The first year of Zhongchu was one hundred and eighty-three years, and the autumn of the twenty-third year of Zhaode.

After several days of preparation, a troop of 10,000 people sailed out of Shangjing and marched towards Huotou Mountain in the east of Shangjing.

"This army was well-groomed, and the soldiers were in high spirits, and they sang all the way to the east. ”

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" asked Li Heng with a glared eye at the man.

"My lord, these are what the villains have seen with their own eyes. The man trembled, for fear of angering Li Heng.

"My lord, according to the subordinates, this city defense camp seems to have changed its appearance, but in fact, it is a jewel and a bad stone. Presumably, the scene just now was just for outsiders to see, and it was difficult to return from illness, so he Han Ming was able to change the old habits of the city defense camp in just a few months. ”

Li Heng listened to Li Wenjun's words and thought thoughtfully.

"Well, this official also thinks that something is wrong, and it does make sense to hear you say this. Measuring that he Han Ming has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult to correct the shortcomings of the city defense camp. In this way, you will find a way to send someone to find out the bottom and notify the bandits on the fire. ”

Hearing Li Heng's words, Li Wenjun hesitated.

"My lord, this ...... I'm afraid it's a little bad. ”

"What's not good? What do you mean it's not good, the real murderer of my second child has not yet been punished, and he Han Ming has harmed my eldest son again, this is good?"

"Since the lord said so, then the subordinates will arrange it. ”

Li Wenjun saw that Li Heng was so persistent, so he had to agree to come down.

The army walked neatly on the official road, the former city defense battalion dragged and dragged, and a group of people walked on the street, and the queue was not neat. The generals of those city defense battalions are either eating and waiting for death, or they are trying to mix for a few more years and then be transferred to other places, no one would have thought that the city defense battalion would become like a serious army.

Han Ming rode a horse and walked at the front of the group, followed by Zhao Ming and Zhang Dabiao.

On this expedition, according to Kuang Hua, there should be a lot of bandits, just in case, he brought a total of more than 10,000 people from the Thunder Battalion and the Agni Battalion, while Xu Hua's Swift Wind Battalion took on the task of patrolling Beijing.

Before leaving, Han Ming specially instructed Xu Hua to do a good job in patrolling Beijing, and not to be caught by someone with a heart, so as not to cause a lot of trouble.

After marching for about three days, the army marched to the foot of Huotou Mountain.

Han Ming went to the vicinity to find a high ground, stood on a high place, and looked at the surrounding terrain.

The four fields are open, there is a water source in the north, and you can observe the distance from the hillock, which is a good camping spot. He called Zhao Ming to him.

"General Zhao Ying, tomorrow I will take people into the mountains to explore the bottom of the bandits, and you will be responsible for taking care of the military camp. ”

When Zhao Ming heard Han Ming's words, he hurriedly stopped: "The commander can't help it, the commander of an army is the lifeblood of the army, if something happens, it is easy for the army to be disheartened and lead the army to rout." Please take back the command. With that, he knelt aside.

"As the commander-in-chief, I shouldn't be in danger, but the soldiers charge into battle and throw their blood, how can I shrink in the rear, as a general, I should be willing to die, and dare to be the first. If something happens to me, you're the boss. Han Ming shouted.

"Ruler ......"

Han Ming stretched out his hand and stopped Zhao Ming from continuing to persuade.

"I've made up my mind, so don't say anything more. ”

Zhao Ming knew that Han Ming had made up his mind, so he no longer insisted on saying more, stood up, and replied helplessly: "Obey the order." ”

After dealing with Zhao Ming, Han Ming looked at Zhang Dabiao next to him again.

"As for you, are you interested in doing it?"

As soon as Zhang Dabiao heard that he wanted to be a pioneer, he immediately became excited. Hurriedly replied: "Yes, willing, willing, Commander Xie." ”

Zhang Dabiao was afraid that Han Ming would retract the order, so he received the order, and hurried to prepare.

Han Ming looked at Zhang Dabiao's fiery figure and couldn't help laughing.

Then he turned his head and stared at Huotou Mountain again, and a raging fire ignited in his eyes.

This is the first battle he has stepped into the other world, and in this battle, he must win and not lose.

At this moment, in the treasure hall of Huotou Mountain.

Wu Mang was lying on the tiger chair, drinking wine and eating meat at the same time, and a group of people at the bottom of the steps were giggling, the table was full of wine, bones were all over the ground, and the corners of everyone's mouths were greasy and greasy, like crazy.

In the corner of the table, two people were discussing in a whisper in this noisy environment.

"Eh, big brother, you said that there is wine and meat here, why don't you have a girl to help us?"

One person replied drunkly: "Brother, you don't know, this time the brothers went down the mountain to rob the village, but they didn't expect to encounter a hard stubble." Even the big boss almost folded in. Hiccup......"

The man looked puzzled.

"Oh? There is still someone who can hurt the big boss, who is so powerful? If he really can't beat it, everyone will go together, I don't believe it, he can still stop the big guy. “

The other was gesturing with his fingers.

"I'll tell you, this person is amazing, we were ...... at the time"

"Report, the big boss, there is a situation. “

Before the man could finish speaking, a person hurriedly ran from outside the hall, and an order woke everyone up.

Wu Mang squinted and looked at the person who came, this is the spy from last time, his ability Wu Mang is still relatively recognized, this time looking at him like this, I have a bad feeling in my heart.

After the scout captain entered the hall, he knelt down on one knee in front of the steps and said, "The big boss, just now a brother found out that there is an army of the imperial court at the foot of the mountain, the number is probably quite a lot, there must be one or two hundred thousand, and it is camping at the bottom of the mountain at the moment. “

When the people who were drinking wine and eating meat heard this, they were dumbfounded, and the bowls of some people drinking fell to the ground, and they all panicked and began to shout and worry.

They didn't expect the officers and soldiers to come so quickly, this group of people was originally bandits. As the saying goes, thieves are afraid of soldiers, and when they hear that an army is coming, their first reaction is to hide.

However, Wu Mang was very calm, and the last time he attacked that army, he was emboldened, and he didn't have much fear. And he knew very well that Han Dang had built this place as solid as a gold solid, and it was simply delusional for this group of officers and soldiers to want to break in.

"Do you know who this person is?" Wu Mang asked.

"It is said that he is the newly appointed commander of the city defense battalion, named Han Ming. ”

Hearing this, he felt a little more stable in his heart, he had still heard of several people who were more powerful in Shangjing, as long as the people who came were not the hard stubble of Shangjing Fengjia and Gyeonggi Ying Liangshi, he still had the confidence to deal with it. So immediately make a quiet gesture.

When everyone saw the big boss's action, they were silent, waiting for the big boss to speak.

Seeing that the scene was quiet, Wu Mang cleared his throat and said, "Don't panic, big guy, it's just just officers and soldiers, it's not like we haven't encountered it." This Han Ming is still an unknown person who has never heard of before, and this group of people is a useless guy in the gang. The big guys just need to guard them well, and they don't need to be afraid. ”

When the panicked people heard this, they were like taking a reassuring pill, and patted their chests one by one, as if they were living for the rest of their lives.

Wu Mang continued: "Sun Laohu, you take your brothers to guard the gate of the village. He pointed to the other three leaders, "You guys, help the tiger, and report the situation at any time." “

Then he looked at Liu Er again, "Liu Er, you remember to arrange the various secret posts on the mountain, don't be served." Do you hear that?"

Liu Er, who was counting the account books, raised his head when he heard this, and replied: "Hey, I understand, you can rest assured that you are in charge, this group of officers and soldiers is just like that." “

Wu Mang didn't say anything more, looking at the people below, "Big guy, be vigilant, put away the drinks first, and when this group of officers and soldiers is gone, everyone will celebrate to their heart's content." Did you hear that?"

Everyone also knew the seriousness of the matter, and replied in unison, "Yes." “

So, in just half an hour, the entire Huotou Mountain immediately came alive, and the people in all positions cheered up to face the approaching Han Ming army.

The next morning, the sun was just shining on the ground. Han Ming led Zhang Dabiao and a team of 3,000 people, facing the rising sun, and began to march towards Huotou Mountain.

Han Ming wanted to go and see how powerful this Huotou Mountain was, and he even dared to rob the things of the imperial court.
