Chapter Eighty-Four: Military Express

Seeing Wang Ke walking out of the castle with Xiaojiao, Wang Manqiu beckoned to her, and Wang Ke walked over.

"Did Rong'er find it?" A few simple words, Wang Manqiu is in no mood at the moment, some things are understood, but he will still get used to asking. Then he immediately diverted the subject, "Can you write?" ”

"Yes."

"Write a Feng Chi newspaper and send it to your sister, so that she can arrange the residence of these people in advance." Wang Manqiu said, "Let's talk about the situation here in general, and tell her that we will continue to go to Huangshan to find Rong'er." ”

Wang Ke said: "The rebels plagued Taoxian Town, threatened Jiangning at all times, searched for my sister in Wangjiabao to no avail, and were searching for Huangshan, and a number of people who moved north, hoping to take them in and resettle." How about writing like this? ”

"Okay." Wang Manqiu waved his hand, and the two people next to him handed over pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Wang Ke wrote this report, and was just about to put it in a wooden tube and seal it with clay, Wang Manqiu grabbed it and unfolded it to take a look, and immediately called Wang Ke to a secluded place, "What do you usually rely on to get in touch?" ”

"Rush to report."

"Nonsense! I'm talking about contact! Wang Manqiu stepped forward and glared at Wang Ke, lowered his voice and said, "This kind of report is easy to be exposed by the enemy, you have to think of a safe way?" ”

Wang Ke smiled slightly, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, if this Chi Bao unfortunately falls into the hands of others, they will definitely think that this is passing on military information." ”

"Morse code?" Wang Manqiu asked in surprise, and then came to his senses, this is impossible.

"A Tibetan poem that only my eldest sister and I can understand." Wang Ke replied.

Wang Manqiu's eyes narrowed, staring at the report for a long time, he really didn't sort out his head, and he didn't say anything more and turned around and left, and said loudly: "One hour, eat some dry food, and set off again!" ”

Although the villagers won a fierce battle, many villagers were killed and wounded. Among the people brought by Wang Manqiu, two were also sacrificed, and one was seriously injured.

The villagers buried the corpses together and dealt with the wounded, Wang Manqiu sent a fast horse to deliver the gallop report, and sent a fat aunt with minor injuries to lead the villagers and the seriously injured to retreat north to Jiangning. I did a rough count just now, and there were more than 250 villagers, and there were quite a few half-sized children. It's no wonder that the last remaining remnants can't escape.

When Wang Manqiu and his party were set off, there were seven people, and now there are four people left to continue walking.

When the people gathered, Xiaojiao came to Wang Manqiu's side and whispered, "Childe, I'm doing well, right?" ”

"Not bad, not bad! Heroine. Wang Manqiu smiled and pinched her face, "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?" I know I'm looking for you, and it's up to you to do the rest. In Jiangning, he analyzed the flying pigeon biography passed by Wang Rong, and he knew that it was unlikely that he would find Wang Rong in Wangjiabao, which was why he took Xiaojiao with him.

"I'll make sure you're satisfied." Xiaojiao nodded seriously, "I will definitely find Sister Rong'er too!" ”

Wang Manqiu squatted down, and the other three people all gathered around. They have been used to it in the past few days, and as long as Wang Manqiu squats down, most of them will assign tasks to them. He smiled and said, "Next, we will rush to the foot of the Yellow Mountain, and then divide into two groups, Ke'er and I will be in a group, and you two will be in a group." Rong'er's clothes have been found, right? Xiaojiao, do you want to try more, do you know? After several days, it is more difficult to find. But I'm sure Xiaojiao will be able to do it! "To let Xiaojiao know that this is the search method of the police dogs in the future, she has to fight with Wang Manqiu.

Xiaojiao nodded very seriously, "Let's see which of us finds Rong'er first, I will definitely not lose to Childe!" ”

Wang Manqiu said: "We have eliminated this lone group of rebel rangers, but our personnel have also been reduced. The road ahead is not optimistic, since there are rebels infiltrated here, it is estimated that the area of Huangshan is not safe. Taoxian Town has fallen, and there will be many rebels around Jiangning looting and burning. What we have to do now is not only to find Rong'er, but also to avoid the enemy as much as possible, and to encounter the people who need to be rescued. We have limited manpower, and we can't do it brutally. Further down the road the situation is even more dangerous. The three of you must be vigilant and obey orders. Especially Wang Ke, don't just want to kill the enemy in vain, our main task is to find Rong'er! ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, without further ado, let's go!" After Wang Manqiu finished speaking, everyone prepared separately.

The group got on their horses and were silent for a while by the large grave that passed by the villagers were buried.

All three girls burst into tears, but no one cried.

"On the day of victory, we will come again to pay respects!" Wang Manqiu said loudly, "Let's go!" ”

Wang Manqiu glanced back at the lifeless empty village, and the ordinary people suffered the most from the war. No matter what era, as a soldier. His duty is always sacred - to defend the country!

Wang Manqiu and his entourage continued to advance south along the mountain road. Along the way, they found a lot of scattered fleeing people, and several people comforted them and guided them to flee to Jiangning, where there was Dahua's main Wang Shi. And from the mouths of these fleeing people, they also learned a lot about the situation ahead.

In the evening, Wang Manqiu and his party walked out of the mountain forest. Ahead, you can faintly see the continuous mountains and mountains, and there is no longer the cover of mountains and forests. This is the famous Yellow Mountain since ancient times.

Looking at the mountain and running dead horses, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and this road has to go dozens of miles. From the middle of last night to the present, there has been a fight, everyone is obviously tired, and even the war horses are a little weak.

"Come on, everyone!" Wang Manqiu said, "Be sure to enter the Yellow Mountain before it gets dark!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden uproar of smoke and dust in front of him.

Wang Manqiu jumped off his horse and put his ear to the ground to listen for a moment, and said loudly: "A large group of men and horses are coming, there are cavalry!" ”

"Hide in the woods!"

Wang Manqiu immediately took the people back into the woods and hid. There was a bad premonition in everyone's hearts - could it be that the enemy's army was pressing the border?!

After a while, a large number of black and oppressive figures ran in front of them, crying father and mother, and there was chaos, obviously a group of refugees fleeing for their lives. Behind them, a group of cavalry was in pursuit, their bows and arrows flying wildly and slashing like tigers into a flock of sheep.

Wang Ke said loudly without hesitation, "Kill the enemy and save people!" ”

"Kill your sister!" Wang Manqiu hurriedly stopped, and said quickly: "The number of enemy troops is not less than hundreds, let alone save the people if you rush to attack, just a few of us are not enough to stuff people's teeth!" ”

When everyone heard this, they had nothing to say, but they all felt that it was not that taste in their hearts.

Wang Ke looked at Wang Manqiu almost willingly, "Brother-in-law, we can't just watch them kill the common people!" ”

Wang Manqiu squinted his eyes and stared at Wang Ke for a moment, and shouted-"Then what do you say, Rong'er doesn't need to be saved?" ”

"I, I ......" Wang Ke couldn't say a word for a long time.

The men and horses in front were only three hundred meters away, the people were fleeing in a hurry, and the cavalry behind was frantically covering up. The few people who chased after them had already rushed into the crowd of people, and the knives in their hands fell like chopping melons and vegetables, and their heads and limbs flew wildly, and blood splattered and screamed.

Everyone's eyes looked like they were about to breathe fire, but everyone didn't act rashly, waiting for Wang Manqiu's order.

Wang Ke stood by Wang Manqiu's side and stared ahead, her face was still hideous, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she was holding the musket in her hand.

Wang Ke's hoarse voice sounded again, obviously speaking to Wang Manqiu, "You are definitely not an ordinary person. If it weren't for the countless lives and deaths that have been fought in a hundred battles, there would not be such calmness; Or a cold-blooded and ruthless monster, in such a time of crisis - how can you tell me that you are going to find Rong'er? ”

Wang Manqiu barely looked back at Wang Ke, in the face of a more cruel environment than this, he has encountered it, it is really not that he is cold-blooded, but he will always estimate for the first time, what are the chances of survival, after hundreds of wars in his previous life, he can survive in the end, that is by no means avoidable by luck and cowardice alone. He has his own war instincts.

"Woo-woo!!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen horns sounded in the woods, and at the same time thousands of horses ran out of the woods, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose everywhere. At the same time, a loud roar to everyone.

The people running in front of them were quickly formed in a circle, almost everyone had a scimitar behind them, and the blade touched the neck, and some people did not have a scimitar on their erections, so they only knew how to run for their lives, and ran in a panic.

The sound of the horn changed again after a while, one after the other, and it was obvious that they were practicing hunting. A discerning person can hear it at once.

At that moment, the cavalry running at the front suddenly stopped. About one or two hundred horsemen also stopped in turn, and there was no confusion at all.

"Kill—" There was a loud metal thump from the forest as he slammed his sword against his armor. Looking at the woods again, the smoke and dust in the sky exceeded the tips of the trees, and thousands of cavalry poured out like thousands of horses galloping.

Everyone had a cold war, but fortunately everyone didn't rush to attack just now, otherwise they would have been really rounded.

"Fast into the woods! - Hurry up, hurry up!! Wang Manqiu urged.

Everyone knows in their hearts that these people are not idiots. Once they were discovered, and they were still three beautiful girls, it was time to bring humiliation upon themselves, Wang Manqiu thought to himself, with their personalities, he didn't know who would be willing to be a prisoner.

Time is very short, if you can't hide in another forest before the Nanban cavalry surrounds you, staying on the edge of this official road is a live target. The archery kung fu of the Southern Barbarians is not vegetarian, this is a group that tends to rise in the forest, and eight-year-old children are proud to wear Yang in 100 steps! Just like the people of Shanyue, they have always made a living from hunting. I really didn't expect that this time the rebels and the southern barbarians would unite and use troops. It seems that Dahua is in danger! Wang Manqiukong has a heart to serve the country, but he finds that he doesn't know who to help.

Wang Manqiu carried Xiaojiao on his back and desperately drilled into the woods. The sound of horses' hooves rolling in the north was getting closer and closer.

This is really a disaster!
