Chapter 50: Into the Dangerous Path (5)
Sikong Lanyu saw that the brothers were extremely distrustful of Yulou, so he said to Yulou: "Let's find one or two brothers at random, and the virtuous brothers can show their hands to the brothers, so that the brothers can have a long insight." ”
Yulou smiled: "Yulou doesn't want the brothers to be live targets, so let's show my internal strength." After saying that, Swift rolled several times in a row and flew to the top of a camphor tree.
Everyone raised their heads to watch, only to see his hands grasp and raise, the movement was so fast, so fast that people were dazzled, only for a moment, they heard a pop pop sound, the soil on the ground has been inserted a circle of camphor leaves, the broad leaves are not in the soil for most of the part, leaving only a little tip of the leaf on the ground, his movement is light and chic, if it is not for the brothers to see clearly, the little tip of the leaf left on the ground is afraid that it has long disappeared.
The crowd was horrified! You must know that the soil is very hard and sticky loess, if an ordinary sword wants to be inserted into the soil at once, it will take a lot of strength to insert a few inches, and Song Yulou grabbed the leaves of the camphor tree, which was originally a soft thing, and was actually used by him as a sword.
After half a ring, the horror turned into cheers! Brother Song, you are amazing! With you, we will succeed! Brother Song, what is your trick called? Can you teach your brother a one-and-a-half move? Everyone surrounded Yulou with gossips, so that Yulou didn't know whose question to answer for a while.
Sikong Lanyu said loudly: "Brothers, don't bother my virtuous brother anymore, let's go!" ”
Everyone turned over and got on their horses, and under the leadership of Sikong Lanyu, they galloped all the way towards Tumiao Mountain. Yulou quickly adapted to horseback riding, mastered some skills, and gradually rushed to the front, walking side by side with Sikong Lanyu.
After running for more than two hours, a mountain really appeared in front of him, Sikong Lanyu grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped slowly.
He pointed to the mountain in front of him with a horsewhip and said to the Yulou: "Brother Xian, that Tumiao Mountain is here, let's go and see the way that those officers and soldiers must pass first, and then make plans." ”
Yulou nodded yes, and was about to hit the horse and move forward, but Sikong Lanyu stopped him and said, "Brother Xian will rest for a while, let the monkey go to find out the way first." After that, he called the black and thin man and said, "Brother Monkey, you go to the front to check a few mountain roads that are passable, and then come back to report." ”
The brother named Monkey said, "Yes! Big Brother Sikong! So saying, he quickly beat his horse and whipped over the small hill, and in a blink of an eye he was gone.
After not doing much, the monkey ran back, and he shouted, "Report! Brother Sikong, there are two roads on this mountain, one is wider and the other is narrower, I think about it, those officers and soldiers must take the avenue, we can set up an ambush on the mountains above the avenue, shoot them with bows and arrows, and those officers and soldiers will definitely drop their grain and grass and hug their heads and run away! ”
"How do you know they're going to take the road? What if they take the trail? Isn't our plan going down the drain? Sikong Lanyu asked.
"This, it's just speculation below, I think the trail is very narrow, and it is inconvenient to march." Monkey Road.
Yulou said: "Brother, in this way, we will divide into two roads, and the two roads will be ambushed at the same time, so as to avoid the plan falling through." ”
Sikong Lanyu asked a little difficult, "We don't have many people, plus you and I are only fifty-two people in total, so if we divide and ambush in this way, our strength will be even weaker." ”
Yulou said quite confidently: "Brother, don't worry, you take twenty-five people to the avenue to set up an ambush, I will take twenty-five people to the trail to set up an ambush, if it is the avenue taken by the officers and soldiers, you can order someone to put three rockets into the sky, so that I can immediately come over to help when I see the rocket, and similarly, if you see the rocket on my side, you can also rush over immediately." ”
"Brother Xian, this is a good way! Haha, that's it! Sikong Lanyu immediately divided half of the people to Yulou, and the two led the team to act separately.
The monkey ran in front of the horse, leading the way for the jade building, and after a while, he saw a winding path appear under the mountain beam, and the monkey said: "Brother Song, this is it, and the ambush location here is excellent." ”
Yulou looked down carefully, and found that this path was indeed rugged and difficult, if those officers and soldiers escorted a large amount of grain and grass, they would definitely not choose this road, but in case of an accident, he forcibly passed from here for safety, and it is not known.
Yulou instructed everyone to sort out their bows, arrows, knives and guns, and paint three bows and arrows with tung oil for the purpose of rocket signals, and the rest of the bows and arrows must not be coated with tung oil, for fear that after the rocket is fired, the cloth bag that escorts the grain and grass will be ignited, and if the grain and grass are burned, then the previous efforts will be wasted.
Everyone was ready and just waiting for the arrival of those officers and soldiers, but it was still early, the sun had not yet sunk in the west, and the night was still far away, and several brothers were lying in ambush in the grass, and they could not help talking.
One said: "I'm so hungry, it's still early anyway, so it's better to go and hunt a finch to roast and eat first." ”
The other said: "You see that the finch standing on Brother Song's shoulder is quite fat, if you shoot it with an arrow, I will roast it for you." ”
A rough voice said: "Brother Song is so powerful, you don't want to die, dare to eat his finch?" He laughed.
The rest of the brothers also laughed, and Yulou Zhengse said, "Don't make a noise!" No one can say whether those officers and soldiers will arrive early? If they arrive early and hear our voices, they will prepare early, and our action to grab food will take many more twists and turns. ”
Yulou's voice was not loud, but it was sent out with two percent of the internal strength, and the words in everyone's ears were shocking, and everyone didn't dare to laugh at once, and quietly lay in the grass, waiting for the arrival of that fierce battle.
Sure enough, as Yulou expected, the sun had just sunk into the valley, the fog in the mountains was gradually rising, and a few dark clouds were slowly drifting in the gray sky.
"Here, brothers, get ready, when I shout to release the arrows, you can quickly release the arrows, shoot the leader first, as long as the leader dies, the rest of the officers and soldiers will be in chaos." Yulou commanded.
Everyone nodded yes, and they all drew their bows and were ready to fire them down the hill at any moment.
I only heard the chaotic sound of horses' hooves stopped, and after a while, it gradually got farther and farther away, Yulou thought, they changed their minds and didn't take this path? It must be going to the avenue, don't worry, if my brother launches a rocket to announce the signal, I'll rush over.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see Sikong Lanyu send a signal rocket, Yulou was about to send a monkey to sneak over to take a look, and suddenly the chaotic sound of horses' hooves came back, Yulou gathered his mind and listened carefully to the movement, after a while, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, Yulou quietly raised his head to see, a team of officers and soldiers escorting grain and grass finally entered the ambush, only to see about a hundred horses carrying two or three very solidly tied cloth bags on their backs, and each horse had two or three hundred catties of grain on their backs, so the officers and soldiers walked very slowly.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, Yulou shouted: "Brothers! Shoot the arrows! ”
When the bow and arrow were fired, the three rockets were also shot into the air, and the three fire-breathing arrow feathers with three sounds of breaking the air seemed to tear three openings in mid-air, opening the battle for food and grass.
Those officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and immediately more than a dozen people fell to the ground or were killed or wounded by arrows, but they were not vegetarians, and when they saw someone sneaking attack, they hurriedly drew their bows and arrows while dodging.
The leader was a stocky man, with a full beard and a long amphora in his hand, and he shouted at the top of the hill, "Rats and dog thieves! Have the ability to come down and fight grandpa once! Hide, hide, be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”
Yulou blushed a little, for the first time in his life, he was scolded as a dog thief, and he inevitably felt uncomfortable, but in order to return his brother's favor, he had no choice but to admit it.
Yulou grabbed a handful of pebbles, and hit the short and fat man with a move of flying flowers and picking leaves! I saw that the short and fat man didn't move in an instant, and several big holes in his body had been sealed by the jade tower! His mouth opened wide in surprise, his eyes widened in horror, and he was speechless.
Those officers and soldiers couldn't help but look around in fright, there are ghosts in this valley? At this moment, a figure flew down from the hill in an instant, and quickly landed beside the leader, snatched the long two-eared knife he was holding in his stiff hand, put the blade on his neck, and shouted to the rest of the officers and soldiers: "I am not a thief!" It's just that ordinary people, only because of lack of food, have to go hungry, and have to make this decision, please make a convenient way, leave the grain and grass, otherwise...... I, Song Yulou, are merciless! ”
