Now that the two sides are closer than before, Zhang, Li and the other three soon arrived at the gate of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp". However, this time the attitude of the gate guard was very different from the last time, and instead of letting the two into the camp, they warned them not to approach the camp, otherwise they would be killed.

Zhang Degao couldn't take care of it at this time, and while negotiating with the sentry guarding the door, he shouted loudly for Qian Yuanshan to come out to see him. Maybe his shouting worked, or maybe the sentry took the trouble to go in and give a pass, anyway, just when Zhang Degao was about to shout hoarsely, Qian Yuanshan's figure finally appeared on the parapet of the camp.

Seeing that Qian Yuanshan was finally willing to appear, Zhang Degao ignored the danger of being shot, hurriedly came to the bottom of the parapet wall, and said to Qian Yuanshan above: "How can Qian Yuanshan be so untrustworthy, since he has promised to collect troops and return to the mountain, why did he go and return again, and approach my 'Zishi Village' again?" ”

Qian Yuanshan unhurriedly poked his head out of the wall slightly, and said to Zhang Degao with a normal face: "Envoy Zhang's words are wrong. Qian and the brothers acted completely in accordance with the original agreement between you and me, where did they not keep their promises? ”

"Yesterday, the Qian family and the villain clearly agreed that as long as I'm 'Zishi Village' to offer 1,200 taels of gold, the Qian family will lead his brothers to set up camp and return to Xiayunling. Moreover, after collecting the gold early this morning, the Qian family had already led the army to the north, which shows that he was willing to abide by the agreement. But now the money in charge is stationed in a place less than five miles away from my 'Zishi Village', isn't this a disobedience? Zhang Degao asked angrily.

After listening to Zhang Degao's questioning, Qian Yuanshan showed a puzzled look and said: "Where did Envoy Zhang come from, Qian Mou remembered the agreement with Envoy Zhang yesterday clearly, and it was not at all as Envoy Zhang said." ”

Qian Yuanshan's rhetoric made Zhang Degao a little confused for a while, and he subconsciously asked: "Yesterday, the villain obviously made such an agreement with Qian Dangjia, how could it be wrong?" ”

"Of course there is a mistake," Qian Yuanshan said, "Yesterday, the agreement between Qian and Zhang's envoy was obviously that the 'Zishi Village' voluntarily offered 1,200 taels of gold, and our army immediately set up camp." Qian agreed like this yesterday, and he did the same today. As soon as the gold in Guizhai arrived, Qian ordered his subordinates to pack up and dismantle the camp without delay. These envoys not only saw it with their own eyes, but also after the camp was pulled out, Zhang envoys and Li envoys also accompanied Qian for a while, how could they say that Qian was not trustworthy at this time? Could it be that your 'Zishi Village' thinks that my 'Flying Dragon Village' is easy to bully, and you deliberately came to provoke it? ”

Zhang Degao was stunned by Qian Yuanshan's words at first, and then immediately understood that he had fallen into the trap of others and was pitted by Qian Yuanshan's text trap -- Qian Yuanshan promised yesterday to pull out the camp and start the village, but he did not say that he would return to Xiayunling after the camp was completed. And this morning, they went north, just deliberately to create an illusion for Zhang Degao. In other words, he spent 1,200 taels of gold on his side, but in exchange for only letting the other party move, and moving closer to him.

Thinking about this, Zhang Degao knew that it was useless to say anything now. The other party has no intention of withdrawing troops at all, and the reason why they will agree to "exchange gold for peace" is just deliberately playing tricks on themselves. Thinking that because of his own incompetence, he didn't see that the other party had no sincerity to make peace at all, not only did the cottage give the other party 1,200 taels of gold for nothing, but also made the big boss a laughing stock on the green forest road, Zhang Degao was remorseful.

Zhang Degao felt that he really didn't have the face to go back to see Shi Song again, and he said to Li Maocai: "Brother Li, brother, I ruined the big thing of the village owner this time, and I really don't have the face to go back." Annoyed Brother Li, you brought the meaning of 'Feilong Village' to the big boss, and apologized to the big boss on behalf of my brother, saying that his old man's kindness and I Zhang Degao can only repay it in the next life. Leave. After speaking, Zhang Degao didn't care whether Li Maocai understood it or not, whether he was willing to help him pass on this word, and turned around and went down the mountain without looking back.

Li Maocai stood there stunned for a long time, Zuihou gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, called the minion who came with them, and told this soldier the content of the conversation between Zhang Degao and Qian Yuanshan just now, as well as the words that Zhang Degao wanted to convey to Shi Song. Immediately afterwards, he also followed Zhang Degao's words and sent a message to repay kindness in the next life. After making sure that all the minions had been written down and there were no omissions, like Zhang Degao, he turned around and left. ,

It wasn't until Li Maocai's back disappeared into the woods in the distance that the minion reacted, and ran to the "Purple Stone Village" to report this series of bad news to Shi Song.

It is conceivable what Shi Song's reaction will be when he gets these news, no matter how old and cautious he is, it is impossible to suppress his anger in the face of such tricks and bullying. In a fit of rage, he immediately ordered the gathering of minions and prepared to fight to the death with those untrustworthy villains in the "Flying Dragon Village".

His two brothers-in-law, who had already proposed to fight with the "Flying Dragon Village", naturally had no objection to his decision. Immediately ordered 500 minions in the village, and after leaving 150 people led by Shi Song's son Shi Liang to guard the cottage, he took the other 350 people out of the village with Shi Song and went straight to the Zishi Beach by the Zishi River, where the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp" was stationed.

Shen Shizheng and Shi Song led the team to the left of the Purple Rock Beach, and the "Feilong Village" camp across the Purple Stone River. Looking at the camp on the other side of the river with a huge flying dragon flag, Shi Song was angry. After making a little observation, and making sure that the other side had not set up any ambush on the bank of the river, he led his minions to wade across the river along the usual passage - although the Zishi River was only about 20 zhang wide during the rainy season, the water was very deep, and only a few shallow places could be waded in.

From Shi Song leading people to the river, to the "Purple Stone Village" all the minions wading across the river, and reorganizing the team on the opposite bank, there was no movement in the camp of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion". Although this strange phenomenon also made Shi Song suspicious, driven by the shame before the bloodbath, he couldn't care so much.

It wasn't until Shi Song led the minions who had formed a formation to press over the camp that there was movement in the large camp of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion". As the gate of the camp was opened, Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin, Tang Chao and Mutel led all the soldiers to rush out of the camp and line up in front of the camp

-- The battle consisted of all of the 1st Squadron, 2 squads of the 3rd Squadron, and all of the Ranger Squad.

Of these, the first squadron was in the center, the two squads of the third squadron were on its left and right, and the ranger squad was divided into two, covering on the flanks farther away. Behind them, Chang Shengjun led a squad of the 2nd Squadron, an artillery squad, and a logistics squad to guard the barracks and support the combat units in front with artillery fire when their own situation was critical.

The teams of both sides stopped advancing when they were separated by two arrows, and stood there silently, waiting for the moment of decisive battle. At this time, there was silence on the purple pebble beach, only the flags of both sides were blowing fiercely under the hot summer wind.

In the silence, Shi Song called the soldier who reported the news to his side, asked him to identify the leader of the "Flying Dragon Village", and stared viciously at the array of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" opposite and Qian Yuanshan in the center of it for a long time. Although Shi Song now hated Qian Yuanshan and the minions of the "Flying Dragon Village" to the core, his years of experience in the green forest told him that the neat formation and high morale of the minions on the opposite side were by no means comparable to the minions of the "Five Tiger Village" a few years ago - especially the two wings of the opposing infantry array had twenty or thirty cavalry on each flank.

For a moment, Shi Song even had the idea of collecting troops and returning to the camp and defending the village. But this thought was only fleeting, on the one hand, if he retreated to the village, no matter what the outcome of the battle would be, his reputation for being timid and afraid of the enemy would be realized. At that time, even if the "Purple Stone Village" still exists, he will not have the face to mix on the green forest road anymore. On the other hand, now your own side is tantamount to a battle against the water, if the other party waits for him to cross the river halfway to catch up, it is another sense of half-crossing attack, and his side will definitely be the result of a big rout.

Therefore, regardless of whether there is a difference in strength between the two sides, this battle must be fought. Thinking of this, Shi Song raised the big gun in his hand and prepared to lead the team to rush towards the other party. At this time, Zhang Keyong and Zhao Chengen both rushed to the front of Shi Song, stopped his horse's head, and said: "Big brother, as the so-called 'slaughtering knives are used to kill chickens', you don't have to do it yourself, to deal with this rabble of 'Feilong Village', it is enough to have our brothers." The eldest brother just held back and watched the brother capture the money for the elder brother. After speaking, the two of them didn't wait for Shi Song to answer, and they had already rushed out with their minions one after the other.

When Zhang and Zhao said this, they were neither underestimating the enemy, nor were they bold artists. Like Shi Song, they have already seen that the minions of the "Flying Dragon Village" on the opposite side are by no means easy to get along with, although their side has a slight advantage in numbers, but the other side still has dozens of cavalry after all, and if they really want to fight, the outcome is difficult to predict. The reason why the two of them said that big words and rushed out of battle was mainly out of brotherhood. After all, among the three brothers, only Shi Song has a family, and although there are many women around Zhang and Zhao, they have never officially married a wife, let alone have children, so they can be regarded as careless. If the situation is unfavorable, Shi Song also has time to withdraw to Dazhai and defend the village, so it is possible to reserve a little blood for the three brothers of "Zishi Village".

Shi Song naturally understood the meaning of the two righteous brothers, but when he reacted, Zhang and Zhao had already galloped a few feet away, and it was impossible to stop them. At this time, Shi Song regretted it very much, regretted that he blindly insisted on "breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters" at the beginning, regretted that he easily believed the other party's promise to "withdraw the army after receiving money", and regretted that he impulsively led troops to attack after discovering that he was being teased by the other party. However, there is no "regret medicine" sold in the world, and it makes no sense to think about it now. Today's Shi Song can only pray that God will open his eyes, and the two righteous brothers will win a big victory this time, and kill all the minions of the "Flying Dragon Village".
