Li Yunze, who returned to Dongping Mansion, was not in a hurry to go home and sharpen his Italian cannon.
Instead, they led the elite soldiers and horses from the two routes from Beijing and West to rush towards Mangdang Mountain in a mighty manner.
Speaking of Mangdang Mountain, this is a famous place in history.
It is the place where Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake.
The mountains here are densely forested and the paths are steep, and the mountains are connected to many roads and counties. It is a typical place where no one wants to cause trouble.
What is even more exaggerated is that the three leaders who occupied Mangdang Mountain were so capable that many officers and soldiers who had gone to encircle and suppress them suffered a lot.
The three leaders of Mangdang Mountain are Xiang Chong, who is known as the Eight-Armed Nezha in the world.
This person is a native of Peixian County. He is good at using a dough card and twenty-four flying knives on his back. He can take people with a hundred steps and hit every target.
The second in charge of the family is Li Gong, who is known as the Flying Sage in the world.
Li Gun was from Pi County, and he was also good at using regiment cards. He had twenty-four javelins on his back, and he could take out people at a hundred steps without missing a beat.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun were both considered as unique weapons in the world. They used regimental cards to protect themselves and hidden weapons such as flying knives and javelins to kill people.
If it were just like that, it wouldn't be considered a heroic figure like Jingva Tian, just a heavy armored warrior with a shield.
The Song Dynasty may not have many cavalry, but there are a lot of heavy armored infantry, especially the heavy armored soldiers wearing infantry armor, which can be said to be protected from the forehead to the soles of the feet.
What really makes people change their minds is the big leader of Mangdang Mountain, Fan Rui, who is known as the Demon King in the world.
Fan Rui is from Puzhou. He practiced in the Quanzhen Sect in his early years and learned a lot of magical skills. It is said that he can control the wind and rain.
Moreover, his own force value is not low, and he is good at using meteor hammers that come and go without a trace and attack people unprepared.
Because he knew magic, the encirclement and suppression by ordinary officers and soldiers naturally lost their effect.
These three leaders swore sworn brothers with different surnames on Mangdang Mountain. It is said that they gathered thousands of soldiers and horses to attack homes and plunder houses in the surrounding areas, causing trouble for one party.
Li Yunze dared to touch Mangdang Mountain that others dared not touch.
As long as it harms the people, he will never show mercy. What's more, these three people occupied Mangdang Mountain, which was the place where Liu Bang changed dynasties. Even in Bianliang City, they were recorded in a notebook in front of all the ministers and even the official.
Li Yunze wanted to dig deeper into the Song Dynasty, and this was undoubtedly a shortcut.
The Song Dynasty was so wealthy that if I didn't dig out a lot of money before putting on the yellow robe in the cold weather, I really couldn't bear to let it go to waste by the ignorant and treacherous ministers.
That much wealth, not only to prepare the armament and to raise the people well, but also to use it for enjoyment and stimulate economic development, or to strengthen some chickens, but how could it be used to make rubbish?
That broken stone is of no use!
As expected, he is one of the top three idiots in history who can do nothing but draw and write!
Basically, everyone who can fight in Beijing and the West has followed Li Yunze.
With dozens of generals, thousands of sergeants, and temporarily employed civilians, the so-called tens of thousands of troops marching across the country and county really made everyone feel excited.
Only Li Yunze was not moved at all.
He has commanded large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of people many times. A small scene like this is nothing, there is nothing exciting about it. .... Yang Zhi and others were all middle and low-level officers in the past. How had they ever seen such a big scene with over 10,000 troops?
It is normal for a novice to have trouble finding a way to shoot a gun for the first time.
Fortunately, they had an experienced driver as their leader. Li Yunze, who had rich experience in marching combat, arranged everything in an orderly manner so that the tens of thousands of troops could operate smoothly.
Even, he can teach others some experience when he has free time.
This ability really amazed and admired Yang Zhi and others.
Being able to make tens of thousands of people move in an orderly manner without making mistakes is an unquestionable ability.
As for some of them, those protagonists who never even served as study group leaders when they were in school, but who can command an army of millions to attack a small village as soon as they come here, it's just fun to watch.
If we were to take it seriously, a million people eating, drinking, sleeping and eating would be enough to cause any new commander to have a mental breakdown.
When they arrived at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, Fan Rui and others, who had already heard the news, had already led their troops down the mountain, set up battle formations and were waiting.
From this aspect, it can be seen that the bandits in Mangdang Mountain are different from other places. They are powerful and courageous.
"General." Gongsun Shengce immediately came to Li Yunze's side, pointed at Mangdang Mountain in front of him and said, "You see that there are cyan lanterns hanging everywhere on the mountain, and they are arranged according to the formation of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. The mountain must be There are people who are proficient in sorcery.”
"Don't talk about people like that." Li Yunze, who has been asking for advice and studying Taoism with Gongsun Sheng, smiled and waved his hand, "If you are not an enemy, just say it is a demonic method, but if you are one of us, say it is Taoist orthodoxy. Facing a capable enemy, You have to respect each other mentally."
Shi Xiu, the second idiot, asked blankly, "What should we do in terms of action? Invite us to come over and have a drink together?"
"Nonsense." Li Yunze glared at Desperate Saburo, "Of course I'll chop him down! Just don't be like the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven and just use your head as a wine glass."
The road into the mountain is narrow and cannot be used in a large formation.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun blocked the road into the mountain with hundreds of hobhands, clamoring for a challenge to the officers and soldiers, eager for a duel.
"Brainless." After defining their behavior, Li Yunze called to the general behind him, "The crossbowmen are at your service."
Because the Song army lacked horse farms, it did not have the large-scale cavalry regiments that it had during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The Song army, which was mainly infantry, also developed its own unique tactics, that is, long-range is king.
The Song Army attached great importance to long-range firepower, and even most of the sergeants on the battlefield were crossbowmen. The ancestor of muskets, the Tu musket, which pioneered gunpowder firearms in later generations, was also invented by the Song Army.
Crossbowmen are not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality.
Let’s not mention the bed crossbow that once killed Xiao Taolin. The black paint crossbows commonly used in the army, the Nei Ma Locust Crossbow, and even the famous Divine Arm Bow are all foot-operated crossbows with extremely strong penetrating power. and range.
When thousands of Song Army crossbowmen gathered to form a large-scale crossbow formation, the Mangdang Mountain bandits on the opposite side suddenly became agitated. ....Of course they have fought against the army and seen their large array of bows and crossbows.
But he has never seen such a large-scale crossbow array, let alone officers and soldiers equipped with so many powerful crossbows.
The Divine Arm Bow is called a bow, but it is actually a crossbow. It is the most powerful long-range weapon in this era. The Song Army attaches great importance to its confidentiality. It is almost impossible for inland garrisons to equip such a powerful weapon. M.biQuge.biZ
It's different here with Li Yunze.
After he spent money to get a batch from the arsenal of Bianliang City, he brought it to the modern world like Bu Renjia to find someone to draw and imitate, find a small foundry to produce parts, and then go to the Dream of Red Mansions world to arrange manual assembly and debugging.
For Li Yunze, this was just a small matter of spending a small amount of money, running a few extra trips, and losing a lot of protein in the constant fire in the Grand View Garden.
But for Li Gong Xiangchong and the hundreds of hobhands under them, this was a fatal event!
When the crossbows fell from the rain of arrows flying in the sky, the hob cutters collapsed on the spot.
The shields in their hands are only covered with a layer of cooked cowhide, which can withstand arrows, but is not enough to face strong crossbows. After all, there is not that much money to build enough iron shields to equip.
After several rounds of arrows, more than half of the hundreds of hobhands were lost, and the rest were already rolling around and fleeing to climb the mountain.
Li Yunze, who was coming with his troops and horses, stopped his horse when passing by a hero carrying two rows of javelins behind him, and looked at him condescendingly.
Li Gong, who had a powerful crossbow pierced through his abdomen, struggled and spat at Li Yunze, "...Using flying props...you are not a hero!"
After shouting angrily, Li Gong's vitality disappeared, and he lay down and never got up again.
Looking at the hero who was still staring at death, Li Yunze shook his head repeatedly, "This is a battlefield, not a sword debate on Mount Huashan. It's really a waste of time."
There is talk about good men and bad men on the battlefield. What else could this be if it were not Shatuo?
This is a big gambling venue, and everyone is betting on their lives to have a one-time life-and-death game.
At this time, in order to win and survive, of course, we will do anything we can.
Li Yunze didn't think too much, his attention had been drawn to the sky that was appearing on one side.
Ominous-looking black clouds arose in the sky, and a strange wind blew on the ground, the kind that blew sand and rocks away.
It's obvious that someone is acting evil.
Li Yunze, who had not even reached the entrance level, immediately turned his head and looked at Gongsun Sheng who was standing aside: "Wang...cough cough, Taoist Priest, come on!"
Gongsun Sheng, who looked solemn, nodded. After dismounting, he held the mahogany sword in one hand and the talisman in the other and walked up the mountain.
Under the black clouds that filled the sky, Gongsun Sheng muttered words, waved the talisman and seal, and started to burn without fire.
Shi Xiu, who was next to Li Yunze, was dumbfounded and praised the immortal's ability repeatedly.
"The magic ability of the fart." Li Yunze, who couldn't stand it, exposed it on the spot, "It's just the phosphorus powder soaked in the talisman seal."
Over there, Gongsun Sheng had already thrown a bunch of talismans and seals in his hand into the sky.
He moved quickly with the formation of the Big Dipper under his feet, wielding the mahogany sword and using precise sword skills to pierce and shatter the burning talismans.
Li Yunze, who was watching carefully, nodded, "I'm not in the wrong position, and my swordsmanship is also good. But if it doesn't work, I'll just go around and do tricks." ... As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Sheng over there had already pierced through all the swords. Fu Zhuan, and then held up the mahogany sword that was ignited with flames, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the black clouds in the sky.
Gongsun Sheng shouted angrily, "I am as urgent as the law. Heavenly Lord will help me cultivate the great road! Five thunders of heaven's heart will come down to the mortal world!"
'Boom, boom, boom~~~'
Several streaks of silver lightning flashed out from the black clouds in the sky, like silver snakes dancing wildly, and then deafening roars of thunder rolled in.
What Gongsun Sheng used was the most commonly used move when subduing demons, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa.
To put it simply, it is to summon thunder to crash down.
Sure enough, after a short time, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and fell directly into the densest part of the mountainside where the green lanterns were.
There was a noise soon, and many children in Taoist costumes screamed and ran away, followed by the bandits and robbers on the mountain, who collapsed like an ant nest watered by hot water.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the strange wind on the ground gradually calmed down.
Li Yunze, who looked strange, called on the generals to lead the troops to capture the bandits and robbers, and they could not be allowed to escape and cause harm to the people's villages and towns.
As for himself, he galloped forward and arrived with Gongsun Sheng at the altar where the green lanterns were most densely packed.
There was a Taoist priest on the altar, and I didn’t know how to describe it.
Because he was struck by thunder and turned black into charcoal, he couldn't see anything clearly. Only the fragments of Taoist priest's robes scattered on the altar could prove his identity.
If there is no second powerful Taoist priest on Mangdang Mountain, then this person must be the Demon King Fan Rui.
Gongsun Sheng felt a little sad, after all, he was a fellow traveler.
Just when he was thinking about helping to clean up the aftermath, he was surprised to hear Li Yunze on the side making a beep.
"What a loser. I wanted to learn some spells from you. You can't even stand up to the thunder, and you dare to call yourself the Demon King? I'm a thief who deceives the world, so I'll just stay at your altar!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but tremble, and immediately gave up the idea of helping his colleagues clean up the mess.
He couldn't afford to offend the real demon king. .
