"Master of the Third Village, open the door quickly. The brothers sent by the Master of the Dazhai to rescue have been ambushed by the Longtan Village and are fighting fiercely with the Longtan Village. Please lead people to the rescue quickly!"
The surrendered soldier limped outside the village gate and shouted.
The leader of the third village watched the surrendered soldiers carefully for a long time and shouted: "Fifth son, it's not that I don't want to save people, but my brother ordered me to guard the stronghold. If I go out to fight and lose, the stronghold will be gone!"
The surrendered soldiers shouted: "You can't just ignore death!"
The leader of the third village said angrily: "I can't control that much. I won't open the door unless my brother and the military advisor come in person!"
The surrendering troops were so anxious that they kept trying to persuade them, but the leader of the three villages just refused to agree.
At this moment, only the sound of killing was heard in the distance, and a group of bandits from Qingyi Village fled toward the village gate. From a further distance, the sound of horse hooves continued to be heard.
"Save people quickly, the cavalry from Longtan Village are coming to kill you!" said the soldier.
When the leader of the third village saw that all his family members had arrived at the door, he had to save him. Besides, the pursuers from Longtan Village were still far away, so he hurriedly shouted: "Open the gate of the village and let the brothers in. Hurry up! The people from Longtan Village are coming soon."
!"
The people below responded and opened the village door, and the group of "Qingyi Village bandits" immediately ran in.
At this time, the cavalry from Longtan Village could be seen in the distance, about a hundred people in total.
Qingyi Village is different from Longtan Village in that the mountain roads are not steep, so the gate of the village has been repaired every year. It is more than two feet high and is as solid as gold.
As long as the gate of the village is closed, it will be difficult for others to attack.
Seeing that the Longtan Village cavalry were getting closer and closer, the leader of the third village hurriedly shouted: "Close the gate quickly, close the gate quickly!"
However, the gate of the village was still open. The leader of the third village was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to go down to see the situation, he heard bursts of shouts of killing coming from below.
A bandit ran up the wall of the village and shouted: "Master of the third village, it's bad, those people who were let in are spies of Longtan Village, and they are preventing the brothers from closing the door!"
The leader of the third village was stunned and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and a strong force hit him. He fell to the ground with an arrow stuck in his neck.
As soon as the leader died, the bandits in Qingyi Village were in chaos. The refugees abandoned the gate and fled in all directions. Seeing that the situation was over, many bandits also abandoned the gate and fled to the top of the mountain, escaping through the back mountain path.
When Qin Lingjun and Zhang Yangquan came over with a hundred cavalry, there were only less than fifty bandits left at the door, fighting with the mountain pigs and others pretending to be bandits in Qingyi Village!
In less than a cup of tea, all the bandits who resisted were killed, and Qingyi Village fell into our own hands.
Everyone knows that time is running out and Zhang Mingjian will soon lead his men to kill him, so they must act quickly.
Another collection operation started at the gate of the village. In order to defend the village, the three village masters of Qingyi Village distributed all the weapons in stock in the armory to the bandits guarding the village.
Most of these bandits were refugees. They were defeated after a battle. They were afraid that they could not run fast enough and threw their weapons on the ground. The weapons collected at the gate of the stronghold alone included three to four hundred knives and guns.
In addition, there were more than 50 heavy bows and more than 500 arrows, but there was no time to use them, so they all changed their owners.
Qin Lingsi led a team of troops and followed the surrendered wounded soldiers to collect money from the inner treasury of Qingyi Village, while the others collected weapons at the gate of the village.
Almost everyone had one or two new things on their waists and backs. Li Er killed a black bow and replaced it with the hard bow in his hand. He also saw a good knife, inserted diagonally at his waist.
Qin Lingjun came to Zhang Yangquan with a round shield, handed it to him, and said: "Take it, be careful if someone shoots you with a cold arrow!"
The moonlight shines slantingly, and there is a smile on her pretty face.
Zhang Yangquan took the round shield and said with a smile: "We have to hurry up, don't let Zhang Mingjian get in the way!"
Qin Lingjun smiled and said: "They only have a hundred horses, so they won't come quickly at all, so don't worry."
At this time, Qin Lingsi ran down with people and shouted from a distance: "Haha, sister, military advisor, that bastard Zhang Mingjian has accumulated more than fifty kilograms of gold. We are prosperous this time!"
Sixteen taels per catty, more than 50 jins, at least more than 800 taels of gold, which was more than what King Zhennan had originally rewarded. Everyone was overjoyed.
"How much money is there?" Qin Lingjun asked.
Qin Lingsi carried a big bag on her back and ran over quickly. She curled her lips and said, "I only have less than a hundred taels of silver. I heard from the surrender soldiers that Zhang Mingjian loves gold so much that after every robbery, he put away the silver and treasure notes."
Change it to gold!"
Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "This is not the place to talk. Everyone, please retreat quickly and talk again after returning to the village!"
Qin Lingsi said hurriedly: "Military advisor, I heard from the prisoners that there are more than a thousand stones of grain in the grain warehouse of Qingyi Village. Do you want to take some away?"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "No."
"Which one was burned?"
Zhang Yangquan looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed: "He won't starve to death even if he burns the food. Don't be greedy, just leave quickly!"
Half an hour later, Zhang Mingjian led a large force back to the village.
Seeing the open village gate and the corpses on the ground, Zhang Mingjian's face began to twist. Under the moonlight, the scars on his face seemed to be about to burst out of the skin and choose the person to eat.
The bandits rushed into the stockade. Not long after, Zhang Zhaolong came out with a face ashen as death, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, brother... all the gold in the village... has been taken away... and there are no weapons."
Already..."
"Where's the food?" Zhang Mingjian squeezed out a voice from his throat.
"The food is still there, but they didn't do too much after all!"
"Fart!" Zhang Mingjian raised his hand and waved a horsewhip: "I worked hard for three years, but that stinky bitch robbed me!"
Zhao Ping frowned and said: "The stronghold is so strong, how did they break through it in such a short time?"
Zhang Zhaolong covered his cheeks and whispered: "They put on our green clothes, pretended to be one of their own, tricked them into opening the gate, and then broke into the village!"
Zhao Ping glanced at Zhang Mingjian and sighed: "What an amazing Longtan Village!"
Zhang Mingjian stared at him coldly: "General Zhao, I want to attack Longtan Village immediately. Will you go with me?"
Zhao Ping remained silent. If Qingyi Village's food was also robbed, he would have no choice but to attack Longtan Village together with Zhang Mingjian in order to survive.
Now that the food is still there, there is still a way out.
For him, the most important thing is to force Polo to send troops back to help Gaoyou's Red Scarf Army win!
"Master Zhang, calm down for now! Your gold can't escape. When we capture Jiangdu, we will help you destroy Longtan Village and take back the gold!"
Zhang Mingjian said coldly: "So you are not willing to help?"
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "Master Zhang, the terrain of Longtan Village is so dangerous that it is not easy to fight. By the time we defeat it, Gaoyou will have already finished the battle!"
Zhang Mingjian raised his head and said nothing. After a long while, he sighed: "You are right. It is impossible to conquer Longtan Village in a short time. Zhaolong, let someone take out all the good wine and meat from the storehouse, and let everyone eat and drink."
Dun, we will continue to siege the city tomorrow!"
Zhao Ping patted Zhang Mingjian on the shoulder and said with great joy: "This is a hero, he can take it up and let it go! I promise you, I will help you capture Longtan Village and take revenge!"
Half an hour later, in the lobby, the senior executives of Qingyi Village and the Red Scarf Army gathered together, drinking and chatting with each other. After this incident, the relationship seemed to be better.
"Why don't the military advisors drink?" Zhao Ping asked doubtfully.
"Heaven's warning, I never drink alcohol." Zhang Zhaolong apologized.
Zhang Mingjian waved his hand and said: "Don't pay attention to him, let's just drink!"
Except for Zhang Zhaolong, everyone drank, and even the people outside the hall drank enthusiastically.
Halfway through the drinking session, Zhao Ping suddenly felt dizzy. When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw many people fainting, including people from Qingyi Village and his own people.
