C18 Surprise Bandit Head

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Not long after the sun rose, Xu Zhu arrived with the thousand five hundred villagers of the Xu Family Villa. Yang Lin personally came out to receive them, and arranged for the brave villagers of the Xu Family Villa to rest in the nearby valleys, waiting for Chen Ze's arrival.

Immediately after, the men from the Li Family Villa also came, but Eldest Uncle Li Shuang did not come. Instead, he had his sons Li Liang and Li Qing bring him here. Li Liang and Li Qing were around eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, their faces were fair and clean, and their bodies unusually sturdy. The two brothers walked together, like two stone blocks.

Not long later, the Wang Family Manor's village braves followed. As per their agreement, Wang Da also did not come. Instead, he sent his sons, Wang Gang and Wang Po, to come with the village men. Wang Gang and Wang Po were slightly taller than Li Liang and Li Qing, but thinner. They were handsome and elegant, more like two young masters.

Whether it was Li Liang, Li Qing, Wang Gang or Wang Po, Yang Lin had seen them a few days ago. It was just that at that time, his attention was not on them, and he did not remember them. This time, Yang Lin carefully sized them up after they brought their group here, leaving a deep impression on them.

After arranging for all the village men, it was already past noon, and Chen Ze had already brought over a hundred and fifty County Officer General s with him before he arrived. After all, these soldiers were regular, trained armies. They were well-disciplined and well-organized, and each of them had a long line of Banner flying in the wind.

"Master Yang, let me introduce you, this is the hundred generals, Zhang Liang."

"Greetings Master Yang."

"Welcome, welcome."

Yang Lin walked up to him and cupped his hands in a salute, he sized Zhang Liang up and down. Zhang Liang was eight feet tall, with a huge body and a square face with a wide mouth, making him look like a stone pillar. The only difference was that the skin was a little healthy (a little dark), and the two rows of teeth were very white and clean.

"Look at the weapon I brought you."

Chen Ze brought a few large carts covered with bundles of War Horse Grass. Opening all these grass, Yang Lin saw that they were all the weapons and equipment that he wanted the most. Looking at the bright armor and shiny swords and spears, Yang Lin laughed excitedly.

"Master Yang, I have brought you the best weapon in the army warehouse in Chu.

Chen Ze laughed as he spoke, leading Yang Lin, Xu Zhu, Li Liang and the others to inspect their weapons and equipment. Yang Lin picked up his weapons and spears and looked at them lovingly. These weapons and equipment were indeed top-grade military equipment, all made of fine steel. Compared to the big blades and spears that hunters use, they were many times better.

However, Yang Lin was a little regretful in his heart. In the eyes of the modern age, these spears were made of double-edged long spears. It would be great if they could be transformed into trident sharp blades. However, all of these spears were meant for the Lance Soldier. The spears were extremely long, and were especially suitable for assassinations.

Those big blades were meant for blade and shield hands, the blade edge was about four feet long and the knife handle was about one foot long. The broadsword was broad and heavy, it was good for hacking and could also be stabbed forward. Furthermore, it had a scabbard attached to it. The hunting knife was wider and thicker than the hunters', weighing more than twenty catties. This type of large sabre was suitable for infantry use. To cavalry, it was a little too heavy.

"It is indeed a good weapon. Chen Gongzi has troubled you."

No matter what, this was still a high quality weapon. Furthermore, Chen Ze had done his best, but Yang Lin was still satisfied. One had to know that the fine steel at this time was specially used by the imperial government. Even if one wanted to forge a weapon, it would be difficult to obtain such fine steel.

"Master Yang, what is the purpose of the ropes that you are hanging on the sides of the horses?"

"Hehe, this is what you use when riding a horse. It's convenient to ride on horses like this, you don't need to hold onto the horse belly with your legs, you can still shoot arrows on horses and fight to the death. "

"Oh, that's a good idea. Let's do it too."

Chen Ze suddenly found out Yang Lin's secret, Yang Lin laughed, and then told him. There was no time now. When he had time, he would make stirrups. He arranged for the servants to keep the weapons, and then invited the leaders to the great hall to discuss the great matter of destroying Zhang Dazui.

waved his hand and chased all the servants out, then ordered He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, Liu Pi and Gong Dou to guard the surroundings of the great hall, preventing anyone from getting close. Right now, he was not sure if Zhang Dazui still had other insider networks, so he had to be careful.

"Everyone, don't think that I am pretending to be mysterious. We just caught a traitor yesterday. According to him, Zhang Dazui had sent some of his subordinates to use the dice to gamble, causing Yang Mansion's servant to owe him a large sum of money, forcing the servant to spread the news for Zhang Dazui, and had kept it hidden for five years. Zhang Dazui had been looking for an opportunity to take down the Yang Mansion. This time, Zhang Dazui attacked the Yang Mansion and he was the one who leaked the news. "

Seeing everyone looking at him with suspicion, Yang Lin explained to them. That Yang Ping, of course, did not die, and was escorted back by Yang Lei, and then, all of them confessed. In the past five years, he had told Zhang Dazui about this three times, but Zhang Dazui did not act rashly. Originally, this opportunity could not be any better, but it was destroyed by Yang Lei's family and his fellow villagers.

"These few days, I have been interrogating the bandits and captives. Zhang Dazui has set up many eyes and ears in the nearby mountains. If our brave village army were to move, he would definitely hide himself, and we might not even be able to see him in person. "

"Those bandits usually live in the Dark Dragon Cave. That Dark Dragon Cave has access to everything, and if we attack, they might disappear without a trace. If we can't catch Zhang Dazui, even if we kill off all the other bandits, he will still create another group of bandits within our knowledge of time. "

"So, I think the main point of this bandit war is to capture Zhang Dazui and then eliminate the other bandits. Now, I have obtained an important piece of information: Zhang Dazui has a lover and has given birth to a son for him.

"In order not to alert Zhang Dazui, I have decided to only bring a few people who are disguised as hunters and plan to head to Wulong Mountain to capture Zhang Dazui. A large group of people then went on to exterminate the other bandits. What do you think? "

"Good idea."

Who would have thought that Chen Ze would be the first one to agree. After all, Chen Ze was a County Officer General and had more battle experience than others, so he naturally knew the principle of capturing the bandit leader first. As the commander of the bandits this time, he wished to capture Zhang Dazui. That way, he could be considered to have annihilated all the bandits in Wulong Mountain.

Under the warm sunlight, a gentle breeze was blowing the pine branches that had taken root in the cracks of the rocks, presenting the magnificent scenery of Little Flood Mountain and Lin Tao. The strange trees and trees that rose and fell with the mountains all merged into a sea of trees. In the mountain wind, thousands of branches were swaying, emitting waves of sound, causing people's hearts to be captivated.

On a narrow path in the mountain, a dozen tall men were galloping at a fast pace. They were dressed in the clothes used by local hunters, with bows and arrows slung over their backs, and a long spear slung over their horses. From afar, they looked like a group of hunters. The only difference was that they were in a hurry, as if they were not interested in the prey in the mountains.

Cloud Viewing Platform sounded very poetic. It was unknown which scholar named him, but there was nothing special about him. This was only a small mountain village, and a poor one at that. There were only 50 or so families in the village, 300 or so people, and more than 20 households that lived in caves.

Even the villagers who had houses were made of broken thatched huts. Whether it was roofs or walls, they were all made from a type of thatch in the mountains. The only difference was that the walls were covered with mud. In other words, a place to shelter from wind and rain was not much better than living in a cave.

On the northern side of the village, the road that led to the mountain was the only brick house in the village. It was especially conspicuous amongst the rows and rows of broken grass huts, and was Xiao Shuixian's home. Of course, this was all thanks to Zhang Dazui. Without Zhang Dazui, Xiao Shuixian wouldn't be able to make it to the brick house.

Xiao Shuixian's husband was originally a bandit as well. After being killed in a robbery, Xiao Shuixian and Zhang Dazui started to interact. Some secretly said that Zhang Dazui and Xiao Shuixian were in love with each other and had caused the death of Xiao Shuixian's husband. Just what was going on, perhaps only Zhang Dazui knew.

Taking advantage of the night, Yang Lin and the others sneaked onto the mountain in the northern part of the Cloud Viewing Platform, carefully observing the conspicuous brick house. However, there were no movements in the brick house, it seemed that Zhang Dazui did not come to Xiao Shuixian's place, he could only wait patiently.

"Master Yang, ambushing us is really not something we can do. Sleeping on the stone slabs, eating dried rations and drinking spring water every day is something I can't take."

It wasn't an easy task for them to hide in the mountains. If they were tired, they would sleep inside the cave. If they were hungry, they could only nibble on the dry rations and drink a few mouthfuls of spring water. For Xu Zhu and Chen Ze, who were born into a noble family, this was indeed a little hard for them.

"Haha, bear with it. This is for you." Once we capture Zhang Dazui, you will have accomplished a great deed and might even become a County Officer. "

Chen Ze was the one who asked for it, he and Zhang Liang brought two capable generals. He wanted to catch Zhang Dazui with his own hands and get the credit of killing the bandits, so he risked his life to take the risk. On the other hand, Xu Zhu liked to take risks, he did not even place Zhang Dazui in his eyes.

"Don't be anxious, that old brat Zhang Dazui will definitely come. Can't you see how enchanting Xiao Shuixian is? How could Zhang Dazui bear to come? "

"Hehe, that Zhang Dazui won't be able to survive past three days."

did not expect that even after lurking for two days, Zhang Dazui still had not appeared. According to Li Quan, whenever Zhang Dazui went to a house, he did not have a fixed date. It was all because of his interest, so for outsiders, even if they were his trusted aides, it would be hard to know where he would spend the night.

"Pu!"

Just as Yang Lin, Chen Ze and Xu Zhu were chatting, a Arrows flew to the top of the mountain and nailed onto a big tree beside Yang Lin, causing Yang Lin and the others to jump in shock. Yang Lin looked carefully, the arrowhead of the Arrows had already pierced deep into the tree trunk, but the arrowhead was still jumping around.

"There's a letter."

Yang Lin was wondering, who could possibly have shot the arrow? However, he discovered that the arrow was strange. The shaft of the arrow was much thicker than an ordinary arrow, and it seemed to be wrapped in something. He quickly took off the Arrows. It turned out that the arrow shaft was tightly wrapped in a piece of cloth.

"I will definitely come tonight. I will definitely search the mountain."

"Ah ?"

Everyone looked at each other, their minds filled with questions. Who was this person? Why send us a letter? How did we get discovered when we were all hiding? It looks like he already knows who we're waiting for, and how did he find out?

"No matter what, this person has already reported the message to us. We should move on to another hiding place."

"Yes, since this place has already been discovered, we should move somewhere else."

Once Yang Lin suggested it, Chen Ze agreed immediately. The others hurried to lead the horses and clear up the traces of their activities on the hill. and Yang Bao finally went down the mountain. On the mountain, there were no longer any traces of people coming here.

"Zhang Dazui is here."

In the middle of the night, Yang Song and Yang Bai who were watching woke everyone up. They hurriedly rubbed their eyes. Under the bright moonlight, they discovered that there were ten or so people searching for the mountain. Quietly, carefully, they examined every place on the mountain.

"It's fine. Let's go."

A bandit who looked like the leader waved his hand, and a dozen people walked down the mountain. At this time, everyone saw that there were still more than ten bandits at the foot of the mountain. The two groups of bandits came together and whispered a few words to each other before walking into the village.

"Boom ?" "BOOM, BOOM!"

"Boom ?" "BOOM, BOOM!"

"Boom ?" "BOOM, BOOM!"

A long and short knock on the door thrice, suddenly, the yard gate of the brick house opened, releasing an unpleasant sound. A black shadow slipped in, and immediately after, the yard gate closed again. The twenty odd bandits stayed outside the yard gate. They jumped down from their horses and split into groups, forming a tight circle around the small yard.

"Brothers, there are a total of twenty-six bandits, each of us has to deal with two, and the other one will be left to deal with Zhang Dazui."

"Zhang Liang and I will deal with Zhang Dazui, you handle the other bandits."

Just as Yang Lin finished speaking, Chen Ze brought up the matter of him taking care of Zhang Dazui first. Yang Lin laughed, knowing that he was doing this for the sake of gaining merits, he nodded his head and agreed. Although he didn't know what Chen Ze and Zhang Liang's martial arts were like, with their bodies, dealing with Zhang Dazui shouldn't be a problem.

"I'll sneak over."

Deep in the night, the Cloud Viewing Platform appeared abnormally quiet. The stars in the sky kept blinking, the moon was high in the sky, the silver moonlight was like water on the earth, the whole village was immersed in the moonlight. There was only the sound of a mountain spring gently flowing past the village and the sound of water splashing could be heard.

"Attack!"

With a wave of Yang Lin's hand, more than a dozen figures jumped out from the darkness, like ghosts that had emerged from hell. The messy sound of footsteps quickly rushed towards the brick house, the dazzling blade light under the moonlight was extremely dazzling.

"Wind is rising ?"

Those bandits who were on sentry duty were also experienced in battles, they quickly reacted and gave the signal to Zhang Dazui first. But without waiting for them to shout for a second time, Xu Zhu, who was rushing at the very front, had already arrived. He swung his sword horizontally, and the bandit was completely silent.

"Clang ?"

The other bandit reacted quickly enough, as he shouted out his signal, he brandished his blade and pounced towards Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu laughed coldly, and slashed towards his big blade, the two blade clashed, and made a clear sound, causing the bandit to go numb. Before he could react, Xu Zhu's wrist turned, and the large blade came slashing over. The bandit only saw a flash of cold light and his head flew into the air, but his body fell on the ground.

Yang Lin took a few steps forward and pounced on the two bandits. Just as the two bandits pulled out their swords, they slashed towards Yang Lin. Yang Lin raised his big blade, and immediately released a loud explosion. Yang Lin raised his leg and kicked a bandit, causing him to stab forward, and the bandit who was not kicked immediately felt his heart go cold, the tip of the blade sticking out from his back.

"Whoosh."

A rush of hot blood rushed towards Yang Lin, but Yang Lin was not in time to dodge, he was sprayed all over his body and face, he did not care anymore, with a pull of his blade, the bandit's corpse rolled in the air, and fiercely crashed onto the ground, not moving at all.

"Ah ?"

The fallen bandit wanted to stand up, but who knew that Yang Lin would take a step forward and brandish his blade with both of his hands, chopping down towards the bandit's neck. He had to admit that the big blade Chen Ze brought with him was indeed fast, to the point that Yang Lin felt that it was as easy as cutting a watermelon, but the bandit's head was already rolling on the ground.

"Die!"

With an explosive shout, welcomed the three bandits. He held two large blades in her hands, and like two toys, she raised them up, causing the heads of the two bandits to disappear, while the remaining bandit noticed that the situation was bad, and rushed forward, but unexpectedly, He Man chased after him for a few steps, and with one slash, she sliced the bandit into two.

"Dong Dong Dong ?"

He Man who was unsatisfied held onto her two large blades, and rushed towards the two fleeing bandits. He was tall and legs long, she ran away in three steps. The two bandits had just climbed onto the back of the horse, and before they could even run, He Man had chopped them down with her saber. The pitiful bandit did not even have time to scream before she cut them off at the waist. What was even more strange was that the bandit still had her eyes fixed on He Man, but her body slowly slid to the ground.

"Mother ?"

The other bandit cried out in alarm and galloped off, but in her panic, he did not untie the reins of his horse. He Man snickered like a ghost in the dark night, scaring the bandit out of his horse. Who knew that He Man's big blade was waiting there, when he jumped down, her head and body were already separated.

"BOOM!"

Just as the others were fighting with the bandits, Chen Ze brought Zhang Liang and his subordinates to rush to the mouth of the yard gate, he suddenly raised his left leg and kicked fiercely towards the yard gate. Chen Ze and his four subordinates rushed in.

Just as the first bandit shouted, Zhang Dazui was doing a big job on top of Xiao Shuixian's stomach, rampaging around. It was a time of extreme joy, when he suddenly shriveled up and the strong wind was no longer around, thus he jumped up from Xiao Shuixian's body and frantically hung himself up.

"Kill ?"

Just as Zhang Dazui opened Xiao Shuixian's door, he jumped up with a roar and swung his blade. When Zhang Dazui opened the door, the blade had already come out, and welcomed him with a slash. The two blades collided, causing sparks to fly everywhere, and the sounds of explosions were ear-piercing.

"Kill ?"

Zhang Liang and the rest of the County Officer General behind Chen Ze roared, and pounced towards Zhang Dazui from all four directions. Clank clank clank clank! The sound of the clanging metal blades clanging against each other resounded. Four steel blades landed on Zhang Dazui's blade. Taking this opportunity, Chen Ze cut in from the middle, using all his strength to slash, leaving no way out.

However, Zhang Dazui was not an easy opponent, although he had not learnt any martial arts nor knew any sword skills, but after training on the battlefield for tens of miles, he had learnt a whole set of skills, especially his ability to escape. Seeing that he was not his opponent, he rolled on the ground, jumped like a fish, and rushed out of Xiao Shuixian's courtyard wall.

"Chase!"

Chen Ze was furious, the six of them could not handle just one Zhang Dazui, if word of this got out, wouldn't others laugh at him? He suddenly took a few steps forward and jumped over the wall as well. The other officers closely followed, but when they rushed out, they could no longer see Zhang Dazui.
