The heavy rain has just stopped, but rain powder is still falling from the sky. The air is full of moisture, and every breath feels cool in the chest and lungs.
Xiaolin and Xiangu walked quickly through the mountains and forests with their capable soldiers. They took off the crossbow strings from the powerful crossbows on their backs. It was very troublesome. The crossbow strings made of beef tendon would expand after absorbing enough water.
, loose, so I can only wrap it in oil paper and put it in my arms, and then take it out for use when it is in the right place.
I didn’t see anyone who was afraid, because everyone just went to be robbers for themselves. What do bandits have to be afraid of in the mountains and forests? Although the change of identities was a bit sudden, the Xiang army was very happy, because the general said that half of the captured
To the brothers themselves, in their view, this is a process of making money. Money is hard to make in this world, and Xiangjun has no way to make money. The money earned by helping the general in business belongs to the general.
, unlike this time, the money earned is all yours.
Liang Ji was so happy that he ran tirelessly on the muddy path with his two long legs. He was closely followed by eight soldiers, each of whom was almost armed to the teeth. Except for the light leather armor and ring-headed sword,
Each person also has a short knife at his waist and a long gun in his hand. The difference from the long gun in the army is that its head is made of fine steel and the handle is more than two feet longer than an ordinary long gun.
They are all men from the mountains. Walking on the mountain trails is a piece of cake. The cow-eared hemp shoes under their feet grip the ground tightly. They have walked on such trails for an unknown amount of time.
It is said that Liu Bei's white-eared soldiers were selected from the Shu people who were accustomed to crossing mountains. It is said that no one can fight in the mountains. Yun Zheng really hoped that he would have such an army under his command, but it was a pity that he had no knowledge of military affairs.
Knowing nothing about training, the only available method is to let them fight continuously and finally select the best ones.
Yunzheng himself was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and was far behind. The 600 people he led were all dressed in the same way, holding weapons and carrying the bamboo basket. He was very much looking forward to Brother Zhao Sanpao stealing the stolen goods.
Be able to fill these baskets.
The road became more and more difficult to walk. The road Xiaolin and Xiangu took was not called a road at all. It was very slippery when stepping on the leaves of green plants. Yun Zheng didn't know how many times he fell down and was covered in mud and water.
.
At first, I could barely keep up with the large troops, but later on, as a half-hearted mountain person, I couldn't compare with people who actually walked in Sichuan on their feet.
Yun Zheng once again rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to carry him away with a sliding pole, gritted his teeth and followed behind, looking extremely embarrassed, but the soldiers felt that the general who was covered in mud looked better than the clean general like the young master in the painting.
The Lord is pleasing to the eye.
Covering his head and rushing forward, he suddenly bumped into the back of the soldier in front. He was quickly supported by two soldiers before he walked to the front to watch. Xiaolin succeeded. Three corpses appeared in front of him, one of which had a crossbow arrow stuck in it.
, as if falling from a tall tree, their bodies twisted unnaturally. The heads of the other two corpses were almost split in half, and their brains were still flowing slowly.
This is Zhao Sanpao's first sentry post, one light and two dark.
"We are approaching the den of thieves. Take off your backpack and start preparing for battle."
Yun Zheng didn't say much, and neither did the soldiers. They all took off their backpacks, pulled out their swords, and moved forward slowly. Yun Zheng looked carefully, and found that these guys were not as well-behaved as quails on weekdays.
They have red eyebrows and green eyes, and they look very tough. Of course, this does not rule out the fact that their faces are distorted due to nervousness.
There are many corpses in front of them. Zhao Gongshan only has this steep road to climb, so Zhao Sanpao's scouts are basically on this side. These bandits with low martial arts skills can't find Xiao Lin and Cang without any precautions.
Er and their figures. Luming Cave is right in front of them, but Zhao Sanpao is still very quiet, which means that until now, they don't know the news of the army's invasion.
This time Zhang Fangping was very cautious and adopted Yun Zheng's suggestion. When setting out, he did not say that he was going to suppress bandits at all. Instead, he said that he would be stationed in Dujiangyan to prepare for big floods. The purpose of the operation was not explained until before departure.
And they adopted a cruel method of sitting together. One person was lost and ten people were sitting together. They would be beheaded. Even if there were people from all over the world like Song Jiang in the Yongxing army, there would be no time to report the news, because Yun Zheng had already set off an hour ago.
Already.
Xiao Lin suddenly appeared in front of Yun Zheng and said in a low voice: "The outposts and hidden stakes here have been pulled out, but what about the suspension bridge in front? If we can't cross the suspension bridge, we won't be able to get into Luming Cave.
I'm very lucky today. The boss of the Zhao family is preparing full-moon wine for his little grandson. All the bandit leaders are here, and several bosses from Woniu Mountain are also here. In other words, if you get it right, you can make a great contribution and conquer the nearby area.
All the bandits have been wiped out in one fell swoop. Similarly, their strength has also increased several times. You can make up your own mind."
"What idea are you coming up with? You have to shoot when the arrow is on the string. Peng Jiu, put on the clothes of a thief. If you can get through, you can get through. If you can't, then attack by force." Yun Zheng knew that at this time, no matter whether the idea was good or bad, it was better than hesitating.
Many, a general can be hesitant behind his back, but in front of his subordinates, he must have strong decision-making power. If he is hesitant himself, it will destroy morale to a great extent. In the Song Dynasty, courage still determined the direction of the war.
era.
Peng Jiu, Xiao Lin, Xian Er, and Liang Ji all put on thieves' clothes. The four of them needed to deceive the guards crossing the suspension bridge. If they could not be deceived, they would attack by force and hold the bridge head to let the large troops pass.
Peng Jiu's local dialect is flawless, so it would be best for him to take charge.
As long as people are forced into a desperate situation, there will always be some shining points. For example, Peng Jiu, who was very afraid of death, seemed very determined at this time. He put on a thief's raincoat, hummed obscene words and staggered on.
When passing the suspension bridge, I threw a piece of yam to the dead body in the stone house. After laughing, I took the other three people to the other side of the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge is not long, only less than two hundred steps, but underneath is a ravine more than thirty feet deep, which now seems unfathomable after being shrouded in the mist after the rain.
Yun Zheng had ordered all the remaining crossbows to hang their strings. The lethality of the crossbows was still there two hundred steps away. Listening to Peng Jiu laughing and joking with the bandits in the mist, Yun Zheng couldn't help but grasp the soil in his hands.
By the sound, Peng Jiu and the others had already walked more than half the distance.
Yun Zheng waved his hand, and while the clouds and mist blocked the view of the bandits on the opposite side, all the gang members started to attack. Han Niu crossed Yun Zheng and was the first to step on the suspension bridge. Although there was cold clouds and mist to breathe, Yun Zheng felt that his throat was still full.
He did a great job. This was different from the Yuanshan period. At that time, no matter whether the Tubo people won or lost, he had no burden in his heart. But this time it was different. The people who launched the attack included not only his friends and brothers, but also others.
Your subordinates must not make any mistakes.
Boss Zhao is very happy today. Yesterday's banquet was very successful. Not to mention his eight-pound fat boy, the third brother alone was able to win over the hearts of eleven cottages at one banquet. This is very rare.
, there are twelve serial dock water thieves on Taihu Lake, there is Heifeng Village on the green forest road in Funiu Mountain, and Taihang Mountain is full of thieves. Now everyone who has been passed down by the Pai Gang has a connection with each other.
That mother-in-law Liu Ningjing is right. Who said that only people named Zhao can sit in this beautiful country? I am also named Zhao, so there is nothing wrong with taking it over and sitting in it.
The mother-in-law of the Maitreya religion knows many magic methods. I participated in the Paradise of Paradise for half the night with her last night. It was really good to wake up refreshed in the morning. I called my second brother to try it together tonight. Damn it, you dare to laugh.
I’m not a hero? Who in the world doesn’t know that my three brothers are called Zhao Sanpao!
The third child is a scholar, so he can't save his face, so he loses a lot of fun. He won't continue his marriage even if his wife dies. He has been a monk for three to five years. He probably doesn't like the lavish women in the mountains. When the rain stops, he will go on the next trip.
Shan gets him a daughter from a wealthy family, and if he continues like this, he will really become a monk. If Liu Ningjing, a woman from Wanxian County, is bewitched into becoming a monk, it will be very bad.
The Maitreya sect's petty quarrels are in vain. Wang Ze of Beizhou is now rebelling. The third child said that he is seeking death. No need for the third child to give a reason. I already know that he is seeking death. Liu Ningjing, this woman, treats everyone else as a fool.
?
Boss Zhao has to inspect the cottages every day. This is his habit. His three brothers are in the business of losing their heads. There is nothing wrong with being careful. I heard that Zhang Fangping, who is now an official in Chengdu Prefecture, is a notoriously cruel official.
, when he first took office in Yongzhou, he took it as a pleasure to exterminate bandits, so he had to be on guard against them.
Clouds and mist were lingering in the mountains. Boss Zhao punched the void twice. The sound of the fists breaking through the wind was still fierce. The clouds and mist in front of him were rolled endlessly by the wind of the fists. His strength was still there. It would not be a big problem for him to dominate for another twenty years.
Boss Zhao suddenly smelled the smell of blood. As a thief for many years, he was most familiar with this sweet and fishy smell. He had tasted it more than once. Countless souls died under the Nine Ring Sword.
A long sword appeared from the clouds like a poisonous snake. Boss Zhao slapped the sword away with his palm against the blade. He glanced at the suspension bridge in his busy schedule. The suspension bridge was shaking violently, and weapons were also coming from the clouds.
The sound of impact.
Just when he was stunned for a moment, a crossbow arrow was nailed to his thigh. Boss Zhao howled and punched both sides roughly with his fists. He knew that he had been surrounded by several people, and he hit with his fists.
On one hammer, the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, while the other fist was cut off by a horizontal knife.
Boss Zhao didn't care what happened to his hands. Although he was called an iron fist, after all, those two fists were still made of flesh. He just wanted to avoid the sword that was heading straight for his throat. The officers and soldiers were coming, and he had to tell his second and third brothers.
be prepared.
"The officers and soldiers are here!" Boss Zhao finally yelled out. He held the sword firmly against his shoulder. Xiao Lin's sword edge was stuck in the pipa bone and he couldn't pull it out for a while... (To be continued)
