How poor the discipline of the bandits is is shown at this time.
The small city tower is nearly three feet high, with steep cliffs on both sides. The gate is also covered with thick iron plates. Even if several were shot to death, there are still more than a dozen bandits guarding the small city tower. If they take advantage of the city wall,
If we hold on to the defense, the small number of people brought by Zhang Liang will not be able to break through the small city tower.
But now, all the bandits who were not shot were scared away. Seven or eight veterans carried ladders and easily occupied the small tower.
Then he immediately opened the heavy door and sent the portable heavy crossbow to the upper floor of the small city.
The same scene also happened at the North Pass of Heishui Gou.
As for the more than a thousand bandits in the hinterland of Heishuigou, we still know nothing about them.
The boss was sleeping soundly with his arms around the girl, when suddenly he heard someone banging on the door wildly outside.
"Who the hell is breaking down the door so early in the morning!"
The boss was so angry that he kicked the girl away, lifted up his pants, opened the door, and shouted at the bandit leader who reported the news: "If you don't give me a justifiable reason, I will skin you today!"
"Master, what's wrong, someone is coming to break into the mountain gate!" the little boss said quickly.
"What did you say?" The boss suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Someone...is coming to break into the mountain gate!" the little boss repeated again.
"Who is so bold? Are you tired of living a crooked life?" The boss's eyes widened with anger.
For the bandits, breaking through the mountain gate means a complete fight to the death.
Heishui Gou is the biggest bandit in Jinchuan, and behind the scenes is County Lieutenant Zhao. No matter black or white, he is the boss of Jinchuan. It would be good if they don't break into other people's gates. Who dares to break into Heishui Gou's gate?
"I didn't see it clearly and couldn't recognize it."
"Then how many are there?"
"Also... I didn't see it clearly either." The little leader replied cautiously: "Their arrows were so accurate. Lao Quan and the others just looked out and were shot to death..."
"You don't know who broke through the gate, and you don't know how many people there are. What gate are you guarding?"
At this point, the headmaster suddenly glared: "By the way, you ran back, who is guarding the door?"
"me……"
The little leader shrank his neck and did not dare to answer.
"What the hell..."
As soon as the big boss saw the little boss's expression, he knew that things were bad. He kicked the little boss over, rushed into the yard, dragged out a big drum, raised his arms and started smashing it.
Boom, boom, boom!
The dull sound of drums rang through the valley, awakening the bandits who were still sleeping.
This was a drumbeat, and the bandits did not dare to delay. They rushed to the school field with their own weapons.
…
More than a mile away from Heishui Valley, two hunters were walking in the woods.
The tall hunter walking in front suddenly stopped: "Old Tang, did you hear anything just now?"
"I seemed to hear a thumping sound, but I couldn't hear it clearly."
The short hunter asked: "Old Han, what's wrong?"
"So you heard it too. I thought I heard it wrong." The tall hunter said, "Isn't this the Heishuigou bandits beating the drum?"
"You don't care who plays the drum, let's go quickly and see if we caught any wild boars in yesterday's pit." The short hunter pushed his companion.
"If not, no matter how anxious we are, there will still be nothing there. If there is, if we go tomorrow, it won't be able to escape."
The tall hunter said: "But you can't usually see bandits playing drums."
"What's so weird about playing a drum? If you want to hear it, I'll borrow the drum at the entrance of the village when you go back. You can play it as you like."
"You don't know this. The bandits have a special way of playing drums. It's called tapping the general drum. Every time the drum is sounded, it means that the bandits have encountered something big."
The tall bandit said: "We have all walked here. If we take a few steps to the side, we can see the Black Water Ditch. It would be a pity not to go and take a look."
After saying that, he ignored the short bandit's obstruction, waved his hatchet to cut through the thorns, and went to the right.
The short bandit had no choice but to follow.
The two of them walked forward four to five hundred meters in the forest and reached a cliff. Looking down, they had a panoramic view of the entire Blackwater ditch.
"My God, there are so many bandits. There must be more than a thousand people here."
The tall hunter stared at the dark bandits in the school grounds and said with emotion: "They say Heishui Gou is the biggest bandit in Jinchuan, and it seems true."
"What are the bandits gathering for?" asked the short hunter.
"How do I know?" the tall hunter speculated: "Maybe there is a large caravan passing by on the official road, and they are going to slaughter the fat sheep."
"How big a caravan needs to dispatch so many bandits?"
The short hunter frowned and said: "Mr. Jin from Xihewan has recently set up a bandit suppression team and is suppressing bandits everywhere. They are not going to deal with Mr. Jin's bandit suppression team, right?"
His father was also a hunter. When he went to the county to sell prey a few years ago, he encountered a group of bandits and was killed by the bandits. From then on, he hated the bandits but was unable to take revenge.
However, this group of bandits were wiped out by the bandit suppression team a few days ago. After hearing about this, he cried in front of his father's grave all morning and kowtowed several times in the direction of Xihewan.
Thinking that the Heishuigou bandits might attack the bandit suppression team, he couldn't help but worry about the bandit suppression team.
"I heard that the bandit suppression teams in Xihewan only have thirty-one people each. Even if Heishui Gou wants to deal with them, there is no need to pull so many people out at once, right?"
The tall hunter also knew about his companion and comforted him in a low voice: "The bandit must have encountered something else."
The short hunter hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, I have to go find the bandit suppression team and tell them about this matter. If it is true, they can be prepared."
"Don't be impulsive. If you are caught by the bandits, you will be doomed." The tall hunter grabbed his companion.
"If I don't take the main road, the bandits won't be able to catch up with me in the woods!" The short hunter looked confident.
"Then do you know where the bandit suppression team is?" the tall hunter asked.
"I went to the county government a few days ago to sell game. I heard that they were near Yanghe Village. I went there to look for them."
The short hunter said: "If I really can't find it, I will go to Xihewan and notify Mr. Jin."
"Does Mr. Jin know who you are? If you inform them, then they will believe you?"
"It's Mr. Jin's business to believe it or not, but it's my business whether to go or not."
The short hunter had a very determined attitude: "I don't have the ability. The bandits killed my father, and I can't avenge him."
The anti-bandit team avenged me. If I don't go, I won't be able to see my father even if I die."
As he was about to go down the mountain, he was grabbed by a tall hunter: "Wait a minute, you see, many of the bandits are still shirtless. They don't look like they are going out to deal with the bandit suppression team..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the bandits shouting and rushing towards the Nanshan Pass.
When the bandits poured into the narrow mountain pass, several spears suddenly flew out from the small tower of the mountain pass!
