Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 187 Fang La’s mother is a thief, and her mother gave birth to Fang Jie!
The water fort had been cleared, and there was also a raging fire at the water fort dock.

In the north, the reinforcements from Wulongling had already arrived. There were about 5,000 of them, all infantry, 400 to 500 armored soldiers, and 70 to 80 cavalry.

They were lined up in formation and slowly approaching, and Zhu Tong also lined up in formation to fight back.

Wu Song had already rushed to the central army. The scene was not big. The number of government troops who landed on the shore was no more than 3,000 people in total. He should ask Wu Yasi how to continue the battle.

It’s not because Wu Yasi’s official position is very high, but Wu Song has now learned his brother’s way of doing things. Before going to war, he should ask for the opinions of military advisors.

Wu Song asked loudly: "Sir, the enemy's water stronghold is gone, how are we going to fight this battle?"

Wu Yong bowed and replied, "To the commander, the water fort has been breached, so we just need to sound the horn and board the boat. But now that the enemy reinforcements have arrived, it will be difficult to board the boat if we don't defeat them..."

Wu Song nodded: "Yes, that's the truth. Zhu has 1,500 men, and the enemy has 5,000 men, 400 to 500 of them are in armor. Can he defeat them?"

Although Wu Song looks unruly and heartless, he is actually a smart man.

He asked this question because he knew that Wu Yong and his group should pledge their allegiance to the army. The trust between soldiers was built with their lives.

In other words, Zhu Tong should lead a group of former bandits to fight to the death for General Su. If they do this, things will be easier in the future. Not to mention others, Wu Song will also look up to them.

Therefore, the deeper meaning of Wu Song's question to Wu Yong was actually whether Zhu Tong dared to lead 1,500 former bandits as the main force to fight the enemy army.

Wu Yong immediately responded: "Please ask Commander Wu to lead the charge!"

Wu Song smiled when he heard this. He was very satisfied with the answer and nodded: "Okay, I will lead my soldiers to line up and support the battle!"

Having said that, Wu Song turned around and left, began to call out to his subordinates, and then formed the battle line.

Defeat is absolutely impossible. Wu Song is very confident. He just takes the two battalions of 1,000-man Xianzhen Camp with him. Even if there are millions of bandits, he, Wu Song, dares to rush up and fight them from beginning to end.

What are you doing today?
Just watch and see if Zhu Tong risks his life!

Zhu Tong has 1,500 armored soldiers, so he should be able to beat the 5,000 bandit reinforcements to pieces!

If Zhu Tong wins, he will be his brother in the future. If Zhu Tong fails to win today and retreats and runs away, his brothers should know that these old thieves are really useless and are of no use!
Of course, there is one more thing Wu Song can do, which is to clean up the mess, chase the fleeing enemies, and capture a few more prisoners for his brother. I forgot about this just now...

After forming the battle array, Wu Song waited. Behind him, Wu Yong had already sounded the drum. Two or three hundred steps ahead, Zhu Tong, with fifteen hundred men in armor, had already started to move forward.

At present, there is no shortage of armor in the two armies of Jingdong. Most of them are made by themselves, and many are allocated by Tong Guan from the Privy Council. There are also too many spoils of war, and they even give away armor as gifts.

The main reason is that the soldiers under Su Wu's command are really not many. Adding the combat soldiers, and two to three thousand auxiliary soldiers, there are only a little over ten thousand now.

Another four to five thousand auxiliary troops were recruited from various parts of Huzhou and even from the surrounding provincial capitals.

This was almost all of Su Wu's belongings. As for those left in Jingdong, there were not many, only about 2,000 people. Then there were the regular navy, almost all of which were here, only about 6,000 to 7,000 people.

Adding up all the numbers, including auxiliary troops and naval forces, there are only a little over 20,000 of them.

Therefore, Xu Guanzhong said that expanding the military was the top priority. Su Wu, with his two routes, could only gather so few troops.

Xu Guanzhong was actually very worried about the upcoming war against Liao. Even at this scale, it was obviously a little small, which made people feel a little uneasy.

For Su Wu, the more the better. Putting aside the auxiliary troops and the navy, as for the combat troops, 30,000 is not too few, and 50,000 is not too many. If the number can be developed to 50,000, he can really go anywhere in the world and have true peace in his heart.

But according to Su Wu's method of managing the army, it would be extremely difficult to have an army of 50,000, and 30,000 would be a stretch.

The actual number of 20,000 is still far from it.

As for the allies that Su Wu can really use, Qin Ming is one, Zhang Qing is one, Suo Chao is one, and although the Jeju soldiers are not strong now, Zhang Shuye is managing them, so he will also be counted as one in the future.

Now, the Hedong Guansheng Hao Siwen tribe should also be counted as one.

Then there is Wang Bing. The task given to Wang Bing by Su Wu was to recruit 20,000 soldiers from Wuzhou. As long as the money and food were supplied, this would not be a difficult task for Wang Bing.

As for how money and food were supplied to Wang Bing, there were several sources. The money and food in the Privy Council was the basis, which was what should have been there. Su Wu's direct support was one of them. There was also the help from the prefectures of Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road. Both Tong Guan and Su Wu had this face...

Even the new prefect of Hangzhou in the future will do his best.

It would not be difficult to recruit these 20,000 Wuzhou soldiers. In Su Wu's heart, these 20,000 Wuzhou soldiers were his own direct subordinates, and he could truly rely on them when he went into battle in the future.

As for Liu Yanqing's subordinates in the northwest, they are also allies.

Judging from the current situation, Su Wu has become a giant in the army, at least his influence has reached this level.

Wu Song also understood the situation, and Su Wu never avoided telling him about these things.

He knew what his brother wanted now: merit, power, money, and captives. He also knew that his brother had opened a jade mine in Qingzhou, and that his brother would return home to open more mines...

Wu Song also began to learn from his brother and felt sorry for the soldiers under his command. The wealth of his brother's soldiers was hard-earned.

Just watch as Zhu Tong rushed forward. Neither side had cavalry, and the enemy's seventy or eighty cavalry were nothing in front of fifteen hundred armored soldiers.

When the two armies lined up to fight, the bandit army had about four or five hundred men in iron armor in the front, and those in gray cloth and linen clothes in the back.

Once they engaged in battle, all they did was hit their armors against each other.

Armor is a magical thing. It can make a not-so-brave person become braver. Knowing that he is protected by the armor and will not die from the enemy's swords, guns or arrows, he will dare to face the swords and guns.

It can make brave people become more unscrupulous and treat their armor as several extra lives. If they fight, they still have one life left, so they just have to fight.

As for those who are too cowardly, let's not talk about them. Armor is useless to them.

Zhu Tong was obviously not a cowardly person. He just rushed forward and hit the thieves one by one with the hammer in his hand.

This was his first time to fight for his country. He felt an inexplicable surge of blood in his heart and was extremely excited.

He seemed to know that he had few chances, and if he missed today, he would never have another chance in the future. He was inexplicably brave, and all he saw were bandits. He held a hammer in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, and he swung with all his strength.

The fight between armored warriors is not as exciting as a one-on-one fight.

Ding-dang and clang-clang, every huge force brings back a kind of vibration that makes people's arms numb.

There is not much blood and flesh flying around, nor are there many broken limbs. The person who falls to the ground will not die immediately, but the pain before death is so unbearable that his face becomes hideous.

Before death, you can't move much, the pain will last for a long time, you can see, feel, twitch slowly, your face turns purple and black, and you die slowly...

Sometimes, a hammer hits the cheek, blood and flesh fly, and the wailing sound is heartbreaking...

When they were bandits in the past, many men from the marshes thought they were heroes. Later, when they became government soldiers and received food and wages, they inexplicably felt inferior to the soldiers around them, and always felt that they were looked down upon by others.

Fortunately, life has become comfortable again. My parents, wife and children are living a normal life again without having to hide or escape.

I can't help but think that one day when I meet people again, I will no longer feel inferior to them. I will hold my head high and when I meet other soldiers while drinking in a restaurant, I will be able to chat and laugh openly...

Zhu said before that if we win this battle today, we can live and work uprightly, and no one will dare to look down on us anymore...

The men also understood the reason. The general might not trust them and think they were incompetent, so they wanted to prove themselves.

They are all from Shandong and have traveled thousands of miles to come here. We cannot bring shame to the Shandong people, and we cannot let the general lose face.

If the general really loses face this time, then after returning, whether he can make a living is secondary. He will spend the rest of his life in Jeju and Dongping Prefecture and will never be able to raise his head again. If this gets out, the people of Shandong will poke fun at him for the rest of their lives.

The general will not give a second chance.

Just listen to the commander Zhu in front of you shouting: "Follow me and kill!"

The many men did not shout or yell. The general had equipped them with good armor, so they just followed. As long as Commander Zhu did not retreat or show any fear, they would break even if they killed one, and profit if they killed two.

Speaking of which, the general has never rewarded himself when rewarding his soldiers.

This time, I deserved to be rewarded, right? In this way, I would not return empty-handed. When I return, I will not miss my parents, wife, and children too much. I will buy a sheep, a few bottles of wine, a few pairs of shoes for my father, and a few rolls of good cloth for my mother and wife. My children like to eat maltose...

If he knocked down another one, he would be very happy. He could buy a cow and an acre of land with this money.

Knock down another one, hahahaha…

The wife can get a few silver hairpins, a set of bracelets, and a necklace...

He smashed and smashed again, and he really became more and more excited. This thief is really not difficult to smash. He can get another two or three acres of land and renovate the house...

Not too far away, Wu Song was at ease, smiling slightly: "It's OK, it's not bad!"

Shi Xiu said, "Commander, are we still going to go up?"

In fact, behind Shi Xiu, many soldiers were extremely anxious. How could they not go? Why didn't their commander pick up the money?
Wu Song waved his hand and said, "No hurry, don't go now!"

The people behind him were all disappointed. Why did they join the trap camp? Apart from those emotional factors, the reason was that the general would give a lot of money to the first one to go into battle.

Why do you just watch others fight and not fight yourself?
Someone asked, "Commander-in-chief, my father asked for a good cypress coffin..."

Wu Song turned around and laughed: "What? You didn't even earn the cypress coffin?"

"Commander, don't we need to build a big house?"

Wu Song replied, "There are still many bandits. There is no need to rush this time. There are only a few of them. We must let others earn some. Otherwise, they will accuse us of being biased. If we earn all the money, how can we lead the army to fight in the future?"

Shi Xiu nodded and said, "That's the truth."

"Commander, we fight the armored thieves, and they fight the clothed thieves, isn't that good?"

"What's so good about that? I haven't even had a bite of meat yet. It's my first time eating meat, and you still want to snatch it. Wait!" Commander Wu had a bad temper and his tone was already impatient.

After hearing this, everyone around him kept silent. Never mind... He was also thinking that there were still many thieves, many more.

Just look at Zhu Tong's troops, they are advancing very quickly, and the enemy troops cannot move forward. If they don't move forward, they will be retreating. The situation is already clear.

Wu Song and others have all seen big scenes now, so the battle in front of them was a small scene in comparison. The many soldiers fighting in the battle formation were neither nervous nor anxious. They all had a leisurely mentality and were not even serious at all.

Seeing that the thieves were about to be defeated, Wu Song came and shouted: "Chase them, catch the thieves, don't kill them all, leave some, the general has work to do..."

Shi Xiu nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know!"

"It's enough rest, follow me!" Wu Song raised his arm and ran.

More than a thousand soldiers were breaking into the enemy's formation, and they were running very fast.

As soon as they saw these thousand armored soldiers moving forward, the enemy army immediately broke apart and turned around and ran away.

Even Jingde, the leader of the army, shouted, "Retreat to Wulong Ridge! Quickly, retreat to Wulong Ridge!"

The government troops were chasing them very fast, but the more than a thousand armored soldiers behind them were running even faster, and they caught up with them in an instant at a distance of three or four hundred steps.

When they start to kill, their methods are truly extremely brutal!
Wulong Ridge is not far away and is an important transportation route in Muzhou. The official road is a strategic point and is shaped like a saddle. There is a fort on the ridge. In the past, government troops were stationed here, but later they were driven away by Deng Yuanjue's troops, so Bai Qin was stationed here.

Wu Song just kept chasing and finally arrived at the foot of Wulong Ridge, which was quite steep.

I don't know how many people were killed, I just saw the bandits rushing towards Wulong Ridge, among which there were about 30,000 bandits, of course, the number is uncertain. Bai Qin saw his own defeated soldiers fleeing early, and also saw the armored government troops chasing them, and was hesitating whether to lead his troops to support them.

Just as he was hesitating and making a decision, he led his troops to meet the enemy. As soon as he reached the gate of the fort, Jingde had arrived at the gate and shouted, "Commander Bai, quickly gather the troops to defend the fort. This government army is not strong enough to fight. Let the Holy Lord send elite troops to help!"

Bai Qin was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Jingde coming into the village, and he just said, "Close the door quickly!"

Bai Qin asked: "How did you fail so badly?"

Jingde had already come in, out of breath, and answered: "Commander, you don't know, they are all armored, thousands of them, they must be the most elite troops under Su Wu, the Su Wu who defeated Lu Shumi and the emperor's uncle, defeated Si Yuanshu and Li Yuanshu, and broke into Hangzhou City. He is the most elite under his command!"

Bai Qin was horrified when he heard this, and he quickly shouted to the left and right: "Close the door, close the door!"

The current situation is really dangerous and troublesome. Among the four marshals, Shi Bao was defeated in Hangzhou and retreated to Fuyang, and Deng Guoshi was in charge of Fuyang. Marshal Li was defeated outside Hangzhou and disappeared. Marshal Si led Marshal Li's defeated soldiers and his brother Li Tianyou to stay in Xincheng.

The Wulong Ridge was not originally considered the front line, and there were not many elite troops there. Now the elite troops were divided into two groups, one in the front line in Fuyang and Xincheng, and the other following the Holy Archbishop in Jiande and Qingxi.

How did the main force of the government army suddenly appear here in Wulongling? Or were they Su Wu's elite troops?
How can this be an opponent?
It would not be long before the government troops' armored vehicles reached the foot of the mountain. They just had to quickly close the gate of the fortress and not care about the many people who had not yet entered. They just had to let them escape and hide in the mountains and forests first. It would not be too late to go back until the government troops retreated.

The government troops also stopped at the foot of the ridge. Wu Song was looking at the fort on the ridge and said, "This is where we need to attack. If we attack from land, it will be difficult to defeat here."

Shi Xiu asked: "So should we beat him or not?"

Wu Song shook his head: "If we don't fight, we don't have the order to attack Wulongling. Besides, if we want to fight here, we must need the help of the craftsmen. This time our responsibility is to clear the waterway. Let's go back..."

Wu Song had already turned around and was heading back. The soldiers on both sides were reluctant to leave and somewhat disappointed. Although they did not dare to say much, they could not help thinking: There are so many bandits, and we don't fight them...

I went back to the waterside, but it was the water fort where they were putting out a fire. It had just started, and now they needed to put it out. It wasn't that difficult to put out a fire by the waterside...

Wu Song came to Wu Yong, looking quite exhausted, and asked, "Why are you putting out the fire again?"

Wu Yong then bowed again and said slowly: "Commander Wu, I have a plan and I am just about to report it to you for discussion!"

"Tell me what you have to say..." Wu Song bowed slightly, and his attitude really changed.

Wu Yong said seriously: "This is what I think. This water fort has been preserved. If we leave a group of soldiers here to guard it, we can cut off the communication and support of the enemy army. If the general comes, he can also land here. This place can also be used to store food and grass for easy transportation by water..."

Wu Song nodded and thought about it, but then asked, "There are still many thieves in Wulong Ridge not far away..."

"So, I want to leave a strong army here to guard the place. Commander Wu... you can stay here for six or seven days at most. I will lead the fleet downstream and quickly pick up the general. It will take a few days to return."

Wu Yong had this idea in mind. Who would be the safest person to stay here? It goes without saying.

Wu Song also understood: "Then I will stay here!"

Wu Yong immediately laughed: "Then it shouldn't be that the commander has a thousand men here. Commander Zhu Tong will also stay here. He will just listen to the commander's orders..."

"Okay, six or seven days are nothing. I will think of a way to take down Wulong Ridge in these few days. If we can really take down Wulong Ridge, we can completely cut the enemy army in two." Wu Song thought seriously.

Wu Yong was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Commander Wu, just hold on to our camp, don't worry about Wulong Ridge, wait for the general to arrive, and everything will be settled naturally!"

Wu Song just nodded and said, "I know, I know. I will not take risks, nor will I try to do something that I cannot do. You should take your men back quickly. Don't keep the general waiting."

Wu Yong was relieved after hearing this, and nodded, saying, "The navy will also be divided into two groups. I will take the majority back to pick up the general. I will also leave Xiao Qi to continue to lead a hundred or so boats to go ahead. There won't be much water battle, just burn and rob boats along the way, and make sure the thieves can't use a single boat."

Wu Yong didn't need to report this to Wu Song in such detail, but he still did so seriously.

Wu Song's identity is indeed different. He is General Su's most trusted brother, and actually plays the role of the military supervisor. Wu Yong, on the other hand, is very clear about human nature.

Wu Song also understood and appreciated it. He knew that Wu Yong was doing what he was doing, so he just nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wu Yong felt relieved after hearing this. He bowed again and went about his business, preparing to lead the ship owner back.

At this time, Wu Song bowed seriously in return, which showed that he had already recognized the gesture in his heart.

Even though Zhu Tong had come, Wu Song laughed and said, "Commander Zhu, your navy is good at fighting."

Zhu Tong was still bowing, but when he heard these words, he smiled happily and turned around to look around. Everyone behind him also looked very happy.

Who is this person? He is General Su’s most powerful general and General Su’s most trusted brother!

With such praise, everything is in this word.

Zhu Tong saluted and replied, "Thank you, Commander Wu!"

Wu Song waved his hand and said, "Everyone, from now on, we are all brothers! Brothers, you have sacrificed your lives for me, and as soon as the general arrives, you will be rewarded."

"Commander Wu, bow again!" Zhu Tong bowed again, and the people behind him followed suit.

"Forget it, come on, follow me into the water stronghold. I also have something to discuss with Commander Zhu." Wu Song's face gloomy again.

The water fort was not very big, but it could accommodate more than 2,000 people and there was plenty of food inside. The soldiers just had to tidy up the place and then settle down.

In the meeting hall, Wu Song, Zhu Tong, Shi Xiu and others took their seats.

"I wonder what Commander Wu wants to discuss?" Zhu Tong asked with a bow.

Wu Song looked around and said, "Although we only have 2,500 men, our duty is to guard the water stronghold and welcome the general's army to land. But I have thought, what if we take down Wulong Ridge before the general arrives?"

Shi Xiu was stunned: "Didn't the commander say that the fortress was difficult to attack? He wanted the craftsmen to help?"

Wu Song nodded, "That's true. Without the craftsmen's team, it's really hard to fight. But... if we can take it down, wouldn't it save the general a lot of trouble? We can cut the bandit army into two parts, and let Tan Zhen attack Fuyang and Xincheng. When the general arrives, we can directly attack Jiande City, the seat of Muzhou. Even if reinforcements come from Tonglu, they can be blocked to the east of Wulongling. So... everyone think about it?"

Zhu Tong immediately thought: "Aren't all the Fang La bandits in our army's hands?"

"Hehe...that's the truth, haha...we have to capture that thief Fang La and not let the thief leader let others snatch him away!" Wu Song had made up his mind about this matter and was already able to make plans.

Obviously, Wu Yong also planned this way.

This can probably be summed up in one word: subjective initiative.

Wu Song also thought about something, so he said, "In the past, we all followed the general to fight everywhere, and we all obeyed the military orders. In the future, the general's power will become more and more powerful, so he will let me take charge of things on my own. The general once said this to me, asking me to read more, which is what he meant. I will give it a try this time. It doesn't matter if I fail. If I succeed, the general will be very happy."

Wu Song spoke very frankly, and these were the words that came from his heart.

Zhu Tong came to ask: "Does the commander have a plan? I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat them by force."

Wu Song nodded, "Yes, I have a plan I learned from my brother. Let's surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements. Let's go to the fortress of Wulong Mountain and challenge them. If the enemy comes out to fight, that would be great. If the enemy doesn't come out, we will challenge them every day. There must be reinforcements coming from the west of Wulong Mountain. Let's beat them and make them throw away their armor and weapons. Then we will place the bodies of the reinforcements in front of the mountain and push the captives to the front of the mountain and chop off their heads one by one! Let's see if the enemy on the mountain is afraid! Let's say they will surrender if they surrender!"

"Ah?" Shi Xiu said in confusion.

"What?" Wu Song thought Shi Xiu had something to say.

Shi Xiu waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing..."

Zhu Tong, however, had something to say: "I don't know how many reinforcements the enemy has."

In fact, there were some concerns. If there were too many reinforcements and too many elite troops, our 2,500 people would be a little too few.

Wu Song waved his hand and said, "This time, I will lead the charge, and I will let Commander Zhu lead the charge!"

Zhu Tong waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was...if the bandits on the mountain still refuse to surrender, what should we do?"

Wu Song replied, "Let's build some ladders and attack them for a while. If we can defeat them, we brothers will have made great contributions. If not, we can retreat to guard the water stronghold and wait for the general's army to come again!"

Zhu Tong nodded: "That's great!"

Zhu Tong was not afraid of anything, he just wanted to be safe. Now that Wu Song had agreed on the whole thing, he was not doing anything stupid, so it was safe.

Wu Song suddenly asked, "How many prisoners have you captured today?"

Zhu Tong replied: "I have three or four hundred here."

Shi Xiu also answered: "We have more than a hundred people in the Xianzhen Camp..."

"Why is it so little?" Wu Song asked with a frown.

Shi Xiu was confused again, and could only answer: "They chased and killed him all the way, and there was no time to catch him..."

"Alas..." Wu Song sighed, but he was full of energy again: "It doesn't matter. Let's go and challenge them early tomorrow morning. Three or four hundred, or more than a hundred, that means there will be five hundred prisoners. Tomorrow, we will kill them one by one at the foot of Wulong Ridge! Let's see if the bandits will fight!"

Shi Xiu was completely confused. Should he take prisoners or not? Should the general do his job?
Wu Song also explained: "We are doing this... to undermine the morale of the bandits and lure them into battle, so that we can catch more of them later!"

Shi Xiu was helpless and looked at Wu Song. Okay, whatever you say is right!
On the waterway, a large number of ships began to return eastward downstream, leaving two large ships and a hundred or so small boats to continue upstream. Not long after, the navy left.

Inside the water fort, people were reinforcing the walls and starting to cook.

There are fish to eat, the fish caught by the pirates, the fish from Zhejiang waterways, are really delicious!
On the second day, after breakfast, two thousand armored soldiers escorted five hundred prisoners out of the stronghold, leaving five hundred men to guard the water stronghold.

Just go down to Wulong Ridge!
They selected a dozen loudmouths, put on armor and held shields, approached and yelled: "Fang La, you little bastard, are hiding everywhere. Even if we are chasing you, why don't you come out and surrender?"

This is just an average curse. Let’s change someone else’s: “Fang La’s mother is a thief, and her mother gave birth to Fang Jie!”

The word "straight girl" actually... means that.

This was quite something, and everyone around was laughing uncontrollably.

Let’s change it: “A straight mother gave birth to Fang Jie, Fang Jie’s straight mother gave birth to Fang Tianding!”

"Hey, you don't rhyme, let me do it!"

Then he shouted again: "Listen, you bastards, my grandfather is here, who dares to come out and fight? You bastards, you are all cowards..."

"Stop talking so much, I'm here! You're such a big old woman!"

"Silly dick!"

"Surrender and I'll keep you!"

The people in front were cursing fiercely, but Wu Song just laughed and waved away.

Five hundred bandits were pushed forward, with the soldiers holding long swords in their hands, and they were tied up and forced to kneel in front of them.

With this situation, it goes without saying what they are going to do.

On the fortress wall, Bai Qin's face was pale and red. He heard every curse clearly. Looking at the situation now, he asked, "What is this for? What is this for?"

How could Bai Qin not know what this was doing?
Jing De said: "Commander, how about you go down the wall first? I won't hear or see anything..."

"How can they do this? How can such a thing happen when two armies are fighting?" Bai Qin was already excited.

"Commander, do not fall into the trap. The Song army is trying to lure us into battle. Just wait a little longer. Muzhou is not far away. Elite reinforcements will surely arrive. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will charge out and kill all of this government army!"

Jingde kept trying to persuade Bai Qin because he was afraid that Bai Qin would not be able to resist attacking. He had a deep understanding of the capabilities of the government army.

Don’t underestimate the number of people on our side and the iron armor of the government troops. Their combat power is beyond imagination. We really cannot win if we go out!
(Brothers, today's update is 7,600 words. My cousin is having a happy event. In the next two days, it's only 7,000 to 8,000 words. Starting the day after tomorrow, the update will return to the previous 10,000 words!)
