Eight years of Daye.

On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhangqiu County Magistrate Du Ruhui issued an emergency order to summon the county barracks and the five township groups to the county town to gather.

"Pei Changcai, a bandit in Taishan, led more than 10,000 thieves, and had crossed Mount Tai and entered our Qi County. The thief was powerful. Although we, Zhangqiu, were not the first to be at the brunt of the attack, we must gather troops to prepare for early defense."

The captain of the Zhangqiu County Barracks is now Luo Jizu, the eldest brother of Luo Cheng. He now takes over the county barracks. However, when the county barracks were in Luo Cheng's hands, they were strong and powerful. However, later the county barracks were directly transferred to Changbai Yingyang Mansion, and the county barracks recruited personnel again, but it was not as good as before.

Now, because of the Liao Dynasty, there were not many young and strong people in Zhangqiu County. The county and county barracks were originally worth 500, but many of them were summoned to serve. Now it is difficult to summon half of them.

Not only are the county and county barracks like this, but the situation of the township soldiers in the five townships is even worse. One group of township soldiers is estimated to be less than 30% left.

The villages and villages had the responsibility to protect the countryside, but now they could not control the countryside anymore, so they could only focus on the county town. Now the bandits and bandits are wandering around. Although there is a powerful general Zhang Xutuo in Qi County, the number of soldiers in the county is small and it is difficult to support it.

There is also an Yingyang Mansion stationed in Changbai Mountain, but Luo Cheng took away most of the people and left behind two hundred soldiers to station in Changbai Mountain forts. Otherwise, Changbai Mountain might become the base camp for accumulating bandits at any time.

Du Ruhui handed over the city defense task to Luo Gui, Luo Ji's grandfather and son.

Luo Jizu, who was going to go to the countryside to pick up people, had to send a county soldier back and ask him to find his second son Chengzong and ask him to take the village group in Changbai Township to pick up the Luo family to the county town.

Luo Chengzong received a letter in the afternoon. He trained his subordinates in Changbai Township Camp opposite Nanshan Village. There were 500 people in the town camp, and now there are serious shortages. There are only a few dozen people in the camp. Chengzong sent people everywhere to inform the soldiers who were still in the town to return to the camp.

But there were only more than 150 people gathered together.

On the other hand, in Yier camp, Yier, who Luo Cheng asked his brothers to adopt on his behalf, had reached 300. These teenagers were mostly ten years old and eleven years old, mostly beggars orphans, and were adopted as the successors of those brothers who fell under Luo Cheng's command, so they were called Yier.

They live together every day, learn martial arts, read and calculate, and can eat and wear well. This is naturally much better than their previous life.

Luo Chengzong brought more than 100 soldiers from the village and brought these 300 Yi'er with him.

After crossing the river, in Nanshan Village, every household was packing their luggage. They heard about the news of the bandits and saw that the town camp next door was about to be removed, so naturally they would not be able to stay there.

The eldest, second and fourth sister-in-law, both were shortly after giving birth, and it was less than a hundred days after giving birth. At this time, I was wrapped in a towel on my head and hugged the crying child in a hurry.

Luo's mother, her little sister and Wang Huiniang packed up all the things and wanted to move the house away.

However, Luo Cheng's wife Shan Binbin, with her good sister Zhang Hongxian, led a horse alone, dressed in a man's costume, and carried a knife on her back. Especially Shan Binbin, who was holding a tall horse, even came out with a jujube spear. Although this spear was not a 23-pound heavy spear like Luo Cheng, it was just a twelve-pound horse spear tailored for her, but a woman was also very scary to hold the spear.

The fourth wife Liu Sanniang said, "If I hadn't been a hundred days, I would have been like my fifth brother and sister, riding a horse and carrying a knife. Let's see which bandit dared to come if they didn't open their eyes."

Chengzong looked at the messy house and sighed, "Just pack up some of the fine and soft ones, and you don't need to bring the rest. Aunt Du, you see there is no need to bring these big boxes. When you arrive in the county, you will have ready-made furniture, etc.." Chengzong saw Du Ruhui's mother and girl carrying a big box with great effort, so he could only persuade him with a smile.

"The box is a reward sent back by Fu Wei from Liaodong, and it is all the best silk."

Chengzong had no choice but to ask someone to help get on the car.

In the end, the women of the Luo family packed up the carriages. If Chengzong hadn't stopped them, they could have loaded a few more carriages.

Luo Chengzong locked the door of his home yard with a big lock, and then took his family to the county town.

More than a hundred soldiers from the village and 300 Yier Camp boys protected more than ten members of the Luo family. Behind them were hundreds of people from Nanshan Village and several nearby villages, everyone followed them with the elderly and the young.

Some older ones, when the Sui Dynasty had not unified the world decades ago, the Qi and Lu land often fought in melee, and were both soldiers and bandits, and often had to leave their hometowns and escape.

Fortunately, Chengzong took the town camp and Yier camp to protect him this time, so everyone followed him to the county town. No matter what, the city walls of the county town are always tall and much stronger than the village walls.

Last time, Wang Bo and Wang Yong also fought to the city of Zhangqiu, but weren’t they repelled by Luo Wu and his brothers?

More than a hundred township heroes in the village group, each of them had a spear in their hands, which looked neat. Behind them were three hundred Yierying boys. They were short and particularly conspicuous, with their short hair shaved, looking like a little monk. Although these people were still young men, and they were not even as old as having their hair tied, their short hair was still a bit conspicuous after all.

Although the teenagers were young, they were holding spears, wearing horizontal swords, and carrying bows and arrows. Their equipment was even better than those of the village corps.

Moreover, although they were young, they were neat and orderly when they were marching. There were older and taller teenagers leading the team in front, raising flags, and some teenagers shouting horns. They were not harsh and had serious expressions. In addition to their own weapons, each carrying a big bag, containing their own clothes and blankets, etc., and carrying a dry food bag, containing seven-day dry food and a small salt bag.

“These kids are so energetic.”

Some villagers said.

"No, I saw each of the little beggars who were all black and thin, with a unkempt and yellow face, and now they are like being criticized. Look at this spirit, they have changed a lot."

"Although they used to be beggars, they are now Luo Cheng's Yier camp. They eat and wear well every day. It is said that they have meat every meal. Luo Cheng is very good to them. Look at their equipment, spears, swords, bows and arrows, and uniform clothes. Not to mention that the township barracks are not as good as the county barracks."

"These people really look like the old county camp." Someone remembered the team led by Luo Cheng.

"It's not a big deal."

Shan Binbin and Hongxian rode their horses to the side of Luo's mother's carriage. Listening to everyone's discussion about Yierying, they couldn't help but miss their husband who was far away in Liaodong.

The second day after the wedding, my husband went to Liaodong for a trip, and he had been together for more than a year.

Before she could feel the feeling of living with the person she liked, she was separated.

Usually, she was so envious of the three sisters-in-law and their little nephews. If Goro didn't leave, maybe she would get pregnant and even give birth to a cute child.

I don’t know if he is cold in Liaodong, but I heard that it is very cold there.

It’s very dangerous to fight. The Goguryeo people heard that they were very savage and fierce. Her husband entered Liao in July and had already fought several battles. Every time she received a letter from her husband to come back from a remote border, she would collect it in person and often read it.

When she saw her husband sending a letter and saying that he had won another battle, she would be happy for him. Seeing that he had been promoted again, she was also happy for him, but she was always worried that the higher the official position, the more battles he had to fight.

Not long ago, my husband said that they had won a great victory, wiped out all the Goguryeo people in the west of Liaohe River, and took back the city, and said that they would probably have a rest for a while in the future.

I heard that the brother Zhangqiu he brought with him had more than 100 deaths, so she was worried for a long time.

I haven't received a new letter from home for a long time. I don't know how my husband is doing now after the battle, and I don't know if he has received any rewards.

At the other end of the road, there were suddenly sounds of horse hooves.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and suddenly several riders rushed over.

However, it was the village riders under Jizong who ran over and shouted loudly.

"Captain, thief, there are many thieves in front of me. I know the leader, Wang Yi, the nephew of the old man Wang."

When the villagers heard that there were thieves, they suddenly became in chaos. Some people ran in panic and some children cried.

Luo Chengzong swept around.

They just left Nanshan Village, and there was no village in front or shop behind. They were nearly twenty miles away from the county town.

"Don't panic, we'll face the enemy here, let everyone push the car outside into a circle, the villagers stay inside, and the soldiers guard behind the car."

Wang Yi was Wang Yong's cousin. He used to be a bad reputation in the village. He was also a little overlord because of the power of the Wang family. Later, Wang Yong became a thief and implicated the Wang family. The Wang family was confiscated, but Wang Yi fled.

Now he has brought hundreds of bandits and bandits to Wang Yong's vanguard and returned to Changbai Township, Zhangqiu, Qi County. He was going to seek revenge on the Luo family.

As a result, the Luo family had already run away.

He ordered a fire to burn the Luo family in Nanshan Village and then led people to chase after him.

The people were still in chaos, but the sound of horse hooves behind them was getting closer and closer.

Several veterans from Yier Camp over there came, "When these villagers settle down, they probably will be waiting for the cold. The bandits will arrive soon. We can't wait anymore. We can only throw these people here first, and we will go to the front to meet the enemy."

Chengzong looked at the chaotic and disorderly people, "But there is no danger here. If we don't rely on the chariot array, we are afraid we won't be able to defend it."

"Then push the cart forward." A veteran shouted.

He was a veteran of Zhang Xutuo in the past. Later, he followed Luo Cheng and later Luo Cheng went to Liaodong, leaving several veterans as the instructors of Yier Camp.

Chengzong nodded quickly and called out the local brave men who were obviously panicked.

But about half a quarter of an hour, the bandits appeared.

Wang Yi rushed over with about 300 people, about fifty riders, and the rest were not horseless. These people were carrying swords and guns, and carrying robbed money on their backs. Seeing the local warriors blocking the road with vehicles and then scheming behind the vehicles, they just laughed at them with disdain.

Although they were not many, they walked all the way through counties and counties and almost felt like they were in a state of no one. No officer or soldier dared to intercept them actively. They all hid if they could, and avoid if they could.

"Luo Er, do you still recognize me?" Wang Yi sat down and shouted loudly.

Luo Chengzong looked at the number of people on both sides and frowned.

At this time, Shan Binbin rode his horse over, "Second brother, who is that?"

"Wang Yi, the nephew of Wang Laogui next door was Wang Bodang's cousin."

Shan Binbin nodded, "He is the leader of this group of thieves?"

"It seems yes."

Binbin nodded, "Second brother, go up and talk to him. I'll find a chance to shoot him down, so that the thieves will be in the lead."

Although Chengzong knew that these five brothers and sisters had good martial arts skills, he still didn't believe that she had this ability.

"Second brother, listen to me."

"Oh well."

Chengzong reluctantly rode forward.

"Wang Yi, since you have escaped, why should you come back? Are you not afraid of the government arresting you?"

"Catch me, I'm here. If you have the ability, come and catch me!" Wang Yi said arrogantly.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Shan Binbin had already shot an arrow. The arrow suddenly came, and a arrow shot into his mouth and penetrated his mind.
