Chapter 8 Liu Sheng's Lost Armor

Time passed like this, a year passed in a blink of an eye, it was already the 231st year of the ephemeris, and Yue Feng was 19 years old.

Xiang Yu is indeed a masterpiece of a generation, and within a year, he has improved his martial arts, leading the troops well, and Xiang Yu is full of admiration for Yue Feng. Green Butterfly seems to be accustomed to the life of the Yue family and the sudden hand-holding of Yue Feng, and after He Yuefeng's research, Green Butterfly's assassination skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.

Yue Feng hoped that Green Butterfly would train some assassins, but Green Butterfly didn't have any opinions, and he did a good job. Yue Feng thought that his personality charm had finally conquered the green butterfly. And Green Butterfly's often cold face made Yue Feng feel that it was unlikely that she would conquer her heart. In that case, so be it!

Exactly, this is the time of the year to transport the armor again, but this time there is really a big mess!

When Yue Feng knew that something had happened, Yue Jian and Liu Sheng were already waiting for him in the secret room. Yue Feng took Xiang Yu and entered the secret room. Before he could sit down, Liu Sheng hurriedly said: "Apprentice, this time your master and I are afraid that we will return to the West." There's nothing your dad can do, you usually always have ghost ideas, help the master figure out a way.

Yue Feng comforted: "Master, don't worry, I don't know what's going on! ”

Yue Jian was afraid that Liu Sheng would be concerned about chaos, so he said: "Yesterday, your master received the order of the state government and escorted 500 sets of armor, knives and bows to Zhaozhou Xiongguan Tiger Prison, with a total of 200 soldiers accompanying him. When going east for 100 miles out of the county, because of the late departure, the sky is getting dark, and there is a total of ten days, which is still very surplus. So your master set up camp and prepared to rest before he set out. Who would have thought that he was besieged by more than 500 thieves that night, resulting in the loss of armor. ”

Liu Sheng continued: "There were quite a few thieves, but they only had time to surround three sides, and we quickly escaped through the gap. In addition, I also left a few clever people to follow them, and found that they actually have a cottage, which is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. So I ordered the soldiers to wait and come back to ask for help. If I don't recapture the armor within ten days, I'm afraid I'm going to die. What to do, what to do!"

Yue Feng saw that Liu Sheng was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, thought for a moment, and said, "Master, don't worry! Look at it now, even if we recapture the armor, we will be more than lucky." But if the county Cheng stands with us, there will be some turnaround, after all, if this incident occurs, the county lord will also be punished. It is better to persuade the county to send troops to attack the thief fortress, as long as we take the cottage within three days, it is enough to send the soldiers to the tiger prison within ten days. If it is discovered, it can also be said that the original intention is to make up for the fault. As long as this is the case, it is not enough to be guilty of capital sin. In addition, we will prepare a small amount of armor to bring with us to make up for the losses. ”

Yue Jian thought for a while and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

Liu Sheng lost his temper and left in a hurry with Yue Jian to persuade the county Cheng. After a while, Liu Sheng returned with the order, saying that the county had promised 800 soldiers to recapture the armor and set off immediately.

Yue Feng and Xiang Yu, under the leadership of Liu Sheng, went to conquer the bandits. After a half-day march, they reached a dense forest valley, and it was already dark by this time. Liu Sheng had no choice but to set up camp, and the scouts also brought news of this cottage. It turned out that this cottage was a gathering place for rogue deserters. The leader is two brothers, and there is a dog-headed military division, the cottage is located on the slope of the high mountain, backed by a clear spring, surrounded by mountains on three sides, no trees, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yue Feng and a few people first discussed the method of attack in the camp tent. Yue Feng said: "This cottage is very difficult to fight when you hear it. Judging from the defeat of the master last time, they did not have much combat effectiveness, so they deliberately let the officers and soldiers leave, otherwise they might not be able to win the real fight. ”

Liu Sheng also recovered at this time and said, "Feng'er thinks how to attack can defeat the enemy as soon as possible." ”

Yue Feng said: "We should not attack directly. They now have armor and their power has increased dramatically. And once we lose too many troops, it will not be easy to go back. We might as well hide 500 armor soldiers in the woods, and let 200 men dig holes and traps directly in the camp, so that if we deliberately show weakness, the bandits will be proud and will carry out a surprise attack. ”

Liu Sheng felt that the plan was feasible and immediately acted according to the plan. After the arrangements were made, they deliberately sent only 300 soldiers to pretend to attack. Sure enough, the cottage was prepared, and the three hundred soldiers left a few corpses behind and hurried back to the camp.

On the other hand, the two masters of the cottage and the dog-headed military division are also studying countermeasures. The two brothers in charge are named Zhang Zhicheng and Zhang Zhiming, and the dog-headed military advisor is called Qian Fu. The three of them were originally from the Qinzhou Prefecture and their families were from a dart bureau family, but they were framed by the state and their families were ruined. After the Zhang brothers took their partner Qian Fu and escaped from the capture of the state army, they gradually subdued the accumulated Liukou, and finally built a cottage here, which they called Crouching Tiger Village.

The day before yesterday, they wanted to rob some food and silver, but they ended up robbing a bunch of armor and weapons. This had left them fully equipped, but then they had to prepare to move out. Before a few people could leave, the officers and soldiers arrived.

Among the three, Qian Fu has the most wisdom, and said: "Today, the thief in the state is narrow and easy to kill. Therefore, that soldier must not dare to report to the imperial court, otherwise he would not have been sent again, and he was in such a hurry. It can be seen from this that he must be a private county soldier, and he wants to make meritorious service and hide from the world.

Qian Fu felt that as long as he held on to the village, the officers and soldiers would have no choice but to retreat within five days, and if we left the south of the village, it would be difficult for them to find us.

Zhang Zhicheng said: "The plan is good! But we only have more than 500 people, and I think we should attack and kill the momentum of these dog officials." If they are too bad, they can even find an opportunity to completely defeat the officers and soldiers. ”

Qian Fu knew that Zhang Zhang Zhicheng had a bold personality and did not like to win without a fight, so he instructed him not to penetrate into the enemy camp.

That night, Zhang Zhicheng really led hundreds of people to rush into the camp, and Yue Feng was waiting for such a moment, and immediately signaled Liu Sheng to arrange the soldiers in the forest to cut off his back road. But I don't know what the reason is, Zhang Zhicheng didn't make much of a surprise attack into the camp at all, and retreated to the cottage after losing more than 100 people.

Yue Feng was very anxious. Only then did he realize that even a small thief's den could not be easily ambushed! There were many traps dug, but only a very small part of them worked. It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the wartime control of the soldiers in order to maximize the power of the strategy.

Liu Sheng saw that the thieves were in order, so he ordered all the soldiers to pursue, and Xiang Yu also carried a machete alone and ran towards the thief's head. The thief leader didn't seem to be a person who retreated from the battle, and he had been pressing the formation at the end, and Xiang Yu ran over and fought with him.

Yue Feng's heart was also entangled, war, even if it was such a small battle, was not something he had experienced in his previous life. Even if you imagine it thousands of times, even if you watch more TV and movies, the bloody scene makes Yue Feng sick to his stomach. But looking at Xiang Yu, on the other hand, he doesn't seem to have experienced any war, but he has always been fearless. Now Xiang Yu is fighting with the thief leader, but he is only a little flustered at first, but now he is fighting more and more bravely, and there is a possibility of killing the other party.

After a while, the thieves gradually retreated into the cottage, and Xiang Yu also returned in vain.

Yue Feng didn't say a word, and went straight back to his tent.

Xiang Yu thought that Yue Feng was pretending to be deep. Follow Yue Feng into the camp and say, "If Yue Gongzi makes a move, we may be able to keep that thief head." Yue Feng suddenly vomited, and only recovered after a while, and said, "It may be more difficult to kill." According to the scouts, they are two brothers, and if they kill one and the other, they will fight us for their lives. ”

Xiang Yu handed Yue Feng a glass of water and said, "Isn't that better, they shrink, it's difficult for us to do it." ”

Yue Feng said: "Actually, I have other ideas. Do you know Xiang Yu?"

Xiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Gongzi Yue wants to recover this general, and even this cottage." ”

Yue Feng said: "Yes, this general's martial arts are slightly worse than yours, and the way of leading the army is not bad." He not only saw through our traps, but also retreated in an orderly manner. And he's at the end of the line, and he's also a righteous man. As for the cottage, it is also very hidden, and can be used as a place for us to hide our troops. ”

Xiang Yu nodded with deep feeling.

It's night, there's nothing to say. The next day, Liu Sheng invited Yue Feng to discuss the strategy, Yue Feng also had no good plan, for this stubborn place, the walls are all piled up with earth and stones, the mountain road is only less than 30 zhang wide, and the surrounding mountains are steep. After studying for a long time, there was no good way, and Liu Sheng was eager to win, so he ordered the sergeant to storm the cottage. After attacking for half a day, the cottage was not only blocked by rolling stones and giant trees, but also served with boiling oil. Liu Sheng had no choice but to retreat.

After that, Xiang Yu went to shout in the air to make an appointment, but what happened was a burst of scolding and arrow misses.
