"General, aren't we going to take the lead in suppressing the thieves' nest in the mountains?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, let's take Qingyang Villa first."

Qin Qiong was a little anxious, "But now there is no evidence that Wang Bo is related to Zhi Shilang." ”

"But there is no evidence to show that Wang Bo has nothing to do with these bandits, on the contrary, the official has enough arguments to deduce that Wang Bo is involved in this case, so we must strike first and not let them escape."

"General!"

Zhang Xutuo turned his head and glanced at Qin Qiong, "Needless to say, if you surround the villa, if you find out that Wang Bozhen has nothing to do with this matter, then this official will naturally not wronged him." ”

Luo Chengce immediately took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Qiong, and signaled with his eyes that his cousin didn't have to argue at this time. After all, he also knows Zhang Xutuo's personality, this is not the kind of person who kills good and riskes merit. Even if the order to besiege the village is ordered now, there will be indiscriminate killings.

Six hundred soldiers pounced on the manor.

Suddenly, Zhang Xutuo's face changed.

"General?"

Luo Cheng also saw that something was wrong.

"Don't you think this Qingyang Villa is too quiet?"

"yes, it's a bit of a thing." After being reminded by Zhang Xutuo, Luo Cheng also came to his senses, they came here the day before yesterday, and at that time there was still a big funeral here, people came and went, and there were no less than a thousand people in the manor.

Even after two days, the condolences are gone, but the master and servant in this village are still there.

As far as he knew, there were only a hundred people in Qingyang Villa.

"If Wang Bo really has no problem, then Qingyang Villa shouldn't be so quiet at this time, he has a problem, a big problem." Zhang Xutuo's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a murderous aura in those eyes, which was his serious expression.

A horse galloped in.

"General, something is wrong in the villa."

The person who came was Jia Runpu.

"What did you find?"

"The doors of the villa are closed, but I can hear the footsteps inside, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of oracle bone swordsmen."

As a veteran who has followed Zhang Xutuo for many years, Jia Runpu has a broken arm, but he has a lot of experience. Not only can he judge the number of soldiers and horses on the road by the smoke and dust, but he can even tell whether there is a large army moving nearby by listening to the ground with his ears close to the ground, and he can even deduce the number of enemy troops in small groups, and can also distinguish whether it is infantry or cavalry, light cavalry or heavy cavalry.

He had just ridden around the lodge and had already noticed a number of problems.

"There are horse thieves in the lodge, and there are quite a few of them, and they seem to want to break through. I guess they must have pretended to hold on behind closed doors, and then when we attacked the village on all sides, they suddenly opened the door and fled in one direction. ”

"So in which direction do you think they're going to break through?" Zhang Xutuo asked.

"It must be south, and you can enter the mountains not far from there. Changbai Mountain is high and densely forested, and there are their thieves inside, and it is not easy to chase after them once they enter the forest. Luo Cheng rushed to answer on the side.

Zhang Xutuo nodded.

"Just a bunch of bandits, they also want to play this trick with someone."

"General, do you want to adjust your deployment?" Luo Cheng asked again.

Zhang Xutuo glanced at Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong was already a little stunned at this time, he actually knew that Wang Bo had nothing to do with this matter after the attack, but he never said this in the county town, and even just now, he was still excusing Wang Bo.

But now, everything is useless.

"Luo Cheng, there is no need to adjust the deployment, it's just a group of bandits, the plan remains the same, let the three regiments of county soldiers go to the siege, and we will wait here for the thieves and dogs to jump over the wall."

Zhang Xutuo is very confident, because in addition to the three regiments of six hundred county soldiers, there are fifty horsemen around him, and those fifty horsemen are his personal guards, well-trained, with actual combat experience, much stronger than those county soldiers, in addition to these more than fifty horsemen, there are also Luo Chengba, who just captured and killed eighteen bandits.

With these more than 50 people, they can actually deal with the bandits in the village, after all, there can't be too many bandits hiding in the village.

Bringing so many county soldiers here is just a real combat training.

Zhang Xutuo drew the curved bow at his waist, opened the bow and set up an arrow, and a Ming Di pierced the sky with a sharp whistle.

He didn't need to order the sound of the flag, but directly issued the order with the sound of arrows.

As soon as the sound of the hammer sounds, it is the general attack of the whole army!

The county soldiers rushed forward with large wooden shields covered with cowhides, followed by groups of county soldiers with bows and crossbows. On either side are the county soldiers with horizontal knives and small shields, and a little further back, the county soldiers with spears.

These county soldiers have a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, which is the result of Zhang Xutuo's hard training during this period of time.

After all, the manor was only a manor, not a castle or a fortress, with neither a moat nor a moat, not even a high wall.

There was only a small stream around the village, and a wall of the village was no more than seven feet long.

Under the protection of the big shield, the county soldiers soon came to the village wall, but there was no response from the wall.

Luo Cheng held the military flag high and stood behind Zhang Xutuo, but his eyes were focused on the Zhuang wall.

Near, closer.

Still unresponsive.

The shield soldiers had already reached the city, and they did not encounter the slightest expected attack along the way.

The officers who led the team were experienced and quickly issued new orders.

Several county soldiers armed with swords and shields came to the wall and began to build a ladder, ready to climb over the wall and enter to open the door.

The ladder was erected, and a sword and shield soldier had just climbed the top of the wall when he saw a spear piercing, and he hurriedly dodged and fell.

"There are thieves!"

The sword and shield soldiers were terrified.

Almost at the same time, several doors of Qingyang Villa opened almost simultaneously, and groups of people rushed out from inside.

Some of them had knives, some had forks, and some even women and children.

"Raise your shield and meet the enemy!"

The officer shouted.

Qin Qiong's face showed a look of pain.

"General, those women and children are innocent!"

Zhang Xutuo was unmoved, "If they don't come out to rush into battle, they are innocent, but they choose to rush out like this, whether they are coerced or active, as long as they threaten my subordinates, then none of them are innocent!" ”

"Qin Qiong, you care too much about your friendship with Wang Bo. You have a good look here, these county soldiers under my command, which of them is not someone else's father, husband, or son, which of them is not a living life, and which of them has no family? If they die here, don't you think my heart won't hurt? ”

"General, the thieves are about to break through." Luo Cheng reminded Zhang Xutuo.

"I've been waiting for them for a long time!"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, about 30 horsemen suddenly rushed out from the south gate of the village, and they galloped out with ring-headed knives and spears.

Obviously, they used the previous Zhuang people to attract the attention of the county soldiers, and at this time they wanted to use the speed of their horses to surprise themselves and escape.

"Jun Cheng, the person at the head is Wang Bo!"

Luo Cheng saw Wang Bo at a glance, Qin Qiong had a relationship with Wang Bo, but Luo Cheng didn't have anything to do with him, he came to Wang's house, but he almost died when he returned to the branch, and he wrote down this hatred.

Jia Runpu drew his knife in his hand and said with a laugh, "Deputy Luo, my brother was in a hurry to return to the county town before, but he couldn't catch up with you to kill the enemy side by side, it's my brother's fault, today, you are here to watch the battle, let my brother kill them for you!" ”

Zhang Xutuo nodded at him, Jia Runpu grabbed the horse's belly and shouted, "Come with me!" ”

Immediately, a group of ten horsemen followed, galloping wildly, and rushed towards Wang Bo and more than thirty horsemen!

"Jun Cheng, is it enough for Deputy Jia to bring ten horses?"

"Enough!" Zhang Xutuo said with a smile.
