(If you like this book, please bookmark it, thank you.) ๏ผ
With Li Baihu's order, the officers and soldiers who surrounded the mountain began to attack the mountain with spears.
Two hundred yuan per person is enough for a family to eat and drink well for two or three years, especially the military households of the Ming Dynasty, life is not easy, and if there is no military merit, you have to starve to death.
Zhang Mu looked back at his people, counting Han Fangshan and Tao Xingchang, there were only fifteen or sixteen people in total, and the horses were all left at the bottom of the mountain.
After all, this is real life, even if the martial arts are high, more than a dozen people are holding spears against one, which is no different from slaughter, not to mention that they also have archers, swords, axes and shield soldiers, who knows if there are no reinforcements yet?
Hard fighting is not the way, Zhang Mu hurriedly returned to the temple and said: "Lord Han, there are more than 100 people outside, and we only have a dead end if we fight hard." I have a way to take a risk, I don't know if adults believe me or not? โ
Han Fangshan's face turned pale, and he took a deep breath and said, "There is a dead end left and right, you say it." โ
Zhang Mu hurriedly said a few words in Han Fangshan's ear, Han Fangshan hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do it, fight with them." โ
"Brother Li, I'll try to trick that guy surnamed Li to the slope in a while, do you have a way to take him down?" Zhang Mu asked.
"Try your best." Said sternly.
"Okay, you go and arrange it. I'm going to lie to him, the python is going to find reinforcements, and we'll be victorious if we drag it out until early in the morning, and it depends on the will of God whether it will be fulfilled or not. Speaking of this, Zhang Mu hunched out of the temple gate, hid behind the earthen wall and shouted: "Lord Li, I am Zhang Mu, why don't we make a deal?" โ
"Don't talk nonsense, wait for the turtle in the urn, and prepare to die." Li Baihu said angrily.
"My lord, these people brought by my subordinates are all masters of the Yan family, including the famous Zhedong Sword King Zhao Feng, we have a bow and crossbow in our hands, although we are not your opponents, but we want to fight to the death and break the net, you can't do it without sending thirty or fifty lives. Even if you don't feel sorry for your brothers, aren't you afraid of being reprimanded by your superiors? Zhang Mu shouted.
"Don't talk here and continue to attack the mountain." Li Baihu said angrily.
"Fight back!" Zhang Mu shouted, and at that moment, the Yan family brothers opened their bows and crossbows, and went down the mountain for a while, and in a trance, they heard someone falling, and there was chaos.
"My lord, Han Fangshan is dead, Tao Xingchang is seriously injured, I will hand them over to you, whatever you do, as long as we are let live, why should we meet each other? From now on, you take your sunny path, and I take my single-plank bridge. As long as I give my brother a life, if there is one person present today, one will be counted as one, and I am willing to reward each of them with three hundred yuan. What do you think? Zhang Mu shouted.
Sure enough, there was no movement under the mountain, and Zhang Mu knew that there was a play.
Li Baihu is in his early fifties, his real name is Li Guan, and his character is Shaoyou, and now he is standing on the side of a jujube red horse, holding a spear in his hand, wearing a blue sรจ gown, and not wearing armor.
Standing beside him was Song Xiancheng, who fled early this morning.
"Brother Shaoyou, this kid is scheming, his words can't be trusted. Take him down now, and get rid of the troubles, and when you ask from above, someone will naturally cover it up for you. You can do it with confidence. Song County said in his ear.
"Brother Song, don't be impatient, I already know his identity, how can there be any reason to let him go back? The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, as long as they are deceived out of the temple, then they don't want to clean them up like this? If there are really too many dead and injured brothers, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the mouths of the people. Li Guan whispered.
Song County Cheng is now very reluctant to break Zhang Mu's body into ten thousand pieces, but Li Guan has Li Guan's considerations, and now they have killed more than ten people and injured seven or eight in the ambush, these big-headed soldiers still think that the bandits on the mountain, if there are too many dead, it is really difficult to cover up, so he said: "That's good, don't be fooled." โ
"Don't worry, I'm measured." At that moment, Li Guan shouted: "Han Fangshan is really dead? โ
"It's really dead, and I don't have a breath left. Master Li, I just mistakenly believed his nonsense, thinking that he was a Jinyi guard, otherwise I would not have helped him if I died. Come to think of it, this matter is beneficial to you and me, so why do you have to fight to the death? Zhang Mu shouted.
"Okay, you send Han Fangshan's body down to me, and I'll let your brother go." Li Guan sneered.
"How's that going to work? It's not that I don't believe Master Li, but there are too many of you. Why don't you let you retreat first, I'll carry Han Fangshan's body out, and after you verify your identity, get out of the way and return our horses, what do you think? Zhang Mu shouted.
"Hmph, ridiculous, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with the old man?" Li Guan said angrily.
"Lord Li, people die for money, and birds die for food. In this way, we will come out with three people, and carry his body halfway up the slope, and you can come up with your own soldiers, and I will stay as a hostage, and you will verify your identity, and let our people go? Zhang Mu shouted.
When Li Guan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said secretly: "It seems that this kid is begging for his life." He immediately shouted, "Well, a word is a certainty." They retreated first, and took out their horses and put them at the foot of the mountain. Speaking of this, he shouted: "I, Li, have always been a man of his word, come out." โ
"Okay, don't do it, I'll come out." Shouting here, Zhang Mu turned around and said, "Brother Li, Zhao Feng, let's go." Don't come out for the others. Zhang Mu said in a low voice.
"I'll go, if Zhao Feng is here, the person surnamed Li will definitely not dare to lean over, but it will be a bad thing. When he looks at us three children, he might be relaxed. Yan Su hurriedly said.
"No, it's too dangerous." Shook his head sternly.
"Big brother, it's all this time, if he finds out, we won't be able to live." Yan Su said.
"That's it, Yan Su, let's go, this surnamed Zhao will definitely not let us live, there is only one chance. To live together, to die, let's die together. You are not alone on Huangquan Road. Zhang Mu hesitated and said.
Yan Su looked at Zhang Mu's resolute gaze, and for some reason, his heart suddenly twitched, and at that moment, Zhao Feng and the others hurriedly handed them daggers, hidden arrows and other hidden weapons.
Zhang Mu put a dagger into his boots, took a deep breath and turned back to Han Fangshan and said, "Lord Han, if we live this time, why do you have to give me a promotion?" โ
"Gua Wazi, when will you still invite credit." Han Fangshan grinned.
Zhang Mu glanced back at the many Yan family masters, and smiled ashamedly: "Everyone, I'm sorry for everyone." If I survive, I will repay everyone. Let's go! โ
Saying this, Zhang Mu poked his head out and shouted, "We're down, my lord, you can take it up." After speaking, he and Yan Yan dragged Han Fangshan's legs and cautiously stepped out of the temple gate.
Li Guan looked up and saw a total of four people coming out, Zhang Mu didn't say anything, he was twelve or thirteen years old, and he looked stern seventeen or eighteen years old, but he didn't have any weapons, and the remaining one was slightly older than Zhang Mu, so what else did he worry about?
"Mr. Wu Qi, take ten reliable brothers and go up with me, just watch the other people in the temple go up the slope, and let the archers and pikemen kill them." Li Guan whispered.
"Don't worry, my lordship, I understand." Wu Qi said with a fist.
A moment later, Li Guan really approached the hillside with only ten people with long knives.
Zhang Mu's heart was beating violently, watching Li Guan get closer and closer, closer and closer.
Li Guan looked at Han Fangshan lying on the ground from a distance, and he was indeed not breathing, so he leaned forward with confidence, squatted on the ground and looked at Han Fangshan and sneered: "Very good, I can let your people come out." โ
"Do it!" Zhang Mu roared angrily, Han Fangshan suddenly opened his eyes, hugged his neck, and then Yan Suhe took out a secret weapon and sprinkled it towards his own soldiers.
Zhang Mu took out a dagger and stabbed it into Li Guan's ass, and roared angrily around: "Don't move for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will send him to the West Heaven!" โ
