Long Tao rushed for a day and a night, and in the early morning, he came to the outside of Liangdu.

Xu Yuanlang's flag was no longer on the city gate, and the guards at the gate were gone, and a group of city residents were pouring out, each carrying their bags, and some were pushing their luggage in a small cart, looking like they were going to go away.

Xie Jiao led a dozen or so Peng Lianghui disciples to dissuade the pedestrians at the city gate, trying to intercept them back, but it was difficult to stop the flow of people pouring out.

Long Tao came to the city gate, Xie Jiao was sweating profusely and greeted him, panting and saying, "Master Yan is finally back!" As soon as Xu Yuanlang's guards withdrew, the people in the city were afraid that Brother Cave would come to loot, and they were ready to flee for their lives, but we couldn't stop it at all! ”

"No need to stop." Long Tao waved his hand and said, "You all go back, what about the other leaders?" ”

Xie Jiao replied: "The three masters negotiated with several big merchants in the city, and wanted to let them stay as much as possible. ”

"Go and inform them, come to the City Lord's Mansion to see me." Long Tao commanded and walked towards the city.

Ren Meimei hurriedly walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion with Chen Jiafeng and the others, and sat down on a row of tables and chairs.

This coquettish beauty puffed out her cheeks and said with a resentful face: "Why don't we plant the flag of the Divine Sword Army on the city tower, I see if those cowards will leave!" This girl spent a long time talking, those wealthy gentry couldn't listen to it at all, and said that our Peng Lianghui is not the opponent of Brother Cave at all, she is really angry! ”

Long Tao said with a smile: "Mei Mei don't be impatient, these people can leave if they want to go, as long as we defeat Brother Cave and prove ourselves, they will come back sooner or later, who wants to leave their family business for many years and leave their hometown and go away?" ”

Ren Meimei said angrily: "We obviously have such a loud signboard of the Divine Sword Army, but we can't tell them, it's really depressing!" ”

Long Tao shook his head and said, "If we let Brother Cave know that this city is owned by the Divine Sword Army, it is very likely that he will not come to loot again, and we will not be able to implement the plan and obtain Xiapi at the lowest cost." ”

At this time, Luo Qifei walked in in and bowed down and reported: "King, Brother Cave and Duren's men and horses have been dispatched, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Liangdu at noon. ”

Ren Meimei exclaimed: "They are so arrogant that they dare to rob in broad daylight? ”

Luo Qifei said: "Brother Cave heard that our Peng Liang Society wanted to occupy this city, and knew that the people in the city were panicking and were busy fleeing for their lives, so he wanted to take advantage of our unstable foothold and strike first. Besides, if it weren't for the king, there would indeed be no one in this area who could resist these horse thieves, and they were so arrogant, it was also a matter of habit. ”

Long Tao got up and said with a smile: "You go and gather people quickly, let's give Brother Cave an appetizer first, and kill his prestige!" ”

There is a low hill thirty miles east of Liangdu, and the road to Liangdu is under the mountain, if the men and horses of the cave brother attack Liangdu from the direction of Pengcheng, this place is the only way, and the other side of the road is a dense forest.

This was the only place Long Tao could find in a hurry to set up an ambush.

Peng Lianghui dispatched 3,000 people, ambushed in the dense forest and behind the hills, each with their own weapons, and finally put together a thousand bows and arrows, as for the armor, there were only a few pairs, at a glance, it was completely a rabble of gangs in the rivers and lakes, without the appearance of a regular army.

Although Luo Qifei brought accurate information, the total number of men and horses of Brother Cave and Duren was less than 1,000, but because they were all people who could recruit and fight, and they were all cavalry, if they were the front, Peng Lianghui's people were obviously not opponents.

Just after noon, Long Tao's spiritual sense unleashed discovered the whereabouts of the horse thief.

"The information of Qi Fei is really accurate, and Brother Cave's team is already five miles away." Long Tao smiled at Luo Qifei, "Qifei can go and inform Meimei and get ready to do it." ”

Luo Qifei got up in response, climbed over the mountain, and quickly rushed towards the dense forest below.

The two thousand good men led by Ren Meimei were hiding in the dense forest, including the 1,000 archers.

After Luo Qi flew away, Long Tao looked at Chen Jiafeng, Xie Jiao and others beside him, these people were participating in this kind of ambush battle of thousands of people for the first time, and they were inevitably a little nervous.

"Brother Cave is very arrogant, and he didn't send a sentry to explore the way, so he will definitely be ambushed this time." Long Tao showed a gentle smile, "Don't be nervous, everyone, remember to save your life when dealing with Brother Cave later, we are just frustrating his prestige this time, not to wipe out this gang of horse thieves." ”

When the sound came, more than a dozen people walked out of the dense forest, dragged the two big trees that had been cut down to the avenue, blocked the way to Liangdu, and then quickly dived back into the dense forest and left.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the knights of the brigade appeared from the east side of the road and quickly rushed towards the dense forest area.

The first few knights found the big tree blocking the way, stopped their horses, and made gestures, and the rear team also stopped in turn, but the whole horse team had completely entered the dense forest area where Ren Meimei and them were ambushing.

There were only two loud noises, and two big trees fell to the ground behind the horse team, cutting off the horse thieves' retreat, followed by the sound of bowstrings vibrating, and thousands of bows and arrows were fired in unison, and dense arrows were shot in the dense forest, flying towards the horse thieves.

Brother Cave yelled on his horse, and he didn't know what Khitan language he spoke, but he saw that all the Khitan warriors turned their horses' heads one after another, and quickly put on a defensive posture facing the dense forest, blocking the incoming arrows with their weapons.

After all, the Pengliang congregation was not a soldier, and their archery skills were limited, and only about 20 Khitan horse thieves were killed in this round.

On the contrary, the Llama Gang on either side of the capital, because they could not understand the Khitan dialect and lacked experience in facing the enemy, were suddenly attacked, and immediately became a mess, killing and wounding more than 100 people.

The second round of arrows was launched, but the cave brother had already yelled and led his team to rush up the hill, preparing to get out of the range of the bow and arrows first, regroup and then charge the enemy.

This thief has been in battle for a long time, and it can be seen from the archery skills of the Pengliang congregation that they are not a strong enemy, so they are not afraid, and they want to return the color.

After the second round of arrows, dozens of thieves fell off their horses, and most of them were still members of the Llama Gang who were slow to react.

By this time, the horse thieves were very close to the top of the hill.

Long Tao knew that it was time, so he took out the scarface mask left by Lu Miaozi and put it on, carried a spear, and rushed up the mountain first.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he could only use Lu Miaozi's mask, this scarred face belonged to Xu Ziling in the original plot, and the original owner was a Sichuan swordsman named Gong Chenchun.

Chen Jiafeng, Xie Jiao and others greeted him, led his men to climb up the mountain, and various hidden weapons such as sleeve arrows and darts came out together, shooting fiercely at the horse thieves who climbed the mountain, and immediately caused a group of people to turn over on their backs.

The horse thieves obviously didn't expect that there were still ambushes behind the mountain, and they panicked, and the cave brother shouted loudly and commanded the team to gather.

The shouts in the dense forest under the mountain shook the sky, Ren Meimei and Luo Qifei rushed out with people, surrounded the mountain, and the archers bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot another round.

Long Tao Zhuoli laughed at the top of the mountain and shouted: "Brother Cave, Du Ren, you two dare to come to fight Liangdu's idea?" Don't get off your horse and die! ”

Brother Cave and Du Ren have gathered together, and there is an old Han man in his fifties next to him, holding a mace, with a cold face and bright eyes.

According to the original plot, Long Tao knew that this person was a traitor who helped Brother Cave do evil, named Mi Fang, nicknamed "Wolf King".

Brother Gu asked in dry and stiff Chinese, "Who are you?" ”

Long Tao laughed and said: "Lao Tzu is the new leader of Peng Liang Society, you are not worthy to ask Lao Tzu's name!" ”

Brother Cave shouted angrily: "Nameless rat, I will kill you under the horse!" ”

Long Tao saw his eyes sparkling and looked at this side, and knew that this thief had decided to break through to the top of the mountain, because there were fewer people here than at the bottom of the mountain, and most of them used swords as weapons, and there were few long weapons to deal with cavalry, and they had no armor and shields, so they obviously could not withstand the impact of cavalry.

"Don't fight the horse thieves, attack with hidden weapons, they have to break through and go down the mountain and let them go."

After Long Tao whispered an order to Chen Jiafeng and the others, he raised his spear and rushed down the mountain.

"Rush me!" Brother Cave let out a loud shout, drew his twin axes and swung them at the top of the mountain.

The horse thieves shouted and shouted, and together they rode their horses and rushed up the mountain.

Long Tao rose to his feet, leaped a distance of five feet, and when he fell, he had already met the horse thief who was rushing ahead.

After kicking the horse thief away, Long Tao was on the horse's back, continued to jump, and swooped down from mid-air, his spear shook, and his fierce energy immediately enveloped Brother Cave, Du Ren, and Mi Fang.

The three of them changed color at the same time, and they knew that this unattractive scar-faced man was really a top master, and hurriedly raised their weapons to meet them.

With a sonorous sound, Long Tao's spear swept away the big axe, Du Ren's long knife and Mi Fang's mace respectively, and the three of them vomited blood at the same time, and continued to rush to the top of the mountain with the horses.

Long Tao took advantage of the force to jump, jumped over their heads, turned around in midair, and the spear stabbed out quickly, inserted into Mi Fang's vest, and the tip of the spear came out through his chest.

Mi Fang let out a scream that shook the sky, fell from his horse and died, Long Tao fell back to the ground, no longer paying attention to Brother Cave and Du Ren, the spear was like a swimming dragon, and he killed anyone in the group of horse thieves.

Brother Cave and Du Ren, he can let it go, but this rice must be killed first, otherwise he will help the horse thief show the way, if Long Tao wants to leave them all, he is afraid that it will be a little difficult.

Ren Meimei and Luo Qifei under the mountain also brought people to cover up, after seeing Long Tao's amazing martial arts, Brother Cave and Du Ren dared to fight, rushed over the top of the mountain, and led the team to flee in the wilderness.

According to Long Tao's order, the Pengliang congregation did not continue to chase and kill, but were busy rounding up the ownerless war horses and confiscating weapons and equipment such as bows, arrows, spears, etc.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was finally cleared, and Ren Meimei reported with a happy face: "We killed more than 300 enemies, and we only wounded a dozen brothers, captured more than 300 war horses, and many bows and arrows and other weapons!" ”

Luo Qifei was also quite excited, the horse thieves of the cave brother harmed them Peng Liang will almost perish, and now he finally has a bad breath.

Long Tao looked at the east and said with a smile: "Brother Cave should not dare to come again for the time being before we find out our bottom line, let this setback occur, his prestige will definitely plummet, and there will be more people in the Llama Gang who oppose his alliance with Brother Cave, and it is time to go down to see Xiao Lu Bu Jiaohong enter!" ”
