"Rojas! Take someone in to have a look!" Franco gave an order to Rojas who was on the side.

Ok?

Rojas froze for a moment.

The city gate is wide open and there is no one there. You let me in?I don't want my life?

"My lord, I'm afraid there is a fraud!"

"So I want you to bring someone in to investigate!

"I..."

"What are you, this is an order! I set up artillery to support outside, even if the other party is cheating, I can't withstand the attack of hundreds of artillery!"

You're right, they can't resist.

I am made of iron and can withstand it.

But no amount of mental activity could change the orders of the superiors. Roxas led two hundred soldiers and walked slowly towards the city gate.

Yes, just go.

Rojas almost moved over, just so that he could escape in time if the other party had a trouble.

For less than a mile, Roxas dawdled for nearly a quarter of an hour.

"My lord, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside." Walking to the gate of the city, a soldier looked in, turned his head and said to Rojas.

"Go in and have a look." Rojas also saw it, and said to the soldier who was speaking.

The soldier was a little confused when he heard it, but he still walked in slowly.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle! What's there to be afraid of!?"

Rojas' urging made the soldiers feel helpless, but seeing that there was really no one inside, they simply gritted their teeth and ran inside.It turned out that there was indeed no one inside.

"My lord, come in. No one is inside!"

As he spoke, he kicked open the door of a house by the side of the road, only to find that there was indeed nothing inside.

Now Rojas was relieved, and led the soldiers into the city, searched the nearby houses and alleys for a while, but found that there was still no one there.

"Go and tell Lord Franco that this is an empty city!"

Rojas sent soldiers to report to Franco, while he continued to search house by house.Try to find something of value.

The result disappointed him.

When these people left, they seemed to have taken everything they could, not to mention money and food, and there was not even an iron pot left.

After a while, Franco also entered the city with soldiers and found Rojas.

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know, there is no one in the city now. Not only that, but the other party has taken everything they can."

"Where are you going?" Franco murmured.

"Subordinates don't know."

"I didn't ask you!" Franco glared at Rojas. "You send people out to investigate their whereabouts within a radius of tens of miles. The rebel soldiers plus the men, women, old and children in the city, it is impossible to leave no traces."

"Yes!"

Rojas agreed.He simply took people out of the city and sent people to search around.He found a random direction and took the person there.After walking for about an hour, I saw a village.

There are several naked children playing at the entrance of the village.

Rojas stepped forward, kicked a little boy away, and headed toward the village.

The crying of the child attracted the attention of the adults. A woman came out of the thatched hut, and when she saw Roxas's attire, she ran back in fright.

Rojas laughed wildly, and ordered the soldiers to gather all the men, women, children, and children of the village at the entrance of the village.

"Ask them if they have seen any people from Balanga, if they dare to cover up, kill them all!" Rojas ordered a puppet soldier.

Then the chattering chatter began.

After a while, the conversation stopped.

The puppet army seems to have got the answer.

"My lord! They don't know exactly where they went. But when one of them entered the city the day before yesterday, he found that the people in the city were packing their things. I heard that we were going to call and they were going to run into the mountains."

"What mountain?"

"It should be Mount Natib on the west side."

"Natib Mountain?" Rojas frowned. Could it be that these guys think that hiding in the mountains can escape their siege?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, so he simply took people back to Balanga and reported the matter to Franco.

"Is the news accurate?" Franco asked.

"It should be accurate. I have sent people to the west to look, and there are indeed traces of a large group of people passing by."

"Ah."

Franco made a mistake. If the opponent got into the mountains, his cannons would have little effect.

Thinking of the promise he swore in front of the governor, Franco felt a little bit pained.

Putting down the rebellion within ten days is careless.

"Pass down the order, everyone will leave the city and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress the rebels!"

"Yes!"

Roxas predicted and stopped, but finally agreed.

In fact, Franco is also very helpless, but right now he has no choice but to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress.

On the west side of Natib Mountain, Zheng Zhibao and Lu Jiang are leading soldiers to lay mines. The landmines were sent by Lu Jiang last night. This place is not far from the foot of the mountain, and it is the only way to enter the mountain.According to the plan, the red-haired ghosts will definitely counterattack after losing the battle, and the news that they brought people into the mountain will definitely not be hidden.The red-haired ghost knew that they had entered the mountain, so they would definitely lead people to attack.

So Lu Jiang, who knew Zheng Zhibao's situation, strongly recommended the various landmines brought this time.After he demonstrated a little bit, Zheng Zhibao was conquered by all kinds of powerful mines.

"General Lu, how far can a trip mine like this go?" Zheng Zhibao asked curiously.

"On flat ground, the shrapnel can fly more than ten steps, but there are many trees in the mountains, so the power will be greatly reduced. But don't worry, there are many types of mines brought this time. Like mother mines, flower mines, chain mines, and gravel Thunder, they will definitely let them eat and walk around." Lu Jiang, who is familiar with the power of these mines, said confidently.

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to the scene where the red-haired ghost is blown upside down."

"This is just an appetizer. General Zheng's is the real feast."

Zheng Zhibao nodded and said nothing.

The two men led the soldiers until after lunch before descending from the south side of Mount Natib.

Yes, they didn't go into the mountains at all.Instead, they temporarily stationed in a col on the south side of Natib Mountain.

But in order to deceive others, they did take a large army to the mountains for a walk.

As for whether Franco can find out, it depends on God's will.

"General Zheng, how's it going? Is the red-haired ghost calling?" As soon as Zheng Zhibao came back, Kang Li leaned over and asked.

For some reason, when Zheng Zhibao is not around, he feels that he has lost his backbone, and he always feels uneasy.

"Not yet. Just wait, if you don't come today, come tomorrow."

Zheng Zhibao smiled and said.He was still a little worried before, fearing that Conley's rookies would not be able to defeat these regular Spanish troops, but the firearms brought by Lu Jiang made all his worries disappear.

In the evening, Franco led the soldiers to the foot of the mountain.

"Send someone to see if you are sure you have entered the mountain." Rojas gave an order to his subordinates very winkingly. ,

A dozen soldiers ran back after checking around.

"My lord! There are indeed traces of large troops entering the mountain! These yellow-skinned monkeys must have entered the mountain!"

"Okay! Go into the mountains tomorrow morning!"
