For a time, dialect slang was scolded. Tan Xingde felt a big headache, there are not a few people in the 'Lutang' on the mountain, the rest is sweeping the floor, cooking, managing the warehouse, carrying things and other people, they all have talents and are practical people, but they are also limited to their own work, including the people of 'Lutang', either they don't know martial arts or they have never used people's rookies, and it is much more difficult to mobilize them to fight like soldiers, not only is it far less than Xuanyiwei's people, compared to other brothers who are accustomed to going to the rivers and lakes, are not much better than the battle of the capital, if they lack strategy and tactics and reasonable scheduling, the result will not be much better than the battle of the capital.

Xiong Dan saw that everyone was noisy, and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, how to resist the enemy and listen to what arrangements Master Tan has." "The 'Xuanyi Guard' has always been in charge of the guards of the helm, Xiong Danchi said this, and everyone fell silent for a moment. Tan Xingde just began to make deployment arrangements, and the indignant ones, Hu Yong, the cooks Zhang Dahai and Zhao Feng volunteered to Fengyong to assist the 'Xuanyi Guard' in operating the 'Pai Crossbow', Tan Xingde naturally agreed, and immediately selected some strong and bold ones to supplement, the 'Pai Crossbow' is huge and cumbersome, and the strings are also extremely hard, and it takes several people to work together to pull it, which costs half of the personnel.

After the selection of personnel, Tan Xingde divided the remaining people into three groups, the first group was composed of women, responsible for cooperating with everyone to load the 'crossbow' with arrows, the third group was mostly composed of people who had previously moved stones and placed institutions, led by Tan Punian, responsible for triggering the mechanism and pushing the rolling stones, and the remaining Lang Zhonghe was timid, and the weak body was the second group responsible for rescuing the wounded, carrying and filling arrows, weapons and other necessary things, and the manual work of carrying things should have been done by men, but at the moment, whether it was triggering the mechanism or being responsible for the operation' The crossbows are all dangerous work that requires both physical strength and fighting with the enemy, and this work of carrying and filling the needs of the weapons and rescuing the wounded is already considered a beautiful difference, but fortunately, the arrow weapons have been prepared a lot as early as daytime, and they may not be able to use up, and even the sand and soil that are attacked by the 'Wind and Fire Gate' have prepared a lot of sacks, so Tan Xingde's arrangement is mainly to ask them to rescue the wounded, and then they are prepared, so that there is no time to arrange for emergencies.

In a matter of moments, the manpower arrangements were in place, except for a few who were seriously injured and recuperating at the helm and a few members who were seriously ill, but all the people of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' except Liang Xie and Tan Xingde made arrangements one by one, and even their own families asked them to assist Zhang Dahai and others in loading arrows. Although Ren Jiaxian's body is fine, she has not recovered from her illness after all, and she has not volunteered to be brave and Tan Xingde is not good at arranging work for her. Ren Xiao, as one of the few young and middle-aged men left behind on the mountain, Tan Xingde originally wanted to incorporate him into the command of his father Tan Punian, but seeing this guy's disapproving look, you said that he had ten rebuttals, and before Tan Xingde could arrange it, he threw out 'If you can't win, surrender, anyway, the things on the mountain are not your own theory', which frightened Tan Xingde hurriedly diverted the topic and asked Ren Xiao to take care of his sister instead.

This guy doesn't know if he is brain-dead, or if he thinks that he can survive if he surrenders, or if he thinks that he is a child of an official family, the other party does not dare to do anything to him, and he has no scruples about speaking, Tan Xingde knows that if he lets this guy seize the opportunity to speak, he must incite the army to defeat him before fighting, if the people are really weak, only by beheading this kid can he establish his authority, that is not what he wants.

The division of labor was clear, Xiong Danchi immediately called his 'Xuanyi Guard' to teach everyone how to aim and launch the 'crossbow', how to load arrows, etc., Tan Punian didn't have much to say, took a stick and led everyone to guard the side of the mountain. Xiong Danchi also asked Lang Zhong on the mountain to prepare a lot of detoxification soup to deal with the poisonous powder and poisonous water of the 'Xianwei Gang'.

Everyone was busy with their own care, Xiong Danchi said: "Master Tan, the sky is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, the enemy is gradually darkening, and our side is gradually turning bright, how to find out if there is a way to see the darkness?"

Tan Xingde said: "Deacon Xiong should have a good plan, so I won't say more." ”

Xiong Danchi said: "There is no good plan, there is a stupid way, throw bricks and lead jade, if Master Tan has a better way, he will replace my method." ”

Tan Xingde said: "Deacon Xiong, please speak." ”

Xiong Danchi said: "We suffer a lot of losses by seeing the light and the dark, if the enemy turns from dark to light, it will be easier to get the crossbow arrows accurate, there is not much else on the mountain, but there is a lot of dry firewood, so it will not take much time to wrap it around cotton and soak it in oil to make torches." If a few torches are planted every ten steps on the mountain road, the enemy will have nothing to hide, and the number of torches will increase within the range of our 'Three-String Cloud-Breaking Crossbow', and there will be a considerable price to be paid to help the enemy extinguish the torches. ”

Tan Xingde said: "This is indeed a way, the closer you are to the more torches, the easier it is for us to get accurate, and the stronger our defense will be." Although the torches do not shine as much as the moonlight, it helps us to see the enemy's position early, and the situation is more favorable to us when it is dawn. ”

Xiong Danchi said: "Taking advantage of the darkness to attack is no longer afraid that they will attack in advance." ”

Tan Xingde said: "That's better, it's not bad for us to start the war in advance and have the moonlight shining, if they besiege and don't attack, it will become a situation where we can attack at any time, we don't dare to slack off on defense, and we will be tired after a long time, so they take the initiative." ”

Xiong Danchi said: "We have our concerns, they also have their worries, we are afraid that they will besiege and not attack, they are afraid that our reinforcements will arrive, at this time, the 'Yang Dao Alliance' ninety percent of the combat strength is outside, they have an advantage, the probability of victory is extremely high, if the war is delayed, it is easy to incur variables, if this loses the opportunity, with the left seven fingers of the decision, Huo Wuyang's cunning and ruthless, these hall masters will never have good fruit to eat, so tonight they will attack the mountain." ”

"Hmm. Tan Xingde nodded, dragging out the war is not good for them, and it is even more unfavorable for the enemy.

The two of them summed up slightly, felt that there was no better way for the time being, so they summoned the second group of people to make torches, this torch is extremely simple, only a moment one person can make more than ten torches, many people are easy to do, just a moment of time the ground has been densely filled with hundreds of torches, Xiong Danchi is still afraid that it is not enough, so that everyone continues to make it, the cotton is not enough, so the quilt is not enough to tear off the cloth strip cotton to make torches, there is dry firewood on the mountain, edible oil is a lot of some time ago and recovered a lot, with some asphalt that was originally used to make torches, it is not lacking. After a while, there were thousands of torches, and Xiong Dan gave up later. Immediately let people take torches and light them along the mountain road, and in a moment, there was an extra line of fire on the mountain road, and Xiong Danchi made people carry a few large barrels of oil and put them on the mountainside, and the oil on the torches burned out and added them.

Here to prepare, a pigeon fluttered into the helm yard, Xiong Dan took the note in the bamboo tube late, only to see that it was written on it, 'The carrier pigeon may be intercepted before, the helm may not be in the day or there is an enemy, make preparations early.' Xiong Danchi handed the note to Tan Xingde, Tan Xingde looked at it, the two glanced at each other, and they both secretly shouted luck, at this time the situation is already nine deaths, if you were lazy for a long time, today's situation is probably even this point of vitality will be lost.

Tan Xingde put away the note, and before he could speak, the door of the hall opened, and the three of Eagle, Yin Cang Wolf and Warrior Wolf walked in.

"What's the matter? Is there any change in the enemy at the bottom of the mountain?" Tan Xingde asked, among these people on the mountain, the eagle's light skills are the best, so when he expects the enemy, he is the closest to the enemy, and the news he gets is also accurate and accurate, if it is someone else, even if he gets the news, he may not be able to run back.

"What else can it be? Half-dead, neither beating nor withdrawing, his grandmother's, fighting and grinding, 1,000 or hundreds of people beating dozens of people is still a fart, hurry up and die quickly, die early and reincarnate early. The eagle sat down on the stool, picked up the wine on the table, and took two sips.

Tan Xingde couldn't help laughing and said, "The eagle is still so impatient. ”

Eagle said: "Patience has a fart, I was patient enough to assassinate Wu Gelding last time, but the result is not the same?

This time, Xiong Danchi couldn't help but smile, and Yin Cangwolf said: "The enemy is strong, from the hall master to the gang, everyone is strong, this battle is really not easy to fight." ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, Xiong Danchi said please come in, the door was dark, and a woman slowly walked into the hall, it was Liu Shiyi.

Tan Xingde was stunned and said, "Is there something wrong with Miss Liu?"

Liu Shiyi said: "The care of Master Tan has been comprehended, there are not many people who can do martial arts on the mountain, and one more person will have a better chance of winning, so let's change the job of loading arrows." ”

Tan Xingde hesitated a little and then nodded in agreement, the eagle slapped the table and laughed: "The girl is really heroic, my eagle admires, come, I salute you with this glass of wine." The eagle said as he picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine. Liu Shiyi was not pretentious, and took it and drank it all.

"Refreshing!" The eagle laughed twice again and said: "Don't worry, sister, you drank my eagle's wine, who dares to touch you and my eagle will be the first to fight with him." ”

Liu Shiyi smiled: "Thank you, big brother." Tan Xingde, who watched this scene, shook his head, some time ago, when Wang Wu was going to protect Liang Xie as a media, this eagle still looked down on Liu Shiyi one hundred and twenty, and it was only a few days before he became a sister and a sister was long, and a sister was short.

The eagle stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Shiyi and laughed, Tan Xingde saw that this guy was more and more hurried, the eagle was stunned and hurriedly let go, laughed dryly twice and went to pour wine and Yin

The three of them, the blue wolf and the war wolf, drank.

The eagle looked like he was going home, but Tan Xingde was very unhappy, if the disaster of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' today had nothing to do with them, it was obviously a shameless statement, and the only thing he could do now was to win this battle. But how can this battle be won, don't say that the number is not superior, and there is a lack of first-class masters on the other side, the five hall masters on the other side are all famous for a long time, and the martial arts must not be bad, only themselves and Xiong Danchi may be able to resist it, although the eagle and the wolf are not famous, but the name they broke through when they were young has not improved over the years, and their strength is worse than their own after all, how can they do what they are not sure about? Coupled with the previous palace punishment, although it has recovered now, it is only a recovery from the injury, how to say that this vitality is also a loss, and now if you want to resist the opponent in the master, you can only hope that Li Zhijie can invite Sun Ming to come, with this old man in charge, at least at the master level, he is not weaker than others, and there is a layer, as the master of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' alliance leader, his morale is not comparable to others on the mountain today.

"Master. Li Zhijie's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in. Tan Xingde answered, and Li Zhijie walked into the hall.

"Sun Lao is unwilling?" Tan Xingde saw that Li Zhijie was alone, and he expected to lobby unsuccessfully.

"Well, he advised us to surrender. Tan Xingde sighed and didn't say anything more.

Hearing what the two of them were talking about, the eagle jumped up violently and said angrily: "Old Tan, you go and ask the surnamed Sun for help? If it weren't for him, how could the old wolf and I fall into the hands of Wu Gelding? How could those brothers of the 'Banbu Hall' die tragically? Have you forgotten your previous hatred?"

Tan Xingde said angrily: "Then what do you say to do?"

The eagle was about to say how to say that it was incompatible, and when he looked back, he saw that Xiong Danchi was still there, Sun Ming was Shao Mingqian's master after all, Shao Mingqian took them in, and the murderer's master was not like words, so he changed his words and said: "This bastard, when Brother Liang fell into the hands of Wu Gelding in the capital, he didn't save anyone, and this kind of person didn't even recognize his apprentice and would help us?" Although he did not mention the words of killing Sun Ming, he did not give Shao Mingqian, the leader of the alliance, any face when he spoke.

Tan Xingde smiled bitterly and said, "I originally hoped that he would help for the sake of the two apprentices, Lord Shao and Deacon Liang, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless." Also, with a different position, you shouldn't really expect him to help. ”

"Huh, where is Brother Liang? He doesn't show up for such a big thing?" Tan Xingde said this, and the eagle immediately remembered Liang Xie.

"Deacon Liang should still be practicing in the back mountain. ”

"I'll go find him. The eagle put down the flask.

"Forget it, don't bother him, if the enemy can attack the mountain, it won't be of much use if he has one more, but one more person will die, and we still rely on the equipment to defend the mountain. ”

The eagle didn't say anything, he had to admit that none of them could resist the power of the 'Three-String Cloud Breaking Crossbow'.

Wait, wait, the enemy did not move, and neither did the people of the 'Raising Sword Alliance'. Everyone took their positions, waiting for the imminent battle, and although it was a rabble, almost everyone was not afraid, and the cook regarded death as if he were at home, and only waited for the other to move and give him an arrow. 'Meow', an orange cat stuck over, looked up at Zhang Dahai and barked, Zhang Dahai touched the cat's head, touched the cat's ears and turned them up, the cat shook its head vigorously, turned its ears over again, looked at Zhang Dahai and barked again.

"What are you here to make a fuss, and when you kill these turtles, grandpa will get you pig's head meat to eat. Zhang Dahai comforted the cat, and the cat 'meowed' twice, Zhang Dahai was afraid that he would not be able to take care of it after a while, so he even urged and scared the cat away from it.

'Toot ~~~~~' a horn sounded, the mountains were shocked, the eagle didn't have time to say anything, Huo Di stood up, Tan Xingde's face was solemn, and he took the lead out of the hall.

The coolness hits you, the mountain wind turns, and the enemy moves.

"Can't afford it at last?" Tan Xingde said to himself.
