Early the next morning, the leaders of Wulonggou gathered together again, and at first expressed their opinions, Ji Ya did not make a decision immediately, and after a while she finally spoke, adopting the idea of attacking first to defeat the main force of the Ma family.

The leaders in the dispute also unified their voices, Huangfu Yan had already greeted them last night, and before Ji Ya spoke today, they were just fighting for it one last time, since Ji Ya had decided, then they would just obey the order.

After all, not everyone knows or agrees with Ji Ya's identity, so some people are very puzzled by Ji Ya's leadership of Wulonggou, such as Xiongyi and Xiongying, two brothers and sisters, in their opinion, Ji Ya is just a teenage girl of the same age, but as a result, the leaders of the entire cottage obey their orders, is it because her cultivation is relatively high?

But anyway, the plan was decided, and the people in charge of civil affairs and logistics left the organization of the people first, just telling everyone to pack up their things and be ready to leave the cottage at any time, and did not explain much in detail.

The rest of the fighters have to hold a meeting to study the specific plan of action, and this matter must be kept strictly secret, and for the entire Wulonggou, in fact, these leaders do not fully trust.

There are already more than 10,000 people in Wulonggou, but the so-called soldiers and horses are still less than 3,000, and these 3,000 people are not all professional soldiers, they are half peasants and half soldiers. Other armament rations, in addition to the previous accumulation, the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce also provided a lot, so there is no hidden danger of not being able to support it for the time being.

The reason why the soldiers who fought are not maintained is that on the one hand, they really feel that it is not very useful to let these people go to the battlefield, and it is better to concentrate on training some people with battlefield experience, and the soldiers are not much more expensive. On the other hand, it is also because of mistrust. The current 3,000 soldiers, including veterans who followed Geng Chang's campaign, high-end combat saint warriors who worship the Holy Maiden Sect, and White Tiger Fengcong who have come all the way with the Xiong brothers and sisters, can be said to be familiar with the roots. On the civilian side, most of them are all kinds of displaced people, and they have long been unable to find out the existence of household registration far from their hometowns, so their past experiences can only be told by them.

Since the establishment of Wulonggou, there have often been looting activities in the surrounding area, and it is difficult to guarantee that a few spies will not be mixed in. Before, Huangfu Yan rode in the mountains, not only afraid of outsiders coming in, but also afraid of internal ghosts going out. Since Qi Diaoyan came, some members of the 'Chaoyang' have also turned into homeless people to defect, and they and the spies of other forces have been engaged in a silent battle in Wulong Gou. Every now and then, there are people who are stoned to death, drowned, or die of sudden illness because of accidents, some of them are true, and some of them are doing it in secret.

However, the members of 'Chaoyang Sun' have only been here for a short time, and it is impossible to really clear all the ghosts inside. So now ordinary people only know that because of the arrival of the Ma family's forces, they have to move the village.

After discussing for a while, several people made a battle plan, but it was not complicated. Today, mobilize the people to pack up their bags, and the main force of Wulonggou will attack Majiawu Fort early tomorrow morning, and all the people will leave Wulonggou early the morning after tomorrow, leaving some people behind.

The composition of these three waves of men and horses has also been discussed, and the main force of the battle is led by Ji Ya, Chun Yu Wuji, Ruan Yu, and Geng Chang to attack Wubao with 2,000 people. The tens of thousands of civilians in the middle are led by Liu Jiantu, Ai Qing, Wanli Zhengxiong, Xiongyi, Ding Xiaoxiao, Liu Ming and others. And Huangfu Yan led more than 30 cavalry and 100 holy warriors to protect them, in fact, in terms of combat power, this 100 holy warriors were much stronger than the 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers led by Ji Ya, so they were not afraid that someone would have no resistance when they took advantage of the fire to rob. It's just that the relative number of people is still too small to take into account everyone.

The last to finish is Xiongying and Qi Diaoyan, don't look at it as just two young girls, but in terms of thoughtfulness and spicy hearts, a few men may not be the opponents of the two of them. After everyone left, the two of them led the young men of the White Tiger Wind to set fire to all parts of Wulong Ditch, leaving nothing for others.

……

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and even if there are spies from various forces, they can't figure out what the situation is here for a while.

Another day passed, and early this morning, Ji Ya took Chun Yu Wuji, Ruan Yu, Geng Chang and two thousand miscellaneous soldiers from Wulonggou and went straight to Majiawu Fort. In just one night, Qi Diaoyan had already roughly figured out the situation of the other party, just as Ji Ya expected, although there were 5,000 people in the Ma family in Changzhou, it was impossible to stare at Wulonggou. In addition to Ma Juncai, there were also four children of the Ma family, and only Ma Juncai and three of them had 3,000 men and horses in this fort, and another person was stationed in Changzhou City with 2,000 people.

Because he has been staring at the direction of Wulonggou, naturally there are scouts who immediately report to Ma Juncai about the personnel transfer this time.

Ma Juncai and the three deputies tightened their hearts, they knew that the thieves in Wulonggou would not be too peaceful after the eldest brother left, but they didn't expect it to come quite quickly. The last time I suffered a loss, not only did I lose my soldiers, but even a few of the subdued monsters died, especially the two war eagles that were difficult to catch. With the advice of the eldest brother, Ma Juncai will naturally not be stupid enough to take someone to the door to take revenge, but since he came out of the mountains, it is difficult to say......

Ma Juncai was still groaning, and a deputy asked, "How many thieves have come out this time? What is the configuration?

In the end, it was a professional scout in the army, and at a glance he could roughly see the general situation of this group: "About two thousand people, except for the leader, the rest are light infantry, and some shield soldiers and archers. The goal is not yet clear, but it is consistent with the direction of Zhumaburg. ”

When the Ma family conquered a new territory, if they could not start a war with a sword and a gun, they would build this kind of small fortress that was easy to garrison in the name of suppressing bandits, protecting merchants, and clearing wasteland. With this as a base, the military tentacles of the Ma family will be extended to various places.

The deputy asked, "Brother Juncai, what are these people going to do? Didn't they take advantage of the emptiness on our side to come and test us?"

Ma Juncai had already intended to fight, so he said: "We don't move him on weekdays, he took the initiative to call the door, this time we must give them a good look!"

Another deputy persuaded: "Brother Juncai, Brother Wencai said when he left, we are not allowed to fight privately, the other party has not yet figured out what it means, and I am afraid that there will be losses if I deal with it rashly." ”

As soon as he said that this Ma Juncai was also a little difficult, just thinking about revenge just now, forgetting the stubble of the eldest brother, he respected his eldest brother from the bottom of his heart, and he was also afraid from the bottom of his heart. He is not worried about whether the other party will come to provoke him, or whether he will have a backhand.

First of all, he believed in the strength of the Ma family's troops, the last time he attacked the cottage, the terrain was limited, and he was careless for a while, so he suffered a big loss. Because of this, he has always been impetuous and revengeful, and he did not find trouble in Wulonggou again. But if the two sides set up a position on the plain, even if the opponent is powerful, their side will not eat white rice, even if they kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, this revenge will have to be avenged.

Secondly, the location of Zhumabao is a smooth road, the surrounding vision is good, and there are three war eagles on his side, and the other party will definitely not be able to hide any ambush and backup, I am afraid that this group of thieves will have some left-hand skills.

Ma Juncai, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly remembered the order that he could not attack when he heard the word "eldest brother", and most of the heat in his heart was extinguished, and his expression also revealed irritability: "Hmph! Also, many scouts have expanded the scope of spying, so be sure to figure out what they are going out of the mountain for!?"

"Yes!" Although you can't attack, you can't completely ignore it, you still need to prepare for war, a few deputies are ordered to prepare, and the scouts also leave to continue the investigation.

At the beginning, everyone was just vigilant, but with the scouts reporting one after another, people with discerning eyes could see that this time the Wulonggou big move was aimed at them, and Ma Juncai, who was already holding back his anger, was even more angry: "Command the whole army, prepare to fight with me!"

A deputy hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Juncai, Brother Wencai is obviously asking us to strictly guard ......."

Ma Juncai interrupted him and said, "Big brother really didn't ask us to take the initiative, but the current situation is that they came to the door." No matter when defending the city is the last step, for our Ma family's iron cavalry scimitar, in the field outside can exert its power! Besides, after the eldest brother left, the big and small people in Changzhou stared at us, wanting to see our jokes, if our 3,000 people were blocked by 2,000 thieves in Zhuma Fort, and we didn't even dare to take the risk, then we would really lose face. ”

The deputy also wanted to speak and stopped, although Ma Juncai was a little impulsive, but this is not unreasonable, the three thousand regular army did not dare to face the two thousand bandits, and the Ma family would be shameless?

After a while, the scouts came to report that the bandit army was not far from the dock fort, and Ma Juncai ordered the whole army to go out of the city and prepare for battle. The Ma family is famous for its scimitar spirit, while the Ma family's troops are known for their iron horses. In this battle of Chuanyun Pass, although a large number of cavalry were withdrawn, Ma Juncai was still left with 500 iron cavalry. Three hundred of them stayed in Changzhou City, after all, this garrison fort accommodated thousands of soldiers, so it was difficult to raise another five hundred war horses. This is also the reason why several deputies did not stop him from going into battle, and it is obvious that these two hundred cavalry have a greater role outside.

When Ji Ya and his party arrived, the people of the Ma family had already lined up in formation, not to mention, the lineup of these two hundred cavalry was really gluttonous, and all the horses in the entire cottage together were less than a hundred, and they could barely be used for battle, and there were only about thirty of them that could really be called war horses. The men and horses of Wulonggou came from afar, and they didn't dare to get too close, otherwise the other party could crush them with a charge.

Let everyone breathe a sigh of relief first, Ji Ya looked at the cavalry phalanx from afar: "Sister Ruan, look at the cavalry phalanx of the Ma family." ”

Looking at the orderly array, Ruan Yu also felt that the Ma family really lived up to its reputation, that is, the infantry formation still needed to be rehearsed, and the cavalry was not only himself, but also the war horses had to be uniform, which was not easy. I saw her nod: "The Ma family's iron horse is really powerful, it seems that this is a tough battle." ”

Ji Ya didn't mean that: "I didn't mean that, Sister Ruan, look at the cavalry phalanx of the Ma family, hum, mine." ”

"Huh?" Ruan Yu didn't react for a while, she was still worried about the sharpness of the other party's cavalry, and Ji Ya had already counted the two hundred cavalry as her own.

In fact, no matter what kind of troops the other party is, there are thousands of people. It's nothing for Ji Ya's kind of cultivation, if she can let go of her hands and feet, Ji Ya can settle it alone. But Lin Yue had warned her that as a cultivator, she must not rely on Dao magic and immortal techniques to slaughter mortals, if so, there would be a backlash. Maybe it's because you can't get through your mind when you practice, or maybe it's when you're fighting with others, you lose a move when you lose your luck for a moment. It may even affect your luck, and you can unintentionally gather the people or things that can restrain yourself, and you will die an unknown death.

The more powerful you are, the more cautious you must be. Lin Yue also used his magic powers to kill people, but most of the time he appeared on the battlefield as a military general, and rarely used the Five Spirits Immortal Technique or other spells to kill people on a large scale.

The children of the Ma family on the other side are also cultivators strictly speaking, so it doesn't hurt to kill them with Ji Ya's spells, these ordinary soldiers still have to rely on the means of the battle.

Ma Juncai looked at the opponent, although it was only 2,000 bandits, but the formation was orderly and there was no panic, it could be said that he had seen the closest bandits to the regular army, although he had 200 cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry on his side, but there were also a lot of losses in hard fighting.

He said to his deputy: "I see that the other side has a lot of archers, and they must want to kill and wound the cavalry with arrows while we are charging. ”

The war eagle sprinkled a special explosive incendiary bomb, which placed the refined explosive oil and the proportional explosive powder in a special clay pot, and ignited the cotton yarn used to ignite the fire outside the clay pot when used, and threw it out to shatter, which could not only cause a fire, but also set off an explosion and splash the oil fire everywhere.

The deputy said, "If the sharpshooter who shot down the war eagle last time is also there, won't we go to die?"

Ma Juncai said: "Don't worry, last time I attacked the cottage, the terrain in the mountains restricted the flight of the war eagles, and now in the plains, you just need to throw down the firearms to disrupt the formation, as long as there is enough height, the power of the marksman will be greatly reduced." ”

The deputy thought about it for a while, even if the marksman was there, he couldn't waste the advantage of the entire three war eagles for the sake of one person, he went to find the other two to prepare to attack from the air.
