Zhang Nan ran on the rugged mountain road risking his life.
He knew that as long as he could find Qu Kui a moment earlier, the brothers in the village would have an extra chance of survival.
Moreover, he had walked through the bandits' camps all the way, and he roughly knew that this group of people was fictitious, disorganized, and a ragtag group. As long as he found the team of the leader, he would be able to capture him in one fell swoop.
But there was still a trace of worry in his heart.
With one load, there were so many bandits in the camp at the foot of the mountain that he could see no less than six in the Hundred People's Gate alone, not counting those elsewhere.
One worry is that he is worried that Qu Kui's attack on Diaotiao Mountain will be unfavorable. Once he knows that there is danger in the rear and the army advances and retreats inappropriately, he will become Qu Kui's sinner.
It was with this complicated mood that Zhang Nan finished the fifty-mile mountain road.
By the time we arrived at Diaotiao Mountain, it was already dark. Everything was quiet, and Qu Kui and the others could not be seen at all.
No, is this a win or a loss?
But having already arrived here, Zhang Nan gritted his teeth and took the risk to run up the mountain. His belief at this moment was that Qu Kui would definitely win.
Before he reached the mountainside, a fishing net swayed and caught Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan struggled desperately, but was dragged into the air by a group of people jumping out from behind the tree.
When Zhang Nanzheng was lamenting that my life was at an end, a familiar voice came:
"Hey, why are you here?"
When Zhang Nan heard this, he immediately raised his head and lit the torch. He saw clearly that the ugly man in his eyes was none other than Jin Quan under Ding Sheng's command.
This native of Jibei, who had been abandoned and raised entirely by an old woman, had grown into a rough and powerful man.
Ever since he joined Ding Sheng's command, he has been practicing Huanshou Sword, and he is already the most capable warrior in Ding Sheng's camp.
At this moment, Jin Quan's ugly face was highlighted by the lights, making it particularly terrifying. But Zhang Nan seemed to be seeing family members, and she cried:
"Did Qu Kui win?"
Jin Quan grinned and said with a smile:
"It's not that bad. We, the leader of Ququ, are invincible in the world."
Then, I suddenly wondered:
"Aren't you and Zhang Tun staying at Dazhai? Why are you here? Don't you know that you almost missed the ball? When my brother saw you just now, he was planning to shoot."
After saying this, a young man with a downy mouth next to him smiled honestly.
These words woke Zhang Nan up, but when he was about to get up, he found that he had no strength at all.
I was already exhausted from the journey, and now being tormented by Jinquan really exhausted his energy.
He ignored the discomfort and asked Jinquan and others to drag the fishing net and carry him up the mountain. Something big happened at home.
As soon as he heard that it was so serious, Jin Quan picked up Zhang Nan on his back and pedaled up the mountain with his strong hairy legs, following the torch in front of him.
By the time Zhang Nan was knocked around and reached the Dazhai of Diaoyu Mountain, Zhang Chong and the others had finished counting the prisoners and were packing the captured prisoners into boxes.
At the end of the night, Longitude Man waited for the officials who accompanied the team to count, and found that 800 Dingkou were captured, including 400 brave ones.
Originally, Diaotiaoshan Dazhai was also a stronghold that could recruit more than a thousand brave men. However, after two groups of people fought at night, most of them died or fled, and those who were willing to follow General Shi were the only ones.
However, the amount of money, grain, and equipment was overwhelming. Zhang Suo built three warehouses in total, all of which were full of money, silk, millet, and equipment. These could not be counted in a short time.
But things are like this, happiness and sorrow in the world are conserved. Zhang Chong and others were eating cattle and roasting sheep, and while the cheers continued, Zhang Nan, who was being carried on his back, told them that Wang Zhoufeng was surrounded by a group of thieves.
Suddenly, the whole place fell into silence.
When everyone was silent, Zhang Chong burst out laughing.
"I was worried about how to deal with this group of thieves in Mount Tai, and now they are coming out in force. It's just the right time for me to get in at once."
Duman also said:
"We have been fighting fiercely in the mountains for a year. Why is it so difficult? It's not because these bandits only roam in the mountains. Now they take the initiative to attack, which is exactly what we want. How can those hungry bandits defeat our well-fed and well-fed elites?"
The generals were encouraged by Zhang Chonghe, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Afterwards, Zhang Chong ordered the generals of each village to seize the time and rest for half the night, and then rush on the road under the moonlight in the middle of the night to launch an attack on the bandits in the old village in the early morning.
The generals responded and took their troops to rest.
As soon as everyone left, Duman stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Chong:
"Qu, what should we do with the prisoners and seizures here? We only have two hundred soldiers in total. If we all go down the mountain, wouldn't all of this be in vain?"
Zhang Chong looked at Duman intently and suddenly smiled:
"So, I plan to let you stay here to guard a group of people. Do you have the confidence?"
Duman was a little panicked when Zhang Chong saw him, but he still calmed down and said solemnly:
"He will not be disappointed."
Zhang Chong patted Duman and said, I trust you very much.
-----------------------
"Hey, Shitou, can you sleep?"
Here, a soldier from Yitun Yishi was asking his commander Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong and Wei Zhou, the deputy commander of the camp, were both natives of Jibei and one of the seventy-five old brothers sworn by Zhang Chonglin.
His real name was Gun, but he didn't think it sounded good, so he asked Zhang Chong to give him a name, Zhao Rong. The person who asked him what he said was his Shili pick, called Mountain Dog, and it was Zhang Chong who added it after entering the mountain. Taishan people.
Zhao Rong didn't answer him and turned over to sleep again, but the mountain dog still asked:
"Shitou, the beef we ate today is so delicious. I have never eaten beef in my life. Hey, Shitou, how many times have you eaten beef?"
"Yes, yes, beef is so delicious. If I could eat beef every day, it would be worth dying."
"Bah, you still want to eat every day. Is that what you can think of?"
Just like that, because Shanguo said something about beef, everyone in the tent fell asleep and started discussing how the damn beef tasted so good.
Zhao Rong was annoyed and cursed:
"What the heck, Nai Gong has never eaten beef a few times. You guys eat it every day. You are going to fight tomorrow, and you are still craving for beef here."
After Zhao Rong finished speaking, everyone in the tent fell silent.
Still a mountain dog asked:
"Shitou, in fact, I am willing to die tomorrow. If I can have a meal of beef, I feel that I have lived in this world in vain."
Zhao Rong couldn't sleep now. He stood up and looked at the brothers in the tent. Seeing that they were all making this plan, he opened his mouth and was about to comfort him, but in the end he cursed:
"Damn it, give me a good sleep. After you sleep, go and kill the thief with Nai Gong. After killing the thief, Kui and I said, let's eat beef again. Besides, Nai Gong is not dead, so it's not your turn yet."
After saying that, Zhao Rong turned his head away and lay down with his eyes closed to sleep.
Soon, there was no sound from Yitun Yishi's big tent, but I don't know how many people could really sleep.
When the watchman calculated the time in the middle of the night and informed Zhang Chong, the entire team woke up one after another.
Under the push of their respective team leaders, they began to organize their equipment, and then lined up to go to the baggage station to receive rations.
The brothers in the baggage camp stayed up all night, steamed the rice balls one by one, and distributed them to the brothers in the fighting team.
Zhang Chong, who was standing on the steps, looked at the brothers on the field and said nothing. He just said "take care" to Duman and took the lead to walk to the head of the team.
Then the flags of each camp were waved, and Zhang Chong meandered down the mountain. Only Duman and Wang Zhang's troops were left in Diaotiao Mountain.
They have to rely on their own fifty people, together with the original soldiers from outside the Diaoyu Mountain who survived the fierce battle in the hall, to guard the Diaoyu Mountain.
