Chapter 14 Exterminate the bandits and set foot in the cottage

At first, Xiang Sheng was reluctant: "Uncle, why did you keep me here, you should let me go north with you." ”

Xiang Yu replied: "Sheng'er, the future of going north is slim, it is too dangerous, if one day, my uncle unfortunately dies, it is also very possible!"

"Isn't it better to have someone close to you to take care of it? Uncle, I'm your closest person, isn't it me that you should trust the most?"

"Silly boy, of course!"

"Then why are you ......?"

"On the one hand, this is to protect you, on the other hand, it is precisely because you are my closest person that I left this strategic place to you, you must guard him for me, don't let the barbarians enter my Chu country, and move every grass and tree in my Chu country, do you understand?"

Xiang Sheng smiled at this time: "It's me who blames my uncle for his hard work, thank you uncle for your trust!"

Xiang Yu nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Xiang Yu was thinking about how to get enough money to recruit troops and buy horses on horseback.

Suddenly, Lin Fu, who was exploring the way ahead, rushed towards Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu was a little puzzled. , asked, "What happened?"

"Back to the king, there is a gang of thieves in front of me who are asking for money to buy roads. Wait for the minister to lead a team of soldiers and horses to destroy this gang of bandits!"

"Wait!" Xiang Yu stopped Lin Fu, who was about to ride his horse forward: "You said, this bandit is a way to make quick money, shouldn't they be quite rich." ”

Lin Fu suddenly realized and said, "The king is wise! The minister understands, so the minister will go and find out!"

Lin Fu led a small group of rangers to ride forward, while Xiang Yu and his party led the large army to move forward. When Xiang Yu and the others rushed to the bandits, only two thieves were tied up and knelt on the ground, Lin Fu put the knife on the necks of the two of them, and asked loudly: "Say! Where is your stockade!"

One of the thieves said with a sad face: "Back to the general's words, the villain does not have a village, but just wanders around and robs the road, robbing some money for daily use, and I hope the general will see it!"

Lin Fu snorted coldly: "Hmph! It's not honest! Just now I heard the guy who was killed calling you the master of the second village! But you said that there is no cottage, don't you treat me as a monkey! Say it quickly!"

When Xiang Yu saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and with a wave of his knife and backhand, he beheaded the bandit leader's companion, and the bandit leader's body couldn't help but tremble when he saw this, and a breath of urine came out.

Lin Fu also shouted loudly in agreement: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be slashed like this thief, you have to think clearly." ”

The bandit leader also trembled: "The general spared his life, it's not that the villain refuses to say, it's really the big village master's amazing force and ruthlessness, the villain was confused for a while, so he did such a wrong thing, General Wanwang spared the little life, and the villain is willing to lead the way for the general and make the merit wrong!"

The bandit leader clasped his head and begged Lin Fu bitterly.

Lin Fu looked at Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu pondered for a while, and asked: "I'll ask you a few questions, you can tell me carefully, if there is any truth, I want you to be the ghost of the knife right now!"

The bandit kowtowed like pounding garlic: "General, if you ask, the villain will know everything, and he will say everything!" ”

"Let me ask you, are there many thieves on that mountain? There are weapons, you say that the bandit leader is amazingly powerful, how is it better than me, a general?"

The bandit groaned for a while: "Back to the general's words, there are more than 500 bandits on the mountain, but half of them are the family members and the old, weak, sick and disabled, and have no combat ability, although I am the second village master, but I have no rights on the mountain, all things on the mountain, are still the master of the village, as for the force of our master of the village, according to the villain's humble opinion, I am afraid it is stronger than the general." ”

"What?" Lin Fu was furious, "You dare to underestimate me?" said that, he was about to kill the bandit leader with a knife.

"Lin Fu is slow!" Xiang Yu stopped Lin Fu's movements. He continued to say to the bandits, "Show us the way and show us where the stockade is, and I will let you go." ”

The bandit was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Is what the general said true?"

Xiang Yu nodded: "But you'd better not say any tricks, otherwise you'll have to move your head right now!"

"That's nature, that's nature!" the bandit replied.

"Lead the way!"

"Hey!"

The thief turned around and pushed away a handful of tall wild grass behind him, only to see that there was a sheep intestine path inside, which was really difficult for ordinary people to find if they didn't pay attention, and even Xiang Yu and others were stunned.

The meeting and the others slowly followed the bandit, and Lin Fu knew how to bend the bow and arrow, aiming the arrow at the thief's leg, ready to prevent the thief from escaping.

The road is getting more and more difficult to walk, fortunately, Xiang Yu and the others are riding on horseback, otherwise this kind of road is really sinful. However, the thieves were not treated so well, so they could only walk on the rugged road from afar, occasionally turning their heads as if resting, but only saw Lin Fu bending his bow and arrows. I can only turn my head stupidly and continue to lead the way honestly.

The road was very long, Xiang Yu was swaying on horseback, and the sun was extraordinarily bright today, Xiang Yu felt a little drowsy.

Sudden change!

I saw an arrow swishing from a distance, and it fluttered! The head of the bandit leader was actually pierced!

Xiang Yu woke up in an instant, and subconsciously looked at the arrow in Lin Fu's hand, but when he saw that the arrow in Lin Fu's hand was still intact, he suddenly reacted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Xiang Yu shouted loudly.

Everyone heard Xiang Yu's warning, and everyone drew their weapons and looked around vigilantly!

Xiang Yu, Lin Fu and the others looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, and saw a stockade faintly appearing in front of the woods!

While Xiang Yu was observing, another arrow shot out of the stockade,

"King be careful!" Lu Peng on the side shouted, drawing his knife and cutting off the arrows he shot.

Looking at the cluster of arrows that had been broken into two on the ground, Xiang Yu was afraid for a while, if there was no Lu Peng, I am afraid that he would be killed on the spot! Thinking about it, an evil fire gushed out in his heart: Damn, a group of small thieves dare to be so arrogant, where is this putting my Western Chu Overlord.

Xiang Yu didn't think about it, and pulled the knife out of the scabbard violently: "Soldiers, rush forward with me and level the stockade of this gang of thieves for me!!!"

After that, Xiang Yu brandished a long knife and ran towards the stockade, and Lin Fu, Lu Peng and others also followed: "Rush!"

Cavalry has always been dominant in large-scale wars, and the infantry has almost no power to fight back in front of the cavalry, which is why Xiang Yu left the infantry in Lu County, which does not need cavalry to defend the city, and can also reduce the burden for the troops.
