The cold light of the sword's bang flashed across Zhao Xiaopin's face, frightening Zhao Xiaopin's legs to the point where he almost knelt down.

"I thought I was a hero, but I turned out to be a coward!" A sharp look flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and the blade followed.

"Stop!" Lin Ju shouted to Lin Yi, "Kill him or not, keeping him may be of some use. Military advisor, what is the origin of Liang Chuan? When did a murderer appear in He Lu?"

The lame Dafeishan leader's eyes were full of evil and viciousness: "There was a tiger-fighting hero in Xinghua earlier. It is said that he was also a member of the He Lu family. It should be Liang Chuan who cannot be mistaken."

"Is it possible that the spotted tiger in the forest earlier was captured and killed by this guy?" The forest residents were shocked. They thought they were the best heroes in the forest, but a group of people also wanted to take that tiger. He had no choice but to trap and capture him. Later he heard that he was killed by a villager down the mountain. At that time, he didn't quite believe it. Now he can only lament how he met this god of death.

"If we don't kill this beast, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to achieve great things!" The lame military plane said with eyes filled with resentment.

Lin Ju and Lin Yi were extremely confident after the first battle. They thought that all the way to Quanzhou Prefecture, the common people would hear the news and come down to watch the wind. Not to mention carrying pots of rice and food, they should at least be able to wave flags and shout. Who could Unexpectedly, the entrance to the village was not even opened, and people were blocked in this ravine, unable to move!

Lin Ju often felt restless whenever he thought of Liang Chuan's two axes. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhao Xiaopin on the ground. After thinking about it, an idea flashed in his mind. He picked up Zhao Xiaopin, glared at Zhao Xiaopin with two eyes as big as copper bells, and shouted: "Boy, I'll spare your life today. Go back and tell Liang Chuan, if it's a man, let's not die in vain." The lives of the villagers, let’s fight one on one, otherwise even if I die, the mountain people will continue to rebel, and more people will die by then!”

Zhao Xiaopin was ecstatic in his heart. Hey, there is such a good thing. The moment he was tied up on the mountain, he thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, these mountain people wanted to let him go: "When?"

Lin Ju paused and said: "On the twenty-ninth of this month, tell him again. If I see officers and soldiers ambushing in the village, I will kill their vanguard first, and then lead people straight to Xinghua. Why? If I don’t fight, I will wipe out Xinghua!”

After Zhao Xiaopin was released, he ran very fast without looking back. Fortunately, he didn't know where to go down the mountain. If he took this road, he would definitely fall into a trap and die. He could only go around the main road and go up and down the mountain via Xia Yuan.

After all the hardships, Zhao Xiaopin returned to Helu and told Liang Chuan the news of the duel. When Liang Chuan heard the news for the first time, he knew there must be something wrong with it, and discussed it again with Li Chuyi. Even Li Chuyi I can't believe their lies. Liang Chuan's current fighting prowess is simply shocking. What fool would be so unthinkable about a duel with Liang Chuan.

But it was a miracle that Zhao Xiaopin came back alive. Normally, shouldn't he be killed with a knife to relieve his hatred? In a duel on the 29th, damn Liang Chuan wished these scumbags would attack Xinghua quickly. Now he would have to pay an extra pension for every extra person who died. Even if everyone in Xinghua died, he would follow him. It doesn't matter, he is not the county magistrate. Besides, they threatened to kill the pioneer officer, could it be Zuo Qiuhong? This boy was arrogant and arrogant. It turned out that he was captured by them, but this boy should have died long ago.

Liang Chuan asked Zhao Xiaopin to make one more trip, run back to Xinghua City, and tell Cao Qiansong exactly what happened. He hoped that Master Cao could arrange reinforcements at that time, ambush around He Lu, and kill all these people in one fell swoop. Great achievement.

Cao Qiansong watched his performance coldly. This guy delivered real information last time. Who knows if the situation this time is true? Send people to Helu to ambush, what if the mountain people take advantage of this opportunity to attack Xinghua? Why haven't the reinforcements from the arrogant court come yet? Once he has enough manpower, it will be a piece of cake for him to ambush him any way he wants. Now that he has neither soldiers nor food at hand, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

All the officials in Xinghua City held the same opinion. Song Guangdou thought with his feet and knew that this must be a trick of the mountain people. The purpose was to lure the tiger away from the mountain and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack Xinghua County. To put it bluntly, it was rare for them to have such a unanimous opinion. In fact, they were afraid of death. .

As Liang Chuan expected, on September 29, none of the officers and soldiers from Xinghua showed up. Liang Chuan and Li Chuyi discussed how to deal with these mountain people. Li Chuyi had been on the battlefield for a long time and smelled a slightly different smell.

"What good will the mountain people do if they fight you alone?"

Liang Chuan tilted his head and thought for a long time before he said calmly: "Probably the only advantage is to hold me back."

"Yes, I can't think of any reason for them to come to you to die. To be honest, I didn't want to fight you with two axes before I cut off my hand. It's just looking for death."

"Then what's their purpose of holding me back?"

"There must be a plan for everything. Besides, they were defeated by us twice before, and their morale has hit rock bottom. They will definitely want to find a way to restore their morale, or take revenge."

"You mean they don't want to fight one on one, but they want to take advantage of several of our villages, right?"

"I guess it's not just our villages, but even Xinghua County. Logically speaking, even Xinghua County has little value. To him, the most valuable place is Qingyuan County, Quanzhou Prefecture, which is densely populated, rich and Remoteness is the best base camp. Taking Quanzhou Prefecture is equivalent to a prince, but Xinghua is stuck in the middle. If the government cuts off their retreat, Quanzhou Prefecture cannot be captured, and the old nest behind them cannot be returned. All they can do is jump into the river."

Liang Chuan looked at Li Chuyi with disbelief written on his face, making Li Chuyi feel uncomfortable all over. Li Chuyi asked coldly: "What, is there something on my face?"

"Tsk tsk, Lao Li, I always thought that you had well-developed limbs and a relatively simple mind. I didn't expect that your brain is so good. Are you really just a soldier in the army? It's not like that. No matter how talented you are in culture and martial arts, You can still hold an official position even if you are not good at it, have you offended people with your mouth?" Liang Chuan kept talking, completely unaware that Li Chuyi's murderous aura was getting stronger and stronger.

"They can't break your military formation, and they will never fight us head-on. No matter what the enemy does, we just need to stand still."

"I see."

After the battle in the trap outside the village, all the dead bodies were moved out, and the trap was covered with a layer of floating soil. As long as you don't have a distribution map, you still can't find this thing. When I return to this place, I can only remember that there seems to be a trap here, but I can't be sure. Hesitation on the battlefield means death, but if you don't hesitate, you will fall into the trap.

Liang Chuan did not want to take the initiative this time, nor did he want to fight with the mountain people. He ordered each group to guard their respective villages, and all the villagers gathered in safe places. He strictly ordered each group to never pursue them no matter what tricks the mountain people used to lure the enemy. , they can only be killed when they escape the trap and enter the village to wreak havoc.

The Adult Management Brigade lost two teams of good young men in the last battle. The three squadrons could only be reorganized, breaking up the teams with insufficient numbers and assigning the team members to other teams. Now there is no shortage of equipment, only manpower. Even one loss is not a small loss for Liang Chuan.

The mountain people came down the mountain.

From a distance, there were only a few people. Liang Chuan immediately rushed to the entrance of the village after receiving the report from the sentry post. This time the mountain people seemed quite 'sincere', and they looked like they were really here for a one-on-one challenge.

Liang Chuan sneered in his heart. No one else was brought here. It was obvious that the focus of the troops was on other places. This made him believe Li Chuyi's analysis that the troops must be divided to attack other places.

"Send the order and ask Fugui and Jinshan to guard their respective villages. No reinforcements can come without my order. I'm worried that the mountain people may not attack He Lu and go to attack their two villages."

The two leaders of the mountain people came and did not see the lame man. Lin Ju walked out of the formation first. He knew there was a trap at the entrance of the village, so he didn't get too close. When he was still some distance away, he stopped and shouted from the air: "I heard that there is a tiger fighting hero Liang Chuan in Helu. He is a hero who has not been born in recent years. We are all poor people who were forced to have no other way out by the government. We are neighbors with only a strip of water. Since you are blocking my way, let us not waste our countrymen and our people and come out to fight to the death. Others It all depends on God’s will!”

Liang Chuan called He Dali: "When you go out with my ax, don't talk, let alone fight with him. If you really want to fight, run back immediately and remember the location of the trap on the ground."

He Dali nodded and took the ax from Liang Chuan. He saw that Liang Chuan was holding the ax easily and thought it was not heavy. Unexpectedly, his hand sank and it almost hit his instep.

"Can you carry it?"

"You can hold it, but you can't swing it a few times." He Dali said embarrassedly, his face a little hot.

"Remember what I said, be careful of cold arrows later." Liang Chuan added another sentence.

He Dali looks naive and honest, but he is very powerful. Not many people are familiar with Liang Chuan's appearance, and most people recognize him by his axe.

Lin Ju held a simple knife in his hand and shouted at "Liang Chuan" who came out. He first scolded Liang Chuan, saying that Liang Chuan and Chaoting helped the emperor to commit evil, and they were forced by the tax collectors to fall into the trap. Righteousness and strictness of speech. But no matter how hard he tried to reason and move his emotions, 'Liang Chuan' on the opposite side remained silent and stared at him with two big axes in hand.

Liang Chuan sneered, do you think you are Situ Wang Lang of the Great Wei Dynasty, and you want to take me in with just one mouth? Liang Chuan took out the crossbow that Li Chengfu had 'lent' to him, and after quietly touching a small mountain of earth, he looked at the forest residents who were still shooting towards Liang Chuan on the mountain road, and raised his sights to look at the mountain, which was three or four days away. Ten meters, Liang Chuan thought, I’ll give you a big gift!

Liang Chuan didn't have many crossbow arrows on hand, so he usually took back the arrows he shot after training. He set up an arrow, pointed it at Lin Ju and pulled the trigger hard. The sharp arrow shot through the air, chasing Lin Ju in the middle of the clearing.

Lin Ju said that he wanted to challenge Liang Chuan in a duel, but Liang Chuan could kill a tiger with his bare hands, and the two axes were very intimidating, so today he still used his mouth to talk. Lin Ju didn't expect that the real Liang Chuan would actually launch a sneak attack! The crossbow arrow pierced Lin Ju's chest with a whoosh! Lin Ju's long-term activities in the mountains and forests have honed his sharp eyes. When he noticed something was wrong from the corner of his eyes, he immediately turned over and rolled to the side. The crossbow arrow missed him!

"You dishonest villain! How dare you stab someone in the back!" Lin Juliang had a better temper than Lin Yi, but at this time he was also angry, and he was still making excuses. In front of so many of his younger brothers, this Where should I put my face? Lin Ju was so angry that he screamed and took the fake Liangchuan straight with a simple knife.
