Faced with the temptation of 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver, Zeng Yi, who was almost a dime a dime on weekdays, offered a heavenly reward, as long as he could rob the 500,000 taels of silver, each person would be rewarded with 10 taels of silver, and the top 10 people who killed and injured the most officers and soldiers returned to the island after each of them had two Japanese little girls' skins, which was the legacy left by the Japanese who fled to the road for refuge a few years ago.

After a dozen small abacus, the owner of Zeng Island was distressed, if it was really successful, then the reward for the brothers would be more than 60,000 taels of silver, which was the price of 12,000 acres of fertile land!

But the owner of the island knew that he couldn't lose a big one because of a small one, so in order to boost morale, in order to speed up the march and arrive at Shiling before the disaster relief silver escort team, he could only break the bank.

They moved quickly, and Zheng Tianshi's men were not slow, and in the evening of the next day, the news finally came back, and there was no sign of transferring troops to the city of Guangzhou, which had hired Nanhaiwei of Qingfu and the remaining 8,000 men, and the officers and troops escorting the disaster relief silver would be able to enter Huaxian tonight, and at this time, the bandits who had been hurrying all the way almost without stopping were thirty miles east of Huaxian.

"Hehe, Heavenly Master! This is really good news, you can finally rest assured this time! Zeng Yiyi listened to it, and couldn't help but smile proudly, 500,000 taels! Immediately let it be your own, and immediately take someone to sea by boat after making this ticket, and wait for the wind and waves to calm down and dive back to be a rich man.

"Oh, yes! Finally relieved! Zheng Tianshi nodded and smiled, but there was a trace of murder hidden in his eyes, let you be proud first, as soon as the silver arrives, it will be the death date of your Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yiyi's mind can not hide from the treacherous and cunning Zheng Tianshi, Zheng Tianshi has long been seen clearly that he is only seeking wealth, and he is bent on making a fortune and then fleeing overseas, which Zheng Tianshi does not want to see, his goal has not been achieved, where can he be allowed to pick a son halfway, after thinking about it, the only way is to get rid of Zeng Yiyi and control the six thousand bandits himself.

For this reason, Zheng Tianshi had already started to arrange half a month ago, and all the hundreds of people who had taken refuge in Zeng Yiyi during this period were arranged by him, in order to wait for the right opportunity to send a fatal blow to kill Zeng Yiyi.

And now this opportunity is very appropriate, tomorrow the official army will be able to enter the Lion Ridge, and there will be a fierce battle at that time. Although relying on the numerical advantage of Zeng Yi will win, but the casualties must not be small, at that time is the time to make his own move, arrange manpower to take advantage of the chaos to result in Zeng Yi, his cronies must not see any problems, when the time is a little means to win people's hearts, you can let the remaining bandits obey their orders, so that the silver is there, the manpower is also there, it is definitely a profitable business mother, the beauty has been lying down.

Without further ado, 6,000 men and horses rushed to Shiling overnight, and they didn't dare to use the torches, so they climbed halfway up the mountain and lurked, so that the officers and soldiers could not detect it.

It's a pity that just this morning, the 5,000 men and horses of Qingyuan and the 1,000 people from Conghua arrived at Shiling one step ahead of schedule, and hid on the top of the mountain and the eastern slope according to the instructions of Lord Shen of Qincha, and set up an ambush on the 6,000 bandits from a condescending overlook.

Witnessing all this, the leading general smiled and commanded in a low voice: "Immediately summon Lord Dusi, who has entered the Shiling Ridge one by one!" ”

Huaxian: "Okay, hehehe, Master Su, you can rest assured this time!" Shen Chongming, who was dressed in the costume of a yamen official, said excitedly that his grandmother's, Zeng Yi, had finally taken the bait.

Su Chenwu, who was also dressed as a small official, was also relieved, since he made this plan, he had not slept a peaceful night, and he was even more relieved to dress up and mix with this Shen Chongming into the escort team.

"Lord Qincha, it's just a battle tomorrow, what do you say our chances of winning!" Su Chenwu made the same old mistake again and continued to suffer from gains and losses.

"Ten percent!" Shen Chongming said with great certainty: "Now Zeng Yiyi and his bandits have entered the trap we set for him, it is absolutely impossible to escape, after entering the Shiling Ridge tomorrow, the accompanying four hundred Shenji Battalion soldiers will use firearms to block them from going down the mountain, and the ambush soldiers on the mountain will also take the opportunity to attack, and when the mountains and rocks go down, they can defeat Zeng Yiyi without engaging the enemy!" ”

Saying this, Shen Chongming looked proud, tossing and turning, his wish to reduce casualties was finally realized.

"That's good!" Su Chenwu said with relief, and then said with a smile: "Lord Shen, I won't tell you anything, when I first saw you, the official really had some contempt for you, thinking that at your age, where could you lead the troops to fight, but now it seems that it is a big mistake, hehe!" ”

"Hahaha, don't hide it from Master Su, when I saw you, the officials also felt the same way, and said that you are a corrupt official who only knows how to eat empty salaries? But I've never heard anyone speak ill of you in all this time! Shen Chongming also laughed, and they got along for more than a month. Although Su Chenwu didn't do anything worthy of his admiration, he was always polite to himself, and he was not ambiguous in doing things.

Su Chenwu's face turned red, and he knew that he had been judged by his appearance again: "Lord Shen, the flesh of this official is idle, and it has been many years in the blink of an eye, except for this time, Guangdong has been calm, even in the early years, when there were Japanese robbers, it has never affected Guangdong, alas! This is also the reason why the combat effectiveness of my Guangdong soldiers is low, they have not fought for many years, and they only know how to farm and cultivate the land all day long, and there is no big difference between them and the farmers in the fields! ”

"Yes! Forget the war will be dangerous, my Ming Dynasty in addition to the border army still has some ability, the local guards are all like this, take the southeast coast as an example, if there is a thirty percent of the combat power during the Taizu period, it will not be beaten like that by the Japanese Kou! Shen Chongming shook his head again and again, and he had already made up his mind to give the emperor a fold after returning to Beijing, asking him to order the national guard to train soldiers and horses diligently.

"Forget the battle and be in danger!" Su Chenwu muttered, and couldn't help but get up and say, "Lord Shen is right, this official has been taught!" ”

Shen Chongming was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Su is raised, and the lower officials are just nonsense!" "But I sweated in my heart, and this doctrine should be used less in the future! Otherwise, others will be able to make themselves saints.

Without further ado, the escort team set off early the next morning to continue on their way, because the news was tightly sealed, except for the generals who knew that a big battle was about to be staged in Shiling, the ordinary sergeants did not know at all, and even Lord Qincha and Lord Dusi were mixed in the team, and only knew that the real 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver were under their protection.

The ignorant are fearless, no one can guess that the bandits are setting up an ambush on the middle of the road waiting to rob the disaster relief silver, Zheng Tianshi, who is lurking in the middle of the mountain under the scorching sun, witnesses all this through the clairvoyance in his hand, and can't help but smile, and the last bit of worry in his heart also turns to ashes, through the sergeant's relaxed and lazy expression, it can be concluded that the officers and soldiers did not expect the machine room to come back and rob the personal bodyguard of the disaster relief silver sisters.

"Heavenly Master, what is this in your hand!" Zeng Yiyi, who leaned over to the side, asked with curiosity on his face, what are you doing with this thing like a burning stick!

Too lazy to take care of him, Zheng Tianshi said to himself: "Island master, tell your subordinates to prepare for action, and launch an attack as soon as the official army completely enters Shiling!" ”

When he said this, Lord Zeng's thoughts returned to the body of 500,000 taels of silver, and he smiled: "Okay, let Heavenly Master you see a good show today!" ”

Time passed little by little, and seeing that Zeng Yiyi, who was about to complete his work, gradually appeared fine beads of sweat on his forehead, not afraid, but excited, 500,000 taels! I never thought about it in my life.

Taking a breath, he turned his head slightly to look at Zheng Tianshi, who was concentrating on the situation under the mountain, like Zheng Tianshi, Zeng Yiyi also made arrangements to take the opportunity to take Zheng Tianshi's life, he hadn't figured out his details for so long, it was really a hidden danger, and his increasingly apparent strength made him even more worried, once he had the intention to kill himself, it would be difficult to escape.

Thinking about it, Zeng Yiyi's hand quietly touched the dagger hidden in his waist, now is a good opportunity! While he is not enough, a single knife into his waist can make him lose half his life.

But at the moment when he pulled out the dagger, Zeng Yi withdrew his hand, and now the important thing is to break up the officials and soldiers first, and rob the silver, you must know that there are nearly 100 people from Zheng Tianshi among these people, once they kill the surname Zheng, it will definitely cause infighting, and then maybe they will be picked up by the officials and soldiers.

"Do it!" Zheng Tianshi shouted, and Zeng Yiyi immediately grabbed the blade beside him and rushed down the mountain. Although there are a lot of stones on the mountain, the official road below is wide, and the possibility of killing and injuring the officers and soldiers with rolling stones is too small, and it will add obstacles to the frontal battle behind.

Once one by one, the bandits hiding on the slopes of the mountains on both sides have appeared, screaming and killing down the mountain, the slopes are steep, and some accidents are inevitable, many people rushed too quickly and rolled down the mountain.

There was a sudden change, but it frightened the sergeants on the official road under the mountain, and they turned around one by one to flee for their lives, but fortunately, the generals had already prepared, and they rode on their horses and shouted loudly to let the soldiers line up, and a whipping and kicking finally calmed down the panicked sergeants, and at this time, the soldiers of the four hundred Shenji battalion mixed in it had already driven the carriage to finish the formation, just waiting for the bandits to reach the firing range and fire.

The generals are as steady as Mount Tai, as if they had given a shot of strength to the panicked soldiers, and the leading role of the Shenji Battalion cannot be ignored.

The white flowers of silver blinded Zeng Yiyi's IQ, and he rushed down the hill without noticing the different reactions of the officers and soldiers, and still shouted in his mouth: "Brothers, grab the silver!" ”

He didn't find out that Zheng Tianshi, who had been leading his men, saw that something was wrong, according to the normal situation, the reaction of the officers and soldiers should be that the generals and soldiers were in a mess, and then desperately drove the carriage to flee, and then abandoned the carriage and fled for their lives when they saw the enemy killed.

But now it's the opposite. Although there was a burst of chaos at the beginning of the official army, it soon calmed down, and began to set up the formation in an orderly manner, which was really abnormal, frowning, Zheng Tianshi thought of a very terrible reason, the official army had long expected to be ambushed in Shiling.

Zheng Tianshi was taken aback by his own judgment, since they had expected it, they must have been well prepared, who was ambushing whom, it was not certain?
