Chonghu ran all the way back to the cottage under the escort of his cronies, running all the way and shouting all the way, "Big brother is not good!" We were ambushed by the officers and soldiers! ”

Chongxing on the mountain also received news that his younger brother and his people were ambushed by the official army, and Chongxing was about to take the remaining more than 1,000 people to the rescue, but before he could go out, he received news that the men and horses under the mountain had been defeated. Chongxing didn't decide what to do, so he heard his younger brother shouting, and then Chonghu ran into the hall in embarrassment, hugged Chongxing's thigh and cried and said, "Big brother! I was ambushed by the official army! All my brothers are gone! I have betrayed your trust! Beat me to death! ”

Chongxing kicked away, and his younger brother, who was still crying, said, "What a howl! I'm not dead yet! Shut up! After saying that, he glared at Chonghu fiercely, Chonghu looked at his brother's fierce eyes, trembled for a while, and didn't dare to cry.

Seeing that his younger brother had stopped speaking, Chongxing asked, "How did you lose?" Do you see what kind of officers and soldiers are there? How many officers and soldiers are there? What is the situation under the mountain now? He said to a cronie next to him, "You go and find out what's going on down the mountain!" Guard the main road up the mountain, and report to me as soon as the officers and troops attack! ”

After that, he looked at his younger brother who was kneeling on the ground and shouted, "Don't say it quickly!" ”

"Originally, I led people to besiege the caravan under the mountain! Who knew that they had already prepared, and when I led people to rush down, I found that they were actually officers and soldiers, and they were not carrying property, but sand, and I immediately knew that I had been ambushed and was ready to retreat! Who knew that at this time, a group of cavalry was killed, and we were defeated in three or two strokes, and then a large group of officers and soldiers appeared, and the brothers were surrounded before they had time to escape! Chonghu pondered his words and said

"Then do you see the banner of the official army clearly? How many of them are there? Getting to the point! Chongxing said angrily

"Yes, yes! I seem to see the word "broken" written on the banner of the official army, and the number of officers and soldiers is not large, and there are thousands of people, but the cruelty is abnormal! It's not like a guard! Chonghu said in fear

After listening to his younger brother's words, Chongxing frowned, and then asked to his side, "Which of you knows the origin of this Broken Army?" ”

Hearing Chongxing's question, his subordinates fell into deep thought, and suddenly someone exclaimed, "I know! Didn't Kong Youde send someone to recruit us when he fought Pingdu a few months ago? I heard from that messenger that it was this army of spoilers that caused them to suffer a great loss! I have fought in Qingzhou and Laizhou, and it is very difficult! It can't be this one, right? ”

"Newspaper... The big boss of the mountain army has begun to come up the mountain! At least more than a thousand people, and with artillery! At that moment, a minion hurried into the hall.

"What!" Hearing the minion's report, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Chongxing and asked, "Big boss!" What to do? The officers and troops have attacked the mountain! ”

"What to do? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! The terrain of Daqingshan is dangerous! Which of the officers and troops have attacked so many times? Walk! Come and see! Chongxing said disdainfully

On the other side, after Liu Fan captured the remaining bandits with the Broken Army, he took more than 1,000 people to the foot of Daqing Mountain. From the bottom to the top, the terrain of Daqingshan is indeed steep, except for an artificial mountain road, surrounded by steep cliffs, and covered with some thorny shrubs, it looks lush from a distance, this kind of terrain is not to mention marching, even the hunters in the mountains dare not walk. If you attack along this only passage, not to mention whether you take it or not, Liu Fan's men will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and Liu Fan is reluctant to let his carefully trained soldiers die in the battle against the bandits.

After discussing with his subordinates, he felt that it was better to attack the heart, and under Liu Fan's order, Wu Tao led the supervising team to drive away the bandit captives and shouted to persuade them to surrender, but after wasting saliva for a long time, it had little effect. Under the long-term prestige of the bandits on the mountain, no one dared to open the door and surrender.

Seeing that there was no effect, Liu Fan ordered the siege of the city, and the five tiger squat cannons were lined up, and the muzzles of the black hole were facing the bandit cottage. Seeing the officers and soldiers pushing out the cannons, there was a commotion among the bandits on the mountain. Seeing this, Chongxing shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone! It's just a tiger squat cannon! This small cannon has a short range and is not a threat! The bandit leader also shouted and cursed, and the bandits who had been in turmoil on the mountain quickly calmed down.

Liu Fan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered the cannon to be fired. Due to the short range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, it had to shoot at close range. Liu Fan sent a team of soldiers to cover and push the cannon close to the cottage. Several cannons began to wield, and the rumbling cannons sounded, and the cottage of the civil structure on the mountain, where could it withstand the bombardment of the cannons! The cannonballs hit the head of the city, and the bricks and trees shattered, and the bandits, who had no time to dodge, were hit by the flying bricks and trees, and fell to the ground with a wail, and the bandits were suddenly beaten and could not raise their heads.

The coolie battalion death squad, which had been preparing for a long time, took this opportunity to rush towards the gate with explosives. Chongxing hid at the head of the city and saw clearly, and immediately ordered the bandits to fight back and not to let the officers and soldiers approach. These bandits usually rob homes and houses, but if they really want to fight, they have no sense of fighting at all, and they have already been blinded by artillery at this time, and no one dares to raise their heads no matter how Fan Xing shouts. Chongxing had no choice but to order his henchmen to counterattack, and a rain of arrows flew by, which could not pose much threat to the death squad at all, and in a few breaths, the soldiers of the death squad rushed to the gate with gunpowder. A huge explosion sounded, and the wooden gate was suddenly blown down! Seeing this opportunity, Liu Fan ordered loudly: "The city gate has been broken!" Rush up and kill all the bandits and occupy the cottage! The soldiers of the Broken Army received the order and shouted, "Kill!" "Rush towards the mountain.

The death squad was the first to rush into the city gate, cut down the bandits who wanted to resist, and guarded the gate and waited for the arrival of the large army. In a few breaths, Wu Tao had already led people to rush to the cottage, and a small team of the Broken Army formed a formation to kill the bandits, the spears stabbed, and the approaching bandits were immediately picked up, and the blood sprayed and they couldn't live! Shang Ming, the leader of the death squad, was very brave, holding a big knife, and roared angrily, "Kill!" He rushed towards the nearest bandit, and as soon as the big knife was raised, the bandit was cut off before he could react, and the blood spurted out of his chest and drenched Shang Ming's face, Shang Ming wiped his face, shouted and killed the enemy, the blood accompanied by the hideous face was really terrifying, and the bandit in front of him turned around and ran. The death squads were also very excited when they saw the captain so brave, and joined the ranks of chasing and killing the bandits with a roar!

When he saw that the gate of the village was blown up, Fan Xing already felt bad, and when he saw the official army rushing into the cottage, he knew that the general trend was gone, and took his henchmen and younger brother to take the lead in running towards the back house. Seeing the leader fleeing, the remaining bandits lost their fighting spirit even more, had no intention of resisting, and collapsed in less than a moment!

Liu Fan saw that the bandits had lost their fighting spirit, and shouted, "Kneel on the ground to avoid death!" The surrounding soldiers immediately shouted, "Kneel on the ground to avoid death!" Soon the voice rang out throughout the official and military camps. Hearing that they didn't have to die, the bandits, who didn't have time to escape, immediately laid down their weapons and fell to their knees. The soldiers of the Broken Army did not care about the soldiers who surrendered, and still killed the bandits who refused to surrender.

An hour later, Liu Fan sat on the tiger skin chair in the Daqingshan Juyi Hall, listening to Wu Tao's report, "My lord! This time, more than 1,200 enemies were annihilated and more than 1,500 bandits were captured. There are more than 2,000 elderly and weak families. Our troops lost 156 people killed and more than 500 wounded, mostly lightly wounded. In addition, the bandit leader Fan Chongxing and his family have fled! The back house found a secret passage that could lead to the back mountain, and when our people chased after them, they had lost the trace of Fan Chongxing and others! ”
