Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 34 The Ghost Pawn Strikes
Nanying led the trapping camp and the Ban Yu battalion for the first time, and won a complete victory, not only successfully recaptured 120,000 stone of grain, and no one was damaged, but also added Ma Yuankui's mountain thieves and horses and many cottage stocks of money and grain, especially with Ma Jun, such a genius, it was an unexpected joy.
On the way back, Nanying couldn't help but think that a few months ago, he exterminated a handful of bandits, won Zhang Xian, and now he has Ma Jun in Chencang Mountain. You can not only train troops, but also make a fortune, and maybe even get talents, which is really a good deal! Just as he was immersed in the fantasy of infinite beauty, the sound of horses' hooves came from a galloping horse in front of him.
A horse galloped from afar, shouting, "Sir! Is the commander in the team! ”
Nan Ying stared at it, and recognized that it was the trapped camp soldier left behind in the valley, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, could it be that something happened to Black Tiger Mountain? Hurriedly stepped forward.
After the warrior saluted, he hurriedly attached himself to Nanying's ear and said, "Sir! Something happened in the mountains, and the valley lord asked the chief to go back immediately! ”
Nanying's expression remained unchanged, and he asked softly, "Do you know what?" ”
The warrior shook his head.
Nanying suppressed the doubts in his heart and shouted: "The whole team accelerates!" Back to the mountain! ”
In the secret room of the dock fort, Gao Shun said with a solemn face: "We are in trouble!" Brother Xian, in the few days since you led people out of the mountain, we have reported from many sentinels, and many unidentified people have appeared outside the mountain, and the tiger group under Yang Kun's seat has also found that someone has secretly sneaked into the mountain! ”
Nanying blurted out: "Not good! It must have been us who recently brought back a large amount of grain, which aroused the suspicion of a certain force! ”
Cheng Yu said slowly: "Not only that, our recent move is really too big, first tens of thousands of barbarians migrated in large numbers, followed by hundreds of thousands of stone grain transported back in batches, and the day before yesterday, hundreds of warriors were dispatched to attack a hundred miles, which is enough to arouse the vigilance of people with hearts!" ”
Gao Shun frowned and said, "Someone with a heart? Sir, is he referring to the two great adoisms? ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "At present, we have only offended these two forces, and it should be one of them." And Taiping Dao is thousands of miles away, it is unlikely that so many people will be dispatched here, if my expectations are good, I am afraid that the Five Dou Mi Sect may be the largest! ”
Nan Ying said bitterly: "What Mr. said is reasonable, I know that my suspicious plan can only be kept for a while, and if it drags on for a long time, it will eventually be exposed!" ”
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "Actually, the lord's plan has already paid great results, if not, I'm afraid that if I don't wait for Zhongde and I to join the lord, the Five Doumi Sect will have sent troops here!" After all, who would be willing to give up such a big gold mine? ”
He said proudly: "However, this time is different from the past, we are now full of talents, strong soldiers and horses, and the Wudoumi Sect is only a folk church after all, can they actually mobilize more than 100,000 sect members to come here together?" We're afraid he won't make it! ”
Everyone was relaxed.
Zao Yi said happily: "Mr. Jia must have a countermeasure!" ”
Jia Xu said calmly: "At present, we are still not sure that the opponent is the Wudou Mi Sect, and we don't know what they want, so we have to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!" Not only can you know who the enemy is, but you can also force them to take the next step! ”
Everyone was in high spirits, and Nanying hurriedly said: "How to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?" ”
Jia Xu's eyes flashed: "Kill!" Leave no one alive, get rid of them all! ”
The two black-clothed men crouched in the forest in the middle of the mountain, overlooking the dense crowd of people in the mountain, and couldn't help but gasp.
One said: "Oh my God! When did so many people come to this Black Tiger Mountain! ”
The other stared at it for a long time, and said curiously: "Look at the costumes of these people, they actually look like those barbarians who suddenly disappeared not long ago!" ”
The former shouted, "Not good! We'll send this back as soon as possible! ”
Suddenly, a fishy wind swept in, and a low beast roar that sounded like it came from hell sounded behind the two of them, and they looked back and let out a terrible scream in unison.
Tears and screams rang out, and soon the mountains and forests fell silent.
A caravan of more than a dozen people was resting at the edge of a wood, holding water bags and drinking while watching vigilantly at the mountain pass a few miles away.
A leader wiped away the traces of water from his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, that is the mountain pass of Black Tiger Mountain, let's rest for a while, and then enter the mountain in the name of collecting mountain goods." ”
He paused and said, "Give me all the details!" Let no one show any flaws, and if anyone asks, answer according to what we have previously discussed! ”
"Hmph" A heavy cold snort came, and everyone was shocked and stood up together.
A majestic black man slowly walked out from the depths of the dense forest, his eyes unabashedly shot a cold meaning, and sneered: "Tell me what you discussed first!" ”
The leader knew something was wrong, and still forced a smile: "Who is the guest?" We are all merchants who go into the mountains to collect goods......."
The black man didn't speak anymore, took out a pair of iron halberds from behind him, crossed his hands, and let out a chilling sound of "ding", slowly approaching.
The leader finally couldn't hold it anymore and shouted, "Brothers, do it!" ”
He took out a short knife and stabbed the black man in the chest, and all his men pounced on him with knives.
The sound of "boom" sounded continuously, and rows of cold-flashing crossbow arrows were shot out of the forest without warning.
Almost instantly, in addition to the leader, more than a dozen people in the caravan were shot into hedgehogs.
The black man casually waved the iron halberd in his hand, swept the short knife in the leader's hand, and then kicked him in the lower abdomen, and immediately fell to the ground with blood spraying wildly.
The black man didn't look at him anymore, turned away, and said, "Tie me up!" Leave it to the Lord immediately! ”
Hanzhong County, the main altar of the Heavenly Master.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu listened to the report of one of their subordinates with heavy faces, and let out a long breath together.
Zhang Lu waved his hand and ordered the man to retreat, leaving only two uncles and nephews in the lobby.
Zhang Xiu was shocked: "48 spies lost the news together? Gongqi, in your opinion, what the hell is going on? ”
Zhang Lu sighed and said, "Master! Ever since we wrote to the great sages and good teachers of Taiping Dao, but Taiping Dao surprisingly didn't react, I already felt that something was wrong! ”
"Oh? What's wrong? ”
Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "It is not difficult to know from the reports in the past few months that Taiping Dao not only did not raise troops to retaliate, but acted more low-key, almost all of the actions have gone underground, and they don't seem to care about this gold mountain at all, what does this mean?" ”
He said word by word: "They're ready to start something!" ”
Zhang Xiu was surprised: "Will it be so fast?" Could it be that Taiping Dao has secretly occupied this mountain, so it will act in a low-key manner? ”
Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "It's definitely not Taipingdao!" Do you remember Shijun? A few months ago, the Bandun Barbarians suddenly had a fierce conflict with the local government and our sect in the area of Kouluo Hanzhong, but soon they suddenly disappeared mysteriously! ”
Zhang Xiu suddenly got up and said, "You mean, this matter is related to Black Tiger Mountain?" ”
Zhang Lu looked depressed and said: "I only found out the day before yesterday that a large number of footprints and traces left by camping were found in the nearby mountains, leading to the area of Black Tiger Mountain!" ”
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a long time, then sat down and said, "You mean, they voted for Black Tiger Mountain!" ”
Zhang Lu nodded and said: "Only this explanation is given, and Shijun also knows that the Taiping Dao absolutely does not allow foreign races to join the religion, so I said that it is not the Taiping Dao that occupies this mountain!" ”
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "So there is really a third-party force involved!" Hum! Who is so bold to kill a few of my ghost pawns first, and now assassinate 48 of my fine workers! I really don't know whether to live or die! ”
Zhang Lu smiled and said, "Why should Shijun be angry? Isn't that a good thing? What we were worried about before was just Taiping Dao, but now Taiping Dao is about to start an incident, and we have to give up the gold mine for the sake of the overall situation, and we can take advantage of the situation! ”
Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and said, "Not bad!" We take it at this time, and Taiping Dao has nothing to say, and we can use the gold mine to recruit troops and horses on a large scale, and wait and see how the times change. After the Taiping Road Incident, the world is in chaos, we can take Hanzhong first, and then map Xichuan! ”
Zhang Lu bowed down and said, "Shijun is wise!" ”
Zhang Xiuchang smiled and said, "Gongqi, you are solely responsible for the capture of Black Tiger Mountain!" How many centaurs do you need? ”
Zhang Lu Huoran got up and bowed: "Please Shijun hand over 1,000 ghost pawns to me to command, and I will definitely take Jinshan in one fell swoop!" ”
Zhang Xiu was stunned and said, "What? Do you want so many people? This is almost all the elite of the sect! ”
Zhang Lu sighed: "I also know that 1,000 ghost pawns are the guards who protect Shijun, and they cannot be mobilized easily. But Shijun, please think about it, who are we facing the enemy? Not only is its own strength unpredictable, but a large number of barbarians have recently been attached, and its strength must have skyrocketed. If we want to occupy this mountain, we can only use our elite to carry out a surprise attack! If only a large number of ordinary people are dispatched, it is easy to leak military aircraft, second, although the number is large, the combat power is not high, and third, a large-scale dispatch may alarm the Hanzhong Taishou, and it is honest that the wise will not take it! ”
Zhang Xiu's face flashed with a look of sudden realization and said, "Not bad! It's just that, according to what Gongqi said, the enemy is very strong, and we only dispatched 1,000 ghost pawns, which seems to be a bit insufficient! ”
Zhang Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shijun! I'll pick another 500 good players to be sure! ”
Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Everything is according to the words of the Gongqi! Let's do it! ”
Zhang Lu bowed down and bowed again: "Thank you Shijun for trust!" I will definitely live up to my mission! When he lowered his head, he couldn't help but have a hint of pride in his eyes.
Zhang Xiu watched Zhang Lu walk out of the lobby with a smile on his face, his smile immediately retracted, his eyes flashed, and he said to himself: "Hmph! My good nephew! Want to get to the bottom of me now? Do you really think that's all I have? But your 500 men have already surfaced! ”
With a "bang", Nan Ying slapped the case heavily and said angrily: "What are you talking about!" These Heavenly Master Dao spies actually touched along the migration route of Ban Dun Man! ”
Saying that, Sen Han's gaze looked at Luo Sanshan and Fang Yue.
The two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they lowered their heads together.
Gao Shun sighed slightly and said, "Brother, don't blame them!" In fact, they've done a great job! Tens of thousands of people have come long distances to help the elderly and children, and how can they not leave a trace? ”
Nanying was silent and sat down helplessly.
After a while, he spoke: "Sanshan, you calculate for me, if the Heavenly Master Dao follows this route from Hanzhong in a big way, how many days will it take?" ”
Luo Sanshan's violently beating heart finally calmed down a little, and he said cautiously: "If they go out as soon as they find out that all the spies are missing, there will be at least 10 days!" ”
Nanying let out a "grace" and looked at Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu said casually: "Don't worry, lord! What is going to come will always come! The important thing is that we must make the most of these precious 10 days and be ready to meet the enemy! ”
Jia Xu continued: "Not bad! Please give an order from the lord and the lord of the valley immediately! First, after the 5th, all activities in the mountains should be stopped, and all people should be returned to the valley, and no one should take a step without permission; second, ordered Dian Wei, Zhang Xian, Ma Jun and others to lead craftsmen to step up the production of bow and crossbow equipment; thirdly, urgently select another group of warriors from among the barbarians to participate in the defense of the various passes; Fourth, the reconnaissance range of the tigers has been doubled, and at the same time, scouts are stationed to monitor the various routes into the mountain, especially the hidden route, I think the Heavenly Master Dao is only afraid and does not dare to openly march, only to use this road! ”
Nan Yingmu said expressionlessly: "Gao Feng! Did you hear that? I'll leave that path to you and your team! Within a hundred miles of this road, there must be people who will be deployed day and night! If there is a fault, you are dead! ”
Gao Feng was full of excitement, bowed down and said, "Yes!" Rest assured, sir! The special training method taught by the chief can finally be put to use! ”
"But!" He hesitated and said, "I have one more request!" ”
Nanying said lightly: "Say! ”
Gao Feng perked up and said: "The mountains are different from other places, and the transmission of information is extremely inconvenient, if I find out about the enemy, how can I transmit the news back to the valley in the shortest possible time?" So I want to ask Brother Yang Kun to help! ”
Nanying's eyes lit up and said, "Good plan!" Brother Yang, I bother you to send your disciples who are the most refined in the art of beasts, and take the beasts to go out with the high wind, and if you encounter an enemy situation, you will immediately tie the letter to the beast and bring it back quickly! ”
Gao Feng opened his mouth and stammered: 'Chief, sir! Can you guess what I'm thinking? ”
Nan Ying finally smiled and said, "Your kid's mind is indeed very useful!" I'll give you a credit first! ”
Yang Kun also sighed: "It's really a good plan!" In the mountains and forests, wild beasts can travel much faster than humans! And it's not easy to be spotted! I'm ashamed to say that I've been studying the beast control method for more than ten years, and I never thought it could be so useful! ”
Nan Ying's eyes flashed with ecstasy: "Brother Yang! Have you ever thought that beasts are good! But what about the speed of the birds? That's the best choice! ”
Yang Kun was shocked, and suddenly got up and said, "This! This! Not bad! Not bad! Kindness! I have to think about it! Talking about it, he didn't care about others, and ran out with a smoke.
A strong shock flashed in everyone's hearts, if you can really use the birds to transmit intelligence, and even know that the enemy is thousands of miles away, then you can have enough time to make all kinds of arrangements according to the enemy's situation, how can it be unreasonable? The meaning of war, from this day forward, will be completely rewritten.
Nanying slowly stood up and said to everyone: "Brothers! Prepare to go immediately according to the strategy of the two military advisors! I have a feeling that this time the enemy will come in a big way, and this will be an existential decisive battle! We will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, and they will stand up in a battle, so that they can completely cut off their thoughts about my Black Tiger Mountain! ”
Zao Yi said worriedly: "Lord, after all, the Heavenly Master Dao is full of people, can we really win the battle?" ”
Nan Ying's face showed an evil signature smile again: "Don't worry, as long as they dare to come, I will let you know that all reactionary forces are paper tigers!" ”
