In order to fight the Ming army, Luo Zhixue has made sufficient preparations in recent times.

He had someone built a solid valley fortification. In order to make sure the enemy attacked around the path, he even extended the defense line to both sides. At the same time, he set up checkpoints in some surrounding defense lines that could not be deployed to monitor and intercept the enemy's small forces.

He also cut down all the trees in front of the valley to create an open area to bring combat effectiveness for the cavalry.

He also did a lot of preparations in other aspects.

For example, we collected enough food, arrows and other consumables, and even prepared a batch of spare swords and spears.

Luo Zhixue was ready to try to block the coming Ming army.

If you can't stop it...

Since there are plans and preparations for defensive operations, there are naturally preparations for being unable to escape.

If he really can't stand it, Luo Zhixue would not wait for death in Songshan, but would directly retreat with his troops, and would bring Song Blacksmith and other craftsmen with him before leaving.

He had prepared four routes for retreat, including those heading towards the Lu family in the west, those heading north, and even those heading east, directly to the hinterland of the Ruzhou Plain, or south to the hinterland of the Nanyang Plain.

The last two choices are purely because Luo Zhixue now has hundreds of cavalry under his command. If it is really critical, for example, when the roads in the north and west are blocked by the officers and soldiers, and they cannot continue to drill into the valley to get rid of the officers and soldiers.

He could only give up infantry, artillery and even baggage, and rushed out of the mountains with his cavalry.

At that time, as long as you are more flexible and not blocked by the Ming army's cavalry, you can also break through the more dangerous Ruzhou or Nanyang Prefecture area, and then find your next stop to cultivate and rest.

Luo Zhixue made sufficient preparations for this battle.

No matter if he can beat him or not, he has corresponding solutions.

Just when Luo Zhixue was sitting in the final preparation, Huang Guangmao also brought the army into Songshan and came to the front of the Songshan defense line deployed by Luo Zhixue.

Although the sentry he sent out had been intercepted and expelled many times before, as he added the scale of a single group of sentry, he finally figured out the general situation in Songshan.

There were indeed thieves over there, and many of them were built directly on Songshan. It seemed that they wanted to rely on Songshan to fight stubbornly, so he hesitated and directly led the army to kill him.

Huang Guangmao looked at the Songshan defense line in front of him and said for a moment: "Overbial power!"

A sentry officer beside Huang Guangmao also said: "That is, if these thieves run away when they see us, we may not be able to catch up!"

"However, these thieves actually want to have sex with us in Songshan, so they are afraid they will be too old!"

"How can these few wooden walls block us!"

Huang Guangmao ignored his subordinates and ordered directly: "Send the order, the army began to camp and rest, continue to send out posts to find out the sides, find out if there are any other paths to go around, send out external guards to prevent sneak attacks from happening in the thief army."

Although Huang Guangmao said that the thief army opposite was overestimating his ability, he did not despise it. Instead, he chose to be more cautious and continued to send sentry detectives to see if there were any ambushing, set up external guards, and strictly prevent sneak attacks.

They even sent people to find the paths they walked around.

If you can find a path to go around, and send a team of elite troops to sneak over and launch a fierce attack directly on the back of the enemy!

After Huang Guangmao made the order, Wang Jida came soon after.

At this moment, Wang Jida finally came over without a sedan chair, but dragged his fat body directly over.

"Huang Dusi, the thief army is right in front of us. It is the time to make achievements, why did you stop?"

Wang Jida expressed a little dissatisfied: "I see that those thieves have only one or two hundred people, and they rely on only a few wooden walls. Our army has a thousand soldiers. It is easy to take down this thief. Now it's time to stop. What if the thief army escapes like this?"

Huang Guangmao was unhappy when he heard Wang Jida’s words!

This bastard doesn't understand anything, but he likes to point fingers. He either has opinions here or has dissatisfaction there every day.

When Wang Jida was chasing and marching before, the influence was limited, so most of Huang Guangmao obeyed.

However, the bandit army was right in front of him, and Wang Jida was very upset when Huang Guangmao was still pointing fingers.

But even if he was unhappy inside, he still had to suppress his anger and squeeze out a smile and said, "What the county magistrate said is very much. This time I am strong and weak, so it will be no problem to take down this thief."

"But our soldiers are already exhausted for more than a month and need a rest and a second. Although they can win directly in battle, they may not suffer any casualties."

"In addition, I saw the Songshan bandits opposite, built a large wooden wall barracks, and they were newly built. I should want to block us here and not escape easily."

"Even if they run away, we can catch up in time."

"Don't worry, Wangxianzun, you won't miss it."

Huang Guangmao said that, but he was not sure whether the bandits on the opposite side would run away. After all, thousands of people on his side were placed here, so it was normal for the bandits on the opposite side to flee when they saw it.

But for Huang Guangmao, it doesn’t matter whether the bandits run away or not.

If the bandits do not run away, he will be killed later.

If the bandits ran away, they would chase after them and then go deep into the hinterland of Funiu Mountain to collect food and grass.

He can rob food without fighting. In fact, Huang Guangmao hopes that this is the case. After all, he is unwilling to lose any damage to his soldiers.

However, Wang Jida stared at Huang Guangmao with his small eyes.

The eyes that came out of those little eyes were gradually getting colder.

Huang Guangmao entered the mountain for food. He didn't care much about whether he could kill the thieves, but Wang Jida cared about it.

Although Wang Jida and Huang Guangmao entered Funiu Mountain again for food at the beginning, they were also to obtain some heads.

After discovering hundreds of thieves around Funiu Mountain, Wang Jida's attention was already on these thieves.

He wants the food, grass and wealth in Funiu Mountain, and he wants the heads of these thieves even more!

Therefore, Huang Guangmao stopped moving forward and gave the thief army a chance to escape, which made Wang Jida very dissatisfied.

According to Wang Jida's idea, he waited for a while and rushed forward to kill, killed the brain in front of him, and then cut off the head.

With the heads of these hundreds of thieves, plus the hundreds of heads obtained by ambushing the Titan's troops before, and then spending money to move, Wang Jida guessed that he could move the position under his butt upwards.

As for the more than a thousand Ming troops who were exhausted after marching continuously, they might suffer serious casualties when launching direct attacks.

This is nothing to do with Wang Jida!

It has nothing to do with Huang Guangmao's soldiers' death. They are not the soldiers under him, and they are also related to him. He is not even Huang Guangmao's military supervisor...

From the beginning, he only relied on his superior civil servant status to force Huang Guangmao to respect him.

In fact, strictly speaking, they have no unity and are not even considered friendly forces.

Because Wang Jida is not a military general, he does not lead troops, so he naturally cannot be called a friendly army.

What? You said he has hundreds of county heroes under his command. These county heroes are the villagers who protect themselves and suppress the thieves, which has nothing to do with him.

Even if these hundreds of county lords die, it doesn’t matter if they die. These county lords have no record of reporting. They are all the villagers he privately called in the name of a county magistrate and then asked someone to recruit them in private. It doesn’t matter if they die.

If it really doesn't work, he summoned hundreds of counties to make up for it. Who knew that hundreds of counties died during their march into Funiu Mountain?

Just kidding, how could we have casualties? We have zero casualties fighting, okay!

It's really not possible, and if things are going to be a big deal, Wang Jida has some tricks!

He directly put all the hats of the defeated and serious casualties on Huang Guangmao's head, and then he brought a few friends of the same year to impeach and create momentum. He didn't know whether Huang Guangmao would be asked to behead him, but Wang Jida had absolutely nothing.

Anyway, for Wang Jida, if he fights now, he will not lose even if he loses a crushing defeat, but if he wins, he will make a big profit.

Very stable!

On the contrary, if he doesn't fight now and the thieves on the opposite side run away, he will not be able to catch a single head.

Therefore, Wang Jida put pressure on Huang Guangmao without hesitation: "It's too early, so you can attack the bandits to prevent the bandits from escaping, or does Huang Dusi have to sit and watch the bandits flee without moving?"

While talking, Wang Jida stared at him with his small eyes.

Wang Jida behind him looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. Although he didn't say anything, both sides knew that there would be nothing good.

Huang Guangmao was silent. He knew very well that if he offended this person, he might not be able to get it well, and he might even face disaster.

A few seconds or ten seconds later, Huang Guangmao still whispered: "What Wangxian Zun said is very good. I didn't think carefully before the humble position, so I will continue to arrange it now."

He was just a military general who came from a thousand families and had a small Dusi. He really couldn't afford to offend Wang Jida, a civil servant who was born in Jinshi. Although he seemed to be just a seventh-rank county magistrate and a sesame official, his political energy was much greater than that of him, and neither was on the same level.

Otherwise, why did he be so respectful to Wang Jida along the way, even if he didn't fight back or scold him, he would have to be matched with a smile?

I really can't afford to offend!

Seeing Huang Guangmao arrange the offensive matter, Wang Jida nodded slightly and looked at Huang Guangmao's back with a hint of contempt.

These lowly martial artists are all mean and always want to be scammers and do not put some pressure on them, and they don’t know how to share the worries of the emperor and be loyal to the country. Before, I even said angrily that you dare to argue, and you don’t know how to be inferior if you don’t slap you!

Nowadays, chaos is everywhere, and these lowly warriors are inactive.

When Huang Guangmao walked over and began to arrange combat matters for his subordinates, he also cursed in his heart: Bastard, don’t let me catch the opportunity, otherwise I will be you sooner or later!
