43 Confrontation One
The army was forced to withdraw from the valley, and the leader lost more than thirty men, which was a brilliant achievement created by the terrain of a man who was in charge of the territory, and it would be even more difficult to kill these famous fellows on the rivers and lakes.
Although the brothers under Qingfeng Village are all very skilled, it is impossible to single out the members of these head teams.
Because each of these people has no life in their hands, they are all strong hands, and if they are not recruited by the commanders, they will not be able to join, and many of them are wanted criminals by the government.
But the strong have their own strong hands, these people are against the government, although most of the government's head catchers are not enough, but the dignified Jinling Mansion, how can there be some strong hands.
These strong opponents have all made a name for themselves on the battlefield, and they are naturally more tough against these thieves, if they are not retired due to injuries, these people are all terrifying existences for the enemy army.
If you are really targeted by the government, even if you are a master of the rivers and lakes, you will inevitably capsize in the gutter.
Before the commander of the capital was transferred to the command of Jiangsu, the former commander of Jiangsu was directly appointed by Beijing, and although the director of the department had military power, he suffered from having no foundation and cronies, and there was no one available here.
Therefore, for the so-called "chivalrous" in the rivers and lakes, there is nothing to be done.
Although the government has a fast catch, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and although it is a trained expert, it is difficult to have a family behind him, and he is also overstretched under the concerns of this kind of outlaw, even if he has the ability to arrest it, he does not dare to do it.
In the past, in Jinling, although there was a matter of "chivalry and martial arts", it was only a single evil.
It is not in such a situation as now, but there is a bandit problem, which is the first time I have heard of it after decades of stability in Jinling.
The name of Lu Song, the overlord of the head team, is famous in the whole Jinling and even in the whole Jiangsu, not for anything else, just because he became famous because he fought and killed a tiger with his own strength, and he also stood among the ranks, and had a great reputation among the enemies, especially the Japanese on the eastern coast.
At one time, he was also a general who commanded an army, from the rank of fourth.
It's just that Lu Song has never put his opponent in his eyes because of his military exploits, and he is arrogant and arrogant, and he has excellent marksmanship, and challenges everywhere, until one day he meets the same famous marksmanship master on the rivers and lakes, and after being defeated, he is actually resentful, and poisons the famous generation of grandmasters to death by despicable means, so he has become a reckless man in the green forest.
At this point, he changed his appearance, and even changed his name, and finally became an assassin in the rivers and lakes, until he received the task of the assassination commander, and after he was captured, the commander remembered that he had contributed to the country, and there was nowhere to show his martial arts, so he took him under his door.
The overlord spear Lu Song has returned to its original name so far.
And because he was in command of the capital, under the command of General Zheng Erpin, some people were suspicious, and they didn't dare to check him.
In addition, the officialdom of Jinling is controlled by Nangong Wang, although there are few contacts in Pingsuri, but over time, when some cases handled by Nangong Wang, especially those related to the garrison, every time there is a bias, people with a discerning eye can see it.
In this Jinling officialdom, civil officials and military attaches have long been in collusion and are embarrassed.
And this point, as the governor of Jiangsu, the embarrassing situation of the governor of Jiangsu, Lord Su Lunsu, can be glimpsed.
The dignified governor, the governor of the entire Jiangsu military and government, can be regarded as a feudal official.
It's a pity that in the officialdom of Jiangsu, it is a wall everywhere, in the military and politics, in addition to doing some things to benefit the people, Ping Suli has no right to speak in the military and politics.
If possible, he couldn't wait to mobilize a large army, directly arrest these fellow guys, and return Jinling to a clear blue sky and white sun.
It's just that it backfired, and he couldn't mobilize a single soldier in Jiangsu, and all the military power was in the hands of the commanders.
Although he holds the emperor's holy decree, it can be very involved, and this holy decree that can command the world has become a dead letter, which can only be placed at home to admire, and has no effect.
Of course, if this situation continues, Jiangsu will always be a solid iron bucket, and it will be difficult for anyone to meddle in this matter, and all interests will not be put by the state first, but will be privately profited.
It can be said that the city of Jinling is the treasury in the hearts of those people, a terrifying treasury that can quickly accumulate wealth.
But the sudden appearance of the bandits has touched the primary interests of these people, especially the Li family, which started as a cloth merchant, and the Li family can provide them with a large amount of taxes every year.
In this era, the status of merchants was generally lower than that of peasants, and taxes were extremely high.
Especially like the Li family, which monopolized almost 30% of the profits of all provinces in the country, what a considerable account.
In addition, the Li family's officialdom has no one to shelter, and in order to ensure their survival, the Li family needs to seek protection from the government with heavy gifts, and these people can get huge benefits from it.
But the thieves who suddenly came forward directly kidnapped Miss Li, and the asking price was 200,000 taels of silver, they have been squeezing Jinling merchants for many years, and they have obtained huge benefits, but they still have not exceeded 200,000 taels.
Such a large amount of ransom is enough to support half a year's military salary for an army of 100,000.
But Lu Song's defeat made Nangong Wanghe, who had always been as steady as Mount Tai, nervous, although Li Youwei was not worth 200,000 silver, Li Youwei's father Li Zonghan was a father who loved his daughter like his life, and would never sit idly by and ignore his daughter.
Therefore, there was a good show that Nangong Wanghe commanded.
However, as soon as the show began, the scene was smashed.
Over the years, Lu Song has followed the commander, and a lot of edges and corners have also been erased, and he is desperate for the commander, although because of the murder case, his identity is more sensitive, and he can no longer continue to join the army, but he is still loyal to act as the loyal dog and minions of the commander of the capital.
Many malignant ...... caused by soldiers The incident was basically solved by Lu Song and the people of the head team, but such a strong man was actually defeated in seconds, which made the commander a little jealous.
Although Lu Song's mind was the intention of solicitation, but in the heart of the commander, there was only a strong killing intent, but he didn't say it.
And in the Xia Dynasty, except for some hidden old guys who can surpass him in sword skills, and the grandmaster figure he inherited, although he has been expelled from the division, the only thing he can think of is the heir of that person.
Therefore, all the commanders and envoys rushed with 800 miles to get the troops and directly began to encircle and suppress this gang of bandits.
But he still underestimated this group of people, these guys occupy the right time and place, although there are only 100 people, but it is still extremely difficult to break through the terrain of 10,000 people.
After listening to the account of the retreating sect leader, and learning that his own personal guard general sect leader team had actually lost dozens of people, the commander was immediately angry: "No matter what means you use, I hope to defeat him before dawn, if you can't break it, then don't come back." ”
At this time, he could mobilize only 3,000 troops, and he thought that with the addition of a master like the head team, it should be easy to take down a group of bandits, but he didn't know that the other party was so fierce.
In the face of the anger of the commanders, these people could only endure in silence.
"Lu Song pleases for his life, takes the head of the sect, goes up along this ridge, inserts it behind these people, and inflicts heavy damage!" Lu Song disappointed the commander for the first time, and he was naturally unwilling in his heart.
"That's right, it's just that this ridge is steep, so be careful with me!"
"Yes!"
Lu Song, Zhang Gong and others led their hands to climb up with hook claws as a guide.
These guys are all masters of the rivers and lakes, especially Zhang Gong, whose archery skills of piercing Yang in 100 steps are even more powerful tools for climbing.
Although Zhang Gong is not good at close combat, his arm strength is not weaker than Lu Song's, tying the rope to the tail of the arrow, and opening the bow vigorously is actually a hundred shots, and every time the arrow can shoot through the strange and craggy trees that grow on the cliff wall.
Despite the fact that these trees are bent and weak, their hardness and toughness are much higher than those of ordinary trees.
Although the injury was dangerous, it was still with the assistance of Zhang Gong's amazing archery skills, coupled with the martial arts of these people, it was easy to go high and high, and in less than a quarter of an hour, these people climbed twenty or thirty zhang.
But just when they were about to see the dawn, the things that shocked Lu Song and others came one after another.
The torches were lit on the top of the mountain, and as far as they could see, there were already more than a dozen people standing, no one holding a torch in their hands, and under the light of the torches, they could vaguely see the pile of thunder stones and rolling logs in front of these people.
"It's over!"
Lu Song's first reaction was over, although they were masters, but they were located on this cliff dozens of zhang high, and there was no place to hide, it was conceivable that if these thunder stones and rolling logs fell, how would the dozens of people who came up with them deal with themselves?
"Push me!"
Someone shouted on the ridge, and then the thunder stone rolling wood landed down one after another, Lu Song and the others could only use some protruding rocks in front of them to try their best to avoid this terrifying attack, but there were still more than a dozen people, they couldn't find any shelter, and they were directly smashed down by the thunder stone rolling wood.
Not far from the bottom of the mountain, the commander looked at this scene, his face was even more gloomy than the night, he was very angry in his heart, especially after seeing the means and techniques to release the thunder stone rolling wood, he was even more furious: "Who is it, in the ranks, except for the general, who dares to go against me?" Among the soldiers, Zuo Shilang or Shangshu? ”
That's right, he saw the shadow of the army from this extremely professional method.
This is not a simple group of robbers, but a group of well-trained soldiers, compared with the elite of his subordinates, it is not far behind, such an elite, even pretending to be a bandit, which makes the always conceited commander of the envoy, his heart turmoil.
It's just that there is nothing to be done at this time, and I can only watch the people of the head team being smashed down one by one.
"Prepare a heavy crossbow for me, General Ben wants to see who is fighting against Lao Tzu."
