Li Hui saw it clearly and was stunned. He never expected that Zhou Che had such good skills and solved the problem in the blink of an eye.
In fact, although Zhou Che's skills were good, this attack actually took advantage of the terrain to get closer and caught the opponent off guard. When he got close, Zhou Che had already thought of how to kill the opponent. His main focus was a swift and fierce attack.
Attack without giving the other party much time to react.
Rather than saying that he is good at skills, it is better to say that he is good at calculation.
Of course, he is also very skilled. He can leap over treetops and kill enemies with flying skills. This requires physical condition and fighting skills. This is not a big problem for Zhou Che. In fact, even people like Li Hui can do it after training.
Able to leap and fly. Even if you improve your fighting skills, you can do it. But it requires great courage, determination and advance calculation to do it.
Zhou Che restrained the soldier, put a knife blade against his neck and led him quickly uphill. Soon he returned to Li Hui's hiding place. He pushed the soldier to the ground and pushed him with a steel knife.
The center of his eyebrows forced him not to move.
Li Hui raised his thumb and praised in a low voice: "Good skills, clean and neat, eye-popping."
Zhou Che smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Magistrate Li, for the compliment. It's funny."
Li Hui turned to the soldier lying on the ground. The soldier's mouth was full of blood. A tooth was knocked out by Zhou Che's punch and his gums were broken. He looked very embarrassed, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"What's your name? Where are you soldiers and horses from? What's the purpose of coming here? How many soldiers and horses do you have in total? How many of your people are there in the forest?" Li Hui asked in rapid succession.
"Say! Otherwise I will kill you with one knife." Zhou Che shouted.
The soldier was confused for a moment and didn't know which question to answer first. After calming down, he said in a trembling voice: "Spare your life, I'll tell you everything. The villain's name is Sun Qian, we are... the troops of General Yuan of Shouchun..."
…”
"Is the traitor Yuan Zhen?" Li Hui shouted.
"Yes, yes, it's General Yuan... no no... the traitor Yuan Zhen..." the soldier said hurriedly.
"What's the purpose of coming here? How many people are here in total?"
"Two thousand of us came here to grab food. The imperial court wanted to attack us, and General Yuan... Well... Yuan Zhen wanted us to go south to grab food, replenish it, and defend Shouchun to resist the enemy. So he sent a major general to lead two
Thousands of troops came to grab grain. They arrived the night before yesterday and were on the other side of the mountain in Hefei County to harvest wheat and transport it away..." The soldier began to ramble.
"Major General? Who is that?" Li Hui keenly captured the information in his words.
"Oh, it's Yuan Zhen's son, Major General Yuan Jin..."
Li Hui nodded slightly. It seemed that grabbing grain was extremely important to Yuan Zhen, so he sent his son Yuan Jin to lead two thousand troops. This was evident.
"How many of you are in this mountain? Do you plan to rob Hefei County and then continue to climb the mountains to rob the wheat in the east?" Li Hui asked.
"Yes. Originally, Yuan Zhen planned to only plunder the wheat in the north of Hefei County and asked for three days to evacuate. But the Major General said that if he plundered more grain and grass, Shouchun would be more stable. As long as the troops and horses have food, they will not be afraid of the imperial attack.
.So we sent two hundred of us into the mountain to explore the road, check the situation, and control the mountain road. The army will pass through here tonight to grab food from the east." The soldier said hurriedly.
Li Hui nodded slowly. As expected, the situation was roughly the same. However, the number of people in the mountain was not more than a hundred, but two hundred, which was a bit tricky.
"Where are your people? Are they all in the woods?"
"There is a valley in front of us, and there is a pool below. It is too hot, so everyone is resting in the valley. Everyone is there. Lao Chen and I were on guard above the valley, but we didn't expect..." the soldier said.
Li Hui nodded, frowned and pondered. Zhou Che asked the soldier in a low voice: "Are you telling the truth? If there is even half a lie, I will chop you up."
The soldier said: "I swear to God that everything is the truth. If I tell a lie, God will strike with lightning."
Zhou Che nodded, suddenly pulled out the knife, and pierced the soldier's throat. The soldier clutched the blood gushing out of his throat and twisted his body for a moment to die. Li Hui was stunned, Zhou Che's attack was too harsh. Since the man had already confessed, forgive him.
So what about him.
"This guy is a rebel, and he must have the lives of the people of Hefei County in his hands. He cannot be left alone." Zhou Che looked at Li Hui and explained.
Li Hui nodded slightly, as if he didn't need to worry about these matters. Some people really couldn't talk about benevolence and righteousness with him. When he first treated the lake bandit prisoners, Wang Muzhi had already reminded himself that he could not be benevolent as a woman.
After a while, the two of them touched the top of the mountain depression that the soldier told them about. They lay down and looked at it. It was indeed a landslide or a naturally formed depression.
There is a small pool of water at the bottom of the depression near the cliff, which should be formed by alluvial rainwater on the slope.
At this moment, many enemy soldiers were bathing naked in the pool, splashing water on each other, laughing and shouting, enjoying the cool and pleasant time.
Under the shade of the trees next to the waterhole, there are a large number of rebel soldiers. They are sitting or lying under the shade of the trees to rest. Their armor is not neat, and their weapons and weapons are casually thrown aside, lazily avoiding the scorching heat. No
The young man seemed to have just come out of the pool. He was lying on the grass with only his lower clothes on and was fast asleep.
This group of enemy troops obviously couldn't withstand the scorching heat at noon in summer, so they found a place with a pool of water as a resting camp. They all hid in the valley to rest and cool down, waiting for the scorching heat at noon to pass.
Li Hui observed quietly for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Che. When Zhou Che saw the twinkling light in Li Hui's eyes, he knew what he wanted to do.
"County Magistrate Li, do you want to take action?" Zhou Che asked in a low voice.
Li Hui made a gesture and the two of them retreated to the slope.
Li Hui whispered: "Don't you think this is an excellent opportunity? The enemy is unprepared and the opportunity cannot be missed. To control the mountain road, we must deal with them."
Zhou Che breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Everything is left to County Magistrate Li's decision, but I want to remind the magistrate that once we take action, we will alert the enemy. The enemy's large group of soldiers may know the news, and we want to ambush
Their plan will probably fail."
Li Hui frowned and pondered. What Zhou Che said was not unreasonable. Once they take action, it is very likely that the rebel soldiers and horses in the west of Nianzi Mountain will know that there are enemies in the mountain. They must have established some kind of connection with the soldiers and horses in the mountain. This
Will scare off the grass and scare the snake.
"Lieutenant Zhou County, what do you think they would do if they learned that there was an ambush in the mountains?"
Zhou Che said: "I don't know what I am doing, but I am willing to listen to the county magistrate's advice."
Li Huidao: "I think there are only two options. One is to stop coming to take risks and withdraw immediately. The other is, they will come for reinforcements. But I think they will choose to withdraw and not take risks. Because they don't know us
How many people would not risk going into the mountains? If they withdraw, isn't this exactly the result we want to achieve. We are only here to protect the food. If they don't come to snatch it, why should we fight with them? Can we deter them?
Isn't that the best result? But if we don't deal with this group of people, we can't control the mountain road, and the enemy's large army will cross the mountain road tonight and enter our Juchao County railing area. We can't ambush them, so let's come
What’s the point of it?”
Zhou Che nodded and said: "Understood, I will go and pass the order and prepare to attack."
After a stick of incense, all the soldiers and horses of Juchao County were in place on the top of the hillside. They walked step by step from hundreds of steps away to the bottom of the mountain valley. Li Hui even ordered each of them to bite a branch in their mouths to avoid
Make a sound.
The opponent has two hundred soldiers and horses. Once they fight head-on, they will definitely lose. To put it bluntly, Li Hui knows that the people in Juchao County are actually a mob. Only a few dozen of them may have some combat experience, and the rest are refugees.
The common people recruited from the army are just fine at maintaining law and order and patrolling, but if there is a war, it will not be possible at all.
Let alone them, even Li Hui himself, although he has been through a lot, still feels unsure. The confidence to dare to take action is that the other party is defenseless at the moment, and he has a strong liquor burning can in his hand, which gives him a better location.
Advantage.
Everyone has arrived at the top of the mountain depression. The enemies below still know nothing about it. Some are swimming in the pool and some are resting in the shade of the trees. They don't know at all that several numbers of enemies have been explored above the trees and grass above the mountain depression.
Hundreds of heads were staring at them.
Li Hui and Zhou Che looked at each other and nodded slightly. Li Hui reached out and took the burning can of strong liquor from his waist. Jiang Sheng beside him took out the fire fold and got ready. All the Juchao County soldiers and horses were one-on-one.
They formed a pair, one person lit the fire, the other threw it, and the distribution was completed.
Li Hui nodded slightly, Jiang Sheng puffed his mouth and blew the fire stick, and ignited the cloth strip hanging on the mouth of the jar. The cloth strip had absorbed the wine from the jar and was already wet and flammable. After igniting, a faint blue color suddenly appeared.
When the flames come, the heat is scorching.
Li Hui grasped the slim waist of the wine jar, shouted loudly: "Smash it!" and then smashed it down hard.
In an instant, more than a hundred burning cans of spirits were thrown out one after another, and they were smashed down like raindrops. Some people were so nervous that they couldn't even light the cloth. After hearing the order to smash it, they just closed their eyes and smashed it down.
.
The spirit burning can fell down with flames, and exploded after landing, and the wine splashed everywhere. The moment it exploded, the wine was ignited, so what exploded were balls of ignited blue wine fire. Bang bang
Amidst the crashing sound, a fire suddenly ignited on the ground below.
The enemies below heard the noise. They raised their heads and looked towards the hillside above, and saw countless flaming objects crashing down. They were stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until those things fell down, hit them, hit the ground around them, and burst into a large amount of flames that they realized they had been attacked.
However, the ground above them and around them was already full of fire.
In an instant, the enemy soldiers screamed and screamed as if a pot had exploded. They jumped around, trying to get rid of the ubiquitous flames, screaming loudly and slapping desperately with their hands. However, their palms
If you slap it, your palms will be stained with flames. Rolling around on the ground will be useless.
Those who were neatly dressed were fine, but those soldiers who were shirtless trying to cool off were even worse. The flames burned on their exposed skin, causing them to scream loudly and roll all over the ground.
What's even worse is that several people were hit on the head. The wine can was cracked on the top of their head, and the wine was spilled and flowed down their necks. But wherever it flowed, the flames spread everywhere, making them desperate and miserable.
