"Yes!" A herald next to him said immediately.

"Drop the rocket!" Luo Xin said in a condensed voice.

The herald immediately ignited the rocket, then bent his bow and fired his arrow into the air.

"Buzz ......"

The bowstring snapped, and a little light shot out of the night sky.

The two thieves with little by little heads woke up, looked up and saw a little fire in the high night sky, a little fire went straight to the sky, and he was shocked all over his body, staring at the opposite side of the mountain road.

But......

On the opposite side of the more than 1,000-meter mountain road, there was no movement, and there was no figure. While the two of them were looking intently at the opposite mountain road, soldiers here and there ignited the powder line with fire breakers, which quickly shortened and spread towards the explosive pack.

"Huh? It's not moving! "The two bandits are inexplicable.

"Boom ......"

And at this moment, the first roar sounded inside the bandits, and then a series of roars, accompanied by flames, rang out from all over the cottage.

"What happened?"

Huo Ran, a hundred people on the wooden plank road, turned his head and saw that there were fires everywhere in the cottage, and the terrible screams rang out. Countless houses have collapsed, and fires have ignited, and I don't know how many people have died.

"Boom ......"

Just as they were staring in shock at the fire in the cottage, a muffled explosion sounded under their feet, blowing their bodies out and the tall gate of the cottage to pieces.

"Up!"

Wan Daquan shouted, and a thousand soldiers rushed towards the gate of the cottage. At the same time, the officers and soldiers behind Luo Xin also lit torches one after another, and quickly approached the ninth village along the two-wide mountain road.

At a distance of 100 meters, just a few breaths, Wan Daquan rushed here with people, mended the cottage that was not dead, and then quickly lined up the formation, quietly waiting for the bandits to snatch the gate of the village.

But......

The whole cottage has become a mess, and no one has come to fight for the gate in time. Of course, this is what Wan Daquan and the others are looking forward to, and they hope that the bandits will forget to fight for the walled gate.

However, this is clearly a delusion. When Luo Xin's army only walked about 300 meters on the mountain road, Liang Dalongtou rushed towards the gate with thousands of bandits.

Those bandits were already red-eyed at this time, and they knew that it must be Luo Xin rushing in, and they had to snatch back the gate of the village, otherwise what awaited them was death.

The two sides collided violently in one place in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the front of the cottage instantly became a meat grinder. Liang Dalongtou was very brave, but the officers and soldiers blocked the front of the cottage to death, although one by one the officers and soldiers fell, but one by one the officers and soldiers came up, and in the narrow area, people kept falling. Officers and bandits were falling at a rapid pace.

The bravery of Liang Dalong's head soon turned into despair, that is, in the time of more than twenty breaths, the officers and soldiers passed through the mountain road and began to rush into the bandits.

On the mountain road of more than 1,000 meters, officers and soldiers one after another, holding torches, like a fire dragon, poured into the ninth village in a steady stream. The number of officers and men gradually turned from a disadvantage to an advantage.

Five thousand.

Ten thousand.

When the number of officers and soldiers who entered the cottage exceeded 10,000, the bandits could no longer resist the impact of the officers and soldiers, and were scattered by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers began to divide, encircle, and kill the bandits......

When the first wisps of masculinity fell from the sky, there was no longer a shout of killing in the ninth village, and there were corpses everywhere, and thick smoke was billowing out.

Luo Xin stood in the center of the square of the ninth village and ordered: "Clean up the battlefield, search out all the food, and distribute it evenly to each soldier.

Treat the wounded soldiers immediately, count the list of dead soldiers, and then cremate the disappointed soldiers, collect the ashes, and take them back. ”

"Yes!"

The army proceeded in an orderly manner, and two hours later, the officers and soldiers left through the front gate of the ninth village, and when the last man left, a fire was set off, and the whole ninth village was full of smoke. The people who stayed in the tenth village saw that the ninth village was on fire, and let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and then burned the tenth village.

"No, we can go back to the court." Tao Xingyan said excitedly.

"It's not time yet." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Zhang Daoyuan hasn't been caught yet." ”

"By the way, we are here mainly to arrest Zhang Daoyuan." Tao Xingyan slapped his forehead and said, "But, where did these anti-thieves go?" ”

"No hurry!" Luo Xin said calmly: "We set up camp and wait here." ”

The army was stationed, and the scattered tribal chiefs all came to see Luo Xin with trepidation. Although last night's attack was caused by our men rushing into the mountain road first, they did not suffer many casualties. In total, there were 527 dead and 301 wounded, because at that time, the officers and soldiers had already occupied the gates.

On the contrary, the casualties among the officers and men were heavy, and 862 people died, most of whom were soldiers of the 1,000-front front unit guarding the gate of the fortress. However, even if more than 800 people died, it was definitely a big victory for this battle.

The reason why the patriarchs of these tribes were afraid of Luo Xin was not because there were few people who died this time, but because of the kind of explosion that they didn't know what it was.

"That's just thunder!"

This is the thought in the hearts of every tribe, so they are deeply in awe of Luo Xin. Luo Xin saw their awe, and his heart relaxed.

In the past, the reason why the mountain people rebelled was that these mountain people did not have reverence for the imperial court. Now with awe, everything is easy. As long as they are given another way to live, they will honestly follow the court and will not rebel again.

Luo Xin praised them for their performance in this war, which made the patriarchs immediately excited, Luo Xin waved his hand and told them to go down, and one person leaned back against the big tree and closed his eyes.

When the hill elders returned to their camps, they immediately gathered together and wrote the Book of the People. After writing the Book of the People, he respectfully handed it to Tao Xingyan, and Tao Xingyan handed it over to the Jinyi Guard who followed the army. Now the Jinyi guards are all Luo Xin's people, and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu immediately sent two Jinyi guards to leave the camp and return to the capital with the book of the people and a letter written by themselves.

The army waited here for a day and a night, and at noon the next day, some people sent out to contact Shiyun came back with news of Zhang Daoyuan.

Luo Xin was overjoyed, and immediately pulled out the camp and walked towards Zhang Daoyuan's lair.

Four days later.

Luo Xin took the selected 10,000 elites, and quietly saw the fortune, and now the 80,000 officers and soldiers plus the mountain people are strong, the team has exceeded 150,000, such a team, even if it is hidden, between walking, it is difficult to hide no traces. Therefore, Luo Xin led 10,000 elites first, and the rest of the 140,000 troops followed behind.
