Cao Zheng's words are not unreasonable, but everyone knows in their hearts that the main thing is that the attraction of the repeater is too great, otherwise Cao Zheng will not speak easily.

Gongsun Sheng said: "Brother Cao, you can't say that, our second battalion is not the only one in Tie Niu, isn't there still me, I will take care of Tie Niu, brother, let us go to the second battalion." ”

Zou Run didn't want to see only the first battalion and the second battalion rob, but he didn't have a chance, so he couldn't help but interject and said: "Brother, let's let the third battalion go, our third battalion has rich experience and guarantees the smooth completion of the task." ”

Erniang didn't express any opinions this time, because no matter how the three battalions fought, she would fight in the end, so there was no need to waste her lips and tongues at all.

For a while, the people of the three battalions did not give in to each other, and everyone wanted to compete for the opportunity to fight, because the reward was so tempting that there was no one here who did not want to fight.

Looking at the red faces of the people fighting in front of him, he stopped and said: "Okay, okay, everyone doesn't have to quarrel, this time the first battalion and the second battalion will fight together, we are not familiar with the Cui Mang Ridge, it is better to go to more people to stabilize it, and the people of the third battalion will stay and garrison." ”

In this way, the number of people in this dispatch reached about 1,000, and the most elite cavalry company was also dispatched, and I believe that this time the brothers will be able to return triumphantly.

There are people like Cao Zheng and Gongsun Sheng, as well as people like Li Kui and Gu Sister-in-law who are highly skilled and experienced, I believe that this battle will definitely be won.

Jiese said: "Although the people of your two battalions fought together this time, you must discuss everything, don't go your own way, you must cherish the strength in your hands, and don't give away the lives of your brothers in vain." ”

Cao Zhengdao: "Brother, don't worry, we will discuss it well, the big guys are good brothers, there will be no problems." ”

Li Kui also said: "Yes, we won't mess around, with Brother Cao and Xiaosheng following, I can't mess around if I want to." ”

Hearing his words, everyone laughed more than once, but Zou Run and Song Qing didn't get the battle, and they were really a little depressed, plus the staff officer of Shi Qian's company was not yet, so they were even more depressed.

Jiese said: "The people of your two battalions are ready to prepare, choose a day and set off, the pro-soldier company has been adapting to the crossbow for the past two days, and if there is anything that is not useful, put it forward, so that the craftsman can improve it." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and Erniang said anxiously: "When will the crossbow be given to us, will it be distributed in a while?" ”

Jie Se said: "After a while, you will take some people to the craftsman to make a continuous take, remember, one person, don't take more, the bow and arrow can be captured, but the crossbow can't be taken more, you know?" ”

Erniang nodded helplessly, thinking about taking the opportunity to take a few more, but she didn't expect to be seen through by the quit color, so she could only give up the plan in her heart.

Hearing that the company of soldiers could go to the craftsman to make a company and take a repeater, all the generals were envious in their hearts, and at the same time they also wanted to follow and see what the repeater looked like.

The place where the craftsman is located is in the back mountain of Erlong Mountain, the best buildings in the entire Erlong Mountain are here, and the best facilities are also here.

If outsiders see it, they will definitely think that these people are playthings, only Jiese and Hua Qiu know that if these things can be done successfully, they will definitely be of great help to Erlong Mountain.

The work place of the whole craftsman company is very large, and he has to come and go around from time to time, and all the strange ideas are still here, and finally Hua Qiu is left to think alone.

Soon, Erniang led the people in the company to move the crossbow of the company, and the generals who came with him took it in their hands and touched it, looked at it and looked at it, and they were even more envious in their hearts.

It's just envy and envy, things have to be returned to others, and now I can only look at it, thinking in my heart, when will it be really equipped.

The big guy's desire to make the first contribution is even more urgent, with the repeater, it is estimated that the casualties will be much smaller, and the victory rate of the battle will increase a lot.

There are more than 100 people in the craftsman company, most of them are from captives, and they are doing all kinds of groceries these days, and there are some smart ones, who are favored by Huaqiu and other craftsmen, and are quickly promoted to be the team leader.

The precept requires the craftsman to make a batch of repeating crossbows in the past few days, and strive to be able to make them when Li Kui and others are triumphant, so as not to break their promises.

Such a requirement makes Huaqiu can only process overnight, and has no time to do anything else, and now the busiest in the entire Erlong Mountain may belong to Huaqiu, he has to help with all kinds of ideas for quitting color, and he has to try to realize it, he doesn't know where the master came from these many ideas, many of them are incredible.

After seeing the repeater, Li Kui and the others couldn't wait at all, and couldn't wait to suppress Cuimangling, but Erniang's personal soldier company still needed to adapt to the repeater, so they delayed for two days.

Two days later, more than 1,000 people from the two battalions and one company marched towards Cuimangling, and Erniang's cavalry company served as the vanguard, and the sentry had already been sent out.

Cui Mang Ridge is a place similar to a cross slope, the surrounding vegetation is dense, few people, but the terrain is relatively gentle, only a little uplift in the middle, where the jungle is more dense.

It's just that in this winter, all the leaves have fallen off, the grass has died, and only dead wood and dry wood can be seen all over the ground, and the depths of the jungle are hidden by trees, and you can't see too deep at all.

The sentinel did not dare to go deeper into the woods after a few steps, because he was afraid of startling the snakes, and when Cao Zheng waited for the arrival of the large army, the situation was also quite tricky, just like a cross slope, such a place is very easy to set up an ambush, in case it is not good to hit the ambush, then it will be more than worth the loss.

is Li Kui's reckless temperament, and he also knows that this deep mountain and wild mountain is too dangerous, although there are many people on his side, he can't see the trace of the enemy.

Maybe his trace has already been discovered by the other party, or maybe the other party doesn't know whether he should go in and take risks, Cao Zheng is really a little uncertain.

Li Kui stood at the front of the team and said, "Brother Cao, you wait here, I'll take a company of people in to investigate first, if it's safe, you are advancing." ”

Cao Zhengdao: "That's not good, it's better for me to take someone to go, to be honest, jungle warfare is the most difficult to fight, this battle is fought, even if we win, it is estimated that we will have to lose a lot of people." ”

Gongsun Sheng then sighed: "Yes, now that we have arrived at this place, we can't give up, this battle may be the hardest battle we have fought, no matter what, we have already boasted in front of my brother, so we can't retreat anymore." ”

Zhang Qing said: "Brother Cao, why don't I go, you and Tie Niu are both the masters of the same battalion, and there can't be any mistakes, so I'll lead the people there." ”

After that, he turned to Zou Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, hand over your company to me, I will rush in with people, and if it is safe, you will follow." ”

Zou Yuan said: "Brother Zhang, let's go, I have experienced more jungle warfare than you, and I have more experience than you, I will take people with me." ”

Sister-in-law Gu also hurriedly said: "It's better for us to go, you just wait here." ”

The generals rushed to go in first, and the atmosphere was quite lively for a while, but everyone was reluctant to pass Li Kui and Ding Desun, and they were eager to take his company to the forest.

Everyone couldn't stop him, so he could only let Li Kui go inside, he strode forward, without the slightest timidity, the so-called art master was bold, Li Kui quickly took people to walk a long distance.

Cao Zheng and the others followed up slowly, always keeping a certain distance from Li Kui, but after traveling a distance, they did not encounter the slightest resistance.

Cao Zheng and the others were even more puzzled, afraid that the further they went, the more powerful traps were waiting for everyone. Li Kui is still making great strides, and he has not encountered any obstacles along the way.

This situation made Li Kui really wonder if there was a group of bandits entrenched here, and the more he went, the more relieved he became, and the more courageous he became.

Cao Zheng and the others were very worried about Li Kui's safety in the back, while the cavalry company stayed outside the forest and waited, such a terrain was really not suitable for the cavalry company to show its hands and feet.

After walking for half an hour, Li Kui finally walked to an open place, and did not encounter any resistance along the way, and Cao Zheng and the others began to wonder if this place was really entrenched in their hearts, just like Li Kui.

At this moment, Li Kui has already seen the destination of this trip, there is indeed a group of bandits here, a fairly simple gatehouse stands in the open area in front of him, and there are rows of people holding swords behind the gatehouse.

It seemed that these people had been waiting for a long time again, and it was estimated that there could be as many as four or five hundred people, and these people were neatly lined up, but they did not make a sound, and it seemed that they should be a well-trained group.

What Li Kui couldn't understand was that he knew that someone was attacking, why didn't he set up an ambush when the terrain had obvious advantages, could it be that the other party had already set a trap and could only wait for someone to come here?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of uneasiness in his heart, looking at the rows of bandits standing behind the gatehouse in front of him, Li Kui didn't think that they were better at fighting than his own subordinates, but that kind of calm mentality made him very worried.

I thought to myself, if the other party hadn't set up an ambush in advance, how could he stand here so idly, it's not good, I should quickly notify Brother Cao and them, so as not to be ambushed by them.

Just as Li Kui turned around and wanted to instruct his subordinates to inform him of the danger here, a voice suddenly came from behind the gatehouse, strong and powerful, "The person who came is from Erlong Mountain, is this trip specially to arrest the Taiping Daoists?" ”
