CHAPTER XXXVI

Horse bandits had little real role in the battle to defend the city, and could only come in handy when they were in pursuit. Rather than let these horse bandits do nothing in the cottage, it is better to send them out. The most powerful thing about the bandits is their destructive power.

The terrain of the cottage was originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now that the defense has been strengthened, it is not easy to break through the cottage in a short period of time. Coupled with Liu Jing's mature and stable character, it is very reassuring to hand over the cottage to Liu Jing to defend Bailijian.

As for Bailijian himself, he took seventy horse bandits and went around the mountains in a big circle, and went straight to the lair that did not collect at night.

Ye Bushu sent most of the elites to attack the cottage, and the defensive force in his lair must be empty, plus Ye Bushu would never have thought that Bai Lijian would make a detour to attack his lair, and under the surprise attack, the success rate will be greatly improved.

The nest is built on a steep hillside, and only a small path can lead to it, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If it is usual, if you want to attack it, you will definitely pay a lot of price. But now the nest that does not collect at night is empty, and the defense force has dropped so much that there is not even a sentry on the road.

Because the mountain road was rugged and it was difficult for the horses to walk, not long after leaving the cottage, Bailijian found a hidden place to hide all the horses, leaving only a few people to guard, and the rest of the people all dismounted and walked.

All the way to the lair of the night bandit, in addition to the loose defense of the night is not collected, the grass clothes that Bai Lijian put on the horse bandits have also made a great contribution. Walking in a grass-covered jungle is unlikely to reveal clues unless someone keeps an eye on the search.

The news of the attack was transmitted early, and when Bai Lijian and his party touched the nest of the night bus, the sky had already darkened. However, in the distance, you can see a puff of black smoke rising into the sky, accompanied by some fire, and occasionally even some shouts of killing.

Bai Lijian was suspicious in his heart, he hadn't sneaked into the nest that didn't collect at night, why was there chaos inside?

"Pick up the speed and move forward! Mangula, you can send someone to touch it again to see what happened! ”

Mangula nodded yes, pulled a young man beside him, and whispered a few words in his ear. The young man nodded, leaped to his feet, and disappeared into the trees in a few moments.

Seeing that this person was agile and neat, Baili Jian couldn't help but be curious, so he asked Mangula, "Who is this person?" ”

"Childe, this is a spy I recruited according to your request, selected from among the Han slaves, named Li Lingfeng. This kid is very clever, he can learn what Childe teaches as soon as he learns, and his equestrian skills are also first-class, but sometimes he loves to be in the limelight. ”

It can be heard that Mangula admires this kid named Li Lingfeng more than he hates it, and Bailijian can't help but be interested in this Li Lingfeng.

If it is really as Mangula said, this Li Lingfeng is a manufacturable material, but it can be reused. Although Mangula is loyal, his ability is limited, and it is really difficult for him to do the work of a spy. In the future, it would be better to let him concentrate on being his personal guard.

It didn't take long for Li Lingfeng to return, along with a captive.

"What's up ahead?" Mangula stepped forward and asked.

Li Lingfeng threw the captive to the ground and replied: "My lord, the cottage in front was attacked, and the attacker set fire to the houses in the cottage with rockets, causing chaos. But because the number of opponents is too small, they have not yet attacked the cottage for the time being. ”

"Then this person is ......," Bailijian pointed to the man lying on the ground.

"This is a person on the attacker's side, who was caught by his subordinates because he was cowardly."

"Do you know who attacked?" Bai Lijian asked.

Li Lingfeng shook his head, kicked the prisoner's chest, and shouted, "Say, who are you?" ”

The captive's body curled up at the kick, and a wail of pain came from his mouth.

Seeing that the captive had no intention of recruiting, Li Lingfeng's face turned cold, and he took out a short blade from his waist, put it against the captive's neck, and threatened: "Say it or not?" Not to mention that a knife will result in you! ”

The captives did not participate in the battle because they were timid, but now that their lives were threatened, they did not care about the physical pain, and hurriedly shouted: "I said, I said! I'm the one who planted the flag! ”

"Flag planter?" Bai Lijian's eyes narrowed, his face sank, and he asked, "How many of you came?" ”

"There are more than 500 people in total, more than 300 who attacked the cottage, and 200 are on guard at the bottom of the mountain, ready to support if something happens."

"Good!" Bai Lijian nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are very honest, this has allowed you to pick up a life." But if you want to get out alive, you have to do something for us. ”

"What...... What the...... Thing? The captive looked at Bai Lijian with a wary expression, but his voice trembled involuntarily.

"It's easy!" Bai Lijian suddenly smiled and said, "I will give you to Ye Buhui." ”

"Huh? Don't ......" Before the captive could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Bai Lijian's gesture to Mangula.

"Childe, just don't send it to the night?" Mangula asked, pointing to the captive who had fallen to the ground.

"Of course not." Bai Lijian smiled and beckoned to Li Lingfeng on the side, and Li Lingfeng immediately approached: "You take him to the side of the camp that doesn't collect at night, wake him up first, and then make some movement to come out, and let the people who don't collect it at night arrest him back." ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Mangula looked at Li Lingfeng, who was leaving excitedly, and asked with a puzzled face: "Childe, even if this person is arrested by the people who don't accept it at night, what if he confesses us?" ”

"What if you got it?" Bai Lijian said indifferently: "His lair is about to be destroyed, even if he knows that we sent him a person, I'm afraid he will have to thank us in his heart." ”

"Childe is smart!"

Bai Lijian looked relaxed on the surface, but he was very uneasy inside. I don't know if Li Lingfeng can arrive in time and bring the news smoothly to the night.

"At this time, the night is not closed, and it should have begun to attack the cottage." Bai Lijian said secretly in his heart.

In front of the gate of the cottage, the battle has reached a fever pitch.

After a tentative attack, Ye Bushu found that the defense in the cottage was not strong, and there was no substantial resistance except for a few arrows flying out sporadically.

This is completely consistent with the information that Ye Bu received recently, except for a battle team of 100 people, the whole village is a number of slaves, and even if you count the slaves, there are less than 300 people. In the face of the strength of more than 500 people on his side, he was simply vulnerable. So the excited night did not stop, and ordered an all-out attack.

But what Ye Bushu didn't expect was that Liu Jing left him a hand, and all the defensive measures he had prepared before were not launched, just to give him a fatal blow when Ye Bushu attacked with all his might.
