The topography of the western wilderness is very simple, a typical temperate plain, the highest peak, Sentinel Ridge, with a vertical height of about 200 meters...... It is about a marathon away from the town of Yuexi, with cliffs on three sides, and the lord's mansion is built on the top of the mountain.

After the militia marched for two hours, the hill could be seen in front of them, but the pursuers were nowhere to be seen. It wasn't that Jameel and the others gave up the pursuit, but because his men couldn't run, and although they called themselves "revenge troops", they were in fact just ruffians and hooligans, and their physical fitness was too far inferior to that of the farmers.

By this time, several generals of the militia finally saw some clues, and after this rapid march, the pursuers were left far behind, winning at least an hour for the militia troops. For war, this hour is extremely precious, and if it is used well, it is entirely possible to change the tide of the war.

"My lord, that's my home." The militia running in front of Cheng Xiaotian pointed to a private house and said, after saying that, a woman walked out of the house, and he hurriedly shouted: "Shirley, run, there is going to be a war here!"

"Don't let them run around, let them follow the big army." Cheng Xiaotian hurriedly stopped him, and after speaking, he remembered one thing again, and shouted: "Bring a shovel and hoe."

Bring the old and weak women and children to fight? This is unheard of, and isn't it just an increase in casualties? However, out of absolute trust in Cheng Xiaotian, everyone didn't say much, and began to run all the way to gather family members, and by the time they ran to the bottom of Sentinel Ridge, the team had gathered more than 2,000 people.

At the foot of the mountain, before the only crossing of the mountain, Cheng Xiaotian gathered the troops and held a pre-war mobilization meeting, he said this:

"Wait until everyone works hard, work hard, and be sure to finish it before the enemy moves. Don't worry, it won't be in vain, your lord will pay you, right? Count Fimi. Cheng Xiaotian turned to Tang Jia Feimi and asked.

Under the expectant gaze of the residents, Count Fimi, who led the whole family who had just come down the mountain, agreed without hesitation, and promised that whoever did hard work would be rewarded! However, there is one more problem......

"Your Excellency, can you really do it alone?" Count Feimi leaned around Cheng Xiaotian and asked worriedly.

Cheng Xiaotian didn't care, "I will fly, and it will be good to slip away when the time comes." ”

Tang Jia Fimi: "......"

Cheng Xiaotian saw that the earl's face was a little not good-looking, so he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "I'm joking, don't worry, there will be no problem at all."

Count Feimi stared at Cheng Xiaotian suspiciously, and after a while, he finally grabbed Cheng Xiaotian's hand and said with deep affection: "Please leave it to your lord here."

"Let's go, let's go." Cheng Xiaotian waved his hand indifferently, Count Feimi took a step back, stroked his chest, and turned to leave.

Not only him, but all the militia, including the old and weak women and children who had gathered, all left with pickaxes and shovels, and they, led by Count Fimi and Toruń, divided into two groups and began to retreat along the foot of Sentinel Ridge. After 20 minutes, everyone left, and Cheng Xiaotian was the only one left at the intersection of the mountain.

Seeing that everything was in order, Cheng Xiaotian sat down on the steps up the mountain, meditated cross-legged and breathed, and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.

Sentinel Ridge is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, only the north slope is relatively gentle, full of trees, the environment is quiet, and a step leads straight to the top of the mountain, hidden in the dense green shade. Ordinary cultivators pay attention to tranquility and tranquility, and like to escape from the world, but Cheng Xiaotian prefers places full of fireworks in the world, such as the Western Wilderness, but unfortunately it is not peaceful here now.

Waiting for someone is a very boring thing, not to mention that the other party is still a long time late, Cheng Xiaotian waited for an hour and a half, and only then did a large number of bandits appear. It seems that these guys are even worse than they predicted.

Finally looking forward to the enemy, Cheng Xiaotian got up and began to go up the mountain, throwing things on the ground as he walked. These are all collected from the villagers, there is a mess of everything, Cheng Xiaotian is surprised while throwing it, this is all a miracle......

Copper slots, hairpins, handkerchiefs, and open-minded rice bowls, these are all normal, and after pulling out a strip of cloth from the Qiankun bag, Cheng Xiaotian was completely confused. The object is in the shape of a long strip with a cloth rope tied at both ends and a small pocket sewn in the middle, which seems to be used to hold objects such as straw gray cloth heads.

"I don't understand." After studying for a long time, Cheng Xiaotian shook his head and gave up, and casually threw the strip of cloth in the middle of the steps.

At this time, Jamil finally led the tired Defia bandits to the foot of the mountain.

"Chief, we need to rest, or we won't be able to fight." Simon sat down on the steps, threw the knife in his hand and pleaded. The others immediately echoed and fell to the ground, lying on the ground.

Jamil's face was already very ugly, these people were all lightly armed, and they only marched forty kilometers slowly, and they actually lay down, how should such a group of people fight? Fortunately, this time the opponent is an honest militiaman, otherwise he can only pick his son and leave.

The so-called law does not blame the public, everyone, including his brother-in-law, has fallen down, this order to attack immediately is really impossible, he has to sit on the steps and close his eyes to recuperate, and wait for his subordinates to recover their strength.

After sitting for a while, a bandit soldier crawled past Jameel, and behaved a little sneaky, but he didn't take it to heart, anyway, his subordinates were so virtuous, and it was impossible to expect them not to be sneaky.

After a while, another person sneaked over, and this time he still didn't care, but his brother-in-law Simon kept an eye on it and looked over.

"What do you have in your hands?" Simon broke off, stepped over with an arrow, and scolded before he could stand still: "It's you, still hiding?" You're still hiding in your arms! ”

"Second Leader, this is what I picked up, mine!" The bandit grabbed his pocket and shouted aggrievedly, deliberately aggravating the word "mine". That means obviously, whoever picks it up belongs to whom, even if you are the second leader, you can't rob your subordinates!

"I know, don't I just take a look, you take it out!" Simon broke his subordinates' hands, took out the thing and threw it away in his tearless gaze, and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a rotten copper slot, look at your baby."

After speaking, Simon casually put the "rotten copper slot" into his pocket, looked up at the steps, and a shiny object came into view. In the daytime, as long as the eyes are not blind, anyone can recognize it, it turned out to be a silver horn! The three of them found it at the same time, started it at the same time, and pounced on it with the spirit of a 100-meter sprint.

The bandits are all monkey spirits, how can the three of them not be noticed? As soon as they jumped up the stairs, a large number of bandits who noticed the anomaly followed. The next situation was logical, everyone pulled around, lightly bypassed the leader, and by the time Jamil noticed, he had already gone up more than halfway.

"Who told you to go up?" When Jamil noticed it, he grabbed one of his subordinates and asked.

The skinny monkey-like bandit replied, "The second leader brought everyone up, saying that it was ...... A large number of traces of enemy troops were found. ”

"Reckless!" Jamil snorted angrily, and said in his heart, why are you so unsuccessful? If you want to go up, let these guys be cannon fodder, you will take the lead, in case there are three long and two short, how can I explain to your sister?!

"Let's go, attack them all, and take down Tang Jia and Feimi in one go, as long as the dead don't live!" Jameel beckoned, leading the rest of the bandits to rush forward.

Not far above, after a group of bandits found the strip of cloth, their emotions finally boiled to the peak.

"There's a woman up there!" Simon carried the strip of cloth and smiled wickedly.

At this moment, there was a "rumbling" vibration on the steps, and it seemed that a heavy object rolled down, and the bandits immediately drew their blades to guard against it.

Tom tom!

The mountains shook, the bandits looked at each other, what could be such a big movement? The next moment, the answer was revealed.

"It's a stone, get out of the way!" Simon clung to his neck and shouted, and panicked into the woods by the steps, and the other bandits did not look closely, and looked up nervously in the woods.

I saw a large stone weighing hundreds of pounds, bumping and rolling down the steps, smashing the stone chips of the steps and flying wildly. (To be continued.) )
