Chapter 16: The Great War against Xu Chuyi
Two months later, the training of the Tiger Army has achieved some success, but it is still far from the real elite! Without a few trials of blood and fire, this new team will never grow into a powerhouse.
Whether it's the bandits who live in Mangjie Mountain, or the small yellow scarves that move around them, they are all regarded as free sparring partners by me!
There are 4 bandits in Mangjie Mountain, the Black Tiger Village at the foot of the southwest mountain is now my base camp, and there are 3 places, one is the Black Wind Village, the other is the Centipede Village, and then the Wild Wolf Village.
Traveling northwest for more than 40 miles along the Black Tiger Village, there is a skyscraper ridge, which is composed of twin peaks, majestic momentum, straight into the sky; Between two towering and dangerous peaks, a sky bridge was born, miraculously connecting the two peaks into a whole, and the magic of nature is beyond the reach of man! In the gap between the two peaks, there is a passage less than 4 meters wide and less than 40 meters long, and at the end of the passage, there is a wide valley, and the Black Wind Village is built in the valley.
The mountains around the valley are steep and dangerous, and it is difficult for birds to cross! As long as this narrow passage is held, it will be difficult for even thousands of troops to penetrate.
In the past, officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed several times, but they all returned with a feather!
The stockade is not large, and the minions add up to less than 600. But when it comes to the boldness of the village owner, people have to be afraid of three points. This person is a ruthless character; Every time he plundered, he did not leave a living mouth, so he became notorious on the road.
At midnight, the fourth watch, the moon is dark and the wind is high, tonight is destined to be a good day to kill people and plunder goods!
At the foot of the Sky Ridge, I was dressed in black, and more than 100 members of the special brigade followed me silently. I took out the "clairvoyance", an infrared telescope with night vision that I brought with me from the 21st century, and looked up at the steep cliff in front of me, and found a huge rock about 30 meters above the ground, which could provide a temporary rest for dozens of people if I could think of a way to go up. Climbing such a steep cliff, ordinary people, even if they are incarnated as monkeys, have to look at the cliff and sigh! But as a veteran rock climber from the 21st century, I also have a set of professional climbing tools, and this dangerous sneak attack method comes in handy for me.
I hung the clairvoyant around my neck, checked the connection between the buckle at the end of the claw and the wire rope, and shook the claw in one circle, two times, three times, I released the wire rope, and the claw was like an arrow off the string, sneering and rubbing the air, and then there was a slight crisp sound of "click", and the tip of the claw was firmly embedded in the protruding boulder! I put on my handguards, grabbed the wire rope, and kicked the mountain wall with ape-like agility, and my body quickly disappeared into the night.
……
At the pass of the Black Wind Village, there was a slight chill in the air. The little minion Wan Xiaosan tightened the tattered linen clothes on his body, let out a breath of cold air, and whispered to a few companions beside him: "Xiao Er Mazi is really not a fucking thing, he went into the house to sleep by himself, but he couldn't see Lao Tzu taking a nap here!" ”
Li Da, who was beside him, cautiously looked at the small wooden house, and whispered: "Little San, don't talk nonsense, in case it reaches the ears of Mazi, it will be nice for you kid!" ”
Li Da and Wan Xiaosan are from the same village, and the two are naturally close.
Suddenly, with a slight muffled sound, Wan Xiaosan's face felt warm, like raindrops, but sticky? He habitually sticks out the tip of his tongue to lick it, and the taste is a little salty...
Looking back, a zhang away, a javelin passed through the brain and hung his companion Wu Lao Sisheng on the wall, and the blood flowers were still sprayed in the air!
Xiao San was just about to scream, but a big hand behind his back suddenly covered his mouth and nose, making it difficult for him to breathe and unable to make a sound.
When he was about to suffocate, he suddenly felt a cold neck, and a sharp blade instantly cut his throat and major arteries...
The thieves guarding the door, including the wooden house resting shifts, were only more than ten people, and the soldiers of the special brigade took advantage of the darkness to touch the past, and three or five people circled a target, throwing javelins and halberds; Or roll over, wipe your neck and bleed, and quickly bring down these sentry posts.
Cao Xing and Cheng Lian, who were lurking on both sides, saw that they had succeeded in seizing the door, and led the first and second battalions to rush into the cottage, using the platoon as a unit to pull a net to eliminate the bandits.
The cottage suddenly turned into a pot of porridge, like boiling oil dripping into cold water! The cries, cries for help, scolding, the cracking of the blade cutting into the flesh and bones, tore the veil of midnight warmth!
On a high ground in the stockade, I stared at the killing below with a knife, staring at an inconspicuous small lens in this troubled world through the firelight, and the blood that was boiling and surging just now slowly cooled down! In history, it is ten times more ferocious than this, and the killing of a hundred times will continue for hundreds of years, if it were not for the martial mourning king Ran Min to lead the Han people in the north to fight back, our Han nation may have been wiped out in the long river of history! Thinking of the rolling wheel of history, her cruelty, her ferocity, I can't help but feel numb. I don't have the courage of Don Quixote to swing a sword to change the direction of the wheels of history.
Is it evasion? Is it to be at peace with what happens? Or a moth to a fire ...
The siege continues, and most of the bandits wake up in their dreams, how dare they resist? Most of them knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. There were also bandits who fought back desperately and were immediately surrounded and killed.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of a large house in the stockade, headed by a burly man, with a scar crawling like a centipede all over his face, and under the reflection of the firelight, this person was like a demon crawling out of hell! He carried a mace in his hand and smashed several people in a row, fighting his way out of the encirclement.
Seeing this, Cao Xuan shouted: "Send out two platoons to kill this gang of thieves!" ”
The soldiers of the two platoons formed a mandarin duck formation to outflank the past, and soon, the enemy was wrapped in the formation. The mountain bandits have never seen this kind of tacit military formation, and more than a dozen people will be killed in a while. The remaining three were very brave, and they were about to break out of the encirclement. A sword and shield hand met him, and the round shield protected his upper body, swinging his knife at the leader Scarface. Ignoring the fatal blow, the scar-faced man raised his mace, jumped to his feet, and slammed the round shield. With a cry of pain, the sword and shield hand flew out upside down.
The two pikemen next to him filled the gap, and the two spears swished; The bandit picked up the stick, knocked the spear away, and flirted with the mace, and the brains of the two spurted out on the spot.
Dian Wei was killing vigorously, and when he saw the fierceness of the thief, he jumped over and shouted: "The thief is looking for death!" He rounded the double halberd, and slashed at the scar-faced man.
"Boom" The scar-faced man leaned back, fell straight to the ground, his two bulging eyes widened, stared at Dian Wei in a daze, and rushed back to his hometown as if he was convulsive. Dian Wei wondered in his heart, "You are a coward, you were scared to death like this?" Lao Tzu's iron halberd hasn't touched you yet...... Dare to stare at me again, I won't smash you to the ground! ”
Up close, this guy wasn't scared to death. It turned out that before the bull's eye could close his eyes, a sharp arrow pierced his face door like lightning, destroying the nerves connected to his brain and eyes, killing him instantly!
What a domineering arrow! Looking back, Cao Xing was holding a big bow, and he could still see that the bowstring was still buzzing!
Although the coordination was not perfect, the battle was quickly over.
The captive's arms were tied with rope and then joined together, and they were pulled over one by one. After counting the results of the battle, more than 500 people were captured and more than 60 were killed on the spot. The big man who was shot by Cao Xing was the notorious village owner Niu Daring. The LTTE itself suffered only 5 casualties and more than 10 wounded.
The first time I cracked down on bandits, I got this report card, and I couldn't stop laughing.
The next siege of the centipede village and the wolf village was carried out during the day, and the attack on the top of Mount Tai quickly broke the fighting spirit of the bandits guarding the village, and after killing the leader of the cottage and several leaders of great public anger, more than 1,600 elites were collected, and the harvest of food and property was also quite abundant.
Three or four days later, one afternoon, I ambushed the logistics supply team of a Yellow Turban thief. There were more than 2,000 yellow turban thieves accompanying the convoy, and I rushed to kill these thieves and fled in all directions. The commander of the Yellow Turban Thieves must not have looked at the Yellow Calendar when he went out today, and was just about to run away, but I caught up, cut his horse's neck with a knife, and fell to the ground, honoring to be my prisoner. Asked his name, I couldn't help laughing, this person's name is Pei Yuanshao, and he can be regarded as a hometown acquaintance! Legend has it that in the future, he went to rob Zhao Yun's white horse, but lost his life, and in the history of the Three Kingdoms, where there are many heroes, he is a dragon character who left his name.
Since he was a "historical celebrity", I spared his life and asked him to take hundreds of prisoners as the vanguard, drive the grain cart, and send it back to the base camp with more than 20 ploughing oxen first, and the sergeants of the two platoons supervised it later.
I led most of the troops to conduct formation drills on the march, racing against time in order for the sons and daughters to grow up quickly.
Less than two hours later, a personal guard came to report: "Regiment commander, the forward has been robbed." The cattle and grain carts were robbed, and the leader Pei was also injured by the thieves. ”
I was furious when I heard this, which stupid thief who doesn't have long eyes would dare to offend our army?! He immediately ordered the brigade to speed up and rush to the scene of the incident.
This is a fortress-like manor, built against the river, on the plain within a radius of 100 miles, it stands proudly, tirelessly, silently guarding!
The manor is not large, covering an area of 100 acres. The manor is firmly protected by a thick wall, which is four or five meters high, and has a female wall and battlements on it.
On the fence, bluestone slabs are paved with bluestone slabs, which can accommodate 3 people walking side by side.
In the middle of the south wall of the fortress, a tower of seven or eight meters high stands tall, made of granite throughout, solid and majestic. Under the tower, a deep arched doorway was opened, and an elm gate wrapped in iron sheet was inlaid into the hole, which looked indestructible!
Under the eaves of the tower, there is a vermilion wooden plaque hanging, on which the dragon and the phoenix dance are written with three big characters: "Xujiabao".
The long and loud horn sound of the horn from far to near, the Tiger Army is arranged into 3 phalanxes, slowly moving forward in the shape of a zigzag, advancing layer by layer, swords, shields and spears are like walls and forests, more than 1,000 spear tips pierce the sky, and the bleak heaven and earth are stirring with bursts of killing machines! Xujiabao is close at hand!
There were cries of terror from the manor opposite, and the warning sounds of various metal vessels striking......
Crunchy! After a dull tooth-souring sound, the fortress opened its thick gates. A giant man led hundreds of strong Zhuang Ding to rush out and stopped 300 meters away from our army.
I led the horse to the front of the formation, Cao Xing on the left, Dian Wei on the right, followed closely.
The giant man in the opposite array strode towards me with a big sword on his shoulder. Although there is only one person and one knife, there is a chilling momentum!
As we got closer, the ground began to hear the sound of dull footsteps, like a hammer beating a drum.
Cao Xing's face changed greatly, and he held the bow with his right hand.
Dian Wei looked at me, and the battle intent in his eyes was like a scorching flame burning!
This person's momentum is so powerful!
The giant man stopped more than 10 meters away from us. He looks extremely fierce, his face is covered by beards, and under his thick eyebrows is a pair of round eyes, full of beast-like light, as if he will choose someone to devour at any time! This person is extremely tall, at least more than 1.9 meters, he has a strong physique like a hill, and he only wears a thin linen shirt in the warm and cold spring day, and the bulging muscles make the originally loose top look so tight!
Looking at this giant man, I was overjoyed to see Hunting, and my eyes were directly filtered by Dian Wei's invitation to fight.
"Why did this strong man rob our army's property in broad daylight? Don't be afraid of the army crushing you to powder! I smiled and asked the giant man.
"Whew! You thieves, everyone will be punished! The big man scolded, "Among the looted goods you collected, those ploughing cattle robbed my farm, why can't I rob you!" ”
When I heard about it, I couldn't help but wonder. just robbed the yellow turban thieves, and immediately carried the black pot for them, the retribution came really fast, and the debt collectors were forced to come to the door!
I was noncommittal about the big man's fierce reaction, but I lightly lifted the reins of the horse, looked around the big man, and when I saw the ring-headed big knife, my mind was in a hurry, and I thought of a brilliant idea.
I walked around the giant man, my eyes rolling around the bones, and I couldn't stop looking at the big man. The man was furious by my eyes, and he hurriedly frightened him: "That man, if you want to fight, you will fight, and then you will walk around me blindly, and I will pick out your eyeballs!" ”
I laughed, and said to the big man in the tone that Grandma Wolf seduced Little Red Riding Old: "I think you are also a man, do you dare to make a bet with me?" ”
The tower-like man suspected me of playing tricks and didn't respond directly, but he was worried that others would laugh at him for being cowardly and not a good man, so he asked me, "What bet?" Tell me about it. ”
Before I could say anything, a wicked smile bloomed on my face first, I was full of compliments, opened my eyes and said nonsense: "I heard that you bravely decided Yuzhou, and there is no opponent so far?" Is there such a thing?! ”
Even though there was no such rumor at all, the man was still happy to hear my foolishness, and his dark face glowed red, and his eyes looked at me much kinder.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Although the man said "don't dare", but his demeanor was not a little modest, maybe he took it for granted that he was "invincible all over Yuzhou", it should be like this, and who in the state could do it himself!
I laughed secretly: "I'll hold you to the sky first, and then I'll set you up, I'm not afraid that you won't be tricked." ”
"Even if you are a warrior, dare to fight me?" My face changed suddenly, from sunny to cloudy, and I turned my face faster than I could turn a book. Before he could reply, he shouted loudly: "If you win against me, I will immediately leave with my command, and your property will be yours; If I prevail against you, you will worship me as your lord. Do you dare to fight?
