Chapter 172: Rewarding the Brave

The two butter candles illuminated the big tent very brightly, Lu Zhishen looked at the guards soldiers in front of him and asked, "Did the lord send you?" ”

The soldier who reported the message said honestly: "It was General Li Yan who sent the villain!" He asked the villain to remind Captain Lu that someone was going to attack the convoy tonight and seize the treasure. Before the villain came, someone had already attacked the rear army, thanks to the warning issued by the secret whistle, the big officials learned in advance, set up an ambush, and planned to defeat the enemy army and capture the enemy chieftain! ”

"Who attacked the lord?"

"It's Bao Xu, the bandit leader of Dead Tree Mountain! According to what he said, Tian Hu's subordinate Bian Xiang came to Hebei East Road, relying on his strong martial arts, forcibly absorbed many green forest heroes on the ground in Hebei, and planned to rob the general's convoy tonight! ”

"Hmph, where did the birdman come from, I don't know if I'm alive or dead! Okay, I already know, you go back first, and tell the lord that you don't need to worry about the Sprinkle family! Lu Zhishen sent a message that the soldiers were gone.

Wu Song said: "Brother, we have to send someone to remind the Zeng family brothers!" ”

"As it should be!" Lu Zhishen called in a confidant soldier, this person is the small leader of Erlong Mountain, who has been following him around and doing things firmly.

Lu Zhishen instructed him: "You go to the cavalry camp and tell the Zeng brothers and Teacher Su that the lord has sent someone to warn that there may be an enemy attack tonight, so let them be on guard!" ”

"Yes!" The soldier immediately set off.

Lu Zhishen looked at Wu Song and asked, "Brother, should you wake up your sons and daughters to prepare for war?" ”

Wu Song shook his head, "The brothers marched hard during the day, and if they didn't get enough sleep at night, I'm afraid the weather wouldn't be strong tomorrow." Our unit has a secret post three miles away, and it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to sneak into it. Later, I will take someone to check around, and when there is movement, sound the gong to warn!

Besides, since the lord's side has already repelled the sneak attackers, they should know that we have taken precautions and will definitely not do it again tonight! Brother, please rest in peace, and the younger brother will take someone to inspect. ”

"What the brother said is reasonable, but the battle is dangerous, and there is no big mistake in being careful. The Sprinkler family woke up a battalion of children to get up and be on guard, and the rest of them let them continue to sleep! Lu Zhishen was a little worried.

Wu Song arched his hand and said: "Brother has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so naturally he knows more than me, so be it!" The Zeng brothers' side ......"

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "It's enough for me to send someone to remind them, they have their own system, and we can't point fingers and annoy people!" Brother, you have to be very careful when you go on patrol! ”

"Little brother saves!"

The two went their separate ways, and Wu Song took a group of capable men out of the camp, and did not use torches, but took advantage of the faint moonlight to lightly discredit and move forward. Every time he walked a distance, Wu Song would lie on the ground, his ears close to the ground and listen.

Walking two miles, I suddenly heard a "boom", a crossbow arrow shot at the ground in front of Wu Song's feet, and more than a dozen soldiers quietly appeared behind the nearby mound, their expressions were cold, their eyes were full of cold murderous aura, each person held a chain crossbow in his hand, aiming at Wu Song and others, the arrow was shining cold.

"What are you doing?" The leader of the squad said coldly.

Wu Song was very satisfied, and said in a deep voice: "I am Wu Song!" ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone heard that it was his voice, and the team leader walked up to identify it, although the moonlight was dim, but Wu Song's image was too easy to recognize.

With an iron tower-like body, a cold face, knife-like eyes, an iron hoop on his forehead, and long hair hanging down from his temples, he is indeed a deputy general! The team leader hurriedly apologized.

"You guys did a great job!" Wu Song praised, "What movement did you find?" ”

"We didn't see anything, but we heard what looked like the neighing of a war horse in that direction!" The squad leader pointed to the distance in the night, "I have already sent two brothers over to take a look!" ”

"Okay, let's all go check it out!" Wu Song's eyes lit up, and he followed with the soldiers of the dark sentry.

Twenty or thirty people quietly walked forward, and after walking for two or three miles, they suddenly heard two rapid birdsong in front of them, and the team leader's face changed, "It's not good, the two brothers have been discovered!" ”

"Keep up!" After Wu Song said this, he jumped out, like a sturdy cheetah, and threw the others away in a moment, as if the iron armor on his body had no weight.

He ran in the direction of the sound, and it didn't take long to hear footsteps from the opposite side, and two black shadows rushed over, followed by a group of black shadows.

Wu Song was prostrate on the ground, like the outline of a stone.

When the two black shadows ran past him, they didn't notice anything unusual. The group of black shadows behind him ran in front of him unsuspectingly, and he burst into the storm, like a tiger that was already lurking.

The first two people were startled, and before they could react, they were cut to the ground. Wu Song didn't pause, a pair of iron ring knives slashed left and right, each knife took away a life,

The hunter suddenly fell into prey, and the crowd screamed and screamed, and the remaining few people were frightened and turned and fled. At this time, the squad leader in the back led people to follow, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows flew towards the enemy's back with a sharp whistling sound, and immediately fell to the ground one by one.

Wu Song walked to the side of a corpse and wiped the blood stains on the ring knife with his clothes, his movements were very careful, and the blood stains on the knife body were wiped clean and bright as a mirror, and then inserted into the scabbard.

"General, there is an army behind that mountain, we are close to investigate, we don't want a group of people to come back from behind, be discovered by them, and chase and kill all the way!" A soldier who had just returned from a flight for his life reported.

"How far? How many people are there? Wu Song asked.

"About seven miles away...... Their barracks were chaotic, a bunch on the left, a gang on the right, just like a few groups of people put together, the villain couldn't count how many people there were, but there were at least four or five thousand people! ”

Wu Song was silent in thought, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were like torches, like cold stars in the dark night, and as sharp as a blade, making people dare not look at each other.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and his face was extremely cold, "Do you dare to follow me to kill these ill-intentioned guys?" ”

Everyone was stunned, thinking that their ears had heard it wrong! The enemy had at least four or five thousand, and there were less than thirty of them, to be exact, except for Wu Song, there were only twenty-eight people.

Even one hundred is not enough!

No one spoke.

Wu Song said in a deep voice: "Come back tomorrow, one hundred taels of silver per person!" If they can't come back, they will give each person two hundred taels of silver to their families! ”

Everyone's eyes lit up and they were short of breath. A hundred taels of silver, they will never be able to earn it in their lifetime! The pension of two hundred taels of silver is also much higher than the pension standard of Zhu Jiajun.

When you are a soldier, you don't walk on the blade, life and death are already seen very quickly, you have to die early and late, and the cheap life that was not worth it is worth a hundred taels of silver today, why don't you do it?

"I'll go with the general!" The squad leader was the first to say.

Wu Song looked at him appreciatively, this kid is good, he is a talent!

"I'll go too!"

"I'll go too!"

……

The soldiers expressed their intention to go with Wu Song to the tiger's den in Longtan.

Wu Song knew in his heart that not everyone was willing to go, but whether they were conformist or did not dare to refuse, they were willing to attack the enemy army with him.

"Good! Let's go! He ordered the two soldiers who had just gone to reconnoitre: "You two lead the way!" ”
