Although Lu Ye responded quickly, the situation was no longer optimistic. Before the bandits arrived, the scalpers had already reached their destination.

One after another, the oxen desperately hit the stone wall. Under the strong impact, the oxen's bones were broken and the stone fortifications were shaken to the point of collapse.

This fortification at the foot of the mountain is originally composed of a stone wall and a stone house. In fact, the stone house is not pure stone. There is wood as an important part of the support. The stone wall is not as strong as a real city. After all,

The manpower of Jinge Village is still quite limited, and it is impossible to build a perfect fortification defense. Although Lu Ye has the intention, it is difficult to say that he has bandits, and it is normal to cut corners. Now, these have become fatal weaknesses.

There were also some bandits who were unable to evade and were bumped into by scalpers. In an instant, their stomachs were disemboweled and their intestines flowed all over the floor. The scene was extremely bloody, and the entire foot of the mountain was filled with a smell of murder. But in this war-torn era,

In this era when human life is at stake, no one sympathizes with him, only the crazy fighting spirit stimulated by the smell of blood.

Under the impact of cattle one after another, the stone walls collapsed one after another. Just when the bandits and bandits were exhausted, the county soldiers finally rushed in, and a big battle began immediately.

This world does not have as strict laws as the current world. A human life can be directly converted into a few cattle, sheep, and a few taels of silver. For a county official like Yuan Tie, it can be said that he controls the life and death of the bandits with one hand.

Kill or capture is just one sentence.

As the county soldiers rushed in, in order to save their lives, the bandits launched a frantic attack, cutting a bloody path, and then rushed towards the mountainside, just in time to meet the archers coming down from above.

Although the archers had changed their swords, their combat effectiveness was actually no worse than that of the sword and shield soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain. A fight ensued.

In fact, if the rogue bandits think clearly and join forces with Jinge Village at this time, they can save their disadvantage.

However, at this chaotic moment, what everyone is thinking about is how to kill the opponent and save their lives. The bandits are originally a group of scattered people, without a powerful person with unified appeal, so the situation gradually becomes more and more complicated.

An irreversible point.

Some of the bandit leaders actually broke through the mountainside defense line and rushed towards the top of the mountain. However, these people never thought that the top of the mountain was a dead end?

Seeing that there were loopholes in the second layer of defense, Lu Ye's face became even more serious. He suddenly waved his hand, and the thirty strong men on the top of the mountain began to move towards the foot of the mountain. Along the way, they encountered the leader of the rogue bandits, and a fierce battle soon began.

.

In the battle at the foot of the mountain, the county soldiers quickly gained the upper hand and faced off against the exhausted bandits without any effort. Even the cowardly bandits became interested in stealing and surrendered one by one.

Yuan Tie held a sword in his hand, crossed the defense line at the foot of the mountain, and headed up the mountainside. The battle at the foot of the mountain was directed by Dong Jiu, while a group of elite county soldiers followed Yuan Tie up to kill him.

Soon, they encountered thirty strong men who had just killed the leader of the bandits. One of the thieves wanted to kill Yuan Tie, so he rushed over with a big axe. However, Yuan Tie easily caught it with his sword, and then kicked him with a flying kick.

He kicked out.

Such an understatement immediately frightened the enemy, but Yuan Tie's mind was not here. After repelling the thieves, he handed over the battle here to his subordinates and went straight up the mountain.

When they reached the top of the mountain and in front of the gate of the stronghold, Lu Ye stood on the stone wall of the stronghold. At this time, the sun shone in, making their shadows longer.

"Yuan County Lieutenant, why do we have to fight to the death? I will be my mountain king and you will be your county captain. Isn't it great that we don't offend the river?" Lu Ye said lightly.

"Lu Ye, you are also a person who has served the country, how can you still speak so naively? Even if you become a bandit, you know that you are destined to be annihilated one day!" Yuan Tie said in a deep voice.

"Yuan County Lieutenant is so confident, okay, then you can come and try the secret knowledge I have practiced behind closed doors for the past five years." Lu Ye's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Yuan Tie smiled proudly, full of confidence, and the two of them rushed out at the same time.

At the foot of the mountain, Shen Chen sat on a large bluestone on the high ground, quietly observing the progress of the battle. Liao Hu was inexplicably excited. Although Shen Chen asked him to buy firecrackers and scalpers, he couldn't. He didn't expect it to be used for this purpose. He originally thought that those scalpers were for transportation, but when he thought about it, it was wrong, and he just couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.

I didn't expect that scalpers driven by firecrackers would have such attack power. It was simply unimaginable. Speaking of which, he took a lot of credit for the capture of Jinge Village, which made him a small grocery store owner. Naturally It is of great significance. If it spreads in the future, it will be something to be proud of.

Wan Shanxing was deeply shocked by the war. Although he had seen a lot of things in the world, it was nothing compared to a battle involving more than 700 people. He looked at Shen Chen from time to time and was secretly surprised. Yue and these three people As I get along with the young master, I feel more and more that his wisdom is like the depth of the ocean, with no end. Who would have thought that such a battle to attack the stronghold was actually the work of this young master.

Shen Meng held the hatchet tightly and observed the surroundings vigilantly. He was not interested in going into battle to kill the enemy, but just adhered to his duties.

The battle at the foot of the mountain is no longer in suspense. The casualty rate of the sword and shield soldiers that Lu Ye has painstakingly trained exceeds 70%, and even the archers who came down from the mountainside have not been able to save the situation. The war at the foot of the mountain is coming to an end.

On the mountainside, the thirty strong bandits under Lu Ye and the elite county soldiers were killed inextricably. One side was a ferocious and wild bandit who not only had his own martial arts but was also proficient in battlefield swordsmanship. The regular county government officers and soldiers, on the other hand, practiced the Shanhaimen martial arts taught by Yuan Tie personally, practicing hard day and night, and became solid and steady.

Although the two sides are fighting hard, in the long run, the county soldiers have a much greater chance of winning. The morale of the county soldiers is the highest on the entire battlefield, and they have accumulated the momentum to continuously attack the two villages. Moreover, compared to Shan As far as thieves are concerned, the qualifications of officers and soldiers are still much better.

Compared with these two battlefields, the battle on the top of the mountain is more eye-catching. One is the leader of Jinge Village and the other is a dignified county captain. The victory or defeat between the two is enough to create variables in this battle.

Yuan Tie's Shan Hai Sect's unique skills were displayed with sword skills, and they were extremely domineering. They were really made of the power of mountains and seas, and were like the king of mountains and wilds. In contrast, Lu Ye's martial arts were cold and terrifying, and he was filled with evil energy when he used them.

The battle on the top of the mountain was earth-shattering and the sound was loud, as if it was right in front of him. Shen Chen watched it carefully and gradually came up with an idea.

As the battle at the foot of the mountain ended, the officers and soldiers began to advance towards the mountainside. As soon as the strong bandits saw the large number of officers and soldiers coming, their faces suddenly changed and they were forced to retreat towards the top of the mountain.

At this time, on the top of the mountain, Lu Ye and Yuan Tie were covered with scars and blood flowing from their armor, which showed how fierce this battle was.

Seeing that the situation below was not good, Lu Ye finally knew that the situation was over. Just when Yuan Tie struck with his sword, he retreated, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the foot of the mountain at high speed.

"Little Lu Ye, you are so timid!" Yuan Tie shouted sharply and rushed after him.

Lu Ye was extremely fast, and after just a few ups and downs, he reached the mountainside. Seeing that Lu Ye was about to flee, those strong bandits would not defend him there, so they all abandoned their opponents and followed him to escape.

Although there were officers and soldiers trying to intercept him, Lu Ye's martial arts skills were much superior, which was evident from his ability to fight Yuan Tie evenly.

At this time, Yuan Tie was also blocked by the powerful bandits. Although he could knock back one of them with one strike, Lu Ye was able to run away a hundred feet in just the time it took to knock him back.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter whether they were Chuanshan Village or Huxiao Village, they failed to break through, but Jinge Village was indeed stronger. Moreover, seeing Lu Ye escape, the surviving bandits also seemed to have discovered that they were still alive.

With little chance, they all turned around and broke out.

Under such a situation, Lu Ye and a small number of bandits eventually fled into the forest and disappeared without a trace. Yuan Tie cried out in regret, ordered his men not to pursue them, and continued to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Shen Chen stood up and rushed to the foot of the mountain. The ground covered with Asakusa was dyed red with blood. There were corpses everywhere, bones loomed, limbs and arms were broken, and swords and shields were scattered everywhere.

Upside down, it seems to be telling the cruelty and fierceness of this war.

Although they had witnessed the fighting in the first two villages, Liao Hu and Wan Shanxing could not help but feel frightened. They were inexplicably shocked when they looked at it from a distance, but now that they were closer, the scene was so clear that it seemed to come into their hearts.

In contrast, Shen Chen seemed much calmer. As he walked over, he observed the results of the battle. There were many injured by the bandits and bandits, and more than 300 people were captured. In other words, the mountain bandits who participated in the war at that time

Almost half of the thieves died, but even if there were half of the survivors plus people from the other two villages, the number was quite large, and even the county jail could not hold them.

There were also casualties among the officers and soldiers, but they were much less than expected, which made Shen Chen somewhat at ease.

When he saw Yuan Tie, Yuan Tie was still standing on the mountainside, looking at the direction where Lu Ye disappeared, frowning and said: "This man's martial arts skills are sinister, and if he is not inferior to me, he will be a disaster if he stays in the world. With him here, this

The Qingchuan bandits are going to cause trouble again at some point."

Shen Chen didn't think much about it, he smiled slightly and said: "It is a great good thing that we can successfully capture the third village this time, so although Lu Ye escaped, it is still acceptable to be a little imperfect."

When Yuan Tie heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "So I am a bit demanding."

He looked at Shen Chen, his eyes full of approval. If it hadn't been for the help of this young man, he would have failed again this time and become the laughing stock of his colleagues in the past. But now, in less than half a month, he succeeded in winning three battles with very few casualties.
