"Wait," Zhou Qin stopped him, "Don't be busy yet. You just said there are two reasons, you just said one, and what is the other?"

"The other is 'Leigh, my brother! Although Yintuo was a Buddha before, he is also a bandit leader now, and he wants food, silver, and weapons to raise soldiers.

Why didn't the Lou family fight against us before? Because he found out that San Lang can make wine and can help him make money, the Lou family father and son now have no money and no food in their hands, and they are about to die of sorrow, doesn't this solve the deficit?

So he didn't do it ruthlessly, of course, the result was to ask us to slow down and give him a big slap!"

The listener let out a low laugh, and Yang Yi then brought the conversation back and said, "The Lou family's father and son are still profit-seeking, I don't believe that Yintuo is not like this. Xianfu is right!

What's in the north? Mountains, woods, official roads, running in the dark for a night, you have to be careful not to fall into an ambush.

What's in the South? The grains, carriages and horses, and baggage piled up on both sides of the river, as well as the bridge and the Guangxin City behind the bridge.

This is the benefit, and it makes him drool for Yintuo. In other words, if he got these, he would have to reverse his strength compared to Lou Zishi.

Do you think he will go north instead of coming to the south? Even if Lou Thief ordered him, he wouldn't be so stupid. I think he's going to come here, and he's going to get it!"

"Well said!"

"Makes sense!"

Li Dan saw that everyone basically had no opinion on the topic of where the main battlefield was, so he said, "Since we all agree that the enemy's main force will come to capture Kamisakaqiao, what can we do, or how to do it?"

"If their purpose is really to seize the bridge, grab the baggage, and occupy Guangxin, can they withdraw the rear battalion and even the first squadron in the north?" Zhao Jingzi crossed his arms and thought about it.

"It's too late to fight and then retreat, right? They just have to think so that the other side will find out, otherwise they will be in trouble to cross the river at night."

Song Jiuyi's words gave Zhao Jingzi a reminder, and he immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Qin:

"We didn't move the Dayuan dock and the ship, because the two sides reached an agreement to exchange prisoners for passage. If Da Yuandu is really taken over by Yintuo, then can we burn it to the fire?"

"Hehe, this is for me to find a job!" Zhou Qin was happy:

"But my people are here, and it takes time to rush over, and it weakens the strength of my team.

It's better to call Zhu Erye, aren't his people on the other side helping to count the goods and load the trucks, they get on the carriage and transfer to Dayuandu faster than here!"

"That's a great idea!" Li Dan immediately nodded and said to Zhao Jingzi:

"Let Ma Jiuye pay attention to the situation on the other side, if it is true that the village has changed hands and replaced by Yintuo's people, it means that the Lou family has completely pushed him to the front line and has fully shrunk himself, and it is even possible that he will be lifted and withdrawn in the near future.

Then Zhu Erye's people can do two things: burn the dock and hijack the ship.

Take advantage of the loose and chaotic enemy handover to destroy the dock and bring the ship back to the right bank as much as possible. Then Tan Yingzheng and Tie Linglong boarded the boat and went ashore to ambush near Lujiadun.

In this way, it can not only attack the enemy's flank on the southern route from the north to the south, but also prevent the enemy of Dayuan from going south to support. The role of this wedge is very important!" Li Dan emphatically explained:

"If after arriving at Luodun, there is no sign of the enemy of Dayuan, Zhu Erye's fleet will go to Shangsakadu to stand by.

Tan Yingzheng and they marched to the southeast, to the south of Wutang in the woods to ambush, see the fireworks here in the sky, then decisively cut off the road between Wutang and Litang back to Jiyang Mountain!

Xianfu, you send the most appropriate staff officer to follow the order, and be sure to explain my meaning and Tan Yingzheng clearly!"

"Understood!" Zhao Jingzi immediately replied with his fists clenched, very excited that his suggestion had been approved by Li Dan. "What about Ma Jiuye? What is the command to him?"

"Defend the official road, just these four words. If the enemy crosses the river at night, or manages to cross the river after daybreak, he will try to hold the enemy back between the barren ridge and the Luo Bridge, so that they will not advance an inch until reinforcements arrive!"

"Got it!"

"Map!" Li Dan commanded, Mao

The younger brother immediately turned around and went into the tent to get the picture, and Zhong Siqi on the other side held a candle to illuminate it.

Li Dan looked down for a while, pointed to the location of Zhao Jingzi, Wu Tang and Litang with his finger, and then said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, according to the map of the other side drawn by our detective team before, there is a dense forest near the outer wall of the water village to the east of the bridgehead, and the terrain is higher, which is the place where we are staying now;

To the west is wooded, and although the terrain is not so high, there are three raised ridges sandwiched between two half-mile long ditches, and the ridges are full of trees and shrubs.

This place is said to have been formed when rainwater from Mt. Jiyang drained into the Chuxi River over the years. The terrain is like a bottle, and if he has thousands of men, we just need to hold the two wings, and he will have to go in the middle.

The bridgehead here is less than half a mile wide on the left and right, and as long as we hold it on the left and right, it will be difficult for the enemy to use it, and if we want to capture the bridgehead, we can only throw in a thousand men to attack each time."

"What if the enemy goes around the back and attacks the ditches to the west?" Zhang Cymbal squatted on the ground and raised his head and asked.

"It's hard, because the big army can't get around." Zhao Jingzi replied on his behalf: Look at the book

"Behind the ditch are either rice paddies or swamps or dense reeds. It's useless if people go less, and it's wasteful to go more." After that, he pointed to the area on the map:

"These three ditches are like three walls, which can be fought one at a time, and there are pools in some of the ditches, so a few people can stop the attack.

During the reconnaissance, the Second Squadron once sent people to escort the reconnaissance team to that area. Inspection, I suggest that the second squadron can guard the west wing."

"I'm afraid it's not enough to just be in the second squadron, right?" Zhou Qin rolled up her sleeves: "Inspection, why don't you let me go to the right camp!"

"I'm coming!" Gao Hanzi suddenly spoke up and said, "Brother Lin is familiar with what he does, and he has often fought side by side in the past, so let me cooperate with him to live up to the inspection expectations!"

"Good!" Li Dan thought for a moment and nodded, looked at Gao Hanzi and said:

"Monk, the north wing will be handed over to you two, but it's not enough." He turned his head and ordered Zhao Jingzi:

"The generals on the other side of the bank will be transferred immediately, two gates to the north flank, two gates will be pulled here, and then we will attack in three directions together, I want to see if the silver tuo can withstand it?" Then he said:

"Explain the situation to Lord Sheng, and ask the officers and soldiers to take over the defense of the bridgehead. The front battalion immediately moved closer to us, and the Shisan Mill was hidden in the ...... The reeds in the northwest are on standby, and the iron tweezers are hidden in the woods in the southwest, ready for reinforcements at any time!

Monk, you hurry up and go to the prisoner camp to pick some more people, and make up for the manpower that you and the Lin squadron have lost due to casualties in the previous battles!"

After listening to Li Dan's arrangement, everyone knew that this was going to fight! Yintuo can be said to be the most dangerous enemy and the largest number of troops encountered since the departure, and the danger is unprecedented.

"I have a suggestion." The monk was not accustomed to raising his right hand to ask to speak, and when Li Dan agreed, he said, "Please allow me to go and tell the brothers that I am fighting with Yintuo."

"Huh?" Li Dan felt strange: "Why, what's the difference?"

"We are soldiers of the Lou family, and we have not been convinced by Yintuo's subordinates. Lou Shuai, Lou thief gave Yintuo what he ate and used, and he gave as much as he wanted, and we didn't accept it.

In the past, the two families used to fight with them together, so he ran to the mountains and ignored us. If you talk about hitting Yintuo, I guess there will be a lot of people screaming and jumping out!"

"Ho, what else is going on?" Li Dan laughed: "Then how many people can you call?"

"I guess...... Half of them always have."

Li Dan was taken aback: "So? That's far more than you can make."

Zhao Jingzi reminded beside him: "Why don't you set up a new squadron for them?"

"Eh, this is fine." Li Dan thought about it: "Where is the trial hero?"

"On the other side, didn't you let him help the calf?" Zhao Jingzi replied.

"That's right, just ask the judge to form another squadron, temporarily ask him to take the position of squadron leader, pull the team behind Lin Shuntang as a reserve, and defend against the enemy from making a detour to attack Sandaogou from the side."

Li Dan's words made the monk very happy, and there were two hundred and five more behind him

Ten people, of course that's good news.

When the herald came to tell Sheng Huaien the news, he was also surprised. Prepare a table of meals, and as a result, three tables of guests (triple the enemy) come.

Sheng Qian made an extremely wise and decisive decision under a brain teaser, he sent Dou San'er to Guangxin to see Sun Shoubei, and asked to send hundreds of people as his backup. Then hurriedly crossed the river with the headquarters to take over the bridgehead.

At this time, Master Ba also received an order from the front line, ordering the suspension of transportation, and the enemy's main force could pounce on the bridgehead within half an hour. Master Ba listened to it.

He is not afraid of anything else, it doesn't matter if he asks the transport workers to immediately make way for the officers and soldiers, or immediately turn to the Gexian Temple at the southern foot of the barren mountains to assemble, the problem is that there are still 3,000 prisoners in his hands, what can he do?

At present, the three teams recruited from the pacification team and the road builders are supervising the prisoners, a total of no more than 200 people, and most of them have never been on the battlefield. Thinking about this, he panicked, and hurriedly came to discuss with Song Xiaoniu.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the door, he saw Song Xiaoniu happily sending people out, and there were three hundred people holding knives and spears standing on the side of the road.

Look closely and scare him, aren't these all people in the update team! At this time, I noticed that Song Xiaoniu sent out two guests, one was Shen Jie, and the other was Gao Hanzi of the Third Squadron.

"Hey, monk, judge hero, ...... you are?"

"Master is here! You see, this is a warrant for inspection and Sheng Qianhu." Song Xiaoniu handed over a piece of paper:

"The renewal team has set up a squadron, and the trial hero is the squadron leader, and the three squadrons of the second, third, and fourth squadrons need to be filled, and the monk is here to pick people."

"The person who was picked will be taken away now, and the remaining two hundred or so brothers are all judges." After the high monk finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Song Xiaoniu: "Thank you brother for giving me the horse, I will definitely make meritorious service with this horse, and come back to drink with the old ***!"

Only then did Master Ba notice that someone next to the queue was leading a black horse with a full saddle. "It's not ...... Your horse?" Master Ba asked Song Xiaoniu, and he recognized it as the black horse with the captured flower arm.

Song Xiaoniu smiled bitterly: "I rarely go to the front of the battle to do this calming now, just have a leg strength. The monk could ride a horse but had no mount, so I gave it to him."

As he was talking, the tall man had already moved the saddle and put the stirrup on the horse, took the whip in the hands of his own soldier and pointed to the bridge: "Come with me!" With that, he led dozens of men to quickly go down the slope.

"What a monk, he is still suitable to be a general, it's a pity to hit the bell in the temple!" Song Xiaoniu and Shen Jie both applauded.

"This ...... Is it okay to rush to the team?" Master Ba is still a little worried.

Shen Jie lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't worry, most of the sentry commanders and even commanders are made by my apprentices and veterans drawn from various teams, and the squadron is prepared, and it will only be used until the last moment. And these people have been screened and volunteered, and there is no problem!"

"That's good, less is a little, and the burden on my shoulders will be lighter." Master Ba reluctantly told them that he was here for this, and it seemed that the inspection had already thought of it. "What about the rest?" He wasn't a little reassured.

Song Xiaoniu took out another piece of paper and handed it over: "There are arrangements for the inspection to let these people demolish Chow Tai Fook's camp, and then send the dismantled materials to the mound south of Gexian Temple to build a new prisoner camp."

"Huh? A new captive camp?" Master Ba couldn't understand: "This ......, do the inspectors think that we will have more prisoners to contain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a bull's horn on the side of the bridgehead, and a firework "creaked" into the sky, blooming a large flower, and then gradually extinguished. "Look, isn't this a prisoner?" Song Xiaoniu said with a sneer.

At this time, the sentry commander and the commanders had already explained the military discipline to each of them, and as soon as they reorganized their ranks, they heard the horn and saw the fireworks. Shen Jie beckoned to his deputy: "Lao Wan, it's time to start fighting, can the team go up?"

"Don't worry, it's hard to say that you're going to fight against the inspectors, to Yintuo, hehe! This boy has always been arrogant and does not take us seriously, and the brothers have been holding back and beating him!"

Dou Ziwan rubbed the tip of his nose, and said to Master Ba and Song Xiaoniu with a smile: "That is, there is a fixed number of posts in our team, otherwise I will have a thousand people."

I can also greet you!"

This guy talks a lot, no wonder he is called "Douzi Wan".

Shen Jie didn't have time to grind his teeth with him, and when he heard that he was ready, he took the pole and knife from his hand, turned around and ran to the front of the team, I don't know what to shout, and then the whole team turned around, followed back and forth and ran towards the predetermined assembly area.

Dou Ziwan hurriedly arched his hand towards the two, and loudly beckoned those behind not to fall behind, followed closely in front, and also chased after Shen Jie.

Song Xiaoniu shook his head dissatisfiedly and sighed, "It's too far worse than our Yu Gan, there is no choice but to do this first, and then find time to train later."

Master Ba stroked his beard and rolled his eyes a few times, then turned around and left. Song Xiaoniu called him, "Where is the master?"

"Douziwan gave me a reminder." Master Ba turned around and replied as he walked, "I heard that there were several sentry commanders in front of the flower catching arm who had drawn swords against him, so I went to find them.

Since the beans are not the silver tuo, it is impossible for others to say that it is possible. Pull out a few teams to get ready, and move them up when needed. Anyway, when there is a war, the more people there are, the better!"

"Well, that seems to make sense. Wait, let's go together!" Song Xiaoniu came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.

It was originally agreed that when the fireworks in the south started, Dayuandu would be released to Lou Shifan. Ma Jiuye looked at the third son of the Lou family who was tied up with a rope and brought over, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Because at this time, Lou Shifan was still wearing the dirty clothes he wore a few days ago, his hair was scattered to cover his left eye, and he was sluggish, and he had completely lost his original arrogant appearance.

"Thank you!" Ma Jiu was so smoked by the smell on his body that he took a step back and waved his hand.

"Huh? You, what are you thanking me?" Lou Shifan raised his head inexplicably.

"It's not that I thank you, it's my family Li Sanlang who asked someone to bring a message to you, and I don't know anything else, you can figure it out yourself." After Ma Jiu finished speaking, he turned his head and stopped looking at him, and waved his hand: "Take him to the boat."

Watching the last few boats leave, Ma Jiu asked the sentry chief beside him, "Are they all gone?"

"Yes, it's all gone. Ninth Master, isn't it time for us to start next?" The sentry commander asked.

"Did Second Master Zhu's water ghost follow?"

"They came into the water from 200 paces above, and we can't see them here. I guess it's going to be in the water, right?"

Ma Jiu nodded: "Wait, wait until they can't see us." First of all, it is necessary to determine the situation on the other side, then cover Zhu Erye's men to cross the river, and finally withdraw to Luoqiao Mountain to set up a fortress to defend it. Don't be in a hurry, take your time in order, the night is still long!"

"Ninth Master, only the two hundred or so of us are guarding the village, who can we resist?"

"Take advantage of the terrain and topography to keep it for as long as you can. When they couldn't hold it anymore, they retreated into the woods and circled with them. In short, we can't let them go west easily, we have to wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

Ma Jiu looked at the south side and sighed: "The south side will be very lively tonight, and the pressure on San Lang's shoulders is much heavier than ours!"

Although he heard the staff officers and summons sent to talk about Li Dan's tactical adjustments, Ma Jiu still couldn't help but worry. It was a bold decision to concentrate all efforts on the enemy's main forces on the southern front and to basically empty the northern front.

But even so, Ma Jiu also knew that his own troops were still at a disadvantage, God knows how long those regimental exercises and the surrendered troops that had just defected for a few days could withstand it, and would they turn around in fear under the swarming of opponents? He was worried.

Zhu Erye didn't know when he came to him, he was covered in water, with a dagger pinned to his waist, and a Yanling knife and oil gourd on his back. "Hehe, it's been a long time since I've done this kind of water trading, and I'm really not used to it."

Ma Jiu didn't ask him what the "deal" was, he just looked up and down and said, "You got dressed so early? Do you want to go there yourself?"

"It's tickling hands." Second Master Zhu showed a mouth full of white teeth:

"The last time was to rob the boat of a royal eunuch, and as a result, they went to sea to catch papers, and I hid for four years! Fortunately, the emperor gave amnesty to the world after taking power, otherwise how would I dare to come out now?"

Suddenly, there was a great movement in the south, and fires erupted. There was the sound of shouts of killing, the roar of the general's guns, and the continuous "crackling" of fire.

hemp

Jiu didn't speak, looked at the direction of the Dayuan military village on the other side, stared at the light over there and didn't say a word.

I don't know how long it took, someone whispered in the dark night. Soon after, the sentry commander returned to report to him. "Ninth Master, the water ghost brothers have succeeded."
