Robbing such a large batch of gold and antique treasures out of the capital is a super difficulty in the early stage.

But the super difficulty in the early stage is really nothing compared to the 300-mile-long transportation line.

Even if you don't consider the people in Jingying, just if Jinyi Wei can gather the people of Dongchang and gather thousands of cavalry to chase after them, these two thousand cavalry are enough to kill, and there are many opportunities to catch up with them along the way!

The number of cavalry is large, and his biggest reliance is grenades, Lin Wenbiao knows very well that whether it is in his current brigade or in the hands of the hundred people of Madman Tan, the number of grenades is only five or six hundred, and Maniac Tan has three hundred. He used part of it on his side, and there were more than 250 grenades left.

This is the biggest reliance, once the grenades are exhausted, the Jinyi Guard will no longer be afraid of them!

"Wait until we block their retreat before we do it! Listen to me, you can't let one go! Lin Wenbiao ordered in a low voice, and the orders were passed on one after another.

You know, it is very difficult to deal with cavalry and want to leave all the people behind!

However, Lin Wenbiao feels that it is not completely impossible to play a surprise.

In the night, the brigade's wagons were still moving forward at normal speeds, and the agents of the Statistics Office and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team hiding behind the trees were not found.

It's not that the always cautious and old-fashioned Jinyi Wei Qianhu behind him is careless, but that he has no way to think of the people being pursued, and he dares to stop the ambush that hits them.

In normal thinking, I got a large amount of gold and silver and fled, unless I was caught up, I would not turn back if I had to!

Obviously, this old and cautious Jinyi Wei Qianhu did not plan to catch up and fight, let alone think that the other party would dare to turn around and bite him.

This was a one-sided ambush battle, although the other party had horses, but Lin Wenbiao shouted: "Fight!" After that, hundreds of grenades sped in.

Bang bang! Bang bang!

Before the battle was engaged, the grenade shock wave at close range blew up the nearly 100-strong Jinyi Guards, and half of them died on the spot.

This is the characteristic of grenades, when others are on guard, grenades, a weapon with heavy defensive attributes, are actually not very useful.

But when the opponent is unprepared, especially when the attack is at close range, the power of the grenade is obviously immense! Do not give time to react and hide at all.

The Jinyi guard team was chaotic, and Qianhu shouted: "Retreat!" Hurry back! ”

But where is the time?

After a wave of grenades, a mixed team of more than 500 statistical agency agents and non-commissioned officers of the convoy behind the tree came out at once.

In the dark, the people of the Jinyi Guard couldn't even see the figures clearly, so they were cut down one by one!

The two sides fought for more than ten minutes, and the mixed team composed of agents of the Statistics Bureau and non-commissioned officers of the escort team, who were five times the number of opponents, completely annihilated the opponent after paying more than 20 lives, leaving only Duan Pengcheng, a thousand households of Jinyi Guard, who took the lead, and a dozen or so Jinyi Guards who gave up resistance.

Duan Pengcheng, a thousand households of this brocade guard, was specially stayed, and if it wasn't for Lin Wenbiao's timely shouting, he would have been killed.

"Let go! Who are you? "Duan Pengcheng is around forty years old, with an iron-clad appearance, he is one of the few people in Jinyiwei who has risen from the bottom completely by personal ability, and belongs to an outlier.

Lin Wenbiao sneered: "Who are we, you don't have to know!" I just ask you, who have you informed of our whereabouts? Where are your people now? I want to know the location and number of the Ming army in the entire North Zhili! ”

"You're dreaming! I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I am already ready to smear the liver and brain of the imperial court! You rest and know what from my mouth! The brocade-clothed guard Qianhu shouted angrily.

"Tie him up and gag him!" Lin Wenbiao snorted coldly, and then said coldly: "Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't be able to know?" ”

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Duan Pengcheng immediately realized that some of his subordinates had also been caught, and immediately reminded him loudly.

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, he was held down and gagged.

"Sign up, just kill this guy!" The stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Statistics was very unaccustomed to this brocade guard thousand households, and offered advice.

Lin Wenbiao waved his hand: "He's a little bloody!" There may be someone to keep! "Captured a thousand households alive, what is the specific use, Lin Wenbiao is not clear, but on the one hand, he appreciates the spirit of this Jinyi Wei Qianhu, on the other hand, this is also the highest-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty captured by the Statistics Bureau.

The thousands of households in Jinyiwei are placed in the place, which is much more bullish than the prefect of Yongping Mansion, and is not much better than Wu Xiang and other high-ranking officials of the guard.

"You hurry up and arrange people, quickly interrogate the rest of these people, find out the situation of the Jinyi Guard's pursuers, and figure out the soldiers and horses they may move next and their movements!" Lin Wenbiao then instructed the director of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Bureau.

"Yes, sign, my subordinates understand!" The head of the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Statistics hurriedly received the order, summoned several high-level agents, and immediately interrogated the more than ten Jinyi guards who were arrested.

Lin Wenbiao arranged for others to quickly clean up the scene, bury the body, and destroy the traces.

In a fight, more than 20 people died on his side, and this was still a case of being prepared to attack the opponent without defense, which made Lin Wenbiao very worried.

On the one hand, he was worried about the casualties of his brothers, and on the other hand, he felt that the officers and soldiers were still very powerful.

These more than a dozen Jinyi guards are people who surrender voluntarily, and there is no psychological defense line at all, although some people try to fish in troubled waters when they confess, avoid the important and get through the trick, and want to find an opportunity to escape when the opponent is negligent.

It's a pity that their opponents, the agents of the Statistics Bureau, do all they do every day is to play tricks with their hearts, and under the interrogation skills of several senior agents of the Statistics Office, they can't hide anything at all, unless they refuse to speak!

As soon as the confessions of more than a dozen people were checked, the situation was now very clear.

"Signed, this is our current location, according to them, the other two hundred Jinyi guards are not far from us, and within two hours, they will meet in this position!" After knowing the exact information, the stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Statistics immediately reported to Lin Wenbiao on the map: "And this Jinyi Wei Qianhu named Duan Pengcheng has sent someone to notify Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the capital, and notified Xu Xianchun, who went to chase the head of Tan!" He also sent people to make a detour to Hejian Mansion in advance to report the news, so that they could mobilize manpower to intercept us! According to these Jinyi guards, Hejian Mansion can mobilize at least 200 people! Although Duan Pengcheng didn't analyze the specific location where we would board the ship, the approximate range he delineated was very accurate, and included the location where we boarded! ”

"Jin Yiwei is Jin Yiwei! What a couple of hits! Lin Wenbiao frowned and drew on the map: "That is to say, tonight, the two hundred Jinyi Guard cavalry will follow!" It is very likely that Xu Xianchun will also bring more than 700 brocade guards and cavalry to turn around and pursue us! These people alone are very difficult for us to deal with! As for Hejian Mansion, tomorrow will definitely mobilize people to intercept it! No matter how useless they are, as long as they block us a little, tomorrow the capital will send reinforcements from at least two or three thousand officers and soldiers! At that time, we will most likely be besieged at such a distance of 150 to 200 miles! ”

The stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Bureau agreed with Lin Wenbiao's analysis, and said hurriedly: "Signature, what should I do now?" I have to come up with a countermeasure and let the president know as soon as possible? ”

"It's too late to go any further! Inform the president now, it's too late to wait for the president to come up with an idea! Only the soldiers are in danger! Lin Wenbiao said decisively: "Immediately send someone to inform the president and the ship, and let the president leave here quickly, Beizhili is too dangerous, let the president leave immediately!" In addition, let the big ship that received you come to the triangle yodo north depression! Let people inform Madman Tan that we have been exposed, and he can't attract the attention of Jinyiwei! Let him abandon the carriage and board the speedboat, and then quickly rush to Beiwa to meet us! Our convoy is now all heading to the north of the triangle! Dozens of people can take care of the convoy and guard these captured Jinyi guards, and the others, go with me to the place where the two hundred Jinyi guards are assembled, and prepare first to kill this group! ”

"All going to Beiwa? All go to Triangle Lake? From the triangle to the sea, there is still a long Wei River to go! If the officers and soldiers are aware of it, we will be surrounded and killed! The stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Bureau of Statistics wondered.

"I know! However, now that our whereabouts have been completely grasped by the Jinyi Guard, we have no time to get out of the original route! So we had to go back, and tomorrow night the ships would come and meet us. It's hard for Jin Yiwei to think that we didn't follow the original route, but turned back! Even if they gather a few thousand people, it will be difficult to find us in such a large area! When we entered the Triangle Lake, a lake with a radius of several hundred miles, with the strength of three or four hundred water divisions of Hejian Prefecture, there was no way to do anything to us in the Triangle Lake!? As long as we hide for four or five days, the sailors of Hejian Mansion will be tired, and we will go out to sea from the Wei River again! Lin Wenbiao said decisively: "This is the only way now!" ”

Lin Wenbiao didn't come up with this trick all at once out of thin air, in fact, when he made the whole plan, Lin Wenbiao had already thought about this step, but if it didn't work, he retreated into the retreat of Triangle Lake!

Triangle Lake is the name of this era, later generations called this large lake called Dongdian, there is a small lake next to the triangle ingot, is the famous Baiyangdian.

Formed by the flooding of the Daqing River, the triangular lake is also called "overflow lake" and "overflow depression", located between the ancient Baigou River, Zhongting River and Daqing River, because the annual siltation reaches 12 million cubic meters, so it has become a seasonal lake in 1958.

Triangle Lake is located in Bazhou and Wen'an, Langfang City, Hebei Province, and by the 21st century, most of them have dried up.

In later generations, there is no such majestic lake as the lake of the Ming Dynasty.

Dongdian belongs to the upper reaches of the Haihe River water system, there are two rivers in it, there are thousands of miles of Daqing River in the south, and there is Zhongting River in the north, the rivers and lakes are connected, and there is water all year round.

To the west of the lake, the upstream borders are Qiu, Hua, Huang Zhuangzi's overflow depression and floodway. The villages and towns in the inner part of the lake are: Jin Jiabao, Fan Zhuangzi, Wang Zhuangzi, Shijianfang (Bazhou), Ren Zhuangzi, Wang Pimple, South Building, North Building, Hanpodi, Shigou, Wangbo, Cui Zhuangzi, Shengfang, Xiaomiao, Xiaojiabao, Shijianfang (Wen'an), Fuguanying, Anlitun, Tanli, Taitou, and Zhuotou, a total of 21 villages and towns, involving Wen'an, Bazhou, and Jinghai counties.

The total area of the lake is about 250,000 acres, of which 670% belong to Shengfang, so it is also called Shengfang East Lake.

Lin Wenbiao is right, as long as you enter this area, let alone hundreds of sailors, even if you transfer thousands of sailors from Shandong, you are not very worried!

What's more, at the speed of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to mobilize the Shandong Naval Division, it will take at least two months!

Dongdian is adjacent to Wen'an Wa, in fact, Wen'an Wa is a general reference, it is at the junction of Wen'an, Dacheng, Jinghai, Bazhou and other four cities and counties of Luji and Hebei, with an area of 1,192 square kilometers.

Wen'an Wa undertakes the Guxiang River, Daqing River, Yongding River, Ziya River, Hutuo River and other tributary rivers to make water, the terrain is low, the depression is widely distributed, the lowest place is less than two meters above sea level, and the confluence area of the main and guest water reaches 11,203 square kilometers.

Dongdian is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Daqing River, in the north-central part of the Wen'an Valley. The Dongdian in history is "Miao Ran huge immersion, clear and clear, the port is vertical and horizontal, and the circulation is permeating".

The name of Dongdian Lake is derived from Baiyangdian Lake, because people are accustomed to call Baiyangdian Lake Xidian.

Dongdian is also called Triangle Lake because of its normal annual scenery lake shape, so the "Triangle Lake" in the ancient chronicles refers to this lake.

Seeing that Lin Wenbiao had made up his mind, the stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Bureau had no choice but to say: "I will arrange for someone to report the news immediately, and the signature can rest assured." However, since we have thought about retreating into the triangle, why do we still want to kill the 200 brocade guards nearby? It was already very difficult to kill these nearly 100 brocade guards just now. ”

"If we don't kill these 200 brocade guards, it's hard to ensure that they don't find out our whereabouts, after killing these 200 brocade guards, we have enough time to evacuate tonight and cover up the direction of the evacuation. Tomorrow, Xu Xian Chunguang will take a day or two to lead people to find the three brocade guards, which can give us enough time! Lin Wenbiao explained: "Even if we can't kill all the other party and kill most of these 200 people, the rest of the people will not dare to follow us anymore, and they will definitely retreat and wait to meet the team!" ”

The stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Bureau nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful." ”

After a quick decision, we went our separate ways.

Lin Wenbiao took a mixed team composed of nearly 500 agents of the Statistics Department and non-commissioned officers of the escort team to the place where the other two hundred-man Jinyi Guard cavalry were about to meet to ambush!

Just now 500 people beat 100 people, this time it's 500 people against 200 people, and the difficulty is twice as great!

After already knowing the movements of Jinyiwei, Lin Wenbiao doesn't need to catch it anymore, and the order given to everyone is that there is no need to keep grenades, and they will be used up all at once.

There weren't many of them, more than 150 grenades, and they could only be used in the first round!

Choose a location for the ambush and wait for the other party to meet.

The speed of Jin Yiwei is very fast, a little faster than Lin Wenbiao's expected rendezvous speed!

After the 200-person Jinyi Guard cavalry met, the two leading Jinyi Guards Qianhu exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went to chase Duan Pengcheng's Jinyi Guard cavalry.

Jinyiwei is still very disciplined, these two 100-person Jinyiwei teams have been exercising for more than eight hours from early morning to nearly midnight at this time! Except for the fact that the horses had to rest a little to prevent them from getting tired, they hardly stopped, and even ate only a few dry food for two meals.

"The marks are all done, don't wait for Lord Xu to come with a large group of people, you can't find any trace of us." A brocade-clothed guard Qianhu rode on a horse and admonished the people below.

His men agreed.

Another Jinyi Wei Qianhu said softly: "Senior brother, don't be so loud! In case the thief is alarmed. ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu surnamed Gao laughed: "Lao Liu, you are really funny, we haven't even met Lao Duan yet, where can we meet a thief?" The thief was chased by Lao Duan, but he was afraid that he was desperately fleeing for his life! ”

"Otherwise, these people are not idle! I faintly heard a noise just now! You may be far away and don't hear it. Jinyi Wei Qianhu, surnamed Liu, replied.

"Ringing? What's the noise? "The surname is Gao's Jinyi Wei Qianhu Qidao.

"It's like the sound of a cannon!" Jin Yiwei Qianhu, surnamed Liu, replied: "It's like the kind of movement I heard in Jingshi this morning. ”

"You mean? That gang of thieves still dares to turn around and beat Lao Duan's people? They are all carriages, we are all riding horses, they fight with us, aren't they looking for death? They can't catch up with us, as long as they dare to stop, let's play and kill them! Jinyi Wei Qianhu surnamed Gao smiled disapprerovitically.

"Be careful! Life is your own. Jinyi Wei Qianhu, surnamed Liu, muttered.

The Jinyi Wei Qianhu surnamed Gao was about to say again, when he heard a thunderous sound: "Release!" ”

Then there are the 'stones' that fall from the sky in the night!

Many stones directly hit the heads of the Jinyi guards, and directly smashed people into pieces.

But it's not scary to be hit on the head by a stone, it's scary to explode from a stone!

Bang bang! Bang bang!

The dense explosion was still in a state of rest, and all the 200 brocade guards who had not yet set off as a whole army became a rain of blood flying in the sky.

The Jinyi guards can't even think of death, Beizhili, who has always been very peaceful, what happened suddenly? Why are there so many demons everywhere? And it seems that they also specifically pick the officers and soldiers to do it?

Although they came out to perform the task and had a certain vigilance, they were used to the pursuit, and they were used to the prey only running away, and they only cared about the rhythm of chasing, and suddenly changed the rules of the game, which was really impossible to adapt to for a while.

In fact, there is not much difference between the combat effectiveness and technical and tactical levels of the two sides, but the difference is also at the political level and the psychological level.

Jin Yiwei felt that he was a soldier and the other party was a thief.

And the mixed team composed of agents of the Statistics Agency and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team felt that they were people who were for the common people, people who fought for the will to unite their will, defend the president, and fight for the liberation of all mankind, they were righteous, and Jinyiwei was a bunch of scum of the family, vampires! Either they directly oppress the people and loot the people's fat and ointment, or they are the minions of the imperial court, helping corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the people and loot the people's fat and ointment!

It's a pity that these psychological levels are different, and it is difficult for people on both sides to reflect from the fight.

After a wave of bombing, there were about 100 people left in the 200 brocade guards, and the 500 people who rushed up from here in the face of the 500 people who rushed up frantically fought desperately!

Both sides are actually short knives. It's just that Jinyiwei's embroidered spring knife is slightly longer than Baojun's knife.

However, most of the brocade guards do not use embroidered spring knives, but ordinary short knives.

The embroidered spring knife is a conceptual saber of the Ming Dynasty's secret service agency Jinyiwei and the Imperial Forest Army. The shape of the embroidered spring knife combines the characteristics of the Japanese knife imported into China during the Kanhe period, and in the middle and late periods, it is more inclined to the local special tailor-made waist knife of the Ming Dynasty.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" has a record, the Jiajing period of the Jinyi Wei commander - Zhang Jue's epitaph has written "give the four beasts unicorn clothes, Luan with embroidered spring knives, silver scoop square bag three things", Jiajing Emperor patrol Chengtian, specially ordered Zhang Jue "to drive the matter, - cut the machine to rely on the next Yan, still add food to command the servants." Spontaneously driving to returning to Luan, the gifts of flying fish python clothes, money, stables, wine and rice, and the advantages of the summoning and face-to-face edicts cannot be enumerated. ”

It can be seen that the embroidered spring knife in the flying fish suit is rewarded by the emperor, and it is not shared by everyone in the brocade clothes.

The brocade guards have crossbow arrows, as do the mixed team of statistics agency agents and non-commissioned officers of the Guardian Corps.

Moreover, the crossbow arrows of the mixed team composed of the agents of the Statistics Bureau and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team are obviously better than the crossbow arrows of the Jinyi Guard, because Weijiazhuang already has rubber technology!

Crossbow arrows were originally used for short- and medium-distance combat, and you have to use a hard bow for medium and long distances!

The crossbow arrows of the Statistics Department are bowstrings, and the crossbow arrows used by the mixed team of agents and non-commissioned officers of the Statistical Service are made of hard rubber, which has better stability and accuracy, and is much better than the crossbow arrows of the Jinyi Guard in terms of continuous firing and reloading speed!

However, this does not prevent the rest of the brocade clothes from fighting to the death!

In particular, the senior surname of the two Jinyi Wei Qianhu was even braver, and his men worked hard, killing five or six agents of the Statistics Bureau and non-commissioned officers of the escort team in a row.

Lin Wenbiao secretly observed it, couldn't help but be furious, and threw the short knife in his hand directly over, but the Gao surnamed Jinyi Wei Qianhu reacted so quickly, and it seemed that he had eyes on the side, and he actually dodged the fatal blow of the vest! It's just a little bit of a bruise on my arm.

"Humph! Despicable villain! Dare to plot! The Jinyi Wei Qianhu surnamed Gao was angry and scolded contemptuously.

Lin Wenbiao ignored him and continued to participate in the fight, this chaotic fight, even people of Lin Wenbiao's level participated in it personally, this is also to set an example for the mixed team composed of agents of the Statistics Bureau and non-commissioned officers of the escort team who participated in the battle! Let's unite and win the opponent as soon as possible!

Jinyi Wei Qianhu surnamed Gao was very angry when he saw that the other party didn't reply, so he wanted to come and take Lin Wenbiao directly, but he only took two steps, his head was dizzy, and he lay on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, and died of foaming at the mouth!

Jinyiwei's knives are generally fed with poison, and in a battle with Jinyiwei just now, many injured statistical agency agents and escort non-commissioned officers were poisoned.

The brocade guards are poisonous, and the short knives of the agents of the Statistics Office and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team are even more poisonous! And they are all hydrides, and the toxicity is much more violent than the poison of Jinyiwei's crane-topped red, and the onset is much faster.

There were only twenty or thirty people left who died, and they all wanted to take their horses and escape! However, the mixed team of agents of the Statistics Department and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team had received orders not to let one go, and during the scuffle, it was very careful that someone wanted to escape.

At this time, although the mixed team composed of agents of the Statistics Bureau and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team also died seventy or eighty people, it was already a huge advantage of more than ten people fighting one, and it would not let people escape easily.

Some people could not get horses, so they galloped on foot, only to be hacked to death by agents of the Statistics Bureau, or non-commissioned officers of the escort team.

Although this battle was a little more tragic than the previous one, it took about the same time as the previous one, and it ended in about ten minutes.

Real fights are not films, TV series, there is no martial arts, roar haha and the like, they are all real knives and real guns, touch it and die, if you want to have skills, you can dodge more than experienced veterans, and often more than a dozen moves in the past can not hurt the enemy.

"Signed, they're all dead!" The stationmaster of the Beijing Station of the Statistics Department reported to Lin Wenbiao.

Fifth Master Chang was also very happy, he had just killed six Jinyi Guards, and said with a smile: "Jinyi Guards are just vain!" Nothing remarkable! ”

Lin Wenbiao didn't have time to laugh, so he hurriedly ordered: "Clean up the scene!" The corpses are all gone, the horses are pulled away, and they are buried after a little further walking! Don't let anyone find out! ”

The agents of the Statistics Office and the non-commissioned officers of the escort team agreed and lit torches, kerosene lamps and other luminous objects to clean up the scene carefully.

They are all trained and veterans, and although it is difficult to say that they did not leave a trace in a tight time, they can at least make it difficult for people to find that this was once the place where 200 brocade guards gathered, and it will not be obvious that there have been violent, large-scale fights here!

Lin Wenbiao not only wanted Xu Xianchun and others to come over with a large team of people and couldn't find anyone, but also wanted them to wonder how these 300 Jinyi guards suddenly disappeared mysteriously!

Regardless of whether Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng will suspect that there are traitors among their people, anyway, if they do this, it will definitely make Jinyiwei feel scared and make them suspicious.

The more suspicious the Jinyi guards are, the more time they can buy for the detachment of agents and non-commissioned officers of the Statistical Bureau, as well as thousands of carriages and a cache full of gold and antique treasures!

After cleaning the battlefield, the traces left on the route to the north depression of the triangle along the carriage of the brigade were carefully swept all the way!

Unless Tian Ergeng and Xu Xian were clever enough to calculate that they were going to Beiwa, they would have no chance at all if they wanted to trace them from the traces.

At this time, Xu Xianchun with about 400 people was still confronting the 100 people of Madman Tan, consuming time with each other!

Xu Xianchun knew that the other party was attracting his attention, but the other party also had a lot of carriages, and he didn't know if these carriages were filled with a large amount of gold and antique treasures, where would he easily give up this piece of fat?

Another point, other places are still searching for thieves, and this group of thieves is already in place, so you can't let go of a group of thieves who are in force, let them go, and ignore them, right?

Xu Xianchun's slightly tired eyes were already bloodshot, and he stared fiercely at the pile of carriages by the river.
