Malad also knows that this is close to the local camp, and when he set up camp, he also made corresponding precautions, and at night it has doubled the patrol post, but there is a kind of bug called martial arts master in this world, they and the official army may not be able to go head-on, but when it comes to night sneak attacks, this is their forte, hidden weapons, hidden attacks, killing, and a series of tricks are used, those patrols were quickly swept away, and the rest of the story goes without saying, anyway, when it was dawn, Malad gathered the defeated soldiers, and the original three hundred green battalions only found more than two hundred, there are only more than 100 people left in the two hundred villages. When the battlefield was cleaned, more than 70 corpses were counted, and the remaining numbers were estimated to have escaped.

"How so! How so! Marad's mood dropped from yesterday's clouds to the current bottom, and the original easy and happy journey to fortune became the road to death, and the three hundred people who came this time were the most capable of fighting in the Tongshan camp, and he lost almost fifty people at once, and I am afraid that Huang Guerrilla will cut off his own head when he goes back.

Chen Jialuo on the side also looked like he was out of his mind, and kept muttering, "How to explain to the magistrate now!" The prefect will come to Fuding in the near future to inspect the construction of the embankment, if he sees that Fuding is now in chaos like this, I am afraid that my lord's top will not be guaranteed! ”

Well? When it comes to fighting, Malad may not be very good at it, but he is very good at being an official, and when he heard Chen Jialuo's complaints, he quickly thought of an idea to evade responsibility! Since the magistrates are afraid of losing their crowns, the guerrillas will probably not want to expose the news of the disastrous defeat of the official army, so that they may be able to find a way to live.

"Mr. Luo, you see that we definitely have no way to attack the Evil Tiger Village now, if we continue to stay here, first, the food will not be enough to eat, and secondly, if the thieves come again at night, I am afraid that the lower officials will not be able to protect Mr. Thoroughly!" In Malad's opinion, Chen Jialuo is a literati, and literati have always been afraid of death, so he might as well scare him first, if he orders the withdrawal of troops, his responsibility will be less.

"What? And come! Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to stay here? Just as he thought, Chen Jialuo immediately showed a frightened expression and grabbed Malade's arm, "Then I will leave everything to the general, but the general has orders, and he will fully cooperate with the later life." It's a pity that although the other party coaxed, he just didn't say anything about withdrawing troops.

"Since the master said that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, then let's go back to the county seat!" , Marad said loudly, or threw the responsibility to Chen Jialuo. Gather the defeated soldiers, put the corpses on the cart and place them, and hundreds of people lost their yesterday's demeanor and walked back dejectedly.

"I estimate that they should also go to the Evil Tiger Village, Yan Zhixian, please rest assured, the sons and daughters under this official are all brave and good at fighting, Lord Zhixian, you are waiting for the good news!" In the past two days, Xinyan has to run to Tongshan Camp three times a day, but Huang Kui is not much worried, and he keeps comforting him for the sake of saying good things to Xinyan when the time comes.

Before Huang Kui's bragging words were finished, a personal soldier broke in, "My lord, it's not good, someone saw the horse guard leading the men and horses back, and they looked like they had lost the battle!" ”

The words of the pro-soldier gave Huang Kui a resounding slap in the face, and he was bragging that you would give me this? Don't you see anyone else in the house? Is there anything you can't say again? Before the words of the scolding could be spoken, I heard the magistrate next to him exclaim, "What! The horse garrison was defeated? ”

"Hehe, don't panic, Lord Zhixian, maybe the people below are wrong!" , Huang Kui turned his head and squeezed out a smile, and immediately turned his head again and scolded, "Don't spread rumors in the army, and don't go down to inquire clearly!" ”

"Wait!" , Lu Feiqing turned out from behind Xinyan, leaned into Huang Kui's ear and whispered, "My lord, if your army really has occasional setbacks, don't let others know!" If someone goes to the prefect, I'm afraid it will be bad for you! ”

Huang Kui reacted at this time, and also replied in a low voice, "Thank you Mr. Lu for reminding me, and the officials will take care of it." He frowned and circled around the house a few times, and then commanded, "You can ride out of the city now and inform the horse garrison, let him suspend the march, and come back when it gets dark, and if anyone asks along the way, take it on the spot!" ”

Xin Yan and Lu Feiqing looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and sure enough, the chief helmsman guessed that this guy really wanted to keep things in Fuding County! The reason for entering the city after dark was to prevent more people from knowing the news of the defeat, and the same was done to block the news of passers-by. Although such a big thing can't be hidden after all, it's always good to have a few more days to react.

After receiving this news, Malad also quickly understood the meaning of the guerrilla lord, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his top has been preserved in a short time. Chen Jialuo was at the back of the team to appease the warden Li Xiuxian, who was shot in the chaos last night, hitting the root of the thigh, although it was not fatal, but I am afraid that he would not have the energy to take care of the affairs of the yamen in a short time.

At night, Malad quietly returned to the city with the people, and he and Chen Jialuo were immediately taken to Huang Kui's room, and there were also Xin Yan and Lu Feiqing in the house; The five of them carefully discussed the aftermath, according to Huang Kui, this time it was just a mistake to fall into the enemy's tricks, and when the rest is over, the next time they send troops, they will be able to directly smash the thieves' lair. But Xin Yan asked about the time of the next time he sent troops, and he began to talk about him again, obviously not wanting to send troops again.

After a night of discussion, the two sides finally came up with an acceptable plan, announcing to the outside world that the official army had defeated the thieves of the evil tiger village and killed many enemies, but the officers and troops also suffered casualties and were ready to fight again after resting. As for reporting to their superiors and asking for reinforcements, neither side said anything, and they planned to keep the matter in Fuding County. Anyway, there are not many scholars outside Fuding, as long as they are greeted well, as for the common people, presumably those adults in Fucheng will not pay attention.

Finally got the right caliber, and when Huang Kui was about to go back to rest, Chen Jialuo asked a new question, "My lord, although the current level has passed, the thieves in the Evil Tiger Village are still there, what if they want to go down the mountain to loot again?" ”

As long as you don't hit the county seat! I don't care if the rich people in the village live or die! Huang Kui scolded in his heart, of course, he couldn't say this, he asked rhetorically, "I don't know what Mr. Luo has to say?" ”

Chen Jialuo pondered for a moment, "The lower officials have a strategy, I don't know if to talk about it or not?" ”
