Chapter 045: Begging for Thieves
At the first rays of dawn, several riders rode their horses again.
The trail is long and narrow, and it is impossible to go hand in hand. After half an hour, it was not easy to slowly shake off the bandits who surrounded him.
Chen Jing took a breath and ran a little longer with the people before he found a place and hid again. If you really want to run so recklessly, not to mention people, the horse will run to death.
"Count the time, Brother Criminal, they should have arrived." Tai Shiqing picked up the wine bag and handed it to Chen Jing.
Chen Jing tilted his head and took a sip comfortably.
Seriously, this is the first time he has experienced such a dangerous siege when he comes here.
"Boss, it's dawn."
Chen nodded and looked at Hu Dong again. I found that although I was still faint, my face was slowly ruddy.
"Brothers, it's time to get on the horse." After only a short rest, several people got up, and their faces were full of calmness.
……
Morning light, the scorching sun at noon, and the dusk full of red clouds.
For nearly a day and a night, four or five hundred bandits were in the nearby official roads and forests, but they couldn't catch those few small things.
There were bandits who bypassed the road and blocked the road, but instead of catching them, they were scattered and killed.
Wei Shou was very angry, it was not so difficult to go to Yongzhou to block a small county king back then.
"King, I've found someone!"
Wei Shou, who was originally furious, instantly became ecstatic again when he heard this.
"Where?"
"The dirt slope outside the chaotic forest in the east!"
Wei Shou was overjoyed, lifted the long knife in his hand, whistled, and quickly led someone to copy it.
The sun sets in the west.
On the dirt slope outside the forest, seven or eight figures with swords and bows were standing side by side.
"I asked Zhao Sange to shoot and wound someone, but they didn't chase him. Then I shot and hit two, and I didn't chase them. But then I said that Lao Tzu was a good man under Yuan Siqiao, and said that their eight generations of ancestors, those battalion troops, chased them out at once. Xing Xiaojiu stood beside Chen Jing and chattered.
"Are you covered?"
"Naturally, it's covered, and only the eyes are exposed."
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Jiu, you're doing a good job." ”
Although it was a risky move, it seems that it has been a success now.
"Brother Chen, why are you exposed here?" Tai Shiqing hesitated to speak.
"All in one." Chen Jing frowned, "If you want to hunt down the Restoration Party, the battalion army must send a cavalry battalion first." The terrain here is vast, and there are no forests to block horses, which is the best place to suppress bandits. ”
"Brother Chen, there are more than 400 bandits."
"It's just some greedy bandits, they can't be regarded as a green forest, just like a mouse seeing a cat, they don't dare to fight with the officials and soldiers, and the biggest possibility is to flee immediately. I'm waiting here to help the officers and soldiers delay time. ”
Even if it is a death match, no matter how poor the battalion army is, it is also a soldier who has been trained in armor, how can these old bandits compare.
"I have already asked Zhou Yong and the two to touch it, waiting for the opportunity to order the nearby forest. When it burns, these bandits have no way out. ”
As Chen Jing said, not long after, bursts of fire smoke have risen in the forests on both sides of the slope.
With their exposure, there are more and more old bandits surrounding the dirt slope.
"That's the thief chief Weishou." On the dirt slope, Tai Shiqing raised his hand and pointed to a big man on horseback below. The big man was stopping his horse, pointing at them with the same point, laughing wildly.
Tai Shiqing retracted his movements, his eyes looked at Chen Jing, and his voice was full of anticipation.
"Brother Chen, can you have something to do in this life?"
"Yes." Chen Jing thought for a while, "Supporting myself, protecting my family, and taking these with me, I am willing to follow my brother and earn a fortune." ”
"What about the marquis?"
Chen Jing smiled, "I'm a cautious person, and I don't like to be ambitious. ”
"I've never seen someone like Brother Chen."
"Mr. Taishi...... But do you know the helmsman of Yuan Siqiao? ”
Tai Shiqing nodded.
"Didn't you go south this time to catch the exam?"
Tai Shiqing sighed again.
"I told you I wanted to do something with you."
Chen Jing did not answer. He waved his hand, and on the dirt slope, the group of Zhuang men who followed him set up bows and arrows, and shot the bandits who rushed to the front to the ground.
"Did Lord Yuan Helm say why he chose me?"
"Quick-witted, calm-hearted, and kind-hearted. As you know, Mr. Big is about to enter Beijing. From outside Ping'an Town, to the two or three hundred miles into Beijing, it is the most dangerous journey. ”
"If something happens to Mr. Big, there will be no bright light in this huge Ran Dynasty. Do you think, why did Xu Lingjun in Ping'an Town transfer so many battalions into the city? ”
"Because of this world, people with lofty ideals from all directions rushed together, and they were willing to send Mr. Da to Beijing and continue to preside over the change of the dynasty. In this way, I can be majestic and great, so that I can put myself to death and come back to life, reject Beidi, and support Sheji. ”
"Your Majesty in the capital supports the change, why don't you send someone to answer it."
"If Your Majesty sends troops, those old foxes will do the same. It's like a chessboard game, if you fall on this piece, your opponent will also fall on the other. ”
"Master Yuan said that he was willing to give Brother Chen time."
"Understood." Chen Jing nodded silently. After all, there was still a pair of invisible hands that pushed him slowly, slowly into the whirlpool.
"Mr. Taishi, how about killing the bandits first?"
"Very good."
Shaking off the thoughts in his head, Chen Jing became serious again. In front of them, there were more and more bandits rushing over.
In the forests on both sides of the slope, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the black smoke is constantly rising into the sky.
"Boss, that person is still scolding."
The person Xing Xiaojiu said was that Wei Shou. At this time, the thief leader only thought that a big event could be expected, and he laughed wildly with joy.
"All uphill, go uphill for Lao Tzu, stab that little thief! Hahaha, the sheep killer is invited to come over, Lao Tzu wants to watch him and skin the thief alive! ”
"King, the forest next to you is on fire!"
"There's an egg thing? Kill that thief first! ”
The roaring bandits, surging in all directions, are getting closer and closer to the dirt slope. Even, many old bandits with bows have been frantically raising their bows and shooting indiscriminately.
Chen Jing avoided his body, his face expressionless.
"Brother Chen, it's the cavalry of the battalion!" Tai Shiqing, who was beside him, suddenly became excited.
Wait for Chen Jing to look at it again-
At the foot of the dirt slope, there were clearly dozens of armored battalion soldiers, armed with lances, roaring and killing.
"Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers are here! The officers and soldiers are coming! ”
Wei Shou, who was still laughing wildly, was shocked, this self-proclaimed leader of the Green Forest Alliance in the world, only heard this sentence, he didn't dare to ask again, quickly rode his horse, and ran quickly.
But the forests on both sides of the slope were burning fiercely, and it was impossible to escape into the woods.
Just like a mouse seeing a cat, the bandits were in a mess, and the armored soldiers of the cavalry camp were killing with joy and shaking the sky. Occasionally, there were old bandits with courage who wanted to raise their knives to fight, but they were quickly stabbed to death under the horse.
……
"It won't be long before the foot soldiers of the battalion will arrive." Tai Shiqing smiled, "If Brother Chen's plan is true, this group of old bandits who claim to be the green forests of the world will be killed this round, and they will not be successful." ”
"Then Wei Shou's dog head will be taken by my Tai Shiqing for Brother Chen."
"Since I was three years old, I have been reading books for half a day every day, practicing knives for half a day, and I have been Zheng Zheng for 19 years. Taking the knife and getting on the horse, Tai Shiqing was dressed in blood-stained white clothes, and rushed down the slope with a roar.
"Xing Xiaojiu, a native of Xiazhou, is willing to fight for thieves together!" Xing Xiaojiu also took a knife and got on the horse, and also rushed with him.
Chen Jing stood up. Beside him, several Zhuang people also gathered to the left and right, carrying bows and swords, and their faces were full of perseverance.
"Chen Jing, Qingshi Lane, Ping'an Town, is willing to fight for thieves with all the generals!"
In the howling mountain wind, Chen Jing stood with his fists clenched, and his voice was extremely calm.
