The next morning, the sun was getting taller and the bandits began to divide their troops in chaos. Xiangdong went to the county town, and the stayed occupied the camp again and surrounded Qili Village again.

Although the leader named Qiao Saner knew that his two personal soldiers were missing, he was not surprised. Maybe he went out to eat wild food, or maybe he left by satisfaction with the treatment, so there was nothing wrong with it.

But what else is more comfortable than being a thief now? There are food, drinks and women. They will be back in a few days. As for that woman, she has already returned to the family line and dare not tell others what she saw last night.

"Let the brothers be ready!" "Shi Qian" ordered proudly: "Use those two long ladders to find a place to build the trenches and the wall of sheep and horses, so that Yang Datou and pork Cai will lead people to attack on the front! Let's go and sneak attack!"

His men replied carefully: "But, brother, the long ladder has been taken away by Master Qiao and the others."

"What?!" "Shi Qian" was furious and shouted: "Why don't you report me?!"

"I'm here to report to you." The subordinate said in a low voice: "Master Qiao San said they were going to attack the county town, and it wouldn't be possible without a ladder. And he said he had already told you, so we dare not stop him."

"Shi Qian" looked west and could still see the team heading towards the county town, but he could not take the long ladder back. He had to angrily order: "What are you doing when you stand there?! Go cut down trees and make a ladder! Hurry!"

He finally got the ladder more than three meters long from "one dragon" to break the Qili Village in one fell swoop and avenge his previous revenge. However, without giving a word, he asked those guys to take it away.

"Shi Qian" found Yang Datou and Zhu Rou Cai and said politely: "Brother Yang, Brother Cai, how can I distribute personnel to attack later?"

"Old rule! Whoever scores in, the things will belong to!" Yang Datou said with a smile.

Pork Cai also nodded and said, "Yes, this rule is good!"

"Then I won't argue with you. Although the little lady inside is a sign, the two brothers also know that I don't want to have this brother. Hehe," said 'Shi Qian'.

Yang Datou and Zhu Rou Cai smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you brothers Shi Qian to fulfill your wish." In fact, what I thought to myself was: "That job is not good, so naturally I will not be able to eat this, hahaha!"

Qili Village, on the wall of sheep and horses.

Li Mou looked at the remaining thieves and divided some people and went to both sides of the official road to cut down trees. He said, "They are going to start making ladders."

Li Yan said relaxedly: "The trees on the roadside are only five meters high. If you use logs as a ladder directly, your weight will be too high, and you may fall apart when you build them. We just need to be careful of the entrance and exit."

"There should be carpenters in their team, right?" Li Zhong asked a question.

Li Yan smiled and said, "That's the same. All we need is time. When their carpenters make the ladder, we'll burn them all to ashes long ago!"

"Oh, they are going to start attacking." Li Zhong reminded.

Li Yan ordered: "Second brother, take these three people along the trench and don't be exploited by the thieves. Maybe they still have some equipment hidden. If they can't handle it, they will blow the horn. If it's more dangerous, they will beat the gong and ask the others in the village to help."

"Don't worry, you guys go." Li Zhong nodded and said.

Li Yan and Li Mou arrived at the entrance of the wall, and the soldiers were ready at this time. Although there was no armor in the village, Li Yan sent them a thick cotton coat, and there were underwear made of silk, which was easy to deal with if they were hit by an arrow. They also asked them to wrap a thick layer of cotton cloth on their heads, which could also protect their heads. Although the temperature has risen now, it is better to sweat a little than to be injured and die, so the soldiers did not complain.

"Go out and make an array!" Li Yan ordered.

Two crossbowmen opened the door. Large shields on all sides went first, each shield was five feet square and three inches thick, with raw cowhide on the surface, and there was no problem with defending arrows.

Behind were two rows of spearmen, sixteen, and behind were two rows of crossbowmen and eighteen. Now, only Li Yan's team were holding bows and arrows, and the others were replaced with crossbows.

The team arranged an array at the entrance, blocking the gap of two feet tightly. On both sides of the formation were trenches that were one meter deep and three feet wide, and the bandits could only attack from the front.

"Spewman! Sit!" Zhao Datong gave the order, and the two rows of spearmen praised and made neatly on the ground, with a spear of more than seven feet pointed at the sky.

It is not the time for the spearmen to perform, so let them sit down first, maintain their strength, and give the crossbowman behind them the shooting range.

The bandits were divided into two teams left and right to attack, each team had fifty or sixty people. The reason for them was that they came from two different teams, Yang Datou and Zhurucai, and no one was willing to take the lead for someone who was not his brother, so they had to divide into two teams left and right.

"Shi Qian" was quite moral, and told Yang Datou and Zhuo Cai about the situation of Qili Village. So they lined up a row of shield hands in their teams, holding three-foot-high shields and slowly advancing forward. The others hid behind the shields, fearing that they would reveal their bodies and become the target of the other party's crossbow arrows.

The bandits were still more than 60 steps away from Li Yan's military formation. Suddenly, a dozen people in the back row stopped. They held their bows and arrows and began to shoot feather arrows at Li Yan's military formation.

When Li Mou saw the thief treaching bow and arrow, he immediately ordered: "Long spear, shake!"

When the spearmen heard the order, they began to shake their spears left and right. The feather arrows came over and basically hit the spears, changing direction and losing strength. Even if they were stuck on them, most of them did not penetrate the thick cotton coats. Other feather arrows were either nailed to the shield in front or landed behind the military formation.

After hearing Li Mou's orders first, Li Yan stepped onto the wall of sheep and horses, quickly shot arrows, and shot one feather arrow after another into the thief's archer. He shot very quickly, and his right hand was almost like a windmill, constantly drawing arrows from the arrow bag at his waist, and then shot out at a very fast speed.

While giving the order, Li Mou also jumped onto the wall of sheep and horses like Li Yan and counterattacked the archers in the back row of the thieves. They must be fast enough and shoot accurately. If they give the thieves a few more chances to shoot volleys, their military formation might not have such good luck.
