Chapter 43 Beware of the Ten Thousand Years Boat

In March, Yang Xi personally led a team of 100 people from the spy battalion to the county government of Exian County.

Li Jue looked at Yang Xi's team, which was not high-profile, all of them were all linen, about fifteen to twenty years old. As for Yang Xi himself, he was wearing a silk robe, and his body length was now seven feet eight inches, almost one meter eight.

Yang Xi, as the leader of the team, wants to participate in this thief suppression operation in person. However, it stands to reason that if the thief is successful, a squire like Yang Xi can choose to stay in the county town and wait for the dispatch, or he can choose to come back. But the people who brought it over will be taken back to the county.

Li Qi is also relatively incorruptible, with only a few feet and two mules in charge of some personal clothing. A group of more than 100 people arrived at Chenhe Port, and there were already three boats arranged by the county, waiting for everyone.

Although these three boats are not as big as the Chenhe, they are all about 40 meters long, and more than 100 people are more than enough.

When Li Qi and the others came, there were already people waiting on the shore, and several sergeants saw Jun Cheng and Yang Xi, and asked everyone to get on the boat. As for the cloth clothes brought by Yang Xi, they didn't have a good face, and their voices were rough all the way.

Yang Xi calculated, only more than 20 miles after Yi County, there was a boat off the ferry, after going ashore and walking more than ten miles north, a city much larger than the county seat of Exian County appeared in front of Yang Xi's eyes.

This is the current county governance of Jiangxia.

Li Qi only took Yang Xi into the city, but the others were taken away by other sergeants. The soldiers' camp, of course, was not in the city.

Li Qi first instructed his foot force to salute and take his family to his residence, but he took Yang Xi and went directly to the county guard's mansion.

There is nothing special about the county watchhouse, and the most advanced house at this time is wooden. Yang Xi entered the hall, but found that there were more than a dozen people waiting in the hall, and people came in one after another. Yang Xi found that there were several people who turned out to be children of a family in a nearby county and had business dealings with Dong Cai.

Naturally, they don't know Yang Xi, Yang Xi has always been relatively low-key in Chenhe Port.

But looking around, Yang Xi is the most eye-catching in this, no way, he is tall.

The height is almost 1.8 meters, and the average height of people at this time is about 1.6 meters.

Especially this strong body, it seems that Yang Xi is much stronger than the others.

After a while, more than a dozen county soldiers came in, followed by a middle-aged man with a long beard, this person had a fair complexion, a wide face and big ears, and a figure of eight feet, similar to Yang Xi.

Everyone saw the county guard, and Yang Xi had no choice but to bend down and salute. People from all over the country were introduced to the county guard Liu Xiang one by one, and Yang Xi was also introduced by Li Qi.

Hearing that this person was Yang Chenhe of Exian County, Liu Xiang took a closer look at it a few times, and said unprecedentedly: "You are Yang Chenhe of Exian County?" Sure enough, he is a talent, during this time, you are under my hands, but you have to behave well, and it will be good for you to wait for the thieves to be suppressed. ”

Yang Xi replied with a salute, but he was not humble or silent, which made this Liu Xiang look at him even more.

Yang Xi didn't see Liu Xiang's son Liu Ba, Liu Ba at this time should be older than himself, don't you come out to make contributions?

Not surprisingly, he was appointed as a centurion, led a hundred people in the county, and issued a set of equipment, but it was a set of iron armor and a ring hand knife.

And the hundred people he brought were organized into a county soldier system, with five people as a captain and twenty people as a chief.

After three days of preparation for the military exercise, a total of 2,000 people, led by Liu Xiang, the Taishou and commanded by Liu Tao, the county lieutenant, went out of Xiling and pointed directly at Tianmen Mountain in the north of Jingling City.

Yang Xi was a little depressed, he was also a centurion anyway, but he didn't even give a horse.

After running for half a day, they arrived at a mountain pass, and the county lieutenant Liu Tao sent scouts to investigate, but they reported that they did not find any trace of the Yellow Turban thieves.

So the army traveled lightly and entered the mountainous area, and Yang Xi and other newcomers became front-end pathfinders.

With such a large group of county soldiers, the Yellow Turban Thief naturally noticed it, and Yang Xi also knew that it could not be so smooth.

Sure enough, it was not far, hundreds of people were killed on both sides of the mountain, and the equipment was not well-equipped, but it was better to fight in the mountains. The county soldiers were killed, but these yellow turban thieves did not love to fight, so they took over half a cup of tea and retreated directly, leaving only a dozen corpses of the county soldiers.

Liu Tao, the county lieutenant, was so angry that he was about to order all directions to divide troops to pursue, but was stopped by Liu Xiang.

"The thief's move must have a deep meaning, we can't mess with ourselves and continue to advance!"

Liu Tao thought about it, so he gathered troops and continued to move forward, less than two miles, and it was a gong and drum, but hundreds of thieves had dozens of bows and arrows this time, and shot indiscriminately, killing thirty or forty people, and when the county soldiers arrived at the short encounter, the thieves turned around and ran.

Yang Xi secretly thought that this group of yellow turban thieves is not simple, and it is not so easy to suppress the thieves with the strategy of exhausting soldiers.

The eunuch Xiao Zhongzi also traveled with the army at this moment, and when he saw that the county soldiers were teased twice, he was also furious, shouting that Liu Xiang would pursue.

Liu Xiang just didn't care, he had already found the location of the thief's lair, but he didn't care about harassment, he just smashed Huanglong.

Yang Xi felt that it was not so simple.

But at this moment, Yang Xi is soft-spoken, and in the eyes of these giants who have been in the history books, he can only be regarded as a grass, a relatively strong grass.

Fortunately, his own unit was well organized by himself and did not damage manpower.

Yang Xi estimated that this was a plan to lure the enemy with tired soldiers, and it was better not to be cut off here, and he had to be careful.

Sure enough, the third wave of attack appeared again after Sanli, although there were archers on the side of the county soldiers, but in the mountains, the opponent was high and down, and no one could be injured at all.

This time, some rolling stones fell, Yang Xi was startled, fortunately, the hillside was not high, only a few zhang away, and only a wave of rolling stones was rolled, and the county soldiers had already rushed up, and the loss was only a dozen or twenty people.

After three consecutive harassments, the county soldiers were all depressed, and only Yang Xi restrained the subordinates and did not relax their vigilance.

According to Yang Xi's own meaning, where will he take the ready-made mountain road, directly send a group of soldiers and horses, from both sides of the hillside, through the back, around the back of the thieves, at least you can meet the big battle head-on, there are many people on your side, what you want is to fight head-on.

Yang Xi looked at Liu Xiang from a distance, this person was beating his own direct county soldiers, what was the use. The more Yang Xi thought about it, the more wrong it became. You can't fold it here.

Thinking of this, regardless of whether it would anger Liu Xiang, he ran down directly alone, ran to Liu Xiang and said: "My lord, the thief soldier is a tired tactic, but he wants to lure me deeper, and the grass people are willing to lead the department and penetrate the mountains and forests, thinking that it is a response!" ”

Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, this kind of small role, he actually came directly to answer with himself in front of the battle, but there was no summons, and he was about to get angry, but he saw that the person in front of him was eight feet tall, heroic in his eyebrows, and strong in body, so he knew that this person was a legend in Exian County, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Since you are willing to risk your life, Ben Taishou will give you this opportunity!" The biography is too orderly, with centurion Yang Xi, leading a hundred people from the headquarters, acting cheaply from the flank, thinking that it should be a response! ”

Yang Xi clenched his fists and responded: "Oh! He turned around and led the men and horses of his headquarters, opened the way with a long knife, and turned into the mountains and forests.

A hundred people were silent, trying to hide their tracks, broke away from the team, and followed the traces in the mountains and forests.

After walking less than five or six miles, I heard another shout of killing in the northwest direction, and when I heard it, I knew that it was all bluffing.

Yang Xi didn't care, and continued to look for the traces left by the other party.

After walking for another three miles, I saw that the grass and trees in this place were a little messy, as if there were traces of a large number of people and horses passing by. Yang Xi was cautious, and the people of the headquarters waited here first, but he led two clever ones, and the three of them sneaked away.

After crossing a mountain pass, I found that there was a depression in front of me that looked like a huge pond, and there was no water in it.

When I looked again, I found some new soil in the depression from a distance, and there were some rocks next to the soil. Yang Xi's head buzzed, cold sweat broke out, and when he looked up, he saw that farther away, there was indeed a newly piled up high dam.

"Oh my God! Luckily, I was a fast runner, and this wasn't your average yellow turban thief. There must have been a cave under the new soil under this depression, but the reason why the depression did not become a reservoir was that the water leaked from there.

The new dam must have been built by the Yellow Turban Thieves knowing that the county soldiers were coming to suppress it, and it could be repaired at any time to store water. There must be a reservoir on it, and among these yellow turban thieves, there are masters! ”

Yang Xi didn't know that at this time, there were dozens of people lurking next to Xinba, it was the leader of this Yellow Turban Thief, Jian Lance and others, Jian Lance looked a little reckless, and a long lance was a head taller than himself. But the person next to him is six points similar to Jian Li, but he is much more delicate, probably less than twenty. This person is Jian Yan's younger brother Jian Yan, the word is Yizhou, but his real strength is not much weaker than his brother, the key is that this person still has some strategy, otherwise he would not choose to settle in a place far away from Luoyang.

Yang Xi saw from a distance that a team of one or two thousand people was coming from the mountain road, dejected, and half of them had already entered the depression.

"It's too late!" Yang Xi wanted to inform him, but there was no way, the distance was too far, and these tired soldiers, it is estimated that if they did not take the ready-made mountain road, they would open a new road instead, and they would not be interested.

Yang Xi took two followers, silently, and retreated directly. At this moment, if he shouts, others don't believe it or say it, there must be ambushes in this place, a few Yang Xi are not afraid, if there are dozens of them, they will be explained here today.

On the other side of the dam, Jian Li asked his younger brother: "Yizhou!" Do we want to release the water now? It's half a day after they come in, what if they find out that something is wrong and retreat? ”

"Humph! Just this group of wine bags and rice bags, what can also be found, we have done so much foreshadowing before, and now their minds have already drifted to our village, and they are thinking of pulling out our cottage and avenging our revenge. Wait! The younger brother vowed to wipe him out today, and all the soldiers and thieves did not return. Get my leopard gun! ”

Jian Yan's face flashed, and two thieves had already gone to help him get the spear.

Yang Xi is thinking hard at the moment, how to break the situation, he ran away, but in case the whole army is wiped out and only he is left, then after going back, the court asked, how to deal with it? I didn't lose anything of my own.
