Chapter Twenty-Nine: Driving the Enemy and Leading the Way

After the noon tactical meeting, the attack was postponed to the next day, and the cavalry team had more time to prepare all night, and the cadets were busy according to the officers' requirements.

Another morning, the bandits at the dock checkpoint sat around the table and picked up their rice bowls, eating and listening to the ringleader's chatter and curse.

"Last time, the second leader still bites and doesn't let go, it's not that we were derelict in our duties, we didn't pay the silver of the reward, his grandmother, the devil knows how those boys slipped in, if it weren't for the fact that our brother was yin when he ran away, it would be strange that he could catch up with others like a bird. ”

The sentry post is the eyeliner of the bandits, and it is also the most dangerous place, you must pretend to be a fisherman's boat owner on weekdays, you can't eat, drink and have fun at will like the accomplices of the old camp, once your whereabouts are exposed, the sentry card must be the first to be unlucky, if you don't have a lot of silver every month, you can go to fool around with the coquettish women in the city for a few more days, maybe you will have to slip away and join the bandits.

A few days ago, there were five people who avoided the sentry post, and slipped into the valley without knowing it, until the trap outside the camp injured one before revealing their whereabouts, the bandits knew at a glance that it was a child camp student, dozens of people chased out, and let the handsome student soldier led by shoot and wound several people, chased to the river and did not even leave a single hair, afterwards the big leader jumped like thunder, and almost withdrew from the old nest to rebuild the nest.

"Head, let's hack two to death in the boat, three jumped into the river, that's no way, the big boss said in front of everyone that he would give a heavy reward, and the second leader dared to deduct it?"

"After the reward, Lao Tzu will definitely take the big head, and he will not treat everyone badly, you and his grandmother are suspecting me to swallow it alone. The eyes of the leader with the beard flashed fiercely, and the mouse's eyes hurriedly smiled: "How dare you, I just don't understand, the second leader is getting more and more bold, I heard that he has confronted the big boss several times, and he doesn't want to live?"

"It's not a stand--" The bowl on the table trembled slightly, and Lu Beard stopped talking, and he threw down the rice bowl alertly, and took the big knife from the wall and ran out of the door, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"There is business coming to the door?" A few people in the mouse eyes were surprised and delighted, it was a good thing that someone came to send silver early in the morning, but people were afraid that there were dozens of people who heard the voice, and it seemed that they could not swallow it by the sentry card, so they could only deal with it for a while, and report the message to let the brothers of the old camp start.

The bearded man ignored the nagging of his subordinates, stood on the wooden pier and looked at the direction of the horse's hooves, his black face changed uncertainly, and he was a little hesitant to hide to the south bank, this moment of delay, the sound of the horse's hooves was much closer, and suddenly there was a fast-moving black cloud in front of him, and dozens of black-clothed cavalry were killing from a distance with their sabers raised.

"Get on board!" the bearded man shouted, and when he ran to the boat by the river, the others followed, one of them waved his knife to cut the cable, and jumped into the boat, a row of sharp arrows had been whistling and shooting, and the unlucky bandits used their backs to make shields for their accomplices, and there were also people on the boat who were hit by arrows, and they couldn't help but let out a few screams.

"Bastard, hang the sails!" Lu Beard scolded angrily when he saw this, and kicked the mouse eye with the arrow off the boat, and the penny connected the dots to make the boat leave the river bank and flee quickly along the water, and the long arrow shot by the cavalry fell into the river behind the boat, and several strong ones also made the beard use the penny to pull away. The boat sailed smoothly, and by the time the cavalry rushed to the river, the boat had already moved away from the riverbank.

After the cavalry dismounted, a dozen or so people quickly ran on the boat, waiting for the people on the shore to untie the cable, rowing the wood pulp to chase the bandits, but the boat floated forward for a short while, and it whirled on the river, a boat rolled over under the indiscriminate manipulation of the cavalry, so that the bearded man who watched from a distance secretly rejoiced, these bastards are good at riding horses and archery, but they obviously don't understand the nature of the water, and they are not worthy of the boat to Lao Tzu at the moment, and they can't help but howl a few times when they think of the proudness, and they insult the shore cavalry while fleeing for their lives with their subordinates.

The cavalry reluctantly dragged the boat to the shore, watching the bandits escape, they were a little puzzled in their hearts, if they attacked on foot at night, none of these bastards could escape, but why did the coach attack with such fanfare, the result was only one dead and one wounded two bandits, Heihar heard the news and was not far away, what a good fighter the cavalry team missed, who planned this broken tactic.

Coach Qiu led people to search the hut, looking at the gradually blurring shadow of the ship in the distance, with a long-lost mockery on his face.

The mouse was hit by an arrow in the eye and leg to kick off the boat, and he only had time to **** a few words to his bearded relatives in his heart, and he was paddling his arms and struggling to float to the water, when he felt that his hands were grabbed, dragging him from the water to the shore, and he emerged from the side of the big boat before he fainted, and was knocked out by a punch before he opened his mouth, and when he woke up, he was lying on the ground of the thatched hut, and a black face with a hideous scar was looking at him, as if he was smiling and full of mockery.

"Wake up so soon, your life is quite hard, do you know Heihar, do you want them to remind me?" sat up with the mouse's eyes square, Scar's face facing Nunu's chin beside him, where several students were trying to pretend to be vicious, fiddling with their daggers.

"Two dead and one wounded, they all know the dead and injured, this is not counting the seven people before, those are their seniors, I believe you know. Coach Qiu said and stood up and put psychological pressure on the mouse eye: "They torture people to be laymen, but it doesn't matter, before you get the road map on the other side, they will cut you a piece of meat every ten breaths." Hehe, if you dare not do it, you will not be able to get military merits, and you will be dealt with by military law. ”

After Coach Qiu finished speaking, he walked out of the hut, and soon after, a vicious curse from the mouse eyes came from inside, but it soon turned into a miserable cry. The female sentinel was guarding the war horse not far away, and frowned one by one when she heard the sound, this scream was like a dying beast, what kind of torture was Liu Zihui using to force a confession.

"Where did he and the three sentinels go?" Mei Ying wondered in her heart, Gao Yuan didn't speak at the meeting, just handed a few pieces of paper to Coach Qiu, and after several instructors took turns to read it, they took him to the distant bushes where everyone couldn't hear the sound, and then came back The original attack was postponed, and it became the current stalemate.

Lu Beard rowed the boat to the opposite shore, and as soon as he pulled the boat ashore and buckled it to the ground, two bandits on the south bank ran over with letter cannons, and shouted from afar: "Beard, is it too prickly, do you want to release a signal?" The sentinels on both sides of the strait are not subordinate to each other, and this is also because Hei Har is afraid that the sentry cards will collude to eat alone, so that the two groups of people can monitor each other, and the people on the south bank are even more trusted by him, but he can't figure out the identity and origin of dozens of people, so he asked for the opinion of the bearded man, so as not to misreport the military situation and make a false alarm.

"Don't scream, it's the standard goods, it's too prickly. Road Beard's resentful gaze as he spoke was to the opposite bank, where the cavalry was gathering their ships and seemed to be catching up soon. The silver that Lao Tzu hid under the bed was better than these pups, and Lu Beard said with hatred: "Fart signal! Hurry back to Yukou, let Erdaogang go to report the news, and wait for the big leader's order." ”

After a brief communication between the two leaders, they led their men into the grass beach on the south bank. According to the rules, leaving people to observe in secret, that is purely self-seeking ideas, actual combat training of trainees, that is, a group of wolves who learn to bite, led by experienced old wolves, more fierce than the army. Whoever dares to stay, the next moment he will pull out a knife and fight with you, the big deal is death.

The bandits ran along the path for three or two miles, slowed down, strangely left the road and walked towards the swamp overgrown with grass and trees, and the road was tortuous, sometimes the ground was flat in front of them, but they took a detour to the muddy ground in the distance, and even turned back several times, and walked back from the grass and trees for a while, and then walked again from the other end to the valley. The road that the bandits walked was tortuous and coiled, as if they were deliberately avoiding danger, and it took half a day to complete the distance of ten miles, and when they entered the low forest, they were obviously relieved, and accelerated their pace to run deeper into the woods.

There were a few stables hidden in the woods, and the leader of the bandits on the south bank said a brief hello, untied one horse and ran away, and the others scolded a few words and left one after another, and the stables were empty in an instant.

The bandits did not leave much, and behind a tree not far from the stable, the square-faced officer vigilantly poked out half of his head, carefully observed the movement for a while, and suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, and took stealth under the tree in front of him, alternating with Excellence and Chang Hai for cover. After the three of them searched the stable, the square-faced officer put away his knife, and he was lucky in his heart, if he hadn't changed his tactics temporarily, he was afraid that this section of the road would be a ghost gate.

The fleeing bandits didn't notice that when they abandoned ship and ran to the grass beach, they had been under the alert gaze of three pairs of alert people in the grass next to them, and the square-faced instructor with Excellence and Chang Hai quietly followed behind them. In the middle of the night before the cavalry attacked the dock, the square-faced officer took the two of them to swim across the Qinghe River from the far side of the dock, and ambushed in the grass and trees behind the thatched hut on the south bank, enduring mosquito bites for more than two hours.

Soon after following the fleeing bandits, the square-faced officer noticed that something was wrong, and commanded Zhuo Zhuo and Chang Hai to plant a small flag on the ground - a small pennant made by the female sentinel with military uniforms and wooden sticks, took out a rope from the military bag and tied it to a long knife, and threw it at the road where the bandits had bypassed. The road surface was flat with weeds, and it didn't look the slightest bit unusual, but the long knife fell to the ground and suddenly changed, and it actually pulled the rope and continued to sink, sinking nearly a foot deep before there was no movement, the square-faced officer was secretly shocked in his heart, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, and Zhuo Zhuo and Chang Hai were wide-eyed at that time, if even people and horses stepped on it, wouldn't it sink faster! The three of them no longer dared to be careless, and they stayed behind the bandits all the way, and carefully planted the small flags in the direction.

Excellence found a large rock on the road, lifted it up and threw it at the grass next to it, the stone smashed into the grass, but it made a low sound of falling water, and the grass dispersed and the muddy water bubbled out. Every time the bandits make a detour, there are traps hidden in front of them, and I don't know if it is artificial or natural. The cavalry rushed over quickly, and Excellence didn't dare to think down, and this swamp trap alone would make everyone doomed. I was afraid and a little regretful at the same time, how did Gao Yuan detect that there would be traps on the road on the south bank, and formulated a plan to startle the snakes, so that the fleeing bandits could lead the way to the cavalry, could I really not compare to him, an orphan in the mountains and wilderness who had never seen the world.

"Thanks to Takagaki!" Chang Hai didn't have much scheming, he sat down on the ground in the stable, took out the dried meat from his military bag and pulled it into his mouth, and praised Takagaki vaguely, completely forgetting who was saying that it was a ghost idea. Zhuo Zhuo scraped the sludge on his military uniform with a short knife, and his eyes looked at the square-faced officer, he understood that it was not appropriate to ask at this time, but Chang Hai opened his mouth, and the officer always had something to say.

"That kid grew up in the mountains, and of course the hunter can see where the trap is suitable. The square-faced officer figured out the mystery of Gao Yuan's insight into the crisis in advance, and also sat down to rest, and arranged the next task by the way: "Rest meeting, Chang Hai will turn back and lead the way, so that the people behind me must not be careless! ”

While the square-faced officers were resting, Coach Qiu was wiping the saber with a calm face, and under his feet was a headless corpse with mouse eyes.

Liu Zihui forced him to ask for the route map and the location of the bandit's nest, but after the cavalry team crossed the river, Coach Qiu took out the road map and compared it with the small flag on the ground, and found that the danger of starting a section of marks was similar, but the mouse eye hid a vicious scheming behind it, and intentionally or unintentionally missed a few traps, and some of the marks also deviated from their positions.

"Throw the body over. Coach Qiu pointed to the safe route marked by the mouse's eye, Liu Zihui gritted his teeth and grabbed the corpse, picked it up and smashed it. The mire devoured the corpses, and the bubbles bubbled up like the round eyes of the cadets. It's too vicious, this bastard is clearly cheating everyone, according to the road map he drawn, I'm afraid that someone will die unjustly on the grass beach at this moment. The head of the rat's eye made the student soldier chop into pieces, regardless of keeping it that could be exchanged for battle merits.

"One by one, lead the horse, be careful with your step, don't deviate from the direction!" Coach Qiu calmed down and led the way, and before leaving, his eyes swept over Mei Ying and coldly ordered: "The bandits are cunning and ferocious, otherwise they won't be alive now, put away your so-called benevolent heart, and only by living can there be hope of victory, tactics are originally conspiracy and trickery, everything is for victory, not just talking." ”
