On Nipple Mountain, the clouds are bleak, the atmosphere is depressing, and there is no more hustle and bustle of the past.

There were only two people in the hall, Lieutenant He and General Liu, each drinking tea, silent, and the atmosphere was weird.

After a long time, Lieutenant He said: "General Liu, you are also a person who has been in the battle formation, how could you be so careless." The strength of the first battalion is now less than half a battalion, and it can no longer take the initiative to attack. What's next? ”

"Who would have thought that the bandits would be so bold and dare to ambush halfway. But it just so happened that they dared to resist, didn't they just give us the opportunity to increase our troops in Tianzhu Mountain? I will immediately send people back to ask for support, please find a way to mobilize another battalion of troops to come in, and as soon as the men and horses arrive, all the bandit villages outside the mountain will be destroyed! General Liu said, "snapped" and slapped the table, thinking of the loss of more than 180 people, he became angry.

"It's not enough for you to send someone. This entry into the mountains was led by the government, and I was responsible for chasing the fugitives, so I needed to send a letter to Chen Zhijun explaining the urgency of the situation and requesting that someone be sent for support. There is no one in the government to adjust, so the magistrate naturally wants to find a high commander. According to the rules, it should be me who sends a letter asking for help, you write a letter to the high commander, if Chen Zhijun asks him for support, please be sure to send the elite, the opportunity is rare, we will go deep into Tianzhu Mountain in one fell swoop. Lieutenant He shook the fan lightly.

"That's right, the high command system is still nominally controlled by Chen Zhijun, and he can't send troops without his order. Time was pressing, and I immediately sent someone back. After General Liu finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave.

"The general's contribution is very great, and if he can successfully increase his troops, he should be the first to do so." Seeing that General Liu was leaving, County Lieutenant He shook his fan and said lightly.

When General Liu heard this, he sat down again, but asked, "How can the casualties be compensated?" ”

"We'll talk about it when we get back. The important thing at the moment is Nipple Mountain, which has accumulated a lot of property, how to transport it out and turn it into money. I always feel unsafe in Nitou Mountain, if the bandits are red-eyed and take advantage of our lack of troops to jointly attack the mountain, it will be very troublesome. County Lieutenant He expressed his worries.

"Then move all back to Qianshan Temple, we can do the coolies, but it should be mine, don't miss a penny." General Liu is thorough at one point, Nitou Mountain is three or four days away from Qianshan Temple, I wanted to ask for more money, but after thinking about it, I still forget it, among the things to be moved out, there is already his share.

"Okay, the general is fast, the general is responsible for transporting the materials, I have sent someone out of the mountain to find someone to deal with this batch of things, and you will never be missing a penny when the time comes." Lieutenant He looked at General Liu and made a promise.

"The fast catchers on the mountain, the miscellaneous servants of the Qianshan Temple, all have to be at my disposal during this period."

"Of course, all the manpower is at your disposal, but the safety of this nipple mountain cannot be relaxed, and if you lose the nipple mountain, the problem will be difficult to solve." He Xianwei specially confessed.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will never let the bandits snatch this nipple mountain." The Nipple Mountain camp is well equipped, very close to the bandit village, it is the base camp of the forbidden army to attack the bandits, once they lose it, they have to return to the Qianshan Temple, and then it is difficult to attack the bandit village at will, General Liu has fought a war, so he naturally understands.

After the discussion, the two didn't talk much more, and immediately went their separate ways, and each sent someone back to Huaining to ask for support.

However, it was said that Yang Congyi and a group of fugitives were escorted by the two brothers Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu of the incense burner peak, and they walked for half a month, and the road was safe.

"Brother Cheng Wen, Brother Cheng Wu, it is estimated that it will be time to Nitou Mountain in two days, there is probably an eyeliner of the government near here, I think you should find a place to take refuge, and I can walk the next road by myself." Yang Congyi looked around with a gun, but unfortunately the forest was deep and he couldn't see anything.

"Yang Zhutou, I'm afraid this won't work, our brother was ordered to take the head of the Song sect back, if we can't see the head of the Song sect, we can't go back." Cheng Wen replied.

"You're not afraid of officers and soldiers?" Yang Congyi didn't believe it, there were only more than 20 bandits who came down from Xianglu Peak together, although they were all good, but in front of hundreds of forbidden troops, they were nothing.

"With Yang Zhutou and so many fugitives here, what are we afraid of. Cheng Wen said with a smile. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Congyi suddenly became alert.

"It's not interesting, if the officials and soldiers dare to touch us, we will immediately let go of these fugitives, and Yang catches the head, then I'm sorry, we can only live and die together." Cheng Wen said with a smile.

"You're threatening me!" Yang Congyi was a little angry, Lord Wang Feng actually kept this hand, saying that he accepted his suggestion, and in the end it was still a hostage exchange, but there were thirty-two more fugitives in the chips, and he didn't believe him at all, this old fox. At this time, the goal of taking the fugitives out of the mountain was very close, and the thirty-two fugitives were in the hands of others, and their personal safety was also threatened, so they could only come according to their methods.

"Yang Zhutou, as long as you cooperate well and help us bring Song Jiaotou out, I guarantee that we won't hurt a hair of your hair." Cheng Wen said with a smile.

"What are you going to do?" Yang Congyi could only ask them what they thought first to see if there was a remedy.

"What else can I do, go directly to Nipple Mountain to exchange."

"If you do this, it's strange that the officers and soldiers can exchange with you, as long as you dare to go up the mountain, they will dare to destroy us directly without saying a word, and they won't let us say more. I told Lord Wang Feng a long time ago that the officers and soldiers will not care about my life or death, I can't be your talisman, and you have to go up the mountain to die. If you want to rescue Brother Song, you have to listen to me. Tie me up too. "Yang Congyi really wanted to kill them head-on.

Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu glanced at each other, they also listened to the orders of the peak master, and they did what the peak master said. Yang Congyi always has to be tied, whether he is tied in the future or now, in fact, it is the same.

Cheng Wu took the gun in Yang Congyi's hand, took the rope and tied his hands personally.

"Listen to me later, don't make claims. What the officers and soldiers are like, I know better than you, if you want to rescue Brother Song and not die on the mountain, you must cooperate with me. "Can't get rid of the fate of being a hostage, Yang Congyi can only think of another way, if he goes directly to the mountain, maybe he will be killed as bandits by the officials and soldiers before he enters the cottage, and the officials and soldiers must be worried.

"Hurry up brothers, I'm Yang Congyi, I've brought back all the fugitives, you hurry back to Huaining and report the good news to Lord Zhijun!" Yang Congyi suddenly shouted loudly, startling Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu.

"Are you crazy, shouting in the mountains to catch fast?" Cheng Wen shouted, frowning at the old high.

Last time in the incense burner peak, Yang Congyi shouted all night, but he tossed him enough, and now when he heard someone shouting, he felt furious in his heart.

Yang Congyi smiled: "Brother Cheng Wen, how many bandits have you encountered along the way, who dares to touch us." Besides, this is not far from Nipple Mountain, there won't be too many bandits, even if there are bandits, they dare to touch your incense burner peak? ”

"What are you trying to do when you shout fast?" Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu were still weak-hearted, and they didn't dare to believe Yang Congyi, for fear that he would have a deep meaning in shouting to arrest quickly, which would be unfavorable to them.

"What can I do, you have to take me hostage, I can't save myself. Although we were ordered by the intellectuals to go into the mountains to arrest the fugitives, the officials and the intellectuals disagreed, they didn't want to arrest the fugitives at all, and they wanted to prevent us from arresting the fugitives. Do you understand? Yang Congyi had to explain that he couldn't shout all the way, and the bandits had to shout for him.

"Also, let's walk slowly on the road, give time for the message to be delivered, and the faster and farther the news of the fugitive's capture will spread, the safer we will be." Yang Congyi was not sure how far away County Lieutenant He would send spies on the periphery, so he had to walk slowly and give them more time.

said it so clearly, Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu could naturally understand, and besides, they were not afraid of Yang Congyi's tricks, otherwise they would kill him first.

Later, it was originally more than two days away, but they walked for five or six days, shouting all the way, not only attracting fast catchers, but also bandits.

There are those who are bold enough to catch fast, and they dare to respond in the woods. Yang Congyi naturally thanked him loudly, and once again told them to hurry back to Huaining, and report the good news to the Zhijun as soon as possible, so that they didn't have to delay time to go to Nitou Mountain.

And the bandits came out purely out of curiosity, they just heard that the official army was defeated in Niutou Mountain, and they dared to come out and shout in the mountains, so they wanted to see who was so kind.

When they saw it, they laughed, a head catcher who was caught by bandits, and dared to scream, it was really funny. couldn't help but be ridiculed in front of him, if it wasn't for the brother of the incense burner peak to stop him, it would be a punch and kick to go up directly.

Yang Congyi only knew that the official army was stationed in Nitou Mountain to suppress bandits nearby, but he had never heard of their defeat. He was surprised to learn from the bandits that the official army had recently been defeated, but after thinking about it, he understood the problem. The official army is undefeated, how can it be proved that the bandits in Tianzhu Mountain are powerful? Also, the loss of troops can just be used as an excuse to need support, and then send the forbidden army into the mountains. This kind of excuse can be used again and again, until all the forbidden troops of the Anqing Army are pulled into Tianzhu Mountain, and even if Lord Chen doesn't want to fight, he can't help it.

Among the bandits that appeared one after another, Yang Congyi saw the bandits of Hongyan Cave who defeated the official army. Those bandits were very arrogant, talking about how brave they were in front of the bandits of Xianglufeng, how to fight the officers and soldiers crying wolf, fleeing in embarrassment, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, how to kill the officers and soldiers in Niutou Mountain, leaving two or three hundred officers and soldiers, running away all the way, nesting in Nitou Mountain and never daring to come out to harass again.

It is even declared to the public that now this piece of land is already a Hongyan Cave, and if any cottage is not satisfied, you can go to Hongyan Cave to fight with them.

The bandits of the other cottages were naturally very unhappy when they heard it, but they didn't dare to say that they wanted to fight, after all, they hadn't fought with the official army, and most of them heard that the official army was coming, so they gave up the cottage and ran away.

In this mountain, whoever has the big fist is the boss, and Hongyan Cave is now the well-deserved boss of this area. Not only are they numerous, but their fists are big, but the key is that their fists are still hard, and if they dare to fight with the officials and soldiers, they can still win.

If any cottage dares to compare with them, just say it, if there is a kind, go to Nipple Mountain and try it with the officials and soldiers.

The battle of Hongyan Cave through Niutou Mountain is really profitable, and the status of the bandits has soared, and other bandits have seen the bandits in Hongyan Cave, regardless of whether they are high or low, they are all half a head down. In this battle, they played with momentum and majesty.

Yang Congyi didn't say a word about this, just chuckled.
