There is no impermeable wall in the world, and as soon as Ma Ke reached an agreement with the squire to suppress the bandits in five days, Wang Teng got the news, "Ma Ke is confident in clarifying the bandits in five days."

Huang Hu, who had returned to the city, scoffed, "He is daydreaming."

Wang Teng smiled, "Ma Ke thinks he has a lot of soldiers, so he doesn't take the rogues in his eyes."

"What are 3,000 soldiers and horses? A few days ago, he didn't gain nothing, if it weren't for the soft-heartedness of the adults, the squire of Shouyang would never have spared him at this time! ”

Wang Teng was noncommittal, the people of Shouyang were innocent, and he couldn't bear to displace the people because of his own selfishness, so he missed the best opportunity to deal with Ma Ke.

However, at the moment, driving the Liukou to the west of Shouyang has also achieved certain results.

In the case of the corresponding results of the Guangling army, Ma Ke must do something, otherwise, he will not be able to account for the gentry.

However, it is by no means a simple matter to eliminate the rogues.

The Guangling army was able to win a complete victory because the cavalry under the command of Zhou Yuji came and went like the wind, and the villagers from all over Shouyang cooperated vigorously, which reduced the living space of the rogues and forced them to keep flowing.

However, if you change to Marco, it may not work.

Although there were 3,000 men under Mako's command, there were not even 100 cavalrymen, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to expect a group of two-legged soldiers to fight with the rogues.

Looking at the excitement, it is not too powerful, in the past few days, the behavior of no one in the horse has angered many generals under Wang Teng's command, among them, especially Huang Hu is the most, "My lord, Ma Ke is so hateful, can I cause trouble for him?" ”

Wang Teng rejected this tempting idea, "There is no need for the time being, the rogue is very cunning, and if Ma Ke can't find a way, it will still be difficult to succeed."

"However, there are only a few hundred rogues left, and what if Marko is really caught?"

Wang Teng laughed meaningfully, "It's okay, the mountain people have their own tricks."

Huang Hu knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he simply didn't ask again.

The next day, the news that Ma Ke sent troops to suppress bandits spread throughout Shouyang City.

Two thousand soldiers and horses marched out in a big way, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

However, Ma Ke, who was in charge of the Chinese army, understood that if the army wanted to win, it must have a well-informed guide to open the way, but the people of Shouyang City were unwilling to be his guide.

Can a living person be suffocated by urine?

Ma Ke had a gloomy face, "A heavy bounty, if anyone helps me find the rogue, the reward will be fifty taels of silver!" ”

Not to mention, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, Ma Ke just opened the reward, and two native Shouyang people came enthusiastically.

Ma Ke was very angry, these killers only have silver in their eyes, and they have no loyalty at all, which is really despised!

Marco criticized others, but he didn't expect that he was also a miser in the eyes of others, and he was useless.

In Shouyang Mansion in November, the climate was cold and food was scarce, so even the birds and animals hid and no longer went out.

This harsh environment has brought great harm to the rogues outside the city.

The cold weather and food shortages mean that a large number of people will freeze and starve to death.

There was no way to retreat, and the threat of the Guangling army was imminent, so they could only seize the only way to survive and plunder the nearby villages and villages.

Although Liu Zongmin ran away, there were still a few low-level generals hidden among the rogues.

In the past, there were thirty or fifty or even hundreds of people gathered around these generals, so to speak, everyone has a lot of energy, but there are not enough characters to appear, no one is convinced, and now it is a great disaster, and the thieves who were not subordinate to each other in the past finally tried to unite.

"Brothers, I won't talk nonsense, if we want to survive now, we can only join forces and capture a village, so that we can survive this winter"

"Although it is reasonable, but the snake has no head, the army has no owner and is in chaos, so we have to put together a charter and elect a commander, right?"

"His grandmother's, a total bird, and then a total of it, the egg balls are frozen, if you want me to say, while the brothers still have the strength now, kill his mother directly, whoever breaks the village first, will be the commander first!"

A stupid and rough-looking man shouted.

Not to mention, this man's gag words seem to happen to reach everyone's hearts, and several people look at each other and laugh "haha".

"Done! So it was decided, whoever enters the village first, who will be the leader of the great leader, brothers, what do you say? ”

"Okay, fuck me!"

"Whether it's dead or alive depends on this trembling!"

After some deliberation, the five leaders decided to join forces to attack the village.

Shouyang City can't be counted on, so it can only make a small fuss and loot a few villages.

Fortunately, there is a Ma's courtyard nearby, I heard that it is the Zhuangzi of the huge rich Ma Dian in Shouyang, if it can be taken away, the rogues at least have the capital to live.

The courtyard has a courtyard wall, but the height and thickness are not outstanding, and when hundreds of rogues roared in, the Zhuang Ding were stunned.

If it weren't for the timely vigilance of the commander of the guards, maybe the courtyard wall would have been seized by thieves.

After wandering outside the city for so long, all the food that could be scavenged nearby had been eaten by the thieves, and if it hadn't been for the breaking of the Tengjia courtyard that day and the hundreds of stones of food found from it, the thieves would have starved to death in the wilderness.

There was no food, no warm clothing, and the despair in the hearts of the rogues was stronger and stronger day by day.

Didn't you say that the rogues were free?

Before the big guy left Liu Zongmin, isn't it just a little happy?

Why are you living so aggrieved now?

The nearby Guangling Army is invincible, but is it just walking aimlessly and moving forward? Who knows how many people will freeze and starve to death on the way?

The only way to survive seems to be to break through the village, kill it, and rob the damn!

As for whether the officers and soldiers will come, that is another matter.

Today, the rogues don't have much choice.

Without food, even if you survive, you won't be able to survive for a few days, but if you break through the other courtyard, you can at least be a full ghost!

There were more than 400 rogues gathered outside the city, which was already ninety percent of the remaining rogues, and they had already held their breath after hiding all day.

Hearing that the leader had finally made up his mind to attack the village, the rogues were not afraid, but howled excitedly.

More than half a month of eating and sleeping in the open is enough to force a normal person to be cruel.

Moreover, which of the thieves who can follow Liu Zongmin to the east to conquer Shouyang and loot is not a ruthless criminal?

It's just a dead word, if you can survive and attack the village, then there will be endless meat, wine and meat that you can't drink, and women who can't sleep, it's very beautiful to think about.

There is no "dong dong" war drums, there is no military law team that presses the formation and monitors, and there is not even a reserve team.

After hastily preparing dozens of wooden stakes, the rogues rushed forward.

With their simple clothes, all kinds of weapons, and staggering steps, it seems that the rogue has become the end of the crossbow.

However, Zhuang Ding did not dare to be careless.

The sound of Jin Ge's warning resounded throughout the village, Ma Xiang's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that there was no way out, and the Liukou really began to attack the village.

Although he had already had some psychological expectations, when this moment came, Ma Xiang still felt frightened.

As Ma Dian's distant nephew, Ma Xiang's future has a great relationship with Zhuangyuan, if Zhuangyuan is lost, even if he lives, it will be difficult to benefit.

Fight!

Zhuang Ding still has one hundred and ten people, even if you count women and children, there are only two hundred and thirty people, so many people, I am afraid that they are far from being the opponents of the Liukou.

In the crisis, Ma Xiang didn't care about anything else, and immediately issued a general ****** to the whole people: "Tell everyone that the rogue is fierce and ruthless, and the chickens and dogs will not be left after the village is broken, and those who want to live, regardless of men and women, must gather in front of the courtyard wall, and those who violate the order will be punished as gangsters!" ”

Zhuang Ding didn't dare to say much, but just responded to "喀".

"Where is Ma Dong?"

"In!"

"Go to the storeroom and get all your weapons out."

"However, without the orders of the patriarch, the weapon cannot be moved."

"I can't move at this time, do you want to leave it to the rogue?"

Ma Dong knew that life and death were at stake, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and he also promised to do so.

After hurriedly giving two orders, Ma Xiang summoned his nephew Ma Xing to him.

"Xing'er, the situation is dangerous, you can choose whether to go or stay!"

"Uncle, nephew is determined to stay!"

Ma Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked again: "This is a matter of life and death, so you can't be abrupt, you think about it carefully, don't regret it!" ”

Ma Xing gritted his teeth and replied fiercely: "Uncle, my nephew will never regret it!" ”

Ma Xiang sighed and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then you can stay, the rogue has come, the whole village will gather, you will reorganize the people and horses, act as a backup, remember, you only have half an hour to converge the team, if you miss the time, let the thief army enter the city, you and my uncle and nephew will have only a dead end." ”

Ma Xing bowed his head and said, "My nephew can save it." ”

"That's fine, let's go and prepare"

"Whoa!"

Outside the village, the rogues swept in like locusts, and they rushed forward with a roar.

There are only a dozen archers in the village, and they try their best, but they can't stop the crazy rogues.

It was freezing cold, and the arched fingers were slightly stiff.

One hundred, fifty, thirty, and ten paces, the Liukou quickly crossed the trench outside the village, their heavy footsteps making a "creaking" sound on the river ice.

The Rogue is coming!

"Roll the wood, push!"

Ma Xiang gave an order, Zhuang Ding lifted a huge rolling log, and several people worked together to push down the city.

The logs that rolled down fell from the height and fell to the ground, injuring the five rogues on the spot, and the nearby rogues cursed, still with the help of wooden stakes, trying to climb the courtyard wall.

In desperation, the rogues burst out with fierce fighting spirit, and like beasts that did not know the pain, they vowed to attack the courtyard.

Shouyang has been peaceful for a long time, Zhuang Ding has been in the battle formation for a long time, they have never seen such a fierce and fearless rogue, for a while, the momentum is overwhelming, and they all have the intention of avoiding.

Ma Xiang hurriedly boosted his morale, "The thieves are just hungry and crazy, as long as they block this wave of attacks, this Zhuangzi will be saved, your family, wives and daughters, rice, millet and money and grain can be preserved, if you can't resist it, let the thieves enter the Zhuangzi, this one of your families will fall into the hands of those beasts, no one will want to escape!" ”

As if in order to enhance Zhuang Ding's confidence, Ma Xiang shouted again: "An hour, as long as an hour is reached, there will be officials and soldiers to help, if this battle is a big victory, each person will be rewarded with three hundred yuan afterwards!" ”

"Will the officers and soldiers really come?"

Ma Xiang said conclusively, "That is, I have already sent someone to pass on Master Ma, and he will never stand idly by!" ”

With reinforcements and rewards, the Zhuang Ding finally boosted their morale and were worthy of a battle.

Outside, the thief army is still attacking rapidly.

Before attacking, all the rogues had their feast, wiping their mouths dry, brandishing their rusty weapons in their hands, and howling and rushing forward.

The food has been eaten up, and some of the thieves know the allusion to the destruction of the cauldron and the shipwreck, and they have distributed all the hidden food, in order to cut off the back road of the thieves and give birth to the murderous intent of death.

Only by entering Zhuangzi can you live!

The cold wind whistled past his ears, and the arrows fell at his feet, but the rogues only spat contemptuously, and continued to speed forward.

Kill, kill the head of the city, kill all the men.

Like a tireless moth that does not know how to hurt, it vows to pounce into the flames of death.

At this time, Ma Ke had just arrived at a place thirty miles away from the courtyard, and the cavalry of the sentinel had already come to report that the Liukou had begun to attack the village, and the two sides were in the midst of a fierce battle.

Is it to rush to the rescue, or to let the soldiers rest their overall strength, and then kill the exhausted rogues in one go?

Naturally, it was the latter, and Ma Ke didn't have a good impression of the local heroes, and if he could make them suffer a little, he would be happy to see it.

It's just a village, even if it is lost, it won't be much of a loss to Marco, if you kill it at this time, it may be a surprise!

That's right, Ma Ke intends to use Zhuang Yuan as a bait, and he wants to take advantage of the rogue frenzied attack to reorganize his troops and horses.

This battle must be won!

There is not much time left for Marco, and if he can't take advantage of this opportunity to exterminate the rogues, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity.

As for whether the other courtyard will not be able to support it, this is not in the scope of Ma Ke's consideration at all!

Ma Ke's behavior of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight can't be hidden from anyone with a heart at all!

Not long after Ma Ke left the city, Zhou Yuji sent someone to follow.

When the news of Ma's indifference came when Ma's courtyard was attacked, Wang Teng did not fall into the trap, and he decided to endure it for the time being.

No amount of gossip is weak in the face of victory, in other words, if Marco wins, even Madian will not find a reason to retaliate, on the contrary, if Marco loses, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!

Isn't it a big scandal that the dignified Ming officials and soldiers allowed the rogue to plunder the village?

Wang Teng believes that the squire of Shouyang will not remain indifferent. (To be continued.) )
