Dabaoshan, the temporary base camp of mountain bandits.

The mountain bandits are almost assembled, and they are discussing what is the best place to rob after robbing Shaozhou, and they will not be surrounded and intercepted by the officials and troops.

Before the action began, we had already figured out how to divide the spoils and how to divide them.

There were even mountain bandits who suggested that they rob the nearest monastery first, where pilgrims offer incense every day, and the fat is flowing with oil.

As early as the refusal of the mountain bandits, the pure place of Buddhism, how could he bother, wouldn't he have to go to hell if he died in the future.

It seems that if he doesn't rob the monastery, he won't have to go to hell when he dies in the future, just because of the things they did, they would have been able to go to the eighteenth layer of hell hundreds of times!

After hearing this, the big mountain bandit scolded with a smile: "What do you kid know? Isn't there a saying that puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha on the spot? As long as we put down the butcher's knife when the time comes, we will become a Buddha immediately, and who will go to hell!"

"Hahaha......"

After hearing this, the mountain bandits laughed, and they all felt that what their big leader said was too right, when the time comes, put down the butcher's knife, everyone can become a Buddha and go to the Western Heaven Elysium to enjoy happiness, who will go to hell to suffer!

"The big leader is right, but we still have to be careful with the officers and soldiers to prevent the officers and troops from sending troops and horses to reinforce Shaozhou, then our plan to attack Shaozhou will fail!"

The Ershan bandit said worriedly.

Now there are still two groups of men and horses who have not arrived at Dabaoshan to assemble, and when they arrive, how can it be delayed for a day, if the official army knows that they are going to attack Shaozhou, they will definitely send troops from other places to encircle and suppress.

In that case, their previous plan to attack Shaozhou will fail, and the children at home are still waiting for them to grab food and go back to live, and the most important thing is to grab some women to go back to be wives for the brothers who came out with them.

If the officials and soldiers came, wouldn't all their previous plans be in vain, and they would even have to explain it here.

"Second brother, don't worry, we have been dealing with the official army for so many years, even if the Shaozhou side knows that we are coming, the first notification is the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion."

"Shaozhou is under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, and if such a big thing happens, they first asked the Guangzhou Governor's Office for help, and Guangzhou is three hundred miles away from Shaozhou."

"If the official army wants to reach Shaozhou, there are only two roads to go, one is the official road, the other is the mountain road, and the official road needs to take a long detour to reach Shaozhou, the eldest brother has set up an ambush on the official road, and it is not a problem to drag the official army for a few days!"

"When the officers and soldiers arrive in Shaozhou, Shaozhou has already been ransacked by us, and several surrounding states and counties will be looted by us, and the officers and soldiers are exhausted, we can take the opportunity to kill them in turn without leaving a piece of armor!"

The Four Mountain bandits said with a smile, they were not afraid of the reinforcements of the official army at all, and they would have run away long ago when the reinforcements of the official army arrived.

They can also take the officers and soldiers around in circles, and when the officers and soldiers are out of strength, it is when they fight back.

As for whether the reinforcements of the official army will take the mountain road, they are not worried at all, and even their group of mountain bandits who stay in the mountains all year round will inevitably suffer losses when they take the mountain road.

A group of people who have not walked the mountain road, the loss of the mountain road will be greater than them, and after they get out of the mountain road, how much combat power will be left?

No matter which road the officers and soldiers take, it is not necessarily a bad thing for their group of mountain bandits!

"Now the eighth and tenth are left and haven't arrived, and I don't know what they're rubbing?"

The mountain bandit frowned slightly, and complained with some dissatisfaction.

"Maybe something at home is delaying, let's wait!"

The Three Mountain Bandits have always had a good relationship with the Ten Mountain Bandits, and the two families are in-laws, so they naturally want to help the Ten Mountain Bandits speak.

"Then wait for them for another day, after the sun goes down, if they haven't come yet, we won't wait for them, go straight to Shaozhou, everyone let go of their hands and feet to grab as much as they want!"

The mountain bandits, don't forget to tell everyone, when the time comes, pass through the Nanhua Temple, don't disturb the people in the temple, otherwise, don't blame him for being polite!

The mountain bandits promised again and again, and promised that they would restrain their own people well and not let them mess around, and their target was Shaozhou.

Besides, they should unite now, instead of engaging in infighting, and they can't fight their own families before they even make a move!

In the afternoon, the other two mountain bandits also rushed to Dabaoshan to join them, and everyone decided to rest in Dabaoshan for the night before setting off for Shaozhou.

Just as they were celebrating everyone's expiration, a mountain bandit hurried in and brought them new news.

"Leaders, there are tens of thousands of officers and troops in Guangzhou, and they are going to Shaozhou by official road."

"Oh, the officers and soldiers still know that we are going to rob Shaozhou, and now they are sending reinforcements and want to rush to Shaozhou, how can we do what they want."

"We are only two days away from Shaozhou here, and the official army will definitely arrive later than us if we block it on the road, and we will already have all the details of Shaozhou at that time!"

"The officers and soldiers don't have to worry at all, we will continue to drink and leave for Shaozhou early tomorrow morning."

The mountain bandits didn't think so, everything was in his plan, he wasn't worried at all, the officers and soldiers would suddenly run in front of them, and the officers and soldiers would choose to take the official road, and they would not take the mountain road again.

When the mountain bandits heard this, their hearts relaxed a lot, as long as the officers and soldiers couldn't reach Shaozhou before them, they didn't want to do anything to Shaozhou!

"If we block the brothers of the official army, we can't stop it for too long, and the official army only arrives half a day later than us, which is still not good for us!"

Some mountain bandits raised different opinions.

"Unless the officers and soldiers march all the way, the time can be shortened, so that the officers and soldiers will be very tired, and we only need to divide a part of the people to deal with the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers."

"Even if the reinforcements from the official army arrive, they can only watch us loot Shaozhou, isn't it better!"

The mountain bandits laughed, a tired army, in front of them is no different from the one who sent the equipment, if anything, it is that they need to do it themselves.

They didn't know that a Tang army of tens of thousands of people was traveling through the mountain and forest trails and rushing to Shaozhou.

……

"How far are we from Shaozhou?"

Li Duozuo stood on the top of a hill and asked the guide beside him.

The guide took out the map he was carrying, opened it, looked at it, and said, "At the current speed, we can arrive in Shaozhou as soon as tonight." ”

"Yes! That's great! ”

Li Duozuo was overjoyed when he heard this, he had long been fed up with walking the mountain road, if it weren't for the leggings to prevent calf soreness, now he was afraid that he would have been lying on the ground for a long time and didn't want to move, this mountain road is really difficult to walk, not for ordinary people to walk.

"Pass the order, the whole army will speed up, be sure to rush to Shaozhou tonight, and delay the fighter plane!"

Li Duozuo ordered.

"General, the marching speed of such intensity will make the soldiers too tired, it is better to move forward steadily!"

The guide is worried that if he marches forcibly, he will be easily injured when he runs on this mountain road, and even if he rushes to Shaozhou, people will be tired and paralyzed!

Anyway, now that there is enough time, there is no need to force the march too much, so that the soldiers can save enough physical strength!

"The soldiers are fast, the sooner we arrive in Shaozhou, the more security Shaozhou will have!"

Li Duozuo really didn't want to stay in the mountains any longer, he just wanted to rush to Shaozhou as soon as possible, take a comfortable hot bath, and sleep beautifully, which is better than feeding mosquitoes here.

"No!"

The herald took the order and passed on Li Duozuo's order, and the army accelerated its march, and many soldiers were injured on the march because the mountain road was not easy to walk.

At this time, the leggings finally came in handy and played a huge role, and the soldiers who could not walk were carried away on improvised stretchers made of leggings.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Li Duozuo and others finally walked out of the mountains and forests and came to the city of Shaozhou.

They were two hours ahead of the scheduled march.

"Soldiers, work hard, there is Shaozhou City in front, everyone bear with it, just wait until you enter the city!"

Li Duozuo pointed to Shaozhou City, which was not far away, and encouraged the soldiers that as long as everyone entered the city, they would have a hot bath to take a bath and a hot meal to eat.

The soldiers were overjoyed, gritted their teeth and continued to walk towards Shaozhou City.

The appearance of Li Duozuo's department alarmed the defenders in the city, and because it was too dark, it was impossible to see whether it was friend or foe.

The defenders panicked!

I was afraid that there were mountain bandits outside the city, and I sneaked into Shaozhou City at night, and with the hundreds of soldiers and horses in Shaozhou City, I couldn't stop the murderous mountain bandits from attacking at all.

"Who's coming? Get your name now! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!"

Sima of Shaozhou City shouted out of the city, holding a torch and probing forward, trying to see whether it was reinforcements or mountain bandits.

Hearing someone shouting at the head of the city, Li Duozuo asked the guide to make it clear, so as not to injure his own people by mistake.

"We are ordered to come to reinforce your vanguard army, brothers in the city, don't panic, we are our own people."

The guide took a few steps forward, raised his hand and waved, indicating that it was really not a mountain bandit, they were really here to reinforce Shaozhou.

After repeatedly confirming that it was really reinforcements, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes!

In the past few days, they have been worried, worried that the reinforcements will not be able to catch up with Shaozhou, what will they do?

What if the mountain bandits launched an attack on Shaozhou City in advance? Even a few hundred of them are afraid that they will not be able to hold on for even a day, and when the time comes, will the people in the city be persecuted by the mountain bandits.

Now that their own reinforcements have arrived, all problems will be solved, and they are no longer afraid of any mountain bandits.

"Quick! Open the gates of the city, the reinforcements are coming, welcome the brothers into the city!"

Sima Daxi of Shaozhou hurriedly led people to open the city gate, and took more than a dozen people out of the city to welcome reinforcements.

"In Xia Shaozhou, Sima Chen Shaohui, dare to ask the general's name!"

Shaozhou Sima was introduced to Li Duozuo and saluted with his hands crossed.

"I'm Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Guard!"

Li Duozuo reported his home.

"Don't say so much, go and prepare a hot meal, the general and the brothers haven't eaten a little food for a day!"

The guide urged Chen Shaohui, if there is anything to go back to the city, this is not the place to talk.

"Quick, go and prepare a meal for the generals and soldiers!"

Chen Shaohui turned around and crossed his hands and said to Li Duozuo: "General, please follow me into the city!"

Li Duozuo nodded, and followed Chen Shaohui into Shaozhou City with soldiers and horses.

When the people in the city learned that the reinforcements had arrived, they came out of their homes one after another, standing on both sides of the street, holding food and water in their hands, to welcome the soldiers who came from afar to rescue Shaozhou.
