Pei Yuanshao has been in a bad mood these days, very depressed, and has such a lifeless face all day long, and every time something unpleasant happens, he shouts and scolds loudly, and many people in the cottage have been scolded by him. www.biquge.info Although most of the people who are bandits don't have a good temper, the irritability and casual scolding like him does make his subordinates feel a little headache and unwilling.

However, they are all familiar with Pei Yuanshao and know what kind of personality they are as a leader: unlike Zhou Cang, who has always been warm and always mingles with the soldiers under his hands, Pei Yuanshao, who once served as a servant, has more of the style of an official, he pays attention to respect and humility, pays attention to rules, and prefers to use some methods that Zhou Cang said are "tricks" to deal with problems. If Zhou Cang is a warrior in Woniu Mountain, then he Pei Yuanshao is a Wenchen in Woniu Mountain. Although the two are very different in personality, they make up for each other in terms of ability, so that they can get along very harmoniously. Unlike the leaders of other places, these two in Woniu Mountain hardly have any "shortcomings": except for Pei Yuanshao's love for horses and Zhou Cang's love for Liu Bei - in fact, these are not shortcomings at all.

"Did you hear that? The boss is angry these days for the sake of this thief. A soldier tugged at the sleeve of his robe and said mysteriously. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao both controlled their subordinates very strictly, which made the "activities" of the cottage not as many as in other places. Such a number of old men, where there is no more power, they also learn from the women in the countryside, and their tongues gradually grow. Among them, the most legendary is the secret story between the two bosses, especially the more interesting secret story of Boss Pei.

"What to say." The comrade blinked his bright and clear little eyes and leaned over curiously. There's no one who's not interested in interesting gossip, and there's no one who doesn't want to hear it. Although the veracity of these messages is doubtful, as a casual pastime, people really can't do without them at all.

"Do you know that Boss Pei snatched a white horse last time?" The soldier who brought up the conversation dropped his bookbag with such a sentence.

"That's what you know." The comrade who was interested in the matter nodded heavily: "Boss Pei loves horses, as soon as he hears that the pedestrians passing by here have good horses in their hands, he will rush down with people and try his best to snatch the horses." For this matter, we have killed a lot of people, and that's why we got hooked up with Guan Erye. If it weren't for Guan Erye's Red Rabbit, how could we meet with Erye and get a promising future. However, I heard that the original owner of the white horse was also a character who was not easy to get along with, and a lot of people died because of it last time. His comrade was quick to tell what he knew, and he didn't want people to look down on him and see him as ignorant.

"The problem is on this white horse. Boss Pei loves horses, and once he gets a good horse, he always has to ride a few laps for a walk. But the rain that had been falling since that day stopped his excitement. He has been very aggrieved in the past few days, and naturally his mood has become irritable. The soldier said with a smile.

"I see!" Once something is clearly stated, the person who hears it will have that kind of sudden realization expression, and such an expression is often the easiest to make the speaker proud.

On the shooting tower on the rainy night, talking about some such secret texts in detail, the two shook their hands and feet a little stiffly, only to find that this time had run into the middle of the night unconsciously.

"What's the case?" Someone shouted loudly at the foot of the west side of the shooting tower. Although the man's voice was obviously doing his best, it still took a lot of effort for the people upstairs to understand. For the rain in the sky was still falling, and the rustling of the dense raindrops falling on the ground drowned out all the other sounds in the heavens and the earth. If it weren't for the roar, I really wouldn't have heard a reason.

"It's okay, it's okay! You don't look at the weather, haven't you all come here these days? The soldier who spoke of the secret casually glanced around the situation in front of him and roared back in a tone of great impatience.

It has been two or three years since the building was built. Although there was damage in the middle, it was always quickly rebuilt under the arrangement of the two bosses above the cottage, and firmly controlled the land in front of the cottage. For the existence of the shooting tower, maybe the bosses of the cottage have their own ideas, but as far as their own soldiers are concerned, they really can't see anything good about this shooting tower. Perhaps because of the prestige of the two bosses, no one has come to attack the cottage over the years, so the shooting tower has never been used. Therefore, the soldiers' understanding of the shooting tower has always stayed on the basis of the sentry post. After all, the tower was used for no purpose other than to be used by them to observe farther away, and the fact that someone came every quarter of an hour seemed to show that.

"Come here? Don't go over to the balls. The people below muttered, cursed, and walked away. Maybe I'm not satisfied with the impatient attitude upstairs. Although it is very annoying to come and ask questions once in a quarter of an hour, it is always unpleasant for the people below to be treated in a bad face. In fact, they think that they should complain the most, because in such a rainy night, they are brave the rain to inquire all over the mountains. Compared to them, the people above can be regarded as living in heaven.

All said bad words spread thousands of miles, although it was raining outside, although the voice of the person below was not loud, but the soldiers above still heard such scolding. So, they stood up and were about to talk back to the bottom. It's not that they're very dissatisfied or hateful to the people below them, it's that they've developed such a habit of insulting each other. For them, such abuse will not affect their relationship.

However, there was no way out of the curse - two sharp arrows flew inexplicably, piercing their necks with great force and breaking their throats. At that time, they were lying on the edge of the shooting tower, and they were suddenly shot like this, and the whole person fell from the shooting tower as if they had been punched, and fell heavily to the ground, splashing a piece of muddy water.

"What's going on?" The patrol building below walked not far and naturally heard such a voice. He walked over to take a look, but saw that the two people who were arguing with him just now were being shot to death on the ground like this, and he couldn't help but scream in shock. At this time, everyone has to admit that sometimes some men's voices are much sharper and more poignant than most women. Hearing this cry in Li Sheng's ears outside, he couldn't help but think of a noun called "midnight murderous spirit".

"It's terrible." Li Sheng frowned and muttered quietly. He resisted the fear of the voice in his heart and continued to follow the group forward. At this time, he is both a commander and an ordinary soldier. Since the scale of the battle was not large, he did not need to stand calmly in the rear to grasp it, so he chose to fight with the soldiers to improve the morale of his army.

"Are you scared?" What came to his ears was Zhao Yun's slightly mocking chuckle. In this battle, she was arranged to act with Li Sheng. This was not her request, but it was forcibly arranged by her brother Zhao Yun, who loved her very much. He originally wanted her to stay in the Guo family's compound, but in the end he couldn't stop her, so he had to set such a rule for him. In Zhao Yun's opinion, Li Sheng should be in the rear, and it should be safer to arrange his sister by his side. Zhao Yun never thought that Li Sheng would charge in such a battle, and he charged with his own two feet like a small soldier.

"Afraid? I'm a little scared. I was worried what would have happened if that scream suddenly sounded less than a foot in front of me, and then suddenly a white figure appeared in the darkness? Li Sheng smiled strangely, and directly told the classic female ghost appearance in his mind. This may be unprecedented, and it is really ...... to talk about ghosts in such a place of fighting

"Yike......! You don't say any more. Zhao Yun screamed. The woman's unique shrill voice startled the people around her, and the weapon in her hand involuntarily turned upside down. No one knew if anyone had fallen from their weapons at the sound of this.

The sound was terrifying. Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun with blaming eyes: "Don't scare me like this, okay?" People are scary and they are scared to death! ”

"Don't look at me like that, okay!" Zhao Yun, who realized that he had done something wrong, responded to everyone with a somewhat embarrassed smile, and then went to Li Sheng to settle the account. Naturally, she didn't plan to let Li Sheng get away with it, but with everyone around, she could only signal Li Sheng to lean over, and then punched Li Sheng in the abdomen.

This is the strength that made Li Sheng's stomach hurt so much that he couldn't even speak. Facing the little girl's smiling appearance, he felt that his intestines were blue. In his eyes at the moment, Zhao Yun is completely a little witch, the kind who eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Because she did it secretly, so that no one else could see anything at all. Even if someone saw it, they thought it was Zhao Yun and Li Sheng joking.

"Sure enough, it's the most poisonous woman's heart." Li Sheng muttered quietly, helpless to grit his teeth and stop talking about this matter. Of course, Li Sheng himself is very dissatisfied with such a forbearance, but at the moment, he really doesn't have more energy to continue to entangle in such a matter, so he can only learn from "Ah Q" to comfort himself: "We are men, we are broad-minded." ”

The situation on the battlefield advanced with great fanfare on Li Sheng's side, and several shooting towers were attacked one after another. None of the people in the dark cottage knew how many enemies were coming, and they could only guess from the shouts from all sides and the posture of the enemy that they could see at the moment: the enemy was attacking, and they numbered in the thousands.

"What should I do?" They asked.

The establishment of the shooting tower was originally intended to allow them to support each other in the event of an attack. But at the moment, this seems impossible to achieve, and with almost all the outer shooting towers under attack and the internal shooting towers suppressed, everyone is in a hurry to put themselves in danger. They can't even take care of themselves, where can they have the energy to help others? After finding out that the enemy had a huge strength of more than several thousand, they almost didn't even have the courage to fight after defending this outer camp for a long time and had hardly descended the mountain, and the only thing they thought about was how to survive until the people from the inner village came to support.

Time, what they need most right now is time.

The inner village is only one mile away from the outer camp, and it is naturally very close. When Li Sheng and the others turned the entire outer camp upside down, the people in the inner village naturally understood very clearly that they had been attacked. The horn of the snail in the cottage sounded, waking up the blood-licking guys from their beds. Although they were sparse ruffians, they did gather in just half a cup of tea and picked up their own weapons.

"How many enemies are there? Haven't you reported the situation below? Pei Yuanshao frowned and asked his eldest brothers anxiously.

"Nope! We don't get the following situation. Now it's raining and it's dark, and we don't understand what the hell is going on. The eldest brother, who was temporarily in charge of the work in the outer village, shook his head and said.

"Can you get an idea?" Pei Yuanshao's brows did not relax, but tightened tighter. It wasn't the answer he wanted to hear.

"Probably?" The eldest brother was slightly stunned for a moment, but his face was full of bitterness: "The general situation, it is not good to estimate!" We seem to be under attack from the government, and the enemy, with a large number of troops, is coming up from the front. ”

"Official?" When Pei Yuanshao heard this long-lost term, he suddenly had more doubts in his heart: "There is no government power near us at all." Could it be Cao Cao's people? It's not right, although Cao Cao's power greatly surpasses ours, but now all their thoughts are on how to deal with Yuan Shao, how can they have time to patronize us as a little bandit? Although the topography of Woniu Mountain is good, it really shouldn't have any impact on them. How could it be ......" After analyzing it, Pei Yuanshao's head became even more confused.

"Are you sure it's the government?" He wanted to make sure again.

"I don't know if it's an official government. But what is certain is that tonight's enemies are strong enough to kill us all. The eldest brother said with some frustration: "The government in the troubled times generally doesn't care about the bandits outside their direct territory, they all think that it is not necessary. This is the basis on which we exist. However, their lack of necessity does not mean that they do not have the strength to exterminate. Once they are determined to destroy us, then we will eventually have only one way to die. It's like the forces on the side of Qingzhou and Taishan. "He is a person from Mount Tai, and he has a deep memory of Cao Cao sending troops to clear out Qingzhou and Taishan bandits a few years ago. He clearly understood what a formidable existence the princes standing around him were.

"Oh?" After listening to the eldest brother's explanation, Pei Yuanshao became even more annoyed. He clearly knows that his cottage has now reached the point of life and death.

"What should I do?" This is something he needs to come up with quickly. After all, the fire has burned to the brow, and he will face death if he is not happy.

"Zhou He, you take your guards to leave me and put some of our things for me. The rest of me went down with me and slashed down. Fuck him, if there are so many enemies, how do we know if we don't try. Although we are all bandits and are looked down upon, we are indeed bloody men. If you don't give the people who come to us some color, they really think we're all soft eggs. Pei Yuanshao shouted loudly. Although he seems to have some words for the people below, they can still understand it after all.

Under his passionate words, the blood on everyone's bodies suddenly boiled, and they all shouted and excited.

The gate of the inner camp was opened, and the bandits, who had already ignited that fierce and murderous intent, screamed loudly and roared down the slope built by the cottage, and rushed into the nearest enemy group without forming any formation.

The bandits are people who have not undergone much training and do not know what formation is. Perhaps in the protracted battle, they are not as good as the ranks of formally trained soldiers. But compared to the ferocity of the initial charge and their understanding of the fight, they were much better than most soldiers. They are all people who have survived countless battles, and when they fight, the bloody and tragic meaning naturally radiates. This is pressing, just like at the moment, even though it is one of Li Sheng's most elite troops, it suddenly shows a little fatigue in the case of a sudden attack. They were caught off guard by the bandits' charge and had to retreat.

Of course, their retreat was active. They are not defeated or scattered, but to preserve their own strength, and to better annihilate them. In fact, not only did their group of people who came into direct contact with the bandits retreat, but even the rest of the world was constantly retreating except for a few crossbowmen who continued to suppress the shooting tower. If at first they spread out their hands and slapped people, now they are ready to retract their outstretched hands and prepare to condense them into a fist to beat people. This is also a last resort, and if this is not done, then the final defeat is definitely on their side. After all, the bandits' team is in chaos, but after all, it is still a team of fists.

"It seems that Pei Yuanshao, this guy really has a bit of a brain! You can see that. After listening to the situation brought back by his own soldiers from all sides, Li Sheng actually surprised to praise his enemy.

"How?" Zhao Yun asked strangely.

"He's gathering and scattering." Li Sheng said this very simply, as an answer to Zhao Yun's question.

"Oh!" Zhao Yun understood it, but she praised Li Sheng for the enemy's other ideas: "Are you praising yourself in disguise!" You said that Pei Yuanshao is amazing. But no matter how good he is, he never gets out of your control, does that mean you're better than him? ”

"Well, you can say that." Regarding Zhao Yun's analysis, Li Sheng really has to admit that she is very correct.

You're in control. Seeing that things were developing exactly according to the steps he had set, Li Sheng seemed very satisfied and happy. He smiled faintly, as relaxed as watching a play. Even if Zhao Yun had the intention to provoke his anger before, he completely ignored the mocking tone as if he hadn't heard it. He didn't want to make his mood worse because of a certain "little woman". In his opinion, only when he is in a good mood can he better think of a way to deal with the enemy, and from this point of view, the mood is very important to him.

The two teams finally met under the leadership of their respective leaders. The two sides fought against each other, without any formation at all, but each touched an enemy of their own, and then caught the right fight like this. In the icy clash of iron and iron, scorching sparks and red blood burst out from time to time, and crisp intertwining sounds and hoarse or thick roars. Completely relying on their own instincts to fight, in this chaotic place, someone will fall at any time, either Li Sheng's side or Pei Yuanshao's side.

The battle continued, and Pei Yuanshao didn't realize that his enemies were those in front of him at all. Although he was suffering casualties, the casualties on his own side obviously exceeded those on the other side. His team was constantly retreating under enemy attacks. He tried to stop such a retreat, but to no avail. The enemy was strong, so strong that he could break through his guards and attack him directly in front of him. Although the attackers were suppressed every time, Pei Yuanshao knew that his subordinates had not been able to eliminate them. Because he saw the faces that gradually became familiar in the continuous breakthroughs of the other party.

"How can there be such a strong fighting team?" Pei Yuanshao couldn't believe everything in front of him. He put together an enemy, and although it was just a creep-like guy, it was obviously a little tricky for him. He kept waving the iron knife in his hand and beckoned towards the other party's body, and the other party kept retreating in the greeting, but the situation was tangled: one forward, the other backward, and the coordination could be said to be perfect, so that Pei Yuanshao had no way to cut off the other party's head at all. After fending off the stabbing blows of the two iron spears coming from the left and right, he completely lost the man.

"The enemy spearmen are annoying." This was another thing that made him angry, and by this time he was fully aware of the fact that "the initial retreat of the enemy was entirely deliberate. At that time, the enemy's forces were absolutely scattered. ‘

"Alas, miscalculated." He sighed, but there was nothing he could do but continue helplessly in depression. However, he was not willing to do so, he always wanted to sort out the events of tonight. After repelling another assault from the enemy's spearheads, he had his men pull back a little, strengthening the defenses around him. This gave him a little respite from the tension of his opponents. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he continued to think. Now he has some faith in the statement that the enemy is an officer and soldier. Because the enemy in front of him is so tough and disciplined.

In his careful observation, some subtle clues were immediately seen, which further affirmed his judgment that the enemy was an officer and army: although the main general of the other side tried to cover up this fact, and did not fight with him in a military formation, but fought with a scattered formation like himself, but this was only a general situation, and it was superficial. Hidden beneath the surface is the fact that the opponent is trying to erode its own forces in a small formation with a small number of soldiers cooperating with each other while seemingly scattering. Instead of fighting against one enemy in front of each other, his soldiers must face five enemies in a squad at the same time.

"What a powerful method." After clearly understanding this, Pei Yuanshao was secretly speechless. Due to the ingenious arrangement of the other side, the soldiers who cooperate with each other are always moving back and forth during the battle, so that people cannot grasp this point at once, and think that the whole battle situation is in a state of melee. "Because the scuffle is uncontrollable, most generals at this time can only sit back and watch it all continue. And this continued existence is exactly what the other party wants to see. Soon Pei Yuanshao thought of this.

"So how do you hack it all!" Pei Yuanshao thought of a move. Maybe it's not the best, but it's the most effective at a time like this. He quickly gave the order: "Retreat, return to the camp to consolidate." With that, he took the lead and turned back first.

"What? Retreat at this time? Zhao Yun, who saw all this in the formation, felt a little incredible. She stared at those beautiful big eyes and asked Li Sheng, "What?" Isn't he afraid that such a retreat will turn into a rout? After all, under such a scuffle, as long as one side can't stand it, the other side can completely suppress the other party. Isn't he afraid of that? ”

"He's not afraid. Because all these men under him are his old men. I fully understood the meaning of his every word. Bandits are different from officers and soldiers, and it's hard to tell what the difference is between their defeat and their withdrawal. Although they all listen to the words of the general leader of the cottage, the various small leaders below have absolute rights to the deployment of the level below them. In such a situation, unless all the minor bosses die or they all betray, they are not completely exterminated. Because they will continue to fight you as separate groups. This is where their biggest headache is. Li Sheng explained with a smile, basically analyzing the situation of the enemy on the opposite side. He looked at Pei Yuanshao's actions on the other side, and already guessed in his heart what kind of reaction he was going to make next.

"This is also a good general. A strong man breaks his wrist, which is really a good means. Li Sheng thought, and the smile on his face deepened.

At this time, Zhao Yun said something that made Li Sheng a little alert: "Hearing you say this, I think these bandits seem to be a little similar to Uncle Liu's troops. I heard from my second brother that when Uncle Liu's troops were defeated, there would also be such a situation of small group resistance. ”

"Is that so?" Li Sheng's eyes suddenly sharpened, "If that's the case." Then Liu Bei's army should be careful. He thought to himself, "If the regular army can continue to resist in small groups even if the main general is killed or defeated, instead of being crushed, then it proves that this regular army has a grassroots entity dominated by junior officers." If such an entity can be tempered again, it will only be very close to the army model of later generations. Although such a unit may seem to be no different from other troops on the surface, in reality, it is much better to preserve than ordinary troops, both under the command of a general and when it is heavily damaged. Well, Liu Bei really has something unusual about him. ”

"Looks like I'm going to pay attention to it later." Li Sheng reminded himself in a whisper. Because he knew that he couldn't tell when he would fight Liu Bei.

The battle continued, but the night was getting brighter. The battle tonight would last so long, which was something that neither Li Sheng nor Pei Yuanshao could have imagined. However, when it was impossible for each other to stop, they had to continue fighting, even though they were exhausted from the soldiers to the generals.
