(In the new week, thank you for the generous rewards of book friends "alvin4933", "Maple Leaf Falling", "Flower Appreciation and Jade" and "Book Friend 140512173555278"!)
The officers and men woke up, tightened their hands with their weapons, lined up again in a line, and marched quickly into the mountain: the absolute superiority in numbers re-established their self-confidence in their hearts. And on Chen Sanlang's side, the force shown by Xu Jun and Crab He is also like a shot in the arm, bringing confidence to everyone.
This trip went surprisingly well.
"Look, that's the old lair of Black Wind Village!"
After crossing a mountain col, the forward team stopped, pointed to the hillside in front and said, and the people behind came forward to look.
It is said that it is a cottage, but it is very simple, that is, to open up a place, fenced around, and there are more than a dozen houses inside. There were huts and stones made of stones, but there were not many, only two.
Near the cottage, there was no pass in sight, only some thistles were scattered on the ground very casually, and the sharp edge emitted a cold light.
It's just that Black Wind Village wants to intercept the army's attack just with these things, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Tan Gao sneered: "It must be that the thief has not been here for a long time, and he can't build a perfect village." ”
This is a fact, according to the intelligence information, this gang of strongmen is indeed a new rise, and in the absence of time and manpower, such a place can only be built. As for those powerful cottages, they are basically built after several years of operation.
One of the team members asked, "Commander, will these thieves escape?"
Hearing this, Tan Gao clenched his fists. Thieves are not fools. Knowing that he is invincible, he naturally will not stay where he is and wait to be besieged. Even with family. But escaping is not a problem. After all, the reality is here, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. When you drill into it, it is like water dripping into the sea, and it is easy to hide.
However, he also thought about this possibility before he came, since ancient times, officers and soldiers have suppressed bandits, just like fire burning weeds, and they can never be burned clean. A fire burned, and after a while, the weeds came out again.
Therefore, Tan Gao didn't think that he could catch the other party this time. That's not realistic. As long as you destroy the thieves' den, kill some thieves, and go back with your head, you will return triumphantly.
"Hey, the chimneys in those houses are still smoking......"
Sure enough, I saw green smoke curling up, and it was very leisurely wafting out.
The officers and soldiers looked at each other and felt incredible:
Dare to love these thieves not only did not run away, but instead cooked in a leisurely manner. What is the situation?
Tan Gao was also a little dazed, and couldn't help but look at Chen Sanlang: "Lord Chen, look?"
His attitude changed dramatically, and he began to put down his body. took the initiative to ask Chen Sanlang's opinion.
Chen Sanlang touched his nose, but he couldn't think of a reason: there must be a demon when things are abnormal.
This matter here is full of mystery. I always felt that something was not quite right. His eyes kept roving, and suddenly he paused. The nose sniffed.
Tan Gao asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Sanlang's face changed suddenly: "Not good!"
Tan Gao was taken aback: "What happened?"
"Fire, thieves have set fire to the mountain!"
Anyway, Chen Sanlang clearly smelled a smell of fire oil just now. The taste is not small.
"How is that possible?"
Tan Gao really jumped up now, it was unbelievable.
Setting fire to the mountain was a trick used by officers and men in the past to encircle and suppress the bandits and to attack them for a long time. Now it's good, the whole thing is upside down, and the officers and soldiers actually let the thieves set fire.
The weather is hot and dry, there are many trees on the mountain, dead branches and fallen leaves, everywhere, once it is ignited, it is a scene that stretches for thousands of miles, not to mention, it is also poured with fire oil?
The officers and soldiers were in an uproar, and when Huo Ran turned around, he saw that in the forest behind him, there was a crackle, and a fire dragon quickly formed, bursting into flames several feet high.
Tan Gao was anxious: "Quick, go put out the fire and find a way out!"
At this time, there was no longer any way to suppress the bandits, and it was vital to escape for life.
A detachment of officers and soldiers cut down the thick branches of the trees, made brooms, and went to put out the fire. However, when he got close and swung a few times, his hair and eyebrows were scorched by the scorching waves, so he had to run back quickly:
"General, the fire has been completed, and it cannot be extinguished......"
Tan Gao looked up to the sky and sighed: "Do you really want to be buried in the sea of fire today...... Unwilling, really unwilling!"
Chen Sanlang immediately decided: "General Tan, today's plan is to go to the Black Wind Village to avoid it." ”
Tan Gao couldn't react a little, now that the mountains are on fire, what's the use of entering the Black Wind Village?
Chen Sanlang paused: "Jun'er, let's go." ”
Lead the officials to rush to the Black Wind Village.
Seeing this, Tan Gao gritted his teeth, but he couldn't care about it, and immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers to follow Chen Sanlang and them.
When I entered the village, I saw that the rooms inside were empty, and there was no one, and the so-called cooking smoke was also formed by a charcoal fire a long time ago.
This is the rhythm of playing the empty city plan.
Chen Sanlang scolded secretly, time was pressing, and hurriedly called Tan Gao, asking him to send a team of officers and soldiers outside to clear a circle of places, and then send a team of people to get out all the water that could be found and prepare it.
The area is cleared to prevent the spread of fire, and as for the role of water, it goes without saying.
Tan Gao slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes." ”
immediately gave an order, looked at Chen Sanlang's eyes, and it was clearly different: how could such a quick and wise performance be something that a nerd could do?
As the thieves opened up the area and established the stockade, the trees that were too close to each other on the four sides were cut down, so that a lot of effort was saved. The only thing that gets in the way is thistles sprinkled all over the ground, or some antlers. The officers and soldiers in charge of cleaning up accidentally stepped on it and were hit, and blood flowed.
However, the fire was fierce and the smoke was billowing out, and when it was about to burn, all the officers and men were in a hurry, digging pits and turning over the soil with all their might.
Inside the village, the process of searching for water was not smooth, and it was only after searching almost all the places that I found not much water. It seems that the thieves were also on guard, and the house was kept to paralyze the officers and soldiers, but the water was lacking.
Tan Gao and Chen Sanlang led everyone to watch the fire nervously, and the mountain wind blew thick smoke and fluttered, which was very choking.
Chen Sanlang hurriedly tore off the strip of cloth, wet the water, and covered his mouth and nose.
This is an effective way to resist thick smoke, and when the others saw this, they hurriedly drew a scoop according to the gourd and protected their mouth and nose with a damp cloth. But the mouth and nose are fine, and the eyes are smoked, and the tears flow.
At this time, the fire zone outside had been basically cleared, and everyone had withdrawn.
Chen Sanlang said: "Everyone enter the house and close the doors and windows." ”
Tan Gao's mouth was dry, and he asked, "What if the fire burns to the village?"
Chen Sanlang glanced at him: "Then leave it to fate." ”
Fortunately, there are many houses in the village, and the space is quite spacious, which can accommodate a lot of people. Among them, the stone structure house is the most popular, but there are only two, Tan Gao is not allowed to occupy one, and those who can enter are all personal guards and soldiers, and the other is led by Chen Sanlang to enter the office.
Crab He was a little anxious: It's over, it's over, it's going to be boiled now! If only we could call the wind and rain......
This is an extravagant fantasy, and many big demons may not be able to master such magical powers as calling the wind and rain.
Crackling, the wind fueled the fire, and it swept so fast that it didn't take long for it to burn near the stockade and to the edge of the fire-proof zone.
From a bird's-eye view from the sky, a green hill at the end of the good end has become a sea of fire. (To be continued......)
