spend time

"Boss, the officers and soldiers are here."

"There are still five miles to go before we reach the outside of the stronghold. The brothers who explored the road have come back to report, and they have also brought tools to attack the city and take out the stronghold. They are planning to catch us all in one fell swoop!"

"We'd better run!"

People in Heisong Village were panicked.

That's how it used to be. King Nanyang led troops to suppress the bandits, but they ran away after hearing the news. If you are unlucky, you will be caught and killed, but if you are lucky, you can save your life.

This time, the boss insisted on competing with the princess. It's good now, seeing the army coming, they are about to be made dumplings.

Zhu Yidao also regretted it. However, as the boss, you must not mess up your position at this time. Otherwise it will be a mess.

Zhu Yidao glared and cursed loudly: "Why panic? According to the old rules, fifty people are left to guard the gate of the village, and the rest enter the tunnel in two waves."

Being a bandit is a job where you hang your head on your waist and lose your life at any time. Those who stay at the gate of the village will most likely die.

No one wants it. They had to draw lots, and those who were unlucky were like those who were given the final exam. Those who win the lottery will be greatly relieved, quickly roll up some clothes and food, and crawl into the tunnel like a mouse.

There are two tunnels, one entrance is in the kitchen and the other is in the warehouse.

Zhu Yidao said loudly: "Everyone enter the tunnel separately, I will break up the rear."

The bandits were so busy running for their lives that they didn't even have time to cheer.

After all the bandits entered the tunnel, Zhu Yidao quietly turned around and went to his house. He opened the bed and discovered that it was also the entrance to a secret tunnel.

This is the third tunnel. It is also Zhu Yidao's real trump card.

The dozen or so people following Zhu Yidao were all Zhu Yidao's confidants.

"Boss, if we leave like this, what will we do with so many women in the village?" One of the bandits licked his lips with a look of reluctance.

Zhu Yidao was filled with annoyance and kicked him over: "It's already this time, why are you still thinking about women? Get out of the tunnel first."

"Boss, where are we hiding?"

"Are you still hiding in that mountain lair last time?"

A fierce light flashed in Zhu Yidao's eyes: "No, let's rush to the bottom of the mountain and catch that little bitch. Otherwise, the bad breath in my heart will be hard to get rid of!"

The confidants were shocked: "Boss! That is the princess, there must be guards around her."

"Aren't we just going to die if we go there?"

Zhu Yidao was already overwhelmed with anger, and he still had contempt for Princess Nanyang in his heart. He chuckled and said, "I will hide for a day or two. When the stronghold is breached and the defense in the military camp is relaxed, then I can go Arrest people. With the princess in hand, I want a hundred and eighty thousand silver. When the time comes, I will escape to the south of the Yangtze River and buy a large piece of land to become a landlord. I will eat, drink, have fun and be happy for the rest of my life! What do you think, do you dare to give it a try? Bundle!"

The faint of heart cannot become a bandit. The dozen or so bandits in front of them were all masters of licking blood with their swords. After hearing these words, their blood boiled with passion.

"Listen to the boss."

“My head fell off and there’s a scar as big as a bowl, let’s fight!”

Zhu Yidao grinned and entered the tunnel first. The other bandits followed in one by one.

Click, click, the tunnel entrance quickly closed. The bed returned to its original appearance.

……

The bandits fled in all directions. On this side, Qin Zhan and Liu Hengchang had already led their troops to attack the stronghold. The bandits who were left to guard the gate of the village were about to explode when they saw the tall siege vehicles erected outside the gate.

Finished!

Their biggest reliance is the terrain and the tall village gate, which may be able to block them for two or three days. But now, two siege vehicles about the same height as the village gate were set up, and a cloud ladder was also set up. Dozens of armored archers crouched on sturdy vehicles. There were also many strong men armed with spears and knives, full of murderous intent.

There was also a trebuchet. A huge boulder was placed on it and several people worked together. The boulder flew up and hit the village heavily. There was an unlucky man who was hit by a boulder and couldn't even scream in agony. He was reduced to a pile of flesh and blood.

The bandits were frightened and had no fighting spirit.

War drums were thundering outside, sharp arrows were being fired, and someone was already climbing up the ladder.

The first one is black, tall and strong, like an iron tower. Holding a long knife in his hand, the moment he stepped onto the village gate, he slashed hard with the long knife and cut a bandit in half. Blood splattered, and the heart, liver, and lungs were scattered all over the floor.

Suddenly one of the bandits was so frightened that he lost his footing and fell straight down the village gate.

Tao Da, who was as tall as an iron tower, jumped down from the village gate and killed the timid bandit with one blow.

The archer Oda squatting on the siege truck performed equally well, shooting arrow after arrow steadily. Eliminate the threats around Tao Da.

Soon, one by one, the soldiers climbed onto the gate of the village, jumped into the village, and fought with the bandits. There were only fifty bandits left behind, and all of them were frightened. The enemy's powerful generals and elite soldiers were all like murderous gods, and there was a steady stream of them. The bandits soon collapsed.

In an instant, the village gate was lost.

Liu Hengchang and Qin Zhan were holding the battle from behind, but they had not yet taken action themselves.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhan grinned with pride on his face: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army but it takes only a moment! The sons finally did not embarrass the princess!"

Liu Hengchang smiled and flattered him calmly: "General Qin's men are all talented, brave and fearless men!"

Those responsible for the main attack on the gate of the village were all members of the First Guard Battalion. Qin Zhan accepted this compliment unceremoniously: "It's not bad. Tao Da was the first to attack the village gate and made the first contribution. Xiaotian led the archers to cover, and he will be indispensable in the discussion of merit after the war." "

"The third battalion is also full of heroes. They transported the siege equipment such a long way and assembled it quickly without delaying the attack on the stronghold. They are all good!"

Liu Hengchang was humble and low-key: "General Qin and General Meng are loyal and courageous, and are good at leading troops. I have learned a thing or two on weekdays, and I have learned a lot from them."

Qin Zhan laughed and reached out to pat Liu Hengchang on the shoulder: "General Liu, don't be so humble and polite. Your ability is incomparable to Lao Meng and I."

"However, there is one thing I want to remind you. Although the princess is young, she is resolute and decisive, quite like the prince in his time. Such a master deserves our full support and respect."

"Don't think too much. Stay in the military camp and serve the princess. The princess will not treat you badly."

Liu Hengchang: "..."

This reckless man had sharp eyes and could see through his subtle thoughts.

Liu Hengchang laughed dryly: "General Qin is joking. I have never thought of leaving the Guards Camp."

"There is no best. Work with peace of mind, and you will have a bright future in the future." Qin Zhan laughed again: "Also, don't be so accommodating. We have been together for a few years, and I am a few years older than you. You call me Qin That’s it, bro.”

Liu Hengchang quickly changed his tune and called Brother Qin.

At this moment, the village gate was broken.

Qin Zhan immediately stopped chatting: "Let's go in quickly, these brats don't want to kill innocent people."
