Chapter 0219 In the meantime

The group of people was chatting about it, and before they knew it, they had come to a green grass clearing at the foot of the mountain, only to see a group of people walking out of the mountains and forests at this time, led by Ling Dan who was dressed in green, followed by thirty or fifty minions, wrapped in the crowd.

Zhao Bantou turned his head sideways and suppressed his voice to Lu Fei, "Master, you are going to marry a girl from the Ling family, what should you do with the eldest lady?" ā€

Lu Fei's face froze when he asked this, he really didn't think about how to tell Yun Niang, although he had this idea for a long time to marry Ling Ning, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, no matter what, he had to wait until these relationships were straightened out, so that everyone could accept it before he could take action, and now Ling Da is taking his sister's marriage as a bargaining chip, and it is impossible to do it sooner, fortunately, Lu Fei thinks that he knows some Yun Niang, and she can understand.

Lu Fei didn't answer, Zhao Bantou shook his head and helped Lu Fei get off the horse.

Ling Dan bowed his hand to Lu Fei from a distance, quite in the style of a heroine in the rivers and lakes, "Lord Lu really came as promised, I have prepared a roster of more than 300 mouths up and down the mountain plus all the money and food, just wait for the adults to come and check it."

Lu Fei took Zhao Bantou and walked towards Ling Dan, saying as he walked, "There are many good things, this Zhao'an matter can finally be concluded today, Ling Da has worked hard."

Zhao Bantou stretched out his hand and put away the roster handed by Ling Dan.

Ling Dan turned around and whispered to Yun Niang in the crowd, "Yun Niang, I have no choice but to do this, don't blame me, Ling Ning has suffered too much in her life, as her only relative in the world, I think she will live a happier life in the future, you can understand the mind of being a sister."

Yun Niang smiled generously, "The big boss has a lot of heart, there is just an unfinished kindness between Yun Niang and Lord Lu, and now that Sister Ling is by Lord Lu's side, it's too late for me to be happy."

Ling Dan knew that what she said was not all sincere, but she still said gratefully, "Whether what you said is true or not, I thank you"

Yun Niang nodded, a hint of bitterness flashing on her smiling face.

As more and more bandits descended from the mountain in the green grass clearing, it became noisy, and the two groups of people who usually had forces and water and fire stood opposite each other.

Ling Dan looked at Lu Fei and said, "Lord Lu, I said that everyone is suspicious about Zhao'an, and I hope you can make a promise to them face to face if you say something."

"Of course, I not only have to say, but also do, and if I want to do it, everyone will applaud it," Lu Fei said confidently.

Ling Dan bowed down and made a gesture of please, "We'll wait and see."

Lu Fei squeezed into the bandits, Zhao Bantou was afraid of accidents, and followed closely, someone on the mountain carried down a big wooden box, Lu Fei supported Zhao Bantou's shoulders, turned over and stood on the box, looked down at everyone, waved his hand, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, I am Su Songzhi County, Lu Fei, if you give face, you can call me Master Lu, when I am a friend, you can call me Qianfei, Zhao'an is a great event that benefits the country and the people, and it is more beneficial to your own great joy, what can you get after Zhao'an?" The county magistrate will tell you one by one today."

All the bandits burst into concentration, for fear of missing a word, no one noticed that the danger was quietly coming, in the grass outside the green space, Zhang Rake's thousand elite soldiers had quietly come, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the crowd had surrounded the place, and there were also five hundred elite horsemen led by Zhang Rake himself were also slowly coming.

Lu Fei glanced at Ling Dan and Yun Niang in the crowd, and the two daughters both nodded at him and motioned for him to continue.

Lu Fei continued, "After this recruitment, there are many benefits, from today on, you are no longer a prisoner wanted by the imperial court, all the things you have committed in the past have been written off, after Zhao'an, the county government will find another livelihood for you, rest assured, it is definitely not worse than a bandit, and among you people, the family may not be there for a long time, I have also thought of this, you don't have to worry, the county government will pay for you to build it first, and after you live in, you will slowly return the money to the county government."

As soon as everyone heard that the county government would build a house for them, they didn't have to pay for it themselves, what a good thing, home is the foundation of life, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a livelihood to live, who would still do the murder and arson.

Some people in the crowd didn't believe it, and shouted by pulling their necks, "County master, can you guarantee that the officers and soldiers will not kill us again in the future?" ā€

Lu Fei patted his chest, "A gentleman's word, it's hard to chase a horse, since I said it, I will definitely be able to do it, if there is half a lie, any of you can come and take my head at any time."

At this moment, a group of people came down from the mountain, and under the cluster of several village girls, a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress with a red hijab on her head was particularly eye-catching, needless to say, this must be Ling Ning's arrival.

Seeing Ling Ning's outfit, Lu Fei secretly laughed wildly in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Yun Niang in the crowd, only to see that Yun Niang was looking at him at this time, Lu Qian didn't know what he meant, jumped down from the big wooden box, and came to Yun Niang and Ling Dan.

Yun Niang's arm was pulled by the bandits, Ling Dan glanced at his subordinates, the two let go together, Yun Niang leaned in Lu Fei's ear and said softly and anxiously, "Xiao Fei, didn't you come to Zhao'an too smoothly this time, General Zhang didn't embarrass you?" ā€

Lu Fei smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, I have already moved him far away, and when he comes back, the matter is almost done, and the raw rice has become cooked rice, and he can't find an excuse even if he wants to make trouble."

But Yun Niang still looked uneasy, looked vigilantly into the grass on the edge of the green space, and whispered, "Xiao Fei, you must not be careless, General Zhang is definitely not so easy to deal with, maybe the battalion army is not far away to monitor your every move."

Lu Fei said indifferently, "Yun Niang, you are too careful"

Yun Niang is still uneasy, "Be careful"

Seeing Yun Niang's solemn appearance repeatedly, Lu Fei couldn't help but be a little worried, with Yun Niang's ingenuity, something might really happen, so he said with some remorse, "If I knew this, I would have brought all the hundreds of righteous troops to strengthen my momentum."

Yun Niang shook her head and said, "It doesn't help to bring it, how can hundreds of rebels who have never been in battle fight against a well-trained battalion army?"

Lu Fei was sweating when he heard this, "You mean that Zhang Rake will jump over the wall in a hurry to kill him?" ā€

Yun Niang was silent.

Lu Fei hurriedly asked again, "Then what now?" ā€

Yun Niang thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you still do what you thought before, don't panic, let everyone hug the calf collar, even if General Zhang will be difficult, he can have a support, and then slowly calculate, in this urgency, I can't think too much, let's take a step and see a step first."

Lu Fei nodded, turned around and quickly flipped through the big wooden box again, and shouted loudly to everyone, "Folks, from today on, you are one of the people under the rule of my Datang Susong County."

However, before Lu Fei's words were finished, he heard a loud sound from the deep grass on the edge of the green space, the grass quickly separated to both sides, the war horse with a strong wind jumped out of the grass, and the infantry who followed closely behind the cavalry also rushed out quickly, each holding a weapon, shouting to surround Lu Fei and the bandits in the middle.

Immediately, there was a commotion among the bandits, and the robbers were terrified when they saw the officers and soldiers.

A path flashed out among the cavalry, but Zhang Rake grabbed the horse's belly and walked out.

Zhang Rake carried a spear, pointed at the bandits and Lu Fei, and shouted, "The mountain bandits are full of evil, and they despise the king's law.

Lu Fei really had the heart to hit the wall, and just when he wanted to speak, Ling Dan on the side suddenly pushed Yun Niang into the bandits, the long sword on his back was already tightly held in his hand, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and he stared at Lu Fei and gritted his teeth, "Lu Fei, you lied to me again, I want to kill you"

Lu Fei was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, and at this time, he didn't have time to explain all this to Ling Dan who was angry, Yun Niang was still in her hands, don't let this frightened bandit make any drastic moves.

He hurriedly pressed his hand towards Ling Dan, and said anxiously, "No, no, it's not what you think, I, I didn't know he would come, really, really, you must believe me"

The group of women surrounding the bride Ling Ning were already so frightened that they screamed again and again, crying and crying, and were wrapped in the bandits, and most of the bandits were also terrified, but they all showed their spears and short weapons in their hands, making a fighting posture.

And the rebels and the servants brought by Lu Fei also hurriedly drew out their knives, one against the bandits and the other at Zhang Rake's army, at a loss, they couldn't tell who was the enemy.

Ling Dan's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and the end of his sword pointed directly at Lu Fei, and said angrily, "Have you been planning this a long time ago, luring us down, and colluding with the battalion army to wipe us out?"

Yun Niang was controlled by the bandits, and hurriedly shouted at Ling Dan, "Miss Ling, you are wrong to blame Lord Lu, he never thought of harming you, now that you are in great trouble, it is better to quickly return to the mountain and make plans."

Lu Fei was no longer entangled with Ling Dan, stood on the big wooden barrel, glared at Zhang Rake angrily, pointed at him and shouted, "Zhang Rake, what do you mean by this?" Zhao'an has already worked, and there is no need for a large army to come."

Zhang rakezi laughed on the horse, flipped it in his hand, pointed his spear at the bandits, and said, "This general is ordered to suppress the bandits, no one can stop them, to tell you the truth, if it weren't for Zhao Junma's obstruction, I would have wiped out this group of people a long time ago, who do you think you are, little Zhixian, do you think I will put you in my eyes?" ā€

Zhang Rake looked at Lu Fei's eyes with a terrifying murderous aura, he was going to kill all the bandits and Lu Fei today.

Lu Fei glanced at Ling Dan, as if to say, do you think I look like I'm joining forces with him?

Ling Dan was annoyed and angry, her sword flipped over, her delicate body flashed, and she quickly passed through the crowd, she wanted to strike first, and directly took Zhang Rake, saying that it was late, Ling Dan's figure carried a touch of green light, and the sword light pointed directly at Zhang Rake.

Zhang Rake was also a battle-hardened person, not in a hurry, and a group of shield soldiers quickly flashed out behind him with Ling Dan's movement, shielding Zhang Rake Zi's horse.

When Ling Dan's long sword slashed at the iron shield, sparks erupted, Ling Dan jumped forward, his footsteps fell on the shield in front of him, the shield wall took a few steps back, but it was still impenetrable, Ling Dan was furious, stepped on the shield, jumped high, and the long sword in his hand slashed at Zhang Rake's face from top to bottom.

Just as Ling Dan's jumping figure was about to approach Zhang Rake, suddenly the shield spread out, and more than a dozen sharp spears rushed towards the sky, aiming at Ling Dan who was about to fall, Lu Fei shouted, "Be careful"

What kind of skill Ling Dan is, swinging his long sword and picking up the spear, stepping on the head of a battalion soldier, taking advantage of the momentum to flick back, his body fell a few feet away, at this time, the bandits saw that the big boss was in trouble, and more than a dozen people surrounded him, wrapped Ling Dan in it, and slowly retreated to the same place.

Zhang Rake laughed, "I can't help myself, this general has been fighting for half his life, and he can't deal with you group of thieves, haha, Lu Fei, you colluded with bandits, and your plot is not tricky, and now that your deeds are revealed, this general wants to bring you to justice, come, pass my general order, beat the drum, and rush to kill"

Lu Fei jumped down from the big wooden barrel, ran to Ling Dan quickly, looked at her, and saw that she was not injured, so he said, "You see, he not only wants to kill you, but even I and he won't let go."

Ling Dan pushed Lu Fei away and strode towards his sister Ling Ning, Ling Ning's red head cover had already fallen off, and he ran over to his sister, looking panicked, "Sister, what's going on?" Where did the officers and soldiers come from? ā€

Ling Dan didn't have time to explain, so he took Ling Ning's hand and came to Lu Fei's side, and handed his sister's hand to Lu Fei, "Lord Lu, I, Ling Dan, am not afraid of heaven and earth, life and death have long been put aside, I can only rest assured that my sister will not be able to leave my sister, I will hand her over to you today, I will ensure that you will fight your way out, and you take her out of here."

Ling Ning cried and held her sister's hand tightly, "Sister, what do you want to do?" ā€

Lu Fei held Ling Dan's shoulder, "Yes, don't be stupid, you see that they have thousands of people, and hard work is not the way."

At this time, the rumbling war drums sounded, and Zhang Rake had already retreated into the army, only to see two rows of archers come out of the cavalry, standing in a line in front of the bandits, and another battalion brought arrows, inserting the right hand side of the archers.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Ling Dan didn't say much, beckoned a few minions, and pushed Yun Niang to Lu Fei's side, waving his hand towards the mountain and ordering, "Quick, take them back to the mountain, take the secret passage behind the mountain, and retreat to the city."

Lu Fei said, "What about you, what do you want to do?" ā€

Ling Dan slowly took off the veil and smiled at Lu Fei and his sister, "I'll stop them, let's go."

Ling Ning cried and refused to move, and Lu Fei would not leave, pulling Ling Dan's arm, "Let's go together"

Ling Dan put on the veil again, "Let's go, leave me alone, we people have long known that there will be such an end, there is nothing to pity, go quickly" Ling Dan pushed Lu Fei hard.

Yun Niang pulled Lu Fei and said hurriedly, "Xiao Fei, just be in charge, you can't change General Zhang's mind if you stay here, haven't you seen it yet?" He won't let you go."

Zhao Bantou surrounded Lu Fei with more than ten volunteers, he had never experienced this kind of thing, but he could also see that if he didn't leave, he would die under the arrows together, and said busily, "My lord, let's go" As he spoke, he beckoned the officials to run up the mountain when he landed and Lu Fei.

"Ling Dan, you have to be careful" Lu Fei was dragged by the officials and shouted back anxiously.

"Sister, sister, let go of me, I want to be with my sister" Ling Ning cried, Yun Niang and a group of women on the mountain pulled her and followed Lu Fei to retreat to the mountain.

Ling Dan ignored them, turned her head to the minions around her and said, "Brothers, I, Ling Dan, can't stand everyone, if you want to go, let's go with Lord Lu."

Although the bandits were afraid of death, none of them wanted to leave behind their years of affection, and shouted in unison, "Kill one is enough, kill"

Ling Dan nodded, "Okay, let's fight side by side, I, Ling Dan, am willing to die with you."

Suddenly, an expression of death and resurrection appeared on everyone's faces, shouting, "If you die, you will go home"

"Homecoming......"

Lu Fei and the others had already run away from afar, and seeing that they were about to rush into the mountain, Zhang Rake sat on the horse and watched the life and death of these people, laughing, "Want to run?" It's not that easy, I want none of you to want to leave alive, release the arrows"

Ling Dan turned his head and shouted at Lu Fei, "Lu Fei, help me take care of my sister, brothers, kill"

As he spoke, Ling Dan pointed to the wooden boxes all over the ground at the bandits, "Quickly dismantle, use the wooden planks to block the arrows."

More than 300 bandits moved together, and before they could raise the things that could be used around them, they heard the sound of bowstrings breaking through the air, and more than 100 battalion archers pulled their bows and released arrows together, the target of the arrows was not Lu Fei, but Ling Dan's group of people, Zhang Rake understood that Lu Fei and the dozen or so officials were not worried, killing Ling Dan's group of people, and killing Lu Fei again was as easy as chopping vegetables.

'Ahh A miserable scream sounded beside Ling Dan, and more than a dozen brothers who had not had time to lift the plank fell down.

Row after row of sharp arrows shot at Ling Dan and the others, Lu Fei looked back as he ran, listening to the screams, his heart was dripping blood, Zhao Bantou pulled him hard, "My lord, don't look at it, stay in the green mountains, die here and that can only be a vain death, Ling Nuxia is a kung fu, she will be fine"

Yun Niang also said, "Yes, Brother Zhao is right, we can't let the people on the mountain die in vain, I have already arranged it, someone will come to save us"

Lu Fei was puzzled, how could Yun Niang expect that Zhang Rake would come to do this, let alone make arrangements before being taken captive up the mountain, and said busily, "Who will come to the rescue?" When will they come out, or if they don't come, they will all die."

Yun Niang glanced into the distance a few times, "It's almost there"

The brothers around Ling Dan fell under the sharp arrows one after another, not dead and injured, Ling Dan hid behind a large wooden box, gritted his teeth, and wanted to rush out and fight with the other party to the last of his strength, but the battalion army flew arrows and rained, whistling past everyone, pressing everyone unable to move.

The arrows finally stopped, and Ling Dan and the others stood up from behind the box, one by one murderous.

Zhang Rake waved the spear in his hand, "Infantry army, attack"

At the sound of an order, a hundred archers retreated into the cavalry, and then more infantry soldiers with a round shield in one hand and a sword in the other poured out from among the cavalry, approaching Ling Dan and the others step by step, and when they took a step, they struck the iron shield with the blade of their swords, making a sonorous sound like urging life.

Ling Dan has never experienced battlefield killing, and she doesn't know that the military formation is against the enemy, in her eyes, there is only one word, kill!

"Take care!" Ling Dan looked back at Lu Fei and his sister's figures in the distance, and said silently in his heart.

"What are we going to do?" Seeing that the infantry of the battalion army was approaching step by step, a bandit asked Ling Dan anxiously.

Ling Dan slowly raised the long sword in his hand, his eyes scanned everyone with the slightest fear, and suddenly shouted, "Kill!" ā€

At the same time, nearly five hundred infantry soldiers also quickened their pace, shielded the part below the nose, and rushed up.

Ling Dan rushed into the infantry first, kicked the oncoming man's shield, and kicked him away.

Immediately, more than 200 poor bandits at the end of the road shouted, and followed Ling Dan to rush to the 500 infantry troops in unison, desperately on the spot, the dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, the people were desperate, and the two sides fought fiercely.

According to the field mode of the Ming army, the archers took the lead in shooting quickly with strong bows and arrows, in order to hit the morale of the opponent and show their own strength, this point, Zhang Rake has gained the upper hand, with zero casualties has made nearly fifty bandits lose their combat effectiveness, although Zhang Rake's armament is far less than the equipment of the Ming Border Army, but it is enough to deal with a group of bandits.

The dense rain of arrows can completely cover the place where the bandits are located without dead ends a hundred paces away, but because the distance between the two sides is only twenty or thirty steps, this distance allows the archers to shoot horizontally, and cannot fight cattle across the mountains in an arc.

The infantry army is the key to winning a battle, at this time the infantry army formation composed of 500 soldiers with 100 shield soldiers in front of the team to form an iron wall, followed by more than 300 soldiers with spears in their hands, the two rely on each other, step by step, both offensive and defensive, the bandits have no ability to break through this battle formation, the chaotic variety of weapons do not work at all on the opponent's shield wall, the slightest carelessness of the bandits were suddenly stabbed from behind the shield spear hit, injured and fell to the ground, not waiting for him to stand up in pain, The sword in the shield soldier's hand had already been slashed.

Even though Ling Dan is fast and has superb martial arts, but there is nothing to be done in front of this kind of military formation, he can only dodge left and right, find a gap between the shields, quickly draw out his sword, and kill the battalion army hiding inside, in this way, more than ten shield soldiers have fallen under Ling Dan's fast sword, but this small casualty can not break through the battle line of the battalion army, the battalion army is pressing forward step by step, Ling Dan and other bandits are fighting and retreating, and the grass is dyed dark red on the grass they walk.

Zhang Rake stuck his spear on the ground, watching this massacre without the slightest suspense, he was triumphant, he seemed to have seen the scene of himself kneeling in the Jinluan Hall and being rewarded by the emperor, and the more he thought about it, the more real it became, he couldn't help laughing.

The shield soldiers were close together, raised their shields, and stepped on the corpses of the bandits to move forward, while the pikemen directly put their spears on the shields, stabbing indiscriminately without any purpose, these five hundred people were like a city wall covered with iron thorns, and after nearly half an hour of tearing and killing, Ling Dan and other bandits were slowly squeezed into a circle, looking back at the way they came, the fallen battalion soldiers were only a few dozen, and Ling Dan's subordinates had a hundred fallen at the feet of the battalion soldiers.
