Chapter 18 Winning the hearts and minds of the people
Half an hour after Zhu Ming and the others set off, Lin Haotian also led people to quietly rush to the bottom of the cliff.
By the time we reached the bottom of the cliff, it was not yet six o'clock, and it was still a little dark.
Lin Haotian first estimated the height of the cliff, then jumped on one foot, held the rock wall with his right hand, and grabbed the rock above with the other hand, and climbed towards the top of the cliff step by step.
After arriving at the edge of the cliff, Lin Haotian threw down a few ropes from both sides with his hands and feet, and when everyone saw this, they rushed up and climbed up along the rope.
After a short time, a group of more than a dozen people all gathered at the top of the mountain, Lin Haotian counted the number of people, confirmed that no one was left behind, and then commanded in a low voice: "Brothers, move fast for a while, but don't startle the snake!"
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, I'll take out the guards in the back village first, and then we'll rush up, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Go!"
Houzhai has always been Dong Meng's safest fortress, so he only symbolically sent two guards to stand guard outside.
The two guards stood all night, it was early in the morning, the most tired time of the day, and when Lin Haotian arrived, the two were sitting together, holding steel knives, still dozing.
Without waiting for Lin Haotian to take a few steps to find them, the former slowly approached silently, seeing the situation clearly, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised, revealing a sneer.
Originally, he was hiding behind a big tree, but in a few arrows rushed to the side of one of the guards, and at the same time covered his mouth tightly with his hand, and without pausing for a moment, the hilt of the knife in his hand slapped the man's head.
"Bang!"
After a muffled thud, the guard grunted and passed out.
looked at the other guard again, unaware, still asleep, Lin Haotian was polite, standing up as a knife, and knocked him unconscious.
His movements were too fast, he solved two guards in a row, it was just a matter of blink of an eye, and there was no sound, his eyes swept around, and confirmed that there were no other guards, Lin Haotian waved his hand, and the group rushed to the back door of the cottage at full speed.
When they were still a hundred steps away from the gate of the village, a few robbers who stayed behind the cottage finally noticed it, but at this time the sky was still very hazy, and they saw a group of people rushing here, and they were also dressed as bandits, and the robbers in the village could not judge whether the other party was an enemy or their own people for a while.
A burly robber stood above the fence and Xiangxia shouted, "What are you?"
Lin Haotian, who rushed to the front, didn't think about it, and replied directly: "My own people!"
One sentence made the other party's vigilance greatly reduced, and the burly robber was still wondering: "Didn't all the brothers in the village follow the eldest brother to the front village to beat Zhu Ming? Why did these dozen people pop up again?"
A distance of 100 meters, in an instant, when the group rushed to the front, the robbers in the cottage found that the people who came turned out to be fresh faces.
"It's the enemy...... the face of the burly robber changed greatly, and he subconsciously screamed, but as soon as the cry was shouted, the steel knife in Lin Haotian's hand was also thrown out.
The steel knife slashed through the air in a wonderful arc, and then pierced his belly with precision, and the sound stopped abruptly.
The rest of the robbers in the stockade woke up one after another, pulling their necks and shouting: "Enemy! The enemy is coming! Close the door!"
But at this time, it is too late to close the door.
Lin Haotian was the first to rush into the village, and after entering, he quickly pulled out the big knife that was still inserted in the robber's body, and slashed forward with force.
"Click, click!"
With two crisp sounds, two more robbers fell under his knife.
Seeing this, the other robbers were shocked and frightened, and they raised their knives one after another and rushed towards Lin Haotian.
Lin Haotian snorted, the long knife swung horizontally, and the phantom god armor came out at will.
Before the several robbers who rushed towards him could figure out what was going on, they were swept away by the halo, and for a while, screams rang out, and several robbers were cut off by Qi Qi's waist, and blood gushed out, reflecting the entire ground.
The whole venue was surprisingly quiet.
Time seemed to be forbidden, and the remaining robbers were stunned, their mouths opened wide, and they even forgot to breathe, they could not have imagined that several big living people were killed in the hands of each other without a single move, and if they didn't see it with their own eyes, no one could believe this fact.
A deep sense of fear enveloped everyone's heart, and I don't know how long it took, one of the robbers who reacted first screamed: "Demon... Youkai?"
βhahaβββ
Lin Haotian looked on his back, the fierce battle had completely stimulated the belligerent factor in his body, looking at the few robbers in front of him who were waiting to be slaughtered like lambs, he sneered and said, "Yes, I am a monster! Don't any of you want to leave here today!" Before the words fell, he raised his knife again and rushed towards the remaining robbers.
Even if tens of thousands of people in the Red Army camp failed to subdue Lin Haotian, how could these robbers pose a threat to him? Moreover, Lin Haotian was accompanied by more than a dozen brothers in the village.
In just a few moments, it was rare to see an enemy in the entire field who could still stand, and at this point, the battle in the back village was also over.
Lin Haotian calmed down a little, checked carefully, and confirmed that there was no more life, so he led everyone to the front village.
The battle in Houzhai was smooth, but Zhu Ming's Qianzhai was far less optimistic. By the time Lin Haotian led the people to arrive, there were less than ten of the thirty people who had originally followed Zhu Ming, and everyone was scarred, and they had become the end of a strong crossbow.
Seeing Lin Haotian, the rest of the people were sour, and they almost didn't cry on the spot, and one of them shouted loudly: "Brother Lin, he is the big boss... He was killed by Dong Meng! The other brothers were also killed in battle!"
Although he had expected this result, Lin Haotian still couldn't help but tremble in his heart, Zhu Ming was killed? Besides, how long has it been, and there are only these few people left among the thirty brothers?
Lin Haotian knew that now was not the time to be sad, and the sadness on his face also flashed, he suppressed his ups and downs, pointed at his long knife, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill Dong Meng and avenge the big boss!"
"Roarβ"
With his order, the haze that was originally buried in people's hearts completely turned into a flame of hatred at this moment, and everyone screamed strangely, and they all raised their weapons and rushed towards Dong Meng and the others.
When Lin Haotian first appeared, Dong Meng noticed him, but what surprised him even more was that the other party actually killed him from behind him, could it be ......
Thinking of this, Dong Meng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Just when Dong Meng was surprised, Lin Haotian had already taken the lead in running to his approach, holding the knife in his right hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Dong Meng, today I will use your head to pay tribute to the spirit of the great master in the sky!"
"Don't be rampant, take me first!" As he spoke, Dong Meng waved the silver-white spear in his hand and swept straight towards Lin Haotian's neck.
Lin Haotian didn't dodge, and used the long knife in his hand to catch his powerful shot.
The two blades collided, as if the clear sky exploded thunder, and the deafening sound of gold made the people on both sides of the nearby war shiver from the bottom of their hearts, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
What a lot of strength! Lin Haotian secretly praised in his heart.
Dong Meng thought that even if he didn't kill this shot directly, he would have to be seriously injured, but he never thought that he was caught by the other party, and now he really felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
"You also take me a knife!" Lin Haotian roared, and slashed Dong Meng with his hand, the latter pretended to be calm, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu is still afraid that you won't succeed?"
As he spoke, the weapons of the two collided again.
Dong Meng's martial arts are not weak, but he is not a martial artist after all, and he does not have the physique of Lin Haotian, this knife is undoubtedly fatal to him.
"Whew-"
In the whistling sound of the long knife, the spear in Dong Meng's hand was first split horizontally, and then, his bean-sized head rolled to the ground from above his shoulder like a balloon blown off, and blood gushed out along his headless body.
"Huh?" At this moment, the people on both sides of the melee were completely dumbfounded, especially on Dong Meng's side, his own boss was killed, is there any point in continuing to fight like this? Many people simply threw the weapons in their hands to the ground, holding their heads and whining in pain.
There were also some people who were still unwilling to put down their weapons and stood where they were, but they did not make any more senseless resistance, but nervously held the weapons in their hands and stared at Lin Haotian intently.
Seeing this, Lin Haotian didn't want to do innocent killings anymore, he walked to a high fence, raised his eyes and looked at everyone, raised his voice, and said loudly: "The rest of the brothers, listen, I am Lin Haotian in the north of the mountain! Those who are willing to stay will be my brothers in the future, as long as I have a bite to eat, there will be yours, and if I don't want to stay, I will not force you, you can choose to leave now!"
After listening to Lin Haotian's words, everyone looked at each other, and no one took the lead in expressing their position, but everyone's faces showed a bit of perseverance.
In the troubled times, whoever is strong is the master, and whoever is weak is the subordinate, this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the countries of the Abyss Continent.
I don't know how long it took, but finally one of the robbers put down the weapon in his hand and said loudly: "Brother Lin, I am willing to follow you!"
Driven by him, another robber immediately said, "Brother Lin, I am also willing!"
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
