Wu Zheng's words caused the merchants to be even more annoyed.

A businessman stood up with an angry face and said, "Lord Wu, it's not that we feel sorry for this money, but that we heard that Lord Wu wants to suppress bandits and benefit the people of Shaoxing Mansion, so I willingly pay for it." But now that Lord Wu said that he would withdraw his troops, wouldn't the bandits in Pinggang Mountain have a grudge against us, and if they come to the door one day, it will be a disaster to destroy the door! ”

This resonated with everyone.

Most people are really worried about this, donating money is an attitude, and if the bandits know who donated money to the officials and soldiers to suppress the bandits, then a catastrophe will come.

Wu Zheng kept a smile on his face all the time, and he didn't care about the accusations at all.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came in and whispered a few words to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng stood up with a "pout", hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Everyone, the military situation is urgent, and this official is out of company." ”

After saying that, he pulled his legs and left.

Shen Bancheng was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed Wu Zheng's sleeve and said, "You have to explain things clearly before leaving." ”

Wu Zheng said helplessly: "Uncle Shen, do you know that the hundred people in Zhiyuan are now being besieged by hundreds of bandits?" ”

Shen Bancheng was so frightened that he hurriedly let go, and hurriedly said, "Huh?!" Are you still ...... Why don't you go soon? ”

Wu Zheng withdrew his troops, not because he was really afraid of the bandits.

Rather, it was discussed again and again with the people under his command.

The withdrawal of troops was true, but it also left Shen Zhiyuan, Zhou Dahu and a hundred soldiers.

In order to hide people's eyes, Wu Zheng took away a hundred villagers from Laohuai Village.

Let Shen Zhiyuan, Zhou Dahu and a hundred soldiers pretend to be villagers in each house to confuse the bandits.

The purpose of leaving these 100 people is not to use these 100 people to attack the crowd less.

but to provoke and lure the bandits out of the mountains.

For this reason, Wu Zheng withdrew everyone except for the hundred people to the Lianghu Guardhouse, which was forty or fifty miles away.

And deliberately create a momentum and post a notice to return the money.

In order to show the enemy weakness.

Whether it is a soldier or a bandit, they have one thing in common, that is, they eat rice that licks blood on the knife edge.

This bite of rice is a kind of face, a kind of momentum.

It's rare to hear of robbers fighting each other constantly.

If you really keep fighting, you will die a long time ago.

Robbers and street gangsters also have one thing in common, that is, they eat for ten years in a fight.

Before becoming famous, fight hard, and then rush to the reputation of this battle, you can eat ten years of peace.

At this point, Zhou Dahu has the most right to speak.

The same goes for the bandits, Liu Laosan is also facing the challenge of more than a dozen small bandits in Pinggang Mountain, and he has 500 people under his command, which is also joined by Liu Laosan's momentum.

If Liu Laosan is soft on the officers and soldiers, then maybe his subordinates will run out overnight.

Therefore, Wu Zheng showed weakness to the enemy first, giving Liu Laosan a kind of psychological comfort, making him think that the official army was afraid.

In this way, Liu Laosan invisibly had the courage to fight with the officials and soldiers.

At the same time, with an army that is not big or small, it creates an illusion in Liu Laosan's heart that the number of officers and soldiers is small and can be defeated.

There are too many people, which will scare Liu Laosan.

There are fewer people, Liu Laosan will wonder if there is still a conspiracy among the officials and soldiers, otherwise thirty or fifty people will be sent to death outside the mountain gate?

A hundred people, just right.

It's like two dueling people, the other party is too weak and boring, too strong to beat.

You can overcome it with hard work, and that's what makes it most attractive.

The so-called most fortunate thing in life is that there is an opponent who is on a par.

The soldiers came to report the news that Liu Laosan led the bandits to dispatch.

Wu Zheng has placed a lot of eyeliner between Laohuai Village and Lianghu Guard, and it may be said that everything in Laohuai Village is clear.

Liu Laosan was negligent a little, and it was also the most fatal point.

Between Laohuai Village and Lianghu Guard, there is indeed a half-hour journey.

But Liu Laosan didn't know that there were soldiers on horseback in the Lianghu Guardhouse now.

There were twelve hundred horses.

Wu Zheng didn't need cavalry to fight, as long as the horses carried people to Laohuai Village.

The 1,200 people in the guard center have been waiting for the past three days.

As long as Wu Zheng gives an order, he can get on the horse.

Riding a horse and galloping, at most a pillar of incense time.

The 100 Ming troops in ambush only need to hold a pillar of incense for a long time.

These 1,200 people are Liu Laosan's nightmare.

……。

Liu Laosan is indeed a ruthless person.

He didn't talk much, but he did have two brushes under his hands.

The knife in his hand knocked over several officers and soldiers of the guard.

As a result, the bandits surrounded the officers and soldiers, and for a time they were blazing.

From the beginning of receiving the enemy, Shen Zhiyuan has been pressing Zhou Dahu, not letting him be impulsive, and according to Wu Zheng's deployment, he retreated to the village step by step with the officers and soldiers.

Wu Zheng's deployment is actually just two words - drag and lead.

Drag until reinforcements arrive, and lure the bandits as far away from the side of the mountain as possible.

But in the eyes of Liu Laosan and the bandits, it is cowardice.

Moreover, Liu Laosan also considered that the time was too long, and the Lianghu official army would send reinforcements.

So, with a greeting, four hundred bandits rushed up to the officers and soldiers with a howl of wolves.

The number of officers and soldiers was at a disadvantage, but the training was still effective.

Their retreat was not a swarm of swarms that turned and ran.

Instead, they retreated in turns, not forgetting to block the enemy with rounds of bows and arrows.

The time of a pillar of incense passed, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers were not large, more than a dozen.

Liu Laosan was already faintly alert in his heart, because the bandits had already crossed the farmland and rushed into the village.

And the retreat of the officers and troops was so orderly that it did not seem to be defeated at all.

As a result, Liu Laosan suddenly stopped and loudly ordered to retreat.

But at this time, the bandits are blazing, how can they stop if they stop?

The bandits on Liu Laosan's side did stop, and the few masters who had rushed to the head couldn't even see their backs.

Looking at the dozens of people around him left and right, Liu Laosan was stunned for a long time, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the village with a greeting.

This is definitely not righteous anger.

Liu Laosan knew very well in his heart that the reason why the official army did not attack was nothing more than two reasons, one was the natural danger of the mountain pass, and the other was the large number of people in the village.

No matter how good the terrain is, if there is no one to defend it, it will not survive.

Even if the official army does not attack, the rest of the bandits in Pinggang Mountain will come up and bite mercilessly.

In other words, this battle cannot be lost, nor can there be big losses, otherwise, there will be only one result - destruction.

Liu Laosan had to make a desperate decision.

People die and birds face the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years, fight!

But as the saying goes, good is not good, bad is not good.

At the moment when Liu Laosan led dozens of people to rush into the village, Liu Laosan's worst fear happened.

The sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by the trembling of the earth.

After Liu Laosan was frightened, he roared wildly, "Cavalry...... Officers and cavalry ...... ! ”

The nearby bandits who heard Liu Laosan's shouting looked at Liu Laosan in a daze.

The bandits in the distance were still chasing the retreating officers and soldiers.

The cavalry that rushed into the village quickly divided into two routes, left and right, and surrounded the entire village.
