It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 10

"...As soon as we arrived at Toad Ridge, Hula La smashed out a team of hundreds of people. The leader was carrying a big axe and called himself the King of Toads..."

Black Rock City, the City Lord's Mansion. Huang Sanyuan rushed back to Black Rock City overnight and was describing his experience on the road vividly. Opposite him sat a man in Chinese clothes, with a round face and a bloated body.

This person is Han Huzhen, the city lord of Black Rock City. Behind him stood two maids, one in green and one in pink. Judging by his stature, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. His average height and general appearance were actually a rare pair of maids. twins.

Listening to Huang Sanyuan's words, Han Hu didn't lift his head, his eyelids were still drooping.

"Old Huang was timid in his heart, but he couldn't be afraid on his face. He pulled out his waist knife and shouted at the thief: If you want to rob our young lady, just step over my old Huang's body..."

"...I was about to fight with the thieves, and a group of people came out from behind, and the leader called himself Xu Shenji, a scholar with jade face..."

"Huh!" Han Hu said, standing beside him, a white-faced middle-aged man said, "There are so many bandits on Toad Ridge?"

"The strategist doesn't know anything, there are more than 200 people, and a group of men and horses smashed out of the slash. The leader is called Wing Chun Yewen..." Along the way, Huang Sanyuan was thinking about how to deal with it. After rolling around for a long time, he finally divided one person into three, making up the number of three hundred: "Although Lao Huang tried his best to protect the young lady, there were too many thieves. …”

"Old Huang is guilty of death, Lao Huang is guilty of death..." Huang Sanyuan fell to his knees, kowtowing like smashing garlic: "Old Huang knows that he is guilty of capital punishment, ask the city lord to join me with a hundred soldiers, kill back to Toad Ridge, rescue the young lady, and come back to the city lord to lead death... …”

Old Huang was covered in blood, and his clothes were tattered. At this moment, tears were pouring down like rain, and the soldiers who followed him back from Toad Ridge were all kneeling on the ground, their faces ashen and shivering.

"Kill." Han Huzhu raised his head and spat out a word.

"City Lord..."

The person kneeling on the ground was instantly escorted and dragged to the outside of the hall. Huang Sanyuan's face was instantly pale with fright. He had already told this huge lie, and in the end he could not escape the dead end.

"slow!"

At this time, a young man walked in from outside the hall and said to Han Hu, "Daddy, Butler Huang knows the situation of the bandit, and he can't kill it for the time being."

Following Huang Sanyuan's return, almost all of them had their heads beheaded, their heads rolled down, blood dripping, and Huang Sanyuan was so frightened that he lost his soul.

Then, he was dragged back to the hall again, only to see a young man sitting beside Han Hu. With a white face and no beard, he is in his twenties, his white clothes are spotless, and his temperament is outstanding.

This person is Han Xuanzhi, the young master of Black Rock City.

"Butler Huang, what happened on the road, can you repeat it?"

Huang Sanyuan was shocked. Could it be that there was some flaw in what he said just now? Han Xuanzhi wanted to expose himself in person. But what's the point of this, anyway, I can't escape a death.

He shivered and repeated what he just said, Han Xuanzhi nodded frequently, and there was a faint excitement in the corner of his eyes.

"Dad, now that Miss Su has fallen into the hands of the bandits, I will ask my father, Hu Fu, to lead me to go to Toad Ridge to slay the bandits and rescue Miss Su." Han Xuan's voice sounded like a stone.

"Good boy, what will happen if the woman falls into the hands of the bandit? She is either insulted or killed. If a little girl dies, she will die. Daddy will find a better one for you. What do you think? "Han Hu leaned slightly and asked carefully.

"Father!" Han Xuanzhi knelt down: "If a man can't protect his wife, how can he stand in the world, please allow me to lead the army."

"So..." Han Hu held up his wine glass: "How many soldiers do you want?"

Han Xuanzhi got up and spit out two words: "Two thousand."

puff!

Han Huzhen spit out a sip of wine that he had just drank, and several other people in the hall also opened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

"Master, do you know what the concept of 2,000 people is?" The white-faced middle-aged man asked almost tremblingly, "Young master, have you ever thought about how much food and forage for 2,000 people and horses consume, and how many convoys will be needed to transport these food and grass? , personnel arrangement, marching route... The most important thing is that there are only 300 bandits... As for what?"

"Of course I have considered these." Han Xuanzhi said calmly, "I just prefer crushing."

The white-faced middle-aged man was speechless.

"There are only 5,000 troops in Black Rock City. You are going to take half of Dad's troops. No, 2,000 will definitely not work. I will give you a maximum of 1,000 troops."

"One thousand is one thousand, although it is a bit small." Han Xuanzhi said regretfully.

"I know that the young master has the ideal of leading the army. I wonder how the young master plans to attack this time?" asked the white-faced middle-aged man.

"I've just thought about it."

"It's planned so soon, my son is really good." Han Hu said with satisfaction: "Let's talk about it..."

"I want two hundred light cavalry, two hundred archers, three hundred broadswords, one hundred heavy armored soldiers, and two hundred spearmen, so that the cavalry can attack, the archers can shoot at a distance, and the heavy armor can block them. The thieves charge, the spearmen kill the heavy armored soldiers, and the swordsmen kill the remnants." Han Xuanzhi said eloquently: "The Toad Mountain is one hundred and fifty kilometers away from here, and it will take about a day to make a long-distance attack. Can catch all the thieves in one go."

Han Hu slapped the case and said, "As expected of my son, since you have the dream of leading the army, let's try it this time."

Huang Sanyuan had been frightened for a long time. He always heard that the young city master had been practicing the art of war since he was a child, and he was the most intelligent ancient famous general who jumped horses and whipped the whip. After listening to his words, Huang Sanyuan always had a kind of "you said it well" It makes sense, I don't know how to refute it, but I always feel that something is wrong."

And... Huang Sanyuan suddenly jolted, there are only two thieves, if the son is in high spirits and kills Toad Ridge... Huang Sanyuan is covered in white sweat, thinking that maybe being beheaded is a good way to die.

"Huang Sanyuan, you follow the son to suppress the bandits, and you will pay off the crime."

"Yes, City Lord Xie is very kind, City Lord Xie..."

Han Xuanzhi walked away with the tiger talisman in high spirits. Looking at the spirit on his face, he was afraid that he would stay up all night to arrange this marching plan.

In the hall, Han Hu stood facing the white-faced middle-aged man: "Master Xue, what do you think of Xuanzhi's plan?"

The white-faced middle-aged man was named Xue Banchuan, and he shook his head helplessly: "In the mountains and forests, the role of cavalry is difficult to play. If you have to make a long-distance attack, why bring heavy armor? Besides, bandits and bandits often defend against danger, and the attack is ineffective for them. , The Young City Lord's plan is not full of loopholes, but... However, these City Lords must have seen it, but why did the Young City Lord still act rashly?"
