In front of Tiefo Village in Tashan, ten miles northwest of Mi County.
Lin Fangping stepped forward, took out the fire certificate and lit a cigarette for Zhang Cheng, and said with a smile: "Tiger, you really don't know what to buy. Our handsome Yunzhou cigarette is a special supply and cannot be bought outside!"
"Hehe, I just don't like this exciting thing." Su Laohu handed Mo Rigen another Beizhaguan cigarette with a naive smile.
The crowd was chattering in the clouds and fog, not taking Li Ji's encounter with the bandits seriously in Tiefo Village at all.
Wang Tieren took a long puff of Yunzhou cigarette with a look of enjoyment on his face. After the smoke was completely exhaled, he asked Zhang Cheng for instructions: "Commander, do you want us to rush him first?"
Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, each department will take turns to be on guard. Let's all rest for a while and slow down our strength. Now that the thief is in the urn, he can't escape!"
The knights of the pro-military department, the boy camp, the ranger department, and the Mongolian cavalry department all have one person and two horses, and there are part-time fire soldiers in each armor. They are responsible for making meals during the march.
Even when fighting like today, he would carry a small iron pot on his auxiliary horse. Now he took it down, made firewood, and poured the water in the water bag.
Add large pieces of bacon to the boiling hot water, and the aroma of meat spreads in all directions with the wind. Nearly a thousand of their knights surrounded Tiefo Village, and the aroma of meat always floated into the village, and some people could be faintly seen climbing quietly. Climbing up the wall of the village and looking outside.

"Brother, go ahead. I will lead the people to clear the way and protect you and fight out!" Ji Zhiying said loudly next to Li Jiyu.
Li Jiyu also looked up at him with a tired look on his face, and said softly: "We have never seen those officers and soldiers outside before. I wonder if it is the border troops transferred by the imperial court who are so powerful. "
"What happened to the border soldier? His head fell off, and there is a scar as big as a bowl. We will still be a man after eighteen years."
Regarding Ji Zhiying's heroic words, Li Jiyu did not comment. The look in his eyes was extremely complicated. After a long time, he said: "These brothers respect me as the leader of all. How can we not think about all the brothers."
Ji Zhiying scanned the surroundings with her eyes. There were nearly 300 horse thieves and horse thieves who fled into Tiefo Village with them. However, only less than a hundred foot thieves escaped, while there were nearly 400 hungry people.
"well……"
He sighed and said: "This group of officers and soldiers is so powerful. We have tens of thousands of troops and we can't stop his mother's attack. I don't know what happened to Dazhong and Jingbang."
"The officers and soldiers are coming from the north. Yu Dazhong will definitely be in trouble this time!"
Li Jiyu stood up as he spoke, and saw all the brothers staggering around, exhausted, and said: "Today, from morning to noon, I originally wanted to capture Mi City and give the brothers a good meal." Yes, who would have thought..."
"Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. If we dare to rebel, we are not afraid of death. The worst we can do is to go out and fight with the thieves. If we kill one, we will be enough, and if we kill two, we will earn one!" Ji Zhiying looked unwilling. Said angrily.
At this time, someone with a sharp nose said: "Meat...it smells like meat..."
The thieves were lying or sitting on the ground lazily. After hearing his words, they all sniffled. Even if they have been thieves for the bandits, they only have a full meal when they perform well. On weekdays, At most, he would just starve to death.
After all, the food in the bandit's house was not brought by the strong wind, nor could it be kept in a hurry.
As for meat and wine, they are even more scarce. They are rewards that can only be obtained when performing meritorious services. The thieves in Tiefo Village can hardly remember the last time they ate meat.
Today, after getting up in the morning, we started to prepare for the siege. From morning to noon, we attacked the city continuously. When the city was broken, all the thieves seemed to go crazy. They could finally have a full meal, and the big boss promised not to stop. The thieves, horse thieves, and the hungry people who came to the city first were already drunk and devoured.
"Damn the thieves and the army, I will fight with you!"
A scrawny thief clutched the worn-out waist knife in his hand and rushed towards the village gate as he spoke.
"stop!"
A loud shout made all the thieves tremble in shock.
The thief who was like a bamboo pole and was running towards the village gate suddenly knelt on the ground and started to cry bitterly. It didn't matter that he was alone like this.
But the thieves and bandits around him were hungry, tired, mentally and physically haggard, and there was no trace of life or hope in their eyes. They couldn't help but shed tears of grief after being seduced by him, and many of them even tightened their grip on the swords, guns and clubs in their hands.
Li Jiyu strode to the center and said loudly: "Brothers, since the Jianshan uprising, we have been in every possible way, and he even captured the city of Dengfeng.
Li Jiyu originally wanted to lead the big guys to break out in the world, marry a group of popular, spicy, and beautiful women at home, and never be angry with those bird officials again. "
He said these words in one breath, then stopped, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, and walked back and forth in front of the bandits. Suddenly, he stopped in front of Ji Zhiying and said loudly: "The officers and soldiers outside are... Everyone knows what it looks like, and now there are thousands of people.
At the foot of the Mi County city, nearly ten thousand brothers and I were unable to stop the charge of hundreds of soldiers from this group of officers and soldiers, and were chased all the way here. Going out now is tantamount to seeking death. Brothers, I would like to live with Li Jiyu. We will die together, so why not!
But what is the purpose of our uprising in Jianshan?
Do we really want to rebel against the imperial court and become emperor ourselves?
Wasn’t it caused by droughts and locust plagues, and was forced by corrupt officials with bad consciences? Isn’t it because they wanted to starve to death? How could they survive together? "
There was silence all around. Many people were filled with indignation just now and wanted to rush out and die with the officers and soldiers, but after hearing Li Jiyu's words, they all fell silent.
I heard Li Jiyu raise his voice and continue: "Today, even if there is a glimmer of hope to survive when we rush out, we will lead the big guys to do it, but it will be in vain to die. It is stupid to hand over this big-headed melon seed to be chopped by others." It's okay, Li Jiyu won't bring the big guys with us."
He continued: "However, no matter how powerful the officers and soldiers outside the village are, if we kill thousands of people and fight hard, we can kill a few of his descendants, but we, Li Jyu, can't bear to die together with them all.
Today, it is Li Jiyu who repays everyone's trust in me. In order not to let everyone recommend me to be the boss in vain, I have to risk my own life and this thing I am carrying on my shoulders. Even if you don’t need seven and a half kilograms, you can protect the big guy for once! "
"Plop..."
"Plop...Plop..."
All the thieves knelt down, with tears in their eyes, even the hungry people who had been driven to attack Mi County. They knelt on the ground and shouted to themselves: "Big Boss... Big Boss... Don’t… don’t…”
Ji Zhiying even stepped forward and grabbed Li Jiyu: "Brother, why are you talking about these things that don't exist? We just go out and fight!"
"hey-hey……"
Li Jiyu smiled miserably and asked, "Can you pass the fight?"
He turned to look at the gate of the village and said, "Do you know that the nearly a thousand powerful officers and soldiers outside are still not attacking?"
