Dressed as Tang Bohu

"The advance troop of 30 people sneaked into the cottage to investigate, and the remaining 100 troops were divided into five groups to eliminate the five small-scale bandits detected on the [-]th. According to the plan, they gradually surrounded the cottage and launched a general attack after joining forces."

Tang Ziwei drew a line on the map that went straight to the village, and then drew five circles around the same location.

"Remember that the suppression is false, and the attack on the stronghold is real! It doesn't matter if the small-scale bandits let go, as long as the biggest strongholds are dealt with, they can help us spread the news, making the bandits far and near fearful. Don’t dare to come to Nanchang easily to make trouble.”

When the leaders of the two guards heard this, they all looked surprised, and lowered their heads in response, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Tang Ziwei waved his hands and let the two go down to prepare.He also went back to his room and put on a chain mail under his clothes, led the horse and followed the guards slowly, and headed out of the city together.

Of the 130 guards dispatched to suppress bandits this time, 30 of them came from the guards of King Ning, and [-] of them were soldiers trained in the government office.The mighty formation filed out of the city, and spread out outside the city gate as planned.

Tang Ziwei did not go with the guards, so he got off his horse at the city gate, climbed up the city wall with Shi Shi and Heisha, and looked at the route of the guards.

Under the city wall, in an unnoticed corner, a man dressed as a merchant turned and left in a low-key and quick manner, mounted his horse from another city gate, and galloped away.

A quarter of an hour later, the galloping horses stopped in front of the wooden gate of the cottage, and the merchant-like man pulled off the hat on his head, raised his head and met the bandits behind the low wall.

The nimble bandit boy quickly came down and opened the gate, and the man led the horse and walked in quickly, and saw Ji Sheng who had been waiting inside for a long time, and a group of bandits behind him who were poking around.

"How's the situation?" Ji Sheng asked.

The bandit looked a little nervous, swallowed and said, "This time they are serious! Those officers and soldiers, I see hundreds of them, all armed with big knives and long-guns, came towards us."

"Hundreds of people? How did Xiangzi say that there were only a few dozen people? You wouldn't exaggerate the number of officers and soldiers out of cowardice, would you?" Someone said suspiciously, which immediately aroused the support of many bandits.

"Anyway, we are going to fight them to the end. If you are afraid, get out! They are just some officers and soldiers who have been pampered in the city all day long. No matter how many people come, I will fight them all back!"

"I'm not afraid!" The bandit dressed as a merchant blushed and waved his fists.

"Calm down." Ji Sheng picked out his ears, walked over impatiently and gave him a slap.

Seeing the person in front of him froze in place with a shocked expression, Ji Sheng smiled again, and gently stroked the bandit's flushed side face with his palm, and said, "Sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a while. It hurts." ?"

"No, it doesn't hurt." The bandit shook his head dully.

"That's good." Out of the corner of Ji Sheng's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the village master coming from the house with a serious face, waved at him with a smile, walked to the side of the wooden railing and sat down, saying:

"It seems that the government intends to adopt a strategy of dividing the troops and let some people come to investigate our bottom first. As for the large army, whether it is planning to wipe out the rest of the scattered bandits, or to ambush us all, as long as we are not captured, In the end, they will all gather together to deal with us, and I hope everyone understands this in their hearts.”

"There are only fifty brothers in the village. According to Mr., isn't it better to avoid them for the time being?" The owner of the village is a rough and tough man, but he also shows a somewhat courteous attitude towards Shang Jisheng.

Ji Sheng pointed at the bandit dressed as a merchant, and said in a relaxed tone: "He set off from the city at the same time as the officers and soldiers. Even if he drove the horse a minute or two faster, he would never leave enough space for so many people in our village to calm down." The time to retreat. Besides, even if people fled into the mountains, the officers and soldiers would chase them and they would flee in all directions, and there would be no place to gather. I'm afraid..."

"What are you running for? There is no way out, so the brothers will fight with them!" The bandit was upset and couldn't help crying out.

The village owner then looked at Ji Sheng, and saw Ji Sheng picking up a grass in his hand and playing with it: "Fight, of course we have to fight."

"So I played an empty city strategy, opened the gate of the village wide, and captured their vanguard. When they send out a distress signal, the nearby officers and soldiers will come to rescue them. If you are lucky enough and attack fast enough, you may be able to defeat them one by one and win the victory. "

"So, we still have a chance to win?!" The bandits looked at each other and smiled.

The village owner knew that this war would not be won so easily, but he had no better way.In any case, if there is a chance of winning, it is worth fighting for!

"Okay, let's do this! Brothers, get ready!" With a big wave of his hand, the bandits dispersed one after another, notified the news, and immediately made preparations.

Among these people, Ji Sheng, who was dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, also jumped off the wooden railing and walked leisurely towards the gate.

The village owner noticed his movements and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

Ji Sheng paused, turned around and said with a smile on his face: "I am a scholar, which is different from your martial arts. I can't help you with the next thing, so I will take my leave first."

The village master glanced at his small body, nodded and said, "I'll let Xiangzi ride you to the city on horseback."

"That would be the best, thank you Wally Master." Ji Sheng cupped his hands in thanks.

The bandit named Xiangzi quickly brought a horse over, helped Ji Sheng onto the horse's back, and stepped on it himself.

The horse trotted away with the two of them, Ji Sheng looked back at the cottage and smiled softly.Under Xiangzi's puzzled eyes, the laughter gradually increased until he couldn't breathe.

"Hahahaha...!!" These bandits, these bandits!

"Are you okay?" Xiangzi looked at Ji Sheng anxiously and asked.

"It's okay." Ji Sheng put away his smiling face in an instant, and rubbed his stomach that was sore from laughing.

The bandit brother behind him didn't know that other bandits might be able to escape, but those in the stronghold couldn't escape no matter what.Even if the chance of defeating the officers and soldiers is so small this time, it will only usher in a more brutal encirclement and suppression.

So at least give him an interesting fight at the end!

……

The sweeping operation came to an end, Tang Ziwei, Shiyi, and Heisha came from the city gate on horseback.

The leader of King Ning's guards kicked a bearded man to the ground cursingly. Seeing Tang Ziwei jump off his horse, he rushed up to him and said, "Master Tang, this side has been dealt with cleanly. There are 54 people in total, except for three. Except for one dead, the rest were captured alive."

"What about the casualties on our side?"

"Twelve of the guards died." The face of the leader of the guards was a little ugly.

The officers and soldiers of the yamen also gathered, and the leader of the team was covered in blood, but he was not as embarrassed as the guards. "We have a few seriously injured here, and no one died."

"What's going on?" Tang Ziwei frowned and looked at the leader of the guard.

According to his thinking, it would be easier for officers and soldiers wearing a full set of soft armor to face this kind of bandit. However, with 200 people in a shopping battle and no heat weapons, the number of their own side is still more than double that of the opponent's, so the damage should be fine. Just ignore it.

"It was my people who acted rashly and were captured. When we launched a general attack, those bandits..."

Tang Zi was silent and didn't want to listen anymore, he waved his hands and turned his eyes to the captured bandits.

He glanced over and didn't find the young man who looked like a scholar he had seen that day, so he knelt down in front of a bandit and asked, "Is there a scholar in your cottage? Why haven't you seen him?"

The bandit was taken aback, but forced himself to remain calm and kept silent.

Seeing him like this, Tang Ziwei suddenly had a bottom line in his heart.Heisha on the side didn't need him to say much, he smiled and pulled out the short arrow from his waist, and waved it in front of the bandit.

"Did you see the thorn on it? It's only the size of a chopstick inserted into the meat. If you pull it out forcefully, this half of your arm will be torn off." Heisha looked at the bandit's face and said, "You Don't try to be brave, sir, I already knew that the scholar was from your village—”

"You know, why are you still asking me?!" The bandit couldn't help interrupting him, with an angry look on his face, very annoyed at his teasing.

"It seems to be true." Heisha's eyes lit up.

"You don't need to say that." Tang Ziwei glanced at him, ignoring the bandit's annoyed look, and asked directly, "What's the name of that scholar, and where did he go? Tell me, and I'll let you go. "

"I don't know." The bandit said.

Heisha's eyes were fierce, and the short arrow with a cold light in his hand was pressed against the bandit's neck.

The bandit broke out in a layer of sweat and panicked, "I really don't know! He has known the village owner for more than half a year, and he always makes up the minds of important matters in the daily life. Everyone in our village calls him Mr. Today is the same, the plan of the battle was given by the master, if he is not here, he probably has already retreated, and you will not be able to catch him."

"Oh?" Hearing what he said, Tang Ziwei seemed interested.He took out a piece of origami paper from his lapel, unfolded it, put it in front of the bandit, and asked, "Then look at these three names, do they look familiar?"

The bandit looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with a bitter face: "I can't read!"

"Sun Xu, Ji Sheng, Liu Chao." Tang Ziwei called out their names one by one, "Two scholars and one Juren, have you heard of their names?"

The bandit didn't answer, but the other one beside him said hesitantly: "I heard the village owner call him Mr. Ji, maybe... that's him."

Tang Ziwei narrowed his eyes, and pierced his sharp eyes straight at the bandit who spoke suddenly, only to see his face turned pale and couldn't help shrinking his neck, and then he suddenly smiled, "Very well, I hope you didn't lie to me. "

"No, no!...Will you let me go?"

"When I find him, you can leave."

Tang Ziwei got up and walked to his horse, took a look at the getting dark sky, and got on the horse. "If I were him, at least tonight, I'd be in town."

"Shall we catch him now?" Heisha asked.

"Well, Eleven stays in charge of taking these bandits back to the government office, and those who hurt the prince will be handed over to the prince." Tang Ziwei left Eleven where he was, and turned to greet Heisha: " Blackie, come up."

Heisha grinned, pulled Tang Ziwei's outstretched hand, flew lightly on his horse, and landed behind Tang Ziwei.

Don't look at his kung fu, riding a horse... It's really difficult.
