Chapter 31 Crouching Tiger Ridge

Chapter 31: Wohuling

Not to mention the slaughter of tigers and eagles on the Pegasus Ranch, but to say that the southernmost end of Jitou Mountain is about 200 miles away from Pegasus Ranch, there is a mountain called Wohuling.

Wohuling is not very high, but the mountain is dangerous and has a special geographical location. It just guards a secret passage from Anding County to Hanyang County - Feiyingjian. Feiyingjian is five miles long and is said to be unable to fly over the eagle, so it is named. There is a narrow path at the bottom of the stream that can accommodate two horses in parallel. Feiyingjian just avoids Longguan in Hanyang County. It is the only way for merchants to travel between Anding County and Hanyang County.

Others who are bandits rely on the mountains to eat, but Wohuling all rely on Feiyingjian for food. They found a dangerous place not far from the entrance of Feiyingjian. The sentry tower is backed by Wohuling, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Usually, two hundred soldiers are assigned to guard it. As long as they pass by, they will charge a certain fee depending on the amount of their goods, otherwise they will not be allowed to pass.

There are rules for Wohuling. If you don’t do the thing of killing chickens and getting eggs, you usually only take one-fifth of the property carried by merchants. It is not much different from the tax revenue of the government, and it does not hurt people’s lives. It also ensures their safety along Feiying Rural. Therefore, although you know that there are bandits seeking wealth here, merchants passing by Feiying Rural are still in constant force.

The bandits in Wohuling mainly rely on charging tolls to make a living, and their income is very limited. Apart from some miscellaneous people, there are only a thousand real bandits. They mainly guard against the enemy's attacks and suppression based on the dangerous mountains and the solidity of the city.

Yan Kaishan, the chief of Wohuling, is from Jincheng, Liangzhou. He is in his thirties. He is of medium size and has a strong appearance. He holds an iron sword in his hand, but he is nicknamed "King of Hell". Yan Kaishan has a son named Xingbiao and is a name Yanming. He is thirteen years old. He has loved martial arts since he was a child. A big sword in his hand is rare in Wohuling.

It was only recently that it had just snowed. The snow on the Feiyingjian Valley Road was very deep and it was difficult to walk. There were fewer merchants passing by Feiyingjian than usual, and sometimes there was no one even seen for a few days. The defenders of Wohuling simply pulled up the suspension bridge, closed the city gate, hid in the wardrobe, and just ate fire, cooked wine, and chatted about the yellow bridge to pass the time.

The north wind whistled, blew the sky full of snow. It was already noon, and the sky was still white.

At this moment, a long convoy appeared on the snow in front of him. More than a hundred strong men drove over hundreds of carriages to the Wohuling mail tower without slowing down.

There was a man in his twenties, eight feet tall, wide and round waist, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. Who would be Li Kan, who would not be the "door god"? A big man was sitting in a carriage behind him, carrying a giant iron-tied strong bow and hanging sword in the waist. It was Liang Xing, the "bow god" who was sitting.

Not far from the convoy, there were two teams of men behind. One team was five hundred spearmen and two hundred infantry led by "Thunder Zi" Zhang Heng, and the other team was the top 200 archers and five hundred crossbowmen led by "Thousand-Handed Boy" Ma Wan.

The snow was thick and frozen tightly. The war horses and vehicles were creaking while walking on it. The convoy went on all the way until the convoy arrived near the Wohuling Post Tower, and the sergeants did not notice it.

The convoy slowly stopped, and five hundred soldiers rushed out from it. In addition, the 100 strong men who drove the car were exactly 600, 300 strong archers, and 300 sword and shield soldiers. It was like using magic. These soldiers who were originally empty-handed were covered in order in a short while. Under the leadership of "door god" Li Kan and "bow god" Liang Xing, the "bow god" and picked up weapons and surrounded the wardrobe.

The north wind roared outside, and the cold air was so cold that the guards in the whistle could never have dreamed that in this weather, someone would dare to attack Wohuling with all the worlds. They drank so dizzy, dizzy, and were everywhere, and there was no one on the watchtower.

There was a huge trench two meters wide and three meters deep in front of the trench. The bottom of the trench was filled with sharp wooden spears, and the suspension bridge was hanging high above, blocking Li Kan and Liang Xing and the others outside the trench. Li Kan looked at the trench and couldn't help but take a breath. This was too cruel. If it accidentally fell into it, it would definitely be poked and full of holes.

"Gate God" Li Kan and "Gate God" Liang Xing and others had thought of various possibilities before coming, but they didn't expect that the whistle tower was hanging high with suspension bridges and the city gates were closed. They rushed for two hundred miles, and there was no possibility that they would still carry siege equipment.

"Dismant the carriage!" Li Kan had an idea and brought more than a dozen people to the carriage. He started to work together. He quickly dismantled the intact carriage into several wooden boards, then connected three wooden blocks together, tied them tightly with the reins of the carriage in the middle, and the springboards that were about five or five feet wide and three meters long were quickly spliced ​​together.

Five springboards were flat on the trench, with three hundred swords and shields in front, and three hundred archers rushed over quickly behind. As soon as they crossed the trench, Li Kan directed the soldiers to put the five wooden boards against the city wall and used them as ladders. The soldiers of Pegasus Ranch carefully climbed towards the city wall along the wooden board step by step. Upon the city wall, the team was divided into two halves. One was led by the "Bow God" Liang Xing and forced the army camp towards the Wohuling camp, and the other was led by the "Gate God" Li Kan, controlling the city gate, lowering the suspension bridge, and putting 1,400 soldiers from Pegasus Ranch into the sentry tower.

Everything happened so suddenly. When the "Bow God" Liang Xing and three hundred archers surrounded the Wohuling camp, the guards of Wohuling had not yet understood what was going on. They looked at the sharp arrows aimed at them in a daze, and did not dare to move.

The "door god" Li Kan took down the city gate tower without any trouble. Of course, it would not be troublesome, because there was no guard there. The city gate opened and the suspension bridge fell. The 1,400 soldiers waiting outside entered one after another, led by the "Thousand-Handed Boy" Ma Wan and "Lei Zi" Zhang Heng.

Wohu Ridge is located on the top of the mountain, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is still five miles away from the sentry tower. There is a relatively wide road between the sentry tower and the Wohu Ridge. This road was specially built to transport robbed goods. Capturing the sentry tower was just the first step to march into Wohu Ridge. With the entry of 1,400 soldiers, the sentry tower was already densely packed with Pegasus Ranch soldiers.

The guards of Wohuling became prisoners without any resistance under the threat of the shining sharp arrows of cold light, and were driven into a slightly larger barracks and taken care of.

"Who is the leader here? Stand out immediately." Liang Xing shouted loudly at the stuffed barracks.

After a while, no one stood up, which made Liang Xing very angry, so he raised his voice again and asked loudly: "Who is the leader here? Come out quickly! I will count three times. If I haven't stood up, I will chop his head."

After saying that, he counted loudly, "One, two, three..." Just as he counted to three, a man came out of the crowd tremblingly and said tremblingly: "It's a villain."

"What's your name?" Liang Xing looked at the person kneeling in front of him and shouted loudly.

"Little Li Xiong." The thief said tremblingly.

"Do you want to survive?" Liang Xing asked.

"The villain has an 80-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed. He also asks the hero to spare his life. Even if he is a cattle and a horse, he will repay his kindness." Everyone in the world is not afraid of death, Li Xiong hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Okay, as long as you do what you say, I will not only spare your life, but also remember your great achievements. You will definitely be rewarded after the event is completed." Liang Xing continued, "You will find ten confidants to come out with us immediately. But I will also remind you not to be clever, so as not to lose your life." Liang Xing said sternly, lifting the iron arch in his hand, a sharp arrow shot to a big tree a hundred and fifty steps outside. With a loud "bang", the trunk of a bucket as thick as a tree was shot into the opposite direction by the feather arrow.

"I know, I will never dare to violate it." Li Xiong was so scared that he looked deserted when he saw Liang Xing's power with an arrow. He didn't dare to do so.

After a while, Li Xiong found ten people from the crowd and stood aside.

Liang Xing called eleven Pegasus Ranch soldiers over and asked them to change into the clothes of the guards of Wohuling and dress up as the guards of Wohuling. With Liang Xing's order, Li Xiong and a Pegasus Ranch soldiers rode in front, followed by twenty large cars behind. Liang Xing and Li Kan were also sitting in the large cart, and the convoy drove towards the gate of Wohuling Village.
