050: Praying Mantis, Cicada, Finch (2)
As the sun sets, the sunset paints the mountains and forests with a layer of golden light, the breeze comes, the treetops shake gently, and everything is so relaxing and pleasant.
But Chen Scar frowned, stroking a crossbow and was silent for a long time.
This is a captured crossbow, well maintained, one size larger than the one received from Beijing, suitable for defending the city, not suitable for field battles, but in the rout of Yingjiazhai to seize ten such crossbow bows, the matter is intriguing.
"Chen Tou, Marquis Yu, please come over."
Chen Scar nodded, got up with a crossbow bow, and walked into the Juyi Hall.
Qin Yue and Jia Yin were talking about something, when they saw Chen Scar coming in, they pointed to the ground with a smile and said, "Look, it's not beautiful." ”
Only then did Chen Scar notice that there was a woman lying on the ground, but her eyebrows and eyes were moving, soft as boneless, and I saw that she was very pitiful.
Chen Scar frowned, not knowing what gourd medicine Qin Yue was selling.
"It's a lot of money, send women, send crossbows, just thinking about our lives, do you know who it is?"
"Who?"
"This woman is from Michigan."
Chen Scar's brows tightened even deeper, "What? ”
Qin Yue sighed and said, "Can't be wrong, do you remember the time when the Emperor of Han captured the Han Dynasty and met the bastard who grabbed the merit, that guy's uncle was called Li Qian, I thought that the pole that was 108,000 miles long would not be able to hit, but I didn't expect to encounter this encounter." ”
"What is the relationship between He Zhong and Li Qian, will come out like this."
"It's not clear for the time being, but this woman was bought and sent here by a person surnamed Tao, and that person is from Caizhou, which is Li Qian's territory."
Chen Scar's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to escort the woman down, sat down on the chair tiredly, and said, "If it happens, it will be difficult to be good." ”
Qin Yue nodded and said, "Fortunately, these thieves have no experience, but they have only caused more than a dozen brothers to be killed and wounded, if they fight a positional battle, it is estimated that the casualties will be heavy." ”
"You mean Dai Jialing......"
"Yes, the news that we secretly came out two days ago was to attack Daijialing, Yingjiazhai has crossbows, and Daijialing will only have more support."
"What do you mean?"
"Overnight down the mountain."
Chen Scar was stunned for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Jiayin was anxious and asked, "We have gone down the mountain, what should we do with these women and children?" ”
"The grain and grass on the mountain are only more than 10,000 catties, and there are 20 bags of salt, so we won't move them, and the two bags of copper coins are also kept, they have these, enough to survive." Qin Yue grinned and said, "Anyway, we have a good harvest. ”
"How much was seized?"
"There are seven boxes of copper coins, about three or four thousand taels of silver, and two boxes of pearl and emerald jewelry, which can be sold casually, and there are always 20,000 small together." Qin Yue paused and said: "Those pearls, many of them are stained with blood, and Yingjiazhai seems to have done a lot of bad things in the past few years. ”
Jia Yin was speechless, in fact, he knew during the day that many of these women were robbed, many women gave birth to children, and their hearts died, and only a few cried and complained.
But looking at these captives in horror and pitiful, my heart was still panicked.
"Huzi, your department will go down the mountain first, there is a mountain col three miles south of the road to ambush, if you encounter Daijialing's men and horses, just let it go, see the signal of our army, and then copy it from behind."
"Okay."
Jiayin rubbed his face, strengthened his spirits, and went out.
Chen Scar watched him leave, and Fang sighed: "This kid is still soft-hearted. ”
Qin Yue also scratched his head and said, "For such a thing as a war, my heart still has to be hardened." ”
"Someone."
"No."
"Pass the order down, make food quickly, bring out all the good wine and meat, everyone will have a full meal and then go down the mountain, remember to prepare more torches."
"No."
After issuing the order, Qin Yue smiled and said, "After I go back, Huzi will scold me again, ha." ”
Chen Scar smiled, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Outside the Juyi Hall, a group of soldiers heard that there was wine to drink, meat to eat, all of them shouted in an uproar, it happened that there were a few big fat pigs in the village, a few groups of old hens, and they were unceremoniously caught.
In the distance, there is no wind in the treetops, a figure quietly slides down, like a macaque shuttling in the forest, half an hour later, this person has arrived at Daijialing.
"You said they were holding a celebration banquet on Yingjialing?"
"Yes, I heard it clearly, and said that I would go down the mountain after eating."
Dai Shanxiao propped his right elbow on the table and pressed his temple vigorously with the thumb knuckle. After pondering alone for a long time, he turned his head and asked the man on the left, "Shopkeeper Tao, what do you think?" ”
The Tao shopkeeper is about thirty years old, with a sturdy figure, purple face and black beard, and looks very powerful. ”
"Hmph, if you talk about blood, Dai Jialing is a dragon and a tiger, if the Tao shopkeeper dares to take the lead, I, Dai Jialing, will definitely not be left behind."
"In this case, you and I will each take our troops and set off in two quarters of an hour."
……
In Yingjiazhai, Qin Yue, who thought he was ready for everything, began to have a headache, and finally knew what it meant to be a single.
A group of old men peeked into the room where the women were being held one by one, and when they saw Qin Yue coming out, they salivated and asked, "Marquis Yu, what about these women?" ”
Qin Yue was stunned, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Take one back to be a daughter-in-law."
"Out of breath."
Seeing that there was no displeasure on Qin Yue's face, a group of bachelors rushed up and asked Yu Hou for help.
Qin Yue looked at this group of oily guys in surprise, and had to make a decision: "Listen to me, I have no objection to you marrying a woman, but not today, give me the honest help to cook." ”
"Zhang Tong, you talk to the woman in the house, you originally intended to marry, go down the mountain tomorrow, go to the military camp in Tashan Town by yourself, and find a way out if you are unwilling."
The group of guys began to scream, and some of the smart ones went to the crack in the door to report their names loudly, and some people followed to report their family backgrounds, and there were all kinds of things.
Qin Yue was happy with them, thinking that it would be okay to do this, the women in the house could have other thoughts, and there would be less crying.
The aroma of pork wafts out, the aroma of rice wafts out, and the aroma of cloudy sake wafts out, blending into an enticing fragrance.
When the meal was served, the torches were blazing, reflecting the faces of a group of gobbling men.
Turbid wine is a veritable turbid wine, smelling rancid, drinking sour, just like that, it is still regarded as a treasure, and two jars of turbid wine are only enough for each soldier to take a sip.
A meal, from the beginning of the pig killing to the crowd to eat, it was noisy for three hours, and the party began to go down the mountain late at night, and the torches were followed by a long dragon, standing in the distance and looking at it, it was very beautiful.
As soon as he crossed the mountainside, the leader Chen Scar quietly ordered, and the armor began to hold the armor with the help of the auxiliary soldiers, and then held the rattan card in his hand and opened the way first.
The torches were extinguished, and the group groped their way slowly in the darkness, and after about two quarters of an hour the procession descended to the foot of the mountain.
Everyone gradually adapted to the darkness, and through the faint light of the waning moon, they could see the general outline of the things around them.
In the darkness, a sharp arrow broke through the air, and Chen Scar shouted: "Raise the shield-"
The prepared armorer twisted his waist and sat on his horse, and the rattan card in his hand was held high, and a loud sound sounded, mixed with one or two screams, and a large number of torches suddenly lit up not far away, and a large group of figures howled and rushed over.
Chen Scar sneered: "Crossbow shooting." ”
The armor in the front row retracted his shield, and the sound of a bang sounded behind him, and the sharp arrows shot out, and the harvest screamed.
The figures of the charging people suddenly became chaotic, and some people shouted for command, and the crowd continued to charge.
"Throw a spear."
The spears that flew out again led to a scream.
Dai Shanxiao's spear was covered with a three-foot hemp rope, spinning rapidly, and the sharp arrows and spears flew in front of him.
He relied on his own martial arts and the Tao shopkeeper to go hand in hand, leading his children to rush over, their plan is that these big soldiers have only been trained for more than a month, and melee combat is not their opponent anyway.
However, when he approached, his heart was cold, and his spear was still flying, but what suddenly came up was a soldier who was fully defended from head to toe.
These armorers had already abandoned the rattan card and took the thick-backed simple knife from the hands of the auxiliaries, and the broad blade surface shone with a dazzling white glow in the darkness.
Dai Shanxiao only felt a cold air rushing to his head from the tail vertebrae, and immediately decided, "Withdraw." ”
Qin Yue was in the back, condescendingly saw clearly, laughed, and motioned for Zhang Tong to send a signal to Jia Yin.
A rocket soared into the sky, screaming like a night ray.
