Gou clan land.

Now, after a night of blood and fire, it is already a mess.

As the last place to hold on, the Gou clansmen and other old clansmen who had no way to retreat resisted the invading bandits, but in the end they could not withstand the bandits who were as numerous as locusts.

Gou Wushu held a long sword, and under the light of the fire, although this counselor despised the untouchables very much, he also retained the glory of his old clan - the responsibility of defending the land!

At the gate of the Gou clan, Ge Bao personally rushed to the west gate of the mansion, where he encountered the most stubborn resistance of the Gou clan, and it can really be said that every step is fought out with blood.

Ge Leopard had people fill it with hay, and after lighting it, he rushed towards the last remnants of the old clan.

Gou Wushu came to the West Gate, taking the lead, although he was not good at martial arts, but he was able to do this step, which also showed the heart of the old clan to fight to the death without retreat.

Finally, when Gou Wushe's robe was stained with Mars, the counselor of the martial kingdom raised his long sword and said angrily: "Fight for the ancestors of the old clan!" ”

The Gou clan and other clansmen were inspired by it, and everyone fought to the death.

However, in the end, the locust-like bandits captured the Gou clan's land.

Gou Wushe looked at the bandits who came from the rear, and finally shouted sadly: "Old clan! ”

Then he drew his sword and killed himself.

Ma Dalong used Changge to pick up Gou Wushe's corpse, and then spat at it: "Damn! There are so many people left, and it's so hard to bite! ”

It happened that the bandits who had retreated from Xiao'an to Jianyang, under the leadership of Ma Zhong and Ma Dahu, father and son, finally caught up with the end of the encirclement and suppression of the Gou clan by the bandit army.

The Gou clan land that gradually subsided, Ma Bo glanced at the miserable situation at hand, and said: "Let the corpse be collected and burned, the weather is hot these days, I'm afraid it will stink, this Gou clan land is a good thing, it is much more magnificent than the Thorn Yang Mansion, the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, and it just occupies a nest!" ”

Ma Zhong also rushed over and greeted Ma Bo.

Ma Dalong was the first to speak: "Dad, I want to take someone to Shuyang!" ”

"No!" Ge Bao on the side directly refused: "Father-in-law, Brother Long, we must not be like this, we are still far away from Fangcheng Mountain, there are two cities of Miyang and Wuyin, if we turn around and fight Huaiyang now, Xiao Chang'anju, who has withdrawn the main force, will definitely not be able to stop the offensive of the official army, and then we may be attacked by the enemy!" ”

Hearing Ge Bao's direct refusal, Ma Dalong also frowned, and choked back directly at Ge Bao: "! Huayang is the place where Lao Tzu grew up, how many officials and soldiers are around, Lao Tzu is clear, when there are hundreds of people on the water, he is not afraid of any government, and now there are so many people, afraid of a ball! ”

Hearing this, Ge Bao didn't say anything, but looked at his father-in-law, and now he is the only one who can make a decision.

Ma Bo looked at Ma Zhong and said, "Second brother, what do you mean?" ”

Listening to all this, although the old lady Ma knew that going to Huayang at this time was by no means a good way out, but when he thought that the prince of Wancheng who murdered the Ma clan was in Huayang, the death of his three sons was indispensable to the instructions of His Royal Highness, so when he thought of this, Ma Zhong said: "Big brother, it's okay to go once, maybe you can gain more!" ”

Hearing what the second uncle said, Ma Dalong took a step further and said: "Dad, I don't want many people, I can do it down in these thousands of old clans, not to mention those soft-footed shrimp in Shuyang, give me 2,000 people, I will definitely be able to take Shuyang!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Bo was a little angry, first scolded Ma Dalong, and then turned to Ge Bao and said: "Don't ignore the movement over there in Shuyang, Leopard, according to my meaning, the officers and troops over there in Shuyang are too close to us, and if they are so close, I am afraid that they will be copied by someone, so my father-in-law also intends to hurt the official army of Shuyang and return to Shuyang locally!" ”

As he said, Ge Bao still had the meaning of refusing, and immediately nodded to Ma Bo, but still said: "Father-in-law, I occupied this Gou clan land today, but the casualties were heavy, but the benefits were also huge, the soldiers and grain and grass, this Gou clan is really a lot, Leopard means to rest for a day in this Gou clan land, and select some available people to make up for the casualties of the front army." ”

"No!" Seeing that his father agreed with his own meaning, Ma Dalong would not care about Ge Bao's meaning, and immediately refused: "Didn't the second uncle bring all the people left by Xiao Chang'an Ju this time, plus the current Gou clan picked out some of them, which is enough for me to knock down Shuyang." ”

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that his son was so willful, Ma Bo also scolded angrily, drank Ma Dalong and continued.

After a pause, he slowly spoke: "This night of fighting the Gou clan territory has also made the people under his hands tired, and this Gou clan land has also hoarded a lot of food and wine, so they should be allowed to eat and drink!" ”

Seeing this, Ge Bao also nodded and didn't speak.

Ma Dalong saw that his father said this, what else could he say, but secretly he clenched his fists, and he also minded Ge Bao's previous words in his heart.

Sure enough, after a day's rest, the Huayang side was still honest, Ge Bao had carefully arranged for Xiao Chang'an to gather the retreating bandit army to prevent the sneak attack of the official army in Shuyang, but there was no movement for a day.

So much so that Ma Dalong smiled at his second uncle Ma Zhong and cousin Ma Dahu: "I think Ge Bao is teasing his second uncle and cousin, those soft-footed shrimp in Shuyang are afraid that it is good to see that our legs are not soft, where do you dare to touch the tiger's buttocks!" ”

Ma Zhong, who was once honored as the old lady Ma by the Huaiyang Wharf, how could he not understand the careful thinking in Ma Dalong's heart, but obviously his revenge has not been avenged, this internal is by no means a place that can be divided now, and he comforted Ma Dalong at the moment and said: "Dalong, you are the eldest son of my Ma clan after all, your father also knows this, he can handle it lightly, Ge Bao has a talent, your father also wants to win him over you like this, and he will serve you in the future!" ”

Hearing this, sure enough, Ma Dalong's previous complaints were gone, and then he left Ma Zhong's side with a smile.

After Ma Dalong left, Ma Zhong's face slowly stiffened, and now in the second generation of the Ma family, the main character Ma Dalong has courage and no strategy, since he became a water bandit, he is cowardly, and the only one who is optimistic is that Ge Leopard.

But looking at Ma Dalong's thoughts, now that he and the boss are pressing, there will be no accidents, if he and the boss are not there in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate Ge Leopard according to Ma Dalong's belly, at that time, can he still take revenge?

Therefore, Ma Zhong also thought that he wanted to take revenge, so he decided to take down Shuyang in his own generation, slaughter the prince of Wancheng, and then wash away those clans in Huaiyang.

Because, for these quietly emerging internal contradictions in the Ma clan, before he avenges his son-killing revenge, Ma Zhong can still suppress the signs of division within these clans.

But those days are coming to an end!

Ma Zhong looked in the direction of Shuyang, maybe it was tomorrow, maybe it was the day after tomorrow, and these bandits under his hands would set foot on the land of Shuyang and carry out a bloodbath!

Ge Bao is indeed a general, in just one day, he selected some young and strong, plus the weapons taken from Gou's side, quickly equipped an army, and these weapons from the border army, but the lethality is not shallow, after a day of adjustment, the combat effectiveness of the bandit army has not decreased, but has greatly improved.

When Ma Dalong saw Ge Bao reorganized this bandit army, he couldn't help but relax a little bit about what Ge Bao said before, and it looked like it was indeed much stronger.

In this way, on the day of 18 August, the reorganized 4,000 bandit troops marched to the border between Jianyang and Shuyang, where the officers and troops were hoarding in Shuyang.

As Ma Bo arranged, Ma Dalong led hundreds of front troops, and Ge Bao commanded most of the bandit army behind.

Ma Dalong collected a few tall horses from the hunting grounds of the Gou clan and rode one out.

It was only a half-day trip, and it was rushed to the military camp of the Shuyang Army in Jianyang.

Ma Dalong looked at the so-called officials and soldiers in Shuyang on the opposite side, laughed, and said to the people under his hands: "Why do I look at the officials and soldiers in Shuyang and look at the people and horses who are fighting with the old clan of Jianyang...... Haha......"

The distance between the front and back of the four thousand bandit army is only one mile, and what Ma Dalong can see, Ge Bao is naturally clear.

For the opposite side of the official army in Shuyang, he still heard of it, if it weren't for the imperial court to establish this army with the goal of "leveling bandits", a pair would not use his own chess piece, after all, there is the protection material support of the Ma clan in the south, and the protection of Xiao Chang'anju in the north, and the life of the Ma clan in Shushui is not too easy these years.

This Pingyang bandit army is adapted from the original defenders of Shuyang City, and it has only been an army for more than a month, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a militia, because Ge Bao is not suspicious of the state of the bandit army on his side.

Ma Dalong raised Changge in front of him to ask Ge Bao if he wanted to send troops, Ma Dalong originally disdained this move, but during this period of time, Ge Bao was mostly in charge of the war, so this is also a subconscious move.

Ge Bao drew his sword and quickly swung it down, and the gongs and drummers around him quickly beat the gongs and drums.

As long as Ge Bao's front army is a regular army, and most of the others are coerced people, they can't understand the words of "Mingjin Collect Troops", Ge Bao passed only one order to this army - when the gongs and drums sound, the only way to do it is to keep moving forward and retreat to death!

Ma Dalong Changge stood sideways, then looked at the official army of Shuyang on the opposite side, and immediately began to rush to kill: "Kill me!" ”

Suddenly, the bandit army rushed to the official army on the side of Shuyang like a tide.
