Chapter 255: Abandonment
The young man took out the arrow from the quiver behind him, put it on the bowstring, and with both arms, pulled the hard bow into a full moon.
Fingers released.
The bowstring buzzed and trembled, and the jet-black arrows shot at Boss Cao's back like meteors.
At this moment, it seems that the picture is frozen.
Boss Cao instinctively felt that something strange was coming from behind him, but it was too late to dodge.
The sharp tip of the arrow instantly shot in the back and then emerged from the chest.
A ball of blood bursts open.
Because he was attacked by a sneak attack, when Boss Cao escaped, he didn't have time to wear armor.
"Ahh Boss Cao's face was distorted, his mouth let out a painful cry, he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened and he fell down.
Seeing that his big boss was shot, the remnants of the thieves no longer resisted and fled one after another.
"None of them will be left!" The young man snorted coldly and shot one black arrow after another again.
In every shot, all the thieves who were taken care of fell.
The thieves fled in all directions in a panic, no longer taking the forest road, and all of them scattered into the mountains and forests on both sides, and the pursuers in full armor had to dismount, and then rushed up to cover up and kill.
After a while, a small leader ran to kneel on one knee, "Lord Hui, Boss Cao is dead, and a total of fifty-eight thieves have been killed this time." ”
The words are clean and neat, the voice is loud, and it is actually a tough military style.
The young man nodded slightly.
Fifty-eight people were killed, and a few small fish should get away.
But it's just a few thieves, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
There are many fierce beasts living in this deep mountain and old forest, and these few people are afraid that they will become the snacks of the fierce beasts.
Previously, Boss Cao knew that it would be easy to catch up if he ran away on the forest path, but why didn't he go into the mountains and forests to hide?
First, it is easy to get lost in the forest and cannot get out.
Even though the bandits have lived in the Pingluo Mountains for decades, they are still only active in the outer part of the mountain forest, and they cannot find their way into the depths.
The second is that fierce beasts are rampant in the forest.
There are tigers, black bears, and wolves in the mountains and forests.
and various types of venomous snakes of different species.
Many poisonous snakes are so venomous that if they are bitten, they will never survive.
These bandits have experienced battle, and all of them smell blood, while the beasts have a very keen sense of smell.
Therefore, if the number of people is small, it will be difficult to run into the mountains and get out alive.
Three days later, in the den of the mysterious horse bandits.
Several leaders gathered in the lobby, all smiling faces.
"Sure enough, it's just a few bunches of local chickens and dogs, it's not worth mentioning!" Although the second leader was old, he still picked up the big bowl of wine and drained it in one gulp.
Some of the liquor poured from the corners of his mouth and fell down his tousled beard, wetting his chest.
"What the second brother said is extremely true." The four chiefs chimed in and drained a bowl of water and wine.
The mood of the big leader is also very good, and it is rare to praise the second leader once, "The second brother is as brave as he was back then, and the eldest brother toasts you a cup!" ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" The second leader raised his glass and made another bowl.
The third leader stroked his beard with his hand, frowned, and said: "Although the second brother is brave, in the end, he is not as old as when he was young, and it is better to fight in the rear in the future." ”
"What?" The second leader hated being told that he was old, and he was already old, so he suddenly stood up from the chair, glared at the third leader, and said, "Third, who do you say is old?" In our cottage, there are no more than five people who can beat me in strength!
Hum! ”
After that, the second leader intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the big leader and the masculine young man.
I sighed in my heart.
The eldest brother not only has unparalleled power, but also gives birth to a good son.
No, there's also a grandson who can make a lot of noise.
If it weren't for the little guy who gave the emperor a headache, the court wouldn't want to destroy the cottage in one fell swoop this time.
Although the young man named Fang'er is also very good, he is not afraid of not knowing the goods, he is afraid of comparing the goods.
Compared with the father and son, Fang Er was indeed slightly inferior.
After the second leader thought about this, his mind couldn't help but be a little complicated, although he saw the situation clearly and knew who was superior and who was inferior, but he couldn't help but fight.
It's just a small cottage on this side.
It's just a big chief.
But in the future, if the army rebels and seizes the Great Qi country, the big leader will be ...... Since ancient times, the most hated internal fighting in his own family is the royal family, at this time, if he does not fight, when that time comes, who knows if Lu Dao will be cut off the head on the neck?
Even now the big leader and the masculine young man seem to be good-natured, not ruthless and unrighteous people.
But when you sit in a high position and hold authority, who knows if the way will change?
It is still early for the day of the army, and even if the army is raised, it is not so easy to take the Great Qi country.
The days ahead are still long, and there are many variables.
His grandson may be the last winner.
When it's time to fight, you still have to fight!
"Second brother, I didn't mean you ......," the three leaders explained.
But he was interrupted by the second leader's glaring eyes, "I just don't accept the old man, who can take my life, it means that he is really capable!"
And having lived to be more than fifty years old, I have already lived enough!
Death is death, what are you afraid of? ”
The three leaders could only shake their heads helplessly when they heard this.
"Third brother, you know that some people in the Dao are unreasonable, why do you have the kind heart to persuade you?" The Seventh Leader suddenly snorted coldly and said, "In the future, you'd better not care about it anymore, so as to save yourself from being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by those who don't know what to do!" ”
The second leader was about to turn his face immediately.
Fortunately, many leaders dissuaded them, otherwise the hall would be smashed by the two.
"We're not done talking about business yet, so let's not argue yet." The big leader said in a deep voice: "In addition to our Pingluo Mountain, there are also four horse bandit dens with great strength, each horse bandit has more than 1,000 people, three days ago, we attacked at night and wiped out one of them.
But although they have taken away their cottages, there are always fish that slip through the net.
The three masters of the Nanda bandit village escaped with their lives. ”
The original four cottages, each occupying a hill, are distinguished by direction, called Pingluo East Village, South Village, West Village, and North Village.
The head of the cottage is not the same as the little minions, the little minions ran away a few and had nothing to do, they were the bottom in the cottage and had no authority in the cottage, and they were very strictly constrained on weekdays, so they couldn't go here, and they couldn't go there.
I am not familiar with the surrounding area at all.
So they could not lead the way to the imperial army.
But the people in charge are different, they have a high status and great authority, and they often take their henchmen into the mountains to hunt, and they have already run all over the mountains and forests.
If this person leads the way for the imperial army, it will be a disaster.
Everyone knew what was important, and when they heard it, they quieted down.
The second leader also sat back again.
"I have to think of a way to get rid of Sun Peng!" The young man known as Fang Er spoke.
Sun Peng is the three masters of Pingluo Mountain South Village.
Hearing this, the seven leaders glanced at the young man.
This three-master escaped from the young man.
There was disdain in his eyes, but the seven leaders did not open their mouths to sneer.
Now when talking about business, opening your mouth to attack and ridicule, it just seems that there is no seriousness.
"Fang Er is right, but it's difficult." The great leader put down the bowl in his hand.
"Or, wait for the news of Sun Peng to find out, and give up a ......" Fang Er's voice gradually lowered, but everyone understood what he meant.
can know in advance that the imperial court will send soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress, and the cottage must be indispensable to install eyeliner in the imperial army.
And the official status of eyeliner is not low.
This time, the imperial court encircled and suppressed Pingluo Mountain, and it has been secretly arranging arrangements.
Many generals in the army don't know what to do.
"Abandon it, give it up! You will know that the way is abandoned! Huo Ran, the seventh leader, stood up and roared angrily: "Those eyeliners are also people, and they also have parents, wives and children, why do you always propose to give up eyeliner every time you encounter a slightly tricky thing?"
What are they in your eyes? ”
Hearing this, the young man lowered his head and looked at his toes.
The second leader's face was very unnatural, "Fang Er didn't treat eyeliner as inappropriate, it's just that things have priorities, and the lesser of two evils is chosen." ”
The big leader glanced at the second leader, and the second leader didn't have much confidence in the first place, so he immediately shut up.
"It's not easy for us to insert eyeliner into the imperial army, and we must not expose them unless we have to." As soon as the big leader spoke, he set the tone, "Fang'er, your proposal is not unreasonable, but those eyeliners are all loyal to us.
We can't be so cold-blooded for our own safety.
You're still young, and you've been in the shadows, so you haven't really led troops in the army.
So I don't have a lot of affection with those eyeliner.
I...... On the battlefield, I don't know how many guards and soldiers died on the battlefield in order to save me.
This kindness can only be repaid in the next life.
In short, those eyeliners should never be easily discarded. ”
The three leaders echoed, "Yes, and those eyeliners are of great use to us, once we give them up, it will be difficult to insert them in them, make them climb to a high position, and gain the trust of the emperor." ”
There is no eyeliner to monitor the movements of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, which is very disadvantageous for them.
At this time, the big leader looked at the masculine young man again, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "Jing'er, do you guess which general is responsible for encircling and suppressing us this time?" ”
"Huh?"
The young man raised his eyes to meet the big leader's eyes.
"Muwu Hou!" The big leader's voice landed, and the young man's eyes narrowed slightly.
After being silent for a long moment, the young man suddenly raised his head, "Sun Peng handed it over to me to deal with!" ”
"What can you do?" The second leader frowned.
But the young man frowned and did not answer.
When the two chiefs saw this, they were angry, and they were angry.
The big leader took the first step and said, "Okay, Sun Peng will be handed over to you." ”
The second leader was breathless, wanting to have a seizure but couldn't.
Although he has always been at odds with the Great Chief, the position of the Great Leader is above him, and once a decision is made, no one else can question it.
Therefore, the second leader can only secretly resentful in his heart, boasting about Haikou, and then worrying with you when you can't complete the task!
With the frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses in the surrounding imperial courts, the atmosphere in Pingluo Mountain is also becoming increasingly tense.
On this day, the chief received a letter again, and immediately gathered all the high-ranking people in the cottage.
"There are more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court who entered the mountains to suppress bandits this time!"
As soon as the big leader's words fell, the crowd below was full of discussions.
There are only more than 4,000 people on the cottage side, less than 5,000, even if the weapons and armor are excellent, on weekdays, the training of the sergeants is extremely hard, and it is impossible to resist more than 70,000 imperial court soldiers and horses.
The three leaders stroked their beards and said, "It seems that Xian'er's guess has come true, and the imperial court is indeed determined to eradicate us this time." ”
"yes!" The seven leaders echoed, "Fortunately, Xian'er is like a god, let's start earlier, except for the other four horse bandits, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe." ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they also nodded in response.
Seeing that everyone moved their eyes to himself, the masculine young man lowered his eyes in a low-key manner.
Only the second leader turned his head to the side unconvinced.
Pingluo Mountain is seriously infested, and there is a military camp stationed at the foot of the mountain.
There are more than 20,000 people in this military camp, which does have a certain deterrent effect for the horse bandits in Pingluo Mountain, but the horse bandits survive by looting, killing people and setting fires, so even if they are afraid, they will still go down the mountain to loot.
Otherwise, wouldn't you starve to death?
More than 20,000 people, which sounds like a lot of people.
However, the area of Pingluo Mountain is very large, and there are not many intersections down the mountain, and the horse bandits under the mountain can easily avoid the scouts and eyes of the imperial army, and go down the mountain to rob and rob.
This army has entered the mountains countless times to encircle and suppress, but it has not been able to make any contributions.
For the horse bandits who can't beat them and run, the generals in the army are helpless.
Once the horse bandits hid in the mountains, they did not dare to pursue.
The mountains and forests are overgrown with plants and trees, which is very suitable for digging traps, and one is not careful, there will be greater casualties.
Today, a team of dozens of people quietly entered the barracks.
The highest general in the barracks was General Ning Yuan, Bi Jinglun, and General Ning Yuan was an official name, half a rank higher than the guerrilla general.
Bi Jinglun walked out of the big tent and greeted him personally.
"General Bi takes the order!"
In the middle of the procession, a male duck screamed.
Bi Jinglun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately fell to one knee.
"Fengtian Carrier ......" is clearly a eunuch who recites the holy decree, and beside the eunuch is the leader of this team.
But the man covered his face with a black veil.
