You're just a fool, I don't know what's going on in your mind!
Not just thinking about occupying Huangzhu Mountain and becoming the emperor, but also thinking about surrendering to Huangzhu Mountain even if they can't defeat him.
But I don’t want to think about it. It is basically impossible for you surnamed Li to occupy Huangzhu Mountain. There are more than a thousand people, but only three to four hundred young men can be recruited.
Even the several attacks by officers and soldiers at the end of last year were unsuccessful. It is simply a fantasy that you can capture Huangzhushan with only 400 old and weak men and more than 100 young men under your command.
At this time, Old Man Xie didn't know that more than a month ago, the government once again sent two thousand troops into the mountains, but they still returned without success. Instead, even the grain team was robbed twice, and Longhua Town was robbed once.
lost heavily.
If he were to know about this, I am afraid that Old Man Xie would be even more sure that Chief Li's march into Huangzhu Mountain this time was definitely seeking his own death.
Even if Chief Li wanted to surrender after being defeated, it would not be an easy task. The people of Huangzhushan are not stupid, so how can you say that if you want to run over and become a prince, then you can become a prince. Who knows if the people of Huangzhushan will do it for you?
To better control these more than 400 people who have surrendered, the first person to be killed is your surname Li.
But he doesn't care about these anymore. What he cares about is just letting the two sides fight. Only when the fight starts, will the situation become chaotic. As long as the situation becomes chaotic, he can take advantage of the chaos to escape with his family. As for whether Leader Li will win or lose in the end, he will survive.
He doesn't care whether he dies.
Now what he wants is to continue to allow Leader Li to march into Huangzhu Mountain, and he even doesn't hesitate to make suggestions for him, proposing a strategy to use it to his advantage.
I just don’t know how those people in Huangzhushan will react!
When Village Chief Li and his party made a decision and moved on, the Huang Zhushan spies who were monitoring them soon ran back to report the news.
When the spies went back, they met Butcher Chen and the others. Butcher Chen learned from the spies that the bandits had set off again and were heading in their direction.
He immediately stopped moving forward. After thinking for a while, Butcher Chen said to the spies: "When you go back, tell General Fang and them that our forward troops will hide on the spot, and then go around behind them!"
Although the gang of bandits has moved on, Butcher Chen feels that they still have the possibility of escaping, especially when these people run into the ambushing main force of his own side, they may turn around and run away immediately.
If you block them from behind, it won't be that easy for them to escape.
After Butcher Chen made his decision, he quickly took his people and hid in the dense forest.
They hid for two hours. Just when Butcher Chen couldn't help but complain about the bandits coming so slowly, the person watching from the front trotted back and lowered his voice: "They are already here, are they there?"
The spies are searching on both sides, we have to hide further!"
After hearing this, Butcher Chen nodded, and then said to his men: "Let's go, be careful, lest we make any noise!"
There were only twenty people in their group, and they had a small target and hid in the dense forest. As long as they didn't stupidly get in front of other people's peripheral spies, the possibility of being discovered was not too high.
And this is also the reason why both Huang Zhushan and Li Zhai leader discovered the other party's large group of troops, but they did not discover each other's spies.
Because in the deep mountains, it is difficult for hundreds of people to hide, but if there are only ten or twenty people scattered and hiding, they can still easily escape. After all, the other party cannot search the surrounding mountains and forests with great fanfare.
Time passed little by little, and Butcher Chen, who was hiding in the dense forest, could vaguely hear the voices coming from the front. There were only two people speaking, not many, and they should be the peripheral sentinels of the group of bandits.
At this time, Butcher Chen and the others did not dare to move or make a sound, because the two bandit sentries were only twenty or thirty meters away from them in this quiet forest.
Any cough can attract the other person's attention.
However, it was impossible for those sentries to search the surroundings carefully. They just advanced several hundred meters outside the large group of people. Their main task was to guard the perimeter and were not used to search for enemy sentries.
After the two sentinels passed by, Butcher Chen and the others quietly came out of the dense forest, and then followed the pace of the bandit group in front.
At the same time, Huang Zhushan's spy, who was able to report the news, also reported to Fang Dongquan and others that the bandit group had set off and was on its way.
When he heard that the bandits were coming and that Butcher Chen decided to follow them, Fang Dongquan immediately discussed with Huang Xueren, Wang Shanxu and others, and finally decided to lay an ambush according to the original plan.
Try to avoid being discovered by them as much as possible. When they get close and you can't hide, attack directly and try to completely surround them in the shortest possible time.
Don’t let anyone escape!
This is the order given by Fang Dongquan to everyone!
But when they were preparing to ambush these bandits, they didn't know that a group of about forty bandits had already bypassed the main road and appeared behind them on the right side.
At this time, each of these bandit masters were sitting on the ground panting, and many of them were drinking water in large gulps to relieve the energy consumed by the previous burst of running.
After they secretly left the large group of people, they went directly through the dense forest and took a special trail. However, they walked several miles further on the original path before they successfully appeared on the right side of the Huangzhushan group of people.
This continuous running of more than ten miles was too much for them even though they were young and strong men. It consumed a lot of physical strength. Now they urgently needed to slow down, otherwise they would not have the strength to fight when they were attacked later.
The people from Li Village sent people to make a sneak attack, but he himself didn't know that he was followed by Butcher Chen and his group of twenty people.
In this battle that has not yet broken out, it can be said that from the very beginning, both sides began to play tricks, and the other side failed to see through it.
Therefore, the generals on both sides are full of confidence!
In the afternoon, the main force led by Village Master Li had arrived at the ambush site of the Huangzhushan bandits, which was less than two miles away. However, at this time, Village Master Li made people stop and prepared to rest on the spot and bury the pot to make rice.
.
But when they were burying the pots to make rice, they were very vigilant. The young and strong people in the front did not move at all, but let the old, weak, women and children bury the pots and make rice.
When they were eating, Fang Dongquan and the others had just asked their subordinates to finish lunch. As the war was about to begin, although the generals of the two sides did not discuss it, they unanimously made the same choice, which was to let the soldiers prepare for the war before the war.
Have a hearty meal.
Eating before a battle may sound funny or even businesslike, but in fact it is a common rule in the era of cold weapon warfare.
In ancient times, it was difficult for even soldiers to have enough to eat every day. It was basically impossible to eat as much as they wanted, so before a war, soldiers were allowed to have a free meal, even with wine and meat. This was not only
In order to keep the soldiers physically fit, it is also to boost morale.
There is a huge difference between going into battle with a full stomach and going into battle with an empty stomach.
When the armies on both sides were eating separately, they suffered from the partial divisions ambushing behind them. The more than 40 partial divisions of the bandits came in a hurry and did not even bring much dry food. They could only share a small amount of dry food.
Eat with cold water, look at the little dry food in your hand, and then look at the people in Huangzhushan outside eating big bowls of white rice, I feel envious, jealous, and hateful in my heart!
Butcher Chen's side was not much better. They did bring dry food, but eating dry dry food was naturally not as good as rice.
After both sides had eaten and drank enough, although they were still two miles apart and no one had seen each other yet, they prepared for war with great tacit understanding.
All this surprised the bandits who were ambushing both sides and Butcher Chen when they saw it.
Butcher Chen watched the bandits settle down the old, weak, women and children, and when the young and strong men were preparing to set off with various weapons, he thought something was wrong in his heart.
Why didn't they take the old, weak, women and children with them and continue the march?
Did they notice something? After fighting for so many times, Butcher Chen's first thought was that the other party had probably discovered where his main force was.
It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, but even if you are prepared, can you still defeat the nearly 300 people of Huang Zhushan's main force in front with more than a hundred people?
He didn't know that a partial division of the bandits was ambushing the flanks of the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, waiting for the main forces of both sides to fight and come from behind.
At the same time, those who were on the bandits' side looked at the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain who also began to line up, and looked at this posture as if they were arranging their troops to prepare for war.
Could it be that these people from Huangzhushan already knew that Master Li and the others were coming soon?
Those Huangzhushan spies are so powerful that they can monitor their own movements all the way, but it doesn't matter, they will definitely not know that they are ambushing here.
At this moment, although the two sides have not formally contacted each other, in fact, the soldiers of both sides are already at war and are about to break out!
Time passed bit by bit. Leader Li and more than a hundred people gradually approached, two miles, and then one mile. When they approached about 500 meters, they could already directly see the low mountain tops.
Behind them, groups of Huangzhushan bandits stood.
Because when they entered the one-mile range, Fang Dongquan and the others no longer allowed the troops to hide, but directly came out in formation.
These bandits will probably be frightened when they see people like themselves suddenly appearing!
But he soon discovered that things were a little different from what he expected. The bandits on the opposite side saw people like him appearing in large numbers, but there was no commotion.
What does this mean? It means that the other party seems to have expected this situation to happen!
After another moment, the distance between the two parties was close to about 300 meters. However, at this time, the other party did not turn around and run away, which puzzled Fang Dongquan.
Suddenly, he felt a very bad feeling in his heart!
This feeling told him that this matter was fraudulent!
And when he was just born at this age, suddenly a group of people ran out from behind and rushed towards the back of Huangzhushan's queue!
Seeing this scene, Fang Dongquan's face darkened!
The leader of the village opposite, Li Zhai, showed a sneer: "You want to ambush me, but you don't know who is ambushing me!"
