Zhangshugou and Huilongkou were successively captured by the army, leaving only Feihu Ridge in the hands of the bandits. After Hou Si realized that he had fallen into Su Ren's plan, he took Hou Jian and fled the battlefield. They did not return to Huilongkou, but
Heading straight to Feihu Ridge.
Of the three bandit cottages, Huilongkou is the easiest to attack. The terrain is not good and the cottage is average. The bandits who stayed here are not the most powerful among the bandits in terms of weapons and personnel. Zhangshugou was originally the best.
Unfortunately, a wrong decision ruined the stronghold. Only Feihuling was left and could barely fight.
Hou Jian was very unwilling. His plan was perfect, but he overestimated his teammates. As he ran, Hou Jian looked back. Looking at the tragic battlefield, he remembered Su Ren's words: Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods.
, I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs. This is what Su Ren said when he saw Liu Wen next to Hou Jian when he besieged Laojunguan for the first time.
Zhang Dequan didn't know that Zhangshugou and Huilongkou had been breached, but as a close confidant of Tang Meng, he remembered Tang Meng's instructions quite clearly. However, seeing his men die in front of his eyes one by one, Zhang Dequan was trembling with rage.
.He will make wrong judgments when he is angry. As a general leading an army, if he makes wrong judgments, he will kill the whole army.
Waves of officers and soldiers fell on the way to attack, but they didn't even touch the gate of Feihuling. This place is very strange, with mountains on three sides. The bandits built a lot of fortifications on the mountains. Although they are simple, they are very powerful.
It's effective. When the officers and soldiers rush in, they attack on three sides. No matter how many people come, it's useless.
"Come on! Charge them all for me! If anyone doesn't charge, I will kill him now!" Zhang Dequan was already crazy. With a sword in his hand, he had just killed a close aide who suggested that he withdraw his troops temporarily: "Marquis Hu, please take the lead.
Those who guard the mountain pass and those who dare to retreat will be executed on the spot!"
The military commander surnamed Hu was stunned. When he saw Zhang Dequan's blood-red eyes, he did not dare to say anything and led his men away.
The mountain road has been covered with corpses, and even the grass and shrubs on both sides are full of people. Except for the back, the other three sides of these corpses have wounds, including arrow wounds, as well as simple wooden sticks and bamboo knives.
"Get out of the way, there's another big boulder on top!"
Following this shout, more than a dozen large rocks weighing several thousand kilograms rolled out from the gate of Feihuling. The bandits inside didn't even look at it. They immediately closed the gate and ran to the wall to watch the excitement.
The officers and soldiers ran away like crazy. Those who could run ran in both directions, and those who couldn't were chased by boulders and then crushed into meat. And those officers and soldiers hiding on both sides had no chance to breathe and were immediately beaten.
The bandits on Liangmiantu Mountain were massacred.
"Master Dazhai, this method of mine is good, isn't it? No matter how many officers and soldiers he has, he can't even think of entering our Feihu Ridge!" Red Beard grinned with a big mouth.
Hou Jian, who was slightly relieved, nodded: "Very good! I just don't know how many big rocks are left?"
Redbeard pointed at the back mountain: "My Feihu Ridge is short of everything, short of money, short of people, short of food, but not short of stones. I have sent people to mine in the back mountain. As long as we can hold on, there will be a continuous supply of stones!"
"
Hou Jian patted Red Beard on the shoulder: "Okay! Well done. When this is done, I will let you be the deputy head of the village!"
"Thank you, Dazhai Master!"
Another defeat, Hu Junhou could not stop it at all. Even if he killed more defeated troops, he could not stop the county soldiers from retreating. Their morale was gone, and they were defeated by others. Such an army was considered good without bombing the camp.
Already.
Looking at Zhang Dequan who was furious, Hu Junhou did not go to report, nor did he need to report. When he came to the other military commanders, with just a look, he got the responses from several other military commanders. Several military commanders pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
, quietly leaned behind Zhang Dequan.
"A bunch of losers, even a few bandits can't beat them. What does the imperial court do to support you guys? You eat and drink so much, but you actually retreated from the battle. Come on! Kill all those who retreated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cold sword blade was already on Zhang Dequan's neck.
"who?"
Zhang Dequan's personal guards also drew their weapons and blocked the remaining military officers who wanted to rush forward.
"Don't move! Put down your weapon!" Hu Junhou's hand holding the sword was trembling, and his voice was not loud. Zhang Dequan's personal guards still did not dare to move.
Zhang Dequan stared at Hu Junhou: "Are you going to rebel? Do you know what the crime of holding Shangguan hostage is? Put down your weapons immediately and return to your post. I will spare your life!"
Hu Junhou smiled: "With your fighting style, no one here will survive! If anyone dares to move again, don't blame my sword for being sharp. Put down your weapons, quickly!"
The other military commanders looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to disarm Zhang Dequan's personal guards. Hu Junhou also took off Zhang Dequan's sword: "Now listen to me and tie them all up. Everyone retreats from the mountain pass.
Set up camp right there!”
The crisp sound of the gong was very loud, and those county soldiers who still didn't know what happened were as if they had been granted amnesty. They turned around and ran down the mountain one by one, no longer caring about the arrows and boulders flying behind them.
"Run away!" Red Beard laughed loudly: "Children, follow Grandpa and I to rush out and kill these turtles!"
Hou Jian no longer dared to take risks, let alone lead people out of the stronghold. Who knows if there might be another trap outside the stronghold. He quickly grabbed Redbeard and said, "Master Hongzhao, look carefully before talking. Don't chase after poor bandits!"
Red Beard chuckled: "Don't worry, Master of the Dazhai, these county soldiers are very stupid. There will never be any conspiracy. I will be back soon!"
Regardless of Hou Jian's dissuasion, Red Beard rushed out of the village gate with his troops. Hou Jian's eyebrows stood up. He wanted to kill this self-righteous Red Beard right now. His hand was already on the hilt of his sword, but Hou Si held him down.
.
Hou Si shook his head slightly: "Master, we really should go to Huainan!"
The county soldiers were defeated and retreated quickly, and Redbeard was not too slow to pursue them. Both sides ran wildly on the mountain road. Hu Junhou's intention was very clear. As long as they rushed down the mountain, the bandits would have no support for the stronghold, so the county soldiers turned back and attacked.
He might not be able to turn defeat into victory. So he didn't even look behind him and just pulled Zhang Dequan and ran wildly.
It is common for county soldiers to throw away their helmets and armor. These people are not good at fighting, but they are good at running away. Losing their weapons and armor not only reduces their own burden. When the bandits see it, they only need to start picking it up.
slow down their pursuit.
Seeing that the mountain pass was about to arrive, Red Beard was eager to chase. If you can drive the officers and soldiers out of the mountain in one breath, you will be able to speak tougher among the bandits in the future. With a wave of the ghost-headed sword, he said: "Children, rush out, and you must not give in."
These idiots have escaped! Kill one of them and I will be rewarded heavily!"
Redbeard was just happy when suddenly the sky was filled with arrows, and the dozen or so bandits who were charging at the front fell headfirst. Redbeard could see clearly and was about to ask what was going on when he saw thousands of county soldiers flashing out from both sides of the mountain pass. These were
The county soldiers were different from the county soldiers just now. Their ranks were arranged neatly. Their one-foot-long halberds were divided into three rows, and the tips of the halberds were facing them in the mountain pass.
"Stop, grandma, we've fallen into a trap!"
Without the red beard to greet them, these bandits who were accustomed to grabbing had already started to turn around and run as hard as they could up the mountain. The county soldiers behind were unhurried, lined up in neat lines, and marched in neat steps, occupying the entire mountain road and pushing forward.
The chaotic group of bandits were unable to resist. A little slower, they were caught up by the county soldiers behind them. With a lunge, the gleaming halberd tip pierced into the body of the bandits, stepping on the dead body and continuing to move forward.
Redbeard ran feebly, running fast down the mountain, but exhausted when going up the mountain. Seeing the village gate in front of him, he looked back at the terrifying county soldiers still following them, and Redbeard shouted: "We're here, back to the village.
, take care of them slowly!”
"Open the door!" The bandits at the front shouted at the people on the wall.
The village gate slowly opened, and more than a dozen huge stones slowly rolled out from the door. The bandits were shocked and shouted: "Wrong! Wrong! One of our own!"
Tang Meng's figure appeared on the wall of the village and sneered: "Let you also have a taste of being hit by stones! Get out of here a few more times!"
Another dozen boulders weighing thousands of gold rolled out of the village gate, and the bandits ducked to avoid them. Behind them were three rows of county soldiers carrying halberds, and in front of them were more than twenty large rocks. The bandits didn't know what to do.
Done. The people behind wanted to go up, and the people above wanted to come down. There was a chaos, and the boulders rumbled over, running over their bodies, knocking down the big trees next to them, and after swinging back and forth in the valley for several times,
Only then did it return to its original trajectory and continue rolling down.
"ah……!"
"Ouch...!"
"Get out of the way! I'll chop you up!"
Various curses and painful groans echoed in the middle of the valley. Su Ren took a long breath, slowly raised his left hand, and Gou Tianming shouted: "Stand still! Maintain formation!"
The county soldiers who were lining up to go up the mountain stopped immediately, with the tip of their halberds still pointed at an angle of 45 degrees, staring coldly at the bandits who were still struggling.
Redbeard was grabbed by someone, and he staggered and almost fell. Just as he stood up, a huge boulder came close to him. Before he could avoid it, it came hard. Redbeard felt a burst of pain in his chest and abdomen.
Shocked, the whole person leaned back. The pain was limited and came from both feet, and then the legs. When he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Su Ren shook his head: "Who are these people that Hou Jian brought out? With these bandits who robbed homes and houses, they wanted to occupy Shu County. Do you think he was kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Li Cheng smiled slightly and said nothing. He glanced at Su Ren secretly and felt that the young man in front of him was becoming more and more difficult for him to see through. It was said that he had never killed anyone and had never killed anyone, but on this tragic battlefield in front of him,
He was frightened just by looking at it, but Su Ren seemed to be looking at it with appreciation.
After getting rid of the big rocks, Su Ren and Tang Meng led the county soldiers to attack from both sides. The bandits who had lost any fighting spirit knelt down and begged to surrender. The bandit gangs that Hou Jian had worked so hard to gather were wiped out one after another in one day. Except for those who were alive,
In addition to more than a dozen big and small leaders, more than 3,000 people surrendered. How to arrange these people is a major issue before Wen Dang and Tang Meng. (To be continued)
