Chapter 133: Destroying the withered and decaying
As the fire around the mountain increases, the smoke and dust around the mountain gradually increases.
The fire spread under the mountain, and the flames could be seen on the road down the mountain, and then the fire extended up the mountain.
Xu Xian looked into the distance and muttered, "If this momentum continues, I'm afraid that it won't take until dawn for the fire to burn to the mountain." There are so many women and children on the mountain, which is not a good thing. ”
When the people next to him heard this, they were all thinking in their hearts, this Xu Zhixian is really virtuous, and the relatives of those thieves are already considered accomplices, only this Xu Zhixian is still thinking about the life and death of these accomplices.
After about half an hour, the mountain was already full of thick smoke, and even on the way down the mountain, the smoke and dust began to increase.
Suddenly, a fast horse came from a distance, and then a scout jumped down from his horse, coughing and saying, "Ahem, my lord...... There are thieves on the mountain who have fled down the mountain! ”
"Sure enough!" Xu Xian suddenly shouted excitedly, "Brothers, pick up the guys and get ready to work!" ”
"Yo!" The soldiers in the city did not say a word and fled.
Stuck on the road down the mountain, the mountain is already full of smoke, even if it is a thief who can escape from the mountain, it must be out of breath, at this time to be a deserter, that is called stupid.
The few who shouted that they would be deserters at any time have already tightened the stumbling ropes in their hands, waiting for those who can't open their eyes to go down the mountain at any time.
Xu Xian said: "The first batch of people who go down the mountain must be good at riding horses, to take down these people, there is only one chance, if they let them pass our ambush formation, it will be difficult to catch them, a cavalry is a credit, if you don't want to lose the credit, cheer up!" ”
"Yo!" There was an almost uniform shout from within the grass.
Whether it was the young men of Dujiazhai brought by Xu Xian or the indigenous soldiers of Yanshan County, their eyes widened, for fear that they would miss something.
At this moment, a violent sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
As the sound of horses' hooves approached, the hearts of these soldiers also rose to their throats.
This is not the usual training, but with the bandits with real swords and guns, although they have an advantage, but they may still encounter accidents, everyone tightens the armor on their bodies, and this is also a moment of their honor.
As the sound of the horses' hooves approached, everyone almost held their breath.
Just wait for the last minute.
One hundred steps......
Fifty steps......
Thirty steps......
"Up!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the grass, it was the order given by Xu Xian himself, all the tripping ropes were tightened at the same time, and the soldiers all jumped up.
The three horses at present were almost simultaneously strangled by the tripping ropes, and the riders on them did not have the slightest time to react, and the horses and men fell forward at the same time.
The horses behind them, although they were not strangled by the tripping rope, stopped due to a sharp U-turn, but the riders above were thrown out directly.
"Up!"
The soldiers in the grass rushed forward with swords and shields, and in the shouts of killing, lifted the six or seven riders who rushed to the front from the ground.
Because these riders of the Black Wind Village themselves have been choked enough, plus they have been fallen, they have no ability to resist at this time, and they are easily captured by the soldiers.
Xu Xian shouted loudly: "The next batch of people will come immediately, and they will not be killed in the future, they will all work quietly, come to work in batches, and cooperate in the division of labor!" ”
Just as Xu Xian's words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from the road down the mountain.
This is good, the soldiers hurry to clean up the mess, but also to hurry to complete the work in front of them, some want to take the horses away, and those who can't sign to go have to drag the horses away, which requires a little trouble, and at the same time several people need to do it.
The rest of the people, some of them waited in the grass to continue to trip over a group of thieves from the Black Wind Village, and some were responsible for tying up the six or seven thieves who had been caught.
The downhill road, which was not very wide, has become a machine at this time, and it is running in an orderly manner.
……
……
In the sky, Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were still waiting.
They no longer need to care about how many thieves there are in the Black Wind Village, they just need to protect Xu Xian at any time to prevent the thieves from doing any physical harm to Xu Xian.
After several batches of riders from Black Wind Village were knocked down and captured alive, Xiaoqing had relaxed his vigilance.
"Sister, it seems that you are too worried, brother-in-law doesn't have to go up to get people in person, just watch from behind, where is the danger?" Xiaoqing Mei said, "This kind of game of catching thieves is really fun, no matter how many comes, it's not enough to catch them!" ”
Bai Suzhen said angrily: "This is a battlefield, you can't take it lightly, if your brother-in-law is in any danger, I'll ask you!" ”
Xiaoqing stuck out his tongue and continued to look down, at this time, the number of thieves captured by the official army was as many as thirty or forty, and there were more thieves who went down the mountain, but the people who fled down the mountain later had no horses.
In this era, horses were still very scarce strategic materials, except for the horses at the beginning were war horses, the follow-up were some very low-quality domestic horses, and even those who rode mules and donkeys down the mountain.
But it's also much faster than those who go down on two legs.
After these people went down the mountain, they were still coughing, drowsy and didn't know what was going on, but when they saw that the black pressure in front of them was overwhelming a group of officers and soldiers, these people still wanted to flee into the grass, but they were all carried up by the officers and soldiers one by one.
"Where is the owner of the village surnamed Xiong?" The young man of Dujiazhai went up to drink and asked.
Xu Xian knows very well that the owner of Heifeng Village must escape relatively late, if the owner of this village still has a glimmer of life, he will definitely guard his own family business and refuse to escape, but because the fire under the mountain has burned to the mountain through the grass on the cliff, at this time the Black Wind Village has caught fire, and the Black Wind Village has been unable to hold, so at this time, the owner of the Black Wind Village must also be among the fleeing crowds.
"I don't know, the king spares his life!" Those bandits didn't know who set up the ambush, so they could only shout for mercy.
"your grandmother, who is the king, this is the lord, wait until you enter the Hades palace to tell the Hades!"
Because the scene was very chaotic and because of the lack of manpower, Xu Xian's team seemed to be overstretched in the face of more and more people from Black Wind Village who were fleeing.
But fortunately, there are enough ropes prepared, and those who are responsible for tying people will quickly tie up one after the bundle, and each one will be kicked to the ground, and there will be a knife and axe hand watching next to him, and whoever wants to run will inevitably be cut down with a knife.
But the thieves who came down from the mountain rarely breathed a few breaths of fresh air, and they would not escape, as if being able to breathe was already a gift from God.
"A lot of people are coming! Go up and arrest people, one counts as a credit, and two counts as a pair......"
As a large number of thieves fled on foot on the mountain, Xu Xian found that these soldiers in front of him could no longer be stopped, and there was only merit in their eyes.
