Poor Mountain.

It's really poor.

The mountain was not large, but it looked like a large bag of earth made of rocks and earth, and not only was there not a single tree in sight, but there was very little grass, and there were some low thorn bushes growing sparsely on the ground.

Zhu Youzhen at the foot of the mountain looked at the bandit team on the mountain and was very emotional.

I thought it would be a relaxing game of cat and mouse, but I didn't expect it to become what it looks like now.

The first thing he didn't expect was that when this bandit team stormed Tai'an City, they actually released scouts to guard the perimeter, which made his raid plan bankrupt.

The second thing I didn't expect was that the leader of the other party was very decisive, obviously he only had more than a thousand cavalry, and at that time the other party had almost captured half of Tai'an City, but after discovering himself, he immediately withdrew from Tai'an City.

The third didn't expect that this bandit team was extremely strict in its orders, and when they said they would retreat, they would retreat cleanly. Zhu Youzhen has also exterminated many bandits, generally speaking, when attacking such a relatively rich city, the bandits will generally lose control, killing and looting will become the theme, and the control of the bandit leader over the team will be reduced to a minimum. However, this realization was shattered by the bandits in front of him.

The fourth didn't expect that this bandit, on top of their retreat, actually kept guards, which also made Cao Bin's idea of cutting off his back road and giving a fatal blow on the way they fled was useless.

After the Taishan bandits abandoned Tai'an City, those attached mobs immediately scattered among the four towns and eight wilderness, hiding weapons in their hands, how can you tell whether he is a bandit or a citizen? If it had been before, Zhu Youzhen would of course take the easiest way, which would be to kill them all. But now, he's not going to do that.

The bandits gathered on the poor mountain at the moment are obviously the core team of the Taishan bandits, but they give Zhu Youzhen a little headache. Don't look at the poor mountain, but the terrain is extremely dangerous, bare and not even covered up, what makes him even more uncomfortable is that the mountains are full of large and small stones, so that the cavalry under his command has no intention of rushing forward.

Dismount your own cavalry as infantry attacks? If this is done, of course, the bandits in the mountains will not be able to stop them, but how many people will die themselves?

Zhu Youzhen has led the army for many years, and when she was a baby, she was held in Lao Tzu's arms and galloped on a horse, and she could barely climb on the horse, so she had a war horse of her own. He began to lead troops in his teens, from suppressing bandits and opening his mother to fighting various armies, his combat experience is incomparably rich.

The current Taishan bandits look to be dressed in tatters, and only about half of them have armor, but Zhu Youzhen glanced at the defensive lineup arranged by the other party on the mountain, and his head hurt for a while.

It's not that he can't fight down, the problem is, he doesn't want to pay anything. Of his 3,000 people, he feels distressed when he dies! At the moment, his strength is limited, and he feels that it is simply too much to make him pay for the death and injury in front of these bandits.

"This group of bandits is not simple, the leader is a soldier." Cao Bin stood in front of Zhu Youzhen and looked at the mountain in surprise. The bandits on the mountain are not idle, and they are still busy arranging at this time.

"General Cao, you said that if we attack, how many people will have to die before we can attack the mountain and take them down?" Zhu Youzhen turned her head and asked.

"Your Royal Highness, attack the mountain, and the casualties will only reach about 100 people. It's hard to say how many people died, our armor is good, these bandits should not have many crossbows, and most of the bows and arrows should also be soft bows. Cao Bin said. After going up the hill to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, if the opponent is strong, more people will die. ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was a little ugly: "They have a lot of crossbows!" You just arrived, and you don't know much about the situation on the Tai'an side, they control almost half of the city, and they have stolen a lot of crossbows from the garrison in the city. Crossbow bolts may be fewer. ”

Cao Bin's face suddenly became ugly, and the efficiency of the crossbow and armor piercing was much stronger than that of the bow and arrow. Within thirty or forty steps, the crossbow can almost reach 100% armor piercing.

"Three hundred people should be able to wipe out the opponent!"

Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly: "But I don't even want to pay the price of thirty people." ”

There was a commotion in the distance, and the two of them looked in the direction of Tai'an.

"It should be Wu Kejin from Tai'an Province here." Cao Bin said. "It looks like there are more than 2,000 people."

Zhu Youzhen looked at the rolling team in the distance with an unkind face, "The dignified officers and soldiers, the marching lineup, not even a bandit." The Tarzan bandits have fled to the poor mountains for so long, and even you have done it, and they have only gathered their troops to come at this time, and I estimate that if they didn't know that we were here, they wouldn't have dared to go out of the city at all. ”

Cao Bin said with a smile: "If we weren't here, Tai'an Mansion would probably have fallen into the hands of this Tian Guofeng at this time." ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes narrowed: "This is a waste, General Cao, I said earlier that this person has a huge amount of money, if we don't come, all this money will be cheap for this Taishan bandit." ”

Cao Bin smiled knowingly: "So if we take this money, shouldn't we also deserve it?" In the hands of this waste, it is just used to eat and drink nonsense, arrogant and lascivious, if it falls into the hands of the Third Highness, it can do a lot of serious things. ”

"Will he willingly give it to me?" Zhu Youzhen touched her chin and smiled.

"Why don't we get it ourselves?" Cao Bin said: "This Wu Ke goldfish meat people, so that the people in the territory are not happy, bandits are rampant, His Royal Highness came to Pinglu on the order of His Majesty this time, and he has the responsibility of inspecting the world for His Majesty. ”

"That's right!" Zhu Youzhen said: "For the sake of the beam, such a scumbag deserves to die." However, these clans are strong and strong, and they have soldiers in their hands, and I estimate that these people he can gather now have something to do with his Wu family! If you want to kill him, do you really have to work hard? ”

Cao Bin pointed to the Taishan bandits on the poor mountain and said, "Wu Kejin is the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture, and now the bandits have been trapped here by us, isn't it his duty to exterminate the bandits?" Coincidentally, we can also see how this bandit fights is? ”

"Just do what General Cao said." Zhu Youzhen clapped her hands and said. "He's here, let's meet him first, and see what kind of person this Wu Kejin is!"

The army stopped at a distance, and the group hurried.

"Wu Kejin, the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture, has seen His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is coming, he should have greeted him from afar, and he didn't want Taishan to be a bandit, so that the lower officials could not go out of the city, which was really a sin. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is famous, and the bandits are famous and fearless, and now they are besieged here by His Royal Highness, which is really the surname of the people of Tai'an, the luck of Pingji, and the luck of our Liang! Wu Kejin fell to the ground, saluted respectfully, and stood up to look at Zhu Youzhen.

What a good-looking man!

Looking at Wu Kejin in front of him, Zhu Youzhen was a little distracted for a while, this person is really good-looking, really a handsome person, this appearance, he is incomparable, standing in front of him at this moment, neither humble nor arrogant, with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, between words, occasionally looking at the bandits on the poor mountain, the anger is overflowing.

"Is Tai'an Mansion so chaotic? Just bandits, they actually dare to attack the city of Tai'an? Zhu Youzhen looked at each other and said coldly. If it weren't for the coincidence that we came, wouldn't the city of Tai'an Mansion be broken by the Taishan bandits? ”

was questioned by Zhu Youzhen, Wu Kejin was not in a hurry: "His Royal Highness learned that Tian Guofeng, the leader of the Taishan bandits, was originally a native of Tai'an, and he was very familiar with the local area, and he also had many comrades, but in the past, he didn't dare to be so rampant, it was because Hou Shuai recently withdrew a large number of troops from my Tai'an, which made him so rampant." But even so, Wu also has a way to destroy him. ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at the other party sarcastically: "Really?" Why do I see that the other party has invaded the city of Tai'an? ”

Wu Kejin smiled and arched his hand: "This highness doesn't know anything." Taishan bandits come and go like the wind, has always been difficult to exterminate, but this time they actually dared to attack the city, in order to do it once and for all, so the lower officials set up a plan to invite the king into the Weng, it is to lure this bandit into the city, the lower officials have laid a net in the city, and they are about to annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

Listening to each other's words, Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin were both a little dumbfounded. They really couldn't imagine that someone could be so brazen as to say nonsense with their eyes open, without blinking their eyes, and when they said this, their demeanor was natural, and they were completely under control.

The world is so big that there are no surprises.

Glancing at Cao Bin, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "I see, that's the king's troubles, and it's a big deal for the Wu Governor's Mansion." ”

"No, no, no. Although the lower officials set this plan to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop, but after all, after the bandits enter the city, it will cause great losses to the city of Tai'an Mansion, and now His Royal Highness has a clever plan, but he is to surround the opponent on this lonely mountain where no grass grows, not only can annihilate the bandits, but also let the people of Tai'an Mansion not be disturbed, this is really a great achievement for the benefit of the people! The lower officials represent the people of Tai'an, thank you to the Third Highness! Wu Kejin said solemnly, and at the same time slammed to the ground.

Zhu Youzhen laughed: "In this way, I feel much more comfortable." By the way, these heroic generals, won't Governor Wu introduce them to me? ”

"These people are all the commanders of my Tai'an Mansion, and the officials are introduced to His Highness!" Wu Kejin summoned a row of generals behind him with a spring breeze on his face, and introduced them to Zhu Youzhen one by one, and sure enough, all of them were surnamed Wu.

"Okay, good, sure enough, they are all young and handsome." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "I didn't know that the Wu Governor's Mansion had set a clever plan and ruined the Wu Governor's Mansion's major affairs, so now, I won't have much to do, so I will take the battle for the Wu Governor's Mansion here, and ask the Wu Governor's Mansion to send troops to destroy these bandits, right?" ”

"This is Tai'an's business, so we won't go beyond the bud." Cao Bin on the side is also smiling and smiling.
