Chu Hou said that he would do it, without delaying for a minute, and immediately ordered Wanyue and Xu Yuan to go back to gather people, and Zhang Feizi and Cai Tai also went out with the army.

Early the next morning, Chu Hou ordered 200 defenders in the city, and Xu Yuan now had more people than before, bringing fifty escorts to come. Wanyue also brought a hundred whirlwind troops to help in the war, the so-called whirlwind army, in fact, is the old brother that Wanyue brought out in the cottage, because they are no longer robbers, so they can no longer use titles such as "green forest heroes", but in order to respect the semi-independence of Wanyue and distinguish them from ordinary soldiers, they are called by the whirlwind army. The name naturally comes from the whirlwind twin axes of the waning moon.

Zhang Feizi also brought a few old farmers with medicine hoes to help in the battle, and when the waning moon saw it, he laughed, and Chu Zhongli persuaded them to go back with kind words, only letting Zhang Feizi follow. In addition, Cai Tai is familiar with the local situation, and it is also very beneficial for him to go with him.

Chu Zhongli asked Cai Tai again: "Old Cai, how are our supplies?" ”

Cai Tai said in embarrassment: "It's not very sufficient, and you may have to starve." ”

Chu Zhongli waved his hand: "It's okay, you can ask for it from the villages you pass by." Having said this, I also sighed in my heart, the people are really angry.

The army of 350 people drove all the way from Linjiang City to Niutou Mountain, where the bandits were entrenched. Along the way, whenever they passed through a village, the people of the village would eat pot pulp and give them food and drink, so they would not have a problem with food along the way.

Chu Zhongli saw the people who gave them food and drink, and asked Cai Tai next to him: "Lao Cai, why do you say these people took the initiative to send us food and drink?"

Cai Tai arched his hand and smiled: "Naturally, because the reputation of Chu Hou is all over the world, this time he sent troops to suppress bandits, and the people cheered, so naturally they wanted to eat pot pulp to welcome the lord!"

Chu Hou smiled and shook his head, and asked Zhang Feizi next to him, Zhang Feizi was trembling on a horse, and when he heard Chu Hou's question, he leaned back slightly and opened his big mouth:

"Hey, aren't you afraid that we will rob them? If they don't give it, let's go to the village and search the village, and maybe we won't leave anything for them, so they take the initiative to send us some of it, so that they can keep more food, and we will look good." Otherwise, they are all so poor, why should they give it to us, idle?"

Chu Hou listened to Zhang Feizi's words, laughed, patted Cai Tai's shoulder and said, "Old Cai, you are not as real as him." Lao Cai also laughed embarrassedly.

One day, when I was almost at the foot of Niutou Mountain, there was another village, and after seeing off the villagers who came to greet him, there was an old man in rags. Holding a broken bowl and half a bowl of yellow rice, he staggered towards him. The soldiers advised him to go back.

"Old man, we don't want your bowl of rice, you can keep it for yourself. ”

"Old man, why are you ...... this?"

“......”

But no matter how much he persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him, the old man's eyes were dull, and he still stretched out his two skinny arms, holding the bowl of rice, but he refused to leave.

"I want to see the sir......"

Seeing this situation, Chu Zhongli dismounted and walked in front of him, asked the soldiers not to stop him, and said to the old man: "Old man, I am the highest commander here, is there anything wrong?"

The old man's face was distorted, two lines of tears flowed down from the ravine's face, and a whimpering voice came out of his throat: "The old man is the master of me!"

"Old man, if something happens, tell me, and I will help you solve it. ”

The old man wiped his tears with his dirty sleeves, and told Chu Hou the reason, his level of expression was not very high, and Chu Hou barely understood after listening to it for a long time.

He is an old man in this village, a widower, usually honest, do not provoke others, the government will pay grain to the government when it collects grain, and the robbers will pay grain to the robbers when they "borrow grain".

's daughter, who has a bit of a look, is sixteen this year, and originally wanted to find a good family to marry, and her life will be better. As a result, a few days ago, the king of Niutou Mountain, the five-clawed dragon, didn't know which door to smoke, and suddenly came to collect the protection fee himself, and received their village, Fang Laohan honestly handed over the protection fee, and the robber found out that he had a beautiful daughter, so he snatched her off the horse. Fang Laohan's youngest son was only six years old this year, and he smashed the five-clawed dragon with a small pebble, and it hit him on the head right at once. In a fit of rage, the five-clawed dragon drew his long knife and cut his youngest son in two.

When the old man said this, he also took out a ball of bloody clothes from his arms, and unfolded it to see exactly two paragraphs. When everyone saw it, they were all filled with righteous indignation. The old man bent his knees, knelt down towards Chu Hou, handed half a bowl of rice to Chu Hou again, and said: "They have snatched all my food again, and my old man has this half bowl of rice left now, and now I will dedicate it to the chief, I hope the chief will not dislike it." ”

Chu Hou took the rice, looking at this half bowl of yellow rice, which was mixed with sand and dust, as if mixed with the old man's experience, he had mixed feelings in his heart, in fact, this bowl of rice was really inconspicuous, and even the soldiers didn't want it, but how could he refuse him now? Taking the old man's rice was equivalent to giving him a guarantee.

So Chu Hou slowly lifted the bowl, poured a handful of rice into his mouth, chewed and swallowed the raw rice, and then returned the bowl to the old man, and said to him: "I, Chu Hou, ate your rice today, and I will definitely help you with things." ”

In fact, there is nothing to eat in this bowl of rice, it is still raw, Chu Hou did this to express his determination to avenge the old man and rule the people in peace. The act was a success, and many of the soldiers looked at him with admiration in their eyes.

Chu Hou found two more soldiers to take care of the old man and left them some food. Lead the army directly towards Niutou Mountain!

This village is not far from Niutou Mountain, and some way forward, Niutou Mountain can already be seen, only to see that the robbers at the foot of the mountain have already lined up, it seems that they already know that the official army is coming to crusade, so they are prepared.

When Chu Hou saw that there were so many people, they were dense, and his eyes were even more uncomfortable, so he looked for Zhang Feizi and said, "Feizi, look at how many of them there are." ”

Zhang Feizi used the word "Wang", these days, he has undergone a lot of experience, and the exercises have also improved, and Wangwen Wenqi has been promoted from the original first-order exercises to the second-order exercises.

"Wow, it looks like there are seven or eight hundred. And they all look quite energetic, although the equipment is simple, but it is not tattered, it seems that there is indeed a certain combat effectiveness. ”

The two armies slowly approached, and when they reached a distance where they could fight, they saw the two bandit leaders led by the other party, one with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a square face and wide ears, holding a mace in his hand, the head of the stick was the size of a water tank, and it looked like it was the opponent's three masters, the iron-backed tiger.

The other is thin, holding two iron hooks, his eyes are shining, his steps are light, his agility seems to be very good, and the most eye-catching thing is that there is a big tooth on the side of his mouth, which is the fanged brocade leopard of the cottage.

Zhang Feizi took a look at it with the word "Wangzi", the iron tiger concentrated the essence in four sections, and the golden leopard concentrated in two sections.

Tiehu rode out of the team, pointed a mace at Chu Hou, and scolded: "Ah, you dog officer, you and I have no grudges in the past, and we have no enmity in recent days.

How could Chu Hou verbally lose the upper hand? Ye Ce immediately stepped forward and snorted: "Phew, you gang of people kill innocents indiscriminately, bully men and women, meet me Chu Hou today, and make you regret reincarnation!" Originally, he wanted to scold a few words about "dog robbers" or something, but Wanyue and her brothers were next to him, and this scolding was too detrimental to unity, so he only picked up the moral character of the other party and scolded him.

"There is a kind of comparison to see who made whom regret reincarnation?" Iron Tiger waved his mace, looking defiant. "You have someone to fight in that formation, come out quickly!"

With Chu Hou's strength, he can definitely deal with this person. But if he always goes out on his own, it is equivalent to depriving his subordinates of the opportunity to exercise.

Wanyue shouted, jumped up, out of the formation, this leap just fell, got up and jumped again, and slashed directly at the iron tiger. The Iron Tiger rode a tall horse, and the waning moon could barely be condescending only by jumping up.

Iron Tiger swung his mace, just like playing badminton, and smashed the big head of the mace against the waning moon. When the two plate axes and maces touched, there was a loud and piercing sound, and some of the low-ranking people present couldn't stand it and covered their ears.

When the waning moon touched it, I knew that the other party was powerful, and the two axes almost got out of their hands. And the strength of Wanyue's hands is not small, Tiehu's arms are numb, he has enough strength, but he can support it, Ma Ke can't support it, it was hard enough to support him, but now this force is pressed over, and the four horse legs are broken together, and Tiehu is thrown to the ground.

Although it was a tie this time, the Iron Tiger's horse fell and it didn't look good on the field, so it looked like this round was a waning moon advantage.

Wanyue was in mid-air, and when she saw the iron tiger falling to the ground, she directly took advantage of the fire to rob and launched the exercise.

"Second-Order Exercise: Whirlwind Flying Axe!"

She threw an axe at Iron Tiger, and with the other axe in her hand, she flew directly towards Iron Tiger's face. Wanyue has not encountered any strong enemies since her debut, and she often solves the battle by throwing two axes over, only to find out after being knocked down by Chu Hou that day that it is too unstable to throw both axes in one breath, and you still have to leave a strength to ensure close combat.

But Tiehu was defeated but not chaotic, he turned around, picked up the mace and fought with her. She can only accept the offer, and she can't take advantage of the other party.

The first few moves are generally the ones that determine the outcome of the game, and if you can't kill the opponent within a few moves, the scene will fall into a war of attrition. Now it's almost the same, you have an axe and I have a stick, and the competition is personal hard power. The level of the waning moon is the second stage of the gathering essence, which is two stages lower than the fourth stage of the iron tiger's concentration of essence, although it is not a huge difference, but a long time is enough to put the waning moon at a disadvantage. After dozens of rounds of fighting, Wanyue was already panting and sweating, and her loose hair was also soaked with sweat.

Tie Hu couldn't help but let out an indecent laugh when he saw that she was becoming more and more unsupportable under his hands. "Chick, the kung fu is not bad, and the person is also peugeot, come and be my wife, right?"

When Wanyue heard this, she was even more angry, and in a fit of anger, her tricks were scattered, and she was almost hit on the head by him with a mace, which slid past her, wiping off a piece of shoulder pads on her shoulders, and the shoulder pads were torn off even the clothes that were on her shoulders.

Zhang Feizi was not happy when he heard Tie Hu speak so badly, so he picked up the word "ask" and shouted to Tie Hu: "That ugly-faced man! Have you rinsed your mouth today? I can smell your mouth smelling here!"

As mentioned earlier, this set of exercises has a special effect. "Look" is to observe the enemy's rank and status, "Smell" is to judge the opponent's movements based on the opponent's voice, "Ask" is to disturb the opponent by making his own voice, and "Cut" is to discover the enemy's weakness and cut through the weakness to cause the enemy to fall into a negative state.

Now, he's making a noise to disrupt the other party.

Tiehu was furious when he heard this, and let out a roar: "Who is it?"

"It's your grandfather and me. Zhang Feizi walked out and said sharply: "You are known as the Iron Tiger, and I think you are a stinky mouse in the gutter." ”

Tiehu only felt very uneasy in his heart, and just wanted to take a stick and smash him into thousands of sticks, but he was entangled with the waning moon, how could he spare his hand? But he really couldn't bear it, and wanted to scold him, so the trick in his hand slowed down, and he roared: "You fat pig, you are also worthy of me?"

Zhang Feizi was not angry at all when he scolded him, because the other party was willing to scold him, which was exactly the performance of being tricked, just like that, you said, I said, I scolded more than ten sentences, which gave Wanyue enough opportunity to rest, her mind gradually retracted, and the scattered tricks gradually had rules, thinking, it is not a game to fight like this, and take the opportunity to sell a flaw.

Wanyue exchanged a few more tricks with Tiehu, pretending to be knocked away by him with two axes, and turned around and ran.

"Hugh go!" Iron Tiger shouted, raising his stick to chase after him. Who knew that Wanyue was just pretending to run away, and when she turned around, she kicked it.

"Second-Order Exercise: Whirlwind Flying Legs!" This kick was strange and accurate, directly kicking Tie Hu's right wrist, and then flew out again, kicking Tie Hu in the chest, Tie Hu was kicked back several steps and fell.

At this moment of lightning, a hidden weapon shot towards the waning moon! The waning moon hurriedly dodged, but his foot was in the air, and he couldn't take it back casually, so his right foot was stared at the small hidden weapon from the calf to the foot. It turned out that the golden leopard was watching the iron tiger suffer from the side, so he cast a hidden weapon and injured the waning moon.

As soon as Tiehu saw this change, he didn't care about whether he was fighting or not, so he picked up his mace and smashed it towards Wanyue's head. Wanyue was plotted in his legs and feet, almost unable to move, and the two axes were not around, and the others had no time to rescue, so in a hurry, he hit the essence of the vitality of his whole body in his hands and gathered them into a qi shield.

When he fought Qi Sanbiao, Chu Zhongli used this trick, in fact, this is not a trick that Chu Zhongli comprehends himself, as long as it is a condensation period, he can condense qi into a substance and use it as a weapon, but it consumes too much vitality in this way, and it is far less than using weapons directly, so generally speaking, he doesn't use this trick, but now at the moment of life and death, he can only use it.

The level gap between the two is not very large, and the waning moon uses the vitality essence of the whole body to form a shield wall, and this time it is indeed blocked, but it is blocked, and his right foot has no strength, so he naturally has to hit the strength of his whole body on his left foot, and the pressure on his left foot is increasing. With a "click", his left foot was twisted.

The right foot was hit by a hidden weapon, and the left foot was twisted, and this time the waning moon couldn't walk at all, so he stumbled and fell to the ground. And the golden leopard also rushed forward, and together with the iron tiger, he wanted to take the life of the waning moon.

At the critical juncture, dozens of rattans suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the Iron Tiger Leopard.

"Xu Yuan, you command the army, and I will deal with the two of them!" Chu Hou kicked his feet, like an arrow from the string, and then arrived and fought with the two of them. The two bandits made a move, and the enemy army covered up like a tide, and Xu Yuan also commanded the army to resist.

At this time, the waning moon energy has been exhausted, the feet are still unable to move, and the double axes are not by their side, so it can be said that they have no combat ability. In the face of the opponent, a small soldier is afraid that he can't deal with it. In the face of the rushing crowd, if no one saves them, they will have to wait for death. The one who has the ability to save and the ability to adjust her state is Zhang Feizi. Faced with this kind of juncture, Zhang Feizi had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, ran over and carried her on his shoulders, and broke through towards a place where there were few people.
