Chapter 206 Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
It's so strange that a family of four lives in an empty house with no one for a quarter of an hour, and there are two pigs? Such a miraculous thing, everyone wanted to see what was going on, so they asked Hu Da to invite the family to come to the camp.
Hu Da took three military men to look for them while walking on horseback, he was an old scout, and although the location in the small courtyard in the wild forest was secret, he did not escape his eyes, so he was sure that there was absolutely no one in the house at that time, and there were no pigs in the pigsty.
"Hu Da, are you dazzled?" A man with a scar at the corner of his eye next to him asked with a pout.
Hu Da glanced at him and said, "I won't spend it if you are dazzled." ”
"Then you say, how did the pork come from?"
"How do I know!"
Just when a few people were joking with each other, in the small thatch in the wild forest, an old woman was complaining to an old man: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have come down, how dangerous it is for officers and soldiers everywhere!" ”
The old man said: "It's not easy to find an opportunity, how can I do it if I don't come down." ”
"What's the use of coming down? It's better to be safe on it! ”
The two of them were chattering in the house, and ran into two little babies, a man and a woman, in a panic from outside the hospital.
"Grandma and uncle, there are four torches coming outside!"
"It's bad, it's officers and soldiers! What can I do with this old man? Did you spot us? If I had known, I wouldn't have sold the pigs to those people! ”
The old man looked at the woman with a frightened look on her face: "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, that man is the dog leg of the officers and soldiers, if you don't sell the pigs to them, maybe you will rob them!" ”
"Uncle and grandma, people are coming," the two babies interjected, pointing to the people in front of the courtyard gate.
Lao Zhangtou coughed, and whispered to the two babies: "Hu'er, Yu'er, you want to call me Grandpa, call Granny Liu Grandma, you know no, if you leak your mouth, the officers and soldiers will arrest you and whip you!" ”
The two little babies hurriedly nodded yes.
The old man looked at the woman: "Don't forget! lest you be exposed and be arrested and sent to prison! ”
The old woman shuddered and nodded hurriedly.
Listening to the shouting outside the door, Lao Zhangtou coughed and walked out.
"Hey, there's really a family!" Hu Da walked into the house with torches, looked at the old woman and the two little babies, and looked at each other in surprise.
Old man Zhang pretended to be calm, and asked, "A few military masters, why do you come to the old man's house late at night?" ”
Hu Dazheng was stared at and angry by several military men with yin and yang strange eyes, so he didn't have a good temper and reprimanded: "Don't be long-winded, follow me!" ”
"Master Jun, Master Jun, why are you arresting us, we haven't broken the law."
"Master Jun, don't arrest my wife and put me in prison, I will say everything! Woowoo woo ......"
In the midst of crying and shouting, the group was escorted to the camp tent by Hu Da and several military men, and in the face of the menacing military men who exuded the smell of blood, Granny Liu, who had already collapsed in her heart, did not need to open her mouth to interrogate, directly poured beans into a bamboo tube, and explained everything before and after.
It turned out that these people ran out of the old thief from the gourd king's mountain bandit den, this old Zhang Tou was responsible for feeding the pigs and chickens in the bandit's den, and Granny Liu was responsible for laundry and cooking, and the two little babies were orphans in the thief's den, and they were all forcibly caught by the thieves in the thief's den last year.
They are all innocent people, who wants to be a bandit, not to mention being caught by officers and soldiers, they have to lose their heads, so Lao Zhangtou has been looking for an opportunity to escape for the past year, and today he finally waited for the opportunity.
Seeing that the king of the mountain took all the thieves down the mountain to fight with the officers and soldiers, there was a group of old and young sick and disabled people left in the thieves' den, and the old Zhang Tou immediately decided to take the opportunity to hurry down the mountain, because he usually made friends with the old woman, and when he walked, he called her to run together, and the old woman adopted two orphans, and after listening to the old man to run, he nodded and packed up the pots and pans and clothes, and followed the old man Zhang to drive the two pigs down the thieves' den.
The road was also smooth, until I walked to the bottom of the mountain, I happened to see Hu Da's group of officers and soldiers leaving with torches, and there was a group of people behind faintly holding torches, and they didn't dare to go, so they had to pack up and pack up into the thatched hut in the forest, disguised as a family.
The misunderstanding was solved, and the old man and the little baby had nothing to stay, so they drove the four out with a wave of their hands.
"General Zhang, is there a bandit nest around here?"
The dog stared at the group, meaning to say that he would hurry overnight and get out of this dangerous place.
But the old general seemed to have misunderstood, nodded with a smile at the dog, then turned his head to the outside of the tent and said: "When you are full, pick up the guys, go outside to catch two thieves and lead the way, let's take advantage of the darkness of the night to take this thief's nest." ”
In this way, a group of officers and soldiers, neither riding horses nor lighting torches, but four or five hundred men with bows and arrows and broadswords, led by the two bandits, went into the mountains.
The dog looked at the mountain on the official road, but there were either mountains or trees in front of him, and he couldn't see anything in the dark, so the dog waited for the trouble and went back to the barracks to rest.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the neighing of a few horses in the distance, and hurriedly ran out to check.
"Brother Hu, how is the war?"
Hu Da may have been injured, with a piece of white cloth wrapped around his ears, and spat after listening to the dog's question: "A group of bandits are very vigilant, in addition to the bright whistle, there is also a secret whistle, originally wanted to sneak in, but was discovered by the mountain bandits!" ”
The dog was taken aback and quickly asked if there were any casualties.
Hu Da laughed and said: "These bandits are rats, and they shot two rounds of arrows at us in a mess, that is, my brother has a relatively back, and his ears are scratched with some skin, and the others are fine." ”
The dog breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Scared me, what happened later?" ”
"Hahaha, what can I do, the sneak attack can't become a strong attack, the thief's den is also a hidden advantage, the surrounding fortifications are very simple, there are only two circles of horizontal railings in the village, and the brothers can easily kill it."
Speaking of this, Hu Da touched the wound on his ear and said: "This gang of thieves and bandits are very timid, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they ran directly into the ravine, and the big guy was not familiar with the mountain road, so he had to give up the chase, oh, by the way, General Zhang said that you should take the people here and move the seizures inside, brother, you go over, I will go to the front to call people!" ”
The dog said yes and sent him away.
Turning his head to look at the mountain, he sighed, this night was really a sleepless night, but it was an unexpected surprise to be able to seize some grain and grass.
"yes, what an unexpected surprise!"
In the recess of the mountain, twenty miles away from the camp, Uluzik, from the Ulu tribe of the Jin Kingdom, smiled at the deputy next to him.
The deputy is a Han man, although he was born in the army, but his ancestors are all warriors of the Dajin country, and his father made great contributions when he conquered Liao, although the slaves rewarded over the years are not as many as his own department, but there is also a Buddha Ning! (Jurchen language, meaning fifty households) should not be taken lightly.
This time, the two of them took advantage of the night to sneak into the rear of the Song army to spy on intelligence, and brought a total of 100 horsemen, of which 80 belonged to their own soldiers.
"Centurion Zik! I feel that I can't let go of this great opportunity, even if I can't grab it, destroying them is a great achievement! ”
I have to say that the Han people's brains are really spinning fast, and I just let out a sigh, this guy has already guessed his thoughts, but he grew up in the Jin country since he was a child!
"Mooke! Are we going to rob them? ”
After the Han man finished talking for a long time, his brother next to him suddenly asked.
Sighing, the clan elder is right, the Han people are too smart, and the important official positions of the Dajin Kingdom must not be handed over to the Han people.
Uluzike looked at his younger brother, then at the Han people, nodded and smiled: "What the deputy centurion said is right, since we are fortunate to meet, we naturally can't let it go, destroy some Zizhong, we can make the Song army's camp have less grain and grass, and if he is weaker, we will be stronger, and if we can't take the opportunity to go down and occupy this big state!" ”
"Deputy Centurion Shen, you have written down what the Song people said!"
"Write it down, he said that he started running before the cottage was broken, and he didn't waste much time, presumably those Song soldiers should have rested by this time! We happened to take advantage of the darkness to attack his camp, and although we only have a hundred warriors, it should be no problem to beat their 400 auxiliaries to escort Zizhong! ”
Uluzik thought for a moment and said, "Did the Song people say that the Song soldiers set up the camp there?" Is it in his bandit's den, or on the official road at the foot of the mountain? ”
The man surnamed Shen was stunned, shook his head, and beckoned to the back, and two armored soldiers walked over with a man with a blue nose and swollen face.
As he walked, the man shouted: "Grandpa Jinren, Xiao Wang, no, the villain has already said everything, you have to talk and let me go!" ”
This person is no one else, it is the gourd king who was the first to leave the scene, and was attacked by General Zhang Lao, when he saw the officers and soldiers rushing into the walled city, he turned his head and ran, just down the mountain There were still one or two hundred people, running and running and turning his head There were only seven or eight old brothers left, who was sighing that the world was cold, or the old brothers were reliable, and when he looked up, he saw that he broke into the camp of the Jin people.
There was nothing to say, everyone shot off their horses with an arrow, probably seeing that they were richly dressed, the golden man left himself, and the others were beheaded.
"Hulu King, let me ask you, do you know where Song Bing is located?"
Where did the gourd king know, so he had to shake his head honestly, and with this shake, he shook his head to the ground.
Deputy Centurion Shen kicked the gourd king's head out of the way, rubbed the knife in his hand on his corpse's clothes, turned his head and said, "He doesn't know, let's find out in person!" ”
"It's okay, what you see with your own eyes is true" After saying this, Uluzik turned his head to his brother and said: "Uluqiman, you bring two warriors over to have a look, be careful not to expose your whereabouts!" ”
Uluqiman, a seven-foot-tall man, has relatively developed hair, not only the hair is braided into strands and hangs down to the neck, but even the cheeks, chin, and even the chest have a thick layer of hair, and at first glance I thought it was a wild monkey.
Usually good at using a big wide axe, wearing two layers of iron armor when rushing into battle, holding the axe with a hideous face, that ugly face, can often scare the opponent half to death, he took the opportunity to chop off the enemy's head again.
Such a barbarian doesn't like to do this kind of delicate errand the most, usually the Han people do the things that spy on intelligence in the army, and I don't know what happened to my brother today, so I actually handed it over to myself, and I didn't dare to say no, so I had to mumble two sentences and order two tooth soldiers, get on the horse and leave.
Uruzik watched his younger brother leave and sighed, this brain can only grow smarter if it is used more often.
When he saw that the people were walking away, he turned to the rest of the clan soldiers and commanded:
"Bows, arrows, and swords are ready, and when people come back, they will attack the camp, it is best to take them down, if things change, set fire to the grain, remember to burn Zizhong first!"
"Yes! Mooke! ”
In the camp at the foot of the mountain, Tang Laosan walked down the mountain with a group of people carrying a burden and a bamboo basket, took a breath and unloaded the things in the basket in the barracks, beat his back with his hands, turned his head to Tang Xiaoer and said: "This little thief's nest, there are really a lot of messy things, and I haven't finished moving it twice." ”
"There's no way, those big officials said they wouldn't let them sleep if they didn't move! Let's go, third uncle, it's going to be too late to lose your temper again. ”
