Chapter 252: Offering Thieves 3

"This thief is so fierce that he almost slashed me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

There were more than a dozen people around Wu Seng, three of them wearing gray felt cotton armor and black cloaks, two men and one woman, but Pei Pochuan, Ling Zhanyun, and Li Ruwan were three people.

The rest are Li Ruwan's original Huojiazhai people, and some people went out with them this time, but they were still dressed in red tasseled felt hats and coarse cloth arrow clothes. It's just that some people's weapons have changed, such as those who like to use heavy troops, they choose sticks from their arsenals.

Seeing that the thief was tied up, Ma Hu, who was knocked into the air and was almost stabbed, had palpitations, and said to Li Ruwan: "Thanks to Master Li, he saved my life." ”

The rest of them also said: "Yes, thanks to Li Ye, more than a dozen of us were able to eliminate seven thieves without casualties, and we also arrested one." ”

"Sure enough, I saw the world, this thief is different from the horse thief in the ravine, too fierce."

"It's exciting, I feel my blood boiling."

The people of Huojiazhai were flattering, looking at them, Pei Pochuan was expressionless, and Ling Zhanyun looked like a smile.

Li Ruwan waved her hand: "The credit of the master is there, but the credit of Captain Pei and Captain Ling is also very great, this point still has to be made clear." ”

She said: "Okay, pack up and leave, there are more and more thieves and horses in Lingbi County, don't be met by them." ”

Soon everyone cleaned up, and the scattered thieves' bows and arrows were put away, especially the eight war horses they were riding, Li Ruwan turned over and found that there was a lot of gold and silver in the horse jacket.

The people in Huojiazhai are all eyes shining, and sure enough, what Li Ye said is true that there are many sentinels. On average, each thief sentry has fifty taels of silver, and eight people are four hundred taels, and a dozen or so people on their side can divide it casually.

Sure enough, Li Ye didn't deceive people, and the brothers had a good day.

There was a rule in the camp that the pawns plundered the gold and silver, and they were not allowed to hide it privately, such as hiding three taels of silver, that is, killing them, for fear of gold and silver and escaping.

But this regulation actually began in the second half of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, after Zhang Xianzhong Ke Lu'an Prefecture, the establishment of the "Mandate of Heaven" regime, and the formal establishment of the four major battalions of the old battalion, the front battalion, the middle battalion, and the rear battalion.

Now the battalion is still very chaotic, and many small soldiers have money, and they sneak away.

Even the horsemen ran away with money.

"Let's go, meet Sanniang and them."

After packing up, the captive sentry was tied to the horses, and everyone quickly left the house, turned a few streets and alleys, and came to an abandoned house, where they found the horses that each person had hidden, and there were three people guarding here.

The hooves of the horses were covered with cloth, and the mouths of the horses were chewed, and there was no sound.

Soon everyone rode on the horse, quietly went to the north of the city, there is Phoenix Mountain in the northwest of Lingbi County, there is Longche Mountain not far from the north, there are Liuqing, Tanxi, Bailian and other lakes at the foot of the mountain, everyone came out of Bimen in the north, and soon arrived at Longche Mountain.

There are also a dozen knights lurking in the woods here.

The first person was covered with a black cloak, heroic posture, the devil's figure was concave and convex, she looked intently at the bottom of the mountain, pressed the heavy sword, it was Qian Sanniang.

On the evening of the first day of the new year, Qian Sanniang and others returned from the sentry, and rested for a day on the second day, at this time, they were shocked to hear that the thieves had invaded Hongxian County, and they would attack Suining at any time, so on the third day of the first month, Qian Sanniang and others were ordered to sentry and cross the Yellow River, and on the fourth day of the first month, they went deeper into the territory of Lingbi County.

But they heard that there were thieves everywhere in Hongxian County, and the special horse team sentry rode out, so they took a detour to the flanks and secretly spied on the movements of Hongxian County from the side of Lingbi County.

They hid on Longche Mountain, condescendingly, looking at the four fields, and they were seen by them when the eight horsemen of Wu Whistle entered the county seat.

So Qian Sanniang decided to catch a live mouth, Li Ruwan and others volunteered, so they eliminated these horses and caught a live mouth.

Seeing Li Ruwan and the others returning victoriously, Qian Sanniang was very happy and said, "Sister Ruwan, Captain Pei and Captain Ling have worked hard, and you will share the seized silver." ”

There was a lot of brilliance in her eyes, but it was the return of the sentinel detective, and when she learned the news of the nest of the thieves in Qingshan, she gathered Liu Qilang and others on the way back, Yang Xianggong was very happy and praised her greatly.

Qian Sanniang felt that the whole world was warm, the sky was incomparably bright, and all the way south, she was full of energy and spirit.

Everyone looks at Longche Mountain, the surrounding is plain, slightly low hills and hills, the ruins of the county seat are in the south, there is the Bianhe River in the south, and there is the Tong River in the northeast. About fifteen miles away from the east of the city, there is the tomb of Yu Ji at the junction with Hongxian.

At this time, in the east and north of the field, puffs of smoke and dust were seen from time to time, as if a team of thieves and horses were running by, and the terrible howling sound was heard from time to time.

This is also the reason why Li Ruwan and others did not dare to use firearms in the county, and there were more and more thieves in Lingbi County, and they were afraid that the sound of guns would spread and attract a large number of enemies.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions were frozen, and it seemed that in the east near the Bianhe River, thick smoke was billowing over a small village, and a faint cry came.

Then about ten thieves rushed out, galloping in front of them with swords and spears, and hundreds of villagers, old and young, stumbled and followed.

Then the villagers on the left and right, there are ten horsemen with knives and spears to urge the superintendent, and finally ten fine horsemen are delayed, every villager runs slowly, they kill them with knives and spears, and the villagers cry, but they all run with the thieves, and everyone does not dare to slack off.

Everyone on the mountain hated it, and Qian Sanniang also stared at it, when she was in the martial arts hall, she had heard Yang Xianggong talk about the fighting methods of various thieves.

For example, the thief governs the army: "Every time you set up camp, you will send horses, and you will be a detective from all directions." One mile and one dial, until 200 miles away, there is a police to know. ”

Their method of driving away the plundering is also to use the elite ten people to go forward, so that the plundered people accompany them, and then use ten warriors to postpone the back, and re-order the cavalry to divide the ten or so people, and urge the superintendent, the former has passed, and then or not continued, that is, they will be killed, and the people are afraid to hurry.

Drove to the near city and entered the old camp, although there were thousands of people, but there were only thirty horsemen.

Seeing the thieves attacking the village, it was obvious that the war in Hongxian County was tight, so that the villagers were divided and plundered to charge the army to attack the city.

Qian Sanniang thought about it, when she led the army out of the outpost, in fact, Yang Xianggong and the others were also crossing the Yellow River, planning to set up a defense line in Guanshanji.

However, Suining County is building a city and building roads, and it is inconvenient to fight according to the city, so it is ready to fight with Liukou in the area of Longtou Mountain.

Xian thief and others are now attacking Hongxian, but they don't know if they will go north to attack Suining, although they have caught a live mouth, they still have to find out more news.

Qian Sanniang said: "Leave one person to guard this live mouth, and the rest will go out with me to fight, defeat the thirty horsemen, and catch a few more live mouths." ”

"Fight quickly, with rockets, riding guns, and handguns!"

……

A neighing of war horses, several horses rushed up Longtou Mountain, here is only twenty-five miles away from Suining County, not far from the mountain is the official road, Suining County to Lingbi County's official road.

Generally, take the official road, that is, from Hongxian County to Suining, you also have to take Da Li Ji, and then pass through the official road under Longtou Mountain.

However, if you go straight up, there is a small road from Hongxian to Guanshanji, which passes through the east of Guanshanjizhai, and finally joins with Guandao at the foot of Longtou Mountain.

It's just that in this era, the official roads are not easy to walk, let alone the country roads, except for people and horses, many baggage vehicles are not easy to pass.

Two miles southeast of Longtou Mountain is Guanshan, Guanshan is gathered in the southeast of the mountain, and then there are small lakes and mountains not far from the east of Longtou Mountain, in fact, they are all small mountain bags.

Longtou Mountain is considered high in this area, but the altitude is only 55 meters, if it is placed in the south of the Yangtze River, this mountain can only be called a hill.

Longtou Mountain is long from east to west, there is a red clay mound on the top, there are stone drum temples, Qingyun Temple, there are dragon heads set in the northwest, at this time several horses rush up, all felt hats and red cloaks, vigorous and vigorous, sharp eyes, the first person, the eyes are as sharp as eagles.

They rode their horses up the hillside, the terrain on this side, the east side, the northeast side was very gentle, at this time, I don't know how, this side of the hillside was bare, not to mention the trees, not even a single weed, looking at the grass ash traces on the slope, it seems that it was set on fire not long ago.

The knights had seen the southwest side of Longtou Mountain, where the river called the White Horse River flowed, so that the bottom of the mountain was full of lakes and ponds, mud swamps, and it was not easy to pass from there.

Then there is a big village under the northwest of the mountain, the slope of the back is as steep as a cliff, the north of the village, the west side, is full of muddy ponds again, only the east side is dry and has a road, but the outside of the whole village, digging potholes, only a winding small dirt road is left.

It is also a strong and powerful village, just like the big village against the mountain not far from the southeast.

After a few horses came running, they walked around this side and ascended from the east side, intending to take a better look.

They ran up the hillside, the mountain was not high, and it seemed that from the official road to the top of the mountain, it was actually only a little more than a hundred steps.

And then what did the riders find?

It is inconspicuous from a distance, but when you look closely, you can see that about twenty steps from the top of the mountain, a long winding earthen wall has been built on this slope, which extends from the east to the northeast and northwest of the mountain.

The earthen wall was very thick, about one and a half people high, and it seemed that one end of the wall was about to reach the wall of the stockade, and the other end was over the lake and pond in the southwest, until no one could climb the hill there.

The first sentry also thought that someone was going to build a village here, so he set up an earthen wall, although this wall was too low.

To build a walled wall, how high does it have to be a zhang, so short, what can it be used for?

And what makes people laugh dumbly is that the wall is not yet connected, slowly bending inward, and there is a big gap in the east, north, and south, and at least ten people can stand side by side according to one person's step.

The wall is built like this, and it doesn't die fast enough, do you want to lure the wolf into the house?

In addition to this ridiculous and generous act, the horsemen found that there was something strange about this wall, and there were holes spread on it, and they didn't know whether to use it to shoot guns or to release arrows.

If you look at it again, there are still holes under these holes, but only in the position where people are squatting.

There are still big holes in some places, and I don't know what to put them.

Then there are two trenches in front of this wall, and the one under the wall, "V" shaped, forms a large slope with the wall, not to mention, it is difficult to climb out if you fall into it.

In particular, the inside is full of spikes, which makes people feel very vicious.

Then, five paces away, there was another trench, the same structure, with sharp wooden thorns underneath that was terrifying to look at.

However, the first sentry still shook his head, there were these three big gaps, and the wall and trench were also dug in vain.

He looked at the top of the hill, where there was a temple, quite dilapidated, and at this time it was also silent, apparently uninhabited.

I don't know why the people who built the wall at the beginning inexplicably built the wall and dug trenches, and now they give up inexplicably.

Let's go and see, look around, with the official road to the north, more than 20 miles later is Suining County, I don't know if you can see it.

And when the crowd rode to the foot of this dragon head mountain, there were a group of spies pretending to be monks, tourists, merchants, and hungry people accompanying them, and they continued to walk on the official road and went to Suining County, hoping to respond in time and accept the citizens to open the door and dedicate the city.

They were all walking, and they didn't know where they were going.
