Thundered......

The rumbling sound was approaching quickly, and the ground was trembling, becoming more and more violent. The small pebbles jumped up and fell as if they were boiling. Look again, where is the black line in the distance, it is clearly a cavalry.

The black-pressed cavalry is coming as fast as a tide?

I don't know how many, but it's a lot anyway, definitely more than three thousand. All of them were dressed in iron armor, and everyone was armed with sharp weapons, but they did not see the flags flying.

Why are there so many cavalry?

Except for Chao Gai and other insiders, the others were a little flustered and even frightened. If you are charged by so many cavalry, there is almost no way to survive?

Sai Lihua Wang Yan, the spear is still powerful, thinking that it is the team of the official army to encircle and suppress Qingfeng Mountain. I wonder why it's so fast, but I'm a little worried.

However, Qin Ming, who was thunderbolt, suddenly thought of Murong Yanda's cruel words.

Could it be that Qingzhou reacted so quickly? Send all the cavalry to capture me?

Seeing that the cavalry was getting closer and closer, Qin Ming didn't have time to think more. thinks that this is the team that came to arrest him, he is not a person who will be killed: "Phew, Murong dog thief, you really look up to me, Grandpa Qin will be afraid of you?" I guess they're here to arrest me, everyone go quickly, I'll lure them away. ”

In the midst of scolding, Qin Ming picked up his mace and patted his horse to get ready to dry. Hua Rong was right next to him, his eyes were quick, and he grabbed his reins: "Hey, Manager Qin, you misunderstood, it's all your own people." ”

"What? Own? Qin Ming was a little confused.

Not to mention him, even Huang Xin, Wang Yan and others are a little incredible. They all turned their heads to look at Hua Rong, who was speaking, as if waiting for him to be sure.

"That's right." Hua Rong nodded in confirmation, and told the truth what he knew: "More than half a year ago, Deng Long, the original golden-eyed tiger in Erlong Mountain, was killed, and the cottage was also taken over. Chaojiazhuang sent troops to garrison to accept the fleeing people. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing?" Qin Ming and Huang Xin looked at each other in astonishment. Shang Ranwei, Wang Yan suddenly, Song Jiang sent people back in vain.

Unexpectedly, this place was occupied by Chao Gai!

As if fulfilled, the rhythmic sound of the team's horn sounded. The cavalry in the distance suddenly stopped charging and quickly moved closer to this side.

A detachment of cavalry broke away from the ranks and rushed quickly. The first two are burly, stocky and powerful men, with somewhat similar faces. It is Chao Gai's two apprentices, Maotou Xing Kong Ming and Candle Mars Kong Liang.

The two were ordered to lead the 5,000 elites of the Ninth Cavalry Army to Erlongshan to assist in the defense. These two young masters of Kong Jiazhuang are not knowledgeable, they only know how to fight. Since he worshipped Chao Gai as a teacher, he has received strict special training. has become calm, martial arts are sophisticated, and he is no longer a rich young master with fine skin and tender meat.

Now the brothers are wearing bright light armor, carrying a big knife on their waists, and they are murderous. For Chao Gai's hard cultivation, they are very grateful and dare not forget. When he saw Chao Gai at the front from afar, he waved his hand and shouted "Master".

In a few moments, the two teams met.

Thousands of cavalry quickly lined up into a phalanx of thousands of people, and their movements were uniform. Shang Ranwei, Wang Yan sighed secretly when he saw this, what an elite cavalry.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Qin Ming and Huang Xin were amazed by the elite cavalry, and their eyes fell on the opponent's horses. With a strong body, thick limbs, and a divine horse, it is far from being compared to the horses in the forbidden army, and it is clearly a high-quality horse that money can't buy.

However, there are thousands of horses right now.

This had to surprise the two old soldiers, Chao Gai was really unusual.

The two generals led by Kong Ming and Kong Liang patted their horses and came to Chao Gai, and saw the two ladies again, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Meet the master, the master." ”

"Hmph, don't call me my sister." Huazi, Jerodari was a little annoyed. One vicious, the other fierce, looked at the two of them unpleasantly.

The brothers were a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Chao Gai was very enthusiastic and asked: "I haven't seen you for a few months, you two have darkened a lot and grown a lot." Look at you majestic, like a general, but you can't leave your martial arts behind. ”

"Master, rest assured, my brother has never been slack."

"How dare we be lazy? Master can test us at any time. ”

Mentioning this, Kong Ming, Kong Liang smiled, and patted his chest with confidence.

Hua Rong is no stranger, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Shang Ranwei brothers don't recognize it.

。 "Master, how many heroes have joined?"

"Well, yes, let's go back to the cottage first, and introduce you to you."

Chao Gai walked in the front, and the team arrived at Erlong Mountain. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he didn't block Mu Hong, and Mu Chun led the team down the mountain to greet him.

Everyone met head-on, and after a period of greetings, they went up the mountain lively.

The people who came with him couldn't be simpler for Erlongshan, which was constantly accepting refugees. After the registration led by a civil official, it was temporarily settled.

A set of processes is skillful and efficient.

Erlong Mountain, since it fell into the hands of Chaojiazhuang more than half a year ago, has sent heavy troops to garrison. A large amount of supplies were sent in and hoarded. Absorbing displaced people from the outside world, implementing military management at the inside, and building a large number of buildings, the changes have been earth-shaking so far.

For example, fortifications, three passes in front of the mountain.

The first level brought Qin Ming, Huang Xin and others a lot of shock. The original wooden fence wall is gone, replaced by a wall made entirely of rock and concrete. The steep cliffs connecting the two sides are seven or eight meters high, three or four meters thick, and more than twenty meters long, like a giant dragon traversing the mountain road.

There was a ditch outside the wall, on which were built arrow towers, pillboxes, and two bed crossbows above the city gate hole. More than 500 elites of the first battalion were stationed in turn. Three hundred sword and shield soldiers, two hundred archers, all equipped with divine arms and bows.

Inside the city wall, rolling wood, stones and other equipment to defend the city are piled up. Rows of neat buildings are located, and the rock structure resembles secondary fortifications. There is a building smoke rising from the smoke, a smell of rice, and the smell of meat permeates......

The second and third passes are laid out in much the same way.

Only the walls were built taller and stronger, and the defenses were more perfect. The relative increase in garrison personnel, the addition of reserves, granaries, and so on. Between the levels, there are arrow towers and watchtowers......

Such a fortification, and the terrain is so steep!

As long as the stored food and supplies are sufficient, there will be enough troops to come. Shang Ranwei and Wang Yan were amazed by the bed crossbow and catapult, and agreed that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the geographical advantage was much better than that of Qingfeng Mountain.

Qin Ming, Huang Xin shocked Erlong Mountain's defense at the same time, his cheeks were hot. Just because they are Qingzhou officers, they have no idea about the destruction of the bandits in the mountains in the territory, and they have no idea of this change, and they have to be said to be seriously derelict in their duties.

They were also more certain that Chao Gai occupied the top of the hill and secretly developed extremely unusually.

In addition to the three passes in front of the mountain, there is another pass at the top of the mountain, which has not yet been completed. Craftsmen skilled in construction commanded thousands of people busy carrying stones and mixing concrete to build the city walls. Men, women and children go into battle together.

The fortifications on Erlong Mountain were built so quickly.

It could not be done by the soldiers of the garrison alone, thanks to the refugees who were absorbed. During the period of waiting for the resettlement with enough food and drink, everyone enthusiastically contributed. The strength of the people is great, and in just a few months, three magnificent passes have been completed.

However, 30,000 or 20,000 people gathered and did much more than that.

In addition, the temple on the top of the mountain is the foundation, and a large number of buildings are densely erected around it. It is neatly planned and extends in all directions. In addition, there are several surrounding hills along the summit path, and rows of wooden houses are endless.

Stables, military camps are located in them, and many people are busy. There are even patches of terraced fields that have been reclaimed and planted with suitable vegetables and vine-like vegetation, which is not very demanding on the soil......

Even if Hua Rong has seen it many times, he still feels shocked.

Unexpectedly, the mountain of Erlong Mountain has developed to such a terrifying point! Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Shang Ranwei and others were mentally prepared and stunned. The grin is so grinning that it can fit into a fist, like a hippopotamus in heat.

The people who had registered to go up the mountain were as stunned as petrified.

"At present, cottage food is not self-sufficient, otherwise, it will be really solid." Mu Hong was shocked when he saw everyone, and his smile was even stronger. Although he said this, he was full of confidence and a little proud.

At present, the cottage has sufficient grain reserves, and it is not afraid of attack or siege.

It's like a nail in the ground.

Mu Hong instructed Qin Ming, Huang Xin and other heroes to arrange accommodation, so he led Chao Gai and Huazi to Baozhu Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient temple, to report the situation of the cottage.

Since Chao Gai had only taken a short rest the night before, he did not have time to understand the specific situation.

Erlongshan, 10,000 soldiers of the Seventh Infantry Army, eight battalions of cavalry, and twelve battalions of infantry. Reconnaissance, logistics, etc. more than 2,000 people. Counting the Ninth Army of the Auxiliary Defense Cavalry.

The regular army totaled more than 19,000 people.

Infantry and cavalry spent most of their time training in the deep mountains and old forests. Under the banner of the government, long and short distance training, such as Kong Ming, Kong Liang brothers.

During this time, more than 30,000 people were absorbed, and they were regularly transported to the base camp. In addition to the main mountain, a total of five peaks in the surrounding area have been developed.

……

A courtyard at the top of the mountain.

Thunderbolt Qin Ming has changed, and he has experienced the pain of losing a loved one. In the past, I didn't feel that my wife and children were around. thought that the other party died tragically, and returned to his side, as if he had realized it overnight.

When your loved ones are there, your home is there!

Qin Ming settled his wife and children, and then found Huang Xin and went to Baozhu Temple for a banquet. The two are not fools, and there is no suspense about what they have seen and heard along the way.

The master and apprentice looked at the magnificent Baozhu Temple.

Qin Ming looked at the direction of Qingzhou City and gritted his teeth: "Lao Tzu can't go back." It's better to give up your life and fight, can you still lose to Hua Rong? ”

That's right, Qin Ming learned that Chao Gai had laid out to save his family. Although I wonder how the other party knows, it does not prevent me from remembering this kindness. I thought about it for a long time in the past two days, and made up my mind to join him.

It's just that Qin Ming didn't want his apprentice to be a good brother, so he rebelled together: "Brother, you are innocent, you don't have to get involved in this troubled water." ”

"Master, you and I know best what the situation of officialdom is, and I don't want to follow in your footsteps." Huang Xin could see it and think it through, and his attitude was resolute: "Besides, Chao Tianwang is hidden deep enough, who said that it can't be done." Chaojiazhuang is as fierce as a cloud, and the apprentice is afraid that the master will not be able to support him alone. ”

"Hahaha, then let's partner up and go crazy again."

"Okay, let's go, go and meet the king, you can't lag behind others."

Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming and Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin looked at each other and laughed, and then walked into the Baozhu Temple hand in hand. Go straight to the head of Achna, who is sitting on the throne of the Lord, and bow down.

"I have long admired the name of the elder brother of the Heavenly King, the younger brother Qin Ming, and Huang Xin to meet my brother."
