Chapter 39 Hole Cards

The mountain gate opened, and a lean man trotted out of the closed gate.

Three feet and two steps, even rolling and crawling to the big boss, Lianliandao.

"The big boss, it's the small one who has no eyes, I don't see the big boss clearly, and I ask the big boss to understand, and the big boss is here."

As he spoke, he took the horse rope from the king's second hand and walked towards the mountain gate.

Tong Zhan, who was sitting on the horse, nodded expressionlessly, exuding a fierce aura on his body, which frightened the lean man.

While walking, he looked back at Wang Erdao beside him.

"Zhao Si, what are you looking at, you kid, I haven't seen my brother back to the mountain."

Zhao Si smiled, "Haha, that's not it, it's just that why are there so few brothers who have returned to the mountain this time?" And where did Monkey Three go? The one next to the big boss, but Su Caizi? ”

"Zhao Si, you have some vision, what you said is right, so this is Su Caizi, it's a pity, in order to invite this Su Caizi, but a lot of brothers have been folded, and the three monkey brothers are folded there."

"Many of the brothers were also injured, and those brothers were behind them, escorting the group of untouchables."

"Oh, I see, hey, it's a pity that the three monkey brothers are gone." Zhao Si was a little emotional.

At this time, Tong Zhan, who was sitting on horseback, snorted coldly, and the frightened Wang Er immediately shut up.

Tong Zhan said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry back to the mountain." ”

Zhao Si nodded, and the next moment he pulled Wang Er and whispered, "Second Brother Wang, it seems that you have become a celebrity in front of the big boss, and when you return to the mountain in the future, you have to support my brother and me." ”

Wang Er smiled and nodded, handed over the horse rope to others, and put his arm around Zhao Si's shoulders, and the steps of both of them unconsciously accelerated.

Just as Wang Er and Zhao Si stepped into the mountain gate, Zhao Si suddenly seemed to think of something, turned his head and asked.

"Hey, Second Brother Wang, no, do you need so many brothers to escort those untouchables?"

Zhao Si asked casually, Wang Er's face immediately changed, he suddenly pulled out a short knife from his back, and plunged it directly into Zhao Si's chest.

Wang Eryi saw that he had no experience in killing, and as soon as he drew his knife, the experienced Zhao Si felt the danger.

Zhao Si's shoulder shook and directly knocked Wang Er away, and at this time, Zhao Si also understood.

His body flickered a few times, and he instantly distanced Wang Er and shouted fiercely.

"Wang Er, you traitor, brothers have raised the alarm and have been tricked..."

Before Zhao Si's words were finished, his voice stopped abruptly the next moment.

An arrow shot out of nowhere, and an arrow sealed the throat.

Zhao Si's eyes were wide open, his eyes were solemn, his palms were covering his injured throat, and he wanted to struggle, but he didn't struggle for a while, and he fell to the ground and lost his breath.

Su Qi'an shouted, "Wang Er, don't be stunned, hurry up and lead the way, hurry!" ”

The next moment, Su Qi'an took the lead, carrying Wang Er, and went straight to the mountain gate.

Tong Zhan behind him also reacted quickly, kicking the horse with both legs, and the soldiers who looked like bandits behind him were not covering, drew their knives, and followed Tong Zhan to directly attack Dongzi Mountain.

Wang Er's mistake was indeed unexpected by Su Qi'an, and he also underestimated the ferocity of the bandits in Dongzi Mountain.

Although there was an accident, there was still time to remedy, and he took the lead, and according to his impression, he quickly rushed to the various guard posts in Dongzi Mountain.

Draw arrows and take bows, every time you go to a guard post, several arrows are fired, and the bandits at the guard post did not react and were killed on the spot.

It's not that these bandits are useless, but Su Qi'an shows his strongest side.

Every arrow, regardless of distance or angle, is extremely tricky, if Xie Cang is present, he will definitely not applaud loudly.

The archery skills that Su Qi'an is showing now have reached the level of miraculous skills, and even the so-called marksmen may not be sure to defeat him.

The advance team such as Tong Zhan behind him was also very fast, closely following Su Qi'an's pace, and Tong Zhan didn't have time to shock Su Qi'an's superb archery skills.

The elite soldiers behind him began to deal with the bandits at the other guard posts as fast as possible.

Although the speed of the two sides was very fast, in the rear, Xie Cang, Fang Jingzhi and others also followed up quickly.

But Dongzishan can become the most troublesome bandit in the two counties, how can he not have two brushes.

Sure enough, just as Su Qi'an was cleaning up the guard post at the fastest speed, suddenly, a rapid arrow shot out.

What it means when the arrow is shot out, Su Qi'an and they all know it.

I was thinking about a surprise attack, but it was no longer possible, and I could only attack in one go.

After a while, Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi behind him led a large army to arrive.

Around the silent hilltop in front of them, there was immediately agitation, and countless bandits began to deploy a counterattack.

Su Qi'an and the others had already rushed to the mountainside, only a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.

The people on the round did not continue to attack, but waited for Su Qi'an's order.

Su Qi'an glanced ahead and said, "Xie Hou, Lord Fang, everything is going according to our plan. ”

The two nodded, and the next moment, the gathered soldiers, divided into three groups, marched towards the top of the mountain, and at the same time, behind them, five heavy ballista carts were carried up.

In order to deal with this group of bandits, Xie Cang brought good guys this time.

These five heavy ballista carts, all made of iron, are two or three times heavier than the one made by Su Qi in terms of weight alone, at least four or five hundred catties.

The weight has increased, and the range and power have also doubled, this kind of big guy is logically difficult to keep up with Su Qi'an's footsteps.

However, Su Qi'an proposed an improvement plan, and opened a device to fill the heavy ballista with black powder at the bearing position, and used the power brought by the black powder to propel the heavy ballista forward.

This is just in time, although this method will damage the heavy ballista, but the current situation can not be taken care of so much, let's get it first.

Five heavy ballista carts, all wound up, and under Xie Cang's order, more than twenty stout arrows were fired in a volley.

The power was so great that it shot directly to the top of the mountain, and the wailing sounded, and then the corpses of several bandits fell from the top of the mountain.

The power of the ballista is self-evident.

In an instant, it caused a commotion among the bandits, and with the help of the heavy ballista, the three teams of soldiers almost rushed to the top of the mountain smoothly for a while.

It was only at a distance of only fifty meters from the top of the mountain that he was beaten back.

Xie Cang's eyes swept away, and his eyes had a solemn color, because at the top of the mountain, two huge iron gates suddenly appeared.

The iron gate closed, blocking the only entrance and exit in front of the mountaintop.

The iron door is thick, and not only that, but on the surface of the iron gate, there are several small windows, which are not large, but they are more than enough through arrows and halberds.

Although the heavy ballista is powerful, it does not cause much damage when it falls on the heavy iron door.

"A small Dongzi Mountain, there is such equipment, Ben Hou really underestimates them." Xie Cang was a little shocked.

In Daliang, the most strictly controlled is not the so-called knives, but armor, armor and the like.

After all, the sword is powerful, and the materials made of it are less than one-tenth of the armor and armor.

Whoever has a large amount of iron ore in his hands will have the confidence to rebel.

Dongzi Mountain, where a small number of hundreds of bandits gathered, has such a luxurious style.

The iron materials used to make armor and armor are directly made into two iron doors that are more than 20 meters long.

This time, Xie Cang really understood that this Dongzi Mountain is not simple, and Xie Cang is also very curious about the mysterious master.

The attack was thwarted, and for a time the two sides were at a stalemate, but the offensive continued.

The bandits on the top of the mountain resisted very fiercely, and the confidence they had lost was instantly increased when they looked at the power displayed by the iron gate.

Especially after half an hour, the bandits actually forced back three teams of soldiers, which immediately made them excited, and they all shouted.

"Hehe, it seems that Da Liang's army is nothing more than that, even we can't conquer a mountain, it's really embarrassing."

"If you only have this level, retire as soon as possible, and wait for me to go down the mountain to slaughter, hahaha."

“……”

The unscrupulous ridicule sounded all over the sky, and that feeling was like a slap in the face, making Fang Jingzhi unable to sit still.

But looking at the side, Su Qi'an's face was calm, and Fang Jingzhi couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, Su Qi'an's voice sounded, "Lord Fang, how long can you say that these bandits can still be shouting?" ”

Su Qi'an's question stunned Fang Jingzhi's question, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a stalemate at the moment.

They couldn't get to the top of the mountain, and the bandits on the top of the mountain could only defend in this way.

Although the soldiers were strong, they did not bring much food this time, so they could not fight a protracted war at all, and the battle they discussed this time was a quick battle.

Once it drags on, it will be very unfavorable to them, and the art of war says that one blow will be vigorous, and then it will decline, and then it will be exhausted.

In this kind of attack without progress, sooner or later their morale will be exhausted, and when the time comes, they will have to retreat if they don't retreat.

But Su Qi'an asked this at this time, as if the balance of victory had always been on their side.

It was only a matter of time to take Dongzi Mountain, but right now, Fang Jingzhi was smiling bitterly, and he didn't know how to reply to Su Qi'an for a while.

Su Qi'an tilted his head, looked at Xie Cang, and chuckled. "Dare to ask Master Hou, are you like Lord Fang, don't believe that the victory is us?"

Xie Cang's face was solemn, but he had seen a big scene somewhat, and in terms of emotions, it was much better than Fang Jingzhi.

Xie Cang said softly, "If Mr. Su hadn't been here, maybe Ben Hou's thoughts would be the same as Master Fang's, but seeing that Mr. Su was so confident, Ben Hou would have felt at ease." ”

"Okay, Mr. Su, don't sell it, tell Lord Fang your hole cards."

"Huh? Does Mr. Su still have hidden hole cards? Fang Jingzhi tilted his head, showing a look of surprise, and at the same time had some expectations.

Su Qi'an chuckled, looked at the top of the mountain in front of him, and said softly, "My lord, didn't you notice that there were fewer people who went with us this time?" ”

"Mr. Su, could it be that you're talking about those hunters with special tools on their backs?"

Su Qi'an nodded.

"Mr. Su, it's not that the official doesn't trust them, but this is dealing with bandits, they're just hunters, this..."

"Hehe, my lord, although they are hunters, don't underestimate them, they are different."
