Both sides dispatched a lot of masters in the elite battle, and at this time, there were few masters on the side of the rooftop court, and there were still more than a dozen on the bandit side, which showed that the masters of the bandits were indeed a lot smarter.

If it weren't for Li Wuchang's sneak attack, the imperial court would have lost this decisive battle.

Since the beginning of the elite war, Li Wuchang has been walking the streets, taking the time to observe the situation on the roof of the building, and has been holding back and not making a move, just worried that Nie Jia from the Tianluo Gang will suddenly appear.

Watching the masters of the imperial court fall one by one, Li Wuchang didn't make a move, watching Nie Jia force Duan Long to the point where he had no choice but to die or die, Li Wuchang still didn't make a move.

Just to wait for an opportunity.

At the moment when Zhu Changlong consumed a lot of true qi and fought hard with Jiang Minglun, the opportunity finally came, and Li Wuchang sent two gold-breaking shots in his best state, seriously injuring Zhu Changlong.

Then he besieged Zhu Changlong with Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun, and the situation was very good.

Originally, Li Wuchang was eighty percent sure that he wished Changlong to die, but unfortunately he was still destroyed by Nie Jia.

Nie Jia decisively gave up chasing Duan Long, quickly floated over to rescue Zhu Changlong, and with only two swords, he forced Li Wuchang, Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun to retreat, and then took Zhu Changlong to calmly go, which made people have to be convinced.

"Poof......

Zhao Xun spurted out another mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

Li Wuchang hurriedly supported Zhao Xun.

Duan Long roared, "Brother Jiang, we slaughtered them. ”

Jiang Minglun nodded, flew over and entangled with the remaining dozen or so bandit masters, Duan Long also joined with the remaining few court masters, ready to defeat the bandit masters in one go.

Although the bandit masters were not afraid of death, they saw that Nie Jia and Zhu Changlong had retreated, so they also had the idea of retreating, resisted a few times, and used their methods to retreat separately, appearing orderly.

"Brother Xun, does it matter?" Li Wuchang was able to stabilize the overall situation, and asked about Zhao Xun's situation.

Zhao Xun shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's okay...... Is the Eighth Rank Master really that powerful? With just one sword, he severely injured me, and my meridians were almost shattered by him. ”

The eight-rank master is no longer an ordinary master, with the strength of Zhao Xun's six-grade peak and the opposite side of the hard fight, it is strange not to suffer a big loss.

Li Wuchang sighed and said, "I just want to say one thing...... The eight-rank master is very strong!"

I remembered Nie Jia's backhand knife yesterday, which made people's blood churn, and his moves were extremely casual, and the degree of power was not comparable to the scar-faced killer I had seen before.

Sure enough, the higher the grade, the more powerful it is.

I don't know what kind of style those nine-rank masters are!

Li Wuchang was a little fascinated for a while.

"I wish Changlong is dead, everyone rush me!" A wild roar interrupted Li Wuchang's thoughts, but it was Wang Taishou who was there.

For a time, the morale of the imperial army was high, and they shouted for killing.

The bandit minions were unstable, retreating while fighting, and gradually showed their decline.

The battle has become more fierce, but the already victorious scales are already tilting towards the side of the court.

On the one hand, the leaders have withdrawn from the army and are unstable, while on the other side, their morale has skyrocketed, and they have become more and more courageous in battle, and the results can be imagined.

Within half an hour, most of the bandits had been killed and wounded, and the rest fled from the east gate in a hurry, and their weapons were thrown to the ground.

And the court side is not much better, more than half of the dead and wounded, the so-called killing of 1,000 enemies and self-loss of 800.

......

Taishou House.

Wang Taishou chuckled lightly and said, "This battle is really dangerous, but fortunately, Duan Guards and Lord Li have turned the tide. ”

The civil unrest has been suppressed, the city has not been lost, and Wang Taishou will have a lot of credit, so he is in a good mood at the moment.

Duan Long sighed: "This victory is indeed extremely dangerous, the victory or defeat is only a millimeter, if their masters are more advanced, the elite battle on the roof may be a different situation, that Nie Jia is really not an ordinary fierce." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, thanks to Lord Li and his people who cleaned up more than a dozen masters in the first few days, he decisively injured Zhu Changlong today, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable." ”

After Li Wuchang's sneak attack was successful, there were only a few masters left in the imperial court, but there were still more than a dozen masters of the bandits, if Zhu Changlong was not injured, it would really be a different situation.

This is evident from the rapid changes in the situation on the battlefield.

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said: "It was the Duan guards who made a decisive decision and started that period of street fighting, killing a lot of bandits, including many masters, killing them by surprise, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to make a move." ”

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "I think that if that Nie Jia had made a move earlier, our losses would have been even heavier, but unfortunately he has been in the shadows until Zhu Changlong was threatened." ”

Duan Long analyzed: "He should be waiting for Lord Li to strike first, it was Lord Li who attacked him yesterday, although he was not injured, but he was jealous...... If I were him, I wouldn't make a move easily, after all, their masters are clearly more than us, who knew that Zhu Changlong was slapped by Brother Zhao and Brother Jiang, so he had to make a move. ”

Everyone nodded, feeling justified.

Li Wuchang shrugged his shoulders and said, "No matter what, I can breathe a sigh of relief when I finally repel the bandits." ”

Then he asked: "By the way, Lord Wang, how are you going to clean up this mess, there is not a single person in the city, and there is a mess everywhere, most of the houses have been destroyed, and the corpses are piled up." ”

The defense was defended, but the city was also destroyed.

The rich businessmen have also fled, and the ordinary people have also fled, leaving only some remnants, and I don't know how long it will take to restore the prosperity of the past, which is a headache to think about.

Wang Taishou smiled bitterly and said, "I also have a headache, why don't you think of an idea for me?"

Li Wuchang scolded with a smile: "If you don't come to this set, I can't figure it out myself, most of the people have fled to the southwest of Feng Yi, and I should have received a lot of people in my second stunned village, and I don't know how to settle it yet...... By the way, it doesn't matter what else matters, you must get me some food, I don't care if the people starve to death, it will all be counted on your head when the time comes, in addition, we have killed a lot of masters just now, you have to make up for me with the silver reward, I am here to earn silver taels this time. ”

Wang Taishou hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, the reward will not be less than you, there is also food, there is still a lot in the official warehouse, I originally wanted to keep the lonely city, who knew that there was a chaotic war." In this way, you send someone to fetch some food over to relieve the people in your area, and count my brother as owing you a favor. ”

Duan Long said with a smile: "This is a great achievement, Lord Li is still short of that bit of silver taels and grain?" I will report to Xue Tingshi, and Xue Tingshi will give you a few good words ......casually."

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said: "Don't, I have any credit, I just sent a few people to make a brute force, I was originally here to make money, if there is a little credit, it will be counted on the head of Lord Wang." ”

After a pause, he continued: "That's it, I'll go back first, and send someone to pull the grain later, Lord Wang should also pay attention to disposing of those corpses earlier, burn them and sprinkle more lime, don't provoke the plague." ”

Wang Taishou was grateful in his heart, and it was not the first time that Li Wuchang had given credit.

Duan Long said with a smile: "I'm also leaving, first go to see the situation of the rebellion and suppression of the soldiers, and then gather troops to prevent the Tianluo Gang and the Hanshui Gang from attacking again, as for appeasing the people, that's the matter of Lord Wang, although the soldiers are all hanging in the inner library, but everyone knows that the guys in charge of the gang have fled, even if they don't escape, there is no one who is reliable." ”

Everyone calls Duan Long Duan Guard, in fact, he has an official position, and he is a partial general under Xue Tingshi, but he still likes others to call him Duan Guard, if he can choose, he prefers to be a guard by Xue Tingshi's side, and it is too tiring to lead troops to fight alone.

Wang Taishou thought of the aftermath, sighed, and smiled bitterly.

But when he thought about it, he was quite relieved that he had won.

Because Zhao Xun and the others were seriously injured, Li Wuchang stayed in the city for a few days before returning to Erzhuzizhuang, during which he discussed with Wang Taishou about transporting grain.

Zhuangzi was not affected much, he worked as he should, ate as he should, and did business as he should.

The medicinal herbs continue to be collected, and they are processed when they are received.

The game continued to be collected, and a batch of it had been sent to Chang'an, which was received by Zhou Chengwang, and it was really very good to sell, and it was supplied to major restaurants or vegetable markets, making a lot of money and making a very high profit.

Supplies continued to be bought from Northland and Jingzhao, and everything was in order.

The only difference is that there are a lot of people fleeing here, not only in Ertunzi Village, but also in other Zhuangzi nearby.

The nurse and Jiang Minglun's mother took Xiaoru and some women on the Zhuangzi to boil porridge every day to give the fleeing people a way to live, Hu Benlu has sent people to build a temporary shelter, and also sent special people to maintain order, Lu Desheng simply let some young people go to work, which can be regarded as finding a job for them, so everything is quite stable.

After Li Wuchang came back, everyone was very happy.

"Young master, what's going on in the city, I've heard that there are a lot of bandits, and my aunt and I are very worried?" Xiao Ru asked in a chatter.

There were many people in the living room, Hu Benlu and Lu Desheng came to report the problem, the nurse and others were in charge of preparing the meal, and many people came to visit Li Wuchang and others.

The wealthy businessman Shi Ji's family was also there, after they came to Erduzi Village, it was Hu Qianyong who was responsible for the reception, Shi Ji wanted to see the owner of the village at that time, Hu Qianyong told him that the owner of the village took people to the city to suppress bandits, and Shi Ji guessed that it was Li Wuchang who saved their family at that time.

Shi Ji was grateful, and wanted to do something for Erzizhuang, but everything was fine in Zhuangzi, and there was no shortage of food and medicinal materials, so he wanted to take five thousand taels to buy food for the fleeing people, Hu Qianyong did not dare to accept the money, but arranged for Shi Ji's family to temporarily live in the owner's mansion, and other things would wait for the owner to come back.

"It's miserable in the city, but the bandits have repelled it. Li Wuchang answered Xiaoru's question while drinking tea.

As soon as Li Wuchang spoke, Shi Ji's family recognized his voice.

"Lord Li, thank you for saving your life. Shi Ji slammed to the ground.

"Oh, who are you...... I remember you, you're really coming to Erzizhuang, welcome. Only then did Li Wuchang see Shi Ji and remember.

"Old Decay Shiji, I have seen Lord Li, Lord Li is very gracious, and the old family is unforgettable. Shi Ji said respectfully.

"It turned out to be Uncle Shi, hello, I was originally going to suppress bandits, and it was just easy to save your family, you don't have to be so polite, don't stand, sit." Li Wuchang said with a smile.

Shi Ji sat down carefully, his wife and a pair of children also looked at Li Wuchang curiously, they didn't expect Li Wuchang to be so young and very easy-going.

"I remember that Uncle Shi is going to Jingzhao County, right? Now that Feng Yicheng's bandits have been repulsed, should Uncle Shi consider going back...... Alas, don't go back, go directly to Jingzhao, Feng Yicheng is in a mess, the house is burned, the streets are full of corpses, the smell of blood is overwhelming, there are no people, it is equivalent to an empty city. Li Wuchang continued.

"The old man has thought about it, let's live in Zhuangzi for a while, I don't know what the lord wants?" Shi Ji asked cautiously.

He hasn't repaid Li Wuchang for saving his life, and he doesn't want to leave for the time being.

"Okay, it's okay to stay, I'm very welcome, but this countryside is not as prosperous as the city, and there is a lack of materials, so Uncle Shi doesn't bother it. Li Wuchang said casually.

"No, no, it's good here, thank you Lord Li. Shi Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
