Wangzhuang is now a little larger, and several small villages around it have been merged, although the number of people is not as large as that of Zhao Zhen, but it is also quite a lot, with a total of about 2,000 people. Among them, the number of the land protection group is about 700 people.

The leading colonel is Dai Zuoxin, and people call him Xiao Dai.

Since the last time Wang Zhuang was attacked by Zhang **zi, Xiao Dai seriously repaired the wall, the wall is not wide, but it can also walk four or five people side by side, but the wall is very high, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, a tall watchtower was built next to the four gates of the east, west, north and south to check the movements around him.

Because he was worried that Zhang Ermazi from Hequ would come to avenge his brother, Xiao Dai asked Niu Decao for help, and Niu Decao gave Xiao Dai some real soldiers, making the number of Xiao Dai's personal soldiers reach one hundred. In this way, with the addition of the regimental members of the land protection regiment, the quasi-combatants of Wangzhuang reached more than 800 people.

But Xiao Dai had a lesson, so he never dared to be careless, so the gate and wall of the village were always guarded by soldiers and regimental soldiers in turn.

And in the evening of this day, Niu Decao suddenly came, and brought with him three hundred elite soldiers, all of whom were cavalry.

"Master Niu, why are you here?" Xiao Dai is very strange.

Niu Decao smiled hehehe, "What?" Can't I come? Now you immediately order someone to seal the village, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the king's village. Gather together the soldiers and the men of the Protectorate. ”

"What? Master Niu, do you want to fight? Is Zhang Er Mazi coming! Xiao Dai asked.

Niu Decao nodded, so Xiao Dai excitedly went to the task.

Zhang Er Mazi thought he was very hidden, but he was actually discovered very early.

There were quite a few people who came this time, more than 600 people, which is also a large group of bandits. Because of the large number of people and the warm weather at this time, Zhang Er Mazi decided to cross the Yellow River on a sheepskin raft to attack Wangzhuang, which was not far from the Yellow River.

The Xikou Ancient Bridge, which is very close to the county seat of Hequ, cannot be walked, and there are already Li Guo's soldiers stationed there.

However, because of the large number of bandits, and the mobile scouts sent by Li Guo to patrol along the Yellow River from time to time, Zhang Er Mazi's people had already been discovered before they all crossed the Yellow River.

So, the commander of the squad sent two people to report the news, and the rest of the people watched from afar.

Niu Decao knew the news as soon as possible, in addition to sending people to strengthen the protection of the two nearby villages and towns, and personally brought people to Wangzhuang. Niu Decao judged that Zhang Er Mazi would definitely attack Wang Zhuang and avenge his brother.

Zhang Er Mazi was indeed going to attack Wangzhuang, and he had already arrived near Wangzhuang when it was dark.

Zhang Er Mazi looked in the direction of Wangzhuang, and saw lanterns hanging on the gate and wall, and there were patrols on the wall.

Zhang Er Mazi nodded, "It's okay, the people inside don't know that we're coming." ”

One of the bandits next to him asked, "Second Master, how do you know that the people inside don't know about us?" ”

"If they knew, they would have put out the lights and waited for us to take the bait." Zhang Er Mazi said confidently.

So, Zhang Er Mazi began to wait, and he would not attack until the sentry was trapped.

In the second half of the night, when the mobile sentinels were finally gone, Zhang Er Mazi waved his hand, and the bandits quickly ran towards the wall. Because of the preparation, even the long ladder used to climb the wall has been prepared.

Zhang Er Mazi saw that dozens of ladders had been erected, and the bandits were about to climb the wall, and he was happy in his heart, this small village was about to be captured. In this way, not only can you avenge your eldest brother and increase your prestige, but also make a fortune by capturing the village.

However, at this time, a large number of people suddenly poured out of the wall, and they not only overturned the ladder, but also kept shooting arrows at the bandits.

Zhang Er Mazi panicked and wanted to escape, but saw that there were only about 100 people on the wall, very few bows and arrows and weapons, and they all held farm tools in their hands.

"Attack! Attack inside! Those are peasants, do not resist! Zhang Er Mazi roared.

Seeing the situation, the bandits kept shooting arrows at the city, and set up ladders.

However, the people on the wall were very brave, and the bandits could not attack it for a while.

Zhang Er Mazi was anxious, and he pulled out his knife and was about to climb up the ladder.

But at this time, Zhang Ermazi, who climbed the ladder, suddenly found that there were countless torches far away from Wangzhuang, which were rapidly approaching Wangzhuang, and the dense sound of horses' hooves could also be heard.

Zhang Er Mazi folded off the ladder with his head, my dear mother! Zhang Er Mazi was startled.

Looking at the number of torches and the dense sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Zhang Er Mazi knew that there were a lot of cavalry. These cavalrymen don't sleep in the middle of the night, and when they come here, the target must be him!

Zhang Er Mazi listened to the rumbling horses' hooves, looked at the distance of the torches that were getting closer and closer, and shouted, "Run!" ”

The bandits also saw the danger at this time and were ready to flee for their lives.

At this time, the gate of Wangzhuang's fortress opened, and seven or eight hundred people rushed out of the village, and the cavalry was the first, holding a long knife in his hand, shouting and killing. The ones in the back were armed with all kinds of weapons, and the farm tools were also killed.

Seeing that the cavalry in the distance gradually poured over, the bandits had no fighting spirit at all, just a strong run.

The bandits were not attacked by the cavalry who came from afar, but they didn't expect the people in mixed clothes from Wang Zhuang to be extremely fierce. Except for the brave soldiers with weapons in their hands, those with farm tools went crazy and killed the bandits.

What happened to these peasants? The bandits don't understand. These peasants know very well in their hearts, they are followed by cattle and grass!

The mighty peasants who have grass have seen that last time a person from the Wangzhuang Land Protection Group was cut down just for talking nonsense, and now they may be cut down if they don't work hard. So, they have to fight hard! Moreover, if you are brave in battle, you will be rewarded! The last time I fought with Zhang **zi, more than a dozen people got a tael of silver.

Therefore, in the eyes of the peasants of these land protection regiments, these bandits are not bandits, but silver!

Therefore, seeing the bandits who were constantly being knocked down, Zhang Er Mazi couldn't help but regret it. Not to mention the enemy reinforcements rushing in, even if these people really attack Wangzhuang, they will definitely not be able to get any benefits. Just now, the people in Wang Zhuang were hiding their strength.

In the distance, the cavalry had already run to them, but instead of chasing, they sounded the gong.

You must know that the march must beat the drums of war, and the gong will be sounded only when the troops are collected.

But Zhang Er Mazi can't think too much about it, he only has one thought now, run!

There were only more than 100 bandits left on the banks of the Yellow River, and Zhang Er Mazi was the first to jump on the sheepskin raft and shouted loudly, "Row, row!" When he reached the middle of the river, Zhang Er Mazi turned his head, looked at the boundary of the river meander, and thought hatefully, never come to the river meander, and I won't come if I kill my son!

Niu Decao ordered the men and horses to clean up the battlefield and walked in the direction of the gong himself, and he knew that Li was coming.

Li Guo was sitting in the camp he had just set up, not only Gu Ying, Li Twelve, Li Qiang, Jiang Chang and other generals by his side, but Niu Decao found that Liu Tichun was also here, and some of the leaders of the child soldiers who stayed behind were also present. Except for Nie Xin, there was no one else.

Niu Decao was busy saluting Li Guo, "Master, didn't I say that to deal with these bandits, are we enough for ourselves?" How did you put on such a big stance? In addition, seeing that the enemy is about to be completely annihilated, why did you sound the gong and withdraw your troops? ”

Li Guo smiled, "Hmph, do you think I'm here to help you fight?" ”

"Isn't it?" Niu Decao was a little puzzled.

"It's not!" Li Guo looked at Niu Decao, "I ordered people to Mingjin to collect troops, what I'm afraid of is that you will kill all those bandits, because we want to let these bandits go back, not only will they go to Fugu, but I will also go, and I will also go to be bandits!" ”

Niu Decao was stunned and found that except for Li Twelve, Jiang Chang and others who were wearing the clothes of the Ming army, the rest of the people were wearing miscellaneous clothes of various colors.

Niu Decao smiled, "Master, I understand, you want to dress up as bandits and rob Fugu." ”

Li Guo nodded, "Count you kid understand, yes, we are going to Fugu, and we are going to rob." ”

It turned out that Li Guo had planned carefully and had already decided to go to Fugu to fetch grain. Therefore, in addition to gathering the troops who stayed in Hequ, Li Guo ordered Liu Tichun in the old camp to leave a few troops, and the rest of the elite soldiers and the slightly older child soldiers to go out of the camp together and come to Hequ to join up, in order to go to Fugu to make trouble.

Hequ only left Li Twelve, Li Qiang, and Jiang Chang to garrison, and the rest of the people had to go to Fugu to rob.

Therefore, now Li Guo has nearly 2,000 troops and 1,500 child soldiers to fight, which is almost all of Li Guo's troops.

Because when they arrived in Fugu, they were not mainly facing bandits, but also the Ming army.

There is also a thousand generals in Fugu County, and although the quota of soldiers and horses is insufficient, the intelligence spies sent back to report back also have more than 400 people. It's easy to defeat them, but how to defeat them easily, you have to concentrate superior forces.

"Get grass, hurry up and change your clothes and come with us!" Li Guo commanded.

"Master, okay!" Hearing that there was a fight, the ox hurriedly agreed.
