Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Bandits of Weihu Village
Liu Ji and his entourage walked for more than a day in the territory of Jue County, and then entered the mountainous area on the border between Yongzhou and Wanzhou, Liu Ji immediately sent You Tong and Gong Du to explore the road in front, after all, there are many bandits in this mountainous area, and they are carrying more than 20 truckloads of grain, which is likely to become the target of the bandits.

As long as it is not a large group of bandits, with the strength in his hands at this time, Liu Ji is not too worried, and he can also take this opportunity to use a small group of bandits to practice actual combat, but Liu Ji does not want to walk into the bandits' ambush circle in a daze, in that case, even if he relies on the eight generals under his command to finally annihilate all the bandits, his own losses must be very amazing, and now Liu Ji only has 150 soldiers in his hands who have been trained for a few days, and he can't afford too much loss.
You Tong and Gong Du each rode a war horse, walked in front of the team, the distance was only less than 200 steps, both sides of the mountain road are barren mountains with heavy mountains, suddenly You Tong frowned, urged the horse to approach Gong Du, whispered a few words, Gong Du looked at the barren mountains on both sides in the distance, and then turned the horse back to the rear of the team, and You Tong controlled the war horse, stopped in the middle of the mountain road, and held the double-headed knife in his hand.
"Three masters, did the two cavalrymen in front of them notice it, why did they stop?" On a mountain about 100 steps away from Youtong, a bandit leader whispered to Zhang Xiong, the third leader of Weihu Village, and next to Zhang Xiong, the third leader of Weihu Village, and the bandit leader, there were at least nearly 200 bandits from Weihu Village ambushed here.
Zhang Xiong, the third master of Weihu Village, saw Gong Du riding a war horse and returned to the rear convoy, the convoy immediately stopped, and the soldiers escorting the carriage began to assemble in front, and immediately stood up and shouted to the bandits around him: "Sons, go down the mountain with the master of this village, don't let the fat sheep run away!" ”
As soon as Zhang Xiong's words fell, nearly 200 bandits "Hula-" suddenly stood up from the barren grass, followed by Zhang Xiong, the third master, and rushed down the mountain with a shout, and on the barren mountain opposite, nearly 200 bandits suddenly appeared, followed by a bandit leader and rushed down the barren mountain.
The bandits from the barren mountains on both sides gathered on the mountain road, and with the help of the two bandit leaders, they quickly rushed in the direction of the convoy.
You Tong, who was originally exploring the road in front, suddenly found that there was a reflection on the barren mountain in front of him, which should be emitted by the reflection of sunlight from the weapon, and immediately knew that he might have encountered bandits, so he immediately asked Gong Du to go back to report Liu Ji, and when the bandits showed their traces, You Tong also pulled his horse and withdrew to the rear convoy.
The 150 soldiers were divided into three teams, all of which were temporarily led by Le Yi, and when he learned that there might be bandits in front of him, Le Yi immediately ordered the two teams of soldiers to line up in front of the convoy into a phalanx, the phalanx was five rows, each platoon was 20 people, which was composed of two teams of small phalanxes, if separated, each small phalanx was still five rows, but the number of people in each row became 10 people.
The soldiers in the front row were all wearing leather armor and iron helmets, holding steel knives and round wooden shields wrapped in cowhides, while the soldiers in the second row only had steel knives and cowhide wooden shields, and the soldiers in the back three rows were only equipped with a wooden spear.
The weapons of the soldiers are completely because Liu Ji has such a small amount of belongings in his hands, and they are all made up by the families of Qi County, which is barely enough to equip all 150 soldiers with weapons, and the remaining auxiliary soldiers can only be empty-handed, if most of the soldiers in Qi County do not take the initiative to leave, the situation will be even worse.
Le Yi had the other team scattered on both sides of the convoy to prevent bandits from attacking the convoy from both sides.
The five generals Hua Xiong, Le Yi, You Tong, Liu Pi and Gong Du with war horses lined up in front of the phalanx on war horses, while Liu Ji with Chen Hao and Cheng Yi stood behind the phalanx, and Han Tao was left in the convoy to lead the other team of soldiers and dozens of auxiliaries.
The two bandit leaders saw that the guards of the convoy in front of them suddenly set up a phalanx, and they immediately showed surprised expressions, and then the two bandit leaders slowed down in unison, and then Zhang Xiong, the third leader, made a stop gesture to the nearly 400 bandits behind him.
"Fourth, it seems that we have encountered hard stubble!"
"Third brother, there is not much food in our cottage, and we have robbed all the Zhuangzi that can be grabbed nearby, and we finally ran into a fat sheep, but we can't let it go!"
After listening to the words of Li Qing, the third leader, Zhang Xiong, hesitated, turned back to one of the bandit leaders and said: "Send a few people to pull out the war horses of me and the four masters, it seems that we have to fight a tough battle today!" ”
Then Zhang Xiong said to Li Qing, the fourth master: "Fourth, let the sons and daughters form a team, and our brothers will go up first to test it in a while, is this group of people a silver gun wax gun head?" Our Weihu Village can be frightened by them! ”
After a while, several bandits led the two war horses, and the third leader Zhang Xiong and the fourth leader Li Qing stepped on the war horses, and slowly pressed towards Hua Xiong and the others with nearly 400 bandits who were quite neat.
"Listen to the people in front, I am Chiyunhu Zhang Xiong, the master of the three villages of Weihu Village, and this one next to me is Li Qing, the flying tiger of the fourth village of Weihu Village, if you know each other, leave the carriage and food, otherwise you will be killed and buried!" Zhang Xiong rode a war horse and roared loudly.
In fact, after getting closer, Zhang Xiong saw clearly that Hua Xiong, Le Yi, You Tong, Liu Bi and Gong Du, the five generals, were wearing finely crafted iron armor, and he couldn't help but feel a little repulsed.
However, at this time, Zhang Xiong was already in a difficult position, and he couldn't retreat in disgrace, which would be too damaging to the prestige of Weihu Village, and Zhang Xiong still had some confidence in himself and the martial arts of Li Qing, the fourth master, and he still had an advantage in numbers.
Le Yi urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and shouted loudly: "We are the soldiers and horses from Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou, who rushed to the border of Qianzhou, and please let this village master be accommodating and get out of the way!" ”
At this time, Li Qing, the fourth master, shouted loudly: "At this time, what is the difference between going to Qianzhou and sending it to death, the owner of this village sees that you might as well vote for our Weihu Village, you must know that our Weihu Village is in the mountainous area within a radius of 100 miles, and it is also one of the best cottages. ”
Le Yi shook his head and said loudly: "We understand the good intentions of this village owner, but we have a reason to go to Qianzhou to defend the border, so we will inevitably meet each other, and ask the two village owners to be accommodating." ”
Zhang Xiong, the third master, shouted: "No matter who you are, as long as you leave the carriage and food, you can go wherever you want to go to the border, and we will never stop you!" ”
Le Yi snorted coldly and shouted: "Since this is the case, it is useless to talk more, let's see the real chapter under our hands!" ”
As soon as Le Yi's words fell, Gong Du urged the horse to rush to the front of the two sides, and slashed the double-edged broadsword, "Gong Gong, the military marquis under Liu Ji of Qi County, is here, who dares to fight with me!" ”
