Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 159 The Two Heroes Explore the Enemy Camp
"Thousands of miles of knotweed flowers are red, and the remnants of the enemy are all flags when they see them." Tie Jiao shook his head and presented a poem for Fan Xianzun, which attracted the pandering of the surrounding area, and attracted the generals who were discussing on the other side to look over.
Zhao Jingzi rolled his eyes and obviously didn't like it: "What a broken poem, Lao Tzu didn't speak."
"Why don't you have a song too?" Yang carelessly teased him.
"I'm not coming."
"Why?"
"This city is high, I'm afraid he will be ashamed to jump down!"
Everyone laughed, and the group around the county order also looked over, inexplicably not knowing what interesting things they were talking about.
"Xianfu, don't worry, as far as my understanding of this iron master is concerned, he is only a little red on his face at most, and he will not jump down." Li Dan returned to the topic after speaking:
"Okay, then let's split up according to what we just arranged, and restore the defense and order of the city as soon as possible. Those scholars...... Let's ask them to come down to town.
Mr. Han drafted the notice of the people, copied 100 copies, posted 30 copies in the city, sent 10 copies to Mianshan, and sent 10 copies to each of the rest of the inspection department.
This can be regarded as finding something for the scholars to do, so that they don't have too much time to make sycophants." Everyone chuckled.
Everyone dispersed, and Li Dan went over to tell Fan Taizun that it was estimated that the enemy would not launch again for a while, and asked him to go back to the yamen to rest. After that, he came to the No. 2 enemy platform in the north of Yufengmen (East Gate) and held a telescope to observe the direction of the enemy's retreat.
"San Lang won the battle today, it's really dangerous. Congratulations on your brother."
Li Dan looked back and saw that it was his brother Li Zhu who followed, so he returned the salute with a smile and asked, "I heard what they mean that they are going to have a banquet and drink to celebrate at noon today, and my brother is not going to join in the fun?"
"I'm not going." Li Zhu shook his head: "Being a boring guy like me here will only waste food, and it may also ruin everyone's good mood.
If you have this time, it's better to go back and help Zhao Xianfu draw! Oh, I found three mistakes on the original map yesterday, and Xianfu praised me in public."
"Really? You see, I said that my brother is meticulous and patient, and he is a good material to be a helper." Li Dan stroked his palms and said:
"Yes, when the war is over, Yu Gan will issue you a letter of recommendation, and you will definitely be reused when you go to the governor's yamen in southern Gansu.
They are mine bandits and mountain barbarians over there, but they are not at all easier than here! It will be very nice to have a staff governor who knows the soldiers, brother, you can watch and listen more, and I will inform Xianfu that he will do his best to help you."
"No, no, you don't have a light burden, so why bother me?" Li Zhu hurriedly shook his hand, stopped and asked:
"Speaking of busy, I know you don't have much free, but you still need to find time to go home and see your aunt. I heard you haven't been back for seven or eight days? If she doesn't go back, she doesn't know how many things she has saved to talk to you."
Li Dan let go of his body and watched the two men walk past with a stretcher. "Tap." He saw that the wounded soldier was covered in blood, and he couldn't help but speak.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." The wounded soldier spoke.
"Hey, Lai Wufa, is that you? Where's the injury?" Li Dan remembered that this soldier was almost shot dead when he was guarding the bridge in Fengqi Town, and he ended up being the prisoner's pawn.
He fought well in the next few battles and captured a sentry commander, so he was promoted to captain. He was chosen when he returned to his hometown, but because the road to Anren was cut off, they turned back and joined the team they brought back to Yu Gan.
At this moment, he was wrapped in gauze on his head, and he was weak to speak.
"Swept off the helmet by a meteor hammer, it's okay elsewhere, it's all lake bandits' blood." Lai Wufa smiled hard.
"Okay, then go down and rest for a few more days, don't get up in a hurry. Wait until you don't get dizzy, and then walk slowly." After speaking, Li Dan asked the two people to go more steadily.
"Don't worry, Lord Li, it was hard to lift people the first time, but later you asked someone to make this stretcher, which is much more convenient, fast and labor-saving! We'll be careful." The people paid more attention to their feet and walked away cautiously.
"I can't believe you're my brother." Li Zhi sighed and said, "Let people be willing to die for you and be happy, I don't have the ability to do this." After speaking, he changed his serious expression:
"No wonder the Xu family is so concerned, I think Uncle Xu and Second Uncle Xu are also very satisfied with you. If you don't have time to go home, going to Xu's Mansion will make ......."
Hearing his brother mention this in front of him, Li Dan's face suddenly burned to the ground, and he hurriedly asked, "But what did the Xu family do?"
Li Zhu shook his head: "No. It's just that Mrs. Xu passed away two days ago, and because the war was not good and extravagant, she found a few close female relatives to get together and have a lively time, so I invited your sister-in-law.
She felt that it was not good for her to go alone when she was young, so she took Aunt Qian, an elder, with her. As a result, I not only saw the paintings you drew and the poems you wrote, but also met me.
The three aunts of the Xu family specially pulled Aunt Qian to chat for a long time...... Look, you don't go home, don't you know that?"
"I ......." Li Dan didn't know what to say, he threw himself into defending the city, today is the third day to repel the siege of Tatehuazi, and it is also the most dangerous day, fortunately, everything is over.
He touched the double sockets (bow and quiver) behind him: "How can I think about this?"
"Looks like they're not coming today, so you should relax a bit." Li Zhu looked back at the Mao boy who was holding a stick not far away: "Even if you don't stop, you should let your subordinates relax a little. The way of a gentleman in civil and martial arts is relaxed."
Li Dan smirked, "My brother came after me just to tell me this?"
At this time, a neat footsteps remembered, there were several sentry guards of the regimental training and the village warriors walking along the city wall, the people on the original sentry post exchanged military salutes with them and handed over their posts, reassembled and gathered under the city, ready to return to the camp to rest.
"Yang Yi's people are here, you guys are really well arranged." Li Zhu nodded: "So you are still not at ease?"
"Don't worry." Li Dan scratched the back of his head: "What my brother said is that maybe I'm too concerned and too nervous, and I should take a good rest. I...... I'll go to the Fire Temple to see the wounded, and then I'll go home."
Seeing that he agreed, Li Zhu didn't want to say anything, and told him to remember to give his aunt tea and say goodbye when he went back, so he turned around and left to go down to the city first.
As soon as his back disappeared from the horse road, Li Dan saw Xianjie descend the stairs from the arrow tower and walk straight towards him.
"Today's battle is really a bit dangerous, and it seems that Tatehanako's guy is fighting hard." More than a dozen steps away, Jujie raised his voice and said.
"Why, look at you, did you personally go out to fight?" Li Dan said and looked at the two people who followed behind him, clenched his fists and said repeatedly, "Iron Dao and Master Lin are also in battle? Hard, hard!"
"It's just a little effort for the tens of thousands of creatures in this city, it's not hard, but the archery skills of the adults are good, so I really admire it!" Li Tiedao gave a thumbs up.
When Fang Cai was fighting, Li Dan and the archers of the archery team appeared in the most urgent area in time, and shot dozens of bandits one after another, so that the reinforcements brought by Gu Da blocked the hole, and the whole line turned into safety.
"I'm here to thank Huang Qin and Zhou Tu for their guidance, and when you have seen Jiufeng's archery skills, then you will know what it means to be a heart and arrow unity, and it is amazing!" Li Dan said humbly, and after speaking, he looked to the side and asked, "Master Lin has so much blood on his body, is it okay?"
"It's fine." Lin Baotong shook his head: "I am dedicated to guarding the horse road, after all, there are only a few people who can rush here, and the two apprentices are enough to deal with it."
He said it lightly, but everyone present knew in their hearts that there were indeed few bandits who could see him, but they were all the most desperate and brave. Master Lin was able to block them and be unhindered, which was enough to show his high martial arts.
"If you want to say that you are still powerful, Li Sanlang," Shen Jie said, "This thing is really amazing, the bow and arrow can't shoot in, and the knife and axe can't cut through. Look at this city wall is still the same as it was three days ago, how can this be possible if it is another county?"
"The enemy platform on the horse's face is also set up very cleverly, the horse's face is arced, and the wings are obliquely retracted, and the enemy is like entering an urn and only being beaten.
There is also a small battlement, I used to think it was too dense, I don't understand why the two sides are oblique, but now I know that it is very difficult for a strong man to come up, haha, this is really a clever trick!"
Li Tiedao praised it like this, Master Lin hurriedly ran over to take a look, and came back and said, "Eh, it's true, and
It's not easy to shoot at our people from the outside, but it's easy to observe the outside from the side of the city. Sure enough, it turns out that the bevel is also very useful!"
The three of you said a word to me, which made Li Dan a little embarrassed, and he rolled his eyes and said:
"The three masters came just in time, and I was still wondering if I should send someone to explore the enemy camp at night, first, to know how their morale is, and second, it would be best if I could find out the next move of Tatehanako. Do you think it works?"
Juan Jie raised his head: "Okay, what's wrong with this?"
"Immediately Huxi will be victorious, and the matter of Chen Yuanhai's head will be announced. I guess it won't be long before the bandit will know, and then he will be like a frightened bird who will live in fear.
The sooner we grasped the situation in his ranks, it would be beneficial for us to determine how to destroy this enemy in the future." Li Dan explained, "However, you can't go all three, why should the Intelligence Bureau keep one person."
"In that case, I'll go with the Iron Sword." Shen Jie stopped Master Lin, who was about to speak:
"Senior brother, you are more familiar with the situation from them, that's right, but there are too many people who know you inside, it's inconvenient!"
"I have an idea," Li Tiedao suddenly said, "Why don't I go undercover?" He said that he had escaped by breaking up."
"It's not good, it's not good, Tatehanako is very suspicious, how can you win his trust alone?" Lin Baotong thought for a moment and bowed his hand to Li Dan: "Dare to ask my lord, is the letter written by Tatehuazi to Chen Yuanhai still there?"
"Yes." Li Dan immediately understood his intentions: "Master Lin wants Master Iron Knife to take this letter, just say that he met you halfway......?"
"I asked him to come back and report the defeat to Tatehanako." Lin Baotong said: "The Iron Knife Brother is well-known in the rivers and lakes, and they all know that he is the guard of the Chen family, and it is much more credible than sending a random person.
As for myself, I can let Tiedao say that the remnants of Huxi who have gathered on the Ruihong side are not knowing where to go, and I am on my way to persuade them to come to Yugan and join forces.
Maybe it's easy for Katehana to believe in this, and she'll be looking forward to this team!"
"Wonderful!" Li Dan high-fived: "In this case, although Tatehuazi is frightened, he hopes that Huxi will join forces, he will not be in a hurry to escape, and we will slowly close the net during this period and prepare for a bumper harvest!" Everyone made a plan and immediately went down to the city wall to prepare.
Back at the inspection sub-division, Li Dan immediately found Zhao Jingzi and Han An, and told them that the trial hero was going to visit the enemy camp at night, and Li Tiedao was going undercover.
Han An suggested that these two things could be done at the same time, that is, Li Tiedao didn't even need to change his outfit, and he didn't have to wash his face, so he pretended to go all the way to Yuting Town to report the news.
While he was attracting the attention of the Sentinel Scouts, Judge managed to get into the camp. Li Dan agreed, and immediately asked Zhao Jingzi to arrange for the two of them to go out of the city, and agreed on the answer, the method of connecting, the code, and so on.
Lin Baotong began to give a detailed introduction to the characteristics of Tatehuazi and others, the main members, the battalion and its deployment and patrol habits.
was so busy that it was already dark, and Zhao Jingzi came to Li Dan: "Sir, it's all arranged." Li Dan got up and walked to Li Tiedao and arched his hand:
"Please, Iron Knife Master, I wish you success and success!" came to Shen Jie again: "I wish you a safe return!"
Both of them returned the salute, and Shen Jie reached out to hang up the masked scarf, and walked out without saying a word behind Zhao Jingzi and the staff officer.
Master Lin returned to the Intelligence Department to stay behind, and Li Dan looked at the empty hall and suddenly felt empty. At this time, Brother Mao appeared quietly and asked, "Isn't it time for us to go home, my aunt must have made something delicious and is waiting."
"Oh, yes!" Li Dan jumped up, hurriedly went out and ran out, he was busy arranging the affairs of the two heroes, and almost forgot his brother's instructions.
After running for a while, he stopped and turned into the alley of Xu's mansion. Brother Mao wanted to call him in the back, but when the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back, he followed hard.
The men of the Xu Mansion were sitting at the gate foaming at the gate and talking about the offensive and defensive battles during the day, and it turned out that one of them had gone to the city to assist in transporting the stone bullets of the catapult.
He was bragging happily to his partner when suddenly he jumped
Come, and scare the companions. When I turned around, I saw Li Dan frowning and breaking in as if he had entered his yard, and both of them were stunned.
"What are you stunned about? Don't go and report to the eldest lord yet!" Brother Mao stretched out his hand and slapped the back of the door's head, which woke him up, and quickly closed the door, and then one went to find the housekeeper and the other to find Xu Bu. Look at the book
Xu Bu was reading the account books under the lamp, he was one of the members of the funding committee, so he had to check the amount of food in the city every day. When I heard that Li Dan was coming, I was shocked.
Hurriedly pulled the cloth shoes out, saw the housekeeper coming towards him, and told him that Li Sanlang was in the flower hall and had not yet eaten, Master Xu hurriedly called for food, and ordered the little maid to find the second and third masters.
The housekeeper grabbed him and said sir, don't be busy yet, Li Sanlang said that he just came to sit and sit, and he had something to say to the eldest sister. "Then what are you waiting for, go find the eldest sister!" Xu Bu was so excited that he didn't know what to do for a while.
Aunt Qian came to see the eldest sister a few days ago, is it so quick to take effect? But thinking about it again, people say that they have something to say to their eldest sister, so if they go in, won't they be embarrassed to come out or not when they come out?
I couldn't make up my mind, so I had to stomp my feet outside the courtyard gate, urging the second brother to come over and help come up with an idea!
