He has a more important task.

He, a craftsman, worked hard with Li Hantong and the two hundred cavalry and infantry left behind to complete a task.

It is to identify, divide and disintegrate those horse bandits.

Then disrupt and reorganize the cavalry battalion, which is no less difficult than the soldiers on the front line.

He looked at the dust left by the retreating security team and thought of Zhao Ping's words.

By uniting the majority, isolating a very small minority, and defeating them one by one, we can successfully divide and disintegrate.

An hour later, they arrived about five miles in front of Tonggu Mountain.

Looking from a distance, I can see that the mountain is shaped like a bronze drum.

The mountain is steep and narrow, the peaks are hundreds of feet high, and they are all almost vertical cliffs;

The ancient trees on the mountain are towering and lush, which is obviously due to the rich water source on the mountain;

They have carved forts at the four corners of the mountain.

The only road up the mountain also has five mountain gates, each of which is about a hundred steps apart and has a certain slope.

The two sides of the cottage gate are made of rocks and lime, and the middle gate is two heavy gates.

Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but gasp.

There is no other way except to attack from these five mountain gates.

Zhao Ping and the others quietly walked through the grass and came to a place only half a mile away from the first mountain gate.

At this time, they clearly heard the voice coming from above: "Why haven't Li Sanlang and Zhang Silang come back yet?"

Another person's voice sounded a little shrill: "It couldn't be that he fell on the woman's belly and couldn't get up."

The voice just now said: "I live a hard life like a monk on the mountain. I feed mosquitoes all day long. When I go out, it's a colorful world. There's everything to eat, drink, and have fun."

Another one let out a long sigh and said: "It's a pity that our bad luck didn't help us, so we have to continue to be a monk on the mountain. Oh, what a bad luck, a handful of mosquitoes are on my face."

Then there was the sound of two slaps.

Another one suddenly glanced in the direction of Zhao Ping, pointed with his finger and said, "Things seem to be shaking there. Does anyone want to attack Tonggu Mountain?"

The third person patted the speaker on the shoulder and looked in the direction of Zhao Ping, but found no movement.

Said: "The military adviser said that Tonggu Mountain is a natural danger. There is no way for the Hu people to conquer it, let alone the Song people."

Everyone laughed. A voice came over: "Everyone should be careful. The military adviser said, be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship."

It seems that you should not be careless.

Zhao Ping lay on the ground and pulled out a foot-high grass and counted them carefully.

About twenty people were on the wall of the first gate.

There are a lot of people, they are in a powerful position, and it is easy to alert others. It seems that they are also very careful.

Just now I asked everyone to be careful, it might be someone like the fire chief or captain.

Zhao Ping looked at the village gate carefully.

There are couplets engraved on the stone door frames on both sides of the village gate.

It says: "The towering mountains are full of mist, clouds, and green hills, and the dangerous rocks are steep and the mountains are golden."

Banner: "No one can open it".

He said that the horse bandits in the stronghold were arrogant, and he was really confident.

Zhao Ping waved his hand, and two of Zhao Ping's disciples, Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long, came up.

Although there were many mosquitoes on the mountain, they were not bitten by mosquitoes because they carried Fengyoujing, an anti-mosquito medicine with them.

This is a newly developed drug in Zhaojiazhuang, and it is just in use now.

Like everyone else, they were smeared with wind oil to prevent mosquito bites.

Zhao Ping asked: "Are you afraid?"

The two shook their heads, but their faces were still a little nervous.

After all, they are both too young.

They are Guo Er and Zhao Long.

Zhao Ping nodded and said: "You go through the grass, there are people there who have prepared things for you. As long as you put the thing over in the last hundred steps or so, light it, and run back quickly, you will be fine."

Li Xiangqian crawled over, stepped forward and saluted Zhao Ping, and said: "I'm telling you, young man, they are too young, please let me go up."

Zhao Ping glanced at Li Xiangqian, and then at Wang Guoer and Wang Guo'er.

He shook his head and said, "It is precisely because they are small that they are not easily discovered."

When Li Xiangqian took a look, he thought that being tall and powerful was an advantage.

I didn't expect it to be a disadvantage, so I had to clasp my fists and retreat.

Everyone was lying in the grass, their eyes widened, and they were all worried, fearing that they would be discovered and shot to death by random arrows from above.

Everyone held their breath and stared at Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long without blinking.

At this time, a horse bandit pointed at the place where Wang Guo'er and the others were staying and said, "There seems to be a shadow moving there."

A group of horse bandits immediately drew their weapons and bows and arrows. A horse bandit drew his bow and arrow, and immediately shot in the direction of Wang Guo'er.

Seeing no response, the horse bandit calmed down.

Zhao Ping and the others were all excited.

Soon, they saw Zhao Long and the others taking action again. It turned out that they were fine.

After half a stick of incense, I finally reached the designated place.

They were finally safe.

If they hadn't observed carefully, Zhao Ping and the others would not have seen Wang Guo'er and the others.

Not to mention the horse bandit. Now it seems that the horse bandit was just a test.

Only then did everyone realize that the advantage of this seemingly colorful and ugly military uniform was that it was actually the same color as the grass.

If they hadn't consciously observed carefully, they wouldn't have been able to find traces of Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long.

About the time of one stick of incense.

Suddenly there was a loud thundering sound in everyone's ears, followed by choking black gunpowder smoke.

it's time! Zhao Yun took out his whistle and blew it!

Everyone stood up from the grass and shot fifty sharp arrows at the mountain gate.

Zhao Yun, Yang Zhen, and Li Xiangqian pulled out their Hu-killing knives and Hu-breaking knives one after another, and quickly ran towards the mountain.

At this time, there was still no response from the mountain gate.

They were worried, so they picked up their shields and rushed towards the mountain gate.

Zhao Ping also wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Cuizhu.

She didn't stop Zhao Ping until most of the people rushed over.

At this time, Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long also came over and pulled out the Hu-killing knives in their hands. The three of them surrounded Zhao Ping tightly and ran towards the mountain gate together.

When Youlang next to him saw that Zhao Ping was okay, he also drew his Hu-killing Sword and rushed in front of Zhao Ping and the others.

When Zhao Ping and the others arrived at the mountain gate, the place was completely settled.

In front of Prime Minister Li, they saw more than a dozen panic-stricken bandits coming with their eyes empty and blank.

They seemed to have come out of hell. Because some faces are covered with black gunpowder smoke! Some have disheveled hair and are feeling hot all over! Some of their clothes were torn!

Everyone had expressions of complete disbelief on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost. They were obviously recovering from this huge explosion that they had never seen before.

Several others were being carried on stretchers, their hands and feet had been blown off by explosives, and blood was flowing from the wounds. You Lang immediately stepped forward to treat them.

If you attack with cold weapons, it will be difficult to defeat. Unfortunately, they met Zhao Ping.

Looking at the mountain gate that had been blown to pieces, Zhao Ping shook his head.

At this time, the gong of the second mountain gate rang, and someone from above shouted: "The government troops are attacking the mountain stronghold. The government troops are attacking the mountain stronghold."

I saw people moving around on the mountain, and many horse bandits rushed from the mountain to the second mountain gate, and they were already preparing for close combat.

Zhao Ping did not see Zhao Yun, Yang Zhen, Cao Kezhejun and others.

Prime Minister Li came forward, bowed his hands, and said, "I'm reporting to Mr. Zhao, Deputy Commander Zhao and the others have been pursuing the victory and may have already reached the second gate."

Zhao Ping looked up and saw that Zhao Yun had already rushed forward with more than a hundred people.

I only heard someone on the other side swipe a long sword in his hand: "Fire the arrow."

Suddenly, hundreds of sharp arrows were shot one after another from the wall above the second door.

Although Zhao Yun and others tried their best to pull out the flying arrows with their swords, a dozen of them were still injured.

They had no choice but to retreat while drawing arrows.

Zhao Yun was worried that the horse bandits would take the opportunity to pursue them, but the horse bandits did not take advantage of the situation and rush down.

They were frightened. The sound just now was like a lightning strike in the sky, and there was black smoke.

It's thick and seems to be a little pungent. It looks like a cannon, but it's much more powerful than a cannon.

Just a roar broke the first, strongest mountain gate.

They may also have similar firearms and are too frightened to pursue them.

The soldiers of the security group feel more at ease because they don't have to worry about being injured.

There are not only nurses here, but also You Lang who leads his son to swim and You Jiu and ten disciples.

They helped a dozen wounded soldiers take off their leather armor and pull out arrows.

After disinfecting with alcohol, apply a kind of medicine, and the water medicine can be applied evenly.

The doctor Youlang said the effect was very good. It is the bone-setting water that Zhaojiazhuang has just developed.

The soldiers are more relieved, their worries have been resolved.

Watch the craftsmen below busy.

Zhao Yun didn't understand what they were busy with?

Inappropriate siege equipment here.

Because this is not a city wall.

Even ladders, rams, and catapults don't seem to be of use here.

Zhao Yun didn't look like these instruments at first glance.

If you look closely, you can see that they are things used for eating.

Do you want to eat here?

But we had just eaten.

Zhao Ping didn't say anything, and it was hard for him to ask.

After assembling it, Zhao Yun was even more puzzled. It turned out to be the Eight Immortals Table.

Zhao Ping raised his hand, and forty soldiers immediately carried the Eight Immortals table that the craftsmen had just installed on their backs.

Zhao Yun wiped his sweat with a towel and panted and asked: "Xiao Langjun, we are attacking the stronghold and we are not drinking and eating, so what are we doing with the Eight Immortals Table?"

Zhao Ping smiled and said: "It is used to attack the stronghold."

Zhao Yun and Yang Zhen looked at the table carefully. It could withstand a few arrows, but if there were too many, they would still be shot through.

But why add a quilt?

And the quilt must be wet.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Does getting the quilt wet have such an effect?

Zhao Yun quietly said to Yang Zhen: "The quilt doesn't seem to be thick. Could it be that it becomes smooth after getting wet? Does it make it harder for arrows to penetrate?"

Yang Zhen thought for a moment and then said: "Xiao Langjun is always incredible. He should have considered it. But I believe Xiao Langjun."

Cuizhu didn't hear what they said.

Because all her thoughts were on Zhao Ping.

Is the protective young man also a lover?

Suddenly there was a fever on her face, but she couldn't cover her face.

It seems that Xiao Langjun is just giving instructions and does not need to play in person for the time being.

This completely reassured her.

Of course, I will never let him go to the battlefield. This is the consensus of everyone in Zhaojiazhuang.

Now when Xiao Langjun prescribes this thing, he must have his own reasons.
