The mule battalion lined up in the mountains, observing from a high position the peasant army crossing the river in large numbers.

He looked straight into Wei Qian'er's eyes, pointed to the other side and shook his hands: "General, is this a trap for the invaders?"

Even if they, the Shaanxi people who have been on the border for generations, rebelled, if the Tatars were allowed to invade, they would immediately turn around and help the border troops fight against the Tatars.

"Look at your ignorant look. Can you allow the border troops to escort the invaders?"

Cao Yao likes to quarrel with Wei Qian'er, and now he can use his experience of traveling around. He raises his arm and introduces several leaders: "I don't know which leader is on the other side. The Yiding troops who surrendered and the border troops guarding the Great Wall are all

Let him get it."

Liu Chengzong asked: "How do you tell that they are guarding the Great Wall? I see that their clothes and armor are no different from ours."

"Looking at the formation, there are no requirements for the formation of soldiers outside, but it is different on the Great Wall. I guarded two border walls in Datong."

The two side walls Cao Yao mentioned were the Great Wall, and the area between the two Great Walls was the military buffer zone of the Ming Dynasty.

"In order to march on the border wall, they usually ride five horses abreast and march ten men abreast. Our soldiers outside do not have such requirements."

After that, Cao Yao pointed to the border troops marching on the other side behind the Mongolian Yiding, carrying rifles, blunderbuss, and three-eyed muskets: "They must be the border troops of the Great Wall."

Liu Chengzong nodded slowly, then waved his hand and said to everyone: "Pull the team a little eastward. There are pack cannons on the horses behind. Don't hit us."

People on the other side of the river also have horses carrying cannons.

In fact, compared to the peasant army on the other side of the river, Liu Chengzong paid more attention to the officers and soldiers who came out of Yonghe Pass to form formations.

Not every officer is as brave as Lu Cheng.

For example, the commander-in-chief Yongheguan led more than 300 people out in a procession. Halfway through, he discovered that there were a huge number of peasant soldiers and ordered him to stand still and observe the situation.

After standing for a while, the Yiding soldiers from the Jiangjun army on the other side came out from the mountain road wearing strong armor.

The general who led the army was very obedient and didn't say anything when he saw the situation. He turned around, waved a small flag, and led the troops back to the customs.

Liu Chengzong could see clearly on the mountain, and that was right.

People cannot just think about getting promoted and getting rich.

Think about your parents, wife and children, and then think about your monthly rations and monthly salary.

Don't even stand in formation for field battles. Just stand on the city wall, even if it's worthy of the emperor's kindness for not paying military pay for many years.

"Now it depends on whether they are our enemies or friends. Listen carefully. We will soon see that the situation is not good. Let's form a team from the east and go down the mountain. Don't go to the west. If they want to go up the mountain, they have to go around from the west and they can't disperse."

The three sentry commanders all responded solemnly, turned around and conveyed the order to their respective captains, and the teams were listed according to the location of the central army.

Just as the mule battalion was in formation, the peasant army on the other side discovered that the official army had returned to Guancheng, and the people burst into laughter.

There were even two hungry people in ragged clothes who had crossed the river and deliberately ran to a place not far from Guancheng, took off their pants and swayed from side to side.

Liu Chengzong frowned and smiled ugly: "Are those two guys peeing on the defenders?"

This is too much.

Even Cao Yao laughed and shook his head: "It's too difficult to be a soldier these days. You either have to be a brave dead man like a guerrilla, or you are as cowardly as this boss, and you can barely ride on your head.

...Why don’t you use artillery fire? I can’t bear it anyway.”

"You have to endure it if you can't bear it. There are thousands of people, and there are thousands of soldiers in armor alone. If you can't bear it, you will die."

Liu Chengzong shook his head, suddenly raised his arm and pointed out, "Look at the other side, there are horse soldiers coming."

Judging from the movement, they should have been found on the mountain.

However, the peasant army did not regard them as enemies and formed formations in the mountains as Liu Chengzong imagined. Instead, they had horse soldiers quickly crossing the river from the pontoon bridge and sending orders to people to avoid the mountains.

Then the cavalry soldier approached cautiously and shouted: "Is this General Liu in Maoshang?"

General Liu?

Liu Chengzong was about to step forward to answer when he was stopped by Cao Yao: "Be careful of fraud."

Later, Cao Yao stepped forward and looked down, without showing his head, and just asked: "Which General Liu?"

"General Liu from Yan'an Prefecture!"

Cao Yao looked back at him, his meaning was obvious: I am looking for you.

He asked again: "What do you want from General Liu?"

Liu Chengzong frowned and looked toward the other side, his heart pounding.

Could it be that my father and brother were so powerful that they took advantage of his absence to recruit a group of border troops and Mongolian Yidin, and expanded the team tenfold to come to find him?

I feel like this is too fantasy.

And if he is a father or brother or an old acquaintance in Yan'an Mansion, he should send someone he knows here. He knows so many people in Yan'an Mansion, so he will not have no old acquaintances.

I heard the loud voice of the cavalry soldiers at the foot of the mountain saying: "Our leader's surname is Gao. He said that you owe him a meal and you haven't paid him back!"

Liu Chengzong really wanted to jump off the cliff and cover the cavalry soldier's mouth.

Without even looking back, he could feel the eyes of his subordinates looking over at him.

Cao Yao in front also turned around and stared with wide eyes, mouthing silently: "Is there such a thing?"

Liu Chengzong owed a meal to many people, but those people all died in the autumn.

There is only one person named Gao who is still alive, and he knows who it is.

If it was Gao Yingxiang, Liu Chengzong felt that he could probably guess why he was approached.

The rebels in Shaanxi are all holding together to keep warm, and Gao Yingxiang is no exception.

The cavalry soldiers at the foot of the mountain were still wondering why there was no sound from the mountain after finishing what the king said... Suddenly they heard a loud shout.

"He still owes me a copper beast to swallow the door knocker!"

There was no sound at the bottom of the mountain, but the clatter of horse hooves gradually faded away.

The cavalry soldiers took their horses and hid on a hillside where they could not be hit with bows, crossbows and muskets. Then they shouted: "The leader said, if you don't fight, wave the flag!"

After saying that, he jumped on the horse's butt and ran towards the pontoon.

The little guy was wiping his sweat while running, secretly glad that he really saved his life.

It sounded very friendly before, but suddenly it felt like we were not old friends, but more like neighbors.

Build an extra three feet of courtyard wall, move an extra three feet to dig field stakes, the kind of neighbor who has a grudge.

Riding a horse on the Yellow River pontoon bridge, looking forward.

On the West Bank Mountain, the banner of Chuangzi waved;

Looking back, on the east bank of the hills, a red flag is fluttering.

It seems that there is no more hatred.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the other side, Gao Yingxiang led several leaders down the mountain, galloped towards him like a whirlwind, and asked with a tense face: "It's Liu Chengzong, what did he say?"

"He said, he said the leader owed him a bronze beast to swallow the door knocker."

Gao Yingxiang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud, raised the Guandao, shook it and said with a smile: "Ha, hahaha! This little lion really holds a grudge!"

After saying that, he put the knife on the ground and said with his hand: "I'll ask him again if he dares to come to the pontoon to see me!"

The cavalry soldiers had no choice but to return again to report the news.

The dirty monkey in the sky came over and said curiously: "Since when did King Chuang owe me a copper door knocker? Why don't you pay it back? No wonder they don't let you go."

"What the hell!" Gao Yingxiang said with a smile: "That was because I was released by the county magistrate, so I went back and knocked on his door at night. His little lion ate my head and rice. If I didn't beat him, I would be so angry.

Feeling comfortable?"

Not to mention Heavenly Monkey Liu Jiusi, even Bu Tian Mu, Huntian Monkey and others who came over from the side were stunned.

In their minds, the so-called owing a meal should be a beautiful story similar to a meal.

Why is it related to Guantoufan?

Bu Zhanni said in a daze: "He is so shameless, and he can eat even if others are decapitated!"

"It's not just about eating, forget it, I won't tell you this."

Gao Yingxiang waved his hand, recalling the scene of a fat boy who was studying and practicing martial arts, holding the stewed lamb hooves and snoring mutton noodles in the prison with a big bowl in his arms.

This thing cannot be described at all, and it will make these hungry ghosts starve to death.

Bu Zhanmu raised his eyes diagonally upward, thinking about what it would be like to eat rice without a head.

Even if Gao Yingxiang didn't say anything, he had already swallowed hard, lifted up his mail shirt, reached into his clothes and touched his dry belly, and said to himself: "No, I have to get a lamb to eat at night... eh

, Chuang Wang."

Bu Zhanni said: "I still don't understand. Even if we are old acquaintances, send someone to talk to each other. Then we can join forces and fight together. Why do we have to let him come over? Besides, will he come over?"

"Yes."

Gao Yingxiang said categorically. In fact, he hadn't seen him for many years. He was not sure whether he would come, but he still warned him: "I'll be here in a while. Don't worry about what we say. Don't interrupt me to hurt me."

It's a big deal, I came here just to join forces with him."
