Zhang Rui's words not only made the team members retreat, but aroused their blood.

Guangxi is a place where poor mountains and bad waters have come out of "Diao people" since ancient times. Due to the constant competition for water sources for irrigation, fights and brawls are commonplace. Everyone in the village has to unite in the face of the provocations of other villages, and the villagers of the same clan and surname are even more unusually united.

Bandits generally encounter more than 1,000 people of the same clan and surname in large villages, either by detouring or simply taking some of the things they want, not daring too much, only by bullying some small villages is to do whatever they want.

During the anti-Japanese period, the Guangxi army was afraid of the Japanese soldiers. The same was true during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolted in Guangxi and swept most of the Qing Dynasty with 20,000 Guangxi troops. If it weren't for the rapid decay of the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, coupled with the sudden rise of the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, it would be impossible to say that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would have changed the country.

Therefore, throughout the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty corrupted the Tusi of Guangxi and provoked infighting between them to facilitate management. In their opinion, as long as the toasts are not united, it will be fine.

At this time, someone in the team hummed the song of the three disciplines and eight points of attention that they had just familiarized.

One belt two, two belt three, and even some onlookers who were not afraid of things also sang. In particular, when he sang "Defend the village forever forward, the people of the whole country support and love" is extremely loud.

"The brothers are all bloody men, and I, Zhang Rui, don't say anything that hurts everyone's dignity." Zhang Rui said to everyone with a salute

"After this wave of bandits, let's drink wine and eat meat together!"

"Good...... Drink wine and eat meat together,"

A neat voice rang out

"Now divide the weapons, because the current weapons are limited, they can only be taken first and served, but if you take the weapons, you have to stand in front and rush. Which one is willing to come up and get it? ”

"I..." Li Mutou didn't say a word, he went to Zhang Rui's side and picked up a steel knife and a shield.

"And me..."Liu Shishi felt as if he had suffered a loss, and also followed and took a steel knife

"Me too!" Li Sigou, the young man who ignored his father's obstruction and insisted on participating in the assessment and finally passed the assessment, also followed closely and took a spear.

The people behind followed one after another. Sixteen steel knives, twelve shields, and sixteen spears were divided in less than a moment. However, there is still a large shortage of weapons.

Zhang Rui had to borrow some farm tools such as woodcutters, forks and even hoes from the villagers. In the end, a dozen or so people had no choice but to carry sticks and even stones.

Many villagers heard that Zhang Rui was going to fight with the bandits, and said that they would leave a farm tool with Zhang Rui, but Zhang Rui couldn't persuade him.

The villagers are enthusiastic and fond of Zhang Rui. Especially when the rumors of the gods came out. Of course, this Zhang Rui is unknown.

The villagers are willing to help Zhang Rui, not only because of the three disciplines and eight points of attention that they sing. In their opinion, Zhang Rui is just to help people like himself and help the poor people who have been hurt by bandits. Besides, many of the bandits in this bandit team are relatives who are related to their own relatives, aren't they?

More than half an hour passed.

At this time, Cheng Long also returned to Zhang Rui's side and told him. The bandits stopped to rest and eat after a little Muling, but it didn't seem to stay long, so let Zhang Rui get ready as soon as possible.

"Do you know how many bandits there are?" Zhang Rui asked Cheng Long

Cheng Long was suddenly a little embarrassed, drew his feet on the ground twice and said, "I'm sorry, sixth brother, I don't know how to count, just look at how many of them have a large number of people, I really don't know most of them." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rui felt a little speechless. What is this, it's terrible not to be illiterate, it seems that in the future, if possible, they must be taught simple arithmetic and writing.

Zhang Rui patted Cheng Long on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you for this, I will ask Mr. to teach you to read and write again when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Listening to Zhang Rui's words, Cheng Long couldn't help but be moved: "Thank you, Sixth Brother, I will definitely work hard to learn to count when the time comes." ”

In addition to Zhang Rui's anti-bandit team, there were nearly 500 villagers who came to help, and almost all the men who could fight in some villages came. Looking at this huge crowd, if it weren't for the guys in their hands, I don't know where I thought I was going to go out to catch the market.

Things exceeded Zhang Rui's expectations, so Zhang Rui couldn't help but sigh: "This is not the same as imagined!" ”

There are too many people who are untrained. If more than 100 bandits come, they will not suffer losses, and they will not be defeated and retreat at that time, and the losses will be great. In a fight, it is better for the young man with strong blood to go first.

So, Zhang Rui set up a place called Guotou Mountain a mile outside the village. There are two good points in this place, one is that the terrain is good, there is a road between the two mountains, and there is a relatively large open space when entering the valley, which is convenient for the development of people. As long as the road in front and back is blocked here, the bandits have nowhere to go. Second, the plants are relatively dense and easy to Tibetan.

Zhang Rui commanded Liu Shishi, Li Mutou, Li Sigou and others to take the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth teams of sixty bandit members and a hundred younger villagers to ambush at the entrance of the front valley, and wait for the bandits to completely enter the valley to encircle.

Zhang Rui waited for them at the intersection of the village with the remaining fifty bandits, and behind Zhang Rui there were also a hundred younger villagers.

The rest of the villagers, Zhang Rui asked them to disperse on the mountainside on both sides of the road, and when they faced the bandits, they were shouting and cheering, and if any bandits dared to go up the mountain, they could go together to kill them.

Everything is arranged, and now it's just a matter of waiting for the bandits to quietly get in.

About a quarter of an hour

Chen Deyun and Hong Hu appeared in front of Zhang Rui's eyes, and they saw Zhang Rui waiting for them here, and they instantly felt much more relieved.

"Sixth brother..."

…

"Sorry, two. How long or so will it take for the bandits to arrive? Zhang Rui said to the two

"It's not hard. These are commonplace things. The two of us came back almost not far from the bandits. Judging by our footsteps and the footsteps of bandits. It should be a stick of incense or so that the bandits will come here. ”

"Do you know how many bandits there are?" Zhang Rui asked again without giving up

"Well, the two of us won't count this..."I saw Chen Deyun look at Honghu, and both of them were a little embarrassed

……

"Then you see if there are more of us here?" Zhang Rui had no choice but to ask another question.

Chen Deyun and Hong Hu looked at the people behind Zhang Rui, the two thought about it, and then confirmed each other and said, "There are not so many people, but there are not many of them." ”

Zhang Rui listened, "What's going on?" Not more than a hundred? ”

With doubts, two bandits began to appear in front of them. Both sides were stunned for a moment, but soon the bandits gathered not far from Zhang Rui.

The two sides looked at each other.

Sure enough, it was a robbery, and this training quality is still there.

At this time, the guy with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek on his face among the bandits said to a man who was nearly one meter eight tall and had a body that was in the same condition: "Five masters, didn't you say that there was only one person in that dog?" How can there be so many people, this is different from what I imagined. ”

"It's different from what I imagined," Li Ba, the fifth master, said: "It is estimated that they robbed the sixth child's silver, and temporarily used money to hire this group of mud legs, you can see what they are taking, in addition to a few knives snatched from the sixth child, there are also guns that I don't know where to find them." ”

"Yes! You see, it's all some forks and some hoes. The lewd bandit said

"Wait, what's that? Stick? There are also those who have a stone in their hand. Is this what looks down on us? ”

I saw that he looked at the weapons held by the bandit team members behind Zhang Rui as if they had discovered a new continent, and he looked ridiculous and angry.

"They don't look down on us, they want to die, if they are afraid of such a group of mud legs, we don't want to even have a mountain face." The five masters said with disdain

Then he turned around and prepared to mobilize and speak, which was nothing more than killing them to rob money and women, and then drinking wine and eating meat.

Zhang Rui looked at the bandits. There were about thirty-three, and twenty of them looked like newcomers. So, he said what he said for the second time today: "This is different from what I imagined!" ”
