AD 1042

Chapter 21 Alien Soldier 1

On the surface, Luzhou Prefecture is calm, but in fact, it is an undercurrent. Since receiving three fast-horse calls for help from Chen Zhixian County, the magistrate Li Chuhou decided to send a thousand elite soldiers first and go to Longshu Mountain by land and water. The cavalry and the foot soldiers each brought their own dry food for three days.

The detective who leads the way into the mountain has also been selected. One is the new head of Shu County, that is, Guan Fei, the catcher, and the other is the pro-military detective of Luzhou Prefecture.

The army left the station on the outskirts of the city at night and went all the way south along the official road to take Donglongshu; the other way out of the east city ten miles outside the east city along the Feishui Road Chaohu Lake and then turned southwest into Longshu water, straight to Xilongshu.

This time, Li Chuhou, the magistrate, was determined to suppress the bandits. On weekdays, the officers and soldiers in the city mobilized and performed with great fanfare, shouting the slogans of suppressing bandits, defending the countryside, and eliminating violence and peace, creating a tense and awe-inspiring atmosphere, and also attracted the attention of some people. His move was one by one. It has been tightening the nerves of some people all the time. After doing the play for a whole month, the army is still late, which not only makes some people feel a little relieved.

Zhou Mengde was one of them and was relieved.

More than a month ago, Zhou Mengde only got the wind that Luzhou Prefecture was going to send troops. At that time, he thought about hiding for a while. Later, he saw that the matter was big. In order to make a precaution, he asked someone to tie up 'Zhao Ze'. When Zhao Ze went up the mountain and forced others to make something flying, the money was spent like running water. The savings of the cottage are almost exhausted. Now I really regret Zhou Meng when I think of it.

Regret that if it had been according to the idea of Xiao Mantian, the owner of the second village, everyone broke up and went down the mountain with gold and silver. Maybe, maybe it doesn't have to be like this today, but look at the glider and the hot air balloon that Zhao Ze helped to build. It looks decent. Not only that, Zhao Ze also helped him plan. He set up a school in Liangshan Shui Po and created a worship of the Queen Mother. Although it is a little strange, it is not only related to Taoism, but also inextricably related to Buddhism. Even if he doesn't think so, Zhao Ze said it well. Instead of doing some bloodthirsty business, he is complained. I don't want to say, it's better to change your face and get on the right path.

After reading a number of suggestions drafted by Zhao Ze on Shuiboliang Mountain, Yuncheng County, Jeju, Jingdong Road, Zhou Mengde thought about the pros and cons all night, and weighed his current situation. If he is caught by the government, he will definitely die. If he doesn't want to die, he will either escape or live under a mermaid life. .

After a painful choice, Zhou Meng made up his mind not only to escape, but also had to hide his name and change his name. First of all, let's not mention whether the matter of going to Liangshan to fall into the grass can be achieved, let's go there to see the territory. If it can be done, it's naturally good. If it can't be done, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter.

The next day, Zhou Meng had to circulate the proposal drafted by Zhao Ze to the owner of Erzhai and the owner of Sanzhai again. When they finished complaining and promised to go with them, they collected the proposal and took it with him. After that, he discussed with Zhao Ze about the date of the hot air balloon test flight, and the time was set in the morning after tomorrow.

Time flies...

Since Zhao Ze went up the mountain, Xu Jin has left the sea of suffering and moved with Zhao Ze. The two were facing each other day and night, from speechless to speechless, from unfamiliar to very familiar, from strangers to difficult brothers and brothers. As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jin felt interesting. Even when he was sleeping, he wanted to wait to go home. He must ask Zhao Ze to be his master, so that the Hummer can be seen every day. The relationship between the master and apprentice was getting closer and closer, so he told the master that he wanted to buy the Hummer, 'Hmm...' Xu Jin couldn't help but be proud. He looked at Zhao Ze, who had just come back from outside, and thought that they could go home after the hot air balloon test tomorrow.

"Isn't time passing too fast?" Zhao Ze sat at the wooden table and looked out of the window at the dark night sky.

Originally, I thought that the ancients were not today' people. Even if he told them how to make airplanes and cannons, he couldn't make it out, but he was wrong. These mountain thief friends are not stupid. Gliders have learned to build their own appearance, and the hot air balloons didn't have to intervene too much. Although it looks ridiculous in appearance, a huge Under the boat-shaped airbag is a large bamboo basket like a water tank, half leaning on the cliff like a launcher, supplemented by a two-storey dock bracket. Today, I just lit the fire and felt that there was no air leakage. I waited until tomorrow afternoon to fly to the sky. It seems that the original plan to delay for a few more time was ruined.

Yes, as soon as you fly to the sky, it would be nice if you can fly. If you can't fly, how can you tell this lie that your skills are not as good as your ancestors, or that you don't have enough things on the cottage to make a decent hot air balloon? Zhao Ze thought about how to deal with that kind of scene in case.

But after thinking for a long time, judging from the scorching eyes of the three village owners at the ignition scene today, they bet all the treasure on the hot air balloon. If an accident happens at this critical moment, I think even if Zhou Meng can let go of himself, the Xiao Mantian and Cai Fu, the thoughtful couple, they will not spare themselves. Self, that...

Zhao Ze didn't want the worst kind of situation, but he couldn't help thinking about it. As soon as his thoughts touched the forbidden area, his head suddenly hurt. This kind of pain was so painful that he had to drink to relieve his worries and suppress his worries.

Xu Jin was lying on a fake sleep. He also wanted to have a good rest for a night and wait for him to leave home tomorrow. He never thought that Zhao Ze didn't hold the wine jar in his arms. He fell to the ground and fell into several pieces, which scared Xu Jin to wake up from his dream.

He got up, pulled on his shoes, put on a long shirt, and came to Zhao Ze to sit down. Seeing Zhao Ze's blush and smile on his face, he thought he was so happy that he couldn't sleep. Xu Jin suddenly asked for a jar of wine from the mountain thief who was in charge of the room next door. He drank a cup with Zhao Ze. Even if there was no wine, he drank it with clouds and fog.

A jar of soju was drunk, and there was not even a drop left, and there was no wine and vegetables. Xu Jin, the little child, had already collapsed on the ground. Zhao Ze was also drunk and hazy, with light head and light feet. As soon as he stood up, he stammered and fell on the table and closed his eyes drowsily.

The night was originally a dark night. There was no wind in the air, and no one would have a bonfire party to celebrate tomorrow's collective escape. After nightfall, the lights were turned off and quiet. Only the guards guarding the gate could light the torch and drink some soaking wine to keep warm up.

The night is getting darker and thicker, and Longshu Mountain is also asleep, which is surprisingly quiet.

A bright fireball crossed the sky, and the fireball dragged its hot tail and fell into the hill on the side of the gate. The light flashed away, and then only a loud bang was heard. A flame rising to the sky rose under the col, and the fallen leaves in the flames turned over and the branches burst.

The soaring flame caused a gust of empty wind, echoing in the valley, making a roar and hissing sound, which was scary at first glance.

The flames burned more and more fiercely. Large areas of forests in the valley were on fire. The original silence could no longer withstand the burning of the flames. The birds and beasts perched in the forest finally broke the silence, and the horror of the mountain fire magnified the screams of birds and beasts a hundred times. In an instant, the fire of the rich valley rushed to the sky and lit up the night, and the crackling sound resounded through the sky.

When the first fireball appeared in the sky, the guards of the cottage had noticed.

The fireball passed by, and the guards were glad that the fireball was thrown in the wrong place. They were standing on the hill and looking at the fire towards the valley. Unexpectedly, the second and third fireballs suddenly fell from the sky and fell in the cottage.

The gate of the village caught fire, the house near the campus was also on, and the hot air balloon on the edge of the cliff was also hit by a big fireball, and the fire suddenly became fierce.

Seeing that the guards finally woke up, they sounded the gongs, blew the horns, and played the cowhide drum in a panic.

It was attacked by a fireball of unknown origin, and the cottage was suddenly in chaos. When Zhou Meng got up, he was still asking who was on guard at the foot of the mountain tonight. Why didn't the warning be issued earlier? However, it's too late to say anything now. When there was a fire in the cottage, the soldiers lurking in the nearby mountains began to forcibly attack the gate. When Zhou Meng went out, the fire had already collapsed half of the mountain gate. The officers and soldiers rushed up. If it hadn't been for the second village owner and the third village owner who rushed to the gate earlier to stop it, the officers and soldiers would have killed the back mountain. .

The fire in the front mountain rushed to the sky, and the sound of killing was loud. More than half of the people and horses in the cottage rushed to the mountain gate to grab the size of the land. For the territory between the sizes, the people and horses on the cottage that followed came to fight with their lives, and rushed to the officers and soldiers who had just crossed the first line of defense of the village gate fiercely. And those officers and soldiers also waved the knives and guns in their hands and hit them head-on.

In front of the mountain gate, the two waves of people and horses running wildly were like two terrible waves, bumping into each other with a bang. In this fierce impact, the sound of knives and guns breaking the body was endless, and dozens of lives died. However, this was nothing in the fight of thousands of horses and thousands of troops. Their successors still stepped on the bodies of their companions and fought bravely. Move forward until the last drop of blood in the body.

The melee is still going on. Both sides are doing their best to control the half-collapsed mountain gate. Xiao Mantian and his wife Cai Fu are red-eyed with their backs. There is blood everywhere on their faces, hands and bodies. I don't know whether it's their own or those souls under the knife. In short, in this extremely chaotic battlefield, the people around them are no different. Most of them are like this. All they can do now is move forward step by step and fight forward with a knife and a shot. Either you die or I will live.

Xiao Mantian's three-pointed steel fork was stained with blood and hung on someone's intestines. His wife Cai Fu's single knife also cut the blade. Every time he met a knife, a spark would rise. The two officers and soldiers who were close to each other were scared.

Despite this, the box army at the foot of the mountain was still rushing into the mountain gate, followed by many crossbow archers. After these crossbowmen wearing cowhide armor appeared on the stage, they found the right opportunity to shoot. The people around Xiao Mantian and Cai Fu immediately died and injured a large area, and their desperate momentum suddenly withered under this blow. Originally, there were The mountain gate that may have been recaptured is getting farther and farther away from them. Less than a hundred of the remaining people were chased and killed by the follow-up gunmen and forced to retreat to the back mountain.
