On the other side of the winding stone steps, the Guiyang army's offensive was really blocked.
The narrow stone steps simply cannot accommodate too many people attacking at the same time.
And the closer we stand, the more people will lose. This is an obvious thing.
You can only attack in batches by echelon.
At Lu Fang's suggestion, Lu Liang asked the Guiyang soldiers to form a team of a hundred people. By now, they had launched six waves of attacks on the stone steps.
And as a result, they were naturally beaten back.
We lost more than 200 soldiers.
This loss was not small, and it made everyone feel angry.
The bandits on the hillside were proud of themselves.
The boss really does have a few brushes.
Although the brothers on the stone fort in front were all killed by these officers and soldiers, their second line of defense was simply indestructible!
They originally didn't have much hope in defending Si Fengling, but now hope emerged in their hearts.
It turns out that there are so many ways to learn about fighting.
In this way, it was almost noon.
The Guiyang Army has launched its tenth wave of attacks.
On the stone steps, many bloody corpses were lying. Their helmets were all deformed by stones.
There were hundreds of injured.
At the other end, Jiang Zimo, with five hundred skilled hands, finally touched the last section of the cliff.
Climb up and you can overlook the entire mountain village.
Juyi Hall is in the valley below.
Surrounded by mountains.
There are many thatched houses.
Only now, there were not even a few people visible in the open space. It was obvious that most of the bandits had been dispatched to the front.
Lines of defense were formed one after another.
Jiang Zimo said nothing, just looked at Lao Xiao, and then ran towards the village.
Five hundred masters followed suit.
Lao Xiao even took a leisurely stroll.
To him, such a battle is just like a child playing house.
Compared with those scenes back then, this kind of battle was really too small.
"kill!"
"According to the order of Mr. Lu Fang, come to suppress the bandits!"
The cry of killing suddenly rang out in the village.
Naturally, the five hundred warriors led by Jiang Zimo were not bad at fighting. They followed Jiang Zimo and howled into the bandits' stronghold.
The remaining bandits inside hurriedly faced the enemy.
At this moment, there are only about a hundred bandits left in the bandit village's main hall.
This small number of people were quickly killed by Jiang Zimo and others.
A crowd of people rushed into the Juyi Hall.
After killing the last bandit in front of him, he looked towards the Juyi Hall.
There were only a few old people sitting inside.
Zhang Zhihe only looked at Lao Xiao, stood up slowly, and said, "Did you climb up from the cliff?"
Jiang Zimo curled his lips, "Are you the bandit leader of this Fengling Ridge?"
"I... Zhang Zhihe, the military governor of Xiguang County!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Zhihe suddenly raised his head and laughed, "I didn't expect that I would die in the hands of people like you."
These words made all the Guiyang soldiers, including Jiang Zimo, change their expressions.
Zhang Zhihe, the military governor of Xiguang County!
Although I haven't heard of his name for many years, this name is definitely famous in Jingnan County and Xiguang County.
No one had ever thought that there would be such a person in charge of Si Feng Ridge.
No wonder.
No wonder these defense lines are arranged so skillfully.
Then, someone's eyes couldn't help but shine.
Being able to kill Zhang Zhihe was an unexpected surprise. After reporting it to the imperial court, it was definitely a great achievement!
Some people looked at Jiang Zimo, waiting for Jiang Zimo to give orders.
Jiang Zimo was also stunned, and then looked at Lao Xiao.
He didn't think too much about it, and he didn't know the identities of Lu Liang and others. He just felt that the old guys in the Juyi Hall were definitely not simple.
Jieduzhi...
Will he be an incompetent person?
But Lao Xiao had no intention of taking action, and just said softly: "Don't rely on me to take action for everything."
Jiang Zimo scratched his head, "Senior, are you capturing them alive, or..."
Lao Xiao only looked deeply at Zhang Zhihe, turned around and walked out of the house.
Of course he would not take action against Zhang Zhi and them personally.
Even he is not that hard-hearted.
Jiang Zimo was a little confused.
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Zhihe laughed again, "How can I be humiliated by you and Xiaoxiao!"
He drew the knife from his waist.
Kill yourself.
In the surprised eyes of Jiang Zimo and others, the other five old people in the Juyi Hall drew their knives one after another, and all of them wiped their necks.
Before they died, they looked at each other and smiled.
good.
very good.
The cliff at the back of the mountain was a flaw left intentionally by them.
"this……"
Jiang Zimo scratched his head and ordered, "Take a few of you and watch here. The rest of the brothers, come down the mountain with me!"
Hundreds of people ran outside the village.
Bandits came following the sound.
The fighting started again.
Lao Xiao took action.
Probably because he was depressed, he acted extremely harshly.
Even the bandits rushing towards him could not stop him.
And as the commotion on the mountain gradually spread, the bandits guarding the defense line below also gradually became panicked.
Got stabbed in his lair.
They have no way to retreat, and even holding the stronghold is a lie.
Unless all the officers and soldiers on the mountain can be wiped out.
However, several waves of brothers who were transferred there in succession never returned and there was no news from them.
The bandits lost nearly half of them.
…
Near night.
The fighting in Si Fengling came to an end.
There is blood everywhere.
The blood soaked into the ground and dripped down along the bluestone.
Although the last thousand bandits were in danger, they were still frightened and abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
They thought they would have a chance of survival.
But in the end, Lu Fang ordered them all to be killed.
Only a handful of people took advantage of the chaos and fled down the mountain.
Lu Liang, Lu Fang and others all arrived at the Juyi Hall on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the corpses of Zhang Zhihe and others, although he was mentally prepared, his eyes were still complicated.
Jiang Zimo said from the side: "The bandit leader said he was Zhang Zhihe, the governor of Xiguang County. Before we could take action, they all wiped their necks and committed suicide."
Lu Liang walked under Zhang Zhihe's tiger-skin chair and looked at Zhang Zhihe for a long time.
"Burn the corpses!"
Then said.
He also wanted to give Zhang Zhihe and others a grand burial, but this was obviously impossible. With his current status, he couldn't even erect a monument for them.
Because the Chongqing court would never allow him, the envoy, to have any sympathy for these remnants of the previous dynasty.
No matter how great the merit is, it will not work.
Lu Fang turned his head and looked outside.
The sky is gloomy.
Frustrated.
When he actually saw the bodies of Zhang Zhihe and others, a strange emotion spread in his heart.
If Zhang Zhihe and others had died in the battle with Dayu's army, he probably would not have been like this. But the way he died was really complicated.
At the same time, I also feel that the burden on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.
If we can't help Lu Liang regain his position as a great treasure, how can he be worthy of the efforts of Zhang Zhi and these veterans?
Unknowingly, the events of his past life became increasingly faint in his mind.
He is no longer the person who traveled through time.
But the Lu Fang of this world.
He is the dragon son left behind by the previous emperor.
Long Zi, who was burdened with the ruin of his country and family, and a blood feud.
