Chapter 378: Things are getting bigger
Syllable!!
Two iron galls flew past the sides of the head of the red-clothed swordsman leader who had survived with a terrifying sound of breaking the air, making him tremble all over, as long as he deviated a little, his head would be shattered like an egg, and the two iron galls embedded in the pillar behind him also proved that his worries were not without reason.
"Very good, there is an army in ambush, I have a big face in the big knife gate!" The anger on the face of the current master of the big knife gate, Dao San, slowly disappeared, and instead showed a sneer.
Although I don't know who the other party is, it is a fact that the loss of more than half of the red-clothed swordsmen is a fact, and this kind of loss is already a nerve-wracking for the big knife gate, because of the lack of enough masters to sit in the town, the big knife gate will definitely give up some local businesses in order to avoid losses, in order to concentrate on dealing with the greedy jackals who are attracted, but this is not an opportunity.
"Send an invitation to General He, saying that one of my heavy darts in the Dadaomen was robbed by an unknown army, and I asked him to discuss the matter. Dao San said with his hands behind his back, and the leader of the red-clothed swordsmen immediately responded, and then hurriedly retreated while breathing a sigh of relief.
"Whoever kills me will pay me enough. Dao San said with a sneer, he didn't care who the other party was, the person who moved his big knife gate had to pay the price of blood, which was also the reason why the big knife gate as an outsider was able to lay down such a situation in just a few decades.
With the power of the big knife gate, not only in the green forest is quite prestigious, but also in the official network has enough, the local garrison General He is a line carefully managed by Daosan, and he has solved a lot of problems in the green forest for him before, he got a new dart road, and the other party has also obtained benefits and credits, so the cooperation between the two sides has been quite tacit.
This time the big knife door lost a lot of masters, but it is not without benefits, after all, the power of the big knife door has caused the jealousy of some official collaborators, this time the big knife door has been lost, I am afraid that they are the happiest, but for the sake of interests, they will not let the big knife door suffer serious losses, and will definitely give some benefits, this is the opportunity for the big knife door to go further, after all, as long as there is enough silver, the swordsmen on the rivers and lakes have a lot of moves, although they are not as loyal as the swordsmen they trained, it is enough to use them to deal with emergencies.
In addition, the army that besieged and killed his red-clothed swordsman in Dadaomen is also a great credit, after all, the other party is definitely not the army of the imperial court, and training private soldiers is a great crime of rebellion, and it is also a great merit, I believe that General He, who has cooperated with him many times, will not let go of this great opportunity.
Sure enough, just as Dao San expected, General He quickly came on horseback, and first went to check the wounds of the surviving red-clothed swordsmen, which turned out to be really the wounds caused by the standard weapons in the army, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised.
I am surprised that such an army has appeared in my own territory, which is the crime of negligence, and the good thing is that if I solve this big case by touching the vine, I am afraid that even the emperor will personally receive him, which is a great merit.
General He knows the strength of the red-clothed swordsman of the big knife gate, each of them is a second-rate master of the rivers and lakes, and is proficient in cooperation, if you want to leave most of the opponent in the way of encirclement, you need at least three hundred elite soldiers, if it is an ordinary soldier, it will be more, almost a thousand people, after all, the red-clothed swordsman is not an ordinary soldier, but a master of the rivers and lakes, if you want to surround and leave most of their manpower, the number of people you need is not a small number.
And those who can afford to raise soldiers and horses of this scale will never be ordinary forces, if it is really a big case, even if it is not, he will make him a big case, and it will depend on this time to get promoted and make a fortune.
General He is confident that he will take this credit, after all, don't look at the world now, but the court is still there, and the garrisons around the country still have a certain combat effectiveness, with the three thousand men and horses under his command, as long as it is not those old forces, there is no one he can't deal with.
Yan Xu, who didn't know all this, enjoyed a rare purity, after all, with the help of the Yin soldiers and ghost generals, a radius of ten miles was in his hands, he could fight if he wanted to, and no one could find him if he didn't want to fight, which felt simply amazing.
However, after all, the Yin soldiers and ghost generals belong to ghosts, even if they are protected by incense and his purple qi, they can't travel in the daytime for a long time, not to mention that although they killed a lot of red-clothed swordsmen last time, those copper beans have also lost their luster, and they are still full of knife marks, and they need to be recuperated with mana for at least a month before they can be used again, so Yan Xu can only temporarily avoid those swarming Jianghu people.
But Yan Xu didn't expect that his evasion would make General He, who couldn't be found, even more suspicious, after all, it was impossible for an army of hundreds or thousands of people to leave no traces, and there must be a greater force to help cover it up.
General He, who became more and more anxious, in order to avoid implicating himself, after all, it was an incident that occurred within his jurisdiction, and finally gritted his teeth and reported the matter.
Good guy, because for the sake of face and to avoid the severe punishment of Daosan, the red-clothed swordsman exaggerated the strength of the other party, just like many of his subordinates who made mistakes, saying that he was ambushed by thousands of elite soldiers.
Dao San also believed, after all, he knew very well what the red-clothed swordsman was, although he was not a first-class master, he could be regarded as a good hand in the second-rate, and he was proficient in cooperation, if he wanted to say that a hundred elite soldiers could kill them and flee in embarrassment, Dao San would definitely not believe it, the leader of the red-clothed swordsman who was familiar with Dao San's character simply exaggerated his opponent, and Dao San also knew these ways of his subordinates, so he folded the other party's words in half, so there are still three or five hundred elite soldiers, which is also more reasonable.
But Dao San is not a general in the army, I don't know that the elite soldiers are not simply trained, why there are no elite soldiers in the hinterland, but since ancient times, the elite soldiers have gone out of the border pass, it is because the elite soldiers will only appear on the battlefield, and at this time, although there is a faint chaos in the world, there has been no war, so General He believes in the number of people said by the red-clothed swordsman, and even feels that the other party said less, after all, the soldiers they met are definitely not all of the surroundment.
So if he can't find a clue, he can only report the matter, after all, if those troops who don't know where to hide make a big mess, let alone the credit, he will not be able to eat and walk away if he doesn't report it.
After receiving the report of General He, which Shangguan was taken aback, and hurriedly reported to the imperial court, after all, thousands of soldiers and horses are enough to break through the county seat, if it is used properly, the general government may not be able to stop it, knowing that this matter is important, of course, it must be reported quickly, and send people to investigate the matter.
However, he was delayed by General He for a few days, and although there were red-clothed swordsmen leading the way, he couldn't find many clues, but he could still identify an elite army that had fought in this battle.
That's enough, it's enough to prove that this army is real, and it doesn't matter how many people there are, because in the end it's not what they say, it's a tradition to kill good people and risk merit.
