More than two hundred people filed into the gate of the main village, and the black bandits behind them chased after them with noisy swans. Dozens of archers fired from a high position, and more than twenty bandits were hit by arrows and rolled down the stone steps. The others fled in fear.
, yelling and cursing endlessly. Taking advantage of this slight opportunity, the Luoyan Army soldiers successfully closed the heavy village gate and fastened the iron bolt.
Lin Jue gave an order, and more than a hundred soldiers climbed onto the wall of the village and the arrow tower behind the gate. When the bandits outside rushed to the gate of the village again, they were greeted by an even more crazy arrow rain. After two rounds, the people below
The stone steps were full of bandits who were hit by arrows and rolled down. Knowing that they were unable to break through the gate of the main village, the bandits shouted and retreated.
Only then did Gao Muqing have time to ask Yuan Lang.
"Why did you start taking action? Why didn't you act according to the plan? As a result, you lost nearly half of your manpower." Gao Muqing frowned.
"Master of Dazhai, it's not my fault. I strictly followed the military advisor's instructions. But the people in Beishan Dazhai couldn't keep calm. They panicked when they heard the shouts of killing coming from the main village. They took action first.
I rushed out, which resulted in the opponent's attack. I couldn't sit still and wait for death, so I could only lead my brothers to set fire and kill people. They started killing for no reason. I don't even know whether you, the leader of the village and the military advisor, succeeded or not." Yuan Lang said angrily.
.
Lin Jue frowned and nodded. With the current military discipline in Luoyan Valley, Yuan Lang would not make his own decisions. But the people in Beishan Dazhai may not abide by the rules. They are a group of guys who do whatever they want, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Ruan Ping sat on the ground and said feebly: "I'm sorry, Chief Gaoda, Brother Fang, my people have dragged you down."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "This is none of your business. It's just that the soldiers and horses in Guizhai made such a fuss and suffered heavy casualties. We have lost a lot of manpower. The next step will be even more difficult. We can't save the people trapped below.
I'm afraid they will all die."
Ruan Ping sighed, shook his head and said nothing.
Yuan Lang asked again: "Master of Dazhai, military advisor, have you succeeded? Is Zuo Zongdao dead?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Zuo Zongdao is dead. We have time to discuss the specific situation. The matter is not over yet. We have to get down to business. You lead eighty archers to guard the gate of the village, and I will take away the rest. Lord.
There are still hundreds of enemies in the stronghold, which must be eliminated as soon as possible."
…
In the open space under the mountain wall behind the main village, a firefight had just ended. Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang jointly launched an attack on Li Zhengde. Together with Zhao Zheng and Nan Yong's men, hundreds of people fought together. But Zhang Kang and Du
Yangtze's manpower was slightly larger, nearly 300 people versus more than 100 people, and it gradually became a crushing force.
As Du Chengjiang slashed Li Zhengde's thigh with his sword, Zhang Kang took advantage of the situation and struck another blow in Li Zhengde's ribs. The melee finally ended. The remaining bandit guards under Li Zhengde and Zhao Zheng surrendered to death.
, and some saw that the situation was bad and ran away without a trace.
Zhang Kang was also stabbed by Li Zhengde. Fortunately, the injury was not critical and only cut a layer of skin. However, a lot of blood flowed, and Zhang Kang roared and cursed in pain.
"Brother Zhang, the leader of the first village, Miss Mo, the second leader and the third leader are all dead. Now the village is leaderless. What should we do now?" Du Chengjiang asked panting from the side.
"What did Brother Du say?" Zhang Kang endured the pain and let one of his men around him help wrap the wound. His brows wrinkled from time to time because of the pain.
"Brother Zhang, I, Du Chengjiang, keep my word. I just said that I will support you as the leader of the big village, and I will definitely keep my promise. Let's go to the deputy village immediately to gather the manpower. The thousand men in the deputy village belong to the second and third village leaders.
We have to take the people under the jurisdiction of the village leader into the bag, so that no one among them will have any evil intentions after learning that the village leader and the others are dead. After acquiring these one thousand people, we will kill Wu Hai'er and fulfill Miss Mo's last wish.
After that, Brother Zhang will be the leader of the first village, and the younger brother will just be the leader of the second village." Du Chengjiang said.
Zhang Kang looked at Du Chengjiang and said, "Are you really willing to let me be the leader of the village? Don't you yourself?"
Du Chengjiang said sternly: "Brother Zhang, you and I have been brothers for many years, but you still don't know me? I am not a person who can convince others. It is most suitable for Brother Zhang to be the leader of the village. This is definitely not against my will."
Zhang Kang chuckled and said, "Thank you so much, brother. It's okay, you and I will be in charge of this village together. I will be the master of the village first, and I will hand it over to you in the future. We brothers will take turns. But the top priority now is just as you said.
We have to gather the troops of the deputy village and kill Wu Hai'er. That guy will not accept you and me as the master of the village in Shiren Mountain. By the way, we also need to find the assassin who killed the master of the village. Bao Meng's intention
If he's not good, we still have to be on guard against him taking advantage of the chaos to attack."
Du Chengjiang was startled and said: "Brother Zhang's words reminded me that Bao Meng must have something up his sleeve. His 500 soldiers and horses are still in the secondary camp, and they may cause chaos. We must rush to quell them."
Zhang Kang was also surprised and said: "What I'm saying is that without further delay, we have to strike first. Maybe they have already started to make a fuss."
Before Zhang Kang finished speaking, he suddenly heard the lights flashing on the side of the house in the south, and a group of soldiers and horses swarmed out holding torches. After a while, Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang got a few dozen steps away and saw clearly the two leading figures.
It was the two assassins who escaped in the chaos not long ago.
Zhang Kang was shocked. The opponent's soldiers and horses had actually attacked, which meant that the main stronghold had been opened. But he didn't know where the 1,000 men in the secondary stronghold were? Could it be that they had all been wiped out? But at a glance, the opponent
Zhang Kang not only felt contempt for the soldiers and horses he brought. Although those soldiers were holding gleaming swords, their equipment was only some tattered cloth shirts. Seeing this, Zhang Kang was determined. These soldiers
The rabble has no fighting power.
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing led 180 soldiers to arrive more than 20 steps away, and the two sides were at war with each other. Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang rushed to the front of the formation, and a man walked out slowly from the other side's formation and bowed his hands in salute.
"Commander Zhang, hello Leader Du. In the forest below is the military advisor of Luoyan Valley Dazhai. That person is the leader of Luoyan Valley Gao Dazhai. You're polite."
Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang were shocked when they heard this. They thought these were Bao Meng's men, but unexpectedly the other party turned out to be from Luoyan Valley, and even the leader of Luoyan Valley's village had arrived.
"Are you from Luoyan Valley? What's going on?" Du Chengjiang shouted in surprise.
"To be honest, this time we joined forces with the leader of Beishan Dazhai, Bao Dazhai, and took advantage of the alliance between Beishan Dazhai and your Shirenshan Dazhai. I came to Luoyangu Dazhai in disguise with the purpose of killing Zuo Zongdao.
, to ensure the safety of my Luoyangu Dazhai. Now that we have succeeded, we don’t have to hide our identity." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Zhang Kang shouted: "You are so brave, you broke into our Shiren Mountain stronghold and caused trouble and killed our stronghold owner. Are you tired of living?"
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Since we dare to come, we naturally don't care about life or death. The fact is that we succeeded. Zuo Zongdao died in my hands. The two leaders also saw it, not only Zuo Zongdao, but also the second and third village masters in your village
The master is dead. The only pity is that Miss Mo is also dead. I originally wanted to save her."
Zhang Kang said coldly: "You have committed a heinous crime. We were about to find you, but we didn't expect you to come to our door. If I were you, I should try my best to escape. How dare you turn back? You are asking for death."
road."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "We will not escape, our work is not finished yet. Two leaders, we are here to persuade you to surrender. My goal is to destroy your Shirenshan Dazhai, not just to kill one
Zuo Zongdao will finish the job. How can we leave before the job is finished?"
Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time.
"Such a loud tone, you must have lost your mind and gone crazy. I admit that you are quite courageous, but even though the leader of Zuo Dazhai is dead, there are still more than a thousand brothers in this village. You guys are not enough.
Surrender quickly if you know what you are doing, we respect you as a man and we won’t do anything difficult for you. We will leave your bodies intact." Zhang Kang laughed.
Lin Jue sighed: "Brother Zhang, I don't like hearing what you say. I admit that you have many people, but what's the use of having many people? Zuo Zongdao was heavily guarded, so wasn't he killed by my shot? Besides,
There are only a few people like you in this main stronghold. The soldiers and horses of your secondary stronghold are blocked from the stronghold gate. I have a hundred archers guarding the high-level ones. They can't get in for three days and three nights. I don't want to
Kill you, I just hope you can surrender immediately and submit to my Luoyangu Dazhai. We will treat you politely. You will still be reused, and we can even let you continue to be stationed in Shiren Mountain. However, Shiren
Shan Dazhai is under the jurisdiction of Luoyangu Dazhai. This condition is not bad."
Zhang Kang was shocked in his heart. The soldiers and horses in the secondary stronghold were blocked from the main stronghold. There were a hundred archers guarding the stronghold gate. It was impossible to attack it no matter what. But what surprised him even more was the opponent's ambition.
They have clearly stated their purpose, which is to destroy Shirenshan Village and annex Shirenshan territory. It is really surprising that the small Luoyan Valley Village has such huge ambitions.
"Don't have any wishful thinking. Even if they can't get in, we still have three to four hundred people here, and our strength is twice that of yours. You have no right to talk so loudly. Stop talking nonsense, let's have a fight, and I will sacrifice you.
The dead village master and his wife, pay homage to the two dead village masters." Zhang Kang shouted sharply.
Lin Jue sighed and said: "It seems that you really want to be the leader of the village. If you don't listen to all the good things I say, then don't blame me for not predicting what I said. Please think again."
"That's not necessary! Brothers, kill all these guys who broke into my village and went wild. There will be huge rewards afterward." Zhang Kang shouted, raising his knife and pointing forward.
More than 300 bandit guards heard the sound and rushed forward with shouts.
Lin Jue's face turned cold, and he retreated into the formation and ordered in a deep voice: "Two rounds of bows and arrows, shoot!"
