Heishui Mountain is located on the banks of the Heishui River. Tongzhou has many mountains, and Heishui Mountain is just one of them. It is not big, but there is no good road around it. Even if there are some roads, it is rough and difficult. Now it is winter again, there is mostly snow, and the road is extremely difficult to walk. A heavy snow just fell a few days ago, and Heishui Mountain is shrouded in heavy snow. There is a layer of snow on the bare branches. If Looking at it during the day, it is still a vast expanse of whiteness, which is quite natural. If you don't go into the mountains, it is really hard to know that there is a stockade in Heishui Mountain.

Chu Huan's team left Tongzhou City and headed north all the way. When they reached the fork in the road, they turned to the road on the right, which was to attack the left side of Heishui Mountain.

Leaving at dusk, Pan Fu urged along the way, even the general did not ride a horse for this operation, but trotted forward with the soldiers.

The Heishui River is actually not far from Tongzhou City, but the Heishui River is very long, and the Heishui Mountain is some distance away, and the night is dark. Fortunately, the Imperial Guards are specially trained to travel at night, and they do not light torches, leading the way , followed one after another.

Chu Huan was physically fit. Although he had exhausted a lot of energy during the trot all the way, he was still able to walk forward. After midnight, the sky was almost dawn, and a large white mountain appeared in the distance.

Pan Fu pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "That's it, everyone, be careful, don't let those bandits find our tracks!" Then he gave the order to go down, trot instead of slow, and approach the Black Water Mountain.

The five hundred soldiers were really exhausted after a night of rapid marching. If they hadn't slept all day during the day and were full of pork, many of them might not have survived here.

Only ten miles away from Heishui Mountain, there are almost no roads. The ground is broken and rocky, making it extremely difficult to walk. After walking for a while, Pan Fu ordered the soldiers to stop, and then said in a deep voice: "Brothers, we are not competing with our feet tonight. It's about who's knife is faster!"

The soldiers were not short of smart people. Wei Tianqing said that it was a matter of foot strength, and he believed it at first, but during the rapid march overnight, many people already guessed that they might be planning a surprise attack, but after all, only a small number of them guessed. Some people are still very surprised.

Pan Fu pointed to the Heishui Mountain not far ahead, and said: "On that mountain, there is a group of bandits entrenched. The exact number is not clear, but Ding Po Tian only has one or two hundred people. Our force is ten times that of They. Originally, the Tongzhou Camp would be able to deal with the little bandits, but in order to train everyone in actual combat and let everyone have a chance to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, we let us do this errand by ourselves." His expression froze. , In the dark night, holding the saber, he said in a deep voice: "Brothers, this time to suppress the bandits, we must go all out and show the prestige of our imperial guards. If they let one of them leak, we can't be called elite soldiers. After approaching, be careful and try not to disturb the people on the mountain. We will kill them by surprise... Listen to this general's order, and after you make a move, you will live if you can. Otherwise, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as you dare to resist... kill No pardon!"

His expression was stern, and his voice carried a burst of arrogance.

At that moment, Pan Fu replaced Chu Huan and several other guards and generals, and each led the soldiers to spread out and fanned towards the Black Water Mountain. Touch over there.

Five hundred soldiers spread out in a fan shape, like ghosts wandering at dawn, each of them drew their swords in their hands, with a murderous look on their faces, approaching the foot of the mountain silently.

It didn't take too long, five hundred sergeants had already touched the foot of Heishui Mountain. On this Heishui Mountain was a dense forest of trees, standing like spears soaring into the sky.

According to the prior deployment, except for the 300 people from Heishuijiang behind the mountain who were lying in ambush there and did not participate in the attack, the other three-way sergeants would attack the mountain at the same time.

So after arriving at the foot of the mountain, the five hundred soldiers lay prone on the ground and did not attack immediately.

Pan Fu sat on the edge of a rock, waited for a long time, looked up at the sky, the sky was gradually getting brighter, he only wished to lead his army to kill it immediately, but the news from Wei Tianqing hadn't come yet, and there was no confirmation Before Heishui Mountain is completely surrounded, you must not act rashly.

According to the estimation of the route, Wei Tianqing's team came from the front and should be the first to arrive.

Fat Liu was by Chu Huan's side at this time. He was rather fat, and he had exhausted a lot of energy after running all night. Fortunately, his body was solid, and he was able to recover after stopping to rest for a while.

"My lord, if we really run into children later and they fight back, are we really going to kill them?" Fat Liu was always puzzled by such a question, and asked Chu Huan in a low voice.

Chu Huan looked calm at this time, turned his head to look at Fat Liu, and asked, "If you can't even beat a child, why do you still want to kill bandits?"

Fat Liu blushed, nodded and said: "Your Excellency, I understand." Looking up to the mountain, the dense trees cover many things, and he couldn't see what was going on on the mountain for a while, so he muttered softly: " This is a place where dogs don't shit, how did the bandits choose such a place!"

Naturally, no one answered his words.

Pan Fu waited for a while, and finally a person came over with a small hourglass in his hand. The person bent over and approached, and said in a low voice, "General Pan Lang, the young one was sent by Master Zhi!"

"Have they all arrived?" Pan Fu asked hastily.

The man put the hourglass in his hand on a stone. At this time, there was not much sand in the hourglass, and he said softly: "General Pan Lang, Master Commander will send people to the left and right wings at the same time, and the younger ones will come and tell you that the sand in the hourglass If the leakage is exhausted, we can start attacking on the mountain.”

Pan Fu nodded and said, "Understood!" Staring at the hourglass, there was not much left.

In this era, there are no watches, and it is impossible to check the time, and it is impossible to make a phone call. Generally speaking, rockets are fired into the sky as an offensive signal, but tonight's siege, if you are caught off guard, naturally you can't launch rockets, so that the bandits on the mountain have beware.

While waiting for the hourglass, Pan Fu seemed to have been waiting for a thousand years. When the sand was completely drained, Pan Fu was shocked. He was the first to stand up and jump on a big rock. Although the five hundred soldiers were all lying on the ground, But he could see Pan Fu's figure, and seeing Pan Fu swinging his sword, the five hundred soldiers bowed together from the foot of the mountain and touched up the mountain without any hesitation.

Chu Huan led dozens of soldiers on the left into the forest. Not only were there towering trees in the forest, but also there were many strange rocks on the ground, which were extremely difficult to climb.

Chu Huan held the knife, Fat Liu was close to him, the soldiers kept silent like ghosts, and on the entire Heishui Mountain, except for the cold wind blowing by their ears, there was hardly a trace of other sounds.

This strange silence, on the contrary, gave Chu Huan a strange feeling.

The chairs of the five hundred soldiers were pulled away, like a knife being pushed up the mountain, and after climbing for a while, Chu Huan could vaguely see groups of black shadows on the mountain, which seemed to be buildings.

From this point of view, the news is indeed correct, there is indeed a gang of bandits entrenched in this Black Water Mountain.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard commotion from the right. Chu Huan frowned, and saw a figure flickering not far from the right. It seemed that something happened. The soldier sank suddenly like a stone, and Chu Huan was startled when he heard a scream. He quickly stepped forward and rushed over, but saw a small deep pit in front of him. Falling into the pit, and then looking into the pit with the faint morning light, Chu Huan couldn't help frowning, his face changed color.

I saw that the soldier had already been pierced by several bamboo thorns, blood was dripping on the bamboo thorns, one of the bamboo thorns pierced the soldier's throat, the soldier's eyes were wide open, his face was in pain, his body was still twitching, But after only a few twitches, he stopped moving.

"There is a trap!" Chu Huan immediately realized in his heart.

Before he thought about it, he heard screams coming from left and right. There was no doubt that many soldiers had already stepped into the trap. This kind of trap was very vicious, and as long as they fell, they would surely die.

"Everyone be careful!" The soldiers were terrified by the continuous screams, Chu Huan said in a deep voice, "There are traps on the mountain, be careful!"

Chu Huan clenched the big knife in his hand and was shocked. He moved closer and knelt on the edge of the trap. He looked at the four walls of the pit and frowned. He thought that these traps were set up by Heishuishan long ago. , but at this time, looking at the surrounding area of ​​the earth wall, there is new soil, which means that the trap was dug out recently, maybe it was a trap that was buried in the past two days.

If this is the case, Chu Huan has to suspect that the bandits in Heishuishan already knew about the attack of the officers and soldiers, but the action of the imperial guards can be said to be extremely confidential. The level only got the news yesterday evening, and the soldiers only received the order to attack the Black Water Village not long ago. How could the people in the Black Water Village know about such a secret military operation, and even set up the trap early?

Chu Huan thought it was unbelievable, and suddenly heard several screams, very miserable, Fat Liu showed anger, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, these bandits are cruel and vicious...!"

Chu Huan looked serious. It seemed that the siege and suppression of Heishui Mountain would never be as easy as imagined.

The appearance of the trap and the tragic death of their comrades did not make the Janissary soldiers timid. Although it also caused a panic, the well-trained Janissaries quickly calmed down. The blood of their companions aroused the soldiers' hatred. Grasp the big knife tightly and speed up the climb up the mountain.

Chu Huan turned back and told his subordinates to be cautious every step forward. Since there were already traps here, there might be more traps on the mountain.

No trace of the enemy was seen, but there were many casualties first. This gang of bandits is definitely not easy to deal with.
