Chapter 133
In the grass, a thin-looking auxiliary soldier leaned down and grabbed the arm of the wounded man on the ground to carry him.
At this moment, another auxiliary soldier beside him happened to come over and blocked the view of Yu Linwei in the camp on the mountain.
Subsequently, two black bamboo tubes were thrown to the camp.
"What?"
Boom, bang twice, the humble walled wall was blown open two one-person-high holes.
"It's gunpowder, these guys, here again!"
The guard who had been guarding swore and got up from the ground.
The auxiliary soldier who sneaked up on him had already run away.
"Why are you here again?"
The lieutenant also had a black face.
This gunpowder is not very powerful, and it can blow the hole in this dilapidated wall.
This village was originally also a den of thieves, and the walls built were just shelves built with reeds and timber made of local materials, which were not strong.
It's easy to blow up, and it's easy to tinker.
Actually, it doesn't make much sense, it's disgusting.
"Hmph, no matter what they do, guard here, find a few more people, build this wall higher and thicker, this time there is no need for wood, use mounds of earth, I don't believe it can be exploded!"
After the lieutenant finished speaking, he went to the back and looked around.
This is a two-sided canyon called a line of heaven.
Here, one husband is closed.
Not to mention that there is still a stockade blocked here.
There is only one road leading to the valley, with cliffs on both sides and behind.
If you want to take a detour, you have to take a few miles of detours, through the forest, up the cliffs, and down the cliffs!
There are also streams, waterfalls, and even ponds in the valley, and there is no shortage of water for a short time.
There was originally a cottage here, but it has long been abandoned, and the bandits have been exterminated.
Their group, together with the entourage of the Qin Cha and the local county magistrate who had temporarily summoned the villagers, were only 500 people.
It's been a day since we retreated here.
I was about to run out of food.
I don't know what the road ahead is.
The first time he went out of the capital, he encountered this kind of scene, and the captain was somewhat frightened.
The boots were stained with blood, and they were a little slippery on the mountain road, and they almost slipped several times.
"I really don't know why those rebels have to rebel, isn't it good to be a good citizen in peace?"
Talking to himself, he came into the valley.
Most of the beasts in the valley have been killed by them and made into food.
Set fire to a meadow, smoke and roast it, expel all kinds of poisonous insects, and burn a white field as a camp.
The entourage of the Qincha was all here, and they simply made some wooden sheds, which were accommodated.
"Lord Lin, under the mark, the enemy has been repulsed."
"Captain Li doesn't have to be so polite, come, please take a seat."
Sit?
Captain Li looked at the wooden shed, the reed-made bed, and the air leaked on all sides.
Lin Ruhai himself knelt on the reed mat, looking at him calmly, but he didn't see any panic.
Somehow, it calmed down all of a sudden.
The original anxiety in my heart and the anxiety of the first battle seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
He grinned.
"There's no place to sit here, so let's stand under the mark!"
"It's fine."
From Lin Ruhai's point of view, I could see the blisters burning out of Captain Li's mouth, which was because he was in a hurry for the past two days.
"Don't worry, I asked you to lead someone back here, naturally I didn't lie."
Captain Li's eyes lit up.
"Really...... Is there really a grain cave? ”
"Not bad!"
Lin Ruhai nodded.
"Others don't know, but I know that there is a place to hide grain here."
"A few years ago, a batch of military rations disappeared during transit, which can be described as a big case!"
"Is that the rations hidden here?"
"Exactly."
"I also have a mission on this trip, which is to come here to find out the whereabouts of the military rations, as well as ...... Affiliation with the Zhen family. ”
"This is the place in the end."
"This was enough evidence to bring down the Zhen family, but it's a pity...... It's not needed anymore. ”
Captain Li said:
"Now that the Zhen family is determined to rebel, it is not bad for such a little incriminating evidence."
"Today I have asked people to check, the stored grain is sealed in the cave, most of it is millet and wheat, there is nothing, and it is still edible."
"There is no shortage of food and water, so it's time for us to think about the future."
Lin Ruhai was ordered to come down, and it was aimed at the Zhen family, including these three hundred Yu Linwei, who were all pawns crossing the river on the bright side.
The Zhen family raised the flag to rebel, and in January, they went down to the Thirteen Mansions, and half of the south of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of the Zhen family.
Their mission has expired.
Now we just need to think about how to protect ourselves and get out of the way.
"This, under the mark, I think that since there is food and water, and it occupies a favorable location, it is better to stick to it. When the imperial army exterminates the rebellious party, it won't take long to think about it. ”
The captain still feels that Great Xia is orthodox, not to mention such a big matter, the imperial court will soon dispatch troops, and there is hope to wait until the official army comes.
As for the Zhen family, what kind of thing is it, which character on the stage?
is just a maritime merchant, entangled with a group of pirates and bandits, and dares to kill officials and rebel.
Really when the imperial court's 500,000 army is vegetarian!
Thirteen mansions in a row in January seem terrifying, but in fact, it is just a surprise to the imperial court.
really waited for the behemoth of the imperial court to run and crush the Zhen family to death, which was no different from crushing an ant.
During these days, he took the time to calculate the military strength, money, food, and population of both sides, and came to this conclusion.
Lin Ruhai disagreed with him.
"If the Zhen family dares to make trouble, they must rely on it."
"Before this, who would have thought that they would plant so many people in Jiangnan?"
"Many people who made trouble, in the past, were officials of the imperial court, not to mention that they have a great future, but they are also proud of life, why should they take the risk of the nine clans to do such an unpardonable crime?"
Hearing him say this, Captain Li also realized that something was wrong.
He was also born in a family of eunuchs in the capital, and he understands the rules of sending him in the officialdom.
Unless the imperial examination is hopeless, or the officialdom is frustrated, thinking about fighting for a fortune, or taking revenge on the imperial court, no one will do this!
This is also the reason why among the rebel rebels in every dynasty, most of them are talented people who have no hope of the imperial examination, or petty officials who are unsatisfactory, and it is rare to see high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
"Zheng Rugui, the county magistrate of Hegang County, I have seen it before, and I am still the same year. But I'm a first-list tanhua, he is nineteen in the third list, and he is the same jinshi. I have seen him during the roll call at the palace gate, he has everyone's demeanor, and he has chatted a few words, and he has a glass of water and wine, I don't think he is a person who can rebel. ”
"There must be a secret in this."
Captain Li heard that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
"My lord, are you thinking that you want to sneak out alone and find this Zheng Rugui?"
He frowned.
"Lord Lin, please think again!"
"I know that you are a rare master, but the son of a daughter can't sit down......"
