After the distribution of the gold and silver, those who had been busy all night went to rest.

slept until the third watch, and Shi Jin and Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Sun Erniang brought 300 soldiers and horses down the mountain.

For four nights in a row, four major harms were destroyed, and Liangshan harvested more than 150,000 yuan in money and goods.

The empty treasury of the cottage has also been replenished, and more than 60,000 yuan has been saved.

The news that the heroes of Liangshan distributed money and grain at the Lijia Road crossing also spread, and more and more people came to receive money and grain.

After robbing two places, Yuncheng County sent a public notice to manage the villages and towns.

When Shi Jin and others hit the third place, they almost pounced, and the big family had already packed up and was ready to move to Yuncheng County the next day, but they didn't expect to delay for only half a day, and they were caught by the soldiers and horses of Liangshan.

Of these three, there was only a small fight in the second place.

Before Shi Jin could make a move, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Sun Erniang killed dozens of Zhuang Ding, and there were no casualties among the soldiers and horses in Liangshan.

Knowing that the big households in the villages under the management of Yuncheng County had fled to the county seat, Shi Jin changed direction and hit a big household in Shouzhang County in the north on the fourth night.

In order to solve the problem of minions saving money, the cottage opened a money village in Dazhai, and everyone can deposit and withdraw at any time, but there is no interest.

As soon as the money village opened, it was immediately welcomed by the cottages.

Everyone saves their money in the bank, and they don't have to worry about their money every day, after all, not everyone is spilled.

On this day, Shi Jin led the troops back to the cottage, and heard that Huang An brought more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to fight in Jejuzhou, so he went to the Juyi Hall with the leaders to discuss how to resist the enemy.

Ruan Xiaoqi heard that someone was coming to fight, so he shouted: "Those guys came to beg for death, so we took hundreds of children down the mountain, killed them all in one shot, and then beat Jeju, and also killed some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that the world knows that we are good men in Liangshan." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Don't rush to fight Jeju, let's teach them a lesson, so that the Jeju dog officials don't dare to look at us." Can the military advisor have a plan? ”

Zhu Wudao: "The Jeju Forbidden Army is not diligent in training, and its combat effectiveness is not high. However, the forbidden army is equipped with a divine arm bow, and it can shoot to our first pass on the golden beach, so it is not advisable to hold on. It is better to take the initiative to go down the mountain, attack it unprepared, and with the bravery of all the brothers, you will be able to win a big victory. ”

Shi Jin nodded and said: "My cottage brothers are like wolves and tigers, and the officers and soldiers of Jeju are just some chickens and dogs, so why hold on." Where are the Jeju officers and soldiers now? ”

Zhang Qingdao: "Yesterday, the officers and soldiers of Jeju drove from Jeju and arrived in Yuncheng County from time to time. Today, they also drove from Yuncheng County in Chenshi, and according to their footsteps, there should be about twenty miles away from Bowai at this time. ”

After the cottage recruited many people, Shi Jin allocated ten more people to Zhang Qing.

After Zhang Qing got new manpower, he asked the two Huo families to bring a few people from their own office to Yuncheng County and Jeju City to open two small hotels to inquire about the news.

Shi Jin heard that the officers and soldiers still had about twenty miles, so he said: "Send a scout horse to find out the news, everyone has a full meal, Chen Da and Yang Chun each take their headquarters, and follow me down the mountain to fight." The military division and Xiao Qi guarded the village, and the rest rested. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I will also fight with everyone." ”

Ruan Xiaowu also shouted: "We will also wait for the officers and soldiers to be killed before resting." ”

Ruan Xiaoer and Sun Erniang, who had just returned to the mountain, also shouted that they wanted to fight.

Shi Jin said with a smile: "A thousand Jeju officers and soldiers, He Lao is a lot of brothers. You just have to sleep peacefully, Chen Da and Yang Chun and I are enough. ”

Chen Da was even more bold, nodded and said: "Those officers and soldiers are useless, and my brother and other brothers should rest in the cottage." Yang Chun and I led the children down the mountain, and we will definitely be able to kill them. ”

Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "I won't be in the way if I kill a few more big households." It is rare for the officers and soldiers to send us a lot of ready-made armor, so we must laugh at most of them. My two teams of horses have also rested for two days, and they are about to take them to capture some officers and soldiers. Okay, that's it, let's go to dinner. ”

On the second night, after Shi Jin took the Ma army away, he prevented the Jeju officers and soldiers from coming to fight, so that the Ma army was ready to fight.

The Huotou army had already prepared wine and meat, and at that moment everyone went to the canteen to have a full meal, put on their armor, and came to the martial arts field in front of the Juyi Hall to order troops.

In less time, two teams of horse troops and four teams of infantry troops were assembled on the martial arts field.

All black suits, the infantry soldiers are armed with a simple sword, and only two groups of ten people in each team are archers. The weapon of the Ma army is a spear, which is actually more of a knife, but the cottage cannot get the knife of the Ma army, so it can only use a spear with the horse army of the imperial court.

Although the swords, spears, and bows and arrows were not as good as the standard weapons of the officers and soldiers, they were all equipped with them, but the armor was seriously insufficient.

The imperial court's ban on armor was stricter than that of bows and crossbows, and it would cost 2,000 li to hide a collar of armor, so there were few people with armor.

Shi Jin is a good martial artist, and there are knives, guns, bows and arrows at home before falling into the grass, but there is no armor, only a pair of front and back iron to cover the heart.

When Chen Da fell into the grass in Shaohua Mountain, he also tied a blacksmith to make a pair of pig iron armor, which is actually two iron plates connected by rubber bands, but with some more arcs, it looks like an iron armor.

After everyone settled in Liangshan, there was no shortage of gold and silver in the cottage, and when Shi Jin asked his minions to go to the neighborhood to buy grain, he also tried to buy some armor at a high price.

As a result, he came into contact with several ruffians who were stealing weapons, and they stole either gongs or rusty nail leaves sold for scrap iron.

The excellent armor did not dare to steal and sell, one was the armament was slack, the officials did not need to check the armor of the armor warehouse, the soldiers did not repair it, the armor in the armor was damaged, and the second was that the imperial court strictly forbade the private possession of the armor, except for the bandits, no one dared to buy the armor.

Once the case is discovered, it is not easy to track it down.

More importantly, when the bandits are in trouble, they are the ones who are responsible for arresting, and no one wants to exchange their lives for money.

The armor of the Song Dynasty was mainly pierced, that is, armor strung with armor leaves.

A complete set of foot armor, more than 1,800 armor leaves, if the protection is reduced, some armor leaves can also be reduced, but to string out a pair of armor, at least 1,000 armor leaves are required.

Some rusted and not serious nail leaves can indeed be used after polishing, but I don't know how much time it takes to polish a pair of nail leaves, so it is better to find a blacksmith to make two pieces of pig iron armor to save trouble.

Therefore, after seeing the nail leaves brought back by the minions, Shi Jin no longer asked them to buy those nail leaves, but all the gongs used in the cottage were bought from those soldiers.

The blacksmith tied by Chen Da didn't come to Shandong before, and Shi Jin couldn't do anything to tie people up the mountain, so there is no blacksmith in the cottage so far.

Up to now, except for Chen Da and Yang Chun, the leaders of the cottage each have a pair of pig iron armor, and Shi Jin has a pair of front and back iron to cover his heart, and the rest of the leaders are leather armor snatched from the officers and soldiers along the way.

The cottage also made some self-made leather armor, but the appearance and protective ability are not as good as the imperial standard leather armor, and even so, only each team is having a share.

Hearing that the last team of people and horses had assembled, Shi Jin, who was standing in front of the Juyi Hall, took a step forward, looked around at the soldiers and horses below, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, the cottage has killed several large households in a row, and the money and grain are piled up, and there is a lack of soldiers. Now that the Jeju officers and soldiers have sent us a message, you have only one task today, and that is to capture as many Jeju officers and soldiers as possible and prevent them from bringing back their armor. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

Liang Shan's minions were basically fighting against officers and soldiers for the first time, and they were still a little nervous, but they were all relaxed after listening to what Shi Jin said.

Shi Jin turned to Zhu Wu and the others: "You don't need to send it, just let the Huotou Army prepare a banquet to celebrate, and the whole mountain will celebrate tonight." ”

Chen Da was also infected by Shi Jin's arrogance, and said with a smile: "Prepare more wine, the birds are about to fade out of your mouth these days." ”

Zhu Wu saw that the two of them were so confident, and arched his hand: "Okay, I'll let the Huotou Army kill some more cattle and sheep, and wait for my brother to triumph." ”

"I'll also wish my brother a great victory."

Shi Jin didn't say anything more, said goodbye to everyone, and came down the mountain.

Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun led the soldiers and horses out of the water, and saw a horse flying over.

Tanma came to Shi Jin, restrained the horse, and reported: "A moment ago, the officer and soldier brigade passed Yangjia Village, and now it should be about twelve or thirteen miles away from here. ”

"Revisit."

Shi Jin gave an order to Tanma, and then led the soldiers and horses forward.

After walking for more than a mile, another scout flew in to report: "The officers and soldiers have turned around and gone to Shijie Village. ”

Yang Chun said: "It seems that the officers and soldiers are going to camp in Shijie Village. ”

Shi Jin nodded and said: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, these guys have always been harassing the village to catch thieves, and they don't want to bother camping. Then we will go to the outside of Shijie Village to ambush. I'll go first and see where I can lay an ambush, and you'll come later. Shi Zhu, come with me. ”

"Okay."

Chen Da responded, and when he saw Shi Jin and Shi Zhu running away, he wondered, "Why didn't my brother take Ma Jun with him?" ”

Yang Chun said with a smile: "A hundred horse troops are running, the dust is all over the sky, and the officers and soldiers may be able to see it from a few miles away, how can they still be ambushed at that time?" ”

"Smack"

Chen Da patted his forehead and said, "Yes, it's so simple, why didn't I think of it." ”

Shi Jin and the others quickly whipped up, and arrived outside Shijie Village in an instant.

The terrain of Shijie Village is flat, and when you look at it, there is really nothing to hide.

Shi Jin had no choice but to point to a small mound on the side of the road not far away, and said, "Shi Zhu, you go and give the order and let the large team of soldiers and horses go to the back of the mound." ”

Shi Zhu was puzzled: "That small mound can hide people?" ”

"If you get close, you can't see it, and if you are farther away, you can't see it. If the officers and soldiers are not careful, it will be enough for us to kill him by surprise. You don't have a better idea, so go and give the order. ”

"Yes."

Shi Zhu didn't find a better place, so he answered and rode away.

Shi Jin hit the horse to the small mound and found that the highest part of the mound was only three or four zhang, but the length was about twenty zhang, and it seemed more appropriate to say that he was a small dirt bag.

Shi Jin dismounted and walked to the mound.

This small mound is about a mile away from the road into Shijie Village, and if the officers and soldiers are lazy on their horses, they will not be able to find it.

There was no shadow of officers and soldiers at the end of the line of sight, but Liangshan's brigade could see it.

Shuibo was not a few miles away from the mouth of Shijie Village, and Chen Da and Yang Chun came on a hurried march, and they were not far behind by Shi Jin.

Seeing the arrival of the brigade, Shi Jin went to the back and commanded the soldiers and horses to set up a formation.

Chen Da looked at the mound in front of him, glared and said, "Can this place hide hundreds of people?" ”

Shi Jin smiled: "There is no better place, it is found and rushed up." ”

As he spoke, Shi Zhu, who was lying on his stomach on the hill, said in a low voice: "There are officers and soldiers who are coming to explore the horses." ”

Shi Jin turned over and got on his horse, ready to rush out at any time.
