"Why did you stop, at this time, you should take advantage of the fact that the thief is defenseless, and immediately take advantage of the situation to kill the mountain, and catch the thief off guard. Now the team is two miles below the thief mountain, and the thief may find us at any time. ”

As soon as Liu Jun heard the order to rest in place, he immediately shook his head and said to Li Chunjiang.

"Let's go and tell Zhao Bingxian that we should attack immediately." Li Chunjiang said.

Liu Jun hurriedly grabbed him, there must be a lot of officials and squires in front of him who understand this matter, but no one said it, what is it when they run over and say it like this? Go with him, anyway, they are here to make soy sauce this time, besides, there are more than 1,000 people, even if the thieves find out, they can't stand it, Liu Jun thought so.

Originally, Liu Jun thought that it was just a temporary rest and preparations for the pre-war attack. But after a while, Zhao Cheng's family came to give an order, saying that there was an order from above, asking each team to bury the pot and cook, and then attack.

Liu Jun was surprised, and even wanted to scold his mother. You stop at the foot of the thief's lair to take a pre-battle break, which is a kind of preparation for the attack. But what's the matter with burying the pot and cooking now, do you really wish the thieves wouldn't find out about everyone?

"Pass the order, each team put on armor and prepare for battle." Liu Jun was angry, but he couldn't control the people above, so he could only let his team take precautions, when he set off, everyone brought some steamed buns, and at this time they brought water to eat, and they were not allowed to bury the pot to cook, and even Liu Jun asked the team members to start wearing armor in advance, and the team members were ready to fire.

"Even if the thieves find us, they won't dare to come down, right?" Li Chunjiang asked.

"Just in case. If everyone has this kind of thought, if the thieves rush down the mountain, won't they be beaten back? Liu Jun thinks it's okay to be prepared.

Liu Jun looked at the thieves' lair, built halfway up the hill in front of them, not in the valley. Obviously, as long as the people in the cottage are not blind, they will definitely find the abnormality under the mountain. Liu Jun patted his forehead, this battle was obviously not properly deployed.

Since the thieves didn't know that the bandit leader, Mazi, and those who had gone out had been killed, then the officials and soldiers should not have engaged in such a big battle and brought so many people.

On the contrary, it only takes a few elite teams of two or three hundred people to be sufficient, and they come quietly all the way, ambush nearby, wait until it gets dark, and then go to the bottom of the mountain to ambush them, and then send some elite people who do not collect them at night or touch them up the mountain, set fires, and create chaos, so that the thieves mistakenly think that the officers and soldiers of the brigade have been killed on the mountain, and then they will naturally be chaotic. If they go to put out the fire and do not come down the mountain, then they will open the gates of their camp at that time.

And if they go down the mountain in a panic, the teams of men and horses who are lying in ambush at the bottom of the mountain will take the opportunity to kill them.

But now the thousands of people with such a big appearance are shaking to the foot of the mountain in the daytime, and they don't attack immediately when they come, and they have to cook here first, which is not a deliberate reminder to the other party. If the other party forcibly attacks the cottage for a while, if the other party insists on stubbornly resisting and attacking the cottage on his back, even if he has a numerical advantage, there will definitely be many casualties.

Unlike Liu Jun, who asked his subordinates to eat dry food and wear armor for defense, the teams in front had already been disbanded in a chaotic manner. He who drinks horses drinks horses, he who fetches water fetches water, he who chops wood chops wood, and he who burns fires.

A group of people in a chaotic manner, sitting and resting, a group in the east and a group in the west, completely devoid of the formation of the rules. And Zhao Cheng and his entourage, the official squire, took his family to climb a nearby hillside, where they watched the situation of the thief's cottage with a clairvoyant mirror.

Suddenly, I only heard a group of frightened birds flying up in the mountains, and a group of people suddenly poured out of the thief's cottage.

"Kill, fight with the officers and soldiers!"

Liu Jun heard the sound, and hurriedly took out the clairvoyant mirror to look at the mountain, only to see that in the clairvoyant mirror, a group of thieves actually took the initiative to kill down the mountain. There were no less than a hundred of them, some with knives and spears, and some with bows and arrows, and they rushed down in a swarm.

Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang looked at each other, this is too out of the routine.

The officials and soldiers are in chaos, and the thieves are even more chaotic.

Obviously, they saw that there were thousands of officers and soldiers under the mountain, but they didn't want to strengthen the defense in the village, so they rushed down the mountain directly.

"Who gave them courage? Who gives them self-confidence? Liu Jun asked stunned.

"They are just a group of thieves, most of them are just outcasts, they rely on such random collisions, how can they know any tactics and tactics." Li Chunjiang pursed his lips with some disdain.

At this time, Liu Jun couldn't help but think, could it be that he had thought about Zhao Cheng and his party wrongly, maybe they had expected that after the thieves found out about them, they would take the initiative to attack, but this is too unbelievable, maybe this should be regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Zhao Cheng, who was watching the terrain on the hillside over there, was also extremely shocked by the sudden killing of the thieves, "A group of thieves who are beyond their own strength, this is self-defeating." Okay, the old man fulfilled them, gave the order, and set up a battle to meet them! ”

Zhu Pet's guard was the front army, and he hurried back to his team and ordered to meet him in armor.

The guards were in a panic, and fifty of his servants put on armor and took up bows and knives, while the rest of the one hundred and fifty guards could only raise their bamboo spears and wooden shields and began to gather in formation.

The villagers, officials, and young and strong men of the rest of the teams here also began to prepare in formation.

And the nine-headed bird and horse team in charge of the palace has already put on their armor and prepared in advance.

"Zhang Donggou, put the gun up, today is just to use these thieves to test the power of our new guy Hydra Bird to carry the gun." Liu Jun shouted to Zhang Donggou.

After the new artillery flag was established, Dong Gouzi was also transferred into it, because of his excellent bird gun shooting skills, he was promoted by Liu Jun to the commander of the left army of the spear-carrying team, and his former boss Cai Yuan was transferred to the captain of the spear-carrying team.

The spear-carrying team consisted of 12 people, equipped with 12 nine-headed bird spears. Winter Dog has changed from a bird picker to a gun-bearer, a spear-carrying captain, and since yesterday, he has been studying the large bird gun, and has even conducted a dozen rounds of live-fire training with other gun-bearers.

Although the nine-headed bird is bigger, it is only a large bird. After more than a dozen rounds of live ammunition, he had already grasped the difference between the bird gun and the gun, and within 100 steps, he could still maintain the same result as the original bird gun, and he had also hit the target in 200 steps.

The triangular bracket was erected, and the one-foot-long large lifting gun was mounted on a rotatable stand, and the winter dog began to load the carrying gun with gunpowder lead. The lead bullet used to lift the gun is larger than that of the ordinary bird, weighing one or two or five dollars a piece, such a lead bullet shoots farther and is more powerful, as long as it is hit, there is no reason to survive.

The six combat teams of the left and right flags set up a mandarin duck formation in front of the artillery flags, behind the spear-carrying team was the rocket team, and in the front were six side-by-side tiger squat artillery teams.

Liu Jun couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the team quickly set up the array, while the teams in front of him were still running around.

"Fight with them!"

"Kill!"

The gang of thieves was still running wildly, rushing down with swords and guns quite fiercely, rushing closer and closer, completely unafraid of the officers and soldiers who were more than ten times their size.

There were more than 100 thieves who rushed down, and the guy who had been shouting at the front was holding a moon-covering knife in his hand, tall and tiger-backed, he was running to the front, and he was still shouting, "Brothers, kill those dog officers and dog soldiers, and let them know how powerful we are!" ”

"A group of bird soldiers, seeing that the big boss is not there, want to come and take advantage of the fire to rob, it is really self-defeating."

"Brothers, don't be afraid, this group of bird soldiers will disperse as soon as they rush!"

This person is the second master of the cottage, and he was also a post guard in the post house in his early years, and later he was planted and removed with Da-Mazi, and then ran to Li Zicheng's army to be a thief. Later, the team was broken up by the officers and soldiers, and ran back with Da-Mazi, plundered everywhere, gathered a group of homeless people, and established a cottage here, hiding here.

They have always been very cautious, every time a team goes out to loot, they must leave a team of people at home to guard the village, and they have always run to dozens of miles away along the Guanghuang Avenue to loot, but never loot in the Qiting area, so no one has ever known that the strongman on the Guanghuang Avenue is actually hiding here.

The sudden appearance of the official army really startled the people in the cottage.

As soon as he saw the appearance of the officers and soldiers in broad daylight, cooking at the foot of the mountain, and the chaotic appearance of the various teams, he immediately felt that this group of officers and soldiers was just a rabble, and maybe it was composed of officials and guards and local township soldiers and people, so he planned to directly take advantage of his unpreparedness to rush down the mountain and catch the officers and soldiers by surprise.

He even felt that the officers and soldiers were likely to be scattered by them.

Although he has a lot of people, which one of them didn't crawl out of the pile of dead people, and which one didn't have a few lives on his hands? They are all refugees, homeless and unemployed, with a rotten life, and if they really fight for their lives, the officials and soldiers will definitely not be able to fight them.

Zhu Pet, who was at the forefront of the mountain, was a little drumming in his heart, although he was said to be a thousand households of Huangzhou Wei and was in charge of a thousand households, but his official was actually a hereditary martial position, which was earned by his ancestors back then, and then passed down from generation to generation. There were more than 1,000 soldiers in his 1,000 households, but in fact, now he only raised 50 families, which is barely a bit of a soldier, and the rest of the military households have either fled, or his family's tenant farmers, and it is rare to train once or twice a year.

This time, he had to come and bring 50 family members and 150 young and strong soldiers, but when more than 100 thieves rushed down, he was afraid.

And those military households were even more panicked, seeing the bandits rushing towards as if they were dying, they even subconsciously wanted to escape.

Zhu Pet knew that Zhao Cheng was staring at him, and knew that if he retreated at this time, maybe Zhao Cheng would directly cut him down with a sword in a fire, and he would have no place to cry.

"Damn, bring the baby at the bottom of the box." Zhu Pet felt that it would not be possible to go on like this, and when the thieves approached, his soldiers might be scattered.

A few family members immediately brought several large wooden boxes from behind, each of which was larger than the piano box, and the outside was carved with dragon patterns.

Zhu Pet watched with a toothache as he opened the lid at one end of the box, revealing the dense arrows inside. He had bought it for a great deal of silver, and had used it for the errand.

Inside each box were thirty-two rockets with gunpowder on them, and thirty-two arrows packed together, each of which was connected by a line of fire, called a swarm of bees. When you use it, aim at the enemy, then ignite the main fuse behind it, and then thirty-two rockets will be launched together, up to a hundred paces away. After launching, it scurried around like a swarm of bees, hence the name Swarm of Bees.

This time, Zhu Pet specially bought twenty cylinders from Commander Wei, which was considered a preparation, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

Seeing that the thieves were getting closer and closer, the guards were already in a commotion, and Zhu Pet hurriedly shouted, "Launch!" ”

The family lit the line of fire, and several screams rang out, and a large area of gunpowder smoke rose up, and then ten swarms of bees were launched together, and three hundred and twenty rockets rushed towards the thief with a stream of fireworks.

The thieves who were running wildly heard the howling sound in the sky and the countless rising smoke, and they couldn't help but feel frightened and their legs weakened. The second boss even recognized at a glance that this was a swarm of rockets commonly used by the officials and the army to deal with the people's army.

He sighed secretly, God will die for me.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, but the screaming soon stopped, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunsmoke, but he found that he had not been hit. He turned his head strangely to look around, and found that everyone was fine, and at this time, you look at me and I look at you like him.

The second master looked forward, but saw that the hundreds of rockets that were terrifying just now actually fell more than ten or twenty steps in front of them.

"Hahaha!" A feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe rose, and the second master shouted excitedly, "The dog officers and soldiers are firearms that cut corners, and the damn scare Lao Tzu jumped, brothers, rush!" ”

The bandits, who were also almost scared out of their urine, immediately burst into laughter when they saw that all the rockets of the officers and soldiers had fallen ten or twenty paces in front of them, and they had just scared them to death, but now they had great contempt for firearms, and they had no fear of anything else. They shouted in unison, and rushed up again.

Zhu Pet over there looked at the results of the battle in amazement, and there was no killing.

"What the hell is going on, didn't you let you launch again within a hundred steps?"

The head of the team replied very aggrievedly, "My lord, we have already launched within ninety steps just now, and we will never be wrong." ”

"Isn't this swarm of bees a hundred paces long, then why was it so far away from the thieves just now?"

"It is estimated that this swarm of bees has cut corners by loading gunpowder, so the range is only seventy or eighty steps."

"his grandma!" When Zhu Pet heard that the secret weapon at the bottom of the box that he bought at a great price was actually a thing that cut corners, he was furious.

"My lord, the thieves are rushing up again."

Zhu Pet looked, and sure enough, the thief rushed faster and closer.

"Again, shoot again at fifty paces this time!" Zhu Pet can only hope for the remaining ten tubes at this time.

The housekeepers took the last ten tubes of bees, opened the lid, aligned, and lit the fire.

The second boss saw the officers and soldiers holding a swarm of bees at them from a distance, and his face couldn't help but change,, how can there be so many swarm bees among the officers and soldiers of dogs. But at this time, he had already rushed to the front, and he couldn't retreat, so he had to shout hard, "Rush, kill these dog thieves!" ”

"Launch!"

Zhu Pet shouted wildly, and all his hopes were pinned on the remaining ten tubes of bees!
