"The Monkey is here!"

"The rogue is here!"

A large number of people appeared on the plains of the north, afraid that there were more than a thousand, while crying and fleeing to the south, some dragged their families with their mouths, and some people still carried gold and silver on their backs, but most of them had nothing to lose, and fled with empty hands, it seems that the thieves came quite quickly, and many people did not have time to pack up their things at home, so they ran out.

The cowering rich families and squires in Laomiao Town, as well as the refugees who had arrived here earlier, also began to get nervous, timidly hugged each other, hid in the corners and shivered, and boldly climbed onto the roofs of the town, looking north.

Xu Renjie stood on the second floor of the restaurant, the position was relatively high, and when he looked out of the window, he saw that an army really appeared on the horizon in the north. Judging from the smoke and dust they stepped on, there were roughly three or four thousand people, which is not a lot.

Since Wang Jiayin led the 36th Battalion of the East Road Righteous Army to fight into the west of the mountain, the East Road Righteous Army has only left Zhu Yuanzhang alone, and the West Road Righteous Army has only left Shen Yikui and some combat effectiveness, after the death of Shen Yikui, the West Road Righteous Army has undergone a serious split and has become several armies, that is to say, there are no more decent rebels in Shaanxi * West now, and the situation of tens of thousands of rogues running around like before is not easy to see now.

Xu Renjie groaned slightly, and immediately ordered: "Get out of the city and attack!" ”

The old temple town is just a small town that slowly develops around the temple, not a serious city, there is no city wall to defend, rather than meet the enemy in the town, it is better to pull the army out of the town and line up the military array, so that it is easier to win.

As soon as Xu Renjie gave the order, the eight hundred elite soldiers began to move, and the captains led their own team of 100 people from the town to drill out, intending to set up a formation on the plain to the north. Xu Renjie was neatly dressed, turned over and rode on his war horse, and was about to go out with a few henchmen. For a while, the town was full of soldiers with spears, swords and shields running, and the smell of battle became stronger and stronger.

A group of squires, merchants, and wealthy families led by Zheng Feng were also nervous, although they were unhappy when Xu Renjie came to them to collect taxes, but now they found out that this thief army did not know when it had become their protector...... If this thief is defeated and Luochuan becomes the territory of other thief armies, it will be the real end.

Zheng Feng hurriedly instructed his family to mobilize the Zheng family's township warrior team. The squires and wealthy families next to them also responded, and after a while, a thousand miscellaneous village warriors who were huddled in the town also moved, each led by their employer, and went out of the city with Xu Renjie's army.

In the past, this scene was generally the officers and soldiers in the front, and the township warriors followed closely behind, but now, I don't know how, it has become the thief army in the front and the township warriors in the back...... If Chongzhen's unlucky child saw this scene, he didn't know if he would be angry to death.

Xu Renjie's army array was very fast, and in less than half a pillar of incense, a neat and beautiful military formation appeared in the north of Laomiao Town, faintly blocking the road of the thief army coming from the north. However, the other 1,000 village warriors were terrible, they circled behind Xu Renjie's army, and they couldn't find their place for a long time.

Zheng Feng squeezed to Xu Renjie's side, and said with a wry smile: "Generalissimo Leader, you can arrange a place for our township warrior army......

Xu Renjie rolled his eyes helplessly: "According to the number of strokes of the leader's name, it is lined up from east to west!" ”

He is also in a hurry, for the unnumbered Township Warriors, who should stand in which position, it is really difficult to arrange in a short period of time, simply arrange them directly according to the names of their employers, but it is simple and clear, these leaders are literate, put together a total, and soon the Township Warriors are arranged.

It was not easy to line up here, and the refugees who were chased by the thieves arrived, bypassing Xu Renjiejun and the Township Yongjun in an uproar, and then retreated into the old temple town, these people are not stupid, since there are Jingshui troops who seem to be officers and soldiers blocking the way, as well as the township warriors organized by the local squires, of course they are hiding behind them, it is better than running around.

After the refugees passed, the thieves came......

Xu Renjie has seen several thieves, so he looks very calm, he sits on horseback, his face calmly looks at the thieves from far and near, this thief is no different from the Wang Zuo hanging army he has seen before, the lamp army is no different, the army is not in order, the equipment is chaotic, hoes, pot lids, firewood knives, dung spoons, inevitably these weapons, there are also people riding horses in the army, it seems that it is the leader of several thieves, one of them is obviously guarded by the thieves in the middle should be the leader, he has a short figure, big eyes, and thin cheeks, At first glance, it looks like a monkey.

Needless to say, this must be a monkey!

"That's the Monkey!" Zheng Feng shouted: "Generalissimo Leader...... That guy must be a monkey, looking at him like that, it's just a monkey. ”

"You don't need to say it, Marshal Ben has eyes and can see it!" Xu Renjie said angrily.

"I heard that this guy broke Ganquan and took 108,000 taels of silver ......" Zheng Feng remembered this matter: "Obviously there is so much money, why should we come to our Luochuan to enjoy it!" ”

Xu Renjie couldn't cry or laugh, he really wanted to kick the guy over.

At this time, the thieves had already approached and continued to move forward, and the archers in Xu Renjie's army released a few arrows indiscriminately, and the arrows flew out of the air and inserted into the open space between the two armies...... This action is called "shooting the foot", what does it mean? That is, let you see how far my archers can shoot, and don't go into the range of my archers when you are arrayed, otherwise Hugh blames me for not talking to you, just do it.

The thief army of the Chaos Monkey Department seemed to understand this truth, and when they reached a few dozen steps beyond the range of the bow and arrow, they stopped, and the two army formations confronted each other from afar.

changed Wang Er, maybe he didn't say anything, and directly led the team to start the assault, but Xu Renjie liked to talk nonsense, he opened his throat and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Monkey in the sky, don't invade my territory, it's too late to retreat now......"

He yelled a few words like this purely for the sake of having fun, he didn't expect that the other party would agree, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as his roar stopped, the chaotic monkey on the opposite side immediately responded with a wry smile: "Which hero is in the way here?" I just want to pass by here, nothing else...... Please raise your hand and let me go......"

"Huh?"

Xu Renjie paused: "You didn't come to burn, kill and loot?" ”

The chaotic monkey shouted: "I'm running for my life, how can I be in the mood to burn and loot...... The man in front, please let me go......"

What's going on?

Xu Renjie said loudly: "I am the general under the command of Brother Zhu of Huanglong Cottage, and the Generalissimo of Baishui is also!" You say you're running for your life? Is it being pursued by officers and soldiers? ”

As soon as the Mixed Sky Monkey heard that Xu Renjie had reported to his home, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Your Excellency is the subordinate of Brother Baishui Zhu?" That's great...... That's great...... Can Brother Zhu be in the army? I heard that Eighth Brother Zhu is the most righteous and squandering money, so I begged Eighth Brother Zhu to come forward and say a fair word for my brother. ”

Xu Renjie was confused: "You are being pursued by officers and soldiers, what's the use of asking Zhu Bugling to come out and speak fairly?" Do you think that when Zhu Bugling said a few fair words, the officers and soldiers nodded and said 'reasonable', and then retreated? ”

"No, my brother is not being pursued by officers and soldiers, but by the red flag, a city, and a cloud, they are so unreasonable, obviously they are in the same vein as the righteous army, they don't fight officers and soldiers, they actually chase me to fight...... It's really not about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes...... Ask Bugling Zhu to come forward and help his brother say a few words......"

Xu Renjie Khan, and the squires behind him were also shocked: this ...... It's been a thief's nest for a long time, and the fight is until we Luochuan comes? Are our people in Luochuan wronged? Wouldn't it be good for you to fight yourself, find a place where no one is around, and fight to the death? I want to go to Luochuan to make trouble.

Xu Renjie asked depressedly: "Why did he chase you and fight?" You tell the reason, I'll judge it! ”

Before the chaotic monkey on the other side could explain, Zheng Feng beside Xu Renjie actually shouted first: "Needless to say, 108,000 taels!" If I am a red flag, a city, and a cloud, I will also chase the monkey! ”

"Huh?"

Xu Renjie suddenly woke up to the fact that he himself didn't care much about money and was obsessed with fighting, but most people attached great importance to money, and the fact that the monkey won 108,000 taels from Ganquan had been spread in black and white, no wonder Xue Hongqi wanted to chase him to fight...... I see!

"Xue Hongqi chased you for the 108,000 taels?" Xu Renjie asked.

The face of the chaotic monkey showed a strange look, looking a little angry, a little helpless, and a little bitter, he sighed: "After the news spread that I won 108,000 taels of Ganquan, there were many heroes who came to vote, I was very happy, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, Xue Hongqi came to the door and asked me to give him tens of thousands of taels of silver...... I refused to give it to him, and as a result, he was unhappy and said that if he didn't give it, he would rob it...... He was strong and strong, and I knew that I was not an opponent, so I abandoned Ganquan and fled south into Luochuan, but I didn't expect it...... That guy was reluctant to give up and chased into Luochuan...... It's still hanging from the back of my ass. ”

When Xu Renjie heard this, he finally figured out the ins and outs: "In other words, Xue Hongqi wants to eat black, and you are afraid of him, so he ran from Ganquan to Luochuan, and he chased you and didn't let go...... And that's what it is. ”

"It's ......" the Monkey shouted: "Please ask Eighth Brother Zhu to come out and say something fair, why should I give the silver I robbed to Xue Hongqi?" He is simply too immoral to do this! ”
