Chapter 272 [Directly Attacking the Wolves]
Here Ma Wei is in a daze, feeling as if his body has been bumped in his sleep? And more and more feel like it's shaking badly? Slowly, he opened his eyes, but he didn't expect that he was tied hand and foot in a wooden box outside, and a piece of cloth was wrapped around his mouth.
He struggled desperately to escape, how could he move for a while and find that this would not work, and he might be physically exhausted if he moved?
So he began to move slowly close to the wooden box, and looked out through the gap, only to find that he was being escorted by a large number of soldiers, and he did not know where to go?
At this moment, His Royal Highness the county lord Zhu Youlan, who was also blindfolded and wearing a jacket, found that her hands were tied, she struggled to break free and bit the rope with her teeth a few times, before she could barely break free of the rope and let go of her arm to untie the rope, and shouted a few times, "Let go of me, let go of this county lord!" ”
After shouting a few times, the soldiers next to the carriage couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily, "Shut up!" To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that you are His Royal Highness the Lord of Daming County, my brothers would have already done you! ”
The magistrate of Wuqing County, who was at the forefront, waved his hand to let the soldiers speed up their pace, and be sure to rush out of Wuqing County to reach the Yang Village Inspection Division before dark.
As soon as the pursuers behind him were led by Wu Junzhen out of the city gate, some Ming soldiers persuaded him not to pursue anymore! After all, they're not sure where they've gone? The second is that I am afraid that I will be ambushed if I chase down? Because there may be other forces in the vicinity, such as; Bandits, rioters, bandits, robbers, rogue Shunjun, and other uncertain factors are in it, but Wu Junzhen repeatedly asked them to move forward, so he chased forward for a mile.
At the fork in the road, everyone didn't know who the escaped county lord and the rogue, who kidnapped His Royal Highness the county lord? And how to chase this fork in the road? Moreover, the soldiers did not belong to Wu Junzhen, the right guard of Tianjin, so they did not continue to obey him, but persuaded him to retreat and return to Wuqing County first.
Even Liu Ruilin, who was accompanying him, saw Wu Junzhen, who was dazed, and thought that he should not act recklessly, after all, there were not many troops and they were not the troops of the headquarters!
After some persuasion by Liu Ruilin, Wu Junzhen slowly calmed down and returned to Wuqing County, when the army returned to the city, it happened to meet the commander of the right guard of Ming Tongzhou on horseback, and the soldiers hurriedly came over to salute and said, "The little one who is in charge of the guard is the commander, everything is going well here, but I just let go of the magistrate who colluded with the Liukou." ”
Seeing the soldiers saluting, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin also dismounted and came over to salute, thinking that the commander of the right guard of Mingtongzhou would be angry? Who knew he wasn't angry! Instead, he laughed and said, "Hehehe, don't worry! This matter would have been secretly observed and followed. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wu Junzhen immediately asked for orders to lead troops to pursue, and Liu Ruilin also stepped forward to echo.
However, a large group of people instantly surrounded the people, knelt down in front of the Ming soldiers and worshipped, thanking them for repelling the Liukou and rescuing the county seat, as well as scaring away the county magistrate who was doing evil and oppressing the people's land.
But there is one thing that makes Wu Junzhen feel that he can't let go? He felt that since someone was following him now, he might as well continue to solve the case and catch the mysterious white figure Dryfish? And the agile black shadow, see who is sacred? If we don't eradicate the scourge for the people, the drought will continue to harm the villagers.
At this moment, the generals who were captured by the Ming army asked the soldiers to escort them over and handed them over to the Wei Commander to deal with, among which the Ming Wuqing Wei Cao Yun Baihu: Gu Dasheng, afraid of killing the head, knelt directly on the ground and said, "Great, my lord, spare my life!" What do you want to know? The small ones must report truthfully and never hide the truth! ”
Such an uneasy move reminded Wu Junzhen of the drought? He hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask you?" ”
The kneeling captive replied, "The little one is this Wuqing Wei Cao Yun Hundred Households, adults can come to me if they have any questions, please don't kill me!" Let's let the small ones live! Thank you. ”
With an idea, he asked with reverse thinking: "You are a hundred households of Caoyun, so you must be very clear about the surrounding transportation and merchants, as well as some suspicious aspects?" Have you heard anything unusual in the crowd? Please be honest! ”
After thinking about it, Ming Caoyun Baihu said, "It seems to be there?" Before, I remember that a group of Jin merchants from the northwest said that the merchants who passed in the jungle from here to the west would lose their horses for no reason? Or even the disappearance of people? Lord Zuo Shou Yu Qianhu and the Commander of the Guard have also checked before, but there is no news! There is often a decrease in population in this county, and I don't care about it! But recent deaths have been uncommon! ”
After listening to the lecture, Wu Junzhen roughly locked his target in the woods in the northwest direction outside the city, and he borrowed some soldiers and horses from the commander of the right guard of Ming Tongzhou, because he learned from the Ming soldiers that the group of soldiers who had escorted His Royal Highness the county lord had all been killed! In other words, they now have no troops to mobilize!
Before leaving, Liu Ruilin suddenly thought of something? Although the white figure resembles a drought? However, this thing does not seem to have the mysterious power of fear, and every time he appears in the city and outside the city, there is no major disaster, and it does not conform to the appearance of a real drought, so Liu Ruilin borrowed a hunting dog from the local villagers to try to see if it is a human or a ghost?
When leaving, there was a Ming Tongzhou right guard in the county to command the town to guard the city, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin set off with 100 soldiers to the northwest woods.
At this time, the southern Sichuan Cheng announced the political envoy to the Chongqing Prefecture area, and the war of the Great Western Army had spread to the surrounding states and counties, Ming Fuzhou generals: Zeng Ying, Ming Sichuan Cheng announced the political envoy Si Sichuan Dongzuo to participate in politics: Liu Liangchang, Ming Fuzhou left wing general: Li Zhanchun, Ming Fuzhou right wing general: Yu Dahai, gathered troops at full speed to Ba County, the capital of Chongqing Prefecture, Ba County, between Fotu Pass and Erlang Pass and the local Ming army to strengthen the defense.
This move was the king of Daxi, who had reconnoitred the terrain in advance: Zhang Xianzhong, saw through him called the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and discussed the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and the military tent had a young talent in the western governor of Xi'an: Li Dingguo (Zhang Dingguo), he thought that the current Causeway Gorge was guarded by his own headquarters soldiers and horses, and the Ming army basically did not want to come, especially the stone pillar in the territory of Chongqing Wei made the white pole soldiers of the elite Sichuan army of the Ming Empire unable to enter the capital.
As for the rest of the Ming army, they are basically scum, and any one of the generals can be transferred to guard the river and set up checkpoints to block the attack.
King Onishi agreed with this statement, but still put down the three generals and stationed them near the capital of Chongqing Prefecture, just in case, and left them separately; General Daxi Pingdong: Sun Kewang (Zhang Kewang), General Daxi Dingbei: Ai Nengqi (Zhang Nengqi), Governor of Daxi Zhongjun: Wang Shangli, Former Military Governor of Daxi: Wang Dingguo, Governor of Daxi Houjun: Feng Shuangli, and other generals and other generals; Governor of the Left Army of Daxi: Ma Yuanli, Governor of the Right Army of Daxi: Zhang Hualong, the two were transferred to Tongluo Gorge to fight against the white pole soldiers of the Daming Sichuan Army together with the Governor of Xi'an.
Qin Liangyu, who had previously opened up Kuizhou Mansion to connect the Chongqing Prefecture with the Ming Yipin Edict and the Sichuan General Soldier, led the Sichuan Army's white pole soldiers to take the waterway to catch up with the Ming army in front of the Ming army in various places, and went down to Zhongzhou, Yudu County, Fuzhou, and Changshou County, and arrived at the upper reaches of Tongluo Gorge.
The Ming troops, who were still advancing by boat in hundreds of ships, did not notice any changes on both sides of the strait? The lurking governor of Xi'an did not fire when he saw the Ming army in front of him enter the firing range, but ordered to continue to wait for the arrival of the follow-up army.
After a cup of tea, the governor of the right army of Onishi sent someone to secretly send a message, saying: "For the time being, no Ming ships or marching troops on the shore have been found in the rear. ”
This made the governor of Xi'an Xidu raise a torch to light the fuse and take the lead in bombing the river, and the fierce artillery fire exploded to the surface of the water. Or was it done by bandits? I had to order the middle fleet to let the archers shoot at both sides, and then the Ming army in the previous team turned around and fired back at the shore.
Mrs. Ming Yipin, who was looking at the map in the cabin of the squadron commander, heard the sound of artillery fire, and after hearing the sound of artillery fire, a soldier came to report the battle situation, she hurriedly went out to observe the situation, and immediately ordered that it was not possible to fall in love with the war? After all, they are in the open on the river, and the enemy is not yet unaware and in the dark, not to mention that most of the ships on the river are big ships with flags, and the enemies on both sides of the river have not set up flags! Second, I don't know how many troops there are? Therefore, for the sake of safety, Mrs. Ming Yipin ordered the edict to temporarily withdraw the army and march downstream to the Causeway Gorge.
On the other side, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin drove into the woods at the beginning of the unitary period, because they found a lot of game on the road, and the soldiers went hunting while they were camping, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin felt that they were going to stay here tonight, so they began to order the soldiers to make a fire and bury the pot to cook rice.
The firewood collected was surrounded by the firehead battalion into one mound after another to light a fire, and the soldiers also mixed the prey they had brought to the battalions and the materials brought by the logistics, some chose to barbecue, some chose to cook soup, Wu Junzhen did not dare to be careless and hurriedly ate the roasted rabbit legs and then ordered the soldiers to prepare face towels.
Liu Ruilin, who was a little surprised, asked, "Brother Wu, aren't you here to prevent drought?" ”
Seeing Wu Junzhen nodded and led the hound to take a look around, Liu Ruilin felt strange that if there was a drought here, then it would be impossible for too many animals to survive in the mountains and jungles, and secondly, whether the real drought fish would become younger by attracting human blood and animal blood like the legendary corpse, but the white figure that appeared before did not seem to have this condition? Is it because it has not yet become a refinement?
While the two were chatting, the fireworks in the barracks slowly drifted into the woods, and also attracted the attention of some potential jungle animals, and dozens of eyes that glowed at night were revealed in the jungle.
The soldiers ate and drank soup, and one of them ran to the grass next to him to take a nap, and he quickly unbuckled his trouser belt and closed his eyes to urinate comfortably.
Soon the smell attracted the attention of a group of black-and-white species, and they quickly came to the man with a few movements, and bit his lower body before the man noticed it, causing the man to fall to the ground and roll and shout, "Ah! It hurts, it hurts! ”
The sound alarmed the soldiers who were eating, and several soldiers who had already eaten immediately raised their firearms and ran over, and saw a pack of wolves appearing in front of them, one of them still had blood in his mouth, and the rest of the wolves stared at the soldiers with vicious eyes.
In an instant, there were bursts of screams in the Ming military camp! and the sound of several firearms, including the sound of two explosions, startled Wu Junzhen hurriedly ran over and took out the crutch gun hanging from his waist to load the fire and fire it, and fired at the wolves that pounced on the soldiers.
(Bang, bang, bang) shot at the wolves, and together with Liu Ruilin, he killed more than a dozen wild wolves one after another, so that the Ming soldiers came back to their senses and pulled out their sabers and fought back with bows and arrows and firearms.
As the Ming army counterattacked, the wolves gradually lost their original advantage, and the wild wolves died one after another, and the leading wolf began to be angry, and it quickly raised its head and roared loudly at the sky.
