At the same time, on the other side, while Hua Mianhu and the others were still in a three-way confrontation, a team took advantage of the heavy fog and rainy weather to quietly come to the area where Shisanniang was located, looking up at the village on the top of the mountain.
There are forty or fifty people in the team. The leader looks calm and experienced. Although he looks dull, the rest of the team has to obey his arrangements. He was originally an emerging force in Black Tiger Mountain. He was entrenched in a corner and rarely interacted with Black Tiger.
When the established forces of Shanshan competed, there was not much conflict in interests, and their strength was not inferior. Again, I heard that they had fought against Hua Mian Hu before. As for the outcome, no one knew the outcome except themselves.
In the great harvest year of the previous year, the established forces in Black Tiger Mountain either absorbed or expelled the scattered forces from Black Tiger Mountain. Even the powerful White Grotto disappeared quietly. People on the road said they did not want to
Seeing too much blood, I went down the mountain and became a good person. Anyway, I haven't seen them in this period of time.
This honest and dull middle-aged man was Lao Bai, the master of Baishi Cave at that time. It turned out that he did not disappear, but that Hua Mian Hu used some means to take him and his brothers under his command, and hid it very well.
Well, except for Xiudao, no one knows about their existence, not even the brothers of the Painted Tiger. They only know that they are the young men that the Painted Tiger snatched from the foot of the mountain far away, and Lao Bai was among those people.
In his eyes, he only knew that he was Hua Mianhu's right-hand man, and he was quite powerful.
Lao Bai squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain through the clouds and mist. He could vaguely see the even higher observation tower inside the wooden high-walled fence of the village. There were people on the observation platform watching the wind. It must be said that in the Black Tiger Mountain range,
None of the large and small power bases is as good as this stockade. This stockade was built by Black Tiger. Not only did he build the stockade on the top of a high mountain, but he also built a wall around the stockade, making it look like a small fortress.
It was difficult to defend and attack. Later, after Shisanniang accepted this cottage, she even built several tall watchtowers at the suggestion of his military advisor Lu Yu. People took turns going in and out every day, and the discipline was strict, making it beyond the reach of other cottages.
"Second Master, do you think how we can attack this village?"
A man came to Lao Bai's side. He used to be the person Hua Mianhu was optimistic about, but after Lao Bai came, his limelight was completely stolen. He was also angry and challenged Lao Bai, trying to
He regained his dignity, but was severely punished by Lao Bai, and since then he has never dared to cause trouble again.
"Later I will lead people around to the back of the stronghold and launch an attack from there. By then they will definitely call all the main forces over, and then their main forces will definitely fight with us. When the time comes, I will try my best to hold them back, and you can
Take the remaining brothers and charge forward from the real side. There should be some old, weak, women and children left in front of the village by then. They won't be a problem. You set their village on fire first, and then you can do whatever you want."
Lao Bai talked about his plan carefully, and the person who came to ask his eyes lit up after hearing it. He could do whatever he wanted? In other words, whatever he caught by then would be mine. I heard that Thirteen Niang and the others
He is rich. But, who is going to do the dirty work? Who is picking up the meat in the back?
As if he had read through this person's thoughts, Lao Bai still said calmly: "I will take them around to the back."
As he spoke, Lao Bai pointed at the people he was going to take with him. Almost all of them were newcomers, and only two or three were from the old ranks. In this way, the man applauded in his heart and did not drag him along. As for the old ones,
Everyone looked at him asking for help, but he ignored them.
This old man is really good at being a man. Brother, when I'm tired, I'll give him some hot food when I'm full. Otherwise, they will say that we old people are not kind. The man thought happily in his heart and said: "Brother Bai
Zhengyi, you brothers can rest assured that what we get will be divided equally between our brothers’ families, and we won’t treat you badly.”
"It's too early to say such things now. Don't underestimate the other party. Wait until the matter is settled, otherwise the flower-faced tiger..." Lao Bai didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he meant. "The flower-faced tiger is over there.
The pressure is even greater, I hope he can escape safely."
Better to die there.
The man thought a little unkindly. He found that following this man named Lao Bai was even better, and it was quite refreshing to be a human being.
"One more question." The man said.
"explain."
"How can we be sure that they are all attracted to you and behind them?"
"Have you seen the man in the watchtower? When the time comes, he will go with the large army to snipe us from behind. That will be the signal for you to attack."
"Okay, then it's settled."
"Then let's set off." Lao Bai waved his hand and quietly left with the people he named.
Watching them leave, as if in the rain and fog, the eyes of the remaining people were burning, thinking of the scene of burning, killing and looting after they entered the rich village.
"I wonder if Thirteenth Mother has captured a few girls and brought them back to the village to keep. She doesn't need them, and she needs to reward her brothers." The man licked his chapped lips and thought excitedly.
Now that they were at the village, Xiao Yanyu and Cheng Yan had no intention of going back to the house. They each looked at the falling rain with their own concerns.
"Alas~" Xiao Yanyu sighed.
"What are you sighing for?" Cheng Yan asked to distract herself.
"He has changed. He started not to keep his words. It's all the fault of that damn Thirteenth Mother." Xiao Yanyu was a little disappointed, and he was full of anger when he said the last sentence.
Cheng Yan looked at the little girl. She was very curious. From the tone of her words, there was no trace of awe for the mountain king of Black Tiger Mountain. Even every time she mentioned her, the little girl would add some bad prefixes and sounds.
You can't keep it down, you're not afraid of being heard at all. How did Thirteenth Mother view this little girl? She didn't kill her or lock her up, but let her move around at will.
"A man's mouth is a liar, so you have to be careful in the future." Cheng Yan said lightly.
"I very much agree with what you said."
"I want to ask you a question, can I?" Cheng Yan looked down at the little girl.
"Ask."
"he......."
The sound of "dang dang dang" gongs suddenly sounded from behind the village, and immediately someone came out of the house with weapons in hand. They did not rush to the back, but looked at Lu Yu who also appeared in everyone's sight.
Lu Yu frowned as he listened to the rapid sound of the gong.
"Military advisor, there must have been a sneak attack behind the stockade. Let's get there quickly." Ah Xiao came to Lu Yu's side with an anxious look on his face.
Lu Yu did not make a sound and listened carefully to the sound of the gong for a while. The sound of the gong did not stop and lingered in everyone's ears.
"That's not right." Lu Yu said.
"What's wrong?" Ah Xiao said anxiously.
Lu Yu did not explain, but asked people to take the women to hide in the cellar, and then told Ah Xiao: "Go to the back alone to check. This may be a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Ah? What should I say?"
"Do you still remember when you and Thirteenth Niang snatched that batch of goods from those three hills without any effort?"
"Remember."
"The other party probably used the same trick, but it was slightly different. Last time we wanted to scare off the enemy, but this time they wanted to attract us, and then..." Lu Yu paused,
He continued: "You are experienced and your legs and feet are nimble. You first go to the back to explore the situation and find out whether it is the trick, and then report it to me."
"Yes, then you..."
Lu Yu smiled strangely and said: "If I really guessed it, then we will use the trick to wait for the rabbit."
Although Ah Xiao didn't quite understand the military advisor's plan, what he said must be correct. This was his trust in the military advisor.
Ah Xiao left, and Lu Yu also started making arrangements of his own.
The people who were ambushing not far away from the foot of the mountain seemed to hear the beating of gongs and drums, which shocked their spirits. They all stared at the man in the watchtower on the mountain. They saw that the man did not leave immediately, but stood there.
After confirming something, he hurriedly climbed down from the observation deck and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The people disappeared under the watchtower. Those who couldn't bear it immediately drew their swords and stood up. Now they no longer had to hide their traces.
"Brothers, rush~~!"
Like hyenas smelling carrion, everyone rushed towards the stockade on the mountain as fast as possible. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the entrance of the stockade. The wooden door was tightly closed, as if they were silently rejecting the uninvited guests.
The attacking team was divided into two people, and everyone helped them climb over the high wall. As soon as the two people climbed over the high wall, they carefully looked at the environment in front of them. There was no one there, only the stilted buildings stood there quietly.
The two men quickly opened the door from the inside and let their brothers in.
Everyone gathered together, looked at the empty village, and laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha, everything here belongs to us. Brothers, search it for me quickly. If you encounter any ignorant guys, young or old, kill them all. Of course, if there are any girls, I will tie them up."
After giving the order, everyone dispersed and began to search every house for items, completely forgetting what Lao Bai had said before, "First light the village, and then do what you want to do."
Looting and plundering things was their strong point. After a while, they all gathered in the school yard of the village with their full loads, and the excitement in everyone's eyes was not to mention.
"Damn, you can't see a single person, you're hiding so well." One person said greedily.
"Come on, with these things, what do you want to do in the future? You can exchange money for it. Are the girls at the bottom of the mountain not better than those at the top?"
"Stop nagging, don't forget the business. Lao Bai and the others are still behind to block those people for us. Hurry up and clear this place up so that this stinky bitch Thirteenth Mother will be surprised when she comes back."
As they spoke, they took out the fire certificates, but a cold voice made them tremble immediately.
"Oh? If you can't rob anyone, it's not enough to rob something. Do you want to set fire to it?"
