Chapter 106: The Battle of Fangshan 1

The dark staircase stretched all the way down, and Albert, who was holding the candlestick, led the strong man Edwin along the narrow road into the belly of the mountain. The interior of the main peak of Fangshan is actually a huge hollow, down the mountain wall on one side, the little lights are like stars, stretching to the end of the darkness, its scale is so large that it is difficult to see the whole picture at a glance.

"Mr. Albert, you are here, the general is waiting for you, please go this way. ”

"Well, I'm tired. ”

Along the path on the hill wall, Albert led Edwin into a slightly larger cave, where a soldier standing guard immediately took the menorah. A man with relatively complete armor greeted him, and first saluted Albert and Edwin, looking quite cultivated. The three of them walked all the way to the depths of the cave, chatting along the way, looking quite speculative.

“oh~...... yes~......”

"Papapa"

There were some discordant sounds from the depths of the cave, and when I walked in, it was some soldiers who were violently assaulting a group of women, and looking at the clothes that were torn and thrown on the ground, it was the style of Shu County. The scene was brutal and bottomless, and even Albert, who was born as a bandit, was a little overwhelmed.

"General Bernie, this ......"

"Mr. Albert, what's wrong?" Bernie, the adjutant who led the way in front, stopped when he heard this, and turned around, still smiling, and his whole temperament was full of the elegance of a veteran nobleman, "Ah~ You said this, our holy soldiers are ** these blasphemers who are not firm in their beliefs, helping them return to the arms of the Lord, and only after death will they have a chance to ascend to heaven." Give these heretical soldiers the opportunity to sacrifice their lives for the holy Lord, and they will also feel honored, ah~ How merciful the general is. ”

At the end of the words, they couldn't help but be intoxicated, Albert and Edwin trembled when they heard the words, and they only felt a cool breath emerge from the bottom of their hearts. The strong man Edwin approached Albert as he walked, and whispered in his ear, "Big brother, do we really want to cooperate with them? These people don't look normal, maybe we might as well join the empire." ”

"Shhh Besides, do you think we still have a chance to get out?"

"Big brother, it's not a pity for the younger brother to die, just like you said, our brother's life was saved by the master's family, and he returned it amazingly, and he will be a good man after twenty years, but our boys are still young. The eldest of your family is only 14 years old, and he is in the grade of school, and we have also saved some money over the years to send those boys to the academy of God, and I can't say that our two families can also produce a nobleman. ”

"It's too late to say anything now, you don't know the troop deployment of these guys, it's not good to send them away, can you and I go......"

"Ah~ Two leaders, the general's room has arrived, please come in. Under the light of the beating fire, Adjutant Bernie's handsome face showed a perfect smile, and the thin willow eyebrows were slightly curved. If it was a woman who didn't know the inside story, I was afraid that just such a smile would be able to attack her heart defense, but in Edwin's opinion, he only felt cold all over his body, and he didn't dare to look at the other party, so he bowed his head and saluted with his eldest brother.

"Thank you, General Bernie, for your hard work. Albert touched his chest with one hand and bent slightly, and Edwin quickly followed.

"Ah~ where, where, general, or something...... I'm just an adjutant, please don't call me that. Having said that, Edwin didn't find a trace of shame on his face, and he accepted the call of general before.

"So...... Please. Gently pushing open a door, Bernie ushered Albert and Edwin into an office. The people in the office heard the voice, glanced back at the three people who appeared in the doorway, and focused their eyes on a large map in the center, leaving them alone.

He was greeted by a short, middle-aged man, dressed in a loose samurai robe, with no armor or weapons on his body, a slightly chubby figure, a face of Chinese characters, and a thick short hair, and a neatly trimmed beard.

"Aha~ Dear Mr. Albert, and Mr. Edwin, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought that the two of you were trying to betray my lord and were preparing for an event. ”

"Hehe~~ General Gran laughed, both of my brothers were rescued by the master's family to save a life, but they can't be that ungrateful. ”

Albert responded to the sharp words with a dry smile, took the ledger from Edwin's hand, and handed it to General Gran.

"General, this is the account so far, including the previous batches, and now there are more than 1,200 prisoners held in the stockade, as well as nearly 10,000 tons of grain, and a small amount of iron and weapons, all here. We've destroyed five villages lately, and the surrounding villages have received rumors, mercenaries have been stationed, and the Lawrence Imperial Army has begun intensive patrols, and to be honest, it's hard to find a chance to continue looting villages. ”

"It's okay, we won't be here for long. General Gran replied casually as he flipped through his ledger.

"General, if you can, please try it as soon as possible, after all, our food stock is not much, and there are more than 10,000 people up and down the mountain, plus prisoners. ”

"Hmm~ What are you doing with so many captives? Pick out Qingzhuang and send them away as soon as possible, oh, just send the young women to me, and the other captives, just dispose of them. ”

"Ahh

General Gran glanced at Edwin, his eyes were focused on the ledger in his hand again, and he said calmly in an uncaring tone, "Literally, do you still need me to teach this?" ”

"General...... Those are old people and children, and they ......"

"Edwin!" Albert grabbed the emotional Edwin and interrupted him, "Understood, General, then tomorrow we will proceed to dispose of those unwanted prisoners." It's just a task on the master's side......"

"Don't worry, tomorrow we will load the supplies during the day, and we will set off at night, and you can start retreating. Okay, I've seen the material data, you can go back and prepare yourself. After speaking, he handed the ledger in his hand to Adjutant Bernie on the side, and ignored Albert and Edwin on the side, walked straight to the map in the center, and instructed the surrounding circle of officers: "Our task is to destroy as much as possible, we can't occupy this land, we must grasp the key points, one team goes to the mine, blow up the mine, don't feel distressed, the second team goes to blow up the dam......"

Albert wanted to stay longer, but was blocked by Adjutant Bernie and sent the two of them out of the base. Outside the path into the mountain wall, Edwin looked back at the shadow of the huge airship in the darkness, "Big brother, what are you really going to do?" ”

Hearing this, Albert, who was burying his head in his head, paused slightly, but did not look back and continued to walk forward.

"I can only ...... That's it......"

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

In the valley on the north side of the Fangshan Mountain Range, in the test ship Barbia Baron, in the officer's canteen, the tense station meeting is still not over.

Picked up the liaison of the fangs squad, it was not early, and the white of the fish belly had already appeared in the east, in order to avoid exposure, Qin Shouzhuo ordered the fleet to leave the sky above Fang Mountain and hide in the valley at the northern foothills. Princess Sally, who was sleeping peacefully in the captain's room in the stern, woke up and looked out the window at the green woods, not even noticing the fleet's unusual movements last night.

Thanks to the investigation of the fangs team, Qin Shouzhuo didn't expect that what he thought was a simple anti-bandit operation would turn out like this.

Above the mountain, there is a narrow valley, and the big trees above the valley hide it. Through artificial modifications, the bandit has hidden 25 airships in the valley, carved a huge airport into the towering rock face, and even has a number of airship maintenance personnel. There is a passage above the rock wall, which goes through the western ridge of Fangshan Mountain, and exits in the cottage under the cliff to the west.

Qin Shouzhuo had already discovered the cottage, although it was well hidden, but Qin Shouzhuo had Victoria's scanning comparison. That cottage is not big, Qin Shouzhuo estimates that there is a scale of 800~1000 people, which does not match the intelligence, Qin Shouzhuo just took it as the object of attention, but he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't want this to be the target.

There is a large hole in the innermost part of the cottage, deep into the mountain wall, and there is a huge hollow inside, and in which the bandits have built a large-scale underground city. The residents are the families of some bandits, the total number is about 7000~8000 people, the number of young and middle-aged male bandits is about a little more than 1000, counting the old and weak women and children, no more than 4000 can hold weapons. The Viper team even found more than a thousand captives inside, but there were almost no young women, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Hearing the news of the missing villagers, the Imperial Army officer, who was the overseer, almost immediately stopped the operation, added the content of rescuing the captured villagers to the mission, and gave a reward of up to 500,000 silver coins depending on the degree of completion, that is, 50 million copper coins, whose purchasing power is equivalent to 50 million RMB. Qin Shouzhuo immediately said that as a nobleman of the empire, it is incumbent on him to save the people of the empire, even if he has no money, he has to do it, but since the empire wants to give money, he still reluctantly accepts it.

The overseer said: You can pretend, what nonsense you have to do without money, believe that you will really see the hell.

A full army of 5,200 people, a total of 16 support ships, plus two Shu County local mercenary regiments of about 5,600 support troops, Qin Shouzhuo felt that the advantage was very great, so he didn't hurry up and let people run away.
