Chapter 42: Catching the Scorpion

The morale dropped to the extreme in the camp of the bandits, and the scorpion finally gave the order to gather his men and horses, retreat deep into the mountains, and find a new habitat.

Of course, Yang Lin would not let them get their way, and the five hundred water army was divided into two groups by him, a group of four hundred people, led by Zhang Long to be responsible for the defense, and he himself let Zhao Hu take one hundred of the strongest soldiers out of the Tunliang Cave to block the scorpions. Since then, the bandit army led by the scorpion began to be difficult to walk in the mountains, Yanglin is expected to have a telescope, and can always know the direction of the bandit army in advance, and the hundred-person team he led can go around to the front in advance to arrange the trap of the trap, and after walking down in a day, the scorpion found that the number of people and horses who died under the trap of the organ was as high as 100 people, and then he was completely cold, he originally thought that success was so close to him, but in fact it was so far away.

"There is no endless road, as long as we have walked through this area, we will definitely be able to get rid of the entanglement of the monkey army." The scorpion naturally thought that this qiē was done by the monkey army, but he didn't want Yang Lin to draw a bigger trap for him.

On the way of the scorpion, Yanglin found a huge cave, called the Lion's Mouth Cave, the entrance of the cave is in the recess of the mountain, the entrance of the cave is slightly upward, as if a lion's head with a big mouth roaring, above the entrance of the cave is a low mountain wall, Yanglin entered the cave and carefully checked it, and found that there were traces of people living and staying in it, and it is expected that the scorpion who is familiar with the nearby geographical environment will definitely camp in the cave at night to rest, since it was discovered half a day in advance, it is natural to have a good life and plan.

First of all, he asked a large number of people to go to the mountain wall to find firewood and grass, in the mountain to see the blind corner of the place as much as possible, in autumn and winter, the most in the mountain is dry branches and leaves, not difficult to find, a moment is a lot, and then he ordered a few people to use soil to fill in the cave with some clear water pool, after carefully checking the situation on both sides, Yang Lin felt that there was no problem, so he took everyone up to the mountain wall.

"Little fairy, what kind of plan are yours? Fill up the pool in the cave, pile up a large pile of grass on the top of the mountain, and let two or three thousand bandits be captured? Wang Erniu carefully pinched Yanglin's feet on the firewood and grass pile, the little fairy was full of wisdom in his eyes, in fact, Yanglin had been in his back basket, and he hadn't walked a few steps at all, but he was afraid that Yanglin would be tired.

"Or say that you are stupid and I am a little fairy who is like a god, with their footsteps, it is extremely difficult to get here before dark, when they come to the familiar cave, they will definitely run in to find a comfortable place to rest as soon as possible, and we have been ambushed for two days, they have been worried, they will definitely think that the cave with support on all sides is the safest, and everything will be fine if we set these firewood and grass on fire at this time, guess what will happen?" Yang Lin sold a pass.

"Of course, it will continue to burn at the entrance of the cave at the bottom of the mountain! But little fairy, there seems to be a loophole in your plan! Firewood burns at the entrance of the cave, and the bandits hide in the cave, and the fire can't burn them! Wang Erniu thought about it carefully, seemed to feel that he was smart, and said excitedly.

"Either you are stupid and I am a little fairy who knows things like a god, in the fire, it is never fire that kills people, it is smoke." Yang Lin gave Wang Erniu a hard scoop on his forehead, for this kind of technical thing, Yang Lin wanted him to have a good memory.

Autumn and winter dew cold, these dry firewood that is exposed to the sun during the day will be stained with dew at night, if it is in the morning, it will be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, of course, Yang Lin will not wait until the morning to light the fire, he only needs to take away the surface of a layer of dew-stained firewood and grass in the second half of the night when the bandits are asleep, light the dry firewood and grass below and push it down, and then push the semi-wet firewood and grass down, then the direction of the cave must be a fire and smoke, and the notch-shaped cave will let all the smoke flow into the cave, As a result, the whole cave will not be able to discern the direction under the thick smoke, and if there is a person who reacts quickly and jumps out at the risk of slight burns at the beginning of the fire, it will be fine, and if he hesitates, he will no longer have any health.

Sure enough, when the hundred-man team of Yanglin ate a meal of game and was ready to fall asleep, the scorpion came with a brigade of bandits, and they checked around the entrance of the cave and led people into the cave.

The environment of the cave has not changed much, but the original small pond with some stagnant water does not know who filled it with mud, if you want to find water, you must go outside the cave, the cave is warm, the bandits eat some dry food at will and begin to fall asleep, some are thirsty, just take their own kettle to the nearby mountain stream to fill a pot of water, and after nightfall, except for a few people who stay at the entrance of the cave are dozing drowsy, the people in the cave are sleeping and snoring.

At three o'clock in the morning, Yanglin's electronic watch rang 'Didi', and Yanglin, who buried himself tightly with hay, turned off the alarm clock on the electronic watch and began to shout the sailors in the haystack who were asleep one by one.

"Zhao Hu, clean up the firewood wet with dew to the side, and pile up the dry firewood and grass on the edge of the cliff for me, it's best to push it all down at once."

For Yanglin's order, the honest and honest Zhao Hu completed it to the letter, as Zhang Long's deputy general, he is very competent, he is the kind of hard-working, hard-working person, when the firewood and grass were piled up into a steep hill by one hundred and ten people, Yanglin used a lighter to ignite the entire firewood and grass pile at the bottom.

"Push it down with a stick, then throw all the wet wood down, and when it's done, we'll go down the mountain and count the loot." Yang Lin in the whole operation task is to ignite the fire, and move his mouth, after moving his mouth, he climbed into Wang Erniu's back basket, walking the mountain road, he believes in Wang Erniu more than he believes in himself.

When the cave guards who were still asleep with their heads on the stones were awake, a large pile of burning firewood had already blocked the hole tightly, and from time to time there were still a lot of firewood falling from the cliff and pulling, and suddenly the whole cave began to roll dust.

"What's the situation?"

The more awakened scorpion jumped out of the cave as soon as it opened its eyes, and knew that this was another trick of the monkey army, but fortunately, the cave was big enough, and the smoke temporarily added to the cave.

"Wake everyone up and rush out."

The scorpion's character is naturally not hesitant, the situation outside is not clear, he must rush out first to deal with the situation, only to see his sturdy body jump into the air violently, and the body will shoot out of the hole in a circle at a very fast speed, until the hole is a few feet away He did not land, and quickly fell to the ground, a few rolls to extinguish the fire that had been burning on the body.

"Who, who, has the ability to come out and fight."

The roar of the scorpion echoed in the night sky, of course he knew that there were probably people on the mountain wall, but he did not have the ability to jump hundreds of feet high, that is something that the gods can only do by flying through the clouds, the people on the mountain wall ignored him, untied the belt of his pants and sprinkled a soak of urine on the fire of Zhengwang and turned away, such a prank is the inevitable means of the navy now, that is, to kill the scorpion.

Yang Lin led the men and horses around the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain, he did not believe that the scorpion could get close to himself holding a shotgun under the bows and arrows of a hundred archers, and at the same time he also estimated the time it would take for the firewood and grass to burn, with their speed, when they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the firewood and grass should not have been burned.

"Scorpion, let's take it! There is no way that a stupid person like you will succeed in a rebellion. The red beam reappeared, and the scorpion that had been in a hurry to save the fire for a long time could not avoid the infrared strafing on the ground, and in the end, the scorpion, which really had no strength to jump anymore, had to give up resistance and let the red beam be aimed at the big golden scorpion on his forehead.

"What kind of demon are you, my scorpion is not willing to lose to anyone, if you lose to the demon, even if you are unwilling, you have to be willing." There was not much blood on the scorpion's face, and the vigorous exercise just now had torn his wounds, and at this moment he had already sprouted a little will to die.

"I'm just a smarter person in Datang, you can't figure out why I have these endless means because you are stupid, I heard that you are the king of the dark night in Chang'an City, and the bandits and bandits of the three mountains and five mountains give you some face, if you choose to surrender now, I may be able to spare your life." Yanglin is reluctant to kill too many people from the heart, especially the Han people of the Tang Dynasty, the scorpion in front of him is a very useful person, if it is subdued, it will play a certain deterrent role for some forces that cannot be controlled by the imperial court, and if it is necessary to subdue those forces in the future, it can be of great use, so Yanglin wants to threaten the nearly 3,000 lives in the cave to force the scorpion, if the scorpion does not even care about the lives of the three thousand brothers who follow him, then, for this kind of ruthless person, Yang Lin didn't mind pulling the trigger in his hand.

"I surrender, do you dare to accept it? If I surrender, will Li Shimin let me go? I had no way out. The scorpion's will to die was even stronger, and Yang Lin had even thought that he might plunge into the fire and not let anyone take off his arrogant mask.

"Of course I dare, there is nothing in this world that I dare not do, as for the mind of Majesty, it is beyond the imagination of a stupid person like you, I bet that Majesty will not only not kill you, but may also reuse you." Yang Lin's tone is heroic, and only such a heroic tone can pull a person back who is determined to live and die.

"You, why? Me, am I really stupid? "For the first time, the scorpion began to doubt his IQ, of course, with his cleverness, although he can't be regarded as the top, he can also be regarded as the best among the Tang people, but compared with Yang Lin, a later generation, it is really not easy to compare.

"Of course you are stupid, stupid to joke about the rations of millions of people in Datang, stupid to plot rebellion with a group of illiterate mountain bandits, stupid to lead thousands of bandits to live in a cave without any vents, and even stupid not to surrender to me until now, you know? The more hesitation or self-doubt you have, the more likely your brothers in the cave will be smoked to death, and you yourself will say that you are stupid or not. ”

Yang Lin's series of questioning scolding made the scorpion speechless, and his mind was completely confused, could it be that all his actions were stupid? That's why you failed? Is it because I'm too stupid or because the other party is too smart, messed up, completely messed up.
