208. Captured alive
Since there is still room for maneuver, everyone will naturally not easily hurt people's lives, and it is best to capture them alive.
Du Xinghuai led the team up the mountain quietly, and the bandits on the mountain were immersed in sweet dreams, and even the people standing guard at the gate of the mountain were drowsy, and they did not force themselves to pay attention to their surroundings.
No way, they're used to being lazy.
Because the people on the mountain are all farmers, even if the county order brings troops to suppress the bandits, they do not dare to move the real thing.
Every time the bandits are petty fights, and over time, the bandits on the mountain have lost their vigilance, and most of the people standing guard and patrolling on the mountain are doing face-saving work, shaking two circles at will and then going back.
Such a lazy style made Du Xinghuai and his party very relaxed on the mountain, and they didn't spend much effort at all, and soon arrived at the bandits' den on the mountain.
"Wait a minute---"
Du Xinghuai saw the sentry tower that was built high, a little far away, and vaguely saw a figure.
Du Xinghuai was worried that their whereabouts would be exposed, causing a commotion among the bandits on the mountain, so he ordered everyone to stop.
The military order is like a mountain, although Du Xinghuai is only a temporary commander, but as long as they follow Du Xinghuai for a day, this task is not over, and Du Xinghuai's order is the highest level.
Everyone held their breath and stared, found a more hidden place in place, and carefully observed.
"My lord, the sentry seems to be asleep. ”
Among the soldiers and horses brought by Du Xinghuai, there was a person with good eyesight, looking at the sentry platform from a distance, and the bandits who should have been standing guard seriously seemed to be leaning on the pillar, drowsy.
"Are you sure?
Du Xinghuai didn't look so good, that is, he just saw someone above, and as for whether the other party was awake or asleep, he couldn't really see it.
"Nine times out of ten. ”
After all, it's a task, and the other party didn't say ten out of ten, that is, he roughly expressed that he was quite sure.
"Whoever has a good head, throw a stone and try it. ”
After listening to the other party's words, Du Xinghuai opened his mouth and asked in a low voice if it was better to lose something.
If you test it with a small stone, even if the other person is not asleep and does not see people, most of the time, you will only feel that it is your own delusion.
"I'll ---"
Among the team brought by Du Xinghuai, there were really one or two who were good at throwing things, and after discussing it, several people decided to let the person with the greatest strength try it.
After all, they are a little far away from the cottage, even if their accuracy is good, without that strength, everything is in vain.
In order to try to find out whether the people above were asleep as soon as possible, Du Xinghuai directly gave up his leading position and asked the other party to come forward directly to try, which was more certain.
The other party took a small stone on the ground casually, and after taking the stone to test the position of several brothers one after another, he determined the best position, took a deep breath, and threw the stone in his hand hard. Then he quickly lowered his head and concealed his whereabouts.
Du Xinghuai watched the stone go all the way forward with bated breath, and smashed directly near the platform, and after waiting for a long time, Du Xinghuai looked at the people above and still didn't have any movement, and confirmed that the person was really asleep.
The two people who came to the cottage yesterday are different from everyone in the cottage, different from their laziness and lack of vigilance, as early as when Du Xinghuai was close to the cottage about two hundred meters away, the two of them vigilantly noticed that something was wrong, got up directly, and went directly to the cottage without alarming anyone.
It's also a coincidence, when the person who threw a stone to test whether the person on the platform was asleep and stood up, he happened to be looked at by the two of them, and the two immediately realized that this was Du Xinghuai.
"Go and wake everyone up. ”
One of them said.
"Good. ”
The other nodded without hesitation, and went directly to wake everyone up.
However, in order to prevent casualties, the two estimated the time, slowed down, and slowly walked into the cottage.
If it weren't for the fact that killing Du Xinghuai directly in front of everyone might attract people's suspicions, the two of them would have solved the problem directly, so why should they mix into the cottage and fish in troubled waters.
Du Xinghuai and others, who didn't know that the people in the cottage were about to wake up, made sure that the people standing guard were not awake, suppressed the light mood in their hearts, walked forward quickly, and before the people in the sentry woke up and noticed, they directly tied up the people and stuffed a rag into their mouths casually, lest they wake up the people in the cottage with a voice.
"My lord, they're all tied up. ”
After making sure that there were no other people at the gate of the cottage, someone stepped forward to report to Du Xinghuai.
"Very well, we continue to ......"
Du Xinghuai just wanted to say that let all the people continue to move forward, and before the thieves came to their senses, they directly tied up all the people, who knows, at this time, the whole cottage was actually boiling.
The noisy sound made Du Xinghuai quickly realize that the bandits in the entire cottage woke up!!
I don't know why the people in the cottage still woke up without alarming anyone, Du Xinghuai, according to instinct, directly issued an order to all the soldiers, "Quick, come forward immediately, and tie up all the people who haven't got the weapons yet!!"
They have some scruples because the bandits are farmers, but the bandits on the mountain are not necessarily, and they must be captured between everyone getting their weapons.
"Yes!!"
Everyone replied loudly, divided their labor, each found a direction, and caught the bandits who had not even changed their clothes neatly one by one, and then tied them up and brought them back directly to their team.
It's a pity that no matter how fast Du Xinghuai and their actions were, without being familiar with the mountains, everyone could only capture a small number of people alive and take them away, and a large part of them still changed their clothes and brought weapons when the officers and soldiers arrived.
Unwilling to clash with the bandits, everyone had no choice but to give up the idea of stepping forward and arresting them, and quickly retreated into their ranks.
"Who is standing guard today? Who is patrolling? Everyone has come to the cottage, and no one has announced it. ”
"That is to say, if it weren't for the relatives of the big boss who got up early and found out that something was wrong, no one would know what was going on when we were served in a pot. ”
"That's it, it's ......"
Everyone complained word by word, but they didn't notice that the people they were complaining about were not because they didn't want to be notified, but before they noticed, all the people were captured alive, tied up, and returned a rag by the way, and there was no chance to report the news!!
