After three days of simple drills, the county soldiers, family soldiers and village warriors from all sides have become roughly familiar with the battle array drill.

Supplies such as grain, grass, weapons, and arrows have also been prepared.

That night, everyone gathered in Lü Bu's Chinese army tent to formulate a plan of action for the next day.

Lu Bu looked at everyone present with his eyes.

On the left hand side are Zhen Yao, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and on the right hand side are Tian Feng, Qu Chang Ma Qiang, the leader of the Zhongshan County Soldiers, and Qu Chang Liu Wu, the leader of the Hejian County Soldiers.

Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone, tomorrow we will go to Tiger Leaping Mountain to exterminate the Five Tiger Village horse bandits." Next, I would like to ask Mr. Tian to tell you about the battle plan. ”

Tiger Leaping Mountain is named because of the dangerous mountain situation, there are three peaks in total, the mountain between each peak is steep, and the birds are sad, so it is called Tiger Leaping Mountain.

Tian Feng got up and walked to the map, and said while pointing to the map: "According to Wang Gui, the five masters of the Five Tiger Villages, who captured the Five Tiger Villages, the Five Tiger Villages are located halfway up the middle of the mountain, and there is only one road that can accommodate cars and horses to go parallel to the mountain. Due to the long operation of the horse bandits, the entire Five Tiger Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to forcibly attack the village, the loss is huge. However, according to local farmers, there is a small road in the back mountain, which is commonly used by medicine pickers, and the mountain road is rugged and can only be passed by a single horse. Therefore, in the next advice, Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang, the main force from the front feint, a few small defeats after a few lure thieves to attack, and then an elite soldier from the back of the mountain up the mountain, from top to bottom sneak attack the five tiger village, so the thief lair was suppressed, the thief must be panicked, the front force and the raid force before and after echoing the two phases, the thief will be defeated! After speaking, Tian Feng signaled to Lu Bu and sat down.

Lu Bu stood up and said, "Everyone, do you have any doubts about what Mr. Tian said? ”

After seeing everyone shaking their heads, Lu Brown said: "Ma Qiang, Liu Wu, two generals, please lead the two of you to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to cooperate with Mr. Tian to feint the cottage from the front, and hand over the command to Mr. Tian." Zhang He, you lead 500 villagers to follow the two generals Ma and Liu, and your troops don't have to participate in the war, just do solidarity. You have a great responsibility, be sure to lure the thieves out of the cottage, and when you see the cottage on fire, the whole army will charge! ”

Tian Feng and the other four got up and said, "The last general (below) will receive the order!" ”

Lu Bu turned his head to Zhen Yao and said, "Brother Zhen, please lead your family soldiers to ambush in front of the cottage, and when the three of them counterattack the horse bandits, they will assault the thieves in the middle." ”

Zhen Yao also replied loudly: "I will receive the order below." ”

Lu Bu finally said to Zhao Yun, who was eager to try: "Zhao Yun listened to the order and ordered you to follow me to lead two hundred elite horsemen from the back mountain to raid the cottage!" ”

Hearing that he had been assigned the task of the main attack, Zhao Yun's excited Jun face turned red, and he replied excitedly: "I will receive the order!" ”

Lu Bu said loudly: "Okay, then, let's set off early tomorrow morning, take a temporary rest after arriving at Tiger Leaping Mountain, and start attacking early the day after tomorrow!" I hope everyone will work together to win! ”

Everyone replied in unison, "Yes, my lord!" ”

A team of nearly 2,000 people rode along the road to Tiger Leaping Mountain.

Lu Bu couldn't help but be proud when he looked at the team.

Once upon a time, growing up in peacetime, I also fantasized about being able to scold Fang Xuan and command the army to charge, but at that time, I could only watch novels or TV fantasies.

I never thought that by chance, I would really have such a day.

Being able to command hundreds of armies to storm a city is like a dream.

However, he did not have the slightest timidity or fear, and his heart was full of excitement and excitement, as if he was born for this battlefield.

His childhood dream was finally able to come true, which made Lu Bu excited.

At the same time, I also made up my mind that since I have come to this era of blood boiling, let myself burn all the passion in my life in this era.

There are a total of five leaders in the Five Tiger Village, namely the eldest Li Lin, the second Deng Cong, the third Lu Tie, the fourth Wang Kui, and the fifth Wang Gui.

These five people were originally ruffians in the same village, but later started to trade without capital, and gradually formed gangs, and later developed into horse bandits, rampant in Zhongshan and Hejian counties.

In recent years, with the decay of the imperial government, the army has lacked discipline, and there are no officials who are serious about suppressing bandits.

Even if they came to suppress the bandits, they mostly made meritorious achievements and went through the motions, so after evading several encirclement and suppression, they became more and more rampant.

Two years ago, a group of Hedong people came here, saying that they wanted to give a big deal to the cottage.

It turned out to be the Hedongwei family, who wanted to unite with Wuhuzhai to rob the caravan of the Zhen family in Zhongshan.

These five tiger villages have robbed past caravans all year round, and they have always been greedy for the wealthy Zhen family.

But the other party has an official background, and every time the business journey is very secretive, in the past, you can only try your luck, and occasionally rob once or twice, but it may not be successful.

Now that the Wei family is on the county side and provides some information, all the Wuhu Village needs to do is to sell the looted Zhen family's property to the Wei family at a low price.

Dengshi made the strength of the Five Tiger Village stronger and stronger, and now not only the cottage is operated like an iron wall, but at the same time, most of the horse bandits of more than 2,000 people are equipped with weapons and equipment, and even have more than 1,000 war horses.

But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river a lot, there will always be a time when you get your shoes wet.

Some time ago, the Wei family sent another piece of information that a caravan of the Zhen family was about to arrive in Changshan County, and the five masters of the Five Tiger Village thought that it was an ordinary piece of big fat meat as usual.

Wang Gui, the fifth master, took more than 200 horse bandits along the road to coerce some homeless people and went to rob them.

Unexpectedly, the horse bandits who fled back a few days later said that the robbery had failed, and Wang Gui, who led the team, was also arrested by a man named Lu Bu.

This annoyed everyone in Wuhu Village, and they were about to kill Changshan to save people, especially Wang Gui's own brother Wang Kui, who was the most vocal.

However, the commotion of the crowd was stopped by Li Lin, who was able to develop a group of ruffians to this extent, and Li Lin relied on caution.

From this incident, he smelled something unusual.

While calming the crowd and agitating everyone, he arranged for someone to inquire about the information, and finally heard that the Zhen family was coming to suppress the bandits with great fanfare.

At the same time, he also heard from the Wei family that the county governments of Zhongshan and Hejian also sent county soldiers to suppress the bandits, and it was said that Lu Bu was quite big, which immediately made Li Lin nervous.

He felt that this time the officers and soldiers would come differently, so while Lu Bu and the others were actively preparing, he also ordered all the horse bandits to return to the cottage and not to go out.

Early this morning, the officers and soldiers came to the front of the Five Tigers Village, probably because they saw that the gate of the village was heavily defended, and the officers and soldiers did not attack directly, but began to scold the war.

This makes the usually arrogant and domineering horse bandits how to stand it.

So many big and small leaders came to the council hall to ask Li Lin for orders to fight, in their opinion, the officers and soldiers are all the same, and the fierce ones who are calling now will be defeated once they go out.

At this moment, the chaos in the meeting hall of Wuhuzhai was like a vegetable market, but the moment Li Lin stepped in from the back door, everyone stopped at the same time, and it only took a blink of an eye to go from noise to silence.

Li Lin squinted his triangular eyes and said coldly: "What are you yelling about?" All of them are enduring, right? Now I'm here, who was shouting just now, now stand up and let me see! ”

All the big and small bosses bowed their heads deeply, they had seen too much of Li Lin's methods, and no one dared to be the first bird at this moment, and they couldn't find it comfortable.

Li Lin directly named and said, "Second brother, what happened just now, you tell me." ”

Deng Cong was a burly man, and said angrily: "Big brother, after the officers and soldiers over there came to the front of the village, they did not attack the gate of the village, but stayed outside to scold the war, and the brothers were angry, so I wanted to ask the eldest brother to allow us to rush out and kill the arrogance of those court legs." ”

After hearing this, Li Lin nodded and said: "Well, it's time to clean up and clean them up, these soldiers, if they don't teach them a lesson for a few years, their skin will itch again, and they have to let our brothers loosen their muscles and bones." ”

When everyone heard Li Lin joking, they all sighed at the same time. Wang Kui said loudly: "Big brother, the younger brother is willing to take the lead and capture a few officials to exchange the fifth brother back." ”

Li Lin said: "Fourth, don't worry, the fifth child not only wants to get it back, but also wants to get back all the sins he suffered, including all the profits he suffered." In this way, the second, fourth, and the two of you will take five hundred brothers to kill and probe the truth of the officers and soldiers first. ”

Deng Cong and Wang Kui said loudly: "Yes, boss." ”

The two bandit leaders rushed out of the gate of the cottage with five hundred horse bandits, and they saw several soldiers shouting and scolding loudly. The rest of the soldiers laughed behind him.

The grumpy Deng Cong and the vengeful Wang Kui rushed out without waiting for the gate to be fully opened.

Most of the horse bandits were in the gate at the moment, and when they saw that the leader had rushed out, they were even more eager to rush out, but they could only be blocked behind because the gate opened slowly.

When they saw the gate open, Ma Qiang and Liu Wu quickly ordered the soldiers to organize the formation, and the soldiers who were shouting and scolding consciously went around to the back of the team.

When Deng Wang and a few horse bandits rushed to the front of the battle, they were shot back by a burst of bows and arrows covering their faces by the officers and soldiers.

Deng Cong was even hit by an arrow in the arm. The horse bandits behind rushed over one after another at this moment, but they were greeted by a more violent rain of arrows from the officers and soldiers.

Deng Cong and Wang Kui hurriedly retreated to the place near the gate where the bow and arrow could not shoot and began to form a team, and only after all the horse bandits finished sorting out the formation did they find that there were nearly fifty horse bandits killed and injured in the chaotic rush just now.

The first charge of the two not only returned in vain, but also damaged many of their subordinates, and they were embarrassed for a while.

The short-tempered Deng Cong directly pulled out the arrow on his arm and commanded the horse bandits who had sorted out the formation to rush forward together.

However, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the gap between the horse bandits to rest and retreat a few dozen steps, and under the command of Ma Qiang and Liu Wu, they continued to slowly retreat while sorting out the formation.

When the horse bandits saw the movements of the officers and men, they thought that the officers and men were already afraid of retreating, and the momentum of the charge became more violent, and even many horse bandits rushed out of the formation with their superb riding skills.

However, what they didn't expect was this.

Before they could reach the range of their bows and arrows, many of the horses suddenly fell or did not listen to the command.

It was only when they discovered that there were a lot of iron nails and other objects in the place where the officers and men had left just now.

At this time, the horses were not yet equipped with horseshoes.

The long iron nail pierced the cuticle above the horse's hooves, causing the horse to lose control and even be injured.

Before the horse bandit who had fallen down in front of him could get up, he was bumped into by the horse bandit who could not hold back from behind, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the hooves of more horses that followed.

At the same time, it also made the war horse that had just rushed up some speed stop again.

The tragedy of these horse bandits had just begun, and I saw that all the officers and soldiers drew their longbows and shot out the bows and arrows in their hands, and suddenly those horse bandits who were forced to stop became living human targets.

Deng Cong, the already injured horse bandit leader, was lucky to pass through the area full of sharp iron nails, but he was favored again and was directly shot alive into a hedgehog.

And Wang Kui's war horse ran out of control because of his injury, which allowed him to escape the rain of arrows.

When he looked back, he was shocked to find that more than half of the horse bandits could no longer get up.

In a panic, he quickly changed to another war horse and fled with the surviving hundred horse bandits.

In the rear of the 600 officers and soldiers was 500 Xiangyong led by Zhang He.

Although they did not directly participate in the battle just now, when the horse bandits were reorganizing their formation, they covered the open space left by the officers and soldiers after retreating with iron nails.

Seeing that the hidden weapons they had arranged by themselves had achieved brilliant results, these people who had gone to the battlefield for the first time cheered excitedly.

For the first time, the officers and men were thrilled to achieve such an easy victory.
