"Eighteen hundred people?"
Upon hearing this number, the people of Mangshan gasped in surprise.
Jing Zhe had also learned that there were only about two thousand constables and soldiers in Yongzhou City, but Lin Wenyao had gathered eighteen hundred men at once. It seemed that he was determined to take Mangshan!
Lu Li waved his hand, reassuring everyone: "Don't worry, so what if there are 1,800 people? When we attacked Mangshan, it was much more dangerous and difficult than this."
After listening, everyone fell into deep thought.
The wicked bandits on Mangshan Mountain back then were far more formidable than the government troops now stationed below.
Thinking about it that way, I became less nervous.
Lin Wenyao hid in the crowd, afraid to show his face, lest someone on the mountain launch a sneak attack on him.
He went back and did some serious research on the notorious bandits of Mangshan, and they were indeed a very troublesome group.
However, news of his rushing out of the mourning hall and chasing the bandits of Mangshan had already spread throughout the city, so whether it was to establish his authority or to seek revenge, he had to forge ahead.
Otherwise, how will we establish ourselves in Yongzhou?
But his demands weren't high; if Mangshan could hand over the person, he didn't want to confront them head-on.
As for the three people—besides Young Master Akun and his wife, there is naturally that beautiful and dashing woman in black. If Lin Wenyao could win over both of these stunningly beautiful women at the same time, he would be laughing in his dreams.
However, after making his harsh remarks, no one on the mountain responded for a long time, which made him somewhat annoyed.
Is my pride so worthless?
"Listen up, people of Mangshan! I'll say it again: hand over those three people, and we'll all live in peace and harmony! If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Go to hell!"
Just as he finished speaking, a fist-sized rock suddenly flew down from the mountain and hit a soldier in front of him squarely on the head, knocking him unconscious. Lin Wenyao immediately collapsed to the ground, nearly wetting himself in fright.
"Protect the young master!"
As soon as the lean constable shouted, a large group of people immediately surrounded him, using their shields to cover Lin Wenyao.
It turned out that the big guy had been standing at the highest point of the mountain entrance, with an excellent view, and after searching based on the sound, he finally found Lin Wenyao's location.
Unfortunately, there were soldiers standing in front of him, otherwise that rock would have hit him!
"Damn it, get to me—"
"ah!!!"
Just as Lin Wenyao was about to give the order to start the fight, before he could finish speaking, a boulder rolled down the narrow mountain path. Caught off guard, the soldiers at the front were in deep trouble, managing to stop the boulder with their bare hands.
But the cost was also huge. Several people were hit on the head by rocks and bled profusely. The most seriously injured person fainted on the spot. They had just arrived on the mountain and hadn't even started fighting yet when they encountered such a shock. The soldiers were in an uproar.
...
On the mountain, everyone was watching Jing Zhe.
"It's a good thing that Lin guy was so cowardly, hiding among the crowd. Otherwise, we would have sent him straight to meet his father!"
Jing Zhe clapped his hands, looking very pleased with himself.
It turned out that, just as the two armies were facing off, Jing Zhe had silently kicked a rock down the mountain, catching the unprepared soldiers completely off guard.
The results were good, as for the process...
That seems a bit unrefined!
Seeing everyone looking at him, Jing Zhe smiled and said, "Don't you think it's amazing?"
After thinking for a moment, everyone nodded vigorously.
Only Hanhan asked in a naive tone, "It's impressive, but before others could finish speaking and before the battle even started, the young chieftain suddenly threw a rock down. Isn't that called... an unfair victory?"
"You think it's fair that I beat your sister!"
Jing Zhe kicked him and then angrily shouted.
"We have to take down this kind of scumbag, whether he lays a hand on us or not. So why wait for them to do anything? Strike first, understand?"
After listening, Hanhan scratched his head and thought for a moment, then said, "That seems to be true!"
Then he asked in confusion, "But why did you keep mentioning my sister? I already told you, I really don't have a sister. Only Fatty has a sister!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty immediately leaned over, his face full of flattery, and said, "Young Master, do you perhaps have a crush on someone else's girl? If so, I, Fatty, am willing to painfully part with her..."
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Jing Zhe kicked each of them, sending them flying far away.
Those two bastards, are they out of their minds?
I really wish I could send those two blockheads to Lin Wenyao to be his strategists!
What time is it to be arguing with him about this?
Lu Li coughed lightly, interrupting the three of them.
“Zhe’er is right. Since we’re going to fight, why wait for them to start the war? They came here today with no intention of ending things peacefully with us, so why should we wait?”
After Lu Li finished speaking, everyone in Mangshan was filled with excitement, waiting for her command.
Only Jing Zhe stood there, slightly stunned, pondering Lu Li's words, "Zhe'er."
This was the first time she had called him that, but Jing Zhe could tell that she did so naturally and without affectation, and it didn't sound awkward or abrupt to him, which was quite amazing.
Looking at Lu Li's perfect profile, Jing Zhe's heart was in turmoil.
At this moment, Lu Li's attention was entirely focused on the foot of the mountain, and she did not notice Jing Zhe's change. She only saw her raise her long sword in the air, then slash downwards, shouting loudly:
"beat!"
Lu Li did not send anyone to rush down the mountain to fight the enemy head-on; that would be too foolish for them, who were in a favorable position.
Fatty understood her meaning, and after she finished speaking, he called everyone to the rocks and began to push the rocks down the mountain!
In an instant, large, round boulders, each about half a person's size, began to roll down from the mountaintop entrance, their speed increasing as they hurtled towards the soldiers halfway down the mountain.
"careful!"
Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers in front exclaimed in surprise.
Rocks rolled down the mountain at high speed, and many people in front were knocked down before they could dodge them.
Lin Wenyao looked up, then covered his head and lay on the ground, trembling, too scared to get up.
Fortunately, the scene was chaotic and everyone was busy protecting themselves, so no one noticed his disheveled appearance. Otherwise, given his current performance, even if he were to become the prefect of Yongzhou in the future, he would probably find it difficult to win over the people.
