Chapter 200: Take the initiative

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and people were unlucky to drink cold water and stuffed their teeth.

The village is no longer as relaxed and lively as it used to be, and everyone is on alert. Especially the three hundred soldiers of Lanxi Zhichong Mansion, at this time, their eyes were already red with anger, one by one the knives were unsheathed, the bows were wound, and the spears were clenched in both hands, waiting for a battle.

Li Xiao tried his best to appease these soldiers who had lost more than a dozen of their comrades, and he was still waiting for news from Wang Fangyi.

But time passed little by little, and there was no reply.

On the contrary, the town soldiers of Lantian Pass have been getting closer and closer, and the soldiers are under the village wall.

At a distance of only a hundred paces, thousands of men and horses had surrounded them.

Torches burned, illuminating the outside of the village as if it were day. The newly sprouted crops were trampled by them.

"Qin Xiong, you are so bold that you dare to lead your troops to rebel, attack Minzhuang, and plunder and harm the people. Now the town will be ordered by the government hall to lead troops to rebel. If you know each other, quickly open the gate of the village and surrender, otherwise, when you will attack the villa, you will be killed! ”

Zhao Zhiman rode to the front of the village, holding a horse lance, and the sound was like a bell.

When Captain Qin heard this on the wall, he angrily picked up his bow and shot it.

This arrow was as fast as a meteor, but it was shot away by Zhao Zhiman.

Li Xiao shook his head.

It seems that Wang Fangyi and the three of them are like meat buns beating dogs and never going back, and now this Zhao Zhi is full of iron heart to attack Zhuangzi, this is harboring evil intentions. This also proves more and more the guess in Li Xiao's heart, this surnamed Zhao is really not a good bird.

"What now?"

Liu County Ling asked Li Xiao.

Captain Qin jumped down from the wall, drew his sword out of the sheath in his hand, "So far, what else is there to say, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, and fight with them." ”

Li Xiao thought about the torches outside like a dragon, and felt that although there were many people on his side, they were not as elite as others, and even the three hundred soldiers in Zhichong Mansion were far inferior to others.

After all, they are perennial guards.

"I don't know what happened to Wang Qianniu and them." A Chang'an ranger said.

"Needless to say, it must have been detained." Li Xiaodao.

Things are really troublesome, this Zhao Zhiman is full of iron heart to attack the village, it seems that not only does he want to seize the corn, but he even has the intention of killing people and planting dirt.

They clearly wanted to use the people of Lanxi Zhichong Mansion as scapegoats, so as to cover the previous cavalry who also came to seize corn under the orders of the political hall.

Since people want to kill their mouths, there is nothing to talk about.

I want to wait for the rescue, but it is difficult to solve the fire from afar.

As long as this Zhao Zhi broke the Zhuangzi before dawn and killed someone at that time, it would be a death without proof.

It is impossible to be reasonable, you can't fight it, and it's too late to wait for reinforcements, it's really a dead end.

Li Xiao looked at the villagers, government soldiers, and rangers around him, and then behind him, the villagers of Lijiazhuang, as well as Wanniang with a stomach, his lovely sister Li Zhen, the elderly Mr. Zhao, Mr. Yang and a group of family members.

This can't be allowed to be a battlefield.

He didn't want to see everyone fall.

Outside, there was the sound of Zhao Jun making a pre-attack movement.

Pressed for time.

Qin Duwei is now determined to fight to the death with Zhao Zhiman, and Wang Xianwei and the others have no other way, as for the Chang'an rangers, at this time, they are in the midst of inner collapse and chaos, and if they really fight for a while, it is still unknown whether they can help them.

"Surrender." Li Xiao said three words.

Qin Duwei glared angrily, "What are you talking about?" The same three words, but full of murderous spirit.

"The current situation is invincible, only outwitted, I have a plan, but it is very risky, and I still need Captain Qin to cooperate with me, but I don't know if Captain Qin dares to give it a try?" Li Xiao excited.

"You make it clear, as long as you don't let the old man really surrender, the rest is easy to say."

"I realized that after a while, I shouted outside the village, and said that we found an opportunity to capture the captain, and forced the soldiers to open the village and let us out, and let Zhao Zhiman let us go."

"And then?" Qin Duwei asked.

Then, I and some people, such as Wang Xianwei, pretended to escort Qin Duwei into Zhao Zhiman's army, and he would definitely see Duwei at that time. As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, and then take Zhao Zhiman, and force his subordinates to break the siege and retreat.

Li Xiao's plan is very risky, and the success rate is actually very low, after all, in front of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can it be so easy to arrest the main general.

But Li Xiao thought about it, and it seemed that the only way to avoid casualties was to take a risk.

You can't really come to Lijiazhuang to defend the battle and kill a river of blood, right?

"The old man did not spare this life, but Zhao Zhiman is a man of great bravery, but he is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and it is not easy to capture him alive in front of his soldiers and horses."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Qin Duwei smiled.

"You're a doll with a lot of blood, and it's a good bet, a bit like when I was young. Anyway, it's a dying person, so it's better to fight. ”

The old lieutenant agreed, and Li Xiao asked those rangers again, after all, they are all children of nobles, and they learn to ride and shoot when they are young, and their martial arts are not comparable to ordinary government soldiers. And their identities are also easier for Zhao Zhiman to believe.

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a long time, and finally someone took the lead to speak.

"If I can avoid a senseless sword fight, I'm willing to take this risk together."

"I would too."

"I do."

·······

"San Lang, if you can really capture that Zhao Zhiman, then you will send a signal outside, and when we see it, we will open the gate of the village and send troops to raid the enemy soldiers." Tamase made additional comments.

"It's okay, if the rebels refuse to withdraw when the time comes, and when they can't hold each other, we will send a signal, and you will rush out when you see the signal."

After a simple discussion, everyone soon understood Li Xiao's plan, and everyone made their own preparations for the soldiers, village heroes, and rangers.

In the end, Li Xiao chose eighteen people to accompany him, and there were too many people for fear that the other party would be suspicious, so he would not let them get close at that time. There were fewer people, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to successfully capture Zhao Zhiman, so I finally chose eighteen of the best.

"I'll go with you." Tamase offered to go with him, "I'm a woman, you can pretend to be your daughter, so that Zhao Zhiman can lower his vigilance." ”

"Okay." Li Xiao was not polite at this time, he knew that the princess was also proficient in riding and archery, and she danced well with a long sword.

Everything was ready, Li Xiao asked people to open the gate of the village, and then eighteen of them rushed out with the five-flowered Qin Duwei, and a group of government soldiers behind pretended to chase after them.

"Don't come here, or I'll kill Qin Xiong!" Li Xiao put a horizontal knife on the neck of Qin Duwei, and shouted at the Lanxi Mansion soldiers behind him, and the voice spread into the distance, so that the Lantian Guan Town soldiers who heard the movement and were leaning over could hear it clearly!
