"Big brother, big brother, it's not good, grandpa. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½γγγ Grandpa asked me to tell you, Sister Honggu... With people, with people to the water village againγγγγγγ A tiger-headed teenager rushed into the yard, sweating profusely.
Everyone turned around and looked at the little guy. Yang Ke recognized at a glance that it was the young man who accompanied him to eat grilled fish and finally gave him a dagger.
"Little brother, don't worry, drink your saliva and speak slowly." Hei Qi handed the young man a glass of water, the young man took it, drank it in one go, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a breath: "Sister Honggu gathered the people of the whole village early in the morning to attack Chang San's water village to save people, grandpa can't stop him, grandpa asked me to hurry up and tell you, saying that you can stop him." β
"Are they on the waterway or on the dry road?" Yang Ke asked.
"Walking on a dry road, passing through the trail in the back mountains."
"How long have you been gone?"
"Just left."
"Do you know the road?"
"Acquaintance."
Yang Ke and the young man asked and answered, and immediately made a decision, and ordered his subordinates: "Everyone bring weapons and crossbows, and set off immediately." Everyone responded to the order, went back to their rooms one after another, and each stepped up their preparations.
"What's your name?" Yang Ke touched the young man's head and asked.
The boy said, "My name is Mountain Dog." β
Yang Ke couldn't help but smile: "Okay, mountain dog, you show us the way, okay?" β
The young man nodded excitedly: "Okay, okayγγγγγγ β
Yang Ke and his entourage of more than 20 people hurried under the leadership of the mountain dog, did not dare to stop for a moment, climbed all the way from the intestinal trail in the back mountain, although the mountain dog was young, but obviously a peasant child who was used to boiling, the speed was not slow at all, while leading the way, he also introduced Yang Ke to the road of Zhuangzi: "We Zhuangzi have two roads to go out, one is to take the waterway, down the river." There is also this mountain road, except for the people in the caravan, Sister Honggu does not allow the people in the Zhuangzi to go out, and generally no one knows how to go. Grandpa was a caravan man, so he knew about these two roads. β
"And how do you know the way?" Yang Ke asked.
The mountain dog laughed and said, "I haven't walked on the water road either. In order to treat me, my grandfather took me from the upland rice to the mountains for treatment, so I knew about this road. β
"Mountain dog, let's work harder, we must stop Sister Honggu, you can still stand it, right?"
The mountain dog responded crisply: "Big brother, I can do it, don't worry." β
When a group of people ran and ran, hurried out of the mountains and mountains that covered the sky and the sun, and there were no people, the night was already dark, and only a few lights were seen in the distance, and it was pitch black all around, except for the insects and beasts, there was no sound, and they still couldn't catch up with Honggu and his party, Hei Qi carefully looked around with a torch, and said to Yang Ke: "Master Hou, look at the traces on the ground, Honggu and they went to the east." β
Yang Ke looked far away, and the direction to the east was an open field, dark and dull without any light, and he couldn't help but hang in his heart: "Honggu, they are familiar with the road, and they are used to this road, we still can't catch up with them, and there is no light of torches in front of them, so it is impossible not to light torches at night, so I estimate that they will go out of the mountain at least half an hour earlier than us." β
"Then what should I do, big brother, after I get out of the mountain, I don't know the way to Shuizhai." The mountain dog said anxiously.
Yang Ke whispered a few words to Liu Siniang, Liu Siniang looked at the mountain dog, nodded frequently, and then said to the mountain dog: "Little brother, we have been on the road in the middle of the night, and our stomachs are hungry, I will send a brother to go with you to the Zhuangzi in front to get some food, do you dare?" β
The mountain dog puffed up his chest, as if he was afraid of being looked down upon, touched the dagger on his waist that did not leave his body for a moment, and said loudly: "Of course I dare." β
Liu Siniang nodded: "Okay, you go with this brother." After that, he whispered something to a pro-soldier beside him, and the pro-soldier's face changed slightly, and then he nodded helplessly, and beckoned to the mountain dog: "Go, little brother, let's go to the Zhuangzi in front together." β
The mountain dog followed the pro-soldier out of the mountain pass, excited to receive a new mission, but in fact, Yang Ke sent a pro-army to support the mountain dog, and then return to Zhuangzi after the group left. It is dangerous to continue to take him to the water village, so let him return alone, first, he is afraid that the mountain dogs will not do it, and second, the mountains in the night are afraid that there will be wild beasts infested and it is not safe, so he left a pro-army responsible for escorting him, but the pro-army could not follow Yang Ke and others, and he was unwilling. However, the pro-army has always been like a mountain, so although he was unwilling, he still accepted the order without hesitation.
Looking at the figures of the two in the distance, Yang Ke gave an order, and everyone held torches and plunged into the vast night.
"Master Hou, I heard the sound of fighting. It's only two or three miles away. The stuffy gourd leaned over the ground and listened quietly for a moment, then stood up and said to Yang Ke with certainty. He was born in the green forest at the same time as Hei Qi, and he was used to the night road, and he had a rich set of tracking skills, and he also lost his way to the dark, and he could still follow the traces of Honggu and others, and he didn't lose it.
"Hurry again after extinguishing the torch, without my order, everyone should not act rashly." Yang Ke ordered, and after everyone poked and extinguished the torches on the muddy ground, they sped up and galloped all the way under the leadership of the stuffy gourd.
In the distance, the gate of the village built by the water was wide open, and there were fires everywhere, and the sound of blade collision and screams was endless, only to see dense figures running back and forth, but they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, Yang Ke said in a low voice: "Adjust your breathing and recover your strength." β
The crowd stopped, gasping for air. Although everyone is a martial arts practitioner and has abundant physical strength, they have been marching all the way in the middle of the night, and their physical strength is obviously overdrawn, although they are very anxious, but joining the war group like this is tantamount to asking for their own death, they have stopped, adjusted their breath, and made preparations.
Yang Ke looked far away, although he had been to this water village last time, but he was looking at it in the river, and at this moment he observed it closely, only to find that the water village was like an iron bucket, surrounded by a tall wall, and there was only one road leading to the wharf near the river, and there were only hundreds of boats docked on the wharf. And the gate of the village was wide open, and there was not even a guard on the wall, and he secretly complained in his heart: "Shuizhai caught the clansmen of Honggu, it must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, waiting for her to take the bait again and lay a trap, otherwise, how could the gate be negligent in guarding against it, and there is no one to defend it?" β
"Master Hou, what should I do?" Everyone looked at Yang Ke nervously, there were many people in the water village, even if Honggu and they poured out, they were only one hundred and ten men, and they were encircled by the other party, so they were naturally in danger, and if they delayed for a while, they would be wiped out, and they were anxious, and they all looked at Yang Ke with blank eyes, waiting for him to give orders.
Yang Ke's brain was spinning rapidly, he looked at the dark dock and the stockade in the melee, gritted his teeth and said, "This battle must be won completely, otherwise we will not be able to retreat with the wounded soldiers." As Yang Ke said, in addition to victory, running away is tantamount to self-defeating, but after all, the other party is a group of thousands of people, although they are all men who lick blood on the battlefield, they can't help but be a little nervous in their hearts.
"Brothers, everyone obeys my command, as long as you win by surprise, you can still be sure of exterminating this rabble." Yang Ke looked at his subordinates with blazing eyes, and in the darkness, everyone couldn't see his expression clearly, but from Yang Ke's extremely firm tone, everyone felt that the blood began to boil.
