Chapter 142: Encounter
Tatu, nicknamed "Otter Rabbit", is also looking at his surroundings and the messy old and new footprints on the road.
He was originally Tutuer, who was born as a private slave with Hu'er blood, and followed the master of the Salt Gang background very early, robbing and killing people or traveling with people from other regions, and fighting in rivers or reeds; I don't know how much blood and human life have been stained on my hands.
After the drought in the Central Plains and the starving people were everywhere and the salt business was not done, he also gathered a group of township party members and salt workers' owners, and first entered the local county government, and fully enjoyed the taste of women in the county governor's house with his first merit; I also witnessed with my own eyes that the master gradually rose after joining the rebel army, from a leader, a big leader, and a leader to a general, a general, and a military master.
Now he has been commanded by the Lord to get rid of some of the obstacles that stand in his way; It's like the leaders and leaders who disappeared one after another during the thousands of miles of the rebel army, or the men, women, and children they encountered on the road.
At least on his saddle, there were several heads of old and new who had turned back as proof; However, the continuous running still made them, the horsemen, accumulate different degrees of exhaustion, so that except for Tatu, who was always expressionless, the others were somewhat sleepy.
Suddenly, among the stones and bushes by the roadside, came a loud number of strange men dressed in grass felt covered with branches and leaves, and whose faces were unrecognizable with mud;
Years of experience and instinct in fighting and fighting saved his life, allowing him to pounce on his horse almost with all his might, and leaving his mount to bear almost all the arrows that came from him; But others were not so lucky.
In the hands of these strange men, a series of crossbow arrows with straight angles radiating like rain hit the plantains, and almost crossed through most of the bodies of the horse team at a glance, and made them fall from their horses like kites with broken strings or withered leaves, leaving behind empty mounts that screamed and screamed.
The moment he fell to the ground with the painful neighing of his crotch mount, Tatu drew the horned bow and hulu from his saddle and slid into the palm of his hand as if he were part of his body, and with the fastest time and reaction under the cover of the tumbling horse, he opened his bow and fired the first arrow in response.
But he was to be disappointed, for the arrows that flew like lightning were soon blocked by the hand raised in the grass; The remaining remnants of the cavalry, who had escaped the attack on horseback, but did not retreat but roared and recoiled, were blocked by the joyful rise of their hands and spear tips in the grass, and in a fierce collision, parry, and screaming, they were poked over and fell off their horses.
Tatu's heart was extremely cold, and he saw that he had been ambushed, and after a few thoughts flashed in his mind, he was left with the last thought of desperately highlighting to bring back this unexpected news;
The virtual monk who should have been entangled in the rights and wrongs and troubles of Baolin Temple in the prediction, and had to involve and negotiate with the local army in Shaoguan, had already returned with his troops in advance. This time, they pursued and intercepted the fish that slipped through the net, and at the same time carried out the task of spying and watching and watching, which was completely meaningless and useless.
However, the other party obviously did not give his people this opportunity and possibility, only heard the ground shake slightly, but there was an enemy horse lurking behind the hill not far away, and suddenly scattered like a large net, and the several horsemen who fled with all their strength were swept in and disappeared.
After half a ring, in the midst of the siege and fighting, Tatu, who was exhausted from knocking down several people, was pushed and forced by several spear tips to trample on the corpses of his subordinates, and fell into the blood and mud;
Then he did not hesitate to use the last bit of strength he had left, and the reverse short knife was wiped against his neck, anyway, he couldn't live to add a hand tail to his master; But at the moment when he touched the skin of his neck and shoulder, he was nailed to the ground by a strong force, and only opened a bleeding opening.
Then he touched a broken arrow with his other hand without hesitation, and was kicked the root of the ear by a big booted foot that suddenly approached, and he was dizzy for a while, and suddenly lost his sense of direction and stable vision in the buzzing noise of breaking the water and land dojo, and then another kick made his eyes black.
"Pipe head, I've caught a vital live mouth."
It was the last voice he heard before he passed out.
"About forty-three horsemen came to the enemy, thirty-five were killed, and seven were wounded,"
Xu Sidao, the direct team officer who was reporting to Zhou Huai'an.
"All of them are equipped with bows and guns, and they have good skills, and their reflexes are also sophisticated."
"If it weren't for the sudden attack with a preambush against the unprepared,"
"I'm afraid that there won't be more than 20 casualties."
"Half a whole squad of fully equipped horsemen."
Zhou Huai'an couldn't help sighing,
"Such a horse team, not to mention the Furious Wind Camp, is very rare, even among the rebels...
"But it's just used to intercept and seal. It's a good gesture."
"Looks like we're going to have to speed things up."
After reopening and sorting out the memory fragments, Zhou Huai'an really realized; There are actually a lot of such things as killing and invading each other in the peasant army, but most of them are covered up in the rolling historical trend, and only special events such as Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi turning their faces into enemies because of the imperial court's recruitment and running away will be mentioned in history;
The kind of harmonious and enterprising atmosphere and orderly daily life that I saw and created in the Raging Wind Camp were just a few abnormal outliers; All kinds of invasions and infighting, which are full of brutality and bloodshed, may be the norm and experience of these peasant rebels along the way. After all, they are not the revolutionary armed forces of later generations, even if they are in a desperate situation, they are more and more courageous and unrepentant, and they are armed with ideals and beliefs.
How big is his heart, so that he will use the standard of the development and growth of the people's army in later generations to bring in the situation and situation in front of him; He regretted his rashness and casualness, and he hated his casualness and lack of focus, so much so that now that he had set his short-term goals, he was about to lose everything he had worked so hard to build and build
Ge Congzhou continued to count the casualties and interrogate the details, looking at the equipment and outfits of these ambush soldiers in surprise and curiosity; It looked like a net of rags dyed with mud and sap; Although it is only the size of a lump when rolled up, it is difficult for people to notice for a while after inserting the newly taken grass branches and draping their heads over their bodies and lying low in the grass and trees; It was those horsemen who would be caught off guard and get up close to the road.
But what surprised him even more was that even in such a small chance battle, there were people from the apprentice team who took paper and pen to gather the people who participated in the battle and questioned them one by one; Then, their thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned were dictated in bits and pieces into a document that was received after the war, and after being solemnly read out and evaluated, they were put into a special document cabinet.
It was these side details presented before and after the war, which seemed to open a special window in front of him, and allowed him to get a glimpse of a completely new world. In comparison, his brother's previous experience and means of self-control and self-cherishing are particularly ridiculous and crude.
And in another place,
"I finally escaped."
In the mountains and forests with intricate roots and thick fallen leaves, Zhao Ziri, who was exhausted and trekking, glared viciously, and the figure not far away who was also walking but looked particularly powerful, this guy surnamed Su must be a disaster star; His reputation for good luck is that he will suck up the fortunes of others around him, and make people die in various accidents; If it weren't for the fact that he had exhausted his strength, he really couldn't beat him if he was ruthless, so he had to open a dojo in his face and drive him out of sight.
"Zhao Guanren, you're okay."
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be aware of it, smiled and said.
"As long as we get out of this forest, we will be free"
"Shut up."
Zhao Ziri was so annoyed that he exploded on the spot, but he didn't expect to stagger forward with a kick, and he fell down with a bang.
This roll slipped down the slope at least seven or eight feet away, and when he fell down and got up again, he heard the call of Colonel Nasu on the slope in the distance.
"Zhao Guanren must not have anything to do,"
Then, he saw that on the road not far away, there were just a team of grass thieves running around Baotou, almost all of them were looking forward to coming, which suddenly made Zhao Ziri break out in a large cold sweat on his back.
。。。。。。
Guishan County, the city of Xunzhou (now northeast of Huiyang, Guangdong), is faintly filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
On the outside of the north gate of the city wall, Zhu Cun, the general of the right wing of the Fourth Army from Changle County, was also faintly looking forward to something between the short walks and walks.
It wasn't until the twilight that several horses galloped and fell off the horse in front of him, and each batch of Zhu Cun's face relaxed, and said tightly to the people who dismounted.
"I'm finally here when you guys come."
"How many people are there this time? You don't have to have too many numbers, but you have to be a good hand. ”
"I'll make it easy for people to echo and make it easier."
"The benefits and friendship given by the monk, I still remember it."
"The previous order of trading has not been completed, and this time I have given me such a large amount of goods."
"If I don't deal with the help, I'm not a human being."
"Besides, I've never liked them like that."
"Don't worry, Lao Tzu is the one who guards Shaoguan Town,"
"Even if there is some implication and suspicion afterwards, the hand of this generation will not be able to stretch out for so long."
"But the monk has to give me Shangguan a good deal and dredge it up."
