The news that Qin Chuan led 600 people out of Ningwu Pass quickly spread throughout Jingle Lan County, and so, on the seventh day, Lou Fu ushered in a wave of guests.

The courage of the Hu family in the East Village was to fight with Qin Chuan, and after learning that the surnamed Qin had taken 600 people away, he intuitively thought that this was an opportunity.

As a result, Gu Dingtian united the Feng family in Chijianling and the Qian family in Puming Village in just two days, and the three families joined forces with a total of 1,200 people to attack Lou Fu in the south.

The Zhang family, the Chen family, and the Ma family also symbolically participated, each sending seventy or eighty people over, making up enough for 1,500 people, and also sent a few clansmen to accompany the command.

After Gu Dingtian, Feng Yilong and Qian Duojin, the concubine of the Qian family, got together, they quickly set a method, and a few people led 1,500 people and horses, set off at dusk, and were discovered by the spies of the Guan Emperor's army in the Budou Gorge, ten miles north of Jingyou.

Huang Liuxi was woken up in his sleep, as soon as he heard that the other party was coming with more than 1,000 people, he did not hesitate to order a retreat, the 300 Wudang battalion immediately withdrew to Mengjiazhuang, and quickly sent someone back to Mengjiazhuang to report the news, and then go to the Hongli Mountain mine, let the miners there avoid it first, and ignore the pig iron and coke in the mine, if you can bring some wrought iron.

Today's Jingyou Town is an empty city, and the things that can be moved in the houses have long been annoyed by the villagers who have moved to Lou, and the crops in the fields have not begun to grow in winter, and they are bare everywhere, and there is no loss to the other party.

The allied forces of Hu, Feng, and Qian demolished several houses in Jingyou Town, took some wood to make big shields and hit wood, and then continued to rush towards Lou Fu with great momentum.

Wang Jizong was also woken up in his sleep, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and hurried to the gatehouse after explaining that his wife took care of Miss Wen.

On the gatehouse, Luo Ba looked at the north like a sculpture, and the indifferent eagle eyes seemed to be about to cut through the night, so that the incoming enemy had nothing to hide.

Thousands of villagers carrying pots and pans, bedding and belongings, poured into Mengjiazhuang like a tide under the leadership of Emperor Guan.

"Lao Luo, how do you keep it?"

Wang Jizong didn't know how to fight, and he didn't think about pretending to understand, so he asked Luo Ba directly.

Luo Ba turned his head and nodded politely at him, then pointed to Lou Fu Town, where the houses and underground nests were mixed outside, and said: "Can't defend it, the six hundred defenders of Mengjiazhuang and thousands of villagers can resist at least three thousand people, and the enemy will not be stupid enough to attack Mengjiazhuang with 1,500 people, it will be simply sent to death." ”

"They are just attacking the east and west, and they want us to all shrink into Mengjiazhuang, so that they can burn Lou Fu, burn down the gunpowder factory three miles away, and then tear down the embankment of the Xitougou Reservoir."

Wang Jizong was taken aback.

That's right, if all the houses and nests of Lou Nu were burned down, and even the embankment of the Xitougou Reservoir was demolished, the efforts of thousands of villagers in Lou Nu for more than a month would be in vain.

Luo Ba said again: "The big boss once explained to me before leaving, all the big families around here are ruthless and unscrupulous people, they will not sit idly by and watch Lou Fu grow, and they will definitely come to sabotage, especially pay attention to the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and attack the west." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jizong knew that Luo Ba had a countermeasure, so he often breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "If you want to talk about human spirits, the big families around here are far from being as good as the big stewards." ”

Luo Bashen nodded approvingly: "The big boss has an explanation, we have few troops, and there are a few places to defend, neither can we fight hard with others, nor can we avoid the enemy without fighting, we can only gradually weaken the other party with skill, change the advantages and disadvantages of the forces of both sides, and then turn it around, and then defeat the water dogs with one blow." ”

"Mr. Wang, Mengjiazhuang will be handed over to you, the three masters should be back soon, I have to lead the troops out, and I will meet those ruthless people for a while."

"Okay, Lao Luo, don't worry, with me, Mengjiazhuang will never be fine."

Luo Ba didn't say anything more, only hung the bow and arrow in his hand back on his back, and then kicked downstairs.

After all the villagers entered Mengjiazhuang, Luo Babian and Huang Liuxi led a mixed group of 500 people from the Wudang Camp and the Shifang Battalion, all holding wooden shields and carrying a few or even a dozen javelins on their backs, and walked out of the village.

There are still enough 500 war horses in Zhuangzi, but now the sky is not yet bright, and the black-lit horse battle is very easy to cause chaos, and it will be scattered if you are not careful, so Luo Ba does not go out of the village with cavalry, but only meets with infantry.

When Dahu's coalition army entered the Loufu realm, Luo Daniu also returned, and he hid in the area on the west bank of the Fen River in the dark night, waiting for Luo Ba's signal.

All the people who suffered from chicken blindness in the Guan Emperor Army had received preferential treatment, and after eating their livers for nearly a month, most of them had more or less improved their blindness, and now they marched without lighting torches in the dark night, and they would not panic.

The coalition sentinels soon spotted the team, led by Luo Ba, walking along the hillside in the dark.

After receiving the report, Feng Yilong had the idea of retreating.

The other party did not shrink into Mengjiazhuang, obviously seeing through their plan.

Although his own troops were more than the other party, he didn't want the Feng family's disciples to fight hard with the other party and waste their troops needlessly.

But Gu Dingtian looked eager to try, and immediately waved his troops and rushed forward, wanting to take the opportunity to eat the infantry of five hundred people.

Feng Yilong hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say that he wanted to retreat, he just followed, and tried the combat strength of the five hundred people.

When I got closer, I saw that the five hundred men on the other side did not attack, but only set up a gentle slope and erected a strong shield, as if they were going to defend the gentle slope.

But there was nothing on the gentle slope.

Gu Dingtian laughed, and immediately commanded the coalition forces to surround the gentle slope, which was about to eat the five hundred people.

But Feng Yilong was faintly a little jealous, he knew that Mengjiazhuang still had an army in Tieshigou Mountain, led by Luo Daniu, the third leader surnamed Qin, and his combat power was second to none in Emperor Guan's army.

Of course, Gu Dingtian knew about Luo Da Niu's existence, and he also saw Feng Yilong's fear, even if he was happy to let his three hundred men and horses beware of Luo Da Niu's surprise attack.

Then, Gu Dingtian led the rest of the 1,200 allied troops to kill the gentle slope.

Entering a hundred paces, the five hundred people above condescendingly shot down fifty or sixty arrows, and the coalition forces below also gave a counterattack, but the range from the bottom to the top was far inferior to the other party, so they advanced to seventy paces, but the opponent's wooden shield was densely erected, and few arrows could shoot in, only a few screams, and the coalition army was shot down twenty or thirty people.

Gu Dingtian let the infantry attack from the bottom up, and he himself led two hundred cavalry to attack from the flank of the gentle slope.

Fifty paces, a bow and arrow to cover, then speed up the charge and rush through.

However, before he could release the second wave of arrows, he saw that the opponent's shield array suddenly dispersed, and the five hundred people ignored the bows and arrows under the hillside, and only threw a wave of things at him in unison.

"No, it's a javelin!"

Gu Dingtian had never fought head-on with Emperor Guan's army, but his people had suffered from javelins on the banks of the Longquan River, and now when they saw the other party's posture, they knew that it was a javelin.

He subconsciously raised his shield, and he felt a sudden shock in his hand, and a javelin pierced the shield, piercing the shield alive, revealing a sharp spear head several inches long.

Almost at the same time, a scream rang out all around.

When Gu Dingtian rushed to the other party's distance of more than ten steps, the other party had already thrown two rounds of javelins, and he found that there were less than fifty of the two hundred horsemen left around him.

The other party also suffered a lot, gave up the shield protection, and chose to throw javelins at his two hundred cavalry, at least thirty or forty people were shot by bows and arrows, and the formation was instantly chaotic, and many people hurriedly hid behind the shields, but many people still continued to throw javelins at him.

Gu Dingtian knew that something was wrong, so he didn't hesitate to pull the reins of the horse, turn the horse's head, see how to avoid a sharp javelin, and rush down the hillside regardless of it.

Of his two hundred horsemen, less than twenty survived.

At this moment, the roar of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the east, and a cavalry was galloping towards him.

The coalition forces, who had already climbed halfway up the slope, stopped one after another and looked in horror in the direction where the roar was emanating.

Gu Dingtian was frightened and forgot to command, the coalition forces in Banpo didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a while, and the five hundred people led by Luo Ba on the gentle slope also got a chance to breathe, and they turned their shields, adjusted their formations, and kept throwing javelins down with the help of the cover of the shield.

Feng Yilong's face was solemn, and he hurriedly let his three hundred people dismount, erect their shields, and set up their spears.

It was the three hundred horsemen led by Luo Da Niu who came, and they did not charge directly, but began to throw javelins vigorously fifty paces away, and made a semicircle, turned around, and left.

The javelin shape of the Guan Emperor Army, the infantry can exceed thirty steps with one throw, the cavalry can reach more than forty steps with the help of horse speed, and there are very few fifty steps.

The reason why Luo Da Niu threw the javelin at fifty steps was because he didn't want to go head-to-head with the opponent's bow and arrow, so as to minimize his own casualties.

The coalition forces, who had climbed halfway up the slope, were forced back by javelins after leaving behind a hundred corpses.

Gu Dingtian came back to his senses, his eyes were red, and he brandished his knife to ask the coalition forces to continue the attack.

"Master Gu, forget it, if you continue to fight, it will only be a lose-lose situation, and no one will be able to benefit." Feng Yilong said in due course.

"Forget it? How can it be counted? Gu Dingtian's expression was a little crazy, "They are only a few hundred people, and they can be destroyed as soon as they rush up......"

"Master Gu, that's not to destroy the other party, but to die with the other party." Feng Yilong interrupted him unceremoniously, "If you don't spare your life, then let it be as you please, Feng Mou These are brothers who are related by blood, born and died, and they are very sorry for their lives, please forgive Feng for not accompanying him." ”

As he spoke, Feng Yilong shouted, and his three hundred men slowly retreated, and after seeing that Luo Daniu's cavalry had not yet come around, they got on their horses one after another, followed Feng Yilong, and returned the same way.

Gu Dingtian's face was ugly, pointing at Feng Yilong's back, but he couldn't say a word.

"Forget it, Master Gu, let's withdraw too." A member of the Zhang family also said.

Gu Dingtian looked at the corpses and wailing wounded soldiers on the slope, and stomped his feet with hatred.

"Withdraw."
