Hao Zhao, as the supreme military leader of the Xuzhou Army stationed in Shu County, has the right to arbitrarily decide everything in Shu County. In other words, within the scope of Shu County, if he sees whoever is not pleasing to the eye, he can kill him without going through it!

When the news of the plague spread in the Xuzhou army and spread to Shu County, Hao Zhao had tried Yuan Lian, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo, and the three of them had no different intentions, so Hao Zhao's impression of them rose to a new level. After all, Hao Zhao knew the actual situation of the plague in the Xuzhou army, while Yuan Zhao and the others did not.

Yuan Jian and the three of them didn't know that that day, they walked in the ghost gate.

Now, Yuan Lian, as the magistrate of Shu County, specializes in handling the political affairs of Shu County, Hao Zhao obeys him, and Hao Zhao fully cooperates with everything he needs. This made Yuan Lian find the feeling of being under Qiao Rui back then, and he couldn't help but feel that he was dying as a confidant.

And Chen Lan and Lei Bo, as the captains appointed by Tian Fan to suppress thieves, also received strong support from Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao has only one principle, I have the final say in Shu County, and you have the final say in Shu County. When the two of them were under Yuan Shu, they had never been treated like this, and they naturally felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

In Lujiang County, there are more than ten bandits near Shu County, and with their efforts, there are only two left. Recently, they are planning to exterminate one of them.

Scarface, formerly known as Zhao Da, has no place to go, and has taken root in Jizui Mountain in the south of Shu County during the Zhongping period, often attacking merchants who come and go, killing people like hemp, and the crimes are hard to write. This person is seven feet eight inches tall, with a dark face, ugly appearance, and a scar on his face, which makes everyone afraid and worried.

Zhao Da has a total of 800 bandits, there are no old and weak, all of them are high-ranking heroes, and many of them fled here after killing people and were taken in by Zhao Da. Suffice it to say, these people all deserve to die!

At dusk, in Zhang Da's cottage, Zhang Da and his leaders were discussing things.

A leader with a full face poured a bowl of wine on his neck, broke the wine bowl with a "hammer", and roared angrily: "Big brother, let's break through!" Jizui Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the brothers are all people who can't live, and the gold and silver money and silk in hand are left, but the food is not saved. Since the Xuzhou army entered the Lujiang River, we have not even made a decent deal, and we have lost many brothers, and now the grain and grass are about to run out. Big brother, if you don't break through, the brothers will starve to death! ”

This year's drought, Lujiang is the hardest hit area, no one has any surplus grain, they just want to grab it, but they can't grab it! What's more, since the first battle in Shuxian, all the mountain bandits were a little afraid of the Xuzhou army, and they really didn't dare to go down the mountain to loot.

Several leaders listened to this, and echoed one after another, and the crowd was excited.

Zhao Da's face was gloomy, and he glanced at everyone, and they immediately stopped their voices, and they were silent one by one. Under the prestige, coupled with Zhao Da's image is really terrifying, no one dares to look at him, even the leader of his subordinates.

After a long time, Zhao Da exhaled a breath of turbidity, clenched his right fist, and said in a deep voice: "Break through tonight!" ”

Zhao Da didn't want to leave, and he couldn't explain to his master when he left, but ...... If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll die an ugly death! Chen Lan and Lei Bo have surrounded them for a few days, and they must be familiar with the terrain, if they don't leave at this time, when they attack them in a few days, then they won't be able to leave if they want to!

The half-round bright moon hung high in the air, and on a path in the mountain behind Jizui Mountain, hundreds of black shadows were moving in black. The climate in November is already quite cold, and when the north wind blows, the black shadow clothes flutter, adding a bleak to the bleak mountains.

Zhao Da was wearing a black power suit, with several flying knives inserted in his thick belt, and a single knife in his hand, at the forefront of the team.

He was very familiar with the route, and he knew that as long as he walked another mile, to the open land in front, after the brothers scattered the birds and beasts, even if the Xuzhou army found out, there was nothing he could do, and he would be able to escape.

Zhao Da looked ahead, and there were dozens of unknown trees in front of him, the trees were tall and covered with canopies. There was a path between the trees, and if he crossed that road and crossed a small bridge, he would be able to escape!

For some reason, Zhao Da felt that these trees looked very weird, the branches with fallen leaves, in the dim moonlight, projected mottled shadows, and the shadows swayed slightly with the wind, making people uncomfortable to see.

Fortunately, there were no accidents on the way through the woods. Zhao Da couldn't help laughing, he was really scared by Chen Lan? It's all to the point where all the grass and trees are soldiers?

Seeing that it was only twenty steps away from the small bridge, there was a sudden banging sound!

Zhao Da was suddenly startled, and when his footsteps stopped, a group of shadows suddenly appeared on the side of the small bridge and the side of this gang of bandits. There are many shadows, I don't know how many people! They were obviously holding weapons in their hands, reflecting the sparkling waves in the moonlight, although there was no sound, it was even more murderous!

Hu Er, the bandit who was following behind Zhao Da, was startled and said, "Big brother, they have already prepared, let's withdraw!" ”

Zhao Da looked at it and saw that there were only a dozen people at the small bridge in front of him, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Rush over!" He was not afraid of Chen Lan and Lei Bo's soldiers, and the two sides fought several times, and Chen Lan and Lei Bo were defeated by him every time. Otherwise, Chen Lan and the others would not have waited until the end to kill him.

In this era, Lu Meng is still only a young man less than twenty years old, and there is no sentence at all, "Shibei should be impressed in three days", so Zhao Da looked away!

When Zhao Da started, a group of bandits around him hurriedly followed and strode forward. Suddenly, there was a loud noise!

Zhao Da's eyes were furious, and at the same time as he heard the sound, he immediately rolled forward with a fish leap, turned over, and fell to the ground again. But at such a speed, he still felt a shock in his left thigh, followed by a heart-piercing pain! Then he heard his brothers screaming in unison.

The opponent only attacked in one round, and under the continuous shooting of the crossbows, half of the hundreds of bandits had already fallen!

These bandits are running away, and they are not in a fighting posture, they are a long snake formation, and the Xuzhou army in ambush is also a long snake formation. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to kill so many enemies in just one salvo.

The 10-round crossbow and the three-round crossbow are designed to shoot as many bolts as possible in the shortest possible time and kill as many enemies as possible in one shot. Chen Lan and Lei Bo, as captains of thieves, according to Tian Fan's requirements, mainly trained the ability of soldiers in mountain warfare, and naturally they also had to be equipped with as many crossbow arrows as possible.

Moreover, the Xuzhou soldiers were covered with leather armor on the inside, and they wore field uniforms designed by Tian Fan on the outside. Those colorful strips of cloth hung on their bodies, not to mention the night, even during the day, as long as they hid in the grass, it was not easy to see. Otherwise, with Zhao Da's eyesight, he would not have noticed that there was someone in front of him only twenty steps away.

Zhao Da lay on the ground, turned his head and watched the brothers being shot one by one, his eyes were split!

But this was not the time to be angry, he pulled out the arrow on his leg, rolled his body a few times, and rolled into the small ditch on the side.

At this moment, the Xuzhou soldiers had already lit torches, pulled out the steel knives on their waists, and began to chase and kill the remaining bandits!

The bandits were stunned by this sudden blow, but they were bandits in the end, and they were even more fierce when they saw the blood, and after the Xuzhou sergeant was close, they shouted and fought with the Xuzhou army.

The number of soldiers in the Xuzhou army is large, and the number of bandits is small, but the martial arts are strong, and it is said that the fight should be indistinguishable. But this is not the case, Chen Lan and Lei Bo's plan to suppress bandits first and then difficult has shown results. These soldiers under them, who were originally Liu Xun, are no longer lamb-like soldiers after all kinds of battles. Although their skills are not as good as others, they do not retreat. Moreover, they seem to have specially trained a formation, in groups of three, one with a spear, one with a sword and shield, and the last one with a bow and arrow. In this way, a three-person team can besiege a bandit, and it can be attacked from near and far, and the effect is very obvious.

Zhao Da grabbed the steel knife and was about to rush up to fight, but when he saw the Xuzhou army with such a strong combat power, he immediately chose to give up! Staying in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, it is important to save your life! Besides, these bandits are just his tools, and they are his cannon fodder!

More than a dozen Xuzhou sergeants near the small bridge had already passed Zhao Da's position at this time, and they went back to chase and kill the bandits, leaving only a few people on the small bridge.

When Zhao Da saw it, he immediately flew up, danced the steel knife in his hand like a windmill, and rushed towards the small bridge.

When several soldiers saw this, they hurriedly fired their arrows, and those who raised their spears raised their guns.

Zhao Da knocked four feather arrows in a row, and he was only six or seven steps away from the Xuzhou sergeant. He flew and jumped up, four flying knives flew out, and immediately put down four soldiers, and then slashed down like a knife, and one soldier died on the spot, and then, after landing, he slashed horizontally with a steel knife, and another Xuzhou sergeant died.

In this way, the passage of the small bridge has been opened!

Attacking continuously, killing four archers, the remaining three people are no longer a big threat to him, and his leg injury has been broken because of these few full efforts, and the blood has flowed for a long time, Zhao Da is not in love with fighting, and directly ran to the bridge along the gap of a few soldiers, and disappeared into the night.

Several Xuzhou sergeants suffered this big loss, and were busy stabilizing the formation, but did not pursue. There is a companion across the bridge, so leave this person to your companion!

Zhao Da limped across the small bridge, and then ran dozens of battles, and the injury on his leg had already made him dizzy. In a blink of an eye, he saw a war horse not far in front of him, Zhao Da was excited and hurried over.

Seeing that he was about to reach the side of the war horse, three spears were stabbed in the oblique stab!

Zhao Da hurriedly dodged, and at the same time counterattacked, and slashed diagonally. But he didn't want to, he lost too much blood, he lacked strength, not only did he not knock the enemy's spear away, but the knife in his hand almost fell!

He immediately sent out the remaining two flying knives, put down the two Xuzhou soldiers, and then ran a few steps hard, his body suddenly pulled up, and fell on the horse's back impartially, and then, he cut off the horse's reins with his knife, lifted the horse's reins, and galloped away into the darkness.

The next day, Chen Lan and Lei Bo's war report was delivered to Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao opened it and saw that it was written: Successfully annihilated Scarface's bandits, annihilated 710 enemies, captured 81 enemies, and the bandit leader Scarface was nowhere to be found. The soldiers suffered 193 casualties and lost a horse!

Hao Zhao looked at the last sentence and didn't look away for a long time.

After a long time, he wrote a letter and called a junior colonel and asked him to send the letter to Liu Bei.
