Zhang Bingzhong took the initiative and despite his subordinates' opposition, he suppressed all the bandits.

More than 13,000 bandits rushed towards the border mountains in a dark way.

In fact, except for Zhang Kewang and Li Biaofeng, his subordinates didn't understand why he did this.

There is no food or women on the mountain, why do you have to spend so much effort to hit that mountain?

They could clearly bypass this group of officers and soldiers and go directly to Lingchuan to rob, where there were too many food and women.

Even if they killed the Qin and Li Dingguo, it would be of no benefit to them. They could not earn money or grab women and food.

What's more, this mountain is not easy to fight at all. Although the Qin surnamed has few soldiers, the firearms are very fierce. Whether it is the tiger squat cannon or the bird gun, they are much more fierce than those of the Ming army. They attack quickly and farther, and are even accurate.

Their three-man team may not be able to beat them.

Unless you are not afraid of death.

But this is impossible.

Only Zhang Kewang and Li Biaofeng knew that Zhang Bingzhong was determined to take the lead of Qin Chuan and Li Dingguo.

Because Qin Chuan stole his adopted son and Li Dingguo betrayed him again, this is what Zhang Bingzhong cannot tolerate the most.

...

"Try it out."

Seeing the dense bandits rushing down the mountain, Qin Chuan said to several subordinates who were operating the catapult.

A Guandi army raised a wooden hammer and pounded a wooden buckle at the trencher. With a "click", the buckle fell off, and the vine basket filled with stones fell rapidly, causing the boom to swing upwards. A stone at the back end of the boom was thrown out, and roared over the dense bandits below the mountain and smashed into the gap in the distance.

Qin Chuan was a little ashamed: "Cough, if you put too many stones, you will put 20% less."

"yes."

Several Guandi soldiers took a ladder and moved some stones from the rattan basket of another trencher, and then tried another shot.

Controlling a catapult is a technical job. No one in the Guandi army has touched this thing before, so it is impossible to fight accurately. Fortunately, there are bandits all over the mountains and fields. As long as the range is controlled by the weight of the stone, they can basically hit people.

Qin Chuan made a total of five trenchers, and the seized one after another, a total of nine trenchers. After estimating the approximate weight of the stones, they began to project and threw stones as thick as thighs into the bandits at the foot of the mountain.

When the bandits reached 150 steps, twenty tiger squat cannons also began to fire. When they reached 100 steps, the six tiger squat cannons seized also fired one after another, and two hundred flintlock guns also fired one after another, starting to shoot indiscriminately.

After a big defeat yesterday, the bandits had long lost their desire to fight. They were harassed for another night last night. They couldn't even sleep well, and they didn't want to fight.

Under the overwhelming long-range attack, the bandits had no power to fight back. They began to collapse as soon as they reached a hundred steps. Some people ran away directly, while others were still sluggish for a long time, just not moving forward.

Zhang Bingzhong was so angry that he cut over several people who fled with a knife, and shouted from behind, forcing the bandits to rush up the mountain.

However, no matter how he threatened, the bandits still hesitated and didn't dare to rush up.

Finally, when a large shield was smashed by shells and smashed several people hiding behind the shield into blood, the scattered escape turned into a great defeat. The bandits ignored Zhang Bingzhong's knife and scolding and fled to the back.

After Zhang Bingzhong chopped over a few more people, he was finally knocked to the ground with a blind eye.

The fleeing bandits found that the Eight Kings were gone, so they ran faster.

Just as Zhang Bingzhong was about to get up, he was hit by a big foot on his back. I don’t know which one was blind, but he dared to step on his body to run away.

He was about to start swearing when he suddenly got a kick in the butt, followed by the shoulder.

He hurriedly lay down, holding his head with both hands, and did not move.

After a long time, the bandits finally finished, but Zhang Bingzhong had already been hit more than a dozen times and was stepped on and almost vomited blood. Fortunately, he was strong, otherwise he would have been trampled to death.

"Into your mother's trauma...cough..."

Zhang Bingzhong cursed angrily and raised his head with difficulty. As soon as he wanted to get up, he heard a roar of horse hooves coming from the mountain.

The Qin surnamed is killed. March Chinese

Zhang Bingzhong hurriedly fell back to the ground and pretended to be dead, not daring to move.

The cavalry passed by him, and the nearest horse was less than three feet away.

Soon, the cavalry passed by, and then there were screams. It was probably the Qin surnamed chased after him.

Zhang Bingzhong quietly raised his head and saw a group of people coming down the mountain, hundreds of whom were cleaning the battlefield.

Zhang Bingzhong hurriedly buried his head again, and secretly wiped a handful of mud on his face, closing his eyes to pretend to be dead.

Not long after, someone suddenly walked towards him and poked his butt with a sharp weapon. Zhang Bingzhong gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, leaving his butt to be poked and still motionless.

The man stopped poking, but instead used a wooden stick to tweet him, lifted his belt open, and tucked it in his arms for a long time.

"It's so neatly dressed that there's not even a piece of silver."

The man muttered and kicked him, then shouted to the side: "There is a very neatly dressed, tall and strong. It should be the old camp under Zhang Bingzhong. Who came to cut the head with that knife?"

"Here's here."

Someone answered not far away, and then the sound of horse hooves came, from far to near, and soon arrived in front of him.

Zhang Bingzhong opened his eyelids slightly, and a fierce light appeared in his narrow eyes. After seeing the visitor turn over and get off the horse, he suddenly burst out and slashed the long sword next to him, and slashed at the person closest to him.

The man couldn't react and was slashed on his neck with a knife and fell down.

Zhang Bingzhong rushed towards another person who had just dismounted.

The man was shocked and hurriedly pulled out his long knife to deal with it.

Zhang Bingzhong was like a ferocious tiger, and he slashed his opponent's long sword to the ground. Then he flirted with the momentum, and the man fell down with his neck covering his head.

Zhang Bingzhong grabbed the reins of the war horse next to him, turned over the horse, and ran towards the north where there were few people.

"Don't let him run away."

When the nearby Guandi Army saw this scene, those with mounts slapped and chased after them, while those without mounts threw out javelins.

Zhang Bingzhong was lucky enough to avoid several javelins and ran towards the ridge in the distance.

More than a dozen Guandi Army chased after him for a long time, but when they saw that they could not catch up, they had to return helplessly.

Qin Chuan led the red-clothed servants and the Tiger and Leopard Camp to chase the bandits to the point of crying and calling for their parents, capturing two or three thousand people, and also driving away many people. Perhaps only about half of the bandits fled back to the camp.

He took the prisoners back to the foot of the mountain. After hearing about the incident that had just happened, he couldn't help but curse a few words.

Zhang Bingzhong's appearance is easy to identify. He is tall, has a sallow complexion and has long and narrow eyes.

According to the Guandi Army present, it is probably Zhang Bingzhong who escaped.

What a pity, the Guandi Army went to check the body and did not take any serious measures. He just poked his butt and escaped the disaster. He also took the lives of two Guandi Army soldiers.

I can only say that Zhang Bingzhong should not die.

After a few words of secret curses, Qin Chuan asked the Guandi Army to seize the time to identify the prisoners, and to pull out all the old camp and the evil people who were doing evil, beheaded. The rest rushed to a valley behind the Bian Pass Mountain and let them wait there.

According to the prisoners, in addition to countless gold, silver and treasures in Zhang Bingzhong's camp, there were eight or nine hundred stones of grain. He took the batch of grain and distributed them to their food for a few days, so that they could walk to Luliang Mountain by themselves.

At the same time, Qin Chuan also sent out 200 people, led by Lao Huang, Bobcaoer, Zhao Wu and Liao Sanqiu, to patrol around the bandit camp, preventing Zhang Bingzhong from returning to the camp, and monitoring the bandits in the camp to prevent them from slipping away suddenly.

When Li Biaofeng, Zhang Kewang and others found out that Zhang Bingzhong was missing, they would definitely run away.

Others can leave, but Qin Chuan will definitely not let Li Biaofeng run away. He wants to take Li Biaofeng's head, take it to Jiuji Mountain, and insert it in front of the graves.

There are also food, gold, silver and treasures in the camp, which cannot be transported away.

According to the prisoners, Zhang Bingzhong snatched Shanxi from Shaanxi and Henan. He snatched many treasures along the way. When he was defeated, he threw a lot of silver, but he was reluctant to throw the gold. He saved at least a few thousand taels of gold along the way.

There were also tens of thousands of taels of silver that he robbed in northern Henan not long ago and stored in his camp tent. Usually, he and a few adopted sons were in charge. When he came out to attack the mountain, he asked Liu Wenxiu to lead an old camp to stay for him to guard.
