Chapter 8: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Qiu Tianqi led nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers in the pro-military camp, and it can be said that the horse infantry army came out together, holding a strong bow and a hard crossbow to search around outside the city of Yingtianfu Mansion for a whole day, and did not find the slightest trace of the savage boy.

Ying Tianfu's government office, which was informed by the young general soldier Qiu Tianqi, naturally did not dare to slack off, and all the catchers and officials were dispatched, almost door-to-door search, and the so-called bronzed boy with animal skin around his waist and looked like a savage was found.

In the evening, Qiu Tianqi collected his troops and returned to the camp, hesitated for a while in the military camp outside the city, and finally decided to return to the city and go back to the general military mansion for the night.

When Qiu Tianqi led a small group of personal soldiers back to the general military mansion in the city, he had just finished washing, and before he could sit down and drink tea, he received a message from the military camp outside the city.

"Qi Yu Young Commander, the commander of the pro-military battalion, General Wu Lingshan was killed while patrolling outside the battalion. ”

When Chang Chang, the teacup in Qiu Tianqi's hand fell to the ground and was instantly shattered.

"Say it again!"

"General Wu Lingshan was attacked and killed. ”

"Who did it?"

Qiu Tianqi knew that he was knowingly asking, but he didn't know why he was asking, and he shouted it out loud.

"It's the wild boy with a waist and a hide. ”

"What about people?"

After stoning General Wu Lingshan to death, he killed dozens of soldiers who intercepted him, and finally escaped into the night. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Tianqi didn't know whether his decision to go back to the city for the night was wise or wrong.

After sending the messenger out, after dinner, he pondered alone in the living room for a long time, and was just about to go to bed, when the second group of messengers sent by the military camp outside the city arrived.

"Report--, Lord Young Commander-in-Chief. ”

"Speak. ”

"The barracks outside the city were set on fire, especially the pro-soldier barracks, which suffered heavy casualties. ”

"Why?!"

"Some people hid in the shadows and used bows and arrows to shoot the soldiers who escaped from the fire, so the battalion of 800 people has suffered more than half of the casualties so far. ”

"Bastard!"

Qiu Tianqi didn't know whether he was scolding the savage boy or the incompetence of the officers and soldiers. had to dress up neatly, lead the small group of personal guards, and call open the city gate overnight to go to the camp outside the city. In the distance, you can see the flames soaring into the sky, and hear the screams of the soldiers who have been hit by the arrows.

"The last general will see the young commander. ”

"Why don't you send troops to search for the man who shoots an arrow in the dark?"

"The arrows seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was impossible to pinpoint their exact location. Four teams of 100 people were sent one after another, and all of them returned with more than half of the casualties. ”

"How can it be justified? Pro-barracks assemble!"

In less than half an hour, the pro-military camp was assembled and stood in front of Qiu Tianqi, but what he didn't expect was that counting the lightly wounded, there were less than three hundred people in total, and the casualties exceeded five hundred.

"Yu Dian!"

"The end will be. ”

"Lead people to place deer, scatter thistles around the barracks, and archers are on call at any time. ”

"Yes. ”

I saw that the fire in the camp had been brought under control, and it was pitch black all around. In the case of not knowing where the savage boy was hiding, he could only make a living target for the other party if he attacked rashly. So Qiu Tianqi suddenly changed his mind. According to the confrontation between the two armies, they arranged it as if they were facing a great enemy, and prepared to wait for the night and wait until dawn the next day, and then mobilize the whole battalion of nearly 30,000 horses to go out, and the savage boy must be caught and broken into pieces.

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a scream from the barracks, which had just fallen silent. It turned out to be a sentry who was careless for a moment, and was pierced through the chest by an arrow shot in the dark, and the last bit of voice left subconsciously before dying.

In this way, the long and torturous night finally passed in this intermittent scream. By daybreak, twenty-three more soldiers had been shot and killed.

Qiu Tianqi, who was angry, immediately issued an order, except for the 1,000 people who were left to guard the camp, the remaining 27,000 people were all dispatched to search for the wild man boy with the waist around the animal skin. In order to encourage the soldiers, Qiu Tianqi specially set a heavy reward:

Those who find the savage boy will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver;

Whoever shoots an arrow at a savage boy will be awarded five hundred taels of silver;

Whoever kills a savage boy will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold;

Those who capture the savage boy alive will be awarded three hundred taels of gold.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and after learning that there is a rich reward, the soldiers all cheered and fought bravely.

It's just that, to everyone's disappointment, at the end of the day, let alone the savage boy, I didn't even see a shadow.

"Young Chief Soldier, when will the Chief Soldier come back?"

Although the generals did not dare to openly oppose Qiu Tianqi's actions, the dissatisfaction in their hearts could still be seen from their expressions. Therefore, when he couldn't bear it, Wei Shaofeng, the deputy chief soldier, was the first to speak.

"The chief soldier entered the capital to report on his work, but he has only been gone for a month, so I'm afraid he has just arrived in the capital at this time, right?"

"Doesn't that mean it will take more than a month to come back?"

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with Deputy General Wei?"

"Don't the young commander-in-chief feel that what he has done recently has violated the regulations of the army? It can be said that the use of the pro-barracks a few days ago is somewhat reasonable, and it is necessary to have a military department to mobilize all the officers and men of the general barracks today. ”

"Hmph, doesn't the general know the rules and regulations in the army?! All the consequences will be borne by the whole force, and there is no need for others to talk more. ”

Everyone understands the stubborn temperament of this young commander, and because the Qiu family's backers in the court are too hard, no one wants to offend them unless they have to. Therefore, seeing that Qiu Tianqi couldn't listen to the advice, except for the deputy general of the pro-military battalion, the rest of the people dispersed for a while.

"General Yu has a good plan?"

Qiu Tianqi was really a headache by the savage boy, and he originally wanted to gather the generals to discuss countermeasures, but the words were scattered without speculation.

"Young General Soldier, if the general's guess is correct, the savage boy must have come for the 10,000-year-old meat Lingzhi. ”

"So what?"

"Since the young general soldier wants to dedicate the 10,000-year-old meat lingzhi to the emperor, why not take this opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Go on. ”

"When does the young general plan to send the 10,000-year-old meat lingzhi to the capital?"

"Originally, I wanted to wait for the chief soldier to come back, but now it seems that I can only advance. ”

The threat from the savage boy became more and more urgent, and Qiu Tianqi did not dare to continue to leave the 10,000-year-old meat lingzhi in Yingtianfu. At the same time, by sending the 10,000-year-old meat lingzhi into Beijing, you can also temporarily hide from the crazy savage boy.

"That's just the right thing to do. From Yingtianfu to the capital, two days later entered the mountains. If you start in the morning, you must spend the night in the evening of the next day. Isn't that a godsend?"

When Yu Dian said this, he looked at Qiu Tianqi with an expression of imperativeness, and at the same time clenched his fists hard.

"Well, that's good. Lured him into the first line of heaven with the 10,000-year-old meat lingzhi, and the bow and crossbowmen who had been ambushed in advance shot up and down together, even the gods could not escape death. Okay, that's it. ”
