The next morning, Yang Shoujie in the city finally knew that there were thieves outside the city. He didn't care where he was attacked, and sent all his subordinates to the city wall first and guard the county town first.

At this time, the thieves in the village were ready to leave. They just killed a few rebellious farmers, but no one moved, no one else was able to do anything, but they snatched away the farmers' food and livestock. These farmers had no choice but to join the thieves, while the rest had to make a living.

The thieves were not interested in the county town with city walls to protect them. They continued to sweep outside the county town, intending to grab some things and leave.

Although Yang Shoujian's own farm in the east of the city, he did not plan to go out for rescue. His men knew that if they fought with bandits outside the city, it would be very likely that they would collapse without fighting. The county owed them three months of salary, but his men really owed half a year. In the old rules of the officialdom, how could they do it without taking any oil?

After the bandits arrived, the tenants in Yang Shoutian's farm tied up the manager and four servants of the farm and opened the door to welcome the bandits. These tenants had long been fed up with Yang Shoutian's exploitation, so they all joined the bandits' team and strongly demanded to attack the county town.

But the leader of the bandit was very awake and did not attack the county town. Instead, he continued to walk around the city and walked around the west side of the city.

"Oh, this place is better than the east side. This area is full of farmlands that are cultivated by people." The big boss, 'Meng Zhang Fei', said with a smile: "Which land is this? It must be that the family's family's wealth is not bad."

The newly joined tenant replied: "There are wooden stakes surrounding Mr. Li's land, the one close to the river in the south is the Prince Zhou's Mansion, and the one in the north is the Prince's Mansion."

"Mr. Li? What's the origin? How great is the official?" "Zhang Fei" asked with interest. At this time, he had already changed into a horse and was taken from Yang Shoujie's farm.

The tenant replied: "Mr. Li is a village soldier. He is good at others and has raised many people. These places were abandoned, and they were planted by Mr. Li and sent people to escape. We would not have the chance to escape, otherwise we would have come here long ago."

"So that's it. I didn't expect there were good people among the officials." "Zhang Fei" said with a smile.

"Mr. Su County is not bad, he is just a little more timid." The tenant said again.

"Brother, there is a village in front of you!" As he was talking, a subordinate came to report: "There are earthen enclosures and trenches, and the people inside are already prepared."

'Zhang Fei' immediately ordered: "Prepare, let's go and build this village, get the things, and we'll go back. Look at these lands, they are all well grown, and there must be a lot of things inside. Brothers, everyone is going to the village, with wine and meat!"

"Don't fight," the tenant immediately reminded: "This village belongs to Mr. Li. Mr. Li's soldiers are very powerful. He has defeated several thieves. The boss should not take risks."

"So what if it's amazing?" "Zhang Fei" said disdainfully: "He is still better than 'Gao Chuangzi'? It's just a village soldier."

The tenant said carefully: "Then we will not participate in the attack on the village. Please allow the leader."

"Meng Zhang Fei" waved his hand and said, "I didn't think about relying on you. You can go and wait behind us. When we take down the village, we can get some weapons for you. Follow me, "Meng Zhang Fei", so that people can't be shabby."

The newly joined tenants left the team and retreated to the back more than 100 steps away from the team, and were far away with the wounded. These two wounded soldiers were injured when attacking the farm of Huang Zhuan.

At this time, Li Yan and his soldiers were ready. They knew that there were thieves coming last night, but there was no interest from Li Yan in the east, so they did not move, but just strengthened their vigilance. Unexpectedly, the thieves did not attack the county town, but came to the west, and did not know what these not many thieves wanted to do.

There are 100 soldiers here in Qili Village. Li Mou brought more than 100 soldiers to Duzhuang, and brought a lot of crossbows and arrows, so there should be no problem in defense.

"Call them! Let them open the door and surrender!" The 'Zhang Fei' ordered: "Let them hand over a hundred stones of food, we will leave immediately. If we don't hand over it, we will be rude!"

The loud thief came forward and shouted. Taking advantage of this time, the second brother began to let the team line up to directly attack the gate of Qilizhai. They did not have a long ladder, so they could only attack the gate of the gate.

Li Yan looked at the bandits who were gradually forming a formation and frowned and said, "These guys should be old bandits. Or they were the officials who surrendered to them. Let the brothers prepare for it, and there will be a bad battle!"

Hearing the thief's call, Li Yan ordered: "Open the door and go out to form the array!"

The gate of Qili Village slowly opened and the soldiers slowly left the city. After leaving the wall, they quickly arranged a formation. The first row were soldiers holding large shields, two rows of long spearmen behind, and five rows of crossbowmen behind. Each crossbowmen brought a round shield. They put the round shield on their left arm and quickly formed a formation. Their crossbow strings were already ready, and they could fire as long as they were placed on crossbow arrows.

"Meng Zhang Fei" frowned and looked at the soldiers in Qili Village, a little surprised. Because the soldiers were arraying too fast, he was preparing to arrange the array first, but when he was still chaoticly placing the formation, the village soldiers who came out to arrange the array later had already formed a neat square array.

"Okay?" 'Zhang Fei' asked unhappily.

His men accelerated the array speed and finally formed a square array, but the row surface was crooked. The first three rows were also swords and shields, and the back three rows were spearmen. There were no unified weapons in the back three rows, including waist knives, long swords, crossbow arrows, etc. And at the end there were a row of archers.

There are more people in "Zhang Fei", so the square arrays arranged are much larger than Li Yan's. The two square arrays of large and small seem to have a greater chance of winning, but Li Yan never thought that he would lose, and "Zhang Fei" didn't seem to think that he would win easily.

So the two square formations were quietly confronting each other. Apart from the two sides at a distance of eighty steps, the white air formed by the breathing of soldiers in the queue spread throughout the team, as if the square formation was in an illusion.
