After Li Shiqing left, Ye Zheng began to lead Niu Sanyan and others to dig pits and bury mines in the mountain roads of Qingzhu Valley.

Niu Sanyan and the others saw Ye Zheng burying the mines into the dug pit one by one, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Ye...... No, isn't it...... That Ye Zhai master, what are you doing burying these iron camels in the dirt pit? These iron camels are strange and weird, what are they?"

Ye Zheng was highly concentrated at this time, carefully arranging the mines, where would he have the leisure to explain so much to them, and said casually at the moment: "These things are called mines, they are very powerful, very bullish, and when the officers and soldiers come, you will know how powerful it is." ”

After saying that, Ye Zheng no longer paid attention to them, and concentrated on choosing a good place to bury all the remaining mines.

Not long after, the ten mines brought by Ye Zheng had all been buried, and at this time, he instructed Niu Sanyan and the others to keep an eye on this section of the mountain road where the mines were buried, and not let their own people break in by mistake, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Niu Sanyan and the others saw what he said seriously, they immediately knew the stakes, and immediately they divided a few people to guard the two ends of the mountain road to do the warning and reminder work.

Half an hour later, Niu Tiezhu, who was about to stop, led some of the brothers of the third hall to Qingzhu Valley, followed by several leaders of the first and second halls, and they also led all the brothers under their arms, all of them were fully armed to Ye Zheng's side, ready to ambush the incoming officers and soldiers here.

At this time, Ye Zheng stepped forward to say hello to Niu Tiezhu and them, and asked about the deployment situation in the cottage, Niu Tiezhu said that some brothers had been left in the cottage to defend, and he said that those brothers in the cottage should not have much problem with some of the people selected by Wutang Chen Fu.

Ye Zheng saw that everything was according to his plan and the arrangement was very smooth, so he nodded with satisfaction and praised them a few words.

At the same time, he also ordered the hall masters and leaders of the branch halls to count the total number of people who had arrived, and the three halls had more than 100 people who stayed in the cottage, and there were nearly 200 people who arrived in Qingzhu Valley at this time, and the more than 100 people in the first and second halls combined had all arrived.

Half an hour later, Li Shiqing, the master of the four halls, also led more than 90 horsemen to Qingzhu Valley one after another, and now the people of the four branches, plus Ye Zheng's own rookie pistol team that he had just trained, had a total of more than 400 people. Ambushing a thousand well-equipped government officers and soldiers with 400 poorly equipped mountain bandits, this kind of thing can only be done by Ye Zheng, and only he dares to do it.

Ye Zheng took out all the more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition for AK47 in the cabin, and distributed them evenly to Niu Tiezhu and Niu Sanyan, as well as the big tiger and the little tiger.

Before this, Ye Zheng also emphasized that this time we must not be good at making claims, and those officers and soldiers rushed to kill the short soldiers, because in close combat, they are definitely not the opponents of those officers and soldiers, so Ye Zheng gave them the tactics is to shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture the king first, and wait for those officers and soldiers to break into Qingzhu Valley, after being ambushed by mines, everyone will shoot arrows and throw bamboo guns to suppress them, in a word, everyone must distance themselves from the officers and soldiers, and they must not fight in close combat.

After everyone heard Ye Zheng's reminder, they all agreed to go down and arrange it.

After Ye Zheng's tactical arrangement, the three cousins led by Niu Tiezhu were ambushed on the left side of Qingzhu Valley, while the remaining more than 100 brothers in the first and second halls were ambushed on the right side of Qingzhu Valley. And the more than 80 brothers led by Li Shiqing, because they all had horses, Ye Zheng arranged for them to hide on a small hillside from the entrance of Qingzhu Valley, the slope was gentle, and there were few obstacles, and when the battle reached a critical moment, let Li Shiqing's group of pseudo-cavalry, the advantage of rushing down the hillside, can cause favorable deterrence and rush to those chaotic officers and soldiers.

At the same time, Ye Zheng also gathered some relatively scarce horse chopping knives in the cottage together, and there were more than 30 of them. Chopping knife, as the name suggests, is when the two armies are fighting, specially used to deal with the enemy's cavalry with a heavy broadsword, this knife is a bit like the Daguan knife, plus the handle is five feet six, although there is no Daguan knife so heavy, but it also weighs more than ten or twenty pounds, if this knife is waved by those strong and proficient in martial arts, then chop up the enemy's horse legs, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, but the only disadvantage of using this knife is that it needs to be used by those big men with excellent backbone, and the use of this knife is very physically demanding.

Ye Zheng gave all these more than 30 horse chopping knives to Li Shiqing's hands, and asked them to select more than 30 big men with strong arms from the four halls, let them take this knife, and then match it with a sturdy horse, and then they will be led by more than 30 strong men with big swords, leading the cavalry to rush down from the top of the hillside, and give the enemy a deadly strangulation.

Li Shiqing received these more than 30 horse chopping knives, and went down to arrange them according to Ye Zheng's orders.

And the brothers of several branch halls who were ambushed on both sides of the Qingzhu Valley, they were also led by their own leaders, cut down the green bamboo, sharpened it, and placed it in bundles one by one, ready to wait for the officers and soldiers to come, which could be used as bamboo spears to shoot at people.

Seeing this, Ye Zheng knew in his heart that he must be lacking bows and arrows, and the leaders in the cottage ordered his brothers to do so, at that moment, he sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "A thief is a bandit, although the scale of the cottage is a little larger, and the weapons are a little more than the ordinary mountain, but it is still not comparable to those well-equipped officers and soldiers." ”

Although, Feifengzhai has always been regarded as the third largest mountain bandit force in the desolation, with thousands of people and complete weapons and equipment, but after the last battle with Black Dragon Village, they consumed and damaged a lot of weapons and armor, and the equipment consumption of mountain bandits, unlike the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, has a steady stream of logistics support and supplementation, if their weapons and equipment are damaged, unless they go to rob, it is difficult to get timely replenishment, this is the biggest gap between soldiers and bandits.

Looking at the brothers in the bamboo forests on the slopes of Qingzhu Valley on both sides, who were preparing to be busy in order to wait for a fierce battle for a while, Ye Zheng couldn't help frowning, thinking that his leadership experience was still insufficient, if he had known that there was a lack of bows and arrows in the cottage, he would have sent someone here a day in advance to cut down and sharpen those green bamboos.

At this time, Niu Sanyan came to Ye Zheng's side and asked, "Village master, you have arranged the other brothers, so what should we do with the dozens of brothers left?"

Ye Zheng glanced at him and said, "You first and the big tiger and the little tiger and a few of them, on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road, find a secluded and advantageous place to hide, and then use that love to cough to death to shoot the warrior masters among the officers and soldiers, at the same time, you also have to see which side needs support, you are ready to go over to shoot at any time." The remaining thirty brothers, they just follow me. ”

Niu Sanyan nodded and said, "Then I'll go and prepare now." ”

"Go ahead!"

Not long after Niu Sanyan left, several four-hall scouts ran back from the mountain road ahead to report the news. Ye Zheng summoned them to ask about the situation of the officers and soldiers, and they said that at this moment, the officers and soldiers of Dahe County were already approaching in the direction of Qifeng Mountain, and they would be able to enter Qingzhu Valley in about an hour at most.

After learning this important news, Ye Zheng's face changed, and he immediately sent people to inform the brothers who were ambushed on both sides of the mountain road, telling them to stop moving immediately, and all of them must be hidden, the ranks of officers and soldiers are coming, and they must be ready to fight at any time.

Everyone in Feifeng Village, after receiving Ye Zheng's notice, cleaned up the traces they had just left, and then they all hid silently on the slopes on both sides of Qingzhu Valley, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
