Just after the leader informed Ye Zheng of the news of the attack on the officers and soldiers, it happened that Deng Sanniang also happened to come to their side, and when they heard this, their faces changed in unison.

At that moment, Deng Sanniang turned around and returned to her residence with a solemn face and took out the silver gun.

At this time, Ye Zheng looked at the leader who reported the news, and ordered in a deep voice: "You immediately pass on this news to everyone in the valley now, so that everyone is ready to prepare for war, and I will go to the Zhaimen immediately!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

As soon as the leader got the order, he went about it as quickly as he could.

As soon as the leader left, Ye Zheng immediately went straight to the gate of the cottage with Deng Sanniang.

Along the way, you can see a lot of mountain bandits who are resting in the village, and they take out weapons and equipment to rush out of the house with panicked expressions, and under the leadership of their respective leaders, they quickly rush towards the gate of the cottage.

At this moment, the entire Qunying Village was in an extremely tense atmosphere, because everyone knew that if the cottage was not defended today, and those fierce regular troops were allowed to invade, then the next consequences would be unimaginable, because they had already heard the murderous name of the bandit general Ge Rentu.

This time, before the imperial court suppressed the bandit army out of the city, Ge Rentu had released a fierce word before leaving the army: this trip will break through the Black Dragon Valley and kill the scum of the bandits, otherwise, he will never return to the city!

When Ye Zheng ran to the mouth of the valley with a nervous expression, from a distance, he saw that up and down the gate of the cottage, the personnel kept running and giving orders, all of them were under the orders of the Xiahou Village Lord and Liu Chengfeng and other leaders, carrying out tense and rapid defense preparations, ready to meet the bandit army at any time.

In the watchtower, bundles of arrows, bows and crossbows, like flowing water, were distributed to various important defensive posts in the walled gate and watchtower, and the members of the Fire God Hall wiped the guns and ammunition in their hands at this time, and the magazines were all ready.

At this time, the mountain bandits saw that the leader of the alliance, Ye Zheng, personally came to Linzhai Gate to guard the town, and suddenly, they all saluted him respectfully.

"Alliance Leader! Alliance Leader......"

Seeing this, Ye Zheng frowned, waved his hand and said: "Now is an extraordinary moment, the current urgency is how to hold on to the cottage, there is no need for those polite and false manners like usual, you can do whatever you want, don't pay attention to us!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

When everyone heard this, they left one after another and went about their own business.

At this time, the owner of Xiahou Village came to Ye Zheng when he heard the news, and said respectfully: "Alliance leader, you are here!"

Ye Zheng had a calm face, glanced at him coldly, and said: "How could the officers and soldiers suddenly kill the Black Dragon Ridge? Why didn't we notice any movement before, and the scouts and falcons sent out by your mountain patrol hall were all sleeping? I didn't know until I was killed by the officers and soldiers at the door of my house, what a bastard!"

The lord of Xiahou Village was reprimanded by him for such a while, and suddenly, his black face turned red, and he said with shame: "Alliance leader, this time the officers and soldiers are fierce, and they have been premeditated, like those probe horses and falcons that we sent before, until now there has been no news coming, presumably they have been poisoned by those officers and soldiers." ”

When Ye Zheng heard this, his body was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "Did the officers and soldiers all appear from behind the mountain?"

The lord of Xiahou Village nodded solemnly and said: "The alliance leader guessed correctly, the officers and soldiers who came from this surprise attack are the five thousand elite regular troops sent by Nage Rentu to secretly send from the Hengjiang River!"

Ye Zheng took a deep breath and asked again, "Where have they all arrived at the Black Dragon Ridge now?"

The lord of Xiahou Village shook his head and said: "When they first appeared in the Black Dragon Pond, they were discovered by their exploration horses, and they should be rushing towards the Black Dragon Valley at this time, but they seem to be all dressed as infantry, and there are very few horses, and when they reach the Black Dragon Valley, there should be half an hour!"

Ye Zheng heard that it would take half an hour for the officers and soldiers to kill the Black Dragon Valley, so he was a little settled in his heart at the moment, muttered for a moment, and ordered decisively: "Xiahou Village Master, you now hurry up and release the arrows, and order all the horses and mountain patrols outside to return to the village to help defend themselves, otherwise with their meager strength, sooner or later they will be killed by the officers and soldiers!" After all, in terms of the strength of individual soldiers, everyone is a regular army, and the strength is at least above the first-class samurai, our Tanma is definitely not the opponent of others, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, anyway, since the officers and soldiers have already arrived in the Black Dragon Ridge, it is useless to send Tanma to patrol the mountain, the top priority is how to defend the security of the cottage!"

Hearing Ye Zheng's order, the Xiahou Zhai Lord didn't think about it and said: "Obey the order, Alliance Leader......!

After the owner of Xiahou Village went down, he immediately arranged for the mountain bandits to light the signal arrow.

Shout!

An arrow carrying a flaming red flame tail shot into the night sky like a cupola, and exploded with a bang, and suddenly, those patrol horses outside the Black Dragon Ridge quickly rode their horses back to the cottage after seeing them.

At this time, Ye Zheng, with the support of Liu Chengfeng and some other cottage leaders, climbed to the top of the canyon along the two sides of the watchtower, secretly dug the passage.

Standing at the highest place, he took out his high-precision scope and looked out of the canyon, hoping to spot the traces of the officers and soldiers, but because of the darkness of the night, he could not see anything at all.

At the same time, he secretly wondered in his heart how the night was so dark tonight, and how they would march to the five thousand regular troops if they did not carry torches. When he told Deng Sanniang, who was standing beside him, to tell him this question, Deng Sanniang explained it to him.

After listening to her patient explanation, Ye Zheng suddenly realized, it turned out that the regular armies of those state cities were all at least first-class warriors or above, so their general night vision ability was still relatively strong, plus the perennial battlefield, long-term night battles, and there were leaders with higher strength to lead the way, so under normal circumstances, even if they didn't need torches, they could march quickly and accurately.

Hearing this, Ye Zheng suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and secretly said, even if the officers and soldiers did not come to the Black Dragon Valley at this moment, it was estimated that they would not be far from the canyon.

Sure enough, after a while, a hidden stake lurking at the mouth of the canyon issued an arrow warning, telling the officers and soldiers of the surprise attack that they had been killed outside the canyon.

Seeing this, the leaders of the mountain bandits supported Ye Zheng to go down to the top of the mountain and retreated to the watchtower of the walled gate on the grounds of ensuring the safety of the alliance leader.

At this time, at the only entrance of the Black Dragon Valley, the narrow canyon, Ge Rentu had led his five thousand elites to quietly come outside the canyon, in the dark night, five thousand elite elite regular troops, all of them looked at Ge Rentu murderously, just waiting for him to give an order, they were ready to attack the Black Dragon Valley with absolute strength, in one fell swoop, crushing this group of bandits is known as an insurmountable and dangerous place.

Ge Rentu is a fair-skinned, delicate-looking middle-aged man, wearing a set of Flying Leopard General armor, if you take off a military uniform, ordinary people will mistakenly think that he is a gentle and elegant bachelor, however, although this Ge Rentu looks handsome on the outside, but his style of action is unusually ruthless, which makes the opponent tremble.

At this moment, Ge Rentu stood outside the canyon, looking at the curved and deep canyon in front of him, a cold smile flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and gently pointed to the entrance of the canyon, his face flashed with a trace of imperceptible bloodthirstyness, and said lightly: "Bring them up!"

"Yes, Lord Totong!"

At this time, a respectful lieutenant immediately went down to carry out the order after hearing Ge Rentu's order.

After a while, there was a group of regular soldiers like wolves and tigers, escorting more than 100 mountain bandits to the mouth of the canyon valley, only to see that those mountain bandits were all covered in wounds, and their whole bodies were covered with blood, and their expressions were all sluggish, and I think that they had been tortured and tortured by these officers and soldiers during this time.

At this time, a hidden stake lurking outside the canyon saw this scene, and his face turned pale with shock!

It turned out that the more than 100 mountain bandits who were escorted up by the officers and soldiers were all sent out by the lord of Xiahou Village to patrol the mountains and explore the horses, but at this moment, they were all captured by the killing god Ge Rentu!

At that moment, the dark stake hurriedly took out a ringing arrow, ready to tell the leaders of the valley the shocking news, but when he just took out the ringing arrow, the sound of his clothes rubbing against him attracted the attention of Ge Rentu.

At this time, Ge Rentu had a murderous aura in his eyes, suddenly turned around like a whirlwind, pulled out the spear of a soldier standing beside him, and with a shake of his arm, the spear was like a sharp sword, shooting like lightning towards the hidden pile hidden dozens of feet away.

Suddenly, before the dark stake could release the arrow in his hand, he was nailed to death on the spot by the spear through his chest!
