Chapter 117: POV: Rose Black Wind Cottage
Rose was running in the wilderness, and under her crotch was the maroon mare, who seemed to have known Rose in a previous life, and they not only felt a kind of unity between men and horses, but also reaped indescribable happiness from each other's company. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Rose, men are often dangerous, women are mostly weak, dogs are foolish, cats are traitors, donkeys are too stubborn, pigs are too stupid, and they think about it, but only the horse is the creature that votes most of her temper.
What a beautiful and strong creature! The red horse ran and flipped its hooves, splashing countless dust, but she was so fast that she didn't seem to trample on the dirt, but on the dust and mist of the loess. Once she reached her top speed, not even the birds could catch up, and Rose had ridden her to race against the geese, and these stupid birds could not catch up with the red flames, even with all their strength!
Red Flame, that's her name, passion like fire, aggression like fire, creatures like flames, speed like flames.
Rose is lying low on the horse's back, her head is lowered, slightly lower than the horse's head, which reduces the resistance of the wind, her body is in a perfect streamline, which is more conducive to the flow of the wind, and her limbs are naturally and orderly attached to the horse's neck and abdomen, which will not only save the horse's strength, but also avoid the arrows coming from the front.
She was a self-taught rider, and although she had only been riding a horse for a few days, it was as if she had been riding a horse since she was born.
There was a clatter of horses' hooves ahead, which was dull and loud, and it was clear that the owner of the horse was quite heavy. Rose whispered to the horse, "Catch up with him!" ”
The horse accelerated, and she sped up the speed of her four-hooves in an extremely graceful posture, a change that was immediately reflected in the change in the speed of the wind around her, and Rose felt the whistling air blowing through her ears, indicating that she was at least half as fast as before.
They were fast, but it took them a few breaths to catch up with the rider in front of them, who was very fat, with a ball-like body pressed against the back of a yellow horse, like a big fat pig. The rider tried hard to control his speed and direction, but his hands and feet were too busy to communicate his intentions to the horse, so the yellow horse's eyes showed a look of confusion, apparently unable to understand what his master meant.
"Wang Tao, you are learning too slowly! Look at me, I can run fast now! Rose rode alongside Wang Tao, and she spoke with ease, not worrying that the wind would blow into her mouth.
"Big, big brother, just spare me!" Wang Tao gasped breathlessly, as if this simple horseback riding had exhausted all his strength, so he was still sweating under the cold wind in his face, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.
"I don't care about you, you go and ride by yourself, when you can talk to your horse, you will ride!" Rose didn't make fun of Wang Tao anymore, but shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, where have they gone?" ”
"Big brother, they are in front, it seems that there is Black Wind Village not far ahead!"
"Good!" Rose screamed, and rode away as fast as a bolt of lightning!
Zhang Buyi and several middle-level minds were gesturing to the cottage in the distance, and judging from their foaming and spitting ways of speaking and arguing with red faces, the discussion did not go very well.
Rose put her palm on her eyes and built a pergola, and looked at the cottage not far away. This cottage is built on a small hill, the hill is not high, but about ten zhang, there are seven or eight acres of open space on the top, and most of it is surrounded by a wall made of wood, this is a simple cottage. The wooden wall is about a foot high, and the top of the wall is made of pointed wood to make a horse-like device to prevent the enemy from climbing, and there are wooden stacks on the wall like a female wall, and the White Lotus Sect can hide behind this stack to shoot arrows, but it is difficult for the attacker to shoot the White Lotus Sect's people.
There is only one gate in the cottage, which is open at the moment, but there is a deep trench in front of the door, which is presumably filled with thistles, spikes, and the like, and once the drawbridge is pulled up, it will be difficult for the attackers to enter. There were two arrow towers above the gate, about eight feet higher than the wall, and there were two White Lotus cultists standing on them, they looked lazy and didn't look like they were awake, but if the enemy approached the cottage, they could still send a signal in time to pull up the drawbridge.
In short, the cottage is not very easy to attack. Rose heard from the high-rollers in the family that the officers and soldiers were equipped with things called catapults and cannons, which were useless for beating people, but they were very sharp against the city walls. In the face of such a wooden city wall, I am afraid that it will be smashed in a few strokes. But if there was no such thing as a trebuchet cannon, it would be estimated that hundreds of people would have died to take it.
And the horse thieves did not have trebuchet cannons, and it was impossible for them to kill and wound hundreds of people to fight a cottage.
Zhang Buyi looked up and saw Rose, and couldn't help but smile: "Little brother, you are very fast, you are really born to eat our bowl of rice!" Tell me, how are we going to fight this village? ”
They were now hidden in a small grove, obscured by unfallen leaves and sparse branches, so they could observe the enemy's defenses up close.
Zhang Buyi looked humble, as if he was sincerely seeking advice, but he seemed to be just making a show. But Rose didn't know what modesty was, so she said bluntly, "If you attack directly, you won't be able to defeat it!" ”
Lao Zhou also followed, and when he heard Rose speak like this, he immediately shouted in a weird manner: "So many scoops present haven't spoken yet, why didn't you intervene first?" Brother Zhang is giving you face, you really treat yourself as a big-tailed wolf! ”
Zhang Buyi smiled: "Lao Zhou, the little brother is a sincere person, what he said is right, we don't make things like ladders and siege towers, there is really no good way to deal with this cottage!" Although this White Lotus Sect has ruined the reputation of our 17 horse thieves in Linqing, if hundreds of people are killed and injured to fight a village, it will still be a loss! ”
As soon as he said this, someone answered, this man was very tall, but very slender, his eyes glowed coldly like poisonous snakes, and the weapon he used was a rapier that few people used, which undoubtedly made Rose wary of him. She only heard this person say: "Brother Zhang's majesty and magnificence are admired by our seventeen families, otherwise we would not have publicly recommended Big Brother as the leader of the alliance!" Now this White Lotus Sect has ruined my reputation and messed with my rules, which must be eradicated! It's just that how to fight this battle, please show the eldest brother! ”
Rose didn't speak, she had already answered her own question, and by the way, she showed her attitude, as for how these people decided to fight, it didn't really matter to her, it was a big deal that she sneaked in at night to kill a few people and ran, thinking that few people could catch her, not to mention that she had now learned to ride a horse!
Zhang Buyi's old and resolute face also showed a hint of thorniness at this moment, which showed that this heroic horse thief was also a little troubled now, so he said slowly: "Brother Ma is too much to promote me Zhang, how can I be the leader of these seventeen families?" It's just that now is the time to fight, and my old Zhang has lived a little longer and eaten a few more bowls of dry rice, so he is valued by everyone and presides over this siege! I see, this cottage can only be outwitted, not hard-hit, otherwise all of our people may not be able to beat it down! ”
Rose pursed her lips secretly, although this cloth dress is nicely spoken, but it is all car talk, you can't attack hard, you can only outwit, anyone can say this, but who can really outwit it? Thinking like this in her heart, she said directly: "Brother Zhang, I don't know if you have any way to outwit?" ”
Zhang Buyi was not stumped by her, but smiled at her generously, which made Rose feel a little unkind. Zhang Buyi said in a deep voice: "According to my meaning, brother, let's choose a few capable brothers to mix into the cottage, and then find out the structure and defense of the cottage inside, and then find a night to kill the guards, let's ambush outside and take the opportunity to grab the door!" I think this White Lotus Sect is just a group of disciples, if they bully and bully the good, and beat the family, it will not be enough for us! In addition, if we set fire on all sides at that time, they will definitely not be able to resist, so they will definitely succeed in one fell swoop! Speaking of this, he looked at Rose again: "Little brother, it's not that I'm embarrassed by Zhang Buyi, it's just that we are all strong men here, and they look like they don't get close to people, and they definitely can't fool those horse thieves, and you are young and good at martial arts, so you are really the best candidate to blend into the cottage!" After saying this, his eyes burned at Rose, and he seemed to pin his hopes on Rose.
Roses are indispensable, horizontal and vertical are killing, is it different where to kill? So she said, "It doesn't matter, since you suggested that I go in, then I'll go in." ”
Before she finished her words, she heard a horse neighing, it turned out that Wang Tao was finally late, he seemed to hear Rose's words, and immediately shouted loudly: "Big brother, you can't go!" ”
"Why can't I go?" Rose asked curiously.
"They are the White Lotus Sect!" The sweat on Wang Tao's face hadn't dried yet, he got off his horse out of breath and ran over quickly.
"What we're looking for is the White Lotus Sect, didn't you say you wanted to seek revenge on them?" Rose said and said a little angry: "You were the one who wanted to die and live and take revenge, and now you are the one who wants to die or live and won't let me go, you are a nervous person!" ”
"No, no, I mean, you're but-" Speaking of this, Wang Tao suddenly stopped, he thought for a while, and said: "This is my business, how can I let you take risks for me?" I think I'd better go! ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present burst out laughing, and Lao Zhou laughed and sneered: "Brother Wang, you avenge your parents, which we Lao Zhou admires, but first, you are a rich child at first glance, and you have been pampered since childhood, and the people of the White Lotus Sect are not blind, how can you not see it?" Second, your ability is really ordinary, when you enter the cottage, it is a trivial matter to lose your own life, if you miss a big thing, it will be to wipe out your brothers! ”
His two reasons were really irrefutable, so Wang Tao was anxious and angry, and shouted loudly: "Anyway, it's not good, my eldest brother must not enter the cottage, those disciples eat and play with women in the village every day, isn't it extremely dangerous for the eldest brother to go in?" ”
Rose didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, but just said to Zhang Buyi: "Brother Zhang, it's so decided, I'll mix into the village today, and you can show me my horse and my food!" ”
