(Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you very much) Although Lu Song took five hundred horses out of Anlu City and wanted to intercept the Liukou, of course he would not directly bring people to meet him. The official document of the Huguang Metropolitan Division is not ominous, and at present, we only know the number of displaced people, and we still don't know the number of the five Jiang brothers from the party.

The first spies sent out a batch last night. After leaving Anlu in the early hours of this morning, five small banners were scattered to take the first step to inquire about the route of Liukou and other news.

Everyone went south along the official road, waited for more than 40 miles, and arrived at the boundary monument between Anlu Prefecture and Yunmeng County, Lu Song sent a message to order everyone to get off the horse and rest, waiting for the news of the spies.

This place is not only the junction of the two places, but also a natural traffic chokepoint. The official road is flanked by dense forests, and behind the dense forests are mountains, which are the best places for ambushes.

Dao idiot and Lu Bing dismounted and went to the helmet. Although it was early in the morning and the sun was rising, it was the height of summer after all, and I still covered my sweat.

The five hundred people in the palace were divided into five hundred households by Lu Song. In addition to Xing Baihu in charge of a team of people, the three guards of the Honor and Guard Division are each in charge of a team. There were a hundred people left, and Lu Song was in charge. Of the hundred, fifty became spies. There were fifty men left, crossbowmen.

If you want to stop the Liukou outside of Anlu Prefecture, this is the best battlefield now.

The idiot touched his mount and looked around at the people inside.

Orders are forbidden, and everyone's temperament is completely different. When the prince was escorted, everyone was solemn, and now they are slaughtering.

Lu Bing said in a low voice: "How many arrows can the second brother shoot?" ”

Both of them used a stone bow, and although they could draw it, they were weak after a few arrows. Dao Idiot thought for a while and said, "Six or seven are fine, but you can't pass ten." ”

Although the two of them were the first to accompany the army, they also knew that the cavalry traveled, mainly focusing on speed and flexibility, most of them would not fall into battle, and there were not many opportunities to fight with knives in close combat, if there was no accident, it was mostly archery deterrence.

Lu Bing touched his bow and said, "I have to barely shoot four or five here, and if I shoot again, I won't be able to pass fifty steps, and I don't know how many rogues I can shoot." ”

As he spoke, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

At the end of the official road, smoke and dust were raised all the way.

Everyone looked at each other, and saw several horses galloping from far and near.

Even with the royal guard uniforms they were wearing, everyone still did not slack off, and dozens of bows and crossbows were already aimed at the comers. Look at that posture, but if there is the slightest inappropriateness, the crossbow arrows will be fired immediately.

Before he could get closer, the leader shouted, "Xiaoqi Xie Dali has a military report!" ”

Lu Song also recognized the person, waved his arm, and the crossbowman put down the crossbow arrow.

A few people who came dismounted more than ten meters in front of the station, saw Lu Song's location, and ran over: "Lord Lu, Liukou went to Xiaogan County, De'an Prefecture last night, and spent the night in Zhengjiazhuang, ten miles away from the county seat. After dawn today, hundreds of rogues went to Xiaogan County! ”

Xiaogan County is sixty miles away from the boundary of Anyun, and if Jiang Wu and the others follow hundreds of displaced people slowly, they will come here tomorrow afternoon at the earliest; If there were horses, it would be there in less than two hours.

The spies who came back were the same group sent out last night, a total of ten people, five of whom continued to squat near the homeless, and five of whom came back to deliver letters.

Hearing that the bandits divided their troops and went to Xiaogan County, Lu Song knew that things had changed.

It's just that I don't know whether these people fancy Xiaogan's gold and silver, or something else.

The distance between Xiaogan County and Yunmeng County is too close, and the two county seats are separated by less than fifty miles.

Lu Song thought about it, took down his waist card, called a small flag out, gave an order, and ordered him to send news to Yunmeng County.

If the rogues are only for money, if they are to enter the county town to loot horses and weapons, then they cannot be connived. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to resist later.

How they deal with the rogues will have to wait for the next move of the rogues before they can make corresponding judgments.

The sun rose a little higher, and after waiting for more than an hour, two spies hurried back to report the worst news.

Outside the city gate this morning, the rogues entered the city in disguise, subdued the defenders of the south city gate, and hundreds of rogues entered Xiaogan City.

When Lu Song heard this, his eyes turned black. In addition to gold and silver, there are also weapons and horses in the county, and it is not a problem to equip more than 100 people. Coupled with the homeless people going north and several other counties affected, how many armed rogues are there now?

Lu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Explore again!" ”

If there were a large number of armed outlaws, their five hundred people might not be able to deter those outlaws. If the other side has a large number of armed men and horses, then this side can only send people back to the palace for help.

At noon, another spy came back to tell him that some of the displaced people had entered Xiaogan City, and some of the displaced people continued to go north. Those bandits who entered Xiaogan County have not yet come out of the county seat.

When the fourth batch of spies who sent the letter returned, they finally got the letter, and after the bandits entered the county seat, they blocked the wealthy households of the yamen and looked for horses and weapons.

Lu Song's face always showed a little smile. After discussing a few words with a few hundred households and wardens, he ordered the 123 teams to go forward for a mile and began to dig the horse pit, the 4 teams cut branches from the depths of the jungle, and the 5 teams of crossbowmen took turns to guard, and the more than 20 people who were not on guard also dug the horse pit.

Hutou and Chen Daozhi followed Xing Baihu in the fourth team and went into the forest to cut branches.

Although the Dao idiot and the tiger head followed Lu Song, they were neither spies nor crossbowmen. However, at this time, the second child did not have the intention of being lazy, and without waiting for Lu Song's instructions, he also went to dig a horse pit.

Hundreds of people started together, but in an hour, the road that was more than a mile long was already densely covered with horse pits.

When the sun is in the sky, even in the shade of the trees, it feels extremely hot.

Another spy came back, and the bandits and others occupied the Xiaogan arsenal.

Lu Song also discussed countermeasures with several pawns and hundreds of households.

In addition to the fifty crossbowmen who were responsible for the vigilance, the rest of the horses were in teams, and they went into the dense forests on both sides to find temporary stations, and hid in the forest to rest, so that they could unload their armor, and the distance from other teams was not allowed to exceed 100 zhang.

Dao idiot and Lu Bing are two separate again.

Lu Song glanced at the two small ones and said to Xing Baihu: "These two small ones, I can't take care of them for the time being, please trouble Lord Xing to take care of one or two." ”

Xing Baihu was a little impatient, but after looking at Dao Idiot and Lu Bing, he still nodded.

Dao idiot and Lu Bing led the horse, went to the four team station, looked for the tiger head and Chen Chizhong, and the four of them settled down together.

I was overjoyed to get the inexplicable armor in my hands yesterday, but now Dao idiot and Lu Bing can't wait to lose it. The clothes in the armor were already soaked with sweat.

After tying the mount in the chosen place, the Taoist did not forget to remove the saddle and let the mount loosen up.

After cleaning up, the idiot Fang found a vacant place and lay down too early, and his spirit was tense all morning, and he was a little tired after being idle at this time.

The tiger head came over, lay down next to the idiot, and snored after a while.

The Taoist idiot was envious in his heart, dazed, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Second brother, wake up, second brother, wake up!" Lu Bing's hurried voice sounded beside him.

When the idiot opened his eyes, he saw Lu Bingdao: "Liukou left Xiaogan County, and divided his troops to ride north. Quickly put on the armor, just now my father gave the order, and everyone ambushed the rogue here. ”

The Taoist idiot "Teng" got up and was about to touch the armor, but the tiger head had already held his armor over and helped him put it on.

The division of troops between the rogues and the outcasts is good news. Otherwise, the number of people they need to face is tens of thousands.

Although it is necessary to engage in hand-to-hand combat, since Lu Song ordered an ambush instead of letting them go, there is room for war.

Chen Chizhong was already dressed neatly, and said to the idiot: "People don't move their horses, but the saddle is still good." ”

The idiot nodded, saddled his mount, and then ambushed the ground with the three small and four teams.

The four teams set up an ambush in the dense forest before and after digging the section of the horse pit, and the location of the four teams was on the southwest side, which was the location of the interception road.

When Sixiao arrived at the ambush site, he found that Lu Song was also here, and he also brought twenty crossbowmen and a dozen spies.

The hand of the Taoist idiot holding the bow was sweaty, and Lu Song came to the fourth team, obviously treating the fourth team as the main attacker. Think about it, among the four hundred-man teams, only four teams can be the main force.

Dao Idiot looked up and looked ahead, there were pitfalls for a mile of road, and the four teams were responsible for ambushing this nearly 100 zhang distance. Except for the distance from the shelter trees to the official road, he was within thirty zhang of the range.

The afternoon sun was like fire, the leaves were drooping and unenergetic, and the surroundings were quiet, and the sound of chirping insects slowly sounded, and they began to hide in all directions, waiting for an ambush.

A lieutenant lay on the ground, listened for a while, raised his head and whispered, "Here it is!" ”

Everyone held their breath and stared, followed the official road, and looked into the distance.

Faintly, I saw smoke and dust rising from the sky, and a bunch of small black dots appeared.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, smoke and dust whistled in, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in my ears.

The captain in the front was still lying on the ground, and raised his head again and said, "More than 100 horsemen!" ”

When Lu Song heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Five hundred to one, prepared for or unprepared, no need to worry too much.

The Dao idiot watched intently as those centaurs got closer and closer, closer and closer. He had drawn an arrow, put it on his bow, and pointed it at his own range.

More than 100 horsemen galloped, and the horses were uneven, which made the team pull away. But in front, there are also twenty or thirty riders.

Under the gaze of everyone, the bandits are getting closer and closer.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was near the boundary monument, and the leading few people had fallen from their horses.

The horses that followed closely followed also tripped several of them. The man behind felt that something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed the reins.

This kung fu, Xing Baihu had already waved his arms, and everyone shot out in a volley. The twenty crossbowmen beside Lu Song were not idle, and shot out.

The idiot also began to draw his bow and aim, shooting his second arrow.

His first arrow, aimed at a man who had fallen from his horse, was aimed at the chest, but when he shot it, his hand was still heavy, and he only shot it in the abdomen......
