Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 98 Nine Mountain King ()

Zhao Zhen showed his figure and saw Tian Lei pacing back and forth in the hall. Zhao Zhen asked: "Manager Tian, ​​why are you so anxious?"

Tian Lei looked worried. When he saw Zhao Zhen, he said happily: "Baozheng, there is a message from the village today. Three miles south of Lvliu Township, a cloud of fog appeared today. I am afraid that a foggy world will take shape. The pavilion chief will inform all villages." , repair the gate walls, tie up the clothes and armor, straighten the swords and horses, guard the village, and call the owner of the village."

Zhao Zhen was also shocked. Since Zhao Zhen could remember, he had never faced the invasion of the foggy world directly, and most of it was hearsay. Zhao Zhen thought for a while and asked Tian Lei to bang the clapper, summon the villagers, and gather at the head of the village. I went back to the fantasy world.

When he came back, Zhao Zhen was already wearing armor and holding a gun. He was accompanied by Guang Hui, Chao Gai, Song Wan, and Ruan Xiaoqi, each wearing armor and holding a spear. At the same time, Jiao Ting and Bao Xu were asked to lead their hero-level rural soldiers to Xixi Village to gather them all, leaving all military-level rural soldiers behind.

Then arrange for Ruan Xiaoer and Liu Tang to stay in Xixi Village and serve as backup. Ruan Xiaowu inspected the waters, Tao Zongwang and Du Qian guarded various places in Liangshan, Han Bolong went to garrison in Kushu Mountain, and Yang Lin and Bai Sheng still went to invite Deng Fei and other green forest heroes. Because Yang Lin was a lucky general, Zhao Zhen specially asked him to bring a hundred taels of gold with him. He could buy any treasures he saw along the way, no matter what, and bring them back. He could also recruit wandering villagers.

But it was said that Zhao Zhen had arranged the affairs of the fantasy world. The villagers on the village had arrived at the entrance of the village with swords and guns, and they all looked uneasy. Zhao Zhen and the five people appeared in Bailiu Village. Zhao Zhen was in front, followed by four big men, all wearing robes. Each of them was holding an iron sword, a simple sword, an iron spear, and a three-pronged fork. However, seeing that each of them was tall and mighty, they looked like a heroic general, which made people dare not underestimate them. The villagers couldn't help but feel at ease after seeing them.

Do you know why people don't escape when they encounter the mist world before it comes? This is stipulated by law. Firstly, it consumes the strength of the mist world. Secondly, it uses these people to test the strength of the mist world, so as to destroy the illusionary mist world at the minimum cost for the next step. make a contribution. This is also an important reason why although professionals live longer, they do not live to the end of their lifespan. The price for escaping was to send the whole family to a death camp, wherever there was danger, until all men, women, and children were dead, without exception.

Zhao Zhen came to the entrance of the village and said: "Everyone, you all know that the foggy world has just formed in the village. According to law, we need to withstand the first wave of impact, and then we can decide whether to stay or go according to the situation. This time the foggy world is far away from the village. The closer we go, the more likely we will bear the first wave of impact. We will guard the village and every family will pack away their belongings. If something goes wrong, we will flee immediately."

After speaking, he asked loudly: "Manager Tian, ​​how many households are there in the village now?"

Tian Lei responded quickly: "Back to Baozheng, there are sixty-five households in the village, and there are no young men in the two households."

Zhao Zhen shouted loudly: "Divide into three teams, each team has 21 people. I have four generals who are good at fighting, and I have three people to lead them. Chao Gai, Song Wan, Ruan Xiaoqi and you three will each lead one team. Divide into three waves to patrol the countryside, taking turns to rest and conserve physical strength."

All dealers have been trained in rotation. There was a little hesitation at first, but with Zhao Zhen in the middle taking command, everyone calmed down and formed a queue, each following Chao Gai, Song Wan, and Ruan Xiaoqi.

Zhao Zhen called Tian Lei and said, "Steward Tian, ​​please organize a group of people to boil water and cook rice, prepare to treat the wounded, and transport supplies. I want to go to the countryside to investigate."

Tian Lei responded and hurriedly gathered people. Zhao Zhen took Guang Hui and they rode straight to the countryside.

We were riding fast all the way, and soon we saw Lvliu Township in the distance, which looked like a construction site. Men, women, old and young were all working together, digging earth, transporting rocks, and cutting down trees for walls. Horses blocked the road, and the entrance to the mist was strewn with caltrops. After going to the township office, Zhao Zhen finally saw Gao Hu.

When the two met, Zhao Zhen was about to salute, but Gao Hu stopped him and said, "Brother, don't worry about these red tapes. I have now gathered 3000 strong men in the village, skilled soldiers, and more than a hundred villagers. And this person beside me, He is my classmate in Haojing, I call him Huang Yang, he can also use spears and clubs, now he has second-level strength, and now he is wandering around the countryside."

Huang Yang had a cold face and nodded to Zhao Zhen as a greeting. When Gao Hu saw him, he said helplessly: "Brother, don't mind. Brother Huang Yang has always been cold-faced and warm-hearted, and he is not sociable."

Then he pointed to the tall soldiers standing in two rows next to him, and said: "These are the Roman heavy infantry brought by the Huang Yang brothers. They wear heavy armor, hold shields and carry guns. They are all third-level troops with high morale. Fear of life and death. I know that there must be soldiers in my brother's fantasy world. I wonder how many people can I bring out? Follow me to guard this place."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, I came here in a hurry. Now I have only dispatched four heroes who are accustomed to fighting. Three are fourth-level and one is two-level. They all have good martial arts skills. The person next to me is called Xuetou Guanghui. He also once broke through the grass bandits' formation and killed the two leading thieves in one battle, earning him the nickname "Xue Tu Tuo".

There are indeed some soldiers in the fantasy world, but due to limited luck, they can only mobilize thirty or fifty people. They are all first-level soldiers. Although they are stronger than the strong men in the village, I am afraid they are not as good as the bankers recruited by my brother. There are still two generals in the fantasy world, who originally stayed behind in the fantasy world. Since my brother said so, I also called out six more crossbowmen, who are also used in the battle formation. My brother dares to fight so much, so this brother can be regarded as risking his life to accompany the gentleman. "

When Gao Hu saw what Zhao Zhen said, he really laughed. According to the law, Zhao Zhen was upright and could only protect the village. Now looking at Gao Hu's arrangement, he wanted to take the initiative to engage in the battle. This was also the reason why other villages did not send troops to help. Most of the villagers are ordinary strong men, and those on the battlefield side have basically moved to the villages and counties. They can still barely do the job of guarding the city wall, but fighting in the field will lead to death.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, the world of mist has been explored."

Gao Hu said: "It has been found out that the mist world here is called [Nine Mountains King]. It is also a recorded mist world, and its level is only the second level."

After Zhao Zhen heard this, he felt even more relieved. In the second-level fantasy world, the highest combat power is only third-level, and there will not be too many people. With the heroes at his disposal, even if he is defeated, escaping on horseback is not a problem.

At that moment, Gao Hu told all the news he knew: "This [Nine Mountain King] has two levels of fantasy world, the second level and the third level. Let's not talk about the third level, let's talk about this place. The leader is called Li Hua Jing, nicknamed Renyu, served as the general trainer of the hunting leader in Chengwu County Government. He was generous with money and had excellent water skills. His official position was deputy central army of Caozhou Prefecture, and he also had many green forest figures under his command. Most of the sergeants were to attract mountain tyrants and change their appearance. The roar came together, the weapons were crude, they used wood as soldiers and carried firewood as weapons. At its peak, it occupied the four counties of Caoxian, Chengwu, Dingtao and Caozhou. Now it is found that the misty world here only covers one county, Caoxian. Sgt. If the number is less than 5000, the rest are ordinary bankers."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt more and more at ease in his heart, but said anxiously: "Brother, after all, it is twice the military strength. I will call in my heroes, allocate the troops, and then decide on the follow-up plan according to the situation."

After finishing speaking, Gao Hu said: "Brother, go back quickly, this misty world may start to invade at some time."

Zhao Zhen took Guang Hui to bid farewell to Gao Hu and hurried back to Zhuangzi.

Back at the village, Chao Gai, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Song Wan were discussing together. When they met Zhao Zhen, Ruan Xiaoqi was cheerful and asked: "Master of the village, what's going on?"

Zhao Zhen told the news he had inquired about, and everyone felt at ease after hearing it. Zhao Zhen called Tian Lei, gave a few instructions, and then entered the fantasy world to invite Jiao Ting, Bao Xu and six heroic crossbowmen. A group of thirteen people drove their horses to the entrance of the misty world without stopping.

Huang Yang followed Zhao Zhen and led Zhao Zhen to the handsome tent that had been built. Gao Hu saw that Zhao Zhen was followed by six heroes, each with big arms and round waists, tall figures, and crossbowmen with different spirits. He said: "What brothers do, brothers can do." Seeing it in my eyes, I will not be able to survive this crisis without benefiting from my virtuous brother."

Afterwards, Gao Hu personally arranged for Zhao Zhen's thirteen people to live in a place not far from the commander's tent. Zhao Zhen and other heroes went to rest on their own, waiting for the invasion of the misty world.
