"Little Thumb" is the leader of a gang of bandits in the territory of Twenty-Nine Village, and Little Thumb is his nickname. When he was still a teenager, he had his left and right thumbs chopped off for stealing, and only eight fingers remained.www.biquge.info Little Thumb is unrighteous, even his peers hate him, and in order to mock him for not having Little Thumb, the criminals deliberately gave him such a nickname.

Little Thumb has a bad character, but he still becomes the leader of the bandits. It's not because he's loved, it's because he's strong enough. As the saying goes, people gather by like, things by groups, and thieves who can gather under the hands of Little Thumb are not good kinds. For him and his men, doing bad things is as natural as eating and drinking, and being poked in the back makes them happy, because they have one more reason to kill.

Ordinary bandits know the truth of a long stream. Since they are bandits, they must be hiding in the mountains, with a stronghold like a cottage. On weekdays, they hide in their strongholds, and when it's time to loot, they don't go down the mountain.

The robbery of bandits is different from that of robbers, they are accustomed to salute first and then soldiers, and if they can not fight, they will not fight, and it is best to collect a toll or protection fee for nothing. Each bandit has their own range of activities, that is, territory, and generally speaking, bandits on different sites will not go to other people's territory to steal business.

Little Thumb is an outlier among the bandits, although they will also salute first and then soldier, but this salute is false. As long as you choose to give up resistance, they will take advantage of your unpreparedness to rush up, kill everyone they can kill, grab everything they can, and then walk away.

When looting villages, the average bandit will choose the time after the harvest has been harvested, because this is the most rewarding. When robbing, they will rush up, use their loud voices and bright knives and guns to make the villagers lose their will to resist, and then grab food, money, and women.

There is also a way for this thief to rob. They will always rob in a certain amount, whether it is food, money, or women, they must have a degree when robbing, so as not to be bitten by the rabbit who is in a hurry. When encountering a village protected by the lord, the bandits will deliberately keep their hands behind, so as not to kill the lord of the village.

But this little thumb never obeyed these rules. He and his bandits robbed the village as much as they slaughtered it, so much so that now there was nothing left in his territory to rob. Little Thumb often takes his people to other people's territory to rob, and everywhere he goes, there is no more to rob.

Due to institutional reasons in the 29th Village, the bandits did not dare to fight the idea of there on weekdays. Therefore, they could only build cottages in the territory of Twenty-nine Villages, robbing passing caravans, or villages outside the borders. Therefore, for the bandits, it is absolutely undesirable to fish with all their might, and the practice of the little thumb is undoubtedly equivalent to cutting off people's money.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and his peers hate him so much that their teeth itch. The bandits in the village of Twenty-Nine were twisted into a rope because of their little thumbs, and they pondered how to kill him all day long. But this little thumb is cautious, and his cottage is very hidden, and no one can find it.

On this day, the leader of the bandits in the Twenty-Nine Village, the scar-faced man nicknamed "White Maniac", gathered several bandit leaders except Little Thumb. The white maniac has a snow-white body and an uncertain and moody personality, so he is named "white maniac". Although the white madman was moody, he was a righteous man, and several bandit leaders had received his favor, so they willingly respected him as their leader.

The white madman captured a few evil witches a while ago. Seeing that these evil witches were beautiful, ********, and had a pair of bewitching eyes, the white madman chose the most beautiful of them as the Lady of the Village, and then distributed the remaining few to the other bandit leaders, and the number was just right. Although it is often said that no book is written without coincidence, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?

In fact, these evil witches are the people who wish the witch the chief witch to say and bury them beside the bandit forces. And before that, she had already used the same method to send a few evil witches into Little Thumb's cottage and find out the location of his cottage. Originally, she wanted to let a few bandit forces and Little Thumb Dog eat dog, and then take the opportunity to kill all the bandits. Now the situation has changed, and the empty garrison of Twenty-Nine Village has become the primary target of the evil witch, but the little thumb is still in the way.

Little Thumb has saved a lot of resources because of bad things, and there are people who have resources these years, and people have strength. Now Little Thumb's bandit gang has become the most powerful bandit force in Twenty-Nine Village, if not, the other bandit gangs don't need to twist into a rope to deal with him.

Little Thumb is a lover of solitary eaters, and all the witches he catches are all taken to his pillow, which is exactly what the witches wish. The evil witches used their bodies to fascinate the little thumb, and the pillow wind was just a small blow, and the little thumb was put on with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, the little thumb people came to my territory to grab business, and I beat them away." The white madman said to the bandit leaders, "I know they have oil on their feet, so I kept an eye on them, and sent someone who can run and hide to follow them, and finally found the rabbit's nest!" ”

The white madman's words lifted the spirits of the bandit leaders, and they all said that they would go back to the cottage now to gather people and horses, and go and kill Little Thumb now.

"There's no hurry."

The white madman raised his hand and signaled for everyone to be quiet.

"Little Thumb is definitely going to be killed, but today I came to you, and there are more important things to discuss with you."

When the bandit leaders heard this, they looked at each other, in their opinion, killing Little Thumb now was the most important thing, how could there be more important things to discuss?

"After killing Little Thumb, I want to do a vote in Twenty-Nine Village!"

Last night, the white madman told his wife that he wanted to kill Little Thumb, and his wife immediately called him a fool. The white madman is a good-looking person, how can he make a girl look down on herself? In a fit of rage, he slapped his wife, but he regretted it.

looked at the lady hiding in the quilt and wiping her tears, and made the white madman very distressed. He coaxed him in a good voice for a long time before his wife burst into tears and laughed.

After that, the white madman asked, why do you say I'm stupid?

His wife pretended to hesitate and pretended to be embarrassed, and when the white madman saw this, he felt that his wife must have something to hide from him, so he asked vigorously. When the evil witch saw that he had taken the bait, she told him the news that the twenty-nine villages were empty and that the evil witch wanted to attack there.

Of course, this news was deliberately revealed to the white madman by the evil witch. As soon as the white madman heard that the evil witch was going to do something to the twenty-nine villages, he immediately had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do a vote when the evil witch was robbing.

You must know that the total number of villages in the twenty-nine villages now exceeds seventy, and they are villages one after another, and the area is very large. The white madman didn't know how many witches there were, but he felt that even if the witches sent everyone, they wouldn't be able to steal everything. In that case, why don't you take advantage of the fire?

As soon as the white madman told the bandit leaders about his thoughts, everyone saw that it was good to take it, and immediately patted the white madman's sycophants and shouted wisely. So the matter was settled, the bandits first killed Little Thumb, and then when the evil witch attacked the twenty-nine villages, they would take advantage of the fire in the twenty-nine villages to rob as much as they could.

On the same day, the Iraa coalition troops stationed in Kamijin Prefecture discovered the traces of the Bujin army. The scouts followed the trail and soon spotted the Bujin army marching in the direction of Kamijin County.

The scouts of the Ira people were soon discovered by the scouts of the Bukin, and in order to bring the information back to Kamijin Prefecture, the Ira scouts did not care about the number of enemy troops, and turned around and ran. The Bukin scouts pursued him for a while, but failed to catch up, and could only inform General North of the revelation of his whereabouts.

Salin? North is a veteran of the Boukins, he is 105 years old this year, but he is only middle-aged among the long-lived Ilibis. After learning that his whereabouts had been exposed, General North unhurriedly opened the map, confirmed his current location, and then asked his troops to stop marching and station on the spot.

General North did not want to attack Kamiima-shicho directly, but wanted to lure the Ira people to the plains to fight a decisive battle with him, and after destroying the main force of the Ira, he would attack Kami-ima-shiro. The Bujin army was now on an open plain, making it an ideal location for a decisive battle. General North mounted his horse, circled around, and made a high slope near the water a formal camp, where the accompanying sappers could build fortifications.

After learning the news of the entry of the Bujin army, Cheng Weilin of Shangjin County immediately sent additional scouts to find out the size and movement of the enemy. It didn't take long for the scouts to bring back the news.

The scouts said that the number of the Bujin army was between 20,000 and 30,000, and it was likely that it would exceed 25,000. They had at least 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 or 4,000 baggage troops, and about 2,000 engineers. The infantry scouts had not yet figured out, but they had found no sign of the musketeers.

The scouts also said that the Bujin people camped in the plains of northern Kamijin Prefecture and sent cavalry and small infantry to several nearby villages to buy food, but did not disturb the people.

When the Ira people inquired about the situation of the Bujin people, the Bujin people also sent spies to Kamijin Prefecture to inquire about the situation of the Iliang people. Due to the great difference in appearance between the Bujin and the Iri, the spies of the Bujin people could only put on tattered cloaks, cover their white hair, hairy white ears, and the fluffy white tail behind them, disguise themselves as wanderers, blend into a caravan of Tairong people, and follow them into the county seat of Shangjin.

Now Kamijin Prefecture and Rimi Shrine and Twenty-nine Village have formed a coalition army, and the fact that they want to fight with the Bujin people is already known to passers-by. After receiving enough information, the spies infiltrated a caravan of the Ira people, left the prefecture of Kamijin, and truthfully reported the information they had heard to Shogun North.

At present, the troops in the 29th village have not yet arrived, and the strength of the city is about 20,000 people, of which about 7,000 belong to the Rimi Shrine, and the city has sufficient food and grass, the morale of the troops is high, and the people's morale is also very stable. It is said that the army of Riya Shrine was led by a long shrine maiden named Ranzen, and the army of Kamijin Prefecture was led by a general named Wei Xu.

North knew something about the two men.

Lansen is a close confidant of the Great Shrine Maiden of Rimi Shrine, the same person who used to trade dyed pottery with Maier. However, everyone knows the current situation of Rimi Shrine, and the cronies of the Great Witch may not have much say in the army. Therefore, the actual leader of the Rimi Shrine Army should be someone else, and North felt that if the long witch named Manyun went with the army, she must be the one in charge of the military.

About thirty years ago, there was a war between the Bujin and the Ira. At that time, North was not a general, but a cavalry officer, commanding a battalion of predatory cavalry. At that time, the previous Great Witch had not yet died, but she was too old to lead an army. So she let her most trusted long witch lead the army of the Rimi Shrine into battle, and the long witch who led the army was this man named Manyun.

Man Yun uses soldiers to like swords to go sideways, and never plays cards according to routines. In that battle, Man Yun suddenly led a cavalry of war witches from the formation to kill in a state of stalemate in the battle, and approached the main formation of the Bujin army. If it weren't for North and his cavalry battalion falling back to the vicinity of the main camp to recuperate, Man Yun would probably have led her warrior cavalry to break through the main formation, throwing the Bujin command into disarray.

As for Wei Xu, he is the nephew of Wei Lin, the county Cheng and the son of Wei Lan, a famous general in Shangjin County. He is said to be very talented in military affairs, but it seems that he has not been on the battlefield yet, and it stands to reason that he should not sit in this position. Considering that Wei Lan died of illness two years ago, Wei Lin should have made him the commander because of his younger brother's affection. North didn't know what he was capable of, nor was he aware of his style of use, so he could only see him as a potential opponent first.

The Ira people have not yet received information from the commander of the Bujin people, and can only hope for spies lurking in the Bujin Republic. When they sent the scattered information back to Kamijin Prefecture, the Ira people would be able to deduce the identity of their opponents based on this information.

The two armies stood still, and two days passed like this. At noon on the third day, the troops of the 29th Village, led by Nam Yi Jushi and Yan He, arrived at the county seat of Shangjin.
