"Hurry up, keep up."

In this cold winter, also at four or five o'clock in the morning, a team of dozens of people was coming down a rugged path in Mangdang Mountain.

One by one, wearing tattered cotton clothes, exhaling white mist from their mouths, holding spears in their hands, lined up in a neat queue, and marched towards the bottom of the mountain under Li Zixiao's command.

After Li Zixiao got the information of Zhang Ergouzi, he was determined to eat this caravan, so he asked Old Master Wei to make breakfast at four or five o'clock in the morning, so that his subordinates could eat breakfast comfortably, and then before dawn, he personally led the team down the mountain to find a suitable ambush location.

"Zhang Ergouzi, you can remember the road that the caravan is going to pass through, where is it suitable for us to ambush, do you have any suggestions?" Li Zixiao found Zhang Ergouzi and asked.

After all, Zhang Ergouzi is very familiar with the terrain in this area, listen to his advice and find the most suitable ambush location, which can greatly increase the success rate of their operation.

Li Zixiao inherited one of the great advantages of the five good young people of the 21st century in later generations, that is, he can listen to the opinions of others and ask questions if he doesn't understand, because Li Zixiao really doesn't understand.

This is the first time they have gone out of the mountain after nearly half a month of hard training, and it is still a big deal, Li Zixiao is still quite nervous in his heart, this operation must not fail, otherwise the morale of their team will be greatly hit.

So Li Zixiao had to be cautious and carefully ask Zhang Ergouzi about the situation of the caravan, when it will arrive, which way to go, how many people there are, and whether there are any official and military escorts.

Fortunately, Zhang Ergouzi's ability to inquire about intelligence was really not covered, and these circumstances made him clear, so after careful discussion with his subordinates, Li Zixiao initially formulated a plan to ambush this caravan.

Following the leadership of Zhang Ergouzi, Li Zixiao came to an official road early in the morning, which is the only way for Yongcheng County to Yucheng County in the north, and a wide avenue was built.

In fact, the official road of this era is just a rural dirt road in Li Zixiao's eyes, and Li Zixiao, who has seen the eight-lane wide asphalt road, does not look down on this kind of muddy dirt road at all.

Zhang Ergouzi's choice of ambush location is a place called Wenfeng Slope by locals, just on the side of a road, there is a forest next to it, and on the opposite side of the road is a farmland with no end in sight.

"It's a good ambush location, Wei Hong, you take a long group of spearmen to ambush in that woods, I will take people to hide in Wenfeng Slope, wait for us to attack, you also bring people out of the woods to kill, we echo from the end to end, it will definitely make the caravan guards panic."

After Li Zixiao saw the ambush location chosen by Zhang Ergouzi, he nodded with satisfaction, and then gave an order to Wei Hong.

"Yes, boss."

Wei Hong happily replied and lurked in the woods with fifteen pikemen.

Li Zixiao took a fancy to Wei Hong's thoughtfulness, and at this time, he led the team to launch another attack from the woods, and he was most at ease.

And Wei Hong was of course happy, this was the first time he led the team to act alone, although it was just a simple ambush, but Wei Hong felt that Li Zixiao valued him.

"Everyone rests on the spot, recuperates enough energy, don't drop the chain to Lao Tzu when you go into battle, if anyone dares to retreat, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand does not recognize him as his own person.

Don't panic when we get out, just follow my orders as we have been trained on a daily basis, and this time we will win, defeat this caravan, go back and slaughter a pig, and reward everyone. ”

Li Zixiao asked everyone to hide behind the slope to rest, and did not forget to remind them, so as not to panic when this group of subordinates went into battle.

At this time, before the sky was fully bright, Li Zixiao led his subordinates to hide behind Wenfeng Slope and huddled together one by one to keep warm, waiting for the arrival of the caravan at dawn.

The cotton clothes Li Zixiao was wearing were relatively new, and the warmth effect was better, so he curled up in one place and closed his eyes in confusion.

"The big boss, the big boss, here, here."

Just when Li Zixiao was in a daze and didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't dare to fall asleep completely, he heard someone whispering beside him.

"Coming?"

In an instant, Li Zixiao sat up directly, rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands, and sobered himself up, and saw clearly that the person who came to call him was Dong Xiang.

Li Zixiao turned over and lay down on the slope, and then saw a caravan on the official road a hundred steps away, about seven or eight carts, and there were guards wearing household clothes and holding knives and guns on the left and right sides of the convoy.

There is a word 'Li' written on the back of all the family's clothes, it seems that the owner of this caravan is surnamed Li, and Li Zixiao is still his own family!

"All the guards add up to about thirty people, but the trouble is those two guys on horseback, and if we fight, these two cavalrymen will cause us a lot of trouble."

Li Zixiao lay on the dirt slope, staring at a caravan convoy that rushed over from the official road not far away, and analyzed it in his mouth.

"Quartz."

In the end, Li Zixiao frowned and called out to Quartz.

"Big boss." Soon, quartz, who was carrying an iron rod, ran over with an excited face, and said to Li Zixiao in an urn voice.

Li Zixiao looked at Quartz with an excited face, and he was also grinning, among all the people in the cottage, I am afraid that this is the only one who is not nervous at this time, but is excited.

And Li Zixiao watched Quartz easily carry the black iron rod of dozens of catties, and secretly exclaimed that it was really perverted, you must know that this iron rod weighed dozens of catties, and Li Zixiao was barely able to lift it, but Quartz was not only easy to hold in his hand, but he could even dance with one hand.

This iron rod has been in the cottage for an unknown amount of time, no one can pick it up, and they don't even know where this iron rod came from, so they have been left there, and they are all rusty.

However, when Quartz came to the cottage and saw this iron rod, his ugly face showed a terrifying smile, and he directly asked Li Zixiao for the iron rod, and Li Zixiao agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, it's useless to put it there, it's still an eyesore, since the quartz can be picked up, I'll give it to him to use it.

"Quartz, when the fight starts, I want you to kill those two horseback guards for me, can you do it?" Li Zixiao can only hand over this burden to Quartz, and only he can take on this heavy responsibility.

"No problem, boss, leave it to me." Quartz readily agreed.

With quartz to deal with those two cavalrymen, Li Zixiao was somewhat relieved, and he was still very confident in his strength as a fierce general.

"Okay, get everybody ready and ready to play. Lined up! Li Zixiao shouted.

At this time, after more than twenty days of training, the results of these people finally appeared at this moment, although dozens of guys were nervous.

But after hearing Li Zixiao's order, he instinctively quickly got together, and lined up two horizontal formations on the hillside, and more than 20 spearmen lined up in two rows in the center.

Zhou Dazhu led seven or eight sword and shield soldiers to hold swords and shields on both sides of the queue, ready to cover the pikemen at any time.

"Put the gun flat, walk in unison, left and right" Li Zixiao saw that the team was lined up, so he immediately ordered loudly.

Dozens of people lined up in a neat queue, and then stepped on the command shouted by Li Zixiao, and took a neat pace, forcing towards the caravan convoy on the official road under the hillside in the form of a horizontal formation.

The sudden appearance of Li Zixiao's team was immediately discovered by the caravan on the official road, and they immediately realized that they had encountered robbers, and the convoy immediately stopped, and one by one the guards drew their long knives and prepared to fight.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to really encounter robbers, it just so happened that Lao Tzu's long knife hadn't seen blood for a long time, so this time it would be painful for Lao Tzu to kill.

All the guards obeyed the order, leaving ten people to protect the old butler and the convoy supplies, and the rest of the people rushed out with me to kill all the bandits. ”

When Wang Zirui and his people appeared, a middle-aged man riding a tall horse at the front of the caravan, wearing a set of fine armor, said disdainfully.

"Oh, Liu Guard, no, it's important to protect the convoy, don't fight easily, just repel this group of bandits." At this time, an old man in gorgeous clothes walked down from a carriage tremblingly and stopped the middle-aged man from speaking.

"Old housekeeper, don't worry, my old Liu has been on the battlefield for many years, and even killed the Tartars outside the Guanwai, just a bandit, Lao Tzu still doesn't pay attention to it.

You can watch from behind with peace of mind, and see how I kill this group of bandits, and with my protection, the convoy will be fine. Give it to me, kill all the bandits. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Liu ignored the old butler's stop, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed out, insisting on taking a group of guards to extinguish this group of bandits who dared to grab his head.
