On a short soil slope, two riders stood side by side.

"Lord Qianshi, withdraw. This group of bandits is too hard to bite. We have nearly 200 casualties. If this continues, the soldiers will be defeated." A Qianhu wearing a green bear robe said bitterly. Open your face.

Huang Qianshi, who was on the horse next to him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Zheng, don't be anxious. With the soldiers of your two families holding down the formation from behind, those soldiers can charge again. According to my observation, the archers of the bandits are Our strength is already insufficient, if we work harder and take down this gang of bandits, you and I might be able to change the colors of our official uniforms."

"Damn it!" Zheng Qianhu gritted his teeth and ordered the people around him: "Tell the people under your command to press forward again and don't follow them around like you haven't eaten."

The soldiers on the side ran to the front to convey the order.

Huang Qianshi added: "The main force of this bandit is surrounded by the commander and his men. We brothers have no chance to eat the bulk. We can't throw away the leftovers."

"Go to hell with the leftovers." Zheng Qianhu cursed, "What happened when we ambush the main force of the bandits? They collapsed at the first touch. Those bandits ran around like headless flies when they encountered the officers and soldiers, and plunged into the commander-in-chief. In the encirclement that has been set up, but look at these so-called leftovers, hundreds of people dare to form a formation to confront us."

"Don't worry!" Huang Qianshi reassured, "A group of bandits know how to form a formation. If we just charge again, we will definitely win."

"Back off, back off, the archers of the bandits are back." A soldier ran over to report the news.

"I've got eyes." Zheng Qianhu scolded, "Go and tell the people below that if they can't take down this group of bandits without their archers, don't blame me for serving them with military law when they get back."

The soldier said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Qianhu, our brothers will definitely take them down since the other side has no archers."

Zheng Qianhu waved the hand holding the riding crop impatiently, "Get out, get out, get out, take what I said quickly."

The soldier ran quickly to deliver the message.

Huang Qianshi on the side sighed: "It's a pity that our archers are all staying with the commander, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered so much and killed so many people in vain."

Zheng Qianhu's face darkened and he said: "You damn boy are farting here, all of my people will die. You turtle ball brought more than fifty personal soldiers."

Huang Qianshi said with a smile: "It is not necessarily a bad thing to kill a few soldiers."

Zheng Qianhu said solemnly: "Do you mean it's a good thing if my people die?"

"It depends on how you say this." Huang Qianshi said, "The dead report to the court and receive a pension. There is no need to recruit more soldiers later, and they can also receive an extra military pay every month. Is this true? Isn’t that a good thing?”

"What you say makes sense." Zheng Qianhu stroked the beard on his face, "Tell our people to attack quickly and don't worry about casualties. As long as this group of bandits is wiped out, your benefits will be indispensable."

A messenger next to him ran down.

"Failed, defeated, defeated!"

"What I said is right! As long as we rush again, we will..." Huang Qian was mid-sentence, his throat seemed to be strangled, and the next words were blocked directly.

"How the hell could he lose!" Zheng Qianhu slapped his thigh hard.

Several soldiers dressed as soldiers fled toward Tupo on horseback.

"This, how is this possible!" Huang Qianshi was stunned.

"What the hell is impossible, just run the hell away! By the time the bandits drive the soldiers back, it will be too late to run away." Zheng Qianhu pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, leaving the servants behind. Protect and escape.

"Sir, let's run away too!" A soldier beside Huang Qianshi said anxiously.

Huang Qianshi looked at the soldiers who were rolling back. Several soldiers who were originally at the back of the team retreated a little slower, and were caught in the middle by the soldiers. They could not advance or retreat, so they had to swing their swords to slash at those in front. soldiers.

The soldier on the side urged again: "Sir, don't hesitate, make a decision quickly, it's really too late."

"We are defeated, we are defeated just like that." Huang Qianshi glanced at the reins and said, "Retreat and return to the commander."

Dozens of soldiers protected Huang Qianshi and chased him in the direction where Zheng Qianhu left.

………………

"Damn it, we won like this." Chen Xunping still didn't believe what he was seeing.

Many soldiers abandoned their weapons and flags and fled all over the mountains and plains. The ditches on both sides of the official road alone were crowded with soldiers who wanted to escape.

Chen Xunping said to himself: "They all say that the soldiers in the guard station are useless, but this damn one is too useless."

Liu Heng came over and patted Chen Xunping on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be in a daze here, clean up the battlefield quickly, we don't have time to waste here."

Several teams of refugee recruits separated from the spear phalanx and went to pick up usable weapons and cotton armor from the surrounding areas. When they encountered soldiers who were not dead, they easily solved the pain of the other party.

The remaining half of the spear squad continued to form a formation, with archers guarding the two wings so that more troops could be added at any time.

"How come Shi Dashi is surrounded by such a group of soldiers? Even if he works hard, he won't be trapped inside and unable to get out." Zhao Yutu looked at the messy official road and whispered to himself.

After Yang Yuan heard what he said, he said disdainfully: "Shi Yunhu is worthy of being compared with our boss. Can Shi Yunhu train the refugees in ten days? Can he get food from Zhengjiazhuang without hurting anyone? He If we can’t do it, we are the only ones who can do it.”

"He, can he?" Zhao Yutu asked himself following Yang Yuan's words.

"Let me tell you, Shi Yunhu can't do it." Yang Yuan said, "Although he is the leader of the entire camp, in terms of ability, he is far behind our leader."

Zhao Yutu raised his head and glanced at the defeated troops all over the mountains and plains, bit his lip, and suddenly said: "I want to see Liu Heng, take me to see Liu Heng."

Yang Yuan's face sank and he said: "Zhao Yutu, you have to understand your identity. Now you are not a master, but a prisoner of our master."

Zhao Yutu grabbed one of Yang Yuan's arms and said eagerly: "Take me to Mr. Liu quickly. I have something important to tell him."

"Let go, I'll take you there." Yang Yuan shook off Zhao Yutu's hands and asked someone to escort Zhao Yutu to see Liu Heng.

When Zhao Yutu came over, Liu Heng was directing the new refugee soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"Master Liu, I have something important to discuss with you. Can you ask the people around you to step aside first?" Zhao Yutu looked at Chen Xunping and Yang Yuan who were standing next to Liu Heng.

Liu Heng said: "They are all my brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to backtrack."

"This..." After hesitating, Zhao Yutu gritted his teeth and said, "Master Liu, I see that you are more capable than Shi Yunhu. You defeated thousands of officials with just a few hundred people..."

Liu Heng raised his hand and interrupted Zhao Yutu's words, "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush here."

"Then I'll tell you straight." Zhao Yutu said, "Do you want to be an official? We will be an official in the Ming Dynasty."

"I don't want to." Liu Heng refused without thinking.

Chen Xunping and Yang Yuan looked at Liu Heng in astonishment, and even Zhao Yutu had a look of astonishment on his face when he asked this question.
