Lu Shi and the others beat their horses and turned to the south of the city, and saw the huge plain outside Mizhi City, which was really a sea of people shouting and neighing, and the chaos became a sea of people.

When the people brought food, they cooked on bonfires in the fields, and a few tents were set up in the wilderness, and from time to time there were bursts of drinking and fist-fighting, laughing and scolding, and thinking that it was the place where the poles of the road were beneath. And most of the minions are from the west and the east, waiting for the meal to be cooked around piles of bonfires.

The roaring bonfire stretched on and on as if there was no boundary, reaching to the sky, and the whole camp was full of people, and the noise reached to the sky, and from time to time there were skinny children running around in the sea of people, and from time to time there were the poignant calls of women who had lost their children.

There is no patrol post in the whole military camp, there is no dark village, only chaos, in fact, the Mizhi defenders are also holding the mind of defending the tired enemy, or now as long as there is a little enterprising heart, at this time send a brave soldier to sneak attack the enemy camp, will definitely achieve unexpected good results.

In fact, it's no wonder that these poles from all over the country are big, they are originally composed of displaced people, and they have no training in military discipline at all, let alone experience in camping outside, they all plunder wherever they go, and sleep wherever they go, and now it is difficult for them to ask them to camp in an orderly manner like an army.

Moreover, this time, everyone believes that with their current strength, against the battle of the official army, their own side is just a charge to take Mizhi.

There are gorgeous houses, soft bedding, mountains of grain, and all kinds of things and things that you can't imagine, so why bother patrolling and camping? As long as everyone gathers together, eats and drinks enough, and in the afternoon of the first battle, they can go into the city to enjoy these things.

Looking at the villagers in the city, looking at the crowd below like a sea with a blank face, the noisy voices and the bonfire that stretched to the horizon gave people a boundless sense of oppression, and people's nerves were about to collapse.

Now, all those who signed Ding Junhan, all of them have the devotion of praying to God and heaven, praying that the enemies outside will not steal the city now, where is the courage to steal the camp and rob the village?

Seeing this situation, Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing both shook their heads with a wry smile, and Lu Shi secretly said: "Is this the righteous army of the vigorous peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty?" Is it just such a group of homeless people who overthrew the 300-year-old iron country of the Ming Dynasty? Now it seems that it is not that the peasant rebel army is too strong, but that the Ming court has been corrupted to the extreme. ”

The non-muddy station was arranged in the courtyard of a small landlord, and the original owner had already taken a small fortune to hide in the county seat. So he didn't get mud and occupied the magpie's nest and became the temporary owner of this yard.

The courtyard is two-in, a circle of stone courtyard walls, a fairly tall gatehouse, there are two small stone lions in front of the door, the carving is not a little powerful, but there is too much naivety, and now standing in front of the non-muddy pro-soldier murderous scene is incompatible.

Under the courtyard wall, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the carefully selected minions on the non-muddy cottage are holding knives and guns in their hands, and they are all on guard against all the people who come and go.

A three-room central hall above has now become a non-muddy hall of the association, with a tiger skin chair placed in the center, and the plaque that originally hung "ploughing and reading heirlooms" on the main hall was discarded to the ground and replaced with "walking for heaven".

Along the sides of the hall were a slick of chairs, which were prepared for the poles of the cottages to come to the alliance. This time, thirteen alliances have come one after another, and it can also be said that there are many talents and extraordinary momentum.

These thirteen poles are big and small, the big ones are three or four thousand, seven or eight thousand, and the small ones are only a few hundred, but all kinds of people gathered together to make their own team of about 50,000.

But now these people, no matter how big or small, have their own hearts, some really want to come to everyone to twist into a rope, lay down rice fat and grab grain for the winter, and some are purely running to find cheap, but just look at the people and horses brought by those people, you can see that they are all old and weak, women and children, and they are even more uneven, and they have not brought grain and grass to carry weights, and they are simply here to eat Lu Shi, a big family.

The heads of the twelve poles and their deputies have been crowded and sat in a room, and they are in full swing scrambling for the rich wine and meat in front of them, like hungry ghosts reincarnated, shouting and laughing and scolding with acquaintances and strangers between eating and drinking, and two of them are about to use knives when they don't say a word, and they hurriedly take out their old qualifications and subdue them without getting wet, so as to avoid a bloody light.

This time, he deliberately slaughtered a cow, a few fat sheep and a fat pig to arrange a banquet to entertain these allies, at this time, there were constantly drunk blushing and thick necks raising the wine bowl, toasting to the upper hand of the non-mud, symbolically raising the wine bowl in front of him to deal with it, and then laughing and persuading everyone to eat and drink well. There is still a little bit of the White Tiger Festival Hall in the whole house, but it looks like a casino restaurant.

When Lu Shi came in, he couldn't help frowning, this big war was imminent, but these people were eating and drinking here, thinking that this rice fat was already in the bag, didn't they know that the deep trench of Gaocheng was so good? If you don't want to make progress, you are talking about such a person.

Seeing that Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing were coming together, he hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand, stepped forward with a mouth full of wine, took Lu Shi's hand and laughed: "Come on, sir, you are late, this wine banquet is about to end." Looking down at the soil on Lu Shi's white robe, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What?" Sir, is there something going on? ”

Lu Shi hurriedly saluted, and then said with a smile: "There is no situation, it's just that I camped just now, and I moved some soil, so I don't care." The non-muddy smelled and looked left and right, and suddenly burst out laughing. The room filled the room with laughter.

Lu Shi just replied with a smile, but Guo Tianxing was already holding the hilt of the knife and glaring angrily, making fun of his husband was more intolerable than making fun of himself, and he actually resumed his habit of being a ranger for a while, and was ready to find someone to duel.

Seeing this, Bu Mu hurriedly broke the siege and said: "Let's not talk about the battle this afternoon, then the rice fat will go down with a drum, just put these aside, you are a scribe, how do you do what the Riba people do now?" If the manpower is really insufficient, just let me know, I am tens of thousands of idlers here, where do you need a scholar to do it yourself? Seeing what Lu Shi was going to say, he hurriedly stopped: "Okay, now sit down and have a drink, and let's discuss the battle next afternoon." ”

Seeing that everyone no longer made fun of his husband, Guo Tianxing slowly let go of his hand, and then sat down on a seat in a huff.

Lu Shi greeted everyone with a smile, sat down next to Guo Tianxing, and saw that everyone began to eat and drink chaotically again, hurriedly stood up, and saluted Bu Mu: "Alliance leader, the art of war, the soldiers are fast, I think everyone has almost rested, is the alliance leader giving orders now to start the siege?" ”

Lu Shi was anxious, there was still a group of brothers in the city who needed help, and it would be dangerous to delay for a while, although he knew that this rice fat could not be swept down in one go, but if he was implicated like this, when everyone drank well, then there was no need to do anything today.

didn't burp in the mud, and seemed to remember the business, so he put down the wine bowl, sat up straight and said, "Everyone be quiet, I have something to say." ”

At this shout, the poles all lowered their wine bowls and turned their heads to wait for the alliance leader to speak.

"What Mr. said is extremely true, as the so-called soldiers are fast, and they are not prepared to attack, and now, according to the agreement, we have waited for the time for the reply of the officials and masters of Mizhi, and it seems that the few conditions I put forward are just nonsense in the eyes of those officials." Everyone burst into laughter, and then someone grabbed the bowl and began to eat and drink.

The muddy words turned around and said solemnly: "Okay, since the official master of the other government treats our request as a, then we will take the rest ourselves." ”

"Yes, yes, the old man of the official family is so ignorant, then we will take it." So everyone started to coax together.

The wine bowl in his hand slammed into the ground, and said in a fierce voice: "Don't eat, everyone, hurry up and distribute it according to the original arrangement, organize people and horses to attack the city, I ask everyone to do their best, don't do anything to preserve their strength, otherwise, the knives of our brothers who supervise the war are merciless." ”

When all the poles saw that the alliance was angry, they didn't dare to eat and drink anymore, and all the people stood up together and said loudly: "Respect the alliance master's order." Without waiting for the mud to speak, he ran out of the house with a bang, leaving a mess in the ground.

Bu Mu came to Lu Shi again, took Lu Shi's hand and said: "Now that the war is together, I have to borrow a lot of Mr. here, I can't say it, your side will be the partiality of the Tianxing master, Mr. will follow me in the Chinese army, command and dispatch in the center." ”

When Lu Shi heard this, although he was reluctant in his heart, for the sake of the overall situation, he had no choice but to agree and promised not to get muddy.

The Heavenly Star stepped forward and said urgently, "Sir-"

Lu Shi saw that Tianxing's eyes were full of worries about himself, and he couldn't help but be moved by a burst of warmth, and immediately grabbed Tianxing's warm big hand and said: "The big boss just goes, I am in this thousands of troops, and I am far away from the bow and arrow fire, and I don't have the slightest worry about safety, the big boss goes back, commands his family and horses, and attacks according to the methods I said, the better the fight there, the more chance I have to break the city here." ”

Guo Tianxing looked at Lu Shi, and then looked at the mud, the mud was also touched by his brother's feelings, and stepped forward and said: "Brother, go, Mr. is here, and it won't hurt you to keep half a hair." If there is anything, then brother, I will pay you back the whole cottage. ”

The words came to this, although Guo Tianxing was reluctant to say anything, so he carefully told Zhu Tie to guard Zhu Tie for a while, and then strode away.

Lu Shi looked at the stars that were gradually moving away, and suddenly stopped: "Brother-"

Hearing this, Guo Tianxing suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Shi with his eyes.

Lu Shi opened his mouth, but only said two words: "Take care." ”

Guo Tianxing also looked back at Lu Shi for a long time, arched his hand and replied: "Take care" and strode away.

At this time, a war drum suddenly rumbled outside the courtyard, and Lu Shi took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

A real big war began.
