Chapter 6
"Light it up." Peng Yingyu ordered, and Chen Youliang lit the fuse.

The black powder under the boulder exploded, and there was a loud bang, earth and rocks splashed everywhere.

A yuan army brigade closest to the explosion point immediately sent troops to check the situation.

They didn't notice those four pairs of eyes shining with cold light in the dense forest.

"Get ready. Let it go!" With a wave of Peng Yingyu's hand, Chen Youliang cut off the rope, and the boulder fixed on the hillside rolled down with a gurgling gurgling, and rushed towards the dozens of Yuan soldiers along the path.

"Spread away! Scatter!" Yuan army squad leader yelled while running, and the Yuan soldiers who had been marching in line immediately dispersed and hid in the nearby dense forest.

In the dense forest, there are fallen leaves and soft soil everywhere. Under the soil, there are big pits covered with sharp bamboos.

A few yuan soldiers had just escaped from being crushed by rolling stones, and before they had time to rejoice, they stepped into the air and were inserted into skewers by bamboo in the pit.

The squad leader widened his eyes, aware of the danger lurking all around, and immediately blew his whistle to call for help from the Yuan Brigade.

The Yuan soldiers scattered in the woods did not dare to move, for fear that they would meet Genghis Khan if they were not careful.

"on!"

Zhu Chongba holds a steel knife, his feet are like the wind, his figure shuttles nimbly through the dense forest, and when he goes around the back of the Yuan soldiers, he raises the knife and lands a head.

Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were in a group, quietly lurking beside the soldiers who were alone. One drew fire from the front, and the other stabbed the black knife in the back.

Groups of elemental soldiers are not easy to fight, and single elemental soldiers can be killed one at a time.

Seeing that his men were getting fewer and fewer, the captain of the Yuan Army was anxious and angry. He shouted loudly: "Who is so bold? Dare to attack the third brigade? Don't you want to live?"

Zhu Chongba had long noticed this strong man with red tie on his arm. He quietly came behind the captain, and with a flash of the knife, he cut off the hairy head.

On the rocks not far away, Peng Yingyu watched with a smile as these young men harvested the enemy army, as if seeing a prairie fire that could burn Dayuan in the not-too-distant future.

Zhu Chongba held the team leader's head, threw it in the middle of the path, and grinned: "We won the first battle."

Chen Youliang didn't speak. After more than ten years on the fishing boat, he saw the charm of mechanism art for the first time. He held a human head in his hand, but his eyes were shining.

Zhang Shicheng crossed his hips, pointed at the head on the ground and laughed loudly: "I chopped off half of it. Haha."

Zhu Chongba smiled, thinking: This Zhang Shicheng is a very successful guy.

He waved his hand: "People from the third brigade will be here soon, let's get ready."

The three of them turned around and plunged into the woods beside the road.

As expected, after hearing the distress signal, the third brigade of the Yuan army set off immediately. Zhu Chongba, the captain of the brigade, had seen him, and he was the one who laughed at him before.

In the middle of the path, the head of his companion completely angered the captain, he pulled out his saber, turned around and shouted: "Brothers of the third brigade, someone has bullied our Mongolian cavalry! Find the murderer!" Kill them to avenge the scouting team!"

The Great Yuan Dynasty ruled China for so long, and Mongolian cavalry were absolutely strong wherever they went. When did they suffer such a loss?If the murderer is caught, he must be cut to pieces!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The berserk blood of more than a hundred yuan soldiers instantly ignited.

At the same time, there were also surrounding wildfires.Zhu Chongba and the others had already buried gunpowder and wood around them, and they waited for the Yuan soldiers to enter the encirclement. When Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng used fuel to cut off their retreat, they immediately lit the fire.

The raging mountain fire was out of control. In the flame circle, the soldiers of the third brigade were crying and howling, fleeing in all directions, but they couldn't get out of the monstrous flames.The captain was trampled to death by the chaotic crowd, and until the moment his soul returned to the sky, he never imagined that he would die at the hands of the humiliated southerners.Outside the circle of flames, Zhu Chongba held a bow and arrow in his hand, as long as there were Yuan soldiers who risked their lives to rush out of the circle of flames, they would scream when they opened their bows and shot arrows.Zhang Shicheng even enjoyed the pleasure of cutting off the enemy's head himself. He held a saber in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a smirk on his mouth.Seeing his grinning face outside the circle of flames, Yuan soldiers from the third brigade called out, "King Shura is coming", and retreated to break out of the encirclement in another place.Compared to Zhu Chongba and Zhang Shicheng's act of killing one by one, Chen Youliang felt that it was too unsafe.Holding the crossbow trigger given by his master, he aimed at the figure in the flames, and pulled the trigger repeatedly. Every row of crossbow arrows shot out was full of screams and wailing.

On Tianping Mountain, Zhang Shiyi stared at the black smoke rising into the sky with fixed eyebrows, his eyes were filled with tears, and his lips trembled: "Here we come, here we come. Zhang Shicheng is here."

Zhang Shide raised his scimitar, turned around and said to more than a dozen salt merchants behind him, "Brothers, it's the last battle. Go down!"

The fire all over the sky not only attracted the attention of the salt merchants on the mountain, but also attracted the attention of the other two brigades of Yuan soldiers.

Peng Yingyu sat high and could see far away. He raised his left and right hands and clapped them over, signaling Zhu Chongba and the others to retreat quickly after the Yuan army flanked them.

The two reorganized brigades, with a strength of nearly 300 people, are a dead end if they encounter them head-on.

The fire in the mountains successfully attracted Yuan Bing's attention. Their purpose of this trip was only one, to rescue the salt merchants who were trapped on the mountain!
Zhu Chongba and others quickly evacuated, avoiding the Yuan soldiers who came to reinforce them, and followed another path up the mountain.Just a few steps away, I heard the rustling of footsteps from the opposite side.Zhu Chongba's expression darkened, he drew out his scimitar, and flew up the tree to prepare to fight.

"Brother!" Zhang Shicheng screamed, and a dozen blood-stained "savages" emerged from the woods. They were the salt merchants who had been besieged for many days!

Zhang Shide hugged Zhang Shicheng's shoulder: "Good brother!"

The eyes of all the salt merchants were shining, and surrounded Zhang Shicheng: "Good brother! We owe you a life! If you have orders in the future, just speak up!"

"Well done, Zhang Shicheng!"

Seeing Zhang Shicheng's red face full of excitement, Zhu Chongba patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go quickly. Before Yuanbing realizes that something is wrong, quickly evacuate."

The salt merchants retreated along the path and came to the ferry.The yuan soldiers who reacted followed closely, and they were about to catch up.

Zhang Shicheng took out the silver tael and stuffed it into the hands of the boatman: "Hurry up and set sail!"

Zhu Chongba added: "Let all the boatmen set sail. Don't keep a single boat."

The salt merchants reacted instantly and hurriedly dug out the silver: "Yes, yes, yes! Let's drive away and leave none for Yuan Bing! We have plenty of silver!"

The boatman narrowed his eyes, whistled, and yelled: "Brothers, it's open."

The fleet was getting further and further away from the shore. Looking at the furious Yuan Bing, Zhang Shicheng and others breathed a sigh of relief.

But they never imagined that there is still danger waiting for them ahead.
