Chapter 45 Man dies for money, and birds die for food

This school field, which is very wide enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, was built in Liucheng and used by the generals in case of war.

In front of the school field, there is a high platform, called "Dianjiangtai".

At this time, on top of this "point general platform", there was a figure standing, this person was the lord of Liucheng, Liu Gongquan.

"Soldiers!"

Liu Gongquan's eyebrows were majestic, his expression was serious, his eyes swept around the entire school field, and he suddenly shouted loudly.

This voice instantly spread in all directions, resounding in everyone's ears, and could be heard clearly, showing his deep inner breath.

Boom!!

With a sound, all the soldiers suddenly shook their footsteps, and made a sonorous and powerful sound of stepping on the ground, neat and loud.

"The bandits of Hutou Mountain, flooded, in the land of my Liucheng, burned and looted everywhere, did all kinds of evil, committed unforgivable crimes, and it was difficult to write, and heaven did not tolerate it, and everyone was punished for it............"

One crime after another was enumerated from Liu Gongquan's mouth, and each of them had a living example, showing the brutality, cold-bloodedness, and inhumanity of the bandits in Hutou Mountain.

"Today, my Liucheng conforms to the will of the people, organizes an army of bandits to go to Hutou Mountain to exterminate bandits, is a righteous army, eliminates harm for the people, and deserves the help of all directions, the time, the place, the people, this battle will be won!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

..................

All the people roared wildly, and their voices soared into the sky, causing the air in the entire Liucheng to boil.

Knock knock knock!!

The sound of the drum suddenly sounded, and the vibration continued, and then, a man in gold armor turned over and got on his horse, and waved the spear in his hand: "Go!"

This golden-armored man, only about twenty years old, has an erect body, heroic and extraordinary, and is wearing a bright red robe behind him, majestic.

This person is the eldest son of Liu Gongquan, called "Liu Shu", a master of the ninefold realm of the day after tomorrow, and the commander of this army of bandits.

This crackdown on bandits is completely under the full control of "Liu Shu".

The army marched out, followed closely behind Liu Shu, and marched towards the official road outside Liucheng.

After twenty miles of military march, the original flat official road was gone, replaced by a rugged mountain road.

Hutou Mountain, located in the northeast of Liucheng fifty miles away, because the shape of the mountain is very similar to the head of the tiger, so it is named "Hutou Mountain".

The speed of the army was extremely fast, and soon, the army marched again twenty miles, and there was still a distance of ten miles, and it reached Hutou Mountain.

At this moment, the army suddenly stopped, and a "herald" galloped over on horseback and said loudly: "The commander has an order, camp on the spot, bury the pot and cook!"

Suddenly, the entire army of bandits rose with curling smoke.

"People are iron, rice is steel", even if it is a bandit, you have to fill your stomach and then say, otherwise where will the strength come from?

Marching and fighting is also a huge science, and the so-called "soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first", although this is only to suppress bandits, but it cannot be underestimated.

Soon, the meal was served hot, with wine and meat, and it was full and quite hearty.

From this point, it can be seen that Liucheng's determination to deal with this crackdown on bandits has come.

Of course, that wine was not a strong wine, but a "gallant wine" that was used to strengthen courage.

The so-called "wine strengthens people's courage, and food increases the popularity of the poor", whether it is marching and fighting, or suppressing bandits and killing the enemy, it is to shed blood, to die, see blood, see corpses, who is not afraid?

In the face of death, who doesn't want to steal their lives and survive?

Therefore, generally before marching and fighting, you have to drink "gallant wine", and if you are bold, you dare to do what you usually dare not do, and you will kill people, and you will be extremely brave.

After a full meal and drink, the sun was setting, and the army set out again.

The mountain road ahead is getting narrower and more rugged, but fortunately, there are soldiers from Liucheng in front of the road, and the road is unimpeded.

Finally, after walking ten miles, the army came to Hutou Mountain.

"Hmm, these people are ............" Suddenly, Zhao Zhen's eyes froze, and he immediately saw that at the foot of Hutou Mountain, there were already dozens of soldiers waiting.

These soldiers, covered in blood and some of them with wounds, seemed to have just gone through a major battle.

There is no doubt that these soldiers are the "scout vanguard", responsible for opening the way in front and sweeping away the eyeliner and strongholds of Hutou Mountain, and casualties are inevitable.

The Liu family has been preparing to suppress bandits since a long time ago, and the momentum is huge, and the bandits in Hutou Mountain are not fools, how can they sit and wait for death?

The reason why the three masters Huang Zhong appeared in Liucheng was to spy on the news, and then create some chaos in Liucheng, so as to interrupt the Liu family's plan to suppress bandits.

It's a pity, "people are not as good as heaven", Huang Zhong was betrayed by his subordinates, exposed his whereabouts, just arrived in Liucheng, and before he could do anything, he was surrounded and killed by the head of Yan Guang with his troops, and he was seriously injured, and finally died in the hands of Zhao Zhen.

Now, the army of bandits is coming to suppress the bandits, and it is impossible for Hutou Mountain not to know the news, of course, it will send people out to monitor the situation of the bandit army, and occupy a favorable terrain to ambush the bandit army on the road.

The duty of the "Scout Pioneer Army" is to sweep away these eyeliners and dangers, so that the army of bandits can reach Hutou Mountain safely.

Zhao Zhen was born poor and had no experience in marching and fighting, but he also vaguely guessed what those people had just done.

"This is Hutou Mountain?" Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze and looked at Hutou Mountain in front of him.

Not only him, but all the people also looked at Hutou Mountain.

This mountain peak, the shape is indeed very similar to the head of a tiger, with open teeth and cracked mouth, it looks very vicious, and it is surrounded by cliffs, abrupt rocks, strange rocks, showing the beauty of nature.

"One husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", there is only one road up the mountain in Hutou Mountain, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Sure enough, it is not so easy to exterminate Hutou Mountain. Zhao Zhenxin sank slightly, and thought secretly.

Many people's faces also showed solemn expressions.

At this moment, a "herald" came quickly and said to those people in the rivers and lakes: "The commander has an order, tell you to attack Hutou Mountain immediately!"

"What? Attack Hutou Mountain?" Among the people in the rivers and lakes, a man in cloth exclaimed: "This Hutou Mountain is so sinister, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is impossible to rush up at all, and forcibly attacking will only send you to death in vain." ”

"Yes, we will quit and give you back the money. ”

"We're going to quit. ”

............

The other men, too, saw the ferocity in it, and immediately became timid and shouted to quit.

Puff puff puff

Suddenly, the cold light flashed, and before anyone could react, the voices of the shouting people stopped at once, a knife mark appeared on the neck, and blood gushed like a spring, and then the body fell straight down, and died instantly.

"When you joined the army of bandits, you have already made it clear, and if you want to quit now, you will disturb the morale of the army, and those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed!"

The loud shouts sounded, and a figure appeared in everyone's eyes.

This person, Zhao Zhen knows, is actually Yan Guang, the head of Liucheng!

At this time, he was holding a big knife in his hand, and the big knife was extremely sharp, killing several people at once, and the blade was actually not stained with blood.

Many people originally wanted to quit, but they were immediately shocked by Yan Guang's killing power, trembling, and didn't dare to say another word, so they could only obediently step forward and prepare to attack Hutou Mountain.

"The day after tomorrow is sevenfold, the realm of blood training!"

Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed, and he immediately saw that Yan Guang at this time was several times more powerful than when he besieged Huang Zhong in Liucheng, his blood was vigorous, and his martial arts were powerful, which should not be underestimated.

He immediately knew that Yan Guang had broken through to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, reached the level of blood training, and his blood qi had turned into essence!

Those people in the rivers and lakes, not everyone is timid, and only a small part of those who are afraid will want to quit because they have no confidence in their own strength.

Many of them are full of confidence, and their eyes show a blazing light, because as long as they are the first to rush into the cottage of Hutou Mountain, they can take the first step and seize a lot of valuable treasures.

This is the real reason why they risked their lives to join the army of bandits.

Knock knock knock!!

The drums of war sounded, the horn of the attack sounded, and the suppression of bandits began.

"Kill!"

"Kill into Hutou Mountain, gold and silver treasures, glory and wealth, just around the corner!"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

Those people in the rivers and lakes immediately roared and rushed towards Hutou Mountain.

"Up!"

The commander Liu Shu also gave the order to attack.

Suddenly, the guards of the Skylark Tower, as well as the soldiers of Liucheng, followed closely behind those people in the rivers and lakes and began an all-out attack on Hutou Mountain.

Soon, those people from the rivers and lakes rushed to the halfway up the mountain, and the cottage of Hutou Mountain was close at hand.

Coo-goo-goo............

Suddenly, the sound of shaking the mountain was transmitted, and then, in the eyes of everyone, countless boulders, like a flood, rolled down from the mountain.

"It's not good, get out of the way!"

Liu Shu's face changed, he raised his throat, and hurriedly shouted.

Yes......

However, there were too many boulders, and they rolled down densely, and there was nowhere to dodge, and many people were hit by the boulders, their heads were broken and bleeding, and their bodies were dead on the spot.

The first to bear the brunt, of course, are those people in the rivers and lakes.

All of a sudden, wailing was all over the field.

"People die for money, birds die for food", from the moment they decided to join the army of bandits, they were doomed to the fate of cannon fodder, this is the cruelty of reality and the cruelty of war.

The ruthless boulder, this time, I don't know how many lives have been taken, those people in the rivers and lakes, very few can survive, only those few masters, quick response, dodge in time, did not be hit.

The soldiers of Liucheng, as well as the guards of the Skylark Tower, also suffered a lot of casualties.

Zhao Zhen's body flashed left and right on the ground, dangerous and dangerous, dodging the impact of the boulders, and he was also extremely frightened.
