Yongzhou Thorn Shi Xue Shanglin stood at the foot of Niumao Mountain, looking far away, the fire on the mountain was soaring, and the sound of shouting and killing was endless, and the battle situation on the mountain could be predicted and tragic.

A sneer overflowed at the corner of Xue Shanglin's mouth, and he said lightly: "Those gentlemen on Niumao Mountain, I really think that the imperial court can't do anything about them, it's ridiculous." ”

Duan Long, the guard standing on the side, coughed lightly and took the opportunity to pat himself on the back: "Lord Xue, look at this situation, before the early morning, the bandits of Niumao Mountain will definitely be wiped out, this is a great merit, my subordinates congratulate Lord Xue in advance." ”

If the bandits on Niumao Mountain can be wiped out this time, it will indeed be a great achievement, and it will greatly improve the morale of the bandit squads everywhere.

Maybe Xue Shanglin will be rewarded by the emperor for this.

Xue Shanglin is around fifty years old, in his early years, he was born as a guard, after more than 30 years of hard work, he climbed to the position of Yongzhou Thorn History, and experienced countless winds and waves, no matter how difficult it was, he broke through.

Last year, the disaster and famine in Dayan were serious, hundreds of people fell into the grass, and there were gangsters and Khitan spies who took the opportunity to make trouble, and Xue Shanglin was anxious for a while.

The bandits in Shangluo County were extremely arrogant, first gathering thousands of good men to attack the official warehouse of Shangluo County, and then encircling and suppressing the bandit squad of the imperial court, which was really appalling.

The saint was very dissatisfied with the situation in Shangluo County, and had already removed two Taishou, and the morale of the army in Shangluo County was very low.

Previously, Xue Shanglin had been busy with the security issues of Jingzhao County and Fengyi County, and he had not been able to deal with the problems of Shangluo County, until he received the reprimand of the saint, and Xue Shanglin made up his mind to deal with the bandits on the one-third of an acre of land in Shangluo County.

At the suggestion of the strategist group, Xue Shanglin sent more than a dozen good men to enter Niumao Mountain and infiltrate the Zhuhua Gang, while inquiring about the news, to see if he could sow discord.

It's really giving them a chance.

Niumaoshan is finally in chaos.

After tonight, there will be no more bandits on Niumao Mountain.

"Duan Long, you said that someone had already set fire to it before our people did it, do you know who it was?" Xue Shanglin carefully reviewed the report of his subordinates and found that there were suspicious points in it.

Duan Long replied: "That's true, I haven't figured out who the other party is for the time being, but my subordinates guess that maybe it was the people of the Green Snake Gang who did it, because they have been absorbing the people of the small gang on Niumao Mountain recently, and the methods are very vicious, but this is good, it's cheaper for us, and I don't know how to do it." ”

Xue Shanglin nodded and said, "Gather people, let's go up the mountain, it's time to end all this." ”

Duan Long said in fear: "My lord, such a rough job as exterminating bandits should be handed over to subordinates and others, and adults must not be in danger." ”

Xue Shanglin snorted coldly and said, "I heard that there are masters on Niumao Mountain, and this official really wants to see and understand." ”

After that, the momentum increased sharply, and the blood boiled all over his body, he was originally a military attaché, and his skills reached the middle level of the eighth grade, and he was a first-class master, and Yangzhou Thorn Shi Tang Feihu was equally famous, and he had been stuck in officialdom for many years, and there was rarely a moment of action.

Duan Long had followed Xue Shanglin for many years, and knowing his temper, he didn't say anything to persuade him, and carefully instructed his subordinates to pay attention to the safety of adults.

At this time, it was the end of the Yin period, less than an hour before dawn, and the battle of Niumao Mountain was still continuing.

Since the gangs on the mountain had transferred all the men who were waiting for the mountain pass to participate in the battle, a large number of people from the imperial court took the opportunity to kill and injure the mountain.

Originally, it was the Black Tiger Gang who led people to the Green Snake Gang to ask for an explanation, and then the Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang joined the war group to encircle and suppress the Black Tiger Gang and the Green Snake Gang in the outer circle, and then the people of the imperial court also joined the war group.

The Shanghe Gang and the Bamboo Flower Gang originally wanted to pick up the bargain, but it wasn't until they saw the people of the imperial court that they realized that things were not as simple as they imagined.

It's a pity that it's hard to ride a tiger now.

At this moment, it has become a real chaotic war, everyone is in danger, and they don't know who to fight, and if it continues like this, the gangs in Niumaoshan may really be wiped out.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, Jiang Minglun, and Zhai Changping, who had recovered a little strength, and a group of people hid in the dark to observe the form.

"Grandma, a bear, this scene is too hot, I guess the battlefield in Jizhou is like this, isn't our movement a little too much?" Li Wuchang looked at the corpses all over the ground, and his heart was very shocked.

Zhao Xun sighed: "Even if we don't do it, the imperial court will do it, looking at the situation tonight, we know that they must have been planning for a long time, we just happened to light a fire first." ”

Everyone else nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xun in their hearts.

To be honest, too many people have died, this scene is really shocking, it can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and it must be even more amazing if it is daytime.

The mouth of the Green Snake Gang Village.

Zhu Changlong was covered in the blood of the enemy, and he was very annoyed in his heart.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that because someone deliberately set a few fires, and then the gangs on Niumao Mountain fought and killed each other?

It's just inexplicable.

Damn, a rabble is a rabble, just let people provoke and lose their minds, and if they don't agree with each other, they will do it, without considering the consequences at all, and the final result is to let the people of the court sit and reap the benefits of fishermen.

"Master Pei, we must have fallen for the traitor's scheme, and we can't go on like this. Zhu Changlong quickly regained his composure and thought about his strategy.

Pei He, the reckless man, also realized that the matter was serious, and said anxiously: "What is Mr. Zhu's good plan?"

Zhu Changlong said: "For today's plan, the only way to make peace with the Black Tiger Gang is to join forces against the people of the imperial court." ”

Pei He glanced at the gang members of the Black Tiger Gang who seemed to have gone crazy and the corpses on the ground, and shook his head, although it was a misunderstanding, but the hatred had already been formed, how could it be said that it would be resolved.

Zhu Changlong looked at Pei He's appearance, scolded in his heart, and said loudly: "The three leaders of the Black Tiger Gang, and listen to Zhu someone's words, we have been sowed discord by traitors, and it is not appropriate to continue the infighting now, otherwise, everyone will not end well." ”

Shao Xiong, the third leader of the Black Tiger Gang, was also a violent temper, and scolded fiercely: "Damn, whoever lets you have nothing to do will attack those small gangs, and now let the people of the court kill them, you will be fully responsible." ”

Tan Mo was very calm, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, calm down, now that the people of the imperial court are on the periphery, we can't fight any longer, the Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang are also fucking rice buckets, and they must have been subjected to the discord of the imperial court, and immediately sent someone to make it clear to Qin Lao Ghost and Luo Madman, everyone must give up their past suspicions and unite to fight against the imperial court." ”

Pei He took the opportunity to shout: "Stop it for me." ”

I have to say that what Pei He and Tan Mo said still has a lot of weight, and the two groups of people in the inner circle stopped when they heard this.

Tan Mo said again: "Lao Shao, you quickly and personally bring people to the periphery to order the brothers to stop, and then explain the situation to Old Ghost Qin and Luo Maniac, everyone turns the gun and deals with the people in the court first." ”

Shao Xiong nodded, and then took people down.

After a long time, the talents on Niumao Mountain figured out the situation, and they all stopped, uniting to deal with the people of the imperial court.

It's a pity that this civil war lasted too long, and the Green Snake Gang and the Black Tiger Gang both lost a large number of good players, and the Shanghe Gang and the Bamboo Flower Gang on the periphery were not much better.

Now in the face of the thousands of elites of the outermost imperial court, how can this battle be fought?

Zhu Changlong said: "Now the only way to take out the civilians and court sergeants in the stockade is to threaten the imperial court, and it is estimated that it can be delayed." ”

Pei He shouted: "Come on, bring out all the civilians and the sergeants of the imperial court." ”

"Report to the gang leader, those sergeants were rescued by the mysterious master. "My subordinates report.

"What did you say, rescued it?Why didn't you report it just now?" Pei He was shocked.

"Helper, it was too chaotic just now, everyone was red-eyed, and the subordinates reported it, but you ignored it. The subordinate explained.

"Damn, the people of the court really planned it a long time ago, so arrest those civilians for me, and if there is resistance, kill them on the spot. Pei He said fiercely.

The men were about to pass.

Pei He said again: "Wait, bring more people." ”

Li Wuchang and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, were shocked when they heard this.

Jiang Minglun said anxiously: "Be stunned, hurry up and find a way, otherwise those civilians will probably die." ”

Zhai Changping muttered: "The people of the Green Snake Gang should want to catch those people who are blackmailing the imperial court, and the imperial court should be concerned about their life and death, right?"

Zhao Xun snorted coldly and said, "A great opportunity is in front of you, how can the imperial court give up the plan to destroy the bandits in Niumao Mountain for the sake of just a few hundred civilians?"

When several other people heard this, their faces were a little unnatural.

Is the court really that ruthless?

Li Wuchang frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "Changping, you haven't fully recovered yet, it's not suitable to fight, now you take your brothers to the dense forest behind to hide, and Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun and I will go to rescue the civilians." ”

When Zhai Changping heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Gongzi Li, I'm almost good, I'll go with you." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they all said that they would also go with Li Wuchang to save people.

Li Wuchang shook his head and said, "Don't make trouble, your task now is to hide yourself, it's enough for us to save people, and we'll come to meet you later." ”

After a pause, he instructed: "I emphasize once, if ...... I said that if there is a war going to war, you must protect your own lives, and I will do my best to save those civilians now, and I tell you, if something can't be done, everyone can slip away, and don't do such a strong thing, that will not only not save those civilians, but also take their own lives. ”

Everyone nodded hurriedly, in fact, their internal injuries have not healed yet, and now they have only rested for a while, in case of fighting, self-protection will be a problem, let alone to protect those people.

It's just that everyone is a little uncomfortable in their hearts, those people are innocent after all, and I hope that the court can take care of their life and death.

After everyone had finished their deliberations, they went their separate ways.

Zhai Changping took his seven brothers back to the dense forest in the back mountain to hide, and Jiang Minglun took Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun to the place where civilians were imprisoned.

The Green Snake Gang captured a large number of civilians, all of whom were used as coolies, and now they were all imprisoned in a large open hood, and there were more than 30 gangs guarding outside.

Li Wuchang pulled out a short knife, took the lead, the ghost shadow flashed over, raised his hand is a group-breaking style, and swept down five or six people in an instant, before the guards could react, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun followed, slashing wildly, and knocking down all the remaining guards in a few shots.

The civilians inside the open were awakened and overjoyed to find that someone had come to their rescue.

There was a burst of chirp.

Jiang Minglun shouted: "Be quiet, listen to me, we are here to save you, don't waste your strength to talk now, follow my footsteps, go to the back mountain and dense forest, as long as you dodge for another hour, everyone will be saved." ”

An hour should be enough, and at that time, the people of the imperial court should be able to put down the bandits in Niumao Mountain.

The civilians immediately echoed their words, and they all expressed their absolute obedience to the command, stood up and followed behind Jiang Minglun, their steps seemed to be a little staggering, and they looked like they had not eaten enough, and their legs were weak.

"It's a bit of a lot!" Li Wuchang frowned.

There are at least two hundred civilians.

It's not easy to hide, the dense forest in the back mountain is so big, and there are cliffs of more than 20 zhang at the edge, even with Li Wuchang's light skills, he can't jump up.

Da-da-da-da.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and it seemed that a large number of men were coming, but the civilians were slow.

Li Wuchang shouted: "Hurry up, someone is coming." ”

Exhaled a breath and continued: "Minglun, take them to hide, Brother Xun and I will go over to intercept the comers." ”

After saying that, he nodded to Zhao Xun, and the two of them used their skills and rushed to the place where the footsteps sounded.
