The bandit leader Golden-eyed Eagle took advantage of the cover of night and dense fog to lead the crowd into the position of the militia group, but it was empty. It turned out that Zhu Youzhen was one step ahead of him, and he had already withdrawn into Dashimen more than half an hour ago.

At this time, the golden-eyed eagle vaguely heard the familiar and terrifying "bang" sound in the narrow valley, and knew that the people and horses in the back village must have fought with the enemy. He was in a hurry, thinking that his 900 people were not opponents during the day, and he would be able to send more than 400 people to the back village after the sky, and he would be able to beat the dog with meat buns.

However, the golden-eyed eagle still wanted to fight to the death, so he ordered the bandits to quickly rush into the big stone gate and outflank the back of the militia. He himself was the first to set foot on the narrow mountain path.

There were dead bodies all along the way, all of which were Golden-Eyed Eagle's men, of course. The corpses lay in all directions, and the night sky above them was like a thin slit, and the large stone gate was pitch black, and the bandits tripped over the corpses from time to time, and their speed was extremely slow.

The golden-eyed eagle was anxious, so he couldn't care about hiding, and hurriedly ordered his men to light torches.

In an instant, dozens of torches lit up the narrow mountain paths, illuminating them as bright as day. The golden-eyed eagle breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to continue moving forward, when he suddenly heard a sound overhead, and when he looked up urgently, it was countless large and small falling rocks rolling down from the mountain!

The bandits were shocked, and you pushed me to the ground and tried to find a place to hide. But in such a small space, and the bandits are so dense, where are they hiding? In an instant, the falling rocks had smashed into the bandits, causing a terrible howl!

With his good skills, the golden-eyed eagle sideways can avoid a mountain stone with countless edges and corners, but his clothes are also hung with several big holes.

"I'm a thief!" At this time, the golden-eyed eagle was already a little crying, and he remembered that during the day, the enemy had sent small forces to climb the mountains on both sides of the valley, and it turned out that they had stayed on it!

At this time, a large number of bandits had not been in the valley for a long time, and the stone walls on both sides were still sloping, rather than going straight up and down like the mountain. The golden-eyed eagle wanted to kill directly from the stone wall and destroy the few enemies.

But as soon as he gave the order, there was a loud "bang" sound above his head, and it turned out that there were also birds on the top of the mountain!

Because the bandits below are lighting torches, they just shine a clear light on the valley. The above Tuan Yong was originally only ordered to do a diversion ambush here, and when the bandits passed by, they only needed to place guns in the valley to stop the bandits; Fortunately, the bandits with torches became excellent targets, and in a short time they were beaten and laid down more than a dozen times.

The golden-eyed eagle was really anxious at this time, and subconsciously opened his bow and arrows, wanting to shoot at the bird on the top of the mountain. But when he looked up, he was dumbfounded, it turned out that the location was completely in the hands of others at this time, and after the group braves fired a shot, they immediately retracted to the edge of the cliff. No matter how accurate the golden-eyed eagle is, it is impossible to shoot to the dead corner, so he has to withdraw his bow and arrow in hatred.

At this time, there was a great chaos in the valley, and there was no need for the group to shoot again, and the bandits themselves rushed into each other. Fearing that they would become targets with their torches, they extinguished their torches one after another. As a result, although the regimental warriors above their heads lost their goals, the bandits became headless flies, pushing and trampling each other, and there were countless casualties.

Seeing that this raid had become this virtue again, the golden-eyed eagle couldn't help but feel sad. If you stay in the big stone gate any longer, let alone flank the enemy, you will be completely annihilated. Therefore, he had to shout with tears in his eyes: "Withdraw! Retreat to the top! ”

Only then did the bandits return from the same road as if they had been amnestied, and they were defeated and returned to the cottage.

At the same time, the battle at the foot of the mountain is also coming to an end. It turned out that the entire attack plan was proposed by Li Dingguo, and Zhu Youzhen adopted it in its entirety. First of all, they made full use of the favorable terrain of the Great Stone Gate and set up the main battlefield to kill the enemy, which also made the power of the bird gun to the extreme.

Secondly, the bandits in Houzhai came to copy the back road of the militia group, which was also expected by Li Dingguo. He set a clever trap and waited for the bandits to come and drill him.

When the 400 people led by Zhu Youzhen attacked through the Dashimen, Li Dingguo and the remaining 200 regiments quietly lay in ambush outside the Dashimen. On the second watch, the bandits in Houzhai really came to help, because they were in a hurry to attack Zhu Youzhen, they didn't notice that there was an ambush nearby.

After hundreds of bandits all entered the Dashimen, Li Dingguo led the crowd to seal the entrance tightly and pursued upward. This is good, the golden-eyed eagle originally wanted to attack the militia, but he didn't want his back village to be really attacked up and down.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's shield phalanx repeated its old tricks, and it was pressed down along the narrow mountain road. The combat effectiveness of the bandits in Houzhai was not as good as that of Zhongzhai, and under the attack from top to bottom, the whole army soon collapsed. Including the Sanzhai master "Sai Zhang Fei", none of them ran away, and they were all annihilated in the big stone gate.

Zhu Youzhen and Li Dingguo joined forces to check the number of people, and found that the casualties were extremely minor, so they immediately attacked the mountain along the big stone gate. At this time, the golden-eyed eagle had led the crowd away, and there was no trouble on the way.

When we arrived at the flat land in the mountains, it was nearly five watches. The group was brave enough to fight, led by Xie Yong and Li Laiheng and others, all advocated striking while the iron was hot and attacking the top in one fell swoop.

Li Dingguo said: "At present, the balance of forces between the enemy and us has been reversed, and our victory has been decided, but there is no need to be in a hurry. As the saying goes, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the road to the top is even steeper, and it is extremely difficult to attack at night, which may cause unnecessary casualties. It's better to surround the bandits first, rest for a while, and wait for dawn before you take care of it. ”

"Well said!" Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and laughed, "You all learn from Dingguo!" In the future, you will all have to be in charge of thousands of armies and horses alone, so that the way of the generals is in this bit by bit, you must not ignore it! ”

After hearing this, everyone felt embarrassed and a little unconvinced, and was even tickled by Zhu Youzhen's words: In charge of thousands of troops? Can I have such a chance?

After a short break, the sky gradually cleared, but the fog in the mountains became thicker. Zhu Youzhen, accompanied by Li Dingguo, came to the top of Shimen Ridge to observe the terrain. After watching for a long time, both of them were worried.

"Dingguo, how do you think this next battle will be fought?" At this time, Zhu Youzhen had already determined that Li Dingguo was a combat genius, so he attached great importance to his opinion.

Li Dingguo also groaned: "We have been fighting with the bandits for a day and a night, and it is absolutely impossible to go up the mountain or raid like before." But if we have to attack hard, the terrain of this summit is different from the big stone gate, there are cliffs on three sides, and the bandits are standing on top of us, and they will definitely attack with falling rocks, and we will have to pay a lot of casualties.

"If you surround but don't fight, waiting for the bandits to die of thirst, it's a law. But then it will take a long time, to say the least, seven or eight days. ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. At the moment, his most precious thing is time, if it takes ten days and a half months to break through a bandit cottage, then how can he get it?

Just as he was hesitating, Yan Ling, who had been idle, came up and said with a smile: "Helper, is it time for us to be on the secret service." ”
