Wei Yang was actually very worried about Chu Yunyun, the acting hall leader.
This is just a fourteen-year-old girl. How can she understand what it means to control the crowd? What is the art of war?
Isn't it child's play for an innocent girl to command tens of thousands of people to fight?
However, this was Chu Xisheng's instructions before leaving, and Wei Yang had to obey.
He is a man who accepts death.
The Chu family brothers and sisters saved his life and gave him a generous salary, so he had to sell his life to others!
And there is no one else in the entire Xishan Hall who can convince the public, not even his colleague Li Shenshan.
Only the blood relationship between Chu Yunyun and Chu Xisheng allowed everyone to temporarily suppress their thoughts and listen to her orders.
However, just as their group was entering the mountain through the Xianxian Gorge, Chu Yunyun rode to Wei Yang's side, and she also called Li Shenshan and others over.
"Master Wei, Altar Master Lu from Lu Plain sent a message just now, saying that the marching speed of those county troops is very slow. At this time, they are still about 29 miles away from Zhengjia Village. This is an excellent opportunity to fight. I have decided
Push the battlefield seven miles forward and place it at the foot of Black Bear Mountain."
While Chu Yunyun was speaking, she picked up a stick and swung it quickly in the mud at her feet.
In the blink of an eye, a topographic map of twenty miles near Zhengjiacun appeared on the ground.
"Have you seen the terrain clearly? You are a captain who has been in the army for more than ten years. You should understand without me that the terrain here is of great benefit to us. Later, you will lead your headquarters and accelerate forward with Liu Ruoxi's Xizitan, from Guolin
The village leader, three thousand hunters, plus two hunters from different groups, rushed to set up a formation halfway up the mountainside to the south of Black Bear Mountain, and asked all of them to carry fifty arrows."
Liu Ruoxi didn't know why, but she simply agreed.
Wei Yang's pupils narrowed, thinking that Chu Yunyun's move was really powerful.
The southern foot of Black Bear Mountain is in the middle of a 'B' shaped gorge. When the enemy enters the gorge, they cannot see the arrow array they have set up.
But once the enemy enters the middle section of the gorge, the front and back roads of Xiushui County's nine thousand troops will be blocked by their arrow formations.
There is also "Black Bear Mountain", Wei Yang knew the terrain here.
Black Bear Mountain has only the southeast side. The slope near Zhengjia Village is relatively gentle and can accommodate large groups of people climbing. The other directions are extremely steep.
Because of its gentle mountains, it is the limit that can accommodate 3,000 hunters.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "The military situation is urgent. Wei will rush over immediately."
There was a bit of impatience in Wei Yang's tone.
——As long as they occupy Black Bear Mountain in advance, they can basically become invincible.
Chu Yunyun then said the same to everyone in Lu Lulanli's "Huan Zi Tan": "Black Bear Mountain has a dangerous terrain. As long as they occupy this mountain, the Xiushui County army cannot take it down without spending three to five thousand lives."
, they cannot afford such a price.
But I want to give it a try. On the south side of Black Bear Mountain, we can wipe out all the nine thousand county troops, or at least severely damage most of them! So we have to completely cover the battlefield and not let their exploration cavalry get close. Knowing that our army is in advance
The occupation of Black Bear Mountain is your responsibility. Xiang Kui and Wang Zheng will each lead fifty people to hunt down the county army's detective cavalry in the Black Bear Mountain area."
Hearing this, everyone around them suddenly became energetic, thinking that Chu Yunyun had such a big appetite! He actually wanted to forcefully eat these nine thousand county troops.
If this battle is successful, it will undoubtedly be bad news for the Shen family.
Xiushui's nine-thousand-county army failed in the "suppression of bandits" in Xiushui County, losing most of their troops. Shen Zhou, the county lieutenant, will definitely be questioned.
——But they seem to be able to do this?
Even Xiang Kui and Wang Zheng looked stern after hearing this.
This Miss Chu is quite methodical in fighting, and the terrain of Black Bear Mountain is indeed dangerous. It seems that Xishan Hall is not finished yet?
From this point of view, they still can't take advantage of the situation and have to work harder.
Chu Yunyun looked at Lu Luanli again: "Just let your subordinates go for this battle. Senior Sister Lu, you stay. I don't have anyone to protect me. Please stay and help me, Senior Sister Lu."
Lu Luanli understood this and stayed alone with Chu Yunyun, so she would have a chance to escape and fight as a mysterious master.
She immediately clasped her fists and responded valiantly: "Follow the order!"
Before Chu Xisheng left, he held her hand and asked her sincerely to help look after Xishan Hall.
Lu Luanli searched everywhere inside the hall for clues about Nishen's flagpole and Liewang's treasure, and he felt very guilty.
If she couldn't help Chu Xisheng protect this piece of property, Lu Luanli thought to herself that she would have no shame in meeting Chu Xisheng again.
As for her "chaosi", Lu Luanli wasn't worried at all.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Xisheng arranged half of the nineteen spies and moles into the messy altar.
Therefore, the word "Luan", Tan Tan, is like the Chinese character, very messy.
These guys are also very capable, and they will have no problem saving their lives.
If these guys dare not try their best, then it will be just as Lu Luanli wants, and they can be kicked out of Xishan Hall.
After these people, it was Li Shenshan's turn.
Chu Yunyun confessed in a solemn voice: "I am not familiar with military formations, and I don't know the art of war. But Master Li Tan was born in the Shence City, is experienced in the military, and is proficient in battle formations. Therefore, Master Li Tan is fully responsible for the head-on battle. I
Don't interfere. The only thing is to minimize our casualties. We would rather have smaller results than let our brothers lose their lives."
Li Shenshan looked at Chu Yunyun with a look of surprise and confusion in his eyes.
He wondered if the girl in front of him really didn't know the art of war?
When the girl waved her hand, there was a detailed and thoughtful topographic map.
It can be seen that she knows the topography of Xishan very well and has mountains and rivers in her mind.
Her arrangements for everyone are also very organized and organized.
Although he is young, his words can make people listen and believe him.
Li Shenshan couldn't help but think of the commander in the north who led them to victory in all battles and conquered every attack.
The two of them really look like——
Is this really just a coincidence?
Li Shenshan then calmed down his thoughts: "General, I will obey your orders and I will not disappoint you!"
It's nothing more than cooperating with Wei Yang's three thousand archers to block the nine thousand county troops in the gorge. What's the difficulty?
However, he unconsciously adopted the same tone as when he was in the Northern Army.
Chu Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand nonchalantly, signaling Li Shenshan to do something.
She then looked at the two strong men next to them who were as tall as iron towers.
These are two deputy altar leaders who were born in Xishan.
"Deputy Altar Master Li, Deputy Altar Master Zhang, have you all heard my arrangement just now? You are both the marksmen in the hall, and you are both from Xishan. You should know who among the hunters has the best shooting skills.
There are one hundred strong bows of twenty-five stones each in the hall. I hope you will each choose fifty sharpshooters, climb up these two mountains, command the top of the mountain, and control the whole place. I do not allow you to participate in the war. I only ask you.
Wait, let me watch the opponent's seventh-grade and above masters and lock them up."
Chu Yunyun really planned to entrust all the frontal war to Li Shenshan, but there were still some details to be arranged.
For example, among the county army, there are fifty seventh-grade martial arts cultivators, and there are five sixth-grade ones. The backgrounds of Xishan Hall and Xishan Orion are still a little bit different.
Chu Yunyun thought to herself that it would be nice if there were more young men in this hall.
At this moment, a large group of people dressed as hunters came over from the front.
They are of different ages, either in their prime or very old.
However, their expressions were all livid and solemn.
Lu Luanli recognized these people as the hunting leaders from Xishan.
When they came over at this time, they were probably worried about the current Xishan Hall and Chu Yunyun.
Lu Luanli was a little worried at first, fearing that Chu Yunyun wouldn't be able to cope with it.
But soon after, he saw that the faces of the hunting leaders relaxed.
Lu Luanli was curious and leaned over to listen. Then he heard Chu Yunyun say: "——All the troops and plans this time were made by my brother before he left. If you don't believe me, you should believe my brother! I
My brother traveled thousands of miles to protect his friends in Beijing. What a kind and righteous man he is, how could he put you to death?
In fact, what do you have to worry about? In today’s battle, I, Xishan Hall, will have 14 altars and 1,400 people at the forefront. If I can win this battle, you will try your best to help me. If the situation is not good,
Then you hunters can withdraw early.
There are mountains and forests all around here. If you all hide in the mountains, no matter how powerful the county soldiers are, they can't do anything to you. Now that you have been beaten to the bone by those thieves, how much property can be left in the family? It doesn't matter if you don't want this little property. My brother has said it first.
If there is any loss, our Xishan Hall will fully compensate you."
Lu Luanli felt that Chu Yunyun's words were soft and gentle, as if they contained magic power, soothing people's hearts and making everyone unconsciously obey and believe in his words.
She couldn't help but "tsk tsk" in surprise.
If it weren't for today's battle, she wouldn't have known that Chu Xiaomei, who had always been weak and weak, could be such a powerful person.
But that’s right, how can a tiger brother have a canine sister?
It must be because Chu Xisheng usually teaches well.
※※※※
When Lieutenant Shen Zhou learned that all members of Xishan Hall were attacking Zhengjiacun, he was meeting Long Heng and Shangguan Shenhao on the top of Xiushui County City.
After hearing the news, his face turned green immediately.
The county captain Shen Zhou never expected that Xishan Hall would ignore the Dan family and go all out to save Zhengjia Village.
In terms of geography alone, Zhengjia Village is actually insignificant.
Those Orion villages are all inside Xishan. Even if they are all lost, the foundation of Xishan Hall will not be shaken.
On the contrary, the Dan family is responsible for several crossings. Once they are broken by the Xishan bandits, the entire Xishan Town will be shaken.
They can even gather enough strength to attack Xishan Town.
What made Shen Zhou uneasy was Xishan Hall. They actually gathered a large number of hunters in Guolin Village!
In previous years, when Liu Dingtang was in charge of Xishan Town, these Xishan hunters were not so dedicated. Whenever Liu Dingtang gave orders, they would push back and make various excuses.
In the hands of Chu Xisheng, the twenty-seven Orion villages inside Xishan and the five Orion villages outside the mountain all responded to Xishan Hall's call and headed towards Guolin Village without any delay on the way.
——That’s a total of 7,300 people! Including the 200 hunters in Zhengjia Village, there are a total of 7,500 bows and knives!
In addition, there are 1,400 members of Xishan Hall!
This is an army of nearly 10,000 people.
Although they were all a mob, it took Chu Xisheng less than three months to put them together without any battle formation drills. However, the individual combat power of these people was extremely high, and almost all of them were advanced martial arts cultivators.
There are 8,900 ninth-level martial arts cultivators, most of whom are good at archery.
Just looking at it on paper, this huge force is quite intimidating.
The overall combat power even far exceeds that of the Xiushui County Army under his command.
Lieutenant Shen Zhou was worried that it was the nine thousand troops of Xiushui County.
The troops of Xiushui County were not Shen Zhou's own troops, but if the losses were too heavy, it would be difficult for him to explain to his superiors.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the soldiers and horses under your command?"
Shangguan Shenhao is playing chess with Long Heng.
He read the letter talisman handed over by Shen Zhou, and took a closer look at Shen Zhou's expression, and he already guessed what happened.
Shangguan Shenhao was also worried.
Xishan Hall’s mobilization ability is so amazing?
Were those hunters fed some intoxicating drugs by Chu Xisheng? Are they willing to mobilize the whole village for Xishan Hall and fight for him?
Shangguan Shenhao had a calm expression on his face as he placed the pieces on the chessboard: "With all due respect, Lord Commander-in-Chief is too worried. The commanders of the Commander-in-Chief Army under your command are all from the border army and are experienced in battle formations.
How could he not be able to cope with those rabble?
If it really doesn't work, the Lord Lieutenant can write a document asking them to be more restrained when using troops, and not to attack forcefully, or even to defend according to danger. Our purpose is just to contain the soldiers and horses of Xishan Hall, there is no need to
Attack those Orion villages."
Long Heng also offered words of comfort: "In the past years, Hall Master Liu also urged these Orions to fight, but the results were not satisfactory. I remember one time, the Iron Banner Gang only used 300 selected fronts to charge, and all the 2,000 Orions collapsed.
They were overwhelmed in one fell swoop.”
Shen Zhou's complexion relaxed a little.
What Long Heng was talking about happened nine months ago when the Iron Banner Gang attacked Xishan Town for the third time.
After that battle, everyone knew that the hunters in Xishan were useless and could only be attacked, but they were not worth relying on.
Shangguan Shenhao smiled slightly at this time: "Let's do it! All the losses suffered by the Xiushui Army in this battle will be borne by our three families. The casualties are within two thousand, and we will compensate the Lord Lieutenant for the number of Xiushui Army's casualties.
Lost ordnance can be purchased, personnel can be recruited, and casualties can be compensated with money. As long as the Xiushui County army has enough troops and equipment, there is nothing the higher-ups can say."
Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression relaxed a bit.
"Then it's settled!" Shen Zhou's eyes flashed: "I have been dating Brother Shangguan for so long, but today's incident is quite happy."
Shangguan Shenhao smiled slightly and continued to play chess with Long Heng.
He held the chess piece in his hand, with a calm and calm look on his face, but with murderous intent in his eyes: "It's actually good news for us that Xishan Hall won't save the Dan family. The key to this battle is still the crossing of Guiwei Gorge. As long as the Dan family's blockade is broken, , we are all alive.
Brother Shen, it’s getting late and it’s time to let those Xishan bandits take action. Since the Dan family insists and still wants to wait and see, there is no need to persuade them to surrender. This Xiushui chessboard cannot tolerate these people who are both leaders and rats!"
"Why do you need to say anything about this?"
Lieutenant Shen Zhou raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Dan Chiling dared to attach himself to Xishan Hall and act as an aide to the tiger. This time I will kill his entire clan, old and young, to serve as a warning to others!"
※※※※
No coincidence.
Dan Chiling, who was standing on the stone castle in the center of Guiwei Gorge, had the same complexion as Shen Zhou, the former commander-in-chief, as black as iron.
"All 1,400 members of Xishan Hall went to Zhengjia Village? Was it the little girl Chu Yunyun who made the decision? Have they made up their minds not to come to rescue us?"
After Dan Chiling asked the messenger who returned from Xishan Town, he couldn't help but cursed: "It must be Chu Xisheng's order before he left. This little red guy! A little scoundrel! A killer with a thousand cuts! He is so vicious that pus will flow from the soles of his feet. He wants to force him to do so." My family is fighting these thieves!"
His son Danze looked solemn and thoughtful: "Could Chu Xisheng have seen through our roots?"
"It is possible." Dan Chiling said with his hands behind his back: "But the most urgent task now is, should we hold on to this passage?"
"Do we still have a choice?" Danze sneered, with a hint of sarcasm.
He then waved the letter talisman in his hand: "Here is a piece of news that may be useful to you. Xishan Hall called on thirty-two Orion villages to help in the war, but there was no excuse. Now 7,500 Orions have gathered in Fruit Forest Village.”
Dan Chiling was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Seven thousand five hundred hunters? Seven thousand five hundred bows and knives, how did he do it?"
Danze didn't know why, so he could only guess: "Those Xishan hunters may really think that Chu Xisheng is benevolent and righteous. Although he received Ping An's money, he didn't take any of it and spent it all on the hunters themselves. And the previous few Oh my God, Xishan Hall has just underwritten a batch of mountain goods for them. The price is much more reasonable than before. I heard it is more than double the price.
Now the leader of the Chu Hall has an excellent reputation among the hunters. Moreover, even though the Xiushui County Army's attack on Zhengjia Village was aimed at Xishan Hall, it is actually the hunters' own business, so they must do their best."
Dan Chiling fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He knew what Danze meant. Since Xishan Hall had conquered the hearts of all the hunters, Zhengjia Village should be able to withstand it.
As long as they can hold on for a while at Guiwei Gorge, Xishan Hall will definitely not lose——
At this time, there was a sudden roar nearby, interrupting Dan Chiling's thoughts.
It was a large boulder thrown by a trebuchet, and it hit the front of the stone castle, causing the entire stone castle to shake.
The thieves were exerting their strength. A total of eight six-arm crossbows, twenty scorpion crossbows, and six trebuchets were firing continuously, bombarding the three stone forts until they were completely devastated and on the verge of collapse.
After Dan Chiling came to his senses, he remembered that the thieves had been there for half a moment and had not made any attempt to persuade them to surrender.
Those on the opposite side are also bastards! They deserve to be killed! They no longer want to give the Dan family a way to survive!
He couldn't help but sigh.
Knowing the situation at hand, we can no longer delay.
Just as his son Danze said, that rogue Chu Xisheng's methods were too high, leaving the Dan family with no choice.
"Come down and let off the smoke!" Dan Chiling narrowed his eyes and showed a fierce intention: "You have to be fast! Within half a moment at most, I will make the smoke cover the entire gorge. Danze, go and inform the tribe.
, there is no need to hold back in this battle. Enter his ancestors! Whoever wants our Dan family to die, I will kill them first!"
I don’t know if it was God’s blessing, but there was not even a breath of wind in Guiwei Gorge today.
At this time, three miles away on the opposite side, Xia Qingtian, the master of Jiudao Dock, "Jinghong Dao", and Mengyun Shan, the master of Baiyun Village, both looked calm and looked at the three stone castles in front of them in boredom.
The entire Xishan Hall sent troops to Zhengjiacun, which may be bad news for the county captain Shen Zhou, but for the two of them, it is an out-and-out good thing.
This means that their brothers can capture the entrance to Guiwei Gorge with fewer casualties.
Especially after Shen Zhou promised to capture Guiwei Gorge to induce them to help, all the Dan family's assets, reserves, and population were allowed to be plundered by them.
The Dan family is a very wealthy person in Xishan. The family is extremely rich and has two to three hundred thousand magic silver.
However, what the two of them valued more was the food and grass stored by the Dan family.
The blockade of Xishan Hall this time really made them suffer. The food stocks of several thieves' dens were actually exhausted in less than half a month.
If they hadn't plundered a lot from the hunters, they might have had to abandon Xishan within two months at most.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes, so both of them intended to store some food and grass in Wuzhai.
Without three to five months' worth of food, they can't sleep well now.
As the three stone forts gradually became dilapidated and were about to fall. Both of them were distracted to varying degrees, expecting that the Dan family would no longer be able to resist their offensive after losing their fortifications.
Until they saw large clouds of smoke covering the battlefield.
"grass!"
Meng Yunshan, the leader of Baiyun Village, immediately thought of the recent battle at 'Wenjiabao'.
He cursed his mother secretly and felt a little panicked.
That mysterious fifth-grade master is actually in Guiwei Gorge!
"All ministries be on guard!" Meng Yunshan shouted loudly: "All troops, horses and equipment, retreat three miles! If all ministries are attacked, do not panic or retreat, just report loudly! Where is Mr. Xi, where is he? Please hurry up
He comes here."
The Mr. Xi he spoke of was Xi Quan, the former chief general of the Shangguan family.
It was specially invited by the Shangguan family to deal with the fifth-grade mysterious master.
Xi Quan was originally at Ghost Crying Gorge, but after learning that Xishan Hall sent troops to Zhengjia Village, he rushed there again.
After all, the main force of Xishan Hall is over there.
"I've already sent the talisman, and I think I'll be back within half an hour."
Jinghong Dao Xia Qingtian pulled out his Yanling Dao: "Before this, we can only work together."
Both of them are among the top 80 people on the Dongzhou Black List, with cultivation levels above the sixth level.
The two of them working together are enough to fight that fifth-grade man.
Just as they were talking, the green smoke had already covered a distance of two miles outside the stone castle! It enveloped some thieves who were unable to retreat and took various equipment.
This green smoke obviously has magic to boost its momentum. Not only does it expand quickly, but it is also so dense that it can't be seen.
Even with Xia Qingtian's sixth level cultivation, he could only see fifty feet inside the thick smoke.
And the next moment, a large number of exclamations sounded from all directions.
"Big Boss, our boss, Fifth Boss Lou Jun, died in the battle. He only survived one move!"
"The one-eyed old seventh man of Black Blade Village was killed!"
"Dock Master! The trebuchet assigned to us was destroyed, and the one who took action was a sixth-grade master."
"Master of the dock! Old Fourth Feng Mantis died. The opponent is a tough guy who has cultivated to the fifth level."
"The first boss and the third boss, Yin Xi, died in battle!"
"The Seventh Leader's Dang Ying died in battle!"
"Lao Liu died in the battle with Bagua Dao!"
"The second brother He Tiandan died in the battle with Qingkong Sword——"
The calls came from all directions and seemed extremely noisy, making everyone look panicked and extremely flustered.
The thick green smoke was like a giant beast lying across the gorge, swallowing up everything in its path.
In just a moment, one sixth-grade and nine seventh-grade thieves from the five bandits were killed in the battle. All the trebuchets and crossbows were also lost in an instant, destroyed by the mysterious master on the opposite side.
Xia Qingtian, the master of Jiudaowu's Jinghongdao, and Meng Yunshan, the master of Baiyun Village, could not help but turn pale.
How many masters are hidden in Xishan Hall in Guiwei Gorge?
By the time the green smoke dispersed, in less than half a moment, they had lost one-third of their seventh-grade martial arts.
Just when the two of them looked hesitant and were considering whether to run away, a black figure flew into the air and came behind them.
He was a thin, bamboo-pole-like man with a face that was green on one side and red on the other.
This person was Xi Quan. He glanced at the thick green smoke from a distance. There was some fear in his eyes at first, and then he moved forward without hesitation.
"There is a tough guy inside, and there is more than one person. I will go in and meet with them for a while, and you two will follow."
Xia Qingtian and Meng Yunshan looked at each other, and then they both followed closely and jumped into the green smoke one after another.
They were all aware of the danger in the smoke, but many brothers from their two families had fallen into it, and they had to save them.
The arrival of Xi Quan also gave them enough courage to enter the smoke and give them a try.
They were confident that the three of them could escape from the smoke together.
This chapter has been completed!
