(Thank you for the calm and calm tip!) ）

After the day of the wax moon is darkened, the little heating left by the daytime sunlight has long been blown away by the cold wind. Li Jing stood on the village wall wearing a cold iron armor, opened his mouth and slammed two balls of white heat into his hand, and then took the bowstring and wound the horn bow without hurry.

On the village wall, the torches of pine grease are burning with beep waves, and the torches are inserted all over the village wall, illuminating the village entrance as if it were day. Lin Wei was the commander of the head of the North Village, and he was loudly assigning the soldiers of Zuo Yidu to put on the bowstring and prepare feather arrows. Fortunately, Li Jing has always demanded that his soldiers carry weapons wherever they go. Today, the subordinates of Zuo Yidu came to pay tribute to Li Jing's birthday, but they did not forget to bring horizontal knives, spears, bows and arrows. Although everyone had drunk a lot of wine just now, they all splashed their faces with cold water at this time, and followed Lin Wei's instructions with a serious expression and stepped on the ladder to climb to various critical positions on the village wall.

Lin Wu Ze and Wang Chong brought a team of men and horses and more than 200 of their brothers and relatives to guard the east gate, fortunately, those people in the left capital brought almost 600 young men to come today, although these people did not have weapons, but temporarily held flat poles, wooden poles, wooden guns, but they were also quite powerful. In addition, Li Jing temporarily seconded the guards of the officials and gentry, and those with waist knives were sent to the village wall, and those with only sticks were also assigned under the village wall as reserves.

In addition, Li Jing immediately asked Cui Decheng of Chishan Town to send six people to ride horses back to Chishan Town to move reinforcements, and even other villagers and women Li Jing also mobilized, boiling water under the village wall, boiling oil, and carrying some stones and wood, making full preparations.

Today, I was shocked three times a day, and although I was a little frightened at the beginning, it was later confirmed that they were all birthday guests. But this time, there will be no more false alarms.

Li Jing and Cui Zhenjiang, as well as Song Xi's ten generals and the county commander Huangfu Zheng, all stood on the village wall, and at night, in front of Wang Li Village, a fire dragon was winding and rushing straight down. The countless torches appeared more clearly in the wilderness, as if the countless stars in the sky were reflected in the wilderness of the night.

Soon, the countless torches had reached the front of the village for more than a hundred steps. By the light of the fire, Li Jing and the others clearly saw the face of this uninvited team. I saw that there were thousands of people, and there was a sea of people lined up at the head of the north village of Wangli Village. Under the torches, Li Jing clearly saw that there were old people and children, and more young men and women were dressed in tatters and varied, and their faces were hungry and thin.

These people are authentic outcasts and hungry people, and there is nothing threatening about them other than the numbness and hungry gaze on their faces. But on either side of these men were thirty or forty men on war horses, horses, and even mules and donkeys. These people were obviously the robbers mentioned by the people who had come to report earlier, and they all carried all kinds of weapons in their hands, some with horizontal knives, some with spears, some with spears, and even some with long sticks, and only a few still carried bows and arrows on their backs.

In addition to these dozens of 'knights' on horseback and donkey, who were obviously the main force of the bandits, behind the dense outcasts, there were about 100 infantry armed with knives, guns and clubs. These people are not as young and strong as those 'cavalry', but mainly old and young, and there are even gray-haired and young men who are not too tall to be horses. Except for the weapons in their hands, these people did not wear armor at all, and they did not even see a shield in sight.

The thieves on foot kept screaming behind them with weapons, wielding weapons to keep those hungry people approaching Wangli Village. The bandits, who rode horses and donkeys, galloped back and forth only on both sides, forbidding anyone to escape. At this time, those hungry people also saw the high village wall of Wangli Village, and the rows of guards on the wall under the light of the rows of torches, and even saw a few of them still wearing bright armor and official uniforms. Looking at the dazzling soldiers, many homeless people began to cry and refuse to advance.

They were all hungry people in Wendeng County, and in the past few days, they heard that a person from Wangli Village had become a general and had returned to the village to celebrate his mother's birthday. He also heard that the general was very generous, and said that on the way home he saw many hungry people, so he took food and distributed it to all of them, and even took them all in the end. When the hungry people heard the news, they rushed to Wangli Village from all directions.

It's just that they never thought that as early as a few days ago, a group of bandits came to Shizigou near Chishan, numbering more than 100 people. These bandits are all bandits along the coast of Wendeng County, and they have also heard that Li Jing has returned to his hometown with wealth, and the goods he brought back to the village are enough to have 20 carts, and they also heard that in the past few days, Wang Li Village has eaten meat and drank wine every day. These thieves couldn't resist the temptation, so they invited several villages on the side to prepare to join forces to make this deal, and robbed Wangli Village.

The five stockades joined forces, gathered 150 men and horses, and quietly pounced on Chishan. When I arrived at Shizigou, I happened to hear that the officials and gentry of Wendeng County were preparing to pay homage to Li's mother and were preparing gifts. As soon as the bandits heard the news, they simply hid in the stone ditch temporarily, wanting to wait for Li's mother's birthday to wipe everyone out. Later, some bandits suggested that Wangli Village was too close to Chishan Town, and they were afraid that they would not be able to take Wangli Village for a while, but they would be bitten by the soldiers and horses of Chishan Town. Then one of the bandits offered a plan, saying that many homeless people had also heard the news and were heading for Chishan. proposed to surround all the displaced people who came, and then go to Wang Li Village together to fight Wang Li Village, and use these displaced people as cannon fodder. In the past few days, the bandits have actually engulfed nearly 1,000 homeless people.

Li Jing had been carefully watching the bandits' formation, and saw that although the bandits had coerced thousands of homeless people, they were only stupidly ready to attack the back of the North Village Gate head-on. In his heart, he had already made up his mind, and he was busy with General Cui Zhen, General Song Shi and others: "Although I watch the thieves, there are many people, but there is no law. In my opinion, I plan to ambush all the best soldiers here and send the young men to the east gate. Let's first send only some village soldiers to the village wall, so that the thieves don't know my truth. Then all the archers were ambushed under the wall, and all the mules, horses, and donkeys were gathered together, thinking that they were strange soldiers. When the thief deceived me and lured him to the wall, I let all the archers strike out at once, and only attack the thief on horseback. After the thieves rebelled, they opened the village gate and rode out on horseback. I see that there are only more than 100 thieves, as long as a group of thieves is killed, they will flee in fear, and the rest of the displaced people do not have to be afraid, although there are many people! ”

Song Wen and Cui Zhenjiang are both higher in rank than Li Jing, but today they are guests Li Jing is the master, and although there are many young and strong people in the village, the most important thing to use is Li Jing's hundred subordinates. Therefore, Song Wen and Cui Zhenjiang are also very simple, and they do not mean to overstep the blister.

"It's just a few bandits and some homeless people who have come here, they definitely didn't expect Ji Yu to have a hundred well-equipped subordinates here. Just play as you want, and we'll bet on it for you. ”

Li Jing dispatched 60 archers who could shoot well with bows and arrows into 20 squads, stipulating that every three people should be a squad, and after he issued the order to shoot, each three-person team would aim at a target together. And let them shoot those who are on horseback, and not those who are outcasts. All of them were bowed, arrows at their side, and they were hunched over the wall waiting for orders. Behind these archers, Li Jing specially selected three hundred men from the young men they had brought, each holding a long pole, a pot lid, and a large wooden plank to stand behind them. Just wait for the outcasts to come up, and then deal with them with a long pole.

In addition, Li Jing, the commander of the city, handed over to Song Xi and Cui Zhen, and he and Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Wang Chong, and Xiaoshi and other fifty people were a team of cavalry, and temporarily borrowed the war horses, horses, and horses of those guests in the village. There were still a lot of horses left, and Han Zhi, who took the initiative to ask to participate in the war, led the twenty family members of the Han family and the thirty family members of other official gentry who were temporarily loaned to fight on horseback.

Looking at Li Jing and the others in the village, who were preparing to go, the county commander Huangfu, who had retreated to the ladder and only showed half of his head, sighed: "General Li is really a lion and a rabbit, just like this, not to mention that there are only hundreds of bandits outside the city, even if there are really thousands of mountain bandits, they have to return with a feather." ”

Cui Zhenjiang was still very interested in holding the altar wine and drinking with Song Xi, swallowed the wine in his mouth, wiped the wine on his mouth, Cui Decheng pursed his lips and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome to deal with these people, close the village gate, and everyone is actually more comfortable sitting behind the wall listening to the play and drinking." At most, in an hour, the soldiers and horses in Chishan Town can be killed, and then the thousands of thieves who have come to commit crimes will not be enough to kill. ”

Li Jing's arrangement is indeed a bit of a knife to kill chickens, at the gate of the East Village, Li Jing, Lin Wei, Wang Chong, and Lin Wu are all fully armed, wearing armor and holding a lance. According to the plan, after a while the archers launched the first wave of attacks, Li Jing and them led fifty horsemen out of the east gate, went around the back of the bandits and strangled the mountain bandits who drove the homeless. Wait until the thieves are in chaos, and then Han Zhi will lead fifty horsemen to open the north gate and go out. At that time, the two teams of cavalry flanked the bandits and defeated the bandits in a battle.

Next to Li Jing, his wife Wang Guiniang and Wan'er were standing next to Li Jing left and right, caressing his armor, and looking at Li Jing with some concern. Both women were just country women, and when they heard that thousands of bandits had come, they already felt that their legs were weak and their feet trembled. Although the husband's face was relaxed, they were still full of worry. I wanted to persuade Li Jing not to go out in person several times, but I couldn't say anything when the words came to my lips.

Both Mother Li and Xiao Han were persuaded to stay at home, and although they were also full of worries, Li Jing's heart was full of anticipation. This battle is as Cui Decheng said, in fact, it is the same if it is not fought. It is so close to Chishan Town, as long as it can't be guarded, as soon as the Chishan Army arrives in an hour, there will be nothing to do. However, Li Jing was reluctant to do this, and even said that this battle was what he was looking forward to.

There can be rewards for fighting, but Li Jing didn't fight this battle for any military reward.

He fought this battle for the purpose of review, not only to review the soldiers who had trained Zuo Yidu for more than a month, but also to use this battle to review those young men who wanted to join Shamen Town. For Li Jing, it is impossible for him to accept all these young men who came to join the army, since this is the case, let him use this battle to review those young men, let the battle eliminate those who are not suitable, and let the battle choose the most suitable recruits to follow him to Shamen Town.
