Section 137 Night Killing
Chen Lu's words made Yu Yonghe almost lose his breath. I want to get angry, but what people say is reasonable, you want to find fault, but you are helpless.
Yu Yonghe sighed and had no choice but to continue to sit under the tree.
Chen Lu was silent for a moment and continued: "Lord Yu, the last general knows that you are concerned about the suppression of bandits. However, there are many particularities in this march and war, and the most taboo is to do whatever you want. If we attack rashly, if we are surprised by the mountain bandits, they will either flee or fight to the death. Whatever the outcome, it would be a big loss for us...... We'll just have to wait a moment and act when night falls. They are in the open and we are in the dark, we only need to attack them unprepared and take them by surprise, so that we can not only wipe out the thieves, but also reduce our losses, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. Now all we have to do is avoid startling the snake. ”
Yu Yonghe has always been a feudal official, and Chen Lu knew that he could not offend him too much, so his words were extremely natural and his tone was much smoother.
Yu Yonghe calmed down a little when he heard this. secretly said: I still need to rely on this person to lead the troops to rescue Yu Yu...... You can't really get too stiff with him.
He said: "This official may be too anxious to suppress the bandits, and his words are a little inappropriate. General Chen is thoughtful and tired!"
It was soon dark, and Chen Lu made the sergeant prepare the title, wrapped his horse, and sneaked to Dogya Ridge in the night.
When I got down the hillside, I saw that there were a few fires on the hillside, which were extremely obvious in the dark night!
Chen Lu looked around and said softly: "Lord Yu, there may be a fierce battle later, you ...... You'd better stay down the hill and I'll send a team of brothers to protect you......"
If it were normal, Yu Yonghe would definitely not be involved in this kind of thing, they all said that the sword has no eyes, and if it hurts his body bones, it will be bad. This time is different, after all, Yu Yu may be on the mountain, in case someone in the chaotic army hurts Yu Yu, it will be trouble!
Yu Yonghe stubbornly said: "This official was appointed by the imperial court to suppress bandits, how can he only watch from a distance...... Doesn't this chill the hearts of the soldiers? General Chen doesn't have to worry about his own officer, who will go all out to kill the thief!"
Chen Lu secretly sighed, Yu Yonghe's words are good, isn't he afraid that he won't get credit? If he wants to go, he can't stop him.
Chen Lu dropped two capable soldiers to protect Yu Yonghe's side, and then said hello, and the three hundred sergeants abandoned their horses and walked on foot, and quietly touched the light.
When he was about to reach the grass hut, Chen Lu waved his hand, and when even five people touched him, he leaned low and walked to the window.
One person stretched out his finger and gently pierced the window paper. Raised his eyes and glanced in. Then he turned around, raised four fingers, replaced them with three, and then shook his fist in a circle.
Chen Lu said softly: "There are seven people in it, and there are weapons. ”
Chen Lu nodded a few people on his side, followed by the five people in front, and surrounded the thatched hut.
Several more teams were sent to quietly touch the other huts at the same time.
Just as the sergeant was about to encircle the hut, a man suddenly stepped out of a hut, and the man, thinking that he was in a hurry, opened the door, and rushed straight to the grass not far away, and untied his trouser belt to relieve himself.
Suddenly, the man seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly shouted: "The wind is blowing......
He shouted as he ran, and he didn't have time to lift his pants.
After running a few steps, a sergeant rushed forward and died with a sword piercing his chest.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the hut immediately became noisy...... Some people have rushed out of the house with knives!
Chen Lu slapped his thigh, regretting that this action had fallen short.
Now that you've been discovered, you don't have to hide your body.
Chen Lu stood up and shouted: "Brothers, kill the bandits with all your might, and rush ...... with me."
When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, what was originally a extinguishing operation turned into a scuffle because one person suddenly broke out.
For a while, there were shouts of killing, shouting, and wailing on the Dogtooth Ridge...... Mix it up.
Chen Lu commanded the sergeants to attack in an orderly manner, and the Ninghai Fu army was well-trained after all, and as soon as they clashed, the group of mountain bandits had already collapsed.
Yu Yonghe dragged behind, and led two soldiers to search in the hut.
I found two rooms, and I didn't see Yu Yu. When he was about to go to see the third hut, two thieves rushed out of the oblique stab, holding sabers and slashing at Yu Yonghe.
Yu Yonghe saw the bright big knife, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again. Two sergeants next to him met the two with swords.
Yu Yonghe took advantage of this opportunity to turn around and jump into the hut near the left, and only when he was sure that he was safe did he secretly look out.
But when he saw the two people who were following him, he instantly hung up. One injured his arm, and the other was slashed in the thigh by a thief.
The two of them were in a crisis of love, but fortunately, four Ning Haijun rushed to the front to help in the battle, and in the blink of an eye, the two thieves were cut to the ground.
Blood gushed and corpses were dumbfounded.
Yu Yonghe stared at the two thieves who fell to the ground and died, but felt that the bloodshot eyes seemed to be staring at him, and his body seemed to be pulled into hell by those eyes. Yu Yonghe, who was shocked, shuddered all over his body, and hurriedly closed his eyes and looked away, hoping to take the opportunity to find Yu Yu's location!
It's pitch black all around, and you can tell the difference clearly.
In the light of the fire, I saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and a few stumps fell nearby, and the blood was gurgling and flowing, just like the cuckoos in full bloom on the mountain.
Yu Yonghe was so frightened that he was afraid that he would lose his life because of this, so he hid in the hut and shivered, not daring to act at will.
Seeing that they couldn't resist it, the group of thieves greeted them a few times and scattered and fled back to the mountains.
Chen Lu ordered people to pursue first, and he led people to clean up the battlefield, and by the way, searched for whether there were still any survivors.
Yu Yonghe caught a glimpse of the end of the battle, so he slowly walked out of the hut and searched for several other houses one by one, but Yu Yu was still nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Chen Lu was quite suspicious: "Lord Yu, what are you looking for?"
Yu Yonghe pretended to be calm and said: "This official wants to see if there are any remnants of mountain bandits...... lest you let go of this group of bandits!"
Chen Lu suddenly felt funny, just now when he killed the enemy, he had already seen Yu Yonghe's stumbling bear clearly. Since Yu Yonghe didn't want to say it, Chen Lu couldn't ask again.
The military academy here came to report: "General, twelve enemies were killed, and our army was wounded ten people, and one person was seriously wounded." The remaining bandits, numbering about 20 people, fled to the Houshan Xiehe River. ”
Chen Lu said: "Gather the army, leave twenty people to take care of the wounded, and the rest of the people will chase and kill with me." Remember, if you have the chance, try to stay alive. ”
Chen Lu paused, glanced at Yu Yonghe beside him, and asked, "Lord Yu, why don't you stay here?"
Yu Yonghe looked at the piles of corpses and was terrified. He had seen so many dead people there, and he was not at the scene when the post house fire was burning a few days ago, and he was dizzy and almost fell down when he looked at the pile of stumps and broken legs.
With these corpses as companions, it would be a nightmare, not to mention that he had to look for Yu Yu.
Yu Yonghe panicked: "This official ...... This officer should go with the army!"
Chen Lu said hello.
He came out of the barracks, and he looked down on Yu Yonghe from the bottom of his bones. All of them have big shoulders and round waists, big bellies, and do all the things that flies and dogs.
The army continued to move forward, chasing the fleeing thieves as fast as they could.
When they reached the back mountain and the sloping river, the army converged with more than a dozen people in the front team.
Chen Lu asked the leading centurion, "How?"
The centurion said: "General, I lost the whereabouts of the thief when I chased here, and I think I crossed the river!"
"What's going on with the Sloping River?"
"Fang envoy probed down, the deepest part was not above the knee!"
Chen Lu asked people to raise a fire to illuminate the surface of the river, but they saw that the level of the Xiehe River was stable, and the water was clear and sparkling, sliding like silk. Small stones on the surface of the river intersect with the water, making a gurgling sound of running water.
The river is not wide, about two feet long. I think it is because the flood season has not yet arrived, and most of the rivers have no flowing water.
"The front team crosses the river, and the rear team guards! After crossing the river, the front team defends, and the rear team crosses again!"
The army listened to the order, and even more than 100 people rolled up their trouser legs and crossed the river.
Chen Lu said again: "Lord Yu, look?" The implication is that if you continue to follow the army, you will also have to wade through the river by yourself.
Yu Yonghe smiled bitterly, took off his official boots, and gently tried the water.
It's so cool...... Yu Yonghe, who was cool, snorted.
"General Chen doesn't have to worry about his own official, his official will cross the river!"
Yu Yonghe only has this trace of arrogance as an official!,
Suddenly, a cannon rang out, the ground shook, and the sound of a dragon roaring was heard in the distance, and the waves in the river flowed backwards. Everyone only felt a shock under their feet, and they didn't know when it happened, but they all stopped and looked around.
This part of the river was already low-lying, and the flowing water flowed backwards for a few seconds, and suddenly there was a huge ripple, and after the ripples, the river poured in a thunderous momentum, and there was no gurgling water before.
I saw the surging waves, five or six meters high, like ten thousand dragons, roaring and speeding from the upstream river.
When the soldiers of the front team who crossed the river saw this, their faces were panicked, and they threw away their armor and crawled in the hope of escaping to the shore.
At this time, a few zhang of the river, crowded with more than 100 people, wanted to retreat, but where did they have time to retreat, the river water was irrigated, like thousands of horses galloping. When the people on the board howled and roared, but the people who fell into the water waved their arms and shouted for help, and in a blink of an eye they were washed away by the river, and the latecomers on the shore turned on their horses, and fled everywhere in all directions, lest they escape slowly, and they were swallowed up by this ruthless water dragon, and the wilderness was full of wailing sounds, which was very miserable.
But where did you escape......
The water and fire are ruthless, and the water dragon washes in without hesitation, giving people no hope......
When Chen Lu heard the sound of the cannon, he secretly screamed badly. By the time they raised their voices and shouted for retreat, it was too late.
He immediately picked up Yu Yonghe and led the sergeants in the rear team to return to the slope as soon as possible......
Looking back, the surging river was rolling down, and where was the shadow of the soldiers in the front team......
Chen Lu was full of remorse, I am afraid that this is falling into the enemy's ambush......
The thought fell, and another whistle was heard. Countless fires suddenly lit up in the forest, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and for a while, I don't know how many people rushed out of the forest!
