Lee Seung-hwan found that the past two days have been getting more and more wrong.

After the failed attempt to storm the Ming camp outside Risheng Village that day, he gave up the idea of closing the door and fighting the dogs, and instead concentrated all his troops—more than 800 herdsmen and villagers, more than 60 patrolmen, and dozens of heavy cavalrymen who were gradually recovering their morale—on this camp where the Ming people were deep into the hinterland.

His goal is very clear, that is, to make full use of the powerful mobility of the cavalry in his hands, take turns, and maintain the harassment of the Ming people without interruption, so that the other party is always in a state of high tension, not to mention that he is unable to invade the Liu family's mansion, even if he sticks to the camp, it is difficult to hold on to it in the end.

At that time, if the Ming people break through to the seaside, then the more than ten cavalry squads under him will chase and kill the Ou tail, and strive to wipe out all the Ming people in this more than ten miles of travel - just as Chu Fan expected, Li Chenghuan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has already found a way to restrain the Liao army in the field, that is, the cavalry raids in turn! Resolutely cannot leave time for the Fuliao army to set up the formation!

If the Ming people stick to the camp, then when the reinforcements sent by the Jeju Mu arrive, how can the Ming people take down the camp - the head of the camp in Jeju City, but the in-laws of Liu Shenghai's wife and brother will not stand by no matter what; The more than 500 people under his command are not vegetarians, and there are as many as six cannons alone, and they are afraid that they will not be able to take such a small village?

However, if the battalion army wants to be pulled, it is impossible without the nod of the Jeju pastor, so the chief steward sent to Jeju by Liu Shenghai is now active up and down the yamen of the pastoral palace, striving to make the herdsman loosen his mouth as soon as possible; The latest situation is that the shepherd envoy has already made a condition, and Yoo Seung-hae personally went to Jeju City for this reason, and has not returned yet.

It should be said that Lee Seung-hwan's arrangement can be described as the best choice. And the effect was very good at the beginning -- the two days after the Fuliao army set up camp was indeed tossed and turned.

However, with the gradual adaptation of the Fuliao army, coupled with the increase in casualties among the herdsmen, this situation is rapidly reversing - unlike the cavalry that could not sleep as soon as they were attacked, the current unattended troops of the Fuliao army have learned to sleep soundly in the rumbling hooves and mournful shouts; On the other hand, Lee Seung-hwan's side, since he recruited the shepherd slave villager. Almost every day, people are injured or die in the impact, and the morale is already low, but now they are even more perfunctory and hiding.

This situation has a lot to do with Liu Shenghai's attitude towards the slave herdsmen - he paid 100 yuan per person when he was recruited, but these days not only is the food extremely harsh to the slave herdsmen, but he also ignores those who are killed and wounded.

In his opinion, 100 yuan is the money to buy a life - these people themselves are slaves, and it is already a great gift for the master to give money, do you still want to make an inch?

Therefore, from the day of the conscription, the flight and sabotage of the herdsmen have not stopped. It's just that the number of people is small and almost negligible.

Beginning yesterday morning, however, there was a sudden and great increase in the number of people fleeing -- at first, there were still three or five people, but by yesterday afternoon, dozens of people had scattered in a hurry when they were storming the camp of the Fuliao army, so that the patrolmen and heavy cavalry who were watching had no time to stop them.

By this morning, the situation had deteriorated to an alarming degree—three squads of herdsmen had killed the patrolmen who had gone to urge orders. Then he fled to the camp of the Fuliao army in a big way!

This is already a blatant rebellion!

In a hurry, Li Chenghuan couldn't care about putting any more pressure on the Fuliao army. Quickly gathered all the remaining slave farmers to take care of them, and after counting the number of people, they found that the original more than 800 slave farmers were now only a little more than half!

And the Fuliao army also began to make moves - not only did they use that strange iron wire to enclose a large piece of land on one side of the camp as a camp for the former herdsmen and herdsmen, but they also gave them a lot of tents and felts to protect them from the cold.

What made Li Chenghuan even more frightened was that the Fuliao army seemed to be determined to coerce all the remaining herdsmen and villagers, and the meals were white flour steamed buns and broth. The enticing aroma of boiling broth can be smelled from three or four miles away!

In addition to being frightened, Li Chenghuan couldn't help but admire the opponent in the camp - what is it called to go to the army to fight? This is a typical military strategy, people have steamed buns and broth in one hand, and the battlefield has changed from the land to the hearts of the people!

Therefore, Li Chenghuan no longer cared about the rules set by Liu Shenghai, and ordered people to immediately improve the food of the herdsmen. I don't dare to say that the steamed bun broth is not worse than these patrolmen.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter, asking people to quickly send it to Liu Shenghai, asking him to allocate some more money to appease these herdsmen no matter what, otherwise this battle will really be impossible to fight!

These measures, coupled with the strict surveillance of the patrolmen and the heavy armored cavalry, finally made the herdsmen settle down a little, and Li Chenghuan was able to withdraw and personally go to the edge of the camp to reconnoiter the movements of the Liao army.

It was only in the afternoon when the sun was setting in the west that he returned to the camp near the Nine Sages Monument with a frown, and before he could enter the camp, he heard a commotion erupt from inside.

What's going on again?

Li Chenghuan muttered in his heart, and as soon as his legs were forced, the jade lion immediately spread its four hooves and galloped towards the center of the camp.

“…… You poor starving wretchs! For several lifetimes, you have lived in my Liu family's land, ridden my Liu family's horse, and eaten my Liu family's grain, if it weren't for my Liu family's kindness, you would have died a few times! …… Now that my lord and I have a lot of kindness, I will give you money in vain to let you town, and you still dare to give half-heartedness, yang and yin? ”

Far away, Li Chenghuan could clearly hear Liu Shenghai's strange smile, "I really think that I can't clean you up, master?" Dream! …… I'm not afraid to tell you that the battalion army in Jeju is ready to be deployed, and it will be there in a few days...... The death of those Ziming people is coming soon, and you want to bury them? …… Sir, I will fulfill you! Come on, cut these two traitors to me!" ”

In the fierce turmoil, Lee Seung-hwan felt that his heart was about to jump out - at this time, he could no longer oppress these herdsmen, otherwise he would have to cause a big disaster!

"Keep people under the knife!"

Ignoring the wind and sand in his face, he shouted with all his strength.

It's a pity that it's too late!

When the jade lion rushed to the center of the camp, the head of a shepherd slave rolled right in front of Lee Seung-hwan, and his round eyes stared straight at him on horseback, making his heart furious.

"Boom~~"

As the two heads landed, the hundreds of herdsmen who were gathered exploded in the nest, roaring angrily towards Liu Shenghai, who was still scolding angrily, but was forcibly dragged back by two henchmen who saw that the situation was not good.

The patrolmen and heavy cavalrymen who were watching on the side waved their blades and slashed at the crowd, but the people were so excited that they rushed up regardless of it, and for a time several patrolmen were caught off guard and were pulled off their horses.

The scene quickly got out of control, Li Chenghuan sighed, turned the horse's head to catch up with Liu Shenghai and said in a deep voice.

"Master, retreat to the mansion!" (To be continued.) )
