The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 41

In front of Fuhuzhai, the flames of war filled the air.In the camp of the sand bandits, there was a gloomy cloud.Among these Sand Pirate leaders, Firefox and Wolf King are also among them.It's just that they no longer have the power and influence of the past, and can only be inferior to others.Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man with a face different from that of Tianwu people, with a yellowish beard all over his face, and brown eyes revealing the cunning of a businessman.He is the well-known leader of the sand bandits, Weasel, in the corridor of the ancient road. There are thousands of sand bandits under his command.Whether it is a caravan or a peer, they are all shocked and trembling.The sand bandit group led by Weasel has been able to stand for ten years without falling, relying on the instincts he brought as a businessman, cautious and responsive.Never fight an uncertain battle, either you will be defeated in one battle, or you will retreat in one battle.Now, at the instigation of the newly recruited Firefox and the Wolf King, they traveled across the five-hundred-mile corridor to Hengshan, annihilated the defenders of Shahu Village in the first battle, and seized a large amount of cattle, sheep and supplies.All of a sudden, everyone was full.Originally planned to retreat with the goods, but under the temptation of Firefox, all the subordinates were reluctant to retreat and insisted on attacking Fuhuzhai.For this reason, Weasel was very hesitant. After all, he didn't understand the forces in Hengshan, and it was not in line with his usual style to go deep into the enemy's territory.But under the rhetoric of Firefox, Weasel was also a little moved, because this time the plunder of Shahu Village can be said to be as fast as the wind, and it was taken down in one go.Then the Hengshan forces must not have time to react. Even if they go to Fuhuzhai to plunder, it will only take a day or two, and they should have time to retreat.As a result, the weasel's bold and adventurous spirit as a businessman broke out, and he led the whole army to Fuhuzhai, hoping for a quick victory.However, he was disappointed in the result. Fuhuzhai was well prepared when they arrived. Moreover, the mountain roads around Fuhuzhai were rugged and the winding roads made it impossible for the team to start.In addition, Fuhuzhai is located on the mountainside, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Although there are less than two hundred people defending it, it is not easy to capture it.For this reason, the weasel was furious, and cursed Firefox and the wolf king for bewitching everyone.But at this time, the soldiers were approaching the city and had to fight.So, he immediately ordered to start testing and attacking the stronghold, and three hundred sand bandits rushed forward to attack Fuhu stronghold.

The inspection of Fuhuzhai is a vest, and he has experienced several battles against bandits. He is not afraid of this. Fifty soldiers who can fight under him are scattered among more than 100 people. They use the old to lead the new, and teach the people how to Kill the enemy.Seeing the sand bandits attacking, the vest smiled coldly, and when the bandits got closer, he ordered to release arrows. More than 50 bows and arrows flew out and scattered in the enemy's formation, killing 20 people in just one wave.After three or four waves of arrow rain, the enemy finally approached the wall of the village, and the improvised wooden ladder was quickly built on the wall of the village.The vest immediately ordered to pour oil on the wooden ladder, and then a fire ignited on the wooden ladder, forcing the enemy to be unable to climb the wall.But bows, arrows and stones poured down continuously on the wall of the stronghold, immediately causing heavy losses to the enemy, who had to retreat quickly.

After the Sand Pirates withdrew, they counted, and 300 people attacked in one wave, with seven to eighty casualties.The weasel's face was gloomy, this is not possible, and it only made a tentative attack, and lost nearly a hundred people.If you attack with all your strength, won't you have more than half the casualties?So they summoned all the leaders in the camp to discuss the next step.

The faces of the leaders were also not good, and they secretly regretted listening to the temptation of Firefox to come here to attack the stronghold.It is impossible to attack the stronghold, and it is impossible for everyone to plunder at the expense of loss, otherwise, without strength, they will be swallowed up by other colleagues.

"Boss, since we can't get a bargain here, we might as well withdraw. Anyway, what we have gained this time is enough for us to have a good year." Someone suggested.

"That's right, fleeing without a single blow is our magic weapon for victory, and attacking cities and villages is not what we are good at. With the harvest of killing the fox village, this trip is worthwhile."

. . . .

Faced with everyone's eagerness to retreat, Weasel rolled his eyes, why did he go so early.But their thoughts were in line with their own, so they nodded and said, "Okay, then we will..."

"Boss, please wait a moment." Firefox suddenly stood up and interrupted the weasel.

Weasel glared at Firefox viciously, and said with a sneer, "Why, do you still want us to continue to die?"

"That's right, isn't it because of your bewitching that we lost dozens of brothers, and you still want to continue to seduce us?"

Firefox's face was terrified, and he quickly bowed down and said respectfully: "Boss, I am wronged. I thought for everyone's sake. I thought that if we quickly took down Shahu Village, and then quickly rushed to Fuhu Village, we would be able to take it as quickly as Shahu Village." Who knew that Fuhuzhai found us so soon, I didn't expect it. However, fortunately, the officers and soldiers of Hengshan County have not responded yet. Although it is not good for us to attack the village here, it is a pity to retreat like this up."

"It's nothing to be sorry for. Since we can't beat them, we should retreat. It's normal. It's been two days since we attacked Shahu Village. The opponent should already know our existence, and they definitely won't let it go. If we don't retreat now, we will wait." When?" The weasel analyzed rationally.

"The leader doesn't know that the terrain of Hengshan County is complex and the roads are rugged. It will take at least three days for the officers and soldiers to arrive here, and it will take at least five or six days for them to report to them and take action. We are only using it now. Two days, it’s not too late to stay for one more day before retreating.”

"Stay one more day? Since we can't take down the cottage, what's the use of staying one more day?"

"It's very useful, leader. There are many villages around this Fuhu village. Since we can't take down Fuhu village, can't we take down other villages? You know, these villages are also very rich under the management of the dog officer." . "Firefox laughed, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, this rhetoric once again touched everyone's desire.The weasel hesitated again. According to Firefox's analysis, he could indeed stay for a day to search the surrounding villages. Since he came, he couldn't return empty-handed, right?Just in case. . . .

Firefox seemed to see through Weasel's thoughts, and immediately said: "If the leader is still worried, the wolf king and I are willing to lead our men to investigate the movements of the officers and soldiers. If the situation changes, we will notify everyone immediately."

Hearing this, the weasel finally let go of his last worries. He laughed and said, "Okay, since the two of you are willing to go on guard, I can rest assured. Don't worry, you will also have a share of the stolen property."

"Thank you, leader." Firefox and Wolf King thanked quickly.

Soon, Firefox and the Wolf King led a hundred or so of their men to leave the camp of sand bandits and head east.Weasel left 200 people here to surround Fuhuzhai, and the rest of the people split up into several groups to march towards the surrounding villages.

The movement of the Sand Pirates quickly alarmed the defenders in Fuhuzhai. Looking at the scattered Sand Pirates, the vest immediately understood their intentions.But at this moment, he couldn't do anything. He could only secretly pray that the nearby villages would be prepared, "My lord, I hope you will bring someone here as soon as possible. I'm afraid we won't be able to last long."

On the trail to the east, Firefox and Wolf King were driving side by side, and the whole team of a hundred or so people was walking slowly.

The Wolf King looked at Firefox and asked in confusion: "Firefox, do we really want to stand guard for the weasels? We joined them just as a stopgap measure, and this time I encouraged them to come to Hengshan just for revenge. Now no one knows when the officers and soldiers will It will be here, you let us stand guard here, if the officers and soldiers arrive, we will be the first to be unlucky."

Firefox swayed on the horse with his eyes slightly closed, seeing that the wolf king was worried, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Brother wolf king, don't worry, my analysis in the camp is also correct. Maybe they will arrive here. But with the war horses we gave them back then, it will be different, I guess they will arrive here around tomorrow." When he said sending the words, a trace of pain flashed across Firefox's face.

"Since that's the case, why do we still come here to die?" The wolf king was shocked and reprimanded.

"Don't be impatient, we are not here to die, but to create an opportunity." Firefox opened his eyes, with a strange look in them.

Seeing that Firefox always spoke in half, the wolf king was very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly, "What's going on? Tell me quickly, or I won't accompany you."

"Brother Wolf King, do you still want to live under the fence? This time, we created an opportunity to rise again." Firefox said proudly, "The reason why I encouraged the weasel to go all the way to Hengshan Is it just for revenge? No, I want to drag all of them here to die. As long as they are defeated by officers and soldiers, we can occupy their lair and recruit troops. At that time, thousands of miles of long corridors and ancient roads will be at my disposal The door is vertical and horizontal."

"What, that's your plan. Why didn't you tell me?" The wolf king was startled, and looked at Firefox with a wary look.

"Brother Wolf King, this plan is very dangerous. If there is a slight mistake, my life is in danger. How dare I say it. Now that the plan is almost successful, I dare to tell you. Please forgive me, Brother Wolf King." Firefox arched his hands and apologized road.

Only then did the wolf king feel better, "Since this is the case, what are your plans so that we can seize the weasel's inheritance?"

"I deliberately asked to lead our men to the east for reconnaissance and sentry. In fact, I wanted to bypass them and quickly leave the battlefield and leave Hengshan. They don't know yet that we are both from Hengshan and are very familiar with the terrain of Hengshan. There is a road not far from here that leads to Shahu Village. At that time, hide nearby first, and when you see the officers and soldiers, rush to Shahu Village from that path, and set fire to destroy the goods they hoarded. Burn it all up, and then leave Hengshan immediately, and try our best to drive to the weasel's lair."

"A great plan!" The Wolf King praised after hearing this, "Okay, since Brother Firefox has made a plan, let's do it this way. Haha! At that time, the weasel's family will be half of us."

"That's a matter of course." The corner of Firefox's mouth slightly raised, and he sneered in his heart.
