Chapter 22: The Siege

Xiaolongshan, in the gathering hall, Daniel Zhang sat on the main seat with a blue face.

Outside the door, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the bodies of everyone in the hall, stretching the shadows for a long time.

"Big brother, I found out, I pretended to be a merchant and went down the mountain in person, and I heard those untouchables talking about it......" Before a yellow scarf in charge of finding out the news finished speaking, Daniel Zhang impatiently slapped the table, got up from the chair, and glared at him: "Who wants to listen to you who you have or not, Lao Tzu wants the murderer!" ”

The yellow scarf was so frightened by his yelling that his legs trembled, swallowed and said, "That...... The untouchables all said that it was done by the new Gaoxiang Youyou......"

"Wandering in the countryside?" Daniel Zhang was murderous, "This guy dares to kill a certain brother, he is too deceitful, and he will definitely catch him on the mountain, break his hands and feet, torture him for three or five days, and then chop it up and feed it to the dog." ”

"What's that guy's name?" Daniel Zhang easily suppressed his anger and asked.

"It seems to be surnamed Gao, by the way, the last time the sage and the eldest brother took their brothers to attack Liujiazhuang in Gaoxiang Pavilion at night, it was also a big deal for this guy to break the sage!" As soon as the yellow turban who inquired about the news finished speaking, he saw Daniel Zhang grabbing his clothes like thunder.

"Zhang Xiong, what did you say?" On the back of Daniel Zhang's hand, there were already blue tendons, obviously extremely angry.

"Big brother, my words are true, it has been spread all over the country, it turns out that that night he actually said that he moved Deng Hu of Xixiang Fanyang Pavilion to help, and made the agitated general law provoke Pang Hai in Gaoxiang, and finally ruined the great event of the virtuous teacher."

"Just yesterday, the county has issued a document, saying that Deng Hu has made meritorious service and has been promoted to Gao Township as a husband, and the boy surnamed Gao has also been promoted to You. Then the man surnamed Gao went up the mountain overnight and killed the second leader and a group of brothers. ”

Zhang Xiongzhu poured the news he heard like beans.

In the gathering hall, one by one suddenly became excited, screaming and scolding, and shouted that they would immediately go down the mountain to Gaoxiang to avenge the dead second leader and others.

"Wow, stepping on Lao Tzu's head to become an official and make a fortune." Daniel Zhang clenched his fists and gurgled, "This guy must be counting the reward while drinking and having fun, hehe, Lao Tzu will go to Gaoxiang to send him on his way now!" With that, he grabbed his weapon and walked out.

"Big brother, no." Zhang Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"You dare to stand in my way? I don't care about you! Daniel Zhang was furious and pushed Zhang Xiong out of the door.

Zhang Xiong hurriedly shouted: "Big brother, listen to me, that guy is not in Gaoxiang Pavilion." I inquired that the people of Fanyang Pavilion celebrated his and Deng Hu's promotion, held a banquet in Fanyang Pavilion, and asked someone to get more than a dozen catties of cooked beef from the county. ”

In the Han Dynasty, cattle were an extremely scarce resource, and even emperors and ministers could not eat them often. According to the law, killing cattle without permission can even be punished by death, and only old cattle that are dying will be collected and slaughtered by the government. Therefore, it is not easy to eat beef. If anyone can buy cooked beef from the county, it will be spread in the nearby townships.

Daniel Zhang paused and glared at him: "Bastard, didn't you say it earlier?" ”

After thinking about it, Daniel Zhang sneered again: "Deng Hu is also here, just solve it together." "He used to be the commander of the personal soldiers under the command of General Rengong, and even ordinary Dubo has been killed, how could he put Deng Hu in his eyes.

"Qian Erhu, you take a few people to guard the house, and the others will wash Fanyang Pavilion with me." Daniel Zhang gave the order, and a middle-aged yellow turban boss who was named reluctantly called a few people to stay, and then the group was full of murderous energy and prepared to go down the mountain.

Brother Long was also among the few people who Qian Erhu ordered to stay and watch the door, and he was suddenly a little anxious, if he missed it this time, the benefits of the loss would be heavy. Compared with the loot that Daniel Zhang may drop, the fall of the yellow turban thieves in the back mountain is completely rubbish.

"Big boss, I also want to go down the mountain and contribute to the cottage!" While Daniel Zhang hadn't gone far, Brother Long hurriedly volunteered.

"You?" Daniel Zhang glanced at Brother Long, a little hesitant. He had fought with Brother Long, and knew that the other party's strength was not bad, and he would also use a strange secret weapon, so even ordinary Shi Chang couldn't suppress him. If it weren't for the fact that he had just joined the gang, he didn't have any qualifications, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not, otherwise with the strength of this man called Luo Long, he would be able to sit in the position of the three leaders.

At present, the cottage has lost a lot of manpower, and it is the time to urgently replenish new blood.

Therefore, after a deep groan, Daniel Zhang also felt that it was not a bad thing to have such a combat force as Brother Long join, so he nodded and agreed.

"Big brother, I want to ...... too" Qian Erhu didn't want to stay and guard the door, seeing this scene, he was about to do the same, but he was glared back by Daniel Zhang when he looked back.

Originally, there were less than 100 thieves on Xiaolong Mountain, and nearly 50 people were lost in the last night attack on Liujiazhuang, and more than a dozen people were just lost in the back mountain. This time, only seven or eight old and weak guards were left to guard the cottage, and they were almost out of the nest.

But in reality, there are only about 30 people.

However, Daniel Zhang is still confident, just a fanyang pavilion, how many pavilion guards can dare to fight? As for those ordinary villagers, they brought all the sturdy yellow scarves that had been looted for many years, and they could kill hundreds of villagers by dividing ten or twenty people. In the last night attack, if it weren't for the fierce resistance of the Liu family inside, the attack of the villagers of Fanyang Pavilion and Gaoxiang Pavilion outside, and the Yellow Turban sage Zhang Cai casting a spell to counterattack, otherwise why would he have fled in embarrassment.

But can the little Fanyang Pavilion have the elite who is not afraid of death like Liujiazhuang? Even though Deng Hu was fierce, but on his own, Daniel Zhang could easily crush him to death. At that time, even if the nearby pavilions dared to come to support, I am afraid that they would have already looted the Fanyang Pavilion and returned triumphantly.

A group of yellow scarves came from afar like the wind, and when they arrived at Fanyang Pavilion, a gust of wind blew, and they could smell the strong aroma of wine and meat.

"It's the cooked braised pork of the old cattle, I haven't eaten it for months, and I dream of eating it again." A big man in a yellow turban sniffed deeply.

"These guys, who killed our brothers, even dared to eat and drink, it's really against the sky!"

"Wash this Fanyang Pavilion, leave no one, and avenge the second leader!"

These yellow turban thieves all have red eyes, and they don't know whether they are anxious to take revenge or whether they are red-eyed and have good food, drink, and meat.

However, these people are all long-term bandits, and their voices are as low as possible, so as not to alarm the people in the pavilion.

It was getting dark, and when you got closer, you could even see the gate ajar, the pavilion was full of laughter, and the sound came from afar.

"Kill!" When he was more than twenty steps apart, Daniel Zhang burst into trouble, holding a round shield in one hand and a bronze sword in the other, and rushed in first. The pavilion, which was originally noisy, suddenly fell silent almost instantly.

The patio in the pavilion is quite spacious, and even if more than 30 yellow turbans pour in, it does not look crowded. The door to the main hall of the pavilion is tightly closed. On the ground in the patio, there are just a few tables casually, a plate of cooked braised beef is cut, accompanied by roast chicken and duck, but no one has eaten it at all.

More than a dozen jars of old rice wine were opened and sealed, allowing the aroma to overflow.

In the huge courtyard, I can't see a single person from Fanyang Pavilion.

Fooled, there is an ambush!

Daniel Zhang's hands and feet were cold, and he was about to order everyone to exit immediately, when the originally wide open courtyard door was slammed shut. The person who closed the door was Brother Long, and he naturally wouldn't follow him in, so he knew it was a trap.

The gate of the pavilion has also been modified, and an iron latch has been added to the outside. Then there were some things piled up at the door, and the people inside would never be able to rush out for a while.

"The person who closed the door is Luo Long, this traitor who deserves a thousand cuts!" The yellow scarf near the gate could see it clearly, and suddenly got out of anger. Five or six yellow scarves wanted to smash the door, but unfortunately Gao Heng had already taken precautions and had already found someone to add a heavy iron sheet to it. You don't need to hold them for long, as long as you can trap them for a while.

Seeing the yellow turbans in chaos, Daniel Zhang shouted, pointed to the door of the main hall and said loudly: "There must be someone in the door, otherwise where did the previous voice come from, kill in!" ”

"Haha, you thief is Daniel Zhang, who calls himself General Yugong? But Erl! A group of figures suddenly appeared on the second floor, and a middle-aged man wearing a hat sneered in the crowd.

This middle-aged man is Saigo You Du Wu. In order to besiege and kill Daniel Zhang without fail, Gao Heng pulled him through Deng Hu, after all, Deng Hu was previously under Xixiang's rule and knew each other well. Du Wu himself is also a ranger, plus the Xixiang Pavilion soldiers he selected, this is a lot of combat power.

Gao Heng stood aside, hiding his identity and name.

This is the second time he has met Daniel Zhang, and if there are no accidents, it should also be the last time they meet. Originally, Gao Heng wanted to take the opportunity to use his reading technique on Daniel Zhang to check his attributes and skills, but the strength gap between the two sides was large, and he finally failed.

"You're the official thief who has repeatedly ruined my big things?!" Daniel Zhang's eyes were cracked. Since the Yellow Turbans started the incident, the officials they hated the most were often called official thieves.

"Gao You, this thief actually thinks I am you!" Du Wu turned his head to look at Gao Heng, sneered, and glanced at Daniel Zhang with disdain.

"It's you!" Daniel Zhang saw Gao Heng's face clearly by the light of the torches upstairs, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. He remembered that the night attack on Liujiazhuang failed, and he fled in a hurry with the sage Zhang Cai, and once injured a person with short hair and different clothes. It turned out that he was the big thing that broke the sage master, and it was he who led people to attack and kill the back mountain, and now, he deliberately set a trap waiting for him!

Now that I think about it, the news that Zhang Xiongtan heard must have been deliberately spread by him, in order to lure himself in.

Yes, Luo Long and He Zhanpeng, who were caught back to the cottage by themselves, were originally similar short-haired strange clothes, and the tops and pants were similar to the hakama and pleats of the herdsmen outside the Guan, which are rare in the Central Plains. No wonder these people seem to know everything about the situation of the cottage, and they can even find it in such a hidden place as the back mountain, no wonder the woman named Chen Ru disappeared inexplicably, no wonder this Luo Long took the initiative to follow down the mountain, it turned out to be a mole. These people have been together for a long time!

In the electric light, Daniel Zhang thought of these details that he had forgotten.

Damn, if I had pinched him to death at that time...... Daniel Zhang felt a monstrous hatred in his heart.

"Ignition!" Gao Heng gave an order, and bundles of hay sprinkled with tung oil were thrown into the Yellow Turbans, and then dozens of torches that had already been prepared were thrown down continuously, and suddenly countless flames rose rapidly. In the end, even the main building where he was located was on fire.

"Let's go!"

Everyone rushed away and climbed into the backyard through the bamboo ladder set up by the window. Here, a simple earthen wall has been built to separate the main pavilion from the backyard, and the earthen wall is sprinkled with water to prevent the fire from spreading.

"Hahaha, Brother Gao is really whimsical, this move to burn the yellow scarf reminds me of General Huangfu's burning of the Changshe a few years ago." Saigo Yu Du Wu smiled heartily.

The burning of Changshe is a key battle for the famous general Huangfu Song to turn defeat into victory, a monstrous sea of fire, burned out the hundreds of thousands of troops of Yingchuan Yellow Turban Qushi Bocai, since then the situation of the official army has been completely reversed, and the last battle has been decided Guangzong, so that millions of Yellow Turbans have no leader since then.

"It's just a pity that it's such a good main building." Pavilion Father Huang San muttered in a little heartache.

"Just build it again, the head of Daniel Zhang, the head of a single thief, the county's purchase reward is 700,000 yuan, which is 700 yuan." Du Wu's eyes were full of golden light, well, the light of gold.
