Chapter 26: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
It took Liuluyan's men half a day, copying the trail and marching rapidly, and finally arrived near the mountain pass before dark, this mountain pass is not large, about ten meters wide, and the length of the official road in the valley is more than a mile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the mountains on both sides are more precipitous, all of which are cliffs of more than 30 meters. The top of the cliff is densely vegetated, making it ideal for hiding and raiding.
Liulu looked at the terrain with satisfaction, pointed to the cliffs on both sides and said to the king of the broken village who was riding a horse on the side, "This place will be the place where you and I will start, before this, you and I were both thieves, once this deal is completed, I can rest assured that I can be a rich man for the rest of my life." ”
The king of the broken village is also a look of longing, to be honest, he fell into the grass for the coward, in fact, many things are also 'forced' helpless, if there is really such an opportunity to wash white, of course, it is not wanted, so it is more full of expectations for this single transaction. "Big six, how do you say to fight? Big brother listens to you! ”
Although he said that he was brave in battle, his strategy was not a little bit worse, and if he really let himself command, I am afraid that he would have been 'killed' long ago. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the last time to suppress the bandits, his men and horses were mixed with the 'mix' of the six road eyes, and merged into a new force, so that they escaped a way out of the momentum of the bandits, and after several rounds, they fled back to Wuguo from Annan. Under the command of Liuluyan, although he, the former big leader, has actually become a small bandit leader, Liuluyan still calls his eldest brother affectionately, which makes him very useful.
Under the description of the Six Paths, today's battle against the Bearded People will inevitably be fought beautifully, and the bandits will take advantage of the steep mountain to block the Bearded People in the valley. Although he said that his mind was full of martial arts, he couldn't help but be a little curious in the face of this situation. "I said Big Six, once this kind of road encounters an ambush, it must be a dead end, you and I know, but the thief doesn't know?" As he spoke, he pointed to the highest point, "If I want to cross this road, I will definitely send someone to climb the rock first, and observe whether there are people ambushing it at the top." I know all of this, and the thief must know better. ”
"That's right!" Liulu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Indeed, if the people want to cross the valley, they will definitely send people to climb up and inspect first, and you and I can send 'elite' soldiers to ambush them, if their people come, they will come forward to capture them, torture the contact code, and then our people will go up the mountain and send a signal for the people to walk in by themselves." ”
The King of the Broken Village was a little uneasy in his heart, but when he saw that Liuluyan was talking about the truth, he also nodded affirmatively, "Big Liu, listen to you!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, "From now on, you all have to obey the orders of the sixth master!" ”
The bandits next to them finally drove dozens of miles, and then they had a chance to rest, hulala all sat on the ground panting, and when they heard the words of the king of the broken village, they all responded weakly, and they had no momentum at all.
Liulu knew that although these bandits were the best subordinates in his group of bandits, they were far from the strength of the people and were completely useless, so they could only choose to overwhelm the people by their numbers in such a fight. From the governor's letter, he remembered that there were not only people in the convoy of the people, but also a group of archers from the martial arts. He knows that these military households are okay to fight a smooth battle, if they encounter a battle that is obviously unwinnable, they often take the lead and flee. Once his raid is launched, this group of military households will definitely be able to bring 'chaos' and 'chaos' to the command of the people, even if there are brocade guards guarding inside, brocade guards are all nothing good, their role is to 'communicate' with the official along the way, if they are allowed to fight, they may run faster than those military households.
After the ghost of the unscientific place, he learned to make trouble from the yang
Based on this idea, he arranged more than 200 archers on the top of the cliff, and once the battle began, he would let the archers shoot down in two volleys, although the rain of arrows was not very lethal, but the momentum was very terrifying, and it could definitely scare the soldiers and Jinyi guards away. As long as someone in the team starts to run away, it's not far from collapse, and that's what he intended. Since there was not enough area on both sides of the official road to hide the ambush, he specially divided the remaining 600 people into two teams and ambushed them at both ends of the valley road. As soon as the Beard Man's convoy enters the valley, he will have his men unleash arrows. Hearing the sound of the arrows, the two ambush armies will attack the valley from both ends of the valley at the same time, blocking the people inside and finally destroying them all.
"Big brother, this horse is also injured," another bandit next to him said, pointing to the horse that was still standing, the horse's right hind 'leg' was still trembling, and it turned out that the horse's buttocks were also beaten a 'hole', and blood was gushing out from time to time.
Of course, he still remembers the power of the "musket" of the people, and in the battle of Glorious Ridge, his thousands of people besieged dozens of soldiers, but they were all blocked and could not be defeated. At present, such a narrow valley can also form that kind of situation, and now there are no more than 900 soldiers at hand, and he actually has no idea whether he can rush forward or not.
However, the Six Paths also made other arrangements, after the battle began, they would use a canister of fire oil to fill it with fierce fire oil, ignite it, and then throw it down from the cliff, setting fire to the soldiers below, disrupting' the command of the soldiers, and breaking their will to resist. But this kind of means can't be used 'indiscriminately' unless it is absolutely necessary, and the fire is not recognized by the six relatives, as long as it is thrown down, it is not easy to extinguish it.
The small bandit leaders below received orders one after another, and went separately to prepare for battle and ambush. At the same time, Liuluyan sent two bandits on horseback to the west along the road to see where the bearded people had arrived and mastered the actions of the thieves, so that they could prepare. "Knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles." He stroked his beard and muttered to himself, but there was no one next to him to make fun of him, just lowered his head and was busy doing his own thing.
============================= divider =============================
As soon as the day was 'Meng' and 'Meng' dawn, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from the west side of the valley, and the Six Eyens and the King of the Broken Village had slept in their tents on the top of the mountain last night. The early morning 'dew' water soaked the entire tent roof, and the Liuluyan and the Broken Village King who slept in the tent were awakened by freezing twice, not to mention the bandits who were sleeping outside 'exposed'. They were shivering with cold, sneezing from time to time, and their snots hung for a long time, but fortunately it was cold last night, and there were no mosquitoes, otherwise they would have to be bitten to death.
The bandits on the top of the hill wiped their sleepy eyes one by one, and stood up one after another to look to the west, not knowing what was going on there. There were two horses running on the mountain road in the distance, but only one horse had a person on its back, and the other was empty. The rider clung to the horse's neck and did not dare to let go, while the horse behind him followed the horse in front of him and galloped wildly.
Before they got closer, several bandits stepped forward to stop the horses, and the people on the horse fell down with a pop, and several people gathered around to see that there was a 'hole' in the right 'chest' of this man, and the blood soaked through his shirt, and the horses were stained a lot. They were about to go up to check when they heard the horse behind them scream and fell to the ground sideways, which had also been hit, and although they were not dead, they were no longer able to get up, but they were rolling on the ground and neighing.
Several people helped this bandit up, this person was already as much as gold paper, and he was as angry as a gossamer, and when he saw his own people leaning over, he barely raised his breath and said, "The thief is coming, and the momentum is huge!" As soon as he finished speaking, his head tilted and died.
This group of bandits was stunned, it was still dawn, and many bandits were still sleeping, why had they already set off? A small boss who had just run over shouted, "How far is it?" How far is it going? "But the bandit had already hung up, and there was no way to respond to him.
Sun is not far away, and the ball is cold and strange
"You! You'll be riding a horse, so ride to find out how many thieves there are, and how far away! The little leader pointed at one of the bandits, but the bandit looked embarrassed, "Big brother, isn't this going to die?" ”
But this spear is now lying on the ground, and its owner is now lying on the ground with a long tongue. The shaft of the spear had been broken, and the bayonet at the head of the spear was missing. On all sides of the spear, there were scattered corpses lying on the ground, and at first glance there were more than forty of them. On the side of the road, there were more than a dozen bandits lying or sitting, in the same posture as if they were asleep, and one of the bandits stood in the distance, his feet shaking like chaff, and his hand just holding a lantern and shaking it up and down. A sleeping bandit beside him, his eyes were round, bleeding, he didn't know how long he had been dead, and if he looked closely, everyone in the bandits next to him was about the same, or they had long tongues, or their eyes were big, but they had long lost their breath.
"I'll go if I tell you to," said the bandit leader, kicking the dead man who was already lying on the ground, "this unfortunate ghost must have fallen asleep and been discovered by the man, so be careful, just go slowly." ”
"Big brother, this horse is also injured," another bandit next to him said, pointing to the horse that was still standing, the horse's right hind 'leg' was still shaking, and it turned out that the horse's buttocks were also punched a 'hole', and blood was gushing out from time to time.
"Shit, you bunch of shit." Saying that, the bandit leader no longer 'forced' his men to go down to explore the way, turned around and ran towards the mountain.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Liuluyan couldn't help but be a little frightened, the two scouts he sent could be described as the 'elite' among his bandits, and they were usually able to follow other people's caravans for days and nights without being discovered, but now one was killed, the other was missing, and the two horses were also killed and injured. Are all the 'elite' soldiers? Can you 'shoot' them before dawn?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked to the west, to the west was a plain, and only three or four miles did he begin to have a hill, and the hillock was overgrown with dense trees and weeds, and only a road that was not very wide for people and vehicles to pass. But the foliage is so dense that you can't see if anyone is passing, and if there is no one to watch, you don't know if the target is coming.
Fortunately, he had already sent someone to be in front of him, but there was no news from there yet. "Signal and see where the squires are?"
Immediately on the top of the hill, a bandit with a lantern in his hand drew circles in the air. In a short time, a light also lit up on the top of the hill in the distance, and it drew a straight line up and down in the air. "Sixth Master, you haven't come yet." Of course, the little bandit knew that this was the agreed "safe and sound" signal, and hurriedly reported to Liulu Eye.
Liuluyan's brows furrowed, now that the people on horseback are back, the other side is still safe, a little wrong, right? He walked back and forth on this flat land at the top of the mountain, then glanced at the lantern that had not moved in the distance, and said to a bandit next to him, "You call someone to go to the secret post to see what is going on, Lao Tzu feels bad, go quickly!" ”
The herald bandit hurriedly led the order and ran down the mountain, and through the gap between the branches and leaves, Liulu saw that the bandit led more than a dozen people and ran quickly towards the hill. More than a dozen bandits were panting and running, they had just gotten out of bed, their hands and feet were weak, their eyes were hazy, they were running all the way very incompetently, they were swaying all the way, and some of them even hit their heads against trees.
He couldn't help but sigh, these people are simply a rabble, too far from the heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin", it is simply the difference between heaven and earth, making him feel that his well-arranged ambush battle is like a child's play.
============================= divider =============================
"Brother on the mountain, haven't you seen the thief yet?" The leader led more than a dozen bandits to the bottom of the hill, the height of this hill is only forty meters, and it stands to reason that shouting from below can definitely be heard. However, there was no response, but I vaguely saw someone carrying a lantern and drawing a straight line up and down at them.
"What do you ask?" The bandits below shouted again, "Speak, don't shake that lamp around, it's useless!" ”
Hatred is far from cool, and hatred is pointed out by Leng Yuan
According to the plan, more than fifty bandits were stationed at the top of the hill, and since they were used as outposts, their weapons were mainly sharpened wooden guns, and the head of the spear was loaded with a bayonet captured from the last battle of Glorious Ridge. He had hidden the bayonet since he had picked it up, and he had kept it early when he sold the weapons of the men. This double-edged bayonet was 'fine' and sharp, and the blade was unimaginably sharp, and it could be easily loaded with just one sharpening of the barrel, and it could be used as a spear directly in battle, almost invincible, and there was no better spear in the entire bandit's den.
But the spear was now lying on the ground, and its owner was now lying on the ground with a long tongue no more than two meters from it. The shaft of the spear had been broken, and the bayonet at the head of the spear was missing. On all sides of the spear, there were scattered corpses lying on the ground, and at first glance there were more than forty of them. On the side of the road, there were more than a dozen bandits lying or sitting, in the same posture as if they were asleep, and one of the bandits stood in the distance, his feet shaking like chaff, and his hand just holding a lantern and shaking it up and down. A sleeping bandit beside him, his eyes were round, bleeding, he didn't know how long he had been dead, and if he looked closely, everyone in the bandits next to him was about the same, or they had long tongues, or their eyes were big, but they had long lost their breath.
This is the "masterpiece" of the assault detachment of the special investigation team, and the special investigation team took advantage of the night to attack this secret outpost that is not worthy of the name -- this group of bandits is simply bandits, and it is difficult to change the "nature" of bandits, and they light a fire on the top of the mountain at night, sit by the fire and drink and have fun, and the noise can be heard even from a kilometer away, and they never thought that the special reconnaissance team of the people could go out to attack in the middle of the night, and there was absolutely no sound at all in the attack, if it was not deliberately to leave a living mouth, no one would know that this secret sentry was completely uprooted. The only one left alive was honestly signaling to that side, for fear that the slightest mistake would be 'killed' by the stalker.
There were already sixteen special detective team members lying on the key points on both sides of the hill, and it was Yang Muqin who took the lead, he glanced at the blue grass not far away, and secretly thought in his heart, "Ready, wait for you to 'shoot' the arrow first, and then we will shoot when they start shouting." ”
"Well, no problem." Bluegrass's voice came to his head out of thin air, "If I can 'shoot' them all to death, you'd better not shoot." ”
"Of course," Yang Muqin stared at a bandit at the front walking in a figure-eight step, scolding all the way to a distance of six or seven meters, and secretly thought in his heart, "Start!" ”
