    Long Gang glanced at Chen Lu and said nothing. He already knew the deputy envoy of the imperial court, and then he checked the terrain.  The granary is at a high place, and the enemy will run towards the official army, because this is the official road, and it is also the only way for these soldiers to pass.  It's just that the terrain Long Gang is on is too low, so he will definitely suffer heavy losses in a fight.  Long just wanted to go to a higher place, but he was afraid that they would run away here.

    By this time the thieves had discovered them, and a few people came out to observe for a while, and then went in again.  Long Gangang gave the order and asked Hu Chun to lead a general banner to the high ground behind to ambush him. He took the first general banner to select the terrain, prepared muskets and serial crossbows, and asked Han Liu'er to invite Chen Lu to the back.

    Chen Lu did not refuse, and consciously stepped back ten feet away, observing the other party.  He knew very well that he did not understand military affairs and was gesticulating on the battlefield, which would affect Long Gang's judgment.  Long Gang didn't know him very well. He, a civil servant standing at the forefront, would definitely distract Long Gang.

    After a while, a group of Mongolian soldiers ran out from inside and crouched down on the hillside, bows and arrows drawn, waiting for the order to fight.  Following closely behind were several Mongolians wearing helmets and armor, shouting in Mongolian: "We are just borrowing food, we don't want to kill anyone, don't cause trouble, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

    Long Gang also replied in Mongolian: "Your loyal and obedient prince has always had a good relationship with the court. Why do you come here to kill people and steal food?"

    "The prince sent us here. As for why, we don't know, and we won't ask. We just need to do the prince's errands. I think the prince has no choice. He can't open the pot, and the prince's mansion has run out of food. Let's transport these back first.  When we collect the food and grass, we will return it to you. Now get out of the way and we will not embarrass you."

    Long Gang ran to Chen Lu and reported: "They are soldiers of the loyal and shun king Mahamu. What should we do?"

    Chen Lu has been thinking about this issue. Mahamu has always been very deferential to the court. The Holy Emperor named him the loyal and obedient king. They also set up horse markets and maintained friendly relations with each other. How could he do this?  On the other hand, Benyashili, a Tatar, has always been at odds with the court and has fought several battles. It is said that the reason for this personal expedition was because the Tatar was too jumpy. It is unknown whether the Tatar put the blame on others.

    Chen Lu said to Long Gang: "It may not be King Zhongshun. Long Gang, what should I do if there is nothing at this time. If they want to break in, just say hello. You are the coach and you have the final say."

    At this time, more than two hundred Mongolian soldiers rushed down the hillside.  They were all infantry. Needless to say, the horses were all used to carry food.  They were obviously surprised to see these soldiers here. They got the information that there were no troops stationed in Kanhe Town.

    More than 200 of them formed a formation and charged downward. The distance between the formations was too large. More than 200 people were scattered in a square formation more than two miles wide, basically trampling the crops.

    Long Gang knew that the opponent had a battle-hardened general. In such a formation, it would be difficult for serial crossbows and fire guns to work. Moreover, they must have found that there were not many troops here, otherwise they would be immediately defeated by a counterattack.

    The bandit soldiers gave an order and started shooting arrows while walking and making a noise to advance. Some of the soldiers of the mission were shot, but the distance was too far and the injuries were not serious.  This is just like what is usually said, the final force of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Zhen.

    Long Gang observed and saw that the shooting distance was enough. He ordered the arrows to be released. A shower of arrows hit several people.  The traitor soldiers retreated and stood there waiting for orders.  Another group of troops attacked the hillside, and they had already discovered the ambush behind them.  But this group of officers and soldiers occupied a favorable terrain, and with a hail of arrows, the bandits retreated.  This is just a small test to see if it is consistent with my own judgment.

    The thieves and soldiers discovered that the officers and soldiers really only had such a small number of troops. They felt relieved and felt confident. They gave up the attack behind them and put out a warning.  The intention was very obvious, just stop the officers and soldiers without stabbing them in the back. They attacked with all their strength below to seize the way.

    Chen Lu counted the time. An hour had passed. If everything goes well, reinforcements from Qianhusuo should arrive in half an hour.  So he sent one of his own soldiers back to the main camp. If Qianhu's soldiers arrived, he would bring them here.  The soldiers took the order and left.

    The attacking thieves reached a stone's throw again. This time Long Gang gave the order and used the serial crossbow to knock down dozens of people at once. However, the thieves did not stop and kept attacking until they saw that they were within range.  Long Gang gave an order, and the crossbowmen retreated to reload their arrows. More than twenty muskets were fired in bursts, and another batch of thieves fell.  This earth-shattering sound startled the thieves, and they quickly retreated and fell on the ground.

    The thief officer waved his flag, and the team on the hillside immediately divided into half and pressed against Long Gang.  Long Gang was not in a hurry and asked everyone to load lead bullets. He only needed to hold them back, and there was no need to risk his life with them.

    The thieves obviously saw Long Gang's intention. They couldn't afford to delay and ordered a strong attack.  The thieves marched forward one after another, trampling on their own comrades.?The corpses continued to advance, and behind them, the supervisory team killed several retreating bandit soldiers, and they rushed towards the official position with roaring noises.

    Long just waved the flag to Hu Chun on the slope, and the officers and soldiers on the slope suddenly rushed down and fired at the thieves with firecrackers.  The terrain was favorable for the officers and soldiers, and the rebels could not resist and quickly withdrew into the granary compound.

    The officers and soldiers on the slope retreated again, lying there to monitor the compound.  The thieves below were affected and retreated to a stone's throw away.

    About a quarter of an hour later, another group of bandits rushed out from the granary compound and divided into two teams. One group sent a warning to Hu Chun's tribe on the slope, and the other group rushed down to join the bandits.  Others led horses and camels, and formed a long queue outside the compound, with their horses' heads facing the official road.  The officers riding horses and wielding knives also appeared outside the courtyard.

    Chen Lu saw Yin Ji and Li Wenguan Chahan, who were also dragged out and tied to the back of the carriage.  Long Gang obviously saw it too, and looked back. Chen Lu nodded, indicating that he had seen it.

    Suddenly, the horns of the thieves rang sobbing, the thief soldiers rushed over, and the team began to move. The team on the slope was still the officer and soldiers of Hu Chun.

    Long Gang saw it. These thieves didn't want to be entangled anymore and wanted to risk a breakout. They already knew that there were only a few officers and soldiers, and even if Long Gang had three heads and six arms, they couldn't stop them.  Long Gang heard Chen Lu shouting to retreat, so he ordered the retreat. The officers and soldiers withdrew to the trench next to the official road and continued to resist.

    These traitors and soldiers did not give the officers and soldiers a chance to breathe, and followed them closely.  Their goal was very clear, to seize Shangguan Road and flee north.

    At this critical moment, the reinforcements guarding Qianhu Station arrived.  Long Gang took a look and saw that there were about five hundred people, and he breathed a sigh of relief.  The officers and soldiers of Qianhusuo rushed over from the flank. The rebels were so frightened that they fled thousands of miles away. They were defeated like a mountain and retreated to the granary compound.  They must have built fortifications outside the granary because the yard could not accommodate so many people, horses and vehicles.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
