Because the matter was urgent, the disguised bandits were only a hundred miles away from the sweet water shop, and these people might be in action when Mr. Zhuge analyzed, so there was no delay for a moment.

Once the goal was determined, Jiangnan Yanyulou immediately prepared.

At this time, he couldn't care about hiding people's eyes, Xu Fei rode a divine horse, and Zhou Yun, Wu Wei and Chu Chu girls all chose the best horses. Everyone immediately set off to help the sweet water shop, just hoping to get here before the bandits arrived.

In fact, Mr. Zhuge 's analysis is based on intelligence aggregation, and it is impossible to do everything in detail. The estimate of the number of bandits in each band is based on the approximate time of the defeat of the local garrison in the news from all over the country.

Therefore, it is estimated that there are about 700 people in each bandit, but in fact, there are only 500 soldiers and horses in each group. It is because there are many energetic people among these people, and the combat effectiveness of these Xiliang soldiers disguised as bandits is also very strong.

That's why Mr. Zhuge made some mistakes in his calculations.

These people were indeed slow to move according to the original plan, and Xu Fei and their horses were very fast, and according to calculations, they could have rushed to the barracks before these thieves reached the sweet water shop.

But people are not as good as heaven, this group of Xiliang soldiers closest to Tianshuipu was looting, and they accidentally got a news, that is, a large number of prisoners were held in the abandoned copper mines nearby, as if the nearby officials and soldiers had just exterminated the mountain bandits captured by the cottage.

At the same time, the leader of this group of Xiliang soldiers and horses also received a message from the flying pigeon, ordering him to immediately put down all his baggage and supplies, take down the military camp of Tianshuipu as soon as possible, defeat the officers and soldiers, and then garrison for reinforcements.

As for the discarded baggage, there is another nearby army to pick it up, and if you take the sweet water shop, you must not miss anything, and you must wait until the reinforcements come. When the leader received the news, he immediately threw the supplies and baggage on the side of the road, and led the five hundred elite soldiers to rush to the Tianshuipu military camp.

Bantam Tiger Wang Ying was training soldiers and horses in the military camp at this time, since Xu Fei removed the evil qi in his body, he had an epiphany and mastered the ability of strength due to misfortune, and the original marksmanship was even more powerful.

And it is important that the ambition of the whole person has also changed dramatically, and he has become as enterprising as he was when he was young. Especially when I heard that the messenger wanted to give himself a few kind words in front of Prime Minister Zhou Xiongqi, my heart was full of expectations.

Thinking that he has been suffering all these years but has not been promoted, and finally this time he has the opportunity to reach the heavens, how can this bantam tiger king not like it. Therefore, these hundreds of people were trained all day long, and the old and weak soldiers complained bitterly.

I can't help but miss the state when this Wang Ying was drunk like mud all day long, like a drunk cat. At least at that time, the big guys can be idle. , compared to what technique is practiced by the north wind now, I don't know how much stronger.

But now this Wang Ying is like being beaten with chicken blood, and the whole person is extremely excited. shouted at hundreds of old and weak soldiers all day long, and a hundred hatreds in my heart could not become steel. I am afraid that if I come to see my soldiers so weak, I will be complained again.

Almost all the people in the barracks were bitter in their hearts, but only Wang Ying's mother-in-law was full of joy in her heart.

Seeing that her husband is so high-spirited now, the heroic temperament of many years ago has returned to him, and he also has love for this ugly and small husband in his heart.

The couple is now in close love, but how do they know that a great disaster is about to befall the barracks of Sweet Water Shop.

The leader of that Xiliang army was named Chu Liancheng, who was not very old, but he was one of the candidates for the heir of the five families under Li Meng. After so many years of teaching, the kind of strength ability that can tear people apart from the qi veins has also become a small success.

The reason why these Xiliang soldiers are so strong in combat is because their organizational structure is different from that of ordinary troops, and those small leaders are all capable of serving with unusual skills.

The leader of the five, the captain of the team, such a small captain needs a person with a lot of strength to be able to serve. As for the chief of the twenty, and even the centurion who led the hundred. It is also necessary to select from the energetic people, and those who can reach the level of centurion are all good hands among the energetic ones.

And every ordinary soldier is the best of the best, one in a hundred elite divisions. What's more, these people are by no means some unorganized rabble, they are trained extremely strictly on weekdays, and everyone is a veteran of the army when it comes to marching and fighting.

These people don't want to say that they are converging in one place, even if they are sent to the towns and counties in twos and threes, they have the ability to make waves. Now there are more than 500 people, and there are many strong players among them, so the combat power displayed is much stronger than the ordinary elite.

This made Mr. Zhuge erroneous.

These people were hungry and thirsty for the night, and the hundred miles away had already arrived by a rapid march in only half a day, and Chu Liancheng, who led the team, did not attack the military camp at the first time, but rushed towards the abandoned copper mine that he knew in advance.

The mine was less than thirty miles away from the barracks, and there were only thirty soldiers guarding the mine.

Because the topography of the copper mine is very special, there is only a very narrow road to the surface. If you want to escape, it is overwhelming, and no matter how many people there are, there is no way to do it. Twenty or thirty men were enough to hold the road with bows and arrows.

Although the bows and arrows made by the craftsmen of the Central Plains are not strong bows, they are really small alleys on this narrow road, driving pigs straight to and fro.

The road was very narrow for both of them, and the thieves were unarmed, and there were no tools in the copper mines, so they couldn't do anything to cover the bows and arrows.

In the first month of the year, in the tunnels of the copper mine, they were frozen and shrunken by this cold winter, and those officers and soldiers only gave two meals of pots made of mixed noodles every day, and most of these thieves were some tall and strong figures.

The purpose of this Xiliang soldier is to rescue these thieves, because this Chu Liancheng saw from a distance that the military camp of Tianshuipu had dug a deep ditch, and the earthen wall was more than two zhang high. In the deep ditch were sharp wooden spears, and the earthen walls and trenches seemed to have been renovated in recent days.

And the sound of drills in the barracks resounded in the sky, and it seemed that the sergeants inside were different from those officers and soldiers who were defeated in front of them, and they should have some combat effectiveness.

The width of that kind of trench is beyond the strength of a few people who can break through, and other soldiers can't do it. It seems that the attack on the sweet water shop barracks is another tough battle, if you can lose less of your own brothers, you can become safe in the subsequent garrison.

I heard that the people imprisoned in the copper mine are some mountain bandits, and according to the laws of the Hua Han Kingdom, the bandits who gather into bandits are some death row prisoners. If these people were simply armed and let them storm the barracks, it would greatly reduce the casualties of their brothers.

As for where these people go after taking the barracks, it has nothing to do with them. These people were all lightly armed and infiltrated the Central Plains, and they did not bring a lot of siege equipment, and the trench had just been repaired recently, and the width had reached nearly three zhang.

Most of the brothers of this width are really impossible to cross, and with these condemned prisoners, when they attack, they will become targets that consume the number of arrows of the opponent and a stepping stone to cross the trench.

Chu Liancheng rushed to the copper mine and found that the initial terrain was a wide and deep pit, with only one exit. On the ground from the exit, there were more than a dozen soldiers lazily guarding it, and their bows and arrows were thrown on the ground, and they looked like some old and weak soldiers who had been absent from the battle formation for a long time.

Those old and weak soldiers were frozen and shrunk one by one in the cold wind, and their hands were copied in their sleeves, not knowing that a catastrophe was coming.

Chu Liancheng slowly raised his hand.

Swing down quickly.
