Chapter 18: Li Si Suppresses Bandits
Tens of thousands of copper coins were collected in two days, which is a very good income.
However, Yamashita reported that someone was coming to find fault.
Zhang Ming put some spies in Xiangping City.
The spies have big news.
"Liaodong Lieutenant Li Si is coming to Erlong Mountain to suppress bandits, isn't this TM just going to exterminate me?" After receiving the news, Zhang Ming scolded.
These officers and soldiers, why did they go before, half of the bandits in Liaodong were exterminated by themselves.
Zhu Zi was in charge of finding out the news, he first sent someone to send a message to Zhang Ming, and then he came in person.
"Instructor, the latest news, the reason why Captain Li Si is coming to suppress the bandits is because the Xu family was robbed, and the Xu family asked Captain Li Si to come and beat us."
After listening to the pillar's report, Zhang Ming immediately felt very interesting.
This Xu family still dares to retaliate?
Entering their house by himself is like entering a no-man's land, so Xu Chao is not afraid of being cut off by himself in the middle of the night.
But since he was going to beat him, Zhang Ming naturally wanted to entertain him.
"Continue to investigate, and when the enemy sends troops, Pegasus will report."
Zhang Ming asked the pillar to arrange some fast horses outside the city gate, as long as the news came out, they could quickly report to themselves.
Zhang Ming called hundreds of soldiers, and then went down the mountain together.
"Be well prepared, if the enemy comes, let them suffer well."
Zhang Ming prepared at the bottom of the mountain.
Zhang Ming's previous subordinate Liu Gen was entrusted with a heavy task by Zhang Ming at this time, and asked him to lead a thousand people to defend the cottage.
In fact, there are not many problems, because Zhang Ming has been entrenched here for so long, he is very familiar with the situation here, and taking advantage of the geographical advantages, the officers and soldiers will not be able to break through this cottage at all.
After the arrangement was made, Zhang Ming himself disappeared with more than a thousand people.
Zhang Ming led the army to find a place to hide.
Zhang Ming waited for a day before he could take action in Xiangping City.
It turned out that Taishou was dead, and although Captain Li was in charge of all the troops, the food and salary could not be handled directly by him.
Therefore, if the army wants to be pulled, even if it goes more than ten miles away to attack Erlong Mountain, it will also cost a lot of money.
Because of this expense, Li Si dragged on for several days before he was able to go out of the city to attack.
A total of more than 6,000 troops rushed straight to Erlong Mountain.
This crackdown on bandits can be said to have attracted much attention, because if there were no bandits on Erlong Mountain, then the merchants in the past would not have to pay any more.
Therefore, many families supported and hoped very much to exterminate Zhang Ming.
Li Si led more than 6,000 troops, which was almost the entire army of Xiangping City.
The army reached the foot of Erlong Mountain, and Li Si surrounded the foot of the mountain.
"Listen to the thieves on the mountain, you have been surrounded, come down quickly and surrender."
"Surrender quickly, or I will kill and go up the mountain, and there will be no armor left."
Li Si asked people to shout at the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by thousands of troops, full of momentum.
However, there was silence on the mountain, and no one responded, as if there was no one on the mountain.
Li Si did enough to play, and then ordered to attack the mountain.
Thousands of officers and soldiers began to make their way up the mountain.
On the mountain road, Zhang Ming's army was already ambushed.
"Attack."
Suddenly, with a shout, many figures appeared on the mountain road, and then a large number of arrows poured down.
Suddenly, the officers and soldiers who went up were baptized by arrows, and they suddenly made a mess.
After a while, because the rain of arrows was very dense just now, they were instantly defeated.
The officers and soldiers were killed, and this Li sighed and was ruined.
"Keep attacking, it's just a bunch of thieves, and they don't have much strength." Li Si thought that a group of thieves should be caught with their hands, it was very simple, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face.
Li Si sent people to kill him, and when he attacked, the army of Erlong Mountain retreated while fighting.
"Sure enough, it was a group of bandits, if it wasn't an ambush, how could it be our opponent, just after being hit by us, they ran away."
Li Si began to despise the bandits on Erlong Mountain, and as soon as he was attacked by their regular army, he really couldn't withstand it.
The army continued up the mountain.
The bandits on the hill ambushed them again, throwing down a few logs and throwing a barrage of arrows.
"Hateful bandits, dare not attack us head-on."
Li Si once again commanded a part of the army to rush forward.
The Erlong Mountain bandits above kill for a while and then run away, killing and injuring one or two hundred soldiers each time.
Give the soldiers more damage, stop them from advancing, and then keep running.
"Quick, keep running, let these officers and soldiers catch up."
Liu Gen commanded step by step according to Zhang Ming's arrangement.
Liu Gen is an ordinary soldier who doesn't have much command talent, just because he was the earliest with Zhang Ming.
However, he didn't need much command talent, Zhang Ming had already planned for him, and he was ready for everything to do wherever he went.
"Get the brothers above ready, and when we run up, it's their turn to attack."
Zhang Ming made a lot of checkpoints, waiting for the officers and soldiers to go up.
Approaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Ming asked people to make a big flag, which they could see at the foot of the mountain.
"Instructor, instructor, the big flag above has moved, moved."
The big flag above is a signal prepared by Zhang Ming, as long as the flag is waved, Zhang Ming and they can kill from the hiding place.
"Brothers, go out with me."
Zhang Ming held a spear in his hand, pointed the tip of the spear at the sky, and shouted heroically.
"Kill."
The soldiers shouted in unison, and then they went out together.
Hundreds of cavalry came out and began to run on the road.
The speed of the war horse is getting faster and faster.
"Rush over."
After a while, Zhang Ming and the others saw the officers and soldiers.
"Hey, we're here for reinforcements."
"Our cavalry."
"Where did the cavalry come from, did they come from other counties to support?"
These officers and soldiers had not yet discovered that it was Zhang Ming's army, thinking that the cavalry was their reinforcement.
For Zhang Ming's killing, they didn't react at all.
The officers and soldiers below were still watching the excitement, but they didn't know that danger was coming.
"Kill."
The speed of Zhang Ming's army was unabated, very fast, which made the officers and soldiers startled, because the speed of the people who came did not decrease.
When Zhang Ming arrived, the spear swung out, with a sense of anger.
"Puff~"
The spear slashed the throat of an officer and soldier, and the battle began.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
"Mom."
"Where's the enemy?"
"Ah, how did they beat us."
Officers and men were suddenly overturned on their backs and suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Ming had all the designs, he asked the officers and soldiers to attack the mountain, and a part of the army went up, and after waiting for the designated position, they came out of the hiding place to kill.
At this time, there were about 2,000 officers and soldiers left at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were scattered on the mountain road.
Zhang Ming and his hundreds of men would definitely not be able to attack 6,000 officers and soldiers, so he devised a step-by-step resistance strategy, letting the officers and soldiers go up the mountain, and finally disperse their forces.
"Dog thief, your grandfather is the master of Erlong Mountain, and he will take your dog's life today." Zhang Ming shouted and killed Li Si.
Li Si kept running in fright.
At this time, Zhang Ming, with one eye and a full beard, felt like a thief.
