Chapter 44 Rewind
The mountain roaring tsunami was caused by the teams of Yang Mao and Chen Huan.
As soon as they saw Zhang Chongzhi's black flag on the wall, they slid down the wall and ran to the front of the team.
The ninety people in the whole village, led by their respective commanders, were already on standby.
They had been waiting nervously behind the wall, and could only hear miserable sounds coming from outside the wall from time to time.
When Yang Mao and Chen Huan got off the wall with smiles on their faces, they felt more relaxed. It seemed that the people screaming outside were not theirs.
Chen Huan returned to the team, and Yang Mao took the lead, waving his right arm to the soldiers:
"Raise the black flag, hit the right formation, and open the wall."
In this way, Yang Mao and his troops came out in full force. After they came out of the wall, they first observed the battlefield and saw that the left side was motionless and the right side was already in commotion.
Yang Mao made up his mind and led his troops to take the lead, then rushed toward Toudao Ridge on the right with swords, halberds, and bows.
On the way, Ding Shi's Jin Quan was carrying the flag of their team. He was so excited that he didn't see the road and almost tripped over something. If Wei Zhou, his deputy, wasn't holding him, he would have fallen down and dropped the flag.
According to military regulations, the flag is lowered and the owl carries the flag.
Jin Quan couldn't care less about thanking him, but he saw that the object that tripped him was actually a section of human head. His face was withered, but his face could be vaguely discerned. It was still a child.
commit a sin!
Jin Quan was still stunned, so Deputy Wei Zhou pushed him and continued to rush with the team.
When Yang Mao led his men up the hill, he already saw a knight in red turban, carrying a black and red flag, charging into the formation with dignity. I know this person is Qu Kui.
He shouted to the brothers behind him:
"Qu Kui is in front of us. How can we fucking let Qu Kui take the lead? We all rush with Nai Gong."
After saying that, he took the lead and led the soldiers from the Tunbu tribe into Zhong's remaining soldiers.
There are at least 20 soldiers in Yang Mao's camp, and they are the only team in the team that is fully armored. When Yang Mao selected his troops, he specifically selected those with great height and strength just to fight against the enemy.
Zhong's soldiers were already frightened by Zhang Chong's assault cavalry, but now they could not withstand the impact of these twenty people, and they immediately scattered towards Erdaoling in the rear.
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield saw the red-banded knight cutting off the "Zhong" flag.
Zhong's military formation was defeated.
Suddenly the whole place fell silent.
Then, Yang Mao roared angrily, pointed his troops towards the Jia soldiers in the front formation, and roared:
"Chong"
The soldiers behind them were clapping their swords and making noises:
"Chong"
Then I saw Chen Huan rushing to the front of the formation with a rifle and bow, and fired at the square formation of Jia's soldiers, and there was a wailing sound from there.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Heifu and Ding Sheng, wearing scarves and armour, came forward with their swords and chops.
The Jia family was a rich man who was born as a ranger, and he also made his fortune in this generation. How could there be a shortage of bloody warriors?
Seeing that the position was about to be broken, several swordsmen immediately came out to attack.
One of them, who was wrapped in a black scarf, was particularly brave. He knocked off Heifu Huan's head with two swords, and chopped him to the ground with another sword.
If Guo Liang and Huang Yong hadn't dragged him back by his armor, his head would have been taken off.
When the man saw Hei Fu being dragged away, he didn't chase him. Instead, he turned around and killed Ding Sheng again.
Ding Sheng saw it when Heifu was chopped down, and when he saw that man coming to kill him again, he hurriedly hid in the back line.
How could he and Hei Fu be the same as each other, so how could they confront this person head-on.
Fortunately, Zhang Dan came forward with his spear and spear team. Seeing the fierceness of the man, Zhang Dan shouted:
"Enter"
The spearmen and spearmen quickly moved forward with their flags and banners, covering Heifu and Ding Sheng.
Zhang Dan shouted again: "Array".
All the soldiers formed a formation to resist the horses.
Jia's soldiers counterattacked for a while due to the warriors in their own formation, and they quickly reorganized their formation, so the two soldiers were in a stalemate for a while.
But at this moment, Zhang Dan yelled loudly from behind: "Separate."
Yang Mao suddenly rushed out of Zhang Dan's separated array. The warrior with the black scarf didn't say anything, but he also charged back with a knife.
The black scarf held up a sword and slashed it diagonally at Yang Mao. Unexpectedly, Yang Mao suddenly jumped up like a flying peng, turned around in the air to avoid the knife, and then inserted the knife into the black scarf's neck.
The black scarf held the knife around his neck, took two more steps, and fell to his knees. Yang Mao cut off his head, held the enemy's hair in the direction of Jia's soldiers, and shouted:
"The enemy is begged by me, Yang Mao."
The sound was like thunder, shocking the whole audience.
The man who died was obviously a famous person in Jia's army. As soon as he died, his army was defeated. If Yang Mao hadn't continued the attack, they would have collapsed long ago.
But their front could not last long.
Zhang Chong, who had finished beheading the general and seizing the flag, joined the assault cavalry and drove the scattered soldiers from Toudaoling to the front of Jia's army.
Those stragglers who were defeated were so frightened by the killing that they wanted to escape for their lives, not caring whether they would break up the formation of friendly troops and run away one by one.
Jia's soldiers, who were already unstable, collapsed immediately after being defeated by friendly troops, and they all fled away together, dragging their arms and abandoning their armor.
This time Yang Mao seized the fighting opportunity and hurriedly led his troops to charge with Zhang Chong. For a moment, it was like rolling back a bead curtain, chasing Zhong Jia's two families all over the slope.
When the Xie's and Sun's soldiers stationed at Erdaoling and Sandaoling saw this situation, they knew they could no longer hold on and retreated along the slope to the north.
No one even thought about responding to the collapse of the Zhongjia family.
In this way, Chengyang's four powerful military families were destroyed and two of them were destroyed, and they could no longer form an army. Zhang Chong and others also rested their horses, gathered up the surrender troops, and stopped pursuing.
In this way, a hundred steps away, Zhang Chong organized his troops and once again faced off with the Leize water bandits on the left slope.
——
The three little dads have been running around in the wild these days, and they are very tired.
So when they arrived at Shigu Mountain, the three of them were ready to find a river to wash away their fatigue.
After all, he didn't want his eldest brother to see their miserable situation and worry.
Shigu Mountain is not a small mountain, stretching over 100,000 acres. It is densely forested and secluded, making it a rare place for garrisoning troops.
It seems that these people stationed in Shigu Mountain have something to do with the Zhang family. About ten years ago, the bandits from Shigu Mountain robbed a group of county princes who were about to take office. They were humiliated and used the old man's Jinxian crown as a drowning device.
The old man was fine, but he couldn't stand the anger. When he rushed to Licheng County, he complained to the then Licheng Order about the matter.
This caused Licheng Wei soldiers to besiege Shigu Mountain.
At that time, Zhang Gouzi was on duty in the county. He knew that the county was sending troops to surround Shigu Mountain, so his straw sandals broke and he sent the news to Shigu Mountain.
Because one of his clan brothers was Luocao in Shigu Mountain.
Although, the clan brother died in the end. But the friendship between Shigushan and Zhang Gouzi's family in Dasangli was thus forged.
Later, Zhang Heizi wanted to raise money, and it was Zhang Gouzi who led him up the mountain.
From then on, the bandits in Shigu Mountain began to give money to the county temple, not to the county officials, but to the suffering official slaves and concubines.
It is precisely these people, whom the high-ranking ribbon-girders never care about, who really control the trends of this county and temple.
Therefore, thanks to the reports from the concubines, the bandits in Shigu Mountain can often obtain some valuable information.
For example, they recently learned that Zhang Gouzi's family was going to be made official slaves.
After getting the news, the leader of the thieves in Shigu Mountain immediately asked Zhang Heizi to go down the mountain and pick up Zhang Gouzi's family.
But who knew that when Zhang Heizi came back, he picked up Xiao Bai, and even brought along the old wife and grandson of Sun Ting Zhang.
Looking at Zhang Heizi's helpless smile, the leader of the thieves in Shigu Mountain touched his forehead and sighed:
"This time I have to fight the ribbons."
What happened next was just as predicted by the chief thief of Shigu Mountain.
The county temple saw that so many escaped slaves had taken away, and they knew they couldn't cope with it, so they mobilized troops to surround Shigu Mountain.
When my father arrived, the people from Shigu Village had already fought three battles with the county soldiers. Fortunately, the battles were all small and there were no casualties.
Licheng County Lieutenant also held that more is worse than less, so he just withdrew his troops. This time, he could explain to the county that it was not that they didn't try hard, but that it was really difficult to control the thieves.
However, the county soldiers withdrew, but Shigu Village did not lower its vigilance. Instead, several scouts were sent out to follow the county soldiers along the way. Only after seeing them entering the city did they return with confidence.
Instead, on the way back to the mountain, they encountered a situation.
Shigu Mountain is surrounded by stone roads, the forest is deep and dense, and you can hear deer croaking from time to time.
At this moment, as soon as the scouts from Shigu Village approached a boulder in a stream, they heard something was wrong. There was someone in the stream behind the stone.
The leader was a man in black, carrying a robe with four halberds hanging on his shoulders.
He stopped the intrusion of the people behind him, crouched there, and listened hard for a while.
Then he drew out a halberd and was about to throw it out.
Who knows, a voice suddenly came from behind:
"Don't do it."
Fortunately, the man in black had a firm grip. Just as he was about to reprimand, he saw three people jumping out from behind the stone.
He was about to throw again under the pressure, when he saw a middle-aged man in front of him, suddenly overjoyed and shouted behind him:
"Second brother?"
"Third brother?"
It turned out that these were Zhang Bingnan and Zhang Ernan.
Zhang Bingnan and the other three were just getting dressed behind the stone when they heard an urgent cry from the other side, and they came out with a knife without tying the belt around their waists.
As soon as he came out, he saw his second brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. If it weren't for his disheveled clothes, he would have hugged him.
I was anxious before, but now I know that they are acquaintances, so even though my little dad is used to traveling around the world, his face is burning.
After the younger brother finished tidying up, he stepped forward and took the second brother's hand, asking questions.
Zhang Ernan was already bored, and when he saw his dead third brother reappearing, he couldn't say a word. He could only hold Bingnan's hand and kept saying:
"中"
Things became simple after that. The two of them told each other one by one about the situation of the past few days. Although everyone is now separated in two places, it is a lot of comfort to know that everything is fine.
Zhang Ernan suddenly thought of something and said to Bingnan:
"Liu Gong is dead, Heizi killed him."
Yes, Heizi never let go of Liu Gong after all.
After he returned to the mountain to fully recover, he went down the mountain one dark night.
On the way to Liu Gong's house, Heizi took the old way, and with the cover of night, when Heizi got to Liu Gong's house, the man was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms.
Heizi still used his knife to stab Liu Gong's heart in one stroke, and then gouged out his heart in a few strokes.
Liu Gong struggled to death and woke up his concubine.
Seeing blood all over the bed, the concubine was about to scream when Heizi cut her throat.
Before leaving, Heizi nailed Liu Gong's heart to the wall, and used the blood from his heart to write on the wall:
"The murderer is Zhang Heizi."
After finishing writing, he brushed off his clothes and left.
When the two Zhang brothers were mourning the death of their old friend and saying that everything was their own fault, the man in black became impatient and deliberately coughed twice to remind them that it was enough.
This cough reminded Man C. He bowed to the black man and asked respectfully:
"I wonder what the name of a hero is?"
After all, he was an elder. When the black man saw him saluting, he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly helped him up:
"If you don't deserve the courtesy of the elders and the untouchables have dirty ears, just call me 'Tiger in the Mountains'."
