Li Dan stepped on the edge of the dirt slope, holding a telescope in his hand to watch the movements of Lou Jun below, and he suddenly felt that his current posture was very similar to that of a certain general with a horizontal sword.

Only now he was standing on a nameless hill outside the town of Luoqiao five hundred years ago, sheltered by two small camphor trees and shrubs in front of him.

A squirrel hesitated in a tree not far from him, and when he looked at the silent people, he finally felt the risk and turned around and went back to the dense foliage.

"Lou Zishi is really blessed to have such a son!" Li Dan pushed the eyepiece in, and sighed as a young man.

Zhao Jingzi next to him also followed his example and put down the binoculars. This thing is not easy to make, and a total of nine were made before and after, except for the two of them and Sheng Huaien, and then Wu Mao, Ma Jiu and the three battalion leaders had it in their hands (and one in Chen Sanwen's hands).

"Thanks to the inspection tricks, it would have been really hard to hold him." After speaking, Zhao Jingzi turned around and said, "Is it really only to force him back, can't he stay? Now that the enemy army has been attacked suddenly, can't it be broken by taking advantage of the situation?"

Li Dan walked down and paced two steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "People should not be too greedy.

The brothers had been fighting for more than a day and a night, and some of the older bodies were shaking, but the enemy was a well-fed and well-slept new force, and it was still a matter of winning or losing!

It's not easy to take a hard bite and let him retreat. Leaving the two heavenly kings? Unless we fight out a few hundred casualties.

But I'm still the same sentence, why are we here? Destroying the enemy is not the goal. There is no need to fight casualties, I promised my father and elders to take everyone back to their hometown safely!

So the most important thing is to make him afraid, injured, demoralized, frightened and suspicious, and dare not have the idea of going west again, so that we can calmly transfer the supplies to Shangrao."

After speaking, he jokingly pointed at Zhao Jingzi: "Look at the dark circles under your eyes, you entered Shangrao City like this, which girl threw you a handkerchief?" said that the black wood, Mao Zai, and the soldiers around him all laughed.

"Your Excellency, the enemy has moved. They're in the middle of a team!" Wu Mao, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, and the telescope in his hand never let go. "Looks like they're going to storm the Wasteland!"

"Flag Talk."

Hearing Li Dan's order, one of the soldiers immediately pulled out the two small flags behind him, ran to a slightly higher place behind him and waved them. The officers and soldiers have their own set of flag languages, but Li Dan and the others have not had time to learn them.

He simply wrote down the common instructions, and then made a table in the way of "left three right two", and after seeing it, the other party looked it up according to what was written on the table to know what it meant.

The method is simple and rugged, and it can only express uncomplicated content, but it is enough at the moment.

Now the instructions issued by the pro-soldiers are actually just two words, which is to tell Ma Jiu: Prepare for war!

The other party quickly replied: Roger.

The reason for this is mainly because the northern foot of the barren ridge is full of pine trees blocking the line of sight, and Ma Jiu and the others above can't see the enemy's movements clearly, so they want to observe here, and then use the flag to notify the other side.

Ma Jiu and the others were guarding the mountain, only to hear the shouts from the side, and the killing array was already gearing up.

Sergeant Lou was frightened early in the morning, and now he has to climb such a steep hill, and he is unhappy, and when he leaves the official road and sees that he can't hear it below, he begins to curse and complain.

"What do you say to take Guangxin Mansion to eat, drink and have fun, why hasn't this reached Guangxin yet, and you have to start fighting for your life before you even see the city wall?"

"Alas! Climbing a hill is tired like this, can you still carry a knife when you see the officers and soldiers? Damn, this ghost mountain is also steep!"

"Ahead, how far is it? I ate two cookcakes in my stomach early this morning, and starved to death!"

"But who knew you had to climb a mountain? I knew how many I would have eaten!"

As he spoke, the soldiers in front saw a bamboo fence appear in front of them, winding between the pine trees and stretching at both ends.

"Hey, it's strange, is this mountain private, otherwise who would build a fence on it?" One of the guys said, looking at both ends as he stepped forward.

The fence was chest-high, and it was so strong that it didn't push it.

He wanted to see what was behind him, and as soon as he stretched out his head, he slashed a knife through his neck. The body fell on its back.

Because it was on a slope, it rolled down and brought the people behind him to the ground.

"Hey, you stupid, how can you get down by yourself and bring the master with you? I...... Oh mom! Kill!" The hapless bastard, covered in blood, screamed. Let everyone around be stunned.

Just then, archers appeared behind the fence. All the bows are fully drawn, and being so close is a live target.

The "boom, boom" of the bowstring was accompanied by the "boom, boom" of the feather arrows flying by, and the hillside was filled with ghosts crying and wolf howling.

"Oh no, there's a defender up there!"

When the news came, Lou Shiming was angry: "What about the defenders, attack me, are you all eating for nothing?" For a time, the northern foot of the barren ridge shouted and killed.

But soon Lou Shiming realized his mistake. This northern foot is steep and dark and full of trees, and the defenders take advantage of it, and the attackers will not only lose their center of gravity, but will soon be physically exhausted.

Lou Shiming saw that there were already hundreds of casualties, so he had to grit his teeth and withdraw the people.

A team was sent to the west and further south to attack the flanks of the officers and soldiers to relieve their front team, but soon there were two loud "bangs, bangs", and the shouts of killing began to rise from the west.

The people sent there returned in embarrassment, reporting that there was a general blocking the road in front of them, and they had already set up a fence to block it, and they couldn't get through!

"Hiss——! Lou Shiming gasped, he pricked up his ears to listen, and found that the shouting and killing in the pine forest had become much quieter, and his brain teaser ordered: "Quick, occupy Luoqiao!"

"Young marshal, aren't we going to save them?" Someone asked in alarm.

"Save a fart!" Lou Shiming pointed with a horsewhip: "There are enemies on three sides, do we still have to send people inside?" Can't you see that?" Everyone woke up like a dream, and hurriedly shouted for the team to turn around and hurriedly retreat to Luoqiao.

"The enemy is coming!" Li Dan saw the burly, yellow-bearded man on the opposite banner and his black horse, so he put down the binoculars, and carefully placed it in a wooden box on the back of Mao Zai's brother, and ordered:

"Command the ministries and prepare for battle. When the gunners hear the whistle and start shooting, they are not allowed to open fire without permission!"

Unexpectedly, Lou Shiming was very fine, and he suddenly remembered: This Luoqiao won't have traps, right? Looking to the left and right, he called out a leader:

"You take 500 people first, go and occupy Luo Qiao, and not a single person inside is allowed to stay and drive them all away!"

"Obey!" The leader thought that there was oil and water to be made here, so he hurriedly led people to rush towards Luo Qiao.

Lou Shiming watched them rush into the street, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that maybe I'm too careful?"

"Where, where, Second Young Marshal, this is called a far-sighted ......."

Before he finished his words, he heard a chaotic sound of "ping-pong", and then many people in green clothes rushed out from both sides of the street to block the road.

"Foresight?" Lou Shiming whipped the sycophant on his head. When I looked back again, I saw some scattered rout soldiers escaping from the side path.

The soldiers stepped forward and grabbed one and carried it to him. "What happened? Speak quickly!" Lou Shiming shouted impatiently.

It turned out that everyone was still a little wary at first, but then they became bold when they saw that there was no movement. Who knew that after entering, a street led down, and the lanes on both sides were blocked, and everyone felt bad.

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and a series of fire bolts stretched out from the sealed alleys, hitting everyone with nowhere to hide.

"A row of guns knocked down dozens of people, and after several rounds of fighting, then the doors of each house were opened, and there were hidden group exercises inside, and the brothers were so dizzy and killed so badly!" And he who fled wept aloud.

"And how did you escape?" Someone asked him.

"The little one was frightened, and ran to the end of the street without looking back, and there were few people stopping there, so he went around in a circle and shook off the pursuers before running back."

Chase away this fleeing home

Guy, Lou Shiming stood at the bottom of the slope and looked up at Luoqiao Village with flags waving above.

"Young marshal, why don't we attack again?" Someone on the side tried to suggest.

"No." Lou Shiming shook his head: "Let the team continue to withdraw, after the three hundred people are broken, the others will retreat to the ferry!"

"Well, aren't we going to make this trip in vain?"

"Hmph, look at the top, there are firearms, swords and shields, spears, and nearly a thousand people. How many brothers do we have to lose?

Not even half of the 500 people who went out and came back, and this group of people even dared to provoke the 4,000 people of the third child, so what do we have left with these 1,000 people?"

As he spoke, he looked back at the pine forest, where the shouts had largely fallen silent.

"Who is sure that a single charge will take Luo Qiao? If you can't take it down, you still stay on this hillside and don't retreat, waiting for others to attack back and forth? Stop talking nonsense, get out of here!"

"Hey, inspection, the Second Heavenly King has withdrawn!" Wu Mao shouted.

"That's it? You're going to attack again, and you've spent a night preparing for it!" Zhao Jingzi patted his thigh and called regretfully.

"Hmph, he can't stop running. Hundreds of people were killed on this street at once, and the Second Heavenly King felt pain." Wu Mao jokingly finished speaking, and suggested to Li Dan: "Inspection, you should send someone to help in the street, I estimate that there are still a few people who refuse to resist desperately."

"Let Gu Da and Song Jiuyi go." After Li Dan gave the order, he put away his binoculars and asked Heimu, "Old Hei, do you dare to go down?"

"Did the inspector go and get the heads of the two heavenly kings?" Kuroki nodded and asked.

"No, go and tell him, and I'll come down and meet him at once."

"Huh? How can you personally commit a risk during the inspection?" Kuroki and the others spoke almost in unison.

"Don't worry, his soldiers have no fighting spirit, and Lou Shiming himself knows it. Go and tell him that we will meet on the official road, and that we can each bring two or three retinues. I have a letter from his brother to give him."

After speaking, Li Dan asked Brother Mao to lead the horse. "Mr. Wu is here to preside, can Xianfu go down to see and see this rebellious Second Heavenly King?"

"Whatever you want!" Zhao Jingzi grinned: "If he is not honest and voluntarily comes over and takes a beating, Xiao Yuen Long is not a dishonest person, it is you Li Sanlang who asked him." Li Dan laughed when he heard this.

The sun had already risen, and standing on the ground for a while made people feel stuffy, and the sweat on their bodies seemed to be coming out.

It is obviously inappropriate to meet under such a big sun, and Li Dan has already found a place. The place is about 200 steps east of Luoqiao, and there is a large camphor tree with a crown like an umbrella.

Heimu brought two pro-soldiers to set up the tables and chairs, leaving Mao Tsai to serve, and the rest retreated to the edge of the woods dozens of steps away.

Li Dan dismounted there, took Zhao Jingzi and Dou Whistle (Dou San'er), who was the representative of the official army, and the three of them walked into the shade of the big tree.

Lou Shiming also dismounted dozens of people and walked into the shade with two entourages. He saw Li Dan stunned, and slowly stepped forward to hug his fists and said, "I heard that the young hero of the inspection was so young, it's really a bit surprising!"

"General Redbeard has won an award." Li Dan also clenched his fists and looked at the other party. This Lou Shiming is slightly shorter than his younger brother, but he is not burly and sturdy.

"The general has a reputation for going to the state and passing through the county, and Li Sanlang is too young to be called a hero, but it is suitable for the general."

Lou Shiming didn't expect this answer, he was stunned, laughed, and pointed at Dou San'er:

"The official army is here, you don't call me a thief, but give me the word 'hero, aren't you afraid of losing your position?' Oh, there's a yellow-belted guy here, forgive me for being clumsy." As he spoke, he didn't have the slightest respect, and swaggered out his chair and sat down.

Zhao Jingzi was about to speak, Li Dan smiled and raised his hand to block him, and also sat down by himself.

He just hung up his sword, wore a cyan arrow sleeve shirt, and only had a green cloth on his head, without a piece of armor to cover his body, so he sat face to face with the thief, and said calmly:

"Jun came from afar, the weather is hot, Dan should do the friendship of the landlord." As he spoke, clapping his hands, Zhao Jingzi took out a flat pot from his side and put it on the table.

"This wine was chilled in the well last night, please taste it." After that, he filled the two silver cups that Zhao Jingzi put on the table, took a cup of drink, and then motioned to the other party.

"Isn't it time to burn the wine?" Lou Shiming was a little surprised, looked at the wine glass and said with a little hesitation.

"Ordinary wine is served hot and warm. In the past, the phoenix milk and phoenix spring brewed in cooperation with the three generals are distilled spirits, so they can also be drunk at room temperature. However, this sake is different, it is a low-temperature sake.

I found a cave with Quangong and made it by low-temperature fermentation in the cave, and named it 'Yuqingliu. This wine must be drunk cold, and it tastes a little worse when it is warm."

Li Dan poured himself another glass as he spoke, and raised it to invite him to drink together.

After hesitating for a moment, Lou Shiming reached out and picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Then he looked at the glass incredulously and said, "Sure enough, good wine, good wine!"

Li Dan laughed and poured a cup for Dou San'er: "Xianfu has drunk it, but you haven't yet. Come, taste it also."

Dou San'er was flattered and drank it, and said in surprise: "Patrol high-level talent! There is really wine in this world that can be drunk cold!"

"There is nothing in the world that cannot be done, only the unthinkable. If you think of it, you will do everything possible to achieve it, and once you achieve it?

Honor, money, and status are all at your fingertips. The three generals are well-informed, am I right?" Li Dan asked Lou Shiming with a smile.

Lou Shiming looked up at him for a while, waved his hand and said, "Inspector Li, didn't you invite me to this big tree today just to invite me to a drink?

Look behind you, the officers, soldiers, regiments, or two or three thousand men and horses, why don't you come to kill me, but instead drag me here to drink?"

He ate two or three glasses in a row, his face glowed, and he spoke by calling himself me, not "I".
