Chapter 13 The army is dispatched and the mountain is set on fire

By the time Qin Wu hurried to turn around, the inferior horse he was riding was already out of breath and about to fall, and Qin Wu's whip barely stopped along the way, and he drove back as fast as he could. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After verifying his identity, the soldiers guarding the pass let Qin Wu enter the Hezong Pass, and then Qin Wu ran all the way towards the camp of the Tiger Ben Army.

"Where is General Zhenhan?" Qin Wu asked, grabbing a sergeant from the Tiger Ben Army.

The sergeant looked at Qin Wu with an anxious face, and he didn't ask, and directly took Qin Wu to the school where the general was.

"General Zhenhan!" Qin Wu knelt down on one knee and said.

"Oh, you've only been back for a day?" Xiang Hui was surprised at first, and when he saw Qin Wu's embarrassed appearance, his face couldn't help but become solemn, "What about the others, why are you so embarrassed?"

Qin Wu replied: "General, live up to the general's expectations......

Qin Wu quickly told Xiang Hui everything they had encountered, Xiang Hui didn't even believe what Qin Wu said about the thousands of thieves at first, but looking at Qin Wu's appearance, it didn't seem to be lying......

Qin Wu pleaded with Xiang Hui: "Please also ask the general to send troops immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Xiang Hui was silent for a moment, and said with self-reproach: "Thousands, thousands...... How could it be...... If it's really as you said, then you can't blame you for this failure, such a big gang has not been discovered by me right under my nose, and I should be punished myself. ”

"Ma Dong!" Xiang Hui shouted to one of the lieutenants beside him.

Ma Dong immediately stood up and said respectfully: "The last general!"

Xiang Hui continued: "Pass my order to dispatch the captains of the second, third, and fourth battalions, and let all the men and horses under their command assemble. ”

"Qin Wu, you have found out major information this time, let us alert these thousands of bandits in advance, it is a great achievement, and now I specially order you to be the captain of the overseer army, lead three battalions of men and horses, go to exterminate the bandits, and be sure to raze them for me!"

Qin Wu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "General, it is not good to have to be promoted like this before you have made military achievements, and this is not my credit alone, there are ......"

Xiang Hui didn't wait for Qin Wu to finish speaking, and said, "I will complete the casualty compensation and other people's rewards another day." As for promoting you, I said before that I will never bury your strength, do you want to let yourself be a soldier for a while? Now that the opportunity to prove yourself has come, you still don't take it?"

Qin Wu was silent, he knew that Xiang Hui was a careful person, since Xiang Hui dared to entrust himself with such a heavy task, this showed that he really valued himself very much.

Xiang Hui continued: "Now I want you to show your strength and lead the men and horses to exterminate that group of bandits, can you do it?"

Qin Wu replied: "General Qin Wu Xie appreciates it, but this matter is considered to be appropriate by the general himself, this number of bandits is not to be underestimated, and they are well-equipped, and their skills are not like ordinary rabble, I hope the general will think twice." ”

Thousands of thieves and the Seven Tigers of Black Mountain, those are two completely unequal concepts, Qin Wu still hopes that Xiang Hui can treat this matter carefully.

Xiang Hui nodded and said, "I naturally know that there must be something strange about such a large number of bandits suddenly appearing without warning......

“...... However, the annual founding celebration is approaching, which is an important festival in the Han Kingdom after the New Year, and there will also be a small celebration in the army to relieve the pressure on the sergeants, although I am not very in favor, but I can't stop it. ”

"And the Yang Kingdom has declared war on us for a long time, although they have not made any moves recently, but after all, they are still at war, and we must not relax. ”

"Although there are many of these bandits, it is not difficult to solve them, but I am worried that their gathering is not accidental, but some conspiracy......

"If there is no conspiracy, it is naturally the best, but if there is, then I must guard the Hezong Pass, and the importance of the Hezong Pass to the Han State do you understand?"

Qin Wu nodded, if the Hezong Pass was lost, then the enemy army would be able to advance in a big way, and the entire Han Kingdom would fall into a bitter battle.

Xiang Hui saw Qin Wu nodding, and he himself nodded and said, "It's good that you understand, and this matter will be handled by you." ”

Then Xiang Hui sighed again and said slowly: "Actually, it's not that I don't have no other candidates to send, it's just ......"

Qin Wu listened quietly and did not reply.

Xiang Hui continued: "You have been here for a while, and you should know the opinions of other armies. ”

Qin Wu was silent, yes, he knew. The other armies are coarse tea and light rice, but the Tiger Ben Army is chicken, duck and fish, the other armies wear ordinary armor and receive general military salaries, but the Tiger Ben Army is special armor and receive five times their military salaries.

While this kind of treatment brings envy, this superior treatment also causes many people to be jealous. Although the sergeants under the command of the Tiger Ben Army are all strictly disciplined, but because of Xiang Hui's "unapproachable" benchmark, many people feel that the Tiger Ben Army is also all unfriendly and arrogant, and some people would rather have a bad relationship with the people of the Tiger Ben Army than with the people of the Tiger Ben Army.

Don't hate poverty, only hate unevenness, everyone is a guard of the pass, why is the Tiger Army so special?

Xiang Hui continued: "Although everything in our Tiger Army is obtained by ourselves, and we are not afraid of those gossips, but this is indeed isolated in a sense. ”

At this time, the deputy general Ma Dong on the side also nodded in agreement, as a deputy general, he knew Xiang Hui's difficulties, and the Tiger Ben Army could have today, almost all of which were supported by Xiang Hui alone.

"Although there are many people in my Tiger Army, there are very few good generals who can solve my problems, and in this case, I urgently need talents who can be my right-hand man. And you are not only a first-class master, but also stable and not arrogant. Therefore, I hope that you will not live up to my trust. Xiang Hui's heavy hand slapped on Qin Wu's shoulder, making Qin Wu feel Xiang Hui's weight on him.

Although it was very hasty and abrupt, this was indeed a passion in Qin Wu's heart, which was exactly the blood and glory he expected when he joined the army!

The army was quickly assembled and ready to go, and Qin Wu also sorted out his outfit and came to the army. The Tiger Ben Army was very united and efficient, and Qin Wudu's identity as a military captain was quickly confirmed, and the other three captains were standing in front of Qin Wu, clasping their fists and saluting him.

Qin Wu also replied: "This mission is very important, and I hope that the three of you will take care of you when you first arrive." ”

The three of them replied one after another: "Captain Qin, you are the overseer personally set by the general, we believe in the general's choice, and naturally believe in your strength." ”

"Thank you!" Qin Wu nodded in thanks, "Without further ado, let's go!"

"Drive!"

Under the command of Qin Wu, the three thousand army all moved, and poured out of the Hezong Pass, and they also received the villagers led by Zheng Deyi and Meng Jun on the way, and when they learned that this was going to take revenge, Zheng Deyi and Meng Jun both expressed their desire to go together.

However, Qin Wu took into account Meng Jun's injury, and finally let him go back to recuperate, as for Zheng Deyi, he was not injured, but he could go together.

However, on the way, Zheng Deyi also said one thing to Qin Wu, that is, when the village was evacuated, Yin Pu, who was imprisoned by the villagers, took advantage of the chaos and fled.

Qin Wu just responded, this Yin concealed and ran away, anyway, he was useless.

The only thing I care about is whether this Yin Concealment is really cowardly and I don't know, or if it is a fake to deceive them the number of thieves, if it is the former, just run away, just a gangster, but if it is the latter, it is natural to kill Yin Conceal and then quickly.

But now is not the time to pay attention to this concealment, what matters now is the thousands of bandits in Hufeng Mountain.

When the army rushed back to Hufeng Mountain, there were no thieves in sight, only the bodies of Wang Wei and Lin Ruijing were still lying in place, and at the same time, Wei Gao's corpses were also thrown down by the bandits......

Qin Wu had their bodies brought back for burial, and then had the army surround Hufeng Mountain and put them on complete alert.

"Overseer Qin, then we will start preparing to go up the mountain now?" the captain of the second battalion asked Qin Wu.

Qin Wu thought for a moment and rejected the proposal, he said: "Although this Hufeng Mountain is not big, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and many places cannot be climbed, and the bandits have hundreds of strong bows and many traps, so the army has no advantage to enter like this. ”

The captain of the second battalion asked Qin Wu, "What do you mean by the overseer?"

"Burn!" Qin Wu said without hesitation, "Set fire to the mountain, this Hufeng Mountain is just a small mountain, although the mountain is complicated, it is only a hundred meters high, a radius of several miles, and there are no other mountains around it, so you can easily burn the mountain clean!"

"Understood!" the captain of the second battalion immediately left and assigned someone to burn the mountain.

The fire soon ignited at the foot of the mountain, but it was not autumn time, there were no dead branches and leaves on the mountain, and the fire was slow, so we had to wait for the fire to burn slowly.

Zheng Deyi looked at the raging fire, gritted his teeth and said, "Burn well! Burn these damn guys!"

Zheng Deyi's friendship with Wang Wei and them was much deeper than Qin Wu's friendship with them, and he was now eager to cramp and skin the bandit who killed his brother.

"Don't worry. Qin Wu squeezed Zheng Deyi's shoulders, "They will all die, they will!"

Although the foot of the mountain was already full of flames, it didn't burn very quickly, and it seemed that it would take quite a while. After Qin Wu and the others stood for a while, they walked away to rest in the distance, quietly waiting for the fire to spread......
