219. Tigers drive wolves (1)
Jinniuzhu is a small village, originally inhabited by dozens of families, and then there is a soil fence to wrap the village around to guard against lake bandits and bandits. Thanks to the blessing of the young tiger, there have been no lake bandits to disturb them in the past two years, but the peace time is not long, when the enemies of the village come, the insignificant resistance of the whole village suddenly becomes blood and corpses.
Now this is the "old camp" of Lao Hui, after killing all the villagers here, the family members in the old Hui camp unceremoniously regard this village as their home.
Bai Li knelt on the ground, facing the west, and bowed quietly.
"Lao Huihui" is not only a nickname, Ma Shouying himself is a Hui, he and Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, etc., are from the border army, and many of the elites around him are warriors of all ethnic groups in the border army, not only Han Hui people, but also Mongolians.
Bai Li is one of the earliest Hui people to follow under Lao Hui's account, and he can be regarded as Lao Hui's confidant. Hui people have to worship, but in the midst of the war, these complicated rituals have long been simplified by him, and now he is ordered to take a team of elites to guard the old camp, so he takes a break to complete his rituals.
Just as he buried his head on the ground again, a faint feeling from his forehead made his heart beat suddenly. He didn't care that his ritual was not yet complete, and turned his face sideways and pressed his ear to the ground.
It was the sound of horses' hooves, the hooves of dozens of horses!
Bai Li's eyes rolled for a moment, and there was wariness in his gaze, and he raised his head and glanced in the southeast direction where the sound of hooves was coming.
That direction is also the place where Lao Huihui is preparing to ambush Yang Erming.
"Is the palm of the plate back?" Bai Li thought to himself, but he felt that something was wrong.
If it were changed before Wuwei suffered defeat, Bai Li would never be so vigilant, but now it is different, Lao Hui has warned them many times in private, that Wuwei young tiger is used to doing elusive acts, and Lu 'Jiang is not far from Wu'wei', so they must be cautious.
Thinking that Lao Hui said that if something accidentally went wrong, he would kill them and send them to the eight kings to eat when he came back, Bai Li trembled.
I'm not afraid of death, I was dug out by Zhang Xianzhong's guy to make some nourishing dishes, that's a sad thing than death!
"Get up, get up, beware of our old man!"
Thinking of this, he shouted and scolded and drove his crooked companions up.
But the sound of hooves was gone, and no matter how much he tried to listen, he couldn't feel any sound.
Bai Li was a little stunned, and let people go up to the watchtower to look around, the fields on all sides were flat, except for the traces of their rogues, there was no trace of people at all.
"That's weird." Bai Li was stunned: "Could it be that my ears are wrong?" No way, I'm too old to hear. ”
He himself climbed up the watchtower, which was temporarily erected in the Golden Ox Zhu, and it was not very high, but it could also be seen for several miles, and in the twilight haze, the surroundings were vast, and although the sky was gloomy, no rain or snow had fallen, so that the surroundings were full of speckled gray-brown.
"Be careful with us, I think...... Something is not right! He shouted.
His feeling was right, less than two miles away from the Golden Ox Nagisa, there were nearly a hundred people lying quietly on the ground.
These nearly 100 people were dressed in gray-brown clothes, and carried all kinds of weapons on their backs, both long and short.
Ye Wuya raised the monocular clairvoyant in his hand and carefully observed the movements in the village, focusing on the watchtower. The figure of Bai Li looking at all sides on the watchtower is very clear in the clairvoyant mirror.
"The thing that the little official brought back is very useful, but unfortunately the quantity is limited, if each gang leader has one, it will be convenient!" Ye Wuya muttered in his heart.
He knew that Yu Guozhen was looking at this side with a clairvoyant mirror on the mountain bag a few miles away from him, but he was not in a hurry, the guys in the old camp were still a little vigilant, judging from their news in advance, there were nearly 20,000 people in the old camp of the Liukou, most of them were old and weak women and children who did not have much combat effectiveness, but there were also about 2,000 strong thieves.
Three hundred to two thousand, this number ratio is comparatively larger.
However, Ye Wuya did not have the slightest fear, one to ten, the family guard was established, which time was not to hit more with less! He licked his lips and said happily: "You all give me a fight, I spent a lot of effort to snatch this job from the old cow, if you mess up, wipe your neck yourself!" ”
There was a lot of laughter around them, and everyone was very relaxed. The team led by Ye Wuya is also the elite of the family guard, and the guys who are usually not convinced to teach the team with their noses facing the sky can grab this task this time, and everyone feels happy.
"In addition, pay attention, this is the old camp of the old return, the old camp, the old camp you all know what it means...... Gold and silver treasures, after the war, all cleaned up for Lao Tzu, and whoever moves in wartime will chop off whose claws. Ye Wuya admonished again, and then gave an order: "Go on!" ”
They crouched forward, which was a regular training, even in gravel and thorn bushes, so everyone's movements were extremely light and agile. Every ten feet or so, the crowd would stop, rest, and breathe.
It was darker in the winter, and after the night had fallen, they finally touched the edge of the stockade. The whole process took half an hour, that is, an hour, and many people's sleeves and knees were worn out, revealing bloody skin.
Ye Wuya smiled cruelly and made a gesture backwards.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and then, under the command of Ye Wuya's gestures, under the cover of night, they climbed over the low earthen fence and sneaked into the stockade.
At the place where they first set out, Yu Guozhen calmly led the horse, and also under the cover of night, they had already arrived here, which was only about two miles away from the enemy village.
The sky can also allow them to see the distance of about ten zhang, beyond this distance, there will be shadows, this is their best time.
"Get on the horse." Yu Guozhen ordered.
Behind him, sixty guards mounted their horses, and in the repeated battles with the thieves, they had captured many good horses, and they had brought them all with them today.
"Charge!" Yu Guozhen ordered again.
"Kill!" Everyone shouted in unison, and then rushed towards the thief's village.
On everyone's body, two torches were lit at the same time, and behind them, one torch was lit by the infantry left, and almost every three zhang or so, one was erected, so in the first year, outside the Golden Bull Zhu, it seemed that thousands of troops and horses appeared!
Such a movement, of course, alarmed Bai Li in the stockade, and he went up to the watchtower to take a look again, and then gasped.
He is used to fighting, and he counts people by torches, not to mention that there are 20,000 or 30,000 officers and soldiers here!
"How is this ...... How can it be? ”
The sound of galloping horses' hooves also told him that the officers and soldiers were going to attack the gate of the village with fine horses, so he didn't have much time to judge whether the scale of this officer and soldier was true or false, so he only thought about one sentence, and then shouted: "All go to the wall, all go to the ......wall, all go to the wall."
While shouting, he ran down from the watchtower, the rogues in front of him were a little flustered, he kicked one person who was blocking him, and then a little strange, why is this person's clothes gray and brown like the surrounding wilderness?
Then he didn't have it, and the man he kicked stabbed him in the stomach, and when he reacted, another knife came next to the man, directly cutting off his first performance.
"It's a thief...... The dog said, he actually kicked Lao Tzu, if it hadn't flashed, Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law would have to be widowed! ”
Ye Wuya scolded, and then shouted: "Launch!" ”
Divided into more than ten squads, all of a sudden they all began to kill thieves in their respective places and set fire, one of the squads, directly opened the gate of the wall, although there were also thieves who wanted to stop them, but everywhere was a chaos, and the thieves who blocked were directly killed. When the thieves finally put their ranks together and prepared to organize resistance, a group of figures on horses appeared in their sight.
The torches had been thrown away, and Yu Guozhen was holding in their hands a cold weapon that brought bloodshed and death.
There were indeed nearly 3,000 elites in the old camp, but the leader was killed by Ye Wuya, who came in, and they had fallen into a brief chaos, and more importantly, there were more old and weak women and children in the old camp, who were on fire on all sides and shouted everywhere "The officers and soldiers are coming" and "The 100,000 officers and soldiers of Jinling are coming", these old and weak women and children are running around like headless flies.
Moreover, the group of people made them run towards the place where their own army was assembled, and each time they broke the formation formed by their own army.
Yu Guozhen took Qi Niu and others, and chased these old and weak women and children unhurriedly, for these rogues, Yu Guozhen did not soften his heart because the other party was an old and weak woman and child - these people just have no courage and strength, but they are not lacking in cruelty and ferocity, if it were not for them, how could the rogues support until now?
This game of horseback riding and slashing lasted for an hour, and after being hacked to death as the last rogue who dared to resist, in front of Yu Guozhen, there were only thousands of old and weak people who knelt down and trembled.
"These are troubled times." Driving away the trace of sympathy and pity in his heart, Yu Guozhen looked at them calmly, and then ordered: "Wuya, how is the battlefield cleaned?" ”
Ye Wuya looked regretful: "I only received 40,000 taels of silver, this old man is really poor." ”
"It's good to have tens of thousands of taels, you arrange for someone to send it back by boat, and there is a waterway to Chaohu Lake in Jinniuzhu." Yu Guozhen laughed when he heard it, not every thief is like the dead ghost Zhang Jinjia, who blackmailed tens of thousands of taels of gold from Tailin Shouling.
"If you weren't in a hurry to leave, you could turn out 20,000 taels." Ye Wuya muttered.
"Don't lose your plane for small gains." Yu Guozhen glared at him with some dissatisfaction, this Wuya, now he is a little unprofessional, but regards scraping as his main business.
"Do you still have the strength?" After giving the order, Yu Guozhen looked at the guards who had gathered in front of him.
There were three hundred and four men with him, eleven of whom had been killed and twenty-five wounded, all of whom would have been sent back to Wuwei with the ship, and he now had two hundred and seventy men in his hands. The loss of one-tenth of the combat personnel made him very heartbroken, but he also knew that it was an inevitable thing.
Being able to defeat 20,000 enemies with 300 men is a remarkable achievement.
