The fifth sun of the Holy Monday has not yet fully risen, the sky has just risen and the fish belly is white, the sentry of the corner tower of Baijiabao sounded the "siren" made of bamboo tubes, and the empty sound echoed in the entire Baijiabao The blank kites and Cheng Xu almost turned over and jumped up from the bed at the same time, and ran up the corner tower at the fastest speed to look at the Huanglong Mountain in the north, and they immediately found that a large group of thieves on the hillside were descending the mountain.

They did not come down from one mountain road, but scattered from several mountain roads, as if the sewage gushing down the mountain stream when there was a flood on the top of the mountain. The white kite couldn't help but be a little nervous: "How many thousand thieves are coming?" I can't see it at all. ”

One thousand and five! Cheng Xu, who was standing next to him, saw the number of thieves clearly at a glance, and snorted: "It's really a bit much." ”

White Kite: "I heard that there are five or six thousand thieves stationed in Huanglong Mountain, why did you come here for one thousand and five?" ”

Cheng Xu said: "Although the thief army is huge, at least half of them are old and weak women, and there are only 3,000 who can fight. And these 3,000 people belong to Luochuan and Yichuan, these two thieves may not be willing to shoot at the same time, so it is only one of them who came today Bai Kite thought: Or there is more information in the hands of the imperial court officials, I have never heard of these things, but Cheng Xu knows that he must have received the urgent military situation report from Luochuan County and Yichuan County a long time ago.

Cheng Xu snorted: "Even if you only come a thousand and five, it will be difficult to do, these two groups of people have been fighting in Luochuan County and Yichuan County for a long time, and they are much more powerful than the Supreme Ming King you once cleaned up." ”

In this hum, somewhat with a little cowardice, he was staring at the thief army that came down the mountain, and saw a person in gray cloth in the thief army, looking up from a distance, and glancing at himself, the man raised his head, Cheng Xu saw it clearly, it was clearly the face of the grandmother, she also grinned at herself, opened her mouth and said something, looking at the mouth shape, it seemed to say to herself: "Good great-grandson, come and accompany your grandmother Cheng Xu hurriedly used his head twice, and then looked closely, okay, It's too far away, in fact, I can't see the person's appearance clearly, and the picture just now is completely my own hallucination.

I saw my grandmother, and this battle was unlucky. Cheng Xu had already retreated in his heart, turned around and whispered to the deputy inspector who had just gotten up and ran up the castle wall: "Secretly inform everyone, after a while, I will give an order, and immediately open the south fort gate and slip away, do you hear clearly?" ”

The deputy inspector nodded, and said in a low voice: "The subordinate has to order Bai Kite to glance at the two inspectors who were whispering, pretend not to care, and turn to the henchman next to him and say: "The thief army is coming down the mountain, and all the surrounding farmers are about to flock to Baijiabao, open the gate of the fort, let the people you know in, and no one who you don't know is allowed to enter." ”

He expected it to be right, and immediately a large number of villagers appeared, helping the old and the young, dragging children and daughters, and carrying a package on their backs, which contained the only little property left in the family, and flocked to Baijiabao The last time Baijiabao was attacked by the Supreme Ming King, the Bai family was not well prepared, and the surrounding people were also unprepared, and they were caught off guard by the Supreme Ming King, with heavy casualties, scattered and fled, and even Baijiabao was looted.

But this time it was different, the white kite was prepared early, and also notified the surrounding villagers early, so that they could hear the wind and grass and immediately come to Baijiabao to take refuge.

Therefore, the villagers packed up their belongings early, and as soon as they saw the thieves descending the mountain, they immediately abandoned their homes and fled, and all came to Baijiabao.

It didn't take long for the villagers to hide in the fort, the old, weak, sick and disabled retreated into the house, and the young and middle-aged people who had the strength to fight picked up the bamboo guns that had been stacked in the warehouse and stood in the position that the white kite had ordered in advance.

The healthy women also ran to the side of the pile of rolling logs and stones, and prepared the little Baijiabao, and suddenly the swords were rattling.

When Cheng Xu saw this, he couldn't help but let out a "huh", and said to the deputy inspector: "Why does this guy White Kite look very experienced in war?"

The deputy inspector said in a low voice: "I heard that this guy has fought three battles in a row recently, one battle was lost to the Supreme Ming King, one battle was won by the Supreme Ming King, and the other battle was to kill Zheng Yanfu and Chongguang Dao... This guy should be considered an experienced militia teacher by now. ”

Cheng Xu: "The last battle can't be counted, it's the ghosts of Gaojia Village who helped."

Deputy Inspector: "This white kite counts the number of people, there are twenty sappers, this is the trump card of the Baijiabao militia in his hand seventy-seven people, this is the main miscellaneous fish in his hands One hundred and twenty people, this is the icing on the cake The last eighty healthy women and white kites know that this battle is not easy to fight, just such a few people, leaning on the not too high fort wall, to resist the three thousand thieves, the end is more than auspicious, the key is to see Cheng Xu's attitude, if Cheng Xu does not escape, this battle still has to be fought, if he escapes, then he will probably not be able to withstand it, In the end, he had to abandon the fort and flee.

Therefore, the key to this battle is that he must have the upper hand at the beginning, and he can't let Cheng Xu feel that his side will lose, as long as he feels the slightest sign of defeat and runs away with the officers and soldiers, then this battle will really be lost. ”

The sentry shouted.

The white kite and Cheng Xu looked to the north at the same time, 1,500 thieves and soldiers, arranged into three formations, oh no, it should be said that they were tied into three piles, their military formations were crooked, not systematic, they could not be called arrays, they could only be called piles of bandits, and they held up a tattered flag, with the word "mud" painted on the flag Cheng Xu pointed to the bandits under the banner and said: "The last to press the formation is Luochuan without mud, so the two piles of people standing in front should be the generals under the mud without mud, two-winged tiger, purple gold dragon." ”

The white kite snorted, a little panicked, shook off his folding fan, and showed the two big words "gentleman" on the fan to cover his slightly pale face: "Why do these thieves have such ugly names?" It's too stupid Cheng Xu: "The nickname is to hide the real name, so as not to involve the relatives, and rebellion is a big crime for the nine clans." ”

White Kite: "It's funny that thieves still know how to protect their relatives." ”

Cheng Xu rolled his eyes: "Don't be weird, they're here."

As soon as this sentence came out, the situation instantly became tense, and the first to attack was the two-winged tiger, looking at his nickname, you can know that he is a guy who moves fast, with a shout, he didn't even say a word, he directly led five hundred subordinates, rushed towards Baijiabao, Cheng Xu's position brushed the ground, and then took half a step back, and entered a state of escaping at any time, but Bai Kite took a step forward and said loudly: "Trebuchet, giant ballista, prepare to listen to my orders!" ”

The Bai family and the group responded in unison: "Obey."

Cheng Xu glanced left and right: Damn, who is more angry than my subordinates?

Some people died, but not completely......
