Zhang Shibi didn't go crazy, but he suddenly saw that in front of the majestic Shanyue army, there were several leaders of the brotherhood, among which was riding a terrifying big boar, wearing a horned helmet and wearing wild armor, who was Xiao Tianlei? !

Looking at the other leaders of the Brotherhood, as well as the Shanyue army behind him, Zhang Shibi suddenly figured out many things in his mind, and finally realized a point that he had ignored before, there are several boys among the leaders of the Brotherhood who are Shanyue people, but they usually don't show the mountains and waters, and the main ones are Zheng Biao, Qin Jincai, Xiao Tianlei, Xiao Tianbao and others, but, think about it carefully, Xiao Tianlei among these people, his mother is a Shanyue person, and his grandfather is a witch doctor with a special status among the Shanyue people. Cousins are naturally Shanyue people, and many Shanyue thugs in the brotherhood, many Shanyue workers in the workshop and shop, originally thought that they were ransomed slaves, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, the brotherhood has been closely connected with Shanyue from the beginning, it can be said that behind the brotherhood is almost all Shanyue people, no wonder the brotherhood is so well-informed in Lingzhou!

Zhang Shibi understood at this time, it was too late, Xiao Tianlei and others led the Shanyue army, and they had already surrounded the garrisons of these counties, and the Shanyue army in Pingnanbo didn't have to think about it, the army of the imperial court must have encountered some obstacles and could not arrive.

Zhang Shibi guessed correctly, Ping Nanbo's army couldn't come, or it came, but it was on the side of the Brotherhood, and before Xiao Tianlei and the others came here, they had already experienced a battle, which was to deal with Ping Nanbo.

Ping Nanbo's ancestors relied on betraying Shanyue to obtain the title of Pingnan Bo, and his descendants were rich and noble, however, Ping Nanbo's status was a little embarrassing, and many people in the Great Xia court looked down on Ping Nanbo, thinking that Ping Nanbo was a barbarian, and most of the Shanyue people were extremely resentful of Ping Nanbo. Later, in order to consolidate his position, the successive generations of Ping Nanbo took various means to win over the Shanyue people, showed grace to the Shanyue people, and also released some rumors, saying that the first generation of Ping Nanbo was not a betrayal of Shanyue, and the reason why he took refuge in Daxia was because Shanyue was unable to fight against Daxia, so for the continuation of Shanyue, the first generation of Pingnanbo endured humiliation, which saved the lives of many Shanyue people.

The story is quite well written, it feels like such a thing, anyway, with the passage of time, there are no witnesses to the events of the year, and the original traitor has become a saint-like character in another way, however, history is written by the victors, and people can dress up, Xiao Tianlei didn't care about this kind of thing, the judgment of this matter is still for the witch doctors of Shanyue to do, the key to the matter is that Ping Nanbo obeyed the will of the imperial court and gathered his Shanyue army to deal with the brotherhood, and Ping Nanbo worked hard for generations. He has indeed become the leader of the Shanyue people on the surface, and has established a fierce Shanyue army, but Ping Nanbo has always kept a low profile and is not publicized.

To say that the Pingnanbo clan has been in business for many years, not only has it developed some strength, but it has also bred a large number of clansmen, and it has also learned from the great clan of Great Xia to study and practice martial arts, and there are also some outstanding characters.

If there is no brotherhood, wait for some more years, maybe Pingnan Bofu can really gradually eliminate hatred, relying on Shanyue people, developed into a major force in Lingzhou, others are difficult to shake, but unfortunately, the time is not long enough, many things of Shanyue people are passed down by the witch doctor, compared to a high-ranking uncle posture of Pingnanbo, Shanyue people also believe more in the witch doctor who heals them, educates children, and prays for blessings. The hatred for Ping Nanbo's line still exists, surging in the dark, originally, if there is no opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to vent out, but, with the development of Xiao Tianlei and the Shanyue people in Wild Boar Ridge, the changes brought by the Brotherhood to Lingzhou, Jiang Witch Doctor and other witch doctors will unite a part of the Shanyue people, and gradually win over more Shanyue people, the Shanyue army under Ping Nanbo is also Shanyue people, and there are also parents, relatives and children, through secret contact and kinship, after several years of gradual infiltration, in addition to some diehards, Most people are on the opposite side of the Binh Nam Bo Mansion.

Even so, to say that the Shanyue people know the most, the most sensitive to the changes of the Shanyue people, is still Pingnanbofu, if Pingnanbofu is aware of some abnormalities of Shanyue people, the situation is estimated to be very bad, so, in recent years, the brotherhood has not provoked the Pingnanbo family, and there is nothing to do in Pingnan County. However, that is only the superficial situation, and the secret infiltration has never stopped, especially taking advantage of the internal contradictions of the Ping Nanbo family to make a fuss.

In the past few years, this generation of Pingnanbo has become older, and several sons and a large family have fought openly and secretly for the title of Pingnanbo. Therefore, Jiang Witch Doctor and other Shanyue witch doctors specially made people add fuel to the fire, and the Pingnanbo family was even more lively and happy, so that they didn't have much energy to pay attention to the Shanyue people, and they didn't notice many changes in the Shanyue people.

It is also the inheritance of the title of the Pingnan Bo clan for a long enough time, so that they are accustomed to being high up, thinking that they have Daxia as a backer, and the Shanyue people can't afford to make waves, they can sit on the heads of all the Shanyue people with peace of mind and enjoy the blessings, and even feel that they should be the representatives of the Shanyue people, and even have the idea of unifying Shanyue.

In fact, for the development of the brotherhood, Ping Nanbo's family did not see it, but they also had a wait-and-see attitude, and even hoped that there would be some chaos, so they could take the opportunity to send troops to make meritorious contributions and show their sense of existence.

Regarding the sneaky thoughts of some people in Pingnanbo Mansion, Jiang Witch Doctor, Xiao Tianlei and others knew that they had long wanted to clean up the ill-intentioned group of people in the Brotherhood, but before they launched it, they continued to think that they had won the hearts of many Shanyue people, and they thought that the army in their hands was strong enough.

As a result, when the current Ping Nanbo brought some generals in the clan to gather the Shanyue army and prepare to set off to join Zhang Shibi, they faced the sudden collective rebellion of the Shanyue army, and the next thing was simple, Xiao Tianlei and others brought the Shanyue elite soldiers and Shanyue warriors from the wild boar ridge to appear, divided them by two, and cleaned up these people and some diehards, and the Ping Nanbo family also became prisoners, and the whole process took less than an hour.

After that, there was revenge and revenge, Xiao Tianlei and others couldn't manage it, and quickly reorganized the Shanyue army of Ping Nanbo, included it in control, and then led the troops to Lingzhou City. When they arrived near Lingzhou City, at the place prepared by the Brotherhood, let the soldiers rest and replenish their strength, and when it was dawn, the whole army set out to surround the garrisons of the counties gathered by Zhang Shibi.

"Whole army! Against! Fast...... Assemble the army! Zhang Shibi ran back in a little panic, shouting repeatedly.

No need for Zhang Shibi to shout, as the Shanyue army approached step by step, it has also alarmed those soldiers and generals from other counties, waiting for a night, many people are tired, most of them are asleep, and the awake people are also full of complaints, scolding, when the sound of the Shanyue army approaching, many people have woken up enough, when they see the Shanyue army advancing with the drum beat, almost uniform movements, for a while are a little stunned, I can't figure out the situation.

"You have been surrounded, and the rebels are dead! Put down your weapons and you can live! ”

Xiao Tianlei transmitted his voice to the sky above those soldiers with a strong spirit, and the voice rolled and echoed, and many soldiers who were still sleepy-eyed suddenly realized that they had been surrounded by others. Originally, most of these soldiers were not elite soldiers, and their discipline was average, but when they saw that the situation was not good, they ran around like headless flies, just running around, only to see that there were Shanyue troops on all sides, the swords and guns flashed with cold light, and the bows and crossbows had been wound.

Seeing this, Zhang Shibi was immediately angry, constantly urging and shouting, some generals tried to gather their subordinates and prepare for battle, but the surrounding Shanyue army had already been surrounded, and some round balls flew out from four directions, falling into the sky above the gathered soldiers, exploding violently, loud noises, flames, and thick smoke...... There weren't many people who fell, more of them, and they were so frightened that they cried and ran around and rushed to the formation.

Zhang Shibi sighed dejectedly, he was also flustered and scared at first, but it had reached the point where it couldn't be worse, his heart was also horizontal, he straightened his chest, took out the appearance of a court official, and asked solemnly: "Xiao Tianlei, the Holy Dynasty is prosperous, you dare to rebel?!" I really don't know whether to live or die! Now, the imperial army is coming, I advise you to wait or stop the precipice, don't mistake your own life and affect your family! ”

Xiao Tianlei was not frightened, and he knew that Zhang Shibi was bluffing, and Zhang Shibi was talking nonsense, the army was all put out, and he still reined in the precipice? ! It's enough to say such stupid things! Xiao Tianlei didn't bother to talk to Zhang Shibi, it was not interesting at all, and said boringly: "If you really don't have a common language, you can't say something practical...... Forget it, no nonsense, hurry up and surrender! ”

Zhang Shibi saw that Xiao Tianlei was unmoved, and he was determined to rebel, gritted his teeth, and said awe-inspiringly: "Delusional! As an official of the imperial court, he has received the emperor's favor, how can he surrender to you, a traitor, even if he dies, this official will not surrender! This official is upright, why not be afraid of sneaky and arrogant people like you, but you wait, you are looking for your own death, and the death of the clan is not far away, even after death, it will be stinking for 10,000 years, and thousands of people will spit on it......... Yes! ”

Zhang Shibi didn't finish his words, only heard him scream, Xiao Tianlei rode a steel mane and collided, knocked Zhang Shibi out of the air, pouted, and said disdainfully: "Give you a little color, you still dragged it!" Chirp crookedly, Lao Tzu didn't ask you alone! Even if you are willing to surrender, Lao Tzu is not rare for you to be an old thing! Repeat, death to the rebels! Drop your weapon and live! Many of you should know how our Brotherhood behaves! Word! Xiao Tianlei said aloud to the garrison again.

This is the disadvantage of civilian officials leading troops, it is too easy to be cleaned up, and it is extremely demoralizing, but those garrisons are still in a mess, and there is no morale at all. It's just that when I saw Zhang Shibi being cleaned up, there was no chief officer, and I suddenly had no idea, for many soldiers, they just followed the order to get here, and they didn't know what to do, and now, their minds are even more mushy.

The generals and officials who knew the inside story thought that they could take the opportunity to get some credit, but now it's good, they kept a hard night, the imperial army didn't wait, the credit was not expected, and they were given a round! The whole thing is a little inexplicable.

However, I can't make up my mind for a while whether to surrender or not, the brotherhood is a rebellion! Can the Brotherhood hold off the imperial army? Can it end well? It's just that the imperial army that was said to be coming before has no shadow, and it must be because of the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood has always done what it says, if you don't surrender, it's not worth losing your life!

Compared to the officers, those soldiers were simply short, some people threw away their weapons without much thought, others followed suit, in fact, among these people, there were also people from the Brotherhood, at this time, it played a good role.

There was a sound of weapons dropping, almost all the soldiers dropped their weapons, and those generals saw this, at this time, there were only some people left like themselves, how to fight?

A cadre of generals hesitated, but Xiao Tianlei was impatient, pulled out the north wind chain flail, urged the steel mane, rumbled towards those generals, and rushed to the front, those generals raised the weapons in their hands, Xiao Tianlei thought they were going to do it, but the result was ......

"I will surrender!"

"I will surrender too!"

……

Those generals threw the weapons in their hands quickly, like throwing a red-hot soldering iron, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and begged, Xiao Tianlei's north wind chain flail hanging in the air.

Teasing me this is! Xiao Tianlei originally wanted to make an example of the monkeys, but as a result, these guys surrendered so quickly that they had to give up.

It's no wonder that these generals are facing a heavy siege at this time, most of the soldiers have already surrendered, there is really no possibility of killing, and the Brotherhood also guarantees to stay alive. Besides, on the opposite side is Xiao Tianlei, it is rumored that it is a ruthless character who fights several first-class generals by himself, fight with him? I really don't want to live anymore! The wild boar alone is not something they can deal with, but because of the hesitation of concerns, the threat of life is approaching, they almost unanimously make the same choice, no one wants to die, right?

In this way, all the garrisons in Lingzhou surrendered, Xiao Tianlei waved his hand, and some Shanyue soldiers walked to the front, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Put down your weapons, take off your armor, line up in line, follow this road, walk out slowly, someone outside receives you, you must obey the command, don't run around, otherwise we don't blame us for being polite!" ”

Then, a group of disarmed soldiers slowly walked out of the encirclement, waiting outside were some members of the Brotherhood, who had only received orders early this morning, but with the high efficiency of the Brotherhood, they came quickly, but they were still surprised by what they had to do.

No matter how surprising they were, the scene was largely orderly when the members of the Brotherhood had been trained for a long time or had done what they had been told, and had quickly entered the state, receiving the soldiers who had surrendered, registering them, and taking them to breakfast.

As for the whereabouts of these garrisons after that, Xiao Tianlei had already thought about it, these garrisons were considered prisoners of war and could not be put back. Originally, the imperial court mainly relied on these garrisons to control Lingzhou, but now that they are all captured, the Brotherhood can be regarded as mastering Lingzhou, however, Xiao Tianlei knows very well that although Lingzhou has developed greatly in recent years, driven by the Brotherhood, the foundation is still weak. If you want to use the power of Lingzhou to fight against the Great Xia court, you must make use of everything that can be used, there are many projects after Lingzhou, which just need a lot of labor, you must know that the population of Lingzhou is not large.

The matter of receiving prisoners of war is on track, basically no need for Xiao Tianlei to worry about it, it is done by the various institutions of the Brotherhood, and what Xiao Tianlei has to do is to go to the meeting for a while, the army brought by the new general Zhennan this time, before, this army was still a huge threat, but now, with the implementation of Xiao Tianlei's plan, its threat has been greatly weakened, and it is not so urgent.

The trumpets and drums sounded again, and the Shanyue army turned, changed their ranks, lined up in a long line, and marched in the direction of Nanyue Mountain with rhythmic drum beats.

The military appearance of the Shanyue army looks quite mighty, and the morale is also high, if you want to talk about the real combat power, it is actually not very good, at least Xiao Tianlei seems to have a lot of shortcomings, after all, it can be regarded as a hasty army, and it is okay to fight a smooth battle. If you fight hard with the imperial army, I don't know how many people have died, fortunately, Xiao Tianlei never planned to fight hard, and it was not Xiao Tianlei's style to fight, and there was no need for that.

As early as the last time he fought Zong Zhengkui, the general of Zhennan, Xiao Tianlei discussed with a group of brothers and formulated a series of plans, which have been implemented for several months, and the specific effect, at least for now, all the plans are quite successful.

The Shanyue army stepped on the drum and slowly advanced, while walking, some Shanyue warriors from Wild Boar Ridge in the team taught other soldiers some precautions, Xiao Tianlei rode a steel mane and a few brothers, brought some cavalry, and walked first.

After galloping along the official road for most of the day, frightening many passers-by, Xiao Tianlei and his entourage arrived at the foot of Nanyue Mountain on the border of Lingzhou, which is an important road in and out of Lingzhou.

After entering the Nanyue Mountain, I walked for a mile or two, and arrived at a dangerous valley pass, which was originally unimpeded, but at this time I saw a closed city, like a dam, cutting off the road between the two mountains. It is generally a fortification that resembles a fortress structure, except that the entire fortress is grayish-white and unified, and only if you look closely, you can see some thin seams. The front wall is more than 20 meters high, very smooth, the top is protruding outward, and there is a row of steel spikes, which is difficult to climb, and the two sides of the gate are extended, sealing the road, and two fortresses have been built on the top of the hill on both sides.

Even if a castle is bizarre, there is nothing too surprising, but if it was built in a few days, it is surprising enough. That's right, this Guancheng was built in less than ten days, and Xiao Tianlei's idea from the beginning was to use some defensive measures to keep the imperial army out of Lingzhou.

With the amount of power he has in his hands, can he confront Great Xia head-on?

People are self-aware, Xiao Tianlei is very clear about the answer: no! Even if there are a lot of people under his command, but to say that the number of troops that can really fight is only that, even if it is an elite, it may be able to win a few victories, but if it is against Great Xia for a long time, against several times or even dozens of times the enemy, with the foundation of Lingzhou, there is only one way to perish.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Xiao Tianlei did not want to fight head-on directly, but although he couldn't win, the defense should always be fine.

Lingzhou is already mountainous, and the entry and exit mainly rely on a few key roads, as long as the Guancheng is built in these key roads, it can effectively block the army of the imperial court. Xiao Tianlei was not the first to come up with this strategy, as early as the Shanyue people fought against Daxia, they built a lot of passes, although they were later broken one by one for various reasons, but the problem was basically not in the defense of the city itself, relying on these passes, the Shanyue people resisted the Daxia army for many years, and also caused huge damage to the Daxia army.

After the Great Xia completely defeated the Shanyue people, most of these passes were demolished, and some of the remaining ones, after many years, were basically abandoned.

Generally speaking, it takes several months to build a Guancheng, and it takes several years for a large one, which consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but for Xiao Tianlei, it is not the same thing, he has mastered some technologies such as cement, has different construction thinking, and has a construction team with good action, and it takes far less time to establish a Guancheng.

After selecting a suitable location and completing the design of Sekijo, the cement components are manufactured one by one in advance, and then transported to the predetermined location and assembled.

The cement prefabricated parts are relatively heavy, however, with some machinery in the Wild Boar Ridge, as well as the help of Snow Ape Nunu and Wukong, their huge strength can be like stacking blocks, to build up the city, in addition, the project also uses martial artists to build, with gangqi, great strength, flexibility, and several times more efficient than ordinary people.

The only problem is how to keep it secret, so in the name of building roads, the Brotherhood will transport some components to the vicinity, and when it is appropriate, as usual, block the passage of some roads, and then, in a few days, complete the construction of the main project of Guancheng, which is definitely a miracle for people in this world, but for Xiao Tianlei, it is a matter of course.

However, having a fortress does not mean that it is foolproof, there is no fortress in the world that cannot be attacked, and it is not an easy task to defend the city, and the number of people responsible for defending the city is not large, and there is some pressure in the face of tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, after surrendering those garrisons, Xiao Tianlei immediately brought people to support, and when Xiao Tianlei and the others arrived in Guancheng, they heard the rumbling war drums from the other side of Guancheng. (To be continued.) )
