After the immortal disappeared

"Although cannibalism is not uncommon, he is the only one who is proud and complacent about cannibalism. He is responsible for half of the bad reputation the rebels bear."

Zhao Qinghe continued what He Yue said: "Hong Xiangqian was defeated and died, and Lu Yao gathered the remaining troops and fled south. They came to Xianling Village, not as they advertised, but to meet other people on the bank of Xianling Lake. Two rebel generals join forces."

"These two people are Wu Shaoyi, the general of the right tent, and Pei Xinyong, the general of Hui Shui."

He Yue asked in surprise: "When will we meet and how many people will there be in total?"

"About tomorrow afternoon, Shuangyue Bay. The three armies combined, there will be at least four to five thousand people."

He Lingchuan felt that their father and son were really unlucky. They went out after knowing the almanac!

Is the almanac fake? The product of some black-hearted workshop?

Regardless of whether they are officers, soldiers or gangsters, the defeated army is often armed and undisciplined. They burn, kill and loot along the way, which is more terrifying than bandits.

Faerie Village will be swarming with rebels in the coming days.

Originally I heard that the villagers here were all fake bandits, so the He family and his son still looked down upon them. After all, thieves have not fought with officials since ancient times, not to mention the fact that one's own side has more people and stronger troops.

He Lingchuan was even more complacent because of his several life and death adventures. He thought that the big winds and waves were coming, so what was this little trouble?

But now I know that the other party is a rebel leader, a notorious cannibal general!

The other side has 1,400 men, and three times more rebels will arrive tomorrow.

It's like a fisherman trying to catch an eel in the river. He jumped into the water and tugged at it wildly. He also stabbed it with a harpoon a few times, only to realize that the thing was not an eel at all, but a piece of the tail of an anaconda. tip!

Is it too late to shrink back now?

He Lingchuan also saw the expressions of the staff beside his father, who looked pale.

If you escape overnight, what is your success rate?

He Lingchuan believed that his father's fighting spirit had also died down, and it was time to start thinking of ways to escape.

The staff immediately said: "If we go down the mountain now, we may be able to catch up before the backup of the bandits from Desheng Town arrives."

Zhao Qinghe shook his head: "The fat man confessed, the thieves from Desheng Town have arrived, about 700 of them, and they are resting at Shaozi Rock, which is only five miles away from here!"

Everyone was shocked.

The two hundred bandit troops plus seven hundred backup troops were already twice as many as the officers and soldiers.

The Guards Regiment has more than 400 people, but the number of soldiers who can actually fight is only over 300. The rest are women, children and logisticians, so they have basically no fighting power at all. If a war really breaks out with the rebels, the officers and soldiers will have to focus on protecting them, which can be said to be a full disadvantage.

Mrs. Ying and Zhu Xiuer also knew something was wrong, their faces were as white as paper.

If the officers and soldiers were defeated, the fate of these female relatives... might as well be suicide.

Hearing these numbers, He Chunhua calmed down: "If Lu Yao had all the advantages, why didn't he start a war? He was attacked by Lieutenant General Zeng at the lakeside but he was not angry. Instead, he asked me for peace."

When he said this, He Yue immediately said: "He also wants to preserve his troops!"

"Since the armies will meet tomorrow, even if these leaders of the defeated army want to sit down with Le Rongrong to drink tea and discuss matters, they will probably have to decide their ranking according to their strength. In this situation, Lu Yao will definitely suffer losses when fighting with our army. I am afraid that he will It affected my plans for tomorrow, so I had to compromise. ”

In other words, the mentality of He Chunhua's army and Lu Yao's rebels are very subtle now.

Both parties want to avoid losses.

He Lingchuan glanced at his younger brother. This second child is still very clever.

"Then there is still room for maneuver here. It is not a doomed situation." Staff Mo Zhe Jingxuan said, "But Lu Yao's so-called peaceful coexistence may only have a few hours left."

"Negotiating peace with him is like seeking skin from a tiger." He Chunhua mused, "He doesn't want to take action tonight because he doesn't want his strength to be damaged. But when the three armies gather together tomorrow, I'm afraid they will unite to hunt us down!"

Is there any other act that can inspire thieves more than killing an army of officers and soldiers?

These defeated armies may even think that they need a big victory to lay the foundation for a successful rendezvous.

He Lingchuan's heart was heavy, and he felt as if he had returned to the battlefield in his dream. Will the despair of being surrounded by enemies and having no bright future happen again in reality this time?

In this helpless little ravine, with three hundred warriors fighting against four to five thousand people and still winning, no novel would dare to write like this.

By then, He Chunhua and the three hundred people would be the victims of the rebels' sacrifice to heaven.

Mrs. Ying couldn't help but interject: "I can't leave now, and I won't be able to leave tomorrow, so what should I do?" Should I sit back and wait for death?

There was silence in the dining room for a moment.

If you don't leave, you will die, if you leave, you will die. More than 300 to 400 people fell into a desperate situation without knowing it.

If there is no sure path, where is the glimmer of hope?

He Lingchuan thought of the battlefield in his dream. When the last line of carriages was about to be broken, what he felt was not despair, but a feeling of glory even in death!

They persisted until the end, and finally waited for that exciting horn.

It's the same now. It's too early to give in. There are still a few hours before dawn.

Time is money, and they still have a chance to make a profit.

Seeing everyone sitting dumbly in the hall, He Lingchuan coughed lightly and said to He Chunhua: "There is a huge disparity in strength. I'm afraid we won't be able to make a fuss about it ourselves. Have you considered using external forces?"

"Desheng Town, which is closest to us, has been controlled by the rebels. If you want to borrow troops, you have to go further out to Qianteng Town. I remember that there is Zhechong Mansion in Hebei, but after the battle at Woling Pass, no longer We know how many soldiers are still inside." He Chunhua took a deep breath, "I'll write a letter for help and send it down the mountain. If we can hold on until tomorrow afternoon, maybe... there is still hope."

"No... Dad, what I mean is that the rebels are not monolithic. Are the two generals named Wu and Pei very convinced of Lu Yao? Instead of counting on the unreliable Yamashita soldiers, we might as well try to borrow Li Da Li?" Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, He Lingchuan laughed dryly, "That's all I can think of, I'll add more later."

"Chuan'er, what you said..." An idea flashed in He Chunhua's mind. After thinking about it carefully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, "It makes sense! Well, it makes sense!"

He was also confused for a moment, intimidated by the number of rebels Wu Yangyang, but he forgot that two-thirds of them were not Lu Yao's men! Although they are both rebels, the difference is huge.

He Lingchuan's suggestion of this point is like smashing the window paper, saying it is worthless but very useful. Mo Zhe Jingxuan followed the train of thought and figured out the key: "Lu Yao gathered an army of 1,400 people, but he only brought more than 200 to Xianling Village, leaving the rest in the town. , Why? Because this village cannot support so many people!”
