After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

The army moved quickly and soon arrived at the foot of Jinji Mountain where the bandits were.

Chu Xiangming took out a map and said

"Jinji Mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If a large army wants to go up, they can only attack by force, which is not an easy task."

The bandits on Jinji Mountain often come down the mountain to abduct women, and the intermittent anti-bandit activities have never stopped in the past few years. If it were not for the special terrain here, He Zheng would have caught them all in one fell swoop, and would not have been so tied up and left them alone until now.

What surprised He Zheng was that although this group of bandits committed all kinds of evil including rape and looting, they were always very cautious. They were the type that would move from place to place after striking a target and never carried out such large-scale operations. This time, for some reason, they were suddenly so bold as to hijack the caravan and the goods.

He Zheng looked at the map and pointed to several secluded paths on the map.

"If we want to break through now, we have to start from the rear. Send a small team of elite soldiers to open up a few paths from the back, enter the bandits' lair, and then provide support from inside and outside."

Chu Xiangming whispered

"This method is indeed feasible, but if we want to enter from the back, we have to pass through this Short Ridge. The bandits have set up many traps on Short Ridge, so it will probably take a lot of time."

There are checkpoints everywhere on the main road to Jinji Mountain. When attacking in the past, kerosene, boulders, and arrows always flew out like rain.

They suffered heavy losses, and He Zheng was unwilling to pave the way with his brothers' lives, so each time he only used intimidation and never paid in full.

This time, He Zheng was determined to wipe out this group of bandits.

Zhiyu came up to him quietly, glanced at the map, and said casually

“In fact, there is another way besides this.”

He Zheng looked at him

"What way?"

Zhiyu pointed to the river under Jinji Mountain

"Cross the river and go up the mountain."

Behind the towering mountains of Jinji Mountain is a branch of the sea water, which surrounds the back of the mountains and then flows downstream into the sea.

If it is true as Zhiyu said, then this place behind is indeed the weakest defense place in the entire Jinji Mountain.

He Zheng thought about it

"The troops will be divided into four groups. Two groups will go up the mountain by water as you said, and the other two groups will go over the Shorty Mountain that Xiang Ming mentioned."

"Yes, General."

The well-trained officers and soldiers soon set out on their own. Jiang Sheng said

"He Zhao, I want to follow those soldiers to the Shorty Mountain."

He Zhao looked at her

"Why?"

Jiang Sheng thought for a while and said

"I have inherited the teachings of my master, and my hearing and perception are very good. Isn't it said that there are many traps in the Dwarf Mountain? If I go there, I can help."

He Zhao looked at He Zheng and said softly when he saw him nod.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

It would have been fine if He Zhao wanted to go, but for some reason Zhiyu wanted to go too.

Jiang Sheng looked at him

"Sir, you are weak, don't make trouble."

Zhiyu looked at him

"My body is in good shape now, so it's no problem for me to travel this distance. I used to be on the battlefield a lot, so I can always help."

He Zheng had no choice but to agree, waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.

Jiang Sheng, He Zhao, Zhiyu followed a commander named Zhang to Aiziling.

After arriving there, Commander Zhang ordered each team to clear out the traps and obstacles, with one person every three steps.

The soldiers received the order and took action immediately.

Jiang Sheng stood still, but the wood-based power in her hand spread out with her as the center like an invisible fishing net.

While these soldiers were checking, Jiang Sheng called He Zhao aside, and the two of them whispered something to each other. Soon, He Zhao discovered many traps as if assisted by God.

The man asked in surprise

"Second Master, how do you know where the trap is?"

He Zhao said nonsense

"I also got help from someone. Okay, stop asking and focus on investigating."

The commander immediately fell silent.

They climbed the mountain much faster than expected.

They happened to meet a group of people who were crossing the river and going up the mountain. They were surprised why they came up so quickly.

After reaching the mountain, they did not dare to delay any longer and carefully moved towards the bandits' village.

You can hear the sound of stringed instruments from a long distance away.

Yingqiu and Yingyue, who came with them, looked at each other.

"This village is quite lively."

"Maybe he got too many things and is celebrating now."

He Zhao sneered

"It's the last meal, let's make them happy first."

Perhaps it was the natural terrain here that made them too confident, or perhaps it was because they had just successfully plundered a lot of goods, and this group of people were so happy that they lost their minds.

The guards were so lax.

It can be said that they reached the back hill of the house very easily.

Deputy Commander Zhang made a few quick gestures to his men, and those who came with him dispersed after hearing his words, leaving only Jiang Sheng and his group.

Deputy Commander Zhang whispered

"This isn't necessarily the safest place right now. We still have to be extra careful and not make any noise."

Several people nodded.

Then Jiang Sheng asked in a low voice

"Deputy Commander, why didn't you follow us just now?"

The deputy commander looked at them with a very understanding look in his eyes.

Why else would he stay? Of course, to protect them.

Jiang Sheng, who guessed the reason, smiled awkwardly.

Several people stayed in the bushes for a while, and then one of the people who went to explore the way came back and whispered a few words to Deputy Commander Zhang. Deputy Commander Zhang whispered

"We have found the place where the hostages are being held and are about to rescue them. I will leave for a while and come back to pick you up later."

Seeing He Zhao was about to stand up, Deputy Commander Zhang quickly held him down.

"Second Master, you take your men to guard here, don't leave."

Deputy Commander Zhang made a rough calculation and concluded that with Jiang Sheng's men, Erye's men, Zhiyu's men, and the people they brought with them, there should be no problem protecting them.

"Second Master, don't leave. Stay here. If the rescue is successful, the next step will be to eliminate the bandits. If you go out rashly, you might get hurt by mistake."

They naturally know the seriousness of the matter.

They all nodded in agreement.

"Deputy Commander Zhang, can you take me with you?"

Deputy Commander Zhang looked at her and said without hesitation:

"No."

"Why? I am confident in my skills and will not hold you back."

Deputy Commander Zhang said seriously

"Doctor Jiang, your importance is far beyond your imagination. I promised the general that I would protect your safety, so no matter what, I cannot let you be in danger."

Jiang Sheng felt a little depressed. No wonder he agreed so readily at that time. It turned out that he was waiting here.

As more and more soldiers came up the mountain, an hour later, there was a sudden sound of fighting. Jiang Sheng was surprised and said:

"Have the hostages been rescued?"

Liu Sanqi was also very happy

"It should be...it should be...great...she was rescued..."

But he didn’t know where they were placed now, otherwise he really wanted to go find Bai Zhi.

A few people were hiding quietly, when suddenly, a group of people came towards the direction they were hiding.

Yuzhu is a little nervous

"Miss, what should we do?"

Jiang Sheng raised his hand and shushed

"Keep your voice down."
