Chapter 461 The oriole is behind
The bandits lying in ambush in the woods were naturally people from Liangshan.

Azhu, Murong Fu and others who had disguised themselves were also among them.

There were ten Liangshan leaders, each commanding fifty people, totaling five hundred people. Azhu even served as the commander-in-chief in the name of Wu Yong.

She was smart to begin with, and had learned a lot in the past few days, so she was able to play the role of Wu Yong quite well. As soon as she opened her mouth, the bandit spirit came out.

"Sir, how about leaving some money for the brothers to drink?"

There was no money for food and drinks, and the only things the soldiers could offer were the weapons in their hands.

"kill!"

After a decisive battle, the leading officer finally calmed down and commanded the soldiers to fight.

When an army fights and wants to surround the enemy, without considering other conditions, there must be a difference in troop strength of at least three times in order to have a chance of winning.

The leading officer did not know this. He only knew that the number of the enemies in front of him was not much different from theirs, but in terms of weapons and equipment, theirs were more sophisticated.

Although we are surrounded now, if we give it a try, we may still have a chance of winning.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting broke out in the forest.

For money and life, both sides, the bandits and the army, engaged in a melee.

Shouts, the sounds of weapons clashing, and fistfights all broke out in unison, and in the blink of an eye a melee involving thousands of people broke out.

Soon, the gap in strength between the two sides became apparent.

The Song Dynasty valued civil officials over military officials, so the soldiers in the army were mostly idle and neglected training on weekdays. When they fought against the bandits, their shortcomings were immediately revealed.

On the other hand, the bandits in Liangshan are completely different. Since Chao Gai took over Liangshan, the bandits have been trained and educated by Wu Yong and Lin Chong for several years.

Wu Yong was well-versed in military tactics, and Lin Chong was a former instructor of the imperial guards in Beijing. With the cooperation of these two men, the Liangshan bandits were not all strong and powerful, but they were definitely much stronger than those soldiers who were just sitting there doing nothing.

In addition, at this time the Liangshan bandits were the attacking side and the soldiers were the defending side, and there was a big gap in morale.

In less than a moment, the army was defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, many soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered, or turned around and fled deep into the forest.

Half an hour later...

"Military Advisor, the inventory has been completed. This time we..."

A leader came to Ah Zhu and began to report the results of the attack.

On the Liangshan side, more than twenty brothers and one leader were killed, and more than fifty were injured;

As for the enemy, about a hundred men were killed or wounded, about two hundred surrendered, and the remaining hundred fled;
Three horse-drawn carriages and fifteen large boxes loaded with goods were seized, as well as hundreds of standard weapons and three sets of armor.

Such an outcome can be described as a complete victory.

Ah Zhu looked at Murong Fu who was not far away. Seeing that he was smiling and seemed quite satisfied, she felt relieved a lot. However, she pretended to be sad on her face.

"Collect the bodies of our brothers and burn them on the spot, then we will prepare to go back."

"……Yes."

Soon, a group of Liangshan bandits piled up all the people who died here today, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, and then set them on fire.

According to the rules of Liangshan, if an ordinary brother dies, there are only two ways to deal with it, either expose the body in the wilderness or burn it locally; but if the leader dies, the body must be brought back for a proper burial.

Now their choice is local incineration.

There was only one exception, and that was the leader of Liangshan.

Logically speaking, anyone who can reach the position of a leader should be quite strong, at least he should be able to "keep three or five people at bay with just a pair of fists".

Looking at the leader's corpse, the thieves were filled with emotion and kept talking -

"I didn't expect that even the seventeenth chief would die. This is just a battle involving a thousand men."

"I'm not gossiping on purpose, it's just that Chief Seventeen's abilities are indeed not as good as those of the other chiefs. He couldn't even beat me, so it's normal for him to die."

"Shut up! What if the other leaders hear you? Will it be good for you?"

"You tell me, now that the Seventeenth Leader is dead, do we have a chance..."

The thieves' whispered discussions could be hidden from others, but not from Murong Fu who was always paying attention to them. His eyes passed over the thieves around him and finally fell on the leader who ranked 17th among the bandits, with a sneer on his face.

In fact, as the bandits said, although the seventeenth leader was not very capable, he was still a leader after all, and he would not easily sacrifice himself in a war of this level.

The reason why that person died was because the person who did it was Murong Fu!
His goal was to eliminate the original leaders of Liangshan one by one, and then replace them with his own people, and finally completely control the entire Liangshan!
not to mention……

If the number of leaders decreases, won’t the remaining people get more money?
They first fought with the army, then counted the results of the battle and dealt with the corpses. By the time the Liangshan bandits set out for the mountain, two hours had passed.

At this time, most of the group's physical strength had been consumed, and even Murong Fu showed fatigue in his eyes.

It would be fine if he was just physically and mentally exhausted, but for some reason, Murong Fu had a vague feeling that things were not that simple.

As expected, what you fear will come true. Just when the people of Liangshan walked out of the Daye Forest...

Bang——! !

With a loud bang, another four or five hundred people jumped out from the roadside and surrounded them!
Oh no, I’m being robbed by a gangster!

Murong Fu was suddenly startled and his brows furrowed.

The other Liangshan bandits were also surprised. They did not expect that someone was lying in ambush outside the forest and plotting against them.

"I wonder which road this good man is from?"

"Do you know that we are from Liangshan?!"

Ah Zhu stepped forward and tried to bring up the name of "Liangshan" in the hope of scaring the other party away.

Unfortunately, the other party's next answer made her heart sink.

"What the hell is Liangshan? A bunch of wild dogs who only know how to kill and burn people are worthy of knowing Grandpa's name?"

"Leave your things behind if you know what's best for you, or we will kill you with our swords!"

Being insulted in public, if he does not take action now, people will only look down on the entire Liangshan in the future.

Ah Zhu continued to play the role of Wu Yong and said angrily: "I'm not afraid of you? Brothers, let's fight together!"

At the command, the dispute broke out again.

The people who ambushed Liangshan outside the Daye Forest were exactly the ones Lu Ping saw a few nights ago, that is, the people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under the Lingjiu Palace.

In the melee, Boss Wu felt something was wrong.

"What's going on? These bandits seem to have more physical strength than expected?"

The cave master An who was standing nearby retreated and said with a heavy breath, "We miscalculated. The people from Lianyun Village haven't arrived yet. These thieves still have a lot of energy left."

No wonder……

"What should I do? Should I withdraw?"

"You can't retreat!"

Boss Wu's face darkened slightly, and he shouted, "At this point, we are already on the edge of a tiger's back. If we can't get our things back, who among us will have a good ending?"

Thinking of being beaten by the Child-Fairy of Tianshan and even being tortured by the Life and Death Talisman because of not being able to hand in the offerings, all the cave masters and island masters turned pale. They immediately turned their fear and grief into fighting power and began to hack at the thieves around them without hesitation.

However, Murong Fu and others recognized the identities of Wu Lao Da and his men when they saw them.

At first, he was curious about how these people who rarely appeared in the underworld suddenly appeared all of a sudden. Now, after hearing what they said, he became even more suspicious.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely stop and find out what was going on.

But now he is the leader of Liangshan. No matter what secrets the other party has, since they have become hostile, he cannot hold back at least on the surface.

However, considering that if these cave masters and island masters gathered together, they would become a considerable force, Murong Fu had another plan in mind.

That is to repel these people first, bring these treasures back to Liangshan, gain a firm foothold in Liangshan, and then help them get the things out with his original identity and do these people a favor.

By doing this, one's reputation will rise...

Thinking of this, Murong Fu began to slow down his attack.
