"Black Turban Thief...... Is that the black scarf thief in Kunyang?'

In the eastern suburbs of Kunyang, the rebel general Xu Bao looked at the guards on the city wall in the distance, his head wrapped in black scarves, and he was both surprised and surprised.

About an hour ago, when he ordered the storming of the eastern city wall, he suddenly received a message sent by Liu De: In view of Kunyang's intention to throw all the 3,000 Nanyang troops into the southern city wall, I have to slow down the offensive and strive to consume this elite for the coming day.

Xu Bao and Liu De have known each other for many years, and they have had excellent cooperation in Zhaoling County before, so he immediately guessed Liu De's plan.

He thought to himself at the time: Since Liu De was forced to slow down the offensive and try to consume the Nanyang army defending the city, I should step up the attack.

He did not want to fight Liu De, but deliberately stepped up to defeat the defenders opposite him, that is, those local county troops with the banner of Kunyang City.

Is Kunyang's county army strong?

In Xu Bao's opinion, that's the case, just look at the scene of the other side being in a hurry when he launched the first wave of offensive, obviously it is not much stronger, even if it is convenient for the city wall, at best, it is just a five-five kill with his corporaries.

However, just as he stepped up the pressure on the city wall, trying to kill as many soldiers on the opposite side as he could before Kunyang County sent reinforcements, a group of soldiers with black scarves on the opposite side suddenly climbed the city wall.

This group of people...... How so? Yes, there is no discipline, but it is really tough.

According to the report sent by his subordinate general, it was a fierce defender, and compared with the soft-looking Kunyang County Army, it was simply the difference between a wolf and a sheep.

However, Xu Bao didn't care at first, even if he had already recognized those guards with black scarves on their heads at that time, they were the Kunyang black scarf thieves who made his colleague Huang Kang suffer a big loss, after all, in his opinion, those black scarf thieves were only a few hundred, how could they stop the 10,000 soldiers under his command? As long as he paid three times as many casualties, it would be enough for those hundreds to be called a corpse.

It is undeniable that his idea was right, but what he didn't expect was that the hundreds of black turban thieves drove the morale of the group of county soldiers who were also on the city wall, so that the group of Kunyang County soldiers who looked soft and soft gradually adapted to the fight and quickly transformed into old soldiers.

This...... That's a bit of a hassle.

Sure enough, after a fierce battle for a morning, to be exact, two hours of fierce fighting, Xu Bao, who was full of confidence at first, gradually found that the defense on the opposite wall was getting tighter and tighter, and the soldiers under his command gradually couldn't touch the edge of the city wall......

"Pass my orders, temporarily truce, and regroup."

Glancing at the sun already above his head, Xu Bao ordered the soldiers in front of him to retreat temporarily and retreat a mile or two for co-ordination.

Under his orders, the rebel soldiers outside the city quickly withdrew like a receding tide, and even the intact ladders were taken away, leaving only some of the ladders that had been doused with fire oil and were still burning, and the corpses that were strewn all over the ground under the city walls.

"Retreat! The rebels retreated! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

There was a burst of cheers on the city wall of Kunyang, not only did the county army raise their hands and cheer excitedly, but even the black tiger thieves joined in.

But Ishihara understood that the rebels were only temporarily retreating and regaining their strength.

He found his former companion Xu Bai and said to the latter: "The rebels are only temporarily retreating and regrouping, let's hurry up and let the people below rest." ”

Xu Bai's talent is no less than that of Ishihara, and he nodded and said, "I have just reminded Commander Zuo and asked him to contact the Brotherhood and ask them to send someone to bring water and rice as soon as possible to satisfy the brothers' hunger." ”

The reason why he mentioned the Brotherhood was because the Brotherhood, which was mainly in charge of Chen Cai, was now responsible for the logistics of the county's guards, such as boiling water, cooking, carrying the wounded, maintaining law and order in the city, etc., and now the Brotherhood was in charge.

Ishihara nodded, and unconsciously turned his head to glance at Wang Qing, who seemed to be giving orders in the distance.

The first time, he was not fighting under the leadership of the county lieutenant Ma Gai, but under the leader of the black tiger thieves named Wang Qing, which made him really uncomfortable.

However, he must admit that Wang Qing is indeed very fierce, and the fierce momentum of that guy who will fight for himself once he kills the red eye has greatly encouraged the county army on the city wall.

"Yo."

Not far away, Chen Gui walked towards this side and said hello to Ishihara and Xu Bai.

Ishihara nodded, and immediately asked Chen Gui, "Ah Gui, have you counted the casualties over there?" ”

"Nope."

Chen Gui sat down next to Shi Yuan and Xu Bai, leaned against the inside of the city wall, and said with a lazy and tired look: "What's the hurry? Let me take a breath first. ”

Probably because they finally got a chance to catch their breath, Ishihara and Xu Bai also sat down cross-legged.

If in the past, it was not easy for the three of them to be free, so they would naturally chat a few words immediately, but now, the first thing Xu Bai did after sitting down was to touch the cloth bag in his arms, and immediately the little wife in the cottage who had changed her name to call him husband came to mind.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told them about it yet......

Xu Bai glanced at Chen Gui, who was sitting on the inside of the city wall with his hands resting on his headrest, and Shi Yuan, who was bowing his head and wiping the sword body with a cloth, wondering how to mention this matter.

Unexpectedly, Ishihara was the first to speak: "Recently...... What do you think? ”

"Oh, it's okay."

Xu Bai pondered in his heart, and said indifferently: "The village still values me more, a few days ago, Boss Liu Tu told me in private, saying that my wolf brigade will expand in the future, and ask me to work harder with Wang Ping to get a 'Du Bai' ......"

Hearing this, Chen Gui, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and asked curiously, "What is that?" ”

"It's Dubber." Xu Bai explained succinctly.

"Oh." Chen Gui nodded abruptly and said with a smile: "I heard that Zhou Hu has made some positions over there, and it is said that he is quite similar to a housekeeper...... What is that Dobber? ”

"Benme." Xu Bai shrugged and said: "It's equivalent to a small leader, the Liu Tu and Le Gui you know are in this gear for the time being, and Chen Cai was originally also in this gear, but recently, I heard that it seems to be promoted to a big Benmu...... That is, the big boss. ”

"Hahaha."

Chen Gui suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Didn't the black tiger thief call himself 'the evil people in the mountains', how could he follow the example of the official family to get these official positions?" ”

At this time, several black tiger thieves happened to pass by, and when they heard Chen Gui's words, they stopped and glared at them unhappily.

Seeing this, Chen Gui spread his hands and said, "Don't, brother, I have no malice in what I said." ”

Xu Bai also knew that his companion had always been open-mouthed, so he shook his head secretly, waved his hand and said to the black tiger thieves: "It's okay, he has no malicious intentions, go ahead." ”

The black tiger thieves obviously recognized Xu Bai, hugged their fists at the latter, and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Chen Gui smiled and said, "Good girl, it's amazing...... Anyway, if you can mix up the big Benme over there, that's even greater. ”

"It's that simple." Xu Bai said with a wry smile.

From the side, Ishihara listened to the conversation between Xu Bai and Chen Gui, and did not interject, because he didn't know how to evaluate the fact that Xu Bai and Wang Ping were reused on the side of the black tiger thief, and he could only say that there were pros and cons to each.

Seeing that Xu Bai glanced at himself meaningfully, Ishihara looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so Xu Bai said sincerely: "No matter where you are, I am happy for you, brother." ”

“……”

Xu Bai was stunned, and then a slight smile appeared on his face.

A few moments later, members of the Brotherhood came to the city wall carrying baskets and buckets of water, and beckoned the guards on the wall to eat.

When they learned that the only food to satisfy their hunger was rice balls wrapped in salt, the county officials didn't feel anything, but the black tiger thieves complained.

"Why is there only salt rice balls?"

"Don't even have a mouthful of broth?"

Under the complaints of these masters, an officer of the fraternity wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and promised: "In the evening, there must be meat soup at night, and this meal at noon should be particular, it is really understaffed......"

The Black Tiger Thieves all knew that the Brotherhood was also 'their own people', and although they were reluctant, and even scolded, they finally honestly took the fist-sized solid rice balls and found a place to nibble on them.

Ishihara, Chen Gui, and Xu Bai also went to get one each.

In order to ignore the unpalatable taste, Ishihara, Chen Gui, and Xu Bai continued to chat.

During this period, Chen Gui asked Xu Baidao: "Over there in Black Tiger Village, I heard that many women have been accepted recently, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Bai nodded: "There are almost a thousand people." ”

Chen Gui smiled, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the black tiger thief is uneasy and kind to accept those women, have you been assigned a 'mother-in-law'......?"

I have to say that the mother-in-law's matter can't be hidden at all, after all, the black tiger thieves used this as a slogan that day, so Ishihara and Chen Gui naturally knew about it.

"This ......" Xu Bai, who was asked, showed embarrassment.

"Hey, really?"

Chen Gui, who was originally just joking, was stunned and looked at Xu Bai with wide eyes.

Under his gaze, Xu Bai embarrassedly said the reason: "There is...... Yes, it was arranged in the village, although I was asked in advance...... In the end, I was arranged for a little girl named Tian Qing, who was quite capable......"

"Little, girl, head?" Chen Gui looked strange and asked word by word.

"Ahh Xu Bai stretched out his hand and scratched his head, avoiding the strange gazes of the two companions: "It seems to be ...... Fifteen years old......"

“……”

Ishihara turned his head to look at Xu Bai, his expression was wooden, and he was gnawing on the rice balls one by one, while Chen Gui looked incredulous, pointed at Xu Bai with his mouth wide open, and said in a strange tone: "You...... You're the right dad for you......"

"What?"

Xu Bai was a little unhappy when he heard this, although his age was indeed about to catch up with the father of his newlywed little wife in the family.

He said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't force it, it was arranged by the cottage, and she was willing, and she called me Brother Xu when we met......"

As he spoke, he subconsciously brushed his somewhat messy hair, secretly thinking that he should still look quite young.

Obviously, Chen Gui didn't care about Xu Bai's thoughts, and said with great interest: "Quick, talk about it quickly." ”

From the side, although Ishihara was eating rice balls with an expressionless face, from the actions he turned his head to look at Xu Bai from time to time, it was not difficult to guess that he was also very curious about this matter.

Seeing that the two companions cared so much, Xu Bai explained briefly, and by the way, briefly described the appearance of his newlywed little wife, praising her for her young age, but she was very capable and kept the house in order.

“……”

Chen Gui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his mouth opened in disbelief.

After half a ring, he suddenly grabbed Xu Bai's shoulder, and asked with an unusually serious face: "It seems that for the sake of knowing each other for many years, you can help me ask, are there still people over there?" …… I can tie a black scarf at any time. ”

Ishihara rolled his eyes angrily.

He turned his head and asked Xu Baidao, "What about Wang Ping?" It has to be cheaper, too? ”

Xu Bai was trying to get rid of Chen Gui's entanglement, and when he heard this, he said: "Ah, she is also a very good-looking little girl, and she also mentions that she can do things, but she is a little timid...... Chen Gui, you guy, let go, let go, give me a distance. ”

"Oh."

Ishihara was silent, and munched on the rice ball in his hand.

He was not envious at all......

It's true.
