"Taoist Master Gongsun, what happened just now?"
Back at the camp, everyone sat down around the fire curiously and asked about Gongsun Sheng's fight just now. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brothers are laughing at me. They are just some small methods, but they are actually blinding methods."
Gongsun Sheng smiled and took out a soybean from his sleeve. He flicked his finger into the fire and instantly caused the flames to rise. With a "pop" sound, a black smoke rose with the moving flames.
"The only thing that makes an army out of sowing beans is that the soybeans have been manipulated. If beans can really be used as soldiers, why would we need people for marching and fighting? Wouldn't there be thousands of troops carrying just a few bags of soybeans?"
Gongsun Sheng did not explain the principle, but just explained with a smile.
"I agree. If the spell is so powerful, why aren't there any in the border army? If it were so powerful, all the people in the north would have been killed long ago."
Lu Zhishen suddenly realized that there are many people in the world who claim to know magic, but most of them are just pretentious and deceitful. If all of them really learned the magic of the immortal family, they would have become rampant in the world long ago.
"What the master said is absolutely true. The so-called magic is just a trick. What you really need to rely on is your own ability."
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile, in fact, it is very simple to spread the beans to form an army. After the soybeans are cooked, soak them in fire oil, and then apply some secret medicine on them, so that the soybeans can burn for a long time without exploding. Coat them with some phosphorus powder before use. , it can burn instantly when touched by fire. However, the cooked soybeans soaked in kerosene cannot touch water. Once they touch water, they will break and explode.
"Ha ha."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
When the sky was getting slightly brighter, Sun Lei and others had already packed their things and were ready to leave.
"Brother, someone is running from a distance! It's the man from Mangdang Mountain last night."
Fei Bao, who was in charge of the security, ran over with a minion and said.
"You didn't follow Fan Rui back to the mountain, why are you still running around outside?"
Sun Lei looked at the minion and asked, Fan Rui probably wouldn't send anyone to monitor them.
"Your Majesty, the stronghold is broken! The army is coming!"
The guy said in horror.
"What kind of officers and soldiers? Tell me clearly!"
Yang Zhi grabbed the henchman's clothes and asked, "If the officers and soldiers are nearby, they must be on guard."
"At night, for some unknown reason, the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked the stronghold, and the gate outside was breached!"
The guy said with a fearful look on his face.
"Is it because the government found out that Fan Rui and others brought people down the mountain, and the company also raided their stronghold?"
Ou Peng looked at Sun Lei and said, he was also the lord of a mountain. People like them who guard the mountain and rob for food are the most thorn in the side of the government. Fan Rui has three thousand minions under his command. I am afraid they have been targeted by the government for a long time. On.
"How many people are there in the army?"
Sun Lei looked at the minions and asked.
"There are thousands of them, all over the mountains and plains!"
The minion pointed in the direction of Mangdang Mountain and said.
"Brother, do you want to save Fan Rui?"
Gongsun Sheng looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Now that we've encountered it, we can't ignore it. Gather your troops and follow me to Mangdang Mountain!"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Ruan Xiaowu, Fei Bao, Ou Peng, Pang Wanchun and others and said.
"They were looking for trouble last night, and today they are going to save them. What's the point?"
Li Kui was a little reluctant. He was simple-minded and thought that if he was an enemy, he must be an enemy. He would never save anyone.
"Although Fan Rui came to make trouble yesterday, it was considered an acquaintance. The two parties just misunderstood. Now he is in trouble. You are also a famous black whirlwind in the world. Why don't you save him?"
Sun Lei looked at Li Kui and said, "The famous black whirlwind in the world" said that Li Kui was at a loss for what to do. He had the loyalty of a hero and was going to save people with an ax in hand.
"I just do it for the sake of loyalty!"
Li Kui chuckled.
They all led their troops and walked eastward for an hour before arriving at the foot of Mangdang Mountain.
"This formation is really quite big!"
Sun Lei looked at the smoke-filled Mangdang Mountain and said. At this time, the entire perimeter of Mangdang Mountain was set on fire, and more than half of the mountain forts on the top of the mountain were being burned by the fire.
"The government can't get in. They are planning to set fire to Fan Rui and others."
Lu Zhishen frowned as he looked at the raging fire on the mountain. The mountain was full of officers and soldiers. It looked like there were more than 3,000 people.
"Kill directly up the mountain!"
Seeing that the army's attention was on the mountain and that the rear was defenseless, Sun Lei gave the order directly.
Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Kui, Gongsun Sheng, Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Di Cheng, Pang Wanchun, Pang Qiuxia, Lei Jiong, Ji Ji, Zhang Shun, Wang Dingliu, Shi Xiu, Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang and others took weapons and went to the mountain to kill with their men.
…
On Mangdang Mountain, Fan Rui stood on the stone wall with a pale face, covering his chest. Xiang Chong and Li Gun were standing on the left and right holding regimental weapons.
"Brother, I can't stop it!"
Xiang Chong looked at the officers and soldiers who were really gathering and preparing to rush in after the city wall was broken and said to Fan Rui.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't acted on my own will, I wouldn't have caused Shanzhai to be like this!"
Fan Rui looked remorseful. Not long ago, because the village lacked money and food, he robbed the silver coins sent by the Xuzhou prefect to Tokyo to bribe Cai Jing. What he did was very rough, and word spread at that time. The Xuzhou prefect was furious, and they were gathering in the past few days. Soldiers and horses are ready to destroy them.
At this time, Fan Rui should close the mountain gate and lead his men to defend the mountain stronghold relying on the favorable location. If they hold on for a month, the officers and soldiers will naturally return without success.
But yesterday he knew that Sun Lei was bringing people across the border, so he got all excited and prepared to fight for face with all his followers.
Fan Rui thought well. He relied on his profound magic to frighten the enemy, and then relied on his numerical advantage to quickly win. After earning enough face, he returned to the mountain.
But things were completely beyond Fan Rui's expectation. He was completely defeated in the fight with Sun Lei, and his men were so frightened that they fled in all directions. By chance, the army and the army came to attack the mountain again. He couldn't respond in time, and the outer defenses It was directly breached, and all the minions fled. Now only the inner village is left to defend, and Mangdang Mountain is about to be destroyed in his hands.
"Brother, we will protect you from the back mountain!"
Li Gun pulled Fan Rui and said that the village could no longer bear it. Rather than die fighting here, it was better to escape from the back mountain and find a way out.
"That's right, brother, keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood!"
Xiang Chong also spoke.
"Leave? What dignity do I have to hang out in the world anymore?"
Fan Rui gave a wry smile. He is the most honorable person. Ever since he became known as the "Devil King", he has done everything to become famous in the world and make people admire him. But now, he was defeated miserably by Sun Lei and then even the copycats. If he was lost, or escaped, and turned into a bereaved dog, how could he have the dignity to hang out in the world again?
"Brother, it doesn't have to be like this, we can still fight back!"
Xiang Chong pulled Fan Rui and said, Fan Rui coughed violently as he pulled him. Wu Song's kick in the night was not light. He still feels pain and stuffiness in his chest whenever he exerts force.
"Brother, let's go!"
Seeing that Fan Rui was so afraid to stop, Li Gun could only persuade him, but Fan Rui was unwilling. He was a good-looking and stubborn person, and Xiang Chong and Li Gun couldn't persuade him at all.
