Zhang Shibi didn't go crazy, but he suddenly saw that in front of the majestic Shanyue army, there were several leaders of the Brotherhood, among which he was riding a terrifying wild boar, wearing a cow horn helmet and a wild armor, who was not Xiao Tianlei?!

Looking at the other leaders of the Brotherhood and the Shanyue army behind, Zhang Shibi suddenly understood many things and finally realized a key point he had ignored before. Several of the leaders of the Brotherhood were Shanyue people, but they were not usually visible and exposed. The main ones were Zheng Biao, Qin Jincai, Xiao Tianlei, Xiao Tianbao and others. However, if you think about it carefully, Xiao Tianlei among these people, his mother was Shanyue people, and his grandfather was a witch doctor with a special status among Shanyue people. His uncle and cousins ​​were naturally Shanyue people. Many Shanyue workers in the Brotherhood, workshops and shops, originally thought they were slaves who were redeemed, but now it seems that this is not the case. The Brotherhood has been closely connected with Shanyue from the beginning. It can be said that behind the Brotherhood is almost all Shanyue people. It is no wonder that the Brotherhood is so well-informed in Lingzhou!

It was too late for Zhang Shibi to come here at this time. Xiao Tianlei and others led the Shanyue army and had surrounded the garrisons of these counties. There was no need to think about the Shanyue army in Pingnanbo. The imperial army must have encountered some obstacles and could not arrive.

Zhang Shibi was right, Pingnanbo's army could not come, or it was coming, but it was standing on the side of the Brotherhood. Before Xiao Tianlei and others arrived, they had already experienced a battle, and were dealing with Pingnanbo.

Pingnanbo's ancestors relied on betraying Shanyue to obtain the title of Pingnanbo, and their descendants were rich. However, Pingnanbo's status was a bit embarrassing. Many people in the Daxia court looked down on Pingnanbo and believed that Pingnanbo was a barbarian. Most people in Shanyue were extremely angry with Pingnanbo. Many Shanyue people once assassinated Pingnanbo to avenge revenge. It can be said that they were not from inside or outside. Later, in order to consolidate their status, Pingnanbo of all generations took various measures to win over Shanyue people and showed kindness to Shanyue people, and also released some rumors that the first generation Pingnanbo did not betray Shanyue. The reason why they defected to Daxia was because Shanyue was unable to fight against Daxia. Therefore, for the continuation of Shanyue, the first generation Pingnanbo endured humiliation and saved the lives of many Shanyue people.

The story is well written, and it gives people the feeling that it is like that. Anyway, as time goes by, there are no witnesses in the matter back then, and the original great traitor became a saint-like character. However, history was originally written by the winner and dressed up by others, and Xiao Tianlei didn't care about this. The judgment of this matter was still to let the witch doctors of Shanyue do it. The key to the matter was that Pingnanbo obeyed the will of the court and summoned his subordinates to deal with the Brotherhood. Pingnanbo worked hard for all generations and indeed became the leader of the Shanyue people and established a fierce Shanyue army. However, Pingnanbo has always kept a low profile and was not ostentatious.

If we say that the Pingnanbo clan has been in charge for many years, it not only developed some strength, but also reproduced a large group of tribesmen, and also learned from the great clans in Daxia to study and practice martial arts, and there are also some outstanding figures.

If there were no brotherhood, waiting for a few years, maybe Pingnan Bo Mansion could gradually eliminate hatred and rely on Shanyue people to develop into a major force in Lingzhou. It is difficult for others to shake it. Unfortunately, the time was not long enough. Many things about Shanyue people were passed down by word of mouth by word of witch doctors. Compared with Pingnan Bo who looked like a noble Bo, Shanyue people also believed more in treating their illnesses, educating their children, and praying for blessings. Pingnan Bo has won Shanyue people over the years, but has also been very arrogant. Although in the past many years, the Pingnan Bo lineage has been

Hate still exists and is surging in the dark. Originally, it would be difficult to vent if there was no chance. However, with the development of Xiao Tianlei and Shanyue people in Wild Bour Ridge, the changes brought to Lingzhou by the Brotherhood, Jiang Wudian and other witch doctors united some Shanyue people and gradually attracted more Shanyue people. The Shanyue people army under Pingnanbo was also Shanyue people, and also parents, relatives and children. Through secret contact and kinship, after several years of gradual infiltration, except for some loyal people, most people stood opposite to Pingnanbo Mansion.

Even so, the one who knows the most about Shanyue people and is the most sensitive to the changes in Shanyue people is still Pingnan Bo Mansion. If Pingnan Bo Mansion was allowed to notice some abnormalities of Shanyue people, the situation would probably be very bad. Therefore, in recent years, the Brotherhood has not provoked the Pingnan Bo tribe, and they are in peace in Pingnan County. However, that is just a superficial situation, and the secret infiltration has never stopped, especially taking advantage of the internal conflicts of Pingnan Bo family to make a fuss.

In recent years, Pingnanbo of this generation has become older. His sons and a whole family have fought openly and secretly for the title of Pingnanbo. Therefore, Shanyue Witch Doctor Jiang and other Shanyue Witch Doctors have specially added fuel to the fire. The Pingnanbo clan is even more lively and has a lot of fun fighting, so he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to Shanyue people, nor do he notice the many changes in Shanyue people.

It was also the inheritance of the titles of the Pingnanbo clan that lasted long enough that they had been accustomed to being high and thought that they had Daxia as their backer, and that Shanyue people could not make waves. They could sit on the heads of all Shanyue people with peace of mind and enjoy happiness. They even felt that it was natural, and they were the representatives of Shanyue people, and even had the idea of ​​unifying Shanyue.

In fact, Pingnanbo's family has not seen the development of the Brotherhood, but they are just waiting and watching, and even hope that some trouble will occur, so that they can take the opportunity to send troops to make contributions and show their presence. After all, after years of peace, the court probably has forgotten the existence of Pingnanbo and the title is no longer stable.

Jiang Wudian, Xiao Tianlei and others knew about the sneaky thoughts of some people in Pingnan Bo Mansion. They had long wanted to deal with the ill intentions of this brotherly pair. However, before they were launched, they continued to think that they had won the hearts of many Shanyue people and that the army in their hands was strong enough.

As a result, when the current Pingnanbo led some generals from the clan to gather the Shanyue army and prepare to set out to meet with Zhang Shibi, they faced the sudden collective rebellion of the Shanyue army. The next thing was simple. Xiao Tianlei and others brought the Shanyue elite soldiers and Shanyue warriors from Yezhuling to appear, and they broke up these people and some loyal people. The Pingnanbo clan also became prisoners, and the whole process was less than an hour.

Afterwards, Xiao Tianlei and others could not control the revenge. They quickly reorganized the Shanyue army in Pingnanbo and included it in control. After that, they led their troops to Lingzhou City. They arrived near Lingzhou City, and at the location prepared by the Brotherhood, they let the soldiers rest and replenish their energy. When dawn, the entire army was dispatched to surround the garrisons of the counties gathered by Zhang Shibi.

"Reorganize the army! Fight! Hurry up...Reorganize the army!" Zhang Shibi ran back in a panic, shouting loudly.

Without Zhang Shibi's shout, as the Shanyue army approached step by step, it had already alarmed the soldiers and generals from other counties. After waiting for a night, many people were exhausted, most of them were sleeping, and the awake people were complaining and cursing. When the sound of the Shanyue army approaching, many people woke up enough. When they saw the Shanyue army advancing with the drum beat, their almost uniform movements were stunned for a moment and they couldn't figure out the situation.

"You are surrounded, and those who resist will die! Put down your weapons and you can survive!"

Xiao Tianlei used his qi to send the sound over the soldiers. The sound rolled and echoed. Many soldiers who were still sleepy suddenly became excited and realized that they had been surrounded by others. Most of these soldiers were not considered elite soldiers, with average discipline. Seeing that the situation was not good, they ran around like headless flies, but they just ran around. They saw that there were Shanyue troops on all sides, with bright swords and guns flashing with cold light, and the bows and crossbows had been stolen.

Seeing this, Zhang Shibi was furious and kept urging and shouting. Some generals tried to gather their subordinates and prepare for battle. However, the surrounding Shanyue army had already surrounded them, and some balls flew out from four directions and landed above the gathered soldiers. It exploded with a loud bang, flames, thick smoke... Not many of them fell down, and more were so scared that they cried and called their parents to run around and chasing the formation.

Zhang Shibi sighed dejectedly. He was panicked and scared at first, but he had reached the point where he could not be broken any more. He was also in a state of disrespect. He raised his chest and took out the appearance of an imperial official. He shouted sternly and said, "Xiao Tianlei, the prosperous Holy Dynasty, do you dare to rebel?! You really don't know how to live or die! Now that the imperial army is coming, I advise you to stop waiting and not to lose your life or implicate your family!"

Xiao Tianlei was not scared, and he knew that Zhang Shibi was bluffing, and that Zhang Shibi was talking nonsense, and the army had put it out, but he still stopped the horse. It was enough to say such stupid words! Xiao Tianlei was too lazy to talk to Zhang Shibi, without any meaning at all, and said boredly: "I really don't have a common language, so I can't say something practical... Forget it, say less nonsense, surrender quickly!"

Seeing that Xiao Tianlei was unmoved, Zhang Shibi was determined to rebel, and gritted his teeth and said with righteousness: "Doessment! As a court official, I am a court official, and I have received the emperor's kindness, how can I surrender to you, a traitor? Even if I die, I will not surrender! I am full of righteousness, so why fear such a sinister and arrogant person like you? But you are looking for death, and the death of your family will not be far away. Even after death, I will be infamous for thousands of years, and thousands of people will be scolded...ah!"

Before Zhang Shibi finished speaking, he screamed. Xiao Tianlei rode the steel mane and knocked Zhang Shibi out, curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Give you a little color, you are still pulling it! I whine, I didn't ask you alone! Even if you are willing to surrender, I don't care about you, an old guy! Repeat once, the rebels die! Put down the weapons to survive! Many of you should know the style of our Brotherhood! Do what you say!" Xiao Tianlei said to the garrison again.

This is the disadvantage of civil servants leading troops. They are too easy to be dealt with and are extremely unhappy. However, the garrisons were still messy and there was no morale at all. But when Zhang Shibi was dealt with and no chief officer, he suddenly lost his mind. For many soldiers, they just followed the orders and didn't know what they did. Now, their minds are even more muddy.

The generals and officials who knew the inside story thought they could take the opportunity to make some credit, but now they are better off. They have been waiting for a night, but the court army has not waited for it, and they have no hope of making the credit, and they have been given a good deal! The whole thing is a bit inexplicable.

However, if you want to surrender, you will not make up your mind for a while. The Brotherhood is a rebellion! Can the Brotherhood block the imperial army? Can it have a good end? However, the imperial army that was said to be coming before will be gone, and it must be because of the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood has always said what it says. If it does not surrender, it will not be worth losing its life!

Compared with officers, the soldiers were simply. Some people threw away their weapons without thinking too much, and others threw them away. In fact, there were also brothers among these people, which played a good role at this time.

The sound of weapons falling down was heard, and almost all the soldiers dropped their weapons. Seeing this, the generals were the only ones left, so how could they fight?

A group of generals hesitated, but Xiao Tianlei was impatient. He pulled out the shackles of the north wind, urged the steel bristles, and rushed towards the generals, and rushed to the front. The generals raised the weapons in their hands. Xiao Tianlei thought they were going to take action, but the result...

"I'm willing to surrender!"

"I'm willing to surrender, too!"

...

The generals threw the weapons in their hands quickly, like throwing a red soldering iron, turned over and got off the horse, knelt on the ground and begged for surrender, Xiao Tianlei's north wind shackles hung in the air.

I'm just teasing me. This is! Xiao Tianlei originally wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but as a result, these guys surrendered so quickly that they had to give up.

It’s no wonder these generals. When facing the siege, most of the soldiers have surrendered. There is really no possibility of fighting out. The Brotherhood also promises to save their lives. Moreover, the opposite is Xiao Tianlei. It is rumored that he was a tough character who beat several first-class generals and fought him. I really don’t want to live anymore! The wild boar alone is not something they can deal with, but because of hesitation and the threat of life is approaching, they almost made the same choice, and no one wants to die, right?

In this way, all the garrisons in Lingzhou surrendered. Xiao Tianlei waved his hand. Some Shanyue soldiers walked forward and shouted with trumpets: "Put down your weapons, take off your armor, line up, walk out slowly along this path, and someone outside accepts you. Be sure to obey the command and don't run around, otherwise we should not blame us for being polite!"

Afterwards, teams of disarmed soldiers slowly walked out of the encirclement, waiting outside were some of the fraternity personnel. They only received the order early this morning. However, with the high efficiency of the fraternity, they arrived soon, but what they had to do still surprised them a lot.

No matter how surprised, the members of these brotherhoods have been through long-term training or following orders, and quickly get into the state, accepting the surrendered soldiers, registering them, and then taking them to have breakfast. The scene is basically in order.

As for the place where these garrisons went, Xiao Tianlei had long thought about it. These garrisons were considered prisoners of war and could not be released. Originally, the imperial court mainly relied on these garrisons to control Lingzhou. Now that they have all been captured, the Brotherhood can be regarded as controlling Lingzhou. However, Xiao Tianlei was very clear that although Lingzhou has developed greatly in recent years under the guidance of the Brotherhood, the foundation is still weak. If you want to use Lingzhou's power to fight against the Daxia court, you must use all the things that can be used. There will be many projects in Lingzhou after that, which just takes a lot of labor. You must know that Lingzhou's population is not large.

Xiao Tianlei basically doesn't have to worry about receiving prisoners of war anymore. It will be done by various institutions of the Brotherhood. All Xiao Tianlei has to do is to meet for a while. The army brought by the new General Zhennan was previously a huge threat. Now, with the implementation of Xiao Tianlei's plan, its threat is greatly reduced and it is not that urgent.

The horns and drum beats sounded again, and the Shanyue Army turned and changed its queues, lined up in a long row, stepping on the rhythmic drum beats, heading towards the direction of Nanyue Mountain.

The appearance of the Shanyue army looks very powerful and has high morale. If you want to talk about real combat power, it is actually not very good. At least Xiao Tianlei seems to have many shortcomings. After all, it can be considered a hasty army, and it is okay to fight a smooth battle. If you fight hard with the imperial army, you don’t know how many people die. Fortunately, Xiao Tianlei never planned to fight hard and fight with his life. It is not Xiao Tianlei’s style, and there is no need at all.

As early as after the last time he attacked General Zong Zhengkui of Zhennan, Xiao Tianlei discussed with his brothers and formulated a series of plans, which have been implemented for several months. The specific results, at least for now, are quite successful.

The Shanyue army slowly advanced with the drum beats. While walking, some Shanyue warriors from Wild Boar Ridge in the team taught other soldiers some precautions. Xiao Tianlei rode the steel mane and a few brothers, took some cavalry and took a step forward.

After running along the official road for more than a day, many passers-by were scared. Xiao Tianlei and his party arrived at the foot of Nanyue Mountain on the border of Lingzhou, but this place was a major road entering and leaving Lingzhou.

After entering Nanyue Mountain, I walked a mile or two and arrived at a dangerous valley pass. Originally, this place was unobstructed, but at this time I saw a Guancheng, like a dam, cutting off the road between the two mountains. Generally, it was a fortification somewhat similar to the prism structure, but the entire Guancheng was grayish-white, integrated. If you look closely, you can see some thin joints. The front wall is more than 20 meters high, very smooth, with a protruding top and a row of steel spikes that are difficult to climb. The two sides of Guancheng extend, sealing the road, and two fortresses were built on the tops of the mountain on both sides.

Even if a Guancheng has a strange shape, there is nothing surprising. However, if this Guancheng was established in a few days, it would be enough to be surprising. Yes, this Guancheng was established in less than ten days, and what Xiao Tianlei thought of from the beginning was to use some defensive measures to block the imperial army outside Lingzhou.

With the power you have in your hands, can you face the Daxia head-on?

It is important for people to know themselves, and Xiao Tianlei is very clear about the answer: No! Even if he has a large number of troops under his command, he only has the number of troops that can fight. Even if he is an elite, he may be able to win a few victories. However, if he fights against Daxia for a long time and faces several or even dozens of times the enemy, with the foundation of Lingzhou, he will only have the only way to perish.

Therefore, from the beginning, Xiao Tianlei never wanted to fight head-on, but even though he couldn't win, the defense should be fine.

Lingzhou is already mountainous, and it mainly depends on several important roads to enter and exit. As long as the Guancheng is built on these important roads, it can effectively block the imperial army. Xiao Tianlei was not the first to come up with this strategy. As early as when the Shanyue people fought against Daxia, they built many Guanchengs. Although they were later defeated one by one for various reasons, the problem was basically not in the defense of Guancheng itself. Relying on these Guanchengs, the Shanyue people resisted the Daxia army for many years and caused huge damage to the Daxia army.

After Daxia completely defeated the Shanyue people, most of these passes were demolished, and some of the remaining ones were basically abandoned after years of experience.

Generally speaking, it takes several months to build a Guancheng, and even years to build a large one, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. However, for Xiao Tianlei, it is not the same. He mastered some technologies such as cement, had different construction thinking, and had a considerable construction team. It would take far less time to build a Guancheng.

Select a suitable location, complete the design of Guancheng, and pre-manufacture of cement components, then transport them to a predetermined location and assemble them.

The cement prefabricated parts are relatively heavy, but it has some machinery from Wild Boar Ridge, as well as the help of Snow Ape Nunu and Wukong. Their huge strength can build the city like a pile of blocks. In addition, the project also uses warriors to build it. It has Gangqi, is strong and flexible, and is several times more efficient than ordinary people.

The only problem is how to keep it confidential. Therefore, the brothers will transport some components nearby in the name of road construction. When appropriate, it will block the passage of some roads just like building roads. Then, within a few days, the main project construction of Guancheng was completed. It is definitely a miracle for people in this world, but for Xiao Tianlei, it is a natural thing.

However, having Guancheng does not mean that it is foolproof. There is no fortress in the world that cannot be broken, and it is not easy to defend Guancheng. There are not many people responsible for defending the city, and there is a little pressure in the face of tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, after surrendering the garrisons, Xiao Tianlei immediately brought people to support. Just when Xiao Tianlei and others arrived at Guancheng, they heard the rumbling sound of war drums coming from the other side of Guancheng.
Chapter completed!
