On a mountain ridge north of Hutou Pass, Zhao Dagu stood behind a rock with a knife, looking down at the chaotic bandits at the foot of the mountain. Under the scorching sun, hundreds of bandits had just finished a round of strong attacks, and were sitting in groups of three or three to rest under the shade of the trees.

Among these people, there were about a dozen riding horses, and they were well-equipped, wearing rope armor and leather armor. They all held cold waist knives and bows and arrows. However, the rest were a bit messy, including young and strong men holding big swords and spears, old men holding bamboo guns and wooden shields, and some teenagers carrying javelins on their backs. They were wearing all kinds of clothes, most of whom were just cloth clothes, and very few were wearing armor.

Zhao Dagu had previously discovered several thieves riding horses, and then he was carelessly pursuing them and fell into the siege. Although he led his archers to break through the siege, he was eventually surrounded by this mountain.

With a tenacious and desperate effort, they repelled several attacks of the thieves. Although they also shot and killed more than a dozen bandits, five of their archers were killed, and most of the others were injured. Even he himself was shot in one leg and half of his clothes were stained with blood.

"Can Xiao Wu bring in the rescue?" The official Lin Yu asked Zhao Dagu.

"I hope." Zhao Dagu did not have any hope for reinforcements. The county town was nearly a hundred miles away from here, and it would not be possible for a day when it was back and forth. Although the thieves were not in a hurry to attack, he probably thought the thieves were waiting. The sun was fierce now, and they were exposed to the sun on this mountain for a day. The people were almost mindful. When it dark, the thieves would take advantage of the darkness to attack, and they could not stop them at all.

Before dark, only Liu Jun, the captain of the Nine-Headed Birds in Taiping Township, was at this time. He had just heard about this news about Liu Jun these two days. He had defeated the bandits one after another with a village warrior who had been training for more than a month. However, although Liu Jun is now in the Zhang family, he seems to have only brought about a dozen soldiers by his side. Even if Liu Jun is really willing to come to save him, it would be useless to have his dozen people.

Today, maybe I will die here in battle, Zhao Dagu sighed secretly.

At this moment, the thieves began to yell again and crawled out from behind the shade of the trees. The thieves riding horses kept waving their swords, commanding the old and young bandits to attack the mountain.

"Brothers, cheer up. Captain Liu of the Nine-Headed Bird is now bringing people to save us. If you hold on for a while, Captain Liu will arrive soon." Zhao Dagu also shouted loudly to encourage everyone's morale.

The remaining dozen wounded soldiers were energetic again and opened their bows.

There are not many arrows, and maybe they can support one or two attacks.

The thieves launched another attack. Zhao Dagu raised an arrow, half of me was behind the stone, and one arrow shot over a thief who rushed to the front. His archers also shot arrows one after another. Although the archers were just a group of seven taels of edible silver a year, they still couldn't get all the lower-level people, but the archers led by Zhao Dagu were trained by him personally, and everyone's archery skills were pretty good.

Condescending toward the armorless old and weak bandits, their arrows can often hit the thief.

Half an hour passed, and the thief was only halfway through, but he had already left several corpses. The thief shouted and turned around and fled back, regardless of the supervision of the horse-riding bandits escorting behind the formation.

Seeing this, the thief riding horses had to withdraw their troops for the time being.

Zhao Dagu let out a long breath and finally repelled another attack.

"How many arrows are left?"

“I have five more.”

"Three more."

“Only one.”

The archers reported the number of arrows they had left, and this number of arrows could only support one wave. Zhao Dagu looked up at the sky, and the hot sunlight made him unable to open his eyes. It was still so early, how could he persist?

"Look!" Suddenly a archer jumped up and shouted excitedly at the distance below the mountain.

"That's a flag, it must be our reinforcements." Another archer shouted loudly.

Zhao Dagu stood up with his wounded leg, put on a pergola in his hand and looked carefully. There were indeed red flags flying among the mountains in the distance. A team was coming. Looking at the number, it was at least over a hundred.

He wondered, where did this team come from? Could it be a thief? The reinforcements would not have come so quickly. The only one who was the Nine-Headed Bird nearest was Liu Jun, but he didn't have so many people.

He was wondering, and the bandits at the foot of the mountain also noticed this uninvited guest.

The bandits riding horses began to shout loudly, and the bandits of old and young began to gather together.

The thieves seemed to have never expected that a team of officers and soldiers would arrive at this time. It was obvious that the thieves were a little panicked. However, they did not retreat, but planned to fight. After all, although reinforcements came, there seemed to be only more than a hundred people, but they had more than 300 people, with the number of them being the best.

Liu Jun led the team to hurry up and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where inspector Zhao was surrounded. From a distance, he saw the thieves lined up along the mountain, waiting for them.

Liu Jun raised the thousand-mile mirror and looked at the thief army. He looked carefully. There were only a dozen riding horses, and the rest were just old and weak, with few armor and weapons, which were obviously a mob. After looking at both sides for a while, he did not find any ambush. Liu Jun felt relieved.

Although there were indeed more than 300 thieves, they were much weaker than he thought. Although he was fifteen people and one hundred and two ordinary people, some of them were beaten.

"Sir, Zhao Xunzhang and others are still alive." The postman leading the way pointed at the figure on the mountain and shouted. Liu Jun raised the mirror and looked at it. Sure enough, there were still some people on the mountain. Through Qianlijing, he clearly saw that one of them was wearing the Ming Dynasty official uniform and was his own, so he must be Zhao Xunzhang.

"Array!"

Liu Jun shouted loudly, he didn't rush forward. He was now full of rookie recruits. He rushed in all of his mind, but he didn't know who won and who lost.

Since inspector Zhao and others are still there, there is no hurry to go forward. It is the king's way to fight steadily. Liu Jun ordered Zhang Shan and his team to divide 120 new recruits into four square formations, thirty people in one formation, and six people in one row, and five rows.

Three square formations are arranged in a font shape, and one square formation is at the back as a reserve team. Liu Jun sent two old team members to lead each square formation, and there are seven people left, led by Liu Jun in the middle as a mobile force.

The team moved forward slowly.

Although they were a group of new recruits, they were very obedient and quickly arranged the array, and then stepped forward with bamboo guns. Every time they walked ten steps forward, Zhang Shan and the others would order the team to stop and reorganize the formation.

Regarding tactics, Liu Jun's plan was to keep the array directly and stab it with a long bamboo spear. His own seven cavalry was responsible for dealing with the enemy's cavalry. Although the tactics were simple, it should be just right for a group of new recruits. It was impossible for them to understand the difficult tactics.

Fortunately, I was facing only a group of thugs.

"Capture and kill a thief and reward twenty taels of silver!" Before the battle, Liu Jun once again emphasized the heavy reward, a group of new people, and the generous reward can make them fight for themselves and increase adrenaline. The so-called extraordinary time, an extraordinary method must be used. Capture and kill a thief and kill twenty taels of silver. Such a generous reward may not be obtained even by the soldiers on the nine sides.

But now Liu Jun is generous in giving such a reward. Under normal circumstances, there will definitely be no rewards for killing a thief, but the situation is different now. With a group of people who are just starting to fight, a generous reward is the best incentive and can maximize their morale.

Liu Jun carries a bird gun on his shoulder and two short muskets inserted around his waist, but he is holding a bow in his hand now. For an excellent archer like Liu Jun, using bows and arrows is more efficient than using guns.

However, the six officers behind Liu Jun picked up the bird guns as Liu Jun asked, and the guns had been loaded and could be fired at any time.

The thieves on the other side were also moving slowly towards this side. The formation of the thieves was not well organized. Hundreds of people formed a large formation. The person in the front was carrying a shield, followed by a spearman, and then an archer behind him, and more than a dozen bandits riding horses were on the side.

The bandit slowly forced it up.

Liu Jun shouted loudly, "Stand up!"

The four square recruits stopped advancing at the orders of their respective officers and stood still.

Liu Jun reached out to try the wind, then raised the arrow, and aimed at the red flag in front of the thieves' team. There were no words or patterns on the flag, just a red flag.

Aim and shoot arrows.

An arrow hit the thief's flag, the flagpole broke, and the flag drifted away in the wind.

There was a riot in the thief team. It was obvious that before two battles, their flag was shot off by the opponent. This was obviously a bad omen. The thief riding a horse shouted and scolded him one after another, and the thief team stabilized.

Liu Jun looked at him with a smile, and when the enemy came over, he turned his head and said to Dong Gouzi behind him, "Let's shoot!"

Donggouzi and the other six raised six muskets. They originally had bows and arrows, but Liu Jun asked them to use bird guns, not because the bird guns were more powerful, but because the bird guns were more powerful. Using bird guns to deal with those thugs often has better effect.

The bandits have approached sixty steps.

Someone had already started to shoot arrows here after the thief formation, but the thief's bows and arrows were not accurate, and they landed far in front of the queue.

"Preparation!" Liu Jun raised his hand.

The fire door cover has been opened and the fuse is lit. The gunmen have aimed.

"Let me go!" Liu Jun waved his hand heavily and shouted loudly.

In order to maintain accuracy, Liu Jun deliberately put the thief closer to sixty steps before ordering shooting, which was nearly twenty steps closer than the eighty steps that everyone usually trained.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

With six consecutive guns, gunpowder filled with smoke, which was extremely pungent.

Six guns were blew together, and not only smoke from gunpowder but also lead bullets were sprayed.

With the roar of bird guns, several bandits walking in the front were knocked over to the ground and fell to the ground and screamed loudly. Even though they held their shields, they still couldn't stop the spraying lead.

Such a dense formation and such a close distance, six officers shot, and these six guns hit 100% and each gun hit the target.

Liu Jun raised the arrow and shot again, shouting, "Shoot the arrow!"

The eight officers who led the team and the hunters in the team all raised their hunting bows and shot with arrows.

Dozens of arrows fell from the sky, and another scream came from the thieves.

After Liu Jun and his archers shot out the third round, Dong Gouzi and his friends had completed the loading of muskets, and another row of bird guns sprayed out a large amount of white smoke, and then the bandits fell down several more.

"Shoot the arrow!"

"shot!"

The bows and arrows and bird guns were fired intertwined, and the bandits kept falling down. In just a short time, dozens of them had fallen down.

The bandits riding horses pulled the screaming war horses and kept whipping the panicked bandits, causing them to speed up to rush towards the enemy formation. But the bandits were cannon fodder mobs, and under the precise bird guns and bows, they were all a little scared. They shouted one by one, but after a long time, they didn't move forward a few steps. Instead, they squeezed into a ball, making the bird guns and bows and arrows shoot more happily and accurately.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled with smoke on the field, and the bandits were inexplicably shocked.

The bandit riding a horse was anxious when he saw this, and finally a guy shouted at the formation with a gatekeeper.

Seeing this, the other bandits rode their horses and rushed forward. Under the leadership of these bandits riding horses, the other bandits finally ran forward.

"Rise the gun!"

Zhang Shan in front of the recruits roared, put away his bow and arrow, and raised his flag gun. The little red flag on the flag gun was fluttering, extremely conspicuous. He roared and raised his flag gun.

The team members followed the trees to raise bamboo guns that were 18 feet long.

The bandit was rushing closer and closer with the sword in his hand. Zhang Shan stared at him. When he rushed to the front, Zhang Shan yelled, "Let the gun flat!"

Spears are laid flat.

"Thorn!" Zhang Shan yelled again.

Thirty bamboo spears behind him suddenly stabbed out together. On the horse's back, Mao Dadao, who had already raised the sword high, found in despair that it seemed that thousands of flowers suddenly bloomed in front of him.

His knife was still raised high, but he never had the chance to cut it down again.

The enemy was right in front of him, but he couldn't cut them down.
