Chapter Forty-Nine: Making a Big Profit

A cold wind blew, and the heavy fishy stench pierced the nostrils, facing the corpses above and below the city, finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, squatting by the wall and vomiting, like a plague, more and more young soldiers joined the ranks of vomiting, eager to vomit all the bile.

Zhang Ke stood in the wind, without saying a word, from noon, the battle lasted only two hours, and more than fifty bandits were killed, and there were many more wounded. As for the recruits, it was not easy, seven soldiers died, and more than 20 were wounded, two or three of whom were afraid that they would be left with lifelong disabilities.

This is just the first battle, and there will be more ferocious opponents and more brutal battles in the future!

"Brothers, cheer up, there's still something waiting for you!"

Hearing Zhang Ke's words, Qiao Fu asked in a daze: "Didn't the Xiashan Tiger retreat, what else do you need?" ”

"Hahaha, the big guy is safe to be beaten, don't you want to fight back?"

"My grandson just wants to be beaten!" Wu Boyan stood up suddenly, the battle just now gave him infinite confidence, clenched his fists and said, "My lord, are you going to go out of the city?" Raise your hands in favor of the lowly position! ”

Several young people agreed, but Qiao Tieshan frowned on the side.

"I don't agree to get out of town! Don't look at us defeating the Xiashan Tiger, most of them have to rely on the cover of the city wall, we are condescending. But out of town? The location is gone, the ice can't be used, we don't even have a sword, why fight with the bandits! ”

Qiao Tieshan said to Zhang Ke with a calm face: "It stands to reason that you are a family member and you have to listen to you, but the uncle is straight-minded, you are still young, you can't make a decision as soon as your head is hot, after all, the net worth and life of thousands of people are in your hands!" ”

Hearing Qiao Tieshan's words, several warmongers with blood surging finally calmed down, it is true that once they get out of the city, they have no advantage, if they let the Xiashan Tiger target them and use cavalry to attack, let alone break the enemy, it is still a question whether they can save their lives.

Qiao Fu hung his head dejectedly: "Brother Ke, what my father said makes sense, wait for us to train for a while and make sure they look good!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Ke suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone was confused.

"Uncle Qiao, your worries are right, we rashly attack the Xiashan Tiger, and the chance of winning is not great, but what if we don't attack the Xiashan Tiger?"

"If you don't attack him, who else can you attack?"

"Black Mountain Pass!"

These three words were spit out, and everyone present was stunned, they really couldn't keep up with Zhang Ke's thinking. Obviously, outside the city are the men and horses of the Xiashan Tiger, and if the immediate threat is not solved, they are willing to seek the near and far and attack the Black Mountain Pass, which is a bit too unbelievable!

Everyone was frowning, but Wu Boyan was the first to react, he slapped happily and gave a thumbs up.

"My lord, your trick is too clever to smash Huanglong, and you are so impressed that you throw yourself to the ground!"

"Tell me what's so clever about this trick?"

Everyone looked at Wu Boyan, Wu Boyan smiled: "My lord, you are taking the school for me, just talk about it, what Master Jiaoxi just said is right, we don't have much chance of winning the field battle with the Xiashan Tiger, but if we defend the city, the Xiashan Tiger can't help us." And the downhill tiger has brought out all the elite soldiers and strong generals, his lair is bound to be empty, if he can take the opportunity to take it down, the downhill tiger will become a lost dog, and he will collapse without a fight! ”

After listening to Wu Boyan's analysis, everyone finally suddenly realized, Qiao Tieshan thought about it, and blushed.

"My lord, I didn't understand the situation, so I talked nonsense, please punish me!"

"Uncle Qiao, it's too polite, let's be open and honest, what do you have to say. Attacking the Black Mountain Pass is one of my ideas, and whether it can be done or not is still up to everyone to discuss, after all, a long-lived thief's nest is not something that can be taken down lightly. ”

Zhang Ke's idea was bright, but if he wanted to really do it, he had to put a lot of effort into it. Several people gathered around and discussed together.

"Uncle Qiao, are you familiar with the terrain of the Black Mountain Pass?"

Qiao Tieshan scratched his head: "I've been there a few times, how can I say it, that place is not easy to attack!" ”

Zhang Ke smiled: "Uncle Qiao, let's use a topographic map of the snowdrift, you can explain." ”

"That's a good idea!"

The last thing in the city was snow, which was quickly piled up. Qiao Tieshan looked around the snowdrift in front of him and said: "The Black Mountain Pass is forty miles away from us, it is a big valley, the fine river flows through the middle, there are lakes in the valley, there are a lot of aquatic products, and on both sides of the lake are bandits' dens. The exit of the valley is only more than ten zhang, and a water village is set up, which is guarded day and night. There is a saying that one husband should be closed! The imperial court has sent men and horses several times, firstly, the Black Mountain Pass is too difficult to fight, and secondly, it is outside the Great Wall, and the dispatch of the army will attract the Mongols, so it has never succeeded! ”

After Qiao Tieshan finished speaking, even Zhang Ke was dumbfounded, he suddenly wanted to attack the Black Mountain Pass, but now that he looks at it, the terrain of this Black Mountain Pass is too amazing, even if thousands of troops want to take it, it is not easy, let alone them!

Just when everyone was a little depressed, suddenly Qiao Fu slapped his thigh and jumped up violently.

"Big brother, we've been to this place!"

Qiao Gui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right, we did go." I remember that there was a trail at the back of the Black Mountain Pass that led into the valley. ”

Zhang Ke hurriedly grabbed Qiao Fu and said excitedly: "Really? ”

"Brother Ke, it won't be wrong, the two of us touched the bandits' lair in a daze, and we were chased by others, and we almost lost our lives!"

"Great! Forehead...... It's not that you're being chased...... Or is it being chased...... In short, there is hope for attacking the Black Mountain Pass! Zhang Ke spoke incoherently excitedly, and asked carefully about the situation, and a combat plan gradually took shape.

"Uncle Qiao, I'm going to attack the Black Mountain Pass myself, and the housekeeping will be left to you."

Qiao Tieshan nodded: "Okay, with me, don't care if it's a downhill tiger or an uphill tiger, don't even think about coming in!" ”

Zhang Ke immediately began to select personnel, he was ready to attack at night, he must not have night blindness, but also have a strong body, able to withstand a rapid march.

In the end, eighty soldiers were selected, and Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu led the way. For their sneak attack, all the family money was turned upside down, and all the metal weapons in the city belonged to them. Even so, more than two dozen soldiers could only carry wooden guns. Zhang Ke also prepared a large number of fire-starting things, and when he built the ice city, in order to dig the river to get ice, he bought more than 400 catties of gunpowder from the craftsmen who made firecrackers, and more than half of them were left, and they also carried them.

After cleaning up, Zhang Ke personally led the team, quietly tied it with a rope, and went out of the city from the west gate. The bandits didn't bother to monitor at all, and Zhang Keshun left Hewan Village.

Walking all the way north, over the Great Wall, until most of the night, the wind gusted, and there were snowflakes.

"Oh my God, what kind of snow is it!" Qiao Fu muttered and complained.

Zhang Ke was full of smiles on his face: "God is helping us, the only way for us to win is to raid, with this snow, the defense of the Black Mountain Pass will be loosened!" ”

Zhang Ke asked Qiao Fu excitedly: "How far is it?" ”

"It's about ten miles, and you can get there when you think it's ugly."

At two or three o'clock in the evening, it was a good time to kill people and set fires in the dead of night, and Zhang Ke became more and more happy.

"Qiao Fu, you take twenty people, take the fire-starting thing, go around the path, as long as you hear the explosion, you shout loudly that the mountain tiger has been defeated, and the officers and soldiers have surrounded and suppressed, and then set fire everywhere to create chaos!"

"Well, I see!" Qiao Fu and his men immediately disappeared into the night.

Zhang Ke and Qiao Gui continued to march towards the Black Mountain Pass, and walked for more than an hour, when a continuous mountain appeared in the faint wind and snow, and a river flowed out of the mountains, and the river surface had frozen to a thick layer of ice at this time.

Looking up along the river, a wooden village stood in front of it, and two dim oil lamps hung on it, and the patrolmen seemed to have fallen asleep. After the painstaking management of the Xiashan Tiger, whether it is the Mongols or the Ming Dynasty, they all have his eyeliner, and if they come to suppress the bandits, he will be the first to get the news. As for the ordinary forces, they don't dare to provoke them, but how did they know that they have encountered unbelievers today!

Zhang Ke led the soldiers to hide in the wind and snow and observe carefully.

"From the front, it's easy to alarm the people inside, is there anyone who is good at climbing mountains, climbing up with gunpowder on his back, and blowing up the wooden village for me?"

"My lord, I am willing to go!" Ma Biao took the initiative to stand up.

Zhang Ke looked at his thin body and shook his head a little: "The gunpowder is not light, can you do it?" ”

"My lord, I promise to be able to do it!"

Zhang Ke nodded, and found three more soldiers, each of whom carried fifty catties of gunpowder on their backs and climbed up from the rocks on both sides. Steep rocks, thick snow, and carrying things, Zhang Ke couldn't help but sweat.

Ma Biao was faster than he imagined, he was like a monkey, climbed the mountain rocks more than three zhang, quietly approached the village, and when the four of them arrived without danger, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Ma Biao tied the gunpowder bag with a rope and tied it gently, and the four gunpowder bags were piled up. Ma Biao gritted his teeth and took out the fire fold, and the fire rope stabbed, and the four of them hurriedly turned around and hid behind the rocks, and after waiting for less than a minute, they heard a loud noise.

The firelight burst out, the mountain rocks cracked, and the three-zhang high wooden village was blown into the sky in an instant. A violent noise echoed through the valley, and the earth shook with it. Although the power of ** is not good, it is better than the quantity, and Zhang Ke's ears are also buzzing.

He didn't care about this, drew his knife, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

Dawn is the time when people sleep the deadliest, and the sudden explosion blew up the bandits, and some people thought it was an earthquake, and ran out with their bare buttocks, crying out from the cold.

"Oh no, the big boss is dead!"

"The men and horses of the imperial court are here!"

"Run, don't be a ghost!"

……

Shouts of killing were everywhere, flames rose into the sky, and some people were burned to death in the bed. Someone else rushed out, and it happened to be Zhang Ke who rushed up with someone and split it in half like chopping melons and vegetables.

In the face of the attack, the bandits were completely unprepared, but the tiger was not there, and the bandits who had lost their backbone were running around, and the whole valley was a mess.

Zhang Ke seemed to be possessed by a demonic spirit, killing and slashing all the way, and everywhere he passed, there were bandit corpses all over the ground.

"Brother Ke, come here!"

Zhang Ke suddenly heard Qiao Fu's shout, and he hurriedly rushed over with someone. Qiao Fu stood in front of a row of caves, grinning and smirking.

"Don't be stupid, what did you find?"

"Brother Ke, come in and take a look."

Zhang Ke walked into the cave, and there were all racks of knives and guns, full of all kinds of weapons, a few of which were even full of firearms, there were more than 100 rods, and there were four tiger squat cannons next to them.

"Richer than Lao Tzu!" Zhang Ke was red-eyed and warm-hearted, but he couldn't play with these firearms without practicing.

"Leave ten people to watch, and the rest take knives and guns, and kill all the bandits with me!"

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.
