Chapter 113: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven
Saying goodbye to those heroes in the rivers and lakes, Cheng Yanjin returned to Changbai Mountain with the people and horses, and found that everything was normal in the cottage and nothing happened. After resting for two days, Cheng Yanjin ordered his soldiers to break them into pieces, disguise themselves, and march towards Liu's domineering old nest.
Now that nearly a year has passed since Liu Badao's uncle army made a feud with the Salt Gang, Cheng Yanjin really can't wait, those brothers who died in vain are watching with their eyes open underground, and he should have sent the damn Liu Badao down to accompany the brothers earlier.
It's just that the current situation is different from before, and he can't blatantly attack that Liu Badao. After all, Li Shimin only came to make peace with himself on behalf of Li Valve some time ago, and when he turned around, he killed his little brother, Li Shimin was not very good-looking in front of him, and his reputation was not very good.
There is a saying that 'even if you are a bitch, this chaste archway will still stand.' Although it is said that he has always been unscrupulous, he can't help this reputation, people live with faces and live skins.
Although many forces know that Uncle Jun is Li Valve's dog, and they also know their grievances with Li Valve, but as long as they don't show traces when they do it, what can Li Valve do to himself? At least on the surface, they would not dare to launch a large army to retaliate.
Whether it is Cheng Biting Jin or Li Jiancheng, they all can't wait to break the other party's corpse into thousands of pieces. But since everyone has reconciled on the surface and become good friends, then they can't mess around, lest the world be ashamed. As for privately, if you have the ability, you will kill the other party without a trace. If you don't have the ability, then keep your mouth shut honestly and wait for the other party to kill you.
According to the news from the Salt Gang Vermilion Bird Hall, Liu Badao still stayed in his old nest, and came out to loot every now and then. Just when Cheng Biting Jin was at Yanmen Pass, the secret agents of the Vermilion Bird Hall were not idle, and searched carefully around the bean Zihang several times, and found two hidden mountain roads that were barely passable.
In order to be able to hit the enemy by surprise, Cheng Yanjin divided his men and horses into several teams and sent them out in batches in the name of plunder. After all, his hero will be regarded as a big force in Changbai Mountain, and there are people watching every move, not to mention that there are spies from all parties mixed in with his subordinates, in order to be hidden, Cheng Yanjin did not tell those subordinates the destination of this trip, but just ordered a few henchmen who took the lead, and asked them to pretend to loot and bring the team to the vicinity of Douzihang unknowingly for concentration.
Ordered the things on the cottage properly, leaving some masters to guard the fire ding, Cheng Yanjin personally led the people of the Wind Department down the mountain. After Yanmen Pass and his entourage, because he successively robbed more than 200 high-quality war horses of the Turks, Cheng Yanjin was expanded by the Wind Department and reached more than 1,000 people. Of course, only more than half of the more than 1,000 people are martial arts masters, and the rest are just making do with some foreign masters. After all, this martial arts master has not yet flooded to the point where it can be seen everywhere.
Douzihang is a long distance away from Changbai Mountain, in order not to arouse the vigilance of other forces, especially the attention of Liu Badao, Cheng Yanjin led the people down the mountain, deliberately turned a corner, and walked nearly a hundred miles to the east before suddenly turning in the direction of Douzihang.
There are more than 17,000 people in the Heroes Association, Cheng Yanjin left 2,000 people in the cottage to watch the house, and the remaining 15,000 people were divided into five brigades, along different paths, from different directions, in batches and in batches and in different directions, they converged at a place more than ten miles away from Douzihang.
Looking at Dou Zihang, who looked a little hideous at night, Cheng Yanjin turned his head and asked Zhang Liang beside him, "Have all the manpower been arranged?" Seeing him nodding, Cheng Yanjin was relieved. All the men of the Heroes Club who came down the mountain have been concentrated in this temporary hiding place.
Now that they have come here, those smart people in the team naturally know what Cheng Yanjin's purpose is. Cheng Yanjin didn't believe it, that Li Valve did not install secret agents under him. In order to prevent some of the people from slipping out to tell the truth, Cheng Yanjin arranged for Zhang Liang to send the original salt gang to conduct inspections, so as not to be sold and not know.
Long before going down the mountain, Cheng Jin, who was easy to defend and difficult to attack, arranged a strategy, and the most important one was to take it by surprise. After all, Liu's domineering uncle army has more than 100,000 horses, and if he wants to annihilate him with this little manpower in his hands, only a sneak attack can be successful.
Therefore, this secrecy naturally became a top priority. Otherwise, if Liu Badao learned the news, with the 15,000 men and horses in his hands and his fair confrontation, it would be pure fool's dream to win.
Hearing the noise from the mountains not far away, Cheng Yanjin nodded with satisfaction. According to the law of action of the uncle's army, today is the day when they go out to make a fortune. After the looting, according to the old rules, it is natural to share the spoils and celebrate. Cheng Yanjin planned to launch an attack when these bandits were negligent in their defense, which would be conducive to killing and injuring the enemy on a large scale in the moment of the confrontation.
Glancing at the people and horses behind him who were ready to go, Cheng Biting Jin waved his big hand and took the lead in sailing towards the beans not far away. It's night and the sky is full of stars. A group of centaurs walked silently on the path in the blurred starlight. When he set off, Cheng Yanjin had already given a strict order, and all the horses and horses were wrapped in soft cloth on their feet, so as not to make the slightest sound, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the enemy.
In order to prevent some people in the team from deliberately violating and reporting to the enemy on the mountain, Cheng Yanjin ordered his subordinates to monitor each other, and if there was a violator, they would be killed immediately. The murderous word 'kill' order really had an effect, and tens of thousands of horses walked on this hillside path without making much noise.
Looking at the bright lights and loud voices in the cottage not far away, Cheng Yanjin, who was lurking in the dark, turned his head and asked the herald beside him, "All the centaurs are already in place?" Seeing this herald nodding, Cheng Yanjin held the big plate axe with both hands, "Then what are you waiting for, put a signal and attack!" ”
As a skyrocketing firecracker turned into fireworks in the bright night sky, the heroes who had long been ready to go were like ghosts in the night, miraculously appearing from all directions of the cottage, waving the bright weapons in their hands, and killing the drunken uncle and thieves in the cottage.
Following Cheng Yanjin to rush to the middle of the cottage, in addition to the cavalry of the Wind Department, there are also masters of the Black Mountain Department. Now, however, all of these masters have been converted into infantry for the time being, and all the horses have been left at the bottom of the mountain.
The cottage of the uncle's army is built on the mountain, and it can't be charged with cavalry at all, but it is really a waste to let a large number of martial arts masters from the Wind Department not need it, so these martial arts masters have to temporarily aggrieved to kill the enemy with two legs. Anyway, these martial arts masters are as powerful as they are right away, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Although Liu's domineering uncle army claims to have more than 100,000 people, it is not all in Douzihang, which has a limited place and cannot accommodate so many people. Therefore, only more than 60,000 people were able to be stationed in Douzihang, and the rest of the people were scattered in the surrounding hills. Cheng Yanjin wanted to return safely, but the only way to do it was to fight quickly, capture this Douzihang before the uncles outside got the news, and kill Liu Badao.
Just when Cheng Yanjin led the men and horses in, the uncle army in the cottage still didn't notice it, and still gathered there to drink and have fun. It wasn't until a series of screams rang out that the thieves, who were in high spirits, reacted and hurriedly grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the house.
However, their reaction was too slow, and when they rushed out, they were greeted by countless swords and swords, a large number of thieves were killed in their sleep, drunk, and those who took up their weapons to resist only delayed the time of their own death for a while.
Looking at the firelight all over the mountain, Liu Badao's face was hideous, he had been the king of this Douzihang for some years, and no one had ever dared to touch his tiger whiskers, but he was killed at the door of his house tonight.
Although it is said that the reason for the current situation is that he is paralyzed and careless, but he has been operating in this bean air for many years, not only is there a guard on the road to enter, but there is always a secret guard on the mountain that seems to be safe, but why has no one raised the alarm? Could it be that all these subordinates who are responsible for the security of the cottage have defected to the enemy?
How could Liu Badao have thought that in order to make this attack go smoothly, Cheng Yanjin sent a large number of martial arts masters from the Black Mountain Department as early as when it was dark, asking them to clear the road first and remove all the light and dark posts along the way. Although this Liu overlord also has martial arts masters, he is not extravagant enough to use martial arts masters to see the door, how can those ordinary sentry posts be the opponents of these martial arts masters in the Black Mountain Department, so Cheng Yanjin's army naturally easily attacked the cottage.
Watching his men and horses kill a large number of enemies in the cottage like chopping melons and vegetables, Cheng Yanjin was extremely satisfied. The first wave of attacks this time were all martial arts masters, and Cheng Yanjin hoped to use the huge lethality of martial arts masters to maximize the results of his own battle at the beginning of the war. Use this surprise attack to kill some of the enemy, thus closing the gap between the two sides, and thus creating the conditions for the final victory.
Just when Cheng Yanjin was triumphant there, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and then a tower-like giant sweat jumped over, holding a big knife in his hand and slashing at Cheng Yanjin. Cheng Biting Jin is not angry but happy, good guy, grandpa is looking for you bastard all over the cottage, you can run over and send your death by yourself to save grandpa a lot of effort.
The person who killed him was none other than Liu Badao, the leader of the uncle's army. Originally, Liu Badao was still wondering, he asked himself, he had always been cautious in his words and deeds, and had never offended any powerful people, why he was killed in the middle of the night. However, when he saw Cheng Biting Jin, he suddenly understood in his heart.
Although Liu Badao is noble and powerful, has been a famous eunuch for many generations, and has a lot of wealth, he is just an ordinary good hand in the rivers and lakes. In order to be able to step into the martial arts and practice internal strength, a few years ago, he accepted Li Valve's conditions and became Li Valve's subordinate.
At the beginning, when Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of Li Valve, ordered him to deal with the Salt Gang, he once brought the portrait of Cheng Biting Jin for Liu Badao to see, and solemnly instructed him that as long as he could kill Cheng Biting Jin and annex the Salt Gang, Li Valve would not only give him a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also give him more advanced internal skills.
For the sake of the heavy profits promised by Li Valve, he sent people to rob several salt pools of the Salt Gang. Originally, he planned to take down the entire Salt Gang, but at that time, the government was vigorously suppressing bandits, and his men did not dare to go down the mountain casually. As a result, when the news passed, all the people he sent out earlier were all killed by the Salt Gang.
Originally, Liu Badao planned to immediately take his men and horses down the mountain to take revenge, but at this time, news came from Li Valve, telling him not to act rashly, so as not to attract the attention of the government because of a small loss, and bury all the people and horses in his hands.
Later, Li Valve came with news again, saying that he had reached a settlement with Cheng Yanjin of the Salt Gang, and asked him to let go of his past grievances. At the same time, in order to appease him, Li Valve also sent the internal strength method that he had promised. And Liu Badao was ecstatic after getting the internal strength method, so he naturally didn't take that little thing to heart. As a result, this matter was put aside, and was soon left behind by Liu Badao, who was cultivating his internal strength.
