Chapter 284: Everything is ready
Although it was clear that Zhao Xiaoxi had a perfect plan, Duan Yu and the others still didn't understand. Why did Zhao Xiaoxi choose to camp in the wilderness instead of staying in a town near the official road, which was more convenient for counterattack.
Zhao Xiaoxi added some supplies from the nearby town, and the group soon returned to the official road. After traveling a long way, Zhao Xiaoxi finally chose a small valley that was conducive to defense and prepared to camp and rest.
Although this small valley does not have the river where we camped last night, it does have a few springs, which are sufficient for cooking and washing. After personally inspecting the terrain here, Cho Hyo-seok quickly decided to set up camp again.
Seeing that Wu Wei began to set up the tent, Duan Yu was still a little worried and said, "Fourth brother, although this valley is easy to defend. But we now have a total of less than 100 people, and if the other party attacks in a big way, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it! ”
At first, when Duan Yu saw the Tianwei leaving, he thought that the other party would move reinforcements. As a result, about an hour after their journey, the Tianwei returned to the group. Although there were twenty or thirty more people, the total number was less than a hundred.
Such a team, if it encounters thousands of horse bandits, it is not enough to see. Once the opponent's cavalry is allowed to attack, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which is undoubtedly something that Duan Yu does not want to see.
Regarding the worry in Duan Yu's eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi said confidently: "Third brother, you can rest assured." The evening is still the same as yesterday, you just have to stay in the camp. I'll take care of the outside thing! ”
Speaking Zhao Hyo-seok was very mysterious and didn't explain much. If it weren't clear, Zhao Xiaoxi wouldn't harm him, and Duan Yu would definitely choose to stay in a nearby town while there was still daylight. That's it. Security is undoubtedly more secure.
After selling a small pass, Zhao Xiaoxi brought Ah Zi over again. He said very directly: "Ah Zi, do you have any medicine on your body that is not fatal, but can cause diarrhea in people or horses?" Don't tell me you didn't bring it! ”
Ah Zi, who was called by Zhao Xiaoxi, felt very curious at first and didn't understand this brother-in-law. Why did you call her out alone. Now that he suddenly heard him ask himself about poison, Ah Zi thought he had heard it wrong.
As a result, seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi was not joking, he quickly twisted and said, "Brother-in-law, don't you hate me for playing with poison?" ”
Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said about this: "I asked you for a laxative, not a poison." Besides, I didn't say that you should not carry these poisons with you. Just remember to make good use of these things.
If the poison is used to kill horse thieves or bandits. I'm certainly not going to stop you. You can use these poisons to hurt some good people. Let me know that I'm going to slap your ass swollen. Alright, get the medicine out! ”
Facing this girl who seems to be very honest in front of herself. It's been good for a while, and it's a little girly. Thinking about this time, she lived a very nourishing life in Dali.
Although Ah Zi grew up in the Star Sect, he is still kind-hearted. As the threat around him is lifted. As the princess of Dali, she also has someone to serve and protect. This plays with poison. It has also become a hobby and hobby for her.
This trip, as a person who has walked through the rivers and lakes and understands the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. Her kung fu in fists and feet is similar to that of her little sister Zhao Ming. Ordinary little bandits, one-on-one shouldn't be a problem. But on horseback, neither of them is an opponent.
Of course. If Ah Zi is allowed to use poison magic, the horse bandit who provokes her will definitely be worse than dead. Bringing some poison for self-defense is also a must. This kind of means of self-preservation, it is impossible for Ah Zi to come out without it.
In addition, Ah Zi came out this time, although the clothes were much more gorgeous than before. But she habitually likes to wear clothes with many pockets. It even made her the same as the disciples of the beggar gang, with a lot of pockets of various colors.
Although no one went through what she had in these pockets, Zhao Xiaoxi knew very well that these pockets were inside. In addition to the poison she is good at, there are some emergency antidotes, and there is nothing else to hold.
Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi's threat of spanking again, Ah Zi also blushed and said, "Brother-in-law, how can you scare people like this?" If you want to spank me again, I'll sue Xiao Yu and Sister Qing, saying that you are insulting me? ”
Facing the fear in Ah Zi's eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, hurry up and give me the medicine, your hairy brother-in-law is not interested yet." insulting you, do you think Qing'er and they will believe it? ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's playful eyes, Ah Zi seemed to be stimulated by Mao Yatou's evaluation, and immediately retorted: "Hmph, people are just younger." Sister Ling is as big as me, how can she pay me back? ”
After finishing speaking, he straightened his small chest, but when this kind of subconscious action was made, Ah Zi suddenly realized it. This kind of behavior seems to be a little inappropriate, this brother-in-law in front of him is a man!
What made her ashamed and angry was that Zhao Xiaoxi seemed to be really looking at her, and the bud on her chest was worthy of grasping. Feeling a little unbearable to this kind of vision, she could only quickly take out a few packets of prepared laxatives.
Handed it to Zhao Xiaoxi's hand, he quickly said: "This is a laxative specially prepared by me, as long as it is sprinkled on grass or water." Regardless of whether it is a human or an animal, if you eat it, you will have diarrhea for half an hour.
If I make a secret antidote, I will have diarrhea to death after a long time. These packets of laxatives are enough to pour thousands of people and people! Remember, that's what you asked me for! Don't scold me next time! ”
briefly talked about the effects of these laxatives, and Ah Zi also mentioned some conditions by the way. However, without waiting for Cho Hyo-seok to answer, he was as red as a frightened deer, and returned to the camp to ignore Cho Hyo-seok.
With these laxatives in hand, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly brought in several guards who were in charge of patrolling. Tell them to sprinkle these laxatives on the grass and streams in front of the valley where they can take shelter.
Those places, in Zhao Xiaoxi's opinion, if these horse bandits are going to sneak attack at night. Will definitely choose to take shelter in these few places. Find the right moment to launch a surprise attack on them. As long as you stay here, you will definitely be recruited.
Secondly, when Duan Yu and the others were in charge of preparing dinner, Zhao Xiaoxi only set up a few lurking posts outside. Soon he took the returning Tianwei and carried a few large bags to the outside of the valley, a place suitable for cavalry charges.
Because it was far away, Duan Yu and the others didn't know what Zhao Xiaoxi was going to do with these people. However, it didn't take long for Cho Hyo-seok to return to the camp, mentioning that the bag outside had also become empty.
After doing these things, Zhao Xiaoxi simply set up a few horse-rejection piles outside the camp. Vacated the only place they could rush out, and it was a small hill that was good for defense.
If the horse bandits want to break through from here, they must withstand the arrow attacks of the guards who occupy the high ground. You must know that the dozens of military guards who joined behind each carried a strong arrow on their backs. As for the number of iron arrows, they brought at least a thousand bundles.
When these defensive measures were properly arranged, Zhao Xiaoxi, who smelled the smell of rice, quickly led Wuwei to eat. Watch as the sun begins to slowly set, the night begins to slowly cover the earth, and a bright moon is also quietly rising.
Although there was moonlight, Zhao Xiaoxi still took Wu Wei with him after eating. Pile some firewood in front of the camp and start lighting it up so that the camp can see farther.
As for the rear of the camp, there was a steep slope that could barely accommodate horses. In order to ensure the safety of the rear, Zhao Xiaoxi also sent several additional archers to defend from a high position.
If there is a lack of horses to travel, they want to rush up this hill and attack Zhao Xiaoxi and his party from the rear. It is almost impossible, and it is precisely because of the favorable terrain here that Cho Hyo-seok chose to set up camp here.
After dinner, it was clear to everyone that the night would not be too peaceful. But Zhao Xiaoxi didn't have anything to do, except for sending a few military guards to inquire about the news from time to time, the rest of the people all went into the tent to rest and wait.
knew that someone must have attacked at night, and even Zhong Ling, who was a little rough in his heart, was in no mood to rest. insisted on sleeping with Mu Wanqing and other girls, relying on Zhao Xiaoxi's side, and accompanying him to sit in front of the fire in the camp to roast the fire.
Until a military guard who went out on patrol came back and reported the news to Zhao Xiaoxi. Zhao Xiaoxi quickly asked all the Wu Wei and Duan Yu and others who couldn't sleep to return to the tents, and even extinguished the fires in several camps.
If anyone was outside at the moment, they would find nothing but a few guards who roamed the camp from time to time. The whole camp is very quiet. It gives people the feeling that Zhao Xiaoxi and others rushed for a day and really rested quickly.
Only those who entered the tent knew that they were all squatting in the tent at the moment, waiting for the moment when the order was given. Rushed out of the camp and came to their respective combat posts. And Duan Yu followed the line of guards, more to sit in the camp.
Of course, they also have a mission, which is to be understaffed. Responsible for support, archers on the high ground behind the camp. It's just that this kind of support, it's not very likely to think about it, horse bandits don't rob on horseback, what are horse bandits called?
Maybe it's to avoid suspicion, or to give Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhong Ling some private space. Wang Yuyan took the initiative to take Zhao Yu and Ah Zi to another tent to rest. And Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, the three of them entered another tent.
Looking at the two women on the left and the right, his eyes seemed to be a little nervous, but Zhao Xiaoxi felt it. If you didn't know that there was an enemy outside, this would be a very rare opportunity! These guys are really bad for his interest.
But even so, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that these horse bandits were going to attack. I think it will wait until the dead of night, and this time is not the best time to launch a night attack. Those guards are still in full spirits at the moment?
What's more, they are also galloping all the way, so they have to take a break and catch their breath. After meeting the other bandits, let's discuss how to distribute this big fat sheep delivered to the door! (To be continued......)
