"Won't it?" Xu Luqing was stunned.

"Yes!" Xu Jie frowned slightly.

Seeing Xu Jie's frown, Xu Luqing's heart couldn't help but rise again, and he whispered:

"Father, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xu Jie shook his head, exhaled a breath and said, "Luo Xin is a very strange person, on the surface, he is very in awe of His Majesty, and even a little afraid. In fact, I have observed him all these years and found that he did not have much reverence for His Majesty.

From the time he drove out the northern Tartars, he had resisted and disobeyed. As long as he thinks it's right, he will stick to it. Therefore, His Majesty's decree to him has no effect. He will still slaughter the Eighteen Villages.

In this way, when he returns to the court, he will definitely lose his official position, which is the real purpose of his father. ”

Jiangxi.

The Ninth Village.

Liang Dalongtou sat on the big wooden chair in the middle, and on either side sat six strong men, all of whom were brothers who followed him from birth to death.

"Big brother, what are the officers and soldiers trying to do?" The first man on the left said with a puzzled face: "They just blocked the intersection, did not attack, did not retreat, what do they want to do?" ”

"yes, it's been more than five days."

"Do you find out how many of them there are?"

"There was no way to find out, they all hid in the woods, and only about 500 men were sent to guard the junction at a time, and when we sent people, they shot arrows, and they couldn't get close at all. The road was a kilometer long, but only two people wide. ”

"Big brother, I don't think it's as good as this." A man on the first chair on the right said, "Should we gather the other cottages and tribes and let them make a detour behind the officers and soldiers?" ”

Liang Dalongtou nodded and said: "I didn't expect that this time the officers and soldiers would hit our ninth village so quickly, and it was only a month in total." Last time, Hu Zongxian only built five cottages, and it took several months. It didn't make me react, and it's my fault. ”

"Big Brother ......"

Liang Da Longtou waved his hand and stopped everyone: "When the eighth village is lost, I will send people to inform the leaders of other cottages, and the patriarchs of various tribes to gather here to discuss the trend of resisting the government, and let the government be free for a few days." ”

"Big brother is wise."

"Let's prepare, the cottage is different from each tribe, there are still eight days before the time of the gathering, it is estimated that in two or three days, people will begin to arrive, this is a major event related to our mountain people, to the owners of the village and the tribal patriarch, we must entertain well."

"Yes!"

"How is Zhang Daoyuan?" Liang Dalong looked at the third position on the left.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him!" The man's face showed disdain: "He thought of leaving the cottage under the pretext of mobilizing his subordinates." Or the eldest brother, you are wise and martial, let him send someone to mobilize his men to the cottage and put him under house arrest in the cottage, otherwise he will really let this kid escape. ”

"Hehe......" Liang Dalong smiled and said, "If he wants to use us, he thinks too simply." However, as far as I know, Zhang Daoyuan's men still have seven or eight thousand people, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. If Zhang Daoyuan's people can come, we have another chance of victory. ”

"Big brother."

A figure from far and near, rushed through the gate.

"Big brother, there is an officer and soldier at the back gate of the cottage."

"What?" The big dragon's face changed, and he suddenly stood up: "How many people are there?" ”

"I don't know, there are about 500 people guarding the other side of the kilometer mountain road, but I can see the shadows of people in the woods, I don't know how many people there are."

"Let's go, let's see."

The big dragon head strode out of the gate with an ugly face.

At the back gate of the ninth village, the big dragon head and several leaders climbed the height and looked, and saw about 500 officers and soldiers guarding the other end of the narrow mountain road that was a kilometer long and two people wide, and in the woods about a thousand kilometers away from them, there were many people, and I don't know how many people there were. The big dragon head thought for a while and said:

"Second brother, send a few hundred brothers out to test it."

"Good!"

The second child turned around and jumped down, and after a while, more than 500 people walked out of the gate, each holding a wooden shield in his hand, and walked along the narrow mountain road to the opposite side.

The officers and men on the opposite side began to line up in an organized formation, and a fan-shaped array was formed at the end of the narrow mountain road, so that the mountain people walking on the mountain road had to resist not only the arrows fired from the front, but also the arrows fired from the oblique thorns on both sides.

When the mountain people entered the land of an arrow, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side only assumed the posture of archery, but did not release the arrow. Those mountain people held wooden shields, looked at the dense bows and arrows on the opposite side, and one by one they were terrified, grinding forward step by step.

When I entered the land of half an arrow, I suddenly heard a loud shout:

"Put!"

"Whoosh ......"

Five hundred arrows were volleyed into the air, like a rain of swords covering the mountain people.

"Chop chop chop ......"

Most of the arrows hit the wooden shield, but some of the arrows still passed through the gap between the wooden shield, and the mountaineers who hit them let out a scream and fell off the cliff.

"Whoosh ......"

The second round of arrows was fired again, because the first round of arrows had already caused panic among the mountain people, and the second round of arrows injured more mountain people, and more mountain people fell off the cliff.

However, these mountain people are actually bandits, one by one, they are fierce, and at this time, they are not far from the exit of the mountain road, and those bandits are desperate for their lives, holding a wooden shield and quickly approaching the exit of the mountain road.

"Good!" The big dragon head in the high place in the cottage couldn't help but shout: "Let the brothers kill them immediately and wipe out the officers and soldiers on the opposite side." ”

"Big brother, just look at it."

"Brothers, follow me!"

With a presumptuous smile on his face, the big dragon head withdrew his gaze from his brother, and then looked at the other side of the mountain road, his face changed.

At this time, I saw a hundred officers and soldiers put down their bows and arrows, picked up their spears from the ground, and the robbery was very long, and a hundred people in a column of four people formed a column of twenty-five columns, and looked sharply at the mountain road opposite.

"Kill!"

The mountain road was only two people wide, and the two thieves rushed to the intersection with a wooden shield in one hand and a single knife in the other.

"Kill!"

The four officers and soldiers shouted, and the two officers and men in the middle took a half step forward, put on a forward lunge, and the spears in their hands stabbed straight out, and the third and fourth soldiers on the left and right stabbed diagonally towards the rib steps of the two bandits.

"Bang!"

The spears in the hands of the two officers and soldiers in front of them stabbed the wooden shield fiercely, and the spears from the two ribs smoothly pierced the ribs of the two thieves through the gap.
