Ma Ming, with one hundred of his men, soon appeared in front of the other party's government servants who were exploring the way.
As soon as they saw hundreds of guys with swords and guns coming to kill them, all the government officials immediately turned around and ran away.
Just kidding, I am a government servant, making money... ahem, catching thieves, not fighting.
Ma Ming understood Luo Zhiyuan's intention and asked his men to form a scattered formation, howling and screaming. Those who knew they were regular troops, but those who didn't knew thought they were bandits.
The yamen servants in Changshen County are not vegetarians. Each one is faster than the other.
Ma Ming led his men to pursue them all the way until they saw Tan Zhensong's large army and only killed a few of them.
Seeing thousands of local soldiers and warriors, Ma Ming and the others turned around and ran away as if they had seen a ghost, faster than a rabbit.
That's it?
Tan Zhensong looked at the ragtag group of people fleeing in embarrassment, the light in his eyes flickering.
Can this bunch of losers kill eight scouts from Chang Shen Camp silently?
Who are you trying to trick? You want to seduce me, and you want to blind your heart and lungs!
Ma Ming was very depressed.
You've already run so far, why doesn't the other party chase you?
Listening to Brother Chao talking about the Three Kingdoms, every time he pretends to be defeated, the opponent will foolishly chase after him.
Why is reality different from the story?
When Luo Zhiyuan heard the scout's report, his nose almost became crooked.
This Ma Ming actually added a role to the show. This performance must have been ruined. You pretended to be so over the top, only a ghost would believe it!
However, Luo Zhiyuan did not blame Ma Ming. This boy did not violate military orders, but was just inexperienced and over-pretending.
"Go and inform Ma Ming. If the other party doesn't chase him, he shouldn't run away. Keep consuming him with him to see who can outstrip the other!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Ma Ming immediately began to reflect.
It seemed that he had over-acted before, and that was why he aroused the other party's suspicion.
Hey, I still have to watch more theaters in the future, so I can’t make the same mistake again.
When he thought of going to the theater, Ma Ming's melancholy heart couldn't help but get ready to move.
I heard that Brother Chao has asked Zhang Sihai to form a publicity team. Many of them are girls who have worked in Goulan Washi before. The performance will definitely be exciting...
Ma Ming used distraction methods to finally calm down his mind.
It was my first time to lead an army alone, so I was really nervous.
While Ma Ming was redeploying, Tan Zhensong was also struggling.
Although he guessed that Ma Ming might be using a trick, there was still no way to solve the problem at hand.
When the opponent runs away, should I chase him or not?
Don't chase me. Why do so many people stop here all the time?
Go after it, but you’re afraid of being fooled.
Straight bitch, how many people are there on the other side?
The main reason why Tan Zhensong was hesitant was that he lacked information and was unable to make a correct judgment.
We don't even know who is occupying the iron mine, let alone how many people there are, or what their combat effectiveness is.
It's not that Tan Zhensong is an idiot, he doesn't even know how to send people to get information. The main reason is that the people he sent into Chiyan Mountain have disappeared.
Why Tan Zhensong brought so many people at once was because he couldn't find out what was going on in the mountains and could only hope to win by quantity.
There are only about a hundred people on the other side now. If he retreats, it will seriously affect the morale of his men, and it will also damage his reputation.
The ancients valued reputation far beyond what later generations could imagine.
Regardless of whether it's a good name or a bad name, it can't be the name of a loser.
Once someone thinks you are a loser, countless prostitutes will pounce on you, everyone wants a piece of the pie.
A good man can't stop four hands, and a good tiger can't stop a pack of wolves. No matter how awesome you are, there are many people who want to bite your flesh, but you still can't withstand it!
"Inspector Liu, take your five hundred local soldiers and warriors to explore the way forward. If you encounter those thieves just now, kill them directly and don't chase them!"
Inspection Liu did not dare to neglect, so he agreed and walked forward with dozens of local soldiers and more than 400 local warriors.
…
Hearing that the other side had divided its forces, Luo Zhiyuan immediately issued an order for Ma Ming to retreat and move closer to the main force.
Less than a mile away from the main force, Luo Zhiyuan asked Ma Ming to stop and set up his position to block the enemy.
Inspector Liu was a little numb.
Looking at the hundreds of soldiers waiting in formation from a distance, he really didn't want to go there.
This time Ma Ming took a crossbow. Although there were not many, only a dozen, it was enough to scare Inspector Liu away.
Of course, Inspector Liu also had archers, but he didn't want to go all out.
He is just a small patrolman, and it is good to eat and drink. The man named Tan is not his son, so why do you risk yourself for him?
So Inspector Liu stopped moving.
They neither attacked nor turned around and retreated.
…
Tan Zhensong waited for a long time, but he neither received Liu's report nor heard the shouting of killing in the distance.
What's going on? Just like the eight scouts who disappeared before, the five hundred people patrolled by Liu are also missing?
"hiss……"
Lieutenant Tanxian took a deep breath. If the other party could disappear even 500 people without a sound, and he could even seize a piece of iron ore with bird feathers, he should quickly wash his neck and wait for others to pick off his head!
"Go and use the method you just used to see how Inspector Liu is doing!"
Dozens of government officials gritted their teeth and once again separated the team, slowly exploring the way forward.
In this operation, the officials were much slower.
There were several companions lying on the road, and no one had even collected their bodies so far. I didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
After being frightened for a long time, I went to the front and saw that the noses of the government officials were almost flat and crooked.
Inspector Liu and his men were glaring at each other from afar.
As long as you open your mouth and curse a few times, we can be mentally prepared and not be so scared!
It's useless for you to stare at each other, but can you still stare each other to death?
After receiving the news from the yamen servant, Tan Zhensong was no longer so angry that his nose was crooked, but he almost didn't explode his lungs.
"Send my order to Inspector Liu and kill him within a cup of tea, or else come and see him!"
Inspector Liu cried immediately after receiving the order.
The real mud horse named Tan is nothing. If I had known better, I wouldn't have messed with him. How nice it would be to follow the county magistrate!
"Brothers, Lieutenant Tan County ordered us to kill each other immediately, or we will take off your heads. Do you hear me clearly?"
Inspection Liu is full of bad ideas. Let me explain first, this is the order of Tan County Lieutenant. I am not asking you to die. If there are casualties, you can ask for compensation from Tan County Lieutenant. You have nothing to do with me, Old Liu. relation!
The Xiangyong of Changshen County is not the Xiangyong under Yun Chao. Not only does he have no wages, he even prepares his own meals for the past few days.
Let them fight against enemies with strong bows and crossbows, and only fools will charge forward.
Inspector Liu shouted for a long time, but not one of the villagers took a step forward. Even if he asked the local soldiers to drive them away, the villagers would sway left and right, and even draw circles on the spot, as if they were suffering from the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis. No one is moving forward!
