Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the night of the second day arrived.
The entire Qinghe County was silent under the night sky.
"Young hero Lu, we've gathered enough manpower and are ready to move out.”
Arrester Zhao Hu came to inform Lu Sheng.
"Good!"
Lu Sheng nodded and followed Zhao Hu to the Qinghe County Drill Ground.
On the drill ground, County Officer Xu stood on a high platform. Below him were orderly rows of soldiers, holding torches, carrying long swords and bows.
There were four to five hundred people.
These were all the officers and constables of Qinghe County.
"Young hero Lu, you're here."
County Lieutenant Xu saw Lu Sheng and immediately stepped forward.
Then, he introduced Lu Sheng to the people behind him.
These people were all experts he had invited, and their strength was not ordinary.
"Greetings, Young Master Lu."
"I heard that Young Hero Lu killed the Blood Vajra. He's really a young hero!”
"That's right, thank you Young Master Lu for removing a disaster for our Nanyu County!”
Everyone had heard County Lieutenant Xu mention Lu Sheng, so they cupped their hands and spoke respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect.
Lu Sheng nodded in return.
"Now that everyone is here, let's not chat anymore. Let's set off. We must break through Black Wind Mountain in one fell swoop tonight!”
County Lieutenant Xu ordered with a swift and decisive tone.
Following that, everyone and the army headed in the direction of Black Wind Mountain and ran out of the city!
It was about twenty miles from Qinghe County to Black Wind Mountain.
However, the army arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain in half an hour.
It could be seen that these soldiers had all trained in martial arts and had a certain foundation.
"Young Hero Lu, Li Jun, Li Bing, He Jiu, follow me into Black Wind Mountain and execute the beheading operation.”
"Zhao Hu, wait here. When you see the signal flare, lead the army and attack immediately!”
County Officer Xu quickly made the arrangements.
Lu Sheng and the others nodded.
This was the plan that they had discussed earlier.
A group of them sneaked into Black Wind Mountain from the cliff behind the mountain and executed the beheading tactic. They killed the leader of Black Wind Mountain and then used the signal flare to attack and take him down in one fell swoop!
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to break through Black Wind Mountain.
Even if they did, the government would suffer heavy losses!
County Officer Xu led the way and led Lu Sheng and the others through a rugged mountain path to the cliff at the back of the mountain.
"Everyone, if you climb up from here, you can directly sneak into Black Wind Mountain.”
County Officer Xu said.
There were layers of patrols around Black Wind Mountain. It was not easy to sneak in.
He had already investigated.
Because ordinary people couldn't climb up the cliff at the back of the mountain, there weren't many mountain bandits patrolling and guarding it.
Even if there were, there were only a few.
Therefore, they planned to climb the cliff and sneak in.
After all, ordinary people couldn't climb up and it was very dangerous. However, for people like them who had martial arts, it wasn't a big problem.
Immediately, everyone climbed up the steep mountain wall and quickly climbed up with the help of the bulge on the mountain wall.
The cliff was hundreds of meters high. It took them about ten minutes to climb up.
However, at this moment.
Lu Sheng's ears twitched slightly. His expression froze as he said in a low voice,"Be careful, there might be an ambush up there!”
After cultivating Muscle Tendon Changing, Bone Forging, and Marrow Cleansing, his mental strength had improved, and his five senses had become much sharper.
On the cliff, although there were no footsteps or fire from the patrolling Mountain Bandits, Lu Sheng could hear the slight movement of grass and the sound of breathing.
It made him guess that there might be an ambush up there.
"What?"
When County Officer Xu and the others heard this, their expressions changed.
If there was really an ambush up there, wouldn't that mean that their operation was exposed?
"Are we going to retreat?"
One of them said.
However, if there was really an ambush up there, what if they retreated now and the rolling stones fell from above and shot arrows?
"Young hero Lu, are you sure there's an ambush up there?”
County Lieutenant Xu looked at Lu Sheng with a serious expression and asked.
"I'm not sure."
Lu Sheng shook his head gently.
He wasn't 100% sure if there was anyone up there.
"Let's go. Even if there are people, we don't have to be afraid with our strength.”
County Officer Xu thought for a moment and said.
With Lu Sheng around, he believed that even if there was an ambush, he could deal with it.
Unless Black Wind Mountain had hidden everyone at the back of the mountain.
This was obviously impossible.
Everyone nodded and quickly climbed the last section to the back of the mountain.
Just as they steadied themselves, they immediately saw a group of densely packed figures in the darkness in front of the back mountain.
"Hahaha, the bandit chief is indeed a master of foresight. He guessed that the government was going to attack our Black Wind Mountain and might have sneaked in from the back cliff!”
A loud, rough laugh rang out in the dark night.
"Hu hu hu-"
Torches were lit up one by one.
Lu Sheng looked over and saw that there were nearly a hundred of them. They were holding knives, spears, bows, and arrows, and they were facing them.
"It's you, Dwarf Tiger!"
County Officer Xu immediately recognized the leader.
It was the Third Leader of Black Wind Mountain, Zhao Tieshan.
Because of his short and thin figure, he was as ferocious as a tiger and was nicknamed Dwarf Tiger.
"I was wondering who it was. So it was County Lieutenant Xu.”
"I didn't expect you to personally infiltrate my Black Wind Mountain!？”
"You really don't want to take the path to heaven, but you're throwing yourself into hell!”
"Today, I, Zhao Tieshan, will make sure that County Lieutenant Xu and the rest of you will never return!”
Zhao Tieshan also recognized County Lieutenant Xu and said with a sinister smile.
Then, he waved his hand and shouted angrily,"Release the arrows!"”
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The arrows that were ready to be fired shot out in unison, covering the sky and the earth.
"Zhao Tieshan, do you dare to kill an official and rebel?”
County Officer Xu roared like a lion. The sound waves spread out and were deafening.
The next moment, he drew the long saber at his waist and waved it wildly to block the arrows.
His entire body shot out, charging towards the Dwarf Tiger.
Lu Sheng and the others didn't hesitate either. They blocked the arrows and charged at the Mountain Bandits.
Since there was an ambush, they would end the battle quickly!
Although the Mountain Bandits in front of them had a good posture and had the advantage in numbers, they were not afraid.
They were all experts in the Body Refinement Realm.
As for these bandits, other than the Dwarf Tiger, Zhao Tieshan, and a few others, they had some strength.
Most of the others were lackeys who had hardly cultivated. Their strength was at the second or third level of body tempering.
"Kill!"
The Dwarf Tiger roared and started fighting with County Officer Xu.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Lu Sheng and the others rushed into the group of bandits like wolves in a flock of sheep.
Once these Mountain Bandits were close to them, they basically had no strength to retaliate and fell down like grass being cut.
