The peach blossom mountain is dangerous, the surrounding is steep, there is only one road uphill, and the rest of the place is overgrown.

Seeing Li Zhong and Zhou Tong fleeing to the mountain, how could Xu Ning give up, and ordered the cavalry to pursue, pity those little minions who didn't have time to run up the mountain, how could they be the opponents of this group of wolf-like officers and soldiers, chopping melons and vegetables, killing and wounding all the way, and the cavalry had already rushed to the front of the first walled gate.

At this time, Li Zhong had fled to Taohua Mountain, and Zhou Tong saw that the officers and soldiers had attacked the Zhaimen, whether it was the officers and soldiers, or the minions who had not had time to escape up the mountain, he ordered all the stones and trees to roll down, and the arrows were aimed at the crowd and placed indiscriminately.

Due to the rugged road, they were condescending, the officers and soldiers were beaten off their horses by stones and woods, and due to inertia, the people behind also suffered, and Xu Ning could only order to retreat.

Xu Ning saw that the mountain road was rugged, and the thieves condescended to defend with half the effort, and the strong attack would only increase his own casualties. He had a plan, sent a few teams of cavalry along the mountain to find a way, if he found a few more trails, with his own large number of people, when the time came to attack the mountain on all sides, the thieves would inevitably take care of one and lose the other, and they would be in a hurry, and it would be easy to break the village.

At this time, the infantry also came to Peach Blossom Mountain, Xu Ning had an idea, so he asked the cavalry to attack along the road to attract the attention of the thieves, and the infantry quietly climbed up the hillside. Who knew that Li Zhong, who had bandaged his wounds, ignored the pain in his legs and personally came to the Zhaimen to supervise the battle, and he first discovered the intentions of the officers and soldiers, so he led a part of his minions to the flank to block the attack.

Li Zhong asked the minions to greet the forbidden army climbing the mountain with bows and arrows, stones, and ash bottles, and after a while, Xu Ning ordered the troops to retreat. If the surprise attack loses its surprise, it will be commonplace, and the troops will retreat and think about strategies again.

At this time, it was getting late, and Xu Ning was unfamiliar with the place, so he had no choice but to camp in the open space under the mountain and wait for the news of the pathfinder cavalry. In any case, we must capture Peach Blossom Mountain tomorrow, otherwise it is a capital crime to delay the rescue of Qingzhou, not to mention how to manage the thousands of people and horses who have no grain and grass.

Zhu Wu and Wen Huanzhang put down the clairvoyant mirror, looked at each other and smiled, unintentionally inserting willows and willows, not wanting to inadvertently become a huge incense bait in Peach Blossom Mountain, tempting Xu Ning to bite. How can such a big fish be caught ashore without pulling the hook hard.

Tonight, Qingfeng Mountain and Erlong Mountain only left a few people to guard the mountain, and the rest of the two divisions were all dispatched, and the forbidden army under Taohua Mountain was surrounded overnight, and tomorrow Xu Ning's attack began, which was his end.

The next day, the forbidden army got up early, and they didn't have much dry food with them, and after eating this morning, they had no food. Xu Ning didn't let the soldiers stay, let them let go of their bellies to eat, and after eating, he gathered the team, rode on the chasing lightning Xuanhuang and said loudly: "Brothers! After eating this meal, we will not have a meal, brothers are charging at the front, how can I bear to let you fight on an empty stomach! However, the grain and grass that originally belonged to us were all plundered by these hateful thieves, and the brothers said that they should take it back? ”

"Grab back the grain and grass that belongs to us!"

"Kill all these daring thieves!"

"Burn down their stockade!"

······

"Good! Enough for men! Enough for a man! Since we want to snatch back what belongs to us, we must have a spirit of fearlessness in life and death, and go all out to rush to the cottage! You know, if we can't take this mountain today, not only will our stomachs be hungry, but our necks will also hurt. As soon as today passed, the time to rescue Qingzhou was delayed, everyone knew that the prefect of Qingzhou was the uncle of the country, and we could not solve the siege of Qingzhou, and we were all capital crimes. Instead of being beheaded, it is better to kill the mountain happily, so that we can live! Do the brothers have faith? ”

"There is ······"

"Kill the mountain and cut down these damn thieves!"

"Good! I, Xu Ning, swear here, that all the property seized by killing the mountain, except for the grain and grass, the brothers have a share, and they don't have to hand it over, all of it will be distributed to the brothers, and I, Xu Ning, will not receive anything! The first brother who rushed up the mountain, divided two percent of all the property, and promoted two levels, I, Xu Ning, will never break my word! ”

The soldiers below immediately twinkled in their eyes, the temptation was too great to make people forget that there was a danger of death in such an attack. So the warriors shouted and were impassioned, all their emotions were aroused, everyone rose like an aphrodisiac, and the greed in their eyes reached its maximum.

The army's heart was excited, Xu Ning was secretly happy, and he shouted loudly: "Attack the mountain from many aspects, and if you can't catch the thief, you will not withdraw the army!" Come on! ”

Immediately, the slopes of Peach Blossom Mountain were full of forbidden troops, wriggling like ants. 678

Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were dumbfounded, did we provoke the legendary plague god, and didn't we take away your grain and grass by attacking like this, regardless of life or death? As for desperately? These stingy people! I wouldn't have done it if I had known.

Does regret work?

Let's fight! It can hold out for a while.

Xu Ning looked at the cottage that was about to be breached, and shouted happily in his heart: "Rush!" Rush up and eat meat! Wolf cubs! ”

At this time, there was a sudden sound of cannons, and shouts of killing rang out from all directions. Xu Ning turned his head in surprise and asked the soldiers who ran over in a panic: "Where is the enemy?" ”

The soldier stammered: "There are enemies on all sides, we are surrounded by groups, and there is no way out!" ”

"Where did the armament come from? Divine Soldiers from the Sky? ”

In surprise, Xu Ning helplessly watched the soldiers attacking the mountain retreat, and the thieves on the mountain immediately counterattacked, now even if there is a way to the sky, it is too late to enter the ground.

Damn! It's a pit!

When Xu Ning was desperate in Peach Blossom Mountain, Hu Yanzhuo was riding a kicking snow black horse towards Jeju City.

As a descendant of the founding father Hu Yanzan, Hu Yanzhuo naturally inherited the resolute and brave style of the Hu family generals, and also inherited the upright and loyal temperament. does not flatter the powerful, and shouts all day long that he wants to go to war with Liaoxia, how can this make the emperor and powerful ministers who like Gou An happy.

You love to fight, good! Transfer you to Runing County to dry, where there is no war, and give him a small official position, so that no one will say that he will abuse the meritorious heroes. Therefore, in the past few years, whether it is an emergency at the border or a bandit in the country, it has nothing to do with him Hu Yanzhuo, so as not to kill another Di Qing and steal the limelight of civil officials.

Staying in Runing, a place where his grandmother didn't love his uncle and didn't love, Hu Yanzhuo was sick, and secretly lamented the injustice of the court, but what could he do. The imperial court has the emperor's descendant troops, the Western Army outside, the forbidden army inside, and its own Tong Guan, who is in the limelight and grabs credit, how can it be their turn to be in the local army. You see, many armies have now become large caravans, and soldiers are sent out to do business, which is the army of the Great Song Dynasty, which is clearly a free machine to make money for the boss.

Of course, Hu Yanzhuo could not be in the same stream as them, and he was not idle, on the contrary, he had been working hard to train his troops and train Runing's soldiers and horses into first-class elite soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty. And with ingenuity, he trained three thousand ironclad chain horses in Runing.

On the battlefield, this kind of army is extremely powerful, the men and horses are all wearing heavy armor, leaving only two eyes, not afraid of swords and arrows, several horses or even dozens of horses are connected together with iron chains, rushing over is a dead body, basically unsolved. But this is a very money-burning class, and he and the prefect have not quarreled much because of this.

Hu Yanzhuo is just a tendon, you can do anything, cut the chain of horse army, don't talk about it!

Because he has a dream, one day he will use the serial armor horse he trained and the iron harrier of Western Xia to break his wrist, to see that the serial armor horse of my Great Song Dynasty is powerful, or the iron harrier of Western Xia. There has never been such an opportunity, and this time the bandits came in handy, and Hu Yanzhuo brought his treasure to Jeju.

Originally, it was a campaign to relieve the bandits of the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't want it to become a place for powerful ministers to win over their cronies. Gao Yu tried his best to win over and set up banquets several times, showing his discerning and talented appearance. Fucking! If it weren't for the sake of fighting Tong Guan and preserving your strength, you would have sent the forbidden army to the expedition, how could it be my turn. Of course, Gao Yu also saw that the Runing soldiers he trained were powerful, and he was increasing the weight of fighting with Tong Guan.

The Tokyo delegation made Hu Yanzhuo's heart bloom, not summoned by the emperor, and also gave him a kicking snow black horse, but Gao Yu's generosity. He actually opened the armor warehouse and let Hu Yanzhuo choose weapons and armor to his heart's content, and there is no limit to the number, these are all treasures! Hu Yanzhuo couldn't wait to empty the armor warehouse.

That's not all, Gao Yu also allocated 3,000 war horses and more than 500 artillery and iron cannons. With these equipment, why worry about the bandits, he immediately made a military order to win. Just in case, Hu Yanzhuo recommended two deputy pioneers, his friend Han Tao, the general of Baisheng in the Chenzhou regiment, and Peng Xi, the general of Tianmu in the Yingzhou regiment, to send troops together.

Approaching departure, Hu Yanzhuo felt that this battle was a little tricky. It was not that he was afraid of Liang Shanbo's thieves, but that he received a secret letter from Cai Jing before leaving, and he wanted to escort Uncle Zhang back to Beijing for disposal, and Liang Shicheng also recommended Wang Gonggong to continue to be a supervisor.
