Chapter 99: Lu Jing suppresses the bandits, knows the king's tomb
The fork of the Jiujiang River in Changsha is full of hills, and among the innermost hills live many immigrants, all of whom are bandits, living by plundering ships and inhabitants of the county. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Most of them escaped from Xianyang or the straight road, the reason is very simple, they don't want to be coolies, they want to occupy the mountain as the king and live a chic life.
Judging from the whole layout, the front is a wooden observation deck, and there is a moat outside, which is very in line with the setting of the normal capital, no wonder the county guards of Jiujiang County did not dare to come to encircle and suppress.
Ten miles away from the Changsha County Guard's Mansion, Lu Yan sat on top of the head, and Lu Jing and the three of them sat side by side, "There are just some bandits in front, how about Brother Ziwen go and investigate first?" ”
"It's okay, I don't know how to investigate, if I venture forward, I will definitely be discovered by them." Lu Jing said with a little thought.
"Brother only needs to observe on the periphery, Zhao Duwei led a thousand elite soldiers to ambush in the hills, if they find you, they will come up, and then Zhao Duwei will assassinate the thieves with archers." Lu Yan also said seriously.
The two of them felt that this plan was feasible, and they also nodded, "Captain Ren, you can just practice the soldiers here, as for me to arrange Hu Hai Gongzi first." Lu Yan then arranged.
At noon, Zhao Tuo led a thousand soldiers straight to the fork, while Lu Jing led several soldiers from the waterway and rushed towards the stronghold, and his actions were very agile.
Bypassing a few hills, Lu Jing can see the cottage from a distance, the overall scale is not large, but the geographical location is quite superior, and then he got off the boat and carefully recorded the situation around.
At this moment, in the cottage, several people are sitting in the wooden house, there are warm tea leaves on the table, all of them seem to have been looted, led by a man in his early thirties, with a short beard at the corner of his mouth, a very thick calloused on his hands, wearing only a shabby regular clothes, but his eyes are very sharp, this person is none other than Wang Ling.
He summed up his life by following many big names, but he still followed the right person, and the person he was loyal to was the last Han Gaozu Liu Bang, and the last official was the right prime minister, and he was seized by Empress Lu.
But he hasn't made a career yet, just working as a bandit on the mountain, "Boss, a few groups of people outside have been going around several times, do you want to catch them?" A thief at the head of the door said.
Wang Ling waved his hand, "I heard that the King of Qin recently sent troops to the south to conquer Baiyue, we have a shortcut here, maybe to survey the terrain, to attack us, we just wait and see what happens, don't go out for the time being." ”
The subordinates only nodded when they heard Wang Ling say this, "Wang Er and Wang San's eldest brother are going to take people out." The thief said as he looked at the other two people at the table.
It was Wang Er and Wang San who ran away with Wang Ling, they were originally surnamed Wang, and in the end they were afraid of being known by the government, so they changed their names to Wang Er and Wang San, only Wang Ling did not change his name and surname, and the two of them simply followed Wang Ling and changed their names to Er San.
Hearing his subordinates say this, Wang Ling looked at Wang Er and Wang San with an unkind face, and the two just lowered their heads, "It's all up to the eldest brother." Wang Er said slowly.
At this moment, Lu Jing had been walking around outside several times, and no one appeared, so he had to take a detour to the fork, and Zhao Tuo saw Lu Jing coming back, and immediately rushed out of the grass.
"Ziwen, are there bandits chasing after you?" Zhao Tuo said cautiously.
"Whoever is chasing, I sent people to observe everywhere, and there is no movement, so let's go back and tell Ziyu." Lu Jing wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.
Seeing this, Zhao Tuo just nodded, and then ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to return the same way, and Lu Yan here also arranged Hu Hai in the Changsha County Guard's Mansion to avoid causing trouble.
Lu Jing and the others returned to the barracks with some helplessness, and then took out the map drawn at noon and put it on the table, Lu Yan stood next to the table and looked at it carefully.
There is a sandwich road in the middle, and on the side is a long river, which is just connected with the moat, and Lu Jing, who entered Baiyue, is behind the Wangling cottage.
"Since they don't come out, we will attack directly tomorrow, and it will be all thatch, just use rockets." Lu Yan said seriously, he couldn't be restrained by a cottage when he first came here.
Lu Jing and the three of them nodded immediately, and the next day Lu Yan was the main general, with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and 1,000 archers rushing towards the cottage, while Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo were ambushed on one side, and Lu Jing took a hundred bows and crossbowmen to break off.
Looking at the cottage in front of him, Lu Yan frowned slightly, "Quickly call your master to come out, I have something to talk about." Lu Yan shouted at the high platform.
The guards above whispered a few words and ran towards the high platform, and in less than a moment, Wang Ling came out of the stockade and stood on the high platform opposite Lu Yan.
"Who is your Majesty?" Wang Ling asked very respectfully.
"I am the captain of the Qin State and the general of the Southern Expedition, Lu Yan and Lu Ziyu are also, who is Your Excellency?" Lu Yan clasped his fists with both hands.
Wang Ling looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't believe that he had held so many official positions, "In the lower mountain and wild village, Wang Ling is also, I don't know why General Lu wants to attack my cottage?" ”
Lu Yan is no stranger to hearing this name, but now that he is hostile, even Liu Bang is bound to fight.
"This village is a shortcut to the south to conquer Baiyue, if you go to Baiyue, you must first take this cottage." Lu Yan said slowly, and at this moment, Wang Ling sneered.
I saw a little movement in the water, and in an instant one hundred and ten soldiers in the stockade jumped up from the water, and at the same time, hundreds of archers on the high platform quickly released arrows, and the horses on Lu Yan's side were frightened and immediately retreated, and then all the soldiers in the water hid, and at the same time, the drawbridge in the stockade was put down instantly, and the two kings and three kings in the stockade also rushed over with the soldiers, and Lu Yan was originally a lot of people, but after the fright of the sailors, the horses were chaotic, and it was a chaotic fire, so he had to retreat.
"As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, and the general is offended." Wang Ling sneered.
Lu Yan below quickly retreated, "Retreat in an orderly manner, retreat in an orderly manner!" Lu Yan immediately turned around and shouted, riding his horse first.
Originally, Lu Yan's side were all well-trained soldiers, and when he retreated, he didn't forget to squat down and put a few rounds of arrows, and then immediately ran backwards, Lu Yan's side ran faster with a thousand men and horses, and the archers behind were scattered by Wang Er's thief army and collapsed.
Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan saw that the matter was urgent, and immediately responded to Lu Yan, and at the same time killed back the same way, and Lu Jing, who was at the back, heard a sound in front of him, so he immediately rushed over with a crossbowman.
Wang Ling thought that there were only 2,000 men and horses on Lu Yan's side, so he did not order a retreat, but asked Wang Er and Wang 3 to continue to lead the troops to chase over, and there were probably 1,000 people.
Ren Huan went out first and gathered the archers together, Zhao Tuo led people to rush over immediately, Wang Er thought that they were all routs, so he didn't suspect too much and continued to rush forward.
As soon as he walked to a place about ten miles away from the village, Ren Huan had already sorted out the archers, and Zhao Tuo led the soldiers and horses to kill them from the hills, and there were probably more than 500 Qin troops.
Wang San saw that the momentum was wrong, and knew that he had been ambushed, so he wanted to signal Wang Er to retreat, but he knew that Ren Huan released the arrow first, and one hundred and ten people fell to the ground in an instant, and Zhao Tuo also fought in one go.
