Chapter 742: The Thoughts of Master Jinglu (Part II)

Dageng Ridge and Jiulian Mountain at the junction of Jiangxi and Guangdong, Wuyi Mountain at the border of Fujian and Jiangxi, Yanshan Mountain Range obliquely running through the northern part of southern Jiangxi, and Wanyang Mountain at the junction of Xiangyun in western Jiangxi. Together, they form the Gannan Mountains. The whole mountainous area is full of peaks, except for a few river valleys and basins. A look at the forest and mountains, non-climbing the peak, the Danya is absolutely gorgeous, that is, through the pit degree concave, the bird road sheep intestines, often walk dozens of miles and do not see the people, can also easily let people get lost in the boundless dense forest valley, is really the best shelter for robbers and gangsters.

In fact, since the large-scale entry of the official army into southern Jiangnan, the rebellious bandit army has abandoned the comfortable towns, walled houses, and retreated into the deep mountains and old forests, with their familiarity with the terrain and many eyes and ears throughout the territory, they have come and gone without a trace, not only avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the official army several times, but also launched several counterattacks, and even seriously injured Zhang Zhen, the governor of Jiangxi and Guangdong, which can not help but severely damage the morale of the officials and soldiers, and also make Lai Qinggui's prestige surpass all his peers in the history of southern Gansu. For a time, it was in the limelight, and it became three nests and seventy-two villages. A big dragon head in a word!

In a cottage one hundred and thirty miles away from Longnan County, this big dragon head was drinking with his right-hand man. That Lai Qinggui is a tower-like man, and he was born with a dignified appearance, which makes people admire him at a glance, no wonder he can make the not very promising profession of banditry so vigorous.

On his lower left, there is a sturdy man in his thirties and forties, who is also big and burly, with a full beard, half of his ears missing, and a deep scar on his eye socket, which is Li Zhen, the son of Li Wenbiao, the former leader of the dragon. Li Zhen originally planned to set up his own door, but who knew that the official army was menacing, he thought that he was not sure to resist, so he simply voted for Lai Qinggui.

Lai Qinggui has long coveted the 'black armor soldiers' under his command, which is an elite team built by Li Wenbiao with all his might, although the number is not large, but each black armor soldier can be one to ten, and has never been defeated since its completion. This pair of Lai Dalong, who is bent on getting over the emperor's addiction, is definitely an irresistible temptation.

So Li Zhen, who was accepted by Lai Qinggui with the highest specifications, not only beheaded chickens with him, burned yellow paper, and became brothers, but also let his second master step back. Give him the second chair to sit on.

And sitting opposite Li Zhen is naturally his original second master, and now the third-in-command Luan Bin, a thin middle-aged man, this person is born with fair complexion, good facial features, and polite gestures, just like a white-faced scholar, but the narrow eyes always reveal a cunning and fierce aura, obviously this person belongs to the scheming, ruthless and vicious generation.

In fact, this Luan Bin is Lai Qinggui's brother-in-law, since the day of the incident, he has given him advice and everything, but Lai Dalong's head can't leave his right hand for a moment, and he is Li Zhen's brother-in-law, it is precisely because of this relationship that he can say that Li Zhen will vote, and because of this, the three of them can get along so well.

At the moment, the three of them were drinking. While discussing the matter, I heard Luan Bin say with a sad face: "In June, the officials and soldiers brought the materials we had stored for the winter, and now the grain stocks in each village have bottomed out, and those things that shelter from the cold in winter have to be re-prepared. ”

"yes, it's really hard to live." Lai Qinggui nodded and said: "Now that the city is strictly inspected, no one dares to sell it to us if they want to buy some materials with money." ”

"Big brother, I don't like to hear this." Li Zhen vigorously tore a oily leg of mutton and shouted: "We are bandits, we have to buy things if we are missing, which makes people laugh off their big teeth." As he spoke, he ripped off a piece of meat and chewed it heavily: "What should be lacking and robbing, my father said, do it yourself, don't worry about food and clothing, this is the work of bandits......"

"Hehe......" Lai Qinggui nodded: "That's right, the brothers haven't moved for a while, and it's not okay to sit and eat." ”

"Yes." Seeing that his proposal was praised by the big leader, Li Zhen said happily: "We didn't go to rob it before, which time didn't we return with a full load?" Brother-in-law, do you say? Of course, the latter sentence is for Luan Bin.

Luan Bin took a sip of wine and said softly: "I heard that the Qi family army is also here, let's be careful." ”

"Hey, what are you afraid of, no matter how famous he is, he can come to us. I can't do the same. Besides, what did you say at the beginning? Li Zhenman said indifferently: "You said that the officers and soldiers obey the command of scholars, and when they come to those nerds, no matter how fierce the army is, it will become a waste material, so there is no need to be afraid...... That's what you say, right? Fewer words"

Luan Bin nodded, admitting that he had indeed said it.

"I heard that the new official is a hairy boy in his early twenties," Lai Qinggui also said: "The commander of the 100,000 army turned out to be a kid whose hair has not faded quickly." It can be seen how mediocre the emperor is," said a little excitedly: "The Ming Dynasty has run out of energy, and it is time for our brothers to do a career!" ”

Luan Bin also felt that he had a big grasp, and said, "Then let's go?" ”

"Let's go!" Lai Qinggui clapped his hands and said: "Let's send the little ones to find out and see if there are any fat sheep to eat!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After all, it was a home battle, and there were many eyes and ears, and three days later, Lai Qinggui got the news that a batch of military rations would be sent to Longnan County in the past few days.

"Is the news accurate?". Lai Qinggui asked in a deep voice.

Bin nodded and said, "It's news from the inside, saying that the government is busy emptying the warehouse and accepting this batch of materials." ”

"That's a lot," Lai Qinggui glared.

"Damn!" Li Zhen slapped the table and said with red eyes: "But I can suffocate grandpa." ”

"Old 2, don't go." Lai Qinggui said: "Hijack a grain truck, the third brother led a thousand brothers, and even robbed and transported." Enough is enough. ”

"Then I'll lead the team to ......," Li Zhen said: "I've been stuffy in the village all day, and everyone has grown hair." ”

Lai Qinggui didn't dare to let this daredevil, but after all, Li Zhen had just joined the gang, and he couldn't refute him too ruthlessly, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Let's let your brother-in-law lead the team, he should be careful, you will learn first this time, and you will be able to take charge of it alone in the future." ”

"That'...... All right. Li Zhen had no choice but to nod.

"Don't bring the black armor army, use a knife to kill chickens." Lai Qinggui instructed.

"Got it." Seeing that he was not the main general, Li Zhen did not plan to set off with the Black Armor Army. save others from making wedding garments.

So the three of them discussed the route, and the troops dispersed the next day.

Early the next morning, Luan Bin ordered two subordinates from the village, and together with Li Zhen, he led the team to Longnan County. One day ahead of schedule, they arrived at the Sheep Intestine Valley, where the grain trucks must pass, and the two of them hid in the dense forest in the mountains with their men - the Sheep Intestine Valley, as the name suggests, is a narrow and winding road like a sheep's intestines, which can only allow two large carts to pass, and no more can be parallel.

On the left side of the road, there is a wooded mountain, and on the right, there is also a wooded mountain, which is a good place to set up ambushes and robberies, and it has not been used for a long time...... As mentioned earlier, the mountains of southern Gan are high and densely forested, and the so-called official road is the bird road and sheep intestines that pass through the pit and the concave degree, and the mountain road stretches for nearly 200 miles, which is really a paradise for robbers. With such favorable conditions, Luan Bin never hunted in the same place, he would inspect the whole journey, find out more than ten excellent ambush points, shoot a shot to change a place, each time is not the same, so that the officers and soldiers have no way to be guarded, let alone be dumplings.

That's why they succeed time and time again.

After waiting in the mountains and forests for a day, it was almost noon, Luan Bin suddenly said, "We have to get ready, we will be here soon." ”

Li Zhen's eyes widened and said, "How do you know? ”

"I set up a message tree on the hill opposite." Luan Bin is very enthusiastic about this brother-in-law, but not because he loves the house and Wu, but because he has his own plans. He patiently explained: "The people on the top of the hill saw the convoy coming, so they put the tree down. ”

"You're so smart...... Li Zhen said happily, but she didn't think she was too stupid.

"Don't talk about useless things." Luan Bin said: "You command the men and horses on this side of the hillside, and I will go to the other side to command the other half." When a military horse comes, don't move yet, it must be their scout. And then there were the former military horses, which were also spared. and his baggage shall be ...... behind."

"And then rob the fuck?" Li Zhen said excitedly.

Bin shook his head and said: "Let it go too, and when the rear army appears, you will attack again, don't care about those baggage trucks, and pounce on them with the biggest and most ferocious momentum." ”

"I'm good at this, hehe......" Li Zhen rubbed his hands and said, "Then kill them cleanly." ”

"Don't kill." Luan Bin shook his head again and said: "After driving them away, he immediately turned to the front and rushed the frightened people to the front army. He said with a smile: "In the event of an ambush, thousands of pounds of baggage trucks are throwing goods, let's drive people away, and then come back to clean up the battlefield." ”

"Yes, I like ......" Li Zhen said happily: "Brother-in-law, you are really insidious!" ”

"It's called stratagem, not insidious." Luan Bin's face froze, and he instructed: "Be careful later, the sword has no eyes, but don't be reckless." ”

"Don't worry," Li Zhenman said indifferently, "The arrow that can hurt me hasn't been made yet." ”

"Don't be careless." Luan Bin said uneasily: "Otherwise, your sister will have to eat me." ”

"Be careful with yourself." Li Zhen said with a grin: "Don't let my sister be a widow." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, it was said that the two of them had waited for a long time before they saw smoke and dust rise in the distance, and then several officers and soldiers wearing red cotton armor rode over from the crossing, looking around boredly while talking and laughing unscrupulously. It didn't seem to be aware of the ambush a few feet away.

Luan Bin couldn't help but be secretly complacent, only an expert like himself could take into account every place that might be exposed, and even the grass that he stepped on ordered someone to help him up along the direction of the wind, and only in this way could the other party's scouts not be seen from a few feet apart.

When the scout passed through this valley of sheep's intestines, he blew the bamboo whistle, and after three long and two short whistles, the rumbling brigade drove over. As Luan Bin expected, hundreds of officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns, led by several horse officers, came from the crossing. He could even hear an officer say, "This one is too narrow, let's work harder in the back, and hurry over to talk about it." ”

'Can't get by...... Luan Bin said secretly proudly.

Because of the narrow road, in order to allow the grain truck to pass smoothly, except for the 500 soldiers after the break, the rest of the escort officers and soldiers all passed through first and waited at the exit. The people didn't need to urge, they pulled forward and pushed back, and the grain trucks lined up in a line drove out of the sheep intestine valley one by one.

"A whole hundred cars......" Luan Bin and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed, they could be used for a month.

He was happy to make a fortune here, but Li Zhen over there couldn't wait to kill, and as soon as he saw the rear army entering the valley, he shouted: "Kill......" and was the first to rush out. The guards around him were all his father's old subordinates, lest he have three longs and two shorts, so he hurriedly rushed down. Seeing that so many people had rushed, the rest of the bandits also rushed down, and the attack began.

"Hurry up fart......" Luan Bin thought that he was too early, if he was a little late, let the official army enter the valley and attack again, it would definitely cause a lot of damage, and it would be able to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Ming army. But at this time, there was no time to complain, so I could only wave my army to kill.

Of course, Luan Bin didn't charge in person, he stood on a boulder in the mountains, watched the situation change in the Sheep Intestine Valley, and saw that the frightened Ming army behind the palace had been chased away by Li Zhen without a trace, but Li Zhen also chased without a trace. Luan Bin sighed secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, take my words as a deaf ear...... Fortunately, he didn't count on Li Zhen, as long as his five hundred people could rush up, no matter what the number of officers and soldiers was, they would definitely be defeated.

Luan Bin's subordinates did not run blindly with Li Zhen, but rushed to the baggage convoy, frightening the people who were pushing the cart and running forward, just blocking the route of the front army's reinforcements.

It was finished. Luan Bin couldn't help but feel relieved, according to experience, the front army should also retreat immediately, and then the robbery was successful, and he went home with the spoils.

'Wait......' Luan Bin's pupils shrank suddenly, because he saw an unexpected scene--he saw that the Ming troops were not scattered, but retreated to both sides of the mountain road, vacating the passage for the people to pass.

"What's the situation?" Luan Bin was frightened, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The hunch was correct, when Luan Bin's subordinates chased in front of the Ming army, the people had all run out, and what was waiting for them was the Ming soldiers who were waiting for them.

Yes, absolutely not panicked, and not rushed. Because the resolute eyes and the strict formation have already explained everything. I saw the Ming army in a group of five people in formation, a soldier holding a long iron fence, and a shield hand side by side, forming the first line of defense, two pikemen followed, and a short knife hand broke off, if these mountain bandits knew the goods, they would definitely exclaim: 'Five Elements Array'!

Yes, it was Qi Jiguang who improved the Mandarin Duck Formation, the Five Elements Formation that was suitable for fighting in narrow areas.

It's a pity that if they were literate, they wouldn't have made a career out of this high-risk, insecure trade, just as the so-called ignorant are fearless, and the bandits are holding their blades high and screaming and rushing towards the Five Elements Array that terrifies countless Japanese bandits!

The combat effectiveness of the bandits is inferior to that of the robbers, and the results can be imagined...... They wielded their weapons, but found that they could neither attack nor defend - as soon as they were caught by the 'big iron fence', the spear would be pierced in an instant, and then there were many holes in their bodies, and they could rush to reincarnation.

As a result, it didn't take long for the ground to fall......

It's like rushing to a flower girl, only to find out that the other party is a blue-faced and fanged dominatrix, and the bandits who want to take advantage of it can't bear the huge gap, so they decide to run away.

But the Ming army changed formation again, and the 'Iron Fence' quickly stepped forward, overtaking all his companions, and stood at the front of the line, with two pikemen following him closely, and the shield hand and the dagger standing on the pikemen's flank, protecting their flanks. So the soldiers, led by the 'iron fences', launched a pursuit.

This is called the Sancai Formation, which is also born from the Mandarin Duck Formation, which is suitable for pursuit or charging.

Luan Bin stood on top of the boulder, watching the situation reverse in an instant, and the blood in his body was about to flow backwards, and the sky was spinning for a while, if it wasn't for the help of the people on the side, he would have to roll down the mountain.

But the tragedy is far from over, in fact, just at the beginning, Luan Bin saw Li Zhenbu, who should have chased after him, and also lost his armor and ran back. The two defeated soldiers were running into the valley of the sheep's intestines, and there were already so many baggage carts parked in the valley, which blocked the other party to death.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

"Dodge, dodge......" If they hadn't all watched the pursuers behind them arrive, the two bandits might have to fight.

"Get on your knees and raise your hands!" At the same time, as the lids were opened, some Ming soldiers holding three-eyed firearms appeared in the carriage, and the valley suddenly sounded a dense "Don't move!" "Don't move!" Voices.

"It's over...... It's completely over......" Luan Bin's legs weakened and knelt on the ground.

The bandits were not only wrapped in dumplings but also stuffed in the battlefield they chose, and it is estimated that none of them will be able to escape.

But when he saw the clay pots behind him...... It was used by the bandits to fetch water, and Luan Bin suddenly came up with an idea.
