Since the sect leader had spoken, the group of White Lotus Sect disciples in Baijia Village did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and stared at the surrounding movements, in case anything changed, and the number of people had obviously increased a lot, and the entire small village was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, due to the fact that they are not able to show up now, the area that the people of the White Lotus Sect can take care of is only the entire village and the surrounding area of two or three miles, and it is even farther away, because they give people the impression that it is a deserted village, and it is impossible for people to appear blatantly, so naturally they cannot grasp the situation outside.

And they didn't know that just five or six miles away from Baijia Village, the officials and troops had surrounded the surrounding area. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong and prevented the White Lotus Sect thieves hiding in it from escaping, this time Yang Zhen spent a lot of effort, and even used nearly 2,000 people to surround it.

Moreover, these horses were not the main force used to attack Baijia Village, and after the encirclement was completely fixed and it was believed that there would be no fish that slipped through the net, Yang Zhen led five hundred elites to set off and came towards Baijia Village.

Rushing to Baijia Village with such a blatant and fanfare, naturally they quickly alarmed those eyeliners hidden in the shadows, and when they saw that it was the officers and soldiers coming in their direction, they immediately panicked and hurriedly sent someone to send the news back.

At this time, although Xu Jinghong's uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, his mentality had been adjusted, after all, he was a master who had experienced many turmoil, how could he be affected by his own heart for too long? After hearing the somewhat anxious report from his subordinates, he only frowned slightly, and then glanced at Xu Chongchuan who looked flustered beside him: "Sure enough, things have changed." ”

"Dad, it's a momentary negligence on the part of the child, and I haven't seen any news from the city's eyeliner in the past two days, I just said that the government will do something to Miao Zhuang's army, but I didn't expect them to come at us." At this time, Xu Chongshan naturally couldn't fool himself anymore and believe that the other party was not coming to Baijia Village.

"Master, what should we do? We are only a hundred and ten sect members, but we are no match for the official army, so it is better to withdraw first while they have not arrived. Soon, someone proposed.

But this suggestion only met Xu Jinghong's angry glare: "Stupid, since they set up their men and horses to attack, they just want to force us to mess up first." If we do, we'll only play into their hands. It was only a few miles away, and as soon as we moved, they had enough time to react and attack immediately. Besides, do you think they don't have some means to deal with it? I'm afraid that now outside our village, we have been surrounded by officials and soldiers into an iron bucket, and running will only make us lose faster! When he said this, he regretted it a little, he had known that this was the case, and he should have listened to his son's advice to evacuate this place first.

But it's useless to think about this now, Xu Jinghong only groaned slightly, and continued: "Today's plan, it will definitely not be possible, all we can do is to fight!" ”

"Facing the ......" Xu Chongshan only hesitated slightly, but still nodded vigorously: "Dad is right, now that we have no way out, let's use our geographical advantages here to fight with the officials and soldiers." If you can defeat it, it's much easier to go! ”

"Yes, we can defeat all the officers and soldiers who are attacking, but it's only a few hundred people, it's nothing at all!" Hearing the two of them say this, everyone's spirits were lifted and they responded one after another.

Seeing that the morale of the people below was not bad, Xu Jinghong was even more certain, and immediately issued a series of response instructions. In fact, as the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, there are also a lot of exquisiteness inside and outside this Baijia Village, and if the officers and soldiers really rush in regardless of it, they will inevitably pay a lot of price.

When the White Lotus Sect began to lay out countermeasures, the ranks of officers and soldiers only a mile or two away from the village suddenly stopped, they did not immediately attack as the other party expected, but temporarily stood still, only Yang Zhen brought a few people to the high place and looked towards the village.

Although the White Lotus Sect in Baijia Village had already made some preparations, there was still nothing wrong with all this on the outside, and the whole village still looked like a small abandoned village.

This illusion made Shen Jie, the deputy who accompanied him to climb the heights and look at it, with a look of suspicion: "My lord, is there really a White Lotus thief hiding in this village?" Why can't the lower officials see it at all? ”

Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked into the village with all his strength, taking in all the details. After hearing this question, his expression was very solemn: "This village does look no different from other places, and there are even many bones of villagers thrown out, which makes people believe that it is just an abandoned small village." But if you look closely, there's nothing out of the ordinary. ”

"This ......" Shen Jie also tried his best to look at the village a few miles away, although his eyesight was not as strong as Yang Zhen's, but he could still see the situation clearly, he still shook his head lightly: "Forgive the official for being stupid, I really don't see anything wrong with this village." ”

Yang Zhen smiled slightly, and then he pointed out: "You don't just look at the overall situation of the village, but focus on certain details. After a pause, the answer was revealed: "First, although there are human corpses in this village, there are no bones such as livestock, which is very unreasonable. When even people can't protect themselves, who will take care of these domestic animals, so naturally there will be their dead corpses. But now there is not even a single chicken dog or anything like that. ”

"This ......" Shen Jie looked at it with all his might, and after a while, he had to admire Yang Zhen's eyesight: "My lord's eyes are really like torches, this is indeed a big flaw." ”

"The flaws don't stop there, there is another point that is also extremely important. You see the bones, all of them are whole, do you think that is reasonable? ”

Shen Jie thought about it for a while and understood the meaning of Yang Zhen's words: "My lord is saying that there is no trace of beast invasion here?" ”

"Not bad." Yang Zhen glanced at the other party with satisfaction: "If this is an abandoned village, it would have been invaded by wild beasts. These bones are sure to be a delicacy in their eyes. But looking at it now, the bones are extremely well preserved, and there is only one explanation for this, the beasts dare not enter the village, because there are always people here, and they are still protecting the village. What does it mean to cover up, this is it. They tried to throw out a few corpses to cover up the truth, making people think that this was a deserted village, but in fact, it exposed the problems of the village more and more. ”

"The lower official has been taught, and the adult is really eye-catching and thoughtful!" Shen Jie said sincerely. Then, he looked at Yang Zhen again: "Since we have sensed this, why not attack now?" ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Zhen shook his head again: "Don't worry, it's still very early, we can wait a little longer." ”

Shen Jie was stunned again when he heard this, and subconsciously looked up at the sky above his head, it was past noon at the moment, how could he still call it early? Moreover, after all, this place has been the place where the White Lotus Sect has been entrenched for many years, if it drags on like this any longer, once it gets dark, things will be really difficult to handle.

In this regard, Yang Zhen did not explain much. Although he doesn't know much about the way of leading troops and using troops, there is a reason that he understands, as the commander-in-chief, he must do what he orders, and the people below must not have the slightest objection, otherwise he will lose half of the battle before it is fought. That's why Shen Jie said so much before, just because he felt that now was not the time to attack the enemy.

As for his consideration, it is actually very simple. Since this is the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, they will definitely take strict precautions, even if they can't leave suddenly because they are waiting, they will be prepared to defend accordingly. It's like a bow full of strings, if you lead someone to hit it headlong, you will inevitably have a lot of damage. It would be better to hold back for the time being and wait until the other party is tired before launching a surprise attack, so that the effect will be better. After all, no one can keep the bow full of motion, otherwise not only people, but also the bow will not be able to stand it.

So, a strange scene happened in Baijia Village. Hundreds of elite officers and soldiers, as well as more than a hundred White Lotus Cultists who were ready to attack, confronted each other across an invisible line, and none of them really attacked each other, as if these officers and soldiers were just surrounding an empty village.

Time passed slowly in this slightly dull confrontation, and although the officers and soldiers outside the village felt a little impatient, they were in good spirits, not only because they had just experienced several battles and had a strong ability to adapt, but also because they had strong confidence in Yang Zhen, knowing that he would not give such an order casually, and this must have a deep meaning. At this time, Yang Zhen's reputation built up by relying on his heroic performance in defending the city played a great role.

Compared with the officers and soldiers outside the village, those White Lotus Sectists in the village felt extremely uneasy, this kind of suffocating feeling of being pressed at the door, ready to attack, but not really attacked, was really uncomfortable, this was not as good as fighting with the officers and soldiers outside the village.

There are already a few people who have asked Xu Chongshan to fight, in fact, it is Xu Chongshan himself, who has long been a little impatient, and went to see his father several times to ask for war, but Xu Jinghong's response was very simple: "No." Now our advantage is to hide in the shadows of the village, so that the officers and soldiers can not find the target. If we take the initiative to attack, we will only cheapen them. And I'm sure they won't wait too long, once it gets dark, it's only more beneficial to us, and it's not up to them to decide whether to go or stay. So if we just wait, we will definitely be able to take advantage of this battle. "And that's our only advantage, but he doesn't say it.

Since the sect leader said so, those disciples did not dare to disobey, so they could only continue to wait.

After confronting each other like this for nearly an hour, Yang Zhen's eyes finally flashed, and he gave an order with a wave of his hand: "Prepare to attack!" However, the attack he was about to carry out was clearly different from what the people in the village had in mind......
