Chapter 77: Fire Meter

Bao Qing didn't answer, he asked Zhan Zhao, Jin Wandao and others to quickly organize the team to leave. At the same time, I am worried that there is no so-called talent in the team to lead the team.

"You mean, what's wrong with my father!" Cao Yun asked with tears in her eyes.

Bao Qing was helpless, so she had to whisper in her ear: "Your father was besieged by the Liao army, and Wu Jun, the head of the Bazhou battalion, was assassinated, and the purpose of our visit is to save your father and investigate the case, so we must speed up!" ”

"Why? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Cao Yun's stubborn face was filled with tears, and she almost questioned Bao Qing.

"Do you think you can save your daddy? Do you know where he is besieged? Do you know how you saved him? Bao Qing was anxious and didn't want to explain more, so he asked anxiously.

Cao Yun didn't speak, but Bao Qing said categorically: "You can't save it at all, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military didn't think of a way, so they sent me out." I'll tell you the truth, I don't even have a layer of certainty, but if you still drag your feet and keep ordering, I tell you, this layer of certainty is gone! ”

When Cao Yun heard this, she bit her lip, nodded, and immediately turned on the horse's back, raised the whip, and shouted loudly: "All the women's troops get on the horse and obey the order, and in the future, Brother Bao will be your general, and everyone has to listen to his orders." ”

Bao Qing led the team all the way to Bazhou. Cao Yun followed Bao Qing all the way, and she didn't say much all the way, because she saw that Bao Qing was pondering all the way, as if she was thinking about something, and she didn't dare to disturb.

Suddenly, Bao Qing nodded thoughtfully and said, "It turned out to be you!" Qiu Xiong! ”

"Qiu Xiong?" Zhan Zhao finally saw Bao Qing speak, "Isn't that the owner of Haoxing Casino?" ”

"Zhanzhao, do you remember what we asked the painter to draw of what Lehi's butler described, the guy who bought him to change warm tea to hot tea?"

"I remember, but I don't look right!" Zhan Zhao said.

"Looks can change, but eyes can't! This Qiu Xiong's eyes are very unique, gloomy and have a feeling of seeing people through. I now have to admire that artist's painting skills! ”

"No, my lord, I see that person directly knocked Cao Yun to the ground with one dark hand, it is the giant thief Tie Kun. It's just that this person has disappeared for a while. Did you change your face and become the owner of that casino? Zhan Zhao said.

"Regardless of the rest, this man is likely to be the direct murderer who poisoned Lehi. This makes me suspicious, Lu Yijian, the old fox, may not be the mastermind of killing Lehi, but this old fox seems to know many things, and he is just a help in the process of killing Lehi, and there may be someone else who did it. "The more Bao Qing thinks about it, the more suspicious he becomes, where is the plum blossom gang? Did the Plum Blossom Gang do it? What is the purpose?

Bao Qing thought all the way, at this time, Wang Dynasty drove over and asked: "My lord, there is a small hill ahead, and there are mostly dead wood jungles all the way here, the road is not clear, and the subordinates see that it is getting late, can they camp?" ”

"How far is it from Bazhou City?" Bao Qing asked.

"It's about half a day away." Cao Yun said timidly.

"All up the hill and set up camp! Cao Yun, what do you think? I haven't been on the battlefield, and you didn't do this camping and arranging guards? Bao Qing asked.

"Good!" Cao Yun responded.

Bao Qing didn't want Cao Yun to be too worried and appear preoccupied, which would affect things. Looking at Cao Yun, who was usually extremely straightforward, turning around silently, Bao Qing suddenly thought of Cao Yun's dignified and introverted sister Cao Qian.

"Cao Yun! How did your sister enter the palace? Bao Qing couldn't help asking, feeling a little lost in his heart.

"My sister entered the palace by edict, and there were about a dozen daughters of civil and military ministers in the capital who suddenly received an edict to enter the palace."

Bao Qing paused and said, "Oh." ”

This emperor is good, and if he suddenly wants a woman, he will summon people directly into the palace, he is simply a brute, Bao Qing scolded in his heart.

"Camp here tonight, be on guard, and send out a ten-mile sentry!" Cao Yun shouted.

Bao Qing didn't feel at ease when he thought about it, he was not very familiar with the road on his side, and he didn't dare to march at night. So, the dynasty Mahan was recruited.

"The two of you will follow this road, go straight to Bazhou, take the letter of the Qincha seal, and go to the camp of Bazhou to ask for answers." Bao Qing said.

Bao Qing summoned Cao Yun again, and asked to leave the rejection horse at the bottom of the small hill, set up a trap, and let the three crossbowmen take turns to rest, and all the short crossbows were put on the arrow magazine.

It was night, and sure enough, there was a movement under the mountain. I only heard Cao Yunjiao's words: "The thieves are coming, everyone is on alert." ”

Bao Qing knew that Cao Yun got the news that her father was trapped, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to sleep at night. Bao Qing also hurriedly got up, and did not forget to put on the life-saving treasure clothes.

I couldn't see how many people there were in the dark, but if I just looked at the torches, there were about a thousand. Bao Qing couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.

These are all Song people, why do they have to send nearly a thousand people to deal with themselves. And it's still Qincha, and this time is also very good. If I hadn't insisted on choosing to take the bull road, I'm afraid that all of my more than 300 people would have died.

When Bao Qing thought of this, he couldn't help scolding: "These dogs, they have no ability to fight Liao people, but they are risking their lives to fight their own people!" ”

"Brother Bao, I'm afraid it's a vicious battle tonight, if the other party has a rocket and shoots it directly, I'm afraid that we will all be killed in the fire!" Cao Yun whispered, snuggling up to Bao Qing's side.

"Brother Bao, it's not good, there are too many thieves, and it won't take long for them to attack quickly." Zhan Fang hurriedly came up and said.

"Hmph, they want a fire attack, let's have a fire attack first, see who is burned to death." Bao Qing said angrily.

Cao Yun shook her head helplessly and said, "Brother Bao, the use of fire attack, the art of war is cloudy, you must know the direction of the wind." Although there is no rain today, the wind is not in our favor, and if we attack with fire, the wind will blow to the hillside, and we will burn ourselves to ashes first! ”

Bao Qing smiled: "I have a way, you go and prepare a large number of rockets first." Zhanfang, you send someone to clear all the dead wood and branches in front of our camp, and you want to form a space of nearly one zhang. If time permits, some trenches can be dug. The aim was to separate the camp from the dead woods. ”

After Bao Qing finished speaking, he personally followed Cao Yun to the front of the camp to cheer up the soldiers.

"My lord, how can you take the risk yourself?" Jin Wandao said.

"It doesn't matter, just hold on for a moment longer, although you can't see clearly at night, but you can't let the arrows go indiscriminately, and the crossbow arrows are not usable. Wait until you see the thief and use it again, get close and cut it directly. Bao Qing instructed, he didn't want to be like Cao Cao, the fog was too big to see clearly, so he released 100,000 arrows, but the enemy didn't kill them, so a lot of arrows were wasted.

About a moment later, more than ten zhang away in front of the camp, the sound of killing shook the sky. Apparently all the traps have been removed, and only the front of the camp is left to reject the horses. Bao Qing was a little nervous, and hurriedly asked how the preparations were.

Cao Yun was a little impatient, so close with torches, he could already see the enemy approaching the camp. I saw her shoot with her bow open, and as soon as the bowstring sounded, I heard a scream.

"The rejection horse has almost been demolished, my lord, let's kill it, if we don't kill it, we will hit the camp, and there is still a pile of grain and grass." Jin Wandao said.

Bao Qing had to nod and said, "You must be careful, I will let the bow and arrow cooperate with you!" ”

After Jin Wandao received the order, he and Zhanzhao had already rushed out with two hundred guards, and after a while, there was a loud killing sound in front of him.

Cao Yun also wanted to rush forward to fight, but saw that Bao Qing had no one to escort him, and Zhanfang was not there, so he had to stay.

Bao Qing didn't think so much at this time, his brows were furrowed, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

"Yun'er, come and be quiet, how can you see that these thieves have such a way of killing the enemy?" Bao Qing saw that the group of thieves close to the camp were in groups of four or five, and the killing was extremely methodical, and his own Qincha guards were far behind. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"Ah, these people are the army, and only soldiers can train like this. Moreover, in my opinion, it is a border army, and the general forbidden army and the box army do not have such combat effectiveness. Cao Yun was also surprised.

Bao Qing thought that when he saw the thief led by Qiu Xiong, he thought that the killer and bandit who attacked him might be some kind of killer or bandit like the Plum Blossom Gang. When Qiu Xiong was killing himself in Niu Bendao, he didn't have much of the same situation as the last time he was assassinated in Changchang County. Wasn't that what Jin Wandao and Zhanzhao were like just now?

But now, this enemy who wants to attack the hillside is not like that at all. Cao Yun said that it was a border army, maybe it was very likely. Could it be a soldier from this Bazhou? Some of them didn't want Qin Cha to go to Bazhou alive, so they sent troops to intercept and kill.

Thinking of this, Bao Qing secretly screamed that it was not good, if this is the case, wouldn't Wang Dynasty Mahan go into the mouth of a sheep?

At this time, Zhanfang came to tell Bao Qing that the dry branch jungle in front of the camp had basically been cleared. After Bao Qing listened, he immediately asked Cao Yun to release the rocket.

"Shoot the rocket into the middle of the thief team, not too far back, not too far forward. Too far back, the gang saw that there was a fire in the back and there was nowhere to escape, so they would inevitably attack the hillside frantically. If you get too far forward, you will hurt your own people. Divide the thief's team in two. ”

Cao Yun nodded, and in a short time, many rockets crossed the sky and flew straight halfway up the mountain. Suddenly, the dead wood jungle halfway up the hillside caught fire, and the dryness of winter combined with the cold wind blowing towards the hillside caused the fire to rise all at once, and the fire swept directly into the hillside.
