Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 53 The Wonder Soldier of the Flooded Valley
At three o'clock the next day, the chaotic procession finally set off. Captain Zhu walked in front with an impatient face, and kept scolding in his mouth.
He was in a hurry, according to Feng San, he was afraid that it would be dark after walking this road to the temple.
If it is not dark, there will be no suddenness in the battle, but if it is too dark, he is worried that You Sanjiang will not be able to cooperate with him.
After walking for an hour, he regretted it a little, and called an order: "You go, go back now, and go to the camp along the official road."
Tell the general that I am leaving, and that I am going to attack the camp tonight, and tell him to come to reinforcements when he sees the fire, and that he must arrive in time! ”
Feng San didn't say much when he heard it, but just reminded the people behind him to keep up and not to fall behind. "There are too many ditches and valleys in this place, and it's hard to get out if you get lost!" He scared people and said.
Some people trembled with fear, and some people disagreed that he was exaggerating. However, as you go deeper and deeper, you are surrounded by endless cliffs, and your feet are constantly going up and down.
Everyone was panting and crying bitterly. There are also those who are frightened by snakes swimming in the grass, and there are those whose clothes are hooked by bushes.
The crowd fell silent, and gradually whispering and muttering began.
"His mother's, what kind of way is this? That's not how you get rich! ”
"yes, where the hell is this taking us?"
"I said, there is not even a shadow of a person in this place, why do I feel unsteady in my heart?"
"Don't talk about you, it's all the same. Let's be careful, there won't be any big beasts in this place, right? ”
"Don't be scary, since the snitch has walked by, there should be no beasts. How else did he come back? ”
"You know he's a snitch, too? People can jump high when they see a bad opportunity, do you have this ability? ”
Someone spoke in the wilderness, and frightened pheasants and birds from the grass to "flutter" and keep flying. That Captain Zhu was on fire, and ordered someone to pass the word back:
"Shut up, whoever alarmed the enemy's sentinel I want his head!"
"Who's going to spy on this place?" Someone muttered dissatisfiedly at the command, but the voice was much quieter.
Only the personal soldiers sent by Captain Zhu were constantly cheering everyone up: "Turn right ahead, be careful of the round stones under your feet." The brethren worked harder, and the captain said that when he saw the great valley in front of him, he would start eating and resting!
You won't feel bitter when you take the money tonight! Keep up, take a few steps behind to keep up! ”
At this time, the procession dragged on longer and longer, the swords were carried upside down, the spears became crutches, and the turbans were taken off to wipe away sweat.
None of them had the time to talk or to speak. It's easy to let out a soft cheer from the front.
Captain Zhu hurried over, and saw that the front suddenly opened up, and a stream that was too deep was rushing forward.
"Oh my God, it's finally here!" He looked back at his men: "Rest! Send two people to test the depths of the water! ”
Someone promised to give the order immediately, and there was a muffled cheer from the ranks.
After Captain Zhu finished eating the dry food, he took two sips of water with the water bladder handed by his own soldiers, and saw Feng San biting a piece of cooking cake and staggering over.
He beckoned him to come closer and asked, "How far do you have to go from here?" ”
"Master, we're halfway there. The last half is the detour, but it's not so difficult to walk. ”
Captain Zhu waved his hand in a down-to-earth manner when he heard this, and half-closed his eyes to recuperate. After resting here for more than half an hour, the team was summoned to continue to drive.
When everyone heard that the road ahead was easier, they immediately felt that there was wind under their feet. The river was not a problem at all, and happily took off his boots, and his shoes flowed through the water, and went into the forest opposite to regroup.
After walking dozens of feet forward, I made two more rounds, and found that the road was indeed much smoother.
At this time, I don't know who said first: "Eh, when we came here just now, we saw that river, is it that wide?" ”
"Doesn't think so?"
"Is there such a hurry?"
"This ...... Isn't it the same when the water flows? I really didn't pay attention to it. ”
These words quickly caused a commotion in the team, and Captain Zhu stood on the side of the road when he heard this, looked back suspiciously, and asked, "Did the brothers of the escort team cross the river?" ”
"It's already here."
"Go and call the man who tested the current."
After a while, the soldiers led the man over.
"Let me ask you, did you feel that the river was deep and urgent when you crossed the river just now?"
"No, no." The guy was sweating on his forehead, and he didn't know if he was walking or scared.
"Bastard!" Captain Zhu was on fire.
"Master, I think the river is really weird. As long as we talk and eat dry food, it becomes wider and more urgent. I'm not the only one who says this, and many brothers feel that it's wrong. The soldier looked at his face: "Don't blame this brother, he didn't know it would be like this...... ”
"That's enough, get out of here!" After Captain Zhu finished speaking, he changed his words: "Come back, give me an order, the rear team will change to the front team, all turn around, turn around quickly!" ”
Everyone ran back, and when the people in the back team came to the river, they were shocked to see that the river was nearly two feet wide! "Get in the water, cross the river!" Someone saw that the situation was not right and shouted.
The crowd threw themselves into the water desperately, and found that the water in the middle of the river was already waistless.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound from upstream. When the brigade came to the river and scrambled to cross the river first, they heard the sound and looked upstream, and saw a white line sweeping across the river.
The crowd shouted, but they could not hear anyone open their mouths. Captain Zhu felt that his legs were so heavy that he couldn't take a step, and when he looked back, every face was distorted so unfamiliar.
Turning his face again, the water, mud, and sand swept over his head and face, making people unable to open their eyes, and then a huge force pressed the dark and dreary world on him!
Feng San squatted on a platform on the top of a cliff, clasping his hands and knees as the turbulent river valley below gradually calmed down.
The people in the water are either struggling to cry for help, or wailing miserably, those who do not move may not escape death, and those who drift with the waves have long since lost their lives.
What was once fierce, savage, and strong seemed small in the face of such power. He looked at it and sighed deeply.
At this time, some wooden rafts and bamboo rafts were drawn out of some valleys. People armed with bamboo guns, hook guns, spears and machetes began to check one by one.
and the dead, cut off the head and push the body into the water; Those who surrendered alive and begged for mercy were tied up, and those who resisted were poked to death in the water and then taken off their heads.
Feng Sanzhi waited until a bamboo raft came over, and saw the pond above before he shouted hello.
Tan Zhongxuan asked people to lean over, and when they came closer, Feng San's feet fell lightly on the raft, and even several people, including Tan Zhongxuan, were stunned.
"Sure enough, it's 'three coins'! I said Feng San, your name is good! Tan Zhongxuan nodded in satisfaction.
Feng San didn't speak, he laughed and arched his hand: "Tan Yingzheng, please let the brothers row over there, I saw that their leader seemed to have floated over, and he couldn't be asked to slip through the net!" ”
Immediately with a whistle, he called three or four boats to search for it, and when he went around the bushes behind a stone wall, some of the brothers in the rear camp shouted: "There is one alive here!" ”
The bamboo raft in the pond leaned over, Feng San took a closer look, it was not Captain Zhu!
Several people carried him to the boat, and saw that the great bow was still there, and the feather arrows were scattered, and there were only three or four left in the pot.
The treasure knife on the leather belt was immediately taken off and handed to Tan Zhongxuan.
He pulled it out and looked at it, and said, "Good knife!" Looking up again, he saw Feng San's hand and said, "Please borrow this knife from me for temporary use." ”
Tan Zhongxuan didn't know what he was going to do, so he looked at his left and right subordinates, nodded, and handed over the scabbard in his hand.
Feng San drew his sword and jumped onto the raft opposite, picked up Captain Zhu, and asked with a sneer: "Does Captain still want to be a general now?" ”
After the water rushed over, Captain Zhu was swept to the bottom of the water, his head was broken on the stone, and then he was poked through the right back by a bush branch.
His face was now covered in blood, and a wooden branch peeking out of front of him with white stubble.
He knew that even if he was put on a raft, he would not be able to survive the injury, so he tried to say in a hoarse voice: "Is it you, the snitch, who sold me?" Good calculation! ”
"It's not for sale, and Lao Tzu confiscates anyone's benefits. You have done so many sins yourself, can you still live?
Kwun Tong Village has more than a dozen people from home, didn't you cut it with a knife? Didn't you kill the granddaughter from the old gentleman? Now it's time for you to pay off your debts!
You are right, Lao Tzu was also a thief, but he has never done such a lack of virtue. And," Feng San said, raised his knife and gritted his teeth:
"Lao Tzu killed you today, just like cutting off yourself from the thief before!"
Captain Zhu grinned and didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "Anyway, I can't live, boy, you can take the master's head and go to give your new master a treasure!" ”
As soon as the words fell, as Feng San scolded, the blade flashed and the head fell into the water. Immediately one of the brothers skillfully grabbed his head with a spear and handed it back to the raft.
Whoever cuts it belongs to whom, that's the rule. Feng San didn't speak, rubbed the knife washed in the water on the corpse, hugged his fist to the pool, and then pushed the knife into the sheath.
Tan Zhongxuan returned the salute, gave a thumbs up appreciatively, and shouted: "Third Brother Feng is mighty!" The brothers in the surrounding camp shouted in response:
"Third Brother Feng is mighty, mighty!" The voice reverberated back and forth between the red cliffs, echoing the face: mighty, mighty, mighty.......
"Hey, what about Feng San? Didn't come back with you? ”
Li Dan saw the happy Tan Zhongxuan, praised his newly acquired treasure knife twice, and after politely rejecting the idea he gave to himself, he looked around and asked.
"Cough, Brother Xiao didn't think he had enough, Third Brother Feng said that the leader of the thieves was guarded by dozens of old and weak people in the camp, and they took more than a hundred brothers from the left camp to completely pull out this thorn in the eye, and asked me to come back and talk to the defense."
Hearing Tan Zhongxuan say this, Li Dan nodded with a smile and didn't say anything, this must be Xiao Wanhe, what they got is not as good as the back camp, so their eyes are red, so it's okay.
"What is the water in the valley? Are there any brothers in the back camp cleaning up the battlefield? He asked.
Lao Xiao said that he discussed with Second Brother Zhu that once the water level dropped to the exposed riverbank, he would start to plug the gap with bamboo cages containing stones.
So when I came back, the water level had started to go down, but there were still people with the same chest and abdomen. About 100 people in the rear camp took over the search, and the rest came back to rest.
So far, more than 270 bodies have been recovered, and less than 40 prisoners have been captured. The heads have been brought back, and the left battalion and the rear battalion are piled up separately, do you want to go and see it? ”
As he spoke, the guy rubbed his hands intently.
"What is so beautiful about a human head, it is not much different from a stone on the side of the road." Li Dan smacked his mouth as he spoke: "I'm afraid of polluting this pure land of Buddhism, and I didn't let the Buddha blame!" ”
"So, what then?"
Li Dan frowned and looked around, and pointed towards the mountain: "Hang on the cliff, Brother Tan, do you guess that you will be angry when you see Sanjiang?" ”
Tan Zhongxuan laughed: "It's so easy to get it down from the mountain, but you have to move it up, and you have to defend yourself so ruthlessly!" Well, I'll find some brothers to do it! ”
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but Li Dan stopped him again and told him to bury the corpse, so as not to expose it outside and cause a plague and suffer to the locals.
"The rest of the people in the back camp hurry up and rest, maybe you Sanjiang will come to fight hard when you are in a hurry?" He said.
