Along the way, Zhou Bai also discovered that the miasmatic places that could be seen everywhere had long since disappeared.
This is not only because of the sun at noon, but also because the City God has fulfilled his agreement with Zhou Bai. His Yin soldiers, under the leadership of God, are gradually cleaning up Cangshan Mountain.
If those refugees now stay overnight in Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain, there will definitely be no more mountain ghosts harming people.
At this time, Shannan gradually became a forbidden place for sneaks, and the Pingcang City God didn't know what kind of medicine he had taken. Not only did his magical powers greatly increase, but he also had to come to exterminate them.
Two hours later, the bandit-suppressing army gradually approached the Lost Soul Village, and the bandits who had always been at ease had already lost their vigilance.
When Zhou Bai led his army and circled several times around the jagged Shizhu Mountain, a wooden mountain village finally appeared in front of everyone.
On the side near the mountain, a three-meter-high wooden wall was like a long snake, crawling along the edge of the mountain. Several bandits standing guard on it yawned feebly. .81z.??br/>Of course, there were two hidden sentries in the Shizhu Mountain Forest, which were discovered by Zhou Bai in advance and eliminated with two arrows.
Zhou Yuan was very surprised and whispered: "Master, you actually know the location of the Lost Soul Village. How do you think we can attack it?"
"First go to the back and tell everyone not to be exposed, and tell the patrol soldiers not to come up, so as not to be discovered by the enemy." Zhou Bai took off the long bow from his back and assessed the distance with sharp eyes.
Soon, Zhou Bai gave Zhou Yuan's order, and the last slight movements disappeared completely.
At this time, the eyes of the clan soldiers and village guards were full of awe for Zhou Bai.
The Lost Soul Village, which more than a thousand officers and soldiers could not find at the beginning, was easily found. How amazing!
"How do you think we should fight, a strong attack?" Zhou Bai did not express his thoughts, but asked Zhou Yuan first.
"Well, young master, I absolutely cannot lose too much in the first battle, otherwise it will be difficult to gather morale among the troops and a strong attack is not advisable."
"The art of war you taught me is to use one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. In this battle, the enemy is overt and covert. A surprise attack can gain more advantages..." Zhou Yuan was a little nervous, but he still said what he could use.
Zhou Bai nodded noncommittally and said: "Two additional points. First, use all your strength from the beginning to seize the only gate of the village; second, block the intersection of the stone forest behind with the patrol soldiers to prevent a thief from escaping. Otherwise, there will be no peace in the manor at the foot of the mountain."
"You take command, whether you are a famous general or a mediocre general, it all depends on you."
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, bowed and agreed, and then went down to make arrangements.
Another quarter of an hour later, the soldiers were finally ready to attack. At this time, smoke was already rising in the village, and the defense of the Lost Soul Village was even more relaxed.
The right time, the right place and the right people were all forcibly occupied by Zhou Bai. If he still couldn't conquer a small village, he would really doubt that he had wasted his efforts for several months.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuan, the thirty people in the vanguard slowly crawled to the mountain village fifty meters away.
There is no obstruction in front of us here. As long as the bandits on duty are not blind, they will definitely be discovered.
At this time, Zhou Bai, who was standing two hundred meters behind and leading the large army, jumped up, bent his bow and fired two arrows in the air. ….
Kill the thief with one arrow, and give the order with one arrow!
Without any time to react, a bandit clutched his throat and fell down the wall with a face full of disbelief.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan drew his sword and sprinted, while shouting at the soldiers behind him: "We all have orders. The first one to reach the top will be promoted to the first level and will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Charge with me!"
"You are the ones who are the best at training. Otherwise, I will get you in the first round. If you want to be a corps commander, don't let the gate of the village be closed!"
Suddenly, thirty warriors rushed towards the gate of the village like tigers that had just emerged from the cage.
"If you defeat the stronghold in one battle, you will be recorded as a third-class collective meritorious service, and each person will be given three acres of land!" There is also a team here at the main force shouting excitedly, and at the same time leading people to rush ahead.
Are there officers and soldiers suppressing bandits? The confused bandit guards finally came to their senses. Some sounded the alarm, while others shouted to close the village gate.
There were only a few bandits who fired a few weak arrows in panic, but they couldn't stop the soldiers who were eager to protect the village.
They eat well, drink well, and don't dare to slack off in training, just for times like this.
In terms of fighting skills, they may not be good enough, but in terms of sprinting and running, they are capable of running five kilometers cross-country from time to time.
However, even though the bandits were anxious, they were still rushed by thirty warriors before the village gate was closed, and Zhou Yuan showed his bravery for the first time.
Not afraid of swords and arrows, he led his men into the middle of the bandits who wanted to support them, and with a life-threatening posture, he forcibly dispersed this wave of reinforcements.
The Jingwu Essentials not only includes leading troops to fight, but also incomparably refined body-refining techniques to kill people.
The last opportunity was lost, the main force of the Zhou family arrived in time, and the village gate was completely controlled, so the three-meter wall was not enough.
The entire Lost Soul Village fell into chaos.
The leader of the village, Liu Jinbiao, who was drinking and enjoying himself in the back village, just heard the alarm bell and learned that someone was attacking the village.
But before the men could be gathered, news came that the gate of the village had been lost.
Liu Jinbiao didn't have time to get angry and forced himself to calm down. He was naturally outstanding based on Cangshan Thirteen Villages.
"Let the old brothers pack their things immediately and prepare to rush out of the stone forest. It is getting late and the fog is coming. I want to show them how to chase!"
"Yes, brother, but our Soul Enchanting Village does not only rely on fog to enchant the souls. There are officers and soldiers breaking through the stronghold. Why didn't those mountain gods notify you?" A confidant asked in confusion.
"You go first, I will make my own decision." Liu Jinbiao sent his confidant away with a calm expression on his face, but he stirred up trouble in his heart.
I have been working with those mountain ghost uncles for so long, but I have never seen them like this.
Liu Jinbiao was unwilling to give in and strode to a secret room. This place was like a purgatory on earth, with corpses everywhere and blood everywhere.
Even when he first came in, he was inevitably nauseated, but now his face looked a little happy.
On the sacred table in the middle of the secret room, there was a humanoid corpse with no flesh and blood, and he had just put it on it yesterday, which meant that nothing happened to the "mountain god" he worshiped.
Liu Jinbiao hurriedly stepped forward, lit incense sticks, and prayed in all directions, regardless of the horrific scenes around him.
"Lord Mountain God, if you have a spirit, please help me escape from this place. If there is a future, I will serve you as devoutly as before."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gloomy wind appeared in the secret room, and the rich smell of blood rushed towards him.
Liu Jinbiao seemed to have heard something, fear and a flattering smile appeared on his face, he bowed in all directions a few more times, and then hurriedly retreated.
In the end, after a fierce fight, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Liu Jinbiao led a group of old thieves into the stone forest and stayed up until the night fog rose.
The night, the fog, and the stone forest with numerous stone pillars make this the real Lost Soul Village.
"Brother, there are officers and soldiers guarding the intersection. We can't rush out." In a cave, a confidant said in a panic.
Liu Jinbiao glared at him fiercely: "What's the hurry? When the night gets late, the mountain god will naturally solve our trouble."
