A noble son from a poor family

After these people passed, another group of people came out of it, but these people came out of the fight, and what made Chu Yunhao stunned was that none of these fighting people were Xiang Yong, and they looked like bandits were killing each other.

However, looking at it, Chu Yunhao still saw some clues, among the people who were fighting, one of them was obviously protecting the villagers. They fought and retreated, and from time to time they protected the villagers who escaped around them, covering their escape.

Now that he can distinguish between good guys and bad guys, Chu Yunhao no longer hesitated, and immediately got up, found a vantage point, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot at those who were obviously bandits.

Chu Yunhao came out to help, Senior Brother Tie took the personal guards, Du Erniang and Zhao Mingyue each joined the battle with their own women's army, and the battle situation immediately fell to one side, Du Erniang and Zhao Mingyue brought people, don't look at all women, but the combat power is not bad, the personal force value is much higher than those Xiangyong, like this, each looking for someone as an opponent, let go of the big melee, that is more powerful than the Xiangyong. However, on the battlefield, the two armies are mainly fighting for the military formation, if they fight separately and disorderly against the military formation of the Shangxiang braves, I am afraid that they will not be able to please them. With the addition of this group of women's army, soon, whether it was the bandits who fought just now, or the bandits who came out one after another, there was one one, about a hundred people, all of whom were confessed here.

Chu Yunhao watched from the sidelines, and also had a new understanding of these women's soldiers, Zhao Mingyue's female guards needless to say, after all, it was the foundation of the city lord's mansion, and in Chu Yunhao's township brave regiment, except for a few leaders, no one was the opponent of these female guards. But what surprised Chu Yunhao the most was Du Erniang's phoenix dancing female warriors, they seemed to have higher martial arts than the former. Chu Yunhao couldn't help but squint his eyes, in this era, women don't go to the battlefield, and there are very few women who practice martial arts, if there are, they are generally private guards cultivated by the family to protect their female dependents with prominent status, just like Zhao Mingyue. These female warriors recruited by Du Erniang are not simple, and it seems that Du Erniang is even more simple. However, there is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, everyone has their own little secrets, this, he doesn't want to delve into this, as long as he stands in the same trench with him.

Besides, Senior Brother Tie, Du Erniang, Zhao Mingyue, the personal strength of the three of them, there is no doubt that Du Erniang's kung fu is the highest, Senior Brother Tie and Zhao Mingyue, the two are between the two, as for Chu Yunhao himself, he has the confidence to beat Senior Brother Tie and Zhao Mingyue, but compared with Du Erniang, it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose. Since he came back from the county seat last time, perhaps because he saw the competition between masters, Chu Yunhao seemed to have opened his mind, and his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and now, he is much more powerful than his previous self.

As soon as the battle stopped, the bandits who were protecting the villagers hurriedly thanked Chu Yunhao and them, and Chu Yunhao asked the reason, only to know that many of them were the hunters who had fallen into the grass before. Tianzhu Mountain is here first, they usually do not harm the surrounding villagers except for borrowing food from rich households, but a group of people came to the mountain fire and occupied this place. There were originally about fifty of them, but one or twenty were killed in that fire, and the rest had to surrender for the sake of their families.

Listening to these hunters, the leader of this group of people, what is the name of the mountain carving letter, the martial arts are extremely high, everyone is not his opponent, and it is this person who gathers the bandits in a radius of a hundred miles. However, they did not get together to rob their homes, but mainly to kidnap people to mine, and these people who fled just now were all workers who had been taken captive to mine iron ore, and some of them were their family members.

At first, the hunters thought that it was good not to rob houses, but they did not want to be captives to be coolies, and these coolies were kept to do things every day, whipped with leather whips, and lived a miserable life, and now they are tired to death. They couldn't see it, so they contacted some other heroes who didn't want to go along with it, and plotted to prepare to save people. I didn't think that the cottage was attacked today as an opportunity, so when the battle was fighting, they took advantage of the chaos to sneak in, killed some guards, and rescued most of the villagers. It's just that there were originally fifty or sixty of them, but after some fighting just now, now there are only thirty or forty people.

Chu Yunhao looked at these wounded heroes one by one, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he hurriedly asked Senior Brother Tie to take out the gold sore medicine to bandage them. After a simple bandage, these people thanked them and wanted to leave, Chu Yunhao was afraid that they would fall into the grass again, so he asked them if they were willing to join his own township brave group. These people were quite moved, but they were not very enthusiastic, and no one agreed for a while. Chu Yunhao smiled slightly, and told them that if they wanted, they could bring their family members with them, and the family members could work in his textile workshop, and they would also have a monthly salary of one or two silver per month. Hearing Chu Yunhao say this, these people all had a happy face, and they hurriedly agreed. After receiving these people, Chu Yunhao was also very relieved, these were all warriors, and they were exactly the predators he needed. It's just that in the bottom of his heart, Chu Yunhao also sighed, the world is crowded, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, if you want to talk well and do things well, you still have to be rich!

At the entrance of the boulder, no one has come out, it seems that the bandits have probably been solved, but Chu Yunhao did not dare to take it lightly, and did not rush in, so he waited for the large army to come. The terrain of the cave is generally more complicated, and the cave where the mine has been mined is even more so, if there are bandits hiding in the dark part of the cave, with the bamboo tube water gun in the hands of the villagers, a fire oil will definitely make them have nothing to hide.

Chu Yunhao asked everyone to rest in place, the injuries of the women's army were fine, there were only a few lightly injured people, the heroes who had just been recruited, some of the seriously injured were lying or sitting to rest, and the few with minor injuries went over to mend the bandits one by one, this is for fear that there will be fish that have slipped through the net, it seems that they hate these bandits to death, looking at them one by one mending the knife without frowning, this murderous aura is very scary.

Soon, the large forces of the east and west peaks came down to rendezvous. Looking at everyone's arrogant appearance, needless to say, this is another big victory. However, after the casualties were reported, Chu Yunhao still frowned. None of the people of Dongfeng were killed or wounded, after all, they did not fight, but only fired a wave of cannons with trebuchets. On Xifeng's side, three were killed and more than a dozen were injured. Although everyone's weapons are already dimensionally reduced compared to the bandits, they were still killed and injured by rocks and rolling wood when attacking the walled gate. This time I went back to the village, a few white cloths, children crying for their fathers, their fathers and mothers crying for their sons, and the surviving people crying for their husbands, but they couldn't help it, but in the war, how could there be immortals Chu Yunhao sighed helplessly.

The

eldest brother held more than a hundred captives and asked Chu Yunhao how to solve these people, Chu Yunhao looked at these bandits, some were dejected, some were silent, some were frightened and afraid, and some were still unruly and very gloomy.

How to solve it, how to solve the bandits who rob homes and kill people, of course, it is a labor reform, don't they like to kidnap people to do coolies, and then put on them in handcuffs, let them also dig iron ore as coolies, since there is iron ore here, then he laughed and accepted, iron is the monopoly of the official family in this era, it can be said to be the most important strategic resource, and now good things are sent to the door by themselves, he can't do without it.

Since the large army is here, they can go into the cave to search for fish that have slipped through the net, and Chu Yunhao handed over this arduous task to Master Tie. In less than half an hour, the iron master came out with fifty or sixty fish that had slipped through the net. As soon as these people came out, a few of the big men who had been incorporated came out immediately, and without saying a word, they stabbed to death a dozen of those bandits with knives.

Seeing that Chu Yunhao didn't speak on the side, Master Tie didn't stop him, and let them stab people. However, they didn't stab people when they saw them, they still went to some people with a clear purpose, and it seems that these people are their enemies of life and death.

The bandits were all cleaned up, and Chu Yunhao also wanted to go in and have a look, so he hugged a group of people into the boulder cave, the cave was very wide, and it was okay to walk four or five people side by side, and there were oil lamps hanging on the cave walls on both sides not far away, and there was no problem with vision. After walking two or three hundred steps, he came to a wide underground space, where there were many forks in the road, some went up, some went down, when Chu Yunhao didn't know how to go, the man who led the way next to him hurriedly told him that the way down was to mine iron ore, and the way up was to the village on the top of the mountain.

The

road to the village on the top of the mountain is difficult to climb, and there are many fluorescent stones embedded in the two walls, even if there are no oil lamps on both sides, it is still visible. The road of this cave is naturally formed, zigzag up, only a few places have traces of artificial carving, so after walking for about a quarter of an hour, you will arrive at a very empty cave, the four walls of this cave actually have more than a dozen openings leading to the outside of the mountain wall, the light comes in from the opening, the cave is not very dim, looking at the rows of stone steps along the mountain wall, wooden ladders, wooden shelves, Chu Yunhao looked up to his neck to be sure, this cave is so high that it is terrifyingly more than ten or twenty zhang high.

After climbing all the steps, sitting on it to rest, condescendingly, and looking at the cave again, this fear of the emptiness of the abyss makes people feel as if they are in the mouth of a heaven-swallowing beast, and they shudder. The most surprising thing is that there are a few wall holes that shine through the sky, except for two or three that are natural, the others are artificially excavated, from the hole to dig out a square of one zhang, the wall hole that is more than ten zhang deep to the outside, this big stroke, think about it is amazing.

After resting for a while, I went up the hill along the cave wall again, and I zigzagged up again as before, and in a narrow place, I could only walk two or three people side by side. At the top of the mountain, the exit turned out to be a stone house, at the door of the stone house, a heavy stone door was knocked over inside, leaving a few corpses next to it, Uncle Ma, who led the way, knelt beside the ruler in the past, and was sad. It seems that as soon as they attacked, Uncle Ma and they retreated to the stone cave, and then blocked the door, leaving a few people to block the door, they quickly rushed to the iron mine below to save people, and when they finished saving people, the bandits also broke the stone gate and escaped, so they fought with them, and then Chu Yunhao and they joined in to help participate in the war, and there was the previous scene.

The

top of the mountain is dozens of feet empty, and there are rows of newly built wooden houses, but now these wooden houses, burned and scattered, are no longer intact, and the ground is full of bandit corpses. There was originally a rattan bridge between the top of the mountain and the west peak, and now the rattan bridge has been broken, and the stone wall hanging on the opposite side has not fallen. The eldest brother told Chu Yunhao that the bandits of Xifeng were forced to the edge of the cliff and surrendered when they saw that the vine bridge had been broken and there was no way to retreat. Chu Yunhao nodded, if he wants to take over here, he will have to build a chain bridge here in the future.

The bodies of the bandits were quickly cleared out, and after they were moved together, they were counted to be as many as 300 people. Coupled with the more than 300 people who attacked the West Peak and eliminated the more than 100 people who died at the entrance of the boulder cave, this battle was enough to eliminate more than 700 bandits, and then there were more than 100 people who surrendered to the West Peak, and more than 50 people who survived after clearing out the cave, the total number of bandits was about 900 people, which was about the same as the 1,000-strong army they claimed, and the water was not large.

However, the eighteen bandit leaders, missing the corpses of three people, this matter is a bit sad, confirmed by the surrendered bandits, in addition to the letter of the big boss, the second boss Xiaoshan, the third boss Li Si, the corpses of the other bandits are there.

Listening to what Uncle Ma said, when the attack was on, they were gathering together to plot to save people, and immediately cut the rattan bridge and retreated into the stone cave, and the three masters were all in Tianzhu Peak at the time, and they were eating a wine banquet and listening to the captured servants singing, if there were no corpses on the peak, they should have come out of the stone cave, and they couldn't hide anywhere else.

Chu Yunhao listened, thought about it, and asked people to go to the wall holes in the big cave to find clues. Sure enough, a rope was found on the protruding stone in one of the wall holes, and the rope was more than 20 zhang long, and it seemed that the three masters ran down the mountain along this rope.

ran away, Chu Yunhao didn't mind, if they dared to gather a crowd in Anqing County as bandits again, it would be a big deal to destroy it again, a group of rabble, what's the big deal.

However, this Tianzhu Peak Chu Yunhao was very interested. When Chu Yunhao asked Uncle Ma and wanted to know more about the situation of Tianzhu Peak, Uncle Ma scratched his head, but he couldn't say why, only said that the cave of Tianzhu Peak was too deep and terrifying, and there were rumors of haunting, and the villagers usually didn't dare to come in. Only after the mountain carving letter came, did he start to operate Tianzhu Peak here, built a cottage on it, and built a rattan bridge between the two peaks. In fact, they didn't know that there was an iron mine here, so they were also very puzzled about the abduction of people to mine by the mountain carving, and they didn't know how the letter was discovered.

Is it haunted, hehe, I didn't know before, but now that so many bandits have died here, this is a bit difficult to say, but in the world, evil does not prevail over good, and what is there to be afraid of.
