Chapter 109: Ambush

Following Matsushita around the mountain road, Yu Qiuping couldn't help but ask curiously, "Matsushita-sama, what are we going to do here?" Do you really want to fight Dazhai? ”

"Don't fight." Panasonic shook his head lightly, "There must be a lot of people left in the village." ”

"So what are we going to do here?" Kenmasa Asai asked.

"Ambush." Matsushita whispered lightly, "When they go to the crops and find them empty, they will definitely feel that they have been tricked, and our non-existent army is besieging his stronghold." He would hurry back after leaving someone to defend him," Matsushita continued to explain lightly, "but when you get to the stronghold, you will find that there is still nothing." At this time, he will definitely feel that he has been tricked, and we are not actually ready to hit him at all, so we will let our guard down. ”

"I've walked through the mountain and know the way. We lay in ambush on their way up the mountain, and when they were exhausted and let their guard down after a long day's travel, we could just kill and capture their leader. Matsushita said lightly.

"So you just lit two piles of wolf smoke and made all their cottage people suspicious! Running around for half a day! "Yu Qiuping is really happy with this young man now. Originally, I heard him say at noon that he could destroy the cottage with just a few people, and I thought it was unbelievable. Now I'm really convinced.

"He's too underestimated, so he's sure to be hit." Matsushita whispered lightly, "He seems to have been living a life where others flatter him, so he has nothing to look at." When he has a few hundred men at his disposal, he will despise the strength of a dozen of us, and go in vain to find the army that does not exist. ”

"His seemingly stupid mistake was actually doomed." Matsushita shook his head lightly, "Let's go, hurry up, we'll be too late when they come back." ”

Before the words fell, at the corner of the forest path, he suddenly met more than a dozen people with their families in tow. The people on both sides were stunned, and the people on that side were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

"Stop them, don't let them go!" Amano Jingde, who had been silent, suddenly said sharply. Amano Keitoku and Sanada Masayuki took the lead in snatching out, and several other people also reacted, and the people who dragged their families couldn't run fast, and they were all arrested soon.

"Heroes spare their lives! What a man spares his life! Villains, this is going back to the cottage with you! An uncle at the head kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic, "The little people don't dare to run away anymore!" Don't dare to run away anymore! It was your Rokuro leader who persuaded us to run away and let us go! Don't do villain's business! The villain doesn't dare to run even if he dares a hundred times! ”

"You areβ€”" Yu Qiuping put the knife back into its scabbard and asked, "The people who were robbed to the mountains by the bandits?" ”

More than a dozen people thought that the person in front of them was the pursuer of the bandits, but when they heard the tone, they didn't seem to want to, and nodded: "Exactly!" We were dragged up the mountain a few months ago, and this time when we saw that the bandits were gone, the leader of Rokuro saw that we were pitiful and let us go! ”

"Don't worry, we're not bandits." Kenmasa Asai smiled, "We're here to fight the bandits, so let's go." ”

"You can't let them go." Tianno Jingde said sharply, "This mountain is a place for bandits, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no other strongholds or people patrolling. In case they are caught by the bandits, confess our whereabouts! We will die without a place to bury! ”

"How so?" Yu Qiuping was puzzled, "We are here to fight the bandits, they were caught by the bandits, how could they betray us?" ”

The people around hurriedly nodded and said something like "Great Kindness and Great Virtue Don't Dare to Forget".

"Didn't you hear me clearly, sir?" Tianye Jingde still said sharply, "In order to get rid of their crimes, these Diao people betrayed the leader of Rokuro, who was probably kind enough to let them go, without saying a word, hoping that the bandits would be angry with that leader and let them go." Tianye Jingde frowned, and looked at the dozen or so people vigilantly with a knife, "If they are caught by the bandits, they will definitely confess our existence and whereabouts, and say that we will kill the guards and let them go to get away with it." Amano Keedoku looked at Yu Qiuping, "Isn't it?" ”

Yu Qiuping swallowed his saliva, and I have to say that what Tianye Jingde said is very reasonable. People who have lived under this extreme fear for some time seem to develop a mental illness called "Stockholm syndrome" that instinctively provides information and help to the abuser. If these people are caught by the bandits again, they may be sold in the blink of an eye.

"Then tie them all down the path, and don't let them tell us until we ambush them." Matsushita stared lightly into Amano's disgruntled eyes, who glared at the boy unceremoniously, and the two were at a stalemate for a while.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a commotion at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh no, they probably came back." Yu Qiuping whispered, "Let's hurry up!" He pointed to Keitoku Amano, Masayuki Sanada, and the three guards who were careless from Panasonic who happened to be close to the side of a path, "You guys take them to the corner and tie them up, there is a rope in the Kibei bag!" Shut your mouth again! ”

"If it's too late to do so, then go up the hill and look for us next to the pavilion. My guards will lead the way. After Matsushita gave the order lightly, he immediately went to the ambush site from the mainland with Yuqiu and others. Amano Jingde and the others viciously pressed those people and threatened them not to speak.

Yu Qiuping and others walked up the mountain road briskly under the leadership of Panasonic, and they could already see the bandits' Dazhai in the distance. Panasonic chose a narrow place with rocks on both sides, blocking the width of the already small mountain road by nearly half the width. Yu Qiuping and the others scattered and hid in the dense bushes and woods on both sides.

"That bandit leader is a very face-saving man, and he is paralyzed by underestimating the enemy," Matsushita analyzed in a low voice, "as long as the situation allows, it will definitely be at the front of the line." ”

"When the time comes, when he passes these two piles of rocks, we will rush out and take him hostage." Matsushita pointed to the mountain road lightly, "Block the people behind him behind the rocks, and then you can rely on him to hold everyone hostage." ”

"Seconds." Maeda Toshiya couldn't help but admire, "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" This kid can! It's no worse than my little brother! ”

"What, I'm far worse than others. This guy is estimated to be more powerful than Chang Xing. Yu Qiuping exclaimed.

"The order of when to do it, and the command behind, please leave it to Lord Yuqiu." Panasonic looked at Yu Qiuping lightly, "I have never been on the battlefield in Xia, and the things of the battle array are not as familiar as Lord Yuqiu." ”

"Okay." Yu Qiuping agreed, "Then I want to have a code." ”

After a while, the noise on the mountain road was getting closer. And Sanada Masayuki and Matsushita's three men also rushed back from the trail.

"Where's Jingde?" Yu Qiuping asked Sanada Masayuki.

"Amano-sama said to check the rope and the cloth of Saizui, a little later." Sanada Masayuki replied with a natural expression.

After a while, the footsteps of the bandits were clearly audible, and the bandits seemed to have walked to the place where they had just met the people. And Amano Keide also hurried back.

"Good work." Yu Qiuping said, but his nose seemed to smell a strange smell, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Everyone was in ambush, just waiting for Deshan Meixiu to take the bait.

A moment later, I saw a team of nearly two hundred bandits, appearing from the bend of the mountain road not far away. Because the mountain road is not wide, only four or five people can walk side by side, and the team dragged nearly 100 meters. From afar, I heard Deshan Meixiu shouting in a loud voice: "Damn! These bitches raised it! Dare to play uncle! Watch me catch them every day without killing them! ”

"Kill them!" "Cut them alive!" "Drink with your heart and liver!" Although the minions shouted excitedly, they were so tired that they couldn't lift their legs after running for an afternoon, and the line was getting longer and longer.

"Tomorrow, I'll go with my uncle and tear down that store!" Tokuyama didn't notice that he had already entered an ambush circleβ€”he certainly wouldn't have imagined that the bluffers would actually go and return to ambush him in his mountains. He smiled, and walked past two piles of rocks as he spoke, "Get that little girl back, have a good time..."

Before the words fell, I heard a shout from the woods beside meβ€”

"Caesar is coming! Do it! Do it! Yu Qiuping shouted excitedly. He finally finished the character play game of the assassination of Caesar. Fourteen people on either side heard the shouts and jumped out of the bushes with their knives drawn. The five minions who followed him were killed by surprise. Norihide Tokuyama's Notai knife was also picked up by Kenmasa Asai, and Toshiya Maeda smashed the back of the knife into his knee. I only heard a crisp loud bang, and I saw that my knees were useless. Tokuyama Norihide wailed in pain and fell to his knees, immediately caught in the neck by three knives and unable to move. The rest of the people, led by Honda Nabenosuke, stood between the two piles of rubble and firmly grasped the gap.

This cascade of changes takes place in just a few breaths. Except for the five minions who were hacked to death, the rest of the minions all had an expression of disbelief and did not react, looking at Yu Qiuping and others blankly.

"Who dares to move!" Yu Qiuping pointed a knife at Tokuyama Norixiu, who was kneeling on the ground with resentment and horror on his face, and shouted, "Your leader will die!" ”

Yu Qiuping shouted loudly, as if he had woken up the thieves from surprise. The bandits, who had been motionless just now, instantly became a mess.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"I'm Cao." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "Am I so deterrent!" It's so shameless. ”

This remark caused laughter from several people behind him, and the atmosphere of life and death struggle for a while became relaxed.

After a moment of confusion, the bandits immediately understood the situation in front of them - the dozen or so people had taken their boss hostage. A few people who tried to rush up to recapture the boss could only go up one by one because of the narrow terrain, and they were killed in three moves and two moves. The people in the back immediately didn't dare to move.

"Throw all the weapons away! Surrender! Yu Qiuping shouted again, "Throw away any bamboo guns and knives in your hands!" Yu Qiuping said while making a gesture to cut Deshan Zexiu, "Otherwise, just wait to collect the body of your boss!" Don't worry, as long as you surrender, I won't embarrass you! ”

"I'm Yu Qiuping, do what I say!"

I have to say that the feelings of these bandits and their boss are still good, and under the threat of Yuqiu and others, they honestly threw their weapons to the ground. According to Yu Qiuping's request to raise his hands in a gesture of surrender, one by one walked through the gap and returned to the cottage. Yu Qiuping and others escorted Deshan Zexiu, who couldn't even walk, - the latter can now honestly repent and beg for mercy, which is completely different from the aggressive thief in the morning, with a slanderous villain's face, which makes Yu Qiuping very uncomfortable.

And what made Yu Qiuping sigh even more was the resourcefulness of the young man called Matsushita, who was chaotic - he really relied on a dozen people to eradicate this big thief who had been a disaster for many years in half a day.

Under the persecution of Yuqiu and others, these bandits who had no weapons and could not resist had to burn down the cottage, and in front of Yuqiu and others, they swore to the Buddha that they would never be bandits again, and would not go to the trouble of that family.

Although in the eyes of atheistic modern people like Yu Qiuping, making a poisonous oath is nothing at all. But in ancient times, when superstition was extremely superstitious, the gods and Buddhas had a high status in the hearts of everyone - even these bandits were afraid of being disgusted by the Buddha. Therefore, the binding force of this poisonous oath is still good. It is estimated that only new humans like Oda Nobunaga will completely disdain the gods and Buddhas.

After everything was done, Yu Qiuping let all the thieves go. This was a surprise to everyone and the bandits, and Yu Qiuping's explanation was that he had always done what he said - which of course had the strong support of Kenmasa Asai and Matsushita Kamisa.

After that, they collected the weapons thrown by the bandits. If you have a bamboo gun or something, you will cut off the tip of the gun and confiscate it, and the knife or something will naturally be taken away directly. This completely cut off the opportunity for these bandits to do evil again. As for how to explain his nephew's matter to the lord of Tokuyama Norihide, Matsushita said lightly that he would let the people of the clan deal with it, and by the way, he would also pick up the family.

When they were ready to stop and were about to leave, Sena Shijun, who had rushed to hear the news, had already rushed to the mountain with more than 20 people from the caravan, and happened to meet Yu Qiuping and them, who were packing up their weapons.
