The night was very deep, the rain was still so heavy and not so small, the biting north wind was still cold, and under the interference of Lu Wang, Xu Wenjue and Zhu Yujian, who had not been willing to train overnight, also disbanded the team, so that those tired recruits could finally get into the warm quilt, and Nanyang City also began to fall into silence, only the patrol team on duty outside the city occasionally made some movements!
Lu Wang didn't go back to the palace to rest, not because he had a little unpleasantness with King Tang just now, it didn't matter, although everyone thought he was a fairy, but obviously this was a little fairy, he loved to play a little temper, and no one had a little knowledge with him, and he didn't dare to have any opinions, Lu Wang is now the talisman of the Tang family!
The most fundamental reason for not sleeping in the palace is to say it, people must not believe it, they don't believe that a fairy-level character is actually afraid, yes! Lu Wang is just because he is afraid, I don't know why the mansion in the eyes of others in this era feels crazy to him, not to mention the emptiness, so that a modern person sleeping in a house hundreds of years ago has no reason to chill, it is okay in the daytime, as for the night, he doesn't dare to sleep if he is killed, and besides, there is a comfortable sofa bed in the military tent guarded by tens of thousands of horses, why go to the haunted house if you don't sleep!
Since he stayed in the barracks, except for the wounded Zheng Hong and Li Qingshan, everyone else naturally had to stay in the barracks, even Zhu Yujian, who was the former king of the Tang Dynasty, was no exception, because he was now a Chinese soldier, and it was not uncommon for this product to love marching and fighting, and it was not uncommon for him to go back to the palace to stay, and it was right to live in the barracks!
Fierce as a tiger and Liu Guangzuo do not belong to Lu Wang's subordinates, so they naturally won't stay on the city wall at this time and go back to the house early to rest in the cold wind like ordinary soldiers, but there is a person who can't sleep after tossing and turning. Needless to say, this person is naturally Xu Wenjue!
Xu Wenjue really couldn't sleep, because there were too many facts in his heart, and it didn't matter if he was homesick and missing his mother, he was full of enthusiasm and was ready to follow Lu Wang to do a great job and promote the prestige of the Xu family, which was the thing he was most excited about and thought about the most, but the most pressing thing in front of him was his younger brother Xu Wuhou!
Until now, Xu Wuhou has been missing for a day and has not heard from him, as a sibling brother, thinking about the way his mother tearfully told him to take care of his younger brother before leaving, he feels that his heart is about to break, if the signal is not good, or he is lost, he believes that tomorrow the eldest brother will be able to find it back. But what if...... As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he sat up, walked to the door of the tent, lit a cigarette, and smoked it, and the Lou Wan inside was already sleeping like a dead pig!
In the mountain forest twenty miles northwest of Nanyang City, there is a curved small cave about ten meters long on a steep slope, the bonfire is running in the cave, the heating is full, and there are more than 20 people lying around against the mountain wall, and everyone has a tired look on their faces. It can even be seen that the mood is relatively low!
The entrance of the cave has been completely blocked with gravel and dead grass from branches and branches, and the cave is curved, even if it is the fire in the cave in the dark night, it is difficult for people outside to find it, not to mention that there are four armed team members at the entrance of the cave, vigilantly probing through the cracks in the branches!
"This is a p, come out to find out the information. I got lost, not to mention that I was arrested by a big search, Brother Ma, what should we do, now it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch, is it possible to wait for death in this hole? Xu Wuhou reclined and looked at Ma Han on the other side of the fire with a cigarette in his mouth and said!
"Blame who? May I ask the second young master of the Xu family who is to blame for this. It's not that you are delicate, otherwise we wouldn't be so embarrassed now", Mahan choked with disdain. Xu Wuhou was a little angry, but he couldn't refute it, this matter really had something to do with him!
Time regressed to the early hours of yesterday morning, Ma Han led ten team members, plus Xu Wuhou's ten family members a total of twenty-two people, originally ordered to take advantage of the darkness to find out the layout of the thief army around Nanyang City, and the group crossed the Baihe River and went straight to the south gate of the city, and then detoured to the west gate.
In this way, Ma Han can also be considered to have figured out, three of the four city gates of Nanyang City are surrounded, the east side is clear at a glance across their rivers, the north gate is the main force, and it can be seen clearly with a telescope from a distance, and the west gate is now also clear, and the number of tens of thousands of formations is not small, it could have been withdrawn immediately at this time, but when the group was preparing to retreat in concealment, they suddenly found a mountain due west of the fire, which made Ma Han's heart quickly tighten!
"Could it be that there are thieves stationed over there?" When he asked this question, Xu Wuhou, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, and had not yet enjoyed the investigation, immediately proposed to go over and take a look, anyway, he was idle, and the two brothers hit it off and quickly rushed to the northwest!
It doesn't matter if you go, there is a way to watch the mountains run dead horses, not to mention that it is difficult to walk at night, and you have to be careful not to expose your whereabouts, and when the group arrived, the sky was already bright, so I had to find a miscellaneous forest to hide and temporarily rest, and by the way, I took out the binoculars to watch the bloody battle in Nanyang City!
"It seems that Nanyang City is about to be broken", at least at the beginning of the war, Ma Han and Xu Wuhou both thought so, and their emotions were also very affected, but they could only watch, not to mention that they couldn't help now, but they could just add twenty more corpses with more than 20 of them in the past!
"Let's do our thing well, even if the city is lost, it doesn't matter, when the young master comes back, it won't be a matter of minutes for our army to take it back", Mahan bit his lip and began to boost morale!
The first person to be encouraged was naturally Xu Wuhou, a die-hard fan of Lu Wang, who immediately smiled when he heard this, "That's it, as soon as my eldest brother arrives, he will destroy these thieves with a raised hand, by the way, Brother Ma, do you ask if my eldest brother has arrived?" ”
It was only at this time that Ma Han found that the walkie-talkie signal could not be connected, this place is more than 20 miles away from Nanyang City and is a mountainous area, intermittently I really can't hear what the other party is saying and I have to give up, everyone discussed for a while, first find out the situation on the mountain in front of them!
This mountain is called Mo Mountain, after secretly raiding and catching a few thieves, I finally found out that there are more than 30,000 people stationed on this mountain, and it is a thief leader under Luo Rucai who is stationed, and now half of them are transferred to attack the city!
Seeing that it was done so easily, everyone was overjoyed. A small piece of news came out of the captive's mouth, that is, a few miles away in Yangshan also stationed a thief army of tens of thousands, and more importantly, there is also a thief army in Tazi Mountain, which is directly north of Moshan, it is said that there are many people and horses, and the origin is also very large, but the details are unknown!
Whether to go or not, Tazi Mountain, the mountain is high and densely forested, there is still a long distance from Moshan Mountain, and it has entered the vast mountain range. The thieves are all over the mountain, there are open piles and secret posts everywhere, and if one is accidentally exposed, it will be miserable!
But young people have an adventurous spirit in their hearts, not to mention that this kind of game of spying in the mountains and forests is simply too exciting, Xu Wuhou has never walked so far on the mountain road when he is so big, although he is tired and almost falling apart, but he is still very interested and keeps persuading Ma Han, who is a little hesitant, "Brother Ma, if you don't figure it out, go back like this, it's a shame, come here and do a beautiful job." When the provincial brother turned around, my eldest brother asked us if we didn't know, will there be a face in the pro-guard team in the future, and the people in the reconnaissance company will not laugh stupidly if they know it! ”
Ma Han, who was already young and vigorous, could not bear his stimulation and gritted his teeth. "Brothers, let's go!" So he slaughtered a few thieves and took prisoners, and immediately ran into the mountains! It's just that they don't know that their whereabouts are starting to be exposed!
The revelations were not because they were seen by the thieves, but because the thieves had calculated empirically, first discovering that a few sentries were missing and then soon found the bodies that had not been concealed, which was already a big suspicion. Don't forget that these thieves have been chased by officers and soldiers for more than ten years and are scurrying around in the mountains and forests, and the jungle warfare is definitely no worse than that of the Vietnamese monkeys, and just based on the traces around the murder, it is immediately inferred how many people there are on the other side. In which direction did it go, and so a pursuit began!
At this time, it is already winter, although the mountains are high and the forests are dense, but the leaves are also falling, the overall vision is very broad, as long as you are a little careful, whether you are chasing or being pursued, you will quickly find the other party's figure, but at this point, Ma Han and Xu Wenjue showed their true colors at this time, and rookies are rookies!
You must know that Ma Han and others were originally just refugees begging in the city, and they were just ordinary people who farmed the land earlier, even if they later followed Rwan's southern and northern wars, but the main task was to protect Rwan's safety in addition to being a trump card at a critical moment, and what they did was all the kind of face-to-face face-to-face confrontation, as for Xu Wuhou, to put it bluntly, he was a gentleman, that is, a rich second generation who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun, and ask for flowers and willows, and was a rookie among rookies in the war. Therefore, in the face of the year-old bandits chasing behind, these rookies didn't know anything, and they were still panting slowly along the way to watch the scenery, climb the steep slope, and scold the mother without paying any attention to the danger behind it!
This is the biggest difference between professional and non-professional If it is handed over to the team of Liang Ping, a reconnaissance company from a bandit, to do this, there are at least a hundred ways to cover up his whereabouts, and even if he is discovered, there will be a hundred ways to escape, of course, the current Liang Ping's team has entered the deep mountains in the north to touch the nest of Li Zicheng in Zishan, where is it to care about these rookie things!
But stupid people have stupid blessings, Mahan and his party sighed and sighed and crossed the mountains and mountains, although they didn't know that the danger was behind them, but it was not so easy to chase the soldiers, after all, they wasted a period of time from discovering that the sentry was missing to finding the body, and left with the dispatch of troops to search for Mahan and the others, and when they approached, this group of fools finally found out!
It was Xu Wenjue's family who discovered the thief army, and these ten family members, led by Xu San, had to be cautious and cautious to protect the second young master of the Xu family, even more careful than Ma Han's more than ten loaded guns and top-notch guards, so they finally found the thief soldiers when they just stepped into the Tazi Mountain realm at three o'clock in the afternoon!
However, it was just that the garrison patrol of Tazi Mountain was found, and they still didn't know anything about the pursuers behind, but even so, it still made the team members lie in a cold sweat and hurriedly lay in the grass and didn't dare to move, "I'm going to go alone, it seems that this place must be the head of the big thief stationed, otherwise there won't be so many patrols, you see, there are three waves of patrols in less than ten minutes", Ma Han said in a low voice in the grass!
"We're careless, we shouldn't have come here in such a black suit, we should have worn that camouflage uniform! This special black dress is too conspicuous", Xu Wuhou whispered in Ma Han's ear, Ma Han nodded, "It's useless to say this now, it's hard to go back and change your body, big guys are careful", said and suddenly smiled, "I said that Xu Er Shao in case this mountain is a big thief, let's find a chance to do it or catch it, what do you say the young master will reward us!" ”
"Hehe, it's not important to have a reward, it's important to have a meritorious medal, that thing has a long face, as for the reward,,, hehe, my Xu family is not bad for money, buddy doesn't care!" Xu Wuhou's face lit up, and Ma Han, who listened to it, looked envious, "Then if you really make meritorious service, the rewards will be given to me, and the meritorious service will be given to you!" ”
"Deal, that's all!" Xu Wuhou said with a smile, stretched out his hand and slapped his palm lightly with Ma Han.
"It seems that this place is not suitable for a long time, let's find a place to hide and wait for dark to come out to fish", Nima is still some distance away from the mountain, why are there so many patrols, looking at the patrol team that shuttles constantly within 100 meters, Mahan is completely dumbfounded, who is on this special mountain!
It's so easy to hide and hide, and it is so easy to avoid the patrol team to find a hidden place, but under the careful groping of everyone, I finally found a hidden place, a soil hole, a badger pig hole! One meter high, staggered vertical and horizontal, intricate soil holes, after shooting six or seven badger pigs with crossbows, everyone hastily cleaned up the hole and drilled in, ready to go out in the dark!
Just, just! The smell in the soil cave is simply not a place for people to stay, the badger pig book is full of stinky and open defecation in the hole, although it is winter, but the accumulated years of aging in it almost stunned everyone, fortunately, there are cigarettes on the body, everyone can relieve it with a mouth, otherwise it will be directly choked!
Time flies very slowly, only half an hour for a person who can't hold on, needless to say that it is naturally Xu Wuhou who has been eating and drinking since childhood, as for Ma Han's bitter haha, although it can't be said that he has long been accustomed to these smells, he is also repulsive but acceptable, but Xu Gongzi is really not good, no matter how Ma Han dissuades this head, he also shakes it to a rattle, "No, I'll just go out to catch my breath, otherwise I'll faint if I don't vomit immediately", Xu Wuhou said and covered his mouth and bent over and rushed out of the hole, Xu San behind him hurriedly followed!
Wow, Xu Wuhou, who had just come out of the pig hole, couldn't help but spit out, choking on tears and about to flow out, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and looked up suddenly, I wiped it! He was dumbfounded for a moment, because the dozen or so people standing in front of him who were obviously also dumbfounded were thieves! And one of them was covered with vomit, needless to say that it was the masterpiece of the second young man of the Xu family, at this time, the lucky thief army really stared at him with a disgusting face, "Oh, it's a shame, it turned out to be hiding here", saying that the steel knife in his hand slashed at Xu Wuhou's head, and Xu Wenjue, who was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, was stunned all of a sudden, and stood stupidly for people to cut!
