Zhou Huai'an's worries and backup means still did not have a chance to come in handy after all; Because it seems that the effect of these anti-water captives has quickly taken effect.

It didn't take long for them to enter, and a large number of men and horses rushed out with swords and spears, but although they seemed to be very imposing, their attitudes and formations were actually relatively scattered; Obviously, it is a kind of armed deterrence, more than the will to fight directly with the sword.

I don't know what those guys who are anti-water have played on the spot in addition to the established rhetoric, so that the other party reacted so quickly. However, these horses and horses who stayed in the mountains and Zhou Huai'an's side still sat in the grass to organize their equipment and clothes, and there was no movement or repercussions except for drinking water and eating; It was only in silence that I watched the ever-lengthening procession go away;

In what seemed to be a long wait, after watching the reflection on the corona turn more than a square, I finally heard fierce shouts and fighting, and began to faintly come from behind the mountain; At this time, Zhou Huai'an didn't even need to be distracted to give specific commands, or to boost morale or anything;

After all, under the leadership of Lao Guan and Cheng Da Biting, most of the people who were responsible for taking the lead in the ambush were experienced people who had participated in several battles; It is also an ambush warfare with mental calculations and unintentional, prepared for defenselessness and geographical advantage; If you play on your own, if you can't play well or can't gain the upper hand, then you can only find a crooked neck tree and hang yourself.

And Zhou Huai'an led the team to stay here also has more important tasks and needs. It is to guard against the possible reinforcements from the port city and the fishing village, and to combat the possibility of sabotaging the other side to merge and echo. Because according to the confessions of the previous captives, there are at least a thousand sailors and soldiers in this port city, and a different number of subordinate regiments.

A moment ago, on the other side of the nameless ridge;

The new soldier of the garrison, who squatted in the grass and endured the bite of insects and the dew-soaked back, felt that the palms of the hands holding the handle of the hammer were sweaty, and they were always a little inappropriate and unstable; But when he finally saw the columns of officers and troops scattered and loose with the running at the bottom of the mountain, it was as if he had poured a handful of cold water on his heart, and he suddenly calmed down and only had one thought left.

He was a good stonemason, because he was silent since he was a child, and he got this name from the master who picked him up.

The woman who jumped into the river before was standing closest to him and went down to pick it up with her own hands; Although it seems that the person who fished it up still has some breath, he has become stupid, like a walking corpse; Because it is said that because of the punishment of the official army, there is no one in her family now, even if she can go back to such a lonely and helpless woman, most of them will inevitably die.

reminded him of his eldest sister next door, who was a good woman who was diligent and strong, because she often sewed and washed clothes for him, and was also the object of his admiration since childhood, but he was silent and clumsy, and he never dared to put it into his mouth; Even after getting married, he is enthusiastic and does not change, and often helps his neighbors.

In a sense, this eldest sister who is also a sister and a mother is also the best woman in Shi Niu's eyes; But the unpredictable fate of the world finally fell on this diligent and kind kind woman; First, her husband, who had not been married for a long time, was arrested and sent to serve, and there has been no news since then; In the days to come, she relied on her hard work to serve her in-laws and family work.

Although I have heard her cry in private, I don't know how many times, but the strong smile in front of people has never disappeared on her face; In turn, after Shi Niu drove away and frightened away the troublemakers who gathered outside her house, he sent him a sweat towel with stitches as a thank you gift the next day. ++

Therefore, sometimes Shi Niu will be a little selfish and think, maybe it will be good to maintain it forever, and then fall into some kind of deep guilt and self-confession; What a good person the eldest sister is, she even cursed others to be separated privately, which is really a bad thing that ignores her heart.

In this kind of back-and-forth bumpy and somewhat happy mood, he kept torturing himself and poured all his strength and sweat into the stone plaque built for the family of the high master in the village. But just like the unpredictable mind of God, the misfortune that flew into the misfortune still refused to let go of this poor and self-reliant woman.

The officers and soldiers who came to suppress the thieves crossed the border, and they demanded money, food, and food, and they also had to find people to go to the labor army to lose their service; So the public who accompanied him not only used a few ropes to pull away the young men in the village, but even the women did not let go, saying that they were going to take them to do some sewing and washing chores for the officers and soldiers, not only could the family be exempted from military service, but also had something to reward in the future.

As a result, the eldest sister, who had no man in the family to recruit, was among the women who were chosen.

"Calf. I'm afraid I won't come back so soon. ”

This is the last words that the eldest sister left him with her true feelings before parting.

"You'd better find a woman to start a family, don't wait any longer."

"It's really not worth it."

But her words were not fulfilled, and she eventually returned very quickly, only in another miserable form; Because in the end, all that was brought back was the corpse that had been ruined, and the rebels could hardly see that they had once been a woman; As for the women who haven't come back yet, you can imagine what miserable things are still going on.

Then, Muramasa also said in convincing words that this was all because this woman did not know how to lift up and offended the officials and soldiers who were born and killed thieves for the imperial court, so that there was such an end; So not only is the promised exemption gone, but her family must be held accountable and implicated; As a result, the two old ones were forced to cry for half the night, and then hung at home together.

In the end, the honest man who suddenly erupted in silence also showed a fearsome side; In the end, he sold the household goods for dry food, and stayed at the intersection outside the village for five days and five nights, and when the turtle grandson who rode a donkey in the village appeared alone, he broke the other party's donkey head with a hammer, and chased after him with a sledgehammer to break the bones of his whole body section after section, and smashed it to avenge the eldest sister who was deceived and died.

After doing this kind of thing, he could not stay in the village any longer; I wanted to hide in the mountains to see if I could avoid the wind and then go to a foreign country to earn a living; But he didn't expect to faint on the road directly due to lack of preparation, and by mistake, he was picked up by the righteous army who beat Zhuangzi to give food to him.

Therefore, he also gave up his life's stonemason skills, and turned the hammer and chisel drill that smashed and chiseled stones into deadly weapons used to knock people's heads; Single-mindedly, he was here to get some justice for the poor and break a way out of the righteous army.

Of course, although it is said that Shi Niu is a new pawn in the team after a long time, he has actually been in battle several times; It's just that he was one of the vanguard of the outcasts, and he mixed in the crowd and rushed through the earthen village and the wall several times;

Because of his great strength, not only did he not die or be injured under the walls that looked like ghosts, but he also used a hammer to break the hands and feet of two or three village soldiers or Zhuang Ding; And among those homeless people who couldn't wait to disperse after eating enough food and distributing their belongings, they stood out and were selected into the garrison of the rebel army, and since then they have become an alternate soldier with a hammer without armor, and it can be regarded as avenging those official dogs for the eldest sister who died in vain.

And he also felt that this rebel army was unusual, their rules and regulations were many and very thorough, from eating, sleeping, living and training, most of them could take care of everything; Therefore, it is also clear and methodical to do things in a specific way, which is simply a world of difference from the rumors in the market that those thieves who can only kill and loot.

Especially in the back camp where he is located, even the big ones who eat the soil have special processes and steps, rather than making people loot indiscriminately; watched the miserable appearance of these former high-ranking nobles being concocted to die and live, and had to spit out the last bit of wealth; In addition to the great relief of people's hearts, it is also breathtaking, it turns out that being a rumored thief can also do this.

It's just the voice of the fire chief, and once again Shi Niu from the memories of the past, at this time, the officials and soldiers under the mountain walked very closely. And because they had traveled many times at this time, it seemed that although they had barely maintained their formation and sent out outposts, they also looked like they had responded in vain.

The location of their ambush is not very good, there are not many grass and trees on the ridge of the mountain that can be used as shelter, but it is the location that the villagers who often go up the mountain to collect firewood and grass guide and provide; It just so happened to avoid the view of looking up from the bottom of the mountain, and there was also rubble nearby that could be collected and piled up for later use. As long as you cover the branches of the newly cut trees, you will not be able to see any signs in the near distance for a short time.

Moreover, these official dogs were really negligent, and they didn't carry anything else except the swords and guns in their hands; Even the armor and robes on his body were worn crookedly and hastily, and even a corner of the bright woman's placket was exposed.

Therefore, the first to do it were the archers who lurked among the rocks and trees on the slopes on both sides; A rain of thousands of arrows was radiated, like a swarm of locusts startled from the grass in the summer, and flew into the middle of the densest group of the crowd, splashing up a little bit of blood and rolling on the ground.

Then there were the rocks that rolled down the hillside one after another, and although most of them involuntarily deviated from the route and direction during the rolling, there were still some that happened to fall straight into the officers and soldiers who could not dodge, and suddenly smashed out a bloody mess of bones and flesh.
