Zhang Dubaozheng really took most of the people away, leaving only one guide for Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing, that Zhang Xizai - he knew the Liangshan thief, and he would be arrested later, and he would not be killed.

Because of the lack of two caravans, the number of carts has also decreased by two-thirds, and there are still more than a dozen, most of which are mule and horse-drawn carts loaded with crude drugs by Ximen Qing's family. Under Lin Wancheng's command, these mule and horse carts still formed a circular car formation, and people and horses were crowded in the inner circle.

More than thirty sentry sticks were removed from these carts, and the tips of the spears were installed in unknown places, and all of them were turned into long spears, which were distributed to Simon's guards and coachmen.

Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, Lu Qian, Guo Jing, Ximen Qing, Wu Song, and the other four guards of the Ximen family and the two guards of the Pan family, all of whom had a bow in their hands, and also carried arrows and paper armor.

More than a dozen round shields were also taken out and distributed to some of the Simon guards armed with machetes. Liu Wuji and the other two Pan family guards also took a large leather shield—which Lin Wancheng "borrowed" from the barracks—and guarded Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian, preparing to block them when the fight started.

All the saddles that walked the horses were unloaded and gathered together under Lin Wancheng's order, with the purpose of preventing someone from breaking through on horseback in a critical situation.

After completing these steps, Lin Wancheng ordered someone to extinguish the bonfire, leaving the car array hidden in darkness.

Looking at the arrangement of this old sect leader Lin who couldn't even afford a house in Kaifeng Mansion, it was all very orderly, Wu Haogu was also a little relieved, and he also thought of comforting Pan Qiaolian.

So he whispered: "Eighteen sister, don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

"Well," Pan Qiaolian also responded, her tone was calm, "Da Lang, I'm not afraid, with Uncle Lin in the middle, such a thief can't help us." ”

"Da Lang, Pan Niangzi, don't worry, this time you will definitely be able to repel thieves like Liangshan."

Lin Wancheng heard the conversation between Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian, and also opened his mouth to cheer up the two of them, and then said: "Chong'er, Lu Xiaoyi, you two are on guard, and the others can close their eyes and rest and recuperate." ”

Wu Song laughed when he heard this, "Hehe, you old sect leader is determined, and you are going to fight and ask people to close their eyes and recuperate?" ”

"Hehe," Lin Wancheng said with a smile, "When the old man and the thief fought more than thirty years ago, they should eat and sleep on the battlefield...... Eat well and sleep enough to fight! Wu Erlang, when you go to the battlefield in the future, you will know this reason. ”

"Okay, then Wu Er, I'll squint for a while, and then wake me up when the thief comes." Wu Song is not exactly a newcomer to the battlefield, although he has never fought the Western Thief, he has beaten the Cao Kou, so he is not panicked. After saying that, he closed his eyes, and after a while, he was snoring like thunder.

Wu Song was not the only one who snored, and among Ximen Qing's guards, there were three other men with bows and arrows and paper armor who also fell asleep. Wu Haogu followed the snoring prestige, but he couldn't see anything in the darkness. He thought to himself: These are probably the murderers who committed an accident in the Liao State, right?

Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian didn't feel sleepy at all, the two of them were arranged in the center of the car formation, snuggled together to keep warm, and there was a shivering vial next to them. Behind the three of them are piles of saddles, which can also block arrows, in front of them is Liu Wuji holding a shield, and there are two Pan family guards with shields on both sides, but they are well protected.

Time passed little by little, and only when the sky was about to dawn, there was no legendary Liangshan hero to rob. But sleepiness hit him again and again, just when Wu Haogu's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "It's coming!" ”

Who's coming?

Wu Haogu, who was in a daze, reacted a little slowly, and before he remembered that it was the heroes of Liangshan who came, he heard Lin Wancheng ask: "How far is it?" ”

"Ten miles at most."

"Wake up!" Lin Wancheng said loudly, "Let's move first, and then eat some dry food."

Xiao Yi, Chong'er, take the bow and stand on the car, the thief will shoot when he is close, don't talk nonsense with them! ”

"No!"

"No!"

Lin Wancheng is completely on the battlefield, but there is no "coming forward to talk" and "coming to the general to get his name", even if there is such a thing, it has nothing to do with him as a team general.

"Old Sect Leader Lin, isn't this okay?" Zhang Xizai was startled when he heard Lin Wancheng's order so decisive, and hurriedly said, "They are all friends on the rivers and lakes......

"No noise! Violators will be killed! ”

Lin Wancheng reprimanded in a deep voice, and then glared at Zhang Xizai viciously, making him tremble and say nothing.

Okay, Old Man Lin really regards this place as a battlefield!

On the other hand, the heroes of Liangshan didn't know that they were about to meet such a ruthless person. They were also tossed all night, and now they are a little sleepy.

It turned out that shortly after Chao Gai and his people set off from the shore of Daze Lake, Lin Wancheng ordered the bonfire to be extinguished. As a result, Chao Gai and the others were unfamiliar with the terrain at night, and there was no bonfire to guide them, so they couldn't find the direction at all. Like a headless fly, I wandered around for half a night, and it was not until after sunrise that I noticed a small array of cars not far from the soaked shore.

Military advisor Wu shook the car formation in front of him with a horsewhip, and said to Chao Gai: "Big leader, there is a car formation over there, it should be the business group surnamed Zhang's family." ”

Chao Gai looked at it from a distance, but his brows were furrowed, "Straight lady thief, why are you so ordered?" Didn't you say that there were forty or fifty carts, all full of goods? ”

"Big leader, maybe some of the chariots and horses went to Yucheng with the surname Wu."

Chao Gai nodded, "That's fine, it fell into the hands of Song Gongming, and even the car and people were plundered." ”

"Big Boss, what's going on over here?"

"Send a brother to shout, a cart will cost ten taws." Chao Gai is a good man, of course he has to talk. I said that I wanted to buy road money before, but now it's not good to start carjacking right away.

Wu used the order, so he sent a minions on foot (only the leader rode horses in the dignified Liangshan, and the minions were all on foot) to shout for money.

A minion swaggered forward when he got the order, and was about to shout when he was about a hundred paces away from the car formation, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard two soft sounds of "collapse" and "collapse", and before he could understand what was going on, there was a sharp pain in his chest that was torn. When I looked down, I saw two thin wooden sticks with feathers stuck to their tails stuck in their chests!

Then, it's dark in front of you, and you're going to die!

Seeing this scene, Chao Gai, Wu Yong and Zhao Tieniu were all dumbfounded. What's going on? Why did you shoot someone to death without even saying a word? The surname Zhang doesn't conform to the rules of the rivers and lakes......

"Big, big boss, didn't the surnamed Zhang receive a generous gift from Wu Haogu...... or Zhao Tieniu was the first to react, "Big boss, the surname Wu must have brought a large amount of money with him!" ”

Chao Gai glanced at the military master Wu Yong again, Wu Yong shook the feather fan and thought for a while, "Big leader, Brother Tie Niu is reasonable. ”

Chao Gai snorted: "Since the surname Zhang is unjust, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Tell the brothers to eat first, and then put on their armor and charge into battle! ”

"Whoa!"

The heroes of Liangshan are not iron-beaten, and after tossing all night, not only are people sleepy and tired, but they are also so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, and if they don't eat something, they may have low blood sugar when they fight later.

However, Liangshan's enemies will not allow the heroes to eat in peace.

"Father, the thief seems to be resting with food."

Lin Chong reported loudly.

"Outside the West Gate," Lin Wancheng said, "Do any of your people have people who can ride and shoot?" ”

"Yes." Ximen Qingdao said, "Murong Sanlang, Ma Shiyilang." ”

The two big men with gloomy faces and beards turned around when they heard this, looking at Lin Wancheng and Ximen Qing.

"You two get on your horses and go out to disturb the enemy, and you must not engage in battle, but you must mount and shoot, and if the enemy horses meet you, you will draw them within a hundred paces of the chariot."

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"
