Chapter 6 Task 2: Gaining Trust (Part II)

The storyteller is on the second floor, although Long Thirteen is just a ravine, but the city under the jurisdiction of the thieves is obviously different from the government, although it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, but after all, it is more equal, and the guy did not discriminate against him when he saw Long Thirteen, and he also beckoned him to sit down.

Long Thirteen glanced at the field, and saw that there were not only regular soldiers, but also ravines, baiters, and some ordinary people in the city—it was conceivable that under the jurisdiction of the lantern, the people of Suidezhou City were doing well.

There were a few regular soldiers sitting in the middle position, one of them also wearing a turban with a black yarn folded upwards, most of them were a big leader, I heard that there were five masters in the lantern camp, could it be one of them.

Seeing that his face was dark and his figure was short, Long Thirteen suddenly thought of one person.

"According to the black blind man, among the five masters of the lantern camp, the big boss is naturally Zhao Sheng, the second master is his younger brother Zhao Jiu, the third master is Hui Dengxiang, and the fourth master is a man with the nickname Song Jiang, whose real name is Wang Zhongxiao."

"The fifth master is a hunter, nicknamed 'Flying Leopard', called Qi Yizheng, this person can wear a wing crown and a brocade winter coat, most likely the four masters Song Jiang"

Since it was the fourth master here, Long Thirteen had an extra thought, found a vacant seat against Song Jiang's table and sat down, and spent a hundred yuan to ask for a pot of tea and some pastries.

The tea and pastries were extremely rough, but in Long Shisan's opinion, they were nothing less than a rare delicacy in the world, so he pricked up his ears while drinking tea—Song Jiang's table was whispering, and he was not at all interested in the old storyteller on the stage.

"The four masters, the thirty-five families who have heard of the river are not doing well now, and they are all compressed by the officials and troops in the area of Guji Mountain, and they are in a dilemma?"

(Gu Jishan, later Luliang Mountain)

"Well, it's still the big boss who is eye-catching, and he knows that too many people crossing the river will definitely attract the attention of the government, so he deliberately dragged it behind, but I can't wait here for a long time."

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"You are stupid, if we don't have more than ten rebel brothers in the west, especially the troops of Shen Yikui and Shen Yiyuan brothers, who are all composed of rebellious border troops, almost all the officers and soldiers left in Shaanxi have been attracted to the border between Qingyang Mansion and Ningxia Town, and we can live happily here?"

"I just got the news, the brothers of the Shen family have been defeated, and they are rushing to the capital of Yuan'er, as soon as they are defeated, the good days I have been waiting for will be over, and I can only learn to cross the river to save my life."

"Then which big boss will I go to after I cross the river?"

"It's hard to say, depending on how the big boss chooses, in the north and south of Guji Mountain, the north is headed by the two families of Bu Mu and Cao Cao, and in the middle is the big leader Zijin Liang, with the eight kings and a few others, and the south is the king of Chuang, Gao Yingxiang, with more than ten families such as scorpion blocks."

"In any case, Suide is the closest to Yongning Prefecture City in Shanxi, which is the territory of Zijin Liang, and most of them are going to go directly to him."

"But if you want to go to Yongning Prefecture, you must pass through Wubao County, otherwise you can only take a detour"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about it, the big boss has already made arrangements, all the ravines and baits have been raised these days, these thousands of people, people eat horses and chew, how much grain do they have to consume every day, in order to fight Wubao County!"

Long Thirteen hurriedly left after hearing half of this.

He knew his fate next.

However, the order to attack Wubao County was not given until the eighth day, when Long 13 had been practicing in the martial arts hall for five days, and had already mastered the introductory methods of spears and bows and arrows.

"Get up!"

Early in the morning of the seventh day, the ravines were woken up from their sleep, and others were still ignorant, but Long Thirteen had made sufficient preparations in the past few days.

He spent all the remaining copper coins, in addition to eating and drinking on the street, wandering around, and inquiring about news, he also bought himself a set of second-hand winter clothes, a pair of cloth shoes, a pair of socks, and a few biscuits as dry food, and in order to prevent accidents, he also bought some clean white cloth in the grocery store.

The genius is bright, about a thousand ravines, a thousand bait people stand crookedly in the school field, in front of the ravines standing is the Song Jiang Wang Zhongxiao, and in front of the bait is the five masters "flying leopard" Qi Yizheng, a short and concise hunter.

"Let's go!"

Whether it is Song Jiang or Flying Leopard, there are about 100 horsemen under their command, of course, they are definitely not used to fill the ravines or attack the city, but to suppress the formation.

In the past few days, perhaps because he knew the relationship between Long Thirteen and Zhao Jiu, the ravine where Long Thirteen was located was polite when he saw him, but naturally there were also people who were full of jealousy, and Long Thirteen didn't take it to heart.

Everyone knew the fate of the future, but everyone was silent, eating and drinking for a few days, although there was only half a cake every day, but Long Thirteen weighed it, half a cake is enough to weigh half a catty and four taels, if you save a little food, it is enough to support a day.

And the bait has a cake a day, and he can go into battle to kill the enemy.

Wubao County is on the edge of the Yellow River, about seventy or eighty miles away from Suidezhou City, there is a mountain post road to communicate, they more than 2,000 people drove up, and arrived in Wubao County in two days!

In the past two days, Long Thirteen finally saw the majesty of the regular soldiers in the battalion, that is, the cavalry, they not only have a Ming army's winter red fat jacket, but also iron armor and leather armor to wear, after riding a war horse, holding the reins in one hand and holding a knife and gun in the other, it is very majestic.

These people are said to be able to eat well, but also to receive money, and some of them will also get a share of the young women they have robbed, and they will be happy.

They rarely participate in battles, mainly when they wait until the ravines and baits have consumed the enemy almost and then "take advantage of the situation", that is, pick the fruit, of course, even if it is the fruit picking, you have to have this ability.

As a castle on the edge of the Yellow River, Wubao County obviously has a moat, although it has now frozen, but the ice is not thick, and it still needs to be landfilled.

The military system adopted by the thief team is also varied, some follow the Ming army, and some are self-created, lighting the lamp is following the practice of the Ming army, the smallest unit is the sentry, a sentry 50 people, and the whole ravine has 20 sentry.

After arriving at the north gate of Wubao County, under the leadership of Song Jiang, the gully dispatched four outposts each time, and filled the moat with the straw bags he carried with him.

There are artillery in Wubao County, although there are very few of them, only two or three, and the interval between them is very long, but once that thing sounds, the whole ravine and bait are terrified.

However, due to the small number of shells, and the fact that the ground outside the city has just snowed, it is very slippery, and it is rare for the cannonballs to jump up again after they hit the ground and hurt people again, unless you are too unlucky and are hit directly by a lead bullet.

Long Thirteen saw with his own eyes that a ravine was hit by a lead bullet weighing about five catties, and the lead bullet hit his head right on the head, cutting off half of his head on the spot, one eye was gone, one eye was still open, and the brains in his head were exposed, which was shocking.

There was also a person who was hit in the chest by a lead bullet on the spot, and a large hole was pierced in his chest on the spot, and the lead bullet took away all the internal organs inside, leaving only some intestines exposed, which was even more shocking.

In addition to artillery, arrows and stones on the city walls are also constantly falling, and it is not easy to survive an operation to "fill the ravine".

However, following Song Jiang to Wubao County, it was obvious that they were all ravines after a hundred battles, and they were used to seeing these scenes, and under the urging of the cavalry, they were like robots without stopping to rush to the moat with straw bags, and those with pot lids after throwing down the straw bags ran back desperately with pot lids.

Without a pot lid, you can only resign yourself to fate.

When they return to their home camp, they can get a piece of wood from one of the cavalrymen in the back, which means that you have successfully filled the ravine once.

Today, all ravines need to be completed at least ten times to complete the task, and if there are no ten times, if they die halfway, they will naturally have nothing to say, but if they are only injured and have not completed ten times, they will be cut by the cavalry.

When it was Long Thirteen's turn, he carried a straw bag weighing about fifty catties on his body, and followed the black blind man and rushed forward in one go.

At this time, the artillery in the city just rang out, with a fluttering heart, Long Thirteen could only pray secretly, and then quicken his pace - the cannon is fired from the back, and the closer it is, the less dangerous it is.

Halfway he heard a terrible scream, it is estimated that someone was hit by lead bullets, he didn't care about these, desperately ran forward, these days he in Suidezhou City "extra food" has had an effect, physical strength is obviously better than other ravines, and it didn't take long to run to the range of bows and arrows on the city wall.

At this time, he could only hold the straw bag with his right hand, and with his left hand put the lid of the pot on top of his head, and continued to trot towards the moat.

Finally, we were only one step away from the moat, but it was also the most dangerous time to get here, and the arrows and stones on the city were falling as if they were flying.

Thankfully, the lid was about an inch thick, and after a few arrows and a few rocks, it was still intact, and then quickly ran back against it.

Long Thirteen spent the whole morning in this almost endless "filling in the ravine", at this time, he already had nine pieces of wood in his hand, and he could complete the task after one more run, and the most people left were five or six pieces of wood.

Of course, a large number of people died on the way to carry straw bags, and many people who had worked hard to reach the edge of the moat were hit by bows and arrows and stones from the city, and fell headlong into the moat.

It was winter, and there was very little water in the moat, but the general of the defenders here was obviously a well-versed in the way of defending the city, and he had planted a sharpened wooden stick in the moat early in the morning, and there was only a dead end if he fell into it.

According to Long Thirteen's judgment, in one morning, forty percent of the people had died in the ravines or on the way to fill the ravines.

"Brother Rong", this time, I saw that the black blind man and the young man who was usually used as a woman by the ravines came up with a hippie smile.

"What?"

Both of them had strange smiles, but Ryujusan didn't think much more.

"Can we go together this time, don't leave me waiting"

Long Thirteen nodded, although the goal of the three of them together was very big, but he had a pot lid, and he could still resist one or two.

The three of them set off at the same time, and under their drag, Long Thirteen's pace slowed down significantly, but this time the artillery under the city stopped, and their arrows were obviously limited.

Presumably they wanted to keep the arrows to deal with the bait who was preparing to attack the city.

Therefore, the three of them arrived at a moat that had not yet been filled with straw bags, at this time, Long Thirteen could no longer care about the two of them, and rushed straight forward, but this time, these two people also let go, just a little slower than him.

"Pounce!"

Dragon Thirteen threw the last bag of dirt into the so-called moat, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief......

However, he was kicked before he could turn around, and in northern Shaanxi on a snowy day, under the trampling of the ravines, the ground was already muddy, and Long Thirteen immediately fell into the moat!

At this time, this section of the moat has not yet been completely filled, and there is still a lot of pointed wood exposed!

"Pounce"

This is the sound of at least three pieces of wood piercing oneself and piercing it.

Long Thirteen did not die immediately, he saw the young man holding the lid of his pot, covering the black blind man to get the package that was still on his body, and then as soon as his eyes closed, he knew nothing.

......

"Emulator Restarting"

"Simulator restart is 60% complete"

"Simulator restart 80% complete"

"Simulator reboot 100% complete"

"Dragon Thirteen, Strength 31, Commander 26, Agility 29, Luck 30, Wisdom 29"

"Dragon Thirteen, this is a second-level quest, you can start again from the moment before you die, the assignment remains the same, of course, you can also choose to start again from other places, but the assignment will be greatly reduced"

"I chose to start over here"

"Okay"

"The emulator is restarting again......"

......

Dragon Thirteen returned to the ground, with eight pieces of wood in his hand.

This time, he took the initiative to invite the black blind man and the young man to fill the ravine with him, and the two of them hurriedly agreed.

When they were still about twenty meters away from the moat, Long Thirteen threw them two and ran forward desperately, then turned to look at them, and when they reached the edge of the moat, before they threw away the straw bags on their shoulders, he kicked them all down one by one!

On the tenth occasion, he had done it successfully, and when he had handed the pieces of wood into the hands of the horseman, he learned that a thousand men had filled the ravines to-day, and half of them had been killed and wounded, and only half of the remaining half had been completed, and the rest had not been killed by the horsemen, but half of their rations had been deducted.

"Dragon Thirteen, you completed the second level of the 'Fill the Gully' in the Level 1 quest 'Gain Trust', because you killed two Gullies, and your Force value was increased by ten points to 40"

"If you can survive the Fill Gully mission, your Commander value will increase by 5 points to 30"

"I haven't been plotted by others, and my agility and luck have been increased by five points, both of which are 35."

"Intelligence remains the same"
