There are more than 100 households in the northwest of Lingshan Weibao, because it is backed by a dirt mountain, most of the people in the village are surnamed Wang, so it is named Wangjiatun.

The land of Shandong has been fierce since ancient times, especially in the land of Qingzhou, and the Qingzhou soldiers who dominated the world during the Three Kingdoms period were born from here.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, due to the serious land annexation, many peasants in Qingzhou who had lost their land but were unwilling to be exploited by the landlords took risks to become grass cowards, robbing past merchants and travelers everywhere. In Wangjiatun gathered such a group of habitual bandits, the leader of the bandits is a local in Wangjiatun, this person is a burly man in his thirties, because he had smallpox when he was a child, he left a pockmarked face, and the people in the township called him Wang Hezi, but few people remember his real name.

Because Wang Haozi was cunning and ferocious, he never left a living mouth when robbing past merchants, and generally killed all the men, and the women snatched back to Wangjiatun for him and his accomplices to enjoy, so he soon became famous in the Lingshanwei generation, and more than 500 outlaws gathered under his hands. A few days ago, Wang Hezi robbed the concubine of Wei Tongnian, the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, who went home to visit relatives, and the Qingzhou prefect was furious, and immediately asked Qingzhou to command the envoy and the Qingzhou soldiers and horses to garrison, and he must destroy Wang Hezi, a gang of thieves who are brave enough to be brave and robbed.

Although the official position of Song Xinghe, the commander of Qingzhou, was one level higher than that of Wei Tongnian, the prefect of Qingzhou, Wei Tongtong and Yang Shiqing, the governor of Shandong, were classmates and friends, and he couldn't help but sell this face, so he and the soldiers and horses garrison issued a letter to order the Lingshan Guard, which was closest to Wangjiatun, to exterminate Wang Haozi and his gang of habitual bandits within a time limit, and specially allocated 2,000 stone of grain and 3,000 taels of silver for this purpose

A rough wooden stick about two meters long, with a rusty iron spear head inserted at one end of the stick, is almost no different from the red tassel gun held by the children's regiment in the classic Chinese movie "Mine Warfare" in later generations.

Since carrying this weapon full of primitive ecological appearance, Pang Gang's mood has become more and more depressed, just the day before yesterday, he was still a glorious chengguan in Xinghu City, chasing small traders every day, drinking some wine with friends and colleagues at night to visit the night market or flirting with female netizens on the Internet at home, this little day I don't know how moisturizing. didn't expect that there were unforeseen circumstances, and in the blink of an eye, he ran to the era of the cheating father at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and became one of the most hard-working soldiers, this huge contrast made Pang Gang's mentality never adjust.

Seeing the surrounding Tun soldiers dressed in various clothes walking on the dusty road as if they were shopping on the street, and holding some messy weapons in their hands, Pang Gang panicked in his heart. Although Pang Gang doesn't know how many bandits there are in Wangjiatun and what their equipment is, Pang Gang can be sure that even if the equipment of those bandits is worse, it will be stronger than them, after all, people's profession is to kill people and set fires, and what about these people around them, let them farm the land, let them cut people, forget it.

However, their Senhu Lord still felt good about himself, riding an inferior earthy horse, holding a polished spear in his hand, and a scimitar hanging from his waist, looking left and right on the horse's back was very majestic.

Secretly stared at the scimitar in He Zhengnan's waist with his eyes, Pang Gang recognized at a glance that it was the one he "honored" to him yesterday, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, for fear that He Zhengnan, who was not far away, would notice his gaze, Pang Gang lowered his head and followed closely behind Da Zhuang.

The team set off from Si Shi, and walked for two hours, until Shen Shi arrived at the foot of a mountain ten miles away from Dawangzhuang, at this time the formation of more than 600 Tun troops had long been scattered, and the Tun troops who were originally still following their own hundred generals were all staggering and screaming, and some even sat on the side of the road and let their own Bai Zong or Jia Ding scold and beat, but they couldn't get up on the ground.

Seeing such a scene, He Zhengnan's mood naturally did not improve, but he did not have a seizure, but held back his anger and ordered the team to stop and rest, otherwise the team of more than 600 people in Wangjiatun would have run away long ago.

After receiving the order to rest, hundreds of troops went around looking for a place to rest like an amnesty, even the more than 100 family members.

Pang Gang and a dozen companions came to a slope at the foot of the mountain and sat down, took out a bamboo tube containing water from his waist and drank a few sips of water, squinting at the small forest at the foot of the mountain not far away, and was silent.

Da Zhuang, who was sitting on the ground, glanced at Pang Gang and said with a smile: "Gangzi, I didn't see it, you kid is quite able to walk, it's been two hours since you left, and you haven't fallen behind." ”

As the name suggests, the big and strong people are very stout, although the nutrition in the ordinary world is not very good, but it is still much stronger than other people. He originally thought that Pang Gang, who was white and clean, would have to fall behind the team after walking for an hour, but he didn't expect that this kid would still follow him so vigorously after walking for two hours in a row.

In the face of Da Zhuang's praise, Pang Gang just smiled faintly and did not speak, although he had no experience of long-distance marching, but he had just crossed from the afterlife, and his nutrition was very good, coupled with the physical fitness of "exercise" often due to the quality of his work, it was not too difficult for him to walk for an hour or two.

"Gangzi, why do you keep looking at the woods over there? Could it be that there is something that can't be done? The thinner dog Yu was more careful, and when he saw that Pang Gang was always heading in the direction of the woods, he asked carefully.

After pouring a sip of water, Pang Gang said slowly: "Don't you think this road is too quiet all the way?" It stands to reason that five or six hundred of us came here with great fanfare along the way, even the blind people know it, and those thieves in Wangjiatun don't know? Now that we're all close to their lair, don't you wonder if they don't move at all? ”

"What's so strange, maybe those thieves have fled long ago when they saw our army gathered!" A voice came out from behind him, and Pang Gang fixed his eyes to see that it was Li Yuan, the young man who led him yesterday, and behind him stood an old man in his fifties, with half of his sideburns and beard white, and the mandarin duck jacket on his body had also been filled with more than a dozen holes.

"Yuan'er, don't mess around!" The old man glared at Li Yuan and then smiled at Pang Gang, "This little brother, don't be surprised if the dog is young and ignorant. ”

"It's fine!" Pang Gang smiled faintly, pointed to the woods in front of him and said, "I'm just talking casually, I can't take it seriously." But if I were one of those habitual bandits, I would have sent a small group of men to find a way to lure the officers and soldiers into the woods, and then set up an ambush in the woods, and wipe us out with the familiar terrain. ”

"Cut, you said they would come out when they came out, how could this be." The young man on the side pursed his lips.

"Yuan'er!" The old man reprimanded his son a little angrily, and smiled helplessly, this son is really not worry-free, he always offends people for no reason.

However, Pang Gang didn't take the young man's words to heart, and his mind had already turned elsewhere at this time.

As if God wanted to verify Pang Gang's words, more than a dozen men in tattered clothes ran out of the woods less than three hundred meters away from Pang Gang, each holding a big bow in their hands and shooting towards the dozen or so soldiers who were sitting near the woods.

"Enemy Attack, Enemy Attack"

"Those habitual bandits are coming!"

After more than a dozen soldiers were attacked, they immediately alarmed the nearby tun army who was resting, and the tun army, who had never seen blood, immediately screamed loudly, and the first reaction of the soldiers who had never experienced such a thing was not to prepare to meet the enemy, but to run around like sheep.

All this happened in just half a cup of tea, and everyone who hadn't reacted was stunned.

Da Zhuang looked at everything that happened not far away and muttered to himself, "Gangzi was really right, those thieves are really here."
