More than 3,000 people set off early in the morning.

Everyone marched all the way, and Han Ming was caught off guard when he wanted to fight the bandits.

Unexpectedly, when the whole army rushed to the front of the village, they saw a wall made of stones, which was seven or eight meters high. The walls are densely covered with flags and crowds, and you can see that you have been prepared at a glance.

Han Ming, who was standing outside the village, was really taken aback when he looked at this cottage like a small fortress.

He didn't expect the bandits from the other world to be so strong. No wonder he was asked to suppress the bandits, this was clearly to kill him, but now he has no way out, only a battle.

Zhang Dabiao next to him looked at this cottage and was also startled. He knew that ordinary bandits would not be like this at all, with such a tight defense and a neat lineup, this group of bandits was not ordinary.

He looked at Han Ming and said, "Commander, this gang of bandits is not simple, now we don't have siege equipment, and the soldiers can't go up, how can we break the village?"

Han Ming looked around and said, "Let the soldiers cut down trees on the spot, make battering rams and siege ladders, and let's try to attack them." ”

Zhang Dabiao arched his hand and said, "Get the order." ”

Then he turned his horse's head and ran to the back to cut down the trees.

Han Ming asked the soldiers in front of him to set up a formation in case the bandits came out to sneak attack, and carefully observed this cottage, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, such a city defense structure would definitely not be something that this group of bandits who had never seen the world could do, it seemed that there were people behind this group of bandits, and it must be people from the military, he immediately thought that there might be spies from the enemy country mixed in.

After waiting for almost an hour, the siege equipment was basically ready.

And the bandits in front of the village were not idle during this time, and from time to time one or two cold arrows were shot. There were one or two unlucky ones who were shot in the leg.

After everything was ready, Han Ming gave an order, and the army began to attack the village.

Because the entire mountain road is not spacious, it is difficult to attack the village, and only a hundred people can attack at most.

Moreover, these bandits had already been prepared, and waves of soldiers rushed up, and before they could climb the wall, they were knocked down. Some people fell from the ladder one after another, and the ram that attacked the fortress could not shake the gate.

Han Ming watched the army's casualties getting bigger and bigger, and decided to retreat first and then find a way.

Before Han Ming could order the troops to retreat, Zhang Dabiao was the first to bear the brunt of the top, followed by more than 100 people.

This Dabiao was behind Han Ming, seeing that the Zhaimen had not been able to attack for a long time, he was also in a hurry, and he didn't care about his identity, so he rushed up with his phoenix eyebrow knife.

When Han Ming saw his actions, he was worried on the one hand, and he was also expecting on the other. He asked the archers to storm the city wall to cover Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao is also brave, taking the lead, looking at the arrows that are shooting quickly, he flicks the head of the knife, bounces all the arrows away, and then rushes to the wall, and steps on the ladder.

The bandits had already noticed him, but Zhang Dabiao was too fierce, and arrows were shot from below, and before the bandits could make a move, he had already rushed to the wall.

A group of bandits were ready to beat him down, but Zhang Dabiao was too strong, not only swept everyone away, but also killed him all the way.

Then more soldiers climbed up the wall, everyone followed behind Zhang Dabiao, and gradually opened a hole in the city wall, along this opening, people climbed up one after another, and there began to be scuffle on the wall.

Han Ming looked at the situation on the wall, he was very happy, and saw that the village was about to be broken, but as soon as the gate of the wall was broken, he led the soldiers to rush in.

Sun Laohu was originally under the wall, urging the thieves to guard the gate of the village, and when he saw that people kept falling down the wall, he knew that something was wrong, and he carried a ghost head knife on the wall.

As soon as Sun Laohu went up to the wall, he saw Zhang Dabiao holding the phoenix eyebrow knife and opening and closing, killing in all directions.

When he saw that his brothers were dying around him, his eyes widened with rage, and he cried out angrily, "Brothers, shoot him with arrows." ”

"Yes. ”

Under the order, there began to be random arrows on the wall, some soldiers were shot down, and some bandits themselves were shot, but Zhang Dabiao didn't have a.

Seeing that Zhang Dabiao was not injured, Sun Laohu snatched the bow and arrow of a person next to him, and shot at his back while Zhang Dabiao was not paying attention.

This Sun Tiger is also stronger than the bandit, the bow he pulls is relatively full, and the arrow is too fast, although Zhang Dabiao noticed it, but he was still a little late, and only swept to the end of the arrow.

The arrow hit Zhang Dabiao in the right shoulder.

But at this time, he was already killing well, and he didn't care about this little injury.

Sun Laohu saw that Zhang Dabiao was injured, and his courage did not diminish at all, and he rushed forward with a big knife.

When the two first met, they fought together. It's just that this Sun Tiger is obviously at a disadvantage, if it weren't for Zhang Dabiao's right hand with an arrow, he couldn't use his strength, and this Sun Tiger would have been slashed alive by him.

However, he Zhang Dabiao was brave, the soldiers behind him were not good, the bandits continued to make up, Zhang Dabiao was restrained by Sun Laohu, this group of bandits stabbed at the soldiers who had just climbed the wall with spears, and the soldiers had no time to defend, and began to be beaten down the wall.

The soldiers on the wall also began to be unable to resist, and were knocked down one after another. After a while, there were only a handful of soldiers on the wall.

Seeing that the brothers around him had suffered heavy casualties and that the surrounding situation was very bad, Zhang Dabiao condensed his whole body, swept away with all his might, bounced a group of bandits away, and then shouted loudly: "Retreat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Laohu raised his knife and slashed over. Zhang Dabiao's body was full of battle energy, looming, and he raised the knife handle upside down with his backhand to block Sun Laohu's split, and then turned sideways, and the phoenix eyebrow knife dragged behind him and slashed away obliquely.

When Sun Laohu saw Zhang Dabiao's knife traces, he knew that something was wrong, and raised his knife to block it. But the force of this knife was too great, even if Sun Laohu could block it, he was slashed out with a knife.

Zhang Dabiao, who broke out in battle, showed great power on the wall, and the surrounding bandits were afraid of his knife and did not dare to approach.

Zhang Dabiao saw that the soldiers were almost retreating, so he shouted, and the phoenix eyebrow knife swept away, and after sweeping away the bandits, he reflexively jumped off the wall.

Han Ming had already noticed Zhang Dabiao's situation, and when he was worried, when he saw Zhang Dabiao jumping off the wall, he immediately sent archers to shoot arrows to cover, and let people pretend to attack the village, while covering Zhang Dabiao, he brought back the corpses of the soldiers under the wall.

When Zhang Dabiao retreated safely, Han Ming stared at the wall, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Retire. ”

With the sound of a gong, in an instant, the soldiers receded like a tide, leaving only a mess all over the ground.

When the bandits saw the officers and soldiers retreating, they all cheered on the wall, this was the first time they faced the officers and soldiers head-on, which was a great encouragement to them, and next, everyone will have more confidence to meet the officers and soldiers.

As soon as Han Ming returned to the barracks, he first asked people to take care of the wounded and asked Zhang Dabiao to go down to recuperate.

Then Zhao Ming and some generals were called into the account to discuss how to attack the village.

This discussion lasted for a day, and by the afternoon, everyone had not come up with a good solution.

Han Ming was so anxious in the tent that he was an ant on a hot pot, but this Huotou Mountain was like a fast hard stone, and he couldn't gnaw it down. If you can't bite Huotou Mountain, you won't be able to explain to the prince, which will inevitably attract the attack of some people in the court.

Just when everyone was anxious and clueless, a voice came from outside the tent.

"Report!"

This "report" attracted everyone's attention.

After a while, a scout entered the account. This was the scout sent by Zhao Ming to investigate the surrounding situation after Han Ming led the army away in the morning.

I saw that he was covered in injuries, looking embarrassed, and there were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.

When Zhao Ming saw him like this, he was surprised and said, "What happened." I told you to go out and survey the terrain, how did it come to this? And what about the other people?"

When the scout heard Zhao Ming's several inquiries, he immediately cried: "Will... General, we were looking around Huotou Mountain, and suddenly we found a village at the foot of the mountain on the eastern side of Huotou Mountain. We didn't know if it was the sentry point of the bandits, so we were going to cautiously touch it and investigate, but we didn't expect a big black man to run out of the village and knock us all down, if I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of the thieves by now. ”

Han Ming listened to the scout's words, and sighed that things were starting to get more and more difficult to handle, and he hadn't come up with a way to solve the bandits on this mountain, and another one appeared under this mountain, and it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight. Now the top priority is to serve the pot under the mountain first, and then solve the above, otherwise when the time comes, the mountain will support the mountain, and the two ends will be sandwiched, and he will be alone, and he will definitely lose.

Thinking of this, Han Ming ordered: "Zhao Ming, you guard the military camp, send more scouts to investigate, beware of the sneak attack of the bandits, tomorrow I will personally lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will definitely wipe out that group of thieves." ”
