When Lu Shi and others drove their horses to the south of the city, they saw the huge plain outside Mizhi City. It was really a sea of ​​people shouting and neighing, and the chaos was like a sea of ​​people.

After people received the food, they cooked over bonfires in the wilderness. A few tents were built in the wilderness. From time to time, there were rounds of drinking, punching, and loud laughter and cursing in the tents. I guess it was from the leaders of various poles.

Downstairs. Most of the minions were in groups in the west and in the east, waiting around piles of bonfires to wait for the food to be cooked.

The blazing bonfire stretched endlessly to the sky, which was spectacular. The whole camp was buzzing with people, and the noise reached to the sky. From time to time, among the crowds of people, there were skinny children running around, and from time to time, there were

There was the pitiful cry of a woman who had lost her child.

There were no patrols in the entire military camp, no hidden village, only chaos. In fact, the Mizhi defenders also wanted to defend the exhausted enemy. Otherwise, as long as they had a little enterprising spirit, they would send out a group of brave soldiers to sneak attack the enemy camp.

, will definitely achieve unexpected good results.

In fact, it’s not to blame for these pole todas who came from all over the country. They were originally composed of refugees. They had no training in military discipline at all, and no experience in camping outside. They just robbed and slept wherever they went. Now you are called

It is difficult for them to camp in an orderly manner like an army.

Furthermore, this time everyone believed that with their current strength, against the army's formation, their side could capture Mizhi with just one charge.

There are gorgeous houses in the county, soft bedding, mountains of food, and all kinds of things you can't even imagine, so why bother patrolling and setting up camp? Everyone just needs to make do for a while, eat and drink enough,

You can go into town and enjoy these things in the afternoon.

Looking at the villagers in the city, they all looked at the sea of ​​people below with expressionless faces. The noisy voices and the bonfires stretching to the horizon gave people a sense of boundless oppression, which made their nerves almost collapse.

broken.

Now, those who signed Ding Junhan all have the piety to pray to God and heaven, praying to the enemies outside not to steal the city now. How can they have the courage to steal camps and rob strongholds?

When Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing saw this situation, they both smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Lu Shi secretly said: "Are these the rebels of the vigorous peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty? Just such a group of refugees overthrew the three-hundred-year-old Ming Dynasty.

Jiangshan? Now it seems that it is not that the peasant uprising army is too strong, but that the Ming Dynasty has become extremely corrupt."

Bu Zhan Mu's residence was arranged in the yard of a small landowner. The original owner had already taken his small possessions and hid in the county town. So Bu Zhan Mu occupied the magpie's nest and became the temporary owner of the yard.

.

The courtyard has two entrances, with a circle of stone walls, a fairly tall gatehouse, and two small stone lions in front of the door. The carvings are not majestic at all, but have too much naivety, which is different from the previous ones.

The sight of the bloodthirsty soldiers standing in front of him with murderous intent was quite out of place.

Under the courtyard wall, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Each of the carefully selected soldiers in the non-stick mountain stronghold, with swords and guns in their hands, are fully on guard against all the people coming and going.

The three-room nave above has now become a mud-free alliance hall. A tiger-skin chair is placed in the middle. The plaque that originally hung "Farming and Reading Heirloom" on the main hall is discarded on the ground and replaced with "Replacement".

"Heaven walks the way".

Along both sides of the hall are a row of chairs, which are prepared for the poles of the various villages that have come to join the alliance. So far, thirteen families have come one after another for this alliance. It can also be said that there are so many talents and extraordinary momentum.

.

These thirteen poles ranged from big to small. The big ones had three to four thousand, seven to eight thousand, and the small ones only had a few hundred people. However, various people gathered together and made up their own team to about fifty thousand.

.

But now these people, no matter how big or small, have their own agendas. Some of them really want to join forces and seize rice and food for the winter. Some of them are just looking for an advantage. But just look at the troops that those people brought with them.

, they are all old, weak, women and children, and they are not equipped with weapons and weapons. They have not brought any food, grass or luggage. They are simply here to feed Lu Shi, a wealthy family.

Twelve gang leaders and their lieutenants were already crowded together in the room, fighting enthusiastically for the rich meat and wine in front of them. They were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, shouting, laughing, and cursing with strangers who did not know each other while eating and drinking.

Two of them actually wanted to use a knife if they disagreed with each other, but Bu Zhanni quickly used his senior status to subdue them, and a bloodbath was avoided.

Bu Zhanni specially slaughtered an ox, a few fat sheep and a fat pig this time to prepare a banquet for these allies. At this time, people who were already blushing and thick-necked from drinking kept raising their wine bowls and talking to them.

Instead of making a toast, I just symbolically raised the wine bowl in front of me to deal with it, and then smiled and persuaded everyone to eat and drink well. The whole room still looked a bit like a White Tiger Festival Hall, more like a casino restaurant.

When Lu Shi came in, he couldn't help but frown. The war was about to begin, but these people were here eating and drinking, thinking that the rice fat was already in their pockets. Don't they know that high cities and deep trenches are so easy to conquer? It means not to make progress.

Such a person.

Seeing Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing coming together, Bu Zhanni hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand, walked forward with a mouth full of alcohol, took Lu Shi's hand and said with a big smile: "Come on, sir, you are late, this banquet is...

It's almost finished." He lowered his head and looked at the dirt on Lu Shi's white robe, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What? Sir, is there something wrong?"

Lu Shi saluted quickly, and then said with a smile: "Nothing happened. I just set up camp and moved some soil. It doesn't matter." The non-sticking mud man looked around and suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone in the room followed suit.

Laughed.

Lu Shi just answered with a smile, but Guo Tianxing was already holding the hilt of the sword and glaring at him. Making fun of his husband was even more intolerable than making fun of himself. For a while, he even resumed his knight-errant habits and prepared to find someone to duel with.

Seeing this, Bu Zhanni hurriedly shouted, "Let's not talk about the war starting this afternoon, and Mi Zhi coming down in one fell swoop. Putting this aside, you are a scribe, how can you do what the people of Liba are doing? If you can do it with human hands,

It's really not enough, just let me know. I have tens of thousands of idle men here, so why do I need you, a scholar, to do it yourself?" Seeing what Lu Shi wanted to say, he quickly stopped and said: "Okay, now sit down and have a drink.

, let’s discuss the battle in the afternoon.”

When Guo Tianxing saw that everyone no longer made fun of his husband, he slowly let go of his hands, then angrily found a seat and sat down.

Lu Shi greeted everyone with a smile and sat next to Guo Tianxing. Seeing that everyone was eating and drinking in a noisy manner again, he hurriedly stood up and saluted Bu Zhanni and said: "Alliance leader, in the art of war, soldiers are valuable and quick. Come to think of it."

Everyone has almost rested, should the leader of the alliance give orders now to start the siege?"

Lu Shi was anxious. There were still a group of brothers in the city who needed help. A moment's delay would be a moment of danger. Although he knew that the rice fat could not be thrown away in one go, but if it continued to be involved like this, there would be nothing to do today after everyone had finished drinking.

.

After a wine burp, he seemed to have just remembered the business, so he put down the wine bowl, sat upright and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say."

With this shout, all those people put down their wine bowls and turned their heads to wait for the leader to speak.

"What Mr. Sir said is absolutely true. As the saying goes, a soldier must be swift to attack an enemy unprepared. Now, according to the agreement, we have waited for the reply from Mizhi's gang of officials. It seems that the several conditions I proposed are nonsense in the eyes of those officials.

One sentence." Everyone burst out laughing, and then some people grabbed their wine bowls and started eating and drinking.

Bu Zhanni changed the subject and said solemnly: "Well, since the official has treated our request as nonsense, then we will get the rest ourselves."

"That's right, that old official doesn't know how to appreciate it, so we'll take it from him." Then everyone cheered together.

Bu Zhanni slammed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground and said in a stern voice: "Everyone, stop eating. Hurry up and distribute the troops according to the original arrangement and organize the troops to attack the city. I ask everyone to do their best and not to do anything to preserve their strength."

, otherwise, the knives of our brothers who supervise the battle will be merciless."

When all the leaders saw that the leader of the alliance was angry, they did not dare to eat, drink or make any noise anymore. They all stood up together and loudly shouted: "Respect the leader's order." Without waiting for Bu Zhanni to say anything, they ran out of the house with a bang, leaving nothing on the ground.

of mess.

Bu Zhanni came to Lu Shi again, took Lu Shi's hand and said: "Now that the war is going on, I have to borrow a lot of help from you, sir. I can't say that you will have to work harder than the master of Tianxing. Sir, you will follow me in the Chinese army."

, let’s take command and dispatch from the center.”

After hearing this, Lu Shiwen, although he was unwilling in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had no choice but to agree and promised not to get involved in the mud.

Naguo Tianxing took a step forward and said in a hurry: "Sir——"

Lu Shi saw that Tianxing's eyes were full of worries for him, and he couldn't help but be moved by warmth. He grabbed Tianxing's warm big hand and said: "Master, just go. I am far away from the bows and artillery fire among thousands of troops."

Besides, I don’t have any worries about safety. The master will go back and command his troops to attack according to the methods I mentioned. The better the attack there, the better chance I will have to break the city here."

Crossing Tianxing, he looked at Lu Shi and then at Bu Zhan Ni. Na Bu Zhan Ni was also moved by his brother's feelings. He stepped forward and said, "Brother, please go away. Sir, I will keep even half a hair without harm."

What's the matter? Then brother, I'll give you the entire village in return."

Having said this, Guo Tianxing felt reluctant to give up but could not say anything more, so he carefully warned Zhu Tie, the guard, for a while before striding away.

Lu Shi looked at the stars in the sky that were getting further and further away, and suddenly stopped: "Brother——"

Upon hearing this, Guo Tianxing suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Shi closely.

Lu Shi opened his mouth, but only said two words: "Take care."

Guo Tianxing also looked back at Lu Shi for a long time, cupped his hands and replied: "Take care" and then strode away.

At this moment, a sudden burst of war drums rumbled outside the hospital, shaking the sky and the earth. Lu Shi took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
