After more than ten days of marching, 'Shi Qian' finally came to the vicinity of Qili Village. They passed through more than a dozen large villages and towns along the way, so they were no longer a thousand people when they set out, but more than 3,000 people, that is, they were wrapped in more than 2,000 people. Among them, more than 500 young and strong people have been placed in the team, and other old and weak women and children are following behind.

At this time, he looked at Qilizhai, which had already closed the gate of the village, sneered, and said in a low voice: "I said, I will come back!" ”

"Big brother, they're on guard, how can they fight?" A thief who fled with Shi Qian two months ago asked.

'Shi Qian' scolded: "We are walking so slowly, even the deaf and blind know that we are coming!" You guys are grabbing silk one by one! Rob a woman! Drink until you can't get up the next day! You idiots who can't get on the table! ”

"This, this, isn't it all like this?" The subordinate said aggrievedly.

Shi Qian ignored it and reflexively joined his ranks. His big tent was in an abandoned village near Qilizhai, where three families who were unwilling to pay rent and taxes to Li Yan lived, and these people have now become captives of the 'time migration'.

At this time, there are already many leaders gathered here, don't look at their number, but they are all a combination of several bandits, and they are usually in charge of their own affairs. Therefore, the work of these leaders must be done first, otherwise there is a risk of breaking up the team.

"Brothers!" 'Shi Qian' hugged his fists to everyone and said: "Although I also robbed some things along the way, compared to this Qili Village, those robbers are not worth anything!" If you see the little lady in the stockade, you will know that you have a pile of dead meat on your bed! If you see the weapons in the stockade, you know that you are holding burning sticks in your hands! ”

For these leaders, they are well fed, they have women, and what can arouse their interest is more beautiful women and better weapons. Don't look at them all as farmers or craftsmen before, but the truth that there is force is everything, and maybe this is not a profound truth at all.

"Boss, when will you fight?" One of the leaders asked, nonchalant. They don't dare to say anything about the county seat, but they are still sure that they will go down with a drum.

"I heard that there are Neiying's brothers in the county, I don't care about these women's weapons or anything, I want to go around the county." The other leader said unhurriedly.

Shi Qian said loudly: "This small village does not need so many people, leaving three hundred brothers, plus two hundred new arrivals, and five hundred old and weak are enough." Everyone else followed Brother Huang to attack the county seat, what do you think? ”

"Good! I Yang Datou stayed, and saw the beautiful little ladies in this village, hahaha! ”

"I'm going to the county seat, and I'll sit in the county lord's yamen for two days."

……

Everyone reported their whereabouts so much, and soon, the troops were distributed.

"Okay, all the brothers have a place to go, then let's have a good rest tonight and start attacking tomorrow." 'Time Shifts,' commanded in a loud voice.

"Let's fight now, it's still half an hour before it's dark." One of the leaders said obscenely: "Our brothers can still play with the beautiful girls in the village at night." ”

'Shi Qian' is afraid that he is so anxious, and with the defensive ability he saw last time, this frizzy person will definitely be beaten up, so he has to wait for tomorrow to fight well. So he smiled: "The stockade has been surrounded, and the little lady inside can't run away, so don't be in a hurry at this time." ”

"Let me tell you, I can't think about it now, hahaha!" The leader continued to laugh lewdly.

It took a lot of saliva to persuade the leaders to come down so that they could act in unison tomorrow. Then it was time for the camp to play, and the thieves gathered around the fire, pushing and shoving the snatched women, making them dance and sing in gorgeous clothes. The lewd clamor of the men, the screaming and scolding of the women, and the singing of the tune of the song, could be heard far away in the night.

In the village, the three brothers Li Yan looked around the village, arranged patrol personnel, and stopped near the gate of the village, where the largest group of thieves was stationed.

"There must be two or three thousand of them, right?" Li Yan asked.

Li Mou, as a former rebel, said: "It's hard to say, their number is not only the soldiers who went into battle, but also their families, the old and weak, women and children, all of which can be used as combat troops. ”

"How many arrows do we have, especially crossbow arrows?" Li Yan asked. These days, there are constantly arrows and crossbows sent by the county, and he has no latest statistics.

"Two hundred crossbows were just delivered this afternoon, and four crossbows." Li Zhong replied: "Fortunately, the thieves haven't come at that time, otherwise our strength will be much less." Now there were thirty-two crossbows and one thousand and one thousand arrows. There were also three hundred bows and arrows. ”

Li Yan nodded and asked, "What about the grain, how long can we use it?" "Vegetables and yellow rice have just been planted in the fields, and after this war, I don't know how many will remain?

Li Zhong said: "There is no problem with eating for two months. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Li Yan nodded and said. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Li Zhong and asked, "What about the water?" How long does it last? ”

Li Zhong was also stunned, thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, I haven't prepared much water, at most, it can be used for three or five days." ”

"It's bad, if there is no water, I won't be able to hold on for a day." Li Mu said worriedly.

Li Yan frowned and said, "In other words, we must deal with these thieves within five days!" ”

"Why don't we rob the camp tonight?" Li Mu touched his beard and suggested.

Li Zhong persuaded: "How many can you kill?" Fifty? A hundred? We're just a few people, if there are a few less, how can we keep it? ”

"What then?" Li Mu said with some excitement: "They surrounded our stockade and attacked in many ways, we don't even have enough manpower to patrol, so how can we defend it?" can only surprise them, beat them at once, and let them collapse without a fight! ”

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Just the three of us go out, we have to catch a few thieves tonight and come back, knowing ourselves and knowing each other can survive a hundred battles." ”

Li Mu suggested: "Why don't you have a fire attack?" If you can't burn them, you can scare them to death! ”

"We have a night," Li Yan said, "first let people prepare the things that start the fire, lamp oil, and torches." Then let's go catch a few more thieves and see what they plan to do with us? ”

"Well, there's one night anyway, just let them live a little longer." Li Mu nodded and agreed to Li Yan's proposal.

Li Zhong said: "That's it! Now go and take a break, and then do it later. ”
