The white kite asked in detail about the situation ahead.

Fan Shangxian introduced aggrievedly that he and Zhang Yingchang also came along the Luo River.

Lushi County is mountainous, the road is difficult, and there is only an official road on the side of the Luo River.

The imperial army wanted to ensure the supply line, and it was impossible to drill wild roads everywhere like the Liukou, so they could only follow the official road by the Luo River.

This gave the rogues a good chance to ambush them.

On both sides of this official road from Liucun to the county seat, there are rogue gangsters everywhere, and they will give the officers and soldiers an ambush if they have nothing to do.

In the past, the officers and soldiers were not too afraid of ambushes, but after the scouts investigated clearly, the officers and soldiers used their shields to block the few broken arrows of the rogue, and they could easily kill all the ambush soldiers of the rogue.

But now it's different, the ambush soldiers of the rogue are armed with firearms and crossbows, all of which are fucking border equipment. Once ambushed by the rogues, the officers and soldiers will suffer heavy casualties.

Zhang Yingchang said here aggrievedly, and finally concluded: "The equipment used by this general is all at the level of guards, and the rogue actually uses the equipment of the border army, are they rogue or is the general a rogue or is it a rogue robber?" ”

He's a little injured!

The dignified general of a province, the general of the second grade!

The soldiers under his command are not as well equipped as the rogues, who is to reason with this?

After hearing this, the white kite also felt funny, but in the case of complex terrain, ambushing soldiers is really a big trouble, and he has to deal with the same headache.

Seeing the appearance of the officers and soldiers wanting to hug their thighs, the white kite had no choice but to find another thigh to hug, and whispered to the golden thread Tianzun statue on his chest: "Tianzun, are you there?" ”

Golden Thread Tianzun grinned.

The white kite whispered, "I want to ask you for help." ”

Golden Thread Tianzun: "Hmm! Let's put up the Kong Ming lantern. ”

The white kite is overjoyed, and the thighs are there.

He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Put on the Kong Ming lantern." ”

Since Shi Jian fought a battle in northern Shaanxi, the Gaojia villagers are now on the expedition, equipped with Kong Ming lanterns as standard, and these subsequent Kong Ming lanterns are no longer just looking for a book and tearing a page of Tianzun statue to paste it.

It's beautifully crafted!

After all, everyone loves Tianzun very much, how can the things used to carry Tianzun be made carelessly? It has to be the best craftsmanship, beautifully painted, like a work of art.

Some of the eight sides of Kong Ming lanterns even use eight different pictures to tell the various miracles performed by Tianzun when he appeared.

As soon as this exquisite Kong Ming lantern was taken out, Fan Shangxiao and Zhang Yingchang were stunned: "What is this? ”

White Kite: "As you can see, Kong Ming lantern." ”

Fan Shangxiao: "Why do you want to put this one up?" ”

Zhang Yingchang: "These colorful and exquisite headlights, as soon as they are put into the sky, won't they tell the Liukou: The officers and soldiers are coming!" Isn't it more convenient for them to ambush? ”

The white kite patted his fire hammer and smiled: "It's good to come, they're coming, we just happened to beat them." ”

Zhang Yingchang covered his face: "But the other party is an ambush, an ambush, only they sneak attack us." ”

White Kite: "Don't worry, you won't be ambushed." Let's go, move forward, we have to enter the county seat of Lushi first. ”

Zhang Yingchang was a little panicked, and he really didn't dare to move forward.

But Fan Shangxiao was more confident in the white kite, and still dared to move forward, but reminded the white kite a little tactfully: "Mr. Bai, don't underestimate the rogues, now they are well-equipped, if they are ambushed, the loss will be great." ”

White Kite: "Don't worry, Governor. ”

Fan Shangxiao asked in a low voice, "By the way, did Xiao Qixia come this time?" He has great merit in the world, and with him alone, he can be worth an army. ”

The white kite smiled: "Of course it's here, just sleep in the carriage behind, when he doesn't want to move, don't bother him." At a critical time, his old man will make a move. ”

"Old man?" Fan Shangxiao was a little suspicious that he had misheard, so young and promising, you said he was an old man?

Forget it, that's not the point!

In short, the militia group was in the front, and the officers and soldiers were in the back, leaving Liucun and setting off along the official road by the Luo River towards the county seat of Lushi.

Kong Ming's lantern floated above the heads of the militia group at half a height......

This height ensures that Li Daoxuan's field of vision is wide, and it prevents him from having too high a field of vision and being obscured by woods or something.

Meanwhile......

On the hillside southwest of the village, a group of thieves are hiding.

The leader of this gang of thieves is called Scorpion Block, who used to be the captain of the fourth team under Da Kou Bu Mud, and later died in the battle without mud, but Scorpion Block is getting better and better, and now the total strength is more than 1,500 people.

The scorpion block himself led the main force of 4,000 people and sat in the county seat of Lushi. The other more than 6,000 subordinates were scattered in the mountains and forests around the county seat, closely monitoring the official roads.

The group of thieves in the southwest of Liucun is the scorpion block's subordinates, with a number of about 1,000, specially arranged here, ready to ambush the Henan soldiers.

The group was lazily nibbling on the looted grain, when suddenly, a scout shouted: "Look, on the official road over there in Liucun, a very beautiful Kong Ming lantern has risen." ”

A large group of thieves went to see when they heard the sound.

They soon saw that a huge and colorful Kong Ming lantern was floating in the sky in the distance, still slowly advancing.

The scout ran to the edge of the hill to take a look, turned his head and smiled: "It was the officers and soldiers who put it up." ”

The rogues laughed: "Are the officers and soldiers crazy? lest we not know that they are coming? And a light to remind us? ”

"Brothers, it's time to work!"

"The soldiers of Henan are going to die, let's greet them with firearms and crossbows, and they will have to flee back to Liucun immediately."

The rogues giggled and picked up their new weapons.

These firecrackers and repeaters are said to have been sold to them by a mysterious merchant, but they ordinary thieves don't know who the merchant is, anyway, they think the merchant is very good.

Of the 1,000 thieves, 200 had firearms, 300 had repeaters, and 500 were ordinary rogue equipment.

They lay down on the edge of the cliff, and those who had good equipment began to prepare ammunition and crossbow arrows, and prepared to make trouble, while the five hundred ordinary rogues with garbage equipment slowly moved to the edge of the woods, and lay down, and when the fire guns and crossbows had broken the morale of the officers and soldiers, they went out to chase and cut down the officers and soldiers, beat the water dogs, and snatched the booty.

I saw the officers and soldiers coming from far and near, along the official road, slowly, towards their ambush circle......

The thieves secretly rejoiced: "This team of officers and soldiers looks stupid, even the scouts have been released." ”

"From a distance, they don't look like officers and soldiers, and they are dressed slightly differently from officers and soldiers."

"Like a vigilante?"

"Huh? This militia seems to be carrying a firecrackle on everyone's back. ”

"A militia of firecrackers? Is there any mistake? ”

"Is the militia's equipment so luxurious?"

"It's okay, they don't know we're ambushing here, so they'll kill them all in a moment and snatch their firecrackers."

The rogues made up their minds in their hearts, but when they saw that the militia was still a hundred paces away from the birds, it suddenly stopped, and the leader of the man in white took an iron shouting microphone and shouted in the direction where they were: "I see you." ”
