Shang Cheng proposed that Dujiadian had to fight, but before the three officers could speak, Guan Xuan was the first to stand up and express his support. The head of the Ma Zhiguan clan is no longer the panic and restraint he had when he first met Shang Cheng, and instead his face is full of sadness and hatred, and his cousin-in-law You Ze is dead, and the body is still by the gate; Two uncles and brothers, one dead and one seriously wounded; Of the twenty-seven children of the two families who came out of Guan You's family, only eight remained...... This hatred and hatred are not shared! Now he held a bladed waist knife in his hand, stared at the blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "What the adults say, it's what it is!" Even if I am allowed to take the lead, if I frown, the adults will just cut off my head! The children of the You family of the Guan family one by one, let the adults drive! ”

Shang Cheng stared at him deeply and turned his gaze to the three officers. Among the three, Jin Xi's rank and position are also the oldest, seeing Shang Cheng looking over, he held his injured arm and said in a deep voice: "If you don't fight, the Border Military Division and the Wei Mansion will track it down, and your lord will ......" As he spoke, he raised his eyelids and quietly glanced at his boss, seeing Shang Cheng staring at him with slanted eyes, his two deep and bottomless eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly changed his words, "...... Everyone is inseparable. After a pause, he felt that it was still wrong to say this, and added, "...... I'm even more sorry for the brothers who folded here. It's just that the bandits have bows and crossbows, and they are stubborn in Linzhai, so we have to find a way to deal with them. ”

"What if you have a bow and a crossbow? I'm afraid of them! Qian Laosan interrupted Jin Xi's words. He had just fought a fight, and after cutting down three bandits in succession, he was bold and bloody, standing here in the meeting, one hand tightened the handle of the knife and kept pinching the handle, and he naturally spoke ruthlessly, "I don't believe it, how many arrows can a few **-like thieves hoard!" Shaking the handle of the knife, he arched his hand towards Shang Chengyi, "My lord, please take my orders one by one, and I will bring someone over to fight again!" If you don't take down the walled gate, you won't come back to see the adults! ”

When he said this, Jin Xi's face immediately couldn't hold back, his face turned blue, red and white, his lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't open his mouth to rebuke and refute, he straightened up in shame and said loudly: "My lord, my subordinates also ask for orders, and lead someone to fight again!" ”

Sun Zhongshan saw that Shang Cheng looked at the eyes of the two Xiazhai officers, and there was a little encouragement, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, the courage of the golden whistle and the money whistle is commendable, but it will definitely not work if you fight like this!" It's just that the bandits' arrows are running out, how can the gate be opened? Let the soldiers take turns chopping with axes? A few people huddled in front of the walled gate, no arrows to grab spears, and a bucket of boiling water poured on the walled wall could make the soldiers worse than dead! The method of stacking human walls also does not work. Our manpower is not as good as the bandits, and we are attacking upwards, and it takes three or four people to reach one opponent, so we have to suffer even more if we fight for our lives! We only have five bows left, not counting the two yellow crossbows in the stockade, and at most they are half a pound or eight taels with the bandits, and they can't suppress the bows and arrows on the wall......"

Qian Laosan said fiercely: "Then fight at night!" Let's not light torches, and fight blindly with black lights! Bandits are useless without a bright bow and crossbow! ”

As soon as his words fell, Sun Zhongshan immediately said, "You can't fight at night!" We will suffer even more in the night battle! We don't know the situation in the stockade at all, and we don't know the terrain, if I recklessly fight at night, I will be in the open and the enemy in the dark, and I will inevitably be taken advantage of by bandits! He bowed slightly to Shang Cheng, raised his body and looked directly at his boss and said, "My lord, now we are at a disadvantage, and we can only temporarily confront the bandits, who want to defend the village one by one, and they don't dare to fight at night." Please send an order to go down to the village and close to the village overnight, and first transfer the soldiers in the village and the surrounding villagers to use it in a centralized manner, and besiege the village without attacking it; Then they assigned men to block the roads around the stockade, so that the bandits would not flee when they heard the news. Shangzhai and Zhongzhai should also send orders to transfer border troops over. As long as there are two more sentinels, the bandits will inevitably not be able to hold the stockade. ”

Although his qualifications and titles are not as good as Jin Xiqian's third child, he has been like his village since he was in the army, from a beacon soldier to the current halberd captain and second deputy, he has participated in far more battles than the two Qian who have been guarding the horse straight for half his life, and the experience gained from fighting is also much richer, and he has read a lot of miscellaneous books as a teenager, and his knowledge is even higher than that of the two money.

Shang Cheng was noncommittal to Sun Zhongshan's suggestion, holding a cotton handkerchief in his hand, but staring at Dujiadian a mile away with his vigorous eyebrows silent.

The terrain here is almost the same as that of Dujiadian, the situation inside the village is completely unclear, and the figures walking back and forth through the shadows on the wall, can only see a cyan flag hanging in the middle of the village. Outside the wall, which is only a few dozen steps away, a dilapidated land temple stands alone on a gentle slope. Several old black owls croaked and whirled in midair, occasionally swooping down and spinning and then shaking up as if frightened, leaving behind a black line that seemed to be gone. There were still several corpses of bandits left in the bare fields, some crouching, some lying on their backs, some with blurred flesh and blood, and some clenching their fists and fingers as if they were unwilling......

His gaze calmly scanned back and forth from far and near, a little ghostly light flickering in the dark pupils, one by one under his quiet face, but his heart was rolling, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined in his mind.

Shang Cheng knew that what Sun Zhongshan said was actually not bad, and now he was on the upper side of the Dujia store and did not fight. This side showed weakness and dragged the bandits, and the border troops were mobilized to block the road, and the villagers surrounded the village in all directions to block the road, and when the time came, there was no need to fight hard, and the bandits themselves dispersed. He looked at Sun Zhongshan and nodded appreciatively. In other words, he was in Sun Zhongshan's position, and the most he could suggest to Shang Feng was that. But being reasonable does not mean that it will be executed, no matter how cautious and capable Sun Zhongshan is, he is not himself after all, and it is impossible to put himself in his own position and consider it. Of course, it is easy to mobilize hundreds of border soldiers to bravely exterminate the bandits, but for such a big matter, he must inform the border army envoys of Mazhi Dazhai and Beizheng, and then the Wei Mansion and Xingying will also know, how should he hide the news that the bandit leader broke through the sky and did not die? If it is revealed, it is a big case that can shake the whole of Yanshan, I don't know how many people will be implicated, and he will offend all the people in Yanshan; Moreover, he still did not know whether the left army was deliberately rewarding or inadvertently falling for bandits. But if you don't expose it, I'm sorry for the bloody border soldiers, after all, exterminating an ordinary bandit and a habitual bandit giant who has broken through the sky, it is a heaven and an underground ...... Even if he doesn't think about breaking through the sky for the time being, he still has to think about the matter of West Malaysia. There are only four sentinels in the West Malaysia direct command, less than 400 people, here to suppress a bandit will concentrate three sentinels, the defense of the upper, middle and lower three villages over there is empty, if at this time the people of Tu Jie are a little troubled, then it is really in response to Jin Xi's words Who will be responsible for the whole thing? And even if the border troops are mobilized, who can guarantee that they will not receive news after breaking through the sky? If he breaks through before the border army closes...... The border army here is only more than 70 people, and if you look at the stockade, you can't take into account the route of the bandits. Who can take that responsibility?

…… I don't know how much time has passed, but his gaze suddenly became condensed and deep, revealing a resolute determination that has no hesitation.

"Jin Xi, Sun Zhongshan!"

"My Majesty!" The two officers he named stood in unison.

"Reorganize the team! The border army is in front, and the townspeople are in the back, and they are in an attack formation! The shield hand is in front, the sword and spear are behind, and the bow is pressed against the wings! ”

"Obey!" Jin Xi roared without hesitation. Sun Zhongshan hesitated a little, opened his mouth but pursed his lips tightly, and paused before answering loudly: "Your subordinates obey orders!" ”

"Those who can stand stand stand up, and those who can't stand will have a chief in their hands to grab ......"

This order was obviously a bit inexplicable, and even Jin Xi looked at Shang Cheng with blinking eyes and puzzled, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence of "obey the order".

"You are a feint, and you must do everything you can to attract the attention of the bandits. In my absence, the team was commanded by Sun Zhongshan; Sun Zhongshan was not there, and Jin Xi commanded. Shang Cheng ignored the two surprised and inexplicable officers, "Qian Laosan!" ”

"My Majesty!"

"Go and pick four brave soldiers and come with me. Go find some padded jackets and water, find more, I'll be useful! ”

"Obey!" Qian Laosan grinned happily and happily went to pick someone to find something.

Guan Xuan saw that everyone else had a job, but he had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but ask a little anxiously: "My lord, what about me?" What do I do? ”

Shang Cheng glanced at him, lowered his voice and said slowly, "Guan Li is taking care of the wounded in the back." After all, fighting a war is the business of those of us who are soldiers and eat food. You're not in the military, and you're not a countryman, so you're ......."

Guan Miao became anxious when he heard this, and shouted: "How can that happen?!" No matter what we say about the Guan family, it is our duty to defend the land, and it is our duty to eliminate bandits! Seeing that Shang Cheng was indifferent to his words, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly said angrily, "Okay, I'll join the border army!" It's always okay, right? ”

Shang Cheng was amused by his words, and instantly restrained his smile and said, "Guan Lizheng, you dare to disobey the order of the direct commander of Xima?" ”

Looking at Guan Xuan's back, Shang Cheng took a clean handkerchief, spread it out in his hand, and slowly wiped his itchy and tearful right eye with his fingers pressed against the cotton thread. At this time, Sun Zhongshan and Jin Xi had already fully understood, and after glancing at each other, Sun Zhongshan opened his mouth and said, "My lord, you are here to command the feint, and I will lead the death squad." ”

Shang Cheng held the handkerchief in his hand, blinked vigorously, and picked up the handkerchief, and then said to Sun Zhongshan: "This is a thing that will kill eighty percent, and those who can go are outlaws, you can't take it." If I die in battle, you form a formation first, wait until it gets dark, and then retreat slowly. Go to Xiazhai to activate my seal letter, on the one hand, ask for help from the Mazhi Dazhai and Beizheng border army envoys, and on the other hand, according to your method, mobilize the border troops and townsmen of Xiazhai and Zhongzhai to surround here, whether they live or die, they must not let the sky escape again. He turned his face to look at Jin Xi, who couldn't tell what kind of expression his face was, the corners of his mouth hooked and smiled, and he said eloquently like an old friend for many years, "Old Jin, don't resent me when it comes to military affairs, Zhongshan is better than you." ”

Jin Xiqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "How can I resent my lord." One adult, I'll lead the death squad! Don't underestimate me, don't underestimate me, I, Jin, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

"I know, you're not that kind of person. No one here is greedy for life or afraid of death. ”

"It's good that adults know! I'll lead the death squads! ”

Shang Cheng smiled and shook his head.
