Chapter 145 Cutting Wheat

One mile away from the manor.

The fierce bandit commander of the tax department's army ordered the army to stop.

However, during this process, he ordered five hundred selected elites to hide in the mountains and forests with divine machine crossbows, and carefully hid them.

His plan is clear.

That is to fake defeat and lure the guards of the manor into pursuit.

When he arrived at the ambush place, he fired a volley of divine machine crossbows to disrupt the formation of the manor guards. After completing this, he led a large group of people who had deceived and fled to fight back.

There was a slight change in the plan, from using the cavalry as bait to using the entire army as bait.

Because the general felt that when the cavalry was defeated, since the men of the manor guard did not pursue them, they were obviously targeting their main force, so he used a trick to complete the plan.

for this situation.

Naturally, there was no way to escape Lin Fan's supervision.

But he didn't pay attention to anything. No matter what the other party did, the result would be the same.

It's just a garrison for a county.

If all these things cannot be promoted horizontally, how can we challenge the entire imperial court?

The commander on the opposite side didn't know that he was just a warm-up cannon fodder from beginning to end. When the arranged plan was going smoothly, he showed a hint of success.

"On the real battlefield, it's not just about strength, it also depends on the art of war!"

The general hummed proudly and glanced at the general beside him.

The general didn't say anything about this, but looked at the moving army seriously.

In order to achieve the best lure effect, there were no bells and whistles in this lure operation. A total of four thousand neat troops, with the support of the cavalry, directly launched a charge towards the manor, and the whole thing was impressive.

An army of four thousand soldiers.

This doesn't sound like much.

But when they were actually gathered together, it was like a huge crowd, just like a school assembly. As far as the eye could see, they were filled with towering heads, and there was huge movement with every step they took.

The shouts of killing were mixed together, and they had the potential to break through the sky.

in this nearby area.

In addition to Lin Fan's manor, there are also many manors owned by wealthy families.

At this time, they heard the deafening shouts of killing. They were so frightened that they trembled and ordered their servants to close the door tightly. They didn't even have the courage to watch the excitement.

It is no secret in this area that Lin Fan, the owner of the manor, violently resisted the payment of the poll tax. After all, there were many government servants following him at the time. They drank two ounces of horse urine when they went back and shook it all out.

Now, with this terrifying cry of killing, you don’t have to think twice to know that it is the troops from the Department of Taxation coming to kill you.

"It is rumored that Master Lin has a lot of strength. I wonder if he can stop him?"

Although they didn't dare to watch it, many people couldn't help but be curious.

"It's difficult. The army of the Department of Taxation is an elite force. They often attack some big forces. Whenever they go out, they never fail to wipe out the target."

Someone sighed and answered.

It wasn't that he was familiar with Lin Fan, but it was rare to find such a good man who dared to resist the poll tax. He would soon be exterminated, which naturally caused many people to sigh.

"This is the truth, but who can know it until the end?"

Someone put forward a different view, it was an old man with gray hair.

"Oh? Could it be that Gang Leader Tie Lao knows some inside information?"

The people who were discussing looked at the old man, with gossip in their eyes.

"Stop for now, I'll clarify again today that the Surabaya Gang has been disbanded long ago, and I have retired long ago and am no longer the leader of the gang!"

The gray-haired old man said with a serious expression.

The person who put forward a different opinion was the old gang leader Tie who had iron legs and was extremely firm in his words.

"Haha, it's just a title, don't take it too seriously, right?"

Someone replied with a smile.

"No, this is very important. I declare again that the Surabaya Gang has been disbanded and I am not a gang leader!"

Gang Leader Tie Lao looked more serious, even with a warning in his eyes.

He was nothing outside, but in Tianfeng County, a small area of ​​​​3 acres, Iron Legs Floating Water still had quite a reputation. At this time, a warning was issued, and even though some people murmured in their hearts, no one mentioned it again.

However, they do not understand that it is just an honorific title. Is it necessary to be so taboo about it?

Gang leader Tie Lao did not explain.

People who have never really experienced it will never understand the pain in his heart.

This title,

He has been suffering for a long time!

"Since Master Tie asked us not to mention it, let's not mention it and return to the topic just now."

Someone came out to smooth things over.

Naturally, the people present had no objection to this situation.

They happened to get together today. There was a banquet hosted by the master of the manor, and they happened to come to the banquet. All the people who came were decent people, so naturally there wouldn't be any stupid people.

The topic of the old gang leader is over.

Soon I returned to the original topic.

Gang Leader Tie Lao still reserves his own opinions on this topic.

Regarding this inexplicable optimism, someone made a suggestion, or a bet.

"Since Mr. Tie is so optimistic about it, why don't we just take a gamble?"

A middle-aged man with a goatee looked at everyone and suggested.

"What kind of bet?"

Others became interested in this sudden proposal.

Goatee smiled and said: "It's very simple. Don't you all have different opinions now? Why don't we split our bets and bet on whether your views are correct or whether Old Man Tie's views are correct on this big event."

"good idea!"

"Can."

The others all nodded in agreement, and Gang Leader Tie Lao did not object.

But compared to other people who were not optimistic about the bet, he directly bet to be optimistic, and he bet most of his family's wealth, and slapped a full five thousand taels of silver notes in front of Goatee.

Goatee was frightened at the opening. The promising odds were two to one. If he lost to Gang Leader Tie Lao, he would have to pay a full ten thousand taels.

Fortunately, there are quite a few people who are not optimistic about buying from the other side, and the total amount is almost the same.

According to the odds.

No matter who wins or loses, he will make a small profit this time.

After calculating the numbers in his mind, Goatee suddenly laughed happily.

Originally, they were afraid of causing unreasonable disaster, so they all planned to stay in the current manor. However, with this huge bet, they naturally couldn't sit still.

Under the leadership of Gang Leader Tie Lao, the group quickly climbed up a hill with a good view. It was like eating a Gai Zhong Gai. The speed even put young people to shame.

But I just came up,

They saw a scene they would never forget.

I saw the army in front of them shouting to kill Zhentian. As they approached Lin Fan's manor, they fell down in rows like wheat.

The two sides were obviously separated by tens of meters, but these tens of meters were like the realm of death. Regardless of cavalry or infantry, everyone who stepped into this area fell down.

Even the tenacious horse kept falling over.

It just happened in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that a large area of ​​the charging army had been swept away.

Those behind could not see the situation and were still rushing, but those seen in the front were full of fear and desperately wanted to push back, colliding hard with those rushing forward.

In order to avoid being pushed forward, some people even used knives to chop at their companions who were pushing them, mercilessly.

He would rather kill his companions than take a step forward. Such a weird scene made the several gamblers who happened to see this scene all bewildered.

What kind of magical operation is this?

Aren’t the troops directly under the Department of Taxation the elites of the imperial court?
