Above the official road, there was a lot of fighting. The battle has gone from one side at the beginning to the other.

The soldiers who suddenly killed caught the Nanshan thieves off guard. The sophisticated equipment on them also made the Nanshan thieves extremely depressed. Although it is only an iron armor covering the front and back of the chest, it is full of knives and simple knives in people's hands.

These long-handled weapons often pierced the minions' bodies before the Nanshan thieves even rushed closer. And finally some brave ones killed closely, and they were pierced through the heart by a feather arrow shot from nowhere.

This can't be fought, and many Nanshan thieves have begun to retreat.

Shen Cheng struggled to slash the dart head down. The saber pushed away, and forced himself to hold up his breath and scolded: "Your mother drops! Who the hell are you! ”

"Grandpa, I'm Lord Zhou's guard!" The dart head smirked and picked up the slash. The saber was another powerful blow.

Lord Zhou? Shen Cheng pondered in his heart, didn't he hear that there was such a number one person in Runzhou City?

Shen Cheng didn't dare to take it hard anymore, he just took it, and his palms were still trembling. Gritting his teeth, he held the iron shovel firmly in his hand.

A lazy donkey rolled and dodged from under the darthead's hand, and Shen Cheng got up and shouted: "Run!" Run, brethren! After saying that, he pulled a red-eyed minion next to him and dragged him to run up the South Mountain.

It was as if the button to open the gate was pressed, and the robbers suddenly rushed to Nanshan like water released from a dam.

Back in Nanshan, it's their territory. The steep terrain of Nanshan, coupled with the camp that has been in operation for ten years, is a source of confidence for them not to be afraid of officers and soldiers. As for hand-to-hand combat with officers and soldiers in the wilderness like now, the Zhenjiang army can fight back and forth with them.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In the face of the fleeing Nanshan people, the soldiers did not pursue. Instead, they naturally lined up, holding bows and crossbows and aimed at the Nanshan thieves who ran up the mountain.

The dart head squinted and shouted. The arrows like clouds are like swarms of locusts harvesting crops, reaping the lives of the robbers in Nanshan.

Zhang Qidu was about to cry, seeing that the situation was not good, he was the first to run. Who knew that a detachment of officers and soldiers suddenly came out from behind, blocking his way back to the village.

This group of officers and soldiers were wearing iron armor, holding round shields, and spears in their hands, and were advancing in the direction where Zhang Qi was step by step. The footsteps were slow but firm, and the muffled sound of nearly 100 heavily armed soldiers stepping on the ground at the same time was like stepping on Zhang Qi's heart, making his limbs begin to swing involuntarily.

In front of him was a group of officers and soldiers who knew that they were invincible at a glance, and behind them was a rain of arrows pouring down, so before he had time to think about it, Zhang Qi hurriedly stretched over a minion with an earthy face beside him to block behind him. Before the minions could figure out what was going on, they were pricked into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows.

Shen Cheng on the other side pressed his subordinates under him, and the rest of the place was fine, but he was still hit by an arrow in the buttocks.

The officers and soldiers did not seem to have the intention of rushing to kill, whether it was the officers and soldiers in front or behind them, they did not advance quickly, but formed an encirclement at an extremely slow speed, wanting to surround the Nanshan bandits led by Shen Cheng and Zhang Qi.

After a round of projectiles, the officers and men no longer waste arrows on this group of stinky fish and shrimp. The crossbowman put away his divine arm and drew his short soldier and followed behind his companion in front of him.

"Zhang Qi! You're the most familiar with the terrain around here! Lead the way for the brethren! Shen Cheng limped to Zhang Qi's side with an arrow on his buttocks, and roared with red eyes.

"How to lead the way! There's another chasing force behind! We want to go back to the village, and we can't do it without a detour! Zhang Qi's tone was full of crying, he was not as good as Shen Cheng, but if he ran slower and became a hedgehog, he would be the one who would become a hedgehog: "But who knows if there will be chasers on our detour!" ”

Shen Cheng's buttocks hurt badly, and he walked over in three or two steps, grabbed Zhang Qi's neck and shouted, "If you fucking hesitate so much, the brothers will all die here!" ”

The screams came one after another, and the officers and soldiers were different from what they had seen before. Contrary to the normal state of rushing up as soon as they gain an advantage, they are not in a hurry to expand the results, but to advance steadily and slowly.

The Nanshan pirates without archers did not need the protection of shields, so the officers and soldiers just formed a formation, holding the weapons in their hands diagonally, and approached step by step.

Zhang Qi was scared to death, and there was a urine on his body. Taste, Shen Cheng frowned in disgust, he didn't need to look at it to know that this guy had already peed his pants.

"Then go this way! This way...... There's a trail here...... There is a path...... Go around Rooster Ridge and you'll be back on the stockade......"

Zhang Qi stumbled and said, Shen Cheng pushed Zhang Qi and shouted, "Then don't lead the way!" ”

Zhang Qi spread his legs and ran towards the path, followed by Shen Cheng and the minions. Everyone was in a state of defeat, and they all only hated their parents for giving birth to two legs.

"Commander He, aren't we chasing?" A soldier wearing a hat came out and said, "This group of robbers is about to run away. ”

The head of the dart will be chopped in the hand. The saber slammed into the ground and shouted: "Stop! The two infantry formations stopped.

The dart head smiled at the puzzled soldier: "The task given to us by Zhang Zhizhou is not to exterminate the Nanshan bandits. He wanted to know how many roads led directly to the Nanshan bandits' stockade.

Do you think that this commander doesn't want to exterminate the Nanshan thieves and make a great achievement, so that the brothers can show their faces in front of His Majesty? But ah, if we do this, Zhang Zhizhou will be unhappy.

What's more, our main task this time is to escort Lord Zhou back to his hometown, and don't worry about the rest. After going back and receiving Zhang Zhizhou's reward, let's go back to Beijing and take the brothers to Hongyue Tower to have fun! ”

The little soldier was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and just clapped his hands......

Shen Cheng and Zhang Qi didn't know these things. Even if you knew, it wouldn't be of much use. For them, whether it is the forbidden army or the box army, or the village soldiers and the catchers, they are all officers and soldiers, and they are all their enemies. If you can't fight, you can only escape.

Nearly 300 people went down the mountain, and only 100 escaped back. The losses are so heavy, and there is not half a gain, I don't know what kind of anger the big boss will be after going back.

Shen Cheng couldn't help but gloat a little when he thought of this. It's nothing to be punished by yourself, Zhang Qi can also be punished together on that dog day, so this punishment is too worthwhile.

There is a small road in Rooster Ridge that leads directly to Nanshan, but you need to take a long detour to get there.

This path is usually not walked, because it is so remote, and the beasts don't know how many, and if you go there, you may have to become the belly of the beasts, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhang Qi also discovered this path by accident, and he had a fight with Shen Cheng here not long ago.

A grizzled minion ran behind him and whispered a few words in Shen Cheng's ear. After Shen Cheng heard this, his brows furrowed.

The officers and soldiers actually did not catch up? It's a weird thing. The officers and soldiers I had encountered in the past had always had the upper hand, and they swarmed up in a disorderly manner, and it was the first time that they had seen each other if they did not chase after them like they did now. Moreover, the weapons they used were much better than those used by the officers and soldiers in the past.

Xinzhizhou really made a bloody investment, for the sake of the Nanshan thieves, he actually got the forbidden army from Tokyo City.

This matter must be reported to the big boss.

Hearing that the officers and soldiers were no longer chasing after him, Zhang Qi's pace slowed down a lot. He himself is not Shen Cheng, or other people's rough men who have good physical strength and can fight and run. He has always regarded himself as a military advisor, and feels that he has an overwhelming advantage over others in terms of intelligence.

Since the officers and soldiers stopped chasing, Zhang Qi, who was sweating profusely, wanted to sit in place and rest for a while. I found a stump at random, and sat on it.

Shen Cheng's expression was a little weird, and when Zhang Qi saw Shen Cheng's vigilant appearance, he suddenly remembered, where did the tree stump come from in this deep mountain and old forest? Nanshan steals firewood and never comes to this place to get it. Now there is a place full of bare tree stumps that have been cut down, which is clearly a sign of someone living here.

For the mountain people, the Nanshan thieves have never been soft. They believe that the whole mountain is theirs, and there are so many things in one mountain, and that if the mountain people take things from the mountain, they take things from their hands.

Snatching something from the Nanshan thieves? Those who have done this have long since become fertilizer for trees and flowers.

"Search for me! Find out all the mountain people for me! Zhang Qi brandished the knife and turned into a majestic appearance again.

The minions answered, and scattered to search. I have just suffered a big loss at the hands of the officers and soldiers, and I am holding back a breath of anger in my heart. Now that they have the opportunity to vent their anger with the mountain people, they will naturally not let go of this good opportunity.

Zhang Qi sat on the stump and waited for the minions to come and report back, while Shen Chengcheng was on the side, letting his men help him heal.

I just touched the dart head, and my palm is still trembling, and the tiger's mouth is so numb that I can't use any strength. On the buttocks, I was hit by another arrow, the feather arrow used by the damned officers and soldiers, the arrow still has a hook on it, it seems that I can't sit down for half a month and a month.

The rest of the crowd rested a little before they heard the minions come back and report that he had found a village not far away. Zhang Qi nodded, and ordered his subordinates to gather the rest of the people, and then heard a loud birdsong, and after a while, the minions that had just dispersed were led by the minions who found the village, and headed in the direction of the village......
