Mr. Yangui

Chapter 142 Chapter [-] The situation is critical

Xue Shanglin, governor of Yongzhou, stood at the foot of Niu Mao Mountain, far away, the flames on the mountain were soaring into the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing could be heard endlessly, one could predict the situation of the battle on the mountain and its brutality.

There was a sneer at the corner of Xue Shanglin's mouth, and he said lightly: "The gang of dudes on Niu Mao Mountain really think that the court can't do anything about them, it's ridiculous."

Duan Long, the guard standing beside him, coughed lightly, and took the opportunity to flatter him: "Master Xue, looking at the situation, all the bandits in Niu Mao Mountain will definitely be wiped out before midnight. grown up."

If we can wipe out all the bandits on Niu Mao Mountain this time, it will indeed be a great achievement, and it will greatly improve the morale of the bandit suppression teams everywhere.

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

Xue Shanglin was in his fifties, and he was a bodyguard in the early years. After more than 30 years of hard work, he climbed to the position of governor of Yongzhou.

Last year, there was a severe famine in Dayan, countless people turned into bandits, and Jianghu gangsters and Khitan spies took the opportunity to make trouble. Xue Shanglin was once devastated.

The bandits in Shangluo County were extremely arrogant. First they gathered thousands of masters to attack the official warehouses in Shangluo County, and then they encircled and suppressed the imperial court's bandit suppression squad. It was really appalling.

The Holy Majesty is very dissatisfied with the situation in Shangluo County. He has replaced two prefects, and the morale of Shangluo County's army is very low.

Prior to this, Xue Shanglin had been busy with the public security issues in Jingzhao County and Fengyi County, and had been unable to deal with the problems in Shangluo County. It was not until he received the reprimand from the Holy Majesty that Xue Shanglin made up his mind to settle the three-acre situation in Shangluo County. Divide the bandits on the ground.

Under the advice of the advisor group, Xue Shanglin sent more than a dozen experts to infiltrate Niu Mao Mountain and infiltrate the Zhuhua Gang to inquire about news and see if they can sow discord.

It really gave them a chance.

Niu Maoshan was in chaos at last.

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

"Duan Long, you said that someone set the fire before our men did it. Do you know who it is?" Xue Shanglin thought carefully about his subordinate's report and found some doubts in it.

Duan Long replied: "That's true. I haven't figured out who the opponent is yet, but my subordinates speculate that it may be the people from the Green Snake Gang, because they have been absorbing the hands of the small gang on Niu Mao Mountain recently, and their methods are very vicious. , but this is also good, it’s cheaper for us, and we didn’t know how to do it.”

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

Duan Long panicked and said: "My lord, it's better to leave the rough work of killing bandits to the subordinates and others. Your lord must not put yourself in danger."

Xue Shanglin snorted coldly and said: "I heard that there are so many masters on Niu Mao Mountain, I really want to see and see."

After all, his aura increased sharply, and his blood was boiling. He was originally a military officer, and his skill reached the middle level of the eighth rank. He is a first-class master, and he is as famous as Tang Feihu, the governor of Yangzhou. At this moment, I suddenly became very excited and wanted to take care of the bandit leader myself.

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

It was the end of Yin time, less than an hour before dawn, and the battle on Niu Mao Mountain was still going on.

Because the gang on the mountain transferred all the people waiting for the mountain pass to join the war, a large number of people from the imperial court took the opportunity to kill the mountain.

Originally, it was the Black Tiger Gang who led people to the Green Snake Gang to discuss an explanation, then the Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang joined forces and joined the battle group to encircle and suppress the members of the Black Tiger Gang and the Green Snake Gang in the outer circle, and then the people of the imperial court also joined forces. Join the fray.

The Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang originally wanted to take advantage of it, but they didn't realize that things were not as simple as they imagined until they saw the people of the imperial court.

It's a pity that it's hard to get off now.

Now it has turned into a real chaotic war, everyone is in danger, and they don't know who to fight. If this continues, the gang in Niu Maoshan may really be wiped out.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, Jiang Minglun and Zhai Changping, who had regained some strength, hid in the dark to observe the situation.

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

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

Everyone else nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xun's opinion.

To be honest, too many people died. This scene is really shocking. It can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It would be even more shocking if it was during the day.

The entrance to the village of the Green Snake Gang.

Zhu Changlong's body was covered with the blood of the enemy, and he was very upset.

what is the problem?

Is it because someone deliberately set a few fires, and then the gangs on Niu Mao Mountain fought and killed each other?
Simply inexplicable.

Damn it, mobs are mobs, they will lose their minds at the slightest provocation, and they will act at the slightest disagreement without considering the consequences.

"Master Pei, we must have been tricked by the villain, we can't go on like this." Zhu Changlong quickly regained his composure, thinking about his strategy.

Pei and the reckless man also realized that the matter was serious, and asked anxiously: "What good plan does Mr. Zhu have?"

Zhu Changlong said: "For the current plan, the only way is to make peace with the Black Tiger Gang first, and then join forces to fight against the imperial court."

Pei He glanced at the members of the Black Tiger Gang who seemed to have gone mad and the dead bodies on the ground, and shook his head. Although it was a misunderstanding, the hatred had already been forged, so how could it be resolved as soon as it was said to be resolved.

Zhu Changlong looked at Pei He's appearance, cursed in his heart, and said loudly: "The three heads of the Black Tiger Gang, let's listen to someone Zhu, we have been tricked by the traitor, and it is not appropriate to continue the internal affairs now." Keep fighting, otherwise, everyone will end badly."

Shao Xiong, the third head of the Black Tiger Gang, was also violent, and cursed fiercely: "Damn it, whoever told you to have nothing to do would attack those small gangs. Now that the people from the imperial court have killed them, you have to take full responsibility."

Tan Mo was very calm, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, calm down, the people from the imperial court are on the periphery now, we can't fight anymore, those people from the Shanghe Gang and the Zhuhua Gang are fucking idiots, and they must have been alienated by the imperial court." So, immediately send someone to make it clear to Old Ghost Qin and Crazy Luo that everyone must put aside their previous suspicions and unite against the imperial court."

Pei He took the opportunity to shout, "Stop it all."

It has to be said that what Pei He and Tan Mo said was very important, and the two groups of people in the inner circle stopped their efforts after hearing the words.

Tan Mo said again: "Old Shao, hurry up and take people to the periphery and order the brothers to stop, and then explain the situation to Old Ghost Qin and Crazy Luo. Everyone turn their guns and deal with the court people first."

Shao Xiong nodded, and then led the people down.

After a long time, the people on Niu Mao Mountain figured out the situation, all stopped, and united to deal with the people of the court.

It's a pity that this civil war lasted for too long. Both the Green Snake Gang and the Black Tiger Gang lost a large number of experts, and the peripheral Shanghe Gang and Bamboo Flower Gang were not much better.

Now facing thousands of elites from the outermost imperial court, how can we fight this battle?
Zhu Changlong said: "Now the only way to do this is to take out the civilians and court sergeants in the village to threaten the court. I think it will last a while."

Pei He shouted: "Come here, bring out all the civilians and imperial soldiers."

"Report to the lord, those sergeants were rescued by mysterious masters." The subordinates reported.

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

"Guard leader, it was too chaotic just now, everyone was jealous, and the subordinate reported it, but you ignored it." The subordinate explained.

"Damn it, the people of the imperial court really planned it long ago, so I will arrest those civilians, and if they resist, they will be killed on the spot." Pei He said fiercely.

The men were about to go over.

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

Li Wuchang and others who were hiding in the dark were shocked when they heard the words.

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

Zhai Changping murmured: "The members of the Green Snake Gang should be trying to catch those people and threaten the court. The court should be concerned about their life and death, right?"

Zhao Xun snorted coldly and said: "The great opportunity is in front of us, how could the imperial court give up the plan to wipe out the bandits in Niu Mao Mountain just for the sake of a few hundred civilians?"

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

Is the imperial court really that ruthless?

Li Wuchang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Chang Ping, you haven't fully recovered yet, it's not suitable for fighting, now you take your brothers to hide in the dense forest behind, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun and I will rescue the civilians. "

Hearing this, Zhai Changping raised his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I'm almost done. I'll go with you."

The rest of the people heard the words, and expressed that they would also go to rescue people with Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang shook his head and said: "Don't make trouble, your task now is to hide yourself well, and we are enough to save people, and we will come to join you later."

After a pause, he asked: "I want to emphasize this once, if... I said that if the war is going to start later, you must protect your own lives. I am going to save those civilians now, and I will do my best to obey the destiny. Let me tell you , If something cannot be done, everyone can slip away as soon as they can, and don’t do such a strong thing, that will not only fail to save those civilians, but also risk their own lives.”

Everyone nodded hurriedly. In fact, their internal injuries have not healed yet, and they only rested for a while now. If a fight breaks out, self-protection will be a problem, let alone protect those people.

It's just that everyone feels a little uncomfortable. After all, those people are innocent. I hope the court can take their life and death into consideration.

After discussing with everyone, we split up.

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

The Green Snake Gang captured a lot of civilians, all of them were used as coolies, and now they are all detained in a big open tent, guarded by more than [-] gang members outside.

Li Wuchang drew out his dagger, took the lead, and the Ghost Shadow Step flashed over. He raised his hand in a group-breaking gesture, and instantly knocked down five or six people. Before the guards could react, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun followed, chopping wildly After a few encounters, all the remaining guards were knocked down.

The civilians inside the hood woke up with a start, and were overjoyed to find that someone had come to rescue them.

There was a chirping sound.

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

An hour should be enough, and the court's troops should be able to deal with the bandits in Niu Maoshan.

The civilians immediately echoed their words and expressed their absolute obedience to the command. They stood up and followed Jiang Minglun, their footsteps seemed a little staggering. It seemed that they hadn't eaten enough and their legs were weak.

"There are too many people!" Li Wuchang frowned.

There are at least 200 civilians.

It's not easy to hide, the dense forest in the back mountain is so big, and there are cliffs of more than [-] feet on the edge, even with Li Wuchang's light work, he can't jump up.

Da da da.

Hasty footsteps sounded, and it seemed that a large number of people were rushing over, but the speed of the civilians was very slow.

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

Exhaling a breath, he continued: "Ming Lun, take them to hide, Brother Xun and I will go over and stop the people coming."

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