Chapter 24: The Monkey King's Battle (2)
"Bau, it's up to you." Du Heng suddenly remembered Bau's lion roar magic skill, so he reminded.
"No, this place is too close to Pyongyang City, and Bau's lion's roar will probably alarm the enemies in the city." Xie Yuan said.
"I heard from the old people in the clan that the ears of this monster are different from other beasts, and I'm afraid my lion roar skill won't work on them." Bau said.
For a while, it was difficult for the team members to find an effective response. The dense snipers in front of them are ready to attack.
Just when everyone was tired of coping, the jumper behind Bau jumped onto the rock behind him, then straightened up and let out a peculiar long howl. "Whew-"
After the whistle, I saw the branches of the trees swaying throughout the valley, from far and near.
In an instant, several people were once again stunned by the scene in front of them: where the branches of the trees were shaking, the mountains were full of monkeys jumping towards them!
"My mother! This monkey ancestor can really command all the monkeys in the world! Shi Tianji looked back at Jumping and exclaimed.
The monkeys kept jumping from the trees, attacking the snipers on the ground from the air in twos and threes with numerical superiority. A big battle between a dense snipe and thousands of monkeys is staged in Ridge Mountain.
For a time, on the ridge, two different groups of animals engaged in a fierce confrontation. Rolling, jumping, grabbing, biting, the two sides are inseparable. The sounds of intimidation, howls, wails, and screams made the small team members watching the battle shudder.
Although the monkeys have a numerical advantage, they face a monster sniper that is several times more ferocious than themselves, and after a fierce fight, a large number of monkeys are scratched and bitten to death.
Seeing this scene, the jumping jumper standing on the rock and supervising the battle let out a hiss: "Hiss-"
Hearing the cry of jumping, the monkeys involved in the battle withdrew from the battle, jumped to the tree, and then quietly watched the jumping on the rock.
Jumping glanced at the snipers on the woodland unhurriedly, and then, at great speed, soared up from the rocks and swooped down towards the one closest to the rock. Before the sniper could react, Jump Jump had already jumped on its back. Jumping on the Sniper's back, he quickly stretched out his two front paws and grabbed the Sniper's eyes below. The sniper's eyes were suddenly scratched to blood. Jump back to the rock, sit on it, and continue to watch.
The blind sniper screamed and scurried around desperately, hitting his head heavily on a large tree and falling to the ground. Inspired by Jumping's move, the monkeys in the trees imitate Jumping's movements and jump down from the trees to attack the Sniper's eyes. As a result, the tide of battle took a turn for the worse, and one by one, after being blinded by the monkeys, they either hit their heads against hard objects and died, or they stumbled and rolled down the cliff.
In less than half an hour, the battle was basically over. The ridge was littered with the corpses of snipers. The few remaining uninjured snipers, forced by the powerful attack of the monkeys, withdrew from the battle in terror and fled deeper into the valley.
The battle is over. Jumping off the rocks and into the group of monkeys, it was like a general inspecting his victorious soldiers, and from time to time he patted the backs of several monkeys who had shown bravery in battle. Hopping walked around the group of monkeys, and everywhere it went, the monkeys respectfully gave way to it. After patrolling his troops. Jump let out a few low screams. The monkeys immediately dispersed in all directions and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"My mother! I said Brother Monkey, no, Monkey Daddy, Monkey Grandpa, Monkey Ancestor! My old Shi is really convinced! Shi Tianji was completely conquered by Jump's perfect performance just now, and he walked over and gave Jumpy a salute, and his mouth was full of admiration.
"What kind of monster is this snipe? It looks like a wolf is not a wolf, and a fox is not a fox. Xie Yuan had just recovered from the shock when he heard Bau call the animal a sniper, so he stepped forward to ask Bau for advice.
"It's a monster that eats people's hearts." Bau tells everyone what he has learned from his people about the snipe, "The villagers in the village down there who died tragically should have been killed by these monsters. ”
"Thanks to Hop Hop just now!" Xie Yuan said with emotion.
At this time, everyone remembered the woman beside them. Seeing that her clothes were being torn and bitten by the sniper who was chasing her, Luo Shiyin took off his shirt and let the woman put it on.
"Thank you!" The woman glanced gratefully at Luo Shiyin.
After Li Ruzhu's inquiry, she learned that the woman's maiden family was in a small village below, her name was Cao Lixiang, and she had just married to a family engaged in handmade clothing in Pyongyang last year. Recently, due to the war, there are very few people who come to order clothes, and her in-laws' family is not very busy, so she takes the time to go back to her parents' house to have a look. I didn't expect to be attacked by the sniper at the entrance of the village.
Cao Lixiang warmly invited Luo Shiyin and them to her mother's house to sit. It seems that he does not yet know what is happening in the village.
"Should I tell Cao Lixiang the truth?" Luo Shiyin hesitated a little, "It seems that it can't be hidden, Cao Lixiang has already arrived at the door of her mother's house, and she really can't find any reason not to let her enter the village." simply told her what happened at home before she entered the house, so that she could be mentally prepared in advance, so as not to suffer a bigger blow after seeing the tragic death of her relatives at home. ”
Luo Shiyin called Xie Yuan aside and asked Xie Yuan to tell Cao Lixiang the truth and appease Cao Lixiang more. Xie Yuan understood and walked to Cao Lixiang's side, told her everything that happened in her home and village in Korean, and comforted her not to be too sad.
"Daddy...... ......After listening to Xie Yuan's introduction, Cao Lixiang was like five thunderbolts, she shouted her father's name, cried and pushed away everyone, and rushed to the village below the mountain like crazy.
The crowd hurried after her and ran to the village.
The first family in the east of the village is Cao Lixiang's maiden family. The tragic deaths in the family were Cao Lixiang's grandfather, grandmother, parents and his three younger brothers. Seeing the tragic death of his seven relatives, Cao Lixiang fainted from crying. Xie Yuan pinched her hard among people. After coming over for a while, Cao Lixiang came to her senses and still cried. Li Ruzhu and Xie Yuan kept comforting her beside her.
When Cao Lixiang's mood stabilized, Luo Shiyin told the team to stop marching and rest in the village for the night. Nearly 80 villagers in the village died tragically, and the team had to stay behind to help Cao Lixiang bury the bodies of his relatives and other deceased people in the village.
With the help of the team members, Cao Lixiang successfully buried the remains of his relatives and other people in the village.
When it got dark, Cao Lixiang prepared dinner for the team members and packed up the beds, and then went to his east wing to rest alone. The excessive grief made her no appetite for dinner at all.
After dinner, the four members of the team and the guide Li Ruzhu sat around the square table.
"Tomorrow we will be able to reach the Golden Light Temple. Let's discuss, how can we complete this reconnaissance mission into the city? Although Luo Shiyin is accustomed to acting arbitrarily, this trip to Pyongyang is related to the victory or defeat of the first battle of the army aiding Korea, and he still has to be cautious without understanding the environment inside and outside the city, and he wants to listen to everyone's opinions first.
Shi Tianji, Xie Yuan, Ba Wu, and Li Ruzhu all knew the importance of this mission in their hearts, and after listening to Luo Shiyin's words, the three of them all sat at the table and pondered, unable to think of what to say for a while.
"Why don't you give a general introduction to Pyongyang City first?" Seeing that no one spoke, Luo Shiyin said to Li Ruzhu.
Li Ruzhu gave a general account of the enemy situation in Pyongyang that he knew: In Pyongyang was stationed in the city of Pyongyang, the headquarters of the First Army of the First Army of the First Army. Opinions vary on the number of the troops, with some saying that there are only a few thousand men, while others say that there are as many as 50,000 or 60,000. Before Konishi's troops attacked Pyongyang Castle, most of the city's citizens fled to the nearby mountains for refuge. After the Japanese army captured Pyongyang, Konishi Yukicho adopted a policy of gentleness and formulated a series of measures to restore the order of life and production in Pyongyang as much as possible. It seems that the Japanese army wants to stay in Pyongyang for a long time. In addition, they needed a large number of manpower to repair the walls damaged during the siege, so they often sent troops to the mountains to arrest people. Some Japanese soldiers often went to the mountains to loot Korean women and take them to the cities to vent their animal desires. In terms of the entry and exit of personnel, the Japanese army uniformly made passes for the people in the city. It is difficult to enter Pyongyang City without a pass. In particular, the gates of the west, north, and east of Pyongyang were inspected quite strictly. Only the southern side of the gate is relatively loosely checked, and it is easier to enter the city from there.
"It seems that we should first think about how to get into the city of Pyongyang?" After Li Ruzhu gave a briefing on the situation in Pyongyang, Xie Yuan took the lead in speaking.
"yes, why don't we climb into the city at night?" Bau then said to Xie Yuan.
"This method is not proper, if we all climb in, what should Brother Xie Yuan do? Moreover, this method is also easy to alarm the enemy. Li Ruzhu disagrees with Bau's view.
"Even if you go in, you don't have a place to stand." Xie Yuan said.
"General Li, do you see any people in Pyongyang who are more familiar to you?" Luo Shiyin asked Li Ruzhu.
"It's a shame not to hide it from the commander. The defenders of Pyongyang were killed and fled during the siege of the city, and my men were long gone. There are a few places in the city that I know more about where I can stay, but I don't know what the city of Pyongyang is like now after the looting of the Japanese army. Li Ruzhu said.
"According to my Lao Shi, everything will be decided by the commander, and I will definitely follow you. You let me go east, I don't go west, let me beat the dog, I don't scold the chicken! Shi Tianji saw that the more people talked, the more complicated it became, and he was a little impatient. The commander has the grace of knowing himself, and Shi Tianji has an absolute loyalty and obedience to Luo Shiyin from the heart.
Luo Shiyin pressed Shi Tianji's hand and signaled him not to get excited. Then asked Li Ruzhu: "How far is it from Jinguang Temple here?" ”
"There is a valley called Wild Wolf Valley in front, and through this valley, you can see the Jinguang Temple on the opposite peak." Li Ruzhu said.
"Then we will go through the Wild Wolf Valley tomorrow and rush to the Jinguang Temple, and then decide on the next move after meeting the abbot of Xiuneng." Luo Shiyin saw that it was difficult to come up with a good plan of action for a while, so he concluded.
