Chapter 103: Caught in a Net

When the Ming army, who occupied the mountain gate of Qingfeng Village, had lunch and was almost there, the general manager who led the soldiers came to Da Kui's side and asked softly: "My lord, when will we attack the village?"

Da Kui was sitting on the chair of the sliding rod master and was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Mr. Qian's question, he just replied lazily: "Don't worry, it will be half an hour later." ”

Mr. Qian didn't dare to say more, and quietly retreated to the back team. After about half an hour, Da Kui stood up.

There is a mountain road between the mountain gate of Qingfeng Village and Dazhai, and this section of the road can be described as extremely dangerous. The cliff is like a cliff, and a mountain road is carved out on the cliff. This road is no more than one zhang wide, and it is nine turns of the intestine. If you want to cross this road, I am afraid that you will have to wait in a long line to pass. Looking at the cliff on the right hand side of the mountain road, the cliff is densely covered with jungle but is directly above the mountain road.

Da Kui raised his hand with a playful smile on his lips, and waited for Mr. Qian, who was not far behind him, to take three steps and make two steps to rush behind Da Kui to stand by.

Da Kui pointed to the jungle on the cliff and said: "This road is so steep, if there are ambushes hidden in the jungle on the cliff, as long as you prepare more rolling wood and stones, our army will be difficult to climb to the sky if you want to attack the village." ”

Mr. Qian put up a pergola and looked at it, not only did he think so, but then he said: "My lord, if this is the case, you must first seize the top of the cliff, and then lead the troops to find the top of the cliff on the road." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way. Da Kui shook his head slightly, turned around and asked, "How many shells did we bring?"

Mr. Qian replied: "Back to the adult's words, there are twenty pieces of each artillery, a total of sixty." ”

Da Kui nodded, and said casually: "All of them will be hit to the top of the cliff, and then they will attack the village after the cannonballs." ”

Mr. Qian promised to turn around and go back to the team to prepare, and Da Kui walked to the side of the mountain gate, looking at the green mountains and beautiful rivers from afar.

Qingfeng Cottage poured out, and Ke Zhendong took the lead in leading a group of diehards to charge forward, not for the purpose of the mountain gate but along the mountain path to a dangerous peak. There are longbows and crossbows that have been prepared for a long time, and the bottom of the cliff is the only way to connect the mountain gate and the cottage. Ke Zhendong wants to ambush the Ming army, as long as the Ming army is defeated with one blow, then there will be enough time to escape from Qingfeng Village with the brothers in the cottage to avoid the limelight.

As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, Ke Zhendong is convinced of this.

Fortunately, Ke Zhendong moved fast enough, and after rushing to the top of the cliff with the No. 10 brothers to ambush, there was no movement in the direction of the mountain gate. Seeing the smoke rising from outside the mountain gate, Ke Zhendong couldn't help but be convinced: it seems that the Ming army has been tired and tired all the way, and it must be burying the pot to cook at this moment. It's okay! You also need to eat a full meal to cut off your head, so let the Ming army eat enough and then come to die.

Thinking of this, Ke Zhendong was not afraid, and commanded left and right: "Brothers, cheer up, wait for the Ming army to attack the village, give them some power, let them know that they know how powerful my Qingfeng Village is." The mountain bandits around Ke Zhendong responded in unison, and the fear in front of them was swept away.

Ke Zhendong sent two right-hand men to investigate near the mountain gate, but they did not come back after more than half an hour. Ke Zhendong couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and got up and scolded: "Grandma, where did these two rabbit cubs go, I told them to go and see that they won't come now." ”

The leader of the mountain bandits persuaded: "Don't be anxious, the big boss will have news after a while." The words fell, and I saw two figures in the distance fleeing and seemed to be running, and the trees and weeds in the mountains were not taken seriously. A man tripped over a weed and fell on, then got up like a rabbit and ran again.

Ke Zhendong has good eyesight, and at a glance he saw that he was sent out to work carefully.

Before the two minions who inquired about the news ran in front of Ke Zhendong, they were already shouting: "Big boss, it's not good! The Ming army is going to shoot here." ”

Ke Zhendong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and when the two minions ran in front of him, he grabbed his chest one by one and shouted angrily: "What's the matter? ”

The left-handed minion gasped and said: "When we arrived near the mountain gate, we saw that the Ming army was burying the pot and cooking, and then the Ming army began to move the cannon, and the muzzle of the cannon was facing here." ”

Before the other minions could speak, they heard the rumbling of cannons from the mountain gate, followed by a crack wind howling in the air. Before the mountain bandits could understand what was going on, two shells had exploded not far away, and they heard only two deafening sounds. For a while, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with rubble and flew wildly, and there was a scream in the chaos, Ke Zhendong knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Brothers~!"

Before the words fell, the third shell reached the left. There was a 'boom' explosion, and several people were injured by the flying stones and fell to the ground.

The cannonball is an explosive, an iron heart. Once the explosion sounds, most of the shrapnel that is blown up will hurt people, but this mountain is full of stones and sand, and the flying stones will also kill people. Ke Zhendong took the lead in rushing towards the way he came, where did the bandits dare to stay, and ran wildly in the direction of the cottage as if fleeing for their lives behind Ke Zhendong, the owner of the village. It's a pity that more than 100 people are clustered together, and the mountain road is not spacious, so how easy is it to rush down the mountain in one go?

At this time, there were three more cannons at the mountain gate, and the top of the mountain fell into a cloud of gunsmoke, and several bandits who ran at the end of the mountain immediately fell into the smoke and dust. Ke Zhendong can still take care of his brothers at the moment, and he runs all the way and only hates his father and mother for giving him two legs.

Fortunately, the cannonballs were not hit behind their buttocks, but the Qian in the Ming army always used artillery to blow up the places on the cliff that might hide people one by one according to the orders of Lord Du Yushi. Coincidentally, the first target is the hiding place of Ke Zhendong and others.

The artillery of the Ming army finally stopped after seven rounds, and Da Kui sat in the distance, holding a tray with a tray in the middle of the plate, which was actually a purple sand teapot and a tea cup. As soon as the twenty-one cannons rang out, Mr. Qian, who led the troops, rushed to Da Kui and asked, "My lord, the artillery has covered the top of the mountain, can you attack the village?"

Da Kui smiled, stretched out his hand to take the teacup and said, "After the official drinks this tea, you will shoot another round of cannons." ”

Mr. Qian was puzzled but didn't dare to ask more, after all, he was just a thousand households.

Qian Zong returned to the mountain gate, and instructed his soldiers to add new medicine to the cannon, load the fuse, and wait until the three cannons were ready to turn around and look again, and Lord Du Yushi was still enjoying tea in a good place.

Ke Zhendong rushed down the mountain with people busy, and looked back as he ran, and the more than 100 brothers he brought out on this trip were lost in half. Running and running, Ke Zhendong stopped suddenly, and the bandits who came with him almost crashed into him.

A leader rushed forward and asked, "Why did you stop?"

Ke Zhendong panted: "The cannon has stopped, and the Ming army is going to attack the village." After a pause, Ke Zhendong suddenly ordered: "Brothers, follow me back to the top of the mountain quickly." ”

This leader is also clever enough, and when he heard the words, he suddenly realized: "The great master's clever plan." After that, he beckoned to the bandits: "Brothers, go with the big boss." A group of mountain bandits followed behind Ke Zhendong and rushed towards the dangerous peak again.

It's still that place, and there are dozens of corpses lying on the ground at the moment. Ke Zhendong cautiously walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the mountain gate, but there was still no movement. Just when I was puzzled, I finally heard the movement, and the Ming army bombed indiscriminately as before. This time it was even worse, a cannonball was falling in the crowd, and a bloody wind collapsed.

Ke Zhendong was so shocked that the three souls were still losing their seven spirits, and he covered his head and face with both hands and threw himself on the ground. Where will the bandits stay at this moment, and rush down the mountain like crazy. Ke Zhendong waited until a round of artillery fire passed, and immediately bounced off the ground, and ran down the mountain again.

The bandits didn't stay any longer, and fled all the way back to the cottage, Ke Zhendong was not only sad when he saw it again. There were only a dozen of his men who escaped, and all of them were wounded.

"Big boss, you hung flowers. One of his leaders came to warn him, despite the fact that he was still bleeding from his head. Ke Zhendong felt a pain in his left arm, and turned his head to see that the flesh and blood of his left shoulder were blurred by the flying stones.

The subordinates who stayed in the village hurriedly found Langzhong in the village to bandage the wounds for everyone, Ke Zhendong endured the pain and ordered: "I can't hold it, the brothers will hide in the mountains from the back village with me, and go quickly." After a little preparation, Qingfeng Village fled.

Da Kui drank a cup of tea, and then sat on a sliding pole and led the team to attack the village. The so-called attack on the village is to enter the Qingfeng village in a big way, and then send troops to search around.

Qingfeng Village covers an extremely wide area, with nearly 100 houses. The front village and the back village are clearly distinguished, and the soldiers who have come to report the road: the front village found a granary, an armory, and nearly 100 cattle, sheep, mules and horses. The back village also found a case of gold and silver ornaments used by women who did not have time to take away.

There are gold and silver jewelry that have not been taken away in the back village, which shows that the mountain bandits left in a hurry. Da Kui is very satisfied, it can be seen that Qingfeng Village fled for his life, and there are still many female dependents. There will inevitably be a lot of inconvenience in taking female dependents into the mountain, and the Ming army only needs to chase and escape from the mountain, and these female dependents can't run fast anyway.

Da Kui comfortably settled in Qingfeng Village, and sent messengers to order the mountain defenders everywhere to close the mountain, and arrest people when they saw them. Not only catch people but also hunt, birds and beasts in the mountains can be hunted, and if they can't, they will be driven away. Da Kui wants to turn the lonely peak of Qingfeng Mountain into a place where birds don't, and even if birds poop, they have to pull on other mountains.

In just three days, the defenders everywhere captured more than 300 mountain bandits and more than 200 women, elderly and children, but Ke Zhendong was not caught.

Da Kui is not in a hurry, the grain and grass in the cottage are enough for eight thousand Ming troops for another three days, so I don't believe that Ke Zhendong can stand hungry for another three days. Even if Ke Zhendong can catch game, he must not dare to make a fire and cook it to eat. When the Ming army sees the fireworks, they will round up, and the Ming army is also clear about the large and small caves of the entire Qingfeng Mountain, because the captured mountain bandits will be clearly explained with a little torture. If Ke Zhendong wants to avoid the round-up of the Ming army, unless he gets into the mouse hole, he will be in trouble.

After another two days, there was finally news that the person in charge of the north of Qingfeng Mountain was Zhang Dianchen, a thousand households in Huaiqing Mansion, and his subordinates captured eight mountain bandits in one night. All eight of them were injured, and one of them looked like Ke Zhendong.

Da Kui was in a good mood when he received this news, and ordered all places to step up the search of the mountains and not let go of a corner of a ditch and stream. Then Da Kui personally rushed to the north of Qingfeng Mountain, he wanted to see who this Ke Zhendong was.
