Wei Yang was actually very worried about Chu Yunyun, the acting hall leader.
This is just a fourteen-year-old girl. How can she understand what it means to be a public servant? What is the art of war?
Isn't it child's play for an innocent girl to command tens of thousands of people to fight?
However, this was Chu Xisheng's instructions before leaving, and Wei Yang had to obey.
He accepts death.
The Chu family brothers and sisters saved his life and gave him a generous salary, so he had to sell his life to others!
And there was no one else in the entire Xishan Hall who could convince the crowd, not even his colleague Li Shenshan.
Only the blood relationship between Chu Yunyun and Chu Xisheng allowed everyone to temporarily suppress their thoughts and listen to her orders.
But just as their group was entering the mountain through the Xianxian Gorge, Chu Yunyun rode to Wei Yang's side, and she also called Li Shenshan and others over.
"Master Wei, Altar Master Lu from Lu Plain sent a message just now, saying that the marching speed of those county troops is very slow. At this time, they are still about twenty-nine miles away from Zhengjia Village. This is an excellent opportunity to fight. I decided Push the battlefield seven miles forward and place it at the foot of Black Bear Mountain."
While Chu Yunyun was speaking, she picked up a stick and swung it quickly in the mud at her feet.
In the blink of an eye, a topographic map of twenty miles near Zhengjiacun appeared on the ground.
"Have you seen the terrain clearly? You are a captain who has been in the army for more than ten years. You should understand without me that the terrain here is of great benefit to us. Later, you will lead your headquarters and accelerate forward with Liu Ruoxi's Xizitan, from the fruit forest The village leader, three thousand hunters, plus two hunter divisions, rushed to set up a formation halfway up the south side of Black Bear Mountain, and asked all of them to carry fifty arrows."
Liu Ruoxi didn't know why, but she simply agreed.
Wei Yang was stunned and thought that Chu Yunyun's move was really powerful.
The southern foot of Black Bear Mountain is in the middle of a 'B' shaped gorge. When the opponent enters the gorge, they cannot see the arrow array they have set up.
But once the enemy enters the middle section of the gorge, the front and back roads of the nine thousand troops of Xiushui County will be blocked by their arrow formations.
There is also 'Black Bear Mountain', Wei Yang has learned about the terrain here.
Black Bear Mountain has only the southeast side. The slope near Zhengjia Village is relatively gentle and can accommodate large groups of people climbing. The other directions are extremely steep.
Because of its gentle mountains, it is the limit that can accommodate 3,000 hunters.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "The military situation is urgent. Wei will rush over immediately."
There was a hint of impatience in Wei Yang's tone.
——As long as they occupy Black Bear Mountain in advance, they can basically be invincible.
Chu Yunyun then said the same thing to the people in Lu Lulanli's "Huan Zi Tan": "Black Bear Mountain has a dangerous terrain. As long as they occupy this mountain, the Xiushui County army cannot take it down without spending three to five thousand lives." , they cannot afford such a price.
But I want to give it a try, to wipe out all nine thousand county troops on the south side of Black Bear Mountain, or at least severely damage most of them! Therefore, we had to completely cover the battlefield and not let their exploration cavalry get close. We learned that our army had occupied Black Bear Mountain in advance. Your Chaosi Tan will be responsible for this matter, with Xiang Kui and Wang Zheng each presiding over fifty people to hunt down the county army's detective cavalry in the Black Bear Mountain area. "
When everyone around him heard this, he immediately became energetic and thought that Chu Yunyun had a huge appetite! He actually wanted to forcefully eat these nine thousand county troops.
If this battle is successful, it will undoubtedly be bad news for the Shen family.
Xiushui's nine thousand county troops failed to suppress bandits in Xiushui County, losing most of their troops. Shen Zhou, the county lieutenant, will definitely be questioned.
——But it seems they can do this?
Even Xiang Kui and Wang Zheng looked stern after hearing this.
This little girl Chu is very methodical in fighting, and the terrain of Black Bear Mountain is indeed dangerous. It seems that Xishan Hall is not finished yet?
From this point of view, they still can't take advantage of the situation and have to work harder.
Chu Yunyun looked at Lu Luanli again: "Just let your subordinates go for this battle. Senior Sister Lu, you stay. I don't have any guards around me. Please stay and help me, Senior Sister Lu."
Lu Luanli understood this and stayed alone with Chu Yunyun, so she would have a chance to escape and fight as a mysterious master.
She immediately clasped her fists and responded valiantly: "Follow the order!"
Before Chu Xisheng left, he held her hand and asked her sincerely to help look after Xishan Hall.
Lu Luanli searched everywhere inside the hall for clues about Nishen's flagpole and Liewang's treasure, and he felt very guilty.
If she couldn't help Chu Xisheng protect this piece of property, Lu Luanli thought to herself that she would have no shame in meeting Chu Xisheng again.
As for her 'chaosijitan', Lu Luanli wasn't worried at all.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Xisheng arranged half of the nineteen spies and moles into the messy altar.
Therefore, the word "Luan", Tantan, is just like the Chinese character, very messy.
These guys are also very capable, and they will have no problem saving their lives.
If these guys dare not try their best, then it will be just as Lu Luanli wants, and they can be kicked out of Xishan Hall.
After these people, it was Li Shenshan's turn.
Chu Yunyun said in a solemn voice: "I am not familiar with military formations, and I don't know the art of war. But Lord Li Tan was born in Shence City, is experienced in the military, and is proficient in battle formations. Therefore, Lord Li Tan is fully responsible for facing a head-on battle. I Don't interfere. The only thing is to minimize our casualties. We would rather have smaller results than let our brothers lose their lives."
Li Shenshan looked at Chu Yunyun with a look of surprise and confusion in his eyes.
He wondered if the girl in front of him really didn't know the art of war.
When the girl waved her hand, there was a detailed and thoughtful topographic map.
It can be seen that she knows the topography of Xishan very well and has mountains and rivers in her mind.
Her arrangements for everyone are also very organized and organized.
Although he is young, his words can make people listen and believe him.
Li Shenshan couldn't help but think of the commander in the north who led them to victory in all battles and conquered every attack.
The two of them really look like——
Is this really just a coincidence?
Li Shenshan then calmed down his thoughts: "General, I will obey your orders and I will not disappoint you!"
It's nothing more than cooperating with Wei Yang's three thousand archers to block the nine thousand county troops in the gorge. What's the difficulty?
However, he unconsciously adopted the same tone as when he was in the Northern Army.
Chu Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand nonchalantly, signaling Li Shenshan to do something.
She then looked at the two strong men next to them who were as tall as iron towers.
These are two deputy altar leaders who were born in Xishan.
"Deputy Altar Master Li, Deputy Altar Master Zhang, have you heard my arrangement just now? You are both the marksmen in the hall, and you are all from Xishan. You should know who among the hunters has the best shooting skills.
There are one hundred strong bows of twenty-five stone each in the hall. I hope you will each choose fifty sharpshooters, climb up these two mountains, and dominate the whole place from a high position. I don't allow you to participate in the war. I only ask you to wait and keep the opponent's seventh-grade and above masters under my watch and lock them up. "
Chu Yunyun really planned to entrust all the frontal war to Li Shenshan, but there were still some details to be arranged.
For example, there are fifty seventh-grade martial arts cultivators among the county army, and there are five sixth-grade martial artists. The foundations of Xishan Hall and Xishan Orion are still a little bit different.
Chu Yunyun thought to herself that it would be nice if there were more young men in this hall.
At this moment, a large group of people dressed as hunters came over from the front.
They are of different ages, either in their prime or very old.
However, their expressions were all livid and solemn.
Lu Luanli recognized these people as the hunting leaders from Xishan.
They rushed over at this time, probably because they were worried about the current Xishan Hall and Chu Yunyun.
Lu Luanli was a little worried, fearing that Chu Yunyun wouldn't be able to cope with it.
But soon after, he saw that the faces of the hunting leaders relaxed.
Lu Luanli was curious and leaned over to listen. Then he heard Chu Yunyun say: "——All the troops and plans this time were made by my brother before he left. If you don't believe me, you should believe my brother! I My brother traveled thousands of miles to protect his friends in Beijing. What a kind and righteous man he is, how could he put you to death?
In fact, what do you have to worry about? In today's battle, there will be dozens of four altars in our Xishan Hall, and 1,400 people will be at the forefront. If this battle can be won, you will do your best to help me. If the situation is not good, then you Orions can withdraw early.
There are mountains and forests all around here. If you all hide in the mountains, no matter how powerful the county soldiers are, they can't do anything to you. Now that all of you have been knocked to the bone by those thieves, how much property can be left in your family? It’s okay not to have this little possessions. My brother has said it before. If you have any losses, our Xishan Hall will fully compensate you. "
Lu Luanli felt that Chu Yunyun's words were soft and soft, as if they contained magic power and could soothe people's hearts, making everyone unconsciously obey and believe in his words.
She couldn't help but click in surprise.
If it hadn't been for today's battle, she wouldn't have known that Chu Xiaomei, who had always been weak and weak, could be such a powerful person.
But that’s right, how can a tiger brother have a canine sister?
It must be because Chu Xisheng usually teaches well.
※※※※
When Lieutenant Shen Zhou learned that all members of Xishan Hall were attacking Zhengjiacun, he met Long Heng and Shangguan Shenhao on the top of Xiushui County City.
After hearing the news, his face turned green immediately.
County Lieutenant Shen Zhou never expected that Xishan Hall would ignore the Dan family and go all out to save Zhengjia Village.
In terms of geography alone, Zhengjiacun is actually insignificant.
Those Orion villages are all inside Xishan. Even if they are all lost, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Xishan Hall.
On the contrary, once the several crossings that the Dan family is responsible for are broken by the Xishan bandits, the entire Xishan Town will be shaken.
They can even gather enough strength to attack Xishan Town.
What made Shen Zhou uneasy was Xishan Hall. They actually gathered a large number of hunters in Guolin Village!
In previous years, when Liu Dingtang was in charge of Xishan Town, these Xishan hunters were not so dedicated. Whenever Liu Dingtang gave orders, he always made excuses and made excuses.
In Chu Xisheng's hands, the twenty-seven Orion villages inside Xishan and the five Orion villages outside the mountain all responded to Xishan Hall's call and headed towards Guolin Village without any delay on the way.
——That’s a total of 7,300 people! Including the 200 hunters in Zhengjiacun, there are a total of 7,500 bows and knives!
In addition, there are 1,400 members of Xishan Hall!
This is an army of nearly 10,000 people.
Although they were all a mob, it took Chu Xisheng less than three months to knit them together without any battle formation drills. But the individual combat power of these people is extremely high, and almost all of them are advanced martial arts cultivators.
There are 8,900 ninth-level martial arts cultivators, most of whom are good at archery.
Just on paper, this huge force is very bluffing.
The overall combat power even far exceeds that of the Xiushui County Army under his command.
Lieutenant Shen Zhou was worried that it was the nine thousand Xiushui County troops.
The Xiushui County army was not Shen Zhou's own troops, but if the losses were too heavy, it would be difficult for him to explain to his superiors.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the soldiers and horses under your command?"
Shangguan Shenhao is playing chess with Long Heng.
He read the letter talisman handed over by Shen Zhou, and then took a closer look at Shen Zhou's expression, and he already guessed what happened.
Shangguan Shenhao was equally worried.
Xishan Hall’s mobilization ability is so amazing?
Were those hunters fed some drug by Chu Xisheng? Are you actually willing to mobilize the whole village for Xishan Hall and fight for him?
Shangguan Shenhao kept a calm expression on his face as he placed the pieces on the chessboard: "With all due respect, Lord Commander-in-Chief is too worried. The commanders of the Commander-in-Chief Forces under your command are all from the border army and are experienced in battle formations. How could he not be able to cope with those rabble?
If it doesn't work, the county captain can write a document asking them to be more restrained when using troops, not to attack forcefully, or even to defend according to danger. Our purpose is just to contain Xishan Hall's troops, there is no need to attack those Orion villages. "
Long Heng also offered words of consolation: "In the past years, Hall Master Liu also urged these hunters to fight, but the results were not satisfactory. I remember one time, the Iron Banner Gang only used 300 selected fronts to charge, and all the 2,000 hunters collapsed. They were swept away in one fell swoop.”
Shen Zhou's expression relaxed a little.
What Long Heng was talking about happened nine months ago when the Iron Banner Gang attacked Xishan Town for the third time.
After that battle, everyone knew that the hunters in Xishan were useless and could only be attacked, but they were not worth relying on.
Shangguan Shenhao smiled slightly at this time: "Let's do it! All the losses suffered by the Xiushui County Army in this battle will be borne by our three families. The casualties are within two thousand, and we will compensate the Lord Lieutenant for the number of Xiushui County Army's deaths.
Lost ordnance can be purchased, personnel can be recruited, and casualties can be compensated with money. As long as the Xiushui County army has enough soldiers and weapons, there is nothing to say from above. "
Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression relieved a little.
"Then it's settled!" Shen Zhou's eyes flashed: "I have been dating Brother Shangguan for so long, but today's incident is quite happy."
Shangguan Shenhao smiled slightly and continued to play chess with Long Heng.
He held the chess pieces in his hands, his expression calm and calm, and his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Xishantang's failure to save the Dan family is actually good news for us. The key to this battle is the entrance to Guiwei Gorge. As long as the Dan family's defense is broken, Lockdown, we are all alive.
Brother Shen, it's getting late, it's time to let those Xishan bandits take action. Since the Dan family insists and still wants to wait and see, there is no need to persuade them to surrender. This Xiushui chessboard has no room for these people who are at both ends of the spectrum! "
"Why do you need to say anything about this?"
Lieutenant Shen Zhou raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Dan Chiling dared to attach himself to Xishan Hall and act as an accomplice. This time I will kill his entire clan, old and young, to serve as a warning to others!"
※※※※
No coincidence.
Dan Chiling, who was standing on the stone castle in the center of Guiwei Gorge, had the same complexion as the previous commander Shen Zhou, as black as iron.
"All 1,400 members of the Xishan Hall went to Zhengjia Village? Was it the little girl Chu Yunyun who was in charge? Have they made up their mind not to come to rescue us?"
After Dan Chiling asked the messenger who returned from Xishan Town, he couldn't help but cursed: "It must be Chu Xisheng's order before he left. This little Chi Lao! Little scoundrel! Killer of a thousand cuts! He is so vicious that pus will flow from the soles of his feet. He wants to Force my family to fight these thieves!"
His son Danze looked solemn and thoughtful: "Could Chu Xisheng have seen through our roots?"
"It's possible." Dan Chiling put his hands behind his back: "But the most urgent task now is, should we hold on to this crossing?"
"Do we still have a choice?" Danze sneered, with a hint of sarcasm.
He then shook the letter talisman in his hand: "Here is a piece of news that may be useful to you, dad. Xishan Hall called on thirty-two Orion villages to help in the war, but there was no excuse. Now 7,500 Orions have gathered in Fruit Grove Village.”
Dan Chiling was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Seven thousand five hundred hunters? Seven thousand five hundred bows and knives, how did he do it?"
Danze didn't know the reason and could only guess: "Those Xishan hunters may really think that Chu Xisheng is benevolent and righteous. Although he received Ping An's money, he didn't take any of it and spent it all on the hunters themselves. And the previous few Oh my god, Xishan Hall has just underwritten a batch of mountain goods for them. The price is much more reasonable than before. I heard it is more than double the price.
The current Chu Hall Master has an excellent reputation among the Orions. Moreover, although the Xiushui County Army's attack on Zhengjiacun was aimed at Xishan Hall, it was actually the hunters' own business, and they had to do their best. "
Dan Chiling fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He knew what Danze meant. Since Xishan Hall had conquered the hearts of all the hunters, Zhengjia Village should be able to withstand it.
As long as they can hold on for a while at Ghost Crying Gorge, Xishan Hall will definitely not lose——
At this time, there was a sudden roar nearby, interrupting Dan Chiling's thoughts.
It was a large boulder thrown by a trebuchet, and it hit the front of the stone castle, causing the entire stone castle to shake.
The thieves were exerting their strength. A total of eight six-arm crossbows, twenty scorpion crossbows, and six trebuchets were firing continuously, bombarding the three stone forts until they were devastated and on the verge of collapse.
After Dan Chiling came back to his senses, he remembered that the thieves had been there for half a moment and had not made any attempt to persuade them to surrender.
The one opposite is also offal! It’s time to kill thousands of people! They no longer want to give the Dan family a way to survive!
He couldn't help but sigh.
Knowing the situation at hand, we can no longer delay.
Just as his son Danze said, that rogue Chu Xisheng was too sophisticated, leaving the Dan family with no choice.
"Go down with the order and let off the smoke!" Dan Chiling narrowed his eyes and showed a fierce intention: "You have to be fast! Within half a moment at most, I will make the smoke cover the entire gorge. Danze, go and inform the tribe. , there is no need to hold back in this battle. Enter his ancestors! Whoever wants our Dan family to die, I will kill them first!"
I don’t know if it’s God’s blessing, but there’s not even a bit of wind in Guiwei Gorge today.
At this time, three miles away from the opposite side, Xia Qingtian, the master of Jiudaowu Dock, Jinghong Dao, and Mengyun Shan, the master of Baiyun Village, both looked calm and looked at the three stone castles in front of them with boredom.
The entire Xishan Hall sent troops to Zhengjiacun, which may be bad news for the county captain Shen Zhou, but for the two of them, it is an out-and-out good thing.
This means that their brothers can take down the crossing of Guiwei Gorge with fewer casualties.
Especially after Shen Zhou promised to capture Guiwei Gorge in order to induce them to help. All the assets, stores, and population of the Dan family were allowed to be plundered by them.
The Dan family is a very rich man in Xishan. The family is extremely rich and has two to three hundred thousand magic silver.
But what the two of them valued more was the food and grass stored by the Dan family.
The blockade of Xishan Hall this time really made them suffer. The food reserves of several thieves' dens were actually exhausted in less than half a month.
If they hadn't plundered a lot from the hunters, they might have had to abandon Xishan within two months at most.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes, so both of them intended to store some food and grass in Wuzhai.
Without three to five months' worth of food, they can't sleep well now.
And as the three stone castles gradually became dilapidated, they were about to fall. Both of them were distracted to varying degrees, expecting that after the Dan family lost their fortifications, they would no longer be able to resist their offensive.
Until they saw large clouds of smoke covering the battlefield.
"grass!"
Meng Yunshan, the leader of Baiyun Village, immediately thought of the battle at 'Wenjiabao' not long ago.
He cursed his mother secretly and felt a little panicked.
That mysterious fifth-grade master is actually in Guiwei Gorge!
"All ministries be on guard!" Meng Yunshan shouted: "All troops, horses and equipment, retreat three miles! If all ministries are attacked, do not panic or retreat, just report loudly! Where is Mr. Xi, where is he? Please hurry up Come here."
The Mr. Xi he spoke of was Xi Quan, the former chief general of the Shangguan family.
It was specially invited by the Shangguan family to deal with the fifth-grade mysterious master.
Xi Quan was originally in Ghost Crying Gorge, but after learning that Xishan Hall sent troops to Zhengjia Village, he rushed there again.
After all, the main force of Xishan Hall is over there.
"I've already sent the talisman, and I think I'll be back within half an hour."
Jinghong Dao Xia Qingtian pulled out his Yanling Dao: "Before this, we can only work together."
Both of them are among the top 80 people on the Dongzhou Black List, with cultivation levels above the sixth level.
The two of them working together were enough to fight that fifth-grade man.
Just as they were talking, the green smoke had already covered a distance of two miles outside the stone castle! Some thieves who were unable to retreat were surrounded by various instruments.
This green smoke obviously has magic to boost its momentum. Not only does it expand quickly, but it is also so dense that it can't be seen.
Even with Xia Qingtian's sixth-level cultivation, he could only see fifty feet inside the thick smoke.
And the next moment, a large number of exclamations sounded from all directions.
"Big Boss, our boss, Fifth Boss Lou Jun, died in the battle. He only survived one move!"
"The one-eyed old seventh man of Black Blade Village was killed!"
"Dockmaster! The trebuchet assigned to us was destroyed, and the person who took action was a sixth-grade master."
"Master of the dock! The fourth Feng Mantis is dead. The opponent is a tough guy who has cultivated to the fifth level."
"The first master, the third master Yin Xi died in battle!"
"The seventh master's party hero died in battle!"
"Lao Liu died in battle with the Bagua Dao!"
"The second brother He Tiandan died in the battle with Qingkong Sword——"
The calls came from all directions and seemed extremely noisy, making everyone look panic-stricken and extremely flustered.
The thick green smoke was like a giant beast lying across the gorge, swallowing up everything in its path.
In just a moment, one sixth-grade and nine seventh-grade thieves from the five bandits were killed in the battle. All the trebuchets and bed crossbows were also lost in an instant, destroyed by the mysterious master on the opposite side.
Xia Qingtian, the master of Jiudaowu's Jinghongdao, and Meng Yunshan, the master of Baiyun Village, could not help but turn pale.
How many masters is Xishan Hall hiding in Guiwei Gorge?
By the time the green smoke dispersed, in less than half a moment, they had lost one-third of their seventh-grade martial arts.
Just when the two of them looked hesitant and were considering whether to escape, a black figure flew into the air and came behind them.
He was a thin, bamboo-pole-like man with a face that was green on one side and red on the other.
This person was Xi Quan, and he glanced at the rich green smoke from a distance. There was some fear in his eyes at first, and then he moved forward without hesitation.
"There is a tough guy inside, and there is more than one person. I will go in and meet with them for a while, and you two will follow."
Xia Qingtian and Meng Yunshan looked at each other, and then followed closely behind, one after another plunging into the green smoke.
They were all aware of the danger in the smoke, but many brothers from their two families had fallen into it, and they had to save it.
The arrival of Xi Quan also gave them enough courage to enter the smoke and fight.
They were confident that the three of them could escape from the smoke together.
