The matter of everyone's attack on Sanshan has been decided, and Wu Tongju immediately asked everyone to go down to prepare. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the melee in the middle of the night, some of the soldiers were sleepy. Cui Feng asked the kitchen of the stone unloading shed to clean up the food, and after eating and drinking enough to rest, he set off to suppress the bandits.

The Qingfeng Zhai Forbidden Army came in the middle of the night, and it was impossible to bring any heavy grain and grass, but fortunately, the kitchen of the stone unloading shed village needed to supply food for thousands of workers in the quarry every day, and the food of the more than 300 forbidden troops was nothing.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough and rested, Zhen Sanshan commanded the forbidden army to set off to Erlong Mountain, and Cui Feng also accompanied him with more than 20 stone unloading shed regiments that could still fight again.

The bandits of Baihu Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain were caught in the urn of the forbidden army of Qingfeng Village, and most of them have been destroyed, and Erlong Mountain was outside the village because the forbidden army came, so many bandits fled back to the mountain, so the main target of this battle was Erlong Mountain, and the remaining two mountains are estimated to be easy to take.

The black-armored cavalry of Qingfeng Village was already in the limelight this morning, and everyone immediately had five or six heads, and dozens of rewards for each person were indispensable. To attack Erlong Mountain, the cavalry is difficult to perform, and besides, you have to leave some credit for those infantry troops, so Zhen Sanshan ordered the cavalry to stay in the stone unloading shed to rest, and protect the village by the way.

As for those Xiang troops who came from Qingzhou, they naturally couldn't be counted on, and they were also arranged to enter the village to help protect Wu Tongju.

Zhong Hao also applied to go with him to exterminate Erlong Mountain. Erlongshan kidnapped him, Gu Laosi and Su Yuefei also killed Han Guang, Zhong Hao hated the two in his heart, and said that he must see the destruction of Erlongshan. Cui Ye saw that Zhong Hao insisted on following him, and Wu Zi was a little uneasy, so he also went with him.

The envoy of the three mountains of Zhen had no opinion on Cui Feng and them going together, after all, the stone unloading shed village was a face-saving this time, and it was also necessary to go and get it back. Besides, Commander Zhou has a close relationship with the Cui family, so he should also help him. If he wanted to share his credit if he changed those van troops, he would not allow it. After all, the tough battle against Erlong Mountain still depends on his forbidden army.

Everyone drove to Erlong Mountain.

Erlong Mountain is the highest among the mountains in the southwest mountainous area of Qingzhou, the altitude is about more than 900 meters, the terrain is precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, many strong bandits operate here for decades, the bandit leader has changed wave after wave, but the bandits of Erlong Mountain are always difficult to eradicate.

Although Erlong Mountain is difficult to attack, it has also been broken by the official army several times, but once the cottage is breached, the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain either fled to Baihu Mountain and Taohua Mountain, or hid in the mountains, so it is always difficult to clean up. This time, the bandits of Baihu Mountain and Taohuashan were all captured or killed, and the bandits of Erlong Mountain had no response, which was a good opportunity to exterminate Erlong Mountain.

Zhen Sanshan led the forbidden army to the foot of Erlong Mountain, and first sent Qin's deputy commander to bring a hundred pikemen dressed in infantry iron armor to the back mountain to prevent bandits from escaping from the back mountain to the depths of the mountains, and he himself took those sword and shield soldiers in leather armor, archers and the remaining pikemen to block the path up the mountain in front and prepare for a strong attack.

Attacking the mountains, for the pikemen in heavy infantry iron armor, there is no advantage, they are more suitable for frontal combat, but the sword and shield soldiers and archers in light leather armor are more advantageous in the mountains and forests.

At this time, the people on Erlong Mountain were panicked, the bandits were already unintentionally fighting, and the Qingfeng Zhai Forbidden Army had a rain of arrows past, and the bandits at the first gate of Erlong Mountain had collapsed.

Zhensanshan led people to easily break through the first gate of Erlong Mountain and attack the mountainside. The bandits retreated to the walled gate on the top of the mountain. Cui Feng led the regiment to train the troops, and escorted Zhong Hao and Cui Ye to the mountainside.

The top of Erlong Mountain is extremely steep, there is only one mountain road to pass, and the Zhaimen of Erlongshan bandits is just a steep place on the mountain road, the walled wall is made of stones, tall and strong, the huge wood of the Zhaimen is built, the outer iron sheet, the water and fire are not immersed, and it is also extremely strong.

Zhen Sanshan wanted to break through the gate of the village in one go, but the soldiers of the forbidden army of Qingfeng Village attacked it all over, not only to no avail, but also many brothers were damaged.

This path is steep and difficult to walk, the gate of the fortress is strong, it is difficult for the forbidden army to attack on the back, the mountain road is narrow, and the advantage of the forbidden army is difficult to open, even if there is the cover of the archers, but there is only a simple ladder, there is no other attacking tool, the soldiers of the forbidden army are attacked by the stones thrown by the bandits frantically, and they still do not succeed in capturing the wall.

Seeing the setback of the attack on the walled gate, Zhen Sanshan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and immediately wanted to personally lead people to attack.

At this time, Cui Feng stepped forward and grabbed the town of Sanshan and said: "The archers in Brother Zhou's team should carry rockets, although the bandit wall is made of stones, but the houses in the village are all wooden, it is better to use rockets to ignite the houses in the village, it will definitely cause chaos, and then take the opportunity to attack, it will be able to overcome it with one drum." ”

Zhong Hao heard Cui Feng say that he used rockets at this time, and suddenly thought of the book about the Mongolian siege that he had read in later generations, and the sharp return cannon of the Mongolian army often used wet firewood and grass mixed with arsenic and wolf poison to ignite it when it was impossible to find stones from local materials during the siege, and threw it into the city to form poisonous smoke, which always had miraculous effects. I don't know if it can be done with a rocket, although Zhong Hao doesn't understand military affairs, but Zhong Hao still feels that this method can be said, let everyone take a closer look, and then Zhong Hao said: "The little brother is different from the military, but think of a method, Brother Cui and Commander Zhou will ask you two old soldiers to take a closer look and see if it is feasible?" Do you say that if you wrap poisons such as arsenic and wolf venom in the rocket ignition material, can you form poisonous smoke when it is shot into the village, and is it useful? ”

Zhen Sanshan really didn't think that he could use poisonous smoke to attack the city before. Hearing what Zhong Hao said, he couldn't help frowning and thinking.

But after a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "If the siege machine is used to mix poison into the wet firewood and grass, it can form poisonous smoke. In wet weather, these poisons are packed in rockets and shot into the village, which may also form poisonous smoke, but now it is early spring, and it is a dry day. Zhen Sanshan can think of so much in a moment, and at a glance, he knows that he is also an old soldier with experience in battle formations.

Zhong Hao thought for a while and said, "Then adding more ecstasy or spicy and spicy drugs should have some effect, right?" These things, the stronger the fire, the more they can promote the momentum! ”

Cui Feng said on the side: "The pharmacy in our village has some medicines and poisons, why don't Brother Zhou let the brothers take the opportunity to rest, I will send someone to the village to get those drugs and poisons, and then shoot them into it, it should have some effect, and it should definitely be better than just putting rockets." ”

Zhen Sanshan said: "That's okay, just let the brothers rest for a while!" ”

Not long after, the five regiments sent to unload the stone shed to collect medicine and poison for training soldiers took back several large bags of medicine. They brought all the poisons from the whole stone shed, the pharmacy, and so on.

Commander Zhou distributed the medicine to the archers.

The archers wrapped the medicine under the arrowhead igniter, lit it, and under the order of Zhen Sanshan, they all shot into the village.

Not long after, the cottage of Erlong Mountain was blazing, I didn't expect those drugs and poisons, although they did not form thick smoke, but under the impetus of the fire, the strong and piercing smell emitted still choked the bandits in Erlong Mountain to tears, coughing and practicing, and the bandits did not care about fighting the fire, but only looked for a place without fireworks to hide.

Immediately, Zhen Sanshan ordered the archers, all aimed at the wall of Erlong Mountain, and shot with all their strength to suppress the bandits on the wall, and the rest of the forbidden soldiers attacked the city with all their might.

Erlongshan cottage has been chaotic, morale is completely gone, the bandits on the wall of the wall are under the strong suppression of bows and arrows, it is difficult to show their heads, the soldiers of the forbidden army of Qingfeng Village are full of energy, climb the wall, enter the wall and open the door.

Zhen Sanshan commanded the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army and rushed in from the gate of the wall.

Zhong Hao was about to rush into the village, but Cui Feng refused to let him live or die, and said, "Don't worry, you said that Su Yuefei, I will definitely catch it for you." After Cui Feng finished speaking, he left a few regimental training soldiers to guard Zhong Hao and Cui Ye, and then led the rest of the regimental training soldiers to rush in with the forbidden army.

The gate of the village was opened, and the battle in the Erlong Mountain cottage was basically without suspense.

The bandits in Erlong Mountain basically had no resistance in front of the fully armed forbidden army, and they were either cut down and stabbed to death, or captured.

Erlong Mountain's big boss into the clouds, Long Wei Shen, was commanded to make a horse fly in front of the stone unloading shed, and was seriously injured, and he had already been captured in the stone unloading shed.

The second master of the river, Long Tie Dazhu, saw that the gate of the village was broken, and knew that if he didn't run again, he was wrapped in dumplings by the officers and soldiers, and immediately took a part of his younger brother to escape from the back mountain, wanting to escape into the mountains.

However, when they ran to the foot of the back mountain, they met the hundred fully armored pikemen carried by Deputy Commander Qin waiting in formation.

Under a burst of stabbing, there were countless casualties, and the iron pillar of the river dragon was also killed on the spot.

Only Su Yuefei, the Qingfeng Zhai Forbidden Army and the Unearthed Stone Shed Regiment finally searched carefully, but they did not find it.

Zhen Sanshan commanded the forbidden army to destroy the village of the bandits in Erlongshan, and escorted the bandits back to the stone shed, of course, the property in the village on the bandits also fell into the pockets of the forbidden army under the command of Zhen Sanshan.

After sweeping Erlong Mountain, Zhen Sanshan sent Deputy Commander Qin to continue sweeping Baihushang and Peach Blossom Mountain, these two mountains have no combat effectiveness, and it is a matter of fingers to exterminate them.

The Erlong bandits, who have been suffering from Qingzhou for decades, were calmed down in one fell swoop because of a series of accidents caused by the accidental incident of Zhong Hao's kidnapping.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When the town of Sanshan with the forbidden army escorted the bandits of Erlongshan Mountain back to the stone shed, Wu Tong sentenced to great joy, and all the bandits in Sanshan were exterminated, which is quite a political achievement, Wu Tongju immediately sent people to rush back to Qingzhou City to report to the rich minister.

The Sanshan bandits were captured in one fell swoop this time, and more than 300 bandits were captured, so Wu Tongju immediately set off, escorted the bandits with the crowd army, and got up to return to the city.

This time to suppress the bandits, the credit of the Qingfeng Zhai Forbidden Army is indispensable. Zhen Sanshan left those black-armored cavalry and the soldiers of the forbidden army to help escort Wu Tongju, and he himself took the brigade of the forbidden army to return to the Qingfeng Village station to wait for the reward of the imperial court.

Cui Ye and Zhong Hao also returned to the city with Wu Tong's team.

About sixty or seventy miles from the stone unloading shed to Qingzhou City, Wu Tongju and Cui Ye both came on horseback, and naturally they also rode horses when they went back. Cui Feng found Zhong Hao a very tame old horse from the stone unloading shed, although Zhong Hao had never ridden a horse, after Cui Ye's simple guidance, he could still do it reluctantly by riding a Taiping horse safely. Because this team escorted these many mountain bandit captives, it was naturally impossible to move too fast.

Sixty or seventy miles away, although he rode slowly, but less than half of the ride, Zhong Hao, who was riding a horse for the first time, already felt numb and difficult to sit on. However, Zhong Hao saw that Wu Tong judged that such an old literati could still insist, so he didn't have much to say, so he had to grit his teeth and insist.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

More than 300 bandits who cut their hands back, plus many heads hanging on the black-armored knight's horse, Zhong Hao and his team caused a huge sensation when they entered Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City has been peaceful for decades, and it is rare to see a forbidden army with bright armor appear in the city, not to mention that this team also carries three hundred prisoners and many heads.

The spread of news in the city of Qingzhou was extremely rapid. It's just that when it's dinner time, the restaurants, tea shops, and Goolan tiles all over Qingzhou are already talking about the extermination of all the bandits in the Three Mountains.

After entering the city, Wu Tong commanded the sergeants and escorted the bandits to the state government prison to hand over.

Zhong Hao and Cui Ye are not people in the public gate and in the army, this time the Three Mountains bandits were destroyed, and the two of them also contributed, maybe there will be rewards in the state, but that will be a matter of the next few days, and now there is nothing for them to do for the time being. The two immediately told Wu Tong to sentence them to leave and leave.

Cui Ye originally wanted to invite Zhong Hao to Zuiyun Tower, invite him to eat and drink, and suppress the shock for him, but Zhong Hao was afraid that Feng and Wan'er would be too worried, so he made an appointment with Cui Ye to call Xu Feng tomorrow, and the three brothers went to Zuiyun Tower to get drunk, so they hurriedly went home.
