Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ready to Kill
The continuous rain is several days at a time, not big, like a woman's resentment, it seems to be quiet, but it can make you crazy.
Anyone with experience knows that winter is coming, and this is the last struggle of autumn.
In fact, going out in this kind of weather is not much better than going out in winter, or even colder.
In the afternoon of this day, seven or eight caravans came to a mountain depression fifty miles west of Yingning County, and they gathered together, about five hundred people.
These people were very organized, and as soon as they stopped, they began to work, some set up tents, some dug drainage canals, some made fires and made food, and some had already climbed the mountain bags on both sides to be in charge of guarding.
The tent was quickly erected, and several men went inside, saluting in unison to the people sitting at the top, and calling the commander.
That person is tall and mighty, with a big beard on his face, and a terrible scar in the corner of his eye, who can he be if he is not Wei Debiao, the commander of the Ting County Tun Guard?
"Well, are you all here?" Wei Debiao motioned for his subordinates to sit down, his expression majestic.
"It's all here, and there is no shortage of one."
The person at the top of the left nodded and answered, then looked at his colleagues, and asked thoughtfully: "My lord, don't be angry, it's not that the brothers don't know the rules, it's just that we left the station suddenly, and there is no military order to go to the peak, and the people below are very bottomless!"
Now that the place has arrived, what are we here for, can you tell us a little bit about it? ”
"Yes, yes, my lord, our brothers have been with you for many years, so we naturally believe you, but after all, there are many people below, in case there are any bad rumors, then it will be a big deal."
"What? Afraid that my old Wei will lead you to rebel? Wei Debiao sneered.
"No, no." Several people waved their hands and laughed dryly, but they were really shocked in their hearts.
Wei Debiao snorted coldly, took out a piece of black silk from his arms and threw it to the first person on the left: "Lao Li, you are literate, read it to them." ”
The lieutenant surnamed Li opened the black thick, and when he saw the seal on it, he stood up suddenly, read it carefully, and hurriedly returned it to Wei Debiao, as if his hands were hot.
The other people in the tent did not do anything, and they all asked him noisily about what was written on it.
Captain Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "That is the order written by the governor to recruit us and others to go to Ganliang County to suppress bandits. ”
"That's it?"
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and teased: "Look at your useless appearance, follow the governor to suppress bandits, that's a credit from heaven, a good thing!" ”
"That's right! Lord Angel is not transferring troops in Yingning, nor is he recruiting troops on the spot in Ganliang, which shows that the above trusts our Lord Wei's ability to lead troops, and will follow Lord Wei to eat and drink spicy food in the future, what is there to be afraid of? ”
"Li'er is such a Li'er." One person was not as happy as everyone else, but frowned, "It's just...... Why do we want to come in sneaky disguises? Still camping in such a mountain valley where soldiers are taboo?
In addition, it has been raining for several days, and the soil is soft, and it is easy to break out into flash floods, or even go to the mountains! ”
Hearing this, the expressions of several people all became solemn, and they all looked at Wei Debiao, but Wei Debiao looked at Captain Li with a smile.
Captain Li smiled bitterly and said, "That's because His Highness recruited me not only to suppress bandits, but also to ......."
……
"Your Highness, it's past noon, do you still want to go out?"
Yingning County guarded the courtyard, and Lu Jiancheng asked strangely when he saw that the hero had changed into a narrow-sleeved hunting suit.
"Well, it's been raining these days, and I'm bored." The hero touched Huang Nannan, who was his neck, and said with a smile, "The little guy said that it is easier to hunt good game on rainy days, so the little nephew wants to go around the mountains outside the city." ”
"No, Your Highness!" Lu Jiancheng hurriedly said, "Weichen is here to report to His Highness, I just received news that there was a rebellion in a small country near the border of Rongzhou a few months ago, and the rebels were defeated and fled into the mountains and forests.
It's really not appropriate for you to go out of town to hunt at this time! ”
The hero frowned: "It's just a few lost dogs who lost the battle, and Uncle Lu is too serious." ”
"His Royal Highness is an angel sent by Qincha, and he is the foundation of the country, Weichen thinks that it is not too serious to be serious." Lu Jiancheng was categorical and loyal.
The hero smacked his mouth, sighed, nodded his nose and said, "Did you hear it?" You can't go out today, stay at home obediently, I'll ask someone to buy you a few chickens to catch and play, okay? ”
Huang Nannan's head rubbed him affectionately.
"His Royal Highness's advice is like a stream, and he will be the master of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the ministers are very comforted, and they are very fortunate!" Lu Jiancheng patted the horse just right.
The hero laughed: "Uncle Chenglu Jiyan." ”
"Your Highness," Lu Jiancheng said again, "In order to prevent the Rongzhou army from causing chaos and endangering the people, Weichen may be busy with military affairs in the future, if he neglects His Highness, please atone for his sins." ”
The hero waved his hand: "Uncle Lu is busy, don't worry about me." ”
"Your Highness! Wechen retired. ”
Lu Jiancheng withdrew from the study, and his smile remained until he came out of the hanging flower door.
On a rainy day, the night came early, and it was dark and deep.
In the valleys, piles of bonfires could not dispel the darkness, but could only illuminate the surrounding area.
On the top of the hill on one side, the sentry soldiers trembled and gnawed on dry food for a while, and the more they watched the bonfire under the mountain, the more angry they became, they scolded their mothers fiercely, threw away the cakes in their hands, and ran down the mountain.
After a short time, black figures suddenly appeared from the woods on the top of the hill on both sides, and the campfires and tents in the valleys were like sheep targeted by wolves, unguarded.
Thundered......
A thunderous voice sounded, Wei Debiao's eyes in the tent suddenly flashed, he pulled out his waist knife, and said with a cruel smile: "Here, little rabbit cubs, ready to kill!" ”
Rock after boulder, carrying the rain-soaked mud, rolled down from the top of the mountain, smashing dozens of carts in an instant, burying most of the campfire tents.
Immediately after that, clusters of firelight lit up on the top of the mountain, and soon they were connected.
The next moment, those fires turned into meteors, flying high and falling rapidly, densely packed, but rockets.
After a few rounds, the tents and grass in the valley that were not destroyed by the mudslide ignited a raging fire, and in the light of the fire, you can clearly see people shouting and running.
A fierce light appeared in the eyes of the leader of the mountaintop, and with a whistle came out of his mouth, the shadows threw away their bows and arrows, drew their long knives, and rushed down with a shout.
"Kill!"
The mountain was not very high, and the slope was gentle, so even if it was muddy, they quickly came to the bottom of the mountain, and then saw that there was a clearing in the middle of the valley that had not been affected by mudslides and fires.
There was a big car in a circle, and dozens of people stood in the circle.
There are only these dozens of people.
Oops, hit the mark!
Even the stupidest people have this idea in their hearts, but it's too late.
Hearing a shout from one person in the circle, the tarpaulins on those carts were immediately uncovered, revealing dense beehive-like holes on them.
Occasionally, when the fire shines, a cold light shines out of the hole.
Ballista box truck!
Swish!
The rain of arrows and bees poured out like a swarm of bees, and in just an instant, nearly 100 lives were harvested.
At the same time, there were also earth-shattering shouts of killing at the entrances and exits on both sides of the mountain valley.
In the dark and rainy night, the fire was extinguished, the fighting and screams were endless, and the colors in the drainage canal were as deep as night.
