521. The ambush of the bandits
Walking on the country road, Li Hugo carried a thousand men and three brothers behind him.
The ordinary people in the team are the original Yellow Turban Army, these days Liao Hua and Guan Erzi are training them, and they are all working very hard, after all, now they have transformed from the Yellow Turban Army to the official army, they can eat public meals, and there are two taels of silver every month.
Many of them have already settled down in Hongnong County, or they have asked someone to bring their wives and children over, so it can be said that they have already taken root.
And although Liao Hua and the three of them didn't say it, they were still quite grateful to Li Hugo in their hearts.
In this chaotic world, who wants to be a yellow turban thief?
The group came to the foot of the mountain, all the way to the peace, but unexpectedly, when they came to the east village, there was no one in the village, as if in an instant, the villagers here had evaporated, Li Hugo was also curious, immediately dismounted and walked forward, went to the village to see the traces.
However, as he expected, the people here are gone, and he doesn't know what happened.
Everyone also dismounted one after another and came to the village, but this strange village exuded a very dangerous smell, and Li Hugo's feeling told him that something was going to happen.
At this moment, suddenly a house in the distance made a sound of opening the door, and Zhou Cang exclaimed: "This, the people in this village won't all die, right? Then this village will become a ghost village, and they will all come to ask us for their lives." ”
"You are a ghost, and it is not us who killed them, and we have not been able to fight with us for eight lifetimes, and we have never been here, I see, they are hiding, ready to give us a welcome ceremony, look, and then they will come over with pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep to entertain us, and then let us eat and drink to our heart's content, and go to fight the bandits." Guan Er was stunned and said.
But at this moment, suddenly footsteps came from all directions, and Li Hugo was surprised, because at this time, a large number of people and horses appeared near the pond, among the houses, in the woods on the hills, in the livestock sheds, and even on the roofs, and many of these people were wearing animal skins and holding weapons.
"It's not good, this is an ambush!" Li Hugo exclaimed, he got on the horse, but unexpectedly, a group of thieves appeared behind him at this time, and they surrounded them and wrapped dumplings.
"Please say that this is 300 people, I see where there are 300 people, it is clearly 3,000 people, Ya...... We've been tricked!" Liao Hua spat on the ground and took off the big knife behind him.
"There are two possibilities, one is that the information is wrong, and the other is ...... Someone is plotting to kill us, and we must have violated the interests of some people by coming to Hongnong County, and they want to get rid of us as soon as possible. Li Hugo said.
On the roof, a man dressed in tiger skin carried a nine-ring gold-backed machete on his shoulder, and he burst into shouting: "When you finally come, you will know that your group of officers and soldiers will hear the news!"
"Bold thieves, openly attacking the official army, are you planning to go against the entire imperial court?" Liao Hua shouted.
The bandit leader laughed, licked the blade with his tongue, and said: "The imperial court, bullshit imperial court, who doesn't know that now the capital has changed the sky, Dong Zhuo and Dong Taishi took the unequaled fierce general Lu Bu to control the imperial court, abolished Liu Wei, and set up a new emperor Liu Xie, and now he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this great Han Jiangshan is not surnamed Liu, but surnamed Dong! Don't mention any imperial court to me, we are the bandits of the Eighteen Mountains of Fujian Province united, in order to wipe out these magnificent officials and soldiers here!"
"Bold!" Li Hugo shouted, took down the Sun and Moon Knife, and the slender handle was held by Li Hugo at the end, and he said: "You are killing yourself, just a group of thieves, you want to fight our regular army?"
"Yo he, you little white face, I heard that you are the new Li Hugo, right? I know, your sister is Zou Xiangyu, the wife of Zhang Ji, the Taishou of Hongnong County, but this Zou Xiangyu is called a beautiful one, but it is a pity that he has a good age, but he has to accompany a sick ghost to live, this Zhang Ji has a serious lung disease, and I don't know when to burp, after that Zhang Ji burp, Lao Tzu went down the mountain and snatched Zou Xiangyu over to be Lao Tzu's wife in the village!"
"It seems that you are quite well-informed? Who told you to ambush here?" Li Hugo immediately smelled of conspiracy, and sure enough, someone had harmed him.
The man said in a cold voice: "Lao Tzu Xing does not change his name and sits or change his surname, but this Dongjo Mountain carries the handle, and Wang Ergou, who is known as the mountain dragon, is also! Just imagine it, obediently put down your weapons, and then stand where to be a living target for me to wait for me to cut and kill, otherwise Lao Tzu will slice the pieces into meat slices, and then coat them with sauce and send them to the mountains to be eaten by wild beasts and jackals!"
The mountain dragon shouted, and his mouth was quite good.
"I think it's almost the same as a mountain worm!" said Li Hugo.
was ridiculed by Li Hugo like this, and he roared angrily: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, little ones, solve these officers and soldiers for me!"
Hongnong County has eighteen mountain cottages, this Li Hugo has also heard a little, I heard that on weekdays, these bandits are each other's horns, relying on natural danger to do evil in the vicinity, one is prosperous, one is lost, no matter which way the bandits encounter the official army encirclement, the other seventeen bandits will go over to help.
Therefore, the eighteen cottages are also quite difficult to deal with, and powerful characters like Zhang Ji cannot completely pull out this tumor, which shows the degree of trouble.
Of course, this is also because Hongnong County itself is a small place, although it is nominally a county, but in fact it is a rather narrow place, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are so many villages, even if it is the county seat of Hongnong County, but in fact, the people in the county are only hundreds of thousands, among which the old, weak, sick and disabled are the majority.
Most of the thieves here are also from the Yellow Turban Thieves, and Zhang Ji didn't deal with them because there were less than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and Li Hugo knew that there should be only 8,000 people to be correct.
There are only 8,000 people under a county guard, and I am afraid that others will laugh when they say it, compared to Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou City, although Xuzhou City is not much bigger than Hongnong County, but it is better than the large population base, so the soldiers and horses can reach 100,000 people.
At this time, the bandits were killed by black pressure, Li Hugo held the knife in both hands, and shouted angrily: "Brothers, it's time to work!"
"Roar!" The soldiers behind Li Hugo were also eager to try, and they all wanted to give themselves a perfect opening match.
