Chapter 80: Burning the Village
"Childe, don't worry, the little one won't destroy his future. No one wants to be a bandit for the rest of their lives, and leave a reputation for their children and grandchildren! ”
After Li Quan finished speaking, he turned around and withdrew from Xi Ningyu's camp.
As for what Xi Ningyu arranged later, can he do it well. That's not what Xi Ningyu should worry about, the opportunity is given, and if you can't grasp it, you can only blame yourself.
"Miss, can this man be believed?"
Seeing Li Quan go out, Qingqiong stepped forward and asked.
"I don't know, believe it or not, I can only look at it with facts. Anyway, it was done, and we reaped the fruits. No, we have nothing to lose. ”
Qingqiong nodded, and it was not easy to say anything for a while. Although she was very opposed to taking this Li Quan for her own use, it seemed that Xi Ningyu had already made up her mind, and Qingqiong couldn't say anything more, so she had to spend more time in the future to watch Li Quan.
Everything was arranged, and Xi Ningyu didn't plan to tell Jiang Huan about it.
She planned that when the time came, she would ask Jiang Huan to ask someone and stay in the barracks. Take a good pit this week, and completely vent your evil anger to yourself!
"Miss, then you're not afraid that this Li Quan betrayed us?"
Qingying's question, even Qingqiong, who was about to clean up Xi Ningyu's bed, stood in place when she heard this.
"Betrayal? And what, do you think this robber's cottage will be spared?
Even if Li Quan told the bandit leader about the plan to set fire to the village, this season, there are dry and sprouting vegetation everywhere. Coupled with the current wind direction, even if the fire is open, the bandits dare to go out of the village to stop it?
This is a conspiracy, just to see whether you need more hands and feet, or less hands and feet! ”
Since Li Quan went up the mountain, it was the fourth day in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, all the principal military attaches of the barracks gathered in the tent of the Chinese barracks.
"General, everything is arranged on the mountain. The bandits didn't stop them in the slightest, and everything went very smoothly! ”
Zheng Wupin summoned Enlang to Tu Qian and said to Jiang Huan with a fist.
"Generals, archers in the rear of the ambush and bandits are also in place. It can only be fired together, and if the bandit leader escapes with people, he can wait for the opportunity to shoot and kill. ”
Just when the military attachés were discussing, a soldier came in from outside the tent and said, "General, the fourth prince asks to see outside the tent!" ”
"Yo! The fourth son is here. General, let's ask the fourth prince to enter the account, just let him see if there is any omission in our arrangement! ”
Hearing Xi Ningyu's arrival, Lu Ming hurriedly said.
The other military attachés also nodded in agreement.
"Ask him to come in."
"Yes!"
After Xi Ningyu, who was outside the tent, listened to the call in the tent, he raised his feet and entered the tent.
"Fourth brother. But don't worry about our arrangement, let's take a look? ”
Jiang Huan sat down and asked with a smile.
"The second brother's arrangement must be thorough, and there should be no omissions with all the assistants. I'm here for something else! ”
"What?"
"It seems that the second brother is planning to do it tonight? Then leave Captain Lu Ming behind, and a hundred soldiers in the camp, I will be useful! ”
Jiang Huan heard this and thought about it for a while.
"Captain Lu, are you willing to stay in the camp and wait for use?"
"The last general is willing to listen to the arrangement of the fourth prince!"
"Okay, give you one hundred and five sergeants, garrison the camp, and listen to my fourth brother's dispatch!"
"Yes!"
I have seen Xi Ningyu's ability before, whether it is Jiang Huan or all the military attachés. At this time, seeing that Xi Ningyu wanted someone to general, he didn't say much to oppose it.
They all waited to see what surprising things this fourth brother of Jiang Huan could bring to everyone.
Jiang Huan listened to the military attachés in charge of the matter, and reported the situation in turn. Stood up and walked to the military case, and slapped his hands with a "snap-"
"Tonight, the area in charge of each ministry needs to be strictly guarded, so that the fire cannot be uncontrollable. Once the thief village is burned down, the generals will immediately lead troops to attack and kill without delay.
Pay more attention after the wall, be sure to capture the bandit leader alive, if you can't capture it alive in the end, then shoot it on the spot. In short, it must not be allowed to escape, lest it rally again in the future!!
Also, there are many poor people in the village, who are thieves in desperation, if there are people who can change their hearts. Be merciful to your subordinates, I hope you will see it!! ”
"I'll take my orders!"
After everyone retreated, Xi Ningyu didn't talk to Jiang Huan much. As everyone withdrew from the main tent, the military attaches dispersed after leaving the tent, and only Lu Ming followed Xi Ningyu closely.
"Fourth son, what do you have to tell me to stay?"
"After a while, when the generals have led their troops out of the camp, you will also take the men out of the camp, but do not follow them to the mountains.
But halfway through the journey, after it was dark. Lead the army to return quietly, do not enter the camp, just lie outside the camp.
Tonight, there will be a group of bandits coming down the mountain to attack the camp, and I will lead the wounded soldiers in the camp to resist. At that time, you will lead the army directly behind the enemy, and you and I will work together to annihilate this group of bandits! ”
"Fourth son, how do you know that there will be a night attack by thieves tonight?"
Xi Ningyu didn't answer, just ordered to act according to the plan.
Lu Ming couldn't ask anything, so he had to say goodbye and make preparations first.
After Xi Ningyu and Lu Ming separated, they came to their own tent.
"Childe! Li Quan is back! ”
When Fang arrived at the gate of the camp, Qingqiong greeted him and whispered.
Xi Ningyu nodded, and took Qingqiong into the tent.
"I've seen Childe!"
"Well, how are things going? Does it make people suspicious? ”
Xi Ningyu asked, staring straight at Li Quan.
"Hui Gongzi, everything is normal. The bandit leader did not notice that Xiao deliberately dragged him so that he could not send people out of the village to check. ”
When Xi Ningyu saw Li Quan replying, his expression was the same. There was a hint of joy on his face, and there was no procrastination between the words, let alone flashing words.
In my heart, I really half-believed this Li Quan.
"That's fine, but it's not all right. Since you're back, let's go back to Zhou Jin's side, after tonight, as long as you don't see anything wrong, you should understand. ”
"That childe. Small antidote......"
"Tomorrow at midnight is the time for you to poison, it's still early, you can go!"
Li Quan didn't dare to be disobedient, and silently retired when he heard the words.
"Miss. Is this Li Quan really credible? ”
Seeing Li Quan retreating, Qingying stood up and asked. She was a little uneasy, after all, she was a thief who had just switched, and a poison might not be able to make her willing.
"But don't you believe it, won't you know after tonight!"
Xi Ningyu said with a faint smile.
At night, the mountain breeze still carries a chill on the hills.
After a winter, the branches bear the buds that have just been extracted. Some of them are still knots of dead branches, and most of the grass and plants on the ground are still yellow.
"Whoosh-"
After the sound of an arrow!
I saw the forest following closely, shooting arrows with flames one after another. In addition, in the woodland near the bandit village, the soldiers secretly buried the fire oil cans and fire oil bottles a few days ago.
Instantaneously ignited by a rocket arrow.
Flames burst out, igniting the dead wood stumps next to the nearby bandit village in turn. Coupled with the direction of the mountain wind, it quickly pounced on the wooden cottage in the center.
"Hmm...... Who took a torch and shone it indiscriminately! ”
A bandit who was on night duty in the well in the cottage was awakened from his sleep by the light of the fire. He was still muttering to himself, thinking that his companion was playing with him with a torch.
“…… This, this is ......"
When he came to his senses completely, he turned his head and saw the fire dragon in the forest, surrounding the bandit village in the center in all directions, burning and approaching very quickly.
I'm already stammering!
"Come on...... Oh people! Someone's coming————!! It's on fire, it's on fire, come on————"
I could already feel the heat wave in my face, and this bandit on duty at night could be regarded as shouting out a word of fire!
After this shouting, a few figures slowly shook out of the cottage.
"What are you shouting, you at night...... You...... It's on fire————! ”
By the time everyone in the village woke up from their sleep, the fire had already ignited the wooden walls of the village.
The wind fueled the fire, and the wooden fence, which had been built for several years, was already dry and could not be dried anymore. After such a mountain fire, it was quickly ignited, and the officers and soldiers in the forest continued to shoot arrows with tung oil, which made the flame burn faster!
"you N, give me a little cleverness, this is the official army setting fire to the mountain. Don't be in a daze, pick up your arms and get ready to fight!! ”
When the bandit leader saw this scene, how could he not know that he had been tricked.
A few days ago, there was a commotion outside the village, and I couldn't send someone out to check, which made it like this.
But if you don't give up, how can the bandit leader be willing to be so restrained.
So he organized as many people as possible, intending to wait for the fire to end a little bit, and take people to fight.
At the foot of the mountain, in the bandit barracks.
"The second master, the mountain is burning. What are we going to do? ”
Li Quan looked out and asked.
"What about the people who came down the mountain, when will they arrive?"
Li Quan heard Zhou Jin ask, and secretly rolled his eyes and looked back. And the heart said, Thou art waiting for those who come down the mountain. But I didn't know that I had already been calculated, and I came to die with you!
Li Quan thought so in his heart, but said: "I must have been ambushed outside the fence of the wounded barracks!" Second, in charge, why don't we go over? ”
The reason why Li Quan said that he was ambushed on the side of the wounded camp was because Jiang Huan had almost exhausted the manpower in the camp, except for the wounded who could not go into battle, and left the basic patrol personnel.
All of them were brought up the mountain to suppress the bandits, so Li Quan also followed Xi Ningyu's instructions to lead the group of people who went down the mountain to cooperate with Zhou's attack camp to the wounded barracks, which was also decided early on!
"Almost, let's go!"
Zhou Jin did not hesitate, and walked out of the camp tent with his feet raised.
Seeing Zhou Jin leaving, Li Quan also hurriedly tightened his clothes and left with Zhou Jin.
And on the side of the wounded barracks, Xi Ningyu and others who had already been ambushed. Those who can still fight with some minor injuries hide in the haystacks or bushes outside the camp tents.
"Miss, it's all this time. Will Zhou Jin come? ”
Qingqiong looked at the fire that could be seen at a glance on the mountain, and turned her head to ask Xi Ningyu.
"At this point, if he doesn't come, he has to come!"
Without Xi Ningyu answering, Qingying whispered on the other side.
As he spoke, he heard a whistle blow.
"Shh
After the whistle blew, the figure outside the camp was revealed. They poured into the camp, and at first glance, there were quite a few of them!
"Two masters! But let's wait, we think the plan has changed! ”
"How, Kuiko. All these wounded soldiers have been captured, and as long as these people are captured, we will be able to negotiate terms with the officers and soldiers. I can also save the big boss!! ”
"Got it, second master.
Brothers, pump dicks on. Whoever resists, all of them will be put to death!! ”
Xi Ningyu and the others, who were hidden, saw that the camp fence had been destroyed, and many bandits rushed in rushed towards the camp tent.
"Miss, do you want to do it now?"
Qingqiong held the sword with both hands, tilted her head slightly to look at Xi Ningyu and asked.
At the same time, he said in his heart, our young lady is really bold, and she was not surprised at all when she saw this meeting. Look at those two eyes, they are still glowing, fortunately, they are hidden, otherwise these shining eyes alone can expose themselves and others!!
