(The collection is over 5,000, it's worth celebrating!) So a little more outbreak today! Add a new chapter in the afternoon! ）

Wang Laohan took Luo Li and more than 70 other capable men selected from the Xingtian Army, bypassed the east side of Lotus Mountain, and walked into a forest path that only local medicine collectors knew.

And these capable generals who followed Luo Li were all soldiers from Orion in the Xingtian Army, and they were all very good at climbing mountains and mountains, walking through the forests, and climbing, and they all had soldiers from various sentinels, including a teenager who was only a teenager.

Lin Luo carried a stainless steel Yanling single knife behind his back, and also carried a bow and a bag of arrows, and a bundle of strong hemp rope on his shoulder, and only wore a leather armor on his body, protecting the vital parts, and at the same time, like everyone, he was dressed in a short dress, and he walked in this team with light steps.

Wang Laohan has been in contact with the Xingtian Army in the past few days, and he has also seen that the Xingtian Army is indeed a team that is very different from ordinary bandits, they have strict military discipline, and they are very kind to the common people, and he also heard the military order passed down by the Xingtian Army's 'freeze to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without taking captivity', and the officers and men of the Xingtian Army can basically do this, and rarely do things that harm the people.

Moreover, Wang Laohan also saw with his own eyes that on such a cold day, most of the troops of the Xingtian Army were sleeping in the camp, just surrounded by a bonfire, this kind of thing seemed to him to be like a dream.

In other words, if it is an official army or a thief army, he has never heard of anything that can do this, if it is an official army or other thief army, not to mention expecting them to trade fairly and not disturb the people, they can not kill the people indiscriminately, so that the people in this area can be grateful to Dade, so this makes Wang Laohan even more convinced that there will be nothing wrong with him helping this Xingtian army.

Although the Xingtian Army came here, it did not harm the local people, which has been recognized by many local people, but many locals still dare not have anything to do with the Xingtian Army, because they don't know if this Xingtian Army can gain a firm foothold in the local area and whether they can deal with these local bandits, so although many people admit that the Xingtian Army is really good, they still have a wait-and-see attitude, and want to take a look at it. Therefore, the Xingtianjun can only establish contact with some local people who are a little more courageous at the moment, and most people can be said to be respectful of the Xingtianjun.

But when they heard that the Xingtian Army had destroyed the famous local Zhao Heihu in the mountains in one fell swoop, their attitude suddenly changed a lot, and the locals didn't know that Zhao Heihu was the strongest thief in the Yangcheng area! But they didn't expect that after Zhao Heihu led people to kill violently, he didn't even bubble, and he was killed by this Xingtian Army from outside, and even Zhao Heihu died in the hands of the Xingtian Army.

At this time, the locals began to believe that the Xingtian Army did have the ability to gain a firm foothold here, and since the Xingtian Army was better to them than other thieves, then the common people were naturally willing to help the Xingtian Army.

Therefore, when the Xingtian Army destroyed Zhao Heihu and waved its troops to the foot of Lotus Mountain, the surrounding people also had confidence in the ability of the Xingtian Army, and they began to rush over, helping the Xingtian Army to chop firewood and carry water, and began to become much more enthusiastic with the Xingtian Army.

When Xiao Tianjian's deadline for Xiao Changshan to leave expired, Xiao Changshan did not have the slightest intention of giving up Lotus Mountain, but instead mobilized his minions, and a large number of troops were sent to the mountain gate, making a posture of stubborn resistance to the end, so that the two sides had nothing to say, and under Xiao Tianjian's order, the mountain attack operation began immediately.

Facing the mountain gate of Lotus Mountain with dangerous terrain, the Xingtian Army wanted to attack Lotus Mountain head-on, it was very difficult, Xiao Butcher built a strong mountain gate here, and the two wings of the mountain gate built a pass wall more than ten zhang wide, all of which were built with locally produced big bluestone, which was very strong and abnormal.

The reason why Xiao Butcher was able to entrench here for several years is that the terrain here has provided him with great help, and the government has sent troops to suppress it several times, but they have all gone away because they could not conquer this mountain gate.

And Xiao Butcher is just one of the many bandits in Shanxi, and it can't attract the attention of Shanxi Buzheng at all, so he only sent a small number of officers and soldiers from Yangcheng and Zezhou to attack and suppress it on a small scale, and saw that the results were not good, and he lost his interest. Therefore, for small strands like Xiao Changshan, the Shanxi political secretary has adopted an attitude of suppressing those who can suppress them, and those who cannot suppress them will be laissez-faire, and as long as these small strands of poles do not flow around, they will be handed over to the prefectures and counties to suppress themselves.

After repelling the official army's advance several times, Xiao Butcher's confidence also doubled, feeling that his Lotus Mountain was already impregnable, coupled with the accumulation of several years, he had enough grain in the cottage, even if he was surrounded for a year and a half, they were not worried about the problem of starvation, plus he still had six or seven hundred minions, which was the capital that Xiao Changshan relied on to confront the Xingtian Army.

And Xiao Tianjian has already seen that the mountain gate here is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack, so when he made the decision to destroy Xiao Changshan, he did not plan to solve it by strong attack at all, but visited the local villagers everywhere, only then did he find Wang Laohan, and also found a shortcut to attack Lotus Mountain, and soon selected a surprise attack team of more than 70 people led by Luo Li in the army, as a surprise soldier, climbed the lotus village from the back mountain, and gave Xiao Butcher an internal and external attack.

And since Lin Luo was rescued by Xiao Tianjian, he stayed in the Xingtian Army, became a pawn, and followed the Xingtian Army all the way here, originally as a recruit, this time he should not be selected into the commando team, but after learning the news that Xiao Tianjian was going to choose someone, Lin Luo still actively sought to fight, and finally was selected into this surprise attack team, becoming one of the few recruits who were selected for the surprise attack team.

Lin Luo was a little excited along the way, and a little nervous, because this was the first time he was used as a combat soldier after he entered the Heavenly Army, so Lin Luo had already made up his mind, this time he wanted to show his face well and make some merits to become a soldier.

Along the way, the group basically didn't talk much, and followed the steps of Wang Laohan, who was leading the way in front of the head, brushed aside the waist-deep wild grass in the mountains, and marched towards the mountains.

Don't look at Wang Laohan is a little old, and he is a little malnourished, but this mountain road, but he does not look old, with the memory of his brain, he kept looking for the beast path they used to take when they went up the mountain to collect medicine, and took Luo Li and his party quietly around the back mountain of Lotus Mountain.
