Chapter 689 To rob the emperor, the food and grass to the mouth
The longlu mountain at the intersection of Hedong Road Longde Mansion and Hebei West Road has dark cliffs and dark cliffs. It is quite strange and strange, but you can see trees, birds, and pools of green water. Because of its beautiful scenery, it is also a good place for sightseeing.
place.
But among the tall pine trees on the mountain ridge and the overgrown weeds, countless pairs of eyes flashing fiercely were revealed. At this time, in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain, several groups of strongmen and bandits had already been quietly ambushing them.
Not long ago, spies among the thieves came to report that a huge convoy escorting grain, grass and clothing, escorted by more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, was almost passing through here.
"The one who got into your mother's business is that you guys changed the route, thinking that you can avoid the eyes and ears set by me? After taking away a large amount of supplies, you also taught us to eat happily. Let's see how you dog officials can feed us.
how many people?"
There was a strongman leader who fiercely took a piece of grass stalk in his mouth and smiled ferociously, but it was none other than Tian Hu's third brother, Tian Biao.
At this time, another strongman leader named Miao Cheng leaned over Tian Biao. With a worried look on his face, he said hesitantly: "Third brother, although we have snooped, we know that the army's food trucks will pass here.
, but Longlu Mountain is located at the junction of Hebei and Hedong, and it is not our territory. There are many officers and soldiers protecting the food. If the soldiers and horses of the Hebei Military Division are alerted, we will not be able to deal with it...
.”
Tian Biao glared at Miao Cheng fiercely, and then cursed: "You are also a figure among the Green Forest Bandits, but you are also such a puss! The previous one was just because of Xiao Tang's way, and you were defeated on Mian Shang
After a while, you were frightened. The soldiers and horses led by Xiao Tang were able to fight, but how did we kill the eggless Qiu Badiu in Hedong, but you forgot to remove his armor? Official
Most of the generals who work in the army are afraid of death and the soldiers are cowardly. If they are all capable, how can they still allow our rebellion to succeed?
Wealth is sought in danger, and power is fought for at the risk of life. Since we are willing to kill ourselves and fight to the end with the officers and soldiers, how can we not experience some dangers? Just shut up your mouth and follow me to fight. How can the soldiers transferred from the capital be able to
What's going on? Let's just chase the soldiers from Hedong and kill these Gan Qiuba until they are terrified!"
Tian Biao was still scolding, and there was a boy next to him who was somewhat similar to him. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he also said in a dark voice: "What dad said is that after the officers and soldiers robbed this large sum of food and grass,
It will also make the people in Tongtian County panic. There are still many soldiers and horses available in the mountains and forests of other state capitals. At that time, we will gather people and horses to break the city and then chop Xiaotang to death to avenge his second uncle. We are not just Hedong.
The leader of the Green Forest Bandits will cause a stir in the Green Forest and attract other gangsters and copycat strongmen to join us. If our Tian family dominates the east of the river and builds a country for fun, what can the emperor of Bianjing do?"
His only son also taught Tian Biao how to listen. He also smiled ferociously and said, "Fuck, this is the only person worthy of being my Tian Biao's seed!"
Originally, Tian Hu knew that he was just a hunter. The reason why he was so rampant that the officers and soldiers did not dare to take the lead was because he was good at gathering desperadoes, and then relied on his momentum to kill the weak officers and soldiers in Hedong. Now after a disastrous defeat,
It is inevitable that the strong men under his command will not have their own thoughts to protect themselves. A few days ago, Tian Hu suddenly heard that the imperial court had ordered the Imperial Guards to march in batches to Hedong to join forces with Xiao and Tang. Tian Hu felt increasingly anxious, but he also
It suddenly occurred to me that the greater the number of the Forbidden Army, the greater the demand for supplies and logistics. As a rule, the government troops must go to the surrounding prefectures to collect food for military supplies when they attack the rebels. In addition, there are still a large number of refugees in Tongdan County.
To raise them, the material supplies required are definitely not small.
When Tian Biao heard that his eldest brother planned to seize this considerable amount of grain supplies while the government troops went to the surrounding prefectures, he immediately patted his chest and volunteered, and even taught his son Tian Shi to follow suit.
He set up an ambush to intercept the officers and soldiers escorting the carriage.
Tian Biao had been wreaking havoc with Tian Hu for many years, and he had harmed many virtuous women like his elder brother. However, Tian Biao had a habit of throwing them away after playing, or if he was in a good mood, he would reward his brothers to play with them and torture them, so he also
He had no intention of leaving any beautiful woman to be his wife like Tian Hu, so the only son Tian Biao recognized was Tian Shi.
In the Song Dynasty, a man could marry a wife and start a family at the age of fifteen. In order for his son to stand out among thieves in the green forest, Tian Biao abducted a young girl a year or two ago and taught Tian Shi what to do to that innocent girl.
The man then led him to kill people, set fires, and invade towns and plunder villages. Under his father's "education" step by step, Tian Shi also killed people as easily as Tian Biao, and he was still at his age.
, now there are more innocent women whose innocence he has defiled than his father...
Tian Biao felt a little relieved when he saw that his only son looked exactly like the energetic and ruthless person he had been more than ten years ago.
At this time, the vehicle escorting the grain, grass, clothing and other materials escorted by the officers and soldiers had arrived nearby. Behind and behind were the guards of the Forbidden Army, most of whom were infantry. Most of the soldiers followed the vehicles in a long snake formation, meandering along the quiet mountain road.
Just as Tian Biao expected, this group of officers and soldiers took the Hebei West Road to the north of Xiangzhou, and then turned west when they reached the border of Cizhou. This way they could avoid the border of Longde Prefecture where bandits in the east of the river were frequently active. Therefore, Tian Biao was in
Observing secretly, we found that the officers and soldiers were obviously very lax. It seemed that in order not to delay the journey, the soldiers exploring the road in front did not conduct careful reconnaissance, and the soldiers guarding the left and right did not send advance sentries to inspect the dense forests on both sides.
What's more, even if the officers and soldiers were on guard and carefully inspected along the way, Hedong Road was already mountainous. Many of the bandits under Tian Biao's command were bandits who were accustomed to walking in the mountains and deep forests. The mountains around Longlu Mountain were densely forested, and the woods were densely forested.
It was overgrown with weeds. Tian Biao and thousands of thieves were hiding in the dense forests of the valley. Even if they walked nearby, there was no chance of discovering them. Not to mention that even if they were to conduct reconnaissance along the road, they could only detect the movements of the grass and dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.
After all, it was impossible to search the mountain first and then pass through with peace of mind. The ambush where Tian Biao led the bandits was still a certain distance from the mountain road. Even if the generals leading the army were sophisticated, it would be difficult for them to notice that there were bandits in the mountains who had already prepared pocket formations.
What's more, the two brothers Tian Hu and Tian Biao also knew that according to some customs when the army went on an expedition, whenever soldiers and horses were transferred from Bianjing to the local state capital, they would have their own state government to supply rations when they passed by.
The army did not enter the border of Hedong from Longde Mansion, but after listening to the sentry reports, they could guess where the soldiers and horses would take with just a little thought.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were ambushed without knowing it, Tian Biao sneered and said: "The eighty-eight generations of our ancestors have taught me to wait for two days again, but this gang of killers finally came, wait for us
After robbing this batch of food and grass, let's see what Xiao Tang's fellow is using to fill the bellies of his officers and soldiers, and what he is using to feed the poor men and women who have fled to Tongdi County!"
It's just that although Tian Shi followed his father to sweep villages and did a lot of robbing and looting, those who died in his hands were either some unarmed and kind people, or some government soldiers who knelt down to beg for mercy, and more than 5,000 people.
A large brigade of officers and soldiers were fighting head-on, but Tian Shi had never experienced it before. Now seeing those uniformed Imperial Guards getting closer and closer, Tian Shi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He swallowed and whispered to Tian Biao: "Dad
!”
Tian Biao, who was accustomed to being a desperate murderer, was very calm. He estimated the best time to attack and whispered to Tian Shi: "My son, just follow me and fight by my side later. Wait for your knife."
If you drink the blood of officers and soldiers a few times, you can be considered a true man!"
Seeing that his father still looked fearless and defiant, Tian Shi's nervous mood calmed down a lot, and he nodded excitedly. Tian Biao then said to the leader beside him: "Tell the brothers to recruit and let go."
Be smarter, first seize the advantageous location, don't alert the guys, let the officers and soldiers in front go over first, then block them and kill them, there are other leaders in front and behind who have set up ambushes, these Gan Qiu Ba can't escape!"
The leaders of the thieves also took orders according to Tian Biao's wishes. After a while, he saw the soldiers in the front row of the soldiers, carriages and battles had passed fifty or sixty steps away. His eyes suddenly shrank in the sky, and he put his hands in his hands again
He raised his long knife high and shouted loudly: "Kill!!!"
