Chapter 1035: The Abandoned Sentry Tower and the Bowstring (Second Update)

Chapter 1035

An hour later, in the name of inspecting the border, Ye Bosheng, the guard of Anding Fort, selected nearly 100 henchmen, rode out of Anding Fort, and headed west.

And they rushed to an abandoned fortress on the border of Song and Liao, and there, they found a almost complete house, where it was full of several large boxes of clothes.

Soon, these Liao knights wearing iron armor were covered with dusty leather robes on the outside, and took off the Liao-style iron helmet on top of their heads, replaced with leather helmets, and everything else on their bodies that was easy for people to find out their identities would be gathered up and put in boxes.

Then, the cavalryman, who could no longer see which country or tribe it was, had no banner or insignia, quietly left the stronghold and continued to gallop westward.

All the way to the west, far bypassing Youzhou, came to a mountain about eighty miles away from Youzhou, the more than 100 cavalry stopped and sent out rangers to scatter to guard, and the main force of the cavalry quietly lurked in the dense forest from the avenue about Li Xu waiting.

Nobakatsu looked a little anxious and walked around the dense forest. I've been thinking about whether my move is too risky.

However, when he thought of the poverty in Andingbao these days, and then thought about the prosperity of the states on the northwestern road of the Song Kingdom, his heart couldn't help but rise with resentment.

The development of North Shaanxi Road can be said to be thriving, and before him, he quietly dressed up as a Liao businessman to enter Youzhou and Hongzhou, saw the prosperity of North Shaanxi Road, and then looked back at the lifeless Xiazhou.

Naturally, there is a huge gap in mood, especially the Anding Fort where he is stationed, except for the two thousand Liao troops, there are almost no ordinary people, let alone women.

And every month, I can only get that pitiful money, and even when I go to the gold cave in Hongzhou, I rush away every time and return in defeat.

He is a stable and conservative general, not to mention the poor ghosts under him, I don't know how much envy of the wealth in the hands of those merchants is.

If the eyes are red for a long time, they will naturally make some moves, that is, that Yelu Yong and them, who have quietly done several votes, were furious when Ye Bosheng learned about it, and wanted to punish them.

However, for the sake of Yeluyong's group of guys who are respectful to themselves on weekdays, plus Yeluyong and others are willing to contribute most of the looted property.

And the Song court only thought that it was done by the thieves, and even Wang Yang, the pacification envoy of the North Shaanxi Road, specially sent an envoy to ask the east of the Daliao River to clear out the bandits.

Seeing that the other party didn't realize that it was the officers and soldiers of the Liao State who did it, Ye Bosheng naturally stopped pursuing it, and after that, Ye Bosheng even occasionally took action in person.

It's just that it's very careful every time, and it's not too frequent, but once you can start a business without capital through such means.

Naturally, it was difficult to stop, but the last time he wanted to attack a caravan on the road between Hongzhou and Youzhou, he encountered a patrol of the Song army, and Ye Bosheng did not dare to reveal his identity, so he could only take about 20 brothers to the north and flee away.

After that, he didn't make another move for nearly three months, but this time, after hearing Ye Luyong's report, there was at least 50,000 pieces of property, and Ye Bosheng couldn't hold it anymore.

Anyway, more than three months have passed, and the vigilance of the Song people will not be so high, if this vote can be successful, then at least he can enjoy himself for a while.

"Wang Darttou, we have walked nearly seventy miles today, and now it is getting late, why don't we set up camp and rest first?" Seeing that the sun was already in the west, and there was no sign on the road, the shopkeeper of the trading house stopped the horse and turned his head to ask Wang Darttou, who had been riding his horse and following him.

"We are almost a hundred miles away from Liuhe Fort, it seems that we can only camp in the wild today, Wang remembers, there is an abandoned sentry tower in that direction, why don't we go there and camp?" The experienced Wang Darttou looked around, nodded, and gave his own advice.

"This road is too gentle, no one knows when there will be people coming, in case of gangsters or something, there is no danger to defend here, and over there, there is a sentry tower, the ground is higher......"

At the moment, with the light of dusk left, the convoy left the avenue, turned to the north, and went out of about two wild roads, and sure enough, I saw a sentry tower that had been abandoned built on a gentle slope, and there was a stream gurgling on the east side.

Sure enough, it was a good place to camp and rest, and soon, together with the cart of the shopkeeper Liu, it was pushed and pulled to the bottom of the sentry tower, and then the mules and horses pulling the cart were led aside to feed the food, and a bonfire was lit here to start cooking and eating.

After a short time, the smell of food began to spread around the watchtower......

On the top of the watchtower, two executioners stood on it, looking around boredly, the east and west sides of this watchtower are woods, and the south side is leading to the avenue, and the north side is a cliff, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder it was selected to build the enemy detection watchtower.

The sparse woods could not hide anything in front of the afterglow of the setting sun, so after the two executioners in charge of the guard made some rounds, they did not continue, and leisurely shouted to the brothers who were cooking downstairs to hurry up and bring food up.

At this moment, the sun has completely set below the horizon, and the forests on both sides of the watchtower gradually began to appear ghosts and ghosts.

Nobakatsu, including his men, each has a wooden stick in their mouths to prevent them from making noises subconsciously.

They all cautiously approached the gentle slope where the watchtower was located, and with the guidance of the firelight, it naturally did not take much effort.

After they had a steaming dinner, they chatted with a group of runners and darts from the Ziyongsheng Dart Bureau, and personally inspected the carriages, and then they boarded the mule cart specially prepared for him with peace of mind, and got ready to sleep.

Time passed, and most of the executioners had already fallen asleep, and the executioners on the top of the watchtower had also changed to a new one.

The dart head and the familiar executioner talked with each other, leaning on the edge of the fire and pretending to sleep, everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful, and at this time, Ye Bo Sheng, who had been sitting under the tree for half an hour, finally stood up.

After leading his subordinates to move forward for nearly thirty paces, he stopped at the junction of the gentle slope and the trees, and then slowly removed the hard bow he was carrying on his back.

With Ye Bosheng's actions, the cross-dressed Liao warriors behind him also drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the figure on the gentle slope......

On the other side, Ye Luyong, led thirty Liao warriors, had also quietly waded through the stream, and the long knife at his waist was unsheathed, lurking in the dark, waiting for the time to attack.
