But when he first arrived at Huotou Cottage, Zhao Ming, who was very knowledgeable, was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

He had a preliminary idea of the bandit's ability in his heart since Zhonghui's unsuccessful attack on the village, but when he really witnessed this fire-headed cottage with his own eyes, he realized that his idea was too simple.

He could now understand why the bell had been beaten back in disgrace, and had told him to be so careful. This cottage, both sides are cliffs, the middle of the wall with stone and wood high, two wide gates, just looking, it gives people a solid feeling, this is a cottage, it is simply a fortress.

Standing in front of Huotou Village on horseback, looking at the thieves with high morale, Zhao Ming felt a nameless fire in his heart.

However, he is not Zhang Dabiao, his mind calmed down in an instant, he knows what his task is, he doesn't have to do those meaningless things, which is why Zhong will let him carry out this mission.

Zhao Ming, who calmed down, began to order the soldiers to divide into two teams, each team was divided into five hundred people, and they took turns to rush up to attack the village.

He asked the soldiers to carry the ladder only in front of the wall, and then changed to the cover of the archers, and then let the other team start to attack the city, and so on, and so on, and the two teams took turns to attack the city with 500 men.

Zhao Ming's approach not only made the bandits on guard all the time, but also avoided a large number of casualties when the soldiers climbed the wall. Of course, on the way to attack the village, it is inevitable that a few unlucky eggs will be hit by arrows, and these people can only be brought back by the soldiers when they retreat.

If Zhao Ming did this, the thieves of Huotou Mountain would be miserable. Especially Sun Laohu, he was under the wall, and he kept hearing people coming over to say that the officers and soldiers were attacking the village. He thought that the officers and soldiers had begun a large-scale attack on the wall, so frightened that he hurriedly ran up the wall, and found that this group of officers and soldiers had receded like a tide.

When he breathed a sigh of relief, another group of officers and soldiers rushed up. And, every now and then, a few arrows come at you. To toss this Sun Tiger is to complain.

In this way, in the morning, Zhao Ming's army launched twenty-seven attacks on the bandits.

This is also mixed with several real attacks on the wall, repeatedly attacking the wall, scared Sun Laohu is frightened, fortunately, there are many bandits, relying on his support everywhere, barely defended. However, in order to block Zhao Ming's attack, he was also hit by an arrow in his left hand.

Seeing that the sun was past noon, Zhao Ming said to the generals beside him: "Pass the order, withdraw the troops, and return to the camp." ”

The general beside him replied, "Yes." ”

Sun Laohu was on the wall of the wall, looking at the soldiers who were about to attack the village, and retreated in an uproar. He collapsed against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over. ”

However, the nightmare is far from over.

After Zhao Ming returned to the camp, Zhong Hui asked him to take another 5,000 soldiers to attack the village and take turns to attack and harass. First, it trains the courage of the soldiers, and secondly, it also makes the bandits tired.

In this way, Zhao Ming, in accordance with Zhong Hui's order, launched a harassing attack on Huotou Village for three consecutive days.

The thieves in Huotou Mountain are all rough people, and they don't know any scheming or art of war.

In the past three days, the bandits have become accustomed to the incessant attack and retreat of the officers and men, and even if there are occasionally one or two actual attacks, they are nothing more than adding more manpower, and they basically relax their vigilance.

Sun Laohu is a fierce man, and on the second day, he led people to rush out of the village, wanting to bend the prestige of this group of officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dabiao had already been waiting outside the village, and the soldiers, this Zhao Ming was not a vegetarian, so he set up a basket array, which made the bandits suffer a big loss, drove the group of bandits back, and even almost captured the gate of the village during the counterattack.

If Wu Mang hadn't heard Sun Laohu rush out and brought someone over in time, this gate would have been broken. Afterwards, Sun Laohu was also taught a hard lesson by Wu Mang because of this incident.

Speaking of Wu Mang, he was sitting in the treasure hall at the moment, and there were several leaders of Huotou Mountain in the hall, and everyone had been annoyed by the attacks of the officers and soldiers in the past few days.

"Damn, this group of people, they can't attack it, and they can't retreat well. It's fucking up to let me sleep unsettlingly, fuck. As soon as he thought of the actions of the officers and soldiers, Wu Mang scolded angrily.

At this time, Liu Er next to him saw it and hugged him with a smile.

"Don't be angry. After watching the actions of the officers and soldiers in the past few days, I feel that this group of officers and soldiers is about to retire. ”

As soon as Wu Mang heard Liu Er's words, he turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Oh, how did you kid know?"

Liu Er pretended to be profound: "Big boss, haven't you noticed that this group of officers and soldiers is very fake? In my opinion, this group of officers and soldiers will not be able to attack our village, but they are embarrassed to make a difference, so they will make a show." However, if they do not attack the village on the spot, I think they are afraid that the casualties will be too large, and it is difficult to explain. The small estimate is that tomorrow will be the time for the officers and soldiers to retire. ”

After listening to this, Wu Mang thought for a while and laughed.

"Well, you kid, you make a point. Yes, hahahaha, come, I'll give you a pot of wine. Wu Mang smiled and threw Liu Er a pot of wine.

Liu Er took it with a smile and drank it to himself.

This Liu Er, since Wu Mang became the big boss of Huotou Mountain, he followed the rising tide and became the head of the warehouse.

Since taking over Liu Han's warehouse, he has been walking with a lot of energy, and from time to time he gets some good things from the warehouse. The few small leaders who were with him also had a good time.

However, it angered several other bandit leaders.

This den of thieves is not afraid of who is worse than whom, I am afraid that you will live better than me.

However, this Liu Er is deeply liked by Wu Mang, and the other leaders, although they hate it, there is no way to do it.

Just when everyone was glad that the officers and soldiers were about to retreat, and they were ready to arrange a big feast.

From the hilltop dam of Huotou Mountain, there was a burst of shouts and screams.

When Wu Mang heard the voice, he immediately sat up in shock.

At this time, a thief covered in blood ran in from outside the hall, and hurriedly said: "Big, big boss, suddenly a large number of officers and soldiers appeared on the dam. The brothers did not have time to react and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Wu Mang hurriedly ran up, grabbed the man and asked, "Damn, how did this group of officers and soldiers come up?"

The man was already dying, and when Wu Mang caught him like this, he immediately burped.

Wu Mang threw the person aside, took his ghost-headed machete, and went straight to the dam, and the leader behind him also hurriedly rushed out.

At this moment, the dam of Huotou Mountain is full of corpses and broken arms.

Officers and soldiers and bandits fought together on the entire dam.

This time, it was Zhong Hui who personally led more than 3,000 people to rush to the top of the mountain dam.

After two days of careful exploration by Zhong Yu and Hei Da, the situation on the Huotou Mountain Road had already been clearly explored.
