———— the following text————

On September 28, when Ji Rong, a partial general of the Nanyang Army, led 2,000 Nanyang troops to the north of Kunyang County and arrived in the southeast direction of the foot of Heihuzhai Mountain, Guo Da issued an order on behalf of Zhao Yu to 'resist the attack'.

As soon as this order was given, the black tiger thief in the cottage was in an uproar.

After all, the army that came to encircle and suppress was not 200 people, but a full 2,000 people! Nearly four times the number of people he can fight in the Black Tiger Village!

With such a huge difference in numbers between the two sides, it is no wonder that those black tiger thieves were timid without a fight.

These people gathered outside the 'Juyi Hall' of the cottage, talking to each other and trying to unite to resist the orders of the leaders and leaders.

There are a few of them who are even creating panic.

"That's 2,000 soldiers! Not twenty, not two hundred, but two thousand! And they're all fucking regular soldiers...... What else is this fighting? Isn't this a death for nothing? ”

"yes, yes."

"I don't know what the leader thinks, why don't the leaders in the village say anything to dissuade them?"

Just when these people were panicking and discussing, Liu Tu walked by with a few people, pursed his lips disdainfully, and then smiled at a few brothers behind him: "Look at these newcomers, they are so scared that they don't even have their souls, it's really ugly." ”

"Hey, hey."

The bandits behind Liu Tu laughed.

I want to correct it here, at this moment, the people who are arguing and panicking outside the Juyi Hall basically refer to the newcomers who have defected to the cottage one after another in recent months, as for the old batch of black tiger thieves, such as Liu Tu, etc., they were surprised after learning the attitude of the above decision to fight against the two thousand Nanyang Army, and muttered a few words, "This is not very good", and then it is still time to eat, drink, and in terms of psychological endurance, it is much better than the newcomers in the village.

It's no wonder, after all, the old batch of bandits basically survived the three encirclement and suppression battles, and the officers and soldiers of the previous three encirclement and suppression of his Black Tiger Village added up to nearly 4,000 people, and even in the last encirclement and suppression, the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, Runan, and Yexian counties combined actually had nearly 2,000 people, so the number of Nanyang troops this time did not feel much for them.

But then again, not all newcomers are so unbearable, and even among the newcomers, there may not be no outlaws who look down on life and death, and even many of them have participated in the previous rounds of encirclement and suppression of Black Tiger Village - these people were on the side of the officers and soldiers at that time.

"What's the noise!"

Suddenly, there was a deep shout from the side.

Everyone was slightly startled, and subconsciously turned their heads to look, and even saw Chen Mo and Wang Qing walking towards this side from not far away.

Compared with Chen Molong's tiger steps, his stride posture is like a general, Wang Qing seems to be much more unruly, holding his head with both hands and swaggering, with a playful smile on his face.

"Grand Commander......

"It's the Grand Commander......"

After seeing Chen Mo, the newcomers who were complaining and raising objections unconsciously stopped talking.

They were very afraid of Chen Mo, after all, in the past few months, they have been trained by Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Chu Yan, and among them, the strictest requirements for them are none other than Chen Mo, who is training them like animals, but they can't beat this stern instructor, after being taught a few times by the other party with his fists, no one dares to challenge the authority of this Chen Da Commander.

"Line up!"

Looking around at the chaotic crowd, Chen Mo shouted.

I don't know if it's a habit that has been gradually cultivated by the fierce training in the past few months, and the newcomers who are still messy immediately lined up neatly, and they didn't even dare to squint.

I have to say that just looking at this discipline, it is really hard to imagine that these people are actually a group of bandits.

"Phew." Wang Qing whistled lightly.

“……”

Chen Mo looked at Wang Qing, who was not in shape, with displeasure, and immediately turned his gaze to the newcomers in front of him again.

Since Zhao Yu confirmed the position in the cottage in Luyang County a few months ago, the villagers in the cottage, regardless of whether they are old or new, have to accept Chen Mo's training, the only exception is the group of people who have been 'transferred' to the Brotherhood as the backbone.

And these newcomers in front of him were trained by Chen Mo himself.

Just like what he showed in front of Zhao Yu, Guo Da, Chu Jiao and others two days ago, Chen Mo was very confident in the people in front of him, he didn't think that the group of guys he had trained strictly would be inferior to the soldiers of the Nanyang Army, but it was a pity that these guys in front of him lacked confidence in themselves.

It is no wonder, after all, in this era, the world generally has a reverent mentality towards regular soldiers, especially the army like the Nanyang Army, which has been fighting on the front line for a long time.

After glancing at the neat queue of people in front of him, Chen Mo said in a deep voice in a slow tone: "The big leader has his considerations, and he won't let you wait to die in vain, if it can't be violated, the big leader will think of another way to retreat, and you don't need to wait here to point fingers." …… If anyone is too energetic, give me a few more laps. ”

Hearing the word drill, not to mention the newcomers who were taught a lesson, the villagers subconsciously shrank their necks one by one, and even Liu Tu and other old people who were watching the show not far away also changed their faces slightly, muttering "Let's go", and they ran away after a while.

After a fierce reprimand, Chen Mo ordered the disbandment of everyone, watching the group of people drooping their heads and scattering, he whispered to Wang Qing: "The fighting spirit of everyone is not high, you keep an eye on Liu Heimu for me to prevent him from taking the opportunity to incite everyone...... I'll go to the chief first. ”

"Hey, hey, I'm not your subordinate."

Although he retorted unhappily, Wang Qing's eyes still looked in the direction of the house where Liu Heimu lived, and he didn't know what to think, he licked his lips, and a few fierce lights flashed in a pair of tiger eyes, and they disappeared in a flash.

After a while, Chen Mo came to Zhao Yu's house.

At this time, Zhao Yu was sitting at the table in the room, staring at a map he had drawn in front of him in contemplation, while Jing Nu was cleaning up the utensils in the room.

"Chief, the Grand Commander asks to see you." There are bandits on duty who are reported.

"Yes, please."

Zhao Yu glanced up at the door of the house, and immediately, Chen Mo walked in from outside the house, and hugged his fist towards Zhao Yu: "Leader." ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you make me very embarrassed like this." ”

Hearing that big brother Chen, Chen Mo's tense face showed a slight smile, and while sitting down on the stool next to the table, he said with a little disgust: "Since the rules of the village have been set, it is better to follow the rules of the village." …… I don't want Guo Da to bother me all the time. ”

"This ......"

Hearing Chen Mo mention Guo Da with a little disgust, Zhao Yu also smiled bitterly.

Since Zhao Yu told Guo Da his true identity, Guo Da has gradually become a little ...... Weird.

For a while, Guo Da was keen to equip Zhao Yu with pomp and circumstance that was in line with the identity of 'Zhao's second son', such as buying a mansion in Kunyang County and inviting hundreds of people as domestic servants.

After being politely rejected by Zhao Yu, Guo Da sent someone to get some expensive furniture from there, and filled the room belonging to Zhao Yu and Jingnu to the brim.

At that time, looking at Guo Da's satisfied appearance, Zhao Yu looked at this nouveau riche rustic house again, and stopped talking several times, but finally he was embarrassed to say anything to Guo Da.

Even, Guo Da also formulated relevant rules to maintain Zhao Yu's authority in the village rules, although there was no problem at first glance, but Guo Da drummed up a set of relevant etiquette - the embarrassing thing is that most of the etiquette is Guo Da's hearsay, and the rest don't know if he came up with it himself, in short, it makes Zhao Yu as a party quite embarrassed.

At that time, Zhao Yu gradually realized that Guo Da was an 'aristocratic fan' with inexplicable longing and yearning for aristocratic status, although he himself was a commoner who had fallen into the grass.

Shaking his head to divert the topic from Guo Da's 'quirks', Zhao Yu asked Chen Mo: "I heard a commotion in the village just now, are they the brothers in the village?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Mo didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Two thousand Nanyang soldiers, even the old people will be jealous, and I don't blame those newcomers, but I personally think that even if they are the soldiers of Nanyang, they may not be so unbearable, but they themselves don't have this confidence." ”

"Confidence is something that needs to be built up slowly." Zhao Yu said with a smile.

In fact, his decision to fight against Ji Rong's two thousand soldiers this time is, to a certain extent, mainly to train the courage of the people in the cottage, after all, the Black Tiger and Kunyang's Brotherhood are different, at least in Zhao Yu's heart, the 'positioning' is different, if the Brotherhood is the seedbed of the Black Tigers, then the Black Tigers are the 'martial arts', that is, the army, and the main combat force of Zhao Yu's revenge in the future.

If he was frightened by a partial general, how could Zhao Yu dare to use him to take revenge in the future? After all, his enemy, even the proverb that was pushed out of front of the scene, was a county lieutenant-level figure.

At this time, Chen Mo noticed the map on the table and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "If you ask if you are sure that you have survived this encirclement and suppression, then I have full confidence, and it is a big deal to abandon the main village; But if you ask me if I'm sure I'll defeat those 2,000 soldiers, I'm not sure......"

Regarding the information of the 2,000 Nanyang soldiers under Ji Rong's command, Zhao Yu has already found out clearly in the past few days, because the warehouse officials of the Kunyang County Warehouse who transported grain and grass to Ji Rong were among the members of the Brotherhood.

According to sources, the 2,000 Nanyang soldiers under Ji Rong's command can be roughly divided into 1,000 spearmen, 500 sword and shield soldiers, and 500 crossbow soldiers.

There is no cavalry, only the partial general Ji Rong and several Quhou-level generals in the army are equipped with war horses, which is undeniably good news.

The so-called spearmen, that is, foot soldiers armed with spears and wearing thick cowhide armor, are the most common existence in armies from ancient times to the present, and can be used for fighting in almost most environments, generally as a forward on the battlefield.

Therefore, after a war, they suffered the heaviest losses.

Compared with the longer spearmen, the sword and shield soldiers are much more sophisticated, armed with long swords and leather shields, they can be called the real backbone of an army, in most cases, once the defense line composed of sword and shield soldiers is defeated, then this battle is basically far away, and it is almost difficult to turn the tables again.

As for the crossbowmen, as the name suggests, they are soldiers who use bows and crossbows to kill the enemy, and they can play a very terrifying lethality with the cooperation of multiple arms, but once they are approached by the enemy, in addition to the crossbowmen who have undergone relevant training, they may use their short weapons to meet the enemy, and in most cases it is the result of a tragic slaughter.

In general, the two thousand Nanyang soldiers under the command of General Ji Rong can be called 'standard', that is, there are no serious shortcomings, and they are suitable for most environmental battles.

With such an army to encircle and suppress a group of bandits of hundreds of people, there is almost no possibility of defeat.

Even if it was Zhao Yu, he would not be conceited enough to dare to confront the two thousand soldiers on the opposite side with only five or six hundred bandits, and the reason why he dared to try it was because he - to be exact, he was in the Black Tiger Village, and he had a dependence.

That is the immovable mountain formation located on the southeast slope of the Black Tiger Main Village, the cobweb narrow road!

"Bell, bell!"

"Bell, bell!"

The sound of the cymbals on behalf of the alarm sounded in the main village of the Black Tiger, which alarmed Zhao Yu and Chen Mo, who were discussing in the house.

Just as Zhao Yu frowned, he saw a burly strong man Niu striding into the house, shouting: "Ah Hu, the officers and soldiers have assembled at the foot of the mountain, and they look like they are going to attack the mountain." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yu was stunned, and then said with a chuckle: "When I first arrived, I decided to attack the mountain without camping first, that general Ji is very confident." …… Let's go, let's see. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and told Chen Mo again: "The Great Commander assembles the brothers as soon as possible!" ”

"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded.

Not to mention that Chen Mo went to gather the brothers in the cottage, but only said that Zhao Yu led Jingnu and Niu Heng to the open space outside the main village, and looked down at the mountain.

As far as he could see, the two thousand officers and soldiers had lined up in an array at the bottom of the mountain at this moment, and he could vaguely see a general standing in front of the array on horseback, and that was probably Ji Rong.

『…… If we can settle the battle in one battle, we can save the effort of setting up camp, does that mean?'

Zhao Yu thought with interest.

He didn't panic at all, because on the hillside on this side, there was a 'immovable mountain formation' of their Black Tiger Village, even if it was a Nanyang soldier under the mountain, it might not be easy to attack the cottage.

Even, these people may not be able to find the right path to his cottage.

"Come on, just let me test the usefulness of the 'Cobweb Narrow'!"

Staring at the Nanyang Army under the mountain, Zhao Yu said secretly in his heart.

At the same time, Ji Rongzheng, the general of the Nanyang Army, was standing in front of the battle horse on his horse, looking up at the southeast slope of Yingshan Mountain in front of him.

The hill where the main village of the Black Tiger Village is located was set on fire by Ma Gai last year, and the trees below the halfway of the mountain were burned to the ground, and later because of the Black Tiger Village itself, the trees above the halfway point of the mountain were also cut down by the Black Tiger thieves themselves, so that at this moment, Ji Rong looked at the top of the mountain and could clearly see the main village.

It's easy to find the goal, and the rest is to find the path......

"Huh?"

While looking at the path in the mountain, Ji Rong frowned slightly.

Is it because you haven't found the path? No, on the contrary, on this side of the hill, he saw a smooth mountain road.

And the scouts he sent out to inquire also verified this when they reported back: there are smooth mountain roads in the mountains.

Those smooth mountain roads are obviously not naturally formed, if nothing else, they must have been built by those black tiger thieves on the opposite side......

A group of bandits actually know how to build roads, and Ji Rong also thinks it's quite interesting.

However, in this way, it will be easier to attack the mountain, at least along the smooth mountain path and go straight up.

Thinking of this, Ji Rong called out in a deep voice: "Hou Wu! Zhu Liang! ”

As soon as the words fell, two Qu Hou rode out, stopped on the side in front of Ji Rong, saluted with fists, and responded in unison: "The end will be." ”

I saw Ji Rong raise his hand and point to Yingshan in the distance, and ordered: "Hou Wu, I order you to be the vanguard general, and you will lead the troops to attack this mountain." …… Zhu Liang, you sweep the battle for him, if Hou Wu leads the army to attack the top of the mountain, you immediately lead troops to support. ”

"Obey."

Hou Wu and Zhu Liang responded with their fists in their fists.

Under Ji Rong's order, Hou Wu and Zhu Liang each led 500 spearmen, one after the other, towards Yingshan in front of them.

Hou Wu was in front, and when he got close to the hill, he saw at a glance that there was a smooth mountain road winding upward.

Hou Wudang even laughed and said: "This group of black tiger thieves is really different from other bandits, they actually dare to build roads in front of their homes, I don't know if they have washed their necks and waited to be slaughtered......

Hearing this, the nearby soldiers all laughed.

But isn't it, the most headache is that the bandits hide in the mountains, and the roads in the mountains are difficult to travel, which makes the officers and soldiers who go to the encirclement and suppression miserable, but this group of black tiger thieves is good, and they actually built a road at the door of their homes.

With a contemptuous smile on his face, Hou Wu drove his war horse and led his soldiers along this mountain road towards the mountain.

However, this mountain road is a winding mountain road, which means that it does not lead directly to the top of the mountain, but slowly ascends in a spiral, but the road is quite smooth.

The fly in the ointment is that this mountain road is not wide, and even a little narrow, some places can reach two zhang, while others are only about one zhang, this width, at best, can only be carried by a horse-drawn carriage.

As I walked, there was a sudden fork in the road ahead, one to the left and one to the right.

And at the fork in the road, there is a sign with an arrow to the left engraved on it.

"Hey!"

Hou Wu laughed out loud, and he suddenly felt insulted.

After all, the road on the left, you can see at a glance that the road is down, and it is clear that the road on the right is correct, but the bandits are trying to deceive him with this trick that even a three-year-old child can't fool.

"Right!"

With a wave of his hand, Hou Wu took the lead in riding his horse onto the road on the right.

However, full of self-confidence, he soon came to the end of this road, a cliff as high as three or four feet.

"Dead end? Is the right way to go on the left?'

Thinking of his full self-confidence, he suddenly felt inexplicably ashamed.

And at this moment, many figures appeared on the cliff in front of them.

One of them was holding two knives, and one of the knives was pointed at Hou Wu and the others and laughed: "Haha, this group of fools has clearly marked you...... It's called being smart! Little ones, release the arrows! ”

Hearing this, Hou Wu was angry and anxious, and ordered repeatedly: "Retreat!" Back off! ”

However, it was still too late, and under Wang Qing's order, many black tiger thieves stood on a high place, holding bows and crossbows and shooting arrows at the Nanyang soldiers who were on the dead road below.

Some people even threw down big rocks and mud blocks.

The Nanyang soldiers under Hou Wu's command were basically spearmen, almost no crossbowmen, and due to the terrain, they couldn't reach the black tiger thieves standing on a high place, so they could only be beaten in vain.

Fortunately, they were all wearing cowhide armor, and the Black Tiger Thief's bow and crossbow were weaker, except for some unlucky guys who were shot directly and killed on the spot, but in general the loss was not large.

"Stand back! Back off! ”

Amidst the shouts, Hou Wu led his soldiers back from the dead end to the fork and took the road on the left.

At this time, he suddenly realized that although from the location of the fork, the road on the left seemed to be going down the mountain, but he didn't expect it to be just a trick, and after moving forward for about dozens of feet, the road surface was quickly raised - this is really a fucking road to the mountain!

However, before Hou Wu could be happy, another fork in the road appeared, and there were still two forks in the road.

In the same way, there is a sign at the fork with an arrow pointing to the left.

"I don't believe it!"

His face sank, Hou Wu pointed to the road on the right and ordered an uncle: "Liu Qiao, you go and explore the way!" ”

"Yes!"

The uncle named Liu Qiao led his hundred soldiers towards the road on the right, while Hou Wu waited for news at the fork.

After a while, he suddenly heard the arrogant laughter of the bandit in the mountains again: "Haha, learn smart...... But did they send these people to their deaths? ”

Immediately after, there was a burst of shouts and screams.

"Quhou, Quhou."

After a short time, the uncle named Liu Qiao retreated to the fork in a hurry, hugged his fists towards Hou Wu and said, "Qu Hou, the right side is a dead end." ”

"These damn bandits......

Glancing at the arrows on the uncle's body, Hou Wu scolded secretly and waved his hand: "Go to the left!" ”

Under his command, the Nanyang soldiers stepped on the road on the left, but after less than a mile, there was another fork in the front, and this time it was even more excessive, there were three forks in the left, center, and right.

Unlike the previous two times, this time only one line was written on the wooden sign erected at the fork: It's not more than three, guess for yourself.

Is this being molested?

"Damn!"

In a fit of rage, Hou Wu drew his sword and cut down the wooden card to the ground, and then looked at the three forks in the road in front of him with anger on his face.

To be on the safe side, he sent one of his elders to explore the way, and finally confirmed that only the right road seemed to be a way of life, and the left and middle two roads were dead ends.

"Go to the right!"

Holding back the anger in his heart, Hou Wu led his soldiers to the right.

I didn't expect to go far, and two more roads appeared in front of me, and what was surprising was that these two seemed to be life roads, but they led to different locations.

"This ......"

Standing at the fork, Hou Wu's face showed a little hesitation.

At the same time, the partial general Ji Rong was still standing at the foot of the mountain on horseback, frowning, and looking puzzled at the soldiers under Hou Wu's command going around the mountain, and they were still halfway up the mountain for a long time.

"What are you doing, Hou Wu?"

Frowning, Ji Rong pinched the reins impatiently.

At the same time, Zhao Yu was also standing on the top of the mountain, looking down at Hou Wuyi, who had gone deep into the mountain.

“…… It would be even more perfect to plant some trees later. He muttered.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the 'spider web narrow road' that Zhao Yu relied on this time is essentially an intricate labyrinth composed of multiple mountain roads.
