On the south bank of Wuling River, the small hills are separated by roads, houses, water streets, and river ports, houses full of Jiangnan characteristics are lined up and down. The autumn wind blows the branches and leaves of Gongsun Tree, slowly sprinkling the golden all over the ground.

Through an ordinary two-entry courtyard window, there were two eyes staring at the alley in front of me, looking calm and gentle, without any tension as if the battle was about to come.

"Keep, do you think Lu Zhang will come?"

The man, known as the Fire Official, had a dark face and a red mole on the forehead. He only had bright eyes. When he heard his subordinates' slightly nervous questioning, he slapped his palm like a palm fan on his head and said, "If someone catches you, will your eldest brother come to save him?"

"meeting!"

"Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang, these bloodthirsty families lying on our heads are even more close than brothers. Seeing that Gu is about to be destroyed, how could Lu Zhang Erliao not come?"

"Fire Official, the enemy is here!" A ghost soldier pushed the door and reported in a low voice.

“How many people?”

"Seeing the flag and smoke, probably... it is estimated that at least five thousand people!" His voice was trembling.

Five thousand people? There is a difference between intelligence, but this is nothing!

The fire official said coldly: "Are you scared?"

"No, no!" The ghost soldier swallowed and said, "The gap between us and us is too big... After all, we only have five hundred people!"

The fire official stood up and realized that he was extremely short, but his bones were large, and his whole body looked extremely thick. He was carrying a broken mountain knife in his hand, almost as long as his height.

"Five hundred people!"

The fire official's lips were filled with smiles and said, "With a ox knife killing a chicken! I feel that there are too many five hundred people! This time, God ordered the five wounded officials to lead 100 elite soldiers to ambush here. If he could not completely wipe out Lu Zhang's reinforcements, the name of the five wounded people would be removed!"

"Transfer our military orders, no one should act rashly. Let the enemy who is leading in first, and after more than half, then seal the pockets, and the other four wounded officials work together to eat them. And we," the fire official said lightly: "Go and stop the remaining half!"

"There is an ambush! Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Due to the terrain, the Lu and Zhang coalition needed to pass three narrow alleys in turn to reach the banks of Wuling River. Perhaps they were in a hurry to rescue Gu, and the march was in a hurry and panic. They did not divide their troops to carefully search the surrounding houses, but rushed in in a mess. Even because the alley was too narrow, there was a stepping and congestion. This was also in line with the six-day assessment of the Lu and Zhang families. They had not fought for many years, and were more civil and less military. They lacked generals in the clan to lead troops. It was reasonable and expected to have such a performance.

Almost at the same time, the Jin, Wood, Water and Earth officials each led 100 elite soldiers down the mountain like tigers, rushed into the coalition forces from the house, the roof, the top of the trunk and the walls. With just a few breaths, they completed the fragmented cutting and the surround, and then the one-sided massacre!

Wailing, begging for mercy, desperately, roars and desperate shouts intertwined in this narrow street, rolling heads, splattering blood, broken hands and limbs everywhere, golden apricot leaves soaked in the blood that was almost buried in the ankles, and soon turned into maple leaves like red.

Between life and death, Lu Zhang left more than a hundred lives and finally reorganized them into a row. The leader shouted: "Retreat, withdraw from here!" Then he retreated while fighting, and the four wounded officials joined forces to chase and chase them. He soon met with the Fire Officer, which was struggling to block the crazy attack outside the pocket formation.

At this time, the sword was already bloody and had a strong killing spirit. From the wounded official, all of them became more and more brave as they fought. The fire official deliberately opened his pockets, causing the Lu Zhang soldiers who were completely lost in battle after being ambushed and rushed towards their military formation in panic, which immediately caused chaos. Taking advantage of the chaos on the opposite side, the five hundred elite soldiers in six days, led by the five wounded official, pierced directly into the important ground of their confidant like a sharp knife, and then the center blossomed, exploded into pieces.

Great defeat! Great defeat!

The Lu Zhang coalition army had a complete collapse within a quarter of an hour, throwing away his armor and turning around and fleeing. The five wounded officials, who had red eyes, also saw the enemy's background. They were nothing more than adding stoves and flags, dragging trees to produce smoke, and bluffing. Where were there five thousand people? Putting aside the old and weak, only a thousand people could fight to death.

Five hundred to one thousand, if you can't wipe out all the things, how can you keep your face?

The fire official rushed forward with a broken mountain knife in his hand. There were more than a dozen people who died under his knife. The Jin official sent someone to send an order to him not pursue the enemy, and it was important to return to guard Wuling River.

"Stop it? We were ambushing us, which made Lu Zhang suffer a great loss. If we waited for them to regroup, would we still be foolish to die afterwards? We should try to wipe out all the enemies when the enemy was defeated. In this way, the Lu Zhang and the two surnames could not recover their vitality within at least twenty years, and they could achieve their full success."

After saying that, before the Jinguan replied, he followed him with a hundred of his men. The local officials and water officials who were protecting his left and right wings were also taken away. Seeing that things had come to this point, the Jinguan could not stop them. Moreover, what the Fire Official said was indeed reasonable. In order not to delay the opportunity to fight, he had to order his troops to pursue him with the wooden official.

After chasing for five miles, nearly 300 people were killed. The eyes suddenly opened and they arrived at Peijiawei. This is the Danshui Lake located in Wuxian Town. It is not too big, with rippling smoke and golden light, and the scenery is unique. On the east side of the embankment, there are only two hundred people stationed, but everyone wears sleeve armor, holds a strong shield, holds a long spear, is well-equipped, and has reached the teeth. It skillfully splits the holes, puts only two or three hundred remaining soldiers into the formation, and then closes them again. After six days of reaction, they shout in unison, and crushes them madly with the power of overwhelming seas.

Bang!

The attack of swords and guns, the ghost soldiers for six days could not make any more progress, which was a huge difference from the momentum of a wolf entering the flock. Although one side was waiting for labor and the other side was tired after a long battle, it was too shocked and casualties also appeared.

Two hundred armored soldiers rushed out of the hidden alley at the corner on the west side. The same sleeve armor was replaced by a long spear with a long sword, and it was even more powerful, forming a left and right clamp shape, and was attacked with no chance.

Fighting on two fronts for six days, the pressure doubles.

Jin Guan frowned. Although the four hundred people on the other side were powerful, it was not difficult to win the battle. However, victory was also a tragic victory. When he returned, he could not explain it to God. He made a quick decision and was about to order to gradually escape from the battle and retreat to Wuling River. A deafening cry suddenly sounded behind him.

"Six days of remnants, died in Pei Xu!"

"Six days of remnants, died in Pei Xu!"

Coincidentally, on the north side, the road that Liutian had just chased, dense heads emerged from the buildings on both sides of the road, with flags flying and drums shaking the sky. I don’t know how many people were hiding. Even though Liutian’s bravery was not afraid of death, it was inevitable that the morale of the army would be shaken.

Jin Guan’s face changed drastically!

Who is the hunter? Who is the prey?

"Actually in the trap!"

The fire officer woke up from the killing that filled his mind and realized that they had been trapped in a trick to lure the enemy. No wonder the previous wave of people was vulnerable. He was simply sorry for the name of the Wujun clan. It turned out that he deliberately used a weak brigade to die, and the elite were all lying here.

What a cruel method!

This is nearly a thousand lives, just like abandoning a son to lure the enemy. When did the Lu family and Zhang family have such a great person?

Whoosh swish swish swish!

A rain of arrows shot from the roof and walls for six days. In such a dense open area, without any defensive cover, it was impossible to dodge, and a large number of casualties were immediately killed or injured.

The appearance of the archer completely tilted the battle situation towards the Lu and Zhang coalition. At this time, the east and west were surrounded, and the shield armor was as hard as a mountain to break, and the retreat was cut off. The only person who could escape was Pei Jiaxu in front of him.

Even if you know that jumping into the lake will become a target, you can live for a while, and people have the same heart and the same principles. Ren Jinguan and others try their best to stop it, but the six-day array still approaches the lake step by step.

The original purpose of the embankment is to protect the fields. Peijiawei builds a dike into a lake. The embankment forms a 60-degree Yingshui slope. You can't see the situation below until the edge. Seeing the figures of ghost soldiers in the sixth day of the world appearing, Lu Zhang's troops who had long been lying on the Yingshui slope with a grapple hook and threw the clay pot in his hand up. In the crisp sound of shattering, sesame oil flows turbulently, and then lit a torch, drawing a brilliant arc in the night. It bangs, and the sky is full of fire. Then the ambush pulls out the long sword behind his waist, rolls down one from the slope, and swings the knife to the end.

In six days, these five hundred ghost soldiers finally fell into a desperate situation of death!

"Report! The person who sent the news has not yet left the city, Lu Zhang's reinforcements have arrived, and a war broke out on the south bank of Wuling River, and the situation is unknown!"

"Take it again!"

"Report! Lu Zhang was ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. He is now retreating towards Peijiaxu."

This news made all the nobles in the lobby burst into tears. They sat here, not knowing the dynamic outside, and only heard the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. Who knew how long could it take to rely solely on Beiguli's troops? Therefore, all hope was placed on Lu Zhang's rescue, but before the reinforcements arrived, they were defeated first. What should I do?

"Xu You, how did you command? Why don't you send someone to ask for help from the Governor's Office?" The person who spoke was Ren Fang. The surname of Ren was a prominent family in Donghai County. He had always had a good relationship with Gu. Ren Fang was not an unknown person. He was the eldest son and grandson of Ren's family. He was a young man, and was a hero in the younger generation. He was good at calligraphy, Hu Pingrong, who was good at painting, and Wang Hua, who was good at wine, and was also known as the Three Qi of Donghai.

Xu You smiled and said, "Your Majesty Ren Langjun doesn't have to be afraid. There will be no more than 500 thieves attacking Beiguli. We use the house as a fort, which can attack or defend, and there will be no danger in a short period of time."

"Hmph, you said it lightly and without any worries. What about three times? What about five times? It is not a solution to sit and wait for death like this. If you have a good plan, please quell the chaos quickly. If there is no strange plan, go to the position and give it to the wise. Please be familiar with military tactics and those who are familiar with military tactics are here."

Ren Fang's words represented the voice of many people, and immediately attacked him, with the stance of putting all the blame on Xu You.

"Oh?" Xu You's eyes drooped, and he said, "I believe that those who are familiar with military tactics are Ren Langjun himself?"

"I dare not take it, but the lobby is full of talented people of various surnames. Are you afraid that you can't find a general who can reverse the current situation?" Ren Fang pointed to Zhu Cong and said, "Zhu Langjun is reading thousands of books and has strategies. According to my opinion, it is better to have Zhu Langjun to command and respond to the enemy!"

Zhu Cong's face was as pale as snow, and his heart was worse than that of the pigs and dogs that Ren Fang's ancestors had scolded Ren Fang for the eighteen generations. It was funny that the Zhu family established the world with martial arts. All the people in the clan were good at fighting. Only Zhu Cong claimed to be a two-legged book, only reading books and not knowing about military service. At this critical moment, he not only could not make any effort, but also became a turtle with his head as a turtle.

Xu You stood up and bowed to Gu Changyong and said, "Mr. Gu, since someone questioned my plan, please ask Gu Gong to ask for another clever decision! Brother Zhu is good at making plans and making a hundred times better than me. I agree with him from the bottom of my heart."

"No!" Zhu Cong quickly refused and said, "Weizhi, it is still your sole responsibility..."

Gu Changyong comforted him: "Although Qilang, Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang is prominent, he has been apart from Zhu. The other three surnames do not know how to fight for many years. In terms of the way to fight, perhaps Zhu is not as good as the Xu family in Yixing. No one can compare with the military strategy you have learned since childhood. Don't take the words of the few people to heart. Ren Fang, why don't you come to apologize to Qilang?"

Ren Fang was still unwilling to accept it and defended: "I'm right..."

Xu You sighed and said, "It turns out that I was wrong. Don't stand up. The enemy is facing each other. It is a difficult time when everyone is united. But I am uneasy. I can't do this command anyway!"

"Ren Fang!" Gu Changyong's face, which had been smiling, sank for the first time, and said, "Kneel down!"

Ren Fang did not dare to disobey this time, so he lifted up his robe and knelt down, but the expression on his face was clear and clear. Not only did he not convinced, but he also had complaints in his heart! At the same time, several people followed him to kneel beside Ren Fang and said, "Mr. Gu, Xu You saw that the enemy was unknown, how much life would be affected by this Beiguli? Please select another talent to make the danger safe..."

"Random!" Gu Changyong's face was as heavy as water, and he said, "You all come to greet you from afar. They are all distinguished guests of Gu's family, but this Beiguli is still the Beiguli of Gu's family, and no one can decide. No need to say much, Xu You, you are still in charge of the matter here. How to mobilize troops and employ people, a word can be decided!"

"promise!"

Xu You took the order, walked up to Ren Fang, looked down at him, and said, "Ren Langjun, what do you say?"

"I don't accept you!" Ren Fangteng stood up and said, "Instead of following you, the barbarian, wait for death, we might as well rush out by ourselves. Come on, all the gentry of Donghai County will follow me to fight out... Ah, you, you dare?"

Xu You's cold eyes were the last scene in the world that Ren Fang saw. The head on his neck was like a ripe melon falling, rolling into the other people who were kneeling down. One of them fainted in shock, and the others screamed and scattered, hiding behind the pillars, looking at Xu You trembling.

Ci didn't take charge of the troops, but killed one person and the three armies were shocked, kill him!

Gu Changyong obviously did not expect Xu You to suddenly let Qingming kill someone. He left his seat slightly and put his unlifted right hand back on the table. The pain in his eyes flashed and there was no sound.

"Is there anyone else not convinced?"

The lobby was silent.

Xu You said lightly: "That's good. Give the orders to shrink your troops, give up all courtyards outside the main house, and prepare to stand for help! As long as you stick to dawn, the Governor's Office sends troops to help, the thieves will retreat!"
Chapter completed!
