Chapter 29: The Attack (4)
I pointed to a gorge to the west, and at the end of the gorge was a mountain five or six hundred meters high, with a flat peak. The tall wall of the tiger is red in the reflection of the setting sun: "The tiger and Xiping village are separated by such a tiger gorge, as long as Xiping Village asks for help at night, hundreds of strong tigers come from the gorge is very fast." The high mountains on both sides of this gorge are controlled by the clamps set up by the tigers, and it is very convenient to come and go. Do you still think this Xiping Village is easy to fight now? ”
Zhuang Jin bowed his head and was silent. Mu Wanqing asked me strangely: "Since you are not going to fight this village, what are we going to do?" We've just eaten all the food, how will we live tomorrow? ”
At the moment, this is indeed a big problem, don't look at the so-called independent cavalry team that I have established, but there is no reserve at all, and the morale of the army is actually very unstable. If we don't win the battle right away, it's a cheap thing for these dozens of people to kill us in the water.
I didn't speak, just frowned and looked at the terrain carefully with Yu Lang, over and over again. Yu Lang seemed to be thinking about it in his heart, and suddenly shook his head and said, "The troops are not enough." He pondered for a moment: "If Zhang Yao and their team are here, they will have a lot of certainty." ”
I looked at him and smiled: "There is a mental calculation or no intention, and these subordinates are all old and old, and they have survival pressure." It's not without chance. As you saw just now, the clips on the mountains on both sides of the gorge are full of rolling logs and rocks, and maybe there is fire oil or something, which can just come in handy. I paused, and said mysteriously: "In case something is wrong, it is up to your brother to protect the two of us, and how far to escape." ”
Yu Lang looked at me: "I'm a rough man, what do you have to do, just do it, Yu Laozi's fortune is sold to you." I've also seen these subordinates, they are all outlaws who crawled out of the dead, and there is no tomorrow today. If you can take them to a few good battles, your life will be sold to you. ”
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I didn't expect that I would take people to kill people when I drove ducks to the shelves............ I really can't say anything in my heart............ Let's not talk about this for now, I'll tell you about it now, and the two of us will think about it. ”
After settling in, I waited for it to get dark. Yu Lang and several platoon commanders were surprised when they heard my arrangement. But these people haven't fought any battles, and now they're like rogues. What do you care about, but silently accept the order to arrange.
I stayed there silently, I didn't belong to this world, but now I have somehow become the leader of the gangsters, and I have to take them to kill people and rob people. What exactly is my goal? If I came to the north because of my responsibility to Shen Qingfeng and the others, what am I doing now?
At this time, I miss the days when I was a common man in a peaceful and secular society.
My face was cold, and Mu Wanqing's cold little hand stroked my face. I looked up at her blankly. I saw that her eyes were as bright as morning stars, and they were full of concern. This little girl showed me a trace of tenderness at this time: "What are you worried about?" Feeling unhappy? ”
I shook my head vigorously, "I don't know what I'm doing right now. Mu Wanqing looked at me silently and said in a low voice: "You are trying hard to keep yourself alive, you haven't done anything wrong." ”
"In order to survive, can I take these people to kill people and set fires? The people I'm going to deal with today are all ordinary people! If I go to fight Mongolian Tatars, my heart will be very calm, what is the current thing to do? Although I tried hard, I had already surrendered to Mongolia to convince myself. But the more this happens, the more I feel that I don't know what to do! ”
I looked at Mu Wanqing fixedly: "Sister Wan, why don't we care about anything, just run away, the two of us support each other, how can we get to Zhongjing Mansion, and then hurry back to Jiangnan, and then don't come to the north again?" ”
Mu Wanqing listened to my words quietly, and there seemed to be some yearning in her eyes. finally shook his head slowly: "I don't know anything, but I know that you are not wrong, you didn't want to take this road, but you still walked on it by mistake." That can't be avoided, since people are in this troubled world, they have to accept their fate, if you don't kill them, they will kill you............ Perhaps, if you survive well and make some careers, you are so kind, maybe you will make them live better? ”
She slowly blushed her cheeks: "No matter what you do, whether it's a scholar or a bandit leader." I think, I'm always there for you. ”
Somehow, my heart was filled with courage again. Since fate has sown me to the current field, and I have been rising and falling with the waves of fate, then I will fight against this fate! Let's see if you can take your destiny into the palm of your own hand! Although I don't want to be the king, it is my mission to let myself and the women around me live well. Maybe one day I will be able to compete with you Mongolians in the Central Plains!
But the important thing is to win this desperate battle tonight, otherwise, everything will be empty.
On the night of August 22 of the lunar calendar in 1232 AD, the villagers of Xiping Village were doing a rare good sleep in this troubled world. Although there is a shortage of soldiers outside, there is not enough food to eat. But at least my family is still gathered here, and my head is still on my neck. This is already the greatest blessing in this world.
When it was almost midnight, suddenly the villagers guarding the wall of the village struck the gong properly, and shouted loudly that there was a sound to borrow grain. Suddenly, there was a sound of calling for children and daughters in the village, and the strong men all picked up blunt knives and short spears and ran up the wall. Trembling in the wind. Wu Degong, the owner of Xiping Village, turned out to be a big landowner, who was both incompetent and timid. It was all because it was the elder brother of Xie Pingsheng, the owner of the Tiger Village, that he had a foothold here. I heard the shouts, and I was also put up on the wall. The fat face was covered with soybean-sized sweat.
I saw more than 20 black shadows on horseback hovering outside the gate. First, a figure was shouting towards the village: "Listen to the fat man of Xiping Village!" Grandpa is a good man in Funiu Mountain, and today he is here to borrow 500 stone grain for the children to spend the summer! You obediently open the door of the village and move the grain out, otherwise grandpa will look at your little broken village. One trip to flatten it! When the time comes, the chickens and dogs will not stay, that is not a trick! ”
