After hearing the news that Qiu Ba had brought people here, Huang Ke realized that danger was coming.

He hurriedly instructed Fourteen Tsai: "Go and call Cui Wu over, let him take the guards to get the guns, remember, everyone must bring more bullets." ”

"Okay" Fourteen Tsai nodded and was about to leave, Huang Ke suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, after calling Cui Wu over, you go and arrange a carriage in person, wait for me to give you a gun, you send the eldest lady to Guangzhou City now, the sooner the better!" ”

Fourteen hesitated for a moment.

"What are you doing? Just go! Also, after arriving, I went to the Gui army to move reinforcements, these bandits seem to have already gone out of the nest, and we can't hold it alone. ”

When Zhao Xiaowan heard that she was going to send herself away, she didn't leave, and she was noisy and wanted to come to watch the battle in person. Fourteen can't control it at all, and he doesn't dare to control it.

Huang Ke saw her scolding like this: "If you want to die or live, hurry up and go farther, Lao Tzu has to do the right thing now, don't delay it." ”

The anger was not smoothed, Huang Ke saw that Fourteen was so soft, and scolded him again.

"If you can't even take care of a woman, what else do you want to do? Now go down the road through the back door, and be sure to send the young lady away safely. Tell you Fourteen boys, if Lao Tzu's woman is missing a hair, turn around and pick your skin! ”

"You hooligan, who is your woman?" Zhao Xiaowan suddenly shouted at Huang Ke.

Huang Ke won't have time to quarrel with her: "Why don't you send Miss away quickly?" ”

Fourteen Tsai was respectful and afraid of the Huang Ke in front of him, as soon as he finished scolding, Fourteen Tsai actually pushed Zhao Xiaowan into the carriage as if he had beaten chicken blood, then closed the door and raised a whip, and drove towards Guangzhou City.

Cui Wu urgently summoned the seventeen or eighteen working merchant soldiers, saying that they were soldiers, but in fact, they just took their guns and put on the military uniforms designed by Huang Ke, and nothing else changed.

In the past few days, these dozen or so people have simply practiced shooting guns and standing in military posture, which is a typical recruit egg.

The spy said that Qiu Ba came this time with seventy or eighty bandits, more than 70 fast guns and more than 30 horses, can he do it with just a dozen people?

When he spoke, Zhao Tinghui and Steward Wang had already rushed over, and the two of them were also in a hurry this time.

I heard that Qiu Ba's visit this time is different from the past, in the past, he used to extort and get some money and leave, but he would kill people when he saw them, and he was not merciless at all, and he had already killed many people along the way.

Looks like he's ready to kill him.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, look at Qiu Ba again! What do you think is going to do? Zhao Tinghui's anxious appearance made Huang Ke look down on him in his heart, and he scolded in his heart.

"It's all your fault, you annoyed Qiu Ba and disbanded the guards, are you trying to harm us?" Steward Wang blamed Huang Kelai.

"Fuck you!" Huang Ke couldn't help but push Steward Wang away, this old fox should have gotten out of Huang Ke's opinion.

Huang Ke didn't apologize after pushing down Steward Wang, he turned his head and said to Zhao Tinghui: "What are you afraid of? Lao Tzu led troops to protect you, and did not send people to find support. ”

Zhao Tinghui only then remembered the importance of the merchant army, and he called a family member and said: "Hurry up and find Chen Bolian, let them send the merchant army over, and say that we have been bandits!" ”

The family crossed the horse and walked away, but it would take more than three hours to go back and forth to Guangzhou at the earliest, and it was still unknown to Huang Ke whether he could withstand three hours.

"All the personnel come with me, take a look in front of the walled gate"

Huang Ke's team of soldiers has changed into a new national uniform as a military uniform, plus a wide armed belt, which looks particularly energetic.

There is an artificially excavated moat outside Luokou Town, and there is a suspension bridge at the crossing of the river, which is the main entrance, but at this time the suspension bridge has been put away because Qiu Ba is coming.

"Put the drawbridge down," Huang Ke said as he led the team to the front of the stockade and said to the person guarding the drawbridge next to him.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Zhao Tinghui was even more surprised, he looked at Huang Ke and couldn't understand that he would come up with such an idea.

"Confused! Confused! Steward Wang walked over with a limp, he glared at Huang Ke and said, "I think you are Qiu Ba's spy." The proprietor, hurry up and throw him down from the city gate. ”

Zhao Tinghui hadn't spoken yet, Huang Ke walked forward quickly, he pushed away the butler Zhao in front of him, and scolded: "Old immortal thing, hurry up and get rid of Lao Tzu." ”

After scolding Steward Wang, Huang Ke didn't stop, he pointed to the dust raised by Qiu Ba's horse team in the distance and said, "Brother Zhao, the purpose of opening the hanging door is to attract some of Qiu Ba's people in, so that we still have a good chance of winning." ”

"Otherwise, if we close the drawbridge, a dozen of us will not be able to defend such a big wall, and in less than half an hour, we will collapse, and then there will be no chance of winning at all."

Zhao Tinghui did not speak after hearing this.

"When Qiu Ba enters the town, we all have to die! Do you want to repeat your father's tragedy? Huang Ke was in a hurry.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Tinghui couldn't help but be stunned, his face slowly tightened, his eyes gradually expanded, and a wave of anger slowly rose in his heart.

Huang Ke knew that his words could be regarded as tying him to himself.

"That's right!" Zhao Tinghui suddenly spoke after thinking about it, it wasn't that he couldn't see it, but he didn't want to take risks. Huang Ke's words just now were to tie him to this chariot, not to mention that Huang Ke used his father's death to provoke him.

Huang Ke looked at Zhao Tinghui after speaking, this indecisive man seemed firm at this time.

Zhao Tinghui clenched his fists and said: "Brother Huang, you are right, I don't know how to fight, but I believe you will win." Please! ”

"Do your best!" Huang Ke also bowed his hand and thanked him.

After finding a suitable reason, Zhao Tinghui and his party quickly left the scene. With some soft family members and the door locked and sealed tightly, they rode a few fast horses to the back of the town.

He knew there was a door that would accompany him to escape at any time.

Huang Ke naturally understood his thoughts, this guy was a typical businessman, and he couldn't afford to be unprofitable.

However, when Nian Zai was his brother-in-law in the future, and he might need his money to support himself, Huang Ke bypassed his greed for life and fear of death this time.

Wait! Wait for Lao Tzu's triumphant return to marry your sister.

With a sound of putting down the suspension bridge, dozens of slender men began to loosen and drag the large fiber of the suspension bridge, and the sound of clicking the falling fiber rope continued to sound, and finally with a bang, the suspension bridge fell steadily to the ground.

"All the soldiers are lying in ambush on both sides of the city gates, and all the rifles are loaded! The others prepared the spears and knives in their hands, and Huang Ye will take you to open the meat today! ”

Huang Ke was holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, and his eyes were looking into the distance.

In the distance, Qiu Ba's vanguard troops, the more than thirty cavalry were already only a few thousand meters away from them. More than thirty horses galloped along the road, raising a puff of smoke and dust and frightening some people.

Steward Wang is one of them.

Steward Wang stood on the gate building not far away, he looked at the bandits running in the distance from time to time, but his two hands were holding on to the vertical pole next to him, and his body was still slightly trembling.

Huang Ke turned his head to glance at it, scolded the old man in his mouth, and then walked to the team.

The seventeen merchant soldiers really have any combat effectiveness, don't look at the rifles they still have in their hands, but it is still unknown whether the first shot can be fired.

However, Huang Ke firmly believes that a lion leading a sheep will be invincible.

Huang Ke knows that his battle is also full of too much gambling, but isn't life a big gamble?

"You are divided into two teams on both sides of the walled gatehouse, forming a crossed formation. All of them are loaded and they are shot at my command, understand? ”

"Understood" Although the voice was not loud, it was consistent, Huang Ke walked up to Cui Wu and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, it's up to you!" ”

Cui Wu was not good at words, and replied to Huang Ke with the answer he needed with his eyes.

After the deployment, Huang Ke asked more than a dozen baskets of fresh fish to be brought up, and more than a dozen fishermen also ambushed on both sides with one basket each.

When Huang Ke's side was almost arranged, the bandits on horseback led by Qiu Ba had already arrived in front of the suspension bridge. Huang Ke let everyone ambush, and he himself stood on it and observed.

Just like last time, Qiu Ba's group of bandits were still wearing earth-gray military uniforms, wearing five-star large-brimmed hats on their heads, and dozens of "soldiers" on horseback carried short rifles on their backs, and rushed over with great force.

When he was about to reach the gate of the village, Qiu Ba grabbed the reins of his horse and slowed down. The gate is not wide, and only four horses can be walked side by side, and more than thirty bandits on horseback need to enter in turn.

Qiu Ba looked at the chaotic bazaar, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Because of their arrival, the originally lively bazaar has become empty, and who is not afraid of bandits?

"Rush in and grab money and women with Lao Tzu!" Qiu Bayi waved his hand, and the bandits behind cheered.

Huang Ke looked at Qiu Ba, who was riding on a horse with a fat tudu under his feet, and his heart was full of disdain.

Qiu Ba, Lao Tzu will use your head to sacrifice the flag, from now on, Lao Tzu will start his own great cause of stealing the country.
