The more than 1,200 people led by Cheng Zuo were divided into three roads, and 400 people from each road lurked near the three villages. After two days of waiting, they found that some sneaky people began to appear one after another.

It had already been found out that these sneaky people were Li Dingguo's subordinates, but Chengzuo did not move them, and continued to wait for their army to arrive. Sure enough, after the spies found nothing wrong, an army of more than 2,000 people finally appeared in the evening of the same day.

To Chengzuo's surprise, this time Li Dingguo's subordinates did not divide their troops to attack the three villages, but directly concentrated their forces to attack Zhangjia Village. Facing the mighty more than 2,000 people, Chengzuo hesitated for a while whether to attack.

After all, there are only 400 subordinates around him at the moment, and if he rushes out now, he really has no certainty about who will win or lose. But if he didn't attack as soon as possible and stop the fierce enemy army, Zhangjiacun would inevitably suffer. The small Zhangjia Village couldn't withstand the impact of more than 2,000 regular troops at all, and thinking of this, Cheng Zuo hesitated for a while.

With the safety of Zhangjiacun on the one hand, and the lives of himself and his four hundred subordinates on the other, Chengzuo fell into a difficult choice. By the time others have just come to help, there is not enough time.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Cheng Zuo knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he immediately sent two people to inform the other two villages to come over for reinforcements. After that, he drew his saber and killed the enemy who was rushing towards Zhangjia Village.

"Kill ......"

The Dongjiang Army has never been a bad breed, and they have never taken their lives seriously when they go to the battlefield. It is their belief that they would rather die than insult the military prestige of the Dongjiang Army.

The Dongjiang army that rushed out halfway first made Li Dingguo's subordinates panic for a while, and when they saw that there were only a few hundred people killed, everyone calmed down. After that, they started to get excited, and it was clear that neither of them thought they would be the ones to lose.

There is nothing to talk nonsense, the two armies collided in an instant, and then they fought together. The cries of killing and screaming immediately erupted, causing the birds in the forest to fly away in panic.

Because Zhangjiacun had received Chengzuo's instructions in advance, no one dared to come out to work under the iron order of the patriarch. What's more, it was almost dusk, and the villagers were all staying in the village, and suddenly they heard the earth-shattering sound of killing, and they panicked to find out what was going on.

Soon, some villagers ran outside the village and saw the Dongjiang army and bandits fighting fiercely. The tense atmosphere permeated the sky over Zhangjia Village, and there were more than 2,000 bandits this time.

"Patriarch, there are not many soldiers in Dongjiang, and it looks like it won't last long, should we rush out to help?" A stout man found the patriarch who had rushed out of the house and immediately asked questions.

"What are you helping, this is two armies fighting, you think it's bandits fighting!" The patriarch was so angry that his old face turned red, and he scolded the stout man who inquired.

"But those Dongjiang troops were kind to us before, haven't you always taught us that kindness will be repaid? Why are you still teaching me a lesson? "The rough man is none other than the eldest son of the patriarch, who is usually a group practitioner in Zhangjia Village, and he still has some real kung fu under his hands.

"You're not convinced, are you?"

The patriarch directly scolded again: "The Dongjiang Army is kind to us, and we will naturally have to find a way to repay the favor in the future." But no one is allowed to go out under any circumstances today, and if anyone dares to step out of the village to fight those bandits, I will break his dog's leg first. ”

Seeing the Dongjiang army die in battle was certainly not what the patriarch hoped. But he understands better that if the people of Zhangjia Village will also participate in the war, once they are defeated afterwards, it is very likely that Zhangjia Village will be retaliated against by these so-called bandits, and it is possible that the entire village will be killed in every minute.

Gambling with the lives of the whole village, the patriarch thought that there was no need for this. The purpose of these bandits, he had already heard, was nothing more than to ask for money, for some external possessions, to put the lives of the whole village in it, which was a stupid approach.

The patriarch's resolute scolding finally shook the prime of the village, and no one dared to disobey his words. Seeing this, the patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, and afterwards let these prime men stay in the village and follow his orders.

There is no movement in Zhangjia Village here, but Chengzuo over there is already in danger. At this moment, Chengzuo has been besieged by more than 2,000 enemy regiments, and although the Dongjiang Army fought bravely to kill the enemy, the enemy's strength was five times that of its own. It is difficult to defeat four fists with both hands, and it is strange that it is not critical in such a situation.

"General, we'll escort you out first." A guard backhanded a bandit to death and yelled at Chengzuo.

"What to go? No one is allowed to retreat, kill me! Cheng Zuo didn't appreciate it at all, and the saber was wielding in his hand.

The guards were embarrassed, and it was difficult to hold on to the situation in front of them until others came to reinforce them. If you don't take advantage of the fact that the Dongjiang Army still has a little strength to escape, you can escort Chengzuo to escape, but wait until the end, then Chengzuo will be really dangerous.

However, Cheng Zuo's resolute response, the personal guards also had no way, they had no choice, so they had to do their best to guard Cheng Zuo's side to ensure his safety.

stabbed the enemy in front of him with a knife, Cheng Zuo suddenly looked up, as if looking for something? When the guards saw it, they hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the general?" ”

Cheng Zuo yelled angrily: "Find out the leader of the enemy army for Lao Tzu, capture the thief and capture the king first, kill their leader, we still have a chance." ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and those guards immediately took action, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were naturally much better than Chengzuo's eyes. With the help of more than a dozen personal guards, the location of the enemy leader was quickly found.

After Cheng Zuo got revenge, he rushed forward without saying a word: "Cover me and kill me." ”

More than a dozen guards suddenly agreed, automatically guarding Cheng Zuo's left and right, and rushed quickly towards the place where the leader of the enemy army stood in unison with him.

The leader of the enemy army was a man in his mid-thirties, who was closely watching the changes on the battlefield. At this moment, seeing that his subordinates had completely suppressed the enemy who suddenly appeared, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cheng Zuo's dozen people quickly killing him.

The strong man was not shocked but overjoyed, obviously he was more confident in his skills, thinking that he would follow Li Dingguo out to fight the country, and he had experienced nearly 100 battles in large and small battles, and he had never encountered a real opponent. What's more, there are just a dozen unknown people in front of them who are facing threats at any time. The strong man did not hesitate at all, immediately shouted, and led nearly 100 soldiers to meet Chengzuo and them.
