Astral Apostle - Chapter 197

[One hundred and ninety avoid war and old friends]

On this expedition, Peng Jin was eager to make contributions, and directly brought two thousand tiger-headed bandit soldiers to gain momentum, while Zhou Jing’s side was still the original two hundred Red Cloud Mountain robbers.

More than 2,000 people stopped and went. On the way, Peng Jin talked about the situation of Huangdang Mountain by the way.

“Then Huangdang Mountain has five leaders, namely, the village owner ‘Xiao Wenqu’ Xu Gui, ‘the bull-shattering hand’ Yu Zhen, ‘Four-handed Arhat’ Tang Guang, ‘Qianli Er’ Qiu Yong, and ‘Ma Prime Minister’ Wang There are highs and lows in martial arts, but no one is the opponent of Brother Hong. It’s just that although the master of the village, Xu Gui, is not very good at kung fu, he has some strategies and manages Huangdangshan very well.”

Peng Jin’s tone was a little jealous .

.

Zhou Jing was curious: “What is the prosperous law?”

Peng Jin explained: “Then there are three villages near Huangdang Mountain, all of which are fornicating with the cottage, and they are their eyeliners, guarding a few necessary roads. When there is trouble, Those villagers would go up the mountain to report the news, and as long as outsiders approached, they would surely disturb Huangdang Mountain. In addition, their fortifications are quite perfect, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they don’t know where to buy a lot of weapons and equipment, which is very difficult to deal with.”

Hong Dingxian He also interjected and said in a deep voice:

“If it comes to martial arts, we will naturally have the upper hand, but the leaders of Huangdang Mountain rarely fight with us. Hutou Mountain is very powerful. In the past, we fought many times, we lost more and won less, and we suffered many losses, so we formed a Liangzi.”

… It sounds like this Huangdang cottage owner has an idea, and the development is really good.

Zhou Jing blinked: “What’s the origin of this Xu Gui?”

“This man is a scholar, but he has failed many times. I don’t know why he has been living in the wild for many years.” Peng Jin replied.

Guo Haishen also said at the right time: “I have also visited Huangdang Mountain. The chiefs on the mountain are proficient in some side-door skills, but the martial arts are very common, so I am not very interested. However, I have some impressions of Xu Gui, the village owner. Du, holding a book and reading all day, not like a man in the green forest, but like a scholar.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing pondered in his heart.

The style of Huangdangshan is very different from that of Hutoushan.

The chiefs have ordinary skills, and most of them are unique brothers in other fields, so they do not rely on personal martial arts like Hutoushan to show their might and courage.

I’m afraid it’s not that easy to lead them out to compete with martial generals…

Zhou Jing thought to himself.

…

the team trekked all the way, and it didn’t take long before they reached the boundary of Huangdang Mountain, and they did not deliberately avoid the village at the foot of the mountain.

First, because the village is located on the main road into the mountain, it is difficult to avoid it. Second, even in the path of the mountain forest, there are wandering sentries of Huangdang Mountain.

The troops of more than 2,000 people wanted to sneak up on the site operated by the other party, but it was difficult to achieve. Besides, this time it was a big invitation to fight.

Not long after, the Huangdangshan cottage came into view.

Covered by dense forests, the terrain is dangerous.

The main village is located on an extended cliff and is accessed by hanging baskets.

There is a Fenzhai below the cliff. As a gateway to the pass, the fortifications are more complete than Hutou Mountain.

There are arrow towers on both sides of the Fenzhai Gate, and there are spiked trenches and wooden fences in front of the gate. Through the crenels on the wall, you can see that many thieves are patrolling or standing guard, and they are well prepared.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Fang Zhen originally thought that Hutou Shanzhai was already very easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that he saw Huangdang Mountain, he knew what a dangerous place was.

In contrast, the stockade in Hutoushan is simply undefended, like the difference between a professional and an amateur.

“How can you attack such a dangerous terrain?”

Fang Zhen was greatly surprised.

Guo Haishen pondered and analyzed:

“If you want to win this village, you must divide your troops into two groups. One team will attack the main village from the other side of the mountain road, which must be guarded by heavy troops, while the other team will break through this sub-cliff. Either one is indispensable, otherwise the people and horses of the main village and the branch village can transfer to each other with hanging baskets at any time, and they can fight or retreat.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, all in agreement .

Zhou Jing touched his chin and said, “This village is really safe, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I’m afraid of landslides… You see, if the cliff above the main village collapses, the sub villages below can be buried directly. Yes

.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions were subtle.

One thing to say, it seems to be the case…

But even if there is this weakness, it must be done by the gods. The cliffs and rock walls are thick, and it doesn’t look like it will easily landslide.

Zhou Jing shook his head, threw this thought aside, and went back to the main topic: “We’re not going to attack the cottage, but to call for an invitation to fight and lead them out.”

Peng Jin nodded quickly, looking at Huang Dangshan, and then he was a little puzzled:

“Strange, we walked all the way without covering up. There must have been Huang Dangshan’s eyeliner to tip off the news. Why was no one blocking us on the road? In the past, they would come out to fight when they met us, but this time they closed the door and couldn’t come out?”

Just as the group was muttering, a middle-aged scholar in a blue robe suddenly appeared at the crenel of the fortified wall at the foot of the cliff.

This blue-robed scholar with a short beard under his jaw and a clean appearance is Xu Gui, the owner of the Huangdang cottage.

Xu Gui looked at the more than 2,000 people here, and said in a loud voice,

“The leaders of Hutoushan Mountain, what are you doing here in my Huangdang Mountain area?”

Hearing this, Peng Jin became calm and came out of the crowd, shouting loudly:

“The two of you and I have never been on good terms. Today, I led the crowd to the door, just to end the grievances of the past and beat you Huang Dangshan to the bum!”

On the way, everyone discussed it, this time by the old rival Hutoushan went out and called the formation as usual.

Zhou Jing and the others did not appear for the time being, they hid in the team, waited until they were led out, and then rushed to catch the leader.

Xu Gui didn’t get angry when he heard the words, he stroked his beard and smiled and joked: “Why is Pengzhai Master so elegant today? Could it be that he greedy for two more cups?

” one!”

Peng Jin pointed his knife at him, shouting and inviting battle.

Xu Gui didn’t change his face, and said calmly, “I’m not feeling well today, and I don’t have the heart to play with you. Besides, my shanzhai brother’s life is precious, so how can I be free to fight bravely with you?

” Dong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and deliberately shouted:

“Don’t you Huangdangshan dare not fight? Hmph, a group of timid rats, I think you should stop calling Huangdangshan, it’s better to call it…Let’s call it Yandangshan!”

He This is because he remembered how he was planted in Fang Zhen’s hands, so he learned something.

However, Xu Gui was unmoved, he laughed and said,

“I haven’t seen you for a long time, and the stone collar will also use his brain, but only a fool

who lacks heart will be recruited, right?” “Who do you say is heartless! “Shi Dong blushed, and immediately became angry.

Fang Zhen’s mouth twitched when he heard it, and he quietly kicked Shi Dong in the back, telling him to shut up quickly and stop embarrassing.

Xu Gui glanced at the crowd, and said slowly:

“Pengzhaizhu, I have no interest in competing with you recently. If you want to fight, come and try to attack my cottage, otherwise it’s better to go back to where you came from.”

After speaking, he actually He immediately got off the crenel, stopped talking to everyone, and rode the hanging basket back to the main village on the cliff.

Peng Jin was a little dumbfounded.

He didn’t even want to fight, and he stopped acting.

Huangdangshan was heavily guarded, and there were archers standing guard. It was impossible for these two thousand men to attack directly, so they could only stare in situ.

“The surnamed Xu is really cowardly, what should I do now?” Shi Dong scratched his head.

“What’s the hurry, let me think about it.”

Peng Jin couldn’t hang his face, racking his brains to think.

However, after thinking about it for dozens of breaths, he didn’t even hold back a fart.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t bother, I’ll find a way.”

“Brother, what’s the trick?”

Peng Jin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked.

Zhou Jing looked at the situation of Huangdang Mountain, and then looked at the sky again, his eyes flashed, and he was worried.

“This Huang Dangshan is unwilling to fight, we can’t wait here… In this way, you will camp here and confront each other, yell every once in a while, and shut up at night to give them a chance to rest. At that time, I will quietly climb the mountain and sneak into them. The stockade, attacked from within, took down their leaders directly, forced them to surrender, and that’s how things were done.”

After closing the door, things had to be done, and if they couldn’t lure their opponents out of the stockade, they could only use some extraordinary means.

Because there are two stockades in Huangdang Mountain, and I have no ability to do it myself, and once again breaking the door alone, the effect is not so big.

Moreover, Huangdang Mountain’s defense level is far higher than that of Hutou Mountain. I don’t know how to get the bows and arrows, and arrange many archers to stand guard on the pass and the arrow tower. If I want to break the door, I have to withstand a big wave of arrows, and there is a certain chance of being injured.

It is possible to push hard, but the risk is not small, so Zhou Jing thought about it and felt that it would be better to use a more flexible method this time.

Although the terrain of Huangdang Mountain is dangerous, he can easily climb it with his own skills. As long as he avoids the sight of the sentry by taking advantage of the night, it is not a problem to sneak into the stockade.

Guo Haishen was a little worried: “Second brother goes alone, I’m afraid of losing, I’ll walk with you.”

Zhou Jing shook his head: “No need, I’d better act alone, if I want to leave, they can’t keep me. , eldest brother is also excellent in martial arts, so I will sit here just in case.”

Hearing this, Guo Haishen had no choice but to agree.

Everyone had seen Zhou Jing’s bravery, so they didn’t object to this plan.

At the same time, Xu Gui returned to the main village and was discussing with the leaders of Huangdang

Mountain in the hall.

“Zhaizhu, that Hutoushan is our defeated general, and now he dares to shout down below, it’s really hateful, why don’t you let me wait to go out to fight and give them a head-on attack? Right now we can’t stay behind closed doors, it seems that we are afraid, plain white. Raise their prestige!”

Another leader, Yu Zhen, complained loudly.

Xu Gui’s eyes flickered, and he said slowly:

“Hutou Mountain went up the mountain without any warning to invite battle, there must be something strange. I saw that Peng Jin seemed to want to lead us to the battle, although I don’t know the reason, but he couldn’t follow his intention. For the time being Let him yell outside, let him dry, and stop it.” All

the leaders nodded and accepted the explanation.

Although Xu Gui was almost inexperienced in martial arts and was the worst among the leaders, he had led Huang Dangshan to rise over the years, and the leaders had long believed in him.

Xu Gui stroked his beard and pondered:

“Peng Jin dares to block my cottage with 2,000 people. He must be reliant on it, but he doesn’t know what it is. But he is so supportive and gives me a chance. If he takes the opportunity to act, Taking advantage of the situation to take down Peng Jin and others, we will be able to annex Hutoushan Mountain, and I, Huangdangshan, will dominate the Luhe family from now on!” The

eyes of the leaders lit up, and after eating this tempting pie, they immediately became excited.

“What’s the strategy of the village master?” someone asked.

Xu Gui thought for a while, then twitched his lips and said with a chuckle,

“Look at this Peng Jin’s movements first, if he is camping outside and won’t leave, then we will split our troops into two night raids tonight, and one team will go to Xiazhai to lead the way. Soldiers go into battle, attack from the front, and the other team will leave the village through the secret road, outflank the opponent’s back road, attack from front and back, and they will definitely be able to take down Peng Jin’s group!”

He knew the way of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, not only to separate the Huangdang cottage. It was built on the terrain with such a high and low drop, and it also ordered people to dig several secret passages to connect the outside world, so that outsiders would not know.

Just as everyone was discussing, the person sitting at the bottom suddenly said,

“Zhaizhu, wait a minute, can you listen to me?”

Huangdangshan originally had five leaders, but at this moment there were six people sitting in the hall. This is one more person.

Xu Gui heard the words, looked at the man, and said with a smile,

“Brother Deng Zhi can speak if he has something to say, just speak freely.”

This sixth person is Deng Zhi, who used to be the commander of the Ma Jun in Anlin Mansion. Now he has become the sixth head of Huangdang Mountain. He has only fallen for the past few days. Know.

He has lost a lot of weight now and has tattoos on his face.

Deng Zhi pressed on the armrest of the seat and said solemnly: “Just now, when I looked down from the cottage, I saw that Chen Feng was hiding in the formation. You have only heard of his name, but you don’t know him. He has fought, and he will never forget his appearance, and he will never admit his mistake!”

“You mean urging Yama?!”

Xu Gui and the leaders were stunned for a moment, not expecting such a discovery.

Deng Zhi nodded: “Then after Chen Feng made a big disturbance in the Anlin Mansion, he disappeared, but now he is mixed with Hutou Mountain, it is very likely that he was a pirate there… The village owner just judged that Hutou Mountain was there. Relying, in my opinion, it must be Chen Feng!”

Another leader was puzzled: “I have heard of this urging Yama’s martial arts skills, but he is only a mere person, can he be Hutoushan’s reliance? ”

Everyone, please don’t underestimate this person!!”

Deng Zhi shouted immediately, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that everyone was stunned by a roar, Deng Zhi calmed down slightly and said solemnly:

“You guys don’t know what this person is, but I have seen it with my own eyes. Xingxia! If they were attacked by him without knowing it, most of the children would have their morale plummeted, and they would be defeated in an instant! That Hutoushan deliberately called for battle outside, it should be the idea of the fight!”

“Then Brother Deng has control. The law of the enemy?”

Xu Gui frowned and asked worriedly.

Deng Zhi took a deep breath, looked resentful, and gritted his teeth:

“This Chen Feng has caused me to lose my official position. I hate him to the core. For the past few months, I have been thinking about how to deal with him. Five hundred swordsmen and spearmen form a formation, trap him in the formation, squeeze and kill him! Or dig a crypt, lure him further, and when he falls into a trap, shoot him with arrows!”

Xu Gui pondered for a while, but shook his head:

“This Chen Fengruo is so amazing, but I have a love for talent. It’s better to keep this guy alive and invite him up the mountain to gather justice, so that Huang Dangshan can get this great general. UU “Read the book www.sonicmtl.com”

“The owner of the village thinks twice! If he has reservations, he is afraid that the ship will capsize in the sewer!”

Deng Zhi was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded.

Xu Gui waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I will deal with it carefully, if it’s really impossible, I can only kill the killer… By the way, Brother Deng used to be the commander of officers and soldiers, and he is proficient in the method of marching and fighting. You can use soldiers, and it just happened that Chen Feng had a bad relationship with you, so how about the Deng brothers and the sons to do this errand?”

Deng Zhi’s expression froze, and the war between heaven and man suddenly occurred in his heart.

The encounter in Anlin Mansion made him so frightened that he lost his soul, and there was a deep fear in his heart, and he subconsciously did not dare to deal with Zhou Jing.

But now there are thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, and the number of people is overwhelming, which makes Deng Zhi feel a little more confident.

He struggled for a while, then simply gritted his teeth, got up and cupped his hands, and said decisively:

“That day, when he urged Yama to make a riot in the Anlin Mansion, and cut off the prefect’s arm, I was also implicated. Distributed to the frontier. Fortunately, the village master was rescued on the road, and this was the only way to escape. So far, I have not made any achievements in this battle, and I am willing to be a pioneer in this battle!”

Xu Gui laughed and nodded with satisfaction:

“This battle If you can defeat the Hutou Mountain soldiers and horses and capture Chen Feng alive, you will remember the Deng Brothers’ first merit!”
