One door and three jinshi, two prime ministers across the river, three champions in five miles, two books in one hundred steps, nine politics in ten miles, and nine sons and ten governors.

The above sentences are talking about Jishui County, which ranks first in the country in terms of the number of Jinshi.

Gucun Li's family, one village and one surname. If you count the posthumous gifts, in the past few decades alone, there are eleven Shangshu.

Of course, the current number of Shangshu is still at eight. It was necessary to wait until there was no one available in the imperial court and Chongzhen had to restore Li Banghua that his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather would be crowned or posthumously presented with Shangshu.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

This is very appropriate for Li Banghua. When his grandmother died, there was no thin-skinned coffin, so he could only be wrapped in a straw and buried secretly.

Seeing that his nephew was scared back by the rolling stones, Li Banghua immediately thought about how to break the enemy.

In order to repay the emperor's favor and get rid of thieves for the country, even the old and weak women and children have to be killed!

Li Banghua did not dare to attack, he led his troops to block the road down the mountain, and sent soldiers to explore other paths up the mountain.

The two sides began to confront each other.

One didn't dare to retreat, the other didn't dare to attack, and they just looked at each other like that.

After a confrontation, a villager came back to report: "Uncle, two miles on the right, you can climb up the slope, but there are also anti-thieves guarding the slope." ”

There is no road to a surprise attack, so you can only attack head-on.

"Sons, kill the thief with me!" Li Banghua drew his sword out of the sheath and personally led the crowd to charge.

Pang Chunlai immediately ordered: "Rolling stones!" ”

Stones the size of a head kept rolling down the hillside, and more than a dozen villagers were knocked down one after another.

Unfortunately, the mountain is not steep, and the stones do not roll down quickly.

The two unlucky ones were knocked out of their tibia, and the rest were just pressed down on the top of their feet, and those who were knocked down quickly got up.

"Sisters, kill dogs!"

Xiaohong organized women and children, picked up fist-sized dirt blocks and stones, and threw them at the villagers in the charge.

This thing is even more lethal than a rolling stone, it only hurts when it hits the body, and it will break the blood flow when it hits the head.

Even Li Banghua himself, the dignified former secretary of the military department, didn't know which village woman hit his head, and a big green bag appeared on his forehead.

The mountain pass is narrow, and there are too many villagers to line up.

Seeing that the woman and the child smashed the stones to an effect, the villagers in the rear, who could not be in the battle, picked up stones and clods of earth and threw them down.

Xiang Yong's first charge was actually repelled by the villagers with stones.

Three thousand people threw stones together, and countless small stones flew in the air, and the scene was as spectacular as a rain of bullets.

"Pick up stones, not big ones, just small stones!"

Xiaohong gave an order, and together with Xiaocui, took women and children to pick up stones, and the nearby stones had been picked up, and some people simply took off their shoes and threw them down.

Li Banghua led his troops to retreat down the slope, and the whole person was embarrassed.

Not only did he have a big green bag on his forehead, but he was also hit in the back of the head when he retreated, and there were faint traces of blood in his hair.

A few of them were even knocked unconscious directly by the pebble, and it took a lot of effort to be dragged back by their companions.

"Win, we win!"

The villagers cheered loudly, but the villagers frowned.

Li Banghua held back the fire in his belly, and there was a deep sense of frustration, he had never fought such a battle.

Under normal circumstances, the villagers should be crushed at once, but now it is the village warriors who are being repulsed.

Pang Chunlai couldn't help but laugh and said: "The official below, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, don't you understand this truth?" It's going to come down, and the appearance is abusive. ”

Seeing that there was a scholar among the thieves, Li Banghua took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Under Li Banghua, where is Your Excellency sacred?" ”

This name made Pang Chunlai quite surprised, and he arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Li Mengyan, who was fortunate to see him in Tianjin back then, but it is a pity that things are wrong today." ”

Tianjin has seen?

Li Banghua thought about it carefully, if he had seen it in Tianjin, it was when he was the governor of Tianjin.

He once vigorously rectified the Tianjin New Army, which once made the Tianjin New Army the strongest army in the Northern Zhili region.

But this person in front of him doesn't seem to have any impression.

Pang Chunlai said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't think about it again, you were the governor of Tianjin that year, and I was just a small staff. There's no way you'll remember me! ”

"May I ask which minister's staff you are?" Li Banghua said curiously.

"Hehe, I won't say it, if I do, it will definitely drag down the old master." Pang Chunlai smiled happily.

At this moment, wolf smoke suddenly rose from the south.

Li Banghua was shocked and couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Pang Chunlai had a strange smile, it was a sentry he had sent, and the wolf smoke should have risen when the officers and soldiers appeared.

There were six sentinels in total.

The two of them were on the hill on the other side of Li's house, responsible for detecting the enemy from the east.

The two of them were on the high mountain to the west, and they were responsible for scouting the enemy behind them.

The two of them stayed at the inn in Wuxing Town, even if the wolf smoke could not be released, they could also run into the mountains on foot to report the news.

However, the sentinels all failed, and it was not known what had gone wrong.

Li Banghua looked back at the wolf smoke, his heart was full of worry, his grain and grass were all on the boat.

Because he was afraid of insufficient troops, Li Banghua did not dare to divide his troops into the mountains, leaving only one soldier to guard each boat, and the rest were all Yongxin County boatmen.

Seeing that there was no hope of attacking the mountain, and wolf smoke rose behind him, Li Banghua suddenly ordered: "The whole army retreats to the river!" ”

"Do you want to leave when you're here?"

Pang Chunlai suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Today, half of the people are dead, and I want to leave you Li Mengsecretly behind!" ”

"Withdraw!"

Li Banghua ordered a retreat and personally led a hundred towns to the rear of the palace.

Pang Chunlai climbed out of the makeshift barrier and shouted: "Over fifteen years old, all the young and strong people stepped forward and dragged these bastards!" ”

Nearly six hundred young and strong, armed with farm tools, were all left by Zhao Han. Most of them are men aged 15-18 and 45-50, and only more than 100 are between 18 and 45 years old.

A man covered in injuries suddenly came over the mountain from the rear, panting and said: "Mr. Pang, it rained in the second half of the night last night, and the firewood, grass and cow dung were wet, and the wolf smoke did not burn for a while. Huang Zhuang is still continuing to light the fire, let me run back first to report the news! ”

He looked back and smiled reluctantly: "It's burning, it's burning." ”

"Go back and cure the two of you again," Pang Chunlai said with a smile, "but by mistake, I caught a big fish this time." ”

Pang Chunlai led six hundred young men and slowly walked towards Li Banghua. But they didn't dare to get too close, these people were untrained, and most of them collapsed as soon as they rushed.

The more this happened, the more panicked Li Banghua became, and he simply ran towards the river.

Pang Chunlai was afraid of being killed, so he only dared to lead people to follow him from afar, and he really had no soldiers in his hands.

……

But he said that the two sentries who stayed in the inn, one slept and the other sentry.

But Li Banghua went down the river, and it came too quickly at that time, and there was no wolf smoke warning upstream, which caused the sentinels of the inn to find it too late.

Wake up the sleeping man, the two wanted to go into the mountain to deliver the news, but Li Banghua had already landed on the upstream river beach. Moreover, he quickly sent Xiang Yong to investigate everywhere and block the nearest road into the mountain.

The two sentries panicked, one made a detour into the mountain to inform Pang Chunlai, and the other ran towards the Li family downstream.

The people who made a detour into the mountain, because they didn't know that Pang Chunlai was going down the mountain, had not found a large army until now.

But when I went to Li's house, I saw Huang Shunfu.

"Mayor Huang (deputy), quickly bring people into the mountain, the officers and soldiers are here!" The messenger said.

Huang Shunfu asked, "How many came?" ”

The messenger replied: "I didn't have time to count them, there were probably hundreds, and many ships came." ”

"Second son, you go and inform the villagers, pack up your belongings and prepare to go into the mountain," Huang Shunfu thought for a while, and then said, "Let Liu Laosi and a few of them row a fishing boat to see what the situation is." ”

Several fishing boats soon arrived in Wuxing Town, approaching the large and small boats on the shore, staring at the boatmen on board.

"The thief is coming, run!"

The boatmen panicked and subconsciously wanted to run away.

"Don't mess around!"

Li Banghua left a villager in each boat, all of whom were the soldiers he brought from Jishui.

Those townspeople, enough to deter the boatmen, actually stabilized quickly.

The fishermen rushed back to Li's house to report that there were no officers and soldiers on the boat, and Huang Shunfu immediately ran with Qingzhuang to grab the boat.

Seeing more than 200 rebels, the shipwrights finally couldn't hold on. Ignoring the pressure of Xiang Yong, they all drove boats and fled downstream, and only stopped after escaping the Li family's abduction.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

Huang Shunfu was thinking about how to pursue the enemy, and Li Banghua suddenly came out of the mountains with his troops, so frightened that he hurriedly stopped the villagers from retreating.

Li Banghua chased Huang Shunfu from afar, and Pang Chunlai chased Li Banghua from afar.

Li Banghua ordered a counterattack, and Pang Chunlai immediately retreated, and the distance between the two sides was half a mile.

This battle is very funny, one is afraid of the other, and the hemp rod is afraid of the wolf.

The main reason is that everyone's troops are not enough, Li Banghua can't divide his troops to guard the ship, and he is panicking when the ship is lost at this moment.

As for Pang Chunlai and Huang Shunfu, although there are many villagers under their leadership, they do not have any training at all. Half a mile away from the enemy, you can still be obedient, and if you are approached on flat ground, you will definitely collapse in an instant.

I want to thank Fei Yinghui a lot, last night's inexplicable night attack caused Li Banghua to lose 40 people, which is one-sixth of the strength of the officers and soldiers.

Moreover, most of them were not killed, but drowned by boats running on the reef in the dark.

Otherwise, Li Banghua stayed in Forty Townships to guard the boat, where would he be afraid of the villagers sneaking up on the boat?

After tossing for a long time, Li Banghua finally found his own ship downstream and kept his grain and grass.

"Alas, I still didn't keep it." Pang Chunlai could only sigh.

The villagers could only watch the officers and soldiers leave, and they did not dare to chase them, and they would inevitably lose if they were short-handed.

Li Banghua was also extremely depressed, he belonged to the raid after the rear, and the thief had already prepared. What's even more speechless is, where did Xie Xuelong's main force go?

As I said at the beginning, even if the raid fails, you can flank the front and back.

Now that his teammates have disappeared without a trace, how can he be caught with less than 200 troops? It's almost the same as being flanked by yourself!

Wuxing Town and Lijiagui, as well as the village of Xuanba on the other side, there are thieves everywhere, and even fishing boats are far away on the river.

Li Banghua could only choose to capture all the way, and also divided his troops to guard the grain and grass of the ship, and this battle could not be fought at all.

In desperation, Li Banghua chose to take a boat and slipped away, and did not dare to dock until Yongyang Town.

As soon as he went ashore to inquire, he learned that Xie Xuelong had already withdrawn his army.

Li Banghua could only look up to the sky and sigh, and then took a boat to Sanjiangkou, and finally got a more detailed military situation: Xie Xuelong first went to Anfu County by Lushui, and after defeating tens of thousands of thieves, he took a boat back to rescue Fucheng, because Fucheng had been captured by thieves.

The fall of Ji'an?

Li Banghua was stunned, he couldn't figure out how Fucheng was captured by the anti-thieves.

More nonsense is yet to come.

Li Banghua went to Fucheng by boat, wanting to join Xie Xuelong, passing by Shishan Town and getting news - Governor Xie Xuelong, the whole army was wiped out!
