Li Kui slashed at Zhao Xie with an axe, Zhao Xie hurriedly raised his knife accordingly, who knew that Li Kui shook the axe and retreated, and said with a smile: "I just scare you, you are still a regular army like a bear, and you are not as good as a militia like me." ”

After that, Li Kui ignored him and retreated back, Dong Ping was angry enough. Huang Xin said: "State affairs are important, don't delay the suppression of bandits because of some trivial things." Dong Dujian and Chao Tuanlian, let's go to the big tent to discuss how to suppress the bandits. ”

"That's right." Chao Gai said.

After that, Chao Gai arranged for Liu Tang and Hua Lei'an to go to the camp and take Wu Yong, Jiao Ting, and Li Kui, a total of four people, to the big tent. After all, Huang Xin's is a disciple of Qin Ming, and the war is like that, and there is a map hanging in the middle of the tent.

Huang Xindao: "This time the prefect of Murong ordered us to take Qingfeng Mountain, although there are only three young and strong bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, but the mountain is high and dense, and there is only one way up the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Chao Gai said: "Since there is only one way, the bandits on the mountain must have starved to death, how can they come to exterminate them." ”

Huang Xin was confused and asked, "What do you say about this?" ”

"Your ministry has been sending troops to guard the road of thieves and soldiers in Qingfeng Mountain, so many people can't survive long on the food on the mountain, if your department guards well, presumably the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain have already dispersed." Chao Gai said.

Huang Xin's face was a little unhappy when he heard Chao Gai say this, but after all, he was a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time, Huang Xin glared at Hua Rong and said with a smile: "It's true that we are not effective in suppressing bandits, but now is not the time to hold them accountable, let's think about how to attack first." ”

Hua Rong secretly smiled bitterly, knowing that someone would talk about his own Qingfeng Village, in fact, this is also a matter of no way, although Hua Rong was born in Jiangmen, but there is no help, if Qingfeng Mountain is wiped out at once, then his new ass has to find another way out before he is hot, at least after Hua Rong came, Yan Shun and Wang Ying of Qingfeng Mountain stopped a lot.

Wu Yong said: "Chao Gai group practice means that the bandits must have another one or two roads, and they also need to hide them. ”

Dong Ping said: "The strength of the militia group in Chao Tuanlian is quite strong, I think it is better to let Chao Tuanlian lead people to attack the mountain, and Huang Dujian and I will lead people to assist from the side." ”

Huang Xin hesitated, Huang Xin thought that the most elite of these three teams were his Qingzhou soldiers and horses, followed by the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion, and finally said that Yuncheng regimental training. However, seeing that Dong Ping said this, it was not easy to refute it, so he immediately asked Chao Gai: "How is the Chao Tuan training, if Chao Tuan is not willing to practice or our Qingzhou Army takes the lead, you can help from the side." ”

Chao Gai said: "It is a matter of course to eat food and be a soldier, and it is a matter of course to be a soldier to fight, although the Yuncheng regiment is a militia regiment, it is also personally appointed by the prefect, so he can retreat at a critical moment." It's getting late today, and you can attack the mountain tomorrow. Now you can have someone write to the bandits, and attack the mountain tomorrow at noon. ”

Huang Xin immediately wrote a war letter and asked Hua Rong to shoot up Qingfeng Mountain.

Huang Xin was overjoyed: "Chao Gai's group is practicing the real tiger general, and this will hold a banquet tonight to entertain the ranks." ”

Chao Gai was worried that Li Kui would be drunk and misbehaved, so he didn't take him with him, so he let Wu Yong and Li Kui Hualei guard the camp, and only brought Liu Tang Jiaoting and ten personal soldiers to the banquet.

Huang Xin and Hua Rong greeted them at the door of the barracks, and Chao Gai and the others greeted them one by one. Dong Ping and several vice presidents came relatively late, and the banquet was held after the expiration date. The dinner was not bad, four dishes, a few jars of wine, and the military dinner was nothing more than to adjust the atmosphere.

Liu Tang sat next to Chao Gai, looked around, and looked at Huang Xin, Huang Xin is not tall, muscular, and his appearance is very ordinary, but an old Jianghu like Liu Tang can see at a glance that Huang Xin is an old fritter in the army, and he may not be very powerful in battle, but his ability to save his life is absolutely first-class, and he belongs to the type that takes advantage of it if it is cheap and runs away if it is not cheap.

When I looked at Hua Rong again, I found that this military general was a rare person, with a pair of beautiful eyes, white teeth, white lips and red eyebrows, flying into the sideburns, and a thin waist and arms.

Liu Tang whispered to Chao Gai: "I understand why my brother didn't let Pang Wanchun come over, if Pang Wanchun came, it is estimated that he would not have fought with the bandits, but he must fight with Hua Rong first, and the two of them will definitely not be convinced by each other with bows and arrows." ”

"Hua Rong is a good archer, and he can make do with his spear, so he can be regarded as a fierce general."

Chao Gai and Liu Tang took turns toasting with Huang Xinhuarong in the past, but Jiao Ting always stood behind Chao Gai like a wooden stake, not talking or eating.

Because he was already unhappy with Dong Ping, Chao Gai didn't go over to have a few drinks with Dong Ping.

When there is more wine, there is more talk. Huang Xin said: "There are three evil mountains in Qingzhou, Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain. There are bandits occupying the mountain as the king, but there is only the scale of this Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain have not yet formed a climate, and they will decide to exterminate the three mountains and return the local people to peace. ”

Everyone praised one after another, but Chao Gai muttered psychologically, Huang Xin of Sanshan in this town is a little cowhide, and a soldier and horse eunuch who thinks about exterminating Sanshan all day long finally went up the mountain, which really makes people laugh.

The next day, just after dawn, the soldiers of the Chaogai camp quietly got up, the infantry packed their swords and guns, the cavalry saddled the horses, and so on.

When he got up early in the morning, Li Kui complained a lot and asked, "Brother, didn't you say that you only started a war with the bandits at noon today?" ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Where have you learned the art of war that my brother usually taught you, the victory or defeat of life and death in a war is not benevolence, righteousness and morality." ”

"Ah, I'm going to start fighting now, and I'm itching with a big plate axe." Li Kui said with a smile.

Immediately, Chao Gai began to count troops, and Wu Yong and Liu Tang led a hundred cavalry to stay in the camp. The 200 sailors remained in the river dozens of miles away. Chao Gai led Jiao Ting and other personal soldiers, as well as Li Kui and Hua Lei, a total of 300 soldiers to attack the mountain.

As soon as the day dawned, Hua Lei discarded the mixed iron rod, took only the short knife and slingshot with him, followed by five sharp soldiers, and marched towards Qingfeng Mountain in the serious woods, pulling out three waves of dark sentinels along the road. Then Chao Gai gave a bird call signal, and Chao Gai, Jiao Ting, and Li Kui slowly walked forward with the soldiers.

Hua Lei and the others have already touched the front of the pass, and the minions who closed the city are already very tired, and after a night of vigil, now that it is dawn, the highly tense nerves are now relaxed, and even the bonfire that has been burning all night has gradually been extinguished.

I heard a whoosh, two sounds, and two short arrows were hit by the necks of the two minions standing guard with spears, and it was impossible to give a warning, and they kept standing guard and dozing off when they were dying.

Followed by two snaps, the two flying grabs were thrown on the wall, and the two people climbed up like apes, and it was none other than the two Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers, it turned out that these two people had been following, but they had been wearing the clothes of the little soldiers. The two men climbed up to the wall, took out their short knives, wiped the necks of the few dozing soldiers by the campfire, and then waved downward, and Hua Lei brought people up. He quickly took control of the gatehouse of the closed wall, went straight in, captured all ten sleeping minions, and then opened the gate in a big way. As soon as the steep mountain gate opened, Qingfeng Mountain had no barrier. Chao Gai and Li Kui led a large group of infantry to kill in, and there was no need to hide at this time, Li Kui's earth-shattering voice shouted: "Kill." With that, a pair of large plate axes led his fierce infantry to rush forward. The little minions in front were awakened by the shouting of killing, and when they saw the officers and soldiers attacking, they picked up their weapons one by one to meet them, but they met Hei Li Kui, a fierce general who specializes in killing small soldiers, and more than ten people were cut in two by Li Kui in succession, and even the infantry in the back were also holding heavy weapons such as heavy plate axes or mountain knives, and they were slashed and killed.

Later, Hua Lei had already taken back the iron rod from the soldiers, and led the soldiers to follow Li Kui closely and kill in the direction of the Gathering Hall.

As a den of bandits, the scale of the building in Qingfeng Mountain is still very small, where can more than 300 people be killed.

Wang Ying was busy on the woman's belly all night last night, and only woke up at dawn, when he heard that the officers and soldiers outside were killed, he immediately put on his clothes and carried a waist knife to kill him, just in time for Li Kui, Wang Ying jumped and took a knife to split Li Kui's head, and was kicked in the air by Li Kui and smashed into the rotten grass next to him. It's also his fate, Li Kui doesn't know Wang Ying, but he feels that this guy is thin and small, and he is definitely not a bandit leader, so he doesn't care about him and kills him directly.

Chao Gai, Jiao Ting, and the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers followed unhurriedly. At this time, Jinmao Hu Yanshun finally organized the strength of more than a hundred people and set up a position in front.
