Astral Apostle Chapter 190: Avoiding war and friends
In 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 Hongyun Mountain minions.
More than 2,000 people stopped and went. On the way, Peng Jin narrated 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, The prime minister' Wang He... There are high and low martial arts, but no one is the opponent of the Hong brothers. It's just that although the village owner Xu Gui's kung fu is not very good, he has some strategies and manages Huang Dangshan very prosperously."
Peng Jin's tone was a little jealous.
Zhou Jing was curious: "What is the prosperous method?"
Peng Jin explained: "There are three villages near Huangdang Mountain, all of which are fornicating with the cottage, and they are their eyesight, guarding a few necessary roads. Whenever there is trouble, those villagers will go up the mountain to report the news. As long as outsiders approach, they will alarm Huang Dangshan. In addition, their fortifications are quite complete, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they have purchased a lot of weapons and weapons from nowhere, which is very difficult to deal with."
Hong Dingxian also interjected and said in a deep voice:
"In terms of martial arts, we naturally have the upper hand, but the leaders of Huangdang Mountain rarely compete with us. After many contests, we lost more and won less, and suffered losses many times, so we forged a beam.”
...It sounds like the owner of the Huangdang cottage has an idea, and the development is really good.
Zhou Jing blinked: "What is the origin of this Xu Gui?"
"This person is a scholar, but he has failed many times. I don't know why he has been living in the wild. It has been many years now." 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. But I have some impressions of the village owner Xu Gui. He behaves in a proper manner, 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.
Huangdangshan's style of work is quite 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 the generals...
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
…
The group of people 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.
It is difficult for an army of more than 2,000 people to sneak up on the site operated by the other party, not to mention that this time it is a big invitation to fight, so they can't avoid people. Everyone walks directly into the mountain road, using the fastest Speed up the hill.
Not long after, the Huangdang Shanzhai came into view.
It is surrounded by dense forests and 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 quite 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 we attack such a dangerous terrain?"
Fang was really 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. No, otherwise the people and horses of the main village and the 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, you can directly divide the area below. The village was buried."
Hearing the words, 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 are thick and rocky, and it doesn't look like they will easily landslides.
Zhou Jing shook his head, threw the idea aside, and returned to the topic: "Our trip is not to attack the cottage, but to call for an invitation to fight and lead them out."
Peng Jin hurriedly nodded, looked at Huang Dangshan, and then felt 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 the way? In the past, when we encountered us, most of them would come out to fight, but this time they stayed behind closed doors. already?"
Just as the group was muttering, a middle-aged scholar in a blue robe suddenly appeared at the crenel of the wall of the fortress 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 aloud:
"The leaders of Hutoushan Mountain, what are you doing in my Huangdang Mountains?"
Hearing the words, Peng Jin calmed down and stepped out of the crowd, shouting loudly:
"You and I have never been at odds with each other. Today, I led the crowd to the door, just to settle the grievances of the past and beat you Huang Dangshan to the bum!"
When we were on the road, everyone discussed it. This time, Hutoushan, the old opponent, came out and called the battle 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 the owner of Pengzhai so elegant today? Could it be that he greedy for two more cups?"
"Stop getting close to me, come out and fight, let's fight!"
Peng Jin pointed his sword 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 tricks with you. Besides, my shanzhai brother's life is precious, how can I be free to fight bravely with you?" /
At this moment, Shi Dong suddenly had a flash of light and deliberately shouted:
"Aren't you Huangdangshan afraid to take on the fight? Hmph, a bunch of timid rats, I think you shouldn't call Huangdangshan, it's better to call it... Yandangshan!"
He remembered how he was planted in Fang Zhen's hands, so he learned something.
However, Xu Gui was unmoved, he laughed and said:
"If you haven't seen him for a long time, the stone collar will also use his brain, but only the foolish will be recruited, right?"
"Who are you saying 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:
"Pengzhai master, I have no interest in competing with you recently. If you want to fight, come and try to attack my cottage, or else go back to where you came from."
After he finished speaking, he actually lowered 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, so he stopped singing.
Huang Dangshan was heavily guarded, and there were archers standing guard. His two thousand men could not attack head-on, so he could only stare in situ.
"The surnamed Xu is really a coward, what should I do now?" Shi Dong scratched his head.
"What's the hurry, let me think about it."
Peng Jin's face was a little overwhelmed, and he racked 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, let me find a way."
"What's the plan, brother?"
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, yelling 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 their stockade, attack from the inside, take down their leaders directly, and force them to surrender, and that's what happened."
After closing the door, things have to be done. If you can't lure your opponent out of the village, you can only use some extraordinary means.
Because Huangdang Mountain has two stockades, he has no ability to clone himself, and once again a single person breaks the door, 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's okay 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. As long as he avoids the sight of the sentry at night and sneaks into the stockade, it is not a problem.
Guo Haishen was a little worried: "Second brother went alone, I'm afraid of losing, let me walk with you."
Zhou Jing shook his head: "No need, I'd better act alone. If I want to leave, they won't be able to keep me. My eldest brother is also excellent in martial arts, so I'll 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, Hutoushan is our defeated general, and now he dares to shout down below, it's really hateful, why don't you let me go out to fight and give them a head-on? Now, they will increase their prestige for nothing!"
Another leader, Yu Zhen, complained loudly.
Xu Gui's eyes flickered and he said slowly:
"Hutou Mountain went up to the mountain to invite battle without warning. There must be something strange. I saw that Peng Jin seemed to want to lead us to the battle. Although I didn't know the reason, he couldn't follow his wishes. As soon as he aired, he braked statically."
The leaders nodded and accepted the explanation.
Although Xu Gui has almost no martial arts skills and is the worst among the leaders, he has risen with Huangdangshan over the years, and the leaders have 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 I don't know what it is. But he is so supportive and gives me a chance. If he takes the opportunity to act, he will take advantage of the situation to take down Peng Jin and others. People can annex Hutoushan Mountain, and I, Huangdangshan Mountain, 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 owner?" Someone asked.
Xu Gui thought about it for a while, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with a chuckle:
"Let's take a look at Peng Jin's movements first. If he is camping outside and will not leave, then we will divide our troops into two night raids tonight. One team will go to Xiazhai to lead troops and attack from the front, while the other team will attack from the front. If you go out of the village, outflank the opponent's back, and attack from the front and back, you will definitely be able to take down Peng Jin's group!"
He knew the way of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. He not only built the Huangdang Mountain Village on the terrain of these heights and drops, but also ordered people to dig several secret passages to connect the outside world, so that outsiders would not know about it.
Just as everyone was discussing, the person sitting at the bottom suddenly said:
"Wait, Zhaizhu, can you listen to me?"
Huang Dangshan originally had five leaders, but at this moment there were six people sitting in the hall, and the one who spoke was the extra one.
Xu Gui heard the words, looked at this person, and said with a smile:
"Brother Deng Zhi will speak up if he has something to say, and 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 master of Huangdang Mountain. He has only fallen into the grass in recent days, and he has not yet become famous in the green forest. Not yet known.
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 his name, but you don't know him. , I have played against him, and I will never forget his appearance, and I will never admit my mistake!"
"You mean urging Yama?!"
Xu Gui and the leaders were stunned for a moment, but did not expect such a discovery.
Deng Zhi nodded: "Then after Chen Feng made a riot in Anlin Mansion, he disappeared, but now he is mixed with Hutou Mountain, it is very likely that he fell grass there and became a bandit... The village owner just judged the tiger. The head mountain is relied upon, in my opinion, it must be Chen Feng!"
Another leader was puzzled: "I've heard about Yama's martial arts skills, but he's only one person, can he be Hutoushan's reliance?"
"Don't underestimate this person!!"
Deng Zhi immediately shouted, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that everyone was stunned by a roar, Deng Zhi calmed down slightly and said solemnly:
"You don't know this person's ability, but I have seen it with my own eyes. That Chen Feng has the courage of ten thousand husbands, and his fierce aura is like a demon descending to the world! If he is rushed by him without knowing it, most of the children will If morale plummets, you will be defeated in an instant! That Hutoushan deliberately invites battles outside, this should be the idea!"
"Does Brother Deng have a way to control the enemy?"
Xu Gui frowned and asked worriedly.
Deng Zhi took a deep breath, looked resentful, gritted his teeth and said:
"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 imagining how to deal with him. Form a formation, trap him in the formation, squeeze him and kill him! Or dig a crypt and lure him deeper, 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 person alive and invite him up the mountain to gather justice, so that I can get this person in Huang Dangshan. Strong general~IndoMTL.com~ The owner of the village thinks twice! If there is any reservation, I am afraid that the ship will capsize in the sewer!"
Deng Zhi was in a hurry and quickly persuaded him.
Xu Gui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will deal with it carefully. If it is really impossible, I can only kill the killer... By the way, Brother Deng used to be the commander of officers and soldiers, proficient in the method of marching and fighting. It's my village that can use soldiers and it happens that Chen Feng has a bad relationship with you, so how about the Deng brothers and the sons to do this errand?"
Deng Zhi's expression froze, and a war between heaven and man suddenly occurred in his heart.
The encounter in the Anlin Mansion made him so frightened that he lost his mind, 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, so Deng Zhi has a little confidence.
He struggled for a while, then he just gritted his teeth, got up and bowed his hands, and said decisively:
"On that day, I ordered Yama to make a riot in the Anlin Mansion and cut off the prefect's arm. I was also implicated. I was sentenced by the government to be ineffective in guarding and escaping from the battle. I was sent to the frontier. I have escaped. So far, I have not achieved an inch, and I am willing to be the vanguard in this battle!"
Seeing this, Xu Gui laughed and nodded in satisfaction:
"If you can defeat Hutou Mountain and capture Chen Feng alive in this battle, you will be remembered as the first deed of Brother Deng!"
