Chapter 23: Head-to-head
Ghost Li leaned back on the wide seat, crossed Erlang's legs, looked down at the groveling visitor, and snorted in his nose.
"Huang Sicheng?"
"Haven't heard of it!"
"What's the thing that deserves to be called my brother?"
Na Yanshan's face changed, as if he wanted to have a seizure, but he was patient again, and changed his words and persuaded:
"If the owner of Dazhai wants to raise a big event, he must recruit the heroes of the world, we are not good, we can be a thousand gold and horse bones, in order to attract talents to vote."
"Hey! I can even drag the text! Why don't you take the top exam? Ghost Li scoffed.
"The ancients bought the bones of a thousand horses, not the bones of a horse!"
"Buying the bones of a horse with a thousand dollars will not play a role in recruiting heroes, but will only be ridiculed as a wronged leader!"
"The phoenix does not fall into the chicken nest, the dragon does not live with the snake, if the leaders of the cottage are all such waste wood as you wait, how can anyone want to come again?"
That Yanshan is on his own mountain, and he is also a leader, and he is usually respected and feared by others, where has he been so humiliated, and he was suddenly shocked and angry, and his words couldn't help but be a lot stiffer.
"Li Da Dang killed Yishui Zhixian, and he is a wanted criminal by the imperial court, but his identity is well concealed, and he has never been known by the government."
"But I don't know, if someone goes to the official mansion to make a head and let him know who is in charge on Yushan, what will the old man do?"
The threat in Yanshankou was undoubtedly revealed, but Ghost Li didn't eat this, he smiled coldly, and his face was full of murderous intentions.
"Hehe, you said that I have been training recently, where did the so-called come from?"
"If it's not for the imperial army, is it for the sake of your flock of birds?"
Yan Shan was startled, cold sweat trickled down, and he didn't dare to say more.
"Get down the hill, tell the one surnamed Huang, wash your neck obediently, and wait for our family to cut it!"
Without waiting for the surrounding soldiers to come and catch up, Yan Shan farted and urinated, and fled in disgrace.
But after Yan Shan fled back to Lotus Cottage, he explained the situation clearly to several brothers, and then persuaded:
"Brother, that Ghost Li has a big plan, he won't just be satisfied with the unification of Yishui, I'm afraid that he will really recruit the imperial army, who can stop it then?"
"If my brother is willing to listen to my younger brother's advice, I might as well abandon this cottage and take away the gold and silver, let's change the state capital and start a new stove, wouldn't it be much safer?"
Huang Sicheng hadn't spoken yet, and the second master said impatiently:
"The third brother is not going to be bluffed by that Li ghost, if he is really not afraid of the imperial army, he will not flee to Yushan and fall into the grass, and directly occupy the yamen in Yishui County, wouldn't he live faster?"
"What else do you say is so big, is it difficult, does he still want to be the emperor?"
"Don't look at it, is there any smoke coming from his ancestral grave?"
The leaders burst into laughter.
Yan Shan hurriedly continued to persuade: "Brother doesn't know, I see that on the mountain, there are all the sentry posts, all the flags and gongs and drums, it is said that it is a cottage, more like a military village, it is really not something we can deal with." ”
When they heard this, they were all silent.
How about their own cottages, of course they know that they are not much better than staying in cottages and basin cottages, since the two cottages can't be stopped, they are naturally not good.
After a while, another leader made a plan: "Our Lotus Cottage alone, of course, is not Ghost Li's opponent, you might as well contact other cottages and join forces to fight." ”
Everyone was in high spirits and agreed.
"That's right, then Ghost Li just grabbed some weapons and armor from Li Daguanren's shop, if you talk about the number of people, it's only more than 100, let's have a few cottages together, there are thousands, and the odds are not small."
"At that time, get some wooden shields, block the front, and fight ten more by one, what are you afraid of him?"
"Since we know that he is coming, we can set a trap halfway, and then make the ambush kill, and the chances of victory will increase by a few percent."
Everyone, you and I said a word, gossiping, and began to discuss the matter of the confrontation of the joint forces, and regarded the words in Yanshankou as the wind in their ears.
It's not that they don't believe Yanshan's words, it's just that the good money is hard to give up, and the leaders in the village are reluctant to flee in their hearts.
Yan Shan persuaded a few words, but seeing that it was useless, he could only give up in despair, went back to pack his things, and secretly slipped down the mountain while he was unattended at night.
The next day, Li Gui gathered his soldiers again, took those men who did not marry daughters-in-law as the main force, and happily killed Lotus Mountain.
Halfway through, he suddenly heard the sound of a wooden whistle in front of him, Li Ghost hurriedly waved his hand to stop the team, and from a distance, he saw Li Laoqi with a few scouts, fleeing with his life, and many thieves behind him were in hot pursuit.
"Straight sissy thief!"
"You still dare to fight grandpa's ambush!"
Ghost Li spat heavily, waved his hand, and drank the order.
This time, the soldiers were much more familiar, and they quickly lined up and marched forward with their guns raised.
After Li Laoqi approached the battle formation, he went around to the flank and hid in the formation, only to report breathlessly:
"Brother beware, there are many thieves ahead, and from a rough point of view, there are hundreds, not to be underestimated."
When the pursuers got closer, they saw the gunfire formation, and they did not dare to pursue it any longer, so they only patrolled around and waited for the large army in the rear to arrive.
"Thief Bird!"
"A group of rabble, even dare to offend Grandpa Huwei!"
"Little ones, do you see the flock of birds in front of you?"
"A group of people who sell their heads, but they are not meritorious!"
"Stabb one to death, and there will be a mother-in-law!"
"Stay in formation and follow me forward!"
Ghost Li drew his knife, led his own soldiers, and strode forward, while the rest of the spearmen, following closely with the sound of drums, followed in unison.
Those chasing soldiers, who were brave in the cottages, also had steel knives and wooden shields in their hands, and saw Li Gui rushing up with his own soldiers, relying on the large number of people, and they were not afraid, and dozens of people came up to catch and kill.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked at his face, the leader was led by Li Gui with a shield, and he was cut in two, and the blood was spraying on Li Gui like a fountain.
"Take some broken copper and iron, and dare to put it right with grandpa?"
Ghost Li scolded angrily, brandished his twin knives, and penetrated straight into the bandit formation.
He was drenched in blood, like a ghost, and he walked back and forth, and there was no enemy.
With his might, the soldiers behind him followed, like sharp arrows, and corpses were strewn all over the place where they passed.
The leaders were horrified, hurriedly retreated, and chanted incessantly:
"Shield!"
"Use your shield!"
"Block him!"
The ordinary thieves who came from behind raised their hurried wooden shields one after another, and pushed them to the front in layers to resist the impact.
Ghost Li's momentum decreased slightly, and the gunmen behind him had arrived.
"Thorn!"
With the command of the general, the spear array was densely stabbed.
Although there are many shields of the thieves, they have not been trained, there are many flaws, and there are loopholes everywhere, where can they block this dense puncture.
After a round, the thief fell to the ground on the spot, that is, he was immortal, and he also rolled on the ground and wailed, losing his ability to fight.
The thieves were already a rabble, and their morale was even more devoid, so it was okay to fight a good fight, but after discovering that the wooden shield was useless, they immediately collapsed on the spot.
