Chapter 124: Can You?

Lu Yao roared repeatedly: "Release the order arrow, release the order arrow!" He couldn't care so much, first call the ambush troops to top up. Two order arrows went to the sky, one red and one green, which was particularly eye-catching in the night sky.

Wu Shaoyi laughed: "Want to call reinforcements? Hahaha, General Pei greeted you!"

Lu Yao was shocked.

Among the three generals who met in County Magistrate Village, Pei Xinyong was the most calm and steady one. If it weren't for his single-minded promotion of the meeting, Lu Yao and Wu Shaoyi would not see each other, the worst was to fight to death when they met, and the best was to never see each other.

How could Pei Xinyong completely lean towards Wu Shaoyi in half a night? This doesn't make sense! Or, these two had long discussed and teamed up to deal with him? If this is the case, then the nine hundred people he brought into the mountain are not too many, but too few!

Wu and Pei coalition army, has two thousand six or seven hundred people.

Lu Yao broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and said urgently: "I just wanted to stabilize the dog official, waiting for you to come up and sacrifice the flag together. He is going to Xiazhou to serve as the general manager, we take his documents and official seals, and we can be at ease in Xiazhou, no longer hiding from the government! I can take a blood oath with my ancestors, and the benefits will be shared equally from now on, absolutely no evil intentions!"

Wu Shaoyi laughed: "Kneel down and capture without a fight, to show sincerity. After we take down the dog official, naturally we will be fair to you!"

Lu Yao was furious: "Bah, don't push an inch!"

He had endured again and again, when had he ever suffered this kind of bird anger, and Wu still didn't know what was good! His eyes turned, and he shouted again: "Little ones, go to the lake to untie the boat!"

The two groups of thieves fought, and the government troops immediately retreated, fearing to be burned.

Fortunately, Wu Shaoyi bit him hard as soon as he saw Lu Yao, and was too lazy to give a glance to the government troops. Obviously in his opinion, the internal thief is ten times more hateful than the external enemy.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with the government troops retreating without fighting.

He also gave the order of "killing Lu thief," so his subordinates also caught Lu's army and fought one-on-one, and didn't chase the government troops too much.

He Chunhua had long ordered everyone to wait in full battle array, and now it was not dawn, all the carriages, luggage were bundled, some had never been untied, some were reinforced and repaired overnight, even the household items Lady Ying had just used were packed back into the box and tied firmly to the big carriage.

Even the horses were fed with grass and clear water, had enough strength, and were harnessed to the big carriage.

The battle in the village started, and He Chunhua decisively ordered: "Retreat to the west!"

More than four hundred people set off with carriages and horses, heading for the mountain road in the west of the village.

The government troops naturally wouldn't deliberately make noise, but the villagers had ears and eyes that weren't dead, and as soon as they saw them ready to set off, they immediately gathered and cried: "Official lord, take us!"

He Chunhua was prepared for this, and all the government troops pointed forward: "Follow us to retreat, everyone arranged in front and back, each row cannot exceed three!"

"Can ride horses, cannot use carriages!"

Although repeated, some villagers still threw all their belongings on the carriage, pulled the carriage with horses and cattle and walked west, but were stopped by the government troops, and the two sides had conflicts, and then physical conflicts.

He Yue, Zeng Feixiong and others were busy, He Lingchuan had to step forward and say: "Abandon the carriage and go on the road, otherwise stay with the carriage, don't stand here and block the way!"

These carriages and ox carts were not small, but the mountain road was narrow, and at most two carriages could drive side by side. They blocked like this, and the official carriage also had to go, so the civilians couldn't squeeze in.

The car owner was angry: "The official family can go, why can't we!"

"That is, all the belongings are on the carriage, do you want us to drink northwest wind when we go out?"

The two sides pushed and shoved again.

He Lingchuan raised his hand, pulled the man at the front off the carriage, and mentioned him in front of him: "Government troops can break the rear, can you? Whoever can pick up weapons to break the rear, whoever's carriage can pass!"

He asked the person in his hand sharply: "Can you?"

This person was stunned, his neck seemed to be stiff, he didn't dare to nod, and didn't want to shake his head.

Everyone is a good citizen, what qualifications do they have to fight with murderous bandits? Don't forget that the bandits killed a hundred villagers in public before, and there were many strong village guards among them! By the way, these are not ordinary bandits, but rebel remnants who have fought with government troops for many years, attacked cities and plundered land, and killed people like hemp! People have rich combat experience, what do they use to fight?

"Those who can't fight, get off the horse and walk! Those who can fight, family members get on the carriage, and stay behind!"

He Lingchuan shouted like this, plus someone behind was screaming "Bandits are coming" while squeezing forward, the civilians on the carriage didn't dare to argue anymore, got off the carriage and ran forward.

At this time, if you don't run, when the bandits catch up, you will be blocking the knife for those who run fast.

The government troops pushed the villagers' carriages to one side, leaving a passage for civilians to run. This way half the road walked people, half the road walked carriages,

It was still orderly.

At this time, He Lingchuan also saw the bandits rushing to the village west to smash doors and enter houses.

He couldn't tell whether these people were Wu or Lu's subordinates, anyway, looting is their specialty. Especially Wu Shaoyi's subordinates saw that their side had far more people than the other side, so winning was a matter of time, so some people started to have crooked ideas, wanting to loot early.

Looting, the key is to be fast, slow is none.

Yesterday evening, Lu Yao killed and occupied the village first, and hadn't had time to wash and loot, and the government troops arrived later. In order not to reveal the stuffing, the Lu bandits didn't rummage through boxes and cabinets, thinking about looting after defeating the government troops, so the villagers' belongings and livestock that couldn't be taken away in a hurry were still at home.

Everyone saw this scene on the mountain, not angry but happy.

The bandits were busy looting, so they could fight for precious time to retreat.

However, heaven does not follow people's wishes, and there are still more and more bandits eyeing the mountain road in the west.

A part of this is following Lu Yao's orders, wanting to take down He Chunhua, but another half is being ambushed by Wu Shaoyi's subordinates, having to retreat while fighting—

Some retreated to the east, but some retreated to the west, just overlapping with the retreat path of government troops and civilians.

Zeng Feixiong and others ran back and forth to command, which was very inconvenient.

But no one made any demands on He Lingchuan, even Lady Ying said to him earlier: "Go to the front and help your father."

The front of the team is the safest. After seeing the lowest-fortune sticks given by the Water Spirit, no one blamed him.

He Lingchuan looked at Zeng Feixiong's back and clenched his fists secretly.

The Water Spirit's prophecy lingered in his heart. If his great disaster really happened tonight, he shouldn't be brave in this life-and-death moment.

But what if it isn't? Next time, next time, should he shrink back again? If the great disaster comes in ten years, should he shrink back for ten years first? Hiding behind others is easy, but are you sure the butcher knife won't eventually be raised to your head?
