The news of the bandit army coming east has been notified to the Xinqi County government, and the government can't control how to deal with the Jiang family, and it can't manage it. The Yu family and the Guo family live in the city, but the Jiang family can't ignore it, Yan'er sent a convoy to pick up the people of the Yu family and the Guo family to Pingshan Town to avoid chaos, Houzhai has hollowed out the mountain in recent years, extended out, and it is not a problem to accommodate two or three thousand people, compared with the county seat, the security of Houzhai is much higher.

More than 100 people from the Guo family soon picked up, but the carriage and horse to pick up the old man Yu were empty, and the leader of the team, Du Shilei, brought back the old man's words, "The old man is a native of Xinqi County, and he has been eating the court for many years, and he should contribute to the country, if the thief army comes to attack the city, the old man will live and die with Xinqi County."

The news that the heavenly army was coming soon spread, Pingshan Town was in turmoil, the caravan left in a hurry, and the people who came to look for work also returned to their respective homes. The wind blew through the empty streets, rolling up the fallen leaves, and it was bleak.

Although the back village of the Jiang family is large, it is impossible to contain all the people in Pingshan Town, not to mention that there are many secrets in the back village, and it is not good for the Jiang family to be found by people with many eyes. No one was willing to leave their hometown, seeing that the Jiang family picked up the Guo family from the county seat, many villagers thought that they could also take refuge behind the stone wall, but Yan'er refused, so the rumors that the Jiang family was rich and unkind and had no neighborly affection spread with the fleeing villagers.

…………

Sixty miles west of Pingshan Town, in Xinye County, Li Mingfeng received a report from Tanma that 3,000 people from the Heaven Shoutian Army were coming towards the official road, and there was still a distance of ten miles. There are 3,000 people coming to the enemy, and it is obviously not possible to blindly rush forward, Li Mingfeng is a disciple of Liu Ziwei, and he knows the importance of geographical advantages, and Li Mingfeng observed the terrain along the way, and after learning the news that the bandit army was ten miles apart, he led the army back.

There is a forest five miles behind, there is a small river behind the woods, September is the season when the reeds are in full bloom, the reeds rise and fall with the wind, beautiful. Li Mingfeng has been traveling on this road all the year round, and has taken Yan'er here to see the reed flowers, and is very familiar with this terrain. The sun for more than ten consecutive days has already dried up the reeds, and only one spark can ignite a sky-high flame, and Li Mingfeng is ready to introduce the Heavenly Army into it. Not daring to hide the soldiers and horses in the reeds, Li Mingfeng asked everyone to retreat five miles away, selected thirty masters, and Li Mingfeng immediately stood on the official road, waiting for the arrival of the heavenly army.

It is Rao Qiangfeng's wish to destroy the Jiang family in Pingshan Town, and Rao Qiangfeng's major affairs to develop the base area of Pansnake Mountain were handed over to the military advisor Dong Haoyun, and he personally led 8,000 men and horses to Xinqi County, Texas.

The vanguard officer is Shu Yongjie, the general of Wuqing who is proud of the spring breeze, and he made the first contribution to the capture of Wuqing County, and then Zhang Zhuang grabbed grain and made new contributions, and the military advisor Dong Haoyun admired him very much, and said that the general let him replace the vacancy after Cao Chengduo's death and became one of the top ten generals of the Heavenly Army.

The general wanted to come to Texas to deal with the Jiang family, and Shu Yongjie took the initiative to ask for help on the grounds that he was familiar with the road, and led his 3,000 brothers to become the pioneers of the general. Riding on a horse, Shu Yongjie looked forward to his own pride, and the general promised him that he could only take Jiangfu smoothly, add another 3,000 soldiers and horses to him, and let him become an independent army. There are ten generals under the general, and there are only five people who are in charge of the army independently, and he will come from behind and become the five tiger generals.

The spies came at a gallop to report, and someone was blocking the way in front of them. Shu Yongjie was shocked, the official army is here? Hurriedly asked: "How many people, where are the officers and soldiers?" "To be honest, Shu Yongjie still has no bottom in his heart.

"General Yu, it's not like an official army, there are only about thirty people."

Shu Yongjie breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually dared to block General Ben's way, shouldn't it be a good man who heard that General Ben was passing by and wanted to join the gang." Come on, go with General Ben to have a look. ”

Under the protection of the guards, Shu Yongjie came to the forefront. He selected fifty people from the minions of Fuhu Village as his personal guards, and as the general's personal guards were naturally better equipped than others, with war horses, machetes, spears, and leather armor, and he was mighty among a group of people in tattered clothes and armed with clubs and hoes.

Looking forward, dazzling brightly, the silver-white armor is very pleasing in the eyes, Shu Yongjie likes it at a glance, if he puts on this armor, it will definitely be a hundred times more majestic than now, this silver armor is not a few, in addition to offering a few pairs to the general, it can also be used to make friends with other generals, and the brothers who have to be used around him can also be encircled.

"Shu Yongjie, good thief." A loud shout interrupted Shu Yongjie's reverie. The voice was very familiar, Shu Yongjie squinted his eyes and carefully distinguished the face in the light cluster, it was actually Zhang Zhuang (Li Mingfeng). Shu Yongjie subconsciously shuddered, the memory he had when he went to Zhangzhuang to grab food was too deep, as long as he remembered it, he still felt a heavy foot on his back.

Shu Yongjie immediately came to his senses, he is now one of the top ten generals of the Heavenly Army, followed by 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there are 5,000 soldiers and horses of the general behind him, how can he be afraid of this little owner, didn't Zhang Zhuang let himself bring people to ruin? Hehe, eighty percent of the owner of Zhang Zhuang was angry when he got the news, so he took someone to prepare to teach himself a lesson.

Thinking of Zhang Tiansheng's martial bravery, Shu Yongjie quietly reined in and took a step back, and said loudly: "It turned out to be the owner of Zhang Zhuang, I haven't seen him for some days, Shu made a special trip to visit the village, and I heard that the owner of the village and his wife went to his mother's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was really unlucky." ”

"Shu Yongjie", Li Mingfeng shouted angrily: "Zhang treats you well, but you let people burn my Zhuangzi, you are really an ungrateful and wolf-hearted villain." ”

Shu Yongjie laughed dryly twice and said, "Master Zhang, I misunderstood." Shu was ordered by General Rao to invite the owner of the village to join the gang, and he ordered someone to set fire to the village because of the owner's worries. Master Zhang, you and I are old acquaintances, if you are willing to defect to our army, I will immediately report to the general to appoint you as my deputy, and you and I will be in charge of 6,000 soldiers and horses. I know that the owner of the village has great ambitions, and it is the opportunity for the Dapeng to spread its wings when he defects to the Heavenly Army, so the owner must not miss it. ”

Li Mingfeng almost didn't have a crooked nose by Shu Yongjie, and he wanted to be his deputy, and he didn't know where Shu Yongjie's confidence came from. Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Li Mingfeng stretched out his hand to pick up his bow and shot an arrow at Shu Yongjie. The guards around Shu Yongjie had already prepared, and the arrow was only shot on the shield, half an inch deep, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly.

Shu Yongjie sneered and said, "Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, and good intentions are not rewarded." Come on, take Zhang Tiansheng down, it's best not to hurt the horse. Damn, this kid's horse is taller than mine. ”

With an order, the troops stood out, Li Mingfeng and others fought while walking, and after shooting a bag of arrows, dozens of people fell behind them. Shu Yongjie hid behind the shield wall in the crowd, and laughed loudly: "Master Zhang, you can save your life if you descend as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame Shu for not telling the old feelings." ”

Li Mingfeng scolded hatefully: "Dog thief, there is a kind of you coming forward, let's have a fight." ”

Shu Yongjie glanced at his subordinates, asked him to lead people around to the front to block Li Mingfeng's way, and said with a smile: "Shu has long wanted to fight with the owner, and today he is overjoyed." Wait, wait, wait for me to tighten my armor. Li Mingfeng knew Shu Yongjie's plan, as long as he didn't block the reedy road, he wouldn't care about him.

After grinding half a pillar of incense kung fu, Shu Yongjie saw that Li Mingfeng's retreat had been blocked, so he appeared proudly, raised the horsewhip in his hand and said with a smile: "Zhang Tiansheng, you have fallen into the palm of my hand, and you should not return quickly." ”

"Villain", Li Mingfeng scolded angrily, and the head of the carousel rushed towards the woods, and a piece of light swayed between the trees from time to time. Shu Yongjie was in a hurry, the armor and horses he was optimistic about couldn't fly, and with a "chase", his minions followed Li Mingfeng into Luhuadang.

Li Mingfeng deliberately lured the enemy, of course, it was impossible to run without a trace, and from time to time he turned around and shot back, and Shu Yongjie fell down a few corpses in front of him. Chasing into two or three miles, Shu Yongjie found that something was wrong, there was a vast reed flower around him, how to deal with it if Li Mingfeng lit a fire?

Reined in the horse, Shu Yongjie shouted: "Stop, don't chase." ”

Li Mingfeng secretly said that it was a pity that at least half of the bandit army had not entered the reeds, and since they had been identified, they could only ignite the fire immediately. Ordered his men to shake the fire and light it everywhere, and in a moment thick smoke billowed and flames flew up. The bandits went deep into the reeds, the front ones desperately retreated, and the back ones were still chasing forward, and the two places were crowded together, unable to move.

The fire swept over in a moment, and the screams were endless. Shu Yongjie was so frightened that his soul was scattered, there was a crowd of people behind him, but there was a fire in front of him. In a hurry, Shu Yongjie shouted: "Protect me with a shield and rush forward." ”

Holding the horse's belly stubbornly, urging the war horse to rush forward, several guards held shields in front of the road, Shu Yongjie held his breath, buried his head behind the horse's neck, and rushed forward with his eyes closed.

Feeling that the heat on his face subsided, Shu Yongjie opened his eyes, and was actually rushed out of the fire array by him, and before he had time to rejoice, he saw Li Mingfeng urging the horse to wave his knife not far away. Shu Yongjie was taught a hard lesson by Li Mingfeng, how dare he compete with him, and instructed the guards around him: "Block him for me." ”

Swept his eyes around, saw that there was no fire on the right side, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, urged the horse to flee to the right, and by the time Li Mingfeng solved a few personal guards, Shu Yongjie had already disappeared.

It is impossible for Li Mingfeng to waste his energy on chasing Shu Yongjie, you must know that there are still 3,000 bandit troops, once he reorganizes his 500 people, it will be difficult to deal with them, and if there are too many casualties, it will be difficult to go back and explain to Yan'er.

Coming out of the reeds from the road that he had planned in advance, Li Mingfeng gathered people and horses to kill them back, Shu Yongjie was still scurrying around in the reeds like a headless fly, the bandit army was leaderless and chaotic, Li Mingfeng led the troops to kill, and it didn't take much effort to kill the bandits.

Li Mingfeng was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, Rao Qiangfeng's brigade arrived, Li Mingfeng saw that the thief was huge, and took his men away.
