At this time, recalling that they had just survived the flames, the thieves still had lingering fears. Some of them had even begun to think about retreating, and they all looked at the masked thieves. The masked bandit leader has the most bandits under his command. This time he came forward to summon the group of thieves, so everyone naturally took him as the leader. The masked bandit leader knew that all these bandits had lost their spirit, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. ¡°Unexpectedly, this Wanju Chen Xi is actually a real person. It seems that if we want to succeed this time, we may have to spend a lot of troubles. But he was extremely unwilling to stop here. The masked thief knew that he must not show any embarrassment or hesitation at this moment. Secretly gritting his teeth, even if most of his men were lost, this battle would be successful. Having made up his mind, the masked robber leader loudly encouraged the robbers: "It was because of Qin's failure to investigate that those fat and wealthy businessmen succeeded by luck, causing many injuries to the brothers." Masked robber Although Shou was slightly overweight, he was extremely agile. He pressed the back of the horse next to him with one hand and stood firmly on the horse's back. The flickering firelight two feet away shone on the face covered with a black scarf, making the face that was already gloomy due to the mask become even more gloomy, and the expression was very strange. If Lu Yuanpeng were here at this time, he would definitely recognize that this masked man is the masked man named Qin who escaped from Suoyang Mountain. The masked bandit leader stood on horseback, pointed at the car array surrounded by fire in the distance, raised his voice and shouted: "The one who killed my brother is right there. There are not only our enemies there, but also millions of dollars." Today Qin swears here that as long as he rushes into the car formation and kills all the merchants who only care about making money, the millions of property will be ours today, and every one of our brothers will have a share. One thousand, which will be exchanged for the heads afterwards. "The dejected bandits immediately became energetic again when they heard that everyone had a share of the property, and that their heads could be exchanged for money. They couldn't help but burst into cheers. The other dozen or so thieves saw the masked man once again boosting the morale of the thieves. Although they were still frightened, and some of them had already begun to retreat, the situation forced them to follow the herd. After the bandits reorganized their team, according to the arrangement of the masked man, they began to attack the vehicle formation guarded by Chen Xi and Ding Fu from the north. . . . . . . When Lu Yuanpeng led his troops to the battlefield, it was already Yin time, when the night was at its darkest. Lu Yuanpeng led his troops to quietly sneak out of the Peixian military camp under the cover of night and followed them secretly. In order to let the horses that ran for more than half a night recuperate their strength, Lu Yuanpeng ordered his men to hide behind a grass hill, and led Dong Zhu, Xue Ou, Wang Hui, and nine chiefs to the grass hill to check the situation. Caogang is located to the east of where the bandits gather, about a mile away, which is enough time for the horses to speed up when they charge. At this time, a large group of bandits gathered around a dozen bonfires, and there were still eight or nine hundred people in total. Looking at the car formation of Chen Xi and others, due to the long distance and the obstruction of the firelight, we can only vaguely see the outline of the car formation. Within the vehicle array, a dozen large trucks had caught fire. It was thought that the bandits fired rockets into the vehicles, igniting the vehicle frames. The detective horse sent to secretly accompany the convoy was telling Lu Yuanpeng how Chen Xi and Ding Fu shot and killed the bandits, how they burned the reeds, and how they rode after the bandits. There are also situations such as how Chen Xi led the crowd to withstand several sieges by bandits and held on to the car formation for half a night. Lu Yuanpeng couldn't help but secretly admire what Chen Xi did. What a Chen Xi! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the gate, he was a ruthless man who would win the favor of Liu Bang in the future, hold the position of Zhao and Dai, and finally dare to stand up as king and challenge Liu Bang. Not to mention that Lu Yuanpeng secretly praised Chen Xi, Xue Ou, Wang Hui and others who were listening to Tan Ma's words were excited. Chen Bi was even more excited and gearing up, urging him repeatedly to attack the bandits, but Lu Yuanpeng just refused. After more than half an hour, the eastern sky began to brighten. In the morning light, beside the bonfire lit by the bandits, except for more than thirty horses and almost as many people, all the other bandits surrounded the car formation again. It can be seen that the robbers did not surround the car formation, and they were obviously not afraid of the people in the car formation breaking out and running away. They just wanted the property in the car formation. "Besides, there are only a small number of people in the car formation. If they break away from the car formation and have no cover, the entire army will be wiped out. At this time, it seems that the bandits are at the end of their game and just want to make one final blow. Otherwise, after dawn, this huge fire will probably attract government troops from nearby counties and counties. It will be difficult for them to escape calmly at that time. Xue Ou came up to Lu Yuanpeng and lowered his voice: "Young Master, you also"Do you know how much combat power there is left in the car array? Should we send someone over to check it out? ¡± Lu Yuanpeng understood what Xue Ou meant. He was worried that after half a night of fierce fighting in the car formation, there were not many men left, and he was worried that they would not be able to withstand the last attack of the bandits. For fear of being noticed by the bandits, although Lu Yuanpeng had already reached the halfway point At that time, no one was sent to contact Chen Xi and Ding Fu in the car formation. Lu Yuanpeng was also a little worried. However, at this time, there were still eight or nine hundred bandits. If he was alone. A hundred cavalry attacked nearly a thousand bandits. Not to mention whether they could defeat the bandits, the more than one hundred soldiers who had only been trained for more than a month might lose most of them. Lu Yuanpeng would not do such a deal under any circumstances. He did not dare to recruit more troops in Pei County without letting the bandits lurking in Pei County know. This time he only brought reinforcements from his two villages in Pei County, and they would probably arrive in the afternoon at the earliest. , if he doesn't attack, it's fine. Once he does, he must hit the bandit's vital point at the most critical moment, killing the enemy with one blow. There are killing sounds from a distance, and a large group of bandits draw their swords and attack from all sides. They launched successive attacks on the vehicle formation. Although the distance was far away and the specific battle situation could not be seen clearly, judging from the distance between the bandits besieging the vehicle formation, it was very likely that the two sides were engaging in hand-to-hand combat. It was clear without looking at the vehicle formation. Chen Xi, Ding Fu and others in the formation had suffered a lot of damage after fighting all night, and they were probably running out of arrows. Lu Yuanpeng waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Mount the horse." Turning back and walking down the grass hill, Xue Ou and Wang Hui rushed down the grass hill and called their soldiers to mount their horses and form a formation. It was absolutely impossible for them to ride into the formation now. Now, except for Xue Ou and Wang Sui, those who can use long soldiers to fight on horseback are the commanders, corps commanders, and a few soldiers who were accustomed to riding horses in the past. Although Lu Yuanpeng attaches great importance to galloping horses and shooting. But that takes time and cannot be done in a short time. At this time, even Xue Ou's group was mostly good at shooting. When riding on horseback, they were not accurate at all on the ground. On galloping horses, they can roughly shoot arrows to the target. Therefore, less than 30% of the people in these two groups can kill the enemy on horseback. In this battle, Lu Yuanpeng can only use his power to scare the enemy.
