Chapter 434: Purge
More than 200 people entered the gate of the main village, and the black mountain bandits in the rear chased after them with their tails. Dozens of archers shot a round condescendingly, and more than 20 mountain bandits were shot and rolled down the stone steps. The rest of the people were frightened and fled, shouting and cursing. Taking advantage of this slight obstacle, the soldiers of the Luoyan Army successfully closed the heavy gate of the village and put on the iron bolt.
Lin Jue gave an order, and more than 100 soldiers went up to the wall and the arrow tower behind the gate. When the mountain bandits outside rushed to the gate of the fortress again, they were greeted by an even more frantic rain of arrows. After two rounds, the stone steps below were full of mountain bandits who were rolling down with arrows. The bandits knew that they were unable to break through the gate of the main village, so they shouted and retreated.
At this time, Gao Muqing had time to ask Yuan Lang.
"How did you get started? How do you not follow the plan? So much so that nearly half of the manpower was lost. Gao Muqing frowned.
"Master of the village, don't blame me. I did exactly what the military advisor told me. But the people in Beishan Dazhai couldn't hold their breath. When they heard the sound of killing coming from the main village, they panicked. They first rushed outward, which caused the other party to attack. I can't sit still, I can only set fire to people with my brothers. Killed inexplicably, I don't even know if you have succeeded in the master of the village and the military advisor. Yuan Lang said angrily.
Lin Jue frowned and nodded, with the current military discipline of Luoyan Valley, Yuan Lang would not make his own decisions. But the people in Beishan Dazhai may not abide by the rules, they are all a group of guys who can do whatever they want, and there is no way to do it.
Ruan Ping sat on the ground and said weakly: "I'm sorry, the tall village master, Brother Fang, my people have dragged you down." ”
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business, it's just that the soldiers and horses of Guizhai are making such a fuss, with heavy casualties, and we have lost a lot of manpower." Then it's harder. We can't save the people trapped down there, I'm afraid they'll all die. ”
Ruan Ping sighed, shook his head and did not speak.
Yuan Lang asked again: "Have you succeeded in the master of the village and the military advisor?" Is Zuo Zongdao dead? ”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Zuo Zongdao is dead, the specific situation has to be recounted in the air, the matter is not over yet, we have to go to business." You will lead eighty archers to defend the gate, and I will take the rest of the men. There are still hundreds of enemies in the main village, and they must be cleared as soon as possible. ”
……
In the open space under the mountain wall behind the main village, a fire fight has just ended. Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang teamed up to launch an attack on Li Zhengde. Coupled with Zhao Zheng and Nan Yong's subordinates, hundreds of people were scuffled together. However, Zhang Kang and Du Changjiang had slightly more people, nearly 300 people against more than 100 people, and gradually became a crushing trend.
With Du Chengjiang slashing Li Zhengde's thigh, Zhang Kang took advantage of the situation to make up a sword under Li Zhengde's ribs, and the melee finally ended. The remaining mountain bandit guards under Li Zhengde and Zhao Zheng died and surrendered, and some fled without a trace when they saw that the situation was not good.
Zhang Kang was also slashed by Li Zhengde, but fortunately, the injury was not critical, only a layer of skin was cut, but a lot of blood flowed, and Zhang Kang yelled and scolded angrily.
"Brother Zhang, the owner of the big village, Miss Mo, the second owner of the village and the third owner of the village are all dead, and now the dragons in the cottage are leaderless. What do we do now? Du Chengjiang asked with a gasp on the side.
"What did Brother Du say?" Zhang Kang endured the pain and let one of his subordinates help bind the wound, his brows furrowed from time to time because of the pain.
"Brother Zhang, I, Du Chengjiang, are the talkers. Just now I said that I want to support you as the master of the village, and I will definitely keep my promise. Let's immediately go to the sub-village to collect people, and the 1,000 people in the sub-village are under the jurisdiction of the second and third village masters, and we must include them in the bag, so that no one of them will know that the big village master is dead, and he will have a bad heart. After getting these 1,000 people, we went to slaughter Wu Haier and fulfill Miss Mo's last wish. After that, Brother Zhang will be the owner of the big village, and the younger brother only needs to be the owner of the second village. Du Chengjiang said.
Zhang Kang looked at Du Chengjiang and said, "Are you really willing to let me be the master of the village?" Don't you want to do it yourself? ”
Du Chengjiang said: "Brother Zhang, you and I have been brothers for many years, don't you know me?" I am not able to convince the public, and it is most suitable for Brother Zhang to be the owner of the village. This is not against the will. ”
Zhang Kang smiled and said, "Thank you, brother." It's okay, this cottage is where you and my brothers sit together. I will be the master of the village first, and I will give it to you in the future, and our brothers will take turns to do it. But now the top priority is as you said, we have to gather the soldiers and horses of the deputy village, and we will also slaughter Wu Haier. That guy won't be willing to let you and me be the big village owner of Shiren Mountain. By the way, the assassin who assassinated the lord of the village must be searched out. Bao Meng's intentions are not good, and we have to guard against him taking advantage of the chaos to attack. ”
Du Chengjiang was shocked and said: "Brother Zhang's words reminded me that Bao Meng's guy must have a plan, and his five hundred soldiers and horses are still in the sub-village, and they are afraid of chaos, so we have to hurry up and pacify them." ”
Zhang Kang was also shocked: "What I said is, without further ado, we have to strike first." Perhaps, they are already making a fuss. ”
Before Zhang Kang could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the lights on the side of the house in the south, and a team of soldiers and horses swarming out with torches. After a while, dozens of steps away, Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang saw clearly the two leading figures, who were the two assassins who had fled in the chaos not long ago.
Zhang Kang was shocked in his heart, the opponent's soldiers and horses had actually attacked, which showed that the main village had been opened. But I don't know where are the 1,000 men in the sub-village? Could it be that they were all annihilated? However, looking at the soldiers and horses brought by the other party, Zhang Kang not only rose with contempt. The soldiers were armed with glittering swords, but their equipment was nothing more than tattered shirts. Seeing this, Zhang Kang was relieved. This rabble is not very combative.
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing led one hundred and eighty soldiers to arrive more than 20 steps away, and the two sides confronted each other with swords. Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang rushed to the front of the formation, and in the opposing formation, a man walked out slowly and saluted.
"Leader Zhang, Leader Du is good, in the forest below, it is the military division of Dazhai in Luoyan Valley. That one is the tall village master of my Luoyan Valley. Courteous. ”
Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang were shocked when they heard this, they thought that these were Bao Meng's people, but they didn't expect that the other party was actually from Luoyan Valley, and even the owner of the village in Luoyan Valley had arrived.
"Are you from the Valley of the Wild Goose? What's going on? Du Chengjiang exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not a secret, this time we joined forces with the lord of Beishan Dazhai Bao Dazhai, and on the occasion of the alliance between Beishan Dazhai and your Shirenshan Dazhai, I came to Luoyan Valley Dazhai in disguise, the purpose is to kill Zuo Zongdao and ensure the safety of my Luoyan Valley Dazhai. Now that we've got it, we don't have to hide our identities. Lin Jue said with a smile.
Zhang Kang shouted: "You are so bold to break into my Shiren Mountain village to make trouble. Kill our wallholder. Are you tired of being alive? ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Since we dare to come, we naturally don't care about life and death." The truth is that we got it. Zuo Zongdao died in my hands. The two leaders also saw it, not only Zuo Zongdao, but also the second and third masters in your cottage are dead. The only pity is that Miss Mo also died, and I originally wanted to save her. ”
Zhang Kang said coldly: "You have committed a heinous crime, we were about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to send it to the door." If I were you, I should run away desperately, and I would dare to turn back, you are killing yourself. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "We won't run away, our business is not finished yet." Two leaders, we are here to persuade you to surrender. My goal is to destroy your Shiren Mountain Village, but I don't kill a Zuo Zongdao and finish it. How can we leave until it's done? ”
Zhang Kang and Du Chengjiang glanced at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.
"What a big breath, you must have lost your mind. I admit that you are not small, but although the owner of Zuo Dazhai is dead, there are still more than a thousand brothers in this cottage. You don't have enough of them. Acquaintances quickly surrender, we respect you as a man, and it won't be too difficult for you. Leave you all dead. Zhang Kang laughed.
Lin Jue sighed: "Leader Zhang, I don't like to listen to you talk like this." I admit that there are many of you, but what is the use of having too many people? Zuo Zongdao was heavily guarded, wasn't he shot by me? Besides, there are only you in this main village, and your soldiers and horses in the sub-village are all blocked out of the gate of the village, and I have a hundred archers guarding the high ranks, and they can't enter for three days and three nights. I don't want to kill you, I just hope that you can surrender immediately and submit to my Luoyan Valley Dazhai. We will be polite to you. You will still be reused, and we can even let you continue to be stationed in Shiren Mountain, but Shiren Mountain Dazhai is under the jurisdiction of my Luoyan Valley Dazhai. That's not a bad condition, isn't it? ”
Zhang Kang was shocked in his heart, the soldiers and horses in the sub-village were blocked from the main village, and there were a hundred archers guarding the gate of the village, which could not be attacked under any circumstances. But what surprised him even more was the ambition of the other party, the other party had clearly stated their purpose, that is, to destroy the Shiren Mountain Village and annex the Shiren Mountain territory. It's amazing that the small Luoyan Valley cottage has such huge ambitions.
"Don't be delusional, even if they can't get in, we still have three or four hundred men here, twice as many as yours, and you are not in a position to speak out. Don't talk nonsense, let's still fight, I'm going to take you to worship the dead lord and wife, and worship the two dead lords. Zhang Kang shouted.
Lin Jue sighed and said: "It seems that you really want to be the owner of the village, if you don't listen to all the good words, then don't blame me for being unpredictable." Please think again. ”
"There's no need for that! Brothers, kill me, and dominate these guys who have broken into my cottage and spread wild. There are many rewards afterwards. Zhang Kang shouted loudly and raised his knife to point forward.
More than 300 mountain bandit guards heard the sound and rushed forward with shouts.
Lin Jue's face turned cold, and he retreated into the formation and ordered in a deep voice: "Two rounds of bows and arrows, shoot!" ”
