Chapter 36 Knock out
Her bright eyes and bright teeth fell into Rong Xiu's eyes, like a stone suddenly thrown into his originally calm heart, and the ripples swept under his chest.
The tip of his heart trembled suddenly, and the whole person was stunned as if he had been cast a soul fixing technique.
Seeing that he didn't react, Yan Xiaoyan let go of the hand holding his arm, raised it and put it on his ears, and a small pear vortex rose at the corner of his mouth: "It's useless if you say no, because I can't hear it!" ”
Rong Xiu sighed helplessly, that's it, she can follow if she wants, just pay more attention to it when she goes to the island!
As he spoke, the night darkened suddenly, and the surroundings were completely shrouded in darkness.
The sea water on the hull of the ship became shallower a little, and Phoenix Island was close in front of me, like a desert island, black and dark as if there were no people at all.
Pan Shu counted the number of soldiers on the deck for the last time, and Rong Xiu stood aside, the sea breeze blowing the corners of his clothes high.
Holding a map in his hand, he pointed to a valley in the center of Phoenix Island, and gave an order to the dozen or so soldiers who were in the forefront of the reconnaissance: "The Japanese people are different from other ethnic groups in the Baili Dynasty, they have no fixed place to live, and they have always been haunted. The island is full of jungles, and they often live in seclusion, and it is not easy to find them. This location on the map is the original nest of the Japanese people, and a dozen of you will go ashore first, and arrive here as soon as possible on the premise of avoiding the Japanese sentry to see if there is a princess's whereabouts! Whether you find it or not, remember not to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake. If you encounter an ambush, don't entangle with them, you must find a way to get out as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible! Do you understand? ”
A tall soldier in the lead stood upright: "Understood! Please rest assured that the general is guaranteed to complete the mission! ”
Rong Xiu's face gradually became solemn, his eyes were particularly shining in front of dozens of pairs of eyes in the dark night, he raised his hand and waved his sleeves lightly, and his tone was extraordinarily deep: "Go, wait for you to come back!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so soldiers got off the boat neatly, and their figures were hidden in the night like ghosts, and they disappeared into the dense forest of the island in a short time.
Rong Xiu sent a few people to guard the ship, and took the rest of the people to Phoenix Island and settled on the seaside.
The waiting time seemed to be unusually long, and Pan Shu turned around irritably, occasionally looking in the direction of the soldier's entry into the jungle.
Rong Xiu leaned against the palm tree on the side, closed his eyes slightly, heard his restless footsteps, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Can you stop for a while, and take a break while there is no news yet, there will definitely be a tough battle to fight tonight!" ”
Pan Shu stomped the mud on his feet on the side: "I'm not in a hurry!" Why haven't these boys come back yet! ”
Gu Weihai glanced at him: "What are you anxious about?" The forest on the island is so dense, it would be nice if they didn't turn inside! Not only do you have to find people, but you also have to avoid the surprise attack of the Japanese people, which is so easy! ”
Pan Shu grinned, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
The night breeze was a little cool, Yan Xiaowei shrank her head and rubbed her hands against each other. Suddenly, her shoulders warmed, and when she turned around, she found that she was covered with Rong Xiu's cloak at some point.
She reached out and wrapped her cloak tightly, and looked at the person who was still clasped and closed: "Didn't you sleep?" ”
Rong Xiu still looked like that: "Even if I close my eyes, I know the situation around here!" ”
Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but sigh, and reached out to touch his arm: "Hey, you said that so many of us went to Phoenix Island, did those people already know through the secret sentinel!" ”
Rong Xiu opened one eye and glanced at her: "Of course, do you think that group of widows is as stupid as you?" ”
Yan Xiaowei rolled her eyes, not as knowledgeable as him, and asked good-naturedly: "Since you know that we are on the island, why don't you even have a figure?" ”
Rong Xiu lifted the corner of his mouth: "What is the figure doing here?" Waiting to be beaten? Clearly, they are definitely not our opponents, and now that they have heard the rumors, they are probably secretly plotting how to attack us and are busy transferring the princess! ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly stood up straight, his eyes opened, and his eyes were cold: "Our people are back!" ”
Yan Xiaowei half-squinted, looked towards the entrance of the jungle, and saw several small soldiers running back one after another, more or less injured.
The tall soldier saw Rong Xiu and hurriedly ran over: "Report to the general!" A few of us sneaked into the jungle as you ordered, and the original location of the valley and the old nest were indeed gone, and there was no trace of the princess. Instead, in the process of searching in the bushes, he was hit by the enemy's hidden arrow! ”
Rong Xiu nodded: "You guys go and bandage the wounds first!" ”
Yan Xiaowei hurriedly removed the arrows on several people, disinfected and bandaged them with medicinal wine, fortunately, the arrows were not quenched, otherwise they would be in trouble.
Seeing that a few people had finished bandaging, Rong Xiu pointed to the map with his index finger: "Do you still have an impression of the ambush location?" If you have an impression, mark the approximate location on the map! ”
Several soldiers hurriedly took the wolf hair and dotted ink on the map, and as soon as they put down the pen, Pan Shu and Gu Weihai came to the edge of the map.
Rong Xiu put his hands on the table and glanced at the map: "Do you see any problems?" ”
Pan Shu's eyes widened and he twisted his eyebrows: "What's the problem?" I could see that of the fifteen men we had sent out, thirteen of them were ambushed! This group of widows, this time Lao Tzu has to clean them up! ”
Gu Weihai stroked his white beard and glanced at Pan Shu: "You are simple-minded and have well-developed limbs!" Just see this thing? ”
Seeing that Pan Shu was puzzled, Yan Xiaowei on the side stretched out a finger and pointed on the map: "Brother Pan, didn't you find it?" Almost all of the places where our people were attacked were on the edge of the river, which shows that the Japanese people mainly hid in this area! ”
She raised her head, looked at Shang Rong Xiu's inexplicable gaze, and touched her face with her hand uncomfortably, a little hesitant: "What?" Am I wrong? ”
Without waiting for Rong Xiu to speak, Gu Weihai on the side slapped her shoulder with his big palm, and a century-old stinky face smiled at her for the first time: "Good girl, not only did you say something wrong, but you were right to the point!" I didn't expect you little girl to have a little eyesight, it seems that the little general is still very accurate in seeing people! ”
His old face turned into a flower, and his tone was unprecedentedly kind: "Tell me again, what else do you see?" ”
The attitude of the person who couldn't look at him suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, Yan Xiaowei couldn't come back to his senses at the moment, his eyes looked at Rong Xiu in a daze, and seeing that he was also listening to him, Yan Xiaoyan licked his lips, and didn't notice that the eyes of the man opposite suddenly deepened.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground nearby, squatted down and reached out to pick a piece of soil on the ground and twisted it with her fingers: "This Phoenix Island rainforest is full of humid climate, but as far as I know, this kind of place is generally divided into rainy season and dry season. During the rainy season, it usually rains most of the day, but you see, the place where we are standing is a little muddy, but when you look closely, the mud is broken into pieces. This means that there was more water here, but because it hadn't rained for a long time, it was a little dry here. Therefore, I guess this Phoenix Island should be in the dry season now. ”
As she spoke, her eyes lit up, and what was in her mind became clearer and clearer.
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the location on the map where the soldiers were attacked: "Since it is the dry season, the reason why our people were attacked by the river is very clear. Now that there is less rain, the water source is decreasing, and the Japanese people can only stay by the river if they want to survive. Therefore, according to my speculation, their lair and the kidnapped princess and others are hidden near the river nine times out of ten, so that it is not only convenient for the Japanese people to take water for their daily life, but also convenient for them to quickly move and escape on the river when they encounter danger! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Pan Shu hurriedly clapped his hands, with admiration in his tone: "Oh my God, brother and sister, I can't imagine that you know so much!" In the future, the general will take you on the expedition, and you can be regarded as half a military division! ”
Yan Xiaowei hurriedly waved her hand: "Brother Pan, don't say that, I said this in passing, you are experts in this area, I am really a class leader!" ”
Rong Xiu saw her blushing and waving her hands, her eyes dodging, and she really wanted to reach out and pinch her face. In fact, however, his hand was halfway outstretched, drew a circle in the air, and pointed sharply at the soldiers who were on standby: "In a few moments, we will march in the direction of the river, occupy every fork in the river, and focus on searching for places to hide on both sides of the river." Once you meet a widow, you must find a way to keep alive and find out the whereabouts of the princess! Do you understand? ”
The soldiers were shocked: "Yes! The voice was low and loud in the night sky.
With a wave of Rong Xiu's hand, the soldiers immediately entered the jungle and advanced at great speed.
Yan Xiaowei was infected by the atmosphere, and a passion suddenly welled up in her heart. Looking at the backs of the soldiers from afar, he stepped up to follow.
Suddenly, the sleeve of his shirt was held by a hand, and Rong Xiu's face looked exceptionally clean in the bright moonlight: "Follow me for a while, don't run around!" ”
Yan Xiaoyu nodded.
Unlike what I imagined, the process of entering the jungle was very smooth, and it took about half an hour to walk, and there were no traces of Japanese people on either side of the river. However, the calmer it is, the more disturbing it becomes.
Suddenly, as if a switch had been touched, there was a sudden swishing sound in the jungle, and Yan Xiaoyi's heart tightened: "It's really coming!" ”
Sure enough, dozens of arrows rained down from different directions!
The soldiers reacted extremely sensitively, and hurriedly raised the bow in their hands to shoot back in the direction from which the arrow came, and for a time there was a scuffle around, and the sound of running, shouting, and screaming was endless!
Rong Xiu also drew his sword and mingled among the soldiers to fight.
Yan Xiaowei was still able to follow him at first, using the long sword he gave her in advance to resist, but gradually, the jungle began to burst out of the widows, and the distance between her and Rong Xiu became farther and farther.
When they looked back, there were already several fighting crowds around the two.
Rong Xiu hurriedly eliminated a widow with a sword, and when he saw the scene on Yan Xiaoyi's side, his face suddenly changed!
A small widow jumped down from a tree and landed in front of her.
Yan Xiaowei saw that the person's hand was raised, and there was a loud bang in his head at the moment, and then his eyes fell into darkness.
The moment she fainted, there was only one thought in her mind: she wouldn't be killed by this stick, would she?
