Chapter 928: Bad Decision
Xia Wuping ran away in a panic, and from time to time he would look back at the back, and when he found that Yang Lin had been chasing after him, Xia Wuping's face became more and more pale, and he desperately increased his speed, trying to shake off Yang Lin's pursuit.
Not to mention, Xia Wuping's figure is really good, under his full speed, the speed is very fast, coupled with the rugged mountain road, hidden trails can be seen everywhere, every time Yang Lin is about to catch up with Xia Wuping, this guy will get into the trail or the dense forest, with this hand, many times to avoid Yang Lin's killing moves.
In this regard, Yang Lin was also deeply depressed, this Xia Wuping is worthy of being a thief who has been mixed for more than ten years, and the whole person is as slippery as a loach without leaving his hands, if it weren't for Yang Lin's excellent skills, if he was someone else to chase and kill Xia Wuping, there was a great chance that he would be successfully escaped by the other party.
However, Xia Wuping was unlucky this time, and he met Yang Lin, so it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to escape successfully.
In a hidden path, the panting Xia Wuping ran desperately, at this time the sky was completely dark, tonight's sky was very bad, even the moon was covered by black clouds, as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, and he couldn't look down on the surrounding scene at all.
Fortunately, Xia Wuping is not an ordinary person, he has good skills and amazing eyesight, so the dark night can't help him at all, he can see the road ahead clearly, and it is not difficult to run.
ran all the way like this, and I don't know how long it took, gradually, Xia Wuping's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he began to feel tired, and he began to struggle to run, and his originally extremely fast speed was also much slower.
Xia Wuping, who found this, sank in his heart, and then glanced around, and after not seeing Yang Lin's figure, Xia Wuping suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Yang Lin was temporarily thrown away, so that his life was finally saved.
Despite this, Xia Wuping still didn't dare to stop, he still ran with all his might, and two quarters of an hour passed, when he passed a small river, Xia Wuping finally couldn't support it anymore, and chose to rest by the river for a while.
There was silence all around, only Xia Wuping's heavy panting continued to echo, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
After resting for a while, Xia Wuping, who was not lightly tired, felt better, and then, he plunged into the river and greedily poured a few mouthfuls of river water, and finally Xia Wuping lay down on the ground, and the nerves that had been tightly sewn slowly relaxed.
What Xia Wuping didn't know was that a dark shadow had come not far from him and was looking at him with interest.
"Looking at your appearance, you should be very tired!"
Without warning, a joking voice sounded, instantly making Xia Wuping, who had just relaxed, change his face greatly, and a carp jumped up and looked around very vigilantly.
Yang Lin walked out of the darkness and said with a smile: "Besides me, who else do you think, you can really run, let me chase for a while." β
Seeing that it was Yang Lin, Xia Wuping's heart suddenly sank, he knew that he was really in danger now, after a lifeless run before, Xia Wuping's physical strength was greatly consumed, which caused his strength to be greatly reduced, he was not Yang Lin's opponent in the first place, and now it is even more difficult to resist.
Xia Wuping was silent for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Young Master Yang, I was wrong, you have a lot, can you let me live, I promise to stay away from Fengzhou from now on, and I will never appear in front of you again in this life and this life." β
Yang Lin sneered: "Xia Wuping, you are also an old river and lake who has been mixed with the green forest for many years, why say such naΓ―ve words, the Hedong Village you worked so hard to manage was destroyed by me, at this moment you are afraid that you can't wait to break my body into ten thousand pieces, such an enemy of life and death, how can I let him go, if it were you, I wouldn't do that, right." β
Xia Wuping opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word, because what Yang Lin said was very right, if he had the opportunity to kill Yang Lin, then Xia Wuping would never hesitate, it was precisely because he understood this that Xia Wuping despaired, he knew that Yang Lin would definitely kill him.
Yang Lin spread his hands and said: "Look, you also understand the truth, so don't blame me, since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain." When you get to the Netherworld, don't sue me in front of Lord Yama, because all this is your own fault, if you are not so greedy to attack Yufeng City, there will be nothing, so go on the road with peace of mind. β
As he spoke, Yang Lin pulled out the Dragon Sword with a whoosh, and then walked slowly towards Xia Wuping, ready to kill him completely.
Seeing this, Xia Wuping roared unwillingly, and then he turned around abruptly and jumped, intending to jump into the river and escape by taking advantage of the rapid river.
Yang Lin snorted coldly, turned his five fingers into claws, and sucked forward, and the next moment, Xia Wuping, who was about to jump into the river, immediately felt an extremely strong suction behind him, and actually sucked his body backwards little by little.
Xia Wuping was shocked, and slammed his palm into the palm of his hand, attacking Yang Lin's faΓ§ade directly.
However, Xia Wuping's attack was easily dispersed by Yang Lin, and then Yang Lin increased his strength with a sinister smile, and sucked Xia Wuping over, and then before he had time to resist, You Long Sword stabbed out fiercely, directly stabbing Xia Wuping through the heart.
Xia Wuping's face was full of disbelief, and he looked at his pierced heart in a daze, unable to believe that he was so dead, so simple, so wretched.
Yang Lin said lightly: "Go on the road with peace of mind, I wish you a good birth in the next life." β
When the words fell, Yang Lin suddenly pulled out the Dragon Sword, Xia Wuping finally let out a miserable scream, and his body fell to the ground weakly, and he was suddenly dead.
After solving Xia Wuping, Yang Lin did not stop, turned around and strode away, although Xia Wuping has been solved, but there are still many people in Hedongzhai, Yang Lin left early, and he doesn't know what the final battle situation is.
Yang Lin returned the same way, and the time to go back was much faster, and it only took a variety of pieces to return to the place where the two sides fought before.
By the time Yang Lin returned, the battle here had come to an end, and the officers and soldiers had won a complete victory, not only killing more than 2,000 bandits, but also capturing more than 1,000 people, harvesting hundreds of horses of varying quality and quality, as well as a number of money and food.
What satisfied Yang Lin the most was that although he was not there, several newly promoted generals arranged everything in an orderly manner and did not appear to be disordered at all, which made Yang Lin smile involuntarily.
Yang Lin nodded secretly and said: "It seems that my vision is still quite good, and the people promoted are quite talented, and they are not the ones who are in wine bags and rice bags." β
After a big victory, the officers and soldiers are also in a good mood, many people have said and laughed, but this atmosphere after Yang Lin came back, immediately disappeared cleanly, because Yang Lin was in charge of the military power before, directly killed those old generals, in the hearts of the officers and soldiers, Yang Lin is a murderous demon king, for his awe, but also far better than the old master Yuan Guishan, so as soon as Yang Lin came back, the surrounding scene was suddenly quiet, all the officers and soldiers were silent, looking at Yang Lin in awe.
Several generals quickly greeted him, respectfully saluted Yang Lin, and then waited honestly on the side, waiting for Yang Lin's orders.
Yang Lin glanced at a few generals and asked: How is it, how many thieves in Hedongzhai have escaped.
A military general with the highest position, named Qian Liehua, stood up and replied with his fists in his fists: "Report to the prince, after the efforts of the soldiers, most of the bandits have been eliminated, and in the end only five or six hundred people escaped.
Yang Lin nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: How are our own casualties in this battle?
Qian Liehua immediately replied: Since you defeated the thief leader Xia Wuping with thunder means, making the battle situation a one-sided situation, our casualties are not large, less than five hundred, and this battle is a complete victory.
Hearing this result, Yang Lin was also a little surprised, in a big battle of more than 15,000 people, there were only less than 500 casualties on his side, which was really a bit unexpected, originally Yang Lin himself expected that the lowest casualties would also exceed 1,000.
For a while, Yang Lin's mood was very big, and everyone was pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: Very good, all the soldiers have performed well, and when they go back, this son will definitely reward meritorious deeds.
Hearing this, several generals in front of him hurriedly thanked them, these people were all promoted by Yang Lin from the bottom, so they are still quite loyal to Yang Lin, and as a superior, they must know how to distinguish rewards and punishments, which Yang Lin has always done well, taking advantage of this victory, Yang Lin is ready to buy people's hearts next.
The diehards have almost killed before, and the rest are available people, so the previous high-pressure methods can be withdrawn, and the time after that is to give the officers and soldiers enough benefits, so that they can deeply understand that they will follow Yang Lin to mix meat to eat, and after a long time, the officers and soldiers will gradually forget the past and really work for Yang Lin willingly.
Of course, if you want to do this, it will take a long time, but fortunately, Yang Lin has time and can wait slowly.
Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, Yang Lin did not show any expression on his face, looked up at the sky, and then ordered: "Set up camp in place, stay here for the night, and tomorrow morning, we will set off and return." β
The last general commands!
Qian Liehua and the others agreed in unison, and then dispersed and got busy with their work.
The battle on Yang Lin's side has come to an end, and the speed can be described as extremely fast, but the situation in other places is not so good.
Far away in the deep mountains more than 200 miles away, Kang Yihu was ordered to lead the troops to pursue the men and horses of Qingtian Village, the battle situation on Kang Yihu's side was not smooth, when they finally caught up with the people and horses of Qingtian Village, they found that the thieves had already taken precautions, and more than 2,000 bandits in Qingtian Village all hid in the deep mountains, occupying favorable terrain, in the face of this situation, Kang Yihu's face immediately darkened, knowing that this battle might be difficult to fight.
Kang Yihu is a very self-aware person, he knows that he doesn't understand the arrangement of troops, so he immediately summoned several generals arranged by Yang Lin to him, ready to listen to their opinions.
In the makeshift camp, Kang Yihu and a few generals sat down, and then Kang Yihu said in a deep voice: Everyone, what is the current situation, I think you also know it, everyone is working for Gongzi, and no one wants to be defeated, so I hope you will show real skills, come up with countermeasures, solve the difficulties in front of you, and say something ugly, if the battle is lost, I will not be able to escape the punishment of Gongzi, but everyone sitting here will not feel good, Gongzi's means, presumably everyone does not want to experience it personally.
Hearing this, several generals sitting there all looked serious, they were originally depressed people, after Yang Lin took over the military power, due to the lack of talents, he saw that they had the ability, but they were promoted in the past, this is the first time to work for Yang Lin, the new master, this group of generals are also ready to perform well, want Yang Lin to see their ability, so even if Kang Yihu does not say, they will go all out.
Several generals looked at each other a few times, but in the end, one of the youngest generals spoke, only to hear the young general clasp his fists and say: "Master Kang, don't worry, we are fortunate to be valued by Gongzi and promoted to a high position, in order to repay Gongzi's kindness, we will definitely do our best to help you and exterminate all the thieves in Qingtian Village." β
Hearing this, Kang Yihu immediately nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "In this way, Kang is very thankful, I don't know if you can have a clever plan to solve the problem in front of you." β
The young general said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a way to solve the difficulties in front of me. β
Hearing this, Kang Yihu couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked: "What is the solution, let's hear it." β
The young general said solemnly: There is a team under the command of the last general, named 'Gecko', all of them are agile people, and it is not a problem to cross mountains and mountains, and the last general is willing to play the forward and lead the men and horses under his command to open the way for the army.
Kang Yihu didn't agree at the first time, and he was a little suspicious in his heart, after all, his words were unfounded, he couldn't easily listen to others' words and make hasty decisions, Kang Yihu had been with Yang Lin for a long time, and he was no longer the reckless man he used to be.
Seeing Kang Yihu's hesitation, the other generals spoke one after another, saying that what the young generals said was true, and they could testify to it.
Seeing that so many people were supporting the young general, Kang Yihu gritted his teeth, finally stopped hesitating, and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll believe you once, I hope you will do what you say, don't let me down." β
The young general said in a deep voice: Don't worry, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and the last general is willing to make a military order, and if the mission fails, he is willing to come to see him.
Kang Yihu saw that the other party was even willing to make a military order, and he suddenly had a lot of confidence in his heart, he opened his mouth and wanted to give an official order, but at this time he remembered that he didn't know the name of this young general, so Kang Yihu asked a little embarrassed: "I was in a hurry just now, I forgot to ask your name, I don't know your name." β
The former general said with a smile: "Lord Hui, the last general is called Song Ke." β
Kang Yihu said solemnly: "Okay, General Song Ke, Lord Ben ordered you to lead the 'gecko' team under your command to open the way for the army, this matter is very important, I hope you go all out, don't let everyone down." β
The last will obey!
Song Ke said yes loudly, then turned and strode out of the makeshift tent.
Song Ke quickly gathered the gecko team under his command, and then led people to secretly walk towards the mountain road in front, and after walking about two hundred meters, Song Ke and the others stopped and looked at the mountains on both sides.
I saw that the firelight could be faintly seen above, and from time to time there would be figures shaking, and the number of people looking at the figures, there should be a lot of people, Song Ke stared at it for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Start acting!"
As soon as Song Ke's words came out, ten members of the gecko team walked out, all of them were fully armed, and in addition to weapons, they carried all kinds of things, looking like juggling charlatans, and their appearance was somewhat ridiculous.
Ten members of the gecko squad untied the strange iron hook hanging on their waists, and then they climbed up, their bodies slowly upward, and silently, not long after, they have climbed to a height of seven or eight meters, such skills, if placed on the body of a martial arts master, it is not surprising at all, but these ten gecko squad members are ordinary officers and soldiers at a glance, without any true qi on their bodies, and now they have to make such a difficult move, so it has to be surprising.
Under Song Ke's gaze, the ten team members used a lot of strength to finally climb to the top, and not long after, they threw down ten thick hemp ropes from the top, Song Ke saw this, and immediately smiled slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Everyone go, climb up." β
After speaking, Song Ke grabbed one of the ropes and climbed up with all his might, and the team of one hundred people under Song Ke's command, after two quarters of an hour, all climbed to the top, and then slowly approached forward, according to the report of the spies, not far ahead, was the camp of Qingtian Village.
Suddenly, Song Ke frowned, feeling that something was wrong, because the camp in front of him was too quiet, there were more than 2,000 people in Qingtian Village, and even if so many people slept quietly, there would be a lot of faint movements, but the bandit camp in front of him was quiet.
Song Ke was silent for a while, and then immediately took a few of his best team members to touch it, and after solving a few patrolling bandits, he successfully touched into the camp, and finally Song Ke walked into a nearby camp tent, and the next moment, after Song Ke saw the situation inside the camp clearly, his pupils couldn't help shrinking.
Because the huge camp tent was empty, and there was no one, Song Ke's heart sank, and he immediately turned around and walked out of this camp tent, ran to another camp next door, and continued to check, and the results were the same, and the camp next door was also empty.
"Hit the mark!"
Song Ke exhaled slowly, and then commanded the team members in a deep voice: "Go back immediately and report to Lord Kang, the camp set up on the mountain in Qingtian Village is a trick, and the other party has secretly left." β
The team members also knew that the stakes were high, and after saying yes, they turned around and ran out.
When Kang Yihu got the news, he was immediately shocked and angry, they were actually played like monkeys by the people of Qingtian Village, which was really a great shame, and they were disgraced to their grandmother's house.
Kang Yihu was furious, but he did not forget his business, and immediately led the army to pull out the camp and pursue, bound to catch up with the thieves and completely annihilate them.
However, it was obviously too late, because this place was not far from the old lair of Qingtian Village, and when Kang Yihu led his troops to pursue all night, he got the news that the people of Qingtian Village had successfully returned to their lair, and now it was much more difficult to exterminate them than before.
Such a result made Kang Yihu angry and scolded his mother, he asked himself that he was careful enough, and he didn't dare to be careless along the way, but he didn't expect to end up in the way of a thief, as soon as he thought of this, Kang Yihu gritted his teeth with hatred, and at the same time Ji Ancai's treacherous appearance appeared in his mind.
It is said that Ji Da is as cunning as a fox in Qingtian Village, Kang Yihu didn't care about it before, but now he finally knows that what he said is true, after scolding for a while, Kang Yihu gritted his teeth and said: I don't believe it, I can run the monk, I can't run the temple, the nest of Qingtian Village is here, if Ji Ancai dares to slip away again, then he will be homeless, Kang Yihu immediately decided, all 5,000 people and horses attacked, and attacked Qingtian Village.
When Song Ke and the others heard this decision, their faces changed, now is not the time to be rash, Qingtian Village is the nest that Ji Ancai has been operating for more than ten years, God knows how many traps there are here, once they attack rashly, the consequences are unimaginable, Song Ke and the others feel that they should temporarily stand still and send people back to ask for help.
However, Kang Yihu was already dizzy, he was already earnest, he might be able to hold back at the beginning and listen to other people's opinions, but now he has been tricked hard, and in a hurry, Kang Yihu no longer grinds and chirps, and he is ruthless, he must make Ji Ancai and other thieves look good.
Song Ke and others persuaded to no avail, and they were helpless, after all, Kang Yihu was the chief officer, and he insisted on attacking, and Song Ke and others had no choice but to carry out the order.
So, under Kang Yihu's order, 5,000 officers and soldiers stormed Qingtian Village and left.
Ji Ancai, who got the news, was not surprised, Qingtian Village was run by him like an iron bucket, with countless traps, not to mention a small 5,000 people, even if the number increased tenfold, he was not afraid, and then Ji Ancai smiled and gave orders, letting his subordinates perform their duties and prepare for the engine to be turned off.
Kang Yihu was brave, and in order to boost morale, he rushed to the forefront and slowly walked towards the location of Qingtian Village.
Song Ke and the others were very anxious, afraid that Kang Yihu would have something to do, once Kang Yihu had an accident, Song Ke and the others would not have good fruits to eat, and they might not be able to keep the position of the general who had not yet sat down, and they would be beaten back to their original shape in minutes.
