Another day passed, and after the news reached the ears of the bandits, the sergeants dressed up in the early morning and headed for Jiaolongpan with their horses and blades.

As expected, as soon as the officers and soldiers moved, the traitors who were missing in the city immediately reported the news. The water village Jiaolongpan set up defensive checkpoints according to the route, transferred the property, and waited for the battle, as if facing the enemy, and even gathered the crowd to drink righteous wine, inspiring the bandits to resist stubbornly and fight bravely.

…… The results can be imagined.

The long line of officers and soldiers was in front of them, and the flags of the scouts were about to be raised—I didn't expect the leading officials and girls to just look at the river, chat for a while, turn around and leave.

Let's go?

Let's go?!

Everyone in the water village couldn't believe it.

The big boss of Jiaolongpan is named Zhou Niang, and she has a great reputation on the waterway. As the saying goes, "When the dragon king comes, you have to make way for Grandma Wednesday", it is her.

This person is nearly forty years old, in the prime of life, his skin is tanned, his height is close to 1.8 meters, he is covered with lean muscles that have been trained for many years, and he does not look strong when he wears leather armor, but looks like an agile leopard.

Zhou Niang looked at the route of the officers and soldiers from afar, and she couldn't make up her mind. Water bandits are good at water, and they are prosperous on the lake and waterway, so they can't easily go out to ambush, one is not enough combat power, and the other is not enough manpower. They can be triumphant and show off their might in front of the official army, relying on the spies in the city and the home advantage.

There's no way she's going to chase her out.

The big boss did not give the order, and all the water bandits looked at each other, and they did not dare to easily remove their guards, and after another half an hour, not to mention the army, even the smoke of the horses running out was dispersed.

At this time, a young lady whispered: "You won't really leave, will you?" ”

"And what are they doing here?"

"Scouting the terrain?"

By this time, the courage in the hearts of the water bandits had long since dissipated, and they became very lazy again. They looked at the face of the big boss, and their minds had already drifted to eating, drinking, gambling and sleeping with men, and they had forgotten all about the courage of blood and qi just now.

Wednesday Niang looked around and said with a calm face: "It's scattered." ”

The bandits then dispersed in a hurry, and began to loot and sell human beings, buy rice and wine when they got profits, and gamble wantonly.

On the second day, the officers and men continued to march early in the morning and marched to Jiaolongpan according to the second route.

This time the news came a little slowly, as soon as Zhou Niang heard about the other party's movements, she immediately made arrangements, redistributed the forces of the entire stockade, hid the treasures, pulled a group of water bandits to drink bravely, shouted encouragement, and forced everyone to meet the enemy.

"Last time, it was a suspicious tactic, and I shot a false shot." Wednesday Niang opened her mouth to increase her momentum, "Even if they are as careful as a hair, so they are suspicious, but they still miss a trick." The eyeliner in the city has not been removed, so they dare to come to the levy, and they have to give these military ladies some powerful looks, so that they know that our village is not easy to mess with! ”

Although the water bandits were not as emotional as last time, they were also mobilized by the masters, and they all put on combat armor and weapons, stretched out their bows and arrows, and were ready to engage the officers and soldiers at any time.

This time, the army still stopped before Bazhai.

Outside the range of bows and arrows, several military ladies walked around the water village and in different directions, chatting with each other.

"The river is slow, but it is not easy to force it to cross." Huan Er said, "There are many reeds in this river, if you want to attack the water village, bows and arrows are like rain or second, I am afraid that those water bandits will be on guard, dive under the water in advance, and pull our people down." ”

Li Qing said worriedly: "You can't take it by force, how about using fire?" ”

"There are also the people they plundered inside, and I am afraid that the loss of fire will be too great." Xue Yuxiao said, "If there is a water war, our armor will become a burden, and we will sink to death when we enter the water, so we have to think of a way." ”

The men chatted for a moment, then drove their horses away.

Under the noses of the bandits, the thousands of officers and soldiers actually turned around the door again, and without even firing the bow and arrow, they turned around and left.

This time, the bandits did not have the patience to wait too long, and soon their spirits were relieved, and one by one they slouched and slouched on their stomachs. There were even a few who took advantage of the big boss's inattention and sneaked away, and they didn't wait outside for a long time.

Wednesday's mother's face sank like water, and she knew that she had fallen for the strategy of the officers and soldiers. But this is a conspiracy at all, and it is impossible for her not to believe the news from the city, what if the other party really wants to attack?

Wednesday Niang was angry, took off the long whip on her waist and crackled, and woke up a few sleepy water bandits alive, and scolded: "Thief military mother, use this poisonous trick for the third aunt and grandmother." You're all shit, fools who only care about what you're enjoying in front of you—"

However, no matter how much she scolded and whipped, the bandits still couldn't cheer up. Wednesday Niang was also deflated and said, "Disperse." ”

The thieves shouted for joy, and immediately scattered as birds and beasts.

After less than half a day's rest, news came from the city that the officers and soldiers were coming to attack according to a new route.

This time, Wednesday Niang had just received the news, and the scouts had already discovered the traces of the officers and soldiers. Before she could speak, the second master in the village was furious, pulled a knife from his waist, and cut off the messenger's head with a "bang": "You are simply playing aunt and grandmother!" ”

The head hit the ground, and blood burst out when it landed. The people in the hall were not surprised, and even a few applauded: "The second master did the right thing!" These people colluded with military mothers, and they were simply fooling us! ”

"Kill it, kill it, sisters keep drinking!"

"What officers and soldiers, timid as a mouse, they didn't dare to fight last time, and they didn't dare to commit it!"

There are a few drunk arrogant water thieves at the bottom, making a lot of nonsense while slapping a few people in charge.

Wednesday Niang looked at the head that rolled over the bones, and felt as if a mouthful of blood rushed to her throat, she was furious, grabbed the collar of the second child, slapped her twice with a bow left and right, and shouted: "Your father's brain is dizzy!" Kill someone, who would dare to come over and report the news in the city?! ”

The second boss was blinded by her, stayed for a long time, and said recklessly: "Sister, we have been played around a few times, isn't it enough?" ”

"All go out to meet the enemy!" Wednesday Niang pulled out the knife on her waist and smashed the table at once, "Whoever dares to take half a step back, I will kill her on the spot!" ”

Although the thieves did not understand, when they saw the angry face of the big boss, they all put down their wine cups and swords to meet the enemy. This time, they were still drunk and full of perfunctory things - the officers and soldiers didn't dare to fight anyway, so they came to shop and went back.

Wednesday Niang couldn't see their perfunctory, but she had no choice but to use force to supervise.

As expected, there was no fight for the third time, and the officers and soldiers shook around the door again, followed and walked back to their homes slowly.

The thieves looked at the face of the big boss, and on the surface they were respectful, but in fact, they had already muttered in their hearts, yawning and going back to sleep.

Another night passed.

The more calm the storm was, the more Zhou Niang felt a sense of tension and terror of a knife cut. This fear of losing the stability of the message enveloped her, keeping the dignified "dragon in the water" awake at night and keeping her eyes open until dawn.

On the contrary, the thieves under her command were relieved, drank and laughed, and continued to live their happy life based on murder and robbery.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the second master was enjoying himself on the bed with the snatched Xiao Langjun, and suddenly there was a drum beating outside. The young man in her arms trembled, hurriedly put on his clothes and tied them, but was hugged by the second master's waist and hugged tightly, and laughed: "What are you panicking about? There must be news that those military ladies are coming to suppress the bandits, it's all fake, they are simply scaring people, in fact, they don't dare to fight, don't be afraid, let's continue-"

As he spoke, he hugged the boy into his arms and pressed him underneath.

When the obscene words continued in the house, Wednesday Niangdang kicked open the door, raised her hand to pick up the second child, and scolded with a slashed face: "Horny bastard waste, when you hear the drums, you don't want to call the sisters to meet the enemy, do you still want your head to stand on your neck well?!" ”

The second master hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, they will definitely not fight this time." ”

Wednesday Niang really wanted to slash her with a knife, but when she thought that the two were Jinlan sisters who had come all the way, she suppressed her anger and said, "Go and call someone!" ”

The second master put on his pants and walked out while getting dressed. At this moment, it is also a cold night in late autumn, the cold wind blows, the lust in her mind suddenly fades, and when she calls someone to go on patrol, she suddenly sees a bloody water bandit running from not far away, with a feather arrow stuck in his chest. ”

In an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the water bandit fell to the ground.

At this time, the second master's drunkenness also woke up, his hair was upside down, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Feather arrows and blades finally woke up the entire water village.

Due to the slackness of the bandits, the attack launched at the fourth arrival was effortless. As soon as the battle began, the officers and men seized the opportunity, crossed the river in one breath, and rushed straight to the gate of the village, and the reeds in front of the entire water village resounded with the sound of hand-to-hand combat, mixed with screams from time to time.

"Sure enough." Li Qingchou was refreshed and his eyes were bright, "They are completely defenseless, so that we can calmly cross the river, this natural and dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack can no longer pose a threat." ”

"It's Xue Duwei's strategy that is too clever to guess people's hearts." Xiao Pingyu did not hesitate to praise, "If I am promoted to be a ruler in the future, I can only win over the captain, and I dare not be the enemy of the captain." ”

"Bring the bow." Li Qingchou turned his head and ordered.

The sergeant lady beside her immediately took down the bow and arrow and handed it to Li Peng. Although Li Qingchou is Wen Peng's job, her archery skills are amazing, and after nearly a hundred meters, she pulled up a 200-pound Zhemu bow, the string was like a full moon, and there was a swishing sound that broke through the air-

A water bandit at the height of the walled gate had an arrow in his eyebrows, his body froze, and he fell down with his head up.

"Okay." Li Furong didn't squint, and only praised one word, "You have some ability." ”

After that, she actually turned over and dismounted, and personally took the Li family's personal guards and a team of officers and soldiers to quickly cross the river and rush straight to the water village.

Except for Li Qingchou, a sharpshooter who pulls 200 catties and is unique in 10,000 pounds, it is an extremely dangerous thing to cross the river and enter the range of ordinary archers. As Li Furong's descendant, this is simply jaw-dropping.

But this is also the case, even the daughters of the Li family rushed to the front, and the guards and officers and soldiers who walked with her dared not to serve? At the moment when Li Furong rushed in with people, the whole team was extremely brave, and directly opened a hole, slashing the water bandits like harvesting rice seedlings, and the opponent's formation immediately became a mess.

Not to mention the others, Li Qingchou was stunned, she turned her head to look at Xue Yuxiao: "She, she...... It's too temperamental! ”

Xue Yuxiao touched her chin and said, "Don't ask me, since I slapped her in Chunshui Garden, this person's temperament has changed greatly, and she looks like she wants to kill people every day, and finally let her get a chance." ”

Li Qingchou heard that there was such a thing: "No wonder she is always yin and yang, it turns out that there is this reason." ”

As she spoke, she also rolled off the horse, ordered a few guards, and showed a little unconvinced arrogance between her eyebrows: "Chanjuan, you stay here and don't come forward." She can rush over, so can I, you are handsome, as long as you are in charge of the Chinese army. Her Wednesday mother's head, let me take it off and give it to you! ”

She said this, firstly, because the two of them are friends of life and death, regardless of you and me, and secondly, because the strategy proposed by Xue Yuxiao has miraculous results, she must be the first credit, no matter who kills the head of the thief, there is a part of Xue Yuxiao's credit.

Before Xue Yuxiao could say anything, he didn't look at it, Li Qingchou crossed the river with his head without looking back, as fierce as a tigress, and soon caught up with Li Furong.

Xue Yuxiao: "...... Both of them are quite popular. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Huan Er said, "Let's not go, according to this posture, it won't take half an hour, it is estimated that we can collect troops and return to the city, meet the general, and don't have to risk ourselves." ”

Everything went too well.

Xue Yuxiao watched from afar, she clenched the reins, and the snow-stepping black horse under her was pacing slowly on the shore. Amid the gentle trampling of horses' hooves, Xue Yuxiao stared at the dense reeds, feeling that this group of water thieves who dominated one side might not be so vulnerable.

Suddenly, a military lady behind Li Qingchou suddenly fell into the river, she didn't even scream, as if there was a water ghost in the reeds, grabbed her ankle and sank to the bottom of the river, only fluttering for a few minutes, and the blisters didn't even float up, so she didn't move at all.

And that's just the beginning. As soon as one sergeant was pulled under the water, the other bandits immediately began to fight back fiercely under the command of the master. Their bows, arrows, and mechanisms were all aimed at the elite soldiers in armor, and many water thieves jumped directly into the river, not fighting head-on with the officers and soldiers at all, but grabbing people into the water out of nowhere.

At this time, Xue Yuxiao released a ringing arrow on the shore.

After this whistling sound rushed into the air, the sergeants got some hints, and pulled the armor on their bodies down - after returning to the camp a few times ago, Xue Yuxiao asked the elite soldiers with the highest armor coverage rate to replace the cloth strips connecting the armor with straw ropes, although the grass rope is tough, but when it is full of water, it will immediately become swollen and soft, and it will fall off if you pull it hard, which is suitable for unloading armor and fighting at a critical moment.

The tide of events was reversed again in an instant.

Li Qingchou slashed and attacked the village all the way, rushed up and cut an archer, and ran into the second master head-on.

The second master can establish a site with Wednesday Niang and run such a large water village, it is conceivable that he is also a capable person. The leather armor on her body had been specially concocted several times, and ordinary blades could not pierce it at all. When the two meet, it can be said that they are chess opponents, full of swords and swords.

Xue Yuxiao couldn't see Li Qingchou's figure anymore, she hadn't found any trace of Zhou Zhouniang's appearance so far, and she was worried that Li Qingchou would be ambushed, so she no longer hesitated and took Xue's personal guards into the battle.

Not to mention the two Wen Peng, even Xue Duwei crossed the river. The rest of the people didn't dare to escape, and they felt that no matter how much they spared their lives, they couldn't compare to the lives of the Xue family's daughters, and even Lord Duwei was not afraid, were they even more greedy for life and afraid of death? So the momentum was extremely strong, several times more fierce and fierce than before, and it was less than half a stick of incense, and it suddenly collapsed the walled gate.

The sky was full of arrows and feathers, the ground was covered with blood, and the fallen corpses almost buried the road.

The drums of war are thundering.

After all, Li Qingchou is amazing in martial arts, firmly suppressing the second master in the upper hand, no matter how tough her leather armor is, she was slashed bloodstained and covered with scars by the plain long sword in Li Niangzi's hand. Just when the second master couldn't support it, he raised his head and shouted: "Eldest sister!" ”

The two were too close, and the sound suddenly rushed into Li Qingchou's ears, shaking her cochlea into a roar. She had a chill down her spine, a terrifying crisis enveloped her, and she subconsciously rolled to the side to dodge -

Bang dang!

A ring-headed big knife slashed at the place where Li Qingchou had just now.

Wednesday Niang's face was murderous, and she didn't say much, she raised her knife and slashed, and a blazing wind slashed down in her face. Li Qingchou raised his sword to block, and was ready to be shattered, but the blade of the sword was flicked by something "bang", deviated by half an inch, and suddenly fell down with the long sword.

Li Qingchou took the opportunity to counterattack, and the sword body stabbed at Zhou Zhouniang, not waiting for the hit, and the second master on the side immediately pounced on her and fought with her.

Wednesday Niang looked at the stones rolling down on the ground, looked in the direction that flew over, and saw Xue Yuxiao, who was dressed in a red robe and covered with thin armor.

Xue Yuxiao also looked at the stones on the ground, she originally wanted to hit the other party's hand...... It's off, and the knife is on.

"You set off the arrow." Wednesday Niang suddenly said, "This is what you designed?" ”
