Thousands of troops left Huangtu Village alone and returned to Heishui Village like a tide. They wanted to go up the mountain for reinforcements, but they never expected that the speed of the people in Zijin Village was simply unbelievable. When the troops arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zijin Village's flags had already been erected at the strategic stronghold on the mountain. "Shen" flag.
Although most of the gangsters are illiterate, they all recognize the flag of the Third Leader.
There are flags with the word "Chen" flying on the mountain, which means that Zijin Village has controlled Heishui Village at an incredible speed.
But thinking about it, it’s not impossible to understand.
Blackwater Village originally had a large number of men. In normal times, even if Zijin Village and Huangtu Village were attacking Heishui Village from the left and right, Heishui Village could still resist with its large number of people and strong fortifications. However, this time in order to quickly After capturing Huangtu Village, only a small number of men were left in Blackwater Village, and all other bandits were deployed to attack Huangtu Village.
No one expected that Zijin Village would take advantage of the situation. Blackwater Village was outnumbered and was caught off guard by Zijin Village. The most important thing was that Shen Xuangan knew the defense situation of Heishui Village very well. They have been prepared for a long time. Under this situation, it is not difficult to quickly control Heishui Village.
Heishui Village is the main village among the five villages in Heishan. The fortifications built over the years are naturally unmatched by other villages.
Du Zitong's attack on Huangtu Village was very difficult. Now facing the defensive stronghold that has been controlled by the bandits in Zijin Village, trying to attack the mountain is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The terrible thing is that the bandits on the mountain obviously understand the mood of the brothers at the bottom of the mountain. They have already shouted loudly from above: "Brothers in Heishui Village, don't worry, your family members are safe and sound, and we will not harm them." The eldest master is unkind and unjust. He harmed his brothers and even forced his second sister-in-law to death. Such a shameless person is not worthy of being the master of Montenegro. The second master and the third master have captured Zhou Hongji. Everything has nothing to do with you. As long as you put down your weapons, Wait at the foot of the mountain, the two masters will make proper arrangements."
"Anyone who attacks the mountain stronghold will be annihilated by Montenegro." Loud voices on the mountain shouted in turn: "If you are an enemy of Montenegro, we will not be able to guarantee the safety of your family members."
The shouts on the mountain were naturally directed by someone, and they directly hit the hearts of the bandits in Heishui Village below the mountain. Their families were all on the mountain, and now they fell into the hands of Zijin Village. If they attacked the mountain at this time and became enemies of Zijin Village, Zijin Village might not be able to escape. He would kill his own family members.
Although most people would not really put down their weapons, they did not dare to attack the mountain.
The families of the bandits in Baimuzhai are all on the other side of Baimuzhai. Although there are a few people left to guard, no one can guarantee that they will be safe and sound. Therefore, the bandits in Baimuzhai have no intention of attacking the mountain. Instead, they want to rush back as soon as possible. In Baimuzhai, protecting your family is the most important thing.
Huangtu Village and Zijin Village rebelled successively, and the main village was controlled by Zijin Village. The officers and soldiers were not far to the south. Although they did not kill them immediately, it still frightened the Black Mountain bandits. After all, they had already experienced the bravery of Long Ruijun. If you were to suddenly attack from behind, the result would be unimaginable.
At present, the morale of the Black Bandits has dropped to the bottom, and everyone is at a loss.
The second master and the third master brought down the first master, and the gangsters couldn't tell who was who and who was wrong. They all felt confused as to what the situation in Montenegro was at the moment. Everyone was even more confused.
At this time, the bandits in Heishui Village did not dare to fight, and the people in Baimuzhai did not want to fight. There was chaos at the bottom of the mountain. Although Du Zitong ordered an attack on the mountain, after the first wave of people were forced back, no one rushed up the mountain again.
"Fourth Leader, we can't fight." A small leader of Baimuzhai approached Du Zitong and said helplessly: "We can't control the things here. We can only retreat to Baimuzhai first and defend our home to prevent other changes. Five
There is no news about the leader yet, but he is the adopted son of the eldest leader. Although there are few people in Honghuo Village, the fifth master is extremely brave. We will first send people to Honghuo Village to contact the fifth master to see what the fifth master will do next, and then
Make plans for the next step.”
Although Du Zitong was unwilling, he also knew that what the little boss said was the last choice at the moment.
Naturally, he was also worried that his lair had been stolen. He also knew that since Zijin Village had taken control of all the strongholds in Heishui Village, Zhou Hongji was definitely in danger now. The people in Heishui Village did not dare to fight. If his men were allowed to continue
When attacking the mountain, only Baimuzhai's direct descendants will be killed or injured. In order to rescue Zhou Hongji, who is in danger, he has to lose his own men, which is not worth it.
And at this time, he had not forgotten Long Rui's army in the south. Long Rui's army was only a dozen miles away from here. Once the offensive was launched, it would be too late to retreat. He finally made up his mind and ordered: "Send the order."
Go down and let the brothers return to Baimuzhai."
"The people from Blackwater Village...?" the little boss asked cautiously.
Du Zitong thought that all these people's families were in the hands of Shen Xuangan. If the people from Heishui Village were to follow them to Baimuzhai, Shen Xuangan would use these people's families to threaten the bandits in Heishui Village.
If so, these people will rebel in Baimuzhai. If this is the case, Baimuzhai will collapse on its own.
He looked coldly at the panic-stricken Heishui Village team over there, and without saying anything, he got on his horse, shook the horse's reins, and said loudly: "All the brothers in Baimuzhai will follow me back to the village."
The bandits in Baimuzhai were worried about not being able to go back. When they heard Du Zitong's order, they were so happy that they no longer bothered with Heishui Village and followed Du Zitong straight to the east.
A large number of bandits from Baimu Village headed eastward like a tide. A small number of bandits from Heishui Village followed them for a while as a reflex, but found that many of the brothers in the village had not moved. Only then did they come back to their senses.
My home is in Heishui Village, and my whole family is in the mountains, so what's the point of going to Baimuzhai at this time.
The three thousand bandits in Heishui Village watched helplessly as the team split into two, and the people in Baimuzhai hurried away, and they were even more panicked for a while.
"What does the fourth leader mean?" Several young leaders from Heishui Village quickly gathered together and watched Du Zitong and his people walking further and further away. They were confused at first, and then showed anger: "He...
Is he abandoning Blackwater Village?"
"The boss is still on the mountain, but he has abandoned him. This dog...!" Someone was so angry that he spat on the ground.
"What should we do?" All the little leaders were leaderless. Once Du Zitong left, they were leaderless. They could not go up the mountain, but they had no way to retreat. Thousands of people were scattered at the foot of the mountain, and it was difficult to return home.
An older leader pondered for a moment, then said: "Shen Xuangan betrayed the first master, and in order to join forces with Huangtu Village, he must have rescued the second master from Guimen Cliff. If this is the case, if the two villages join forces, we are not at all
opponent."
"The boss must have fallen into their hands." Someone said anxiously: "We can't go up the mountain, and we have no food. It's getting dark and it's going to snow again. At night, we have nothing to eat and we can't keep warm.
, are you going to starve to death and freeze to death at the foot of the mountain?"
"Frozen to death and starved to death?" Someone said with a bitter smile: "You are overthinking. Didn't you see that the officers and soldiers in the south are already waiting for an opportunity? After dark, maybe they will come and kill them, and then...!"
As soon as these words came out, all the little leaders looked horrified.
"I can't understand, what's going on?" One person sat down on the ground with a look of despair: "Weren't things going well a few days ago? Why did Montenegro become like this in the blink of an eye? The boss...
....Why does the first master say that the second master is a traitor? If the second master leads us, even if the officers and soldiers come to kill us, we will not be afraid. The fourth master sees that the situation is not good, and runs back to his village with his own people, throwing
We don't care, the second master has never left us in all these years?"
The person next to him also said angrily: "Du Zitong is an incompetent person. In my opinion, it was his incompetence that caused heavy casualties among our brothers during the last night attack. If the second master led us to kill him that day, he would never have done it."
That's the result. Du Zitong failed in the night attack, so he slandered the second master as a traitor in front of the first master. Do you still remember that the fourth master blocked the messenger at the foot of the mountain, searched for the map, and said that the second master sent someone
It’s given to the officers and soldiers, but no matter how I think about it, it doesn’t feel right. How could the second-in-command be so loyal and loyal as to betray Montenegro?”
"You think the same as me." Someone immediately said: "The messenger was killed. Du Zitong took out the map. Who can guarantee that he didn't forge it to frame the second master? The first master and the second master are at odds with each other.
, it’s Du Zitong, a bastard, who is blocking it. If the second master is still fine, how can Zijin Village rebel? "
"Yes, with the second master under control, no one dares to mess around."
The older leader said: "What's the use of talking about this now? The second and third masters have rebelled, and the Blackwater Village and the first master have also fallen into their hands. What should we do now?"
"From the fifth master." Someone finally said: "Let's send people to Honghuo Village quickly. If something happens to the big master, the fifth master will not save him. When the fifth master comes, we can just listen to his orders."
The leaders looked at each other and felt that this was the only option at the moment. They immediately sent people on fast horses to Honghuo Village to look for Zhou Yuanbao. They were worried that the officers and soldiers would come from behind. The petty leaders immediately called on the bandits to organize their formation.
They were divided into two teams, one team was on guard against the people on the mountain who would be killed, and the other team was arrayed facing the south to deal with the officers and soldiers who might come over at any time.
The fifth master, Zhou Yuanbao, is not in Honghuo Village at the moment. He is in a secluded place in the northeast corner of Heishui Village.
Here is a bamboo forest, which is still green even though it is winter. A small tomb has been raised on the edge of the bamboo forest. Zhou Yuanbao is lying next to the tomb, motionless, as if he has frozen to death.
The killings in Heishui Village were heard in the past, and he could faintly hear them, but he ignored them at all, as if they had nothing to do with him.
