C18 Surprise Bandit Head

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Not long after the sun rose, Xu Chu arrived with one thousand and five hundred men of the Xu Family Manor. Yang Lin personally came out to greet them, arranging for the brave villagers of the Xu Family Villa to rest in the nearby valley, waiting for Chen Ze's arrival.

Soon after, the brave men from the Li family Manor also came. However, Eldest Uncle Li Shuang didn't come, but rather asked his sons Li Liang and Li Qing to bring him here. Li Liang and Li Qing were over eight feet tall. They had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their faces were fair and clean. Their bodies were abnormally sturdy. The two brothers walked together like two stone blocks.

Not long later, the Wang Family Manor's village braves followed. As promised, Wang Da didn't come, but 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 they were thinner and more handsome than them, like two young masters.

Whether it was Li Liang, Li Qing, Wang Gang, or Wang Po, Yang Lin had all seen them a few days ago. This time when they brought the group here, Yang Lin seriously sized them up and left an impression on them.

After all the village men were arranged, it was already past noon when Chen Ze arrived late with more than 150 County Army Generals. After all, these commanderies were a well-trained, regular army. The military was well-disciplined, and the military was neat and tidy. A great flag, which belonged to an official army of the Realm of Flame Heaven, was fluttering 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 greet Zhang Liang, clasped his hands, and gave him a look. This Zhang Liang was eight feet tall, and his build was huge. He had a square face and 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 several large carts covered with bundles of war horse grass. Opening this grass was the weapon and equipment that Yang Lin wanted the most. Looking at his shiny armor and his bright saber and spear, Yang Lin excitedly laughed.

"Master Yang, I've brought you the best weapon in the warehouse."

Chen Ze grinned as he spoke, leading Yang Lin, Xu Chu, Li Liang, and Wang Gang to inspect the weapons and equipment. Yang Lin picked up his sabre and spear and lovingly watched from the sidelines. These weapons and equipment were indeed top-grade military equipment, and they were all made of fine steel. Compared to the large sabers and long spears that hunters use, they were many times better.

However, Yang Lin still felt some regret 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, these long spears were only used by pike soldiers. The pikes were very long and were especially suitable for assassinations.

As for those large sabers, they were meant for sabers and shield-bearers. The sabers were around four feet long, and the sabers were about a 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 hunters' knives were wide and thick, weighing more than twenty pounds. This type of large sabre was suitable for infantry use. To cavalry, it was a little too heavy.

"It is indeed a good weapon. Sir Chen, you've troubled yourself."

No matter what, this is still a high-quality weapon. Moreover, Chen Ze did his best, so Yang Lin smiled in satisfaction. 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's the purpose of the ropes you're hanging on the sides of the horses?"

"Hehe, this is what you use when riding a horse. It's convenient to ride a horse this way, you don't need to put your legs on the horse's belly, you can even shoot arrows on the horse and fight to the death. "

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

Chen Ze suddenly discovered Yang Lin's secret. Yang Lin smiled and straightforwardly told him. There was no time now. When he had time, he would make stirrups. He arranged for the servants to put away the weapons, and then he invited the leaders of the various teams to the main hall to discuss the matter of exterminating the big mouth.

Yang Lin waved his hand and chased all the servants out, then ordered He Yi, He Man, Liu Ping, and Gong Du to stand guard around the hall and not let anyone near. Right now, he was not sure if there were any other insider's secrets behind the big mouth, 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 his confession, Zhang Dazhi had sent his men to use dice gambling to make the servant of the Yang family compound owe him a large amount of gambling debts, forcing him to leak information for Zhang Dazhi, which had been hidden for five years. With his mouth wide open, he had been looking for an opportunity to take down the Yang Family compound in one fell swoop. "This time, he's the one who leaked the news about the attack on the Yang Family compound."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled expressions, Yang Lin explained to them. Of course, that Yang Ping didn't die. He was escorted back by Yang Lei and then all of them confessed. In the past five years, he had reported this information to his mouth three times, but his mouth did not open without thinking. He had been waiting for the best opportunity. Originally, this opportunity could not be any better, but it was destroyed by Yang Lei's family and his fellow villagers.

"I've been interrogating the bandits and captives these past few days and learned that Dark Dragon Mountain isn't easy to deal with with with with with its mouth open wide. "Zhang Dazhi had set up many eyes and ears in the nearby mountains. Once our village and army set out, he would definitely hide himself. We might not even see them face to face.

"Those bandits usually live in the Dark Dragon's Cave. The Dark Dragon's Cave is accessible from all directions. If we attack, they might disappear without a trace. If we don't catch Chang, we'll eliminate the rest of the bandits, and he'll still be able to build up another group within the known time. "

"So, I think our priority this time is to catch Zhang Dazhi and then eliminate the rest of the bandits. "Now, I have obtained an important piece of information. I have a lover with a big mouth, who gave birth to a son for him. He often visits her, so we will start with this lover and capture him."

"In order to not alarm Big Mouth, I decided to bring a few people in disguise to go to Dark Dragon Mountain and capture him. A large group of people then went on to exterminate the other bandits. What do you think? "

"Good idea."

He didn't expect Chen Ze to be the first to approve. After all, Chen Ze was a soldier general and had more battle experience than the others. Of course, he understood the principle of capturing the thief first. As the commander in chief of this bandit group, he would rather be caught with his mouth wide open. Only then would he be able to annihilate the bandits of Dark Dragon 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.

The Cloud Gazing Platform sounded very poetic. It was unknown which scholar named it, but there was nothing special about it. 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 north side of the village, close to the mountain path, was the village's only brick house. Among the rows and rows of broken straw houses, this was especially conspicuous. This was the home of the little deity, Narcissus. Of course, this was all thanks to the big mouth. Without the big mouth, the little Narcissus wouldn't be able to make a brick house.

Little Narcissus' husband turned out to be a bandit as well. After being killed in a robbery, Little Narcissus and Big Mouth started to interact. There were also people who said in private that it was Big Mouth and Little Narcissus who had fallen in love, causing the death of the little Narcissus's husband. Only his mouth would know what was going on.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Yang Lin and the others sneaked onto the mountain peak to the north of the Cloud Gazing Platform, carefully observing that conspicuous brick house. However, there was no sound coming from that brick house. It seemed like Yang Lin could only patiently wait as he opened his mouth wide and waited for the little water fairy to arrive.

"Master Yang, ambushing people is really not something people can do. I can't stand sleeping on a stone slab, gnawing on dry rations, and drinking spring water all day long."

It wasn't an easy task for them to hide in the mountains. If they were tired, they would sleep in the cave. If they were hungry, they could only eat some rations and drink a few mouthfuls of spring water. For Xu Chu and Chen Ze, who came from a noble family, this was indeed a bit hard to bear.

"Haha, bear with it. This is for you." When we catch you with a big mouth, you will have done a great deed. You might even be able to become a county lieutenant. "

Chen Ze took the initiative to ask for it. He and Zhang Liang brought two capable generals. He was also eager to gain merits. He wanted to catch Zhang Dazhi with his own hands and obtain great merits from the bandits before risking his own life to take the risk. But Xu Chu liked to take risks, he really did not put his mouth wide open.

"Don't worry, that old brat will definitely come. Didn't you see how pretty the little water fairy was?" How could I not want to open my mouth? "

"Heh heh, even if I were to take that big mouth of yours, it wouldn't last for more than three days."

Yang Lin didn't expect that even after lurking for two days, his mouth still didn't open. According to Li Quan, the reason why he opened his mouth wide and went to his home was because of his interest, so it was hard for outsiders, even if they were his trusted aides, to find out where he stayed the night.

"Pu!"

Just as Yang Lin was chatting with Chen Ze and Xu Chu, an arrow flew up to the mountain peak and nailed onto a large tree beside Yang Lin. Yang Lin and the others jumped in shock. Yang Lin took a closer look and saw that the arrow had pierced deep into the tree trunk, but the shaft was still beating.

"There's a letter."

Yang Lin was wondering, who could shoot an 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 pulled out the arrow. There was a piece of cloth tightly wrapped around the arrow shaft. It was a letter.

"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."

The moment Yang Lin brought it up, Chen Ze immediately agreed. The others hurried to lead the horses and clear up the traces of their activities on the hill. Hunters were the most adept at this. Yang Hu and Yang Bao were the last to go down the mountain. There wasn't a single trace of humans left on the mountain.

"Your mouth is open."

At almost midnight, 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!"

There was a long knock on the door three times, and suddenly the brick door of the house opened with an unpleasant sound. A shadow slipped in, and the door closed again. More than twenty bandits stayed outside the gate. They jumped off their horses and split into groups, forming a tight circle around the small courtyard.

"Brothers, there are a total of twenty-six bandits. We need to deal with two of them each, and one of them will be left to deal with the big mouth."

"Zhang Liang and I will deal with Zhang Dagou while you deal with the other bandits."

The moment Yang Lin finished speaking, Chen Ze brought up the idea of letting him deal with this big mouth of his. Yang Lin smiled. Knowing that he was trying to gain merits by doing this, he nodded his head and agreed. Although he didn't know how good Chen Ze and Zhang Liang's martial arts were, with their bodies, they should be able to deal with Zhang Da's mouth.

"I'll sneak over."

The Cloud Gazing Platform, which was in the dead of the night, 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 shadows jumped out from the darkness, like ghosts from hell. The messy footsteps quickly rushed towards the brick building, the dazzling blade light was exceptionally bright under the moonlight.

"Wind is rising …"

The bandits on the lookout were also experienced in the battlefield, they quickly reacted and signaled Zhang Dagao first. However, before they could even call out a second time, Xu Chu, who had been rushing ahead of them, had already arrived. He swung his sword horizontally, and the bandit was completely silent.

"Clang …"

The other bandit reacted quickly enough as he shouted the signal and lunged at Xu Chu with his sword. Xu Chu laughed coldly as he chopped at his broadsword. The two blades clashed and a crisp sound rang out, causing the bandit's body to go numb. Before he could recover his senses, Xu Chu flicked his wrist and the large blade came slashing over. The bandit only saw a flash of cold light and his head was sent flying. However, his body fell to the ground.

Yang Lin took a few steps forward and pounced on the two bandits. Just as the two bandits drew out their sabers, they slashed towards Yang Lin. Yang Lin raised his broadsword, and it immediately emitted an explosive sound. Yang Lin raised his leg and kicked over a bandit. He stabbed forward, and the bandit who wasn't kicked was immediately pierced by the broadsword. The tip of the blade pierced through his back.

"Whoosh."

Yang Lin couldn't dodge in time, he was sprayed all over his face, he couldn't care less and forcefully pulled out his sabre. The bandit's corpse rolled around in the air and violently fell onto the ground, no longer moving.

"Ah …"

Just as the fallen bandit was about to stand up, Yang Lin stepped forward, raised his broadsword with both of his hands and swung it towards the bandit's neck. He had to admit that the broadsword Chen Ze brought with him was indeed fast, to the point where Yang Lin felt it was as easy as slicing a watermelon, but the bandit's head was already rolling on the ground.

"Die!"

There was only a shout, and it turned out to be He Man welcoming the three bandits. He held two sabers in both hands like two toys. The heads of the two bandits disappeared, and the remaining bandit saw that the situation was bad and ran away. But Herman chased after him, and with one saber, he actually split the bandit into two.

"Dong Dong Dong …"

Herman, who didn't want to finish his words, held his two big sabers and rushed towards the two bandits. He was tall, with long legs, and he ran in big steps. The two bandits had just climbed onto the horses, and before they could run, Herman had already chopped them down. The poor bandit didn't even have time to scream before he had cut them in half. What was even weirder was that the bandit's eyes were still glaring at Herman, but his body slowly slid to the ground.

"Mother …"

The other bandit cried out in alarm and galloped off, but in his panic, he did not untie the reins of his horse. Homan sneered a few times, like a ghost in the dark night, scaring the bandit off his horse. Who knew that Herman's broadsword was waiting there, when he jumped down, his head and body were already separated.

"BOOM!"

While the others were fighting with the bandits, Chen Ze brought Zhang Liang and his men to the entrance of the yard. He suddenly raised his left foot and kicked towards the entrance. There was a loud sound and the gate flew up. Chen Ze and his four lackeys charged in.

When the first bandit shouted, his mouth opened wide as he dove into the little water fairy's belly and galloped wildly. It was a time of ecstasy, when he suddenly shriveled up and the strong wind was no longer around. He jumped up from the little water fairy's body and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"Kill …"

Just as he opened the door of the little water fairy with his mouth wide open, Chen Ze roared and jumped up, swinging his blade and chopping down. At the same time as he opened the door, the saber had already struck out, hacking towards Chen Ze. The two blades collided, causing sparks to fly everywhere, and the sounds of explosions were ear-piercing.

"Kill …"

Zhang Liang and the other military officers that followed behind Chen Ze let out a low growl before attacking from all directions with their mouths wide open. "Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!" The sound of four steel blades slashing against each other reverberated through the air. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ze inserted himself from the middle and slashed down with all his strength, leaving no room for retreat.

His mouth was wide open. Although he had not learned any martial arts nor knew any sabresmanship, his dozens of miles of training on the battlefield had allowed him to train in all of his abilities, especially his ability to escape. Seeing that he wasn't his match, he rolled on the ground and then jumped like a fish out of the Little Water Immortal's courtyard wall.

"Chase!"

Chen Ze was enraged. The six of them couldn't deal with a big mouth, wouldn't it make people laugh if word of this got out? He took a few steps forward and jumped over the wall as well. The other high-ranking officers followed closely behind, but when they rushed outside, they could no longer see anyone with their mouths wide open.
