace.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bagou touched his beard and said, "My Datang has this heavenly soldier, and sweeping Kyushu is just around the corner!" ”

Although his words were a bit exaggerated, Li Xuan still nodded, at least this time the attack of the bandits in Huangzhushan still looked like an army, and it was not as funny as in the morning.

So he was also looking forward to it, Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen took this opportunity to take the men and horses to attack in one go!

The forwards personally led by Fang Dongquan are getting closer and closer to the wall of Shuilong Village!

Four hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

Close, close!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

They're ready for the final charge!

However, at this time, above the gate of Shuilong Village, a white cloth suddenly appeared, this white cloth was very conspicuous in the battlefield of a solemn atmosphere, like a white handkerchief in the field of the wind, whether it was Fang Dongquan who was ready to charge, or Li Xuan and others in the rear, they all saw this white cloth at first sight,

What's going on?

The people of Shuilongzhai don't really want to surrender, right?

If you haven't fought a real fight yet, you're surrendering?
