Early in the morning, Zhong Hao and his entourage arrived at Evil Tiger Beach after setting off from Xingxian Post Station for more than an hour. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The terrain near Evil Tiger Beach is a long line running north-south, and the terrain is mostly mountainous, only the Weifen River crosses from east to west, so the official road from east to west extends along the Weifen River. Both sides of the Evil Tiger Beach are dangerous mountains, and the two peaks of Shilou Mountain and Shihou Mountain are sandwiched between two mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous.

Evil Tiger Beach is the east gate of Xing County, bordering Lan County in the east and Lan County in the northeast, which belongs to the junction of the three counties, and is also a typical three-regardless zone.

Among the five escort cavalry that accompanied Zhong Hao to Bingzhou was Zheng Feng, the nephew of the Marquis of Zheng Duyu. Zheng Feng is quite brave, he used to be the deputy commander of the right battalion of the Pingxi Army, and now he is the head of the five capitals of the war barracks. Zheng Feng is quite calm, so he was sent by Cui Feng to lead the entourage to protect Zhong Hao.

Zheng Feng has been in the northwest for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the scenery in the northwest, and often explains the customs and people in various places to Zhong Hao along the way. At this time, Zheng Feng said to Zhong Hao while riding: "It's timely, not far ahead is the Evil Tiger Beach." The mountain on its left is called Stone Monkey Mountain. The mountain is named after the fact that there are several boulders at the top of the mountain that resemble stone monkeys. The Xianyun Temple built in the former Tang Dynasty on the mountainside, but because the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and Xingxian County is a poor place, this Xianyunguan incense is not prosperous, and it has long been abandoned now.

At the foot of the mountain on the south side of the main peak, there is a natural stone cave one day, the name is called the Black Dragon Pond, there are two springs in the pool, one is the divine spring, the other is called the human spring, it is not dry and overflowing all the year round, it is said that the people often take the water of the divine spring to pray for rain, there are many benefits. And the main peak of the mountain is like a lotus, and it is called "lotus peak stone".

The mountain on the right is called Shilou Mountain, and it is named because of the huge stone that looks like a three-story stone tower on the top.

In the fifth generation, there was a Vicious Tiger Pass here, which was a battleground for soldiers, but at this time it was located in its pass and had been abandoned for a long time. This place is the junction of three counties, and the terrain is dangerous, and there are often robbers haunting, but they do not dare to plunder on the official road, just do some cutting on the road! ”

Zhong Hao rode on a horse, controlled the reins with one hand, and raised his eyes to the east with his hands on the pergola to face the sun. I saw that the stone monkey mountain on the left side is extended, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the ancient trees are forested, covering the sky and the sun, at this time, the leaves of the mountains are withered and yellow, and a piece of yellow is seen from afar. And the main peak of Shilou Mountain on the right stands in the midst of the mountains, protrudes above the peaks, looks like a strange building outside the sky from abruptly, it is very shocking.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Heaven and earth are really strange creatures, and this place is really a dangerous place!" ”

Wang San said on the side: "It's a good time, I see that this place is not a good place, let's try to stay as little as possible, and hurry up and pass here!" ”

Zheng Feng said with a smile: "This place is only twenty miles away from Xingxian County, and it is on the official road, and those thieves who cut the path are afraid that they don't have the courage to rob the road here!" ”

As soon as Zheng Feng's words fell, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded on the slope of Stone Monkey Mountain on the left, and then a boulder rolled down the hillside with a "boom", and it was falling in the middle of the official road, blocking Zhong Hao's path forward.

Immediately, a group of men in disheveled clothes and armed with various weapons jumped out of the hillside forest.

The group of men divided into about 20 people and went down to the official road to block the back road of Zhong Hao and his party, and the other dozen or so men led by a dark-skinned, tendon-covered man, armed with a Xuanhua axe, went down to stand tall on the hillside.

The swarthy strong man at the head shouted: "Well, I opened this road, and I planted this tree, and I want to pass by from here and leave the money to buy the road." If you dare to say half a word, the big axe in the hand of a certain family is already hungry and thirsty! He stood on a high place, like an iron tower, looking down on Zhong Hao and his party majestically.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Zheng Feng, why is this guy's mouth so unreliable!

Zheng Feng looked at everyone's eyes and couldn't help but be embarrassed. I just said that those strongmen who cut the path don't have the courage to rob here, and immediately a strongman jumped out and slapped himself in the face, which is too damn to give himself face. At that moment, Zheng Feng took a few steps forward and shouted: "Wu Na thief, grandpa, we are officials and soldiers, you are too fat, if you want to rebel, you can't succeed, don't retreat quickly, be careful of your dog's head!" ”

The strong man who was the leader listened to Zheng Feng's words, and couldn't help but hesitate on his face. If these people are really officials and soldiers, then it's too fucking unlucky, and it's really unlucky that they met the officials and soldiers in the first business they opened!

Zhong Hao and his entourage went to Bingzhou, because it was the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty, it was unavoidable, they did not wear military uniforms, nor did they carry long weapons and armor, but only carried long knives for self-defense, so the strong man mistakenly thought that it was a rich boy with his servants passing by the Evil Tiger Beach, which was a suitable fat sheep, so he put down the boulder to block the road, intending to rob.

After listening to Zheng Feng's words, all the bandits couldn't help but look at the strong man, waiting for his decision.

Seeing this, the swarthy strong man said loudly: "A certain family cares about your officials and soldiers or the people, this road is opened by me, if you don't leave the money on your body, let you taste the power of the big axe in the hands of a certain family, this big axe of a certain family only recognizes money and does not recognize people!" ”

Zhong Hao saw that this group of strongmen did not have long-distance killing weapons such as bows and arrows in their hands, and he couldn't help but feel confident in his heart, but he was not nervous at the moment, and said to the big man with a smile: "This big brother who cut the path is invited, we are all reasonable people, if this road is built by you, big brother, we will pass by from now on, and naturally we should leave the money to buy the road." But this big road is obviously an official road, and it is built by the government, and it seems unreasonable for the eldest brother to forcibly collect money to buy the road, right? ”

The swarthy strong man listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help but be so angry that he shouted: "A certain family is a robbery, tell you the truth of fart, if you want to be reasonable, come and reason with the big axe in the hand of a certain family!" I'm so angry that the kids will catch them for me and see how grandpa cleans them up! ”

Zhong Hao saw that those bandits were about to make a move, and couldn't help but ask the swarthy strong man again: "Is it really unreasonable?" ”

The swarthy strong man said, "Talk about a fart!" Carrying a big axe, he ran to the official road with the bandits on the hillside, wanting to capture Zhong Hao.

"Let's do it!" Zhong Hao said.

This was not said to the strong man, but to the six of Wang San and the six who were surrounding Zhong Hao.

As soon as Zhong Hao's words fell, Wang San and the six of them immediately took out the swallow-winged crossbow with strings and crossbow arrows from the cloth bag hanging on the victory hook of the war horse, three towards the rear, three towards the hillside, buckled the bracket, and fired the crossbow arrows.

These swallow-winged crossbows were exchanged by Zhong Hao for the Heaven-Shaking Thunder from Yang Wenguang. These swallow-winged crossbows are small and delicate, easy to carry, and not conspicuous, and can be fired in a single shot or three crossbows in a row, which is very sharp. Yang Wenguang didn't have many in the Zhenxi army, so he only gave Zhong Hao thirty pairs.

Zhong Hao and the others went to Bingzhou this time, and just in case, everyone was equipped with swallow-winged crossbows. In order not to be eye-catching, they all put the swallow-wing crossbow in a cloth bag. As soon as these bandits appeared, everyone put their hands into the cloth bags, secretly wound the swallow-winged crossbow, and loaded the crossbow arrows to prepare.

The swallow-winged crossbow was small and exquisite, but its small size limited its range, and Zhong Hao and his swallow-winged crossbow only had a range of fifty paces. The swallow-winged crossbow may not be of much use when the two armies fight against each other in the field, but in this case it is definitely extremely sharp, when Zhong Hao and they fired the swallow-winged crossbow, these strongmen were only a few steps away from Zhong Hao, and the lethality at such a close distance was definitely huge.

Wang San's swallow-winged crossbows are all one crossbow and three arrows, and after the "click-and-click" swallow-winged crossbow sounds, less than half of the bandits can still stand. The accuracy of shooting with one crossbow and three arrows is not high, but that refers to the long distance, such a close distance, you don't need to aim much, you can easily shoot those bandits. Moreover, at such a close distance, the crossbow arrows fired by the powerful force of the machine could easily penetrate the human body and continue to shoot into the body of the second person.

When the group of bandits saw that more than half of their gang had suddenly fallen, they couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, fear instantly hit their brains, and they shouted one after another, and scattered to the forest on the hillside.

The swarthy strong man was not bad, Wang San's three crossbow arrows were all aimed at him, he turned over suddenly, and actually dodged two of them, but one of them was hit by a crossbow arrow in his left calf.

The strong man turned over, ignoring the pain in his legs, and quickly limped up the hillside, and the Xuanhua axe in his hand was reluctant to throw it away.

The swallow-winged crossbow in Zhong Hao's hand did not fire just now, and when he saw that the strong man was about to escape, he immediately picked up the swallow-winged crossbow in his hand and aimed at the strong man's right leg and shot it.

With a "whoosh", the crossbow bolt hit the strong man's right thigh. Zhong Hao likes this swallow-winged crossbow very much since he got it, his own force value is low, and having this swallow-winged crossbow is also an extra self-defense weapon, when he is fine, he often shoots with the swallow-winged crossbow to practice, and the accuracy of this shooting is still good.

The strong man was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground.

At this time, Wang San and the others had already loaded their swallow-winged crossbows again, and they all picked up their swallow-winged crossbows to aim at the bandits who were running towards the hillside forest. This time, in order to pursue the speed of reloading and the accuracy of shooting, they are all single-crossbow arrows.

Zhong Hao stopped them from continuing to shoot and said, "Forget it, let them go!" "These bandits may not all be heinous people, Zhong Hao feels that there is no need to kill them all. Besides, these bandits are really just trying to rob money. If it weren't for that, they really wanted to be ruthless, and if they wanted to kill people, they suddenly pushed the boulder down at Zhong Hao and them, and then they didn't say hello, and came up directly to cut Zhong Hao and them. I'm afraid that if something happens suddenly, Zhong Hao and they may not be able to resist it.

Zhong Hao pointed to the strong man who had been hit by arrows in his legs and was struggling to climb into the hillside forest, and said to Wang San and Zheng Feng: "Catch that guy first, don't let him run!" "To be continued.
