Ke Wulang didn't feel that his strength was insufficient, a dozen outlaws who wandered all the year round, it was more than enough to beat a Zhuangzi.

Although the Great Song Dynasty at this time was not as rotten to the bones as it was at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, dozens of people could go to the county seat to openly grab money and grain, and the country was also peaceful for decades, and the people's armed forces were lax.

Ke Wulang pulled out his waist knife and led his brothers to run on the road, and almost saw the piles of silver in Xu Pingzhuang piled there, waiting for him to fetch them.

There are people who are observing from a high place, and they are ready to report to Xu Ping about the arrival of the enemy.

When it came to the end, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and the hand holding the torch trembled slightly.

This torch is the signal for the start of the battle, and in order to prevent leakage of news, it is tightly surrounded on all sides, so that no light can be transmitted.

Hearing clear footsteps on the road, Xu Ping knew that the enemy was approaching, and cheered up his spirits and listened to the news whispered by the observer beside him.

"Report to the owner, the thief has arrived at the designated location!"

Hearing this, Xu Ping stood up violently with the torch, and threw the torch towards the road with all his strength.

The torch arced in the air, fell to the ground, and the light of the fire dimmed slightly, and then ignited the oil-soaked wood on the ground, and suddenly ignited.

Kegoro was looking forward to a bright future, and was startled by this sudden surprise, and was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the fire burning on the ground.

Sun Qilang started first and shouted in a low voice: "All the staff follow me, kill!" ”

Leap from the hideout to the road and stand in the middle of the road.

His subordinate Zhuang Ke had already cheered up when he heard the footsteps, and when he heard the order, they stood up behind Sun Qilang together, forming a rough trapezoid.

Sun Qilang took a big stride at this time, and the spear in his hand stabbed at the nearest thief.

Because of the firelight, Ke Wulang and his gang were in the light, and Sun Qilang and the others who were looking in the dark were blurred, but they saw a large black shadow surging towards them. Xu Ping had already ordered everyone not to make a sound, which made it even more confusing, so that Ke Wulang and his gang couldn't react to what happened for a while.

When a thief was stabbed down by Sun Qilang's shot, Ke Wulang shouted as he first thought and shouted: "I've been tricked, this is an ambush!" Hurry back! Withdraw! ”

At this time, he couldn't see the situation around him clearly, and he didn't know who was blocking him. Whether it was the Zhuang Ke organized by the village, or the strong men on patrol, or the officers and soldiers who caught the thieves, they just had the idea of escaping.

Sun Qilang turned around, but saw another large black shadow pounce on him behind him. One of the tall figures was particularly swift, striding forward, stabbing one of his men to the ground with a single shot.

In the past six months, these bankers have only practiced this trick of the spear, stabbing the enemy in the chest and abdomen, and taking the enemy's thigh when stabbing down, and there are no other fancy. Under Xu Ping's guidance, when the spear is stabbed, the feet take root on the ground, and with the waist, each shot can almost exert the greatest strength.

In the blink of an eye, the front and back bankers copied each other and rushed forward, and most of Kegoro's men had fallen to the ground.

The second brother had a nimble mind, and when he saw that there were enemies in front and behind, he jumped with his waist knife and jumped off the road to the nursery, trying to escape by night.

Ke Wulang just glanced at the second brother, and then heard him let out a miserable scream, and his figure fell to the ground. At the moment, I knew that there were people in ambush in the nursery, and when I saw that the general trend was gone, I didn't hesitate anymore and jumped into the pond next to me.

Without Xu Ping's order, Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang didn't dare to care about Ke Wulang, but just led people to take down the thieves who were still on the road one by one.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Xu Ping shouted: "Light the torches, count the battlefield, and don't let anyone escape!" ”

In an instant, seven or eight torches were lit in the nursery and poured out onto the road.

Of the eleven thieves on the road, five have been stabbed in the vital position and lost their lives. Six others were wounded and wailed on the ground. The second brother was unlucky, and when he jumped into the nursery, he bumped into Lu Song, and he was shot through the stomach, and he was already out of breath.

At this time, there was less than a stick of incense before the battle started, and only one Kegoro was left to hide in the pond.

Zhuang Ke took a torch and shone indiscriminately in the pond, the enemy is dark and I am bright, where can I see a human figure.

Xu Ping stepped forward and asked Sun Qilang to bring his own men and six torches to the southeast side of the pond to shine, one is to prevent Ke Wulang from sneaking ashore and escape, and the other is to provide lighting.

On the way, Xu Chang left two torches with his subordinates, and Xu Ping and Gao Daquan led people to the west of the pond when Ke Wulang came, and located Ke Wulang's location.

At this time, there was light on three sides of the pond, only Xu Ping and Gao Daquan were black, and the bright place from the black place was particularly distinct, so the situation in the pond was clear.

Kegoro was in the pond a dozen paces from the shore, with only his head exposed, looking around vigilantly. His vision was blinded by the light of the surrounding fire, and he could only see the people in the firelight, and the darkness was like that of a blind man.

Xu Ping picked up a stone from the ground and threw it violently, but it didn't hit Ke Wulang, and it fell over his head. Ke Wulang was startled, and turned his head to Xu Ping's side, but he couldn't see anything.

Xu Ping shouted loudly: "That thief in the pond, I have seen you, and I can't escape anymore!" If you know each other, you can come ashore obediently and be caught! ”

Seeing that Ke Wulang was still looking around there, Xu Ping picked up a stone and smashed him again.

Ke Wulang tilted his head to dodge, knowing that his hiding had been seen through by others, the water in the pond was cold, and it was meaningless to hide any longer, so he slowly climbed onto the shore on this side of the road.

With his hands on the shore, Kegoro shouted, "I've already surrendered, don't kill me!" ”

Of course, Xu Ping didn't have the heart to kill him, and he was also a death when he was released to the yamen, and he could still receive some rewards, and he could show off the prestige of his village, so that other thieves would not dare to come again, which was obviously counted in one fell swoop.

Returning to the road with Gao Daquan and looking at Ke Wulang, who had been tied up by Zhuang Ke, Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan: "This person is Ke Wulang?" ”

Gao Daquan shook his head and said, "This person used to be messing around in the capital, I don't know him." ”

Ke Wulang knelt on the ground, heard Xu Ping's words, and shouted: "It turns out that you know my Ke Wulang's name, and you dare to arrest me!" ”

Xu Ping stepped forward and kicked Ke Wulang in the head, scolding: "Dare to be arrogant when you are dying!" Anything dares to hit my Zhuangzi's idea! ”

Ke Wulang was kicked this and didn't dare to speak again, but just looked at Xu Ping viciously.

Everyone was tied up, where did Xu Ping still take him to heart, and said: "Tie everyone to the Zhuangzi, and carry the dead back!" As for whether this person is Ke Wulang, he knows the local elder Li Wei! ”

Ke Wulang couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Li Wei?" ”

Xu Ping glanced at him and said disdainfully, "How could I not know him?" Someone else is on my Zhuangzi! Speaking of which, it's thanks to him tonight, otherwise he wouldn't have captured you without a single soldier! ”

Ke Wulang took a sip: "It turned out that Li Wei betrayed me!" ”

Xu Ping couldn't help but come up and kick him again: "This is your own in your head, how can you blame others for betraying?" Li Wei is a local elder, and he is in charge of catching thieves, so you went to discuss with him! If you don't get caught, you have to implicate him, and if you get your hands and catch him, you will fall on him, and you can't catch the stick of the county minister and beat him! Except for reporting the news, you didn't leave him alive at all, okay? ”

Ke Wulang just scolded in a low voice and hate, and he didn't know what to scold.

Xu Ping looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head: "You are stupid like this, and you dare to learn from others to be thieves?" I really don't know how you got mixed up all these years, and it didn't fall into my hands until today! ”
