Chapter 107: The Final Trial of Black Wind Village
Speaking of the tradition of Jingxiang Academy, students are about to complete their graduation and have to undergo a final trial, as a demonstration of students' ability to learn in Jingxiang Academy's three-year learning results.
The twenty-fourth tooth battalion, the final trial task assigned is: to conquer the Black Wind Village.
Black Wind Village, as the name suggests, is a cottage, however, it is not an ordinary cottage, this is a group of grass robbers who have been active in Jurong City for a long time under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, especially in Lingyun Town, which is the most rampant, and the mountain gate of Black Wind Village is located in the northwest of Lingyun Town.
The city lord of Jurong City has organized the captains of several military towns such as Lingyun Town under his rule several times to encircle and suppress, but unfortunately the terrain of Heifeng Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and several encirclements and suppressions have finally ended hastily or without a problem, and have never been able to completely eradicate this grass turmoil.
There are even rumors that the owner of the Black Wind Village is a master of the Peiji period, which is unique among the grass bandits, not to mention that there are dozens of cronies and brothers in the third phase of Qi cultivation under his hands, as well as thousands of copycat bandits who lick blood from the knife edge. With such strength, Heifeng Village deserves to sit firmly in the top spot of Jingxiang Country.
It's just that Wang Ruoli looked at the information of Heifeng Village, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, with the thousands of sergeants under a few captains, he still couldn't step on a group of rabble led by a master of the Peiji period? Why did several encirclements and suppressions end in failure, and when did the combat strength of the sergeants of Jingxiangguo become so poor?
What's more, Lingyun Town is still a special military town, because Lingyun Mountain, where the Lingyun faction is located, is located in Lingyun Town. It can also be seen from this that the Lingyun faction is inactive, and it is indifferent to watch the Black Wind Village as the victim.
The more Wang Ruoli thought about it, the more confused he became, was this really a trial in Jingxiang Academy? Or was it a deliberate test of leading troops by the people above?
After receiving the military order, Wang Ruoli hurriedly bid farewell to the city lord of Jurong City and took the No. 24 Tooth Camp on the road.
A group of ten riders, leisurely galloping on the official road.
"Time flies, and the three-year school palace business is about to come to an end. Feng Xiaoxia rode a high-headed horse, his thoughts fluttered, and he suddenly sighed, "Brothers, what are your plans for the future?"
"No need to plan, I think that in the near future, I'll become the 'Three Great Swordsmen in the Jingxiang Army'. Yu Duqiu and Lai Fengsheng laughed and said.
"According to what you say, where do you want to put me, the Yingshan swordsman?" Wang Yingshan pretended to have a cold face.
"What Brother Yingshan said is very true!" Yu Duqiu immediately said with interest, "At that time, it will be the 'Four Great Swordsmen in the Jingxiang Army', hahaha......"
"If you want me to say, I want to return to Xishui City, be the captain of Wangshan Town, and glorify the lintel of my old Li family. Li Dazhu gestured with a shy face, and looked forward to it, "From childhood to adulthood, I have looked at the momentum and pomp of the captain, not to mention how envious I am." ”
"Cut! Everyone despised it in unison, "Ping'an, Shi Niu, what about the two of you?"
"I ...... I wanted to get a military position and buy more land so that my father could live in his old age. Xiang Ping'an was a little vague.
"Well, there is only one thing in my heart, that is, to go back in style, and then marry Xiaohua as a wife. Shi Niu said, his face flushed.
"You guys, to put it mildly, you all return to your hometown in fine clothes, and you have a wife and a son, unlike me......" Feng Xiaoxia continued hesitantly, "...... I'm the same! I want to bow to the general, be titled, and then return to Mingfeng Valley with an army of 100,000 to replace the next valley master. ”
"As long as you have the ability to shrimp, you dare to boast! I still want to take a million troops back to Qinan, step on the Luan chair, and tell the old man that I am the next ruler of Qinan Kingdom. Hu Buxiu unhappily raised his voice and criticized.
"Hahaha......" everyone burst into laughter, "Hit! Hit back!"
"Jinglun, what about you, what are your plans for the future?" Wang Ruoli asked with a smile and turned around.
"I didn't think about it. Ruan Jinglun smiled simply, "I just want to follow Brother Li'er all the time, if Brother Li'er wants to fight the world, I will follow Brother Li'er to fight the world together, hehe!"
"That's a good idea, and it's one of mine. Li Dazhu next to him pouted and raised his hand in praise.
"Yes, boss, what is your goal?" Feng Xiaoxia asked with great interest, rolling his eyes.
"I, my goal is extremely great, extremely noble, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have reached the pinnacle. Wang Ruoli looked ahead with a solemn face, and after a long pause, he pretended to be deep and said, "I want to become the number one powerhouse in the Shenyuan Continent." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't restrain themselves anymore, and coughed and laughed for a while.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"The boss deserves to be the boss, this goal is ...... It's great!"
"From now on, we will all be brothers of the strongest man in the Shenyuan Continent. ”
"Hahaha......"
......
A group of people, along the way, talked and laughed towards Lingyun Town.
In this encirclement and suppression of Heifeng Village, in addition to the No. 24 Tooth Battalion, the military also transferred Le Yongxing, the captain of Lingyun Town, Jian Yong, the captain of Anxiang Town, and Gao Shiqi, the captain of Qingping Town, under the rule of Jurong City, and the three of them led the troops to assist the Jingxiang students.
In addition, there are 30 children sent by the three major families to practice, led by Wang Ruoqing, Sima Zhi, and Xie Linghua respectively.
That night, gathered in the tooth tent, Wang Ruoli, as the commander-in-chief of the encirclement and suppression of Heifeng Village, sat in the middle, on the left hand side were the remaining nine people of the twenty-fourth tooth camp, and on the right hand side were the three school captains and the three family leaders.
Wang Ruoli looked around at the people in the tent, pointed to a half-zhang square topographic map of Heifeng Mountain spread out in the tent, and said with a mixture: "Everyone gathers in Lingyun Town for only one purpose, that is, to conquer Heifeng Village. ”
Everyone cast their expectant glances, waiting for Wang Ruoli to continue.
"It's better to see than to hear. Wang Ruoli spoke lightly, and looked at the three captains, "The three captains have all participated in the previous encirclement and suppression of the Black Wind Village, if you can't leave it, I would like to ask the three of you to talk about what is difficult about this Black Wind Village?"
"Young Master Wang!" Lingyun Town Captain Le Yongxing stood up first, sincere and serious, "Black Wind Mountain, the mountain is steep, and the Black Wind Village Grass Kou is defending with danger, it is really difficult to attack. Among them, these three passes along the road are the most tricky, thorny forests, first-line streams, and black wind cliffs. As he spoke, he pointed to three places on the topographic map with the fingers of his right hand.
"That's right, for example, the thorn forest, the whole forest is dense, full of thorn bushes, and there are countless traps set by the grass in it. The previous few times I forcibly broke into the thorn forest, because I was not familiar with the terrain, I always lost my troops, and I fought with the grass robbers in the forest, which was even more restrictive. Jian Yong, the captain of Anxiang Town, also stood up and said in a harmonious voice.
"There is also a line of streams, flowing through the deep stream of the Black Wind Mountain Gorge, four or five miles long, only a single feasible stone road through the wall leads to the canyon cliff, it is really a pass, ten thousand people can not open. Gao Shiqi, the captain of Qingping Town, then analyzed.
"Finally, this Black Wind Cliff is the only gateway to enter the Black Wind Village, and it is a steep stone wall, towering and high, leading directly to the top of the clouds, and it is an excellent place for soldiers to set up ambushes. Le Yongxing added, "The previous encirclement and suppression, all of which were in the middle of the march, lost most of them, and had no choice but to withdraw." ”
"Moreover, the master of the Black Wind Village is like a god, and every time he can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, he will win by surprise, causing heavy losses to our army. Several lieutenants said one after another.
"In my opinion, why didn't you ask the army to collect it in the first place and pacify this grass in one fell swoop. Sima Zhi on the side was a little puzzled after hearing this.
"If it's just a grass coquette, we have to invite a general to sit in the town and collect it, then we, the lieutenants of the military town, can directly disarm and return to the field. A few lieutenants were a little embarrassed.
"It's better to set fire to the mountain. Wang Ruoqing blinked and said, "Caokou has no place to rely on, so he is naturally powerless to resist." ”
"This is not an appropriate law. Wang Ruoli touched his chin and looked at Wang Ruoqing with a hint of a smirk, "If you set fire to the mountain, with our 3,000 soldiers and horses, scatter the surrounding Black Wind Mountain, and the troops are insufficient, you will not be able to prevent the other party's breakthrough at all, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, burn this Black Wind Village, there will be a second and third Black Wind Village, and burn the mountains and forests, it will hurt the heavens and the peace, and it cannot be used without permission until the last resort." ”
"Well, if the brother of the Li clan teaches a lesson. The corners of Wang Ruoqing's mouth looked back at Wang Ruoli with a smile.
"You can be relieved, although the Black Wind Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with our three thousand armor soldiers, stepping on a Black Wind Village, it is not easy to capture. Wang Ruoli hastily ended the first discussion, "Tonight, the three captains will go back, prepare for the battle, and gather in front of the tent tomorrow morning." ”
Although everyone in the tent was a little confused, it was not easy to interrupt Wang Ruoli, who seemed to be in high spirits at this time, so he could only withdraw from the tent one after another according to his words.
"Brother Li, I haven't discussed a plan yet, why did you let it go?" Ruan Jinglun hesitated a few steps and walked over, a little puzzled.
"I didn't expect to get any countermeasures, and no matter how much I said, it was nonsense. Wang Ruoli immediately beckoned the people of Tooth Camp No. 24 to come forward and commanded in a low voice, "We will do this tonight...... That'......"
