Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Ming led an army of 5,000 to Huotou Mountain.

Before leaving, Han Ming specially instructed him to focus on harassment, supplemented by siege, and try to save the lives of the soldiers.

Zhao Ming was a little puzzled when he first received this task, and he didn't understand Han Ming's intentions after thinking about it for a long time. However, even if he didn't understand, he didn't think that the bandits could have much ability, and felt that Han Ming was still too young and lacked combat experience after all.

Along the way, Zhao Ming held the belief that he would win, and decided to finish his work in one battle, so as to solve this problem for Han Ming.

But when he first arrived at Huotou Cottage, Zhao Ming, who was very knowledgeable, was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

He had a preliminary idea of the bandit's ability in his heart since Han Ming's unsuccessful attack on the village, but when he really witnessed this fire-headed cottage with his own eyes, he realized that his idea was too simple.

He could also understand now why Han Ming had been beaten back in disgrace, and had made him so careful. This cottage, both sides are cliffs, the middle of the wall with stone and wood high, two wide gates, just looking at it gives people the feeling of solidity, this is a cottage, it is simply a fortress.

Standing in front of Huotou Village on horseback, looking at the thieves with high morale, Zhao Ming felt a nameless fire in his heart.

However, he was not Zhang Dabiao, his mind calmed down in an instant, he knew what his task was, he didn't have to do those meaningless things, which was why Han Ming asked him to carry out this mission.

Zhao Ming, who calmed down, began to order the soldiers to divide into two teams, each team was divided into several hundred people, and took turns to rush up to attack the village.

He asked the soldiers to carry the ladder only in front of the wall, and then changed to the cover of the archers, and then let the other team start to attack the city, so that the two teams took turns to attack the city with a few hundred men.

Zhao Ming's approach not only kept the bandits on guard at all times, but also avoided a large number of casualties when the soldiers climbed the wall. Of course, on the way to attack the village, it is inevitable that a few unlucky eggs will be hit by arrows, and these people can only be brought back by the soldiers when they retreat.

If Zhao Ming did this, the thieves of Huotou Mountain would be miserable. Especially Sun Laohu, he was under the wall, and he kept hearing people come to say that the officers and soldiers were attacking the village. He thought that the officers and soldiers had begun a large-scale attack on the wall, so frightened that he hurriedly ran up the wall, and found that this group of officers and soldiers had receded like a tide.

When he breathed a sigh of relief, another group of officers and soldiers rushed up. And from time to time, a few arrows came over, and the tiger was tormented.

In this way, in the morning, Zhao Ming's army launched twenty-seven attacks on the bandits.

This is also mixed with several real attacks on the wall, repeatedly attacking the wall, scared Sun Laohu is frightened, fortunately, there are many bandits, relying on him to support everywhere, barely able to hold. However, in order to block Zhao Ming's attack, he was also hit by an arrow in his left hand.

Seeing that the sun was past noon, Zhao Ming said to the generals beside him: "Pass the order, withdraw the troops, and return to the camp." ”

"Yes. ”

At the sound of the order, the surging army retreated like a tidal wave.

Sun Laohu was on the wall of the wall, watching the soldiers who were about to attack the village retreat in an uproar. He collapsed against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over. ”

However, the nightmare is far from over.

After Zhao Ming returned to the camp, Han Ming asked him to take another 5,000 soldiers to attack the village and take turns to attack and disturb. First, it was to conduct actual combat training, and second, it also made this gang of bandits tired and relaxed their vigilance.

In this way, Zhao Ming, in accordance with Han Ming's order, launched a harassing attack on Huotou Village for three consecutive days.

The bandits in Huotou Mountain are all rough people, and they don't know any scheming or military techniques, but they don't have any suspicions about the behavior of officers and soldiers.

In the past three days, the bandits have become accustomed to the incessant attack and retreat of the officers and men, and even if there are one or two actual attacks occasionally, it is nothing more than adding more manpower, and they have basically relaxed their vigilance.

Sun Laohu is a fierce man, and on the second day, he led people to rush out of the village, wanting to bend the prestige of this group of officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dabiao had already been waiting outside the village, and Zhao Ming was not a vegetarian, so he set up a basket array, and under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao, the thieves suffered a big loss.

After driving this group of bandits back, the official army even almost captured the gate during the counterattack.

If Wu Mang hadn't heard Sun Laohu rush out and brought someone over in time, this gate would have been broken.

Afterwards, Sun Laohu was also taught a hard lesson by Wu Mang because of this incident.

Speaking of Wu Mang, he was sitting in the treasure hall at the moment, and there were several leaders of Huotou Mountain in the hall, and everyone had been annoyed by the attacks of the officers and soldiers in the past few days.

"Damn, this group of people, they can't attack it, and they can't retreat well. It's fucking up to let me sleep unsettlingly, fuck. As soon as he thought of the actions of the officers and soldiers, Wu Mang was so angry that he scolded.

Liu Er next to him saw it and hugged him with a smile.

"Don't be angry. After watching the actions of the officers and soldiers in the past few days, I feel that this group of officers and soldiers is about to retire. ”

As soon as Wu Mang heard Liu Er's words, he turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Oh, how do you kid know?"

Liu Er pretended to be profound: "Big boss, haven't you noticed that this group of officers and soldiers is very fake? In my opinion, this group of officers and soldiers will not be able to attack our village, but they are embarrassed to make a difference, so they will make a show." However, if it is not a real attack on the ground, I think it is afraid that the casualties will be too large to explain. According to a small estimate, tomorrow will be the time for the officers and soldiers to retire. ”

After listening to this, Wu Mang thought for a moment and laughed.

"Well, you kid, you make a point. Yes, hahahaha, come, I'll give you a pot of wine. Wu Mang smiled and threw Liu Er a pot of wine.

Liu Er took it with a smile, "Xie Da is in charge." ”

This Liu Er, since Wu Mang became the big boss of Huotou Mountain, he followed the rising tide and became the head of the warehouse.

Since taking over Liu Han's warehouse, he has been walking with a lot of energy, and from time to time he gets some good things from the warehouse. The few small leaders who were with him also lived a nourishing life.

However, this move angered several other bandit leaders.

This den of thieves is not afraid of who is worse than whom, I am afraid that you will live better than me.

When Liu Han was in charge of the warehouse, he was cold and selfless, although the big guy didn't like it, but he couldn't find any fault. Now this Liu Er has made it clear how to satisfy his own pockets and convince everyone.

However, Liu Er was deeply appreciated by Wu Mang, and although the other leaders hated it, they had no choice.

Just when everyone was glad that the officers and soldiers were about to retreat, they were ready to arrange a big feast.

From the hilltop dam of Huotou Mountain, there was a burst of shouts and screams.

When Wu Mang heard the voice, he immediately sat up in shock.

At this time, a thief covered in blood ran in from outside the hall, and hurriedly said: "Big, big boss, suddenly a large number of officers and soldiers appeared on the dam. The brothers did not have time to react and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Wu Mang hurriedly ran up, grabbed the man and asked, "Damn, how did this group of officers and soldiers come up?"

The man was already dying, and when Wu Mang caught him like this, he immediately burped.

Wu Mang threw the person to the side, took his ghost-headed machete, and went straight to the dam, and the leader behind him also hurriedly rushed out.

At this moment, the dam of Huotou Mountain is full of corpses and broken arms.

Officers and soldiers and bandits fought all over the dam.

This time, Han Ming personally led more than 3,000 people to rush to the dam at the top of the mountain.

After two days of careful exploration by Han Yu and Hei Da, they had already explored the situation on the Huotou Mountain path clearly.

Today is the day when Han Ming took advantage of the slack spirit of the bandits to break the village.

Han Ming rushed to the front first, holding a spear in his hand, stabbing, picking, and sweeping, and waved it several times, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and this was still when he had no combat energy. In the group of bandits, it is like killing gods.

Seeing Han Ming like this, a spear was like a spiritual snake in his hand, and whoever bit it would either die or be disabled, and no one could stop Han Ming.

Casually pushing aside the bandits in front of him, Han Ming took the lead in rushing to the dam.

He turned back to Han Yu and Hei Da who followed behind him and said, "You bring people to help General Zhao open the gate of the wall, and I will stop this group of bandits." ”

Han Yu, who was following behind Han Ming, replied: "You have to order, the commander should be more careful." Dog, you take your personal guards to protect the commander. Big one, follow me and go open the gate. ”

"Yes. The big black man replied with a sullen head.

Afterwards, Han Yu took the big black man to kill in the direction of the walled gate.

At this time, the walled gate was also in full swing.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ming knew that he was going to attack the village today, and in order to avoid the suspicion of the bandits, he and Zhang Dabiao led 10,000 people to attack the village in two batches.

At first, after two feints, the attention of the bandits was relaxed.

Later, when Zhang Dabiao led the troops up, he came to a real and comprehensive attack.

And the person who took the lead in attacking the village was Zhang Dabiao.

He not only wanted to avenge the arrows of that day, but also the brothers who fell beside him for the protection of that day, and stabbed the tiger with their hands.

Because of Zhao Ming's feints in the past few days, although the bandits on the wall felt a little wrong, they didn't pay much attention to it.

It wasn't until Zhang Dabiao rushed to the bottom of the wall that the people who were frightened by Zhang Dabiao's majesty that day recognized him and hurriedly took up defense.

Sun Laohu also got the news for the first time, and led a large group of men and horses to rush to the wall, and he had a hunch that this attack by officers and soldiers might not be a small fight.

As soon as he went up to the wall, he met Zhang Dabiao.

This time is completely different from last time, last time Zhang Dabiao relied on his personal courage to rush to the wall.

This time, a large area on the walled wall was full of officers and soldiers and bandits fighting in a melee, and Zhang Dabiao was no longer fighting alone.

As soon as Zhang Dabiao climbed up the wall, he looked around for Sun Laohu, and it took a lot of effort to see Sun Laohu running up from under the wall. He immediately grabbed the phoenix eyebrow knife and slashed it.

Sun Laohu was shocked when he saw that the wall was broken everywhere, but when he saw that the entourage next to him was swept out by a phoenix-eyed machete, he hurriedly retreated. looked at it and saw Zhang Dabiao, who was beaten down by him that day.

This Zhang Dabiao saw that this Sun Tiger was Huoda.

That knife was originally intended to cut Sun Laohu directly in half, but he didn't expect that he was too anxious, and the knife was too early, and only cut the person next to him.

He froze, his whole body erupted with battle qi, dragged the phoenix eyebrow knife, and rushed towards Sun Laohu.

Sun Laohu was frightened by Zhang Dabiao's momentum, and before he could make a move to resist, he was cut off by a galloping knife, and the blood that spurted out of his neck rushed out six or seven zhang, spraying everyone around.

When the surrounding bandits saw their leader beheaded, they all had no intention of fighting, and shouted and retreated.

It just so happened that at this time, Han Yu and Hei Da rushed towards the gate of the village with their troops.

The big black man was like an ancient evil beast, holding two huge sticks in his hand, sweeping left and right, and after several swings, he couldn't see a standing bandit in front of him.

It happened that the bandits on the wall saw that Sun Laohu was beheaded, and they fled backwards.

This big black man, wielding two huge sticks like this, is like a stubborn stone in the countercurrent, against the torrent of thieves who fled in a hurry, and went up.

The soldiers behind him were pointed at the big black man, rushing against the current.

The big black guy and Han Yu killed all the way to the bottom of the walled gate, while Han Yu covered the big black guy and cut down the small leader of the bandits who was guarding the walled gate with one sword.

The big black man took advantage of this time to lift the horizontal log on the walled gate, and the walled gate, which was as solid as the city wall, was broken in an instant.
