Chapter 821: It's on Fire
As for the treasure map, it's a hot potato. Yiyun can see it, and Xue Zhutou seems to be still looking forward to it passionately, then let him be, if it is really in his hands, see if he can catch it!
Yiyun's cheerfulness surprised Xue Zhutou, and he didn't want him to think about it again, in the matter of suppressing bandits, Yiyun himself said that he was willing to cooperate. It is obvious that Huang Cun has a request for himself, so Yiyun probably knows that he can't fight, so he is so interested and doesn't fight.
The next point of discussion is the treasure map.
Yiyun has promised that he only wants to catch Xie Datie, and the treasure map will belong to Xue Zhutou, and everyone will talk about cooperation in the future; now Yiyun is willing to make concessions on the issue of dealing with the bandits, but it is not that Yiyun also agrees with this distribution method in the matter of the distribution of treasures.
He said it solemnly on the surface, but inside he was secretly funny. In Xue Zhutou's opinion, Yiyun's reaction couldn't be more normal, he thinks that Yiyun wants to exchange the current little sweetness for the big benefits in the future, hehe, who can say what will happen in the future...... Even the small ones refuse to let go, let alone the big ones.
Both of them tacitly made their own plans and did not say anything.
The meeting ended quickly, and the two men got to know each other better and were both satisfied with the outcome of the conversation.
Finally, after coordinating the time of action, they parted ways and went back to prepare.
In order to cooperate with the operation and cover the arrival of Xue's head catcher, Yiyun spent two more days after returning to the village to harass the Great Black Mountain again, making the bandits exhausted, and he did not notice the traces of the team coming from the direction of the county seat at all.
Before the official launch of the operation, Yiyun ended the operation early, so that the bandits on the Great Black Mountain could relax and sleep well. And this time is the beginning of the anti-bandit operation.
Xue Zhutou accepted Yiyun's Jianyi, mainly attacking at night and carrying out surprise attacks, so in the second half of the night, under the surprise of the bandits, Xue Zhutou was excited to see that his men and horses were like bamboos all the way, and they successively captured several important passes. By dawn, we had come to the main entrance of the cottage, which was the last entrance. As long as this position is broken again, then the bandits from the largest to the smallest will have no way to escape!
But by this time, the bandits had already figured out what was going on, and knew that this was the most critical moment, and when life and death were at stake, they had already made all kinds of preparations and defended desperately.
And Xue Zhutou's men and horses are like rainbows, and they are attacking at the moment.
At this time, Yiyun took his apprentices to cruise around the mountain, according to Xue Zhutou's "arrangement". I pick up leaks on the periphery, and I wander around idly as if I am shopping.
But the attack in front of the main gate of the cottage was finally thwarted, and Xue Zhutou's team was stubbornly resisted by the bandits, and could not move forward;
By the time Xue Zhutou asked people to invite Yiyun in disgrace, he had completely exhausted his skills. It's hard to ride a tiger.
Yiyun had already expected this situation, but it was just because Xue Zhutou didn't pay much attention to his opinion and didn't want him to get involved.
To put it simply, the Great Black Mountain Cottage is located on a natural suspended platform under the main peak. There is only one narrow road, where no amount of manpower can be used, and the bandits, on the contrary, can concentrate their hands on the platform and shoot arrows downward.
Therefore, it is not possible to blindly attack from the back, and that will only be beaten in vain.
"Then what should I do now?" Xue Zhutou asked Yiyun anxiously.
This copycat Yiyun has already been mixed in once. He had already studied what to do more than once before the operation began.
So his idea for Xue Zhutou was to attack with fire: "As long as we send a group of people to quietly climb to the main peak, and then throw the ignition materials onto the platform from top to bottom, the bandits will be gone." Because the houses in the cottage are all made of local materials. All the wood is used, as long as it burns and the wind is strong on the mountain, they will not have time to save it. ”
However, Xue Zhutou pointed to the steep slope on the platform with a bitter face: "It's easy to say! What kind of ignition materials are there on it? Obviously, the bandits have taken precautions and have already cut down the trees on the platform.
Now, if you carry the wood up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, first, the time and manpower are very limited; second, although the thick wood can be rolled down the hillside, there is no way to ignite it, and if it is too far away, it will be extinguished in the middle of the way; third, it is not possible to use rockets, the distance is still too far, and the effect is not great.
But Yiyun insisted that he had a way, and he demanded that Xue Zhutou's men must hold the intersection to the death when the time comes, and never let the bandits break through the encirclement and escape down the mountain.
Xue Zhutou was suspicious, so he urged Yiyun to quickly carry out the attack.
Soon, Yiyun and the apprentices who had been prepared for a long time quietly climbed to the top of the cottage from the side of the main peak.
The items they brought to the mountain were simple: bags made of rope nets and a few buckets of animal fat.
There are indeed no trees on the slopes of the main peak of the Great Black Mountain, and there are very few shrubs. However, there are many long-stemmed plants and dead grass that grow on the ground.
Now, according to the method of the Yiyun Sect, the apprentices will copy these plants and dead grass in the same place with the knives they carry with them, cut and shovel the ground, and fill them in their pockets, making the rope net bag bulge and round, so that it is conducive to throwing a section and then rolling down.
On the steep hillside above the cottage, you can fall to the roof or platform as long as you roll all the way down.
-- A few barrels of animal fat are naturally used to fuel combustion.
After a dozen or so people were busy for a while, dozens of bags were packed, and a part of the soil was appropriately mixed in to increase the stability and speed of the rolling of the ignition material bags.
A qiē is ready. Yiyun first picked up a bag and lit it on fire, and when the fire started, he lifted it and threw it forward!
I saw the fuel bag fly a long way away with a puff of smoke, and then it landed on the hillside, bouncing and rolling, and in the distance I saw it fall right on the roof made of wooden planks.
The apprentices followed Yiyun's example and threw the fuel bags out one by one.
In order to save space, the houses on the platform are all two- or three-story wooden buildings, and they are all connected into a whole, so the fire on one of the roofs quickly stretches out a long tongue of fire under the mountain wind, and it continues to spread in all directions.
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
In a short time, the fuel pouches turned into fireballs and landed one after another on houses, on platforms, and into crowds......
This inexplicable and sudden fireball made the bandits stunned all at once. (To be continued......)
