Yamazaki Osa put down the phone and pushed away a military prostitute wrapped around him, his eyes glazed and his heart churning up and down like boiling water. He really couldn't figure it out, he wanted to trap the three heroines of the rivers and lakes and Xu Zhihong and others to death, and the troops were arranged seamlessly, but he didn't expect that in just one night, the west would be disrupted by the three heroines of the rivers and lakes.

The military prostitute couldn't see the height of his eyebrows, and shouted: "Your Excellency Osa, don't let the phone sweep away, I'll ......" Yamazaki Osaku squinted and said, "Less nonsense." The military prostitute saw his fierce appearance, did not dare to speak, and covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep first.

Yamazaki Dazuo pondered for a long time before calling Wu Yueting, on the phone, he briefly explained the situation, and then said solemnly: "Senior Commander Wu, I order your regiment to immediately drive to the west bank of Daxigou, looking for an opportunity to fight with the three heroines of the rivers and lakes." The formation of the second regiment was ordered to move south, compressing the activity space of the three women of the rivers and lakes. Wu Yueting didn't dare to slack off, and passed on the order that night.

After receiving the order, Tian Maolin, the commander of the second regiment, summoned Hao Xin, the deputy head of the regiment, and Gong Zhilong, the chief of staff, overnight, and said with a gloomy face: "The division commander has an order to let our formation move south, I don't know what Brother Hao and Brother Gong think?" ”

Gong Zhilong is the most cunning, frowned, and said: "Commander, the further south the big sloping ditch is, the more dangerous the terrain is, if we move south, we are afraid that we will suffer." Hao Xin and Gong Zhilong have never been on good terms, a pair of thin lips pursed, and said: "The division commander has an order, could it be that Brother Gong wants to disobey the order?" Gong Zhilong snorted and said, "I don't dare to disobey orders, but Brother Hao is very resourceful, why don't you tell me the plan in your heart?" Hao Xin originally relied on nepotism, so what kind of wisdom did he have for a long time, and he didn't say a single plan.

Tian Maolin's face changed several times, fixed on his bitter face, and said: "A few days ago, Yamazaki Dazuo was defeated by a line of heaven, saying that we can't do our work, if it weren't for the kind words of the division commander, our heads would have fallen off. When the division commander called, he said that the order came from Yamazaki Daisa, and he repeatedly told us to carry it out, otherwise, we will bear the consequences. ”

Gong Zhilong's abrupt eye bags twitched, and he said in a slow tone: "Since it is Yamazaki Daisa's order, we have seven heads, and we dare not disobey the eight dares, so ...... There is only one way to get through the current difficulties. ”

Tian Maolin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Brother Gong, say it quickly." Gong Zhilong stirred up a pair of eyes, seemed to be smiling, and said: "The key to my strategy is to fall on Brother Hao." Hao Xin was surprised: "Why did it fall on me?" Gong Zhilong said: "The second battalion and the third battalion will not move, and Brother Hao can lead the first battalion and the artillery battalion to move south." First, it can relieve the sorrow in the head of the regiment, and second, with Brother Hao's talent, he may be able to annihilate the three heroines of the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop! ”

Although Tian Maolin knew that Gong Zhilong was not well-intentioned, he couldn't think of any other way, and said: "Brother Hao, Chen Dayou understands the terrain, and it is not a problem for you to lead a battalion to advance twenty miles south. If you dare to start a war with the three heroines of the rivers and lakes, with the firepower of the artillery battalion, the miracle may fall on your head. ”

Hao Xin's fire nest was too big to attack, so he glanced at Gong Zhilong and asked, "Commander, when will I leave?" Tian Maolin said: "It's dawn." Hao Xin walked out of the regiment headquarters and called Chen Dayou and the commander of the artillery battalion, Cai Junjie, to his military tent to discuss countermeasures.

Chen Dayou's mind came quickly, and he said: "Deputy Head Hao, the only plan for today is only one word 'drag'." Hao Xin asked, "How to delay?" Chen Dayou said: "Pave the road and advance steadily, even if you carry out the order, you can save your life." Cai Junjie raised a pair of thin eyebrows and said, "Yes, the road is paved, so that my artillery can keep up." ”

Hao Xin also felt that this method was good, so as soon as the day dawned, he led people to pave the road and advance at the same time, but this also seriously affected the speed of advancement, and it took more than ten miles to go out at the end of the day. Hao Xin saw that the sunset was fading, and the sky was slowly darkening, and shouted: "Battalion Commander Chen, arrange the first company on the stone hill in front, and the second and third companies will be deployed left and right. The battalion commander was only the commander of the artillery battalion, and the artillery battalion was arranged in the eastern mountain pass, and if there was a situation, it would be shelled immediately. ”

As soon as Chen Dayou arranged his troops, Siye sank into the darkness, trying to find a place to rest, when he suddenly heard an exclamation, hurriedly ran over, and asked, "What are you shouting?" An Imperial Associate soldier raised his hand to the west and said, "Look." Chen Dayou raised his eyes and looked, and the blue mangs in the distance were approaching little by little, and he hurriedly shouted: "The wolves are coming, hurry up and light the fire." ”

The fire was lit, and the wolves were gone. Chen Dayou saw that everyone's faces were pale and their expressions were quite nervous, thinking that he was the same, he bent down and picked up a wooden stick, raised the flames, and said, "The wolves are infested, maybe it's a good thing." One soldier asked, "What's so good?" Chen Dayou said: "There are wolves at night, and the three heroines of the rivers and lakes and Xu Zhihong dare not come over to harass them." When everyone heard that he was reasonable, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Dayou didn't say it right, at this time, Liu Hui, Xia Yifan and others were coming from south to north. Gu Yue walked around a deep pool, suddenly stopped, and said, "What kind of smell is this?" Yu Lan exhaled the turbid breath in his lungs, sniffed lightly, and said, "The strange smell is a little pungent, as if it is ......." Yes, yes, this is the taste of realgar. ”

Gu Yue covered her nose and asked, "What is realgar?" Yu Lan didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Let's look for it." "They follow the strange smell, and the more they walk, the stronger the smell becomes. Gu Yue walked at the forefront, bypassed a mountain cliff, and shouted, "This is it, it's really choking!" Xia Yifan lit the torch and illuminated the surroundings.

It is a small canyon surrounded by either steep slopes or cliffs. Near the north side of the cliff there is a spring, and the water gushes and gushes, forming a small pool on the ground. A few meters from the spring, there is a tall ancient pine, with lush branches and foliage, reaching into the sky.

When a few people came to the tree, they saw that the ground was scattered with orange stones of different sizes, either granular or earthy, and under the light of the fire, the red light shone brightly, like patches of clouds. Yu Lan said happily: "This is realgar, most of which are produced next to hot springs, and are the nemesis of poisonous snakes." As he spoke, he picked up a few pieces of realgar, which were larger than the beans, gave them to a few people, and said, "Put it in your pocket, and the viper will smell it, and it will run away." ”

Liu Hui seemed to be unconvinced, and said, "Can it?" Yu Lan smiled lightly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can look around and see if there are any snakes and insects?" Liu Hui's ears are special, when he walked here, he really didn't hear the sound of snakes and insects crawling, so he smiled and said: "Senior sister's words, I naturally believe it, since realgar has the effect of avoiding snakes, my senior brother and I stayed to monitor the enemy, senior sister, second senior sister, you two and eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law send realgar back some, so as not to worry about snake prevention all day long." ”
