This mountain, the terrain is dangerous, it was to see that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the big boss and his brothers built the gate of this village here, and set up camp. Just the gate of this stockade, there is no heavy weapon or anything, and I really don't want to come in.

"Who's coming?"

"Looking for your boss!" The guard at the gate opened the gate as soon as he saw that it was the steward who often came from the city.

"Big boss, looking for you!" As he spoke, he led the man to the great master.

"It turned out to be a steward, what happened today!"

"I'm here to inform you today that in two days, the team of the Dingwang Mansion will pass through you."

"They'll come when they come."

"They've got a lot of money with them this time!"

"Can you see clearly?" The big boss asked.

"It's a real thing! Dozens of large boxes full! So the lord asked me to ask the opinion of the big boss! ”

"This Li Mingyuan is not easy to deal with, a few days ago, he also suppressed dozens of people over there, and I heard that he killed countless enemies on the battlefield!" The big bosses didn't want to provoke them.

"I think that Li Mingyuan is brave and unscrupulous, he only brought 30 soldiers when he came out this time, last time they were lucky, and those people in the city helped, he was able to barely suppress it, this time it was not so lucky." The steward said encroachmently.

"Thirty soldiers, let me consult with the brethren." After he said this, the big boss felt as if he could give it a try.

"Then wait for your good news!"

After the steward left, the big boss gathered his men together.

"Big boss, I think I can grab it! With so much money, as long as we grab this order, we don't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives! The second master said.

"Yes, big boss, this Li Mingyuan is powerful on the battlefield, our mountainous land, we have advantages, we are not afraid of them, not to mention that they are only 30 people!" Another subordinate said.

"Don't underestimate these 30 of them, all of them can fight, especially that Li Mingyuan!" The big boss said.

"Big boss, otherwise, if I take 150 people down the mountain, even if they can fight two at one, can he fight five at one? We'll withdraw when we grab the money! The second master said.

"But ......" the big boss is still worried that there will be an accident.

"Don't do it, there won't be this shop in this village after that, such a lot of money!" The second master said with his eyes lit up.

"Okay then, you guys go, be careful, withdraw as soon as you grab the money!"

"Okay!"

"Do you see clearly? Did you go to a thief's den in the mountains? Chen Chong asked

"I see clearly, the steward is going to the den of thieves." A soldier said.

After releasing the bait, Li Mingyuan asked Chen Chong to send people to pay attention to the movements of these people, and sure enough, the steward went straight to the top of those thieves after leaving the city.

"These officials really colluded with those thieves!" Li Mingyuan said very angrily.

"Don't be angry, the current officials are like this." Lin Qingran didn't know if Li Mingyuan was too simple or too stupid.

"It's all like that! Chen Chong, you find an opportunity to call them over and discuss the next matter. ”

Cleaning up the eyeliner around him, Chen Chong gathered everyone together.

"Little Marquis, I sent someone to check, this mountain terrain is indeed steep, and the gate of the cottage is strong, there are archers on both sides to guard, there are no heavy siege weapons, I am afraid it is too difficult to attack." Chen Chong said.

"That's just to wait for them to come out on their own." Li Mingyuan was also a little worried.

"Little Hou Ye, we have a large number of troops, suitable for open places, if we can fight in open places, we can solve the battle faster." Li Yao said.

"You're right, but what can be done to lure them out into the open." Li Mingyuan asked.

"Otherwise, we'll split the ranks!" Lin Qingran suddenly thought.

"No, the terrain here is complicated, and the scattered teams are not conducive to combat." Li Mingyuan disagreed.

"No, I mean you can disperse the boxes to the whole team, it used to be weapons at the bottom and belongings at the top, but now we can have belongings at the bottom and weapons at the top, and then disperse them to the whole team, so that you can easily get the weapons." Lin Qingran explained.

"That's just a scatter box, not a scatter team." Liu Wei asked.

"If your boxes are scattered, won't the ranks of the guards also be scattered? Otherwise, it will definitely arouse suspicion. ”

"Yes, we originally put all the boxes together and then guarded them together, they will definitely attack the front half of the team with all their might, and they will find a narrow intersection to attack, and we are scattered, they will inevitably disperse, and they will definitely find an open place to ambush." Li Yao said again, "I can't see it, you are really smart, no wonder the little marquis takes you by his side." ”

"I see! Even if they hadn't ambushed them in an open area, we'd be more mobile, so be it! Li Mingyuan said. Li Yao, this problem is solved, you can think of a way to attack the mountain! ”

"Yes, little marquis!"

In order not to startle the snakes, Li Mingyuan decided not to arrest these officials in the city who colluded with the bandits, and the next day, according to the original plan, the group left the city and continued to set off.

"Second master, the team is here." The spy who inquired about the news came back and reported.

"Do you see clearly? Is it their team? The second master asked.

"Yes, it's just that they scattered the boxes and the guards all together." The spy continued.

"This Li Mingyuan is really cowardly, for fear that he will be caught by us, and he will scatter his belongings." The second master said with a sneer.

"Then the intersection in front of us won't work, we have to change the method, is there an open place to ambush?"

"There's a field further on, with woods on either side, perfect for an ambush!" One of them said.

"Okay, we'll be waiting for them there!"

"The second master, there are so many of them, in case of us, do we want to go back and discuss with the big boss?" The other said with some concern.

"Counsel again, counsel again, and they will go! Those are all family members, what is there to be afraid of! "The second boss only has those belongings in his eyes at this time.

In order not to be exposed, Li Mingyuan made it unprecedented to let Shang Jing and Lin Qingran be in the carriage together.

"Won't they take the bait?" Lin Qingran asked Shangjing.

"I think so. I think it's a good plan! How could those robbers be so clever to see the flaws. Shang Jing knew that Lin Qingran had been worried that the plan would fail.

Suddenly, an arrow appeared in the sky, and a group of bandits rushed out of nowhere, led by the second leader, shouting "Brothers, go up!" The group rushed towards the group together.

Lin Qingran was about to poke his head out to see what the situation was, but Li Mingyuan rode over and said, "Don't come out!" Then I heard a fight outside, and after a while, there was no sound outside.

"It's time to come out."

When Lin Qingran heard this, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, only to see that the group of bandits had either been annihilated or captured.

A few thieves who came out of the woods saw that the situation was not right, and ran away.

"Little Hou Ye, how many have you run, do you want to chase them?" Chen Chong said.

"No, let them go back and report the news!" Li Mingyuan decided to change the plan at the moment.

The second boss was escorted over, "This should be their head." Chen Chong said.

"Say! How many people are there on your hill? Li Mingyuan asked.

At this time, the second master was held to the head with a knife, "Answer honestly!" Chen Chong said fiercely.

"Also, there are more than 50 people." The second master said tremblingly.

"Are you the boss?" Li Mingyuan felt that he was quite weak, not like the Lord of a mountain.

"I, I'm the second boss, and the big boss is still on the mountain."

"Little Hou Ye, this mountain is still a bit dangerous, do you want to bring Liu Wei with you?" Chen Chong said.

"Okay, Wang Li, you and Chen Chong are here to deal with the aftermath, Li Hei, Li Yao, and Liu Wei for the three of you to go up the mountain with me."

"Yes!" The crowd said.

After ordering some soldiers and escorting the second master, they set off for the thieves' den on the mountain.

"Help take care of Lin Qingran." When Li Mingyuan left, he whispered to Chen Chong.

In fact, now is a better opportunity to escape, but Lin Qingran really didn't want to escape, she ran around curiously to see these bandits. "Chen Chong, why do you think they want to be bandits?"

"For the money!"

"It's not worth it for a few dollars, and it's not worth it." In fact, Lin Qingran knew in his heart that some of them were also poor and couldn't survive before they became thieves.

Li Mingyuan and his party came to the foot of the bandits' mountain.

"Little Marquis, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to ride a horse on this mountain, should we still walk up the mountain?" Li Yao said.

Li Mingyuan glanced at the mountain, and it was indeed inconvenient to ride a horse, so he agreed, and the group of them dismounted, leaving a few people to take care of the horses, and the rest walked up the mountain together.

When the group came to the gate of the cottage, Li Hei stood in front of the gate with the second master and shouted: "You thieves hurry up and open the gate!" ”。

"The big boss, the second boss, should we open the door?" The person next to him asked in horror.

"What a door! Don't open it! The big boss said.

"If you don't open the door again, I'll kill you two masters!" Li Hei continued to speak loudly.

"Big boss!" The person next to him said with a little pleading.

"Leave it alone, let go of the arrows!" As soon as the big boss gave the order, he saw the archers on both sides shoot at Li Hei and the second boss together.

This Li Hei saw that the situation was not right, let go of the second master, dodged a few times, and immediately retreated. But the second boss was not so lucky, he was shot a few arrows by his own people, and received a boxed lunch on the spot.

Li Yao originally wanted to take Er as a hostage, force them to open the door, and then rush in, but now the hostages have also been killed by their own people.

Li Mingyuan saw that this trick didn't work, so he wanted to use other tricks, "Li Yao, Liu will drag them down for you, according to what I just said, attack the heart first, let them open the door, and Li Hei and I will lead the team to outflank them from both sides!" "When Li Mingyuan let those thieves go, he wanted these people to inform the people inside that they were overwhelmed this time.

"Okay, little marquis!" The two said

"I tell you! We are not 30 soldiers under the mountain this time, but 300 soldiers, you better open the door and surrender! Otherwise, none will be left! Liu Wei said loudly.

"But as long as you open the door and surrender, we will definitely spare your lives!" Li Yao continued.

"Big boss, they are indeed so many people, all of them are elite soldiers, we are not opponents at all!" Said a man who had escaped and returned.

"Don't grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige." The big boss is really experienced, and he is not so easily frightened.

"300 soldiers, so many!"

"There are only a few dozen of us left, what should we do, or surrender."

Although the big boss is experienced and not intimidated, the people under him have begun to be afraid.

"Everyone can't survive to become bandits, we promise that as long as we open the door and surrender, we will definitely give silver two and let everyone go back!" Li Yao continued to attack his heart.

"Give me back the money!"

"I really want to go home and see my mother's ......"

"Why don't we vote."

"Can you promise you'll let us go back?" Someone in the village replied.

"I promise to let you go back! Dingwangfu will not lose its trust to everyone! Liu Wei said.

"Let's vote for ......"

"Vote, vote."

At this time, many people in the stockade were already about to open the door, and suddenly the big boss took out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the man who was about to open the door, and the man fell in a pool of blood. "Whoever dares to open the door will die first!" He said fiercely.

Everyone was shocked and did not dare to go to the door again.

Seeing that the door had not yet opened, Li Yao saw the second boss who fell to the ground, and continued: "You big boss even killed your second boss, he will not care if you live or die in order to live, so don't waste your lives in vain!" ”

"You don't talk nonsense! Shoot them for me" But at this time the archers on both sides did not carry out the order, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately ran to the position of the archers himself, ready to shoot them.

At this time, the people in the stockade also began to be restless.

"Yes, he even killed the second master, and he will definitely not care about us!"

"Let's get out!"

Then I saw a few people open the gate, at this time the soldiers on both sides of the gate rushed in together, soon, there was a mess inside, some people surrendered with their heads in their hands, some people fought back desperately, the big boss saw that the situation was not good, wanted to slip away from behind, was caught by Li Hei, and was defeated after a few rounds of fighting, and soon this group of bandits was all taken down.
