Chapter 76 0072 [Standing behind Bloom]

Heifengzhai, the meeting hall.

The atmosphere is dignified.

The original nine chiefs experienced internal strife and night raids, but now only three of them died.

There are dozens of elite old thieves, and there are only 14 left.

Yang Ying fled back to Heifengzhai in panic, and immediately rewarded money in order to stabilize people's hearts.From among the leaders, the leader was urgently promoted, and at least nine of them were gathered.

Even Bai Fude, who had narrowly escaped death, became the little bandit leader because of his strong body and bravery.He was in charge of managing ten households of peasants, and from among these peasants, he selected strong men to form a training team, always on guard against the government's conquest.

"If the officers and soldiers don't come today, they will surely arrive tomorrow," Yang Ying asked. "Are all the young and strong going up the mountain?"

The newly promoted second head is actually Yang Ying's son, who is only 16 years old this year.He hurriedly got up and said, "Father, all the young and strong have entered the village. It's just...just..."

"Say!"

A group of bandits were brought before Zhu Ming.

The old thief gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "When the officers and soldiers approach, we will stab them to death. We stand higher, and there is an earth wall blocking it, so it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to come over!"

At this moment, besides Yang Ying, there are only two old people left in the top nine positions.

Killing the tiger's mouth is the most dangerous place, and only two people can go side by side.There are cliffs on both sides, and the bandits can still smash rocks directly on the left cliff, and the door panels can't stop the attack from above.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

Those with minor injuries can stay. After all, Zhu Ming still needs people to farm.

However, it could only slow down the advancing speed of the officers and soldiers, and all the rolling stones were blocked by the door panels.

The Tian family brothers who once took in Ju Ming are also in the team now.They used to be responsible for keeping an eye on the riverside. Although they didn't take part in the battle, they were still old thieves and should be promoted to the leader.But they have friendship with Zhang Guangdao, and they are still small soldiers at the moment, and they will definitely not be sent to guard dangerous places.

Yang Ying raised the spear and shouted: "Follow me to kill officers and soldiers!"

Even if the tiger comes, he must die here!
Chen Ziyi led his troops all the way to kill, seeing such a dangerous terrain, no matter how courageous he was, he did not dare to attack by force.

The leaders said yes one after another, but their tone was rather perfunctory.If they hadn't been able to guard against danger, they would have run away long ago.

They defend the first card and are able to stand three abreast.On both sides of the road, there are steep hillsides with many traps.

Yang Ying lay in ambush above their heads, and was furious when she heard the words: "Throw the falling stone down!"

Chen Ziyi followed with the spearman, and instantly occupied the waist wall, and the officers and soldiers were condescending instead.

Not far from the Tian family brothers, Bai Fude flaunted his strength and said: "The officers and soldiers are very weak. They are all archers. I have seen them in the county. As long as you guard the mountain road, if a stone rolls down, the officers and soldiers will all be scared and run away!"

The officers and soldiers stopped attacking, and the bandits became lively.

"Puff puff!"

Kill Yang Ying and support the son of the former village owner Yang Jun as the leader!

Zhu Ming singled out two thieves: "Go over and shout, don't be too far away, I'm afraid the other side won't be able to hear you."

The two bandits moved forward tremblingly, and when they got close, they did not persuade them to surrender, but anxiously shouted: "Let me go!"

Erdangjia bit the bullet and said: "It's just that the morale is not very good, and the drill is not good. The boy thinks that there should be more rewards."

No matter how upset you are in your heart, you must work together, otherwise, if the stockade is breached by officers and soldiers, no one will be able to please anyone.

Zhu Ming said to the rest of the bandit captives: "You spread the word in the past, saying that surrender can save your life. Those who help the officers and soldiers in the war can keep their land. Those who kill Yang Ying will be rewarded! Do you remember it?"

The door panel was pressed forward with a bang, the sword and shield hand lost its balance, and fell down along with the door panel.

At this time, not only the two sword and shield hands pressed forward vigorously, but also several spearmen behind them also helped.The spearman used his spear against the top of the door panel, and shouted a chant to exert force together.

The door panel that fell down fell on the low dirt wall in front, and also suppressed the bandit's two spears.At the same time, the door panel just set up an offensive channel, and officers and soldiers could rush up to the earth wall along the door panel.

They were originally the leaders, needless to say, they have always refused to accept Yang Ying.

The two swords and shields pressed the door panel with their hands, and moved forward with all their strength.

This guy strode out, and the leaders could only keep up.

"Come on, come on, officers and soldiers are coming up!"

Because Yang Ying did too much, he promoted his son to the second position.But the eldest son of the village owner, Yang Jun, only sits in the third place.Even the person in charge of the tea mountain has changed, Yang Ying couldn't wait, and wanted to swallow her brother's tea mountain—the bones of the owner of the village are not cold!
The middle-level leader, Yang Ying, also promotes more cronies, and even promotes directly from the peasant households.Some old thieves were rejected instead, just because they were Yang Jun's confidantes.

Yang Ying scolded.

Before the old thief could react, he saw two bamboos with branches poking towards him, and there were spears attached to the front of the bamboos.

Chen Ziyi led the team as a striker. When he saw a rolling stone in front of him, he immediately shouted: "Drop the door!"

After the bandits repeated it several times, Zhu Ming gave the order to act.

There are also some young and strong people who were taken to guard the various places on the top of the mountain to prevent officers and soldiers from climbing and sneaking.

The two bandits were embarrassed there, so they had to bite the bullet and shouted to the opposite side: "The military master said that surrender can save your life. Those who help the officers and soldiers in the war can keep their land. Those who kill Yang Ying will be rewarded!"

The two sword and shield hands lying on the door panel hurriedly rolled away to the sides, and they were pulled by the rope wrapped around their wrists to keep them from rolling down the hillside.After they got out of the way, the wolf master immediately stepped on the door panel and rushed towards the low dirt wall with a flurry of stabs.

"Report!"

It's like Braum activated the E skill, and the soldiers behind him were protected.The stone rolled down and hit the door panel, but it had no effect at all, it only made a mark on the door panel.

The thieves held spears and simple knives, and kept stabbing at the door.Stabbing and stabbing, he simply pressed against the door panel and pushed forward, trying to push down the door panel of the officers and soldiers.

The bandit was already limp all over, sitting down on the ground, his three souls and seven souls hadn't fully returned to their positions.

Seeing that the other leaders did not speak, Yang Ying cheered up the morale: "This Black Wind Village has been in business for decades, and it was passed down from my father. It's not like the officers and soldiers have never been here before. Whenever they are killed, it's not because they were disgraced and killed." Kill them back? As long as we defend the dangerous places, there will be an army of [-] officers and soldiers, and they can grow wings and fly up the mountain?"

The old thief observed carefully and found that the officers and soldiers were divided into many teams.

After observing the battlefield carefully, Zhu Ming shouted, "Bring all those bandits you just caught here!"

Hearing that the officers and soldiers don't know how to fight, the bandits were less afraid and their morale finally improved.

The rest of the thieves were scared out of their wits, some even peed their pants.

When the officers and soldiers are repelled, they will do it at the celebration banquet.

Whether they can live depends on their own creation.

Chen Ziyi shouted: "Press the door!"

Only send two at a time, and they will come back after shouting.

The squad of officers and soldiers continued to advance, and the two stones were also kicked down by the soldiers to the hillsides on both sides.

The old thieves also have different minds, especially the leader who owns a large amount of land.

There are a lot of mosquitoes, so I can't sleep well.

Even those old thieves who were only leaders before and were promoted by Yang Ying showed resistance to some extent.

The old thief said to Baiford: "You lead people to guard the back, just watch the hillsides on both sides, and roll stones when you see officers and soldiers attacking."

"Brother, can you hold it?" Bai Shoude asked in a low voice.

"I see." Byford said with an apologetic smile.

The archers didn't care about this, they stabbed with a few spears, Bai Shoude vomited blood and died on the spot.

"Hey, is that...the door panel?" A bandit pointed down and asked.

They looked at each other secretly, and silently followed behind Yang Jun's eldest son.The two had already discussed that they must keep the son of the former village master and prevent Yang Ying from finding any chance to kill him.

Because the mountain road was narrow, they pushed each other, and immediately there were four bandits who were pushed down the hillsides on both sides by their accomplices.Just rolling down is not fatal, but there are many traps along the way, and soon someone will fall into it and scream.

Byford had just finished eating the food he had delivered, when he heard the words, his whole body shivered, and he quickly stood on tiptoe to look down.

Teams of young and strong were taken out by the leaders.

Those who were seriously injured had their heads chopped off and sent to Xiangzhi County.

"Remember it." The bandits nodded hastily.

Byford didn't know what to do, but he couldn't show his timidity, and ran to garrison tremblingly.

Five bandits climbed up crying, one and two were all wounded.

With the lessons learned from the past, the two of them didn't want to go back to the cottage anymore, and went honestly to persuade them to surrender.And keep an eye on the top of your head at all times, and run away immediately after shouting. This time, none of them died.

Byford fled back in panic to report the letter, detailing the tactics of the officers and soldiers, which made the bandits at the second checkpoint tremble.

Zhu Ming no longer entered the army, but only blocked this place, preventing the bandits from going down the mountain, and waited for Zhang Guangdao to go around and cooperate.

At the same time, the two wolf slaves held their weapons upright, their shoulders resting on the backs of the sword and shield hands, and they were also helping to squeeze forward.

"The officers and soldiers are already four miles down the mountain, and have just passed Buffalo Slope!"

Nothing happened that day, and Byford slept at the checkpoint all night.

Everyone here has complaints in their hearts.

All the defenses at the foot of the mountain were abandoned, and the troops were reduced to guard against several main roads.

Hearing Chen Ziyi's military order, they immediately put down the door panel and erected it firmly in the middle of the mountain road.Simultaneously step into a lunge, pressing your forearms, knees, and toes against the door panel.

Chen Ziyi stopped chasing, tied up all the bandits he caught, and shouted at the bandits who rolled down the hillside: "Climb up by yourself, and I will spare you all!"

The distance between the two sides was still more than 20 meters, and the old thief shouted: "Push the stone down!"

After receiving the news, Zhu Ming personally brought people over.

Of the 22 bandits guarding here, seven escaped successfully, five rolled down the mountain, four were stabbed to death and stabbed, and the remaining six were all captured alive.

If more than a dozen stones were rolled down at the same time, perhaps the sword and shield hand could not bear the force.But the mountain road is too narrow and curved, and the stones roll and fall to the sides, and less than [-]% of them can actually hit the door panel.

In doing so, people are distracted.

In the Black Wind Village, the gong sounded, and the young men began to gather.

No pressure.

They brought over a dozen baskets filled with stones, the small ones were as big as footballs, and the big ones were the size of two or three basketballs.Slightly use a drill to remove the edges and corners, until the shape is still irregular.

When Yang Ying and several leaders heard the report, their faces became extremely solemn.

Zhu Ming said again: "Repeat it three times, don't forget."

There are two bandits here. The first team is led by the old bandit and is responsible for guarding the front mountain road.A waist wall more than one meter high was built on the mountain road, not only could it condescend to attack the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers had to climb over the low earth wall if they wanted to kill them.

Zhu Ming recognized Bai Shoude at a glance, and immediately ordered: "Kill this man!"

The old thief was overjoyed and encouraged his morale: "Officers and soldiers don't know how to fight, and don't know how to besiege from three sides. If you come over like this, you won't be able to line up. We only need to deal with two or three in the front row. No matter how many officers and soldiers there are, we won't be able to do anything. Listen. I order, bring a few stones over here!"

The bandits defending this place were afraid that they would be bribed by the government, so they ignored them completely.

Chen Ziyi was holding a spear, standing in the position of the spearman, constantly poking his head sideways, observing the situation ahead from the side of the door.

The bandits' weapons couldn't function at all, and they were so frightened that they could only back away after being poked by the wolf.

Most of the bandits are temporarily recruited farmers, and they are scrambling to escape at this moment.

In front of each team, there is a gate board.Moreover, the walking speed is slow. Every two or three steps, the door panels are lowered vertically, and the formation is adjusted before continuing to move forward.

The old thief was a little frightened and kept ordering stones to be thrown.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yang Ying asked people to bring in a lot of goods, even the young and strong at the bottom could get hundreds of dollars.

"Oh!"

Zhu Ming said to the bandits who fled back, "You can survive."

The five brothers, because of the night attack on Shangbai Village, now only two of them died.

But Yang Ying said: "If you pay rewards now, who has the heart to fight? Tell them, as long as you keep the stockade, everyone will be rewarded afterwards. If you can kill an officer and soldier, you will be rewarded with a consistent amount of money. If you kill the leader of an officer and soldier, you will be rewarded with ten strings of money. Ten stones of grain! If you can’t hold the stockade and are caught by the government, all of them will be beheaded!”

Byford said: "It can be defended, but the officers and soldiers don't have wings."

"Big brother!"

Similarly, the officers and soldiers were also blocked by the rout and were unable to pursue quickly.

Byford was pushed forward by his subordinates, and he couldn't stop at all.Once he stopped, he probably would be pushed away, and rolled down the mountain to accompany his brother every minute.

I saw the officers and soldiers lined up in a long snake formation, marching slowly along the narrow mountain road.Moreover, he didn't divide his troops to attack the two hillsides, but just walked along the mountain path foolishly.

The ten captured bandits shouted in five groups, and four of them were crushed to death in total.

Bai Shoude was also pushed down the hillside and shouted for help to his brother.

The door panel was held together by two sword and shield hands, and a rope was tied to the latch slot, and the rope was tied to the wrist for strength.

A few stones were pushed down from the mountain path, most of them rolled down the hillsides on both sides, only two rolled down to the officers and soldiers of the mountain path.

"What... what should I do?" Byford asked hurriedly.

At a distance of nearly ten meters, a few rocks fell, and the two bandits hurriedly avoided.One of them escaped smoothly, and the other was crushed to death on the spot.

The young and strong recruits who were temporarily recruited were all terrified.

After thinking for a while, Yang Ying ordered: "Don't guard the ones in front, all retreat to the tiger's mouth!"

The second day, in the middle of the morning.

"Run away!"

"Zhu Xiucai, spare your life!" Bai Shoude knelt down and cried.

He, the newly promoted little boss, has ten soldiers under his command, all of whom are young and strong temporarily trained. They were only responsible for farming before, and they have never seen blood at all.That mental state is similar to that of the newly recruited archers, even... far worse.

After distributing the reward money, he boosted morale and said: "If you kill the leader of the officers and soldiers, you will be rewarded with fifty guan for money, fifty shi for grain, and fifty acres of land. Mu. If you kill ordinary officers and soldiers, you will be rewarded with five guan for money and five shi for grain. I will never let you go, if you kill them on the same day, you will be rewarded on the same day!"

Some people want rewards, but they are really willing to fight.

But more bandits, just want to save their lives!

For the leader and leader, if Yang Ying is killed, it seems that they can get more.
