The mountain gate opened, and a lean man trotted out from the closed gate.

He took two steps with three feet together, rolled and crawled to the front of the headmaster, and said repeatedly.

"Master, you are too young to see clearly. Master, please forgive me. Master, please come here."

With that said, he took the horse rope from Wang Zhi's hand and walked towards the mountain gate.

Tong Zhan, who was sitting on the horse, nodded expressionlessly, exuding a fierce aura, which frightened the lean man.

As he walked, he looked back at Wang Erdao beside him.

"Zhao Si, what are you looking at? I haven't seen my brother who came back to the mountain."

Zhao Si chuckled, "Haha, that's not true, but why are there so few brothers returning to the mountain this time? And where did Hou San go? The person next to the big boss is Su Caizi?"

"Zhao Si, you have some insight. What you said is right. This is Su Caizi. It's a pity that in order to invite this Su Caizi, a lot of brothers were lost. The three monkey brothers were lost there."

"Many brothers were also injured. Those brothers are behind, escorting the untouchables."

"Oh, that's it. Alas, it's a pity that the three monkey brothers are here." Zhao Si felt a little emotional.

At this time, Tong Zhan, who was sitting on the horse, snorted coldly, which frightened Wang Er into silence immediately.

Tong Zhan said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and go back to the mountain quickly."

Zhao Si nodded, and the next moment he pulled Wang Er and whispered, "Brother Wang, it seems that you have become a popular person in front of the master. When you return to the mountain in the future, you must support me."

Wang Er smiled and nodded, handed the horse rope to others, and put his arm around Zhao Si's shoulders. The pace of the two of them speeded up unconsciously.

Just when Wang Er and Zhao Si stepped into the mountain gate, Zhao Si suddenly seemed to think of something and turned his head and asked.

"Hey, Brother Wang, that's not right. Do we need so many brothers to escort those untouchables?"

Zhao Si asked casually, and Wang Er's expression immediately changed. He suddenly pulled out the short knife from his back and thrust it directly into Zhao Si's chest.

At first glance, Wang Er showed that he had no experience in killing people. As soon as he drew his sword, the experienced Zhao Si felt the danger.

Zhao Si's shoulders shook and he knocked Wang Er away. At this time, Zhao Si also understood.

His body flashed a few times, and he instantly opened the distance between Wang Er and shouted loudly.

"Wang Er, you traitor, brothers sounded the alarm and fell into a trap..."

Before Zhao Si could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped the next moment.

An arrow was shot out from nowhere and sealed his throat.

Zhao Si's eyes were wide open and solemn. He covered his injured throat with his palms and tried to struggle, but he didn't struggle for a while and fell to the ground and died.

Su Qi'an shouted, "Wang Er, don't be stunned, hurry up and lead the way, hurry up!"

The next moment, Su Qi'an took the lead, carrying Wang Er, and rushed straight to the mountain gate.

Tong Zhan behind him also reacted very quickly, kicking his horse with both legs, and the bandit-like soldiers behind him did not cover up, drew their swords, and followed Tong Zhan to directly attack Dongzi Mountain.

Wang Er's mistake was indeed beyond Su Qian's expectation. He also underestimated the ferocity of the Dongzishan bandits.

Although there was an accident, the rescue was still in time. He took the lead and quickly rushed to the various guard posts in Dongzi Mountain according to his impression.

Drawing an arrow and setting up a bow, every time he reached a guard post, he fired several arrows in unison. The bandits at the guard post did not even react and were killed on the spot.

It's not that these bandits are useless, it's that Su Qi'an showed his most powerful side.

Every arrow is extremely tricky regardless of distance or angle. If Xie Cang were present, he would definitely not applaud loudly.

The archery skills Su Qi'an displayed now were so incredible that even the so-called marksman might not be sure to defeat him.

Tong Zhan and other advance teams behind him were also very fast, following Su Qi'an's pace. Tong Zhan had no time to be shocked by Su Qi'an's superb archery skills.

The elite soldiers behind him began to eliminate the other guard post bandits as quickly as possible.

Although the speed of both sides was very fast, the rear, Xie Cang, Fang Jingzhi and others also followed quickly.

But if Dongzishan can become the most troublesome bandit in the two counties, how could it be possible without two brushes?

Sure enough, just as Su Qian was clearing the guard post at the fastest speed, suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out.

Su Qi'an and the others knew what it meant when the sounding arrow was shot.

I was thinking of making a surprise attack, but it was no longer possible, so I could only attack in one go.

After a while, behind them, Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi arrived with large troops.

The area around the silent mountain top immediately became agitated, and countless bandits began to set up defenses to counterattack.

Su Qi'an and the others had already rushed to the mountainside, only a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.

Everyone in the round did not continue to attack, but waited for Su Qi'an's order.

Su Qi'an glanced ahead and said, "Xiehou, Master Fang, everything will proceed according to our plan."

The two nodded, and the next moment, the soldiers who gathered were divided into three teams and marched towards the top of the mountain. At the same time, behind them, five heavy ballistas were carried up.

In order to deal with these bandits, Xie Cang brought some good guys with him this time.

These five heavy ballistas were all made of iron. In terms of weight alone, they were two or three times heavier than the one made by Su Qi, weighing at least four to five hundred kilograms.

The weight has increased, and the range and power have also doubled. Logically speaking, it would be difficult for such a big guy to keep up with Su Qian's pace.

But Su Qian came up with an improvement plan, and opened a black powder-filled device at the bearing position of the heavy ballistae, using the power of the black powder to push the heavy ballistae forward.

We arrived in time. Although this method will damage the heavy ballista, we can't worry about the situation at hand. Let's get it done first.

Five heavy ballistas were mounted together, and under Xie Cang's order, more than twenty thick arrows were fired.

The force was so great that it was shot directly to the top of the mountain, and wailing sounds were heard. Then, the bodies of several bandits were seen falling from the top of the mountain.

The power of the heavy ballistae is self-evident.

It instantly caused a commotion among the bandits. With the help of the heavy ballistae, the three teams of soldiers almost rushed to the top of the mountain smoothly.

Only fifty meters away from the top of the mountain, he was beaten back.

Xie Cang glanced around, his eyes filled with solemnity, because at the top of the mountain, two huge iron gates suddenly appeared.

The iron gate closed, directly blocking the only entrance and exit in front of the top of the mountain.

The iron door is thick, and not only that, there are several small windows on the surface of the iron door. These small windows are not big, but they can pass arrows, and the halberd is more than enough.

Although the heavy ballistae is powerful, it will not cause much damage if it falls on the thick iron door.

"A small Dongzi Mountain actually has such equipment. I really underestimate them." Xie Cang was a little shocked.

In Great Liang, the most strictly controlled items are not the so-called knives, but armor, armor and the like.

After all, the sword is powerful, but the materials used to make it are less than one-tenth of armor.

Anyone who controls a large amount of iron ore will have the confidence to rebel.

Dongzi Mountain, a small place where hundreds of bandits gathered, could have such a luxurious style.

The iron materials used to make armors and armors are directly made into two iron doors that are more than 20 meters long.

This time, Xie Cang truly understood that Dongzi Mountain was not simple. Xie Cang was also very curious about the mysterious master.

The attack was thwarted and the two sides reached a stalemate for a while, but the attack continued.

The bandits on the top of the mountain resisted fiercely. Their confidence, which they had originally lost, instantly increased when they saw the power displayed by the iron gate.

Especially after half an hour, the bandits actually forced back three groups of soldiers, which immediately made them excited and everyone shouted.

"Haha, it seems that the army of Great Liang is nothing more than this. We can't even conquer a single mountain. It's really embarrassing."

"If that's all you have, retreat as soon as possible and wait for me to go down the mountain to kill you, hahaha."

"..."

Unbridled taunts resounded all over the place. The feeling was like a slap in the face, making Fang Jingzhi unable to sit still.

But looking at Su Qi'an beside him, his face was calm, and Fang Jingzhi couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, Su Qi'an's voice sounded, "Master Fang, how much longer do you think these bandits can keep shouting?"

Su Qi'an's question stunned Fang Jingzhi. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a stalemate at the moment.

They were unable to attack the top of the mountain, and the bandits on the top of the mountain could only defend in this way.

Although the soldiers were strong, they did not bring much rations this time and could not fight a protracted war at all. Moreover, the battle they discussed this time was to win a quick victory.

Once it is delayed, it will be very disadvantageous for them. According to the art of war, one can make great efforts, then weaken again, and three times will be exhausted.

This kind of attack without progress will sooner or later exhaust their morale, and they will have to retreat if they don't retreat.

But Su Qi'an asked this question at this time, as if the balance of victory was always on their side.

Taking Dongzi Mountain was just a matter of time, but at the moment, Fang Jingzhi smiled bitterly, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply to Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an turned his head, looked at Xie Cang, and chuckled. "May I ask Lord Marquis, if you are like Mr. Fang and don't believe that we will win?"

Xie Cang's face was solemn, but he had seen some big scenes, and in terms of emotions, he was much better than Fang Jingzhi.

Xie Cang said softly, "If Mr. Su were not here, maybe I would have the same thoughts as Mr. Fang, but seeing that Mr. Su is so confident, I would feel at ease."

"Okay, Mr. Su, stop being so secretive and tell Mr. Fang your trump card."

"Huh? Mr. Su still has a hidden card?" Fang Jingzhi turned his head, showing an expression of surprise and a little hope.

Su Qi'an chuckled, looked at the top of the mountain in front of him, and said softly, "Sir, didn't you notice that there are fewer people accompanying us on this expedition?"

"Mr. Su, are you talking about the hunters carrying special tools?"

Su Qian nodded.

"Mr. Su, it's not that I don't trust them, but this is dealing with bandits. They are just hunters. This..."
